Today has been the first really nice day we've had in months, with temperatures in the seventies, so I went out on the deck and took advantage of the sunlight to do some beading. It had been so very long! First off, I managed to get knots in my fireline, and then I forgot my stitches, but after a while it started coming back to me, and I managed to create this flat spiral bracelet.
If you are one of those certain people - you know who you are - and you fancy this bracelet, or a similar one either a bit shorter or longer, email me. Otherwise, who knows where it will end up?

you are multi-talented! i didn't know you beaded (another ART!) i like that it is flat, and i also think it would make a fine necklace...perhaps a shorter one that would come down to just below the throat (to those bones that i can't find a name in my brain.) why bead outside only? just curious.

For clean, glowing skin that's free of impurities, you'll need to follow these three crucial steps, recommended by beauty editors.
It takes more than splashing some water on your face and massaging some cleanser into it. How do you know if you're making the most of your cleansing routine? And more importantly, why is it so important to cleanse your skin thoroughly? Good and proper facial cleansing can prevent acne breakouts, improve skin texture and reduce skin inflammation. A basic rule of thumb is washing your face twice daily: once in the morning to get rid of dead skin cells as our skin self renews every night, and once more before you go to bed to remove traces of pollution, grime, sebum and makeup that have accumulated on skin's surface throughout the course of the day. However, it is also important not to wash your face too frequently even if you have shine-prone skin as overdoing it can strip away essential moisture on the skin's surface. Finally, due to how follicles grow on the face, it's best to wash upwards and outwards to get a deeper cleanse and pay attention to the jawline, hairline and nose as these are the most commonly neglected spots.
Always Double Cleanse
While double cleansing is still a relatively new concept in the West, thankfully most Asians are long used to the standards that Japanese women have set for us, along with their admirable commitment to a rigorous skincare routine. The purpose of the first cleansing step is to remove makeup, and usually involves a cleansing oil, balm, or milk to melt away all traces of makeup. More often than not, these makeup removers are massaged directly onto dry skin, before a small amount of water is added while you continue to massage it onto your skin as it emulsifies. Lastly, rinse it all off or wipe away all residue with a warm and damp cloth.

Try Dior Prestige Le Baume Démaquillant, $130 for 150ml, a sumptuous balm that melts into a silky oil upon application to the skin. Infused with micro-active rose water, it keeps skin deeply moisturised while thoroughly eliminating all traces of makeup. When in contact with water, it transforms into a lightweight, non-greasy milk that rinses away easily as skin feels soft and supple.
If you're looking for a budget-friendly option, try Mamonde Petal Spa Cleansing Balm, $28 for 80g. Its oil-jelly hybrid texture dissolves makeup and impurities while rose oil extract strengthens skin's moisture barrier. Even on days when you do not wear makeup, you should still double cleanse as long as you are wearing an SPF product, regardless of whether it's tinted or not.
Follow with a facial cleanser to give skin a deeper, more thorough cleanse. KORA Organics Foaming Cleanser, $43 for 100ml, lathers into a rich foam that cushions the skin for a luxurious wash. It is also fortified with certified organic noni fruit, sandalwood oil, aloe vera and green tea extracts to soothe, hydrate and protect skin from free radical damage.
Try a mud cleanser like Pixi Mud Cleanser, $28 for 135ml, if you have enlarged pores. It contains glycolic acid that gently refines skin texture as it removes gunk and sebum from deep within pores.
Or stick to something extra nourishing like Laneige's Moist Cream Cleanser, $32 for 150ml, if you have dry skin, as it contains plant-based natural oils to ensure long-lasting hydration.
The upgraded Neutrogena Deep Clean Foaming Cleanser, $11.50 for 100g, not only purges pores of grime, it also contains glycerin and beeswax to seal in moisture for a gentle yet effective cleanse.

Get Technical
Go beyond manual cleansing and supercharge your cleansing routine with high-tech devices. If you prefer a cleansing brush, try ReFa CLEAR, $360, which uses the elliptical motion and 3D sonic vibrations so that the brush comes in constant contact with the contours of the face. In addition, since the vibrations occur in tiny horizontal and vertical motions, grime trapped deep within pores are eliminated and stubborn comedones are loosened without any abrasion to the skin. and that removes makeup residue and grime from pores and skin. Ion cleansing also means impurities are drawn out of pores gently and effectively.
Alternatively, try FOREO Luna 2, $319, which combines both deep-cleansing and anti-ageing benefits in one handy gadget. The front side of Luna 2 is curved and specifically designed to fit the contours and angles of the face. Couple that with its 8,000 T-Sonic pulsations per minute and you are guaranteed a power-packed cleansing action. Use the reverse side as you apply your skincare products for a line-smoothing effect, thanks to the lower-frequency pulsation which also aids product penetration. The entire device is also made of silicone which keeps bacteria build-up at bay.
Exfoliate & Peel
Every once or twice a week, it is vital to exfoliate your skin to clear away the debris of dead skin cells that have accumulated on skin's surface. Not only does this help rid skin of roughness and dullness, it also improves microcirculation to reveal smoother and brighter skin. And when it comes to exfoliation, there are two main classes of products you can choose from: chemical exfoliants or physical exfoliants. Chemical exfoliants involve the use of acids or enzymes to dissolve the "glue" that results in dead skin cells sticking to skin surface whereas physical exfoliants (more commonly known as face scrubs) use tiny granules to sweep away dead skin cells. And while many people are used to face scrubs, acids-based chemical exfoliants can still seem daunting to some.

Suitable for all skin types, Dr Dennis Gross' Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel, about $114, at Net-A-Porter is a two-step system that first infuses skin with powerful exfoliating acids. Apply directly onto clean, dry skin in circular motion until the pad feels dry and leave on for two minutes before continuing with the second step provides skin with nutrients like antioxidants, phospholipids and vitamins. Its use of AHAs and BHA also mean that not only does it improve skin texture but it also decongests pores. Moreover, it uses a combination of multiple acids at low concentrations to ensure that the formula stays safe for skin while achieving optimal results. Dr Dennis Gross' iconic peel is also available in Extra Strength and Ultra Gentle options.
If you prefer a typical scrub format, try Tatcha's The Rice Polish Classic Foaming Enzyme Powder, $95 for 60g. Made with Rice Ferment Filtrate, Rice Bran Extract and hydrolyzed silk, it gets rid of dead skin cells while reducing hyperpigmentation for a softer, more radiant complexion. Dispense half a teaspoon of powder and massage into a rich, luxurious lather between wet hands. The dense foam thoroughly cleans out pores without causing any irritation, making it perfect for all skin types.

Shuler's Barbecue in Latta, SC, is one of those places you have heard of if you know anything about SC BBQ. Shuler's has a reputation for great BBQ, and we knew it was one of the places we would visit just as soon as life brought us close enough to stop by.
In early November, Camden's baseball team was going to be playing in a tournament in Rocky Mount, NC, and I knew our journey would take us right by Shuler's.
Shuler's sits 4 easy miles off of I-95 at exit 181 and Camden and I would be passing right by around lunchtime, so it was a no-brainer that we would be stopping on our way up.
The first thing you'll spot on your search for Shuler's is an enormous American flag. Believe me when I tell you, you can't miss it. But beyond this patriotic landmark, you'll find Shuler's in a cabin nestled alongside a large pond about 100 yards off of Hwy 38.
It has a great new deck on the back to enjoy the view. And at the time of our visit, they were just beginning work on a will be a general store on the property.
All in all, they have a great property. But what about the BBQ?
Well, Camden and I entered and paid at the cash register and stepped into the buffet line. The buffet is more than sufficient with a good number of choices to enjoy: Two different pulled pork options, fried and bbq chicken, assorted beans, collards, sweet potatoes, hash and rice, chicken bog, two slaws, pickles, Lynn Shuler's famous biscuits, fried corn and more. There was also a dessert bar, ice cream freezer, and other hot desserts.
Unfortunately, there were no ribs on the bar when we visited. Not sure, why. Maybe because we were there for a late lunch and it was not a dinner service? I don't know, but I was disappointed we didn't get to try them. Camden loves ribs.
I started with the "Spicy" pork, collards, slaw, pickles, hash and rice, fried corn and a biscuit. Camden got corn, biscuits, mac and cheese, and the spicy pulled pork to start.
"And they were really good. Especially the corn. It was kind of ugly-looking at first (because it is deep-fried). The pork was the best pulled pork I have had at a buffet — ever..at a buffet," Camden said.
That is intended as a compliment, of course. Most places that serve an all-you-can-eat buffet generally serve mediocre BBQ, at best. Much of it is poor to bad in our experience. Shuler's is one of the few places where you can get great BBQ in an all-you-can-eat setting.
"I was thinking it was close in quality to Sweatman's in Holly Hill. They cook over wood coals," I said about the pork. "I couldn't tell for sure how it was cooked here. I couldn't tell you for sure that it was cooked over wood, but I guess it was. It didn't taste like it was just roast pork either."
It wasn't quite as good as Scott's in terms of its actual flavor, but it is a very high-quality offering.
As for the sauces, Shuler's offers two options: a unique Mustard unlike any we've tried before and a light tomato-based sauce.
The tomato sauce was on the bar by the hash and rice. It is in a metal warmer like the other foods, and there are small bowls nearby to scoop some into. Not sure why it is served in that fashion. My best guess is it is meant to be served warmed. Regardless of why, it is quite tasty.
"The light tomato based sauce, that was really tasty," I mentioned.
"That was delicious," Camden responded.
The mustard sauce, on the other hand, sits in a plastic bottle on each table. I don't have words to describe it. Listen to the conversation Camden and I shared about it:
"They had their own brand of BBQ sauce. That was interesting tasting," I noted.
"That was weird. It's hard to explain; It was good I'll give it that," Camden responded.
"It was flavorful; it had a vinegar base, but it had a lot more in it than that," I pointed out.
"You can't describe it though is the thing," Camden interjected.
"Definitely different from anyone I've ever tried before; was there mustard in it? It had sort of a yellowish tint, but it didn't taste like a mustard sauce…." I followed.
In the end, the best we can do is tell you is that it tasted good and we believe you will enjoy it as well.
As for the sides, Camden said the mac and cheese was "eh…; it is hard to do mac and cheese right. Lots of people do it well, not many people do it 'right.'"
I thought the collards were pretty good, not great. "Definitely not as good as Ray's in Yemassee (now closed), but very few do it as well as Ray's. Sort of had a smokiness to it; it definitely had meat in it. It was not as good as I wanted it to be, but I enjoyed them."
As you can see in the image of my plate below, I got the "yellow slaw." It was the first time I remember seeing such a thing, but later that night we ate with my dad at a BBQ place in Rocky Mount and they served a similar yellow slaw, so I am guessing it is probably an Eastern NC thing.
"They had like a yellow slaw that was just delicious. It was cabbage in a vinegar sauce, so it was almost like pickled cabbage; it was crisp; it was like slaw but it was yellow like it had turmeric in it or something," I said. I definitely recommend trying it when you go. I got seconds.
The lima beans were like the collards; they were good but not great. Fried okra was little soft, not bad, but I like mine crispy… but again we were eating in the no-man's land between lunch and dinner when restaurants have a much slower time. In fact, many of the employees were enjoying their own lunch with us.
The hash and rice, I didn't care for. It was a deep brown too strong on the liver smell and flavor. Now, I like liver, but it is not the dominant taste I am looking for in my hash. As of this writing, the best hash I've tried was served at True BBQ in West Columbia.
There also was a dessert bar with a number of options. Camden was too full to eat anything, but I "couldn't not try" the banana pudding.
Now, you have to understand that banana pudding is close to deity status in our house. In fact, Christian, our oldest, asks for banana pudding instead of a cake for his birthday. Not many people serve a pudding that matches Heather's, but we always give them a shot.
"The banana pudding was not as bad as it looked," I said. " It had a pretty decent taste. Think it was like Sweatman's….had a lot of whipped cream in it which made it light and fluffy, not bad, actually, but eh…your mom's is still better." That said, most people will probably really enjoy it.
As mentioned above, there was also a chest freezer full of different ice cream and, further down, some hot desserts to choose from, but like Camden, I was too full from my meal to eat another bite.
Overall, Shuler's is definitely a great place to stop. The BBQ is fantastic as were most of the sides. Not only do you get to enjoy great food, but the location is very convenient for those traveling nearby and the setting is about the best you will find of any BBQ spot in SC.
What's not to love?

Hi, Erin! Thanks for writing. Shuler's is among the best in the state, no doubt. I wondered why the sauce was on the buffet and the bottled sauce was on the table. What did you think of the table sauce? I had a hard time describing it. Not like any other sauce I've found. The "marinated coleslaw" was good, too. Hope all is well!
As usual your review is spot on. We visited on Friday and it was the best buffet we've had. I had seconds of the yellow slaw and fried corn. Normally that frozen/boiled cob-shaped stuff is awful, but their's was excellent. I asked about the yellow cabbage and was told "marinated coleslaw." I think the light tomato sauce was for the rice. It was served next to the hash and tasted great on the dirty rice whether it was meant for it or not.

It's World Diabetes Day today and, while other health information sources focus on awareness, Patrick has some workable tips to put into practice so that you achieve your goals – whether prevention or reversal is at the top of your list.
"Choosing to change your diet and lifestyle doesn't just improve your health, it also changes your life. Even so, it can be a challenge to get started, and hard to stay on track. The keys to success are effective planning – and developing self-belief," says Patrick.
Patrick shares his advice for starting your health journey or just staying on track. The most important part is to "believe you can succeed".
- Breakfast is a MUST. When you wake up, it has been several hours since you last ate. Your blood sugar levels are low. While many opt for quick boosts from stimulants, it doesn't take long for these levels to drop again. Breakfast should consist of protein and low-GL carbohydrates for a slow release of sugar and controlled blood sugar level.
- The importance of snacks. Also, an important factor in controlling blood sugar levels are snacks in-between meals. Two 5GL snacks avoid the temptation of sugary snacks.
- Preparation is key when on the move. In today's busy lifestyle, it's easy to skip meals or go in search for the nearest (and fastest) form of food. It's likely that you will find it challenging to find low-GL options. Spend some time on a Sunday preparing meals and snacks for the week. Store them in containers that you can take with you when you leave home.
- Goalsetting success. Set a clear timeframe, write down your goals and place this in a position that you frequently walk past – for example on the fridge, on the dashboard of the car, or as your cell phone wallpaper.
- Pantry overhaul. Only keep a supply of low-GL foods and drinks at home and at work, leaving you with no other option than to get creative with what you have.
- Understanding low-GL cooking. Steaming, boiling, poaching, steam-frying, waterless cooking, baking and grilling are the best methods of cooking. If you do fry food, use small amounts of coconut oil or olive oil.
- Forget fussiness. It's time to refresh your brain with new ways of thinking. Open your mind to trying new foods.
- Organic is best. Free from contamination, herbicides and pesticides, organic produce has been shown to be higher in mineral levels than that of non-organic produce.
- Use Patrick's GL calculator to manage your GL intake, which can be found in Patrick Holford's The Low-GL Diet Bible or on his website patrickholford.co.za.
- Practise meal balancing with every meal – half the plate with non-starchy vegetables and the other half split into protein and low-GL carbohydrates.
It is always advisable to get as many vitamins and minerals from your food as possible to keep your blood sugar levels balanced – keep eating a variety of colourful low-GL approved vegetables. Patrick also recommends supplementing with natural sources of these vitamins and minerals.
"You can get these vitamins and minerals in a daily pack or strip, which makes life a lot easier. I refer to these supplements as 'the basics'," says Patrick.
Consisting of four of products in one, Patrick Holford GL Diet Support Pack includes Patrick Holford Advanced Optimum Nutrition, Patrick Holford Immune C, Patrick Holford Appestop, and Patrick Holford Essential Omegas. Available at Dis-Chem, leading pharmacies or online at Takealot.com.

Huge Honeybee Swarm On World Bee Day 2019
So there am I, in the midst of the 2019 swarm season with eight precious honeybee swarms successfully collected, with room for at least a few dozen more.
Specifically, I was earning brownie points from the missus by refurbing the kitchen, dining room, and conservatory.
So serious brownie points.
Out of the blue, my better half, Suzanne, casually says your bees are swarming.
'Yea right of course they are', I said thinking my leg was being pulled.
Then I looked outside and, et voila, a colossal swarm was checking out the oak tree in my garden.
While I have stopped counting, I have probably collected more than sixty honeybee swarms in recent years.
This was significantly larger than an average swarm, larger than the biggest primary swarm collected to date.
For the beeks (Beekeepers) out there, bear in mind the collection boxes I use, can take up to six (6) Langstroth deep frames, so, pretty large.
The Swarm.
The swarm settled in the tree, extending beyond both sides of the collection box, also across the top and front.
I thought about the film 'Jaws', you know that scene where the boat skipper declares 'we're gonna need a bigger boat'.
Well! We're gonna need a bigger box.
Rarely is a full-size beehive called upon, to immediately house a swarm, a full-size hive is simply too big.
But on this occasion, little else seemed appropriate.
Plan B.
The regular swarm capture box was not big enough! They did not like it!
The honeybees were merely draping over and around the box, and not interested in going inside, other measures were needed.
So I removed the swarm collection box carefully, so as not to displace any part of the swarm, then got out my favourite tool for honeybee-swarms hanging in a tree, moderately out of reach.
Into the full-size beehive they went, there were still a considerable amount of bees to get into the hive.
Being sure I had the queen in the box, I waited as they streamed into the beehive.
The only thing left to do now was to let them settle into their new home.
Hours passed, and they eventually clambered onto and into the beehive.
Later in the day, it seemed the bees were preparing to swarm again!
There is little you can do when this occurs except wave them goodbye.
However! They changed their mind and returned to the hive.
To recap!
The swarm was huge!
A large collection box was nowhere near big enough.
The honeybee swarm was placed directly into a full-size beehive.
Yet these lovely creatures were still unsure as to the suitability of the new home!
So time for something I've never, ever done before, something that on any other day would fly in the face of swarm collecting.
Time for plan C
Time to add a 'super' and increase the capacity of the hive immediately.
A 'super' is a fancy name for the box (Yellow in the picture below) that you place on top of the brood box.
The brood box is the bottom box (Green in the picture below) of the beehive.
Note: Yes! Other beehive designs can vary.
First remove the top feeder and add a queen excluder.
Then on with the 'super'.
The inner lid (Which is also the feeder on the beehive system I use).
After adding some sugar syrup, to load the odds in my favour of them staying in the hive, I add the roof.
You may think that is the last of it, but no, the bees insisted on the proverbial last word.
The pesky little blighters ate all the sugar syrup then indicated they might leave again.
This time I filled the top feeder to capacity, pretty soon they were once again distracted, feeding and building out their wax honeycombs.
At last.
Phew! That is definitely one of the top ten memorable honeybee swarm collections.
Every minute wrangling these little beauties was well worth it.
As suitable habitat disappears, more and more honeybee swarms will not survive unless captured and homed in a beehive.
These hard-working creatures are an essential part of pollinating our food crops.
This is why I will never, ever, turn away a honeybee swarm.

Alongside your resume, a cover letter gives a chance to awe a potential boss or employer with both your polished skill and how well you would fit in with the organization's central goal and culture. Let us see about formatting a cover letter for the resume.
How you organize your cover letter, both from a substance (the details & information you incorporate) and an introduction (what your cover letter resembles) point of view, are critical. Notwithstanding, while applying on the web or through email, your cover letter should be appropriately arranged, discernible, and with no oversights.
Cover letters to send with resumes pursue the arrangement of a formal employer letter. They are written in section shape and incorporate a formal greeting, closing, and signature. It's essential to compose a focused on a cover letter that indicates how you have met all requirements for the activity for which you're applying. Each cover letter you write ought to be extraordinary and altered.
The Content You Should Include in Your Cover Letter
# First Paragraph - Why you are composing.
# Center Paragraphs - What you bring to the table.
# Finishing up Paragraph - How you'll be suitable for the organization & bring the progress.
Passage 1: Why You Are Writing
In the case that you are writing because of a vocation posting (go through tests), show where you have learned for the position and the title of the post. All the more significantly, express your excitement and the probable match between your certifications and the position's capabilities.
In the case that you are composing a prospecting letter (go through tests) in which you ask about conceivable employment opportunities - express your particular occupation objective. Since this sort of letter is spontaneous, it is much progressively essential to catch the purser's consideration.
In the case that you are composing a systems administration letter (go through tests) to approach a person for details & information, make your demand unmistakable.
At times, you may have been alluded to a potential manager by a companion or associate. Make sure to specify this shared contact by name in your first section to urge your peruser to continue perusing!
Passage 2: What You Have to Offer
In reacting to a vocation commercial, allude explicitly to the capabilities recorded and show how your specific capacities and encounters identify with the situation for which you are applying.
In a prospecting letter, express your capability to satisfy the employer's needs as opposed to concentrating on what the employer can offer you. You can do this by giving proof that you have examined the association entirely and that you have aptitudes utilized inside that association.
Stress your accomplishments and critical thinking aptitudes. Show how your instruction and function aptitudes are transferable, and in this way significant, to the situation for which you are applying.

Or on the other hand, offer straightforwardly for the prospective employee meeting or informative meeting and show that you will catch up with a phone call to set up an arrangement at a commonly advantageous time. In the case that you notice that you will be in contact, make sure to decide inside the period demonstrated.
In a few cases, an employer may unequivocally restrict telephone calls, or you might react a "visually impaired need advertisement," which blocks you from this development. Except if this is the situation, endeavor to achieve the association. At any rate, you ought to affirm that your materials were gotten and that your application is finished.
If you are applying from outside the employer's geographic zone, you might need to show on the off chance that you'll be around the local area amid a specific period - this makes it simpler for the employer to consent to meet with you.

Contingent upon the employing procedure, your cover letter might be seen in a candidate following framework or another web-based enlisting framework. Those frameworks work best perusing essential content as opposed to extravagant designing.

Bear in mind to leave space beneath your greeting, between each passage, and after your end.
Cautiously Proofread the Letter

Dear Mr. Last Name:
I am writing to apply for the situation of low maintenance Front Desk Receptionist as posted on the job website. In the wake of perusing the posting, I'm confident I would be a phenomenal fit for your office. Notwithstanding my experience as a secretary, the previous summer, I functioned as a night examiner at a nearby inn.
My schedule would fit the job well since I have evenings and ends of the week free. When I was in secondary school, I filled in as a low maintenance secretary for a neighborhood dental practitioner. I'm especially glad that I was given the duties of a secretary at such a young age. I figured out how to function with individuals, answer telephones, plan patients, and answer a considerable lot of their inquiries.
I've joined my resume so you can see my present training, objectives, and experience. My email is email@example.com, and my contact number is 333-333-4444. I might want to plan an opportunity to examine the opening for work.

Same like the Crypton Z and Yamaha X1, all the scooters that Yamaha Motors already produced (Nouvo to Mio Ego, Soul, Sporty, Mx, and Fino). This is the most interesting about Yamaha Motors when it comes to innovation and marketing strategy.

I have finally finished this song to the best of "My" ability and resources at the present time. I love the lyrics and can honestly say that completing this song is like a brick knocked down on that invisible wall. Now I feel like I can really move forward and make the music I'm supposed to make and make it great! Honestly I'm really excited because it give me GREAT ideas about future plans for my music. With the completion of this task I feel really liberated and like I can do anything. I'm really excited to get on to the next track and start knocking these songs out!
A little back story so I have a youtube channel and I have been trying to find collaborations for my channel. I looked on famebit for a collab partner and I saw someone looking for a songwriter to write a theme song for her youtube channel. I contact her and let her know "I'm not a Gospel singer or a Christian, but I CAN WRITE" she said that was fine. That was back in December I went ahead and wrote the song that day, but it took me a little longer to get it recorded I had issues with my vocals then I was rehearsing for what seemed like forever and I did SEVERAL takes and versions of the song. Finally it was ok to release. Now Yes of course I know its not studio/radio quality but I'm recording in my closet with Garageband GIVE ME A BREAK HERE! Either way it goes I'm happy with how the song has progressed and what it's turned out to be. Of course later down the line I will definitely be wanting to re-record this in a proper studio with quality equipment but for now it'll have to do.

How often should I change the nutrients?
However, depending on the plants nutritional needs, it may be taking up more of certain nutrients and less of other nutrients...topping up can lead to toxic nutrient levels with some nutrients and deficiencys in others. If you consistently top up with plain pH adjusted water, eventually, the nutrient solution will become depleted of nutrients and the plants will suffer. When nutrients are first mixed..the nutrition is very balanced and for this reason I recommend changing the buckets out at least once every two weeks and preferably once a week. Be sure to scrub the buckets out well with hot water each time you change the nutrients.

Sara Taylor's 'The Shore' was one of my top reads of 2015; with a nod to Talyor's nomination for the Peters, Fraser and Dunlop/Sunday Times 'Young Writer Award' my review was entitled 'The Future of Fiction is Bright Indeed.' The thing about discovering a wonderful book by a new young novelist however is that is can sometimes take many years for the initial promise to be fulfilled. Fortunately, fans of the 'The Shore' can rest easy for a while, a new novel was published this summer and, for my money, it establishes Taylor as an enduring talent with a multitude of stories to tell.
I have a feeling I'm going to tie myself in syntactical knots in this review so I'll try to get the confusion out of the way early. The book narrated by Alex and, though first person narration and what seems like effortless literary slight of hand, Taylor avoids certain significant pronouns. As some point it becomes apparent that we haven't learned if Alex is a boy or a girl. What could have been casual omission is shown to be a deliberate choice; when at a new school Alex is aware 'that eventually someone would make an issue of my careful androgyny and I'd have to choose my side in the war, make up my mind as to where my allegiance lay, whether I identified more with my mother or my father. Because in my mind that's what they were asking: do you want to grow up to be like your mom or your dad, Alex? And I still wanted to know why I couldn't be both, why it was an either/or situation.' As the novel continues Alex hits puberty, but sexual awakening is kept carefully separate from gender categories. Others may try to insist on answers, but Alex is belligerent; 'knowing someone's sex doesn't tell you anything. About that person, anyway. I suppose the need to know, how knowing changes the way you behave towards them, the assumptions you make about who they are and how they live, tells an awful lot about you.' This is not the major message or theme of the book, but it's a view seldom expressed so well in literature. I feel the need to mention it because of the problem it causes me as a review (and the joy it gave me as a reader), I won't dwell on it though, to do so would negate the powerful point being made.
For Taylor, setting is just as important as character and is inextricably linked to plot. One of the things that made 'The Shore' such a wonderful read was the physical environment. The whole book is set within the same isolated West Virginian island and by the end of reading you feel like you've lived there too, as inescapably as the characters who share the claustrophobic landmass. As the maps on the cover of 'The Lauras' show, the geography of this new novel is on a whole other scale. Going broad rather than deep, the protagonists will trace their way across America as Taylor reworks the picaresque genre for the 21st century. The story begin when Ma scoops Alex up in the middle of the the night and two of them leave Alex's father, home and, eventually, West Virginia on journey of unspecified length and destination.
'The Lauras' is a book about growing up, about the American landscape and about story telling. As the apparently aimless journey reveals itself as a series of quests, Alex starts to learn more about Ma's troubled and restless past. Ma is a woman who started running away early. As a fourteen year old she first left home home to become a ranger; she only stayed away for one day, but her next attempt was more successful: 'When they found her the second time she'd hiked nearly one hundred miles of the Appalachian Trail.' Since then, Ma has become an expert at wandering, so much so, that it takes a while to see the pattern in her most recent journey. Pattern there is however, and it ties in closely with Ma's own past.
With Alex as our mediator and Ma as our eccentric guide, the story told is unreliable, fantastical, dark, complex and utterly compelling. As with 'The Shore' there is much more to rave about than I can fit into sensible blog-post length. Instead I'll have to satisfy myself with urging everyone to read it, and with hoping that Taylor will have another book out in 2017 that will be just as wonderful.

Shilajit for Skincare – Does Your Regimen Include This Powerful Phytocomplex?
When we think about our favorite skincare products and how they came about, we often picture scientists in clean white lab coats, in a sterile room, surrounded by beakers, petri dishes and an array of brightly colored chemicals and compounds. But, this isn't that type of article. We are here to talk about the nitty gritty, the process, the origin of shilajit – a sticky, tar-like substance which is one of Mother Nature's most powerful compounds. Shilajit is backed by science to help with a myriad of ailments and skin conditions, but we'll get to that in a bit. Right now, it's time for us to strap on our hiking boots and dawn our warmest parka, because we're bound for the Himalayas, where it all began…
Where does Shilajit come from?
Shilajit can be found in the caves and crevices of towering mountain slopes throughout India, China, Central Asia, Iran and a few other Arabian countries. According to the oldest records available to us, Shilajit has been used as a medicine for the past 5,000 years in India and the Himalayan mountains. To this day, most Shilajit is painstakingly harvested from the Himalayan and Altai Mountains. In the year 1870, British explorer, Sir Martin Edward Stanley observed that monkeys in the Himalayan mountains appeared to remain healthy and agile in their old age, unlike their counterparts from Europe. The monkeys were seen scraping a black, tar-like substance off the side of the mountain rocks and regularly snacking on it. The local indigenous people confirmed that this substance was Shilajit and they believed that it was responsible for the monkey's good health.
What is shilajit?
Shilajit, also known as Shilajeet comes from the Sanskrit compound word shilajatu meaning "rock-tar", which is the regular Ayurveda term. It is believed that shilajit was formed by the decomposition of plants from tiny microorganisms over centuries and even millions of years. It can be found clinging to the side of boulders and dark crevices. Once the sun hits it, it begins to melt, making it easier to be harvested and cleaned of impurities for human consumption.
Health benefits backed by science.
The primary compounds found in shilajit are humic acid and fulvic acid along with 85 ionic vitamins and minerals. Humic acid was previously shown to enhance cutaneous wound healing and show antibacterial properties, but a recent study focused on wound healing in the oral cavity and it resulted in a statistically significant enhanced rate of wound closure when treated with humic acid. Shilajit has also been used as a treatment for genitourinary diseases, diabetes, digestive disorders, nervous diseases, tuberculosis, chronic bronchitis, asthma, anemia, eczema, bone fractures, and other diseases due to the concentrated fulvic acid found in shilajit. According to the National Institute of Health, recent investigations suggest that shilajit can improve cognitive disorders associated with aging, thus paving the way for potential shilajit therapy in Alzheimer's patients. Shilajit is completely safe to ingest daily as a dietary supplement and has been used for centuries in Asia to treat a myriad of ailments and improve overall vitality and quality of life.
Read more about the benefits of shilajit in our previous article.
Shilajit has also been used in Ayurvedic Medicine to help with:
- Anemia
- Chronic fatigue
- Altitude sickness
- Liver cancer
- Heart Health
- Obesity
- Low testosterone levels
- Acne
- Signs of aging
- Herpes related viruses
- Gastric ulcers
- Stress reduction

10 Ways Shilajit Could Change Your Life For The Better
What is Shilajit?
Shilajit is a black gooey substance that has been used for over 3,000 years in Ayurvedic medicine. It is considered to be an extremely effective herb due to the abundant presence of Fulvic Acid, an active chemical compound which promotes the absorption of nutrients.
Historically, the health benefits of shilajit are recorded to have differed from region to region, depending on where it was harvested or extracted. Today, the potent, and generally very safe dietary supplement is best known for helping restore one's energetic balance, preventing numerous diseases, promoting physical and mental endurance, as well as, having anti-aging properties.
Where does shilajit come from?
The black tar-like goo comes from mountain crevices in the Himalayan, Tibetan, and Altai mountains. Shilajit is considered to be "India's most prized herbal remedy" and has been used in traditional Indian Ayurvedic medicine for hundreds of years. The substance itself takes centuries to form through gradual decomposition of certain plants and microorganisms.
While it is usually black, Shilajit may also be in a yellowish-brown color, with black shilajit considered to be the most nutritionally dense and valuable.
What are the other name of this ancient resin?
Due to its many uses and of how long shilajit has been around, it has garnered many different names. Depending on where you are in the world, it may also be known as the following:
- Mineral pitch
- Live mineral resin
- Mineral wax
- Shargai
- Mumlai
- Brag Zhun
- Chao-tong
- Wu ling zhi
- Baad-a-ghee
- Dorobi
- Barahshin
- Baragshun
- Arhar-tash
- Mumiyo
- Black asphaltum
- Asphaltum punjabianum
- Stone oil
What are the benefits of Shilajit?
Despite its dark and considerably frightening appearance, shilajit has an infinite number of health benefits. Here are ten benefits of shilajit that can improve your health greatly:
- Boosting energy
One of shilajit's popular uses is for energy boosting and revitalizing the body. Shilajit helps provide the body with energy by helping increase the functions of mitochondria in the body. As we all know, mitochondria are the "powerhouse" of cells in the body. They convert oxygen and nutrients into ATP or adenosine triphosphate, the substance that powers those cells.
Shilajit helps the function of mitochondria by helping them oxygenate efficiently. Because of this, it may increase one's overall energy and stamina. This is a reason why so many also use Shilajit for chronic fatigue syndrome.
2. Regulating hormones
Shilajit is commonly used to help men who have an imbalance in testosterone. With age, testosterone levels start to decrease, causing mood swings, weight gain, depression, weak bones, thinning of hair, and even severe fatigue.
A study in 2010 included 60 male volunteers who underwent a 3-month period of shilajit treatment. 50% of them showed improved testosterone levels by 23.5%. The resin works by flushing the body of free radicals, which helps to improve testosterone levels.
3. Promoting brain health
A study noted that one of the traditional uses of shilajit is for longevity. Compounds found in shilajit may help control and tame cognitive disorders, like Alzheimer's. Though researchers are optimistic about the impact of shilajit on cognitive disorders, more research is needed.
4. Protect against cancer
Researchers are considering shilajit as a potential natural cancer treatment. When in the presence of cancer cells, in some cases, shilajit is found to be toxic to the cancer cells and may even help protect certain body systems from radiation damage. A study in June 2016 found that shilajit may help protect ovaries from radiation damage.
5. Alleviating pain
In Ayurvedic medicine, shilajit has been found to have a significant sedating effect in pain occurring on the face, mouth, or jaws. In a 2015 study, researchers found that shilajit was able to relieve and lessen chronic pain in mice. On a personal note, I have experience less knee pain over the course of using shilajit. This could be due to it's ability to support a less inflamed environment.
6. Fighting inflammation, viruses, and acne
Some research has suggested that shilajit is effective in healing and preventing gastric ulcers, as well as fighting disease-causing inflammation. Some properties in shilajit may also help fight against herpes-related viruses.
Some skincare aficionados have also commended shilajit products for helping control oil production and acne. Whether consumed or applied topically, shilajit may help in fading acne spots and early signs of aging.
7. Managing diabetes
Research has shown that in some cases, daily supplementation with shilajit can help reduce "oxidative stress" in those who suffer from diabetes. Shilajit may also be effective in stabilizing physiological processes and promoting homeostasis.
8. Supporting bone health
Studies have found that shilajit may improve skeletal systems by helping bones regenerate and protect them by slowing down osteoporosis.
9. Helping heart function and blood
A recent study using rats showed the effects of shilajit on the heart. Animals who were treated with the substance prior to an induced cardiac injury were found to have less damage to the heart compared to those who were not given any. Shilajit may also reduce blood pressure and help with anemia some cases.
10. Controlling addictions
Shilajit has a unique interaction with other drugs, specifically opiods. It helps to reduce the addiction and withdrawal symptoms. This medicinal herb has been used to help break the addiction patterns and medication dependence for centuries.
How can you take shilajit?
Shilajit is commonly sold in three forms: powder, resin, and supplements. Most experts recommend using shilajit resin as it is considered the "purest" form.
For this reason we suggest buying a version of shilajit with a lower concentration of water. In it's "silly putty" like state (seen below) this moisture level allow you to pull a small amount Mumiye from the glass jar, roll it into a ball and take it like a pill.
For ingestion, the simplest way is to mix it with water. Though, fair warning: the taste is a smokey earthy flavor. Its benefits are worth bearing the rubbery taste.
Shilajit products may also be used in a number of beauty and skincare products, such as shilajit creams and sprays. The spray shown above is an all natural vitamin mist, and facial toner. This product contains both colloidal silver and the rich filtered resin. The resin delivers up to 85 ionic vitamins and minerals, while the colloidal silver creates a anti microbial environment to ward off bacteria and shield the skin from potential break outs. View the positive reviews!
Buying Shilajit
Not all shilajit is created equal!
- It's important that you buy shilajit sold in glass not plastic. The thick gooey resin is a powerful substance and it will pull in toxins from the plastic. Leaching harmful substances into the product defeats the cleansing purposes. For this reason, glass is a safer medium for storage.
- Buy shilajit that is tested in the United States. As with many products, you want to make sure you are getting a clean, and potent product free from natural contaminants and heavy metals.

Final thoughts on the benefits of shilajit
When used properly, shilajit can have many benefits. Even for those who do not suffer from any illness or disease. Think of Shilajit as your daily detoxifying bodyguard. Always there to shuttle out the toxins, promote energy, protect your body from harm, and rejuvenate you from the inside out!

Sir James Paul McCartney (born 18 June 1942) is a British musician and songwriter, and a former member of The Beatles and Wings (band). He is noted by the Guinness World Records as the most successful songwriter in the history of popular music.[1]
On The Simpsons, McCartney appeared in the episode "Lisa the Vegetarian" as himself, alongside his now deceased wife Linda. McCartney's stipulation for appearing was that Lisa's decision to become a vegetarian would be a permanent character change, to which producer David Mirkin agreed.[2]
McCartney was the final surviving Beatle to appear on The Simpsons, following Ringo Starr and George Harrison. John Lennon was assassinated in 1980, years before the show began. Harrison died in 2001, years after his own, McCartney's, and Starr's appearances on the show.

Fed. Government Denies the Import of Beluga Whales
Georgia Aquarium's attempt to bring in wild beluga whales for entertainment results the protest of millions.
August 8, 2013
Recently, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration denied an application from Georgia Aquarium to import 18 wild beluga whales. The aquatic mammals, which were captured in Russia's Okhotsk Sea, were going to be transferred to Sea World theme parks in Texas, Florida, and California. "Our nation has maintained a policy of 'no-wild capture' of whales for two decades, and there's no good reason to turn away from that sound policy," noted Humane Society of the United States president and CEO, Wayne Pacelle. To protest the US import of the whales, the HSUS circulated a petition that received more than 69,000 signatures, while 45 non-governmental organizations representing millions of constituents also issued written statements of disapproval.

Cambodia's small but vital spa industry attracted about 200,000 customers last year and generated about $6 million in revenues, with annual growth of 14 percent forecast for the next two years, according to the first-ever spa industry survey for Cambodia issued late last month by Singapore-based Intelligent Spas.
Intelligent Spas managing director Julie Garrow said the survey was conducted between July 2007 and April 2008.
"We invited all spas in Cambodia to participate and 54 percent of all spas in Cambodia responded," Garrow wrote by email to the Post on July 9. Intelligent Spas was the only independent research company specializing in the spa industry we has surveyed the industry annually for over five years, she said.
The survey found that there were 35 authentic spa facilities operating in Cambodia, 34 percent of which were stand-alone day spas and 66 percent destination spas operating alongside accommodation.
The spa industry employed about 400 people during 2007.
Oum Khim, deputy chief of the tourism industry department in the Ministry of Tourism, doubted the survey's estimate of $6 million in revenues.
"The spa industry in Cambodia is growing rapidly, of course, but in a limited fashion and popular only among foreigners," he said. "There is no official figure of spa facilities available in Cambodia because most of them are included in hotels and only a few have registered with the ministry."
Kornchmok Dang, the Thai manager of Amara Spas and Café in Phnom Penh's Duan Penh district, told the Post on July 7 that spas were doing good business and generating strong profits.
"Service fees are between $10 and $25 an hour, and about 25 to 30 customers come and get spa service in my facility," she said. "We see revenues of from $30,000 to $35,000 a month."
At the same time, she noted, input costs for operating a spa were very high.
"Every six months, we buy high-quality materials from Italy costing about $100,000," she said.
"In the past, when somebody said 'spa', we didn't really know what it was, but now they are popular with both foreigners and higher-income Cambodians," said Sin Sakonaly, the owner of Banteay Srey Spa in Siem Reap's Svay Dangkum district.
"We can earn about $1,250 a day in the low season, and up to $7,500 in the high season," Sin Sakonaly said. In the high season from October to February, the spa welcomed about 300 customers per day and some even had to be turned away, she said.
Kornchmok Dang agreed that spas were becoming an increasingly popular way for middle- and upper-class Cambodians to relax after a hard day at work.
"Spas can help relieve you from headaches, fatigue, depression and fevers," she said.

Race To Erase MS Event Raises Money For Research
By Amanda Peabody
To kick off May as Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month, advocate and survivor Nancy Davis will host the 17th annual Race to Erase MS event at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza on May 7. The event is a fundraising gala for the Nancy Davis Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis and its Center Without Walls program.
The Center Without Walls is a cohesive network of the nation's leading physicians that works to develop new treatments for MS and ultimately find a cure for the disease.
"What's exciting is that when I did start (the foundation), I had been newly diagnosed with MS and there was no known cause, no drugs–a big question mark," said Davis. "The doctors gave me no hope."
As a new mother, Davis was not ready to surrender her life to her disease–a condition doctors told her would leave her with little ability other than to handle a television remote. After numerous visits to doctors and specialists, a pattern of redundancy began to emerge to Davis: physicians were routinely conducting similar studies across the United States. They weren't communicating with each other. Thus the foundation and Center were born.
"It dawned on me that if we could get the best and brightest to work as a team a not conduct duplicate research, we may find a cure," said Davis.
Every month, the Center's network of the top seven MS research institutions such as UC San Francisco, Harvard, Yale, USC, Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins and Oregon Health Sciences University, meet to combine their studies and understandings of genetics, pathophysiology, immunology and therapeutics to advance the understanding of the cause of MS.
Today, there are now at least six MS medications with Federal Drug Administration approval and countless new therapies available to patients, said Davis.
The gala, which features live performances by Avril Lavigne and Heart as well as a live and silent auction, will serve as the foundation's main fundraiser, but will also highlight the MS Expo May 8. The center's physicians will gather at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza at 10:30 a.m. to host a round table discussion and presentation free and open to the public. At the MS Expo, attendees will gain access to the most cutting edge and recent information surrounding the disease. There will also be a public question and answer portion.
"If you have MS, it's so hard to get into any of the doctors," said Davis. "The (MS Expo) is like a meeting with the Pope!"
Tickets to the Race to Erase MS gala start at $1,000 and tables start from $10,000. To purchase tickets, contact firstname.lastname@example.com or call 310-440-4842. For additional information on the MS Expo or to purchase items from the auction, visit www.erasems. org.

For the Birmingham Times
The top shelf of the pro shop at the Highland Park Golf Course in Birmingham's South Avondale area easily doubles as a hall of fame, a place where monogrammed golf bags of several notable players can be found.
There's the University of Alabama's Justin Thomas and the University of Alabama at Birmingham's Graeme McDowell. So, too, are Vestavia Hills, Ala., native Smylie Kaufman, as well as Ricky Fowler and Jordan Spieth, all players on the Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) Tour.
Some might think one bag—Lee Gurley's—doesn't belong because he didn't play on the PGA Tour and didn't garner the acclaim of the others on the national scene. Those who know the game know better.
Gurley's place among Birmingham's golf greats is well established. He was one of the first African Americans to blaze a trail on the cart paths, beginning as a caddy and then as a player and instructor. Even now, Gurley, 82, can be found most days at Highland Park, where he's worked for the past 45 years.
Many recognize him as the starter, the staffer who gets patrons' rounds under way. Some may remember him from his previous stints as a caddy, a cook, and an icon who taught the game at the golf course. What many don't know is that Gurley shot a score of 58 about 10 years ago to set the course record at Highland Park—a mark that stood until Cincinnati, Ohio's, Kevin Hall, a deaf African American golfer, bettered that by one stroke about five years ago.
But the soft-spoken Gurley is part of a deeper story, one that goes to the very roots of blacks in the game of kings.
These days, golf is on the minds of many in Birmingham and beyond. Just last week, the Regions Tradition brought the best senior players in the world to the Greystone Golf and Country Club in Hoover. This week, everyone is seeing green as Tiger Woods, fresh off his return to major golf success with his fifth Masters Tournament championship, is pursuing major title number 16 at the PGA Championship on the Black Course at Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, N.Y. With Woods dominating the national scene and raising the profile for golfers of color, it's an ideal time to recall several of Birmingham's black golfers who have earned their place in history on the links.
"Tried to Help Momma"
Gurley stepped into the game at age 8.
"I figured I'd start caddying, trying to help my [mother and] make a little money," he said. "My dad had died, and I tried to help momma with my brothers and sisters."
Despite being right-handed, Gurley started playing left-handed because those were the only clubs he could get.
"You couldn't find right-handed clubs because most of the golfers were right-handed, but you could find left-handed clubs anywhere [because] maybe one or two golfers were left-handed," he said.
That changed when Gurley moved to Connecticut and worked at Hartford's Keney Park Golf Course. The head pro there taught Gurley to play right-handed, and his game took off.
"I got to be a good golfer," he said. "I couldn't hardly get no game then. Nobody wanted to play me. I was too good."
Gurley played in tournaments throughout New England for 25 years and eventually became head pro for 10 years at Keney Park. In 1975, Gurley returned to Birmingham and ran the Beacon Hill Golf Course in North Birmingham until it closed. It was one of two courses where blacks were allowed to play, initially on a limited basis.
"Beats the Mall"
Frank Albert Bates, 85, has lived most of his life at Birmingham's Roebuck Golf Course.
"It's where I was raised," he said. "I just hang out there. It beats going to the mall for me. It's something to do, somewhere to go."
At about age 13 or 14, around 1947, he became a caddy at Roebuck, earning 65 cents for 18 holes, perhaps as much as $1.25 to $2: "It was just a way to make money," Bates recalled.
Nowadays, caddies are rare at the facility. At top-name courses, the day rate may be about $60; a caddy who is thought to have done a good job could earn tips of up to $100.
Eventually, when Bates was about 16 or 17, he wasn't content to simply clean the clubs and provide yardage estimates to white golfers. He wanted to participate.
"We'd have to slip out there and play," he recalled. "They'd chase us off the golf course if they knew we were out there. They'd give you a club, or you could buy them at the pawn shop. Sometimes we'd play with one club, three or four of us."
Black caddies were given a day—usually Mondays, when the course was closed—to play at private courses, like the Birmingham Country Club or Vestavia Country Club, but not at public courses like Roebuck.
"Beat it Around"
Not every African American in metro Birmingham started out as a caddy. George A. Washington of Forestdale began as a 10th grader at A.H. Parker High School.
"We didn't have golf team at Parker High School, we had a golf club," he said. "You know, like the French club or the Spanish club. We had a golf club."
The boys' advisor took Washington and about half a dozen other students to the Cooper Green Golf Course in Powderly Hills once or twice a semester and they "beat it around a little bit."
"[The advisor] had some old clubs he'd let us use," Washington said. "We'd hit balls on the practice greens and maybe play a few holes. We got an idea of what a golf course looked like."
That was about 1959. Back then, few people had televisions and there was little golf on TV.
"When we were growing up, we played baseball, basketball, stickball, all types of balls," Washington said. "We also played golf. My uncle, who lived across the street from [my childhood home], had a set of golf clubs. We beat them to death—on the lawn, sidewalk, anywhere. We played with them in the backyard. We put cans on the ground [and] putted into them.
"At that time, basically, you didn't have a lot of people who even played golf or knew what golf was."
The Vulcan Club
These days, Washington is a member of the Vulcan Club, which plays a few times each week. Club members include Jesse Lewis, Birmingham Times founder and publisher emeritus; Charles Townsend, retired Jackson-Olin (J-O) High principal; and Otis Windham Jr., who has served as an advisory board member for African American Golfer's Digest magazine since 2009. Windham was also tournament organizer and coordinator for the annual Pete Ball Memorial Neck Bone Golf Tour in Miami, Fla., from 1998 through 2009.
Townsend, a teacher at J-O when he started playing golf, often accompanied physical education teachers to the Cooper Green course to play nine holes after school.
Lewis recalled working in sports marketing for Coca-Cola, arranging golf events for blacks all over the country.
"I had knowledge of [the sport], but I had to go get some clubs and start playing," he said, admitting that his greatest motivation was to help his business dealings. "If you can't sell somebody something in four or five hours, you can give it up."

In this worksheet the user will find a row named "TOTAL", which returns the total numbers of hats and shirts produced in the respective quarter.
The Profit & Loss sheet is the summary sheet for all of the data streams in the model. The purpose of the Profit and Loss sheet is to see, in aggregate, the financial performance of the company over the 12 quarters that the model is projecting .The data on this sheet is derived from the figures of the rest of sheets in the workbook via the ripple principle. Changes made to any sheet will be reflected on the Profit and Loss sheet.
The ordering schedule sheet represents a human resource analysis of BEL. As the user will notice the sheet gives a hiring breakdown in the several types of employees. The sheet forecasts the number of employees that will be hired per quarter in order to meet the production analysis. Also above this table the user will find a cumulative hiring stream analysis that gives the cumulative number of employees in each quarter.
In order to meet the predetermined production figures derived from the production analysis matrix, the manager will have to purchase the necessary equipment. In this sheet the user will find the number of machines needed per quarter. In addition the sheet provides the exact number of machines that will have to be purchased in each quarter. A "raw material analysis" is also provided, giving the quantity of cotton to be purchased in square meters.
