After Sinjar, ISIS feels pinch in Mosul
BAGHDAD - The Islamic State (ISIS) is feeling the pinch in Mosul, Iraq's second largest city. The militants are under pressure in the northern Iraqi city, having lost a major supply route running through Sinjar, some 130 km to the west, to their capital, the Syrian city of Raqqa.
With a US-led coalition intensifying its bombing campaign in the area, some ISIS militants are anxious that their rule in Mosul is drawing to an end, residents said. As a result, they said more militants are defecting, fleeing with Iraqi refugees into Syria.
Mohammed, a 37-year-old civil engineer and one of five Mosul residents interviewed by The Arab Weekly, said organisational disputes and the growing frustration of a population increasingly resentful of ISIS had dealt serious blows to the group.
Some of Mosul's Sunni tribes backed ISIS when it captured the city on June 10, 2014. Since then, Iraq's Shia-dominated government has repeatedly promised a military offensive to retake Mosul but progress has been slow, in part because of ISIS gains elsewhere in the country. In May, militants drove Iraq's army out of Ramadi, capital of the western province of Anbar, some 120 km west of Baghdad.
Despite the promises, there are few signs of an imminent military operation to retake Mosul.
"They are so edgy now," Mohammed insisted, referring to ISIS leaders in the city, which he said once hosted a number of foreign fighters, including some from Australia, the United Kingdom and France.
"They're eliminating some of their most influential local commanders, as a reprimand to others and to scare off the people," he said.
He pointed out that Nasser al- Amoonah al-Takriti, an ex-al-Qaeda in Iraq leader and later a commander of a special operations brigade in ISIS, was killed in a main Mosul square on November 28th because he sought to "retire".
Mohammed said ISIS was growing increasingly impatient with Mosul residents outside the group who refused its orders. He and the other Mosul residents said they witnessed the November 12th killing of Abdullah Sultan al-Abidi, the chairman of the University of Mosul's Physics Department.
ISIS militants shot Abidi several times in the head and body, killing him in another square in Mosul. The professor is said to have refused an ISIS request to develop a biological weapon to use against government forces.
Mosul resident Thanoon Yunis insisted that "things were much better six months ago".
"At the time, they tried to show us a kind face, that they cared for the people. They were patient and helpful. They paved new roads, cleaned and lit up streets and forced a reduction in the prices of all commodities," Yunis said.
"But their loss in Sinjar made them seethe with anger and later they turned jumpy because they're anxious over what's next," he said.
"The tumultuous state of mind they're in is clear. We can see it. As soon as you look in the face of one of them, he instantly takes out his anger at you and starts questioning you: 'Why are you looking at me? You want to give away information about me? You don't like me?'
"When he's done with you, you'd be shaken to death and you can barely stand up," Yunis added.
On November 13th, Kurdish peshmerga forces, backed by US air cover, recaptured most of Sinjar, cutting off a major supply line to ISIS.
Although some Mosul truck drivers, forced by ISIS to find alternative routes, stumbled on one linking their city with Raqqa in Syria, the road is unsafe, according to Mohammed.
He said a 60-km stretch out of an estimated 450-km distance between the ISIS strongholds is unpaved. Dirt turns to mud in winter, which could make it impossible for trailers to complete the journey.
According to Mosul residents, the new route heads south out of the city rather than west. Trucks drive to Tal Abtah on a paved highway, then take the dirt road until Qayrawan, which is also known as Balij, a sub-district south-west of Mosul. They take a paved road there, not far from Mount Sinjar, and then into Syria.
Another resident, Ibrahim Najjar, said although ISIS militants confine themselves to certain areas in the city, mainly to be among the population such as in the marketplace, the number of fighters is "big".
"There are several hundred of them scattered across different areas in groups," he said. He said his information came from a relative who had recently joined the militants.
"There are foreigners here, too, but not as visible as they used to (be)," he said. "They mostly do the planning and supervise the men in the field from the comfort of their offices in town."

Ever since Republicans and the Religious Right decided that the tenets of a candidate's faith were fair game in the political arena, Barack Obama has been getting slammed for his affiliation with Jeremiah Wright and had his faith maligned by everyone from Rob Schenck to James Dobson.
But in all likelihood, efforts to point out the fact that Sarah Palin pastor's are "convinced [that] we are living in the last days" and believe that the "purpose for the United States is… to glorify God" will be decried by the Right as evidence of anti-Christian bigotry, as will highlighting Palin's apparent belief that her political positions are manifestations of "God's will."
And presumably, the McCain campaign, which had to dump John Hagee because of his controversial remarks about Hitler, the Holocaust, and Jews, will not be particularly eager to discuss this:
Palin's pastor, Larry Kroon, introduced [David Brickner, the founder of Jews for Jesus] on Aug. 17, according to a transcript of the sermon on the church's website.
"He's a leader of Jews for Jesus, a ministry that is out on the leading edge in a pressing, demanding area of witnessing and evangelism," Kroon said.
Brickner then explained that Jesus and his disciples were themselves Jewish.
"The Jewish community, in particular, has a difficult time understanding this reality," he said.
Brickner's mission has drawn wide criticism from the organized Jewish community, and the Anti-Defamation League accused them in a report of "targeting Jews for conversion with subterfuge and deception."
Brickner also described terrorist attacks on Israelis as God's "judgment of unbelief" of Jews who haven't embraced Christianity.
"Judgment is very real and we see it played out on the pages of the newspapers and on the television. It's very real. When [Brickner's son] was in Jerusalem he was there to witness some of that judgment, some of that conflict, when a Palestinian from East Jerusalem took a bulldozer and went plowing through a score of cars, killing numbers of people. Judgment — you can't miss it."
Palin was in church that day, Kroon said, though he cautioned against attributing Brickner's views to her.

Riddick (Trailer #1) Review
Well here it is the first full trailer to the final film in the Riddick trilogy. I loved the first film, it had a unique feel to it and was so simple it's hard not enjoy the ride. Then the follow up Chronicles of Riddick which was so far in the opposite direction even I had trouble keeping track of the Sci-Fi/Fantasy elements at play. Now watching this trailer I obviously feel it taking more influence from the first film, stranded on a desert planet, bounty hunters, the nasty monsters come out at night, R RATING! Love it all and I think it will be at the very least fun. Also got some interesting casting going on which I will talk about later, but on that note where the hell Karl Urban? Honestly put him in the trailer! The action looks good, the monsters look scary and Riddick's eyes are glowing so let's get this review started! Comment and like at the end please.
My Score: B+
Release date: 6th September 2013
Betrayed by his own kind and left for dead on a desolate planet, Riddick fights for survival against alien predators and becomes more powerful and dangerous than ever before. Soon bounty hunters from throughout the galaxy descend on Riddick only to find themselves pawns in his greater scheme for revenge. With his enemies right where he wants them, Riddick unleashes a vicious attack of vengeance before returning to his home planet of Furya to save it from destruction.
Top 10 Scenes
10. Riddick's Back!
What a brilliant opening to a trailer. As the Vulture thing descends to land and feed on a fresh corpse Riddick grabs its neck. Love it! It's in keeping with the character and the planet definitely resembles the first film.
9. Where'd The Dog Come From?
Just a little random, but a dog appears with him out of nowhere. Granted it's an alien dog thing but I thought it was very strange since it doesn't appear again. Is it just a random animal that walks next to him in that scene (that would be neat) or just not explained in the trailer?
8. Dragged Into Darkness
Any excuse at the minute to say into darkness mwahahaha. Anyway the scene is great as the shots just go from a group of hunters to being the hunted.
7. Hey Look It's Drax And Starbuck
Yeah…let's cut him loose. Love it, hell is descending upon them and they have the common sense to release Riddick. The actors we have here, on the left will be Drax in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy and on the right we have Starbuck from the Battlestar Galactica.
6. Fighting For The High Ground
Why he is in that position is beyond me but it looks very cool and in the scene you get a close up of Riddick full on throwing a spear into the head of a big beasty, like in the next image.
5. Slice Him Down The Middle
Gut that freaky monster! Make it two monsters.
4. Look At That Beasty
Look at the detail on that badass beasty, looking pretty good so far with a small budget. You don't need big budgets! I keep saying people.
3. Our New Ripley?
That picture looks so kick ass! It really reminds me of Ripley in that Aliens scene taking on the alien. I hope she does really well because she looks right and some more strong female characters never hurts in the Sci-Fi genre.
2. I am Not Taking A Bath With Them
What a brilliant shot to show both the threat of moment/ monsters in general and the sheer number of them. It very similar to the number of nasty's in first film.
1. Fight Back To Back
This is easily the best shot, back to back fighting with the enemy surrounding you, going to predict it to my favourite scene of the film. On a more focused note we get a good look at the creatures and well they can only be described as a hybrid between a Velociraptor and a scorpion, what a terrifying combo.
New Poster
Well that's my views. Now what do you think about this newest trailer?
28 responses to "Riddick (Trailer #1) Review"
Josh Lyons says :
I really enjoyed Pitch Black. In fact, I even liked Chronicles (though Pitch Black was better). And while I enjoyed Chronicles well enough, you can tell with this one they have moved back towards Pitch Black in tone and everything and I feel that's a good thing. I'll be looking forward to checking this one out.
Chris says :
Definitely gives me vibes of the first movie, which isn't a bad thing. Thought like you, I'm curious about the absence of Karl Urban. Teaser images have shown that they're incorporating the ending of Chronicles in some fashion at least, but based on this trailer, it looks like it may well get the plug pulled on it early on, similar to what Resident Evil 4 did with the Alice clone army. Hope that's not the case here, though, as I feel that'd be a wasted opportunity to further try out some new things, which is what I liked so much about the second one, but I dunno, we'll see…

Afterlife group
Keep track of Afterlife events, tickets and news - all in one place. Join this group now for updates as they happen!
There are no upcoming events listed at the moment - check back later.
Now in its third season, Afterlife has been making big waves in the underground techno scene since its appearance in 2016 and return in 2017. The Italian duo Tale Of Us, at the helm of curating the nights for our aural pleasure, is being true to their concept's name and now returning to where it all started under its current guise Hï Ibiza.
Afterlife showcases a collection of artists from Life and Death, Innervisions and Dystopian. Last summer, they rocketed us into space with the kind of sensory overload that brought us all to our knees.
This season, the mesmerising beats and hypnotic rhythms are back. Taking us on a journey to otherworldly dimensions, we have the likes of Adriatique, Âme, Antigone, Ben Klock, Denis Horvat, Dixon, Jamie Jones, Jon Hopkins, Kiasmos, KiNK, Konstantin, Maceo Plex, Mano Le Tough, Marcel Dettmann, Modeselektor, Mind Against, Nina Kraviz, Patrice Bäumel, Robert Hood, Rødhåd, Thugfucker, Vaal and, of course, Tale Of Us.
We will also be at the mercy of spellbinding live performances from Agents Of Time, Amandra, Answer Code Request, Antonio Riuscito, Ateq, Bjarki, FJAAK, Recondite, Mathew Jonson, Monoloc, Mathew Jonson, Ovend, Schwarzmann, Sebastian Mullaert, Stephan Bodzin, Vril and Woo York.
Also on the roster, we have Aether, Alex.Do, Barnt, Ben UFO, Etapp Kyle, Fideles, Hunter/Game,Gerd Janson, Kevin De Vries, Kobosil, Locked Groove, Mathame, Roland Appel, Roman Flügel, Ryan Elliott, Scuba, Somne, Tijana T, Tone Depth and Trikk.
Of course, the hosts Tale Of Us will be at the decks every week, too. Like the previous seasons, this one promises to go down as one for the books, returning to its birthplace while getting even more adventurous.
With tailor-made production, bespoke lighting, installations and visuals, the residency includes renowned visual artist Quayola. Afterlife lands on the White Isle on 28 June with the season running for 15 weeks until 4 October 2018.
It's fair to say that any underground electronic music lover will be securing some of this action while on the island in the summer of 2018.

Topic: AlternativeFuels2Gas
If you have a diesel engine in your car, then you can have a spanking brand new source of fuel. You can say bye bye to gas prices. All you need is to have a conversion kit from Greasecar Vegetable Fuel Systems. The kit will your diesel car to run on vegetable oil. That is right. You are talking about the same olive oil waste that was used in frying your meals at the local restaurants. Now, you do not have to go buy all kinds of canola, coconut, soybean and peanut oils yet. Make arrangements with some local restaurants who will be all too happy to let you have the waste. Otherwise, they will have to pay an cooking oil waste company to transport somewhere else. Now may be the time to have it free. Once the genie is out of the box and the nascent technology catches up, the cooking oil waste may become a product you will buy.
In the Central Valley of California, and precisely two professors of FPU have gained some experience converting their and family members' cars. In an effort to raise money for Mennonite Central Committee, they will go on a cross-country trek in a rebuilt Jetta retrofitted to use the vegetable oil. That is the new local buzz according to startribune.com from Minneapolis and Minnesota or the Twin Cities. Now if you want to give kudos to these guys or help raise money for MCC which is involved in international development projects, go to "Fritter-Fried Journey" to do so. Ken Friesen and Marshall Johnston have a great sense of humor. They want to show that there are alternative to fossil fuels. They are ready to take the trip and raise money for a good cause. Call them crazy, but figure out that they tap into something that most of us should do. Buy a diesel car and convert the gasoline fossil fuel guzzler to vegetable oil! The good thing about driving a vegetable oil-fueled car is that it pollutes less the environment. Here is what you will read on the site, "...diesel cars can run on used deep-fry oil from any Chinese or Vietnamese restaurant, or McDonalds french frier. The result is an engine that uses only recycled, renewable fuel, and runs cleaner and more efficiently than one using fossil-fuel (and smells like whatever was cooked in the oil!)."
Professor Johnston is influencing many other people as he drives his cool Jetta to campus. He teaches history and classics while Ken Friesen teaches political science and history at Fresno Pacific. Now these are two guys who can get their fingers dirty despite their huge brain! D'Oh, it takes brain to figure out this can be done too!
What if these two teachers get so much work that they decide to quit FPU! No. They can hire some guys to do it while keeping their teaching jobs. Any way, give your support to Friesen Fritter Fired Fossil Fuel Free Drive!

Books I want to Buy and a rant on Bookstores
You've heard me say it only a million times; I'm kind of a library fanatic. If I'm reading a book, I probably got it from the library.
However, being the breed of bookworm that I am merits people getting the idea that I must spent years of my time in my local Barnes and Noble. Hence, I tend to accrue several bookstore gift cards on just about every occasion there is. (My high school even gave me a small Barnes and Noble gift card as an award. I was grateful, but you know, do I really read THAT much?) Don't get me wrong; Barnes and Noble is a glorious wonderland, and so are my favorite independent bookshops and comic stores, but if I'm going to spend money on a book, I better have reason.
I don't reread books very often, which is why the library is always a great idea for me. Why buy something I'm going to read once? However, after reading Looking for Alaska by John Green at my library, I went out and got the collector's edition from Barnes and Noble. I definitely plan to reread that book in the future, it's that good. And maybe get a tattoo, move to Alaska, and name my firstborn HankJohn..
I'm totally kidding here.
About the tattoo.
OK. Fine, I'm bluffing about the first born. JohnHank is a far superior title for a 21st century human (*if you would like some FABULOUS name suggestions, I'm totally your girl! #sarcasm*)
So, here are a few books I want to buy/own at some point in the future:
1. S by JJ Abrams
Yes, you read that right. If you hadn't already heard, THE JJ Abrams (Lost, Star Trek, Fringe, and a whole lot of other shows and films) created the concept for this book. I myself was pretty darn shocked, and excited, when I found out it was a thing a few days ago on Booktube.
I haven't read this yet, so my desire to own it isn't based on knowing I want to reread it. I want to own S because I know that inside it, along with the text, are lots of inserts. I think this is such a cool idea, and I don't know that the experience of the book would be the same at a library. Mine does not own this book yet, so my question would be; are we going to lend it out sans inserts, or not own it at all?
Plus, it just sounds freaking awesome.
2. Armada by Ernest Cline
Again, haven't read this book yet, but I do have high hopes for it. I already stand behind Cline's work because of the pure amazingness that was/is Ready Player One. I know Armada isn't RPO, and you shouldn't expect it to be RPO, but I know I will enjoy it. Plus, instead of a gazillion 80's pop culture references I don't understand, Armada is all about video games, which I can totally be thrilled about.
3. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
I just reviewed this one last night, and in my review I mentioned the collector's edition. I like the idea of reliving Fangirl all over again, because of all the emotions that went on while I read it. I actually had a bunch of overdue fines on this one from not wanting to let it go.
(Oh god, I spent all afternoon with my Frozen-loving cousin and does that song ever end??)
And of course, comics.
Now, I'm not going to list all the comics and graphic novels I want to read in the future. I've already spammed my Goodreads friends with Green Lantern volumes. However, I adore some ongoing series like Ms. Marvel, and I'd love to start picking up more of the individual issues. Waiting for trades is an absolute PAIN, especially when some series you are interested in are not even in Trade form yet. *cough* Spider Gwen *cough* I also want to continue on with Saga; Volume 1 had me hooked.
That's it for today, friends! What books are you looking forward to purchasing/receiving from your super nice pals in the future? Let me know in the comments below!

"Adobe is a rocket ship"
It was cool to read what Blair Reeves had to write about Adobe in his Bullish Data Newsletter… pretty much in line with what we've been telling the market we're trying to do, and have been heads-down working on for the last few years. Wonderful to be in the company of other great, smart, passionate professionals in our #AdobeLife who are working together and becoming "a cast study candidate"…
Adobe is a rocket shipAdobe's Q2 report came out on Monday, and I updated my running chart of financial performance for the company and Marketing Cloud specifically. The company is on a tear. While their P/E multiple is still at eye-watering levels, in 2015 they've nearly doubled their operating margin from where it was in 2013/2014 and begun to ramp up net income in a big way. The fruits of their pivot to a cloud model are beginning to show.One day, Adobe should be a case study candidate for a company that has successfully done two extremely difficult things well – simultaneously. First, they pivoted from an on–prem software model to mostly cloud. The transition to Creative Cloud, while ceasing the sale of their on-prem creative products, involved swapping out one source of revenue for another (recurring) one, which distorted the optics of their revenue growth for several years. It's a tribute to their strong leadership and clear communication that they were able to do it as a public company.Second, they built an industry-leading digital marketing line of business from virtually nothing. Starting with the Omniture acquisition in 2009, Adobe has deftly managed its marketing tech acquisitions in such a way as to build enormous value around the portfolio as a whole, and not just through the sum of its parts. (Can you tell I'm trying to avoid saying "synergy?") Very, very few companies have done this nearly as successfully.
One Comment
Blair Reeves
Thanks, Michael! Like I said on twitter, I've found Adobe's cloud pivot to be fascinating. 64% of their total revenue today is from cloud subscriptions, up from 42% a year ago and 15% in 2012. I don't know of any other software vendor that's been able to do that nearly as well. Kudos.

Canada Water group Herbs and Spaces is calling for volunteers to help the local community gardening initiative grow.
Herbs and Spaces will allow people to pick their own fresh herbs – including parsley, mint, and rosemary- for free from public planters around Greenland Dock. The group, led by local Fredy Vasilev, has just secured funding to set up the initiative, and been given the go ahead from Southwark Council.
Volunteers are needed to water the planters daily, and to weed. "We need volunteers for both the organisation of the group as well as plant maintenance," Fredy told the Weekender. "We are also trying to get people involved in the making of the planter making: mixing concrete, casting the planters, and later on construction of the self-watering system, filling with soil, planting."
As part of a recent fundraising event, and with less than a month's notice, the Herbs and Spaces community raised a team of 17 people and ran the Big Half wearing homemade t-shirts.
"Time wasn't on our side from the start but that was not going to dampen our spirits and so there was no other way but to print our own t-shirts," Fredy said. "We designed and printed our own individual vinyl logos, runner names and numbers. It was really impressive how everyone rallied together in the daily workshops held from the Herbs and Spaces HQ in the week running up the big day."

The hand-painted Fan Pilsner is a 20 ounce beer glass which stands just over 8 inches tall. The pilsner glass is an elegant design - tall, slender, and tapered. The slender glass reveals the colour and carbonation of the beer, while the broad top (3.25 inches) will help maintain a frothy beer head.
The artist uses wispy, bold strokes of color against a hand-frosted glass. Fan is an elegant design for all seasons!
Amy's Story
I've often been told I should have named this design "feather". When I created this design, I was thinking of the fans made of feathers - colorful and playful. Not the electric fans we see all over in the summer time moving the hot humid air or the throngs of people surrounding a superstar, it was much simpler than all that. The fans of days gone by, when ladies wore gowns to dinner and everyday activities were of a grander scale. The elegance in daily use.
By the way, this is my mother's favorite design. Whenever she needs a gift for a special occasion, she calls me to paint "something in Fan" for her.

Steel guitar virtuoso Jon Rauhouse's second Bloodshoot album delivers a variegated blend of cowboy jazz, retro-country and a little inspired wackiness.
The set's most accessible material comes via the Big Band-era's "Smoke Rings" and "Prisoner of Love," which Kelly Hogan sings with plenty of understated, yet steamy '40s panache. Equally impressive is Neko Case's pure and pretty emotional connection to the acoustic redrafting of "River of No Return." Rauhouse himself offers some sturdy western bandleader vocals on "Coin and Coffee" and the Gene Krupa-flavored "Indian Love Call." But, make no mistake, the reason you listen to a Rauhouse album is to dig that eerie steel guitar playing. Whether recutting "The Saber Dance" as "Powerhouse," getting Django Rhinehart jazzy with "Roaches to Room Service" or transforming Fred Steiner's "Perry Mason Theme" into space-age noir, Rauhouse effortlessly conjures both dancehall and starlight atmosphere galore. Then, once you've grown accustomed to his style, he slams you with a little banjo overdrive bluegrass ("Jennifer's Breakdown"), a garage rock "Sixteen Tons" hybrid ("Work Work") and some sweet Hawaiian sounds ("Hamma Hamma Hula").
Exhibiting an obvious love of pop culture, Rauhouse has crafted a project that entertains on several different levels and offers something fresh with each successive listening.

We infer global and regional emissions of five of the most abundant hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) using atmospheric measurements from the Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment and the National Institute for Environmental Studies, Japan, networks. We find that the total CO2-equivalent emissions of the five HFCs from countries that are required to provide detailed, annual reports to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) increased from 198 (175-221) Tg-CO2-eq.y(-1) in 2007 to 275 (246-304) Tg-CO2-eq.y(-1) in 2012. These global warming potential-weighted aggregated emissions agree well with those reported to the UNFCCC throughout this period and indicate that the gap between reported emissions and global HFC emissions derived from atmospheric trends is almost entirely due to emissions from nonreporting countries. However, our measurement-based estimates of individual HFC species suggest that emissions, from reporting countries, of the most abundant HFC, HFC-134a, were only 79% (63-95%) of the UNFCCC inventory total, while other HFC emissions were significantly greater than the reported values. These results suggest that there are inaccuracies in the reporting methods for individual HFCs, which appear to cancel when aggregated together.
We present the organization, instrumentation, datasets, data interpretation, modeling, and accomplishments of the multinational global atmospheric measurement program AGAGE (Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment). AGAGE is distinguished by its capability to measure globally, at high frequency, and at multiple sites all the important species in the Montreal Protocol and all the important non-carbon-dioxide (non-CO2) gases assessed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (CO2 is also measured at several sites). The scientific objectives of AGAGE are important in furthering our understanding of global chemical and climatic phenomena. They are the following: (1) to accurately measure the temporal and spatial distributions of anthropogenic gases that contribute the majority of reactive halogen to the stratosphere and/or are strong infrared absorbers (chlorocarbons, chlorofluorocarbons CFCs, bromocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons HCFCs, hydrofluorocarbons HFCs and polyfluorinated compounds (perfluorocarbons PFCs), nitrogen trifluoride NF3, sulfuryl fluoride SO2F2, and sulfur hexafluoride SF6) and use these measurements to determine the global rates of their emission and/or destruction (i.e., lifetimes); (2) to accurately measure the global distributions and temporal behaviors and determine the sources and sinks of non-CO2 biogenic anthropogenic gases important to climate change and/or ozone depletion (methane CH4, nitrous oxide N20, carbon monoxide CO, molecular hydrogen H2, methyl chloride CH3C1, and methyl bromide CH3Br); (3) to identify new long-lived greenhouse and ozone -depleting gases (e.g., SO2F2, NF3, heavy PFCs (C4Fm, C5F12, C6F 14, C7F16, and C8F18) and hydrofluoroolefins (HF0s; e.g., CH2 = CFCF3) have been identified in AGAGE), initiate the real-time monitoring of these new gases, and reconstruct their past histories from AGAGE, air archive, and firn air measurements; (4) to determine the average concentrations and trends of tropospheric hydroxyl radicals (OH) from the rates of destruction of atmospheric trichloroethane (CH3CC13), HFCs, and HCFCs and estimates of their emissions; (5) to determine from atmospheric observations and estimates of their destruction rates the magnitudes and distributions by region of surface sources and sinks of all measured gases; (6) to provide accurate data on the global accumulation of many of these trace gases that are used to test the synoptic-, regional-, and global -scale circulations predicted by three-dimensional models; and (7) to provide global and regional measurements of methane, carbon monoxide, and molecular hydrogen and estimates of hydroxyl levels to test primary atmospheric oxidation pathways at midlatitudes and the tropics. Network Information and Data Repository: http://agage.mit.edu/data or http://cdiac.ess-dive.lbl.gov/ndps/alegage.html (https://doi.org/10.3334/CDIAC/atg.db1001).
HCFC-22 (CHClF2, chlorodifluoromethane) is an ozone-depleting substance (ODS) as well as a significant greenhouse gas (GHG). HCFC-22 has been used widely as a refrigerant fluid in cooling and air-conditioning equipment since the 1960s, and it has also served as a traditional substitute for some chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) controlled under the Montreal Protocol. A low frequency record on tropospheric HCFC-22 since the late 1970s is available from measurements of the Southern Hemisphere Cape Grim Air Archive (CGAA) and a few Northern Hemisphere air samples (mostly from Trinidad Head) using the Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (AGAGE) instrumentation and calibrations. Since the 1990s high-frequency, high-precision, in situ HCFC-22 measurements have been collected at these AGAGE stations. Since 1992, the Global Monitoring Division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/Earth System Research Laboratory (NOAA/ESRL) has also collected flasks on a weekly basis from remote sites across the globe and analyzed them for a suite of halocarbons including HCFC-22. Additionally, since 2006 flasks have been collected approximately daily at a number of tower sites across the US and analyzed for halocarbons and other gases at NOAA. All results show an increase in the atmospheric mole fractions of HCFC-22, and recent data show a growth rate of approximately 4% per year, resulting in an increase in the background atmospheric mole fraction by a factor of 1.7 from 1995 to 2009. Using data on HCFC-22 consumption submitted to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), as well as existing bottom-up emission estimates, we first create globally-gridded a priori HCFC-22 emissions over the 15 yr since 1995. We then use the three-dimensional chemical transport model, Model for Ozone and Related Chemical Tracers version 4 (MOZART v4), and a Bayesian inverse method to estimate global as well as regional annual emissions. Our inversion indicates that the global HCFC-22 emissions have an increasing trend between 1995 and 2009. We further find a surge in HCFC-22 emissions between 2005 and 2009 from developing countries in Asia - the largest emitting region including China and India. Globally, substantial emissions continue despite production and consumption being phased out in developed countries currently.
High frequency measurements of trifluoromethane (HFC-23, CHF3), a potent hydrofluorocarbon greenhouse gas, largely emitted to the atmosphere as a by-product of the production of the hydrochlorofluorocarbon HCFC-22 (CHClF2), at five core stations of the Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (AGAGE) network, combined with measurements on firn air, old Northern Hemisphere air samples and Cape Grim Air Archive (CGAA) air samples, are used to explore the current and historic changes in the atmospheric abundance of HFC-23. These measurements are used in combination with the AGAGE 2-D atmospheric 12-box model and a Bayesian inversion methodology to determine model atmospheric mole fractions and the history of global HFC-23 emissions. The global modelled annual mole fraction of HFC-23 in the background atmosphere was 28.9 +/- 0.6 pmol mol(-1) at the end of 2016, representing a 28% increase from 22.6 +/- 0.4 pmol mol(-1) in 2009. Over the same time frame, the modelled mole fraction of HCFC-22 increased by 19% from 199 +/- 2 to 237 +/- 2 pmol mol(-1). However, unlike HFC-23, the annual average HCFC-22 growth rate slowed from 2009 to 2016 at an annual average rate of -0.5 pmol mol(-1) yr(-2). This slowing atmospheric growth is consistent with HCFC-22 moving from dispersive (high fractional emissions) to feedstock (low fractional emissions) uses, with HFC-23 emissions remaining as a consequence of incomplete mitigation from all HCFC-22 production. Our results demonstrate that, following a minimum in HFC-23 global emissions in 2009 of 9.6 +/- 0.6, emissions increased to a maximum in 2014 of 14.5 +/- 0.6 Gg yr(-1) and then declined to 12.7 +/- 0.6 Gg yr(-1) (157 MtCO(2) eq.yr(-1)) in 2016. The 2009 emissions minimum is consistent with estimates based on national reports and is likely a response to the implementation of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) to mitigate HFC-23 emissions by incineration in developing (non-Annex 1) countries under the Kyoto Protocol. Our derived cumulative emissions of HFC-23 during 20102016 were 89 +/- 2 Gg (1.1 +/- 0.2 GtCO(2) eq.), which led to an increase in radiative forcing of 1.0 +/- 0.1mWm(-2) over the same period. Although the CDM had reduced global HFC-23 emissions, it cannot now offset the higher emissions from increasing HCFC-22 production in non-Annex 1 countries, as the CDM was closed to new entrants in 2009. We also find that the cumulative European HFC-23 emissions from 2010 to 2016 were similar to 1.3 Gg, corresponding to just 1.5% of cumulative global HFC-23 emissions over this same period. The majority of the increase in global HFC-23 emissions since 2010 is attributed to a delay in the adoption of mitigation technologies, predominantly in China and East Asia. However, a reduction in emissions is anticipated, when the Kigali 2016 amendment to the Montreal Protocol, requiring HCFC and HFC production facilities to introduce destruction of HFC-23, is fully implemented.

Actually Relying on God
I have very quickly come to realize that this year of #twelve4life will challenge me in numerous ways. Last month I started, and continue, to wrestle with the idea of being vulnerable both with myself and those around me. This month we started to discuss the second step, relying on something greater than yourself. Through a lot of thinking, prayer, and listening this month, there are a few truths that have resonated with me.
To me, relying on something greater than myself means that I am completely trusting in the Lord. This is a concept that is frequently discussed among Christians. I now realize that this is an easy concept in theory, but incredibly difficult to live out on a daily basis. We are far more comfortable to remain in "control" of our lives. "Here God, you can have this part of my life…" or "Let Your will be done… in this way." The difficulty of truly relying on God became evident to me when I started to look at it as a second step to vulnerability. If I have to be vulnerable and recognize that I am not in control first then rely on God means I am not holding anything back.
"The greatest things that I need to change, I cannot manage." This a statement Pastor Shawn made during his sermon this week. This helped me realize that relying on God is more than something that I want to do. If I want to grow, it is something that I need to do. There is no way that I can face all of my struggles on my own. I have blind spots and battles that are too big for one person. Embracing vulnerability allows me to admit that there is an obstacle in front of me that I cannot conquer. I rely on my great and powerful God because He is the only one that can help me to the other side.
Even though I can recognize the need to rely on God, It is terrifying to actually do. In the last blog post, Falicia talked about taking that "leap of faith." She challenged that risk is a part of faith. I started to imagine leaping into something and not landing in the cushy place I hoped for. It was a scary thought and it made me nervous to make any practical steps to completely relying on God. Later in the week, I heard a statement in a spoken word piece. "Whatever was suppose to kill you, didn't, and what does not kill you knows who you belong to." I belong to God and my God will not leave me nor forsake me. If I take that leap, if I let God mold me into His creation, if I hold nothing back, I will be a disciple of Christ who is forever safe in my Father's arms.
A Leap of Faith
Another Blog? Honestly, I don't know how I get myself into these situations.
"Welcome back!" if you have read our blog before and "Welcome!" if you're new to the whole thing.
This month our church is moving onto step 2: Relying on Something Greater than Yourself.
That "something" for us, is God.
Throughout the month of January as I struggled through the concept of "vulnerability", I came to realize that I simply couldn't let down my walls without help. Even when I want to, I always seem to find another wall beneath the one I've just taken down. I started to wonder, am I just incapable? Is this endeavor that I've chosen to embark on, an impossible feat to accomplish? I felt like the life embodiment of one of those Russian dolls. Then one day, I was sitting in a pew listening to Shawn preach and he said something that was so profound to me, that I think about it almost every day. He said something to the effect of, "Do you trust God enough to believe that you'll be okay no matter the results or the outcome of the risk?"
Even writing it makes me a little emotional. When God asks me to jump, I realized that my usual response is, "Sure! I'll jump if you catch me!" My "yes" to the Lord has always been conditional. It's that belief that I will do as He says but only if I can come out unscathed. What a hilarious thought process when confronted with the fact that every single one of Christ's twelve disciples suffered. This path is not for the faint of heart. It isn't for those who desire to be nothing but comfortable. This path is impossible to walk without growth. I would even go as bold to say if you are not growing in your faith, you are dying. There is no such thing as "arriving" in the Christian faith. We never have all the right answers. Most of the time we don't even know the right questions to ask. So how then do we navigate life?
The answer is simple, but the action is not. We must rely entirely on God. That means if He says jump, we don't ask what's at the bottom. If we don't jump, we just stand on the edge of that cliff forever wondering what would have happened if we had just trusted and took the leap? Risk is a part of this faith. Growth is inevitable if you just say "yes".
"A Leap of Faith" isn't just a cliche. It's a command. It's a lifestyle.
What do you need to say "yes" to today? Will you jump or will you wonder?
We live in a world of you can do it. We are told this all of the time; in magazines, on the TV, Face Book, and the radio. Heck! I say this all of time, I preach on it more than not, and I fully believe it to a certain extent! Yes, I believe we can do more than we realize, I believe we can grow, and I believe we can be better than we were yesterday. However, I do not believe that I can do anything without being fully restored to my full potential, and it's here that I stop believing in the "I can" and start struggling with the"God can". I struggle with the fact that I can't do something that directly helps me better myself, because I can't restore myself. I have a real struggle with relying on anything that can help me, because I struggle with control. This comes from my "not enough" mentality, which pushes to be "more than enough". This creates a very unnatural, and unhealthy dance with myself! As I continue to research and grow as I engage in the AA 12 steps, I'm realizing everything centers around step one: "I admit that I am powerless over my brokenness and my life has become unmanageable". It makes complete sense to me that If I struggle with Step one, how could I ever come to embrace step two: "To rely on a greater power source, which can restore me". Last month the church explored Step one with the focus on being Vulnerable! As we begin February, I'm still asking myself: what are the roads block to actually "Letting Go?" Brene Brown describes Vulnerability as uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure. We are taught that doing those things will result in some form of assault upon us (Mental and/or physical). So, it makes sense why we wouldn't be vulnerable, unless we are missing a bigger picture. If I truly admit that I'm powerless and I can't manage my life, then I would have to seek out another power source that could help me manage, but that would also mean that I can't be in control. Again, my research points to this as being the main cause of addiction! I happen to believe that we are all addicts of something. I need to truly come into the realization that if I want to be restored then I can't be in control of that. Step one: take a risk, and step into understanding that my attempts to control my life have become one addictive measure after another. This has created a false sense of self and has fed my ego and fooled me into believing that "I can". Stepping boldly into step one leaves me open to an unlimited power source that happens in step 2. It's in Step two that "I can" becomes "God can", and this takes the weight off of me to allow me an opportunity to grow and be better than I was yesterday. True change happens when we let go of the person we use to be, and boldly seek out the person we are supposed to be. Join us this month as we explore Step Two: "Come to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore"!!!

Living in the climate that we do exposes us to some pretty extreme heat, and a summer season that lasts far beyond the "official" start of fall, unlike other parts of the country. Because of how much we rely on our cooling systems, professional air conditioning installation is essential.
The last thing you want to happen as we progress into consistently warm days is to find that your AC isn't capable of providing you with the sort of cooling effectiveness and efficiency that you need and deserve. But how do you determine your AC installation is done correctly to provide you with that efficiency?

MLA Format allows you to format and present the paper in a specific format, if the instructor has advised submitting the research paper in MLA format, then the student must have to follow some specific guidelines. It involves the setting of a document, page header, title block, citations, and indenting, etc. Let us explore in detail how MLA style helps to craft a perfect research paper in a particular style.
Formatting in MLA Style
1. The default word processor is MS word mostly used to craft a research paper. Word has its default settings like line height, margins, and paragraph spacing, etc., for MLA style, you need 1-inch margin and a double space 2 line height. No extra space is required after the title.
2. The typeface required is Times New Roman with 12 font size. Select the appropriate font-size from the MS word and typeface. No extra space is needed after paragraphs.
3. The Page Header is used at the top of every page; the purpose of Page Header Function in MS Word is to add the "last name and page number" at the top right corner of every page in your MLA document. Insert "Page Numbers" in the top menu and click "just to the left" to insert the page number on the left side.
4. MLA document is different from APA or AMA document; it does not require a separate title page including the student name, teacher's name and the name of the institution, etc. Just type your name in the upper left corner followed by the instructor name, date and the course name.
5. In the next line, center aligns the text and add a suitable title for your essay or research paper.
6. Citing the sources is the sign of credibility of your academic document. The in-text citations provide proper evidence to the readers about the use of credible sources. The in-text citations appear in the body of your paper and the "Work Cited" page is below the research essay.
7. Increase the indent from the left before starting the new paragraph in the MLA format.
8. Do not put any comma between the page number and the last name of an author.
9. A research paper is never complete until yo finish it with a full cited bibliography on the last page of the paper. This part can be tricky for some writers; you can insert "page break" in MS Word and start the bibliography formatted in MLA style. No other special formatting is required, and there are online tools available for citing the references in MLA format without manual intervention.
10. Sort the entries in bibliography alphabetically to make them appear professionally. Sorting them by the last name of the author is a good practice. If the paper is written by an organization like a non-profit organization or a government agency, then sorting the organizations must be arranged in alphabetic order.

"A U.S. installed fascist regime usurped power, ending democracy in the country as long as they're in charge," Stephen Lendman said in an interview with the Balkans Post.
Following is the full transcript of the interview:
BP: Bolivia's first indigenous leader, Evo Morales, was forced to resign in November in what he said was a U.S.-backed coup d'état against his administrator. How would you analyze the United States' role in this incident?
Stephen Lendman: Indeed it was a coup orchestrated by the CIA. Key is Bolivian military and police officials were bribed to betray Evo Morales. Without their support, no coup was possible. A U.S. installed fascist regime usurped power, ending democracy in the country as long as they're in charge.
BP: What goals was Washington pursuing through the coup?
Stephen Lendman: U.S. goals were twofold - gaining another client state and control over Bolivian resources, mainly its highly valued lithium.
BP: Bolivia's new interim government, which gained power following the coup, has announced plans to renew ties with Israel. What's your take on this development?
Stephen Lendman: All nations allied with the U.S. support Israel. Otherwise they wouldn't be U.S. allies. Even Arab states have good relations though in most cases they do it quietly. One or more key Saudi officials visited Israel, the same likely true for other Arab countries.
BP: In your recent articles on the U.S.-orchestrated coup in Bolivia you mentioned William Blum. Given that December 9 is the first anniversary of Mr. Blum's demise, could you elaborate his legacy, especially his work on the CIA?
Stephen Lendman: I knew Blum. His writings that documented CIA coup attempts, successful and unsuccessful, since WW II influenced me greatly.
I highly recommend reading his books Rogue State and Killing Hope. It shows an important part of U.S. dirty business most Americans know little or nothing about.
The U.S. is a fantasy democracy, never the real thing. Wherever real democracies exist like in Venezuela, Republicans and undemocratic Dems want them replaced by fascist tyranny, what happened in Bolivia.

Rockfeller Vows More Coordinated DTV Transition Effort
Look for the Senate Commerce Committee to try to come up with a more coordinated action plan for the DTV transition.
That was the message from Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-W.VA), who says the nation won't be ready for the transition without a lot more help from government and industry. Rockefeller will have a larger platform for his concerns since he will become the committee's chairman when the new Congress convenes in January.
"I firmly believe that our nation is not ready to make this transition without substantially more involvement from every level of government, the entire communications industry, and willing community organizations across America," he said Thursday. "At present, most experts agree that the transition will unleash a massive amount of consumer confusion."
In a statement on Senate passage of his bill to extend analog broadcasts--for emergency and DTV transition info only--for 30 days past the Feb. 17 DTV transition date, Rockefeller said the bill was "no silver bullet," then added: "Over the next few months, I will work with my colleagues on a more comprehensive plan of action to make sure millions of Americans receive the support and assistance they need to make this transition."
Rockfeller said he was not focusing on fixing blame for how the transition had been run so far, but he wasn't reticent on what he thought of it. "There is no question the transition to DTV could have and should have been far better managed and far better planned," he said in a statement entered into the Congressional Record.
Below is his full statement:
"I rise today to discuss a very important change that is set to occur all across America on February 17, 2009: the final switch from analog to digital broadcast television called the DTV, or Digital TV, transition.
"In many respects this is not a new issue. The wheels have been in motion on this change since 2005 – spurred by the horrible tragedy of September 11th which starkly highlighted our desperate need for a national, interoperable, communications network. The transition to digital TV will free up spectrum for public safety use so the national emergency communications network America needs can be put in place.
"But there have been serious concerns about our readiness to make the shift to digital TV and several of my colleagues and I have been raising red flags about this for many years now. Not because we believe the change is a mistake, but because we believe that not enough has been done to prepare, to educate, and to help American consumers so that the screens on their television sets do not go black 88 days from now.
"What is the change from analog to digital broadcast? Over-the-air broadcasters will send their signal over digital spectrum, not the analog spectrum that is currently used. The change won't affect consumers with cable or satellite TV – or those who have a converter box for their older analog TV set. And the switch to digital will improve the definition and clarity of the TV picture.
"Why are we making this change? Primarily to modernize our airwaves and use the more efficient digital spectrum for a smarter use of our limited spectrum resources for the public good. The change will, again, free up critically needed spectrum so that we can move toward the nationally interoperable public safety communications network we need. It will also allow over-the-air broadcasters to offer new and innovative programming and provide new spectrum for wireless technologies.
"The DTV Act was enacted as part of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. It directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to require all full-power television stations to cease analog broadcasting following February 17, 2009. That day is 88 days from now. What this means – and let me be very clear – is that any consumer with traditional analog televisions (regular TV sets that use an antenna to get a signal) will not be able to watch free, over-the-air television without taking one of three steps to adapt their TV to receive a digital signal. The most common and least expensive way that consumers can adapt their TV will be to buy a digital-to-analog converter box to hook up to their analog television set. While seemingly a highly technical issue to some, this is no small matter to the 10 million-13 million Americans who might well lose their TV signal on February 18th of next year.
"I firmly believe that our nation is not ready to make this transition without substantially more involvement from every level of government, the entire communications industry, and willing community organizations across America. At present, most experts agree that the transition will unleash a massive amount of consumer confusion. And when people are cut off from their televisions, it is not just a matter of convenience; it is a matter of public safety. We simply cannot stand by and let people lose access to emergency alerts and public safety communications.
"I am especially concerned because this transition is going to hit our most vulnerable citizens – the poor, the elderly, the disabled, and those with language barriers – the hardest. We risk leaving those who are most reliant on over-the-air broadcast television for their contact with the outside world literally in the dark. These consumers are also disproportionately rural.
"In 2005, the outgoing Administration and its proponents decided to leave almost all of the implementation of the transition to the private sector – broadcasters, cable and satellite companies, and consumer electronics retailers. While there are claims that hundreds of millions of private sector dollars have been spent making Americans aware of the DTV transition, it seems that most Americans have no idea what it really is even if they have heard of it. New surveys suggest more consumers are growing aware of the transition, but consumers overall remain confused about what steps they need to take to prepare. Consumer Reports magazine has found that 63 percent of Americans have major misconceptions about what steps they need to take to prepare.
"The recent DTV transition test market of Wilmington, North Carolina demonstrated that even with extraordinary levels of outreach, some still did not know anything about the DTV transition. I would note that Wilmington received far more attention than any market in West Virginia is likely to receive, or any other part of the country for that matter."
"Even in the test market, several thousand people called into the FCC for assistance – they could not set up their converter box, they could not receive certain digital signals, or their antennae needed adjustment -- just to name a few of the problems. Consumers, especially the elderly and those with limited English proficiency, are going to need help in managing the transition. On February 18, 2009, those thousands of calls will become millions.
"There is no question the transition to DTV could have and should have been far better managed and far better planned. But at this point, we must focus on fixing it not laying blame.
"Last night, I asked unanimous consent for the Senate to take up S. 3663, the Short-Term Analog Flash and Emergency Readiness Act, as amended. This piece of legislation will help make sure those consumers who fail to make the DTV transition by February 17, 2009 are not left without access to emergency information. This bill will also allow those consumers to understand what steps they need to take in order to restore their television signals by allowing an analog signal to continue to be broadcast in each regional market for an additional thirty days past February 17th.
"Mr. President, let me be clear -- this bill is far from a silver bullet that will fix all the problems associated with the transition.
"I can assure my colleagues that the new Democratic leadership in Congress and the White House are committed to protecting the American consumer. Over the next few months, I will work with my colleagues on a more comprehensive plan of action to make sure millions of Americans receive the support and assistance they need to make this transition."

2. Dried Veggies ~ such as Kale Chips, carrot chips, green beans,
3. Crispy Nuts and Seeds ~ Soaking and drying nuts and seeds reduces phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors which can prevent absorption of nutrients. Many nuts soaked for 12-24 hours until nice and crispy. Soaking them until you see a sprout growing increases the nutritional value and the seeds and nuts oven taste better. Ex. Sprouted Sunflower seeds, Walnuts, sprouted Almonds, etc.
4. Sprouted Flour ~ Make you very own Sprouted flour by sprouting grain kernels and drying them at a low temperature prior to be ground into flour.
5. Jerky/South African Biltong ~ Slice the meat to your liking and place on trays. If using ground meat, I recommend using non-stick sheets or unbleached parchment paper. You can also make jerky out of tofu and
even Kombucha SCOBYs!
6. Fruit Leather ~ I recommend using some sort of non-stick sheet to make
re-moving the fruit leather easier. Simply spread purreed fruit onto sheets on the dehydrator tray.
7. Granola ~ Make yummy soaked then sprouted granola with your
dehydrator. You can use any seed or nut like almonds, walnuts, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, Recipe to come.
8. Tempeh ~ Tempeh is a traditional Indonesian food made from fermented soybeans which binds the soy beans into a cake like form. It is a good source of protein, fiber and vitamins.
9. Natto ~ Natto is a traditional Japanese food made from fermented
soybeans. It is a rich source of protein, K2 and beneficial bacteria. It must be fermented at 100 degrees F for 22-24 hours.
10. Pemmican ~ Pemmican is a traditional food often made by Native Americans. It normally consists of ground meat, animal fat (such as tallow), dried fruit and salt.
**Bonus Use! You can use a Dehydrator to turn Placentas into Pills by dehydrating sliced up pieces and then grinding. For more info on Placenta Encapsulation click here.

The law enforcement apparatus of today's Ethiopia are backward using outdated methods to combat crimes puting them at a disadvantage because the law enforcement agencies are unable to cope up with the modern organized criminals in Ethiopia.
Ethiopia is one of the two or three countries in the world where youth unemployment accounts for more than 75% of the total unemployed people. Noone wants to hire inexperienced youth which does not prove to have a work ethics, even with Doctorate Degrees the youth are having problems to find jobs because employers know the youth are having a job for the first time and cannot be relied upon to show up to work on time then work all hours as directed. This attitude is making the criminal gangs more sophisticated and the law enforcement too far behind unable to catch up.

Based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, this delightful panto follows the misadventures of clothes-obsessed Emperor Fancypants, and his desire to own the world's most wonderful suit.
He is conned into purchasing an invisible suit by Nip and Tuck, and nobody will tell him the truth for fear of being seen as idiots and losing their jobs. The Emperor's over-spending means that the kingdom is facing bankruptcy, and in order to try and save it, the Chancellor decides that Prince Jack needs to marry one of the two rich heiresses, Valium Crock-Pot or Prozac Pampers, who have been invited to vie for his affection.
He is not interested in them, but in a poor orphan dressmaker called Taffeta instead. With the help of Fairy Fabric, Taffeta and Jack are eventually united, and the Heiresses also get what they most desire, the title of Princess.
The Emperor's eyes are finally opened by an innocent child and Nip and Tuck are brought to boot as they attempt to flee with the Emperor's gold.

Does the dryer kill fleas? We often get that question because many of our flea removal tips involve washing clothes and beddings. So right now, we're going to head into the details of how dryers can become your best friend when dealing with these itchy and pesky insects.
Your trusty dryer can get rid of fleas fast, as well as sanitize your beddings and clothes.
Let A Pro Handle It.
Get a no obligation quote from a pest control pro near you:
Your Dryer can Kill Fleas
Fleas are very sensitive. When it's too cold, they slowly freeze, and when it's too hot, they die instantly. Needless to say, they need the right temperatures to thrive. Specifically, their numbers only grow when their environment stays between 21°C and 30 °C (70 °F and 85 °F). This is where your humble dryer comes in. It's actually an effective flea killer, and it's part of your first arsenal against flea control since it's readily available in your house.
According to Flea Science, not only does the dryer kill fleas with heat, there are several other things that prevent any flea from surviving inside it. If a flea does miraculously live through drowning and being poisoned with detergent and bleach in the washer, the dryer will finish it off. The conditions inside the machine causes severe dehydration for any insect, and the rough tumbling causes lethal physical damage.
How to LaunderFlea-Infested Items
All types of fleas can't survive the laundering process. That's why it's always recommended that you wash your personal items as soon as you notice the first signs of fleas.
Here's how you should wash your clothes, beddings and other items to get rid of fleas.
- Wash straight for 10 minutes. Generally, Flea Science suggests to wash your clothes and beddings for a straight 10 minutes at 140°F. The longer the wash time, the better. Just be careful with how delicate your items are.
- Repeat the wash at least 2-3 times. For your beddings and your pet's bed, repeat the cycle 2 to 3 times before dumping them into the dryer. These items need the most thorough cleaning because they have flea eggs, larvae and the nearly indestructible pupas in them.
- Apply bleach to your whites. If you can apply bleach, do it. Direct contact with bleach kills insects. Soak your clothes or beddings with the substance for several hours before washing them.
- Dry using the highest possible heat setting. Only use the highest possible setting for drying your items. You want to kill the remaining survivors with heat.
- Launder flea-infested items weekly. Fleas reproduce at an amazing rate, so you should wash your personal items and your dog's/ cat's bed every week.
- Spraying doesn't work as much as washing. If you want to get rid all traces of flea eggs and larvae, you should launder instead of just spraying flea treatments.
If you have fleas on your clothes, here's more info you should definitely check out.
And as for the rest of the details, we hope we've already supplied enough to help you answer the question, does the dryer kill fleas? Or at least, enough to get you started on a long laundry job to exterminate fleas.
