"We're just negotiating a new deal with Virgin at the moment [for] the new album," bassist John Hassall recently told NME. "So it's all looking good." Carl Barat added: "We've not really stopped writing. [We've got] bags of music".

How To Choose A Pressure Pool Cleaner – Buying Guide
There are a lot of different features to pressure side pool vacuum designs and they can all affect how well a pressure pool cleaner will work with your specific pool design. It is important to spend the time to find the best pressure side pool cleaner for your needs.
A difference in features can affect if you can even use a specific design with your pool as well of the capabilities of the actual device. It can be costly and a waste of time to invest in the wrong pool pressure cleaner. You can also check pressure pool cleaner reviews to see how well a design has worked for other users.
In our buying guide, we walk you through all the different features and answer any questions you have so that you can be fully informed before making a purchase.
High-Pressure vs. Low-Pressure
The main difference between high-pressure and low-pressure pool cleaners is a pump. High-pressure pool cleaners are too strong to share a pump and will need to have their own pump, which operates the device and its suction. These will tend to function better and for longer time periods. They also tend to be more accurate.
Low-pressure pool cleaners can be hooked up to the pool pump, which can ultimately save money by eliminating the need for two different pumps. However, low-pressure pool cleaners can require extra additions like a timer and additional labor. They can be more work than a high-pressure cleaner.
Above Ground vs. Inground Pool Cleaner
Most pressure side pool vacuum designs can be used on either an above ground or inground pool. However, you should be cautious and ultimately refer to the provided manufacturer's information for what pools the device is appropriate to be used in.
The biggest problem is that swimming pool pressure cleaner designs often need multiple ports to connect to filter and pumps. An above ground design may not have everything needed to provide for the pool pressure cleaners.
Be certain, before you make a purchase, that your pressure side automatic pool cleaner is suitable for the less sturdy walls of an above ground pool. Most pool pressure cleaners cannot be used on both above ground pools and inground pools.
The power of the pressure side pool vacuum will come from a pump. Whether the pump is separately purchased and attached or part of the pool pump, a pump is needed. There is no electricity needed, as it pulls all the power it needs from a pump.
There are two pumps used in pool pressure clears. Firstly, a low-pressure cleaner can use the existing pool pumps. They don't draw too much power to need an entirely separate pump.
A high-pressure pool pump is the opposite. These pumps will use too much power and instead need their own pump to be purchased separately. You can look at the brand of your swimming pool pressure cleaner and see if they also have a separate pump available for purchase. However, you may also find a separate pump that is compatible with your pressure side pool vacuum design.
If you need a booster pump, which provides extra power to your swimming pool pressure cleaner, you should consider having professional installation. These extra pumps are often external and used with high-pressure cleaners.
Compatibility is extremely important between your pool pressure cleaner and your swimming pool. You want to ensure that the pressure side pool vacuum will worth with your pool design, whether it is an above ground or inground pool.
A pressure side automatic pool cleaner that has great compatibility with your pool will do a better job of cleaning and managing your pool water.
Size of the Pool
While there aren't different sizes of pool pressure cleaners, the size of the pool is important. You probably don't want to invest in a top rated pressure side pool cleaner if you just have a small inflatable kiddie pool. It's a lot of work and money to use a pressure cleaner on such a small pool.
You will likely be using pool pressure cleaners on larger sized pools. This isn't a problem and the pressure cleaner should excel at keeping your water clear. The only difference is that the larger the pool, the more time you may need to keep the pressure cleaner in the water.
Smaller pools will be cleaned faster, whereas larger pools will need more time for the vacuum to drive around and remove any debris.
Ease of Use
Pool pressure cleaners should be easy to use. The hardest part will likely be the setup, first use, and learning how to use your pressure cleaner. Luckily, there should be instructions for every step of the process included with your purchase.
Likely, you will have to spend the time to ensure you have properly hooked the pool pressure cleaner up to the different sources: pump and filter. You will also have to ensure that you have every accessory needed or suggested to ensure your pool cleaner runs smoothly.
This will likely be the trickiest part if you've never used pool pressure cleaners before. A swimming pool pressure cleaner should only have to be hooked up to a pump for power, but there are designs that also have their own small filters attached.
To ensure you can properly install your swimming pool pressure cleaner, you should be certain that your design can be used with your pool. Look for above ground and inground specific designs.
The best way to install your swimming pool pressure cleaner is to follow the provided instructions. This will ensure you make no mistakes and it will make it easier for you to learn how to properly use your pressure side pool vacuum every time.
Just like your pool, it is important to maintain your swimming pool pressure cleaner too. If you have experience with pool pressure cleaners, you will likely have learned the maintenance process. However, if you are new to the devices, you may want to find one that require minimal care and maintenance.
There should also always be maintenance instructions provided with your purchase.
Q: Why choose a pressure pool cleaner?
Pool pressure cleaners make it easy to maintain clean water in your pool. You can easily learn how to maintain an above ground or inground pool, but a pool pressure cleaner can do some of the hard work for you.
Pool pressure cleaners will move and vacuum up any debris in your pool. This will remove sand from your pool, leaves, dirt, and any other small objects.
Instead of having to use pool skimmers and learn what they are used for, you can use a swimming pool pressure cleaner. While you continue to relax, a pool pressure cleaner will do all the work for you.
Q: How does a pressure pool cleaner work?
Pressure pool cleaners use the pressure of the water to remove dirt and debris. Dirt can be sucked into a filter that is directly attached to the pool pressure cleaner or into the main pool filter. Pressure side automatic pool cleaners are great because they often have a filter attachment, which will catch large objects like leaves.
Depending on the design, they will use the pool pump or require a pump be purchased separately for power. Booster pumps will ensure that your pool cleaner is working at its best and is more effective.
Q: How to clean a pressure pool cleaner?
The only part that should be really cleaned on a pressure pool cleaner is the filter, if there is one attached to the body of the device. These filters will often need to be emptied and rinsed. A full filter won't work effectively, and you want to ensure it doesn't get too caught up in debris.
For full instructions, check for any provided user's manuals. There should always be cleaning instructions provided that will tell you the best way to clean and care for your pool cleaner, to ensure that it stays in tip top shape and is long lasting.
Globo Surf Overview
Basic pool chemistry is important, but pool maintenance is a boring chore. Not to mention, it makes you sweat out in the hot sun as you try to catch any floating debris in a net. Instead of spending your time working, you can spend your time relaxing and invest in a top rated pressure side pool cleaner.
A pressure pool cleaner will make owing and maintaining a pool easy and fun. Debris won't get in your way while you swim, and the cleaner can continue to work while you are away. If you know exactly what you need, you can save time and money by investing in the best pool cleaner.

Saturday, cystitis we met Owen, epidemic Jess and Josh at the Allentown Train Meet Associates First Frost Train Meet. We to an ATMA event with Scottycakes (see his photos), gonorrhea but he couldn't go this time. Something about walking a friend's dog at 3pm. Yeah… sure! 😉
We managed to have a good time, anyway. It's a big show, at 50,000 square feet in two large rooms at the Allentown Fairgrounds. Dozens of vendors; plenty of variety.
I was specifically looking for parts for an American Flyer 19B 300 Watt transformer my father found at his local
Town Dump Recycling Center for free. It works fine, but is missing a couple of colored light bulb covers. (Circled in white in the pic on the left.) I found the transformer itself for sale for $75 and got to see exactly what's missing. I then found a guy selling reproduction parts, including the ones I need. Score!
Craftyangie was looking for unpainted plastic O scale people for the geeky little train setup we do at Christmas, and model trees. She didn't find the people, but found the trees, from a vendor who remembered us from last time. One out of two isn't bad at one of these events.
The kicker to all of this is, we actually won a door prize this year! Each admission ticket has a number on it. I was walking alone at one point and they called a number one less than my own. I figured it was 50-50 whether Craftyangie's ticket was one lower or one higher than mine. And in fact, her ticket was the winner! Pretty cool. So we won a Lionel rail car from one of the vendors, Pete Costa (who doesn't seem to have any kind of internet presence, or I'd link to him here). It's a flat car with a Hard Rock Cafe sign on it. *shrug* Honestly, I wouldn't buy one myself, but it was a pretty cool thing to win. We found Pete Costa and thanked him.
Of course the Allentown Fairground also contain the Allentown Farmer's Market. It's a 100% for real (not a tourist trap) Farmer's Market, and I love going there. Here's a pic we took while there…
A good time!

When it comes to ranking your website on search engines, this is something that you probably think about a lot. You want to make sure that people can actually see your site whenever they are searching on the Internet. However, you might not actually be sure how to make this happen for your site. The good news is that we are here to help! Keep reading down below and you're going to find the top things that you need to know in order to rank your website higher on search engines.
- Make Sure to Publish Relevant Content
Quality content is one of the best things that you can do for your search engine rankings. Google and other search engines are going to link your site higher when their crawlers see that you have relevant content that is using the right keywords. If you don't have high-quality content on your site, Google and other search engines are not going to see your site as one that they should link as high as other authority sites. So, your first step in getting indexed highly on search engines is to just do what you do best – create high quality content!
- Update Your Content on A Regular Basis
You should be sure that you are updating your content on a regular basis. Your viewers want to read content that is up to date. The same goes for search engines that are looking for sites to index. Make sure that you go through your content and ensure that all links are working and that the photos are loading properly. When you do this, your site is going to be ranked much more highly than it would be otherwise.
- Metadata
When it comes to your site and SEO, you might not be so aware of what metadata is. Metadata is basically the information about your site that appears on search engines. You want to make sure that you are using the space between your <head> tags to write title, description, and keyword metadata.
- Be Sure Your Site Is Link-Worthy
One of the most important things that you can do to get your site indexed more highly on search engines is to get linked in other articles on other sites. This is going to show Google's crawlers that you are an authority site that can be trusted because you have been trusted by other authority sites. Make sure to speak with other sites about guest blogging on their site or just getting your link thrown in there.
- Use Alt Tags
When you are putting images or video content into your articles, then you want to make sure to make use of alt tags. These are basically descriptions of the images and videos that will be used in keyword searches on search engines. This increases your chance of getting ranked highly by Google or other search engines.
- Link to Other Authority Sites
Whenever you are writing content for your site, makes sure that you are including a fair amount of links to other authority sites. When you do this, you are going to be telling Google that you have links to these sites. In turn, this will make Google's crawlers more likely to trust and index your site highly.
- Ensure Your Site Is Optimized for Mobile
Of course, the last thing that you need to think about is whether or not your site is optimized for mobile viewing. In recent years, search engines have become more focused on only promoting those sites that are optimized for mobile. That's because about half of all searches are now happening on mobile phones and tablets.
Each of these points are crucial for you to consider when you are wanting to get your site ranked highly on the wide web. Keep them in mind and you'll be good to go!

Eyebag Removal (Blepharoplasty)
Surgery to the eyelids in men is subtly different from that in women. Certainly blepharoplasty surgery aims to offer a more youthful look to the eyes by removing excess skin and addressing pockets of fat but the aesthetic goals of surgery will be different.
The anatomy of the eyelids is understandably complex. Skin, muscle, the fat pockets below the muscle, the eye itself, and the bony eye socket are very intimately associated with each other must be very carefully analysed in order to provide a plan for surgery.
Differences exist between the male and the female eye and in the techniques needed to address them. The position of the brow and the technique of brow lifting is a good example. In men the brow should lie horizontal at the level of the bony prominence. In women, there will bee a slight arching of the brow laterally. The skin thickness is greater in men. Furthermore, whereas in women, one can consider elevation of the brow using endoscopic techniques, in men the potential for male pattern baldness limits use of this procedure.
Eyelid surgery is performed under general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia. If you are having a general then you won't be able to eat or drink for about six hours before the operation.
Detailed instructions will be provided by the hospital on when to arrive at the hospital. Before surgery you will meet your surgeon and your anaesthetist (with general anaesthetics). Your surgeon will reaffirm with you the surgical plan and your anaesthetist will discuss with you your post operative pain relief.
The procedure usually takes around 1-2 hours and depending on the time of the operation and overnight stay.
In terms of follow up, the following guidelines are generalised and I will often vary these to match your individual needs.
In general; All of the stitches are small and removed in four to seven days. You can return to work in as little as one to two days and to some physical exercise within the first week.
Frequently asked questions
How can I help prepare for surgery?
Stop smoking.Do not take aspirin, Ibuprofen or anti-inflammatory medication in the weeks leading up to your surgery. This also applies to any 'over the counter' medicines such as nutritional supplements. These can affect the body's healing process and may interact with any medication given to you during or after surgery. Your surgeon will give you instructions regarding this.
When will I be able to return to exercise?
The biggest risk is a post operative bleed following the procedure, however this usually occurs within the first week. It is better to wait 2 weeks before excercising.

On Wednesday, June 29, 2016, Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez, Commissioner Xavier L. Suarez, District 7, Miami-Dade County's Department of Transportation and Public Works and Parks, Recreation & Open Spaces will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony to commemorate the completion of roadway and bike lane improvements on Crandon Boulevard.
The project improved the surface conditions of the road and enhanced Crandon Boulevard's existing bicycle lane. . The project consisted of milling, resurfacing, new signage, pavement markings and green paint to delineate the bike lane.
Cyclists riding along Crandon Boulevard will immediately notice the bike lane improvements. The visual and auditory enhancements will improve cyclists' safety. The vibratory striping will also alert drivers when they cross into the bike lane, and the diagonal striped buffer zone creates a separation between motorists and cyclists.
"This is an important step forward in addressing what has historically been a dangerous roadway for cyclists," said Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez. "These important enhancements to Crandon Boulevard will allow residents and visitors to more safely enjoy one of Miami-Dade County's most popular recreational destinations, and we will continue to invest in transportation solutions like cyclist- and pedestrian-friendly roadways that give our community more options for getting from point A to B, while alleviating traffic congestion in Miami-Dade."
Other improvements include solar-powered, internally illuminated pavement markings, which delineates the traffic/bike lane separation.
The public is invited to get on their bike and experience the bike lane improvements as they make their way to the ceremony.

How to become more assertive
We've all had interactions with people that end with us either wondering why we agreed to an unfair request or feeling regretful about reacting badly.
If you're often left feeling powerless, frustrated or unable to state your views, you could try working on your assertiveness. This skill can help to improve your self-esteem and reduce stress levels and resentful feelings, as you'll feel more in control. It can also help to create more positive relationships with other people.
What is assertiveness?
Assertiveness is the ability to make your views and needs clear, whilst also respecting the opinions and rights of others. It treads a line between aggressiveness – which means focusing on 'winning', no matter the cost – and passiveness, which means going along with what others want.
Assertive people remain polite, calm and controlled, whilst remaining direct and honest with others. If something bothers them, then they speak up. If they disagree with an opinion, they'll discuss it.
They make their views clear, but remain open to compromise. Most importantly, if they ask for something and are told "no", they don't get angry or upset.
Verbal and non-verbal features of assertive communication
Practice the features of assertiveness and have a think about whether or not you use any of them in your day-to-day communication.
- Firm, relaxed voice
- Speaking clearly with no hesitations
- Appropriate volume for the situation
- Willing to co-operate with others and seek their opinions.
- Direct eye contact
- Listening to the other person
- Straight, open posture (no crossed arms!)
- Relaxed gestures
- Clear emotional expression (e.g. smiling when pleased).
Use empathy
Try to take a step back and see things from the other person's point of view.
If you're having a discussion and they disagree with you, let them know you understand or ask them to explain their viewpoint.
Practice saying "no"
If someone asks you to do something you're not comfortable with, it's ok to say "no". If you're unsure, say you need time to think about their request.
Have a think about your limits and stick to them. Remind yourself that you can't please everyone. Don't be afraid to suggest a compromise and work with the other person to come up with a solution.
Compliments and complaints
Accept compliments graciously and thank those who give them to you.
If you receive negative feedback or criticism from someone, then accept it positively. Ask for clarification if you don't understand where they're coming from. It's ok to say you don't agree, but try not to get defensive or angry. No-one's perfect, so use constructive criticism as a way of learning and improving.
Stick to a script
If you're unsure how to put your viewpoint across there's a handy, basic script template that you can revert to.
- State how you see the situation/problem
- Describe how it makes you feel
- Tell the other person what you need
- Describe the positive outcome if your needs are fulfilled.
For example:
"The house is getting dirty, which is making me feel stressed. I'd like us to spend an hour or so cleaning together to sort it out. Then it'll be a nicer space for both of us to spend time in."
Start small
Starting to voice opinions if you're used to sitting back and putting other peoples' choices first can be hard. Start with something small and build your confidence from there. For example, if you usually say "I don't mind" when a friend asks you where you'd like to go, try making a suggestion.
Make an effort to use "I" instead of distancing yourself from your opinion. So, rather than saying "there's a good film on", say something like "I'd really like to see a film".
We also have a blog on boosting your confidence to help you get started.
Learn to let go
Acknowledge that you have no control over how other people think or behave. The only person whose reactions you can control is you.
This doesn't mean you should ignore other peoples' feelings or situations. Making offensive comments or forcing someone to do something isn't assertiveness – it's bullying. However, you shouldn't worry so much that you never voice your own opinion.
Similarly, you must be prepared for people to disagree with you – that's the risk you run when you make your thoughts clear. Don't be offended if they do. Just remind yourself that no-one's the same and there're as entitled to an opinion as you are.
Dealing with aggression
At some point everyone comes across someone being aggressive or looking for a fight, whether they're an angry customer or a partner who's had a bad day.
Take deep breaths, stay calm and answer each of their responses politely and reasonably. Try not to get angry and shout back.
Find any nugget of truth in their statements and acknowledge it, but avoid being defensive or agreeing to any demands they may make. By not rising to an argument the confrontation will peter out and you'll be able to have a reasonable discussion.
Be patient
Becoming assertive takes time. You'll have good days and not-so-good days. Just focus on your successes and how they made you feel. One day, it'll become second nature.

Augmented reality is being present for many years. Through progress in technology smaller augmented reality glasses became possible. These new technologies allow many new ways of interaction and usage of augmented reality. This thesis is about the Microsoft HoloLens and its possiblities for consumers and industry. In the context of this thesis a new interactive and augmented application to measure the possiblities and limitations of the Microsoft HoloLens has been developed. The scene is an assembly szenario with a step by step instruction of building with Lego bricks. The evaluation showed that the HoloLens can already be used to assist in assembling scenarios and offers some advantages over other methods, although the glasses still have some flaws.
This thesis tests several methods and measures in pathtracing for selecting either the Line Space or the Bounding Volume Hierarchy data structure to make use of the advantages of both. The structures are defined locally around each object and each Line Space shaft contains one candidate ID each. All implementation is done as a C++ and OpenGL framework with compute shaders handling the pathtracing and Line Space generation. The measures include the probability distribution, the effect dependency, as well as a distance threshold and are tested against several different scenes. In most situations, the results show a noticeable increase in performance, partly only with minor visual differences, with the probability measure producing the highest quality images for a given performance. The fundamental problems of the Line Space concering the high memory consumption and a long generation time compared to the BVH still persist, despite the object local structure, a minimal amount of data per shaft and the compute shader implementation.
Eine empirische Studie über die Korrelation zwischen Sicherheitsschwachstellen und Qualitätseigenschaften von Software-Designs (2017)
Since software influences nearly every aspect of everyday life, the security of software systems is more important than ever before. The evaluation of the security of a software system still poses a significant challenge in practice, mostly due to the lack of metrics, which can map the security properties of source code onto numeric values. It is a common assumption, that the occurrence of security vulnerabilities and the quality of the software design stand in direct correlation, but there is currently no clear evidence to support this. A proof of an existing correlation could help to optimize the measurements of program security, making it possible to apply quality measurements to evaluate it. For this purpose, this work evaluates fifty open-source android applications, using three security and seven quality metrics. It also considers the correlations between the metrics. The quality metrics range from simple code metrics to high-level metrics such as object-oriented anti-patterns, which together provide a comprehensive picture of the quality. Two visibility metrics, along with a metric that computes the minimal permission request for mobile applications, were selected to illustrate the security. Using the evaluation projects, it was found that there is a clear correlation between most quality metrics. By contrast, no significant correlations were found using the security metrics. This work discusses the correlations and their causes as well as further recommendations based on the findings.
This thesis deals with the exploration of different interaction possibilities for three-dimensional, virtual objects in a real environment. The focus lies especially on interaction possibilities from new AR-technologies. A playful prototype of an application for Microsofts HoloLens will be designed and implemented. The prototype consists of three parts. The first part is the scan-process of the real environment of the user. In the second part the user can augment the real environment with three-dimensional, virtual objects. In the third part the user is supposed to navigate a virtual avatar through the real environment. The interaction possibilities of the HoloLens like Gaze, Gesture and VoiceInput will be evaluated in the following categories menu navigation, positioning of three-dimensional objects in a real environment and controlling an avatar.
This thesis presents two methods for the computation of global illumination. The first is an extension of Reflective Shadow Maps with an additional shadow test in order to handle occlusion. The second method is a novel, bidirectional Light-Injection approach. Rays originating from the light source are traced through the scene and stored inside the shafts of the Linespace datastructure. These shafts are a discretization of the possible spatial directions. The Linespaces are embedded in a Uniform Grid. When retrieving this pre-calculated lightning information no traversal of datastructures and no additional indirection is necessary in the best-case scenario. This reduces computation time and variance compared to Pathtracing. Areas that are mostly lit indirectly and glas profit the most from this. However, the result is only approximative in nature and produces visible artifacts.
This thesis explores different approaches for the acceleration of raytracing calculations on the graphics processing unit (GPU). For that a voxel grid is used and extended by the linespace data structure. The linespace consists of direction based shafts and stores the objects located in those shafts in a candidate list. Different methods for the sorting and traversal of the linespace are presented and evaluated. The shown methods cannot provide a speed up of the frame rate without resulting in a loss of image quality.
Part-of-Speech tagging is the process of assigning words with similar grammatical properties to a part of speech (PoS). In the English language, PoS-tagging algorithms generally reach very high accuracy. This thesis undertakes the task to test against these accuracies in PoS-tagging as a qualitative measure in classification capabilities for a recently developed neural network model, called graph convolutional network (GCN). The novelty proposed in this thesis is to translate a corpus into a graph as a direct input for the GCN. The experiments in this thesis serve as a proof of concept with room for improvements.
Augmented Reality Anwendung für Windows Mixed Reality unter Verwendung der HoloLens zur Vermarktung von Werbeflächen (2017)
This bachelor thesis deals with the development of an application for the Microsoft HoloLens. The application is used for the marketing of advertis- ing spaces that belongs to the company awk AUSSENWERBUNG GmbH. On basis of the development, the question is answered which are the pos- sibilities and limitations of the HoloLens and the Mixed Reality Platform. Problems are also addressed, that come along with the development of an application for such a new technology, like the HoloLens is. Beside the new technologies, some challenges come also from the applications oper- ational locations. Several application examples and presentations suggest, that the HoloLens is primarily designed for indoor usage. Instead the de- veloped application is for outdoor use only. During the development, sev- eral insights can be gained about this new technology. On the one hand it becomes clear, that the HoloLens and also the development environment aren't completely matured yet. On the other hand, that the HoloLens isn't an outdoor device at all. Despite the difficulties during the development, there occur many possibilities that are associated with this new technology.
Langzeitanalyse der Entwicklung der Netzwerkstrukturen auf UniConnect. Methoden der Social Network Analysis im Kontext von Enterprise Collaboration Systems. (2017)
This bachelor thesis examines methods of Social Network Analysis in the context of in-house collaboration platforms and gives an overview of appropriate metrics based on findings in literature. Within this literature analysis advantages in analyzing these enterprise social networks for companies are pointed out. Also possible problems, for example relating to data protection, will be explained. Based on dynamical long-term analysis of the network of UniConnect it was detected, that measures of centrality show the connectedness of an actor. These measures allow drawing conclusions concerning position and function of the employee in the company. Furthermore the complexity of the network can be determined through clique analysis. By viewing at the gradual development of the network, it is possible to identify persons, who are strongly interconnected within a short period of time. These employees have strategic importance relating to knowledge management and the dissemination of information within the company.
This thesis presents the use of a local linespace data structure, which is designed and implemented on the basis of an existing GPU-based raytra- cer with a global linespace data structure. For each scene object, an N-tree is generated whose nodes each have a linespace. This saves informations about existing geometry in its shafts. A shaft represents a volume between two faces on the outside of the node. This allows a faster skipping of em- pty spaces during raytracing. Identical objects can access already calcula- ted linespaces, which can reduce the memory requirement by up to 94.13% and the initialization time of the datastructure by up to 97.15%. Due to the local access possibilities dynamic scenes can be visualized. An increase in quality can also be observed.

Vapers Love Our Raspberry HVG E-Liquid!
A sweet, natural raspberry e-liquid that will definitely take you back to fruit picking in the summer. The boffins at LiQuid HQ certainly got this one spot on, with the perfect combination of VG & PG the vapour production is enormous with a very subtle throat hit. We all know raspberry e-liquid is a vapers favourite and it has been designed to have the perfect viscosity to help prolong the life of one's tank and coil.
Why You Should Choose Euro E-liquid
E-liquid Strengths
We were the first UK e-liquid brand to change the PG/VG ratios in line with Nicotine Strength. We did this because some vapers like a strong throat hit whilst others prefer a lot of vapour with a mild throat hit. Below is a guide to help you to choose the right one for you. Don't forget that PG provides the throat hit and VG provides the vapour.
18mg/ml - 60(PG) / 40(VG) - a good throat hit / a good vapour.
12mg/ml - 50(PG) / 50(VG) - a medium throat hit / an excellent vapour.
6mg/ml - 45(PG) / 55(VG) - a mild throat hit / an excellent vapour.
3mg/ml - 40 (PG) / 60 (VG) - a mild throat hit / a massive vapour.
0mg/ml - 40(PG) / 60(VG) - no throat hit / a huge vapour.

An animal rights campaigner jailed for terrorising people linked to a laboratory has boasted how she has been given "vegan treats" in jail.
Sarah Whitehead has told how she has been provided with special toiletries that have not been tested on animals and given treats from the prison canteen.
Last week Whitehead, who was known by other members of the animal rights group Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (Shac) as Mumsy, was sentenced for leading hate-filled attacks against companies with connections to the Huntingdon Life Sciences animal testing laboratory in Cambridgeshire.
Whitehead, 53, of Thorncroft Road, Littlehampton, who was described by police as a "corrupting influence" on younger members of the group, has already written a letter to her supporters from her cell at HMP Bronzefield in Middlesex.
Whitehead and five younger members of Shac waged a wide-ranging international conspiracy of intimidation against companies that supplied the lab.
The victims were subjected to realistic bomb hoaxes, criminal damage, threats of violence and abusive telephone calls.

Cosmetic Surgery outcomes have been seen to be infectious to many people who witness excellent improvements on faces, breasts and other body parts of friends, colleagues and acquaintances after surgery. They look at themselves in the mirror, feel dissatisfied and wonder if they should go for cosmetic procedures. Yet, fear of surgery and recovery process, inability to take time off and other reasons hold them back from going ahead.
Now with the advent of social media technologies as well as video conferencing and skype usages in professional work, people are able to see themselves at various angles from front, side, up and below and see these various images which mirrors can not project. It is said that most individuals when they look at their own images tend to focus not on the strengths but on the weaknesses of what they see.
As a result people get more dissatisfied with their appearances and start contemplating about taking up cosmetic surgery procedures. They like to do so primarily to improve what they see on the screen and then on the features which may not be visible in the images but can be seen physically.
The cosmetic surgery offers many procedures in the facial area, neck, breasts, hands, arms, waists, buttocks and other body parts.
The facial area itself which attracts most attention, offers surgery options on nose, ears, eyes, cheeks, chins, jaw lines, forehead and facial skin and muscle tightening and others; there are minimally invasive cosmetic procedures which are injectibles such as Botox and Dysport for relaxing wrinkles, Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm or Radiesse as fillers which can be molded and sculpted to treat facial volume loss and to lift and fill the face.
With new scientific developments and techniques, the surgeries have become safer and quicker and the recovery time shorter. The Awake Cosmetic procedures, such as Awake Breast Aug, Awake Tummy Tuck, and Awake Liposuction, offer safer procedures with quicker recovery. Laser assisted techniques are also being widely used, including SmartLipo and Smart CO2 laser resufacing. These offer mild skin tightening technologies without having to go under the knife.
People now feel more comfortable in taking up cosmetic surgeries, possibly because of the increased safety that these new technologies offer. In fact, there has been significant increase in the number of cosmetic procedures in 2011 over 2010 according to the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS). A part of this increase has been fuelled by people's desire to look good on social media technologies.
The success of any cosmetic procedure is primarily judged by its ability to meet the goals set by the patient safely. Whether the images on the electronic screens are motivating people to visit the cosmetic surgeons or not, all reputed and good surgeons go through physical examinations and consultations with the patients to determine the real deficiencies in their appearance and true nature or reason of their dissatisfaction and their expectations. They may also assess the health conditions of the patients through laboratory tests and advise patients on the risks, side effects and costs.
There are also some negative effects on people who are being driven by their screen images to the cosmetic procedures.
According to Dr. Adam Schaffner, a New York City plastic surgeon, the risk of people getting influenced by their own images on daily basis is that "one can become preoccupied with one's appearance in general."
Dianna Chillo, LCSW, of Dr. Michele Winchester-Vega & Associates, in New Windsor says "The need for instant gratification and quick fixes are pandemic, so I am not surprised at the increase in corrective surgery. The real work is building the internal relationship with one's self that is not defined by one's outer appearance and the pressures of how they feel viewed by others."
Yet according to Dr. Schaffner " social media-motivated surgeries will continue to be popular, especially in a tough job market where people need to look their best and most vibrant to remain competitive."
