KBB Editor's Overview
As Toyota's full-size truck, the 2015 Tundra aims for attention in a segment rife with entrenched players and brand loyalists. Capturing the limelight – and buyers' allegiance – is no easy task, and not just because the segment has long been dominated by GM, Ram and America's best-selling vehicle, the Ford F-150. Where power used to be a pickup's calling card, the Tundra's rivals are now in a race to be the most sophisticated and efficient. Toyota's flagship truck addressed aspects of the former with last year's revamp, but has yet to update its aging powertrains. The Tundra's V8 engine choices are powerful, but neither cracks 20 mpg. What the Tundra does have on its side is strong resale value and a history of reliability.

What's New for 2015
For 2015, the Tundra lineup drops the base V6 engine, making the 4.6-liter V8 standard and the 5.7-liter V8 optional. A TRD Pro Off-Road model is made to play harder in the muck, and a storage tray under the rear seats of some double-cab models adds versatility.
Driving It
Driving Impressions
On road and off, Toyota's full-size truck is still formidable. Its standard 310-horsepower, 4.6-liter V8 is more than acceptable for lighter duties, while the 381-horsepower, 5.7-liter V8 is up for almost any task (yes, it famously pulled the Space Shuttle over a bridge). On the open road, the Tundra's cabin is surprisingly quiet. Toyota's half-ton truck isn't exactly nimble, but it drives smaller than its dimensions suggest. The Tundra's 6-speed automatic transmission is smooth, though not as buttery as the Ram's 8-speed. The Tundra does not offer a locking rear differential, but the big truck had no problems when we drove a 4-wheel-drive (4WD) TRD edition up muddy embankments, crawled down steep hills and waded through water. With TRD Pro Off-Road models you can tackle even more, including small jumps without fear of bottoming out. As a bonus, the Tundra TRD Pro's long suspension travel creates a more comfortable on-road ride.
Favorite Features
Treat a truck like a truck and it's almost bound to happen: bruising a bumper. The 2015 Toyota Tundra features a 3-piece design for its front and rear bumpers that makes them easier and less costly to replace should/when they get banged up.
Driving a big truck means dealing with a wider zone in which you can miss spotting vehicles to the rear left and rear right. Sedans have been offering electronic monitoring of these areas for years, but Toyota claims the title of being first to bring the technology to a full-size truck.
Vehicle Details
As with most full-size pickups, the Tundra's interior spans from that of a basic truck with a 3-passenger fabric bench seat to a luxurious family hauler with brown leather interior and wood trim. Double-cab and CrewMax cab variants seat up to six when you opt for a bench in front, or five with the more comfortable bucket seats. Even base SR trims have a 6.1-inch touch-screen infotainment system in the dash, a far cry from the dial radio in your dad's pickup. Knobs and controls are easier to reach than in past Tundras, and sturdy enough to be used with gloves on.
The 2015 Tundra half-ton pickup is available in three cab configurations and three bed lengths. Regular-cab and double-cab models can be had with a standard bed (78.7 inches) or long bed (97.6 inches). The CrewMax has the biggest cab of the bunch and is only available with a short bed (66.7 inches). As part of last year's revamp, the Tundra's hood was raised slightly and better integrated into the grille. As with other full-size trucks, the Toyota's grille appears to just get bigger and bigger. At the other end, the lockable tailgate automatically lowers slowly to prevent the dreaded tailgate slam.
Notable Standard Equipment
Even if you buy the least expensive version of the 2015 Tundra, you'll get a nicely equipped truck with a V8 engine, rearview camera, power windows and door locks, and 6.1-inch touch-screen audio/entertainment system with AM/FM/CD player, USB and auxiliary inputs and Bluetooth wireless phone connectivity. These models also come with a fabric-trimmed 40/20/40-split fold-down front bench seat with 4-way adjustable driver and passenger seats (tough vinyl is available with the Work Truck package). All new Toyotas also come with two years/25,000 miles of complimentary factory-scheduled maintenance.
Notable Optional Equipment
Most extras for the 2015 Tundra are bundled into trims. SR5 models add a larger, 7-inch touch-screen infotainment system, sliding rear window and the new storage compartment under the rear seats, while Limited trims bring premium audio and navigation, leather-trimmed and heated front bucket seats, 20-inch wheels, chrome mirrors and door handles, and power-operated sliding rear window. The top-line Platinum and 1794 Edition offer heated and cooled front seats, moonroof, JBL premium audio and blind-spot monitoring. The TRD Pro Off-Road package, available in double-cab or CrewMax form, includes Bilstein shocks, TRD-tuned springs with a 2-inch lift in front, front skidplate and unique badging.
Under the Hood
2015 Tundra models are now powered solely by V8 engines since the former base V6 has been dropped. The 4.6-liter V8 is now the standard engine in lower-trim models, while the powerful-yet-thirsty 5.7-liter is available across all Tundra models and is standard on higher trims of Toyota's full-size truck. Both V8s are connected to a 6-speed automatic. All Tundra engines run on regular gasoline, and the big 5.7-liter V8 is E85-capable. The Tundra's maximum towing rating is 10,500 pounds and applies to a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) regular-cab model with the 5.7-liter V8. Additionally, models with that engine can be had with an integrated trailer brake controller.
4.6-liter V8
310 horsepower @ 5,600 rpm
327 lb-ft of torque @ 3,400 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 15/19 mpg (RWD), 14/18 mpg (4WD)
5.7-liter V8
381 horsepower @ 5,600 rpm
401 lb-ft of torque @ 3,600 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 13/18 mpg (RWD), 13/17 mpg (4WD)
Pricing Notes
With the V6 dropped as the base engine, the 2015 Tundra's starting Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) has risen to just over $30,000, about $3,000 higher than last year's entry model. At that price, the Tundra is in line with the Nissan Titan and several thousand dollars more than the starting prices of the Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra and Ford F-150, though the prices begin to even out if those trucks are equipped with a V8 like the Tundra. A top-line Tundra Platinum or 1794 Edition – whose name derives from the founding date of the Texas ranch where the truck is built – can climb to $50,000 when loaded. While the Tundra's rivals surpass it in power, efficiency and towing capacity, the Toyota has the upper hand in resale value. Just last year the Tundra won the Best Resale Value Award among full-size pickup trucks.

Problem Solvers: Iron Bull Hoppers Help Quality Pallet Handle Wood Waste with Ease
Wood Waste: Hoppers provide easy-to-use method for collecting scrap material and keeping a facility clean.
By Lisa Monroe
Date Posted: 10/5/2017
Wood Waste
Hoppers provide easy-to-use method for collecting scrap material and keeping a facility clean.
Problem: A worker had to get off the forklift to dump the hoppers into the dumpster.
Solution: Because of a special self-release mechanism on the hoppers, they release waste into the dumpsters and the employee never has to get off the forklift.
Paul Peachey, owner of Quality Pallet, is very pleased with the four Iron Bull hoppers he uses at his plant in Greensburg, Kentucky.
Established in 2003, Quality Pallet produces approximately 4,200 pallets daily. It is strictly a new manufacturer that builds 1,500-plus truckloads a year.
It builds pallets ranging in size from 30'x30' to 60'x60', three-runner and four-runner pallets, four-way and two-way pallets, pallets that are flush or have wings built to customer specifications.
"The Iron Bull hoppers are very durable, very user-friendly and engineered well. There is a mechanism on the front that releases when it hits the dumpster – so you are staying under the canopy when you dump. It's safer because you never have to get off the forklift," said Peachey.
"The way it is engineered and balanced causes it to dump out very nicely when it is full, then when it's empty the hopper will return to its home position and latch again," he explained.
"The release mechanism is actually located on the front of the base of the hopper and it releases when it is bumped against the lip of the roll-off container," clarified Joe Glick, general manager of Iron Bull.
"We call this the Automatic Push and Dump™ option. It's designed for dumping into roll-offs or other large waste containers. By pushing the latch push tube gently against the edge of the large waste container, the hopper latch is released, dumping its material quickly and safely. Tilting the forklift mast back will automatically bring the hopper back into its locked position again."
"It's actually recessed in the base so it won't release by accident if the forklift hits against a wall," Glick explained. "One of the greatest things about the push and dump option is that it saves time, but even more importantly, it reduces the potential for forklift operator injuries. According to the forklift industry, the majority of forklift-related injuries are from the operator getting off or on the vehicle."
Another feature that Peachey likes about the design of the Iron Bull hopper is the way the base is built for extreme wear and tear. This was an issue that Quality Pallet had in the past with other hoppers it used. "We've had the Iron Bull hoppers for over a year and they don't show any signs of wear," he said.
Quality Pallet has four hoppers from Iron Bull Manufacturing which it places near its nailing machines to hold wood waste, such as boards that aren't up to par, until it can be moved to the dumpster or grinder. "When the Iron Bull reps came out, they were very knowledgeable. They looked at my applications and suggested something they thought would work well for us," he said.
The hoppers prevent having to stack wood on the plant floor and from having to double-handle it.
Iron Bull Manufacturing, located in Marshall, Indiana, builds 40 different sizes of hoppers in its standard lineup, plus custom-built hoppers to fit specific needs. It recently added a new sixth series – the Monster Bull – to its lineup, which previously included the Mini Bull, Baby Bull, Junior Bull, Big Bull and the Brahma Bull – with many different sizes available within each series. The new Monster Bull series has up to 14-yard capacity.

"The longer sections made it perfect for the job. The cables underneath got great protection from cars driving over it by the speed ramp, and the site was safe as traffic had to slow down. When we finished the job we simply removed the section and took it with us to the next job."
Darren, Construction Site Manager, Mullingar
The Easy Rider Speed Ramp Section reduces vehicle speeds to approx. 8 km/h (approx.), making car parks safer for pedestrians and motorists. Constructed from 100% recycled tyres, GNR speed bumps are preformed to ensure a smooth, safe ride. The channelled bottom helps facilitate drainage as well as cover cabling or piping. The Easy Rider Speed Ramps flexible design conforms to the contour of virtually any road surface. End caps can also be purchased to protect the ends as well as vehicles.
The Easy Rider Speed Ramp can be installed for temporary or permanent use, and is covered by a 3 year warranty and a 1 year warranty on the yellow tape (under normal usage). The black and yellow design makes it highly visible, allowing motorists to see it in bad lighting and at night. Don't forget to get your "Ramps Ahead" sign for further safety, ensuring drivers know about upcoming bumps. The tough design of the speed bump makes it ideal for:
- Car parks
- Schools and universities
- Shopping centres and office blocks
The entire speed ramp can usually be installed in a number of hours, and you don't have to wait for it to settle like asphalt and concrete speed bumps. Seeing as the mid-sections are extra-long, it takes even less time to install the ramp as compared to other speed ramps and less fixtures. Pittman Traffic and Safety Equipment keep the 1800mm Easy Rider Speed Ramp Section in stock, so order before 1:00pm and we can deliver it to you the next working day.
- Length: 1800mm
- Width: 305mm,
- Height: 57mm,
- Material: Recycled Tyres
Channel for wire/hose: Two 31mm round channels on the underside

|The Princess and the Goblin
|At the Back of the North Wind
|The Princess and Curdie
George MacDonald was a sickly boy, often in bed with pleurisy. But he did his share of work on his father's farm, surveying and tilling the soil. The farm was in northern Scotland, near the town of Huntly, where he was born. He had plenty of good times, too. With his five brothers he swam and fished in the rivers and in winter dug caves in the snow and had snowball battles. He loved to ride horseback. On market days he would hurry from school to the inn where the shepherds gathered and listen to their talk in the Gaelic language. It did not matter that his clothes were shabby.
At the age of sixteen he entered King's College in the city of Aberdeen, many miles away. He took an active part in the school debates and in drawing room charades, but otherwise did not mix much with other students. Receiving his A.M. degree, he went to London, England, and worked three years as tutor in a private home. Then he studied for the Congregational ministry at Highbury College, London.
At twenty-five, MacDonald became the village pastor at Arundel, in Sussex, England. He was married to Louisa Powell, and they had eleven children, four of whom died in his lifetime. Forced to resign the Arundel pastorate after three years because of his liberal views, he lived for a time in Manchester, preaching, lecturing, and writing. During this period he grew a beard and published his first book, a dramatic poem, which brought him the friendship of John Ruskin and Lady Byron, widow of the poet Lord Byron. Another friend was Lewis Carroll, whose manuscript of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was published largely because of the MacDonald children's enthusiasm for it.
After a visit to Algiers in northern Africa for his health, and a period at Hastings on the English channel, MacDonald settled in London and adopted the profession of literature. In his thirty-fourth year he began publishing fairy tales for children. But it was with a series of novels of Scottish peasant life that he achieved conspicuous success. For several years money was scarce, his sole income being from teaching and lecturing. One day, when there was not one penny in the house and scarcely enough food for the children's dinner, the postman brought a letter enclosing a check for Ł300, or about $1,500, left him by Lady Byron, who had died.
At forty-eight MacDonald made a lecture tour of the United States, his most popular subject being Robert Burns. A sum of money was raised for him, inasmuch as his novels had been published in America without his permission, bringing him nothing.
Out of consideration for his daughter Mary Josephine, who was gravely ill, MacDonald went to Italy in his fifty-third year. The girl died, but he found the climate so beneficial to his own health that he remained there the rest of his life, except for periodical visits to England, in the summers. At Bordighera, on the Italian Riviera, he settled in a house planned by himself and donated largely by friends. He called the house Casa Coraggio. Twice a week, Wednesday and Sunday, in the huge main room of Casa Coraggio, he entertained many friends and strangers. Usually he would talk to them about literature, or, on Sunday, read the Bible. His son and biographer Greville MacDonald recalls him at such times "with his white head and beard, his searching blue eyes, his crimson velvet cap, seated in a low armchair by the fire, two candles on a little gate-legged table before him."
On other occasions the room was the scene of organ concerts by Mrs. MacDonald, the entire proceeds going to the Catholic Church where she was organist and choir director. Or there would be dances, entertainments, and orations. At Christmas time the members of the family gave living tableaux, or pictures, with children of the town as audience.
MacDonald suffered all his life from illness. Various treatments did little good. He was most benefited by his ability to lie down and sleep at any moment. His chief recreation was driving and then he would be seen in a white serge suit, red cloak, and a gray felt hat.
He died in England, at Ashtead, Surrey, at the age of eighty, outliving his wife by three years. His body was cremated and the ashes carried to Italy and buried at Bordighera beside his wife's grave.
In forty-two years of writing he produced some fifty volumes, mostly novels. At the Back of the North Wind is the favorite with boys and girls, along with two other fairy tales: The Princess and the Goblin and its sequel The Princess and Curdie. Also popular are his stories The Light Princess, A Double Story, and Ranald Bannerman's Boyhood.
George MacDonald's eldest son, Greville MacDonald, also became a writer of stories for children, but only after a long career as physician at King's College Hospital. He was born January 20, 1856, in Manchester. At the age of six, when his mother had finished reading the manuscript of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, he exclaimed that "there ought to be sixty thousand volumes of it." At sixty-six, after producing a number of books on medical subjects, he wrote a fairy romance called Billy Barnicoat and this is the book by which he is best known to young readers. It concerns the magical adventures of a boy brought up among the superstitious fisher folk of a little haven on the Cornish coast of England. There is a sequel, County Billy, [should be Count Billy] in which the boy experiences shipwreck and capture by pirates. The books are illustrated by Francis Bedford.
Greville MacDonald makes his home at Wildwood, Haslemere, England.

Social Security Matters
Ask Rusty - Working & Social Security; Remarried Ex-Spouse
By RUSSELL GLOOR, AMAC Certified Social Security Advisor
March 08, 2017
Dear Working: Yours is becoming a much more common question as more and more people are choosing to work even after they are entitled to receive Social Security benefits. Social Security's rules say that if you work and are receiving benefits but have not yet reached your full retirement age (which for you is 66) and you earn more than their annual earnings limit, they will "take back" half of everything you earn over the earnings limit (which for 2017 is $16,920). The way they do this is by withholding what you owe from future benefit payments, which could cause you to not receive benefits for a number of months until they recover what you owe. This would happen every year up to the year you turn 66, which would mean that during that working timeframe you would have gone some number of months without receiving Social Security. In the year you turn 66, the amount you can earn is much more generous and the amount they withhold is much less. After you turn age 66 you can earn as much as you like without penalty.
The way you "get back" what they withheld is this: When you reach your full retirement age, Social Security will recalculate your benefit amount taking into account the number of months you did not receive benefits in those working years between age 62 and 66. They will then advance your original start-of-benefits date by the number of months you didn't receive benefits, effectively moving your start date forward and increasing your benefit amount accordingly. If, for example, you originally applied at age 62 and continued to work and, over the course of those years between age 62 and 66, you did not receive benefits for a total of 12 months, when you reached age 66 your benefit start date would be moved to age 63 and instead of receiving the $1,000 per month for the rest of your life, you would get about $1,070. So while they do take away some benefits while you are working, the increase you receive at your full retirement age will last for the rest of your life.

Today's Makeup tutorial & review is all about the new Mac X Jeremy Scott Collection. The theme of the collection is deliciously 90's analog! "Good Bad Taste" abounds with packaging and product names inspired by Cassettes, Video Tapes, Boom Boxes and CD's. I bought the Lo-Fi Eyeshadow x 29 palette, which has 29 rainbow hued eyeshadows. I love the palette, and the ONLY color that gave me any trouble was the bright purple in the lower right corner, "Club New Wave Mix". This type of matte blue-toned purple is hard to create, I can't say I have a dupe that performs better. It's sheer at first, but it does build up beautifully as you'll see in the video. My swatches were done with my normal method of UDPP and a Smith 256 Brush. The only call out would be that the pans are indeed small, but I mean, it's 29 MAC shadows for $75 so I don't feel that it's a bad deal! I love the palette for it's creativity, color and texture selection. Did I mention that most of the shadows are Matte? I'm also really happy this isn't another Warm Smoky Eye palette. The neutrals here lean on the cool side.This is a hella useful palette and I love it! I would recommend this to a friend seeking bright shadows in a rainbow hues with a few neutrals thrown in.
Jeremy Scott Palette is available at maccosmetics.com ulta.com and nordstrom.com

Seen ''Lone Survivor''? Then you know the only reason Survivor survives is because a certain Afghan family hides him and helps him escape. You may not remember that the family was identified as a specific tribe of Afghanis called the Pashtuns. And I'm thinking you probably don't know why that made all the difference.
The eight million Pashtuns that inhabit Afghanistan (and northern Pakistan) speak Pushto. The movie (in the endnotes), goes on to say that the Pashtuns have a different tribal code than their Afghani neighbors. And so they do.
It's called the Torah.
Ok, it's actually it's called Pashtunwali. But Pashtunwali would appear to stem directly from the Torah, because the Pashtuns (or Pathans) traditionally call themselves the Bnei Israel (sons of Israel), claiming to be descended from Jewish tribes (their tribal names: Levani, Daftali, Yusuf, Ashuri, etc, hinting at Hebrew origins) that were marched through the Khyber Pass as part of the Assyrian conquest. And although now they make up the bulk of the Taliban, according to their oral history they were carried away from Israel in the Assyrian conquest and forced to convert to Islam by Muslims expanding their territories in 622.
The Pashtuns, in fact, claim that the city of Kabul stands for "Cain and Abel" and that the name of their current home, Afghanistan, is derived from "Afghana," the grandson of King Saul of the tribe of Benjamin.
Evidence of an ancient presence of Jews in Afghanistan is abundant. An ancient Jewish settlement has been identified in Herat (near the Iranian border); a graveyard there is littered with tombs which house long-dead Israelites with their names inscribed in Hebrew. Stone tablets with Hebrew inscriptions dating from 1115 to 1215 confirm the existence of a Jewish community in Firoz Koh, located between Herat and Kabul.
Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, is also host to a long-abandoned, centuries old synagogue. Most of what might have confirmed a wide Jewish presence in Afghanistan, however, was obliterated by the Mongol Invasion of 1222, led by Genghis Khan.
But the Pashtun are raised on stories of their origins as Children of Israel. Specifically, children of Ephraim. (Ephraim being known as Afridi in Pashto.) And preliminary DNA testing has shown that the Pashtun tribe known specifically as Afridi do, in fact, share genetic markers with their Jewish neighbors, with nearly half of Afridis tested sharing markers found widely in the Jewish population.
Additional testing showed that the genetic homology between the Pashtun and European Jews was nearly identical to the homology observed between European Jewish DNA and that of Iraqi and Iranian Jews.
Intriguingly, the rare genetic disease inclusion body myopathy 2, a muscle-wasting syndrome, was known to occur only in Jews--specifically Iranian Jews. That is, until doctors identified the same unusual disorder in the Pashtuns in Afghanistan--an observation though to result from a "founder mutation effect", i.e., an original mutation in an ancestor common to all current cases.
''Verrrrry interesting'', as Artie Johnson used to say.
The really interesting thing, however, is that God has revealed Israel's history in prophecy, and apparently the Pashtuns are no exception.
Afghan history, written in a book entitled "Mahsan-I-Afghani" (published in 1635) records that Afghana was the son of Jeremiah, the son of King Saul (of the tribe of Benjamin).
(A little-known fact that fueled claims by the monarchy in Afghanistan to the throne of Israel as well.)
Saul, the king provided to Israel by Jehovah because of their incessant demands to be like the other nations. (I Samuel 8:7)
So isn't it interesting that God also prophesied that, "The LORD will bring you and the king whom you set over you to a nation which neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you shall serve other gods—wood and stone."
The Israelites insisted on a king and they got one-- Saul—the very king that the Pathans claim descent from. And despite descent from an Israeli king, they were nonetheless forced to serve the Islamic god, Allah.
Allah, who intriguingly demands that, as one of the five pillars of Islam, all Muslims make pilgrimage to Mecca. And the point of the pilgrimage to Mecca is to kiss al-ajar al-Aswad.
A black stone.
By the way, the most famous member of the Pashtun tribe-- a young girl with startlingly green eyes-- adorned the cover of two National Geographic covers nearly 20 years apart. Here she is at age 13 and at 30:
The Pashtuns are known as the most warlike tribe in Afghanistan, and it is said of them that they are only at peace when they are at war.
But at least one Pashtun family went out of their way to protect a stranger. Pray for these lost sheep of Jerusalem.

Coast Guard Petty Officer Kelly Parker said five people believed to be members of the Makah Tribe shot and harpooned the whale Saturday morning. The extent of the whale's injuries were not immediately known.
Tribe members were being held by the Coast Guard but had not been charged, said Mark Oswell, a spokesman for the law enforcement arm of the National Marine Fisheries Service.
A preliminary report said the whale was shot with a .50-caliber machine gun, Oswell said.
When asked about questionable choice of using a .50 caliber machine gun in a "cultural subsistence hunting" outing, Makah tribesmen were heard to say, "You try taking down one of these bastards with spears, arrows, and some elbow grease, mister."

In this article we will explain everything you need to know about varifocals and we will draw a clear line between facts and myths.
Once you have read this article, you will know the following:
1 - What are varifocals?
Varifocals are glasses
that enable clear vision at all distances
The lenses, which has a prescription for all distances, are used to correct highly defective vision. Depending on which part of the lenses you look through, the vision at that specific distance will then be clear.
The distance zone is located at the upper edge of the lenses, which enables you to see clearly in the long distance.
All objects that can be seen in the intermediate area (e.g. such as cars, radio, navigation system) are shown clearly.
The more the eyes move downwards, the more you find yourself looking through the reading area of the lenses clearly.
Varifocals and bifocals are different in many aspects - although in the past, both were used to correct presbyopia.
Bifocals have 2 advantages. The top portion of the lens is used for distance, while the bottom portion of the lens has a round segment which is used to view objects close to you. However, bifocals do not have an intermediate area. While wearing bifocals you jump from one vision to the other and this can lead to accidents like tripping over stairs.
2 - When are varifocals recommended? Advantages and disadvantages
Somewhere around the age of 45, many people develop a condition known as presbyopia. Also known as "elder eye", this common problem involves difficulty focusing on near objects and is a natural result of the aging process. In some cases, eyestrain and headaches are also associated with presbyopia. The condition can occur in conjunction with other vision issues such as myopia. For people with both conditions, a varifocal or progressive type of corrective lens offers a good solution because they allow the wearer the ability to focus at varying distances.
The reason presbyopia occurs is because the eyes lose the ability to accommodate to different distances and therefore cannot focus on looking at objects clearly anymore.
When presbyopia begins, people will squint or hold reading materials at arm's length to help their eyes focus. This is obviously uncomfortable and a strain to the eyes.
At this point, you should consider varifocal glasses in order to see clearly at all distances without having to permanently switch glasses.
Once you learn to appreciate the comfort of wearing modern glasses, you should then rely only on the latest technology for varifocal lenses.
- Varifocals combine reading and distance glasses all at the same time, thanks to different vision zones. Your optician can enlarge the zones that you require most and fit them according to your visual needs.
- The advantage of varifocals in comparison to bifocals is that there is no presence of lines on the lenses, allowing clear and comfortable vision at all distances
- Numerous vision impairments can be corrected at the same time (including astigmatism).
- A removal of the lines offers a rapid transition between the visual zones.
- You get clear and smooth vision, even at intermediate distances, which is ideal at work.
- Without eyesight restriction: varifocals are up to +/- 10 diopters customisable.
- Dizziness and headaches are likely during the familiarisation phase. It might take a few weeks but your eyes will get used to the new lenses
- Your habitual vision changes as the head must also follow the eye movements. Pure eye movements to the left or right would lead to blurring at the edges of the varifocal lens.
- Due to the more complex manufacturing process, varifocal lenses are more expensive than single vision lenses; however you save yourself the purchase of a second or third pair of additional glasses.
What are the differences between varifocals and bifocals?
"Bi" means two, which indicates that a bifocal glass consists of only two viewing areas.
On one hand, there is a large long distance area, which allows you to at look objects far away. In addition, a close up /reading area is incorporated into a bifocal glass. This close up area is located in the lower part of the lenses and facilitates reading and writing.
What is missing is the intermediate range, which is present in a varifocal lenses.
In the case of a bifocal lens, it is necessary to approach either the object to be viewed at medium distances, or go further away in order to see this clearly through the distance range - as a rule of thumb, from 50cm to 2m distance from the body.
Most spectacle wearers therefore refuse to wear bifocals and choose varifocals lenses because they appreciate the comfort and performance.
3 - What types of lenses exist for varifocals?
Varifocals are offered in different combinations
While there are frames in all sorts of materials and forms for you to choose from, for your new pair of varifocals, you can select the following materials for your lenses: mineral, synthetic material and polycarbonate.
Moreover, depending on the prescription and frame, you can select between the high index lenses (thinner and lighter lenses).
In case of varifocal lenses, a distinction is also made between three different types of glasses:
On the market there are usually three types of varifocals: "Basic, Comfort and Premium."
The differences can be found mainly in the size of the individual visual areas which flows smoothly from one lens to the other in order to guarantee a seamless vision at all distances.
At specsfactory.co.uk we only offer premium varifocals

All-inclusive package plus insurance
Blurry vision is reduced
Large visual fields
A high level of wearing comfort

All-inclusive package plus insurance
Blurry vision is reduced
Large visual fields
A high level of wearing comfort
If you'd like thin, light lenses then we recommend that you choose high refractive index materials (synthetic or polycarbonate). Both materials are especially light and combined with hard coating are very robust and usable during everyday activities.
4 - What is it going to cost?
While purchasing glasses, aspects such as frame, production of lenses and extras such as protective coatings should be taken into consideration. These services and the work of our partner opticians and production facility are also taken into consideration. So it's good to know that these 3 aspects are factored into our prices.
1. Our lenses are produced using the state-of the-art optical technology with German machinery. We can offer you high-end varifocal lenses at a sensational price.
2. Our high quality frames are produced by an experienced team in Paris, that identifies the newest trends and with this knowledge produces modern and everyday wearable frames. You are most welcome to also combine your lenses with other brand frames.
3. With our exclusive glasses offer, you automatically receive a complete thought-through package. You'll receive light, synthetic premium lenses with large visual fields, as well as the following coating treatments: anti-glare, hard-coating and clean coating, a frame, 1-year glasses insurance and 100% satisfaction guarantee - as part of an all-inclusive package
Premium varifocal lenses
High-quality frames
Insurance package is included
Find out more about our coatings and other extras which are included here:
Anti-glare coating The polished surface of the lenses reflect the light shining on it, which can be irritating for the wearer as well as for the person being spoken to. Anti-glare helps reduce the amount of light that goes through the lenses and improves the ability to see. The thin coating is particularly helpful at nighttime while standing in traffic, minimising glare and annoying reflections in the lenses. This coating is capable of dealing with 99% of reflection.
Hard coating The lenses become more robust with this coating and therefore last longer.
You can then take your glasses on and off without worry and also do sports and other activities on a daily basis.
Clean coatingWith clean coating treatment it becomes harder for dust and dirt particles to stick on to the lenses. The surface of the lenses is easier to clean, they're protected from stains and hard water deposits and there's no need for aggressive cleansers.
It provides an easy to clean surface, resulting in :
• preventing stains
• easy to remove hard water deposits
• no need for aggressive cleaners
Super H2 This lotus coating has a greater surface tension and is used as a repellent against any liquid, making cleaning easier.
iBlue This reflects the blue light levels from modern displays - such as LCD/LED monitors, TVs, smartphones and tablets - which are harmful to the retina. In addition, your eyes do not tire so quickly and your efficiency increases.
Buying the right pair of glasses can be an expensive affair
But we say "Not with us"
5 - Which frame is perfect for varifocal lenses
When selecting a suitable material for your lenses, you also need to factor in the appropriate frame
You can only select lenses made out of synthetic or polycarbonate material if you have a rimless or a half-rim frame, because the lenses made out of mineral are too sensitive and can break easily.
Moreover, the frame should be 30 mm high, so that there is enough space for the different visual fields to provide the best possible vision.
Do not forget to undergo an eye examination
Before you select everything, you need a current prescription that isn't older than an year. If you don't have this, you'll require a new eye test.
You can either do an eye test at one of our partner opticians or take your previous prescription on the day of your appointment.
A professional eye examination and perfect centralisation of the varifocals is necessary for optimum vision; so allow some time for the eye test and fitting.
Get your varifocals in 3 steps :
1. Reserve a spot
Select a partner optician and book an appointment. One of our team will then call you and book your appointment with the selected partner optician.
2. Have your consultation and/or eye test
Your local partner optician will perform an eye examination if necessary and help you with your frame selection
3. Collecting your glasses
We'll let you know when your glasses are ready for collection. The final adjustment and fitting will be carried out by the partner optician.

Gmail's Priority Inbox Is Awesome
Priority Inbox is one of Gmail's best unsung features. If you get a ton of emails a day, and sifting through them—let alone getting notifications for them—is a nightmare. Now your inbox is divided into multiple categories, so you see the important stuff right up top, out of the way of the junk.
With Priority Inbox turned on, Gmail will only notify you when you have an important message. If you keep Gmail open in a tab, that unread count only goes up if you get an important email, so you aren't constantly tempted by an overflowing inbox.
If you use Gmail for Android, you only get push notifications when something important comes through, so your phone isn't buzzing all day. Here are a few ways to speed that process along.
- First: Go About Your Email As Normal: Priority Inbox learns, first and foremost, just by watching you. If you frequently read messages from a specific sender, it learns to mark those as important, and if you frequently reply to emails from them, it knows even better. If you delete stuff without reading it, it'll learn that those aren't important. So, the last thing you should do is just go about your email as normal. Give Priority Inbox a bit of time to learn from your actions. If you don't want to wait, you should use Filters and Labels features.
- Use Filters and Labels: Filters help Priority Inbox learn really fast. Say you want to mark emails from your coworkers as important. Just create a Gmail filter that matches from: yourcompany.com and check the box that says "Always Mark As Important." Similarly, you can use any filter to never mark messages as important. Labels work well for this, too. For example, I have a filter that applies a label called "Internal" to emails coming from one of my coworkers. Gmail now recognizes that many Internal emails are important, though it doesn't always mark them as important. Depending on the sender and the context of the message, it will use the Internal label as one more deciding factor.
3. Actively Mark Messages As Important (or Not Important): Before it has time to analyze your behavior, Gmail does a lot of guesswork when marking messages as important. It is just a lick to change a message's importance. If Gmail made wrong guesses, just click the little yellow tag to toggle that.
4. See Why Emails Are Marked as Important: if you're confused as to why Gmail's marked a message as important, just hover your mouse over that little yellow tag and it'll tell you! Usually it's because of "the people in the conversation," because you "often read messages with this label".

The Power of Place
I have been told that in the U.S. one's "twenties" are about finding yourself and finding your place. This summer I have explored new places with a new team. Assetmap has taken me from Providence to Chicago and across the path of the gold rush to San Francisco. I have slept on sofas, in closets, and along riverbeds on the way to this foggy city. But even with long days in the car, and prolonged hours in coffee shops I cannot say that I have found myself. On the contrary, I have found myself lost more often than found (lots of one way streets and mountainous streets in the Bay). When I landed in the Mission district of San Francisco, the dynamic and diverse community overwhelmed me. I quickly retreated into my work and into my new home, trying to find myself in this new place. Yet after weeks of sitting behind my computer working in cafes, I was no closer to knowing my new neighborhood or myself. The self-awareness I had sought was not forthcoming.
Last week, with work in a whirlwind, the team at Assetmap decided to take a few days off from the café hopping to begin our search for a more permanent home. This brought us to spaces I never expected to find: law office, co-working spaces, and tech incubators. Through the process of office hunting, seeing new communities, I realized why I was lost in reclusion. I was only going to "find myself" when I "found my place" situated in a larger community. The right community could provide a sense of belonging and meaning, new opportunities, and a safety net in hard times.
The three options that we explored revealed unique ways of creating a sense of place. At the small office space we could build something totally unique from the ground up. In a co-working space we had the opportunity to embed ourselves in a young community with upward trajectory. Lastly, at the tech incubator we saw the chance to enter a robust and deep network.
I never expected to land a corner office in a lawfirm. Our first visit was in an old attorney's office with all the amenities I had seen on the set of… "The Office." The next-door professionals were dressed in drab business casual, a rare site outside of the financial district. The neighborhood was nice, and it would give us the opportunity to create a name for ourselves, but it was not our space. This was apparent, as we would have taken the spot for another start-up doing design for social businesses, who had clearly worn tired of making a name in a place they did not fit.
Alternatively, co-working spaces were a new and enlightening phenomenon. There were open offices with round tables for small business owners, designers, programmers, and entrepreneurs to share in a collaborative work environment. Our favorites, Citizen Space and Parisoma, are coffee shop-esque spaces with printers and conference rooms. Both host community events multiple times a week, and members are expected to contribute to other members work a few hours a week. Joining this community would be an opportunity to build a name for ourselves and support our co-workers.
Lastly, we drove through the San Francisco fog monster into pristine Sunnyvale CA to be wowed by Plug & Play, a tech accelerator and incubator. This bustling international office had over 200 companies as well as satellite workspace from every major university (a Brown space was conspicuously missing, despite alums throughout the building). Although a new community, Plug & Play already attracted the smartest minds from technology, business, and investment to accelerate the growth trajectory of nascent tech companies. To say the least we felt like a small fish in a big sea. This intensely competitive environment, with dozens of companies in "stealth mode," clearly drives innovation if you have what it takes.
We settled on a hybrid route. Our new space is in the heart of the mission in the skeleton of a failed dot-com: evidence from the gold rush of the new millennium. But our new home is no traditional office space, we are working in a room that includes base camp of The Hub (a co-working space for social entrepreneurs about to open in Berkley), the organizers of Social Capital Markets (the premier U.S. conference for social entrepreneurs), B-Lab (a design firm building a 'good' focused product line) and Good Capital (a premiere investment fund for social enterprise), organizations we are passionate to be working around. This quasi co-working space is a dynamic work environment with big ideas constantly bouncing off the walls. More importantly we have found a community to build real meaning and new opportunities, and if we get off track our new friends will act as a compass to set us straight (it also doesn't hurt to have a view of the entire city).
We have emerged from the coffee shops where writers and programmers type ferociously on their computers, rarely taking time to even notice each other. Seraching for a working space and a new community has set me and Assetmap on the right course. This reaffirms my belief that I can only know myself when I am a part of a dynamic and supportive community. Not only do I have more to gain, but I now have more to give. Surely this is only just the beginning.

Peruvian Cuisine
Latest Stories
The talent that shot Ricardo Zarate to success is on full display at Rosaliné.
Peruvian chef Ricardo Zarate is back with Rosaliné, a West Hollywood restaurant named for his mother. The scale of the place is more moderate than some of the huge, sprawling restaurants he headed before, and it feels more personal as a result. The talent that shot Zarate to success in the first place is on full display here, and fans of his past cooking will recognize the format and the flavors: so much to choose from, so much brightness, a deft mix of traditional Peruvian dishes and ingredients, and the vivid, fresh, meant-for-sharing aesthetic upon which L.A. dining thrives (an aesthetic that, it could be argued, Zarate had a hand in creating). This is not food you can eat casually, without much thought; it demands your attention. Read Besha Rodell's full review.
Zarate, who was named Food & Wine's Best New Chef in 2012 based on his bright Peruvian flavors at Mo-Chica, had a meteoric rise. Just as quickly, it all disappeared — but now he's back.
Since departing from his trio of well-known restaurants in late 2014, Los Angeles has missed the cooking for Ricardo Zarate. Ever since he was discovered serving bright food at the original Mo Chica in the Mercado La Paloma, Zarate has been considered the city's leading Peruvian chef, and while he's...
You may not have heard of Walther Adrianzen — a 28-year-old Peruvian-American chef whose exploits include serving deep-fried guinea pig at a one-night dinner party in Rosemead — but if you've sought out any of L.A.'s more avant-garde Peruvian cooking in the past year or two, there's a good chance...
We may have grown accustomed by now to having quinoa as a grain option, but a quick chat with chef Ricardo Zarate of Picca, Mo-Chica, and Paichewill prove we've only just begun to explore its potential beyond having it as a side dish. "I really like to work with quinoa,...

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. –- Arkansas junior Michael Washington has been named second-team All-District 21 by the National Association of Basketball Coaches, the organization announced on Thursday.
Washington, from McGehee, Ark., leads the team in scoring with 15.8 points, rebounding with 9.6 and blocked shots with 1.4. He is also 10th in the Southeastern Conference in scoring, tied for first in rebounding, seventh in blocked shots and third with a .556 field goal percentage.
The 6-9 forward has 11 double-doubles this season, the most for a Razorback since Derek Hood set the school record with 18 in 1999.
Washington has led the team in scoring 12 times and in rebounding 19 times this season. He has 21 double-figure scoring games, nine 20-point games and 13 double-figure rebounding games.
Washington entered the season with career averages of 3.9 points and 3.0 rebounds. As a sophomore, in just over 13 minutes a game, he averaged 4.3 points and 3.9 rebounds.
The all-district first team includes Florida's Nick Calathes, Kentucky's Jodie Meeks, South Carolina's Devan Downey, LSU's Marcus Thornton and Tennessee's Tyler Smith.
Washington is joined on the second team by UK's Patrick Patterson, LSU's Tasmin Mitchell, Mississippi State's Jarvis Varnado and Ole Miss' David Huertas.
This is the fifth straight season a Razorback has earned NABC All-District honors. Ronnie Brewer was a first-team selection in 2005 and 2006, Patrick Beverley a second-team pick in 2007 and Sonny Weems a second-team choice last year.

Quote Section
"There are very many characteristics which go into making a model civil servant. Prominent among them are probity, industry, good sense, good habits, good temper, patience, order, courtesy, tact, self-reliance, many deference to superior officers, and many consideration for inferiors."
Chester A. Arthur
"The office of the Vice-President is a greater honor than I ever dreamed of attaining."
Chester A. Arthur
"The extravagant expenditure of public money is an evil not to be measured by the value of that money to the people who are taxed for it."
Chester A. Arthur
"Royalty is a government in which the attention of the nation is concentrated on one person doing interesting actions. A Republic is a government in which that attention is divided between many, who are all doing uninteresting actions. Accordingly, so long as the human heart is strong and the human reason weak, Royalty will be strong because it appeals to diffused feeling, and Republics weak because they appeal to the understanding."
Walter Bagehot
"It is often said that men are ruled by their imaginations; but it would be truer to say they are governed by the weakness of their imaginations."
Walter Bagehot
"Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else."
Frédéric Bastiat
"Governing today means giving acceptable signs of credibility. It is like advertising and it is the same effect that is achieved--commitment to a scenario."
Jean Baudrillard
"The object of government in peace and in war is not the glory of rulers or of races, but the happiness of the common man."
William Beveridge, Lord
"I have seen in my time two enormous extensions of the suffrage to men--one in America and one in England. But neither the negroes in the South nor the agricultural laborers in Great Britain had shown before they got the ballot any capacity of government; for they had never had the opportunity to take the first steps of political action. Very different has been the history of the march of women toward a recognized position in the State. We have had to prove our ability at each stage of progress, and have gained nothing without having satisfied a test of capacity."
Harriot Stanton Blatch
"With a little more deliberation in the choice of their pursuits, all men would perhaps become essentially students and observers, for certainly their nature and destiny are interesting to all alike."
Henry David Thoreau
"We have constructed a fate, an Atropos, that never turns aside. (Let that be the name of your engine.)"
Henry David Thoreau
"Circumstances define us; they force us onto one road or another, and then they punish us for it."
Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev
"Nothing can have as its destination anything other than its origin. The contrary idea, the idea of progress, is poison."
Simone Weil
"The child ... stands upon a place apart, a little spectator of the world, before whom men and women come and go, events fall out, years open their slow story and are noted or let go as his mood chances to serve them. The play touches him not. He but looks on, thinks his own thought, and turns away, not even expecting his cue to enter the plot and speak. He waits,--he knows not for what."
Woodrow Wilson
"Only ambition is fired by the coincidences of success and easy accomplishment but nothing is quite as splendidly uplifting to the heart as the defeat of a human being who battles against the invincible superiority of fate. This is always the most grandiose of all tragedies, one sometimes created by a dramatist but created thousands of times by life."
Stefan Zweig
"The principal, the only, thing a man makes, is his condition of fate. Though commonly he does not know it, nor put up a sign to this effect, "My own destiny made and mended here." (Not yours.) He is a master workman in the business. He works twenty-four hours a day at it, and gets it done. Whatever else he neglects or botches, no man was ever known to neglect this work. A great many pretend to make shoes chiefly, and would scout the idea that they make the hard times which they experience."

[VIDEO] Han Yue Earns Tightest Parallel Park Record
Parallel parking is becoming something of a lost art form. Many of us struggle to fit our cars into even the most generous of spaces when the cruel world rids us of all perpendicular options. One man, Han Yue, however, is keeping the art alive. In fact, Han of China just broke the Guinness World Record for Tightest Parallel Park.
Just how tight? The man left nothing but an 8cm gap during the "China Drift Championship" that was held last month at Chongqing Olympic Park. Check it out:
Han beat the previous record for Tightest Parallel Park by 0.6cm; that record had been held by Alastair Moffatt of Britain, set over a year ago in July of 2013. His record of 8.6cm was believed to be unbeatable. Han had previously held the record at 15cm, which he set back in 2012, until Moffatt stole it from him.
But one record is never enough, right? Han also went for a very oddly specific record: most donuts around a car driving on two wheels in one minute. You can check out that successful record below as well:
Reportedly, Han says he wanted to break these records to remind the world that China was a country of world-leading drivers. Plus, he probably wasn't too happy that a man with a name like Moffatt had stolen the record from him last year.
Han's endeavors might be impressive, but we still think this New York driver has him beat:
Need more parking advice? Here are some ways not to park (on Black Friday—or ever, really).

The day started with breakfast with Kirin Gupta, my Indian gap year-taking twin on campus. We got to exchange notes on the "first year of college after gap year" phenomenon, as well as exchange both general notes on our academic interests and expressions of our undying love for one another. Always a great way to start the day.
On the way back to my dorm, I purchased some organic kiwis as a birthday present for my kiwi-loving roommate Eliza Chang! I arrayed these on her desk before walking down to the river in today's 70s and cloudless weather.
Taking place today was the Head of the Charles Regatta, the world's largest two-day rowing event, which takes place right here at Harvard every year. The sun and the crowds and the energy were amazing.
I retreated from the race to a nearby cafe to begin my research project on Sustainable Cities!
This is a report I'll be writing for my freshman seminar (Public Policy Approaches to Global Climate Change) and I couldn't be more excited! Reading about urbanization and urban innovation in the midst of such energizing surroundings was perhaps my favorite part of the day.
Scratch that. My favorite part of the day was what came next! The Harvard Opportunes, my amaaazing a cappella group and second family here on campus, performed at the wedding of Dan and David at the Harvard Faculty Club this afternoon, and the gig was incredible. The wedding was moved outdoors because of today's spectacular weather, and we sang beautifully (if I do say so myself) as we glistened in the autumn sun. Yeah!
Walking back from the quad, I called Mama and described my day to her with breathless excitement, and received a request to blog about it. So, here it is, and I'm off now to have dinner with one of my best friends before watching another one perform in The House of Yes.
Work can wait -- life is great.

Creative Vision
Hello there everybody. Welcome back to my art blog. Today I want to talk about creative vision. As artists it is essential that we visualise in our mind's eye what we are trying to achieve and how we want our piece to look before we even put paint or pencil to paper. If you do not start out with a level of intent then you are not truly producing a piece of art. You are merely putting paint on paper with the hope that something will materialise. This is not the mark of a true artist at all. Every great artist who has ever lived had a mental image of their final piece long before the easel was set up and the paint mixed. Some artists find this pre-visualization harder than others, but it is a skill that can be learned through process and practise. Try it before you create your next piece and make a mental comparison once finished. And be sure to take notes to refer back to a later date. In time, the process will become easier and easier and, for some, second nature. Once you have mastered this skill you will be on the road to becoming a true artist. Anyway folks, just a short post this time around. More a thought for the day than blog post really. Apologies for being brief but lots to do. But I will be back soon with a more substantial post that I know that you are going to love. Speak soon!
