The ECC Student Government Association (SGA) is back in session. SGA is held every Thursday at 2 p.m. in Room 286 of Hansen Hall. SGA is a place for students and club members to come together and organize events benefiting the student body, school and surrounding area. SGA meetings are open to all students and any student can become a voting member, or senator, by attending two consecutive meetings. SGA Club Council is also held on the first Thursday of every month. The Current SGA President is Gwendolen Minks.
Falcon Fest planning was the dominant issue discussed at the Aug. 30 and Sept. 6 meetings. A "Fall" theme was decided for the Fall Falcon Fest held on Sept. 26, standing uncontested and therefore unvoted on by members present. A "Movie and TV" theme won over a "Spring" theme for the Spring Falcon Fest, with the former winning out with six votes and the latter receiving four votes. Two other themes proposed, "Game of Thrones" and "Safari", each received one vote. The date for the Spring Falcon Fest was set to April 10, 2019 after receiving ten votes, the alternative date of April 17 receiving four votes.
Discussion of ECC's Fall Food Drive largely dominated the rest of the meeting, with members suggesting incentives to motivate students to donate canned goods. It was decided that if students donated more items than faculty, students would then be allowed to park in staff lots during midterms week. The Food Drive began Sept. 24 and ends Sept 28.
If you want to donate items for the food drive, there are designated student and staff drop off areas at the Café in the Donald D. Shook Student Center. Suggested items for donation include canned meat, canned soup, canned pasta, canned vegetables, pasta dinners, boxed pasta and pasta sauce.

Decoded: Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan's Mysterious Relationship
Do the Khan's get along or not? Find out here!
This is a very tricky question and very few people will try to answer this, so let me give this a try.
Aamir, Shah Rukh and Salman Khan are the three most successful Bollywood superstars of our generation. They are of the same age and are constantly compared to each other. This phenomenon happened only once earlier in Bollywood during the times of Dev Anand, Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor who were also not exactly friends with each other either (that is another story). Coming back to the point…
Aamir and Shah Rukh Khan have never been friends at all. They have always remained contemporaries in the film industry. People talk about the professional rivalry between Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan but if you pick the right noises, you will know that there used to be greater and much intense rivalry between the Aamir and Shah Rukh Khan. The rivalry has somehow subsided a bit these days because Aamir has started doing very less number of films and the Khans (all three) steer clear of each other when it comes to timing their releases. The intense rivalry between the two has slipped out very few times in the media but there have been instances where both Aamir and Shah Rukh have spoken about each other which may not be perceived as complimentary. However, this doesn't mean that the two superstars have not come out in support of each other when the situation arose. They have shared the same platform, complimented one another and even supported each other when there was a need. Their professional rivalry reached a peak when Aamir Khan 'ambushed' Shah Rukh Khan's Rab De Bana Di Jodi with his clever marketing strategies for Ghajini which was supposed to follow next.
I covered the remarkable marketing strategy for a newspaper, so I have seen that phase first hand. Giant cutouts of Aamir as Ghajini were placed at the entrance of many prominent multiplexes and the ushers at the theatre were given Ghajini haircuts. So, anybody who came in to see Shah Rukh Khan's movie, were forced to recognise that an Aamir Khan movie was releasing next. This sudden move didn't obviously go down well with SRK and his team.
This marketing war was eventually won by Aamir Khan when Ghajini went on to become a huge hit and (in my opinion) affected the business of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi which was a super-hit in the end too. This superb move established Aamir as one of the best marketing brains in Bollywood. A few years later, of course, the same move backfired when Talaash released closely with Jab Tak Hai Jaan. In this case, Talaash flopped while JTHJ went on to fare well at the box office. The fact that Aamir and Salman have been long-time good friends also didn't help to soothe nerves in this intense professional rivalry. There have been numerous instances of Aamir Khan openly endorsing Salman Khan as the number one hero in Bollywood.
So, the relationship between the two have traversed between being frosty and warm but they have not been friends with each other. As I see it, they have reached out to each other numerous times and longed to be friends but their professional rivalry have always thwarted that attempt. It's not that the two Khans don't realise this. They know this too. Aamir also once struggled to describe his relationship with Shah Rukh Khan, to Karan Johar on a show, where he admitted that there have been periods of intense stress in their relationship. However, the situation has now seemed to have gotten better, as they have started charting out their own paths with both doing different kinds of movies with their release dates planned out much in advance. These days one notices them meeting each other or bumping into each other more often than before. A couple of times, a rare selfie with the two of them together has also trended on social media.
But the truth is: Both have them have not yet reached a stage where we can call them the proverbial "good friends" in Bollywood.

Wellington Waterfront
Waterfront promenade
Frank Kitts Park to Taranaki Street, Wellington
The site
The site is a stretch of landscaped promenade on the Wellington Lambton Harbour waterfront extending from the south end of Frank Kitts Park to the Te Papa Forecourt. The promenade includes an area of refurbished Taranaki Wharf and associated reclaimed land.
This area is a spectacular physical environment encompassing various natural features such as the water and rocky harbour edge. It is home to a wealth of historical and newly built elements, such as the statue of Kupe, which transcend into the new metallic bridge from the end of Taranaki Wharf to the Frank Kitts Headlands. The existing textures of the wharf structures, intertwined with the new items of wharf furniture, make for one of New Zealand's most eclectic and exciting precincts.
Lighting principles
The following principles/objectives were developed as design guidelines for the lighting strategy:
- To create a new and unique publicly accessible, safe night-time environment from a robust and well-used day-time public space.
- To mark and signify elements so that they can be perceived or located from a distant water or land approach.
- To highlight the rhythms and changes in pace along the promenade to animate the night-time 'journey'.
- To integrate lighting with the architectural or landscape features so that the lit environment highlights these features rather than the fittings themselves.
- To feature the material or formal qualities of existing elements or textures along the waterfront so that they contribute to the experience of evening promenading.
- To provide an energy-efficient lighting solution that utilises long-life lamps; s-elect luminaries that are designed and built to last in this marine environment.
The scheme
Providing sufficient lighting levels for security and navigation was the central thread to this scheme. Blasting the environment with an unnecessarily high and even lux level across all spaces was not the objective, but rather ensuring that a clear well-lit path was marked.
The above effect this was created by a row of new purpose-built light masts, and by lighting the existing yellow tie up bollards along the wharf. This feature accentuates the linearity and structural rhythm of the wharf's construction.
The tie up bollards are lit with stainless steel inground directionally set up lighters. We had to use 12 volt halogen lamps to achieve the required effect, so employed a 10,000-hour version for maximum lamp life. Careful placement of these fittings has resulted in the use of only one fitting per bollard.
A powerful day-time element and multi-functional piece of new wharf furniture, these light masts have a proprietary 150 watt metal halide luminaires, used in an upward orientation, with the light then reflected downward of a deflector. The resultant effect is wonderful large soft pools of light, and in combination with these a mix of further up/down light fixtures make the mast itself become a lit surface perpendicular to the direction of travel. These lights also light the banners that are attached to the mast from time-to-time.
Strong architectural or landscape features of the site are lit in a manner that allows for their perception and recognition from a distance, as well as articulating the journey to a promenader as a series of lit events. The perforated aluminium bridge balustrade is lit with a line of concealed blue fluorescents that render it as a floating blue veil from a distance reflecting across the water. Although the fluorescents are a proprietary fitting, they were carefully chosen for their light distribution by a series of trials. A special bracket was required to facilitate a mounting system that offered an appropriate method of being able to remove the fitting for lamp replacement and maintenance while still positioning the fitting for effect. Close up the cold blue of raw aluminium, and the shadows from the perforations, contrast with the warmer textures of the timber decking and the yellow in-deck LEDs tracking the path.
From a distance, the Kupe sculpture is dramatically uplit as a punctuation point in the wharf promenade. Closer inspection reveals the glowing riprap rocks lit under the cut out in the wharf by a variety of 70 and 150 watt metal halide projectors with differing colour temperature lamps and beam angles which emphasise the sculpture's site on the edge of the land. The fitting's position has been optimised by attaching it to the wharf under a web crate floor that acts to conceal of the fixture and as a glare shield. With only one 70 watt metal halide fitting utilised, this is a very resourceful solution.
Because of the acute angle of beams of light to the promenader's view, the contrast of light and shade is accentuated. With the angle of the viewer changing as they walk, this reveals different illusions of the raw and rich textures and elements along the journey such as the water and rocky edge of the island.
Where new elements have been introduced to the environment, such as the range of waterfront 'signature furniture' — seating, bollards and light signage masts, these have been designed with the intention of fitting in with the context of marine/industrial items on a theme of balls, planks, and plates. Light fittings have been incorporated with these elements in a manner that blends their presence as elemental items, rather than drawing attention to the light fittings themselves. The hidden fluorescent bulkheads inside the spherical bollards are there to provide a 'ring of light' around the circumference of the sphere, emphasising the spherical hollow two-sided construction of the bollard, marking the ground and locating and identifying the bollard as a seat.
The light fittings were chosen on the basis of the light intensity, temperature, beam angle, energy efficiency and longevity of their luminaire, and durability and ability to survive in a harsh marine environment. Generally the aesthetic of exposed fittings is simple and 'elemental' to complement, rather than compete, with the robust and rugged landscape.

All hail Prince! After a five year hiatus, the music icon performed an eight minute set on the Nov. 1 episode of 'Saturday Night Live.' The mind-blowing performance of new songs left us speechless! Click to WATCH the video!
Prince fans, he's back. The 56-year-old music legend rocked it out better than ever on the Nov. 1 episode of SNL! The amazing singer-songwriter made waves during his mesmerizing and uninterrupted Saturday Night Live performance of "Another Love," "Clouds" and "Marz" with his band, 3rdeyegirl. Watch royalty rock out!
Prince's 'Saturday Night Live' Performance
With Chris Rock as the SNL host plus Prince's priceless performance — it truly felt like it was 1999! Prince definitely made up for his absence from the music scene. In true Prince style, the singer was clad in an over the top outfit, his signature color purple took center stage and he danced in front of a psychedelic background.
However, there was one aspect of Prince's performance that was entirely new: his music!
With his incredible band, 3rdeyegirl, and guest performer, Lianne La Havas, the icon's sound and style were purely Prince!
From the perfectly rhythmic sounds in "Kiss" to the head-banging beats of "Purple Rain," Prince has always known how to create memorable music. These new tracks were no exception.
We're thrilled the seven-time Grammy Award winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer has assumed his royal throne in the music industry!
Even Chris was honored to be introducing the legend! Before the performance, he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you are so lucky tonight."
What a night to be watching Saturday Night Live!
HollywoodLifers, what do you think of Prince's new music? Did you like his Saturday Night Live performance? Tell us!

It is important for investors to understand that Leveraged/ Inverse products aim to provide returns for a specific time period.
The value of a Leveraged/ Inverse products with a daily reset will change by the percentage movement in its benchmark, multiplied by the leverage/inverse factor (2x, -1x), for a given day.
At the end of the day, the base value for future returns is "reset" and used as a starting point for the next day's returns. With Leveraged/ Inverse products, daily resets cause a compounding effect, whereby losses and gains from each period affect the base from which the next period's returns are calculated.
Below is a simple simulator to help investors better understand the returns provided by Leveraged/ Inverse products and the impact of the daily reset.
- Past performance is not indicative of future performance. Investors may not get back the full amount invested.
- Where no past performance is shown, there was insufficient data available for that period to provide performance.
- Investment involves risks. Please refer to the Prospectus and other offering documents for more information about the Product and the risks details.

An Integrated Study of Tribocorrosion in a Duplex Stainless Steel
MetadataShow full item record
Tribocorrosion is one of the most dangerous threats to material systems due to the accelerated and uncontrollable damage. The interaction of mechanical rubbing and chemical corrosion causes material failure in a quite short time. Tribocorrosion widely exists in different industries, such as mining, oil and gas production, biomedical implants and chemical-mechanical planarization. This thesis studies the tribocorrosion in mild rubbing conditions. A new experimental approach was developed to study the effects of applied loads on passivation and surface defects. Results showed that properties of the passivation layer in duplex stainless steels were affected under different loads and surface defects elongated in the rubbing direction. This new experimental approach was proven to be an effective method to evaluate tribocorrosion in duplex stainless steels in mild wear conditions. Primary experimental approaches were utilized in this study. A new methodology was developed by configuring an integrated triboelectrochemical tester. A flat-on-flat configuration was developed that contained a pair of flat rubbing parts, a tribometer and an electrochemical workstation. A duplex stainless steel 2205 was used due to the wide applications in corrosive environments. The tribocorrosion experiments were conducted in a 3.5wt% NaCl solution. The applied loads ranged from 1N to 3N at a fixed surface speed of 1.5cm/s. Analysis was carried out in evaluating the effects of mechanical rubbing on corrosion and passivation. Results showed that mechanical rubbing promoted corrosion. Meanwhile, a passivation layer was generated due to the interaction of mechanical rubbing and corrosion. When the load was increased, the passivation current density increased first then decreased. The shapes and the sizes of surface defects were affected by different loads. The surface defects elongated in the rubbing direction. Detailed mechanisms were also discussed in this thesis. This thesis includes six sections. After a brief introduction of tribocorrosion, the motivation and objectives of this study are discussed. A new integrated triboelectrochemical approach for studying tribocorrosion is discussed in section 3 along with materials and characterization. Section 4 discusses about the synergy of wear and passivation while the section 5 studies pitting during tribocorrosion. The dissertation ends with conclusion and recommended future work.

My idea of fast food is a mallard.
Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.
In Russia, we eat a lot of heavy food like potatoes and lots of meat. I can't eat one apple or a salad a day. You wouldn't want to come talk to me if I don't eat. I have to eat, or I am in a really bad mood.
I grew up in Cincinnati, the birthplace of the creamiest and most delicious ice cream with the hugest chocolate chips. Graeter's used to be available only regionally, but an extravagant thing you could do was overnight-ship six pints to another state, in dry ice.
I love to take something ordinary and make it really special.
There is no life to be found in violence. Every act of violence brings us closer to death. Whether it's the mundane violence we do to our bodies by overeating toxic food or drink or the extreme violence of child abuse, domestic warfare, life-threatening poverty, addiction, or state terrorism.
- At first I cant understand why in the comments there are so many people questioning if shes doing everything just for the camera. Then i realized I was subjected to some knowledge bias, as everything shown in the camera is my childhood, and I take it as granted that it is the way it is. Her videos in my opinions, are a "glorified versions of true countryside life". Of course in real life, it's never so easy and visually appealing to do all the work, but I assure you that most of the people who live in the countryside can also do most of works she does in the video, as it is real life.
- Others: with money, I can have anything
Liziqi: without money, I can make everything
- I initially thought this girl wasn't authentic and like many others on social media had doubts as to whether shes real. But the more I observed her, the more I'm convinced she's as real as it gets. I work with my hands as a craftsman plus I grew up working in my dads commercial kitchen. I think anyone whose worked with their hands for a long period of time should be able to tell if someone's done it before or just doing it for the camera. I don't think she's the absolute best at everything she does but it's quite obvious the way she handles tools and the way she holds things she's done it many times before. I'm Asian and female and super independent. I can do a shit ton of stuff myself so I'm hardly ever impressed but after watching her for awhile I must say (even if she does receive a little bit of help) it's still pretty impressive. Especially the heavy lifting! She's a tiny lady too. You go girl!!! ???
- I'm amazed by the subtle, calm, balanced and meaningful beauty that every scene and action shows. A deep lesson about the richness and value of human cultural tradition. The knowledge of the environment, the handy tools, the pottery, the wisdom of the dishes… No words! Thanks for this taste of the old China!
- I watch your videos everyday for the past week. I am so addicted to your channel! ???
- I don't know why but there is something in her videos that makes me want to watch all of them. Amazing.
- She is gracious, classy young lady and loves her grandmother. I like it when she goes outside and takes a good breath of fresh air. She also honors her family.??✅
- She trusts her animals so much around meat etc. Way more than I trust mine. Every single sausage would be gone if I left mine alone with them just hanging there haha
- I don't know why but I feel very relax by watching her videos that's why I just sub her????
- I live in China ?? I miss my mom and she used to dry meat like this. She passed away 6 yeas ago and I dried meat by myself now for spring festival. But it never tasted the same way.
I cried like a baby girl when I watched the video.I really miss my mom and it broke my heart when she died.
- Very beautiful scenery and great skill of leaving with nature..
- Who have been watching in 2019..??
- I hope this video trending in Indonesia & other country
- Hands down one of the best channels here in YouTube.
- This show how strong women are.. That guaranteed.
- 關於李子柒的傳奇
- 子柒姑娘的視頻的確令人好治癒,好放鬆
- She's amazing ❤ I love it.
- Discoveries like this make me even more thankful for being part of this platform that enables us to discover so much about other people, culture and creativity. I loved watching you cook.
- in the southern parts of the USA we also cook lead vegetables with peppers and smoked meats. we call them collards a and generally we use tough leaves like turnip and kale, a smoked pigs foot, and hot sauce. many families boil a coin with them, because the green leaves remind people of money
- I am shafna, from India I am so addicted to your channels, videos
- I stumbled upon her videos and ever since then I've watched her videos everyday ❤
- The way you work, the way you cook and the things you are using the wooden baskets, the environment etc. is very similar to north east Indian culture, so when I am watching your videos I feel like we are really one.
Luv from NE India . continue your good work..
- Дорогая!!! Ты снова нас удивила. Таких копченых вкусняшек наготовила,ммммм????. Так и хочется попробовать. Здоровья тебе, крепкого! ???❤❤???
- I really love your video all of them !
Thank you ❣
- My idol wish the best to you ?
And grandma ????
- ワオ、燻製までやっちゃうのね。自然相手の作業がとても手慣れていて、感心することしきり❤料理の仕方は女性にしては豪快、というよりお国柄の食文化なのでしょう。調味は繊細だと感じる。ことに彼女が作るのであればなおの事。

*The cold and dry air* is one essential ingredient in the fermentation of meat or fish. The meat from the dry and hot places does have a different taste and smell. I think the cold dry fermentation is better for the taste of the food.

- My mum showed me her channel and now I'm addicted! She knows how to make all my favourite dishes from my childhood and her home reminds me of my own hometown… how we used to pick produce from our backyard and enjoyed food everyday handmade from scratch. Even though she's an orphan and came from the most unfortunate circumstances, she still goes about her life with such strong will and determination. Her talents are just something else, whatever idea she has she will make it come true! Put her in the wild and she comes out a survivor! Kinda puts me to shame as a fellow Asian… first of all I really need to stop buying all my food and learn how to cook properly??
- This style cooking is really like in north of vietnam. They prefer to dry the food anh save for winter and spring
- 唉!看得到、吃不到、泡方便麵吧。
- Being independent and relying on what you've learned is a great advantage in life. Using that knowledge is different from knowing knowledge. We can read about or watch it but putting it to use is different. Building a stone wall or cutting down a tree to mill for lumber or using a camera to frame a shot is taking that knowledge and using it.
I think those who give these videos a thumbs down are jealous and envious of what this young woman does with the knowledge she has gained from her grandfather and others.
- This has to be most beautiful thing i have ever witnessed, its simplicity won my heart.
- They are difficult tasks happily. ☺
I really like you ?☺

Use spices for flavor in food rather than adding a bunch of oils, fats, or sauces.
I remember the fact that milk was delivered every day by a milkman. In summer, my mother would make what now seem in my middle-aged imagination the most delicious iced milkshakes.

Not necessity, not desire – no, the love of power is the demon of men. Let them have everything – health, food, a place to live, entertainment – they are and remain unhappy and low-spirited: for the demon waits and waits and will be satisfied.
I'm not very good with spicy food.

My contribution I hope is to get people to eat full-flavored food. If I could come away with that alone, that would be a fantastic accomplishment. I'm also very proud of being a very American chef.
We were so poor as kids. I didn't even see a bathtub, running water, hot water, commode – we didn't have any of that. We started with a humble log house, milk cow, garden-raised our own food, killed a hog every year in the fall, and had the meat hanging up in the smokehouse – that was our childhood, me and ol' Si.

On the same day Ivanka Trump met Chinese leader Xi Jinping in the US, a government office in China approved trademarks for her namesake brand.
The Chinese president was dining with America's first family in Florida as China granted preliminary approval for three trademarks covering Ivanka Trump jewellery, bags and spa service, according to official documents.
Ivanka Trump China marks were granted for four other sectors since the inauguration of her father Donald Trump as US president, and she has 32 pending, according to the Associated Press.
Critics say Trump's White House has created a minefield of ethics concerns, with the president and his top officials representing one of the wealthiest US cabinets in history, their business empires spanning the globe, reports The Guardian. Ivanka Trump was appointed assistant to the president last month after previously saying she would not join her father's administration.
While she no longer manages her clothing, jewellery and accessories brand, Ivanka Trump still owns the business. She has put it in a trust run by family members.
"Ivanka has so many China ties and conflicts, yet she and [brother] Jared appear deeply involved in China contacts and policy. I would never have allowed it," says former chief White House ethics lawyer Norman Eisen, who served with president Barack Obama. "For their own sake, and that of the US, Ivanka and Jared should consider stepping away from China matters."
US law prohibits government officials from handling government matters that could enrich their business or that of their spouse. Almost all of Ivanka Trump's products are made in China, and US policy on trade or China's currency could benefit her financially.
Her lawyer, Jamie Gorelick, says the federal ethics rules do not require anyone to recuse themselves from any matter concerning a foreign country just because a business they have an ownership interest in has a trademark application pending there.
"Ivanka will recuse from particular matters where she has a conflict of interest or where the White House counsel determines her participation would present appearance or impartiality concerns."

2nd February 2016, New York City, NY
The winter 2016 editions of Texworld USA and Apparel Sourcing that took place from 24-26 January in New York have attracted a record-breaking 310 exhibitors, who represented 16 countries, including USA, China, Peru, Portugal, United Kingdom, Colombia, Pakistan, Korea, Japan and India.
The two shows ultimately welcomed a total of 4,008 verified visitors across the three days. Texworld USA saw the highest number of exhibitors in the history of the show's winter edition with a total of 201 suppliers, all of which specialize in apparel fabrics, fibres, accessories and trims.
Apparel Sourcing, the long-term join venture partnership between Messe Frankfurt and CCPIT-Tex, presented 109 suppliers and international apparel manufacturers specializing in finished apparel, contract manufacturing and private label services.
In addition to gaining access to a large offering of global suppliers providing an expansive selection of products across 16 product groups, attendees had the opportunity to explore Texworld USA's innovative Trend Forum.
Designed by Texworld USA's art directors Gregory Lamaud and Louis Gerin, the forum explored Spring/Summer 2017's colour and textile trends. The direction and colour story of the season was expertly told through each hand selected fabric swatch and through the CONTACT trend book provided to each attendee.
"The quality of the fabrics that were submitted by Texworld USA exhibitors for this edition's Trend Forum was incredible. We saw innovation and creativity come together in textile designs that successfully merge functionality and fashion in an organic way," commented Louis Gerin.
First annual Texworld USA Cutting Edge Awards recognize most innovative textiles and forward-thinking exhibitors Texworld USA Winter 2016 also featured the debut of the annual Texworld Cutting Edge Awards.
Recognizing the most forward thinking products each season, the first annual Texworld Cutting Edge Awards shined the spotlight on the best of Texworld's international exhibitors across seven categories. Winners in each category were recognized for their achievements in textile innovation during a live awards presentation.
"The Texworld USA Cutting Edge awards were established with the goal of helping attendees and visitors discover the best of what Texworld USA has to offer. At the same time, it's just as important that we continue to encourage our exhibitors to develop these cutting edge products by recognizing their valuable contributions to the industry," said Dennis Smith, President, Messe Frankfurt North America.

Can you believe it?!
On June 2nd - June 8th, 2019, I am once again joining over 3,000 Cyclists, Roadies and Virtual Cyclists that will be participating in AIDS/LifeCycle, a 545-mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to raise funds for the life-saving services offered by San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the Los Angeles LGBT Center. What a journey this has been in the past and I cannot wait to head out on what will be my 3rd time riding this amazing route. Life changing seems appropriate when I think of what this ride does for my life and millions of others. It humbles me to see the dedication and support this ride brings to those in need of medical treatments that otherwise they wouldn't be able to afford but are needed to live.
Sometimes people have a hard time understanding WHY I would ride all the way from SF to LA but the awarness that I have been able to bring to so many people over the years, is absolutely worth the time I put into training, the pain, and especially the testing of my own emotional strength.
The services provided as a result of this event mean the world to those who receive them, and your support means the world to me.
We're working together to make HIV/AIDS a thing of the past. Will you support me by making a donation today?

No, not the pop icon from the Eighties otherwise known as Debbie Harry…although she is pretty fabulous in her own right. 'Dreamin' is one of my all-time favourite songs. But no, that's not why we're here.
This is supposed to be a food blog, after all. So let's get on with the food!
I'm a bit late to the party when it comes to the blondie; that is , the lighter-coloured version of the chocolate brownie. Not in enjoying them, just in making them. But then all of a sudden, as so often happens with these things, the craving snuck up on me and it soon became all I could think about. So off to the Internet I went in search of the perfect recipe. As it turned out, however, I had already had one in my possession all along.
This recipe came from a cookbook I found somewhere on the bargain table for less than a fiver.
Now usually I'm of the opinion that you get what you pay for, but not so in this case. I've used it as a basis for a number of goodies I've baked up in the past, before I started this blog so before I started taking pictures and writing about the things I was making. But never mind that – let's just focus on the here and now. And here and now I give you the ultimate butterscotch blondie
How tasty does that look? I'm not a fan of adding nuts to things, and for some insane reason I'm constantly running across recipes that call for them. Usually, it's walnuts which is the nut I'm least fond of. I normally just substitute with pecans or leave them out altogether and compensate with adding more chocolate or whatever other chopped ingredient happens to be going in. In this case, though, I had some little chocolate covered toffee candies from IKEA kicking around, so I thought I'd try smashing those up and tossing them in in lieu of nuts.
And man, let me just tell you how glad I am that I did!
The toffee and chocolate melted into the batter during the baking process in such a perfect way so as to lend it even more of the soft, chewy and slightly fudge-y texture that is one of the hallmarks of The Brownie. It was also intensely flavoured, not only from the candies but also the abundance of the butterscotch and chocolate chips. The only possible complaint I could possibly have had was with how little the recipe yielded having been baked in an 8 X 8 glass dish. But in restrospect perhaps that was a good thing. They didn't last long, and wouldn't have done much for the ever-expanding state of my ass if there were any more of them. My husband, who devoured more than half of them, has begun to complain that I'm trying to make him fat. Like I hold a gun to his head or something to get him to eat all the things I make. But despite how phenomenally good these blondies were, the craving wasn't quite as sated as it should have been. I wondered what else could be made that was 'blonde'.
I was on FoodGawker when I found it. I'm so addicted to that site that I've got the iPhone app AND follow the Twitter feed that alerts you to new recipes. So sad, isn't it? Actually, not really when you get results like this
Remember when I just typed that I'm not a fan of adding nuts to things? Yeah – this would be the exception to that rule. Blonde Rocky Road Fudge.
This is a heavenly concoction comprised of yet more butterscotch chips, peanut butter and marshmallows. There is no bad here, unless of course you happen to be anaphylactic or diabetic. But if neither of these apply to you, then I would strongly recommend you make up a batch as soon as possible. The recipe can be found here – I left it well enough alone. Because, really, how could one improve upon such perfection?

RIO DE JANEIRO — For months, authorities in Brazil have sought access to digital data from WhatsApp to aid in criminal investigations. WhatsApp has repeatedly resisted the requests.
On Tuesday, the same clash erupted again, for the third time in less than a year. A Brazilian judge in a state criminal court in Duque de Caxias, in Rio de Janeiro, ordered a nationwide shutdown of WhatsApp after the popular messaging service, which is owned by Facebook, did not turn over user data requested by authorities as part of a criminal investigation. A few hours later, Brazil's Supreme Court overturned the order.
Despite the brevity of the episode, the case is part of a broader debate worldwide about when law enforcement officials and governments should have access to the digital data kept by tech companies. Many of the companies, like Apple and Microsoft, have said they are unwilling to turn over such data to authorities because doing so would infringe on the privacy rights of their customers. But authorities have argued that they need the data for security reasons.
In Brazil, WhatsApp faced two previous shutdowns — one last December, and another in May — for not turning over digital information. Both of those bans were also quickly overturned on appeal by higher court judges. In March, a Facebook executive was briefly taken into custody for refusing to comply with similar orders to turn over information from WhatsApp.
In the court ruling on Tuesday that ordered WhatsApp to be shut down, Judge Daniela Barbosa Assumpção de Souza said in a court statement that WhatsApp "cannot be offered to more than 100 million Brazilians without complying with the laws of the country, while failing to comply with judicial orders and obstructing criminal investigations."
"Especially when that activity leads to large profits, it is not credible that the company's representatives cannot appear before the court in order to comply with judicial decisions," the judge said.
Several previous requests had been made to Facebook for data, according to the court statement. The company is being fined 50,000 reais per day, or about $15,387, until it complies. Judge Barbosa also requested the company be investigated for obstruction of justice.
WhatsApp has end-to-end encryption of its communications, which makes it difficult to give third parties access to messages.
"As we've said in the past, we cannot share information we don't have access to," WhatsApp said in a statement.
After the Supreme Court overturned the lower court's order, the company said, "The Supreme Court swiftly rejected today's block, finding that it was disproportionate and violated people's fundamental freedom of expression."
Still, while the Supreme Court ruling referred to WhatsApp's nationwide shutdown, it did not address the merits of whether judges can require companies to provide data, suggesting the larger issue is far from settled.
Jan Koum, WhatsApp's chief executive, said in a Facebook post before the court order was overturned that "millions of people are cut off from friends, loved ones, customers and colleagues today, simply because we are being asked for information we don't have."
Access Now, a digital rights group, also called the initial court ruling disproportionate.
Peter Micek, global policy and legal counsel for Access Now, said in a statement, "Encryption keeps us safe, and companies need encouragement, not penalties, for taking steps like WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption that protects our data."

About $2.6billion out of the $9.6billion trapped in the petrochemical, mining and manufacturing among other areas in the extractive sector, has been recovered, the Executive Secretary, Nigerian Extractive Transparency Initiative Industries (NEITI), Mrs Zainab Ahmed, has said.
She said the extractive sector is of importance to the nation, adding that there is the need to reduce corruption in the sector.
She said: "NEITI Report uncovered $9.8 billion discrepancies in 10 years. $2.6 billion has been recovered so far. The need for citizens to demand accountability was laid bare in the report.''
Also, the Chief Executive Officer, Seven Energy, Jeffrey Corey, said the country has huge gas reserves, urging the Federal Government to make good use of it.
He said the nation's gas potential could bring the desired economic growth, adding that the natural gas needs to be developed. He urged the government to explore opportunities in the extractive industry.

How Often Should I Train?
Throughout my entire life I have been active in some sense, whether it's play as a child, sport as a teenager or training in the gym. Because it's something I've always done it's something that is "normal" and most importantly is something that I enjoy.
It makes sense then that I've ended up with Hybrid Performance. It is a trap many of us trainers fall into however- we love exercising, we are a little crazy and enjoy really pushing the physical limits. That is our normal.
Understandably however, it isn't everyone else's and that's cool.
With the rise in exercise forms such as CrossFit and HIIT style training a primary method of advertising was that you could train like an athlete and perform like an athlete.
But what if you don't want to be an athlete? What if you just want the health benefits from exercise- a clearer mind, drop a little body fat, look good and feel good.
If this is your training goal- how hard do you need to work? This is a question I was asked this week and it got me thinking.
On one end of the spectrum if your training goal is to lose twenty plus kilograms, or build stacks of lean muscle then realistically there will be lots of hard work. Provided you are working smart WHILE working hard you may find you need to be doing something most days.
Depending on your start point your week may be predominantly working on recovery with a little harder work, or vice versa. The point is big changes in a short time require daily work, but it should be smart work to make sure you're always progressing.
Flip the scenario over to the other end of the scale and say you want to lose two to three kilograms, improve your health and fitness a little and have fun doing so.
Realistically you may find that two to three sessions may be all you need- they might not even need to be intense, some of the work should be, but it doesn't all need to be. Depending on your goals and what kind of exercise you enjoy your week may look like one HIIT class, one strength class and a yoga class. Maybe you mix the HIIT class up with Zumba.
You won't need to be busting your ass in the gym seven days a week and dieting like a person possessed by the food demons. This ties in with last weeks article- performing the minimum effective dose, or just enough to get results moving in the right direction.
Ideally the majority of people will find a happy place where everything is balanced. Their nutrition is 80/20 nutrient dense foods to some less nutritious foods. Exercise is not a chore but enjoyed and as a result is varied in it's stimulus, demands and outcomes.
Our bodies are capable of incredible things, performance is a extra-curricular, good health should be the standard.

Quality factors to consider prior to porcelain tile selection
Whether for residential or commercial purposes, quality porcelain tiles have to meet certain standards. Issues such as slip resistance, breaking strength and edge tolerance have to be considered prior to tile selection. At Mosa, we believe it's important to offer a reliable and beautiful tile solution for every situation. That's why our Ulragres porcelain floor tiles far exceed the industry's quality standards, making it the world's most sturdy tile, available for both indoor and outdoor use.
Seven characteristics for tile quality specification
Tile quality can be measured by means of seven defining characteristics:
• Slip resistance: How slippery is the surface?
• Abrasion resistance: Will the tile show wear patterns over time or is it susceptible to scratching?
• Breaking strength: Will the tile crack or fail if exposed to heavy static or dynamic load?
• Modulus of Flexural strength: Is the tile able to resist deformation under load?
• Bond strength: Will the tile lose adhesion to the substrate after exposure to vibrations from foot traffic or other environmental factors?
• Edge tolerance: Can the tile be installed with tight grout joints and maintain an even and uniform appearance?
• Face dimension: Can the tile be installed with tight grout joints and not have lippage?
The ASTM Standard versus Ultragres quality tiles
Most porcelain tiles meet the ASTM Standard. However, Mosa's Ultragres Terra Maestricht far exceeds these stringent quality and functionality requirements, boasting excellent properties for both surface and body: the surface of the tile is highly wear resistant and easy to clean, while the body ensures high strength, very good dimensional stability and good adhesion in cement mortar and tile adhesive.
Ultragres: an excellent choice in heavy traffic applications
Ultragres porcelain tiles easily stand the test of time, retaining their beauty and reliability under all conditions – in heavy traffic applications, both indoors and outdoors. In other words, it's your safest choice when dealing with the most demanding of customers.

Tour Description
Permaculture Tour
Learn about growing food sustainably.
Cost: $96
November is a wonderful time to be out exploring, and we've got a fabulous tour for this great month!
Alongside the Gawler River lies a heritage listed homestead, built in the first few years of European settlement in SA. It's here in the early 1980s that a local family, the Brookmans, decided to develop their own permaculture farm.
With many people becoming more concerned about where their food is coming from, and how it is produced, it's not surprising there has developed a much greater interest in more natural methods of growing food. Permaculture means "permanent agriculture", and means producing food crops in a way that is organic and ensures the land is kept in good condition for future generations. The Brookman family now have over 160 varieties of fruit, nuts, grains, vegetables and
timber, all on their 15 hectare property.
The family share about their farm, how they operate, and why they farm the way they do. It's a fascinating place, and a great opportunity to learn about a different way of doing things.
After lunch at a local hotel, we venture off for a gorgeous drive through the hills. There are so many delightful drives through here, and we love finding new and different directions to travel.
It's going to be a fabulous day! Don't miss out!

If your preference is for a slightly sweeter curry add a bit more sugar or tomato puree.
This recipe easily makes enough for 3 meals for 4 people, so freeze some easy meals another time.

The movie mogul was in the audience at a showcase for emerging talent when comedian Kelly Bachman criticised him on stage.
Weinstein has been accused of several counts of sexual assault, which he denies.
Bachman referred to him as "the elephant in the room" and "Freddy Krueger" as she spoke at the event.
His representative said the behaviour of the women was "rude" and "uncalled for".
"I didn't know we had to bring our own Mace and rape whistles to Actor's Hour," Bachman is seen saying in video footage posted on Instagram.
She was booed and told to be quiet by members of the audience, to which she replied: "Sorry, that killed at group therapy for rape survivors."
However, some members of the audience then cheered and applauded her.
After the event, Bachman told the Guardian she "felt like the air was sucked out of the room" when she spoke about Weinstein on stage.
Fellow comedian Amber Rollo and actress Zoe Stuckles reportedly approached Weinstein's table at the interval of the event in the city's Lower East Side.
"Nobody's gonna say anything?" Stuckles shouted in the direction of the filmmaker - who was sitting with two bodyguards - before both she and Rollo were asked to leave.
Footage of the exchange was later posted on Facebook and reproduced by The Guardian.

Macy's is planning to reform its commodities and selling operations to remain in tandem with changing consumer trends.
Macy's has stated that it is considering an off price business much akin to TJ Maxx. The retailer intends to close 14 department stores and also open two new locations. This move will lead to a savings of $140 million which will be reinvested into its business.
The moves will lay off 2,200 workers across the nation though it will be picking up workers in other areas. The overall workforce of 175,000 will remain level. Macy's will be expanding its operations in the San Francisco online division by hiring more than 150 workers.
Macy's strategy of merchandising according to the needs of the local markets has been very successful and it has become a standout among its peers throughout the economic recovery. The present day consumer is very cautious and is often researching on their computers, smartphone or tablets.
Macy's is trying to woo the consumers who are looking for more convenience. Macy's started same day delivery of goods purchased at Macy's.com and Bloomingdales.com in eight major cities of US. Additionally consumers can now order online and pick the goods at the stores. Macy's has also launched a new mobile shopping app in the festive season.
Terry J. Lundgren, Macy's chairman and CEO in a statement said, "We must continue to invest in our business to focus on where the customer is headed — to prepare for what's next."
Macy's goal is to increase the number of its outlet stores and at the same time it is looking at the prospects for an off price business. It is in the early stages and as a part of restructuring Macy's wants one group to buy and market goods for both online and stores. The process will be repeated at its upscale Bloomingdale's chain.

Danger "Danny" Danielle Warren is no stranger to falling. After losing an eye in a childhood accident, she had to relearn her perception of movement and space. Now Danny keeps her head down, studies hard, and works to fulfill everyone else's needs. She's certain that her mom's bitterness and her TV star father's absence are her fault. If only she were more—more athletic, charismatic, attractive—life would be perfect.
When her dad calls with an offer to join him to film the next episode of his popular survivalist show, Danny jumps at the chance to prove she's not the disappointment he left behind. Being on set with the hottest teen movie idol of the moment, Gus Price, should be the cherry on top. But when their small plane crashes in the Amazon, and a terrible secret is revealed, Danny must face the truth about the parent she worships and falling for Gus, and find her own inner strength and worth to light the way home.

Just after the a second donation was made, I received two email said that my account was limited again because:
Feb 26, 2013: We need a bit more information about some money you recently received or withdrew.(Your case ID for this reason is PP-002-223-472-153.)
Feb 26, 2013: We've noticed some changes to your usual account activity. As a security precaution, we'll need a little more information about you and your account.
(Your case ID for this reason is PP-002-223-472-236.)
Well, it seems that I just need to log into the resolution center and choose the case ID and provide them answer or proof, right? There are nothing to choose there. There is a section to verify a credit card, but I need to add another card and verify again! WTF?
So I chose email contact and provided them information of the two above cases. They did kindly answer an email said that give time 01 day for reviewing my account. Then, after 02 days, this is what I received:
For the safety and security of the PayPal network, we often review accounts for potential risks. After reviewing your account, we have decided to close it because of security issues. We are making every effort to minimize any disruption to your business. If your PayPal account balance is zero, and you have no unresolved buyercomplaints or chargebacks, your account will remain limited.
-----Disbursement options------------------------------ -----
Option 1. If you owe refunds to any of your buyers, you can use the money in your PayPal account to refund them.To refund your buyers:1. Log in to your PayPal account.2. Click "Contact Us" at the bottom of any page.3. Click "Contact Customer Service."4. Under "Choose a Topic," select "Sending/Receiving Money."5. Under "Choose a Subtopic," select "Refund/Cancel a Payment."6. Click "Continue" and follow the instructions to refund payments.
Option 2. Money in your PayPal account will be held for 180 days. After 180days, we'll email you information on how to receive your funds.We regret any inconvenience this may cause.
It's so dissapointing, but of course I chose Option 1. However, again, there is no "Contact Customer Service"!!. I took me sometimes to figure out that should be "email us" section.
It can be understandable cares must be taken especially with countries which have many suspicious activities. But it is so disappointing since they just close a account with no clear reason. And the process was also confusing and annoying. I've had the most horrible experience I've ever had.
Well, thank you and farewell Paypal.

"You sure you wanna be here?" asked Sarah
Cerise and Sarah took their seats in the stands at the
arena, joining Vani to watch one of Terry's hockey games. West Island
"Yeah," nodded Cerise. "I still wanna support him even though, you know."
What Cerise didn't know about hockey certainly outweighed what she did but she knew enough to realize it wasn't necessary for Terry to be playing so aggressively. He was slamming everyone into the boards. Were you even allowed to do that in Juvenile hockey? Suddenly a fight broke out and Terry and some other guy threw off their gloves. Before anything could happen a ref broke things up and Terry was promptly thrown into the penalty box. He took off his helmet and doused himself with water and then sat there glowering. Eventually he was let out but he didn't learn his lesson. By the time the game was over he'd been in the box three times. It was insane. Why did his coach let him get away with it? If he wasn't careful he'd get thrown off the team. He probably didn't even care. He was so defiant and stubborn.
Cerise had seen enough of Terry's games to know he was always a bit rough but never this out of control. It had been a month since they'd broken up and she'd gotten together with Jay. Shouldn't he have calmed down by now? Not that he was necessarily this wigged out because of her. Maybe things were really stressful at home with Britt and everything. Cerise wanted to be able to offer him help but knew he wouldn't take it. They were like strangers lately. She missed him so much. Missed him not just as a boyfriend, but as a friend. Poor Terry.

Exploratory spatial data analysis
At the heart of what we do for clients, the spatial statistical analysis and visualisation of data across space, as well as the combination of multiple datasets unified by location, reveals insights which two-dimension stats analysis rarely can. We are also currently developing spatial data mining techniques that build on our expertise in this area.
Analysis of customer and survey data in relation to spatial distribution and contextual social, economic and demographic data
Our work for Turley Associates added layers of insight to retail survey data through geographic analysis of respondents, revealing strong transport-link and socio-economic drivers to shoppers' location choices; we are also working with local authorities and their market research providers to analyse results of statutory performance surveys.
Creation of added-value composite datasets
We created the Index of Town Centre Activity for DCLG, based on multiple unrelated urban indicators brought together to derive a single, comparable national metric to define the extent and boundaries of town centres in England and Wales. Given appropriate data, this methodology is readily applied to other combinations of data, creating single metrics which are readily understood and compared over time or space.
Location analysis in the context of catchment, drivetime and contextual social, economic and demographic data
Having refined these techniques in work for various clients, we are now making our data warehouse, analysis and visualisation tools available to clients online. We're also in development with a tool providing UK urban retail and property data down to street and individual building scales.
Geographically weighted regression
A key statistical technique which enables the spatial distribution of data to be meaningfully incorporated and given appropriate weight within their analysis; again, highly relevant to commercial location and survey result analysis.
Hedonic modelling of market drivers
Successfully applied in our work isolating the contribution of the 1990s extension to London's Jubilee underground line to residential property value uplift around its new stations, this technique tests the influence of multiple drivers in complex markets.
Sampling framework analysis
We created the spatial sampling strategy methodology for the UK's Consumer Price Index (the key measure of inflation in the UK economy), which combined the statistical requirement for the sample to be spatially representative of the consumer economy, with an operational requirement for the data collectors to travel efficiently around robustly defined sample areas.
Historic and predictive commercial modelling
Grosvenor Estates use our applications to identify relatively under- and over-valued properties in their premium Central London property portfolio; time series data can also be used (with care) to future cast according to multiple market scenarios.

Is it time for the AMA to change our advocacy style?
I get the impression that AMA leadership for decades has always felt beleaguered with threats to independent, viable medical practice. It is perhaps worse than usual lately. The catalogue of significant threats to our profession include escalating, costly over-regulation with the recent, enervating COAG decision to consider publishing the identity of doctors going through regulatory investigations even if complaints relate to minor matters.
Claiming dwindling private health insurance rates is due to excessive doctors' fees is patently false, but a diversionary conversation health insurers and Government have fostered. General practice remains woefully under-funded and by extension this threatens non-GP specialist practice. The MBS review is slowly taking its toll with the disturbingly dormant timed-specialist consultation issue possibly yet to be resurrected. Scope of practice remains under siege from several quarters. Medical leadership is being devalued and ostracised in the entire health system. Mandatory reporting – what a disappointment. Unfortunately, I could go on….
It is not all doom and gloom. Recently, the AMA was successful in ensuring the future integrity and viability of our medical indemnity system. Unfortunately, many in the profession remain unaware of this. But it has significantly helped every single doctor in this country. This feels like a relatively small win, however, compared to the challenges facing the profession.
It is sobering to consider the efficacy of other advocacy organisations. Pharmacists have dangerously encroached on the role of general practitioners in recent times with initiatives that are clearly unsafe and designed to predominantly fortify the waning retail pharmacy market. Despite the ACSQHC clearly indicating that expanding prescription of antibiotics to non-doctors is misguided, some politicians think the problem would be improved if others were able to prescribe because the genesis of the difficulty relates to undisciplined prescribing by doctors. Clearly ridiculous, but how can such a nonsensical idea even be genuinely entertained? The largest out-of-pocket cost for patients (at 31 per cent) is non-PBS medications and therapies – principally, all of the non-evidence based detritus that help retail outlets make money. But they do not genuinely improve anyone's health (more than any other placebo perhaps would). Government seems blind to this and happy to continue to blame doctors whose contribution to out-of-pocket costs is only 13 per cent! PBAC recommendations are always followed by the Government – it is an independent advisory group. It makes no sense then that the Government has not enacted the change to dispense more than one month of drugs at a time in order to improve convenience and reduce cost for patients. Take also the archaic, protectionist ownership rules that remain in place for pharmacies.
I do believe the brand and voice of the AMA carry weight with the public and Government. Perhaps, however, we need to recognise that this influence has suffered some diminution and dilution in recent years. Our daily discussions between the Secretariat and the Department of Health (and other Government departments), complying with submission requests, media engagement and representation on numerous committees and other forums, has encompassed our traditional methods of advocacy. I do think it is overdue to consider what aspects of this remain effective and what components might be less useful and able to be substituted with new advocacy methods.
At the recent Federal Council, it was suggested that we perhaps need to consider making political party donations. It is not uncommon to see the Pharmacy Guild logo prominently placed at Government events, and the public register of political donors indicates the handsome payments made by the Guild to various political parties. Presumably, this is all part of the Guild strategy to have influence. The key question is should the Federal AMA do the same? I know we never have, and we should not ever. Nor should any member advocacy body. I feel really strongly that you should not need to buy access, but instead argue on merit. If you can't argue on merit, your argument is flawed.
Perhaps easier for us all to contemplate is an evolution of how we lobby politicians. In all of the eight AMAs, we propel Presidents between various meetings but are tending to concentrate on departments of Health (and Government and shadow health portfolios). Decision-making is clearly, however, collective in Cabinet and in the party rooms. So our more focused, time-intensive approach, is perhaps not the optimal strategy. I wonder if we should develop a lobbying group within the AMA, both professional and co-opted from the various councils and general membership, so we can have proficient lobbyists meeting with every single politician who accepts a meeting from us, several times a year. I like the prospect for every politician walking into a party room or cabinet meeting to have been converted to the AMA way of thinking. Methods to widen and enhance our political lobbying efforts and influence should be a conversation we have.
Our AMA Secretariat does a superlative job in responding to the various requests for submission to committees or in regard to planned legislative change being enacted by Government. This is, however, a very time-intensive undertaking and the thought has uncomfortably occurred to me that the effort required perhaps produces only a very modest benefit, as opposed to widespread lobbying across parliament – which other groups do more effectively than the AMA. As we all enter more stringent financial times, at the very least we must consider what effort is going to produce the greatest benefit for members. I would be very interested to hear what members think on this issue, so please send me an email on firstname.lastname@example.com and let me know.

(2) On the Outdoor LED Screen to install lightning protection devices and buildings. Display body and cover good grounding resistance of less than 3 ohms, a large current caused by lightning discharge in time.
(3) Installation of ventilation equipment cooling, so that the screen body internal temperature between -10 ℃ ~ 40 ℃. Behind the screen above the installed fan, exhaust heat.
(4) The selection of the operating temperature between -40 ℃ ~ 80 ℃ industrial grade IC chip to prevent winter temperature is too low to make the display cannot be started.
(5) In order to ensure the long-distance visible in strong ambient light conditions, you must use ultra-high-brightness light-emitting diodes.
(6) The use of a new medium, wide viewing angle display tubes, wide viewing angle, color pure, consistent coordination, life over 100,000 hours. Display the outer packaging medium is the most popular with the cover along the square tube, silicone seal, metal-free assembly; its exquisite appearance, durable, with anti-direct sunlight, dust, water, high temperature, short circuit proof "Five Anti" feature.
