Learning Analytics focuses on the collection and analysis of learners' data to improve their learning experience by providing informed guidance and to optimise learning materials. To support the research in this area we have developed a dataset, containing data from courses presented at the Open University (OU). What makes the dataset unique is the fact that it contains demographic data together with aggregated clickstream data of students' interactions in the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). This enables the analysis of student behaviour, represented by their actions. The dataset contains the information about 22 courses, 32,593 students, their assessment results, and logs of their interactions with the VLE represented by daily summaries of student clicks (10,655,280 entries). The dataset is freely available at https://analyse.kmi.open.ac.uk/open_dataset under a CC-BY 4.0 license.

Adam Morgan is a British racing driver who regularly competes in the British Touring Car Championship since 2012. He currently drives Mercedes A-Class for family own team Ciceley Motorsport. In eight seasons, Morgan has won seven BTCC races.
Before entering BTCC, Morgan spent four seasons in different Ginetta competitions, winning the 2011 Ginetta GT Supercup championship title.
Adam Morgan
Born in October 1988 in Blackburn, Adam Morgan started his racing career at the age of 8 in karting competitions. He raced with go-karts until 2004, then switching his career to rallying. He was driving an old Ford Escort Mexico in British national events in 2006 and 2007, collecting several victories.
In 2008, Morgan entered his third racing discipline, making a debut in circuit racing with cars. He competed in the Mazda MX-5 Championship and Ginetta G20 Cup. In 2009, he made a step up to Ginetta G50 Cup.
Adam Morgan in 2011
In 2010, Morgan spent his first full season in the Ginetta G50 Cup, scoring one victory and finishing sixth in the points. In 2011, the championship was converted into the Ginetta GT Supercup, divided t G55 and G50 class.
Adam raced in the #33 Ginetta G55 of family team Ciceley Racing. In 27 races, he was on a podium twenty times, including three wins, taking the championship title. He was also driving a Ginetta G55 in one round of the British GT Championship.
Adam Morgan's Toyota Avensis in 2013
An award for newly crowned Ginetta Supercup champion was a fully-funded campaign in the British Touring Car Championship in 2012. Morgan was driving the #33 Toyota Avensis for Speedworks Motorsport. With the eighth place as the best result, he finished 19th in the championship points.
In 2013 BTCC season, Morgan left Speedworsks but stayed in a Toyota Avensis, driving the #33 car for Ciceley Racing. He reached a podium in the fourth round at Oulton Park, finishing third in the third race. At the end of the season, he was seventh in the overall standings and third among independent drivers.
Adam Morgan is a BTCC regular since 2012
For the 2014 BTCC season, Ciceley Racing announced it would build an NGTC-spec Mercedes A-Class. Sponsored by WIX Racing, Adam claimed his maiden BTCC victory in season's finale at Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit. He finished 10th in the championship points and sixth among independents.
In 2015, Morgan continued to race in the #33 Mercedes, scoring one victory during the season, in the third round at Thruxton Circuit. He ended a season seventh in the points and as the third-best independent driver.
Morgan doubled up the number of his BTCC wins in 2016. He won two times in the #33 Mercedes, at Brands Hatch Indy Circuit and Thruxton Circuit. Two wins were good enough for the ninth place overall and the third place in a classification for Independents' Trophy. The winless season followed in 2017. With MAC Tools as a new sponsor, Morgan finished tenth in the overall classification and fourth among independents.
The season 2018 turned to be the best so far, with three victories and seventh place in the final classification. Morgan was a race winner at Donington, Thruxton and Rockingham. He finished fourth in a fight for the Independents' Trophy. Morgan scored no wins in 2019 and finished 12th in the final standings.
Adam Morgan was a race winner three times in 2018

Also known as Diovan
Valsartan (Angiotan or Diovan) is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (more commonly called an "ARB", or angiotensin receptor blocker), with particularly high affinity for the type I (AT1) angiotensin receptor. By blocking the action of angiotensin, valsartan dilates blood vessels and reduces blood pressure. In the U.S., valsartan is indicated for treatment of high blood pressure, congestive heart failure (CHF), or post-myocardial infarction (MI). In 2005, Valsartan was prescribed more than 12 million times in the United States and global sales were approximately $6.1 billion in 2010. The patents for valsartan and valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide expired in September 2012.Source: Wikipedia
Estimated Total Cost: $79.02 for an average of 28 days supply
Patients are most commonly prescribed valsartan to treat primary kidney disease, hypertensive heart disease, rabies, and blastomycosis.
Critical Interactions
Significant Interactions
Patients taking valsartan most commonly experience side effects like diarrhea, joint pain, and fatigue.

UPDATE: The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality has released updated mass mortality event numbers. As of August 7, 2017, the Tinker Creek fish kill — caused by the Termix 5301 chemical spill — exceeded 40,000 fish. Dead fish recovered included sunfish, bass, darters, minnows, bullhead catfish, and others.
Originally published August 2, 2017:
This past weekend, after sudsy water and dead fish were found in Tinker Creek near Roanoke, Virginia, residents were being urged not to have contact with or ingest creek water. According to the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, a fish kill — tens of thousands of fish — occurred along a tributary to Tinker Creek in Cloverdale VA, and continued downstream into Roanoke County.
Not only were thousands of dead fish spotted, but dead crayfish and other wildlife. US Fish and Wildlife Service is assessing damages to natural resources, and any area threatened or endangered species.
The chemical spill's cause was found to a leaking, punctured container on the property of Crop Production Services in Cloverdale. The chemical was identified as Termix 5301, a detergent-like substance added to herbicides/pesticides. An estimated 165 gallons of the chemical washed into nearby Tinker Creek. See more about Termix on the Huntsman Global Products site here (PDF), which states that the Termix products are not regulated by the US EPA.
Health officials are urging residents to avoid use of the creek until further notice. No humans, pets, or livestock/bees should drink from a stream.
The creek is being monitored for the presence, or absence, of chemicals. Residents will be informed once the creek is safe for recreation again. The cloudiness has dissipated, and the water looks normal as the chemical has washed downstream. Still, it may take several years to return to normal, and for aquatic life to repopulate the affected areas.
Officials have advised local residents that wells, except potentially those located close to Tinker Creek and impacted by surface water, should be unaffected. Wells that may be affected would be addressed as they arise.
Residents concerned about potential exposure are being urged to contact their doctor or their pet's veterinarian, the Poison Control Center at 800.222.1222, or the Roanoke City Health Department at 540.283.5050.
According to state officials, the company has accepted responsibility for the release and hired a hazardous materials cleanup contractor. In the area where the spill occurred, remaining product is being removed and contaminated soils are being excavated for disposal. The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will continue to focus on water quality monitoring and overseeing the cleanup. The DEQ may determine that enforcement action is appropriate as the investigation proceeds.


text: "Prayer for your enemies is one of the deepest forms of love, because it means that you have to really want that something good happen to them. You might do nice things for your enemy without any genuine desire that things go well with them. But prayer for them is in the presence of God who knows your heart, and prayer is interceding with God on their behalf. It may be for their conversion. It may be for their repentance. It may be that they would be awakened to the enmity in their hearts. It may be that they will be stopped in their downward spiral of sin, even if it takes disease or calamity to do it. But the prayer Jesus has in mind here is always for their good." (John Piper, "But I Say To You Love Your Enemies")

Got this from MHS website:
PRESS STATEMENT : MHS Saddened By Confiscation Of Body.
The Malaysia Hindu Sangam (MHS) is gravely disturbed to understand that the body of a deceased man, a practicing Hindu, has not been released to his wife and family for final rites. MHS is informed that the body is being retained by the Serdang Hospital mortuary upon the interference by Islamic Authorities, who have claimed that the deceased is a Muslim.
Mr Amaran was killed in a road accident on 15th February 2009, and his body was sent to the Serdang Hospital for post-mortem. His wife, Valarmathi, was shocked when informed by the hospital mortuary that her late husband's body could not be released to her for Hindu funeral rites, as the authorities had laid claim to his body for Islamic burial rites instead.
His family maintains that Amaran has been a practicing Hindu all his life. He was married according Hindu ceremonial rites, and his marriage was also recorded in the Civil Registry as him being a Hindu. His children are also registered as Hindus. The family has explained to MHS that when Amaran changed his identity card to the new MyKad, the National Registration Department had erroneously listed his religion as Muslim, when in actual fact he was a practicing Hindu. He had notified the department of this at the time.
This situation is most disturbing and goes against the grain of the spirit of dialogue that has been ongoing between MHS and ACCIN (the Allied Coordinating Committee of Islamic NGOs). This dialogue has been aimed at overcoming conflicting situations such as this from arising, as has been experienced in several prior incidents.
The MHS strongly urges the authorities to immediately release the body of the deceased to the wife and family, so that they may be able to placate their grief on their loss, by completing the necessary funeral rites.
Let the family be at peace. The true spirit of Muhibbah must prevail.
Dated 17th February 2009

Malaysia Hindu Sangam
So, there will be a rush to check our MyKad using Astro decoder dish. Unless some sordid secret life of the deceased appears, it appears that for all purposes and intent, the deceased is an Hindu.
What the family should do now is get an court order to stop any body snatching and then get some documentation from Registration Dept showing that the error in religion was highlighted prior to his death. I find it ridiculous that just based on the MyKad the so called "authorities" can claim the body. What about proof of conversion? Is there any document in the state religious departments? Are there any witnesses to his conversion? Or was he actually born as a Muslim but the truth hidden from everyone.
I had heard one case where the deceased was a convert (happened in university due to love). But the guy hid the truth from everyone except his mother. The mother married him off to a Hindu lady and they had a kid. When they went to register the baby, the truth came out that her beloved husband was a Muslim. The wife was forced to convert to Islam in order to keep the children (someone misled her at that time). All the children are now muslims and one of them is getting married to a Malay. The mockery of it is that they don't practise any of the Islamic tenets. Name only muslim, but the lady goes to temple and wears her Thali.

Ammco shaper
GerryinBelleRiver posted a topic in Old Metalworking MachineryJust returned from a six hour car ride the purpose of which was to pick up this Ammco 7" shaper. It belonged to the sellers Granfather who bought it new an only used it in his home shop. We had to drag it up a flight of stairs. The sellers father who was there said he remembers carrying it down the stairs as a teenager. The machine is pretty much plug and play. The electrical needs to be redone and it needs a good clean. There is a problem with the auto advance for the table which I understand is a common problem that is fairly easy to fix. The seller made me aware of this when we first talked so this came as no surprise. All in all I'm a happy camper. P.S. If anyone has fixed the auto feed on one of these I would appreciate your insights
I have a friend that just bought a Delta 43-379 shaper and it is missing a 1/2" collet. Collet part number is 698799. Anyone have a spare one that they want to sell? Message me here on site

How much better to show it
In It's a Wonderful Life, there is a great scene where George attempts to woo Mary, the once little friend who has grown up into a beautiful young lady. As they walk home in borrowed clothing after a swimming pool mishap, George asks Mary what she wants, and then, noticing the full moon above, asks if she wants the moon. "I'll take it," Mary replies. "And then what?" With eyes wide with excitement, George turns on the poetic charm. "Well, then you could swallow it and it'd all dissolve, see? And the moonbeams'd shoot out of your fingers and your toes, and the ends of your hair." Then he pauses and asks, "Am I talking too much"? A man sitting on a porch nearby observing this romantic encounter stands up and says emphatically, "Yes!! Why don't you kiss her instead of talking her to death?" Looking a little flustered, George responds, "How's that?" The man replies with a tone of annoyance, "Why don't you kiss her instead of talking her to death?" "Want me to kiss her, huh?" George asks. And in one of the best lines of the movie, the man exclaims, "Aw, youth is wasted on the wrong people."
Sometimes we just have to quit talking and start doing. Actions can be so much more believable than talk. This I take to be true although it doesn't come naturally to me. I'm the theoretical type. Let's dig down deep, I say, and understand the foundational issues involved, and then let's consider all the possibilities. This is one reason, I think, that I found Christian apologetics so attractive. It's about ideas, and I'm an idea kind of guy.
This general principle came to mind after I recently had cause to think about church music. As I thought about it, the all-too-common phrase, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," came to mind. That's often pulled out to explain why someone doesn't like something in the realm of aesthetics that someone else does. There really is no intrinsic right or wrong in matters of beauty; everyone has his or her own tastes, and no one else can say someone else's tastes are wrong.
This obviously can't be taken absolutely. If it could, we couldn't say God is beautiful or the things of God. If someone said there is no beauty in God, he couldn't be accused of being mistaken or worse. That's his opinion, and since there is no beauty in God Himself but only in the eye of the beholder, the person who sees ugliness is on equal footing with the one who sees beauty. Conversely, we couldn't condemn someone who says that a pile of dead and mutilated bodies is beautiful (sorry, but I have to use an illustration so extreme that everyone in their right mind would have to agree). If there is no inherent beauty in things, or no lack of inherent beauty, then it's all just subjective opinion.
However, since there is so much diversity about what is truly beautiful, there must be a range of things that could legitimately be called beautiful bounded by a perimeter outside of which lie those things that aren't beautiful.
But there I go again getting theoretical. This kind of conversation could go on for a long time with no agreement reached regarding my basic theory or about what properly goes inside the perimeter (if there is one). What is one to do?
One possibility is to simply create or display beauty and let it be recognized for its own intrinsic worth. People are attracted to beauty. (Feel free to pause here to listen to "Add to the Beauty," one of many of Sara Groves' great songs).
Morality can be like this. Sure, there is a place to debate moral issues, and this not just for the pleasure of the theoretical types. Immoral acts should stop, not only because they dishonor God but because they harm us on both individual and societal levels.
At the end of the day, though, how much better to show the way God-honoring moral behavior avoids disaster and fosters a rich and satisfying life?
Redemption can be a little tricky to explain (from whom was God buying us out of slavery?). How much better to live a redeemed life set free from harmful effects of the weight of sin? Are we really free, or is that just Christian talk?
The existence of God has been debated for centuries and will be until we all face Him. Sometimes and for a few different purposes such exercises can be helpful (I think their benefit is very limited outside the study of the philosophy of religion, but to develop that further would mean getting theoretical, and that wouldn't be fitting here, would it?). How much better would it be to show what it means to worship something (Someone, of course) that sets us free to experience the fullness of what being human can mean, something that gives real meaning to our daily lives and gives us real hope for the future, that gives to us that we may give to others rather than turning us in on ourselves and our own pleasures?
I could go on, but I think the point has been made. Note that I'm not making the point so often attributed to Francis of Assisi that we should preach the gospel at all times and use words if necessary (Mark Galli, who wrote a short biography on St. Francis, claims that it is highly unlikely that he would ever have said such a thing: http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2009/mayweb-only/120-42.0.html). Words are necessary, and actions are necessary. There comes a point, however, when words don't persuade. Even when they still may persuade, they are more persuasive when they are shown to be true rather than just argued. People can come up with all kinds of arguments to refute what we say (in their own minds, anyway), and sometimes our own life's experience convinces us of ideas that aren't true. There is a truth behind the maxim, "seeing is believing."
But here's the rub: it's much easier to talk it than to live it. However, live it we must. Christianity is lived truth, not just theory. We can complain till the cows come home about how our culture and society are going to hell in a handbasket or about how Christians are not being heard in society. But if we aren't living it out, our complaints will continue to fall on deaf ears.

Australia Spending 500 Million Australian Dollars to Protect Great Barrier Reef
I think this is a great first step. It is important to protect our waters from further human encroachment. Parts of the problem have to do with the coal industry and use of fertilizers in farming. Some of these things are necessary and developed before we knew their potential damage. Some should be reduced while others could be innovated to be cleaner.
There always is this push between making more money in industry and protecting the environment. They seem like they are two polar opposite but some of it is because we have not developed the next level of technology in managing pollution. It is possible to have companies contribute voluntarily to the protection of these environments and create greater social responsibility.
Corporate philanthropy may help in avoiding legislative action down the road.

Absolute encoders take centre stage at SPS 2019
At SPS 2019 (hall 4A, booth 136) in Nuremberg (November 26-28), iC-Haus presents its latest generation of integrated high-resolution optical-reflective absolute encoders. The iC-PZ Series is said to set new standards in flexibility and miniaturisation.
Using on-chip FlexCount and FlexCode functions, the resolution and disk diameters are, to a large extent, freely selectable.
This means that the system-on-chip sensors with integrated blue LED are now even more versatile in the optical scanning of scales in rotary and linear position measuring systems.
The ultra-compact, lensless design of the iC-PZ enables further miniaturisation of motor feedback systems and is particularly suitable for implementation in robot drives.
As intelligent system-on-chip sensors, the EncoderBlue products of the iC-PZ Series offer all the functions required for high-resolution optical linear and angular encoders.
The blue LED is positioned between two integrated scanning fields on the iC-PZ device, which provides wide mechanical assembly tolerances and high precision and reliability.
Using a disk diameter of 26 mm, singleturn resolutions of up to 22 bits are possible using on-chip interpolation.
The iC-PZ Series is available in three variations and thus facilitates a wide range of disk diameters and motor diameters from 16 mm as well as high-precision linear encoders up to a maximum path length of 6.71 m. For miniature drives, the iC-PZ0974 is available with a code wheel of only 9 mm.
The configurable FlexCount and FlexCode function blocks provide highly flexible chips: ABZ resolutions and disk diameters are, to a large extent, freely selectable. This significantly reduces the development and testing effort required for encoder solutions within a device series.
The universal sensor platform can easily be reused without having to modify the electronics for different encoder variations, thus saving time and costs and representing a new approach in encoder technology.
The miniaturised design is realized in a 0.9mm flat oQFN32 package (5 mm x 5 mm). Therefore, the device is the ideal solution to meet the growing requirements of miniaturization in industrial automation, such as robotics, compact motor feedback systems, and electric micro drives.
The permissible mechanical assembly tolerances of the iC-PZ encoder chips is also improved.
For a code disk with a diameter of 26mm, the tolerances are ±0.5mm (tangential), ±0.4mm (radial) and ±2° (rotation). A working distance between sensor chip and code disk of 1 to 2mm is permissible.
These large tolerances reduce time and cost for installation and adjustment of the iC-PZ. In addition, the encoder solutions are extremely rugged, even against mechanical disturbances.
The highly integrated sine/digital converter with intelligent on-chip adjustment functions automatically compensates for build-up-related signal and eccentricity errors.
Due to the internal automatic adjustment of offset, amplitude, and phase difference of the sin/cos signals, high quality interpolated signals are achieved.
The available interfaces of the iC-PZ are designed for maximum flexibility in application. Three out of the five output interfaces can be freely selected simultaneously: ABZ quadrature signals, analogue sin/cos for processing with an external interpolation module, UVW, SPI, and BiSS/SSI.
The calibration and configuration data is stored in an external I2C EEPROM. The chip operates from a supply of 4.5 to 5.5V over an operating temperature range of –40 to +125°C and is thus suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
Using the evaluation kit PZ1M, the PZ1D motherboard, and the flexible iC-Haus software, electronics developers can now quickly test the iC-PZ and integrate it into their applications.

Air Agency Committee Decision Aimed at Toxic Chemical Used at Area Refineries
A South Coast Air Quality Management District committee on April 28 ordered agency staff to develop rules or reach an agreement to reduce the risk of accidental releases of a toxic chemical at two local refineries.
The chemical, modified hydrofluoric acid (MHF), is used at Torrance Refining Co., owned by PBF Energy, and at Valero Energy Corp.'s Wilmington Refinery, as a chemical catalyst to produce high-octane gasoline.
In 2015, an explosion at the Torrance refinery, then owned by ExxonMobil Corp., occurred near a container of MHF; had that container ruptured, the highly toxic chemical gas could have drifted over nearby communities containing tens of thousands of residents. As a condition of approving the refinery to reopen last year, the air quality agency said it would look at banning the chemical entirely.
But oil refiners and the business community opposed a ban, saying it would force the refineries to close, cost thousands of jobs and cause gasoline prices to rise in the region.
After a contentious hearing on April 28, the agency opted for a middle course, ordering staff to look at steps that could reduce the risk of an accidental release of MHF.
"If released during a refinery accident, MHF could pose a serious health threat to the community," Clark Parker, chairman of the air district's refinery Committee, said in a statement following a contentious hearing April 28. "We are directing staff to identify potential further mitigations to benefit public health and safety."

437 King St., Charleston, South Carolina 29403, United States
No prohibition password
King Street tourists at hometown haunt
Line between classic and creative
In the know
What were your first impressions?
It's an unassuming entrance on King Street into a small place with dark wood, sunlight slanting in through front windows until finally succumbing and the night begins. There are small votives on the bar and surrounding tables, and the main light of the place emanates from the bottom-lit bar itself. An absinthe fountain sits prominently between guests and barkeeps and bottles crowd narrow shelves on the bar wall. There's a daily quote and some daily specials on a chalkboard, punctuated by the sound of bartenders hand-cracking ice.
So who's there?
Although the days of this place being populated by mainly regulars are long gone, regulars regularly rub elbows with the occasional bachelorette party or other cocktail enthusiasts who visit. And yes, everyone seems to ponder the list of mixes, even if they only opt for a beer or wine.
How are the drinks?
One of the founding fathers of the Charleston cocktail scene, Craig Nelson has been running this serious cocktail joint since 2012, and it's been ground zero for many a Charleston event after party, official or not. The reason why, beside the ambiance, is perhaps that the cocktail list is the perfect pitch between inventive and classic. A Sazerac or Scotch-based Penicillin sits beside a Siddhartha Spritz with Mango Shrub; they make a mean Manhattan but also something reminiscent of Strawberry Quik. It's that old adage that you have to know the rules before you can break them and the staff at Proof are A+ students of the cocktail canon.
Worth ordering something to eat, too?
Snacks are available but beware that a few crackers can't combat the spirit-forward style of the cocktails, so it's best to snack with other dinner plans unless the bar has a pop-up chef, and ramen or tacos are on deck. Regular items on the small plates menu include boiled peanuts or pimento cheese, standard choices for Charleston cocktail-pairing.
Did the staff do you right?
The bar staff works the tables as well, so you get the benefit of spirit and sip expertise no matter who you speak to. Ticket times can take longer than your beer and shot bar— pretty typical for craft cocktail establishments—but it's obvious that the bartenders are working hard to make complicated drinks in a timely manner. The staff is small so most regulars know them by name.
Wrap it up: what are we coming here for?
This is an afterparty spot, a date night detour, a late night let's-get-lit happy happy hour, or I feel-like-a-French-75 stop.
Got the skinny on this place? Let our editors know!

Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Originally uploaded by Nic Name.
Or Dutch, yes, that is the issue. Ayaan Hirsi Ali is the Somali-turned-Dutch politician who worked with the murdered Theo van Gogh on the film Submission and who has been living undercover and with police protection. During the last years she has been one of the most visible Europeans speaking her mind in favour of tougher integration policies.
Last week Ayaan Hirsi Ali said publicly in an interview again that she lied about her background and name when she came to the Netherlands. Minister of Integration Rita Verdonk - from the same party - told on Monday that the investigation that she did in a couple of days showed that Hirsi Ali is not a Dutch and has never been one. She is therefore requested to leave the country. Hirsi Ali announced yesterday that she would be leaving the Dutch Parliament and would start working for an American think tank.
The issue is the biggest political debate currently in the Netherlands. Members of the parliament are attacking the government and especially Minister Verdonk for the issue and this could bring the government down. One of the parties in the cabinet coalition is considering leaving the cabinet for this. The main question in the parliament debate has been why Minister Verdonk is acting on the issue now when Hirsi Ali confessed the lie already years ago. A parliamentary group leader of Verdonk's own party VVD said today that if the procedure would go like the one week investigation on Hirsi Ali now, it would be very difficult to explain the cues in the immigration procedures.
I am really scared. Even if I would not agree with Hirsi Ali in all the things she is saying, I find Verdonk's actions inhumane and cruel.
The country that took pride for tolerance and being able to manage diversity is shifting its policy to follow the lines favoured by most countries: identity politics. I find it irresponsible that a politician who wishes to get the leading position on their election list next year (Verdonk) decides to gain points by playing with people's destinies and lives. Verdonk is the same politician who suggested a national code which would pressure immigrants to speak only Dutch in public.
But the worst things in the current situation are the following:
1. All the other politicians find it all too easy to point the finger at Verdonk. She is still a minister appointed by the Queen and a member of a governing party.
2. As my flatmate pointed out, most Dutch people accept this. They think that Verdonk is doing a good job in being tough. A poll just published in the TV news stated that 43 % of the Dutch think it was right to take away her citizenship because she lied.
I have my TV on. The most popular Dutch soap opera started now. It is called Goede tijden, slechte tijden (Good times, bad times). Well, it is easy to know which one we're in now.

Scalia's Successor Needs His Virtues
In addition to a commitment to enforcing the Constitution as written, the successor to Justice Antonin Scalia should possess two of his virtues. First, he or she must unflinching in pursuit of principle even in the face of the rewards that often come from abandoning it. The highest honors from our legal and academic establishment all go to justices who begin or drift left. Justice Scalia, of course, was impervious to all such temptations.
But a justice also faces a temptation to decide law in favor of the policy preferences of the team who nominated him. Law, however, has no team, and Justice Scalia knew it. He wrote opinions in cases from flag burning to detention of enemy combatants that conflicted with the sentiments of many of his fellow conservatives.
And it was clear from the time of his appointment that on the Court Scalia would be a member of only one party—the party of law. In the academy, he showed his independence by dissenting on issues of central importance to his colleagues, like affirmative action. At the Office of Legal Counsel in the Ford Admnistration, however, he even made allies unhappy by keeping the executive branch within the metes and bounds of the law.
Second, Scalia's successor must be capable of pressing the intellectual case for following the Constitution as written.

Thinking and Wealth – How you think can make you rich! Part 1
Thinking and wealth
By Douglas Vermeeren
As I have conducted my research on the super successful and super wealthy I have found many clues that are fundamental in creating greater financial success. One that I will talk about in this post is simple but extremely profound. It comes down to appreciation. One of the major differences between those who are highly financially successful and those who are not comes down to appreciating their money.
No doubt there are some people there shaking their heads right now saying, 'this is silly, we all appreciate money." But do we?
Let me explain what I mean by appreciation. Most people think that appreciation simply means to have good feelings or gratitude towards a thing or situation. Maybe you appreciate something someone did for you or a gift someone gave you.
Appreciation is so much deeper than that, especially when it comes to looking at money. In fact, a great way to explain this might be to look at the opposite of appreciation – depreciation. This is a word we heard more often when it comes to things in the financial realm.
Most people say they appreciate their money, but they most of the time making purchases that depreciate. Therefore we may safely assume that most people really don't understand what it means to appreciate their money.
The dictionary defines appreciation as "understanding of the nature and quality of something." Most people don't truly understand the value of their money. Consumer research groups suggest that the average american household spends more than 96% of their income on purchases that immediately depreciate. While it is understandable that some items such as food, clothing and shelter are necessities, the same research indicates that much of the income is currently spent on entertainment. These expenditures have no appreciation value.
If you want to see your wealth increase dramatically you need to begin keep a more careful eye on your depreciation spending.
I am not against enjoying life and having a great time. But to receive great financial returns a small shift is required. My personal research into the lives of the world' most successful people demonstrates that by delaying immediate gratification and shifting the purchase mentality to appreciation great wealth can be created.
Purchases that appreciate, like investments, begin to place your money in a position where it works for you and grows by itself.
So the next time you are about to make purchases, even small ones, pause and consider the value of the purchase – Appreciative or depreciative. Set a goal to increase the amount of appreciative purchases you are making and you will find yourself moving towards greater financial freedom.
Douglas Vermeeren is the founder of the Succeed Research center. He has conducted similar research to that of Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich) by studying the lives of more than 400 of the world's top achievers. He developed several success systems that have revolutionized personal lives, business and financial situations for hundreds of people around the globe. Doug is also the producer of the film The Opus featuring Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Joe Vitale, Bill Bartmann, Marci Shimoff, Morris Goodman, Bob Doyle, John Demartini and others.
Doug is also the Author of the latest Guerrilla Book with Jay Conrad Levinson, "Guerrilla Achiever."
Douglas Vermeeren is the creator of the 1 X 180 Experiment, where he will attempt to create $1 million dollars from a single dollar in 180 days. (Six months.)

In this article, I've listed a few security gadgets that can help you keep thieves at bay.
Are you sick and tired of worrying about your home being broken into? It pays to be careful these days because most people have nice toys any burglar would be interested in.
The easiest way to stay safe is to arm your home with a host of great security gadgets. Take a look at these ones and I'm sure you'll agree burglars won't stand a chance when they come up against them.
Digital Door Viewer (http://www.brinno.com/th/html/PHV1325.html)
You can't be too careful these days because you never know who will be standing on the other side of your door. Open it to the wrong person and you could end up in a lot of trouble. The only way to guarantee it's safe to open your door is by making sure you know who is there. The PeepHole Viewer will let you watch a clear LCD panel so you make no mistakes. If you have an ordinary peephole you'll already know they're not ideal because you can't really see anything clearly.
Flash Fog (http://www.flashfogsecurity.com/)
This gadget is a little more high-tech so you will only want it for your home if you have a lot of valuables lying around. It's actually intended for commercial purposes, but if you have the money it's worth ensuring your possessions stay safe. Whenever someone breaks into your home and tries to steal stuff they will be overcome by a thick fog. It won't harm them so they'll be able to breathe, but they won't be able to see so it will be impossible to locate anything of high value.
InvisiBars (http://www.thornesa.co.za/invisibarstrade.html)
A lot of homes already have metal bars on their windows, but the people living inside must feel like they're in prison. If you travel to poorer countries they're even more prevalent. Even though they look horrible they definitely deter burglars, so luckily you now have a way to use them without ruining the look of your home. InvisiBars are invisible so nobody will be able to see them, but when someone tries to break in they're realize it's going to be almost impossible unless they have a van full of tools.
Early Warning Sensors (http://www.perimetersecurity.co.za/technical.htm)
Early Warning sensors are great if you live on a large piece of land because nobody will be able to sneak up to your home without you knowing about it. If you live in the middle of nowhere you might not stand a chance unless you're warned of burglars in advance because you'll be all on your own. You just need to position them around your garden and every piece of land you own can be covered. If someone starts sneaking up to your home you'll have time to do something about it.
Pool Security System (http://www.sonarguard.com/)
Pool alarms are great for a couple of reasons which means you get more bang for your buck. If you have children who can't swim you don't want them anywhere near the pool, so if the alarm goes off you'll know they are in danger. Some homes are often vulnerable because hooligans jump into the garden to use the pool, so you'll be able to catch them too. The system sounds when anything over a certain size goes under the water, so you don't have to worry about false alarms.
The choice is yours
Unless you live in a mansion you won't need every security gadget available, but it's always better to have one or two just in case. You might need to spend a little money in the beginning, but if it means you don't get broken into it will be well worth the money.

There was much mirth at Geelong last week when a consignment of new guernseys was opened to reveal outfits so shrunken that Jimmy Bartel ran out against Adelaide last Saturday having barely squeezed into the No.17 jumper that was meant for Hamish McIntosh.
For Nathan Deans' sake, hopefully this was a sign from the footy gods that small is back in vogue.
Deans reports his height as just under 167 centimetres, adding "unfortunately". At 18, he fears his growing days are done.
His lack of height in a game that has long been smitten with tall timber has made him an unusual eye-catcher in recent weeks, as he pushes for a berth in the final squad that will defend Geelong's VFL premiership. He'll find out next week if he makes the 21, and is well-versed in being told he's not built for the game.
"People lean towards it without putting it straight out there," Deans says of assessments that focus more on his physique than his football. "They just say, 'You probably haven't got the build for the game at the moment'."
Matthew Knights had a famous on-field run-in with the shortest player to make an AFL list in the recent times, 163-centimetre Western Bulldog Tony Liberatore, but Geelong's VFL coach bears no sizeist scars. Deans has impressed him.
"As a coach you take them on face value – you respect everyone's talents regardless of size, [height] is a little bit irrelevant from a coaching perspective," Knights says. "It hasn't really fazed me too much, and Nathan doesn't seem fazed by it himself."
Knights cites Deans' appetite for the contest as the standout feature of his game, his work at stoppages, his fierce tackling. Deans describes himself as an in-and-under type with a strong defensive game.
At football's elite levels, his ilk was once as common as today's 200centimetre-plus giants. The evolution has been stark; none of the 10 shortest players in VFL/AFL history have played since the shortest of them all, 155-centimetre Jim "Nipper" Bradford, played the last of his 16 games for Collingwood and North Melbourne in 1949.
None of which concerns Deans, who since grade 2 has been known as "Speedy", and recently picked up "Nugget" as a nod to the effect of some serious gym work on his 75-kilogram frame. "I haven't really thought about it too much – when I was younger you got the hint [that size could hold him back], but now I just enjoy my footy."
He won Grovedale's best and fairest last season in the strong local league, and admits that the further his football has taken him the more pointed have been the reminders that modern football isn't supposed to accommodate men who stand five-foot-five.
"Especially in senior footy you cop it, everybody sledging you, calling you short-arse, saying 'You won't be able to kick that far with legs that short' when you're having a shot at goal." Deans lets it wash over him, content to show them he can roost a ball further than they think.
He impressed against Essendon's VFL side in a practice game last weekend, and thinks it's a bonus that he's come this far. Knights won't be looking him up and down in making the decision. "It's a hard list to make, but he's certainly in there slugging."
The original release of this article first appeared on the website of Hangzhou Night Net.

I took the plunge and signed up for a Road Scholar trip in October: Hiking the National Parks of England. No crowds of tourists. I hope their quarantine is over by then.
Boy, is this group dead! I'll bring it to life with an announcement that I'm headed to the Middle East starting Nov. 15th for 2 weeks.
It's a Road Scholar trip--my 4th. We start with Israel--Jerusalem and other cities and sites. It will include quite a bit of religion, but I'll try to accept the info as historic. Then on to Jordan, especially Petra.
We fly to Cairo for a couple of days (pyramids, etc.). And then fly to Aswan to float the Nile back to Cairo. The whole trip sounds full of activities and attractions. One week from today, I'll be there! Can't wait.
We are looking for a RV traveling group with shared values. Not necessarily atheist but one not promoting any particular agenda e.g. prayers at shared meals, etc. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with such a group?

China responsible for nearly 40 percent of global cross-border parcel shipment
|113 / 197
China is an important participator of cross-border parcel delivery. Parcels from China accounted for 38 percent of cross-border packages worldwide, according to the country's postal authorities, Xinhua reported on Nov. 26.
The country's postal industry handled 350 billion yuan (about $50 billion) worth of cross-border e-commerce transactions, said Ma Junsheng, head of the State Post Bureau, at the 2019 Universal Postal Union Global Conference on Cross-border Cooperation in an E-commerce World held in the coastal Chinese city of Xiamen.
Last year, the China Post Group was responsible for 70 percent of cross-border parcel delivery globally, data showed. The commodities were mainly electronic products, healthcare, and beauty products.
So far, more than 10 million parcels weighing 2,000 tons have been delivered to 24 countries in Europe, through railway services such as China-Europe freight trains as well as railway and highway services between China and Russia.
In the first 10 months of the year, retail sales of exported commodities eyed by cross-border e-commerce management platforms reached 139.6 billion yuan, up 25.5 percent year-on-year, according to the General Administration of Customs.
Post is becoming the primary option for cross-border e-commerce logistics, said Zhang Ronglin, vice general manager of the China Post Group.

The Words of Hak Ja Han Moon from 2013
Yesterday, I wanted to speak in depth in Changwon, but nostalgia overcame me after seeing Father's efforts unfold before me like a panorama. I could not contain myself, so I left out some of what I wanted to talk about.
I thought about how before your lives are through, as pupils and blessed families who have lived at the point in time when True Parents were on earth, you all should give back to heaven and be in a position in which you can leave something behind.
I decided that we must build a museum to explain everything at a glance regarding how the people and the True Parents came on the day that humankind had eagerly awaited, and that God had anticipated; they completed and fulfilled providential history, and it was said that the new era had begun.
In the future, truly, you will be blessed. With the new era and the new history of Cheon Il Guk, though you may fall short, you have the special grace to be in the place where your ancestors can stand. Additionally, how closely you followed the vertical standard with True Parents, and the degree to which you lived your life according to absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience is to be recorded on earth, in your country. When I think about this, it is not an easy decision. True Parents have pioneered everything because True Parents started a new history while on earth.
I remain living after Father's ascension, so it is my job to polish our tradition so that it shines brightly and organize things from every angle. This has to be done to prevent criticism from anyone. Do you see what I mean? Everything I put my hand to will become perfect. That is Father's will and my will. Now you must all make clear just who True Parents are.
You must speak and demonstrate how the unification of North Korea and South Korea can take place because of True Parents. We must live exemplary lives that testify to that. So today must be different from yesterday. In the past, the Women's Federation chairwoman said that they had resolved to bring in one new member per month. Yet, is one person a month going to be enough? For this nation to be restored, you must be determined to bring in one person a day. This is what was said. It's the same with you all. Save one life each day. Think about that.
You are becoming the people who can represent your ancestors. This depends on whether or not you can take responsibility for the blessed position you have been given. As someone living on earth in this era, you are in a position to receive great blessings. What status will you have in the position of having outstanding blessings in front of your ancestors and descendants? Do you understand? True Parents are always focused on you and are with you. This is solid backing. You are not alone. What kind of offering will you all make in front of Heaven for the torch to be lit from the south and to spread throughout the whole nation making it a nation that can fulfill its mission in just seven years?

Some more information has come in on the wire about this song and actually a little bit more insight on the song Were All Women too; which will be appearing on the new EP Party All Goddamn Night. Anyway, Take My Time was put together just outside of Tulsa Oklahoma with Taylor Hanson on vocals, Andrew playing acoustic guitar, and Dan Haseltine on the electric piano. Once the song was written, a studio version was recorded (as archived below) with Andrew W.K. on bass and some hand percussion. It was all written and recorded in a single day. The same methods were used while writing Were All Women only on a different day, it was in collaboration with Peter Yanowitz. This quasi band camp (Hanson Fools Banquet) lasted for four days, which if you do the math leaves two other songs Andrew participated in that are still out there somewhere waiting for you to find them.
I betch-ya didnt know Andrew W.K. collaborated with Taylor Hanson (from Hanson) & Dan Haseltine (from Jars of Clay) for a song called Take My Time?! Its unclear who wrote what but all three are credited for writing the music and lyrics in 2007 at the Fools Banquet. That said, Taylor Hanson is the one who performs it hence, hes known for the song.
Take My Time Archived!
Here are the lyrics:
Ive never had a true obsession
but thats what you turned out to be
spent hours reeling
The days youre stealing
Well, they might be the death of me
take me alive
take my breath, my heartbeat inside
If you let me Ill give you
All thats worth taking
Take my time
Ive never needed conversation
To fill an empty afternoon
Your touch it wakes me
Your love it makes me
Every moment with you ends too soon
take me alive
take my breath, my heartbeat inside
If you let me Ill give you
All thats worth taking
Take my time
oh wont you take my time

The discussion will open by distinguishing among the different types of causes, such a root causes, direct causes, contributing causes etc. It is crucial to understand the various causes and how they interact and contribute to the root cause of an incident. For instance, a latent cause may not necessarily lead to a root cause / incident, but it might have contributed to the severity of the incident. An understanding of the various types of causes guides a person to ensure that all the corrective actions are identified and implemented in a structured manner to prevent recurrences. This discussion will centre around the pros and cons of common techniques, as well as an integrative case study example of how each of these techniques.

Iron-induced cardiomyopathy with progressive heart failure is the leading cause of death in patients with iron overload disease, but is reversible in early stages (1). Heart failure with preserved systolic function is frequently observed, however, diastolic dysfunction was reported to precede systolic impairment (2). Myocardial iron burden can be assessed by the myocardial transverse relaxation time T2* (1/R2*), which allows pre-symptomatic detection and quantification of cardiac iron deposition (linearly proportional to myocardial R2*). However, the effect of myocardial iron deposition on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)−derived diastolic indices has not been sufficiently investigated. Also considering the impact of trabeculae and papillary muscles (TPM) on diastolic function, we aimed to investigate the sensitivity of systolic and diastolic indices to indicate functional impairment due to myocardial iron toxicity.
CMR was performed for 126 patients (age 29.3 ± 14.3 years) with systemic iron overload disease and 23 healthy controls (age 35.6 ± 14.6 years) using a 4-element phased-array coil at a 1.5-T imager (Symphony, Siemens Healthcare GmbH, Erlangen, Germany). Cardiac function was assessed from breath-hold electrocardiogram-gated short-axis steady-state free precession cine-series (echo time (TE) = 1.6 ms, repetition time (TR) = 50 ms, flip angle (FA) = 65°, bandwidth = 965 Hz/pixel, slice thickness = 6 mm, 25 phases). The transverse relaxation time T2* was assessed from region of interest−based signal intensities of the mid-papillary septum by fitting a mono-exponential function to the TE-dependent signal intensities with a constant signal offset (breath-hold, electrocardiogram-gated, TE = 1.3 to 25.7 ms, TR = 244 ms, Δt = 1.16 ms, FA = 20°, bandwidth = 1,955 Hz/pixel). Left ventricular (LV) volumetry was performed by manual delineation of endocardial and epicardial borders in different phases of short-axis views resulting in a 3-dimensional wire model (CMRtools, v.2010, Cardiovascular Imaging Solutions Ltd., Cambs, United Kingdom). LV volumetry was assessed: 1) including TPM into the LV cavity; and 2) excluding TPM from the LV cavity by adjusting the blood-tissue threshold in the software tool. The temporal LV volume curve was differentiated and then smoothened by their next neighbors resulting in 3 peaks representing the systolic peak contraction rate and the diastolic early (EPFR) and atrial (APFR) peak filling rates, which reflect the echocardiographic early (E) an atrial (A) transmitral peak filling velocities. The peak filling rate ratio (PFRR = EPFR/APFR) is an equivalent to the E/A ratio and characterizes diastolic filling. The systolic contractility was calculated from LV mass and peak contraction rate (3).
The diastolic peaks characterizing EPFR and APFR could be reliably determined only by excluding TPM. Interoperator variability was higher for PFRR compared with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (11.0 ± 10.4% vs. 4.6 ± 5.0%); intraoperator variability for PFRR was 10.4 ± 10.5%. Exclusion of TPM from the LV cavity resulted in higher LVEFs (7.4% absolute) compared with TPM inclusion. Controls (T2*-range 26 to 48 ms) and patients with T2* > 25 ms did not differ in any LV function parameter. Patients with T2* <25 ms revealed significantly decreased APFR indexed to body surface area (APFRi) (p < 10-4) and increased PFRR (p < 10-4). Except for the LVEF (p = 0.02), other functional indices did not differ between patients with T2* >25 and <25 ms. Significant rank correlations with T2* were observed for LVEF (Spearman r = 0.23; p = 0.005), APFRi (r = 0.37; p < 10-4), PFRR (r = –0.41; p < 10-4), and contractility (r = 0.18; p = 0.03). Growth (body surface area) and age-adjusted LV parameters in controls were in correspondence with data from a larger control group (4). Applying lower- and upper-range thresholds for normal subjects of LVEF = 58% and PFRR = 2.9 (4), a sensitivity and specificity of 21% and 97% for LVEF or 56% and 85% for the PFRR was obtained, respectively, to indicate elevated myocardial iron (T2* <25 ms) (Figure 1). Receiver operating characteristic analysis for septal cardiac T2* < 25 ms revealed an area of 0.63 ± 0.05 (p = 0.005) for LVEF and 0.76 ± 0.04 (p < 10-4) for PFRR, with equal sensitivity and specificity of 61% and 69% (cutoff levels: LVEF = 68%; PFRR = 2.49). In addition to T2*, only age and heart rate were significant contributors to PFRR by multiregression analysis. However, adjusting PFRR to all 3 parameters did not reveal a more significant receiving operator characteristic curve area (0.77 ± 0.04).
The PFRR assessed by CMR is more sensitive than systolic indices to indicate functional impairment from myocardial iron toxicity and may be a valuable parameter for evaluating manifestation of cardiac dysfunction due to myocardial iron deposition. However, precise assessment of the PFRR requires a volumetric approach with exclusion of TPM from the LV cavity. With respect to a higher sensitivity to cardiac dysfunction, we would recommend using the PFRR in future iron chelation studies and also in other cardiac pathologies with preserved systolic function.

Snæfellsjökull glacier is one of about 30 active volcanic areas in Iceland. Unlike most of our volcanoes, it resembles a typical volcano you might see in cartoons; a gently sloping cone with a shallow crater on top. With a life expectancy of a million years, Snæfellsjökull will almost certainly erupt again.
Can we predict eruptions?
Volcanoes like Snæfellsjökull sleep tight between eruptions. Scientists predict that it might give us a one or two years' notice before erupting again;
- Frequent earthquakes around the area usually prelude to volcanic eruptions.
- When lava starts forcing its way to the surface, the area above expands measurably.
The next time won't be the first
Although we cannot know when Snæfellsjökull first became active, we know of at least 23 eruptions in the past 10,000 years. Snæfellsjökull is a stratovolcano. Stratovolcanoes can be active for hundreds of thousands of years. They are conical and often majestic looking, formed by many lava eruptions. The lava comes from the same source and thus builds up a cone around the vent. Snæfellsjökull is part of a larger volcanic area, some parts of which have been active for 700,000 years. Other well-known stratovolcanoes in Iceland are Hekla and Eyjafjallajökull.
Seen from Reykjavík
On Perlan's spectacular 360° Viewing Deck, you look over the capital area and all around it. On a clear day, you even see Snæfellsjökull glacier across the ocean. Inside, there is a unique exhibition where anyone can experience and learn to understand the Forces of Nature.
Do you remember…
Jule Verne's classic novel, Journey to the Center of the Earth? It tells the story of professor Otto Lidenbrock, his nephew Alex and their guide Hans who embark on amazing adventures inside Snæfellsjökull. Maybe no wonder, in such a unique place.

Mega-rare 90's vegan edgemetal compilation
featuring 2 tracks each by REPRISAL, SHOREBREAK, POINT OF NO RETURN, CLOUDED, WITHDRAWN, DEHUMANIZE, and SHED.
from : http://noneedtobelong.blogspot.com/
"When people lament that hardcore 'aint what it used to be,' (especially one of my older, more esteemed friends), I can kinda see where they are coming from. Certainly the message isn't as prevalent anymore, and what with multiple violent straight edge crews popping up and laying the smackdown on anyone and everyone it's not difficult to begin to agree with this thinking. Furthermore, there aren't compilations like this anymore, not only was 'Justice For The Enslaved,' crammed with awesome bands and songs but the proceeds were being used for various causes by the label (the UK's Sure Hand records, who released a 7 inch by Above All)that at that time (animal rights of course being at the forefront) were bound to hardcore, whereas now, its all about printing provocative t-shirts then trying to fight for what's right.
What's interesting about this compilation is the absence of American bands, clearly veganism and straight edge was no longer as strong as it once was in the US but in Europe and elsewhere (South America), it was still strong, still thriving. The more I hear these songs, the more I wish that some of these bands had been able to put out more material. Fortunately the finest on here (Point Of No Return & Reprisal) did, but others, especially Dehumanize & Clouded, contributed their finest material on this compilation and then left us with little else. The former went on to release a MCD in the early 2000's but it was more noisecore and not the creepy blackened hardcore found here. Clouded disappeared without trace, a real shame because the progress from their debut 7 inch/mcd to these tracks promised something really special."

MINI Cooper News (559)
MINI Cooper Rumors (21)

Editorial (1)
And some good green news came in from Germany, too!
In Consumer Reports 2009 annual auto issue, the Toyota Prius Touring reigned as its best overall value of 300 U.S. and foreign cars reviewed.
The Prius doesn't have the least expensive sticker price in its class, but its excellent fuel economy of 42 mpg overall and solid resale value help give it a low overall owner cost. The Prius has a five-year ownership cost of $26,250 and rated relatively high on its road test.
Rounding out the top five were the Mini Cooper, Volkswagen Rabbit, Honda Civic EX and the Honda Fit. (Looking at the MINI Convertible, which of the five would you honestly most like to drive? Thought so.)
Interestingly – and sadly – not a single U.S. brand was among the 41 vehicles on the group's Best Value list this year.
"All three U.S. automakers continued to be at the back of the class," the magazine said. Although GM and Ford improved their overall scores, Chrysler "disappointed the most." The company's "poor-performing products and sinking reliability results have kept all Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep-badged vehicles off CR's recommended list."
The Federal Motor Transport Authority in Germany has declared BMW and MINI as the most fuel efficient premium brands available in that market. The agency has calculated fleet average fuel economy for all new cars registered in Germany during 2008 and BMW/MINI came out on top with an average of 39.9 mpg (U.S.) and CO2 emissions of 158 g/km.
So, to review: the top five Best Overall Value and the best fuel economy brand in Germany and drop-top-drop-dead stunning looks. Nice. Very nice.

I usually grumble at clients who complain to me that they don't have time to do hair masks. Seriously? Is it difficult to find 30 minutes a week to apply a compound to your head 2 times? But November of December last year came to me and I knew the whole hell of a 100% load, when between the "wash my hair" and "sleep another 15 minutes" I always chose the second. If you have such a story happens more or less regularly, and there is no time for traditional care, Brelil Numero regenerating oil with oat extract will be a great helper. I use it for myself in zapar and when laziness. And it proved to be gorgeous as an express recovery for clients after particularly violent stains and lightening if time is tight and I do not have time to use my favourite Matrix.
Brelil Numero: application
This is a washable spray. The product should be sprayed onto clean, towel-wrung hair, and rinsed with plenty of water. I often do that, only I don't wring my hair with a towel (I'm too lazy). Most often, I apply it between shampoo and conditioner, sometimes I don't wash it off to the conditioner, but put it directly on top. Sometimes I hold minutes 3, if there is time (but I'll make it easier then I will do the three-minute masks, actually). Here in the company of the conditioner the coolest effect turns out.
Brelil Numero: Effect
The effect after one time – visual, with regular use – accumulates. Oil immediately softens the hair, removes dryness, confusion, stiffness. There is such a big scourge of dry ends on soft hair – it sticks terribly after drying, it becomes hard, coarse, and this dry wood cannot be knocked down with anything, but the oil copes, it really softens perfectly. It also gives a chic visual effect on split ends, if the length of the cut is not an option – to maintain the look of a beautiful smooth! Cloths can be regular use of this oil. The color does not wash out, does not give fat (well, you need to wash it off, carefully, but in moderation, the hair after washing should be slightly oily, otherwise there will be no effect). But still it is necessary to understand that unlike the masks, which give a cosmetic, but prolonged effect, This oil works primarily on the appearance of the hair. Serious withdrawal from it is not necessary to wait.
Brelil Numero: Cons
I have a lot of complaints about the packaging, it's not convenient to use, the sprayer is tight, you can't apply it with one hand. And in the process of spraying on yourself and others, it would not be bad to ruffle your hair too, so that it evenly falls. Well, okay, I put a lot and then distribute.
The second serious minus is the smell, the product smells unpleasant and very, very strong. And due to the fact that it is dosed by fine spraying, you also sigh it. I hold my breath and pshikayu it first in the palm, so as not to breathe.
It costs about of oil, you can buy for example here in professional stores for hairdressers, network and ordinary. I will most likely repeat the purchase. In general, this series with oats in Brelil is very praised, it will be necessary to try the rest of the care.

Hi OCD,
Thanks again for trying! I do appreciate it a lot.
I would like to go ahead and do this, since I am actually leaving this PC for my mother to use while I travel abroad for one year. I have several weeks before that happens, so would like to pursue whatever avenue I have left, to try and remedy this issue.
Do let me know what housekeeping should be done before I go ahead and post that in the Tech Team forum.

Black Fang (くろいきば or 黒い牙, Kuroi Kiba?), also known as Bl.Fang, Black Fangs, and Demolish, is a recurring ability in the series. It is generally associated with Golbez or the Shadow Dragon, and usually inflicts Instant Death or otherwise a powerful effect.
Final Fantasy IVEdit
Black Fang in enemy ability used by Shadow Dragon (2D and 3D) in a cutscene, which inflicts Instant Death to all party members but Cecil (and Kain in earlier versions, if Jump is timed correctly) with 100% accuracy. This is the only time the ability is ever used.
Final Fantasy IV: The After YearsEdit
Black Fang is an enemy ability used by Shadow Dragon, Curse Dragon and Ebony Dragon, and inflicts Instant Death with 100% accuracy. The Dark Knight is also able to use Black Fang, which saps the HP of a party member to 1.
Final Fantasy Dimensions IIEdit
Dissidia Final FantasyEdit
Black Fang is an EX Mode only ability used by Golbez, used by holding both and . It has an extremely long charge time, but if it connects will instantly inflict Break regardless if the opponent's Bravery is locked or not, and can only be prevented through the usage of Phoenix.
Dissidia 012 Final FantasyEdit
Black Fang is an EX Mode only ability used by Golbez, and retains all the properties from the previous game.
Dissidia Final Fantasy NTEdit
Black Fang is one of Golbez's HP moves. After charging a black spike shoots up from underneath the target dealing HP damage if it hits. If used while Golbez has the Shadow Dragon out, it will inflict Slow on the target while it charges.
Final Fantasy Airborne BrigadeEdit
Final Fantasy Record KeeperEdit
Black Fang is unique Soul Break available to Golbez which at the expense of one Soul Gauge segment deals four non-elemental magic attacks to a single target. He can use it via axe Rune Axe (IV) from which it can be mastered so it can be used without needing to be equipped with the said weapon.
Final Fantasy Brave ExviusEdit
Guardian CrossEdit
