WASHINGTON — NASA’s largest supercomputer is seventh on the TOP500 list of the world’s most powerful, high-performance computers. The announcement was made at the 26th International Supercomputing Conference in Hamburg, Germany.
Pleiades, located at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif., supports more than 1,000 active users around the country who are advancing our knowledge about the Earth, solar system and the universe. Pleiades is used to meet the computing needs on NASA’s most demanding modeling and simulation projects in aeronautics; Earth and space science; exploration systems and technologies; and future space operations.
“We’re really excited that Pleiades delivered nearly 83 percent of the theoretical peak performance,” said Rupak Biswas, chief of the NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) Division at Ames. “This means our science and engineering users get extremely efficient use of their computinged 14 new SGI(R) Altix(R) ICE 8400 systems so that Pleiades now contains 23,296 Intel(R) Xeon(R) quad- and hex core processors (111,104 cores in 182 racks) that can run at a theoretical peak of approximately 1.32 quadrillion floating point operations, or calculations, per second. It achieved an official sustained rate of 1.09 petaflop per second using the LINPACK benchmark, the industry standard for measuring a system’s floating point computing power.
Pleiades runs on three generations of Intel-based processors with varying memory per core across two generations of InfiniBand(R) technology. The latest hex-core Intel(R) Xeon(R) 5600 (Westmere) and earlier quad-core 5570 (Nehalem) processors run at a speed of 2.93 GHz, while the original Pleiades 5400 (Harpertown) quad-core processors run at 3 GHz.
Since its installation in 2008, scientists have run large-scale jobs on Pleiades to gain insight into Earth’s ocean and climate variability; reduce harmful emissions from aircraft; and design future vehicles for planetary and space exploration. The system also has been critical to supporting debris damage assessment on space shuttle missions and gave managers data about critical decisions to perform repairs and clear the orbiter for safe landing.
The NAS facility continues to feature the world’s largest InfiniBand(R) interconnect network with 11,648 nodes and more than 63 miles of cabling — long enough to reach the “frontier of space” from the surface of Earth. The double data rate, quad data rate and hybrid cables interconnect Pleiades’ nodes with mass data storage systems and the hyperwall-2 visualization system. This allows scientists to concurrently view and analyze their data while their computational jobs run, often leading to the discovery of previously unknown details in their ultra-large datasets.

A former local pastor has been charged following a shooting on Huckleberry Ridge Road in the Hiddenite Community on Thursday, Sept. 22.
Sheriff Chris Bowman told The Times Friday that Alexander County 911 received a call about 4:11 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 22, about a shooting at the residence of Dan Joe Spears, in the Hiddenite area at 788 Huckleberry Ridge Road.
Bowman said officers arrived and found Jason Williams, age 46, suffering from two gunshot wounds. One wound was in the shoulder and one in the chest.
Paramedics transported Williams to Iredell Memorial Hospital, Bowman stated. He was later taken to Carolinas Medical Center by helicopter.
The Sheriff said Williams had been staying at Rev. Spears’ residence and the incident was due to a domestic dispute.
Spears, age 73, is former pastor of Macedonia Baptist Church on Macedonia Church Road in Taylorsville. He retired last year, according to a church member.
Spears has been charged with one felony count of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury with intent to kill. He was released on $100,000 secured bond on Thursday night.
A first appearance on this charge has been scheduled for Spears on Monday, Sept. 26, in Alexander County District Court.

Several health care-associated infections in U.S. hospitals spiked in 2020 compared to the previous year, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analysis published Sept. 2 in Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology. Soaring hospitalization rates, sicker patients who required more frequent and intense care, and staffing and supply shortages caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are thought to have contributed to this increase.
This is the first increase in health care–associated infections since 2015.
These findings “are a reflection of the enormous stress that COVID has placed on our health care system,” Arjun Srinivasan, MD (Capt, USPHS), the associate director of the CDC’s Health care-Associated Infection Prevention Programs, Atlanta, told this news organization. He was not an author of the article, but he supervised the research. “We don’t want anyone to read this report and think that it represents a failure of the individual provider or a failure of health care providers in this country in their care of COVID patients,” he said. He noted that health care professionals have provided “tremendously good care to patients under extremely difficult circumstances.”
“People don’t fail – systems fail – and that’s what happened here,” he said. “Our systems that we need to have in place to prevent health care–associated infection simply were not as strong as they needed to be to survive this challenge.”
In the study, researchers used data reported to the National Healthcare Safety Network, the CDC’s tracking system for health care–associated infections. The team compared national standard infection ratios – calculated by dividing the number of reported infections by the number of predicted infections – between 2019 and 2020 for six routinely tracked events:
Central line–associated bloodstream infections.
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs).
Ventilator-associated events (VAEs).
Infections associated with colon surgery and abdominal hysterectomy.
Clostridioides difficile infections.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections.
Infections were estimated using regression models created with baseline data from 2015.
“The new report highlights the need for health care facilities to strengthen their infection prevention programs and support them with adequate resources so that they can handle emerging threats to public health, while at the same time ensuring that gains made in combating HAIs [health care–associated infections] are not lost,” said the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology in a statement.
The analysis revealed significant national increases in central line–associated bloodstream infections, CAUTIs, VAEs, and MRSA infections in 2020 compared to 2019. Among all infection types, the greatest increase was in central-line infections, which were 46% to 47% higher in the third quarter and fourth quarter (Q4) of 2020 relative to the same periods the previous year. VAEs rose by 45%, MRSA infections increased by 34%, and CAUTIs increased by 19% in Q4 of 2020 compared to 2019.
The influx of sicker patients in hospitals throughout 2020 led to more frequent and longer use of medical devices such as catheters and ventilators. The use of these devices increases risk for infection, David P. Calfee, MD, chief medical epidemiologist at the New York–Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, said in an interview. He is an editor of Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology and was not involved with the study. Shortages in personal protective equipment and crowded intensive care units could also have affected how care was delivered, he said. These factors could have led to “reductions in the ability to provide some of the types of care that are needed to optimally reduce the risk of infection.”
There was either no change or decreases in infections associated with colon surgery or abdominal hysterectomy, likely because there were fewer elective surgeries performed, said Dr. Srinivasan. C. difficile–associated infections also decreased throughout 2020 compared to the previous year. Common practices to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in hospitals, such as environmental cleaning, use of personal protective equipment, and patient isolation, likely helped to curb the spread of C. difficile. Although these mitigating procedures do help protect against MRSA infection, many other factors, notably, the use of medical devices such as ventilators and catheters, can increase the risk for MRSA infection, Dr. Srinivasan added.
Although more research is needed to identify the reasons for these spikes in infection, the findings help quantify the scope of these increases across the United States, Dr. Calfee said. The data allow hospitals and health care professionals to “look back at what we did and then think forward in terms of what we can do different in the future,” he added, “so that these stresses to the system have less of an impact on how we are able to provide care.”
Dr. Srinivasan and Dr. Calfee report no relevant financial relationships.

Coming soon: the mp3 breast implant
BT bod moots musical mams
Lester Haines Thu 13 Oct 2005 // 10:46 UTC
Copy
Here's an appealing thought: an mp3 breast implant which will allow surgically-enhanced girls to store and play back their entire music collections from their 36DD assets.
We kid you not. According to UK tabloid the Sun - ever watchful for life-enhancing technology, especially when it's got a big jubs angle - BT Laboratories bod Ian Pearson reckons breast implants may as well do something useful if they're to be permanently installed, rather than just looking decorative.
Accordingly, he's proposed sticking an mp3 player in one dug, and a storage chip in the other. Quite how playback is achieved we're not quite sure*, but it may well involve the listener burying his or her head in the cleavage for a full stereo effect.
Likewise, God alone knows how you select tracks, but breasts do come equipped with a pleasing alternative to the iPod's selector wheel. We can imagine the scenario: Girlfriend: "Oi, what the bloody hell are you doing?" Boyfriend: "Hold on, I'm just scrolling down to Stairway to Heaven." ®
Bootnote
*Oh, OK then - Ian Pearson said "flexible plastic electronics would sit inside the breast. A signal would be relayed to headphones, while the device would be controlled by Bluetooth using a panel on the wrist". We prefer our solutions, naturally.

We are a mother-daughter team who began our soap-making endeavor in February of 2012. It was never our intention to sell a bar of soap, let alone start a business.
I, MaryAnne, married a Greek in 2006 and spending the summers in Greece quickly became a tradition. I found myself bringing home little treasures to share with family and friends and a few things to enjoy until the next summer. This was my way to share a bit of Greece and relish in the memories and nostalgia of our summer trip. These “souvenirs” always included Greek Olive Oil soap.
I, Carolyn, fell in love with using this olive oil soap (and the Greek oregano) and soon found myself running out before the summer months. Certainly I could find olive oil soap here in Houston! I found myself searching specialty stores and found soaps which contained olive oil, but they all had a long list of added oils, preservatives and detergents. Too many ingredients!
I, MaryAnne, thought back to an undergraduate chemistry class I had taken in college. All I could remember was wearing protective goggles, lab coats and gloves; and using some type of vegetable oil. What else, I couldn’t remember, but I was convinced we could do it!
So this began the process of researching recipes, products, equipment needed … what were we getting ourselves into? Finally, one weekend we got together with a recipe, some olive oil and a coffee whisk…we decided to give it a whirl. DO NOT make soap with a whisk!!!
Needless to say, we ironed out some kinks that first go, but we actually ended with a fairly successful block of soap, molded in a sewing machine drawer.
A few years in, we now have a menu of great olive oil body products. We love working together and we enjoy creating natural products that feel amazing!

Every time I look at the logs of my webservers, I’m amazed at how many webcrawlers are out there, indexing web sites for some search engine or another. But there are definitely parts of my websites that aren’t meant for indexing — dynamically generated statistics that change every minute aren’t worth indexing, and likewise, web cameras probably aren’t worth throwing into a search engine. This is where the Robot Exclusion Protocol comes in; it allows you to create a robots.txt file as part of your website, and well-behaved webcrawlers are supposed to look at this file to determine what not to index.
Using a robots.txt file on your Frontier site
Frontier is an amazing web serving and web content environment, and putting a robots.txt file into your Frontier-generated or -maintained web sites is easy. Since I’m concentrating mostly on how to integrate a robots.txt file into a Frontier web site, I am going to assume from this point on that you know how to write a robots.txt file; if you don’t, it doesn’t really matter, but you can also read the Web Server Administrator’s Guide to the Robot Exclusion Protocol. Additionally, I am focusing here only on mainResponder as the webserver in Frontier, since that’s the current shipping framework. (It’s also much improved over the old webserver, so you should upgrade to it if you’re still running a version of Frontier without it!)
First, let’s start out with the three big requirements of a robots.txt file that are relevant to this discussion:
There can only be one robots.txt file on a website.
The file should be at the root of the website.
The file should be plain text, not HTML.
The first requirement is tricky, insofar as it means on any given base URL you can only have one robots.txt file. So, if you have Frontier serving only one URL (say, you can only have one file total. But if you are using Frontier’s ability to serve multiple virtual domains, then each domain can have its own robots.txt file.
The last two requirements mean that, depending on how you have set up mainResponder or each virtual domain site, there are different ways to include the robots.txt file. The big variable is where a website’s home URL is being served from — for the most part, it can either be from the Guest directory or from a website table in the Object Database (ODB). Let’s look at both options.
The Guest directory
This provides the easiest way to include a robots.txt file, since a website that’s serving out of this directory just serves up files as-is. All that you have to do is put a straight text file into the directory; a file like the following will prevent any well-behaved crawler from indexing anything on your site.
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
Now, remember the first rule above — you can only have one robots.txt file on any given website. So, if the base URL for your website is and you have a Manila site at you can’t have a robots.txt file at the base of your Manila site — webcrawlers won’t look for it there, since that violates the protocol spec. Instead, your robots.txt file at the root of your website can include a section that has specific rules for the directory myFirstSite; read the protocol specs to get the details. (Note that there’s also a robots META tag that you can use on a per-page basis; that’s a topic for a later date.)
Website tables in the ODB
Because of the third requirement above, this is a little trickier. when a site is rendered out of a table, Frontier is good about creating proper HTML; for the robots.txt file, though, you don’t want HTML, you want plain text. This is easily done.
First, create a subtable named #templates at the root of your website table. In this table, create an outline object named robotTemplate. The outline should consist of one line, {bodytext}. (Specifically, there should not be references to the pageHeader or pageFooter macros.)
Next, create a WP Text entry at the root of your website table named robots.txt. The first line of this should be #template “robotTemplate”; the rest should contain your robots.txt information. Again, determine the content that you want in this from the protocol spec. Here’s an example:
#template "robotTemplate"
User-agent: *
Disallow: /private/
Now, when the webcrawler requests the robots.txt file, it will get this object; Frontier renders it through the robotTemplate template, so it doesn’t get any HTML formatting. Check it out in your web browser — request the robots.txt file, and look at the page source to verify that there’s no HTML.
Again, remember that this is only useful if the website table is actually being served as the root of a website; if it’s one directory into the website, then webcrawlers won’t look for the file, and it won’t do you any good.

SYDNEY: Asian shares made cautious gains on Thursday as investors scented a possible slowdown in the pace of U.S. rate hikes, lowering bond yields and restraining the dollar.
As expected, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised rates 75 basis points to 2.25-2.5% but did note some softening in recent data.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell sounded suitably hawkish on curbing inflation in his news conference, but also dropped guidance on the size of the next rate rise and noted that "at some point" it would be appropriate to slow down.
"The Fed no longer feel behind the curve and can now assess the appropriateness of policy 'meeting by meeting'," said Elliot Clarke, a senior economist at Westpac.
"This is not to say that the rate-hike cycle is complete or even that a pause is coming, but risks look as though they are transitioning from being skewed to the upside to the downside."
The futures market 0#FF: still has 100 basis points of further tightening priced in by year-end, but also implies around 50 basis points of rate cuts over 2023. FEDWATCH
Yet shares of several major U.S. tech companies, including Meta Platforms META.O, also slid after hours as poor quarterly results and outlooks underscored recession fears.
,
,
That saw Nastic product for the second quarter where another negative reading would meet the technical definition of a recession, though the United States has its own method of deciding those.
Median forecasts are for growth of 0.5%, but the closely-watched Atlanta Fed estimate of GDP is for a fall of 1.2%.
EURO STILL LACKS ENERGY
In bond markets, two-year Treasury yields US2YT=RR steadied at 2.990% after falling 6 basis points in the wake of the Fed meeting. US/
Although the yield curve steepened slightly, most of it remained inverted in a sign investors believe policy tightening will lead to an economic downturn and lower inflation.
"While central banks are still on track to continue tightening this year, it is increasingly likely that the most rapid pace of rate hikes may be behind us," said analysts at JPMorgan in a note.
"Falling commodity prices, notably excluding European natural gas, should offer some inflation relief, and the global economy outside of China is losing momentum."
In currencies, the dollar index held at 106.360 =USD after losing 0.7% overnight as risk sentiment improved. It dipped to 136.18 yen JPY=EBS and away from its recent peak of 139.38.

It has been reported that INFINITE member L will not be renewing his contract. When INFINITE first debuted, they had initially signed a seven-year contract with the company. After those seven years, member Hoya left in 2017, leaving the group with six members. That same year, the remaining members signed a two-year contract with the company.
The said contract will be expiring this month. INFINITE recently celebrated the 8th anniversary of their fan club “INSPIRIT,” and INSPIRITs have been patiently waiting to hear about news on contract renewals.
According to an exclusive report by Apple Daily, member L (also known as Kim Myungsoo) has chosen not to renew his contract with the company in the hopes of further pursuing his career as an actor.
L has been active as an actor since 2011 and has allegedly been trying to shed his “idol-actor” image to be known professionally as an actor. His skills and healing roles have attracted many fans. He will be having a fan meet in Taiwan. Quick-eyed fans noticed how the poster did not include the “Woollim Entertainment” logo, which led to further speculations that L will no longer be housed by the agency.
L first debuted in 2010 with INFINITE and their song “Come Back Again.” They hit big in 2011 with their song “Be Mine” and have debuted in both South Korea and Japan. In 2017, Hoya left the group after deciding not to renew his contract with the company. The group’s last album was released in January of 2018, which is entitled “Top Seed.” Their previous activity as a group was a fan meeting in December of 2018, and the members of INFINITE have since been focusing on solo projects.

In just a few short years, Brian Krusz and Andrew Bendik went from being car wash industry newcomers to owning one of the most successful car wash chains in Northeast Ohio.
When the two childhood friends acquired an ailing tunnel wash in Strongsville, Ohio, in 2013, many doubted their ability to turn it around. However, they quickly proved the naysayers wrong. Renaming the wash Sgt. Clean’s Car Wash, a nod to Krusz’s service in the United States Marine Corps, they revived the business with what has become their signature brand of personalized service.
Since then, they’ve acquired and turned around several more locations. And they’re just getting started.
Krusz credits their team, dedication to employee training and their partnership with industry-leading car wash technology provider DRB® Tunnel Solutions for their success.
“Without a doubt, we wouldn’t be where we are today without the guidance and wisdom of DRB,” Krusz said.
The Challenge
Krusz and Bendik ran their first location for one year with the existing equipment. The point-of-sale was an old DOS version of DRB’s software. While they were able to increase revenue by 26% from the previous owner in that first year, they knew they would need updated equipment to truly succeed.
Even though the original POS was from DRB and they were the first POS vendor the Sgt. Clean’s team learned about, they didn’t select the vendor by default. They researched every provider they could find, even traveling to visit different vendors and car wash sites in search of the most user-friendly system for both their team and their customers.
The Solution
All roads led back to DRB.
“It was the smoothest and easiest,” Krusz said. “Plus, DRB provided a ton of information. The reporting and capability of getting data was just profound.”
Perhaps even more profound was how genuine and positive the company and its representatives were.
“When I would ask other vendors if they could do this or that, it was always a no,” Krusz said. “DRB always had a ‘Yes, we can do that’ or ‘We’ll see what we can do.’”
That willingness to go above and beyond led Sgt. Clean’s to select DRB. Since then, they have used nearly every product in DRB’s portfolio.
“They do things the right way,” Krusz said. “They treat people the right way. If there’s an issue, they get it resolved as soon as possible. I’ve heard horror stories of customer service at other businesses where there are huge malfunctions. With DRB, it’s always been ‘We’ll take care of you.’”
The Results
Since 2014, Sgt. Clean’s revenues have increased by 1,500% due in no small part to the capabilities offered by DRB. Specifically, DRB introduced Sgt. Clean’s to monthly unlimited plans.
At first, unlimited plans were a bit of a daunting concept. How should plans be charged? Would members erode profits by washing too much? How could they prevent member fall-off?
“It’s a bit of a cliff jumper,” Krusz said. “They helped us learn and understand it.”
DRB also set them up with the tools they needed for a successful program. The Xpress Pay Terminal® (XPT®) allowed customers to easily purchase plans from a convenient touchscreen. FastPass® saved time by using RFID technology to automatically allow plan members to the tunnel in less than two seconds without even requiring them to lower their windows. And the Automatic Recharge Module® (ARM®) helped reduce fall-offs by automatically charging members’ credit cards monthly to renew their plans.
Unlimited plans have been a game changer for Sgt. Clean’s. They signed 1,000 members in the first year, and the plans now account 50-60% of their total annual revenue. More than that, the recurring revenue gives the owners and staff peace of mind and allows Sgt. Clean’s to provide health insurance and a 401(k) to its salaried employees.
“We can breathe a little easier and get an extra five minutes of sleep,” Krusz said. “I don’t worry anymore about what I can’t control, like the weather.”
Within the past year, Sgt. Clean’s has added two new DRB products. The first is the CarPics® Touch queue management system, which allows employees to more easily manipulate the queue from a touchscreen at the front of the tunnel.
They also recently added the NoPileups™ tunnel management system that uses advanced computer technology to stop the wash when a collision threat is detected. NoPileups has already prevented accidents that could have held up the tunnel for hours or even days. When there’s an issue, it pinpoints the source so it can easily and quickly be resolved. Moreover, it allows operators to increase roller speeds and decrease space between cars because they don’t have to worry about pileups.
CarPics Touch and NoPileups are examples of how DRB continually helps Sgt. Clean’s wash more cars so they can continue to increase revenue.
“Our whole business model hinges on getting people through the tunnel as efficiently and quickly as possible,” Krusz said. “DRB allows us to do that at the best level possible.”
The Future
Krusz has his eyes set on more growth in the coming years, both in increased capacity and future acquisitions. He knows that DRB will be a big part of that growth.
“Obviously, the industry is constantly changing,” Krusz said. “We want to partner with people who are going forward as fast as we are. DRB will be our knowledge source and will help us grow with innovation and new products.”
Since Sgt. Clean’s meticulously researched POS systems in 2014, new products and vendors have come on the scene, but Krusz has never second-guessed his partnership with DRB.
“We’ve never had a reason to reconsider,” Krusz said. “They have proven year-after-year to be a top, genuine company.”

You can learn about the cloud security specialty certification on the AWS website. This exam will test you on your ability to deploy distributed systems in the AWS cloud, as well as high availability and fault tolerance. It will also test your ability to manage cloud spend. You should try it out at least once before you take the actual exam. Then, you can take the exam again to ensure you are ready. Here’s how to do it.
The Cloud Security Specialist track is comprised of CCP Modules one to nine. The questions in this track apply the knowledge you learnt in the previous courses and provide hands-on lab exercises. Upon successful completion, you will receive an official digital Certificate of Completion or Training Badge from Acclaim/Credly. Once you complete this certification, you can apply it to any job role you hold. In the meantime, you can start studying for the CCSP today.
Although there are many different cloud security certifications available, GCSA is one of the more specialized. It tests candidates’ knowledge of six different cloud security domains, including privacy, security controls, and identity management. It validates the candidate’s expertise and experience in designing, managing, and securing AWS. You can also get comptia security+ training course. AWS Certified Security Specialist and CCSP are complementary certifications. CCSP and GCSA are designed to broaden and deepen cloud security knowledge and skills.
The AWS Security Specialty certification also tests you on the use of security protocols across the entire range of AWS products. While Amazon offers an extensive selection of enterprise-grade security tools, some of these tools are hard to configure. For example, to run an HIPPA-compliant server on AWS, you must implement a separate server that encrypts data in transit and at rest and secures communications. In general, though, a cloud security specialty certification requires a deep understanding of cloud security.
AWS Security Specialty online training courses are also available. These courses have 23 hours of video content and three scenarios-based lab sessions. They provide lifetime access to course materials and simulations of the AWS exam. These courses are not cheap, though – you must subscribe for access to all course material. However, if you want to take the exam, AWS security specialty courses are definitely worth considering. Get in touch with Trade Line Mastermind to get aws security certification training. They will help you get certified in AWS’s cloud security services and protect your customers’ information.
An AWS security specialty certification can prove to be an invaluable asset if you plan to secure workloads on AWS. As cloud computing grows in importance across all industries, it is becoming more important for professionals to demonstrate their cloud expertise. There are several industry-recognized certifications that you can obtain that will prove your credibility. To get started, start practicing the skills necessary to secure cloud-based infrastructure. Once you’ve mastered the basics, you’ll be ready to tackle the most complicated challenges. Choose cyber security certification training for your career.
The AWS Certified Security – Specialty exam tests your understanding of the concepts of cloud security. The exam covers data encryption methods, secure internet protocols, security operations, and risks. Incident response covers 12% of the exam and requires you to isolate reported EC2 instances and analyze relevant logs. Besides, you’ll have to capture a memory dump and evaluate the effectiveness of automated alerting. The exam also covers infrastructure migrations and previous security incidents.
Another role that can benefit from a cloud security specialty certification is a system administrator. System administrators oversee the deployment of both on-premise and cloud-based IT infrastructure. As cloud-based IT is rapidly becoming more widespread, system administrators need to be aware of the latest security protocols and practices. By learning about cloud architecture and security, they can secure the communication between the two. There are also many other positions within IT that could benefit from an AWS Security Specialty certification.
If you have two or five years of experience in IT security, you should consider earning an AWS Certified Security-Specialty certification. AWS security specialty certification will verify your expertise in the AWS platform. This certification costs $300 and is valid for three years. It is also important to recertify regularly to demonstrate your continuing expertise. You should take a security specialty certification test at least once every three years. This way, you can be assured that you’re up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies.
Obtaining a cloud security specialty certification will allow you to use the AWS cloud’s advanced features to secure your business. These certifications require that you have at least five years of experience in IT security and are knowledgeable in all aspects of the AWS environment. To qualify for this certification, you should have at least two years of experience in securing AWS workloads. In addition, you should have five years of experience in general IT security.

The day feels wrong. I have surely died during the night and woken up in an afterlife full of darkness. To a day that never fully lets in sunshine or grows daylight. I know what it means. I know the potential this thick fog contains, should I decide to enter it. Walk through. Knowing that like a female version of Luke Skywalker I will be confronted with my deepest fears; the ones that lead to hate and suffering. The Dark side. Dark matter attracting more Dark Matter until I fully understand energetically and not just emotionally and mentally, that I am truly bright and shiny. True love connected. There is no differing between the sexes here. The path is the path, regardless. Choose? I hesitate. It would be easier to go back to sleep. To stay in my Princess tower and wait for rescue. But I know that staying up there will not enhance any confrontation. And I would be mixing up too many fairy tales and confuse the plot and disturb the happy ending. I know someone who tells those stories better than any one else could..... And seek her counsel.. the era of the prophecising Sibyl is not forgotten.. She encourages me to enter.. In the darkness I feel instantly the shame and the guilt for having expressed an opinion, for letting my power show. I feel the walls caving in and limiting my expression. I feel the fear of being alone. I see how far I am willing to walk straight into that lie. I see it. I don’t walk it. I rage against the limiting belief that we only ever move in relativity. In opposites. As if it’s a curse we cannot humanly shake. Doomed forever by our own limits to repeat and repeat. Like the hamster in the wheel running for no escape, and we forgot why we even keep moving, since we are going absolutely nowhere. I see how easy it is to break that pattern. Understanding at last that repeating the same thing over and over that does not work will only ever stop, once you react in an unforeseen way. And how tempted I was to react in the same manner. Instead I ask for light. I ask for peace. I ask to remember I am Love. I remember that I need nothing. I have everything. I am not in any danger. No matter where I wake up. Alone. Together. It doesn’t matter. I am love. There are days when you simply just must accept and surrender to going back into the cave you know you have arrived at. Keeping an open heart. Fully faithed. Appreciating this is the first test of a series of many to come. To keep the light on in these dark days coming. To stand by your own side. Keep your own wisdom. Be safe there. Be strong there. Chasing rainbows are just that. The chase. Keeping you running for nothing. Like the hamster that forgot why. Patience and regaining strength. The fog clears. I have no battle. I have no shame. I just need to spend time decoding and reconstructing my responses once I see how they dance around me. The madness. The darkness. A little while longer. Till the Sun shines brightly again. It will soon be another Spring and the Light will return to the world. Until then I am reminded that there is an eternal summer deep in my Heart. I will go there.

Sunlight glittered on the Bay as Berkeley resident Lyrinda Snyderman and her friends paddled their kayaks to Angel Island on a calm, clear July morning. The breeze was light and salty. Circling seabirds shrieked and dove above the tideline near Treasure Island.
Snyderman noticed odd, dark triangles bobbing for a moment beneath the whirling birds, then vanishing from sight. Tug boats, she thought.
Then one of her friends yelled, “I think I see whales.”
Snyderman quickly flipped her camera to zoom. For the next 50 minutes, she and her friends had a front row seat to the remarkable spectacle of humpback whales lunge-feeding in the San Francisco Bay.
The unprecedented appearance of healthy humpbacks feeding in the Bay is a sign of complex shifts in climate and ocean ecology, marine biologist believe. Changes in atmospheric conditions and water temperature, along with water quality, ultimately effect where sea life lives and thrives.
“We tend to focus on the megafauna because we can see them, but it’s important to focus on the little things, too,” says Dr. Jonathan Stern, a marine biologist with San Francisco State University. “There have been these huge schools of anchovies right off shore…and as the tides move in and out of San Francisco Bay, so do the anchovies.”
The humpbacks, in turn, follow their favorite food into the Bay.
Up until this year, Stern says, there were “plenty of food resources for them further offshore, out towards the Farallon Islands.”
Dr. Ellen Hines, associate director of The Romberg Tiburon Research Center, says colder, oxygen- and nutrient-rich waters from deeper in the ocean is where the food chains thrive.
In a process called upwelling, the deeper, colder waters rise as Northerly winds along the California coast move warmer surface water away from the shore, she says.
“More food chains are enabled because in this colder upwelling of water… there’s more life.” Hines adds, “The upwelling used to be relatively seasonal and predictive.”
However, a persistent ridge of high pressure parked over the North Pacific and North America several years ago. This high pressure ridge is thought to have contributed to the rise of a large mass of warmer than normal surface ocean temperature.
“The theory is that the upwelling is closer and closer to shore, restricted by this higher ocean temperature. So what is happening is that these animals are coming closer and closer to shore in search of food in the colder, more nutrient-rich waters,” says Hines.
“As more animals come closer to shore, they’re in danger of ship collisions and…crab traps, which are what they really get entangled in.”
The Greater Farallons Marine Sanctuary estimates between 7,500 and 9,000 large ships transit the Golden Gate each year and the shipping channels cut right through marine habitats.
There is evidence that low-frequency noise from ships can be a stressor to whales, Dr. Maya Yamato, a Diablo Valley College marine biologist says. Research shows that whales in the Northern Hemisphere have changed the frequency at which they communicate over the last thirty years. This could possibly be an adaptation to the constant din of ships in their habitat.
Fortunately, there are glimmers of progress in the protection of marine life and their habitats, and improvement in Bay water quality.
Marine biologist Dr. Jonathan Stern says, “Around the year 2000, the Bay started to become cleaner and more productive” thanks to decades of conservation legislation beginning to pay off.
“In 2008, I followed a large school of porpoises inside the Bay, mothers and calves just cavorting around, and that was really surprising,” says Stern.
“Now, we see porpoises in the Bay every day. They actually come in with the tides and go out with the outgoing tides” following the small fish they feed on. As many as 700 individual harbor porpoises have made their way into the Bay, Stern says, many of whom make their homes around the Farallon Islands. Great White Sharks are also now regular guests inside the Gate.
When the humpbacks hung out in the Golden Gate straits this Summer, Stern said he observed ships coming to nearly a complete stop to allow the whales wide berth. Because of the number of animals, that was a lot of rerouting.
“I would go out at the Marin Headlands between the Golden Gate and Land’s End. We would see 40 humpbacks at a time…spread out in groups just lunge feeding and this was for weeks at a time,” Stern says.
It’s good to know that even if marine mammals are taken off the Endangered Species List, they’re still protected by the Marine Mammals Protection Act (MMPA), he says.
Mary Jane Schramm of The Greater Farallons Marine Sanctuary says the MMPA recommends whale watchers stay at least 300 ft. away. This includes windsurfers, kite boarders and boaters and is for the public’s safety as well as the whale’s.
“Stress from multiple non-lethal disturbances is also harmful, as (the whales) could be ‘spooked’ into heading…up the Sacramento River… There, death awaits if they don’t get back to the ocean,” Shramm says.
When recalling her experience kayaking near the humpbacks, Lyrinda Snyderman says, “To be in a small boat next to a whale, you really are sharing that environment with them.
“It was a privilege to be allowed into their lives.”

Fresh liver can help. Also try the Furminator Deshedding comb. I love mine.
Most pet stores sell a supplement for dogs. It comes in a log (it looks like a log of premade cookie dough) and comes in a bunch of favors: beef, chicken, etc. With a vegetable peeler, add a little bit to your dogs food every day. The package says to cut off an inch or so of the log with each feeding- THAT IS WAY TOO MUCH. just a little goes a long way. Plus, the meat stick tastes great, your dog will love it

The much-awaited theatrical trailer of 'Power Star' Pawan Kalyan’s Agnyaathavaasi was released on Saturday, amid much fanfare.
The trailer, which has since gone viral on social media, promises an action-packed film.
"Behind every comfort we wish for, there is a mini-war," Pawan's character declares in the trailer.
Agnyaathavaasi is Pawan's 25th film, and the teaser of the movie was released last month.
Watch the theatrical trailer below.
Agnyaathavaasi is Pawan’s third film with director Trivikram Srinivas, who earlier directed Jalsa and Attarintiki Daredi, both blockbusters.
Music for the film is by Anirudh Ravichander, who is making his debut in Tollywood. The first single Bayatiki Vachi Chuste has already become a huge hit.
The film is being produced by S Radha Krishna under the banner Haarika & Haasine Creations. For the first time, Keerthy Suresh has been paired with Pawan Kalyan. Anu Emmanuel is also playing an important role in the film.
The cast also includes Khushboo, Boman Irani, Rao Ramesh and others.
According to reports, the theatrical rights of the film have been sold out for a record price.
The makers announced that the film will have a massive release across the USA. Agnyaathavaasi will have the biggest ever release in USA in 209 Cinemark locations which is the highest for an Indian film.
Last month, the title of the film was announced and the first look poster was launched, which fans dubbed a perfect blend of ‘class and mass’, calling it a unique trait of both Pawan Kalyan and director Trivikram Srinivas.
It may be mentioned here that the film is caught in a legal tangle with T Series slapping a legal notice on the makers seeking clarification if it is a remake of the French movie Largo Finch for which they hold the remake rights.

London-based technology firm, Linksfield Techologies, has announced the launch of a jointly branded Financial Sanctions Register (FSR) Checker system with National Regulatory Services (NRS).
As part of the agreement, Linksfield will offer NRS’ customers access to Linksfield’s Online FSR Checker which will be co-branded, enabling NRS customers to remain compliant with UK sanctions legislation.
The Financial Services Authority recently warned small and medium sized institutions that controls need to be improved in order to avoid doing business with members on the Government’s “blacklist” of financial sanctions.
The blacklist is managed by the Treasury and consists of around 1,400 individuals and 500 entities linked to terrorist financing in Britain and abroad.
Software like the Financial Sanctions Register (FSR) Checker is designed to help smaller businesses compare their customer lists with updates from the Treasury’s list of financial sanctions targets.
The FSR Checker can either run on site (integrating with other back office systems and facilitating batch processing), or give an online, web-based version targeted primarily at brokers who want to do ad-hoc searches.
Both versions produce the necessary reports to evidence to the FSA that appropriate searches are being run regularly against the blacklist.
Mark Posniak, Linksfield’s Head of Business Development, said: “With all the current talk of legislation and potential penalties for getting sanctions checking wrong, we are delighted to have launched the jointly branded web-based FSR Checker to help reduce the burden for NRS clients.”
Gordon McMurray, Managing Director of NRS, added: “Deciding to implement the NRS/Linksfield FSR Checker system was a real no-brainer for us. We are acutely aware of the legislative requirements for our clients and we are pleased to now have a cost-effective and easy-to-use offering for them, on advantageous commercial terms.”

How to ensure the privacy of my meeting recording video
The basic Vimeo membership does not allow any privacy options for the video. However, if you upgrade your Vimeo account to Plus or above then, the plugin will use all the privacy-related options offered by Vimeo namely:
1) Hide the uploaded video from so it cannot be directly viewed on Vimeo even if the link is shared.
2) Protect the video from being embedded on any other site except your own WP site through the Vimeo Domain-level privacy feature.
3) Remove the share button and Vimeo logo from the embedded video.
Hence, your recording video will only be accessible on the meeting page of your own site.

For the last decade, the space station’s population has vRussian cosmonauts and a NASA astronaut touched down Saturday on the steppe of Kazakhstan following a half-year mission on the International Space Station, footage broadcast by the Russian space agency showed.
Russia’s Sergei Ryzhikov and Sergei Kud-Sverchkov as well as NASA’s Kate Rubins landed on barren land at 0455 GMT around 150 kilometres (90 miles) southeast of the town of Zhezkazgan.
The Soyuz descent module carring the trio landed upright after descending through a cloudless sky on a fine spring day in central Kazakhstan, a Roscosmos TV commentator confirmed.
Molecular biologist Rubins, 42, and former military pilot Ryzhikov, 46, were rounding off their second missions in space having both made their ISS debuts following launches in July and October of 2016 respectively.
Kud’-Sverchkov, 39, another ex-military man, was completing his first mission.
Footage from the landing site showed Rubins smiling as she received a bouquet of flowers from retired cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko, who was there to greet the crew.
“It is great to be on this side of things,” Rubins said.
She will return to NASA’s hub in Houston while colleagues Ryzhikov and Kud-Sverchkov are bound for Moscow as they wind down their missions.
During her debut mission in 2016, Rubins became the first person to sequence DNA in space.
In her second mission she continued her sequencing activities, worked on cariovascular experiments and oversaw a small patch of radishes “as they grew in orbit… harvesting them for analysis back on Earth”, according to NASA.
Busy orbital lab
For the last decade, the space station’s population has typically varied between three and six as crews that blasted off from Russia’s Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan came and went.
Entrepreneur Elon Musk’s Shuttle programme in 2011, beginning a new chapter of spaceflight from US soil.
As a result the number of crew on board will reach 11 next week with the arrival of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-2 mission.
NASA’s Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide, and Thomas Pesquet of the European Space Agency are expected to dock with the ISS next Friday, with the four-person crew they are replacing scheduled to return to Earth on April 28.
The absolute record for people aboard the ISS was set in 2009, when an arriving crew took the orbital lab’s population to 13.
That is also the joint all-time record for the most people in space at any one time after seven astronauts were aboard the NASA space shuttle Endeavour and a six-man crew was aboard the Mir space station simultaneously in March 1995.
Continuously occupied for more than 20 years, the ISS is expected to be retired before the end of the decade, raising questions about future cooperation between Russia and the West in space.
NASA on Friday said it had selected SpaceX to develop a spacecraft to land the first astronauts on the surface of the Moon since 1972—a huge victory for Elon Musk’s company.
April 12 marked the sixtieth anniversary of Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin’s historic mission marking the beginning of human spaceflight and a key moment in the space race between Moscow and the West.
Since the fall of the Soviet Union there has been more cooperation than competition, although it is difficult to disguise the appearance that Roscosmos and NASA are going their separate ways as the ISS winds down.

My Gumotex Seawave is a well spec’d IK for my sort of coast-hopping and occasional touring, especially as it was factory rated to run at a higher-than-usual 0.25bar or 3.6psi (Gumo normal is 0.2). That means greater rigidity which adds up to less longitudinal sag caused by paddler weight (who, me?!) . And of course a better g l i d e. My previous Amigo and Incept both ran an even higher 0.3 bar, and it’s said that this Gumotex can also be pushed to that sort of pressure on the side tubes without risking damage. Factory hull pressures are set on the conservative side to limit warranty claims.
Like all the Gumboats I’ve owned, the more vulnerable I-beam floor chamber has a factory-fitted PRV set at 0.25bar/3.6psi (confirmed below). PRVs are important here as if an IK gets hot (typically out of the water on a sunny day) internal air pressure can increase to the point where seams might rupture. If separation happens to an internal I-beam in the floor it will balloon up and becomes a very difficult repair. I would not meddle with the factory-set PRV on an I-beam floor.
As we all now know, the answer to I-beam floor limitations is drop-stitch technology – effectively zillions on ‘I-beams’ spreading the load over the entire area which enables much higher pressures.
In a discussion with a French Gumtexer, he suggested that Gumotex use the same orange dot 0.243 PRVs in all their boats, irrespective of the stated official rating which is either ‘0.2’ like most – or ‘0.25’ on the Seawave. He sent me a photo of his 2016 Palava floor PRV (left) – orangey-pink, same as my Seawave and classified by Ceredi as 0.243.
Officially the Palava is a ‘normal pressure’ 0.2 bar canoe. Upshot? Your Gumboat’s floor may be rated at higher pressure than you think or is officially stated. You’d assume then that the tubed sides can easily handle at least as much pressure. Then again, in the table below, Ceredi state the orange PRV will open between 0.21 and 0.243 so perhaps 0.21 it is and we all just need to calm down a bit.
PRVs use springs set to purge air before pressures reach structure-damaging levels. Then again, my Amigo had no PRVs at all so you assume Grabner were confident their floor construction was solid enough to handle occasional neglect. But I’ve been caught out before and always try to ensure a boat remains in the cooling water when moored up on hot days – even getting up to splash the sides as they tighten up like a drum.
Like most IKs with single side tubes, my Seawave had no PRVs as the tubular profile can handle higher pressures better than the flat, ‘lilo’ floor. However, if you’re planning to run them over-pressure as I am suggesting, that could be risky.
The answer: fit PRVs in the side tubes – just like my old twin side tube Incept. That way you can safely leave you IK out of the water in the tropics, go and hike up a volcano (which might be described as ‘the planet’s PRVs’) knowing that all three chambers will harmlessly purge any excess pressure. Sure, when it all cools again back in the water the boat may be saggy, but better a quick top up with your K-Pump than pulling bits of shredded Nitrilon out of the palm trees.
Ideally I was looking for a PRV set at a reasonable 33.33% over the factory figure of 0.25 bar – i.e.: something around 0.33 bar or 4.8psi.
I admit that the colours look pretty close but it’s pinky-orange for the OE floor and red for my 0.33s
Well-known IK valve-makers Leafield and Halkey didn’t make anything matching my needs (or don’t sell to individuals). The Seawave’s valves are stamped ‘Ceredi Italy’ and once I managed to track them down online, I saw the same Ceredi 6600 PRV series came in options including Red 4.78 psi or 0.33 bar, (above right). In the UK they were a special order via IBS and cost £35 a pair posted.
Before you get too excited, scroll down to the bottom and read Nikola’s PRV nozzle idea.
Ceredi prices too steep for you? On eBay I bought unbranded ‘4psi‘ PRVs from China for about £4 a shot and delivered in less than 2 weeks.
Note these are smaller than your Ceredi and require only a 25mm hole. The back nut will easily fit through the inflation valve hole, once you remove that.
I pressure-tested the valves I received and they stood up to the claim: more here.
Search eBay: ‘Air Safety Release Valve Kayak’.
As you can read from Adam’s comment below, there is – or more probably was – a super valve which combined both inflation and pressure-release duties which means you simply replace the stock inflation-only valve. No need for extra holes to be cut. His link no longer works but I tracked it down to here; the Bravo Super Valve – that’s Bravo as in the Italian branded Chinese-made pumps we all know and love. But there is no mention of a super valve on their valve page anymore, nor in their catalog.
Fitting the Ceredi red dot PRVs
Tools and time needed
• Gumotex push-push valve removing tool (fits Ceredi PRVs also). Right; £12 on ebay
• Narrow-bladed knife or scalpel
• Water pump/lock channel pliers
• 30-60 mins
Short version
• First, remove the side chamber’s inflation valve with the tool. They can be extremely stiff. If you can’t undo it, maybe think twice before going ahead. Or try silicon spray grease of 303 protectorate to lube
• Choose your spot, mark and then cut a 37mm hole in each side chamber. The Ceredi-suggested 35mm was not enough. Or fit the smaller, unbranded mini PRV (~25mm hole); see above.
• Squeeze the PRV’s threaded back collar through the bigger inflation-valve hole, shuffle it over to the new PRV hole and loosely screw on the external part of the PRV by hand
• Reassemble the inflation valve and tighten both valves with the tool
• Fit push-on caps to the PRVs
• Pump up and check for leaks. Maybe retighten some valves with the tool
Read this Interesting post
Long version
I chose to fit the PRVs close to the inflation valves and at about the same level. There are mysterious markings on the inside of the Seawave to aid symmetrical positioning (Pic 2, below). I used a narrow-bladed knife and of course took care to gather up the hull skin so I wouldn’t inadvertently puncture the other side of the side tube.
I assumed the 35mm hole would be big enough to take the back nut. When it wasn’t I was a bit flummoxed. Now I had a gaping hole in my boat, but no way of getting the back of the PRV inside the boat without performing a Caesarian on my Seawave. Luckily two brain cells dropped into my Hadron Collider and it occurred to me that once removed, the nearby main inflation valve’s hole might be bigger. And it was – just.
One stock push-push valve was extremely hard to undo. I wondered if it had been glued in or that the plastic valve removal tool would snap (you can buy a metal one for loads more). When the other side undid with less effort I knew it had to be possible.
Another problem is that the internal collar or nut is only 10cm deep (pic 4, below) and so was hard to grab through the hull fabric. Until I realised this, I was grabbing the inside part of the outer valve body which screws through the collar from the outside. Trying to ‘unscrew’ the valve body from itself is like trying to pull you head off – eventually the valve tool would break. Another ‘Higgs boson’ moment came over me and I realised that by chance the two valve holes were close enough for me to get some water-pump pliers in there, grab the back collar and finish the job (pic 6, below). After that, no more problems.
One thing I noticed while doing all this was the unseen protective patch on the inside of the hull opposite the inflation valves to limit wear and rubbing between valve body and hull when the boat’s delated. Nice touch, Gumotex ;-)
I did all the valves up as hard as possible with tool and hand, and in four more years had no problems. On a hot day in the sun I can hear the high-pressure side PRVs hissing away. The gallery below shows the job in chronological order.
The bits you need. Note the adjustment nut, top right. Didn’t spot that originally.
Incision, but the right-sized 37-mm hole is too small to pass through the ’35mm’ PRV back collar
37mm hole is better, but still not wide enough to pass through the inside ‘retaining nut’ of PRV assembly
You need to remove the main inflation valve (it’s hard to grab the inside part by hand). Then the PRV back nut just squeezes through main valve hole and can be shuffled along towards the new hole
Holding the PRV back nut in place to tighten is hard by hand. So pass pliers through the main valve hole…
… to clamp onto the back of the PRV assembly. This is why it helps to cut the PRV hole close to the main valve
PRV done. Now replace main valve
Clamp them all up
PRVs as far as the eye can see
Small leaks after reassembly test: retighten all valves
Now it’ll be good know that should I doze off as the tide ebbs away, I won’t be rudely woken by an exploding boat. Another side benefit of doing this is that you’ll never need to use a manometer (pressure gauge) again. You simply pump up all three chambers until they hiss and you know they are at full operating pressure.
Nikola’s PRV nozzle idea
In the comments below you will see Nikola suggesting the idea of using capped off PRV nozzles you’d usually fit to the end of your inflation pump hose to fill up a boat to the correct pressure without referring to a manometer. The integrated PRV in the nozzle purges at a given pressure. No scalpels required.
You will need to block off the open end where the pump hose attaches. The €13 red Ceredi ones he found (left) are rated at more or less the same pressures as a Seawave: 0.25 bar/3.5 psi. I think if I was running a Seawave in a hot country I’d definitely fit some to protect (or not have to worry about) the sidetubes.
It might even be possible to adjust the spring inside the Ceredis (beneath the vented cap) to get a bit more pressure before they open, getting closer to the red-dot in-hull Ceredi PRVs I fitted of Seawave 1. Or fit the similar black Grabner inflation relief valve which is rated at a more promising 0.3 bar, but, like everything Grabner, is double the price of the Ceredis.

Thank you Chris for your amazi g reviews.
Look at this new Ceredi relief valve:
Do you think that thi could be use instead of Ceredi relief valve if I close it from the side intended for an inflation and let it stay on the main inflating valve while paddling. This could be an easy fix. I wonder why ceredy doesn’t make a super valve like Bravo in the past (which is not available).
Please let us know your thougts about this valve.
All the best!

Hi Nikola, I’ve seen those valves before to put on the end of yout pump nozzle but never thought of leaving them on the boat to use as sidetube PRVs. That is actually a good idea in hot places, even though they stick out a bit. They are rated at 0.24 bar / 3.6psi which is the same as the 0.25bar / 3.6psi standard on Seawave sidetubes (a bit more than other Gumo boats). So there may be no gain in stiffness/pressure, but the sides will certainly be protected. It may be possible to adjust the spring inside the mechanism and make it open later; I think I have seen this on other PRVs. Yes, it is a shame the super valve is no more – perhaps they were unreliable.

Hi Chris, thanks for all the really useful info, think I’ve been referencing your site since before my original purchase!. I have an original Sunny (pre PRV) bought around 2005. I think adding prv’s would be a good addition as I’m always a little worried once the sun starts shining. I fancy trying the super valve idea. Do you know if the original sunny valves are the same size as those found on the later Seawave? Also, do you think the sidewalls would be able to handle up to 4.3psi – it is the heavy original Nitrilon construction

Hi Nigel. Are you sure you don’t even have a PRV in the floor? I’m sure mine from same era did. You dont want to meddle with that (or install an original).
It may he the old heavy Nitrilon but it’s how its glued together that counts + 13 years of wear and UV. Size is the same or very similar.
4.3 is a big jump from 2.9 but if you don’t mind it going bang, give it a go ;-)

There’s definitely no PRV in the floor.
I certainly don’t want it going bang – we’ve become close friends over the years :) To date, I’ve always pumped up by feel…. using the bravo foot pump until there is noticeable resistance. So maybe my first step is to get hold of a pressure guage and see what I’m actually putting in there – and in the meantime keep purging. Thanks for your help

Perhaps you’re right. Can’t find an old pic of mine with a floor PRV. It’s the I-beam floor that’s vulnerable; the sides can take it (Cap’n).
If it’s lasted so long probably not worth the faff of installing PRVs.

Hello Chris.
I was going to add safety valves to my Seawave according to your idea.
However, at the end of last year, super valves appeared, which combine two functions – a normal valve and a safety valve:
I just bought them and put them into my Seawave. Sizes are identical to standard Gumotex valves. You don’t need to do anything, don’t need to make additional holes, just unscrew the original valve and screw in a new one.
Best regards,
Adam

It doesn’t look like super valves really took off. Thanks for all the detailed info about modifications, but I guess I’ll be going with the Ceredi PRV pressure upgrade/mod.

I wonder if I bought the last 2 then from wetworks on the weekend or they’ll string me along for a bit then say out of stock?
I also wonder if the Bravo ones proved unreliable and that’s why they were discontinued?
You’d think a super valve wouldn’t be that hard to design and that the idea in principle is a good one: fewer holes in the boat.
Or perhaps PRV and inflation functions are best left separate.

Hello Adam and Chris, My name is Thanasis, I am from Greece and I have Seawave almost 1 year now and i am interested installing prv valves beacause Greece summmer is very hot. So Adam are you satisfied with this valves? I saw at the description of these valves that they open at 0.3 bar and closed at 0.21 bar. So if you inflate the kayak and you exceed this pressure the pressure will drop at 0.21 bar?Am I right? Chris great job with this site it is very helpful!!

Thanasis, the valves work very well and I’m satisfied with this solution. In last week I paddled six days on the Vistula river without any problems. It is as you write, after exceeding the pressure of 0.3 bar, the valve opens and closes at 0.21 bar.

Hi Thorsten, will be 20% less pressure than Ceredi but can’t see why it won’t work. The diameter ø of the incision hole may be different than the Ceredi I used, but also if the rear assembly is greater overall ø it may not pass through the main valve hole as I had to do, and you’re stuck. So I would ascertain the max ø of the Leafield’s inner assembly ‘nut’ and compare to a Ceredi. This measurement wants to be same or less than a Ceredi.

Any thoughts on how to attach a flag pole to a seawave? I have to fly an alpha flag whilst supporting a swimmer and can’t think of the best way of going about it. I could just duck tape it to the side. But would prefer a gued on fitting at the back in which a flag pole would slot. Not sure how stable that would be.

Glad the write up was useful Scott.
For a flagpole, my idea would be to mount a tent pole cup/foot (load spreader) on the floor.
No need to even attach it permanently, though maybe a contoured foam base matching the floor’s ribs would help position it.
Then all you need are 3 or 4 guy lines holding the pole in place – plenty of mounts on the back of the boat.

Great website – thanks for the great info. I live just north of Brisbane in Australia. I’ve got a C2 which I picked up used on Ebay and am visiting Vancouver in Sept and pick up a new Seawave there (can’t wait).
I installed a couple of PRVs in my C2 recently and was able to squeeze the back of the Ceredi PRV sideways through the 37mm hole with a bit of effort and persistence (I was struggling to remove inflation valve so gave it a go).
I tightened with the tool and holding the back with my hand as best I could from outside the tube. To my surprise, the first one was airtight first try and the second one just needed a bit more tightening. I’ll try the same with the Seawave and let you know how I go.
This might help someone who has trouble removing the inflation valve.
Thanks again for the great info.

Thanks for the info Warren. You will love your Seawave. What is a C2, a Gumboat?

No worries Chris. Sorry, I meant K2 not C2. People do get a laugh out of seeing “K2” on the boat – it does get along ok for a whitewater boat (my wife and I get about 5km/h out of it over 10+ km on flat water but the tracking is a challenge) but FAR from the speed of the K2s most people think of.
Certainly looking forward to the Seawave.

Yes, thought you might have meant K2. Nearly bought one once – a serious, high-end (and high-pressure) WW IK, but they wanted 500 quid.

Thank you for such an excellent website Chris. It’s such a help for someone like me who is just getting into iKs.
Have you encountered any anecdotals of running other Gumotex boats overpressure?
I have a Twist and I would love to add PRVs to the side tubes but perhaps 4.78psi PRVs might be pushing the nitrilon light too far?

Glad you like the website, Rob. A mate just added Leafed C6 PRVs to an old LitePack Twist, but 3.25s (£16 ebay) – about what a Twist is supposed to run normally. I would have thought the sides of a single sidebeam IK are less prone to over-pressure damage than an I-beam floor (or twin beam side, Like incept), but then pankanels’ experience with his seawave side blowing shows it can happen. Still, I bet the pressure was a lot more than 4.8 before it finally blew.
In the end it’s a gamble meddling with manufacturer’s recommendations, but they are probably set on the safe side because of people like us and also the risk of passive over-pressureisation (like pankanel’s). And yet my old Grabner Amigo ran similarly high pressures and had no PRVs at all.
You can fit manufacturer’s rated pressure PRVs in the sides to avoid accidents like pankanel’s, or you can take the chance and fit slightly higher rated PRVs in the sides as I did to benefit from a stiffer boat which is still protected from over-pressure. I would never meddle with the floor PRV.
Your Twist is factory rated at 3psi while my Seawave is rated at 3.75. So 4.8 is a bit of a leap for a Twist but 3.25 Leafield sounds just right. No harm in doing that to protect your boat if you live in a hot place.

Excellent project Chris, am using my Seawave in Greece at present and has been amazing just knowing it’s not going to explode on me. On a slightly different note do you know the PSI rating of the floor PRV just mine seems to be contantly letting out air to the point the floor goes squashy, had it in the swimming pool and sure enough it’s letting out air – the two I’ve put in the side chambers are of course fine :-) Do I need to do a a replacement on the floor or do they sometimes get stuck? Anyway of fixing it? Thanks any help gratefully rcvd!

Hi Gareth, never happened to me but they can get stuck with a grain of sand embedded in the rubber seal. If you have the tool take it apart, clean and inspect. That should do it and if not, I guess you need to replace. Make sure it’s leaking out the valve not the sides – if yes that just means it needs tightening down. One of my other IKs need that once. I imahgine in greek heat they’re all purging away quite a lot. Chris

I would recommend that all seawave owners should follow your example-solution with the prvs.
I left my seawave one hot noon, in a sunny Greek beach (without prvs). Even though I had relieved some pressure from the boat, the result was one of the side chambers to burst. One of the seams opened and I had to paddle 9 kms with one chamber less.
I repaired it myself and retrofitted prvs. Unfortunately it opened again (even with the prvs) in exactly the same spot. Which is now a weak spot. I will have it repaired by a professional and hope.

Sorry to hear that pankanel. I also once ruined a (near new) IK once. Left in the forest on a hot day but there was a gap in the trees… BANG! (x 3).
In that case it was a Feathercraft bladder boat – easily replaced with new inserts. Fixing a burst Gumotex would be very tricky. The PRVs I used at .33 bar – about a third higher that the .25 bar rating for the Seawave. I assume the round side tubes can handle a little over-pressure, certainly better than the I-beam floor. Hope you manage to fix it.

Fortunately the professional help gave the solution and the boat is fixed and working perfectly with its prvs. Its been used and left on the beach a lot this last month, with temperatures reaching 40 C. With no problem. And the prvs opening constantly.
I would also like to comment on the K-Pump Mini. I was looking for something compact and bought it from an online shop in Poland. When I first saw it, I was disappointed. It looked small for the job. Like a very fat version of my bike pump. But when I used it I was
astonished. Side by side, it inflates the boat as fast as my high pressure Bravo foot pump or an electric Bravo foot pump. Using an extension I made using a little garden hose, some duct tape, and three of the included adaptors (vinyl tubing, boston adaptor, universal adaptor), I can now inflate the boat very fast, standing up, or even in the water. It is the best pump I have ever seen. I Imagine the bigger models will do miracles.

Good to hear a happy ending, pankanel. I also just rolled my boat up after three months inflated. Rarely got to even half of 40° but always a little top up needed after a sunny spell which means the PRVs are purging nicely. And like you say, the K-Pump Mini works great with an IK.

Much Thanks for great reviews, ideas and how to’s!!!
Just want to get your opinion on PRV valve placement.
What do you think of position pressure valve on internal side of the tube with slight down angle to prevent valve water build-up?
Much thanks for excellent resources and experience sharing!!!

Hello Vitaliy – yes I thought about that but decided it was not so important when you think that water will more often collect in the original fitted floor valve.
On the sides as I have it – much less chance.

At the Board meeting of July 10, 2022, the JUUstice Washington Board signed onto Side with Love’s position statement on climate displacement:
UU Statement of Commitment in Response to Climate-Forced Displacement
In light of the global challenge of forced displacement caused by the climate crisis, Unitarian Universalist (UU) organizations—the UU Ministry for Earth, UUs for a Just Economic Community, Side With Love, UUA Office at the United Nations, UUs for Social Justice, and the UU Service Committee—join forces to issue the following statement of solidarity and commitment:
Recognizing the interdependence of life on Earth and the accountable pursuit of justice, equity and compassion is central to creating a thriving 21st Century.
Unitarian Universalism is a faith tradition anchored in religious pluralism, the rhythms of nature, and the inherent worth and dignity of each person. The ongoing climate crisis challenges all of our core values as a faith tradition. As organizations currently or historically affiliated with Unitarian Universalism, we feel compelled to speak and act in solidarity with front-line communities facing forced climate displacement. In keeping with these principles of repair and justice, we urge governments, world leaders, corporate actors, and congregations to respond to the global challenge of climate-forced displacement by centering the human rights of affected communities.
As the climate crisis escalates, the needs of those that are suffering the worst effects of climate change—a crisis chiefly caused by carbon emissions from wealthier industrialized nations like the United States—have gained wider acknowledgment. The climate crisis is not a matter for future generations to address; it is already upon us. In early March 2022, the world’s leading climate scientists issued their starkest warning yet about the failure of global leaders to stem carbon emissions. Humanity is on pace to exceed the 1.5 degrees of warming that scientists estimate is the limit the Earth can sustain without risking an unstoppable chain reaction of climate harms.
Due to this collective policy failure, communities around the globe and in the U.S. are already facing the effects of climate destruction. Black, Indigenous, People of Color, front-line, and other oppressed and marginalized communities — who have done the least to contribute to the climate crisis historically—are facing the worst of its effects. Many of these communities have been displaced from their homes, and millions more will follow in the decades ahead. Communities across the U.S.—as well as in other countries—are already experiencing these pressures, and the reality that parts of the U.S. will become uninhabitable is increasingly hard to ignore.
This involuntary climate exile is both a global and a domestic human rights violation on a massive scale. Not only does it deprive millions of people of their rightful home, it also forces them to seek resettlement in a global community that has done little to ensure the safe and dignified reception of people seeking asylum—particularly migrants of color. In the U.S., people are forced to abandon their traditional homes and communities or look to build infrastructure mitigation strategies that outstrip the resource and financing capacity of their households and local governments.
Even as we acknowledge that climate displacement is a present reality and not a hypothetical risk, we also reject the fatalism and defeatism that would deny the possibility of further collective action to forestall or address it. To this end, we shall share the power of our voices and influence with those who have less recourse to engage decision-makers, be they elected, appointed, or corporate actors. We pledge to coordinate our advocacy in order to persuade the international and domestic community to:
Prevent further climate displacement by mitigating the effects of climate change and ensuring a just transition to clean and renewable energy sources;
Ensure—in the event of displacement that cannot be forestalled—that communities are able to relocate safely, with dignity, and in a self-determined way that respects their integrity and identity;
Provide communities with the resources they need to adapt-in-place to the effects of climate change, and to compensate for the loss and damage they have already incurred as a result of anthropogenic warming;
Redress past failures and address root harms and causes as part of our accountable behavior to those suffering harm.
Climate displacement is already occurring around the world. Our leaders have a choice as to the pace at which it unfolds and the treatment of people who endure it. We urge them to act now, before even more people are deprived of their homes.

What does it take to create quality game content for free to play game? | Talks with experts
Lenka Skalakova
Producer
Welcome to the second edition of our fall series by Pixel Federation called Talks with experts. In the first episode, we were speaking about the importance of social media for our free-to-play games. Today we gonna dig more into the production process, more specifically into the game design. So let’s hear out Janči, who has been working as a game designer for 7 years and who is our senior game designer for free to play game Diggy’s Adventure.
Tell us Janči, how did you become a game designer?
It all started out with PC games, I fell in love with them through and through from the bottom of my heart. And as I played them I wanted more and more and always dreamt that maybe someday I'll actually make my own. Then I got into pen and paper games, which are very good for your imagination and for the whole creative process. Very soon I became a game master of Dungeons and Dragons. That’s the guy who prepares the adventures, all the obstacles and conflicts for his players and someone interacts with the group and actually creates the whole experience. Then later I got into LARPing, which stands for Live Action Role Play. You know those kids, running around with foam swords? Yeah, that was me! And very soon I became an organizer that tailored these experiences for the other players, somebody who prepared the adventures, wrote the script, characters, chose the place etc. And from this background, I actually got to know a couple of people from the gaming industry and bam! There I was, a game designer. The most important thing, for the people who hired me but even for me, was not only to love games but to always think of them as an interactive experience, to understand them from the other side, not from the side of the player but from the side of the creator. And that is a very unique perspective that you need as a game designer.
So can we say that Diggy’s Adventures is perfect for you?
Yes. It’s all about tailoring stories, puzzles, and obstacles for players that enjoy the story taking place in the real world with real levels, real characters. A lot of that stuff is very near to me.
What are the responsibilities of the game designer?
Game design is actually the one part that is not programming and not graphics, but still, as we like to say, it is everything. The game designer is the one who comes up with the base concept of the game- what will the players do, what is the fun they will experience, what are emotions they will experience. When you have this base matrix ready, you expand it further- what does it mean for the game mechanics? For instance, in Diggy’s Adventures, the mechanics are digging tiles, solving puzzles and finding tools needed to solve them. We are the ones that come up with what the tools are, how will player use them, where will he take his character, where will this lead the gameplay. That is the center of Game Design core expertise, but of course, we are also responsible for the story, quest line, special game elements that will be featured and so on. Game Designer is the middleman that works it all together. When he has the concept ready, he goes to the programmers, they make it move, like a functioning skeleton built of ones and zeroes. And then GD goes to Graphics designer, who wraps the skeleton in meets, flash, and skin. So you can actually see the stuff we want you to see and that the whole world where we want you to immerse in looks like you actually want to immerse in it.
Apart from that, we cooperate with sound designers, who add sounds and music that help us to build feelings and emotions. Every single part of the process gets through the hands of the game designer. That's why we say Game Design is everything, as a whole product, the game, needs to be designed from the scratch to perfection.
Could you tell us what does it take to create game content?
For us, it’s all about team effort as we have 12 people responsible for game design and level design. Since Diggy's Adventures is driven game, it starts with the event’s quest line, when we all get together and brainstorm on what the event will be about. Then we need to decide what we want to achieve with it. Is it content that drives the story forward or is it content that keeps the player busy for a while? Is it puzzle heavy, story heavy and most importantly what is the focus? (Because one thing that you need to take care about as a Game Designer is to maintain your focus. If you don't do that, it's all over the place, the player feels it and doesn't have a good scene of game flow.) When we have this focus, we think about by what means we can accomplish that- what puzzles, characters we'll put into the location and the event. It all needs to click together. Then we go one level deeper and create the locations that comply the level quest line, which in our case are always handcrafted, no automatization whatsoever, every single location in our game is made by hand by our level designers. This makes it more believable for the player yet with a little twist that will add fun, such as rewards, loots etc.
Interesting. And what is the most challenging for Game Designer?
To maintain the fine balance between entertainment and challenge. Because the player wants both, even though he doesn't admit the challenge part that much :) Then you need to keep the focus on your vision and still come up with the fresh ideas that don’t contradict the base game design and that's is quite challenging! This is especially true in F2P game playing, where we create a game as a long-term service.
And now it’s your turn guys, join the Facebook group called Free to play game developers and feel free to start a discussion about Game Design.

Shimron Hetmyer, Dwayne Bravo and Andre Russell were among West Indies players were retained by their Indian Premier League franchises on Wednesday. However, several others were cut loose and will re-enter the pool of players eligible for the IPL Draft coming up on February 11.
Hetmyer was retained by the Delhi Capitals ahead of the 2021 auction, despite a lukewarm season in which he scored 185 runs in 11 innings at an average of 23.12 and a strike rate of 148.
However, his compatriots Keemo Pail and Sherfane Rutherford were not as fortunate as they were both released having failed to force their way into the starting line ups for the Capitals and the Mumbai Indians, respectively.
Not surprisingly, Kieron Pollard has been retained by the 2020 champions Mumbai Indians. Pollard was an influential figure in the Indians set up and captained the team in the absence of Rohit Sharma, who was sidelined with a hamstring injury at the back end of the season.
Pollard’s compatriot, Dwayne Bravo, who suffered a season-ending injury in 2020, was retained by the Chennai Super Kings. Bravo won the Purple Cap in the 2013 and 2015 seasons. In 2013, he took 32 wickets during the IPL, the most ever for in an IPL, and he continues to be a game-changer for the Super Kings.
Meanwhile, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine were both retained by the Kolkata Knight Riders even after less than stellar seasons. Christopher Gayle and Nicholas Pooran were deservedly retained by the Kings XI Punjab.
Jason Holder, who was signed by the Sunrisers Hyderabad, after Mitchell Marsh suffered an injury early in the season, was retained by the franchise.
It was not all good news for Sheldon Cottrell who was released by Kings XI Punjab after a disappointing season. He was signed for more than USD$1 million. Fabian Allen and Oshane Thomas were released by the Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals, respectively.

CWI thanks Deandra Dottin for her outstanding value to West Indies Women’s cricket
Cricket West Indies (CWI) on Monday expressed gratitude to Deandra Dottin for her valuable contributions and her numerous outstanding performances during her stellar 14-year career as a member of the West Indies Women’s Team. The dynamic allrounder announced her retirement from international cricket, last week.
“On behalf of all here at CWI, I want to congratulate Deandra on what has been an outstanding career covering almost a decade-and-a-half, during which time she has contributed immensely to Barbados and West Indies cricket. Her outstanding achievements on the field of play are a testament to her dedication, commitment and hard work which were the hallmark of her approach to the game. We wish her all the success possible in her future endeavours,” said CWI Director of Cricket Jimmy Adams.
Courtney Walsh, West Indies Women’s Head Coach said, “Deandra is one of the most athletic and dynamic players in the history of Women’s cricket and I want to take this opportunity to congratulate her on what has been 14 years of performance excellence for the West Indies. During my time as Head Coach, I have been able to see her brilliance up close on the field, and she always gave it everything.”
Dottin made her international debut in Ireland in June 2008 and was a fixture in the team in both One-Day Internationals and T20 Internationals since. She played 143 ODIs and 124 T20Is for West Indies. She is a three-dimensional player as a powerful batter, brisk medium-fast bowler and livewire in the outfield, which enabled her to quickly rise to be rated among the best allrounders in the history of the women’s game.
In One Day Internationals (ODIs) she made 3,727 runs, with a top score of 150 not out and took 72 wickets with best figures of 5-34. In T20 Internationals (T20Is) she made 2,681 runs with two memorable centuries and also took 62 wickets with best figures of 5-5. Her finest hour came when she was part of the West Indies team which defeated Australia to win the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup title in Kolkata in April 2016. She also had one of the most memorable feats in cricket history which catapulted her to stardom when she made her maiden T20I century – 112 not out off 45 balls against South Africa in St. Kitts in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2010.
India spinners rip through Windies to secure 4-1 series win
Ravi Bishnoi claimed career-best Twenty20 International figures as India thrashed West Indies by 88 runs in Fort Lauderhill to win the series 4-1.
Shreyas Iyer top scored with 64 off 40 balls and Deepak Hooda made 38 as India posted 188-7 in the final match of the series in Florida on Sunday,
The Windies were skittled out for 100 in reply, with all 10 wickets falling to spinners for the first time in a T20I.
Bishnoi took 4-16, while Axar Patel (3-15) and Kuldeep Yadav (3-12) also capitalised on West Indies' batting frailties as Shimron Hetmyer (56) scored over half of their runs.
India were not fazed by losing Ishan Kishan early on, Iyer and Hooda putting on 76 for the second wicket to put them on course to an imposing total.
Iyer finally fell to Jason Holder after Hayden Walsh saw the back of Hooda, but captain Hardik Pandya made a brisk 28 before he was run out by Odean Smith.
Smith (3-33) claimed his third scalp by sending Axar (9) packing in the final over, but the Windies were soon in big trouble in the run chase.
Axar bowled Holder for a duck with the third ball of the innings before getting Shamarh Brooks (13) stumped and the tweaker also cleaned up Devon Thomas (10) in the fifth over.
Kuldeep stepped up to remove West Indies skipper Nicholas Pooran, reducing the Windies to 50-4, before Bishnoi trapped Rovman Powell (9) and Keemo Paul (0) lbw with successive balls.
Hetmyer was running out of partners as the procession of wickets continued, with the left-hander falling to Bishnoi, who then finished off the job by getting Obed McCoy caught in the deep.
India put Windies in a spin
Bishnoi was outstanding as the Windies failed a trial by spin, with Axar and Kuldeep also tormenting Pooran's side.
The excellent Bishnoi took four wickets for the first time in the shortest format at international level, ending the series on a high note.
Iyer shows his class
With such competition for places in a T20 World Cup year, Iyer gave another exhibition of his class.
He struck two sixes and another eight boundaries, setting India on their way to a total that was far too many for the Windies.
Ashmini Munisar to lead Windies Women U19 for five T20I's against USA
The Cricket West Indies (CWI) Women’s Selection Panel on Sunday announced the West Indies Women’s U19 squad for their upcoming five-match T20 International (T20I) Series against USA Women’s U19. The two teams will meet at the Broward County Stadium in Florida from 8 to 14 August.
The 12-member squad will be led by Ashmini Munisar with Shalini Samaroo as the vice-captain. The selectors originally named 15 players but three were unable to secure visas to make the tour. Munisar is a right-handed batter and off-spinner, while Samaroo is a left-handed batter and off-spinner.
The team has a number of other exciting all-rounders that include Djenada Joseph, who was the leading run-maker in the CWI Rising Stars U19 T20 tournament played last month. The most experienced player is Zaida James, the left-handed batter, who was travelling reserve for the West Indies Women’s Senior team earlier this year. Last year she represented West Indies Women’s “A” Team against Pakistan's “A” Team.
Steve Liburd has been appointed head coach. Liburd is a former Leeward Islands batsman and West Indies Men’s U19s assistant coach. Merissa Aguilleira, the former West Indies Women’s captain, is the team manager.
Both teams have qualified for the inaugural ICC Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup taking place in South Africa in January 2023 and this upcoming series will be ideal preparation for the global event.
“History has been created with the selection of this West Indies Under-19 team. No cricket tournaments were played during the pandemic, and it was therefore not only important, but also an eye-opener to view the girls in the recent U19 tournament,” said Ann Browne-John, Lead Selector for West Indies Women.

I recently read a post called “Are Wives Supposed to Obey Their Husbands?” Uh…of course, they shouldn’t was my first thought. One of my marriage tips is to always be your own person.
A section in the posts says that there shouldn’t be two leaders and you should voice your opinions to your husband and then allow him to lead and decide.
As someone who believes in both partners being equal in a marriage, it’s pretty easy to say that this post rubbed me the wrong way.
I walked away from reading the post and really thought about what the writer was saying. I still don’t agree with her, but I do respect her thoughts on marriage. Her view comes from her relationship with God. Submitting to her husband is part of her religious beliefs. However, I am not a religious person and do not agree that women should obey their husbands.
With that said the post taught me not to judge how others do things in their marriage. That’s the beauty of us humans we have different views, opinions and religious beliefs and that’s OK! If you want to better your marriage keep reading and decide for yourself what is right for your marriage.
Why I Don’t Obey My Husband
We are equals and I don’t think of either of us as the leader in our marriage. We equally parent, we both contribute to the household income, we both parent our children and we both share household responsibilities. In my opinion, that makes us equal in our marriage.
We learn from each other every single day. I feel like not being submissive to my husband allows us to learn from each other. We are open to hearing feedback and criticism from each other. We have an open and healthy dialogue and I think that is very important in a marriage.
[Tweet “Marriage is an equal partnership. One doesn’t dominate the other”]
I am an individual with my own opinions and views. My opinions and views are not always going to match those of my husband. If I was to obey my husband and always do as he said, I would lose who I was as a person.
His way isn’t always the right way. There are plenty of times when my husband makes the decision in our home but sometimes his way isn’t the right way and vice versa. Having two leaders in the home allows you to both come up with an effective plan that normally works. Both parties are on board and have compromised to come up with a solution.
I’d love to continue this topic in the comments. However, please respect both sides of the argument. I do not believe that I am right or that the other poster is right, we are just different and I LOVE that!

In 2018, Locaboat will be adding to its fleet by welcoming a new boat: the Pénichette Evolution®. It’s a Pénichette® canal barge that is innovative and ultra-modern, designed to meet all your needs and expectations. It has been tailor-made in one of Europe’s finest boatyards. Ophélie Barrière, Deputy Managing Director and Florence Menguy, Locaboat’s Operations Manager, give an account of this fantastic adventure.
How did this project come about?
Ophélie: In our business, we have to renew our boats regularly to meet the ever-changing demands of customers and to persuade new clients to take their first steps in leisure boating and try out our kind of holiday.
Florence: You also have to remember that boats are built to do a job. After 20 years or so, you replace them with a more recent, more modern model.
Ophélie: From the start, we set our target quite high and said to ourselves that we’ve got to design a boat that allows us to promote our leisure business and attract people who don’t know anything about this kind of tourism. We wanted to look at it from the point of view of novice sailors. All along, our main aim was to innovate in order to make things easier for our customers.
How did the initial work go?
Ophélie: The team got together to think about the needs of our customers. We have 40 years of experience in this sector and every year we collect 3,000 questionnaires completed by customers when they return from their cruise. So we were inspired by all the information our clients gave us and we tried to put ourselves in the shoes of someone who had never tried a self-drive boat. The main aim was to understand what kinds of things were holding people back from trying out our holidays for the first time.
How did you choose the boatyard?
Florence: The project arose from a meeting between Linssen and Locaboat . Linssen is a Dutch boatyard that’s been in the business for 60 years and has a reputation for excellence. It is widely admired in the world of inland waterways cruising. You could call it the Rolls Royce of river and canal boats. Linssen approached Locaboat because they wanted to develop new types of river and canal boats and thought that Locaboat could be a good partner for new projects.
Ophélie: Our two companies have many features in common in terms of our business culture, size and values. For example, we have the same regard for quality and attention to detail. Also, just like us, Linssen is a company that has a real family feel about it. In essence, this collaboration sprang from a shared desire to work together on a project.
Where was this boat built?
Ophélie: At their boatyard, in Maasbracht in southern Holland on the Maas.
Once you had decided on the boatyard, what were the first steps in the launch of the project?
Florence: We drew up a list of specifications covering customers’ priorities: comfort, safety, manoeuvrability etc. For example, these days most customers want an on-board electricity supply with no restrictions. It’s also important to design the boat so that its operation and maintenance are as simple as possible for many years to come. It’s a combination of technical and practical requirements.
Ophélie: We worked closely through constant communication between the two companies, to properly explain the objectives we wanted to achieve with the boat, while benefiting from their vast experience.
So who went on to design the boat?
Florence: The Linssen boatyard has its own genius with the magic touch, if I can call him that. He’s the son of the founder of the company. He produced the first drawings and then there was a period of discussion. We thought very hard about it: “Does that really look like a Pénichette®?”; “The boat needs to look more rounded”; “The nose needs to be higher”. There was a lot of to-ing and fro-ing.
What was it like when you first saw the boat?
Ophélie: We very quickly moved on from the drawing to the scale model. Every two to three months we had long meetings. They very soon told us: “You have to come back; we’ve got something to show you. You’ll be able to see 3D models of the boat”. We were expecting to see a scale model, which is the traditional way of doing things, or a computer image at best.
Florence: We were expecting to see a scale model displayed on a table, which we’d have to examine closely with a magnifying glass.
Ophélie: Except that they’d made a life-size steel model, nine metres long, that we could actually walk around. It was quite a surprise.
Florence: Inside, all the furnishings had been made in polystyrene and the bulkheads were made of cardboard. That really was something!
Ophélie: Then there were several repeat visits. Many points of view had to be brought together: the views of the engineer, naval architect, developer and, most important of all, the customer. Naturally, the aim was to agree on the best possible product. Such a product is always the result of a compromise. We worked very hard to satisfy everyone’s needs. Based on the initial model, we then moved on to the water to carry out real tests, and finally we tested it out on customers. They stepped aboard and we learnt a lot from them. Many improvements were made on the basis of the real tests of the prototype on our most demanding customers.
Are there many different skills involved in building a Pénichette®?
Florence: Of course! There are all the people who work with steel, boiler-making, welding. Then there are the plumbers, carpenters, leather-workers, painters and mechanics.
Is it quite impressive to see this Pénichette® being built little by little?
Ophélie: Yes, because we are building a boat that is going to cruise for over 20 years on rivers and canals. That’s quite a lot of pressure!
How long did this project take?
Florence: We took our time. It was nearly three years.

Throughout my life, my answer to the question ‘where are you from?’ had been frowned upon. Having lived in some of the world’s most diverse places, I had become accustomed to the lack of and understanding that surrounded Pakistan. While I always made it a point to educate those within my reach, the urge to do more
constantly nagged at me. I searched for platforms where I could contribute and fulfill what felt like a duty as a Pakistani but struggled to find anything as such.
So, I created Land of the Pure. Until a few months ago, Land of the Pure didn’t exist but since then, we have grown exponentially. With followers from all over the world, Land of the Pure aims to bring the best of Pakistan to the spotlight. The rich, wholesome culture, mesmerizing landscape and economic potential need to be
explored – and this is exactly what we do. Each week, we publish articles guiding the reader through Pakistan. We focus on current affairs, landmarks, history and cultural events making sure to help our readers explore the depths of the country. Our website is filled with pieces written by many young, talented writers.

As a passionate writer, I also wanted to make my organisation a platform for young writers to publish their writing. We strive to showcase as much writing as possible and encourage you to submit articles to us too! At this stage, we have featured writing from people based in the UK, the UAE and the US and are continuing to expand our horizons. As well as this, Land of the Pure has also recently started
publishing article series. Just a few weeks ago we inaugurated our ‘Ramadan in Pakistan’ series in which we publish articles discussing different aspects of the Holy Month and specifically focusing on how it is celebrated across Pakistan. We have also recently started our ‘Quarantine Creativity’ competition in which we have challenged our followers to submit something they think represents Pakistan in
whichever form they want – this can be writing, artwork, photography – absolutely anything! Our purpose is to bring potential and talent to the spotlight, regardless of what form that may be in.
This organization and all the work we do is very, very close to me and something I am greatly passionate about. Our influence may be little or massive, but we will continue to put in as much work possible because that is who we are as Pakistanis – resilient and determined.

This past weekend revolved around viewings for auctions. There are four being held in the local area this week, so getting a clear idea of where to go and what to bid for (and how much) is crucial, especially as I have to rely on my beloved to bid for me while I’m doing the day job.
Here’s a few items that I picked out:
These enamel Butlin’s badges were mementos of someone’s 60s holidays:
This child’s garden roller has seen a lot of love, imagine the pleasure that it must have given a child back in the 50s:
Mickey Mouse Garden Roller
This unusual green and white enamel kitchen scale uses weights sliding along bars to measure what’s in the tray:

This wonderfully retro radio in red and cream was once some teenagers pride and joy!

Matthew 6:33, "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
Think
Social media is a gold mine of viral videos. Some people are surprised if their posts reach viral status, but others create content with the goal of gaining mass public recognition. Some of the most famous videos show people helping others in need or doing "random" acts of kindness. If no one ever saw those moments except the giver, the recipient, and God, would the gift or kind act have any less value? No. In fact, it might have more value because the motivation to give was selfless, not selfish!
We extend the love of God when our motivation is not the praise of others, but making an eternal impact. When we give selfishly, we give ourselves glory. But when we give selflessly, we see God move, and He gets the glory!
God loves us selflessly, and He displayed it best when He GAVE His Son, Jesus, to pay off our sin debt. He showed His love by what He gave, and we should love the same way — not for the recognition of others, but because of our love for them.
Act
Make a list of the top five reasons you give. Write them down and pray that God would increase your faith as you step out and become more generous and selfless in your giving.
Pray
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your selfless love. Help me seek You in everything I do, including my motivation for giving. Increase my faith in You and my love for You and others as I follow your example of selflessness. In Jesus' name, Amen.

BURBANK, CA – OCTOBER 27: Actor Joe Turkel attends Son Of Monsterpalooza held at Burbank Marriott Airport Hotel & Convention Center on October 27, 2012 in Burbank, California. (Photo by Albert L. Ortega/Getty Images)

Joe Turkel, a prolific character actor in films like The Shining and Blade Runner, has died. He was 94.
Turkel died on Monday at St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, Calif. Variety was the first to report the news.
“So sad to share that great friend and client Joe Turkel has passed away,” Chris Carbaugh, a representative for Turkel, said in a statement to PEOPLE. “Joe was a lightning bolt and he was very passionate to talk about films, baseball and life. Every time we spoke he was quick to crack a bad joke and make me laugh.”
RELATED: Vangelis, Oscar-Winning Composer of Chariots of Fire and Blade Runner, Dead at 79
Turkel is best known for his supporting roles in Stanley Kubrick’s films, The Killing, Paths of Glory and The Shining, in which he played the ghostly bartender, Lloyd. He also starred in the original 1982 Blade Runner as replicant creator Eldon Tyrell.
Never miss a and TV credits spanning over four decades, Turkel appeared in notable films, such as King Rat, The Sand Pebbles, and The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.
He also appeared in director Bert I. Gordon’s films, Tormented, The Boy and the Pirates and Village of the Giants. His final film, The Dark Side of the Moon, premiered in 1990.
RELATED: Andy Griffith Show Star Maggie Peterson Dead at 94
For his TV performances, Turkel appeared in episodes of popular shows, including The Lone Ranger, S.W.A.T, The Andy Griffith Show, and Miami Vice. Before retiring, his last credit was a voice role in a 1997 Blade Runner video game spinoff.

“He was very proud of being the only actor to do 3 Stanley Kubrick films and loved to share his experiences with family, friends and fans,” Carbaugh told PEOPLE. “He was an old Brooklyn boy and loved seeing his brother, 2 sons and grandkids.”
Story continues
Turkel was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1927 and served under the U.S. Army in the European Theater of Operations during World War II.
A representative told Variety that before his death, Turkel had written a memoir titled The Misery of Success, which will be published by his family later this year. Turkel is survived by his two sons, two daughter-in-laws, and brother David Turkel.
“I will always appreciate the time we got to spend with this legend,” Carbaugh told PEOPLE. “Your money is no good here Mr. Turkel…you will ALWAYS be more human than human.”

Ahh, so my boyfriend, proving as always to be a world-class Steph expert is getting me a Kindle for our one-year anniversary. Which, for those of you who know, happened two months ago but he wanted to get me the new generation so he asked for an extension. We're not big gifts people so I didn't feel like I missed much... And then I found out he was getting me a KINDLE. AH!
BUT. Since there's the white option, and the graphite option, I have no idea which one to choose. He also knows this. He says graphite. My brother says white.
I'm so indecisive that I'm going to defer this to you. Help! There's a poll below so feed readers, please join in!

Hey! For some reason, this embedded comment form makes most people click twice before the comment is processed and published. It's not you - it's just that it's a new Blogger feature with kinks and all that. (But I adore it and don't wanna get rid of it!) I removed Captcha to make the process easier. You don't have to rewrite the comments twice; just click on SUBMIT twice and it should work. If not, email me. Thanks! -Steph

Frameless voice coil actuators (VCA), also known as un-housed VCAs, are sold in pairs of coil and field assemblies. These assemblies are required to be aligned within the customer's application. Frameless VCAs are the most cost effective and versatile types of linear actuators, allowing customers to integrate them into their systems in a way that is best suited for the application. VCA technology features many inherent advantages, such as direct-drive, zero backlash and cog free operation for accurate motion, as well as high acceleration and use of a single phase.

I subscribe to SiriusXM radio in my car and am wondering if there’s a way I can also listen to it on my computer, either at home or in the office. Is that even possible?
I’m a big fan of SiriusXM but I have to admit that the company’s pricing strategy and subscriber plans are a bit confusing. As of a while ago, they announced that all subscriptions would include online streaming, so theoretically your car XM subscription should allow you to have an online streaming subscription too. Maybe. Then again, when you go to sign up online, it might tell you that you need to upgrade, so I’m not entirely sure what will happen!
Let’s hope for the best, however, and hope that your in-vehicle subscription also entitles you to listen to their streaming service online. Then I can show you how I use the online service, which I probably listen to more than XM in the car, particularly nowadays.
To start, go to the SiriusXM site from your computer. That’s at On the top right you should see “manage my account” or “login” or similar. Click on that and you’ll see the main customer menu:
Notice the choice highlighted on the left: “Get My Username to Listen Online“. That’s what you’ll want to choose. Then enter your billing information and if your account supports online listening, you’ll be able to easily set up a account! If not, well, I suggest you reach out to customer service and find out why it’s not included and whether they can add it to your subscription. Good luck.
Once you’re set up, log in to the site and you’ll see a big cheery home screen like this:
The strip along the bottom is based on my favorites and we’ll get back to those momentarily! For now, let’s focus on the top menu:
Unfortunately your in-car favorites aren’t saved so you’ll have to reselect them. Go through Discover if you want to maybe expand and add a few new channels – and there are hundreds of streaming only channels too! – or you can use the Search feature to find and favorite your old, well, favorites.
Here’s one great thing about the online interface; once you’ve set up your favorites, clicking on “Favorites” not only shows them, but shows what they’re all playing right now:
The “Xtra Channel” are streaming only and they don’t show what’s playing, disappointingly, but notice that four of my six do show current songs. “Turning Japanese” by the Vapors? Haven’t heard that in a while! A click and I’m listening.
Next up, “Mad World” from Tears For Fears”. A much better song in my opinion!
Here’s what the little XM player on the bottom of the Web page shows:
The player is a bit rudimentary and for years customers have asked XM to have a standalone player app – or even a Web interface you can shrink down and float – but so far, nada. There are some third party apps you can investigate, but I haven’t had much luck with any of them, sorry to report.
I just have a bookmark for and leave it open in a tab within my browser. Easy enough as a less optimal choice. Functional.
Oh, and if you’re listening while in Google Chrome, you can use Chromecast to push the audio to any Cast-compatible device in your home or office too. A click on the Cast icon on the right side of the player pops up a menu of your options:
So I could very easily push XM to my Google Home speaker in my kitchen, as you can see. All in all, once you get used to the quirks of their interface, it is pretty darn functional and a great way to enjoy all those XM stations outside of your car. And don’t forget, once you have it set up, you can download the Sirius XM app for your iPhone or Android, log in, and listen from your mobile device too!

Sometime this week I'll be revisiting the cinnamon oil to benzaldehyde method utilizing insitu steam distillation, same method I used before with good results. I'll be taking a few photos of the new run, but I'm not sure if the mods want me posting pictures of a technique that's already been documented in this thread (server space, and all thaged somewhere around 80% conversion to benzaldehyde (mass I think, rather than molar conversion) from cinnamaldehyde, so it'll be interesting to see how I get on this time around. I'm using a different cinnamon bark oil supplier this time, but again I'll be distilling the cinnamaldehyde from the cinnamon oil as I did before. I'll be processing one single kg bottle of cinnamon oil into benzaldehyde. The final product will be double vacuum distilled and stabilized with a dash of hydroquinone for storage.

while im not a mod, I feel a "peach syle" pictorial would be a welcome addition to this lengthy thread. Perhaps even an artical for prepublication. It seems that "*** to benzaldehyde" questions are popular with newbies around here. Can't think of why, though...

Mood: Stiw up to my earlier pictorial(s) some years back.
Whenever I revisit old teks, since I already know what works, in the interest of improvement I sometimes opt to change one variable to see what (if anything) works better. Its already been recommended that I could try raising the pH higher, so I can give that a go and see if the benzaldehyde conversion is higher.
If anyone has any suggestions as to what might improve this method
This approach uses the same setup as the last steam distillation variation graphically depicted in in this thread.
Basically, the items used were:
hot plate, pressure cooker steam generator & associated tubing, etc
3L 3-neck RBF & mantle
vigreux column, right angle bend & still head
condenser
Vacuum pump & glassware for purfying the final product & recycling unreacted cinnamaldehyde.
chemicals: 2 litres tap water, lecithin, cinnamon oil, NaOH
Essentially, a large reaction vessel and a means of steam & vacuum distilling are all the equipment really required.
Begin by setting up all equipment, add 2 L water & ~1.5g lecithin.
The first variation is to use OTC sodium hydroxide instead of sodium carbonate, simply add the alkali to adjust the pH within the range of 12-13, only small amounts are required.
The second variation is to slowly drip in the cinnamon oil during the course of the reaction, the benzaldehyde being steam distilled as it forms. Begin the addition once the pH adjusted solution has heated to boling temperature and the steam is passing though the solution.
The third variation is to stop the cinnamon oil addition after 5 min, then check the distillate. If benzaldehyde is clearly distilling over, then continue with the addition.
A crude test is to simply taste the steam distillate as it drips into the receiving vessel, if it burns your tongue off, then you're doing well. If it tastes sweet, then significant quantities of cinnamon are being carried over. Should this not change after a short while, then double check the pH !
Provided that the pH is correct and the cinnamaldehyde content is high (70%+) then benzaldehyde laden distillate should start collecting almost immediately after the addition has begun.
However, if it is not, wait for the benzadehyde to start collecting, THEN continue with the addition. This prevents unnecessary amounts of cinnamaldehyde being steam distilled at the start of the process, which is a serious problem with the old batch mode reaction.
Note that by slowly dripping the cinnamon oil instead of adding it all at once to the reaction mix, single run conversion is increased by 20-30%.
Ensure the rate of cinnamon oil drip rate is approximately equivalent to the quantity of oil being steam distilled, thus maintaining high dilution in the reaction mixture.
After 300 to 500 ml of cinnamon oil had been added, the drip rate is stopped and the steam distillation continued until all the aldehyde has been steam distilled from the reaction mix. If using less than 2L of water, then adjust proportionally to maintain the same dilution. At this point, dump the mix and replace with clean pH adusted water with at least ~1.5g lecithin.
This step removes tar and other junk that slows down the reaction and reduces benzaldehyde production. Significantly reduced tar formation will also result from periodically carrying out this step (very imporant if high yields are desired).
Also note that with this method, the pH tends to slowly drop over time during the course of the steam distillation, so check the pH every couple hours, and top up with NaOH if and when required. Its preferable to simply add small amounts concentrated NaOH solution when topping up, using a dropper makes the alkali addition much simpler since NaOH pellets will rapidly collect moisture and stick to the sides of the reaction vessel.
Efficiency is further improved if the steam distillate (after oil separation) is also extracted with DCM, though this isn't absolutely necessary.
Once the the product oil is pooled, vacuum distillation will remove the benzaldehyde - no need to vacuum distill the recycle cinnamon aldehyde, just drip it into the steam distillation vessel, just as with the cinnamon oil feed. Expect the quantity of unreacted cinnamon aldehyde to be circa 25%, but if the reaction mix was kept clean during the process then it may be considerably less. The benzaldehyde distillate is clear, & much purer than the original solvent extraction method that doesn't employ the steam distillation. Give the batch solvent extraction a rest folks, use the steam distillation variation if producing benzaldehyde from cinnamon oil!
Far, far less work.
Using the above approach, overall molar conversion to benzdehyde is at least 80%.
I’ve managed higher conversion efficiencies (~90%), but the reaction efficiency is subject to variation according to varying reaction conditions, i.e. feed rate, reaction mix volume (i.e. dilution), and the quantity of cinnamon oil fed to the reaction mix before changing the solution. >80% seems to be a realistic overall figure.
Also...
Remember to keep the reaction mix free of tar & cinnamon oil impurities as much as possible to give consistent high yields.
If dripping the aldehyde into the mixture isn't practical for any reason, you can periodically add the cinnamon oil in small batches, say 20-50 ml at a time to give good conversion, but expect a little more cinnamonaldehyde to distill over.

AWSOME cyclonight
What I recomend is to drip say 200ml of cinamon oil into the boiling solution of water with NaOH and steam being blow through it as you did earlier, but this time, make the ph of around 13.5 to 14 and maybe you mght get pure benzaldehyde out the other side. I'm certain you'll loose some product in the process but if you can get say a quick, 60ml to 100ml of pure benzaldehyde out of say 200ml of cinamon oil without having to do a vacuum disstilation, than to me that process is better than any because it would be a quick and easier way of getting a quick small amount of benzaldehyde when we need it. I'm happy to loose say 140 ml of cinnamon oil if I know I'll get 60ml of pure benzaldehyde from it in a simple, quick process that doesnt require as much effort, time, equipment and money.
GO FOR IT CYCLONIGHT !!!!!!!!

Postsproblem, any and all input appreciated.
I plan to first run through the 1 kg of oil using the previous tek just to see how much benzaldehyde it will yield from 1 litre of oil, but I'll do a surplus run (200 ml or so) with extra oil I have and I'll report back the single pass conversion efficiency at the higher pH.
Well anyhow, we're rolling now. Benzaldehyde is flowing nicely, got around 70 ml so far and its only been a few hours since I fired it all up. Lots of pictures taken, will post the images and write up later in the week after this little project is completed.

Volumetric flask making itself useful
As each litre of condensate comes off, the residual oil at the bottom is drawn off and kept separate, and then the condensate is extracted with two 30 ml portions of dichloromethane. The pooled DCM extracts are kept together, and later the DCM will be reclaimed and the aldehyde residue vacuum distilled.

THESE PICS ARE AMAZING !!!!!
Asking questions is the best way to understand anythings in a few days.
No sooner had I set up all the equipment and began the vac distillation of the cinnamon oil, the mag stirrer failed on the stirrer mantle. This has slowed down things somewhat, and I won't be able to reprocess the recycled (unreacted) cinnamaldehyde since I've run out of time. The cinnamon oil was used as is, without vac distilling.
From 1000 g of cinnamon oil, slowly dripped into the pH 12.5rly a litre of dichloromethane extracts (2*30ml DCM used per litre condensate).
The DCM extracts were distilled to recover the DCM, yielding about 150 ml of oil remaining (estimated, forgot to weigh).
That oil from the DCM extracts, combined with the free oil, was then vacuum distilled. This proved impossible without magnetic stirring, so had to use an oil bath. The bumping was very severe, even with the vigreux column it was impossible to distill of the benzaldehyde without the aldhyde bumpin't that accurate) and benzaldehyde came over at around 105 deg C.
Total benzaldehyde collected = 568 g.
Total residue remaining = 154 g (to be recycled later in next retro-aldol reaction).
Assuming residue is cinnamaldehyde, then that equates to 79% benzaldehyde, and 21% cinnamaldehyde.
Cinnamaldehyde ~ 132.16 amu
Benzaldehyde ~ 106.12 amu
1000 g cinnamon oil (assuming 100% cinnamaldehyde) is 7.56 mol.
e pass molar efficiency was 70.7 %. If the starting cinnamon oil wasn't 100% cinnamaldehyde, then the true figure will be higher.
This doesn't take the unreacted cinn) = recoverable oil of which 79% will be benzaldehyde, 87.8 g.
This combined with original yield of 568 g, would then be 655 g, increasing the overall molar efficiency to 81.6 %.
The reaction flask solution was changed each morning, and not changed nor pH adjusted for the entire day. pH was adjusted by adding a round teaspoon of NaOH. Also, two lecithin pills were dropped in.
On the first day I experimented a bit, and added the cinnamon oil in 20 cc doses, but I stopped as this was reducing efficiency (and more tar too) and causing too much cinnamaldehyde to distill over. Maximum efficiency is attained by using a very slow drip rate. I dripped in about 40 ml or so per hour.
About 33 ml of free oil was deposited for each litre of steam condensate. Cinnamon oil drip rate was adjusted to match.
About 6 g of benzaldehyde will dissolve in 1 litre of pure water, and there are always oil droplets floating in solution, hence the reason for the DCM extractions. Towards the end I found that a single 30 ml DCM extraction gets most of the oil out, so two DCM extractions is probably a bit excessive.
It might be handy to know the vapour pressures at 100 deg C.
Benzaldehyde ~ 8 kPa
Cinnamaldehyde ~ 0.6 kPa
Water ~ 101.3 kPa
Took me a while to find the aldehyde values at 100 C, so thought would include them here. These can be used along with each oil concentration in the boiling solution (if known) to calculate the theoretical distribution in the steam condensate (assuming perfect mixing).

Lets cook up some benzaldehyde..
Photo update to my last post.
Chemicals needed:
1 kg cinnamon oil
10g NaOH
10g lecithin
Equipment needed:
Pressure cooker
Hob (1500W)
Heating mantle (or oil bath)
Glassware (3L RBF, vigreux column, stillhead, condenser, separating funnel(s), stoppers, fittings & glass tube for steam injection to corrosive mixture)
Aquarium tubing
Aquarium water pump (for cooling condenser)
Receiving vessel(s)
Vacuum pump will be required for final vac distillation, though in a pinch, steam distillation could be used instead (with neutral pH solution instead of 12.5 pH).
Disused kitchen corner
Get the gear out
General setup
Chemicals, from left to right, lecithin, cinnamon oil and sodium hydroxide.
There's virtually no pressure, so any tubing fitting will do.
The aquarium tubing is run from the pressure cooker to a straight glass tube through a stopper in the 3L round bottom flask. Simples.
Cinnamon oil. The more the merrier, but for this experiment I've used 1 kg.
The pH is set once per day, to around 12.5 (this required 1 rounded teaspoon of NaOH granules), and then checked every few hours with the pH paper skewer.
I find that the pH remained fine without topping up until emptying and replacing the solution the following day. 2 lecithin capsules were also added.
Ready to rock'n roll.
Go slowly, about one drop of cinnamon oil every few seconds is a good start.
16 drops per ml, aim for around 40ml addition per hour.
The purpose of the heating mantle heating the 3L RBF is to keep it hot enough that it won't condense steam from the pressure cooker and a little extra heat is needed to keep condensate from the insides and vigreux column reflux from filling the RBF up with water. A medium heat setting is all that's needed.
Going good.
Extracting each litre of condensate with dichloromethane as the condensate is produced.
Here we're producing about a litre of condensate per hour. There's about 33 ml of free oil sitting at the bottom of each litre that comes off, and there traction to get the oil droplets and dissolved oil out, before you throw this down the sink (I did 2 x 30 ml extractions, but 1 is probably enough).
I occ quick succession.
1000g of cinnamon oil and 3 days later I have 560 g steam distilled oil (free oil) and about a litre of dichloromethane extracts.
Time to distill off the dichloromethane from the extracts, and then vacuum distill the residue and the condensate oil.
This oil (from DCM extractions combined with free oil) was later determined to be 79% benzaldehyde, with the remainder comprised mostly of unreacted cinnamaldehyde.
Stirrer mantle broke shortly after beginning this project, so had to make do with an oil bath.
Vac pump
Benzaldehyde
More refractive benzaldehyde porn...
Nearly enough to fill a 750 cc bottle, 568 g.
Leftover cinnamaldehyde mixture from vac distillation
Total product from 1 kg of cinnamon oil, 568 g benzaldehyde and 154 g of cinnamaldehyde residue still to be recycled in the next lot.

No worries chaps, this retro-aldol variation is actually one of my favourite reactions so it's all good fun. With the smell of cherries propagating the house, sometimes it does seem more like cooking that chemistry...
...except when the following morning you check your product beaker (that you forgot to rinse), only to find your exotic sauce cuisine oxidised to benzoic acid crystals.
Having fun in the kitchen it may be, baking brownies it isn't.
As a wise person once said "You ain't in Kansas anymore, Dorothy.".
One last point regarding the drip rate.
I mentioned before to try to balance drip rate with visible oil in the steam condensate, just remember to add an extra 20% to the drip rate (assuming 1 litre per hour steam condensate) to account for dissolved benzaldehyde in the steam condensate (~6 ml litre).
No point adding more oil if it won't steam distill, what doesn't steam distill will inevitably turn to tar in the flask, so overdoing it will reduce the % yield of benzaldehyde.

i am not looking for spoon feeding however if i could only have 1 mouthfull of spoon feed info on the best direction to benzaldehyde from my location in \\uk that would be most appreceated....
i cant go this diriction i cant go that direction..all because of my ffff location and chem avalability..
if some kind chemist out there from the uk
could even pm me on a good route for me to go
or post....as there probebly more than just me in the same
posistion...
i would be much greatfull to them
and i prommis not to post anymore crap untill i come up
with somthing good
t get toluene and oxidants in the UK? You have the internet, obviously, so cant you just order some cinnamon oil or even bulk cinnamon, or almond attracts. If you cant source these basic precursors, then how do you plan to get to your assumed target molecule. Probably easier to walk the streets looking for what you want... Sorry if I have assumed to much, but your starting to sound like a "lazy cook." No offence intendedest you reap, but also by the seeds you sow.

that would be suitable for uk chems.....
i would not stop reading and studying until
i masterd it...or untill my eyes poped out my sockets
its just like my head is going to explode with it

My source of MnO2 would be from batteries.
I do have some KMnO4, if it can be used directly in this reaction.
I was thinking of the reaction between toluene + MnO2 + H2SO4 as mentioned in the first post, not the cinnamaldehyde --> benzaldehyde.
What is a thiotoluene? Is it something like this?

re the light at the end of the tunnel
You are so right.
In San Diego we have Jack Murphy Stadium, used by a pro baseball and football team. It was within 4 years of being paid off. So what do our politicians do? They decide to do fancy upgrades for a superbowl EVEN THOUGH the NFL chiefs whoever they be said temporary seating would be fine...and cost a timy fraction.
Why are taxpayers paying for stadiums for rich (or poor for that matter) sports franchise owners?
Anyway, so just as the stadium is about to be paid for a new debt is incurred (citizens don't realize that bonds cost them money: the interest is paid and eventually the bonds have to be paid off and if defaulting happens the general fund will be used for that instead of sewers, water systems, etc.)
then the baseball team decides that with the new seating and look the stadium is not "baseball friendly" and that the taxpayers should pay for a baseball stadium!
Meaning that there will be TWO stadiums with HUGE debt to service used by ONE team each!!!!!!
Talk about building more tunnel when you see the light!

There's no doubt about it, we live in a touch-enabled world. Everywhere you look there's a smartphone, tablet, laptop or computer obeying the fingertip commands of users. Separate input peripherals like keyboards and mice have also had their keys and buttons replaced by a smooth, touch-enabled surface. Although somewhat late to the party (Apple introduced its Magic Mouse as far back as 2009), Logitech is about to release its own Windows 7 mouse called the M600.

Most of us own something made of leather, whether it’s a women’s leather bag, a pair of leather shoes, a leather wallet or even a leather jacket. These are treasured possessions but how many of us actually know how to take care of our leather accessories the right way?
If you take the right measures, you can maintain the quality and extend the life of your leather goods. Leather products age with time but they can be timely restored with all their splendour. Let’s quickly go through some important dos and don’ts of leather care:
Before we start, it’s imperative to know the different kinds of leather skins goods are made of:
1. Vegetable-tanned leather, which is the most common type. These might lose color and shrivel due to water. Stella McCartney is a brand who has used vegetable tanned leather extensively in their products.
2. Chrome-tanned skins, which have a metallic tint to them. These are more water-resistant and longer lasting. Shoes from Salvatore Ferragamo are known to sport this leather. Some metallic bags from Chanel also sport this leather.
3. Full-grain skin, which is not buffed, and carries a natural grainy texture of the hide. This is the leather of the highest quality. Prada bags are known for the use of this type of leather.
4. Top-grain skin, it is thinner than full-grain, as it is sanded and made smoother.
5. Patent leather, which has a super glossy effect due to oils and resins used on it. Extensively used on handbags, this Dolce and Gabbana Purple Leopard Print Patent Leather Miss Escape Tote is a perfect example.
Dolce and Gabbana Purple Leopard Print Patent Leather Miss Escape Tote
6. Exotic skins, which are made from non-cattle leather like those from reptiles. E.g. These skins are very popular with the Hermes range of bags. Like this Hermes Brown/Orange Niloticus Crocodile Palladium Hardware Birkin 30 Bag.
7. Suede is the leather obtained from the underside of the hide and can get stained or matted, easily. This is used as an interior material for almost all brands of handbags.
What damages leather?
Since leather is a natural product, it needs care to make sure the fibers remain strong. Dry air is bad for leather as it dries out the hide, making the fibers brittle and fragile. Unfortunately, water damages the leather too, as it removes the oils and waxes used to keep the hide soft and supple. Excessive humidity can rot the leather, as it can start accumulating mold and fungus.
How does one take care of leather products?
Replenish the oils of the leather frequently. A good leather conditioner or oil can do the job well without fading away, as it keeps the leather fibers strong. This should be done once every 3-6 months, depending on the weather of your location.
It is advisable to do a patch-test and let it rest for 24 hours before you use any products on the leather, as oils tend to change the color of the hide as well. Initially you will see a color change as you apply the product, but it is only after drying that the efficacy of the product is known.
Lean towards conditioners/creams/oils that are natural or neutral in color. If you do not want to change the hue of your leather wallet or bag, then stick to products that are without color.
Keep the leather away from sharp or metallic objects, as scratches or rips cannot be repaired.
Clean dirt and dust almost as instantly as you see it. A little warm water and a little elbow grease should do the trick! Do not apply a lot of pressure, but lightly buff the stain to get rid of it.
Do not allow your leather accessory to get wet. If it does so, then wipe it off with a dry cloth and allow it to dry naturally, which can even take a couple of days. Never try to dry it using heat, like from a radiator or a hair dryer.
Direct sunlight can easily damage the leather too, fading or drying it out. Make sure to store it away from direct sunlight.
Storage matters a lot too. Store your leather goods in places which are clean and dry, ideally in the dust bag that came with the product.
Leather needs to breathe. Air out your leather accessories occasionally if you use it sparsely. This will also prevent rotting and mold.
Extreme conditions are bad for leather. Excessive heat can cause the leather to bubble and peel, extreme cold on the other hand can make the leather fibers brittle and dry, causing them to crack.
As Suede is on the underside of the hide, and has a different texture and look. Suede should be kept away from water as much as possible, and only a suede-specific brush should be used on it.
Some useful tips on specific leather accessories:
Leather women shoes may need some extra care than men shoes, as they might have thinner leather on the body of the design for intricacy and detail. Dress shoes should be cleaned and polished more regularly.

When it comes to leather women bags and wallets, one trick is to avoid overfilling them. Once leather gets misshapen, it’s hard to get it back to its former glory. Wipe them down regularly and condition them once every few months.
Leather jackets should be wiped after every few uses, and conditioned once at least every six months. If you spot some cracks appearing on the product, take them seriously. Use some conditioner to salvage it or hand it over to professionals to do the job.
Even if you do not want to spend more on getting leather conditioners or oils, a simple and foolproof way to care for your leather is by regularly cleaning it with a damp cloth. This secures it from damage and premature ageing.
Caring for leather is not that hard, all it needs is a little care occasionally to make it last for a long time!

Whilst perhaps being a tad dramatic, we can safely say that overcooking your pasta is one of the most annoying things that can happen to you in the kitchen.
Soggy, sticky pasta is about as enjoyable as a kick in the teeth.
In most cases, your first though would be to dump the soggy mess into the bin and start cooking your pasta again.
But what if there was another way?
What if there was something you could do to save your overcooked pasta and turn it into something truly remarkable.
Well. There is.
We explore all of the various different ways that you can save your overcooked pasta and still cook up a delectable dish for your family, friends or yourself!
What is overcooked pasta like?
Overcooked pasta is a gooey mess that delivers a gummy, unpleasant flavour. The pasta itself is unable to hold it’s shape and will be easily mushed when handled.
How do you fix overcooked Pasta?
We have put together 6 ways of fixing overcooked pasta:
Sauteing pasta
Pasta Frittata
Adding more Sauce
Ice and Water
Pasta Salad
Pasta Bake
Sauteing Pasta
This is by far our favourite technique for saving overcooked pasta and has got us out of quite a few pickles.
You are going to want to put a little olive oil or butter into a non-stick frying pan and heat over a medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted or the oil has preheated, carefully place your overcooked pasta into the frying pan.
Saute your pasta until it regains some of its firmness but be careful not to cook for too long otherwise you will have another problem on your hands; burnt, brown pasta.
Once the pasta has firmed up, you can either turn off the heat and add your sauce directly into the pan, or serve up your pasta and pour the sauce over once on the plate.
Pasta Frittata
This method is another favourite of ours due to its creativity.
You are going to need the following ingredients:
Milk – ¼ cup
Eggs – 6
Cheese – 1 Cup
Garlic – 2 cloves
Onion – 1 Onion
(Optional) Veg – Spinach, Broccoli, whatever you fancy.
Butter or Olive Oil
The first step is whisking together the milk, eggs, cheese, garlic and onion until completely combined. Season the mix with salt and pepper.
Preheat the oven to 400F
Preheat a large frying pan or skillet with some butter of olive oil.
Once heated, tip your overcooked pasta into the pan and saute like the first method we mentioned.
Once the pasta has firmed up a tad, tip in your frittata mix. Tilt the pan to make sure the eggs have settled evenly over the pasta and cook for a couple of minutes or until the egg sets.
Once set, bake the frittata in the oven for around 8 – 10 minutes. Once the cheese has fully melted and the frittata is nice and brown, it’s ready to serve. Invert that bad boy onto a place and eat immediately!
Add more Sauce
Another way to save overcooked pasta is to mask the gooey texture with a rich, flavourful sauce. You want to cook up a sauce so flavourful that the only thing you can focus on is how good the sauce is, not how overcooked the pasta is!
One way you can create a rich sauce is by first sauteing the pasta as we mentioned in the first instance. Once sauteed, remove the pasta from the pan and then deglaze the pan with either a cup of heavy cream or a cup of dry white wine.
Simmer the cream or wine until it’s reduced and you are left with a thick, rich sauce that will mask your overcooked pasta.

Ice and Water
If you don’t fancy a frittata and you’ve spent hours making a ragu or some other sauce, then the last 2 methods might not suit your overcooked pasta needs.
This method however, might just be the one you are looking for.
The ice and water trick is an old-fashioned method that has been used for generations.
Simply drain your overcooked pasta using a colander and rinse well with cold water. Dive into the freezer and grab a handful of ice cubes from your ice cube tray and place those on top of the pasta. Continue to rinse with cold water whilst the ice cubes work to make the water even colder.
This method will stop the cooking process immediately and it will also remove some of the starch that has built up during cooking. This starch is what makes the pasta gooey and stick to one and other.
Pasta Salad
If there is no saving the overcooked pasta for use in a traditional hot pasta dish, then why not chill it and use it in a pasta salad?
In most cases, overcooked pasta will tend to firm up when chilled and you won’t be able to notice that it is overcooked when paired with the usual elements that make up a pasta salad (Mayonnaise, cucumber, sweetcorn, etc).
Here are a couple of our favourite pasta salad combinations:
Sicilian Pasta Salad:
Olives
Cherry Tomatoes
Feta
Radicchio
Pesto Pasta Salad:
Fresh Pesto
Mozzarella
Tomatoes
Olives
Basil
Tuscan Pasta Salad:
Sun Dried Tomatoes
Black Olives
Red pepper
Spinach
Parmesan
Pasta Bake
Pasta bakes are a pretty forgiving dish that will be the perfect new home for your overcooked pasta.
The majority of pasta bakes have a rich sauce that will do the leg work on the flavour front and a decent helping of crispy cheese that will handle the texture front.
Mix your overcooked pasta with a bechamel sauce, some steam vegetables, tune chunks, top with Italian cheese and bake away from 15 mins or until golden brown.
There you have it, overcooked pasta saved and turned into a delicious tuna pasta bake.
How to Avoid Overcooking Pasta
If you’d like the avoid overcooking pasta from here on out, then follow these simple steps:
Use a Big Pot
This is a super common mistake that people make. Cooking pasta in pot that is too small will mean that there is not enough cooking water and the temperature of the water will fluctuate more than a larger, more suited pot.
Salt your water
No explanation needed. Salt your water. Words to live by really. Use a minimum of 2 tablespoons of salt but it all depends on how much you are cooking.
Don’t add your pasta before the water is boiling
Ensure your water is rapidly boiling before you even think about adding your pasta to the pot. If you add your pasta before the water is boiling, it will be sitting in lukewarm water and will become clumpy. Don’t do it.
Don’t Add Oil
You simply don’t need it. Cook the pasta correctly and there is no need for oil.
Give the pasta a stir
The moment you add your pasta to the boiling water, give it a stir. Continue to do this until the pasta is completely cooked. Stirring the pasta will prevent the noodles from sticking together and help it cook evenly
Use a timer
Whatever the packet of pasta says in regards to cooking length, set a timer for 2 minutes earlier. When the timer goes off, dive in there with a fork and carry out a taste test. The pasta is ready when it’s slightly firm or as the Italian’s say ‘al dente’ (to the tooth).
It’s worth remembering that the pasta will continue to cook even when it’s been drained, so account for the additional cooking time when tasting.
If you need a kitchen timer, we’d recommend this one.
Stay nearby
In most cases, dry pasta only takes around 6-8 minutes to cook and fresh pasta only takes around 1-2 minutes. It’s worth staying nearby and sacrificing that time in the name of perfect pasta.

Ever since I started cooking I’ve been fascinated by how different people’s techniques are and how they best utilise the ingredients around them. Even the person living next door will have their own unique way of frying an egg or cooking a salmon fillet.
This fascination led me on a journey across the globe to discover the countless practices and traditions the world of cooking has to offer. I thought you’d enjoy and find value in sharing that journey with me so I created Cooked Best!

We can classify it as both a SARM and an anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) due to its chemical structureand the presence of a human growth hormone receptor (hGH R) in its structure. It may also be a recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin receptor (hCG R) analog." In 2007, the World Anti-Doping Agency declared that Testosterone Is Not a Healthful Drug. Now, as the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA) continues to grow in popularity, fighters, fans, and regulators have begun grappling with what exactly is it that makes testosterone so addictive, and why this steroid is seen as a danger to athletes, what is best sarm. The first, best, and oldest "trophies" were won in the sport of boxing, with their fighters proving their stamina against the relentless pounding, punches, and kicks of their rival, the boxer. The most coveted of which was that of a championship fight, a title that most fighters earned at some point in their lives. Some champions never competed again, while others continued competing with a title of their own (or at least they did until the last remaining champion fell to a stroke, or was retired), what are sarms used for. In short, they were undefeated, how to take sarms. These fighters won titles, because their bodies were able to fight to exhaustion against much larger, stronger, and more powerful opponents. In a similar way, the UFC fights are fought on the same basis; their fighters are also capable of winning, due to the same reasons. They do this through the ability to train in the same way, and utilize similar techniques to maximize their strength, speed and acumen. While much of the information regarding MMA, and specifically testosterone as anabolic agent, is proprietary and classified in accordance with the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the vast majority of it appears to be available on the Internet, as the IBC publishes an annual list of banned substances in the sport of boxing, what is steroid sarm. But, even when there is no information, there are other things to look at. A common observation is that testosterone levels remain low on average for male fighters, sarms vs steroids. They tend to go up over 90-120-days in an MMA fight, which does lead to a slight decrease of the levels. In a recent MMA fighter interview, former Bellator fighter Brandon Vera suggested that testosterone levels tend to drop as a fighter gets older, what is trenorol made of. While I've seen a number of studies that suggest this is true, they do have some limitations: The study does not account for the effects of aging, so it may be an under-diagnosed problem.
What does sarms do
Where to Buy SARMs (Bodybuilding) You can buy SARMs for bodybuilding purposes from a large number of online retailers, including Amazon, B&H Photo, Amdahl, NewEgg, Foyles and a host of other websites. In fact, I am often informed by readers of my website that their favorite websites or retailers specialize in SARMs. To learn more, read on, what is ostarine good for., what is ostarine good for., what is ostarine good for. Stimulant Strainer (Bodybuilding) I recently wrote an article on steroids in bodybuilding, where we discussed the potential effects of steroids for bodybuilders, what is the best sarm for cutting. In this article, I want to briefly talk about the effects of bodybuilding-specific stimulants on muscle growth, sarms results. Stressed, overweight, and/or pre-rehabbed male athletes using anabolic steroids (and some of the other performance enhancing compounds) may experience some adverse side-effects such as sleepiness, increased appetite, and increased fat deposition. These are fairly common side effects due to the performance-enhancing nature of anabolic steroids. These side effects occur in response to repeated doses or sub-doses of anabolic steroids, and are not due solely or primarily to the substance(s) used, does sarms what do. In the case of anabolic steroids, a number of factors have been studied and found to affect the way in which anabolism or androgenic (muscle-building) effects occur in a muscle cell, what is sarm. These factors include, and include, but are not limited to: (1) The physical activity level (volume of activity) from which anabolic steroids were used (e.g., heavy resistance, heavy cardio, sprinting, etc.) (2) The number of sets per workout (the number of sets a muscle is trained to perform) (3) The strength of the exercise performed, and to a lesser extent, the relative difficulty of the exercise (4) The volume of training needed (e.g., total number of repetitions for an exercise) (5) The intensity of the exercise (e.g., the number of sets per exercise) For an example, let's say an athlete is using a drug to boost their testosterone level during their training (and, I am sure, before the actual competition). The athlete's training plan would probably be to train one or two exercises per day and train in increments of 5-7 sets/set, what is sarms in bodybuilding. Then, he or she would have a workout session and then the next day do the same exercise, what is sarms bodybuilding.
SARMS will directly increase endurance, fat loss, recovery and lean muscle mass with no increases in body weight or water retentionover the course of the 3 months I suggest – this can only mean a greater and more permanent reduction in body fat. This is a critical, but not overlooked consideration for those wanting significant results in a fasted state. If you're interested in the details of how the ARI dieting protocol works. THE BEST ARI FOOD Here is the "best" ARI food for an active male as a starting point based on our results in a controlled trial. This is an updated and refined version of the original "ARI Food" presented in an earlier post. You should only include a few things in your daily diet that can be found in a good ARI-supplementation store: 1) Fish – I know that some people prefer the fatty, fatty fish, but I believe that the low poly fatty acids in the fish oils make them a better source of the vital Omega-6 fatty acids (which are essential for healthy human health). I like to use a variety of fish but usually I limit my purchases to those that are high in Omega 3 fatty acids (and a smaller portion of omega 6s). I'm thinking about incorporating them into my morning routine as another one of those "in case (I) don't get out of bed." supplements. 2) Beans – We often eat the "best" ARI foods like these from a convenience standpoint, and for the vast majority of people it does not make a huge nutritional difference, but for those not eating a lot of soy products or meaty foods, beans are a great option as the only grain/food source that does not cause problems with kidney stones. We want to limit that to just "the best for us" as this is the best for us. 3) Legumes – Another reason I recommend beans and beans has to do with their ability to help with kidney stones. These foods come with a lot of fiber but I have yet to find a good study with fiber that helps cause a reduction in kidney stones. If you are trying to prevent kidney stones you should be including a minimum of a gram of fiber per day. I like to consume about 2.5grams of fiber daily in my diet, with a significant amount in my legumes. You can read more about this from my previous post about the ARI food recommendation: ARI Diet: Legumes and Legitimate Dietary Supplements. 4) Oats – If you are a lacto-ovo vegetarian or have a very low carb intake Prolonged treatment at high doses – particularly with steroid tablets – cause side effects in some people. The most common adverse effects of corticosteroids. Corticosteroid medications come in a range of strengths. Skin inflammation may be treated with topical steroid medications, including creams, gels,. Examples of steroid hormones include the sex hormones (androgens, estrogens, and progesterone) produced by male and female gonads and hormones. Prednisone is a corticosteroid. It prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. It also suppresses the immune. Pregnenolone is an example of what is called a "c-21 steroid" because it has. Steroids (sometimes referred to as "roids" or "juice") are the same as, or similar to, certain hormones in the body. The body makes steroids naturally to. To try to achieve the muscular look, some people use anabolic steroids, a synthetic version of the male hormone, testosterone.

Hollywood has seen the lion’s share of attention when it comes to the fight for diverse stories and characters. But, the world of literature is facing their own diversity movement, and quite a few publishing houses are beginning to provide their own solutions to the lack of diversity in literature. One of those publishing houses is Rosarium Publishing.
Rosarium Publishing is an indie multicultural comic book and novel publisher founded by scifi/fiction writer Bill Campbell. Campbell’s goal with Rosarium Publishing is “to bring true diversity to publishing so that the high-quality books and comics his company produces actually reflect the fascinating, multicultural world we truly live in today.” Genres published by Rosarium Publishing includes crime, satire, children’s, steampunk, science fiction, and comics. “I believe it’s imperative that people are able to tell their own stories,” said Campbell in a statement. “They can build their own tables rather than ask for a place at the table.”
Rosarium Publishing has made a name for themselves in its three years of life, having produced critically-acclaimed titles like Mothership: Tales from Afrofuturism and Beyond, Stories for Chip: A Tribute to Samuel R. Delany, The SEA Is Ours: Tales of Steampunk Southeast Asia, and APB: Artists against Police Brutality and several of its titles, such as crime novel Making Wolf and indie comic book DayBlack have garnered literary awards. These and other titles are read in high school and college classrooms throughout the U.S., and mainstream news outlets and literature publications like Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, The New York Times and others have reviewed and/or featured Rosarium Publishing and its influence in the publishing world.

Rosarium Publishing has launched an Indiegogo campaign to help them produce a minimum of 10 more titles this year. Called “Rosarium Publishing: The Next Level,” the company wants to raise $40,000 to cover the printing and marketing costs. The reason for this campaign is due to the popularity of Rosarium Publishing’s books. To quote the press release:
Rosarium, whose books are now distributed to stores by IPG, has been so successful that demand has now dictated that a switch to offset printing is now necessary to get more of their work to the masses sooner and that is where their new crowdfunding campaign comes in. With the success of the Rosarium Publishing Indiegogo “The Next Level” campaign, they will be able to print thousands of books and continue their mission to further their quest for diversity in publishing with the high quality of work they are known for.
Want to contribute? You can do so right here! Also, if you want to get your hands on some Rosarium Publishing titles, you can buy them at Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, Comixology and PeepGame Comix.

Nicholas Montrey ’19, a senior majoring in economics, finance and accounting, and Dominic Caldieraro ’20, a junior with majors in accounting and finance, both found the visit to the Federal Reserve Bank to be the most memorable part of the trip.
“It was fascinating to visit and learn more about the Federal Reserve and the major role it plays in the American economy by implementing monetary policy,” said Montrey.
According to T.J. Devine, instructor of economics and faculty advisor for the group, the trip was planned because the club owns stock in Boeing and previously owned stock in Anheuser-Busch. Boeing has been a strong performer in the investment club portfolio. Devine said that the trip was one of many opportunities students have each year for hands-on learning through Investment Club.
Caldieraro and Montrey both say they have grown through their involvement in the club. Caldieraro said he developed, “leadership skills as well the ability to talk about financial information which are very important in my field.” He hopes to take the CPA exam after graduation and work in public accounting.
“Investment Club has offered me a way to take what I have learned in classes and applied that to the real world,” he said.
Montrey graduates in May and is planning to do audit work for a public accounting firm in Springfield. He said the lessons he learned in Investment Club will stick with him professionally and in how he approaches his own finances.
“This club has opened my eyes to how powerful investing can be and I think that will be beneficial when it comes to investing long-term for my future,” he said.
The Investment Club was established in 1995, when Warren Billhartz ’49 gifted his alma mater $100,000 in the hopes that the funds would help students get real-world experience learning the business behind the stock market. Today the club has 11 members and about $1 million in investments.
Harmon Deal H’09 has provided professional guidance for students as an advisor since the club began. Each year, the club makes nearly $14,000 in dividends that are given back to Illinois College. To put this into perspective, Devine compares the average returns of the Investment Club to the S&P 500 Index. He says the club has averaged around 13.39 percent from December 1995 to December 2017, while the average return for the S&P 500 over the same time period is 8.49%, a nearly five percent difference.

Being credit wise can save you money on a car and make you smarter about your buying decisions.
Good credit for the best deals on used cars in Philadelphia
To get the best deal on a car you need good credit and if you don’t have good credit you need to find a way to get it. Or be financed with a car dealership that has the banking set up for you to successfully buy the car with the credit you have.
Plain and simple a 540 credit score isn’t going to get you much you need a 600 score to get a decent priced car or have a $500 down car payment on the car in Philadelphia.
Now there might be dealers that we can set you up with that have better programs but you have to qualify for them.
Some car dealers offer $99 down car payments on used cars in Philadelphia but that might be with your current car traded in.
That’s why it’s important to know what kind of car loan deals are out there and get pre-qualified online before you have to be at the car dealership.
Is car shopping fun with bad credit in Philadelphia
Let me telling you this I know car shopping is fun but it can turn ugly when you forget to put in place auto financing first. It’s the most important part of car buying and the smartest move before the car dealership.

Stockbrokers and financial advisors are not always as trustworthy as they should be. There are many ways that brokers and brokerage firms can take advantage of investors to further their own financial interests. One of the most common ways is by suggesting that investors purchase securities on margin.
Continue reading to learn more about what excessive use of margin is, how it costs investors like you, and what you can do to get your money back.
When Brokers Take Advantage of Investors
You can think of margin use as a type of loan from your brokerage firm. The brokerage firm allows the investor to borrow money and uses the value of their accounts as collateral for the loan. While this can work out well for investors, it can also be very risky.
When the value of your securities declines, the brokerage firm can then demand a margin call. This means they will require you to deposit additional funds to make up for the value lost on the securities in your accounts. If you are unable to do so, they can then sell your securities.
Use of margin is legal, but it is often not suitable for investors. Brokers may suggest that you borrow on margin because it will generate a commission for themselves, furthering their own financial interests and that of their brokerage firm.
How You Can Recover Your Losses
Excessive use of margin may be grounds for arbitration. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) can order that the broker who breached their fiduciary duties, was negligent, or engaged in misconduct repay you for your losses.
Your stockbroker misconduct lawyer can take a closer look at your case to determine whether your broker mishandled your securities accounts and what options, if any, are available to recover these losses.
Speak with a Stockbroker Misconduct Lawyer
Has your broker taken advantage of you by recommending that you purchase securities on margin without disclosing the risks? If so, you may be entitled to financial compensation.
Schedule a free, confidential case evaluation with an experienced stockbroker misconduct lawyer at Wolper Law Firm to discuss your right to financial recovery. You can submit the quick contact form included below or call our office at 800.931.8452 when you’re ready to hold your broker accountable.

The SSC represents a consortium of 10 institutes in the ESA community, led by Prof Mike Watson from the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Leicester. A full description of the role of the SSC is given in Watson et al. 2001.
The SSC team includes investigators from ten institutions in five countries: France, Germany, Spain, Italy and the UK. With the loss of funding to support continued UK participation in XMM-Newton SSC activities, formal UK contributions to the SSC will essentially cease by the end of 2013, though continued UK input is envisaged at a substantailly reduced ('best efforts') level.
In addition there are five Associate Scientists from Japan, China, the US and the UK.

My mom told me about a painful experience she and my dad had during their early years in pastoral ministry. They were building a new facility at their church and—as is so common—tensions between the church leadership and the church laity grew as the building costs escalated, and the project threatened to soar out of hand. During that season, many people left the church (and many more came, too, because of all the excitement). Whenever someone leaves a church it hurts the pastor. Sometimes more and sometimes less, but it always hurts. Maybe it shouldn’t. But it always does.
Some of the folks who left were Mom and Dad’s closest friends. In fact, all of their friends left. The church grew, and many people came to faith in Christ, but my parents were left alone, hurting, and bewildered as to their abandonment. To make matters worse, the reason their friends left was some uncertainty about my father’s character. I can tell you honestly that my dad is the single most godly man I’ve ever met, but they didn’t know that. They only had suspicions and rumors to go on, and go they did.
My folks were not only isolated, but also besmirched. And not just by enemies, but by their allies.
Mom says she was full of hate. She couldn’t figure out why they had been so abused. And they still had to see their old friends at social events and around town. They tried to avoid the same grocery stores and shopping centers and restaurants, and they were mostly successful, until—finally—they had to go to a wedding where all these people would be.
En route to the wedding, God spoke to my mom, and told her to walk up to the ringleader of the dissenters and throw her arms around him. She was instructed to remember the good times, before all the drama, and tell this man she loved him. She told my dad what God had spoken into her spirit, and Dad encouraged her to follow through on it. Dad wasn’t excited about the prospect of any kind of confrontation, but he had enough faith to believe God knew what he was doing.
They got to the wedding and, sure enough, all my folks’ old friends were huddled together laughing at the reception. Mom went right up into the middle of them and hugged that man for all he was worth, saying “I love you.”
He was totally taken aback, but composed himself quickly. He returned Mom’s hug and replied, “Glenda—I love you, too.”
Mom says in that moment all the evil went out of her. It was like an exorcism. In an instant, she had been given supernatural victory over her hurt and her inability to forgive. Those folks never came back to our church, but that’s not the point. The point, in Mom’s words, is that “my hatred was hurting me—they didn’t have a thing to do with it. And when it was over? I could have done the happy dance.”
Mom wouldn’t have had that experience without first being obedient to God. If she had refused to hug that man and tell him she loved him (do I even need to point out it was plutonic?), then she may have had to work through those issues for much, much longer. But that’s how it works: you take a step, and then God meets you. He doesn’t show you the whole way forward, just the next step.
In Genesis 12:1, God spoke to Abraham and told him to leave the land of his fathers and “go to the land I will show you.” Abraham must have wondered, Which land? But God didn’t tell him. He just told Abraham to take a step.
You take a step of faith. And then God takes a step to meet you. If you don’t take your step—your step of obedience—he waits a long, long time to take his. Because he wants the two of you to journey together.
How do you get over something like unforgiveness? A step at a time. But not alone. And not without any promise of recovery or reward. And not without some confidence that God is going to greet you. You have to take the next step, but he takes the one right after.
In the end, we are condemned to victory.

AnneMarie at Gen X Quilters is hosting a Spooky Quilt contest, and I've entered the Little Witch quilt I made last year.
This quilt was made for a mini quilt swap at I should have made a twin of it to keep! I guess I can still do that one of these days if I really want to.
I would love it if you head over and vote for me. Or for someone else, if you like their quilt better. The winners get some cold, hard, fabric!
Also--last year when I made this quilt, I wrote up a tutorial on how to make the little wonky pumpkin quilt blocks. They are pretty easy, and cute too, I think. I'd love to know if you sew one up!

The Low Incomes Tax Reform Group (LITRG) has welcomed a recent announcement by the Government that there will be a one-year delay before the removal of Class 2 National Insurance contributions (NICs) to enable consultation on the impact of its abolition on the self-employed with low incomes.
If Class 2 NICs were abolished, those with profits below the small profits threshold (currently £6,025) would currently have to pay Class 3 contributions, which are five times as much as Class 2 contributions, if they want to build up an entitlement to contributory benefits such as the state retirement pension. LITRG is keen for a way to be found for the low-income self-employed to continue to be able to make affordable savings towards their pension at a rate like the present Class 2, perhaps by introducing a lower rate of Class 3.
LITRG Chair Anne Fairpo said:
“We welcome the announcement by the Government that they intend to consult with organisations such as ours which have concerns relating to the impact of the abolition of Class 2 NICs on self-employed individuals with low profits. We look forward to working with the Government to lessen the risk of unintended consequences.
“The abolition of Class 2 NICs will be a significant change to how people contribute to qualify for certain benefits and the State Pension.
“We welcome the breathing space on this matter because of our concerns that the abolition of Class 2 was being rushed through without adequate further consultation, together with a lack of publicity and guidance for the people affected.”
The delay means the measures in the unpublished NIC Bill will now take effect one year later, from April 2019. This includes the abolition of Class 2 NICs, reforms to the NICs treatment of termination payments, and changes to the NICs treatment of sporting testimonials.

Such an intriguing title for a book! This is one of a series of eighteen books under the heading “Queenship and Power” published by Palgrave Macmillan and edited by professionals from all over the world. Retha M. Warnicke is a professor of History in the School of Historical, Philosophical, and Religious Studies at Arizona State University. She has written numerous books on Tudor England.
I was looking for a biography of Anne Stanhope, the wife of Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset and Lord Protector during the reign of King Edward VI and this book came up in a search. There is a chapter about her and she has a reputation for being somewhat of a shrew and for having some kind of feud with Queen Katherine Parr. She was accused of trying to take precedence over the Queen Dowager at social functions and of taking Parr’s jewelry. It was even rumored she had caused her husband to commit fratricide.
I’m not sure exactly what I was expecting from this book. It is actually an academic historical argument about how six women of the Tudor era gained wicked reputations. Warnicke takes each woman and reviews the historical records, literature and chronicles where they are described as “wicked”. She follows this with the known historical facts about their lives. In some cases she describes her own personal theories about the women.
Two of the chapters deal with Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard, the two queens of King Henry VIII who were executed. I was a little frustrated with Warnicke’s arguments about them. In the case of Anne Boleyn, her theory is that she was considered wicked and executed because she miscarried a deformed fetus. Really? By the time Anne was arrested, there had been plenty of preparation and political machinations for charges against her. And Henry’s eye had already strayed to Jane Seymour.
For Katherine Howard, Warnicke argues she was the victim of sexual predators. I don’t think this is in dispute. She also argues that Katherine Howard denied she had sexual relations with Thomas Culpeper. Even if she didn’t, just the fact that she met with him surreptitiously was a mistake. I’m thinking if there was even the semblance of impropriety she was in trouble. If she became pregnant, there would be questions concerning the legitimacy of the child to inherit the throne. Maybe she wasn’t wicked but her behavior certainly didn’t help her own cause.
In the chapter on Anne Stanhope, Warnicke presents the evidence that yes, there may have been a personal controversy between her and Katherine Parr but this isn’t what resulted in Thomas Seymour’s execution. She argues that the Duchess’ inability to deliver favors for those who sought help from her husband caused anger and resentment against her, creating a wicked reputation. Certainly the historical facts about the rest of her life create the impression that she was in good standing with society and maintained a good reputation with her contemporaries.
The other chapters tell us about Lettice Knollys, the second wife of Queen Elizabeth I’s favorite Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester and the two wives of Sir Thomas More. It is remarkable that Lettice’s wicked reputation is based on a letter confirming the marriage ceremony between her and Leicester that mentions she wore a loose fitting gown. This has been taken to mean she had premarital sex and was pregnant at the time of her marriage. Loose fitting gowns were commonplace at that time. The obstreperous reputation of the two wives of Sir Thomas is based on rather flimsy interpretations on the writings of More’s great friend the humanist Desiderius Erasmus and others. These two chapters were very interesting.
Some of the biographical information and her arguments are thought-provoking. But this is a work of academic argument, not a breezy read. The writing can be confusing so it requires patience and attention and some knowledge of the women and the era. I’m going to recommend this book with these caveats.

Wheyou’re choosing dental practice management software for the first time or looking to replace your current system, it may seem like a daunting task. There are many choices and at the end of the process how do you know you’ve made the right choice until well after implementation? And, if you’re tempted to skip the necessary dund trusting relationship with a vendor
There is no one best system for every practice – the key is to find the system that best meets your goals, objectives and future growth plans
Let’s keep it simple to start. By looking at just four main decision criteria, you will be well on your way to narrowing your choices and significantly increasing the probability of finding the best solution for your practice. Consider these important factors:
Vendor
Track Record/Years in business: A vendor’s length of time in business tells you a lot about their stability, customer loyalty and ability to adapt to changes in technology to meet customer expectations over an extended period.
Integrity – track record of trustworthiness: Check with colleagues about their experiences dealing with their dental software vendor and ask whether expectations are meet in a timely fashion.
Scope of resources: Vendors with a large staff have the resources for new product development and comprehensive customer support whereas smaller vendors are typically spread thin in these areas.
Number of customers: Software vendors with large customer bases have the financial resources to invest in product development and the capacity to gather a wide range of user feedback that informs development decisions. Smaller/newer vendors are more likely to spend their limited resources attracting new customers.
Customer retention rate/satisfaction rating: A vendor’s customer retention rate is a good reflection of overall customer satisfaction. Contact multiple practices to get an overall feel of their level of satisfaction of the software they are using.
Positive reviews and number of referrals: Check out dental software reviews but be wary that many reviews are “sponsored” or “planted” and therefore are not likely to be completely objective.
Software Application
Scope (breadth) and Quality (depth) of features: It is easy to get caught in the feature comparison trap and simply conclude that the solution with the most features is the best for your office. It is wise to focus on the features you need and evaluate how well they actually work.
Ease of Use and Workflows: For high priority functions, determine how many steps each takes, whether the workflows are intuitive and whether the net results meet your expectations.
Degree of Integrations offered: Dental software vendors typically offer a number of third-party applications that have varying degrees of integration that can contribute to increased administrative and clinical efficiency. They include imaging software, accounting software, payment card processing, reputation (review) management, and advanced reporting/productivity tools. Determine which ones are important to you and how well they integrate with the dental software.
Support/Value-added Services
Consistency and quality of upgrades: Updates should consist of improvements to existing features as well as new functionality rather than simply “bug” fixes.
Training: Look for a vendor that has the resources to offer a variety of training methods including onsite, classroom and webinar based, and what training materials are available such as tutorials and videos. The number and experience level of trainers on staff is also a good indication of the quality of training your team will receive.
Customer support: Ask for audited customer support statistics and determine whether the support department is sufficiently staffed with enough qualified people to support the size of the customer base. Check out the type of support plans offered and the scope of service hours (24/7/365 is ideal) to see whether they meet your requirements.
Customer engagement/Patient Portal: Review the vendor’s customer newsletters, blogs, eBooks, training materials, etc. to gauge how informed they will keep you if you become a customer. Ask whether they offer a customer portal.
Platform/Security
System platform: Most dental practice management systems are local server based where the dental practice management software and patient data both reside on site at the dental practice. However, due to data security advantages, cloud-based dental systems are starting to appear on the market. For these systems, practice data resides on cloud servers where it is kept protected from cyberattacks, break-ins and natural disasters. Vendors who provide platform choices give you the most flexibility.
Cloud backup services: If you choose a local server solution, be sure that they offer a cloud-based backup service so backups are not stored on-site and subject to undue risk.
Role based data/function access: For added security look for dental software that can enable data and function restrictions based on user-defined roles.
Audit Trails/Privacy Compliance: The dental software should also include the functionality to report on changes in data including edited or deleted financial records as well as comply with regulatory body requirements such as CASL.
Final Thoughts
Make a software short list and see each one in “live” action
Evaluate features based on ease of use, intuitiveness, workflow adaptability and functional depth
Compare long-term costs – not just up-front costs when evaluating return on investment
Don’t underestimate the importance of vendor track record and customer support
Choose a software vendor with the intent of developing a long-term relationship
Remember – lack of due diligence during the process of making an original software purchase is the main reason that dental offices wind up unsatisfied – and then have to go looking for new solutions

A few Alpaca Facts:
Alpaca fiber is one of the world's finest animal fibers and prized by clothiers and fashion designers worldwide. Alpaca's develop a single coat which lacks "guard hairs", that is found on wool and other animals. Wool has guard hairs (wool itch factor) which are coarser than the soft undercoat which it is designed to protect. Alpaca's single coat is extremely soft which can be worn next to the skin without irritation. Alpaca fibers are semi-hollow; giving Alpaca fiber added insulation value over wool and other fibers. Alpaca's semi-hollow fiber provides a user with more heat retention in cold and cooling dynamics during hot seasons.

It comes after the service has been dealing with staff shortages over Christmas as a result of COVID-19.
SIPTU will meet with Dublin Fire Brigade management next week to discuss long-running issues around staffing levels which date back to before the pandemic.
Not Enough Staff
Advertisement
Industrial relations organiser with SIPTU, Geoff McEvoy, says the number of staff employed by Dublin Fire Brigade just isn't enough:
“We reckon there’s a need for another 100 to 150 firefighters to be recruited into the service in the next year to 18 months.”
It's after the Chief Fire Officer Dennis Keeley appeared before Dublin City Council last night, to highlight the shortages it faced over Christmas.
Over a fifth of their workforce was unavailable on New Years Eve - which is around 200 people.
Training for staff has been curtailed to allow all available staff to work in the operations of the service.
DFB staffing crisis deepens. 12 appliances off the road on NYE. @DublinSinnFein table emergency motion at tonight's @DubCityCouncil
meeting @SIPTU @DubFireBrigade
— Cllr. Daithí Doolan (@DaithiDoolan) January 10, 2022

New Recruits
Dennis Keeley says they are continuing to recruit:
“We have a new class starting February 7th, we look forward to that.”
“Its a large class of 46 which will obviously once they’ve completed their training will help us.”
However SIPTU claims when retirements are taken into account, staffing levels won't be boosted that much at all.
Something Councillor Daithi Doolan agrees with:
“The cause of the staffing crisis is under resourcing and the fact there’s not enough staff in place.”

The first time I (and probably many others) heard Cleveland’s Defnics was when their AMAZING song “51%” was comped on Killed By Death #3 back in 1989. I grew up in Cleveland so I hold Cle punk in high regard- “51%” is one of THE BEST Cleveland punk songs of all time, up their with classic Pagans or Electric Eels ditties. The unique, sharp guitar sound on “51%” is to die for, the lyrics are memorable, the singing style is great (always a plus for me) and it just has that “instant classic” feel to it right from the start.
The Defnics’ only release back in the day was the “51%/Hello From Berlin” 7” back in 1981 on Terminal Records which was the label run by Mike Hudson of the almighty Pagans (Terminal Tower = Cleveland landmark- get it?). More on that 7” later… The Defnics’ singer and rhythm gee-tarist was Bobby Conn (nee Bill DeGidio) who was in the almighty late 70’s Pagans for a brief time and actually sang on the immortal “Six and Change” before Mike Hudson took over as lead warbler. Er, Messrs Hudson and Conn had some falling out years later because, according to Mike Hudson’s liner notes for Thermionic’s 1998 reissue of Terminal’s 1982’s GREAT “Cleveland Confidential” comp LP, he said Bobby Conn turned into a “white power Nazi dude” who scared Hudson’s wife and son. Fuck. The lead guitarist for the Defnics was Bob Sablack who would go on to several other good Cleveland bands back in the 80’s like the Pink Holes, the Plague and others.
When I discovered the Defnics way back when, I had found yet another hometown band to be proud of (although I was hearing them for the first time years after their 1982 breakup). Even though they were from the East Side of Cleveland, The Defnics still rocked in my book (ha ha). Let me explain my lighthearted jab– I grew up on the West Side of Cleveland and for years there’s been this “East Side vs. West Side” rivalry of sorts. Chicago has the North Side vs. South Side thing (and the West Side vs. South Side thing too) for example- I guess most major U.S. cities have similar pseudo-jingoistic rivalries going on. Cleveland’s East vs. West rivalry has lots of different factors layered in it, but at least when I was growing up in Cleveland it boiled down to West Siders seeing themselves as more salt of the earth, down home, common folks while East Siders were seen as snootier, wealthier and more elitist. Or maybe I should sum it up like this- West Siders worked in the factories owned by the East Siders. Both the East and West sides of Cleveland have wealthy AND normal, working-to-middle class suburbs which kind of negates the perception each side has of each other but enough on that for now.
Anyway, the address for the Defnics on the back of my vinyl copy of their 7” is in Eastlake, a “normal” East Side suburb (in terms of median income) about 20 miles Northeast of downtown Cleveland that is very close to Lake Erie. Due to its close proximity to the lake, Eastlake is near the infamous “snowbelt” area of Cleveland where they get fucking dumped on in the wintertime with wonderful lake effect snow. ANY part of Cleveland gets a lot of the white stuff every winter, but the snowbelt is like the usual heavy snowfall x 10. Fun.
OK- back to the issue at hand, the Defnics. A year after I first heard their 7” I then heard their great track on the “Cleveland Confidential” comp LP, the very tense and haunting slow grinder, “Suicide Trip”. Cool! The Defnics were 3 for 3 in my book so far. These were the only three songs that the Defnics committed to vinyl back in the early 80’s, but I really wanted to hear more. There had to be some unreleased live or studio stuff, I thought.
And it turns out that there was! A short two years later in late 1996, back in the height of my tape trading days, someone from Cleveland taped me some unreleased live stuff by the Defnics (c’mon, where else would stuff like that pop up on a tape trader list?!). It was great- lots of LOUD thick guitars, nice singing by Mr. Conn, very catchy and hummable mid-tempo ditties that were in a similar vein as “51%”. As with many of my live tapes, this one came with no song titles but someone that I recorded it for around 2000 actually wrote to the band via the great site and acquired all of the song titles (thanks P.R.).
Listening to the unreleased stuff over the years, it made me sad to think such great stuff never saw the light of day on an official rerelease. I thought that perhaps these great tunes would linger in the netherworld of tape trading forever so why not put it on my blog. Well, while I was halfway done with this post I did a random Google search on the Defnics and actually found out that the Smog Veil label is actually going to put out a Defnics reissue, er, tomorrow (January 6th) entitled “Black Hole Anthology 1980-1982”. Um- the timing of my posting and this reissue is coincidental, as I was planning on doing this post for some time but kids, family life and the holidays interfered. [Well, the holidays interfered- I love my wife and kids so I should choose to instead say “postponed” in reference to them, eh]
From listening to the quick 30 second audio samples on Amazon, it looks like this Smog Veil reissue notl guy Frank Mauceri who runs Smog Veil and I don’t want to steal his thunder so I have slightly revised the tracks I posted below so as not to lapover with his label’s official reissue. One of the tracks, “Governor’s Daughter”, that I was going to post sounds identical to the version that was also included on Smog Veil’s 2001 “Pies and Ears” comp of lots of Cleveland bands so that song is not here. I also see that the upcoming Defnics reissue also has a different version of the track “My Girl” that I was going to post below, so I left that one off too so there is no lapover again although the versions of it differ. I’d love to know why the ones I posted below were not included on the upcoming Smog Veil reissue ‘cuz they are great- ESPECIALLY the lead off track, “1981”, and are NOT substandard filler by any stretch as is the case with too many “discovered” live tapes I have heard over the years by other KBD-type bands. Perhaps the song title “Daddy’s Little Homo” was seen as a bit too politically incorrect for 2009 (er, plus the sound quality is a little too rough also). Social Distortion gave us “Mommy’s Little Monster” and the Defnics gave us “Daddy’s Little Homo”, so I guess they can be considered companion tracks of sorts- har har har…
Most of these tracks were recorded at the famous J.B.’s Down Under in Kent, Ohio which is about 40 miles South of the Defnics’ home base of Eastla
ke (and 10 miles or so Northeast of Akron a.k.a. Rubber City, also home to some cool bands in the late 70’s and early 80’s). Kent, Ohio is of course home to Kent State University where VietNam war protestors were shot dead at in 1970. Another embarrassing bit of Ohio trivia (there’s a lot of it, my friends- don’t get me started or this blog posting will go on forever). Cleveland had a famous long-time venue called Peabody’s Down Under that I saw some great shows at in the late 80’s but totally different place than J.B.’s in Kent.

ENDNOTES
From reading the VERY informative Defnics page on with lots of info from lead guitarist Bob Sablack, the band apparently had some problems at Kent, Ohio shows with the local skinheads- perhaps this who was heckling the band during these live songs and taunting them to play faster. Or, if not skinheads, then maybe some local drunk redneck wandered into J.B.’s that night (always a fun person to have at shows) and gave the band some shit (?).
Stamps collectors- get out your magnifying glasses and follow along with me as I dissect the fragile sleeve for the Defnics 7”. First off, my copy- like all others- is a plain white inner sleeve that has square, mustard yellow-colored paperstock pasted on both sides. I absolutely LOVE homemade sleeves on punk records- it’s very charming, DIY and part of what makes punk so, er, punk for me. I just picture the band sitting in some kitchen gluing together all 1,000(!) sleeves, in between swigging on some beer, for a very long period of time. I mean, it seemed like a long, two-part process- first they had to glue together the sleeves (and then wait for them to dry) before they slid the actual vinyl into each and every sleeve or else the glue might have permeated and wrecked the vinyl. What a labor of love.
Damn, they must have used some strong glue on the sleeve because the record is almost 30 years old and the paperstock on my copy show no signs of loosening or peeling off. From the Defnics page on I found out that the cover photo of the band playing live was taken at a place called The Flipside on Green Road (in Eastlake?). The back of the 7” shows the band standing between two garages in someone’s backyard- wonder where this photo was taken. Speaking of the back of the sleeve, this is where some variations come in when I do a little research. My copy has the band’s contact address in Eastlake handwritten in blank pen in the lower left-hand corner (see picture of my copy above)- also handwritten is “Write!” just below the address. But I seen other copies- like this one on Brian Sayle’s great punk rock sleeve archive site- which have NO address on the back of the sleeve- hmmm? Maybe some old band member will post a comment here and clear up this important global dilemma. How many copies had the handwritten addresses out of the 1,000 pressed? Inquiring minds want to know. Forgot the problems with the economy or the war in Iraq- this sleeve issue demands our utmost attention and focus in the new year.
Some sleev of an owner who hovered over you and who kept his short stack of Defnics 7” under the counter. I forget how much he sold them for, or to what “elite” customers, but I tried to obtain a copy on a trip to Cleveland in 1995 and was totally denied in a somewhat condescending West Coast screenings called “Cleveland’s Screaming” that talks about the early-to-mid 80’s Cleveland and Kent, Ohio scenes (HC mostly). I have not seen it yet but there are several trailers on YouTube, and very soon Parts Unknown Records is supposed to be selling copies. There was a GREAT interview with the guy who did the film in the January 2009 issue of good old Maximum Rock n’ Roll. It was a fantastic issue in general, as the theme was “Punks and Film” and aside from interviews with contemporary filmmakers, went all the way back to punxploitation films of the late 70’s and early 80’s. But, sorry, no interview with our friend, the beloved Steven Blush who did “American Hardcore”. Har har.

Goddammit, I cannot remember the name of that place for the life of me but I remember he had a small section of punk vinyl which was ridiculously overpriced for dog-eared copies of some common U.K. 7”s. Doh.”

yeah, that’s Shattered Records on Lorain AVenue. Frank(storeowner)can be a prick or at times a pretty nice guy. it depends. he is very elitist when it comes to the rare vinyl though. a pal of mine swiped some ep’s and put em down his pants in the early 90’s. next thing you know, all the 45’s sat on the counter next to the cash register where he could watch you like a frickin (chicken)hawk. oh well, good selection though.

In my earlier post I explained how 2016 is a year of experimentation for me. Each week I will conduct a new experiment and will also write-up the result of the previous weeks experiment.
In addition to the small experiments, I am also seeking to develop new habits. Here I am focusing on one new habit per month. I am expecting some failures, so I have developed a list of only 6 new habits that I wish to develop in 2016. This allows me an 8 week window per habit!
The experiments and habits will be focused on improving my physical, mental and work performance.
Experiment #02 No TV (framing)
Purpose:
The purpose of the experiment was to see if I “removed” all TV watching from my routine? How much time can I win back and what can I do with that time. Read. Write. Who knows?
(Additional notes – read for context) I would be of the view that I don’t watch much TV. But, when I look at the cold hard facts, I probably watch 30 minutes of news most evening, and then the overflow of stuff that might come along with the TV being on – say another hour. Then add a movie per week at 2 hours. That is 7*1.5 + 2, a total of 12.5! That can be! Or can it? It seem enormous. In addition to that is the loss of the block of time between 7:30pm and 10:30pm that is interrupted. That can now be used for something better. Whatever better turns out to be!
Hypothesis:
By removing TV I open up the evening routine to a total re-engineer that will accommodate some of the new habits I wish to develop. A little suspense is good.
Experiment #01 No iPhone email – Write Up
My write up on experiments will follow the format outlined below each week. So now to the week without email on my iPhone or iPad!
Purpose:
The purpose of the experiment was to see if I “removed” Mail(all email checking) from my iPhone and iPad, what would the net benefit be to my overall productivity.
Hypothesis:
By removing two “convenient” methods of checking email (iPhone & iPad), I could wean myself down to checking email 2-3 times a day and win back valuable time.
(Additional notes – read for context) I process about 50-60 emails per day (excluding subscriptions). I have email on my iPhone, iPad and MacBook. A quick audit of my email habit indicated that I checked at least hourly. And it has the potential to suck you in. This was leading to an interruption of deep working sessions. A break at the end a 60 minute session often lead to 30 minutes of email!
Materials
I used Rescue Time to measure the frequency and amount of time in email (Gmail on Chrome with “Inbox Pause”).
Method
Step 1: Remove all email accounts from iPhone and iPad (felt a little scary but very soon became liberating)
Step 2: Install RescueTime – this also required tweaking of categories and association of work with these categories. A little frustrating at the beginning, but now the usefulness of information I get from the dashboard is great.
Step 3: Decide when to check email and how. I decided that I would process email fully when I went into my Inbox. (Additional notes – read for context) I did not want to have the distraction of new emails arriving as I processed my email. The shiny new thing is just too alluring. To avoid this, I use “Inbox Pause”, a chrome extension that pauses new emails being populated into my Inbox. At the end of my email session, I “Unpause” and that’s it. Processing means getting the emails in my inbox to zero. If there is any action associated with the email, I either do it there and then, or add it to my “to-do” list. I then trash or archive the email. Archiving is a simple decision point. If I want to keep the email for reference, then I simply put it in the “Reference” or Travel folder/label. If I need to refer back to the email as part actioning it, I store it in one of 4 folders – End of Day, End of Week, End of Month, End of Quarter. I always make sure these are empty at the end of the day/week/month or quarter. The environment that I have set up is very important to keeping me on track.
Step 4: Measure. Rescue time measures how much time I spend in Gmail. In addition, I have looked at how well I get to Zero and the number of times I check email. A total of 3 metrics, time, success (y/n) and count.
Step 5: Make sure I process each “folder” to zero based on time interval and action any tasks in my “to-do” list.
Step 6: Use the time won back!
Observations
It feels a little scary removing email accounts from your phone and tablet
Checking email has just become another task as opposed to a “fix”
Limiting the number of times I check, means I have to get the email processed within one of those two times
Twice a day is enough for me to check email. It does take a discipline of actioning the items, otherwise you will end up with overwhelm
I find that I have won back a lot of time. The total time on the computer has been reduced down to about 4 hours per day.
Conclusions
Metrics
– Gmail – best days 22 minutes, worst day 54 minutes
– Zero Inbox – 6/6 (I have allowed myself the discretion to decide on whether to check email on a Sunday or not!)
– email check frequency – best – twice, worst – four time (only once)
– I had no baseline RescueTime results to compare against, but anecdotal evidence suggests that I spend about 1 hour a day less on my iPhone checking email (10-12 sessions of 3-4 minutes). I will not be putting email back on my iPhone or iPad.
I would say that it was a success and I look forward continuing to process email properly on my main computer. Your thoughts?

,(From left) Qhazanah Sabah Bhd group chief executive officer Ahmad Rizal Dahli, QSB Chairman Datuk Seri Dr Salleh Said Keruak, Berjaya Group Chairman Tan Sri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun and Berjaya Deputy Chairman Syed Ali Shahul Hameed during the signing ceremony.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Sabah government, through its strategic investment arm Qhazanah Sabah Bhd (QSB), has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with property developer Berjaya Land Bhd (BLand) to explore the possible relocation of Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA) to Kimanis.
The companies said the MoU covers the relocation of KKIA involving the construction and development of a new international airport in Kimanis, as well as a sustainable development plan to be undertaken within Kimanis or on any other land deemed suitable by the Sabah government.
“A special-purpose vehicle will undertake the proposed project upon completion of a detailed technical and financial feasibility study, strategic business plan and financial modelling proposal to be agreed by both parties,” they said in a joint statement yesterday.
Meanwhile, QSB group chief executive officer Ahmad Rizal Dahli said the company has been tasked with looking into various strategic development initiatives to support the economic growth of Sabah, including the possible relocation of KKIA to Kimanis.
He said the MoU establishes a preliminary collaboration between it and BLand, paving the way for QSB to carry out feasibility studies and exploratory works for the proposed project.“The relocation of KKIA had been suggested in various discussions across the board for a decade. This MoU allows us to look at this in more detail, particularly in terms of economic viability and social impact assessment.
“We are looking forward to tapping on the expertise brought on board by the early partnership with BLand, particularly on infrastructure development,” he said.
Ahmad Rizal said KKIA is unlikely to be able to expand further in operational terms, including expansion of its terminal building and runway as well as other facilities, due to limited land area and its current location, which is surrounded by privately owned land and its proximity to the Kota Kinabalu city centre. — Bernama
“The proximity can be one of the risk factors for delayed development of the city centre due to the regulations and restrictions set by having an airport nearby. A relocation of KKIA to Kimanis, on the other hand, could result in the airport having more than one terminal building and runway,” he explained. - Bernama

The most important symptom is the gradual onset and difficulty in breathing, which is caused by the urgency of the ears, and the difficulty in hearing (a distinctive, whiffling, wheezing sound every time).
It can be caused by some kind of allergic inhalation, physical exertion, laughter, and small children often develop such symptoms due to an acute upper respiratory infection. Several factors can also cause asthma attacks in the same patient.
Kezelйs: In the case of frequent recurrence, the physician recommends preventive treatment in the form of an inhalable drug. Once the seizure has occurred, inhaling the medicated medication may help. These solutions are state-of-the-art, effective, and practically free of side effects. There are some "check marks" made of plastic (nebuhaler) that can help small children absorb the medicine.
The nebuchaler assists
Home remedies: It helps to increase your physical fitness in parallel with medical treatment. Yawning, a lot of outings, is very effective.
When will it go away? Usually the symptoms decrease or disappear as you get closer to your adolescence, but you may get sick again later. Much depends on a healthy lifestyle and precise implementation of treatment. With asthma you can become an athlete!
Asthma club in the Svabhegy Children's Hospital
In the former Svabbegy Children's Hospital, there was usually a lot of traffic in the lodge, especially during the cold season. In these cases, the viral infections of the brain are thickened, causing symptoms of croup and then asthmatic difficulty in many young children. If the home fails to improve the condition of the child, the hospital is the end.
Dr. Gбcs Йva, Dr. Jбkly Andrea йs Dr. Rita Göndöcs lung medicine specialists, the club's hosts said, always bring their little patients home with a final report containing detailed treatment guidelines. Asthma is, according to today's science, not curable, but with proper preventive treatment called inhaled steroid drugs can be asymptomatic by regular inhalation. In everyday life, this means that the kid can run, laugh, play sports with his friends, and his drowning cough does not stop him from playing.
However, international statistics do not show the improvement in asthma that modern drugs can expect. Everyone knows that injectable drugs are very effective, but their use has some downsides. You should not wait until the symptoms have worsened. You need to start dosing right from the start, so the results will be better. In addition to this, few technical details need to be practiced with children and their parents.
Dr. Uhereczky Gbbor to start the department head physician, learning from these experiences, began to empower the asthma club.
Treatment at home
The guidelines for the minor treatment of a child who has been released from the lung department are often the responsibility of the home doctor. You multiply the recommended dose, and you have an opinion as to when you need to deal with the symptoms. After two months of being free of symptoms, the parent is also insecure and does not use preventive and symptomatic agents as discussed. The result: the child doesn't take the handler seriously, the portions are omitted, and the status deterioration is about to occur.
Even after running for a few months, I am still choking and drowning, and the slightest infection of the breath is immediately carried to the lungs. The kids in the asthma club just watched a movie like this when we went to see them. The little ones were afraid of what he had done, what his son should have done. Fortunately, an angel hurries to help, so the sad end is gone.
Watching filmmaking in a good team competition and discussion - children can play with fun using a variety of tools and gain important knowledge about illnesses.
Successful management (history)
Krizsбn Bgi she was born prematurely due to an intra-uterine infection. In the first ten days of his life, he suffered from severe pneumonia and antibiotics. Five months later, he produced the first croup seizure with which he was contracted in the hospital. From the age of eight months onwards, seizures also weighed down the picture. In short, it turned out that severe symptoms are always caused by viral infection.
Two years of wandering followed. During a season Five crippled seizures, five pneumonia the baby, while her mother didn't get much help with home treatments. They were here when a friend of the physiotherapist's mother mentioned the existence of the Swabian Asthma Club. "Then we first heard about this possibility. We come here a long time ago, and the suggested treatment limit is now that there have been only two cases per year for the previous 6-8 seizures, and even one last year. the joy if Bgi was wrong.
Now I know exactly what to do. If I've run out of ideas, I'll call you and tell you what I've done so far for the seizure. Any department doctor can tell me what the next step is. It hasn't happened since we ended up in the hospital, "says Andrea's mom Krizsanny Bucsъ.
Asthmatic cough
Unfortunately, they are rarely infrequent in infants, and asthmatic cough is increasingly common at the age of one. Contact a pediatric pulmonologist,
- if your child appears to have a lot of cough - even if it's cold - when he or she drinks cold, breathes cold, or gets a cough attack after persistent laughter, jogging and dawn;
- if you see it frequently and it always continues with severe coughing;
- if you get tired after a minor effort.
Allergic asthma is very common in the background of asthma. Flammable heat can be stimulated by bacterial or viral infections, physical or psychological stress, cold or polluted air. Asthma is accompanied by cessation of seizures in the form of seizures: the body is freed from the many cravings that occur in the ears. A typical symptom is the faint sparkling noise that exerts a dull breath: the airways can only pass through the airways. Make sure that the child has enough to drink, especially hot spring water.
Keep calm because your nervousness gets stuck in it and it only aggravates the seizure. If this condition is repeated frequently, a specialist will recommend preventive treatment, usually by inhalation of a nebuliser.
