wave outline outlineThere are many ways to curve a line, but this way is super easy for people to understand!
What you'll be making:
The Steps1. Open your background psd that you're using inside of the wave. Define it as a pattern.
2. Click on the pen tool and put a zig zag type of thing around the cutout. *don't connect the first and last dot yet!*
3. Click on the "Convert Point Tool." It's where the pen tool is, so you probably have to right click on the pen tool to find it. See the points that I outlined in red?
Using the Convert Point Tool, click on the first point and HOLD THE CLICK DO NOT LET GO. Move around and you should see that section of the line curving. This is what will happen with the lines when you're curving it.
4. Curve all of your points! This might take some practice, but I think it's the easiest way for beginners to curve.
5. Click on the pen tool and connect the last point to the first.
6. Right click inside and click "Make Selection" and then ok.
7. Click "Layer >> New Fill Layer >> Pattern" and choose the bg psd you defined in step 1.
8. Do whatever strokes you want.
I did 2px white, 2px #333333, 2px gradient. I usually do a 1px scanline and a dropshadow, but I forgot to save the picture of that so oops. My preppy stroke v1 tutorial explains this part in better details.

Carbon Robotics presents a modular robotic arm that has a hackable API, and can be trained for a wide variety of utilizes.
The torso of the robot is like one particular huge fat oval egg shape that does not have to be stressed over at this point, so extended as it loosely connects to all the other robot parts such as the arms, legs and the head. If soul ever enters the intelligent machine it will have the same difficulties with ethics and conscience as humans do and may possibly try to overthrow its programming.
One more well known tool to test psychic skills was the Ganzfield Experiments which started in the mid-1970s. This requires a single person attempting to telepathically communicate to a different person in yet another soundproof room, who is blindfolded and wears headphones emitting white or pink noise. Robotics is a field of knowledge that you could want to specialize if you are organizing to do some of the issues described above. Robotics encompasses the ins and outs from the designing to the constructing of functional robots.
Accutane has been located to enable some with acne, but the side effects are so extreme that the FDA could insist that it be pulled from the market place. This article discusses why that may well happen. Sometime immediately after I purchased my Mint, iRobot bought the machine and changed its name to Braava. It looks like mine, and appears to have all the functionality of mine, but I haven't operated it however. Bioloid robot kits are really high priced yet very good educational tool for young children. Three versions of this kit are obtainable in Amazon marketplace namely Beginner Kit, Extensive Kit and Premium Kit, you can see all of them under.
It would be prudent for solar makers to appear outdoors of their business for the greatest practices in high-volume manufacturing with automation and robotics to attain their price reduction initiatives. I heard anything about this robot arm utilizing Analog servos. I recall these are the new generation of servo motors with direct feedback. So there's a 4th wire in the servo motor interface which provides the positional feedback back to the controller.

Home More advice Love & Relationships
So here's the situation, I met this girl and we are attracted to each other so she ended up giving me her number. (Btw I'm in 10th grade and she's in 9th) The next day I ended up texting her and she gives one worded answers like Yeah(: or Okay(: and I don't know how to respond afterwards. What types of questions or topics should I bring up? I don't want to sound boring, I really want this to go well.
HI! I would ask her questions to get to know her better, like her likes, and dislikes. Girls love boys who pay attention to them. Ask her how her day was, If she has any brothers, or sisters, her favorite TV shows, tell her how pretty she is, but also open up to her about your day. She gave you her number for a reason. Don't be nervous just ask her questions about herself. I'm guessing you see each other at school? Talk about school too.
i hate when people text that way... haha it irritates me i just dont respond back.... haha but just be like what you up to? or how was your day? or b like me n say random stuff... hahaha or just ask her more about herself

Firefighters across Durham, Ontario, are launching a three-week campaign on Monday to educate residents about fire safety using an approach they haven't tried before.
"You have a better chance of having a fire in your home than winning the lottery, but people are buying lottery tickets and not installing smoke alarms," Pickerington Fire Inspector Julie Ineson is quoted as saying in Durham Region Daily.
Officials say that residents underestimate the frequency and causes of fire. They tend to hear about large loss, but are unaware of smaller events and near misses. Officials hope local fire statistics will get their attention.
As part of "Get Real Durham" select households will receive an automated telephone message from the local fire chief, who will identify fire statistics and what residents can do to protect their family from fire. Firefighters will go door-to-door educating residents about the reality of fire and install smoke alarms where needed.
NFPA's community toolkits–a resource for fire service members conducting education campaigns–and safety tips sheets include statistics on injury, and loss of life and property from fire.
Full reports and statistics are available from NFPA´s Fire Analysis and Research division.

Matthew 11:16-19
"But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their playmates,
"'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.'
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.' The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds."
Originally I thought these verses should be cut in half, with verses sixteen and seventeen being one post and then eighteen and nineteen being another. But after reviewing all four verses, I realized they are meant to be as one.
Jesus is addressing a crowd, after confirming to the disciples of John the Baptist that Jesus is the Messiah, the one sent by God.
John the Baptist and his disciples led a very austere life, fasting and with little comforts. John preached of the repentance of sin through Baptism. Jesus and his disciples enjoyed feasts and modest comforts afforded to them by followers and believers.
In verse 17 Christ says of his generation, primarily the leaders, the Pharisees and the priests:
We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;
Christ brought them a message of joy, hope and forgiveness of sin, and they were not moved.
we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.
John the Baptist reminded them of the wages of sin, which is death, and they were not moved.
In verses 18 and 19, Jesus tells them (the leaders), those who will not seek God or righteousness, how they respond to the facts that do not fit their agenda.
John did not eat or drink, well then, he must have demons.
Jesus ate and drank, well then, he's a glutton and a lush.
If this is how we behave with a prophet from God and the Son of God, why would we be any different today?
We see this same reaction today, in all the theaters of life, especially the political theater. The narrative must fit the agenda, otherwise it must be discredited and dismissed as evil and wrong. One person is a hero today but when they step outside the narrative they become the villain. This happens with all groups and types, no one person or group is exempt. It's the nature of man, the vanity of man. It's the vanity of mankind to be right in their own eyes and fulfill their prophesies, their selfish desires.
Christ speaks of the character assassination used on those who disagree or think differently. John the prophet of God must have a demon, Christ the Son of God is a drunkard and glutton. There is no conversation, no seeking of truth. All there is, is just protecting power at all costs.
It's what man does and man will always do. The desire for worldly treasures allows us to destroy those we perceive as a threat to meaningless things. We are willing to sacrifice truth and righteousness for worldly treasures that have no value.
Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.
The truth is the truth. John and Christ are justified. The truth will be seen by all someday.

Cinema and Jazz: three events to celebrate the relationship between the seventh art and the great Afro-American music starting Friday October 12
During the thirteenth Rome Film Fest, Casa del Jazz in Rome will host "The Magic Chord: Cinema and Jazz", three events curated by Luciano Linzi and Mario Sesti. The programme will open tomorrow, Friday October 12 at 9 pm, with the screening of Cocktail Bar, a documentary by Stefano Landini and Tony Lama. The film retraces the remarkable adventure of the Music Inn, a legendary Roman club which has featured the greatest jazz musicians of all time, such as Charles Mingus, Dexter Gordon, Max Roach, Gato Barbieri and Massimo Urbani.
The second event will take place on Monday October 22 at 9 pm: pianist, composer and arranger Enrico Pieranunzi will be the protagonist of an onstage conversation devoted to Herbie Hancock and his soundtracks, including those written for Blow-Up by Michelangelo Antonioni, Death Wish by Michael Winner and Round Midnight by Bertrand Tavernier.
"The Magic Chord: Cinema and Jazz" will close on Saturday October 27, at 9 pm, with Lino Patruno, who will turn his attention to one of the most beloved filmmakers of all time, four-time Oscar® winner Woody Allen. The musician will focus on Allen's passion for jazz showing how the great American jazz music of the 1930s and '40s played a fundamental role in many films by the New York artist.
How to participate
Tickets cost € 8 and are available at: Casa del Jazz ticket office; online www.ticketone.it; pre-sale ticket office phone service of TicketOne and Comune di Roma.
For further information: www.casajazz.it

Shame of the Cities: Why Marijuana Legalization Isn't Buying CA Nice Things
High taxes and hundreds of cities and counties refusing to legalize commercial cannabis sales means California isn't sitting on a pile of marijuana money.
Justine Wiley is a registered nurse in Santa Cruz County, California, a stretch of beaches and redwood-dotted mountains about two hours south of San Francisco. For the past year or so, Wiley has been traveling throughout the county working with low-income first-time mothers, troubleshooting all the various issues raising a child creates.
Visits from a do-it-all nurse-slash-social worker are the kind of services mothers take for granted in social democracies in Europe. This is simply what the state does. In California's case, Wiley's house visits started after state voters legalized marijuana in Nov. 2016. Taxed sales of recreational cannabis netted Santa Cruz County the $350,000 that's funding Wiley's road trips.
And yet what Santa Cruz is doing is unique. Using cannabis tax money to fund social services was one of the promises made by the backers of Prop. 64. Yet two and a half years after the vote, and almost 18 months into the era of licensed commercial sales, a relatively well-off county having extra money to provide its citizens nice things is a notable-enough development to warrant mention in a recent article in the San Jose Mercury News.
Other cities and towns in California just don't have it — because nobody has it.
Prop. 64 promised $1 billion in new state revenue. In order to reap such bounty, $7 billion in annual sales would be required. That's a lot of weed, but it seems feasible — at least in an uncomplicated world. Colorado, with 5.6 million residents, sells more than $1 billion worth of cannabis a year; California, with nearly 40 million people, could probably outdo Colorado by seven times.
The complication is California's, and the many cities and counties that decided commercial cannabis was some kind of menace. Prop. 64 allowed local governments final say over whether legalized cannabis would be allowed within their jurisdictions. And nearly two-thirds of local governments do not allow commercial sales or licensed cultivation. Thus they get no money — but they are also starving the state, as the Mercury News observed.
Former Gov. Jerry Brown, under whose cantankerous eye California finally regulated cannabis on a state level, projected state sales tax revenue at $630 million for the first year. The state recorded only $345 million in 2018, the Mercury News reported.
Current Gov. Gavin Newsom, Prop. 64's most prominent advocate, initially guessed that California would rake in $355 million in the current fiscal year, with $515 million the year after. Getting better, but still half of what was promised. But on second thought, even that was too rosy — on May 1, in revised budget figures, the state scaled back its projections to $288 million for the current year and $359 million for the next. Even less than what the first year brought in, with temporary licensing and with many cities and counties who do allow sales not yet passing the necessary laws to allow it.
What's wrong, who is to blame — and how can this be fixed? The prohibition mindset, partially, but Prop. 64 probably also promised too much — and state lawmakers allowed themselves to get too greedy too quickly.
As many as 6,000 legal and licensed commercial retail outlets were supposed to open, as the San Jose Mercury News recently observed. As of the end of May, just shy of 1,000 dispensary licenses have been issued by the state, the newspaper reported. Local bans play a role here. Even where licensed dispensaries are banned, there remains demand for cannabis, the world's favorite illicit drug. Therefore, there is incentive for numerous unlicensed dispensaries, including both storefronts and delivery services, to run risks and sell weed like they always did.
And there's really not much that risk. Off-book delivery services may always be a thing — how do you prevent anyone with internet, a phone, and some weed from advertising the service — but the resilience of unlicensed storefronts, and the inability of the authorities to protect the taxpaying market from such unfair competition, is a very legitimate concern.
California also taxes cannabis sales heavily. The tax burden is 40 percent or higher in some jurisdictions, depending on how crazy the local taxes are. As authorities in Colorado figured out early, if taxes are too damn high nobody will buy legal weed and one of the purposes of legalization is defeated. Remember that Prop. 64 wasn't sold to voters on a social-justice or "do the right thing" argument: It was a cynical-hysterical "this will bring us money while keeping the kids safe" justification.
Compare this again to experiences in Colorado. Perhaps most famously, the town of Edgewater, on Denver's western border, was able to repave streets and fund a new civic center with a library, gym, and City Hall with cannabis tax revenue — because it allowed dispensaries to operate past 7 p.m., the hour when sales in Denver were required to end.
The solution seems simple and obvious to libertarians and statists alike: Allow sales at a reasonable rate and you will earn money. Why this lesson is lost on California communities is a complicated question, but the ramifications are obvious. They're right there in the dwindling figures in the ledger.
TELL US, do you pay tax on your cannabis?
2 Comments
As a Canadian, I can buy gross dry irradiated govt weed for $12 a gram avg, or properly grown craft cannabis for $7 a gram avg. I go for the latter. The money says in the country, it creates jobs (albiet under the table), and I get quality product at a reasonable price. The last govt cannabis I had was so dry and harsh I didn't even want to smoke it, and I paid over $90 CAD for 7 grams. I just paid $60 Monday for 7 grams of the most sticky gassy bubblegum I've ever had. Govt cannabis cannot compete at all on price or quality. It's a damn shame, I want a reasonable legal market with quality product but they won't give it to us.
Cannabis is good for society and should be encouraged with minimal taxation.
The consumers of cannabis suffered greatly under prohibition. Why should they be made to pay the bill for the negligence of the perpetrators of the drug war.

It was a long week last week. Election week is stressful, blessed, and exhausting on any level.
Obviously, not everyone is pleased with the outcome of the election, but so be it. It is what it is, and now we move forward.
Life as I know it is good. It is good because I continue to believe that there is a plan for me. It is good because I continue to work hard as I always have to try and do what I see as that plan as it unfolds.
We may be facing some major changes in our world, but I have to believe that we can all do this. We can all do this as we unite as the one great nation that we are.
Life goes on in Colusa County, and it is evident that things for the better good are still in place.
This week, we will focus on two longstanding and successful events. On Nov. 19 and 20, we will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Holiday Craft Faire & Gift Show at the Colusa County Fairgrounds. I'm told it is bigger than usual and that there have been many improvements and additions to this year's Show.
On Nov. 19, the Family Water Alliance (FWA) will host its annual Hot Cajun Night dinner at St. Benedict's Hall. This is always a great evening and the proceeds support the efforts of water conservation by the FWA. This is the first year it has been held at St. Benedict's Hall. The reasoning being to have more space since it is such a popular event.
There's great food, wonderful auctions, and raffles. It is just a fun night.
As we look forward to Thanksgiving next week, I hope that we all take a moment to stop, reflect, and really think about the things for which we can be grateful.
I'm not happy with the protests that are going on around our nation, but I am happy that the protesters have the right to do it.
My wish is that they will be peaceful, not attack one another, not loot from the poor innocent shopkeepers, and not destroy property of those who may or may not have voted in a way different from their votes.
Life goes on and it will be what we make of it.
My goal is to continue to be the best that I can be and to continue to work for what I need.
In the last few months, I have had so many people tell me that they are happy for me and Tom. They say I deserve to be happy. My reply is always the same: "I don't deserve it any more than anyone else."
I don't think anyone deserves happiness more than the next person.
On Veteran's Day, we attended the annual Veteran's Day program in Colusa.
I looked on and saw the now adult faces of friends from my youth standing as proud veterans. We listened as they read the more than 700 names of Colusa County Veterans whose names adorn bricks on the Memorial Walls.
Among those honored were my friends George Sistrunk and Mike Pogue.
George's name was on one of the newly placed memorial bricks. They presented a framed memorial shadow box to the family of Mike. There were eight shadow boxes in all, but the one I remember most was for Mike.
Mike was a dear friend to many of us. It was one of those moments in your life that you just never forget: the day we learned that Mike was lost to us forever.
The guys were just babies when they went off to fight in Vietnam. Some came home and were there at the Park. Others, like Mike, were there in our memories.
I wished that Mike and George were there with us; somehow I think they were looking on.
Let's be proud, folks. Let's appreciate all of those men and women who have fought so that we can be free. If we need to protest, let's try to do it with the dignity of those who went before us.
Life if good today.

Special BioMat & FIR Considerations
Special Considerations and Contraindications for Using Far Infrared Therapy and the BioMat
■ Use of the BioMat on high heat settings should be limited to short periods of time. Do NOT use high settings overnight. Lower temperature settings can be used overnight.
■ Children, invalids, paralyzed or non-verbal persons should be monitored at all times while on the BioMat.
■ Never use high heat settings on children, or on women who are pregnant or nursing.
■ Avoid using any heat on infants.
■ For complete information on heat settings and uses see the BioMat Settings Guide.
Organ Transplants: Patients who have undergone organ transplants should not use the BioMat.
Oxygen masks: Use of the BioMat oxygenates the body; therefore, oxygen masks should not be worn while on the BioMat. Use of the mask can be resumed, if necessary, after the BioMat session is over.
Pacemakers: Internal pacemakers are safe for use with the BioMat.
Prescription Drugs: If you are taking prescription drugs, check with your physician or pharmacist about possible changes in the drug's effect due to an interaction with the effects of far infrared therapy. Individuals taking corticosteroids may experience some redness of the skin. If redness occurs, use of the BioMat should be discontinued until the course of medication is finished.
Diabetics: people with high blood pressure, allergies, asthma and severe toxicity should begin using the BioMat at very low heat settings and limit sessions to 20-30 minutes until longer times can safely be established.
Hemorrhage: Hemophiliacs and anyone predisposed to hemorrhage should avoid far infrared or any type of therapy that would induce vasodilation and increase bleeding.
Surgical Implants: Metal implants and artificial joints generally reflect far infrared rays and therefore are not heated. Nevertheless, it is recommended that individuals with such implants consult their surgeon before using far infrared therapy.
Silicone Implants: Silicone does absorb far infrared rays, but implants/prostheses should not be adversely affected by the BioMat as silicone only melts at temperatures over 200 degrees Celsius. Still, it is advisable to consult a physician to be certain.
Pregnancy: In pregnancy or suspicion of pregnancy, discontinuation of far infrared therapy is recommended in the first trimester. Use of the BioMat following the first trimester should be limited to low heat settings. The BioMat can be a useful tool for postpartum care.
Menstruation: Use of the BioMat during menstruation poses no risk, but may increase menstrual flow, due to the heating of the low-back area. Individuals who wish to avoid this may choose to discontinue use of the BioMat during the menstrual cycle. Use of the BioMat can help minimize physical and emotional discomfort of the premenstrual and menstrual periods.
Certain Conditions: According to some sources, it is considered inadvisable to raise the core temperature of someone with adrenal suppression, systemic lupus erythematosus or multiple sclerosis. Check with your medical practitioner if you have any of these conditions before using the BioMat.
Should an individual experience a worsening of any condition, use of the BioMat should be discontinued. However, some temporary symptoms may be attributed to the detoxification process. See "Note on Detoxification."
Individuals with recent, acute joint injuries should avoid heating the joint for the first 48 hours, or until the "hot and swollen" symptoms of the injury pass. Joints that are chronically swollen may respond poorly to extreme heat. Vigorous heating is strictly contraindicated in cases of infections within the joints.
Pain should not be experienced while using the BioMat. Far infrared therapy stimulates areas of the body which may be in disharmony, and this can result in sensations that vary for each individual. If any pain or discomfort persists for more than 24 hours discontinue use of the BioMat.
During detoxification, accumulated toxins are released from cells and organs, passing through the blood stream before leaving through the skin, breath, urine and feces. The movement of these toxins through the body can produce sensations of being ill, when in fact, the case is quite the opposite; the body is going through healing. Sometimes this process can release remnants of past illnesses, causing an individual to experience similar, but less severe, symptoms of a past illness. These symptoms usually pass within a day or two. See the booklet "Ions and Far Infrared Rays."
The BioMat is a useful tool for detoxification, but it is important to start out slowly in order to determine what your body can tolerate. It is also important to drink plenty of pure water to help eliminate toxins from the body.

Since the beginning of the year, there's been a lot of speculation on who could play Cable in Deadpool 2. For those who are unfamiliar with the character, he's got a convoluted backstory that involves time travel, but for the purposes of Deadpool, he's a solid foil. While Deadpool is fun and silly, Cable is a gruff, no-nonsense foil, and that makes for a fun pairing in the comics.
While names likes David Harbour (Stranger Things), Michael Shannon, and even Brad Pitt were rumored to play the role, THR reports that the part has gone to Josh Brolin. Additionally, sources say that Brolin has got a four-picture deal for the part including Deadpool 2. This means that Brolin is locked down for the likely X-Force movie as well as a Cable solo film if people like the character.
It's a good move for both the actor and the studio. For Brolin, he gets in deeper with a long-term franchise. He's already playing Thanos, but given how Marvel likes to quickly dispose of their villains, I wouldn't expect that character to survive past Avengers 4. With Cable, he's got a fun character who has room to grow. Additionally, Brolin is a solid actor and it's easy to see him take on the hard-bitten Cable. He's also got outstanding comic timing, so he should play off Ryan Reynolds fairly well.
No release date has been announced yet for Deadpool 2, but production is expected to begin in June in Vancouver. Zazie Beetz (Atlanta) has already signed on to co-star as Domino. David Leitch (John Wick) will direct from a script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
Brolin will be seen later this year in Joseph Kosinksi's Granite Mountain as well as George Clooney's Suburbicon. He's also attached to star opposite Benicio del Toro in the Sicario sequel Soldado. He'll be seen next year beating up superheroes in Avengers: Infinity War.
What do you think of casting Brolin as Cable? Is there someone else you'd wish had gotten the role? Sound off in the comments section.
UPDATE: Ryan Reynolds has confirmed Brolin's casting on twitter.
The fuck, Fox! You can't play 2 characters in the same universe!! Josh Brolin was in Sicario and I was in Sabrina The Teenage Witch. pic.twitter.com/AQCRp1aWKg

Leg exercises are an important part of one's routine if they want a toned lower body. Leg machines are a great option for anyone who wants to work on different parts of the leg to achieve a more bulked-up physique.
These are a great alternative to squats. It is especially helpful in situations in which a client comes with back or knee problems and still want to have a defined lower body.
These machines do not stress the back or knee joints as squats.
They are redesigned to help build lower body strength and are of different kinds
1. Vertical Leg Press Machine
This is a very ergonomically designed machine that lets you lie flat on your back as you push weights with your legs straight up. It happens to be the cheapest ones too although the seated upright one may cost about the same.
They are also space-efficient and take up less space. These are not suitable for anyone with back or neck problems.
These do not have as much weight as the other two and can only be used for toning or cutting but to resistance training. This means that you'll choose between cost-effective and facilities provided.
2. Seated Upright Leg Machine
Another cheap machine is the seated upright leg machine which as the name suggests allows you to sit upright and push pedals away from your body. The pedals can be attached to free weights or cables.
They are generally space-saving as they are attached to other equipment but the pricing can vary. Standalone units are much more expensive than the common attachable ones.
The less expensive version of the upright leg machine might not be suited to all as some have reported having knee joint pain after using it. This is especially true for machines that do not allow a lot of angles to the user.
3. 45 Degree Leg Press Machine
Many call it the hack squat machine as it is the most comfortable way to squat. It does not strain the back or the joints but occupies a lot of space.
They are also the priciest amongst the three and you'll have to spend a lot of them.
The most comfortable but occupy a lot of space, the choice is yours. Keep these in mind while buying a leg press on sale.

Well, it's Sunday night and we did things backwards this weekend. Sunday Roast happened on Saturday and Ribeye steaks on Sunday. I added the 'make your own salad' to our menu as I have some picky peeps.
SO- I picked a Petite Sirah to go with the steaks. When choosing wine for a fatty cut, I look for tannic wines or really fruity ones with plenty of acidity. Petite Sirah, of which I am a closet fan, gives both. This particular bottle showed off some of the prettiest purple hues in the glass, a beautiful sight. On the nose, tremendous waves of blueberry fruit and a somewhat exciting alcohol component. I was ready to pair the wine with our dinner. Crescendoes of blueberry and blackberry came rushing over my palate with an extremely fine grained set of tannins. I was looking forward to some slightly more edgy tannins to cut the fat, but instead I was treated to a healthy dose of acidity. The combination was magical. Instead of the mouth-puckering tannins sorting the beef out, I was treated to a more austere approach with the acidity making up for the backbone. Secondary flavors of stone and bell peppers added to the treat. Petite Sirah is an amazing varietal, not everyones cuppah. It is bracing, tannic, acidic and needs to made well. It offers black and blue fruit, big tannins and an a bright acidity. It does not resemble Syrah at the least. Give it a try, you may love it….. For $30, this is a great effort for a nice steak dinner and worthy of 91 points and 4 star in my book. Salut….

We're due our first look at Crysis 3 gameplay here shortly, and Crytek thinks that the game will push current generation consoles to their absolute limits. The developer has a long history of making exceptional looking titles. The original Crysis set a high bar for PC gaming only five years ago. Crysis 2 was no slouch when it came to graphics either, and now Crytek is looking to please the graphics hounds, with the best looking graphics of this generation.
Crytek's CEO recently stated that "Crysis 3 will push the Xbox 360 and PS3 to its limits", via Twitter.
If this sounds familiar, its because it is. Yerli also said this about Crysis 2, and its Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game. Crytek still has quite a bit of time left to squeeze every remaining drop of horsepower out of the consoles however. Crysis 3 isn't due until 2013.
Yerli also recently explained that Crysis 3 will be the spiritual successor to the original game, heading back to the gameplay roots of their first offering. The first gameplay of Crysis 3 is said to arrive on April 24th, later today.

Salad Days

Mmmmmmmm, couscous! I've had some spectacular couscous at pot lucks at work and at other places. It's a dish I probably would not have liked very much as recently as a few years ago but now I love it, just like salads. I've been making salad out of mixed spring greens and various fruits. On Saturday night, I made salad from spring greens and strawberries from Acme and fresh picked blueberries from the Farmer's Market topped with a little dab of strawberry vinaigrette dressing. Perfect meal for a hot summer night!

Ever make tabbouleh? That's another good summer salad. We always make it with the requisite falafel and babaganouj (which I know you wouldn't enjoy, as it's eggplant). But tabbouleh on its own would be fine.

China Accelerates Infrastructure & Resource Investment in Africa, India and the U.S.
By David Alioto
China today is translating its expanding wealth into global economic clout. The Country last year overtook the U.S. as the world biggest trading nation. However, China manufacturing industry which has long been the economy major engine is struggling. In order to support the growth of their economy, China is seeking natural resources, energy, food and markets for its products outside the country.
President Xi Jinping expressed last year a primary goal to reform the economy by liberalizing financial flows and encouraging Chinese companies to invest more outside of China. As a result, deals done by Chinese firms are steadily rising in profile and size. China has already invested huge sums in its own infrastructure. The Chinese government has now prioritized allocating a major portion of the $3.8 trillion in reserves toward overseas investment with a key focus on Africa, India and the United States.
China investment strategy is different for each country. In the case of Africa, it is building the initial infrastructure of pipelines, railroads and ports to gain favorable access to Africa vast resources securing energy, labor resources and new markets for its manufacturer products. In India and the United States, China is navigating the political and business climates of two of the largest economies in the World. If successful, Chinese firms will be allowed to participate in over $9 trillion of infrastructure projects planned over the next several years in India ($1 trillion) and the U.S. ($8 trillion).
A core focus of China investment interest has been the nation of Africa. Africa has about 40 percent of the global reserves of natural resources, 60 percent of uncultivated agricultural land, the growing purchasing power of a billion people and a low cost wage environment. The continent has the fastest-expanding labor force in the world with more than 500 million people of working age. In the next 25 years, Africa will have just as much workers as China and India.
The logistics infrastructure in Africa is very inefficient. It is very costly and difficult to get transport flowing within African countries, not to mention across the borders. Poor infrastructure and lack of funds to develop modern transportation systems hinders efforts at creating efficient supply chains to seamlessly flow goods in and out.
Africa suffers from the lack of a centralized transportation infrastructure as well as a lack of major ocean ports and air transport hubs outside of South Africa and the Suez Canal.
Beyond the ports, less than one-fifth of Africa's road network is paved. According to the International Monetary Fund, the trade barriers between countries and lack of transport integration limited the growth rate in sub-Saharan Africa for 2013 to 5.3%.
However, China is forging alliances with Africa Leaders and making infrastructure investments in order to leverage the tremendous resource and economic potential in Africa
In March 2013, Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete and Chinese President Xi Jinping signed 16 agreements for development projects on mainland Tanzania, and three agreements for Zanzibar.
The deals clear the way for China to finance and build a $10-billion port at Bagamoyo. China has committed to a $500-million installment in 2013 to initiate the port project. The Port is scheduled for completion by 2017 and will increase capacity from 800,000 TEU to 20 million TEU.
Tanzania is one of the focal points of the Chinese globalization strategy in Africa. Recently, enormous natural gas reserves of an estimated 40 trillion cubic feet were discovered off the Tanzanian coast. The China National Petroleum Company is currently installing a 532-kilometer (333-mile) pipeline from the port city of Mtwara to Dar es Salaam.
"Our relations are at a new historic beginning," the Chinese president told his Tanzanian hosts. He noted that Africa is one of the world's fastest-growing regions, pressing forward like a "galloping lion." Xi reminded his hosts of the warm relationship between the Great Chairman Mao Zedong and Tanzania's first president, Julius Nyerere. He also praised the two countries' shared struggle against imperialism and invoked the common interests of all developing countries. "We are true friends," he said. "We treat each other as equal partners."
n return for developing the infrastructure, China has received lucrative licenses to exploit natural resources and fossil fuels. For instance, Angola is almost as large as Saudi Arabia as one of China's key oil suppliers. Angola is China's top African supplier of crude, and China buys 43.8 percent of Angola total oil exports. The bilateral trade between the two countries exceeded $120 billion in 2010 according to China Briefing.
In addition to oil-related projects, China is heavily involved in Angola reconstruction effort, after a devastating 27-year civil war that ruined much of its infrastructure. ne of the main investments is the rebuilding of the Benguela Railway, an 840-mile transcontinental railway that links the Atlantic Port of Lobito in Angola with rail networks in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia. The project is expected to cost $300 million./span>
Since 2000, trade volumes between China and Africa have grown twentyfold, reaching $200 billion in 2012. China has become Africa's most important trading partner.
India's massive infrastructure requirements offer several opportunities to China. Over the next five years, India is planning infrastructure investment of $585 billion.
A Chinese working group submitted a five-year trade and economic planning cooperation plan to the Indian government in the first week of February, offering to finance as much as 30 per cent of the $1trillion targeted investment in infrastructure during the 12th Five-Year Plan (2012-17) of about $300 billion. Although the largest by any one country, China is facing serious political obstacles.
he Union Home Ministry and the Department of Economic Affairs have cautioned the government regarding relaxing the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) norms in the Indian Railways. In its comment on the proposal of the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), the home ministry, citing security concerns, said Chinese investments in such a sensitive sector should be viewed with caution.
The home ministry has pointed out that China is India's main rival on the economic front and the two countries have unresolved border disputes. Sources said FDI from a neighboring country in a core sector, like the railways, may pose a danger to national security. The ministry also clearly stated that Chinese investments should not be allowed in border areas such as Jammu & Kashmir and the North Eastern states./span>
While India and China are targeting $100 billion in bilateral trade by 2015, the balance is heavily skewed in favor of China. At the end of fiscal 2012-13, China's trade surplus with India was about $39 billion. China doesn't see this narrowing in the short to medium term due to the nature of the two economies, with India being services led and China a manufacturing economy.
A tremendous opportunity exists for China manufacturers to set up plants in India. From a labor perspective, the average monthly wage of a Chinese worker in Shanghai is $275 while in Mumbai the average monthly wage is $81 per month (e.g., three times less). China no longer has the inexhaustible supply of young workers who formed the backbone of its manufacturing revolution. This has led to a sharp increase in manufacturing costs in China - which have risen 40 per cent in the last five years.
he World Bank ranks India 134th out of 183 countries in terms of ease of doing business and ranks the country's logistics performance 46th out of 154 countries. By contrast, the United States and China ranked 5th and 79th, respectively, for ease of doing business and 15th and 26th for logistics performance. Several promising infrastructure improvements are underway to support logistics. These include the Golden Quadrilateral, North-South Corridor and East-West Corridor (roadways); Pipavav, Mundra and Hamra ports; and Bangladore, Hyderabad, New Delhi, and Mumbai airports. Furthermore, the Indian government plans major investments that will triple the country's cargo handling capacity at 12 major ports, with the goal of being able to handle three billion tons per year by 2020[iv]
China manufacturers should draw on the geographic benefits, labor savings and logistics infrastructure, by setting up facilities in India. Most importantly, the increased localized presence of the Chinese firms should bode well in securing infrastructure projects and growing sales in India.
United States
wo-way infrastructure investment has emerged as one of the most promising opportunities to spur economic growth and job creation in both the United States and China,U.S. Chamber President and CEO Thomas J. Donohue said. his type of investment would benefit both of our countries, strengthening our relationship and enhancing global stability and prosperity./span>
At a minimum, more than $8 trillion in new investment will likely be needed in U.S. transportation, energy, and wastewater and drinking water infrastructure from 2013 through 2030otaling some $455 billion per year.
According to data from the American Enterprise Institute and Heritage Foundation, Chinese outward investment reached $85 billion in 2013, a dramatic increase from a mere $10 billion in 2005. The U.S. has been the No.1 destination, luring more than $14 billion of investment last year alone.
hereas state-owned companies have dominated in total deal value in the past, that is no longer true. In 2013, more than 70 percent of investment came from private enterprises, responsible for more than 80 percent of a total of 87 deals (of which 44 were acquisitions and another 38 were greenfield projects). Where is the money going? Unconventional oil and gas was a top draw, with $3.2 billion invested in deals that include CNOOC (CEO) purchase of Calgary, Alberta-based Nexen Energy U.S. operations, Sinopec (SHI) joint venture with Chesapeake Energy (CHK) of Oklahoma City, and a Sinochem International (600500:CH) stake in West Texas Wolfcamp Shale. Commercial real estate was also a big draw, with 18 investments in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and Detroit totaling $1.8 billion. And the single biggest deal: Shuanghui (000895:CH) $7.1 billion takeover of pork processor Smithfield
In January 2014, Ohio officials announced that Fuyao Glass Industry Group, a maker of windshields and windows for automobiles, would acquire about 1 million square feet of the GM truck assembly plant in Moraine, OH. Fuyao Glass will make an investment of $200 million at the site in total to get it ready for production.
It is the largest Chinese investment yet in Ohio and one of the largest ever in the US. The plant is expected to begin operations in 2015, employing about 800 people within three years.
For Chinese companies like Fuyao Glass, the U.S. has become a better, less expensive place to set-up manufacturing. The company said Ohio's location was selected based on logistics cost, quality of workforce as well as the business environment.
Founded by Cao in 1987, Fuyao has captured 20 percent global market share for auto glass. Company chairman Cao Dewan said "This investment is actually due to the demand of our customers. And they believe we should be here, because we provide a large percentage of their products."
t could be the biggest role reversal since, well ... when Nixon went to China. The gap between manufacturing costs in the U.S. and China is shrinking explains John Ling, a naturalized American from China who runs the South Carolina Department of Commerce's business recruitment office in Shanghai.
Today some 33 American states, ports, and municipalities have sent representatives like Ling to China to lure jobs once lost to China back to the U.S. Besides affordable land and reliable power, states and cities are offering tax credits and other incentives to woo Chinese manufacturers. Beijing, meanwhile, which has mandated that Chinese companies globalize by expanding to key markets around the world, is chipping in by offering to finance up to 30% of the initial investment costs, according to Chinese business sources.
In August 2013, the World largest retailer, Walmart, held its first U.S. Manufacturing Summit, attended by 500 suppliers, 34 states, 8 governors and government officials, who met to discuss opportunities to create jobs, restore communities and drive economic growth within the United States. Following the Summit, Walmart made a commitment to buy an additional USD $250 Billion over the next 10 years in products from American manufacturers.
A key presentation was made during the Summit in which Hal Sirkin, Managing Director, Boston Consulting Group, provided the following illustration of the shrinking gap between labor costs in China versus the U.S.:
The simple math on labor costs
(nominal USD)
China wages in Yangtze delta (USD/hour)
U.S. wages in logical state (USD/hour)
Productivity-adjusted China wages (USD/hour)
China labor cost as % of U.S. labor cost
Hal Sirkin, Senior Partner & Managing Director, Boston Consulting Group
The ade is the USAtrend is not simply patriotic, but also driven by the changing factors of labor cost, lower inventory carrying costs and the strength of the world most advanced transportation network.
As Fuyao Glass recognized the benefits of purchasing an existing plant in the U.S., other Chinese manufacturers should seriously consider investment or acquisition of U.S. based facilities or firms. The current political environment in the United States is supportive of outside investment.
China has done an excellent job in pear headingdevelopment in Africa. In contrast, China needs to further encourage their companies to embrace a greater global supply chain vision by establishing more local operations in China and India enhancing growth and profitability.

This is the eighth year that I'm writing a Sukkot column for The Jewish Star and, frankly, I'm not sure what I can say that I haven't already said.
I've spoken about the tribulations of Jerry putting up the sukkah on his own (canvas upside down, etc.), I've spoken about taking down the sukkah, usually right before Pesach (when I decide I've had enough of seeing it in a pile in the corner of the backyard and I drag it to the garage on my own, only to be admonished by my husband for not asking him to do it), I've spoken about the good old days when sukkahs actually looked like they were small simple huts with homemade decorations.
One year I compared sukkahs from when I was a child to what goes on today. People can pay $5,000 and have a custom sukkah put up that literally looks like you're walking into a dining room in a home. Of course for that $5,000 they'll take it down as well. I've spoken about how some people hire florists to turn their sukkah into a floral wonderland.
This year all my children will be with us, including my adorable granddaughter, Arielle, and dogs Murphy and Penny. Also joining us will be my brother Jerry and his wife Shirley. Needless to say I'm thrilled and excited.
I'm trying very hard to be organized so that when everyone gets here I will have nothing to do but enjoy them, but if you all know that no matter how hard you try that is difficult to do. Nevertheless, this year that is my goal.
I've already baked all the challahs, sweet and regular, chocolate Babka, cheese babka, cheese cake, lemon curd cake, chocolate mousse and lotus whipped cream and my friend Janet Grosser's famous biscotti recipe. The apple cookie crumb pie and the Key lime pie will have to wait until Sunday morning.
The brick roast, brisket, corned beef, lamb chops, and pargiot (also known as baby chicken or boneless and skinless thighs) are in the freezer and will be cooked Saturday night and Sunday. And then there are the assorted roasted and grilled veggies, mini pumpkins stuffed with red quinoa, and honey squash filled with carrot soufflé and sautéed Delicata squash.
As for my dairy meals, there'll be cheese blintzes, French onion soup with homemade croutons and cheese-potato onion blintzes, mushroom onion crepes, lasagnia, spinach mushroom and crunchy cheesey soufflé, salmon, fried flounder and Chilean sea bass, bagels and lox — and lots of salads.
Now that I've got Sukkot out of the way can we please talk about the MLB playoffs for a moment. For those of you not following, at the time that I am writing this article (on Monday about 10 minutes before the deadline), the Yankees, Jerry's beloved team, is 2–0, and my beloved Atlanta Braves are 2–1 ahead of the Saint Louis Cardinals in the National League Division Series. Not that any of you are likely to care, except maybe Arnie and Mel Finkelstein, who live in Woodmere but we're born and raised in Saint Louis.
Good thing there are no hidden cameras in my house, otherwise it would see me shouting at the TV, doing the tomahawk chop with bated breath when the bases are loaded, and dancing around the room as we go ahead, in the bottom of the ninth with two outs, which we did the other night.
Wishing all of you a wonderful Sukkot together with family and friends! Good luck to all of you Yankee fans out there including my hubby Jerry. May we meet at the World Series!
Yes, yes, yes I know it's a long shot that the Braves will beat the Dodgers, but as the Mets would say, "You gotta believe!"
Oh and I'd like to give a shoutout to my favorite 11-year-old cousin Rylee Gluck, who has never missed reading my column. I'm honored. And a shoutout to my favorite editor and publisher, Ed Weintrob. Reilly happens to be an amazing writer, I should put the two of you in touch!
This is the recipe for the sautéed Delicata squash I listed above. Delicata squash is seasonal, and can be found at Trader Joe's. It can be bought up to eight days in advance and doesn't have to be refrigerated.
Brown Sugar Delicata Squash Recipe
From Sara Walsh, Dinner at the Zoo website
2 to 3 lbs. delicata squash (about 2 average sized squash)
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. maple syrup
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon or more to taste
cooking spray
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Halve the delicata squash lengthwise and remove the seeds. Cut the halves into 3/4 inch thick slices.
Line a sheet pan with foil and coat with cooking spray. In a small bowl mix together the olive oil, maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the olive oil mixture over the squash and toss to coat. Bake for 20 tov30 minutes or until squash is tender and starting to brown. Serve immediately.

Novel Nanotox MechanismResearchers have just uncovered a new means, illustrated here, by which nanoparticles may evoke genetic damage.firstthingsfirst/iStockphoto
Tiny metal nanoparticles can damage DNA, essentially by triggering toxic gossip.
Researchers from throughout the United Kingdom took part in a series of tests in which they separated toxic metal nanoparticles from potentially vulnerable test cells — what I'll refer to as cellular guinea pigs. In some cases the barrier was a piece of plastic, other times a four-cell-thick, intact wall of tissue.
Although the plastic wall protected the guinea pigs, "We found there was as much damage on the [far] side of the cellular barrier as there was if a barrier hadn't been there in the first place," observes C. Patrick Case, a researcher and pathologist at Southmead Hospital in Bristol, England. The finding, he admits, was "a huge surprise." Particularly since the billionth-of-a-meter-scale particles appear to have wreaked their havoc indirectly.
When tests indicated the nanoparticles were not breaching the cellular wall, Case's team began probing for evidence of some type of cellular signaling that might relay a damaging message to the DNA of cells on the opposite side.
And indeed, the researchers report today in Nature Nanotechnology, the metal nanoparticles triggered the generation of ATP, a known signaling molecule, within cells of the barrier wall. ATP — and perhaps a chorus of related, but as yet unrecognized signaling molecules — whispered their chemical vitriol to neighboring cells.
The final layer of that wall then spit out its toxic message, which triggered within the hapless guinea-pig cells a splitting of one or more of the outer rails in their DNA's ladderlike structure.
The damage was bad — but also improbable. Keep in mind, Case warns, "We were not trying to model what happens in humans."
For instance, the UK scientists used unreal concentrations of nanoparticles. They also acknowledge that animals and people have evolved repair mechanisms to splice damaged DNA back together or to cull affected cells. However, those repair systems do sometimes become overwhelmed, repairing the DNA shoddily or allowing somewhat damaged DNA to persist. In these circumstances, disease — notably cancer — may develop.
Working in an orthopedics department, the team's leaders also didn't design their tests to use garden variety nanoparticles: carbon nanotubes or beads of nanosilver. Instead, they took tiny pieces of the cobalt-chromium alloy used in joint-replacement parts. Over time, shavings can wear off and end up surrounding joints, and perhaps even become excreted. The researchers also didn't recruit ordinary, healthy cells as their guinea pigs but an experimental line — known as BeWo — which has been derived from placental cells.
In the future, Case says, his team plans to work with more conventional nanomaterials and in experimental systems that may better predict whether and how such teensy bits might prove toxic to the body.
I think this fellow is a world class scientist and i always find his work enlightening. So if you didn't understand my excerpts, I hope his simplification made up for my shortfalls!! There is only one item that is curious to me: "The damage was bad — but also improbable. Keep in mind, Case warns, "We were not trying to model what happens in humans."
Well, he being a world class researcher, is not likely one to perform experiments without a mission. He is a senior lecturer in the dept of Orthopedics at a London University and well respected on the orthopedic circuit. He didn't select the study of Cr and Co randomly.
I think we need to have him continue to direct his work on Cr and Co to better predict whether and how such small bits of metals may proove toxic to the body. ...or has most of it been toxic to date for those of us who have these implants? That is the million dollar question.
He is someone who deserves additional funding to complete his reasearch....

"So slowly that your feet become ears"
Soundwalks – led by both artist Elisa Ferrari and Ms. Persoon's students – have been Part of the generative process of the sound of a cactus being touched by a raindrop.
These silent walks have mostly been centered around Lord Strathcona Elementary School and have allowed students to note differences and experience the richness of their everyday sonic environment.
Students took turns leading soundwalks around the school. Each student was then asked to create a sound map based on the experience.
For their last soundwalk, artist Elisa Ferrari led a walk through the fog to McLean Park asking students to try to "walk so slowly that your feet become ears". Once at the park, Ferrari invited students to produce sounds that reverberate through different parts of the body starting with the jaw, the mouth, the nose, and finally through the cranium and sinuses.
Reflecting back on past soundwalks, students observed that keeping silent has become easier and easier and that in the fog, sounds seemed to change and become more muffled.
Listen in to clips from sound walks at Lord Strathcona and Maplewood Flats:

During the first six months of 2012 the cost of the repair campaign of JSC «IDGC of North-West» «Vologdaenergo» amounted 128.3 million rubles.
Compared to the same period last year, the company increased the cost of the repairs by 16%.
During the first half-year period 125.5 km of transmission lines 110 kV were repaired, as well as 50.8 km of overhead lines of 35 kV and 843.8 km on the lines of 0.4-10 kV. In addition, during the repair work on power branch «Vologdaenergo» 2652 transmission towers and 362.6 km of wire were replaced.
As a part of the repair program in the grid company the complex repairs of the two 110 kV substations and 35 kV substation one were carried out, as well as the repairs of the disconnector switches, 55 of which are in the 35-110 kV substations. Besides, the power grid company has cleared 753.57 ha of the forrest corridor along the lines of power transmission lines of all voltage classes.
Most of the work was done using the company's own resources.

Trips to the Least Reached
Bagamoyo, Tanzania - TZ20F
May 23, 2020 - Jun 4, 2020
In Romans 15:20, Paul said he made it his "ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named." Have you ever wondered what that was like? On this mission, you will have the opportunity to do much of the same thing! The Pwani Region is home to several tribes but, as there are over a million Zaramo who have never heard a clear presentation of the gospel, they are one of the many unreached people groups that are waiting to hear the good news of Jesus Christ! The Zaramo and local tribes in this area hold to many ancestral beliefs, with the Islamic religion being dominant throughout most villages.
Our American team, our translators, and several nationals will set up tents and prepare a campsite in this region and then travel to area villages daily. If you have a burden to reach those who have yet to hear the good news of Jesus Christ, and if you have a desire to step out of your comfort zone and GO, then we invite you to join us! Jesus promises us in Matthew 28 that He will GO WITH US, even to the end of the age!
We have seen first-hand how God does "above and beyond all that we could ask or think," and we are thankful and ready to go for His name's sake. Ready? Let's GO!

Samsung is formally dedicating to exceeding and beyond the basic two-year assistance window for running system upgrades for its significant Android flagships from2015 Well, a minimum of for one provider in the United States.
T-Mobile has actually upgraded the assistance pages for the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge, Galaxy S6 edge+ and Galaxy Note 5 to reveal that the provider and Samsung have actually concurred that the phones will get an upgrade to Android 8.0 Oreo as reported back in November. While we do not know the length of time this upgrade will take, keep in mind that these gadgets either introduced with Android 5.0 or 5.1 Lollipop. That's 3 complete variations of Android.
It's not if other providers will devote to this huge upgrade, specifically as the push rate for security spots is quite lax.

The Regal Fabric: Genesis and Journey of Chanderi
While India is home to some of the finest woven textile, one remarkable fabric that has stood the test of time is Chanderi. What makes a fabric truly regal is the richness and the finesse of its spread. While Chanderi saris, marked by their subtle exuberance, gossamer-like texture and exquisite feel, are among the most coveted possessions of every sari-lover in the country, what many of us don't know is that Chanderi comes from a small town of the same name in Madhya Pradesh.
The town of Chanderi revels in the pride of having kept an ancient tradition alive among its long lineage of artisans, with more than 12,000 expert pairs of hands preserving the art of weaving out exquisite Chanderis. Folklore has it that this town along the Betwa river, situated amidst Malwa and Bundelkhand regions, was founded by Shishupala, the demonic cousin of Lord Krishna. Weaving seems to have historically developed between the 2nd and the 7th century in this town, flourishing to its peak during the Mughal reign, with a majority of the artisans being Muslims – something that is true even today. While historically, the fabric received royal patronage and was often used for making khilat or robes during Mughal king Aurangzeb's reign, authentic Chanderi still remains a choice of the elite.
What makes Chanderi such a precious handloom product is its exquisite weaving and royal appeal encompassing a delicate feel, light weight, and all-day comfort. Original Chanderi fabric is hand woven from handspun cotton. This yarn, as fine as 300 counts, is made from the roots of Kolikanda plant giving it a texture fine enough to be compared to Dhakai Muslin. Further, a combination of three kinds of fabric-chanderi cotton, pure silk and silk cotton is used. The use of silk adds strength to this delicate fabric, besides giving it a shimmering luster. A special feature of this type of yarn that imparts a glamorous sheen to it, is that it is not taken through a degumming process to prevent damage during weaving.
Chanderis come with a unique blend of motifs and handicraft work to add to the opulent finish. The prints range from Kalamkari and Ikat to Batik and fine embroidery. The butis are woven using needles with each motif requiring a separate needle. Conventional chanderis come with floral designs, peacock motifs, figurines of celestial beings, lotuses, animals, birds, coins, and geometric patterns made of gold, silver or copper brocade. Some of the other admired motifs include chatai, nalferma, jangla, dandidar, and mehndi wale haath.
