Fusionbrands has debuted the Citrus Squeeze and SpinOut Strainer at the Atlanta Market.
The Citrus Squeeze is designed to press and pour fresh juices. It has a wide opening, which the company said makes it easier to insert and remove wedges. The new kitchen tool holds a citrus wedge between its teeth and then the user can press out the juice. It is also designed to filter out seeds. The Citrus Squeeze has a suggested retail price of $7.99.
The SpinOut Strainer is a collapsible pot strainer. The company said the new strainer can spin out to a full-size pot strainer and then spins back into itself for easy storage. It can also be adjusted to fit the size of pots. The SpinOut Strainer has a suggested retail price of $12.99.

British Antarctic Survey
In December 2018, EvoEnergy were appointed to erect a solar carport and cycle shelter at the British Antarctic Survey. The client was driven by meeting sustainable development goals, creating a more pleasant, safe place to park, expand and secure their cycling facilities and implement EV charging points to encourage staff uptake of electric vehicles.
EvoEnergy designed and installed 4 Y shaped solar carports, and a solar bike shed, generating 219kWp. The new bike shed has doubled the space available for bicycle storage from 100 to 200 by using a two-tier rack system, with a cycle repair stand and space for bicycle trailers.
Rather than using a traditional string inverter setup, which only performs as well as the least efficient module, the installation uses SolarEdge optimisers connected to pairs of modules which make the whole system safer and more efficient.
Its heartbeat communication system lets individual panels talk directly to the inverters in pairs, so in the event of one panel breaking or losing efficiency, only two from the whole array will be affected; In the event of a fire or broken cable, the inverters make the whole PV system safer by dropping the array voltage from 850v to 21v.
As a result of an optimised system, the inverters are smaller than standard inverters. Their performance can be accessed in real-time online, individual module monitoring allows EvoEnergy to swiftly identify and remedy any issues.
Along with the carports and bike shed, a 7 kW twin column mounted PodPoint EV charger was installed. The design process was complex and tailored to suit the site at British Antarctic Survey. The system and EV charger were fitted over two months. To improve security in the carpark and optimise traffic flow, entry and exit barriers were installed with an intercom system. Pathways were improved and adjusted to a new layout to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. Careful management of the carpark was required throughout the construction of the site to maintain the usability of parts of the carpark and ensure safety for all, both contractors public, and users. Useable space was limited, for storage, leading to staged deliveries of steelwork, solar panels and inverters.
The array, stretching over 96 car parking spaces, should cut the site's carbon footprint by over 90.6 Tonnes per year as well as contributing towards the BAS environmental objective, and encouraging alternative travel methods (EV & Bike). The carpark was originally planted with shrubs and flowers in beds around car parking spaces. They were removed temporarily to allow construction of the carport, with the intention of reinstating the vegetation after the construction to retain biodiversity.
The project was finished in May 2019 and has been operating successfully since.
Parthena Exizidou, British Antarctic Survey's Energy & Carbon Manager, said:
"The design and development of the solar carports at BAS Cambridge is an exciting and innovative project that is increasing renewable energy generation to BAS energy mix and has had a significant impact on our carbon footprint reduction. The process from designing to installation has been managed with detail and imagination. The aesthetics have been carefully considered and there has been many positive comments."

I went down to the B&Q car park this evening, which was supposed to be the re-direction point for BNP members on their way to their regional secret Christmas party. The idea was to show that there is considerable opposition to them holding their events in the area.  As the BNP party did not go ahead in Crawley you would have to say it was a success.
I turned up a little bit early in the pouring rain to find several police vehicles in the car park – like three vans a couple of cars and a motorbike. Rather than loiter about getting conspicuously soaked I browsed in B&Q for a while: not to get 'tooled up' (although it would be the perfect place) but just to pass some time and get some last-minute Christmas shopping ideas.
When I came out the rest of the protesters were starting to arrive and, miraculously, it stopped raining. The crowd grew, as did rumours about what was going on with the BNP. It turns out that the venue for their party had become aware of the nature of the event and had cancelled the booking, although nobody knew exactly when that had happened.  Later on we heard that the BNP had managed to find another venue in Berkshire so for the third time in a week they had been prevented from holding an event in Sussex.
This all turned the gathering into more of a celebration than a protest and we could have just gone home, but if somebody has taken the trouble to bring a bullhorn along there is no way you are not going to get some speeches. The first speaker was our local MP, Laura Moffatt, followed by a representative of the Wealden UAF. That turned out to be me, because when asked who was going to speak all the others used the tactic of pointing at me and hiding.
Normally crowds are spoken to by the chair of an organisation, or a president, or something like that. This may be the first time that such a duty has fallen to the webmaster.
Having successfully completed the trifecta of thwarting the march of fascism in Sussex, most of the crowd repaired to the nearest pub. Jayne and I snuck off home to put the kettle on.

CATS and pigeons are the most targeted animals by people who use air guns.
Animal welfare charity, RSPCA, has received 767 reports of animals being shot in 2018 across England and Wales.
ALSO READ: 1,340 calls from South East about baby birds prompts RSPCA to give advice
Pet cats bore the brunt of the shootings with 258 incidents recorded, while 112 pigeons were shot.
The charity has received 126 reports of animals in the South East who have been shot by air guns and Oxfordshire has the second lowest number of animals shot, with six incidents reported, while Kent is the worst in the region with 35 reports.
Nearly half of vets who replied to a British Veterinary Association survey in 2016 said they had treated cats which had been victims of airgun crime and nearly half those incidents had proved fatal.
The RSPCA is now calling for the licencing of air guns in response to the statistics.
ALSO READ: RSPCA exotic animals call across Oxfordshire in 2018
Dermot Murphy, RSPCA Chief Inspectorate Officer said: "Animals are suffering horrendous injuries and often dying as a result of airgun attacks and these weapons are also potentially extremely dangerous for people.
"Every one of the 258 pet cats and 73 dogs deliberately killed or maimed last year by people using air guns represents a devastated family.
"We believe air gun misuse is happening on a large scale and what we see at the RSPCA could be the tip of the iceberg. We believe that stricter controls are long overdue.
"Mandatory licensing would be an effective start, but we also need improved enforcement of airgun legislation as well as better, more targeted education and explanation of the law for those buying one."

Murphy's Rule (complete)
Angela put her hands under a dumpster beside her and hoisted into the air over her head with a grunt of effort. She turned toward the brat at the mouth of the alley and prepared to throw it as fast as she could. Her efforts were stymied by the appearance of a new figure landing on top of a fire escape. He was dressed in a black suit and had hidden his eyes behind a large pair of dark glasses. As Angela pulled back to throw he launched a blast of green energy from his hand that slammed into the dumpster and knocked it out of Angela's hands.
"Leave this to me, Young One," the older man intoned with what could be mistaken for someone with too high a voice doing a Batman impersonation. "Get yourself to safety!" So saying, the new arrival hopped over the railing and used his green energy to float down safely to place himself between Star and Angela.
"Who the f&%k are you?" Angela demanded. "How many of you weirdos are there?"
The man answered by extending both hands and sending her rolling down the alley.
"I'm Blaster. And there's only one weirdo I can see."
Angela tumbled helplessly as the force of the beams carried her down the alley. This was getting ridiculous! She reached the end of the building and rolled in behind it to get a break. That had hurt. She wasn't going to let him get her like that again. Angela grabbed some bags of trash from beside a nearby doorway and hid there. She didn't have to wait long for Blaster to come running around the corner. As she hoped, he didn't see her. Just as he passed by she leapt out and tackled him. He lit himself up with a green energy shield, but it was too late...she had touched him.
Though she was thrown off by the energy shield, Angela could still feel his life force entering her body. It was quite different than she had expected, as though it were more concentrated and far more potent than anyone else's that she had stolen so far.
"Oh Blaster! Mmmm...that feels really good!"
He rapidly turned pale as the thin mist of his energy draining out of him became a thick smoke. Angela stood before him holding out a hand into which the smoke of his essence flowed. Just before he blacked out he looked up at her to see an evil smile on her face.
"How does it feel to be a hero?" she asked him, kicking him to the ground with her foot.
Angela felt different. She could feel something inside her, something new...something powerful. She held up her tingling hands and looked at them.
"I wonder..."
Holding a palm out toward the opposite wall Angela instinctively launched a beam of green energy into it. Grinning, she did it again.
"Oh my!"
Concerned that she was practically naked now, Angela looked around for the young upstart that had made what should have been her perfect day fall short of that.

This wasn't good.
Not good at all. What could go wrong..
She was now packing heat.
She hid however behind the trash dumpster that seemed to be forgoteen. and thought of a clever scheme...none where forfthcoming.

Looking down at herself she noticed two things simultaneously. She had to get new clothes, and her body was astoundingly developed. Seeing the faint outline of abs on her stomach made her smile. She'd never been very fit. Now, and through no real effort on her part, she was super-fit.
Not allowing herself to admire her new body for too long, Angela moved on as fast as she could to her intended goal: The local gym. Rather than show concern as people stood shocked at the sight of her, Angeal smiled warmly at her victims and quickly allieviated any concerns thay may have had about her appearance. Before she entered the gym she added another nine people to growing tally.
"Um...I'm sorry miss, but you cannot come in here dressed like that."
Angela smiled at the young and rather large male receptionist.
"I've had one hell of a morning!" Angela explained. "I was just going to go into your merchandise department and pick up an outfit."
"Um...okay. But I'll need to see some sort of proof of membership."
"That's a shame. I was hoping to be a little more subtle." Angela reached out and touched the hand he had placed on the counter. He turned pale and fell over. Angela hugged herself as his energy flowing into her. It wasn't as potent as Blaster's, but it was still more potent than most of the people she had claimed so far. Yes, she thought, coming to the gym had been a very good idea. Angela left the man there, and went into the small alcove where the gym sold its workout gear. She picked out a small but simple lyrca outfit, a two-piece set that would let her show off her improved abs. The attendant asked the question of cash or charge, and Angela answered by taking the man's considerable strength and vitality. She sat him in a nearby seat and leant him over as though he were sleeping. Seeing that he now looked like a man in his nineties, most people would just assume he was an old man having a nap. Making sure no-one was watching, Angela sat the receptionist next to him.
Looking into the vast wortout area and it's myriad of machines, Angela was extremely pleased to see how many people were here today. This was one of the best gyms in Cape Hope and boasted several top bodybuilding competitors as clientelle. Hoping that a few of them were in today, Angela smiled and went in.

Okay what next what next. She sighed and shook her head. She looked at her face. Rae had worked half her life in a grocery store. It was an old saw, don't shop when your hungry.
This woman was very hungry.
And a gym.
It was an all fucking you can eat buffet.
But it was slightly sad still. She thought not for the first time in this crazy-half hour, hour?- this woman had the look of someone who would never be satisfed, always be hungry. There was a raging monster inside of her a peice of the void sucking out life....how to fill it up...
when rae turned ehr head back to the opening of the alleyand saw what looked to be 20 solders with machine guns.
She raised her arms.
10 minutes latter Star had her masked pulled up her hands in hand cuffs(not that it would do much as there where still hand cuff chinks from last time) and thankfully was talking to someone. His name was Frank Allen, and he was a detective-and seemingly a pretty reasonable one. There where miltary viecleles from the national guard, police-well....
"so you two have been fighting for the last hour up and down the westside?"
"I am th good one." said star "The one trying to help you..though admitidly most of the witnesses to that are dead. Not really effectivly helping...but its one of those days"
"Right" said allen. he took a pair of keys and uncuffed her.
"What are you doing?" said star.
"Well that obviously wasn't going to do much but you where standing patiently so thats a good sign"
"look..i don't know a lot about her...she was just starting to...well she can drain people of there life. shes like a vampire. except not as sparkly. But she used to be an old women...i saw her on trenton street...thats where it started, maybe you can find more info"
"Murphy, Angela Murphy" said Allen "We have been getting a picture...just who are you?"
"The Star" said the the star.
Allen turned around
"Chang, Rae Chang, i am A student at the university"
Well the secret identiy didn't last long did it?
"i just kind of well...i am the good version of her i guess. i can't steal life but i can do things, and i have been trying but....i don't know..i guess i am a superhero..but i will admit it, charge me if you want, arrest me-but you got to stop her. Maybe gas of some kind.. she looks like she went in the gym...just stop her from killing more people"

Reaching the big group of steroid fueled pump junkies, Angela offered them a smile.
"Hi there, little lady," the closest man greeted her, eyeing up and down in a blantant assessment.
"I'm kind of new here. Can one of you fine gentlemen show a lady around?"
"Well, we're kinda busy," another hulking fellow informed her. His tone was all business.
"Allow me," the man who had spoken first offered, placing a hand on her shoulder and turning her toward to the long row of machines behind them. "I'll be back in a while fellas."
The others shook their heads at him while Angela tried not to drain too much. She found it quite easy to stop the absorption, relieved that she could have a little fun. As she was escorted past the gathered bodybuilders, Angela 'accidently' brushed any who were conveniently close enough. She could feel a connection, and realised she might be able to tag most, if not all, of the people unfortunate enough to be working out today.
The man took her around the gym and showed her where everything was. He had obviously done this before, because he was spewing information like a tour guide. Angela was busy sneakily touching as many people as she could. It only required the slightest touch.
"So...do you want to warm up?"
"I want to use that one," Angela informed him, pointing to where several bulky blokes she had not yet tagged were using curl machines.
"Sure," he shrugged, leading the way. "What do you want me to set it on?" he asked.
Angela thought about that. She was far too strong to show him anything close to what she was really capable of without raising suspicion. But then...she had tagged half the room already, and he'd be dead soon anyway. For some reason, the idea of showing off her physical power in front of this obvious gym junky gave her quite a thrill.
"How about halfway?"
"Um...you have done this before right?"
"Seriously? You expect me to believe that? With that body you've got? Alright, girl. I'll play along."
Nobody had called her a girl in so long that he'd made her smile. "Thank you."
Angela took a very poor position on the machine, looking a little awkward as she prepared to do the lift. The man watching was obviously amused. But his smile vanished as the weights smoothly lifted, and went back down with a clang. She started doing it over and over, much to the astonishment of those watching. She smiled at them as she let go of the machine. Having watched her guide set the weight, she reached over and maxed it out. Then she started to do her incorrect curls again, just as fast.
"How is this supposed to be any good for you?" she asked.
"It pumps the bloods through...hey! What kind of game is this?"
Angela smiled. She had waited as long as she possible could. It was time to get started.
"You know...I think I can feel it working!"
As she curled the weight, Angela started to slowly sip from the people she had tagged. Her head started to spin. Taking so many at once, and all of them so healthy and strong, far eclipsed the rush she had gotten from Blaster. And the massive dose of life force showed physically as every muscle in her body increased in size and density. "Wow! This feels great!"
The man fell to his knees, and cries of distress went up all around the gym. His eyes widened at her increasing size, and then he noticed his shrinking body.
"You're...stealing my muscles," he whimpered.
"Don't be ridiculous," she chided. "I'm just working out is all!"
Confusion reigned. Then one of the big guys on the curling machine noticed what was happening to Angela as she arched her back and moaned in pleasure.
"It's her! That bitch over there!"
Angela snapped to reality quick smart, and glowered at the untapped source of power who dared to insult her. Still curling away at the same pace she let go of the machine with one hand and rasied her palm to the rude man. She underestimated her increasing power, and the blast she sent at him knocked him flying. He lay on the floor, smoke rising from his charred body. Angela was just as surprised as everyone else. But the drawback to her angry murder was twofold. She wasted a potential 'meal', and caused all those who were able to rush for the door.

At one level that made sence. Don't make anything worse. At one level the police certainly wheren;t invulnernable. Maybe the world needed superheros in situtions like this. And by superheros she meant iddiots.
They had tried taking her head on...and
But Star withered.
Allen put a hand on your shoulder "Your very brave Chang ....or should i call you Star?"
"Whatever. your brave got to give you that but leave this to the professionals"
Star looked back and gave his hand a friendly squeeze. "I am here to help you"
"And you did. i suspect without distraction she whould have killed 3 times as many people by now
"One is to many" said star
"Right." said Allen sympathetically "Right"
he paused "let me tell you something about life out here. Life on the street. you see stuff. Now i never saw a woman steal the life force from bodybuilding women to gain superpowers-but i seen...i seen a lot of stuff. Parents killed by there kids. Drugs-drugs can do worse stuff to you the death. Prostittues a lot younger then you..i seen stuff. I don't know what comicbook you come from....this world is shit. And she is just part of it"
the strategy was devoloping. Empty the building put enough knockout gas to level an elephant. However that needed approval up the chain of command, as knockout gas had a non 0 chamce of killing or permently injuring people. Which made sence.
however as people fleed out of the building.....she wondered if lunch wasn't to short.

Amanda stood before the survivors, her muscles now clearly defined, and obviously strong.
"Well?" she demanded, putting her hands arrogantly on her hips. "Are you just gonna stand there while I suck the life out of all of you?"
She heard a heavy step behind her and turned to see something she hadn't expected. One of the smaller men in the gym had snuck up behind her with a bench-press machine over his head. He brought it down on her head just as she turned. It hurt considerably, and left her half buried in the floor.
"Not another one!" she groaned, shoving the machine off her and getting to her feet.
"Make a move and I'll kill you!" the small man warned, sounding quite serious.
"What did you just try to do?" Amanda asked, gesturing at the machine. She moved toward him, and he grabbed hold of a loaded weight bar and swung it directly at her face. Amanded managed to block it with her forearm. She grabbed it and tried to pull it out of his hands.
"You might be strong, princess...but you've got nothing on me!"
The power of her own grip betrayed her as the man turned and launched her at the wall. She burst through the concrete into a shower room, and squealed to an awkward halt on the non slip tiles. It hurt like hell, but she got up. Where the hell were all these weirdos coming from? How many of them were there? She stood and dusted herself off. If she had been wounded she had healed, and she didn't feel all that weaker for it. Dodging the loaded barbell as it speared past her, Angela growled and ran him. He didn't know to dodge, that all she wanted to do was get in contact with his skin. So he steeled himself and caught hold of her she came toward him.
Angela drank greedily, surprised by the intoxicating level of evergy he gave her. Blaster had given her biggest rush so far, but this was on a whole new level.
Grappling with her, the man felt a little woozey. Realising something was wrong, he tore himself free and flung her away. It was quite easy, but not quite as easy as it should have been. But though the apparently arounsed woman was now on the other side of the room, she continued to writhe and moan. The man blinked a few times and tried to shake off the odd feeing without success.
"What have you done to me?"
"Mmmm...you have no idea how good this feels!" she told him, accelerating the process as much as could. The misty connection between them thickened until it looked solid. Amanda was simply astonished at how long it seemed to take. It seemed that he had an ocean were everyone else in the gym had a duck pond. "Wow! You're really strong! Well...that is to say, you were."
Getting it together enough to stand up, Angela stretched her gently inflating frame.
"You're a fiend!" he declared. He grabbed another barbell and swung it at her head. Fully aware that she was at least ten times stronger than before she had tapped into this strong man she let him hit her. She allowed him to spend his last moments on Earth trying to kill her without bothering to stop him. The first two hits stung a little, but she could hide the pain and it didn't knock her head about too much. After that the barbell just bounced off, as his strength waned and hers grew ever greater. As he began to whither she took him by the throat in one hand hand and lifted him up. Her touch accelerated the process and he could clearly see her muscles strengthening and hardening right in front of his eyes. She smiled at him.
"That's right, little fella. I just stole all your strength." She watched the life fade from his eyes, and dropped him negligently to the floor.

thats just it Snipper Fire hit the door to the window of the gym as they watcher her kill more people.
Unofrutnitly what they didn't know was that six month before there had been a drive by shooting of the gym outside the gym which had cause the manangment to invest in much heavyer windows for the front of the building- so when about 6 bullet lodged in the windows told by a commander to take the shot, they all lodged harmlessly in the glass as about hundred cops stood outside, hoping they could stop her. It wouldn't have stoped a normal foe.

A few people were now attempting to move the machine she had used to block the entrance. Angela strode up behind them and picked the biggest up by the back of the neck. He was, for the time being, a huge man. She waved him about, testing his weight, and found it far too easy. It was though he were made of hollow polystyrene. As she shrank him, discarding him afterward, Angela realised that compared to other people who had special powers, normal people could no longer give her the tremendous rush she was looking for.
But she took the rest anyway. Enjoying her new strength she tore her way through the gym in a flash, knocking aside any equipment unfortunate enough to be in her path aside as if weren't there. Once she had tapped everyone who was left, Angela drew upon them all at once. It felt good...really good...but not great.
Only once her hunt was complete, and Angela stood half an inch taller with much thicker muscles all over her body, did she notice the force gathering outside.
"Damn it!" she cursed. "How did they get here so damn fast?"
Then she considered how long she had been here, and realised they'd had plenty of time to set up their little blockade outside the gym. Especially considering that the girl who had caused her so much trouble stood among them. Flexing her new improved physique, Angela started to think how easily she could break out through the back. Even if there wasn't a door, bricks would not stop her now. But even as the thought of how easy it would be to destroy brickwork and effect an escape, it occured to Angela that she didn't need to run. With ease that excited her she hoised a large machine, weight and all. It was like holding a balloon. Bring her hands closer together she listened with pride as the steel groaned. Despite it's protests, the metal bars offered very little physical challenge to her now clearly supercharged muscles. Dropping the equipment with a huge crash, she walked toward the front of the building. Putting her hands on her hips, Angela strode straight through three glass walls and the counter. Angela Murphy no longer needed doors. Deliberately avoiding the glass panes of the gym's shopfront windows, she used her breasts as battering rams to casually tear through the heavy masonry. At least a hundred guns were instantly trained on her.
Angela realised that despite the meddlesome girl, all the firepower, and their vastly superior numbers, the coming fight was going to be a total white wash. She was at least ten times stronger than all of them combined, and if bullets couldn't really hurt her before, they would be completely useless against her now.
"Kneel before me!" she commanded. "Kneel before me and I will spare your lives."
Part of her really did want them to fall at her feet. But a larger part of her wanted them to resist.

Cops are hardened people. They go through intense training for nearly a year, then spend the rest of there career seeingsometimes the worst of humanity-its not as bad as one may think-stats suggests that most cops never actually firet here guns in 20 years, and many never see a dead body-but the raw humanity. .
National Gaurdsmen are the same. Many of them where veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan war. They had seen combat, and destruction and terror, and had gone out the other end.
Both groups had that great equalizer, that great little protection of there hand. The things that give men power, the things that make men brave. Guns. Lots of guns. At this point hundreds of guns power to destroy anything.
But for a minute- a long minute, nothing happened. Nothing. They just watched the by now goddess like woman walk out. All traces of her ages, almost all of her former humanity where gone. She was just fearesome perfection. She was Terrific. She inspired terror.
and they just watched her talk. to offer to spare there lives and listened.
Until one man in the back took out his gun and tried to shoot her.
then most of the rest found the courage to join him.
most of them.
Rae in the back leaned down on the ground and hid.

"Is that all you've got? she asked, though no one could really hear her. "Let me show you what I've got."
She reached out with both hands and released dazzling blasts of green energy that surprised and terrified her attackers. In moments the area was reduced to a charred ruin, and all the guns were silenced. Angela was actually a little disappointed with how easy it was.
As she smiled upon her deadly work a National Guardsman popped up from behind a vehicle and resumed shooting. Angela walked toward the vehicle he hid behind, and placed her hand on the cold metal. With a quick push she sent the car sliding violently across the street, taking the doomed guardsman with it. It hit the gutter on the opposite of the road, flipped and hit the building beyond about three metres in the air.
Angela glowed with pride as she kicked an empty army truck and watched it fly away,breaking apart from the incredible force she so easily brought to bear. She was ready for the meddlesome brat now.

No mater how loud the noise may have been, how much they had fought and died, after less 20 seconds of death and destricution it was over. The kind of quiet that one doesn't usually hear.
Rae heard it.
She was hidding.
Hididng like a coward, hididng like a fool.
her super powers let her hide underneat the bottom of a police car. Her super powers let her control to a degree her breath, her heartbeat, let it calm it to make as little noise as possible.
Except the little voice inside her head calling herself a coward, calling her a fool.
It was smart. This Angela woman clearly was to powerful for her at this point-a humbling sensation.
But well... if she knew Angela-and she somehow felt as if she knew her her whole life now- she would get distracted by some other juicy morsel and walk away-maybe if she was lucky she thought she would have died in the blast. Maybe.
And then......well...and then.

Seeing no sign of the girl now, Angela considered her next move. She went back into the gym and picked out new clothes. As she admired herself in the mirror her plan formed. She was so much stronger already than she anticipated, and she had often pondered what she would do if she ever had power to enforce her will on others. A smile formed on her lips as she realised she could have whatever she wanted now, and she wanted control. And now nobody could stop her from seizing it.
Angela started to walk toward City Hall. After a few blocks she began to come across people, and their reactions to her large imposing frame pleased her. As strong as her body looked, she knew it was much stronger. She flagged down a passing taxi and got in.
"City Hall," she commanded imperiously.
"Sure, lady. Hey...did you hear? There's been some sort of terrorist attack just a few blocks from here."
As they drove the cabby offered his theories. "What's the world coming to? These poeple must be real physcos. I mean...what does it get killing so many people?" The cab pulled up at the front of City Hall. "That'll be thirteen-ninety," he informed her. He held out his open hand, and Angela took it and he almost instantly slumped into his seat. She hardly felt the benefit, but it was the most effective way to deal with him.
Angela got out of the cab and strode toward the main doors. Security guards appeared from everywhere, her descirption having been put out to law enforcers all over the city.
"Hold it right there! You're under arrest!"
"I don't have time for this."
Angela reached behind her and grabbed the taxi in a metal crunching hold. Her new strength still giving her that new-car thrill, she tossed the vehicle at the biggest group and watched them scatter as she strode slowly toward the building. An alarm sounded from inside, and Angela grinned. It wouldn't be long now before City Hall was surrounded with far more than the had pulled together at the gym. And none of it was going to do them any good...she was too powerful now to be stopped by conventional weapons, and she knew it. She would soon enforce her rule over the entire city, and there was nothing standing in her way that she could crush or feed upon.

she picked up a six pack, opened one.
the owner had ran away in the melle. no one was there. She looked at her spandex costume. Hey she didn't have any place for money.
she opened a beer and started to drink sitting there.
What did it fucking matter?
The world looked fucking doomed. it was all gone nothing could defeat her. Nothing. Certainly not the star. What a pathetic name. What a pathetic joke. Some hero she was.
She started to cry.
Some hero.
how long did she have-days, weeks, hours. this was lovecraftian logormthic. whould she like take over the world or just drain it of all its power. whould it be be a bang or a whimper.
And that was osmehting that got her. That was something that stuck. All of the loss of life. All of the death, the destruction, the chaos..the pain. all of it. all of it she could have stoped. Which meant all of it was her fault.
She got up. It was hopeless now. tterly hopeless.
When she looked down and felt something.
It was the 20 dollar tip earlier. for some reason it was stuck in her waist band.
She walked ot the counter and put it on the table. Well something had to be left or nothing was.
When she heard the familiar ring of the bell telling a customer was coming inside.

The security doors had sealed, but rather than offering an obstacle they only offered Angela another chance to revel in her superhuman strength. The glass outer door shattered, bulletproof yet hardly immune to the pressure she easily brought to bear. The polished steel-link security shuttered were ripped apart by chest as she strode straight through into the lobby. People were running about everywhere. Those foolish enough to come within reach were consumed by the merciless intruder, but there was only one person here she really wanted to get her hands on.
Turning into the hall where banks of elevators ran along either wall she chose one of the turbo lifts, specifically the one that would take her to the mayor's office. It was locked down. She needed a passcard.
Angela would have to take the stairs. The security door, designed to be opened easily from the inside in case of fire but not so much from outside, shattered as she delivered a poorly thrown punch. Such a lengthy journey up so many stairs would have daunted her before...but not now. She started running up the inside of the building, taking three or four steps with each effortlessly powerful stride. A few guards popped out to shoot, and she ploughed through them without slowing, her powerful muscles hardly registering either the efforts of flinging them aside or the impacts of their wasted ammunition.
Reaching her desired floor, Angela placed a hand on the door and shoved it forcefully off its hinges. Stepping into a barrage of machine gun fire, Angela laughed and allowed them to strip the cloth from her hard body. Clothes were going to be an issue, she mused, enjoying their expressions as they realised the truth of the scene before them. This woman was completely immune to their gunfire. They were powerless to stop her.
Angela gloated, unconcerned by her nakedness. "Kneel before me, and I will spare your lives!"
Some did, but most kept tring to kill her. With a shrug she rushed forward and lifted two of them from the ground so easily that one dropped his weapon in shock.
"Have it your way," she told them, slamming them together with terrifying force before dropping them and reaching for more.

"Hey" she said "The store open"
"No" said rae " i am just having a pitty fucking party. Its the end of the world. go home and kiss your ass good bye"
"Neat costume" Said the woman.
Rae looked down. she barely realized that yes she was wearing a superhero costume./ The red outfit looked silly. Now. Now.
"I am the beer fairy. Want a beer" said rae offering one from her pack.
"Natty Light" said the woman "ehh you could do better if your superpower is you give beer to people"
"When the worlds about to end, the mind goes to places" said rae.
"its that bad" said the woman.
Rae weekly smiled.
The woman walked toward the counter.
"Thats twelve bucks a six pack". She reached into her pocket and pulled out a 10 and two ones. "Here we are..."
she paused.
"No wait lets throw in a buck for sales tax"
Rae looked at the woman curiously "What are you doing"
The woman took the 20 and handed it back to Rae "This. This is for you. Take your money back. I'll buy, you great hero"
"I am not a great hero" said Rae "Not at all. I am barely competent"
"You defeat the Hydra "Said the woman "Save the city"
Rae chuckled "I am not going to defeat her. Shes to powerful"
"Oh not her" said the woman " Murphy. no you don't defeat her"

The Animal Cafe VS Little Zoo Cafe
- Most reviews online are about Little Zoo Cafe. I wanted to give my readers an alternative, instead of blindly following the crowd
- I figured it's probably over populated and I'll have minimal time spent with the exotic animals (based on my own judgement)
- No entry fee, minimum order allowed for desserts and drinks, instead of main dish as required by Little Zoo (Total bill's slightly below $30 for 2 pax)
- No restricted timing to visit the animals, the staff lets them out to play on alternate basis
- Within my itinerary, quite centralised and not out of the way
- Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Little Zoo's great too! Unfortunately, due to our tight schedule on this trip, we had to only pick one. Hence, The Animal cafe
Apparently, foods at animal cafes are usually not highly raved about.
So I was glad that we went for desserts instead, because they turned out surprisingly good!
The strawberry crepe was fluffy and the brownie's so chocolatey and soft, a perfect match with the vanilla ice cream on top.
Before entering the playroom, you'll be warmly welcomed by these docile kitties roaming around the cafeteria to keep you company.
Honestly? I'm not entirely a huge fan of feline because I've got this fear of them reaching out with their claws and leaving me with scratch marks and scars.
But these babies are just so sweet and tamed, I could hang with them all day:
Can't get enough of this goofy face:
Then there's this weird looking dragon-like fish, which kinda stole my attention for awhile:
Now, brace yourself for the upcoming fluffiness:
It didn't take much of a wait before it was our turn to step into the playroom and get up close with these mischievous African Wild Cats, the "Serval":
Resembling a mini cheetah, they are very playful and fractious.
Don't even think about controlling them! They are the dominating ones who will play by their own rules.
So just "socialise" and get slightly comfortable in their presence before snapping a photo.
Caution: They are felines, so they will jump around and scratch at shiny or dangling things. You can use that to your advantage to distract them for pictures, but just be careful not to get them too near to your face.
Each room only houses 5-8 guests, so that there's enough space for both the humans and animals to interact freely. They mostly leave it to customers to take turns and trust that you're considerate enough to not hog the place for too long.
In this next room, you'll get acquainted with the "sneaky" bunch!
Racoon and fennec fox:
As they take turns to be out from the cages; to prevent any fights, I entered the room when their meek tiny fox was out to play!
Much like a little puppy, she got tired after tossing around and playing catch with her treat:
(side note: absolutely in love with my lashes by Browtisan!)
At level one, you can even throw on the robes and immerse into the scene of Harry Potter's with these adorable owls:
This one here looks so dorky, I feel like hiding him in my pocket:
The Animal Cafe opens everyday from 11am to 10pm.
They really give you ample time with the animals in this conducive and relaxed environment.
Address: Sathu Pradit 19 Alley, Khwaeng Chong Nonsi, Khet Yan Nawa, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10120, Thailand.
Since we are only in Bangkok for 3 days 2 nights, time is precious and we didn't want to waste it trying to manoeuvre around with the train. Thankfully there's "Grab", which is really inexpensive and did away with all the hassle of haggling with cab drivers and struggling to guide them to these remote areas.
Here's a tip for you: Thailand Grab Promo Code (you can use the code from their local site to save a few bucks along the way)

A spokesman for the ministry of electricity has reported that plans are being considered to move the national grid underground, in order to prevent citizens illegally taking power supplies directly from overhead distribution lines.
Musab al-Mudarres told AKnews that the practice of taking electricity directly from local power lines is widespread across Iraqi, and the ministry does not have the power or resources to prevent them.
"Underground networks have proved successful in some areas of Baghdad such as Zayouna and Yarmouk where they have replaced the overhead power lines," Mudarres said, adding that similar projects have been set up in Sadr City and Adhamiya.
Last July the Iraqi government launched a campaign in the capital to put an end to the public theft of national power supplies in response to public protests over limited hours of domestic provision.
According to government figures, the energy available to Iraq is around 9 thousand megawatts of energy, while demand is estimated at up to 14 thousand megawatts during the summer months.
The Iraqi government has announced plans to increase the country's generative capacity to 27,000 megawatts over the next four years, requiring an investment of between $3bn and $4bn per year.
The majority of households across the Iraqi provinces have between six and eight hours of national electricity each day.
This poor provision of electricity has been one of the main grievances of protestors in the wave of public demonstrations that have swept through Iraq over the past month.

I was asked some questions about my new book 'Dirty Secrets: How tax havens destroy the economy' yesterday. This is part of the reply I gave:
You have launched a New book, called "Dirty Secrets: How Tax Havens Destroy the Economy". What issues do you explore in this book that deepens the debate around tax evasion and tax havens?
We have spent a long time worrying about corruption, tax evasion and tax avoidance, all of which have strong links to tax havens. But I am worried that their secrecy is doing three other things. They are destroying fair competition and large companies and tax cheats are winning as a result. Next they are concentrating wealth in ever fewer people's hands and so are increasing inequality around the world. And as a result, thirdly, people are losing faith in the mixed economies that have in most countries underpinned growth for the last seventy years. To be blunt, tax havens are destroying the legitimacy of capitalism.
A recent review says the book describes the alliance of the wealthy, their advisers and the state. In regards to this last actor, how are different states complicit?
Many tax haven states are complicit in this abuse. Their government's are so dominated by the interests of the financial services industry that they do whatever is demanded by them. But let's be honest, so too is the government of my country, the U.K. Their supposed belief in 'free markets' apparently requires that we keep a whole host of tax havens under British control and yet thosecsame tax havens are destroying our tax system and imposing austerity on most people in this country, who are suffering as a result. This is not about free markets. It is about government's exploiting people.
What about the negative effects of tax evasion on development and the economy?
Tax evasion is incredibly harmful to any country. Tax cheats force honest business to go bust. But it is only honest businesses who invest in new products, services, technology, R&D and, perhaps most important of all, in training for their staff. So growth is reduced by all tax evasion. In developing countries the problem may be even worse because weaker regulation tends to make it easier for funds to flow to tax havens. Some admittedly then comes back in disguise, often to claim beneficial tax arrangements, but much remains outside the country, which also severely reduces investment and so growth prospects.
Can you tell us about the effect tax evasion has on democracy and how would you say that tax evasion undermines Human Rights? Do you think this discussion has advanced?
I believe tax havens and the abuse associated with tax evasion both undermine democracy. Tax havens are used to deliberately undermine the tax laws of other, usually larger and usually democratic, countries. The result is governments cannot deliver on the promises they have made to their electorates and so confidence in democracy is undermined. Tax evasion achieves the same result in a different way. It undermines the rule of law and so faith in democratic governments. The outcome is the same.
What is lacking, in the international scenario, for the problem of tax havens to end?
We know how to close tax havens. Shattering secrecy will do most of it because all cheats require secrecy to get away with their abuse. So why doesn't it happen? Simply because too many people too close to too many governments must be profiting too much from this abuse to have the political will to stop it. We need courageous politicians to change that.

Transforming communities in Manchester and Glasgow: ethical values in social entrepreneurship
Manchester Metropolitan University's Cheshire Campus, Crewe, hosts 'inspirational' TIGERoadshow, attended by social entrepreneurs, small business owners, students and academics
The TIGERoadshow, on the theme of Trust and Integrity in the Global Economy, aims to tap into a new global consciousness about the social role of business and entrepreneurship. The event, held on 20 May, provided this through experienced and inspiring guest presenters.
Professor Janet Haddock-Fraser (right), Provost of Manchester Metropolitan Cheshire campus and Professor of Sustainability and Management, welcomed the participants with an introduction to the university and the relevance for Manchester Metropolitan in holding the conference. This was particularly so thanks to its strong social engagement and the university's impeccable 'green policy'. Manchester Met is ranked third in the People and Planet University Green League 2015.
Ian Monteague (left), the opening speaker, chairs the grassroots voluntary Glasgow charity FARE (Family Action in Rogerfield and Easterhouse). Having grown up in one of Glasgow's poorest areas surrounded by a 'lack of hope and vision', he is now the epitome of an inspirational success story. During his animated and passionate speech, Ian explained how Social Enterprise is often misunderstood: 'It isn't someone at a youth centre selling hats.' Rather, social entrepreneurship is worth millions of pounds, helps economic progress and ultimately brings back dignity to deprived areas through jobs.
Digging deeper into the issue, Ian argued that data drove everything in business although this is not the root of the problem. Instead, it is the behaviour of businesses that needs changing. 'We, on the frontline, know from experience the problems that all economic groups face, but the top businesses make decisions on what they know about the top four per cent of wealthiest people in the world.' The Q&A session with Ian threw up an interesting and lively debate, with one particular question standing out from the rest: 'Are we just dancing around the big circles of power?'
Greg Davies (right), founder of Community Wealth Creation, a community enterprise in Manchester's Whythenshawe Estate, told how at the height of the rave culture in the 1980s, he had started a security business supplying door security to some of the toughest venues in the UK. Following a number of attempts on his life, Greg turned his interests to inner city street culture and created the UK's first inner city cultural centre. Its main aim is to bottle gang culture's energy and creativity and use it in a positive, more effective way. He explained: 'When hope begins to be damaged, that's when we have a problem in estates.'
Leadership was a recurring theme during Greg's speech. 'Many of the teenagers in inner city areas are looking for some direction and leadership,' he said. 'Often in these areas, criminals are the natural leaders and this is what needs to change.' He explained in depth what he was up against, stating that the media was a big problem with their negative portrayal only deepening problems. 'We did not label ourselves as deprived; politics and the media did and then the community grew within that image.' In a bid to combat these problems, Greg selected 17 working class leaders to manage the centre as well as become community leaders. They opened communication lines with all gangs and kids, thus moving from gang culture to social enterprise.
Journalist and business author Mike Smith explained the rationale behind his 'five pillars of trust: Sustainability, Cooperation, Integrity, Purpose and Stewardship (SCIPS)' taken from his recent book Great Company. Mike, who is Head of Initiative of Change (IofC) UK's Business Programme, has worked with IofC since he was 19, including three and a half years in India. 'We are all on the front line of the global economy,' he said. It affected all of our lives, from the food we eat, the transport we use, the air we breathe—and the plastic we throw away. He outlined a new growing consciousness, 'the social and ecological contribution of business towards human wellbeing, a sustainable planet and the common good.'
Concluding feedback comments focused on leadership, how to encourage new entrepreneurs and how to move towards 'ethical entrepreneurship'. 'TIGERoadshows are thought-provoking events,' says Nathalie Ormrod (left), Senior Lecturer in Marketing and Business Ethics, who was the Manchester Met event coordinator with Initiatives of Change. 'Social and ethical entrepreneurship needs to be embedded in contemporary business programmes in order to sustain tomorrow's businesses with leaders respectful of their stakeholders, communities and environments. It was a pleasure, if not a duty as a business lecturer, to bring this inspirational conference to the campus.'
by Thomas Bradshaw

Axl Explains Live Earth Absence
I was asked to perform individually with Lenny Kravitz by the promoters and Mr. Gore. As we were working this out, Lenny unfortunately became injured and temporarily canceled his involvement from the event. According to the promoters, by the time they had reconfirmed Lenny's performance, there wasn't enough time to arrange flights for myself to Brazil and then to Japan for our upcoming shows. Unfortunately, I was not informed that Lenny's performance was reconfirmed until our own explorations and in following the media surrounding the event today, which is Saturday morning here in Australia and Friday in Brazil.
Guns N' Roses or I were not asked to play anywhere else such as Japan or Australia (as we are already in the regions on tour) and in which we have formally offered to perform but the offer of our involvement was declined.
We wish all involved, the performers, the organizers, the fans and audiences around the world all the best and a very successful event.
Thank you,
Axl Rose

10+ Best Apps for Your Dropbox
If you've been using Dropbox for a while, you may not have noticed that a whole ecosystem of applications have been built up to use the service. Over time, these apps have sprung up to fill all of the little holes Dropbox left unfilled. There are apps now for just about everything.
It's possible to sync Google Docs to Dropbox, automatically send Gmail attachments to Dropbox, play music in a browser from your Dropbox music files, encrypt your Dropbox, easily host a website or blog in Dropbox, collect URLs and web clippings to Dropbox and to automate file syncs between all of your social networks and Dropbox. You can even view all of your Dropbox files alongside your Google Docs, Box files and FTP files in the one web interface. If you want to know the best apps to do all of these things, then read on.
1. Let People Drop Stuff In Your Dropbox
DropItToMe is a service which allows you to set up a URL specifically for your friends and clients to use for uploading things to your Dropbox. You can set a password which allows them uploading access via the URL.
JotForm lets you create an online form for people to fill out, which then gets saved to your Dropbox. The JotForm forms can be hosted anywhere and you don't need to know much about web design to use the service.
2. Connect Dropbox With Other Cloud Documents
Many people use services like InSync to perform a Dropbox-like sync for Google Docs to their home computer. But most don't realise how easy it is to sync those files back to your Dropbox. All you have to do is change the local folder for InSync Sync Your Google Docs To Multiple Machines With Insync Read More to be your Dropbox folder.
Another great tool is Otixo, which allows you to use one web interface to access all of your cloud documents, such as Dropbox, Box, Google Docs and FTP servers. We've written an article about Otixo before Otixo: Access All Of Your Cloud Accounts & Files From One Place One of the biggest problems of using cloud servers to save your files is that you have to manage them one by one. If you have ten different cloud accounts, you have to log into... Read More if you want to know more.
3. Add URLs to Dropbox
There is one neat little app called URL Droplet which allows you to save a URL to your Dropbox for later. It could be useful for saving all those links you don't have time to view at work.
4. Email Attachments To Dropbox
To get email attachments into Dropbox easily, there are two really good methods. One is to set up SendToDropbox and get a unique email address for your Dropbox which you can forward emails to if you want the attachment saved.
5. Encrypt Your Dropbox
Those of us who are using the cloud heavily realise the importance of encrypting that information, as a security breach could otherwise be a disaster. There are several great tools to encrypt your Dropbox, such as BoxCryptor, DataLocker and SafeBox. MakeUseOf has a great article on how to use BoxCryptor here Encrypt Your Dropbox Files With BoxCryptor Dropbox is a great service, but its security track record is nothing to be proud of. We've previously written about encrypted alternatives to Dropbox, but let's be honest -- Dropbox stands out among cloud storage... Read More .
6. Edit Files From Within Dropbox
There are many reasons you might want to edit a document from within Dropbox. Using an app like TextDropApp Edit Text Files In Your Dropbox From Your Browser With TextDropApp Edit any text file in your Dropbox from your browser. It's easy to with TextDropApp, a web-based text editor that uses Dropbox for storage. Whether you want to edit text documents from Chrome OS or...

One question many people ask is whether or not their personal relationship with sex is an indication of sex addiction. Varying levels of sexual compulsion and hypersexuality exist but may not indicate the development of a fully diagnosable problem. It is possible to relate to sex in a dysfunctional way and have unhealthy relationships because of sexual behavior. However, there are specific criteria for sex addiction with which most people cannot relate
Addiction is mostly defined as a lack of control. Once the substance or process has become so great, there is a lack of control, or a loss in the ability to maintain control. Obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors can start to feel involuntary. Many measure might be taken to regain control, such as setting limitations, making deals, or cutting off credit cards. When sex addiction becomes an addiction these efforts will fall short of success.
- You do not feel as though you have any control over your sexual behaviors
- You cannot control your thoughts about sex, sexual behaviors, or engaging in sexual behaviors
- Despite setting personal limitations on sexual activity, you cannot control the circumstances of your sexual activity
- As the result of your inability to control your sexual behaviors you have encountered negative consequences in other areas of your life such as your relationships your work, or your finances
- You struggle to sleep through the night due to obsessive thinking about sex and sexual activity
The last sign of sex addiction is an effect on health. It is important to not that not every experience of sex addiction will include negative consequences in regards to health. Research has shown that excessive sexual activity can reduce libido or cause physical sexual dysfunction. Substance abuse is often concurrent with sex addiction in order to cope with the shame of sex addiction, stay awake for long hours of the night, or lower inhibitions. Drug and alcohol abuse can have a wide range of physical effects. When combined with the typically heart-racing adrenaline of engaging in a compulsive activity, heart attack or heart failure could result.
If sex addiction is having a negative effect on your personal life or your health, it is time to seek help.

3D Printing Technologies for Spare Parts
3D printing isn't only changing the way we make products, but also our ability to maintain and service equipment and machinery through the supply of 3D printed spare parts.
The continued reduction in the cost and the technological advancements of the printing machines and the printing material makes 3D printing a viable option for replacement spare parts, especially when the replacement part has become obsolete or where the search costs are so high as to make the economies of repairing a machine unviable. The cost-effective printing of spare parts allows owners and operators of ageing machinery to further increase its serviceability. The availability of parts no longer becomes a determining factor of the life of a machine, reducing the need for replacement and reducing the associated environmental costs. Being able to continue to repair equipment is a fundamental principle of the Ecological 6R's and a contributing factor to achieving a circular economy.
What is 3D Printing?
3D printing is the common term used for Additive Manufacturing. Using the power of 3D modeling programs, objects can be broken down into computerized "slices" depicting layers in a 3D model. Through a variety of methods, the printers build one layer at a time until an object is complete. It allows for reductions in production waste and to produce small, or single, production units. This makes it ideal for custom manufacturing and for the creation of a spare part or assembly. Its appeal for those looking for replacement parts is broad due to the different types of 3D printing available and the large variety of materials and inherent characteristics of each.
Types of 3D Printing
3D printing is not a single technology. Instead, it is a collective of different Additive Manufacturing methods. Through the selection of the right method and material a consumer can produce exactly the part they need. And often, these parts can equal or surpass OEM parts in performance.
• Fused Filament Fabrication: Fused filament fabrication (FFF), also called Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), is a form of plastic extrusion that is deposited layer by layer to form a part. FFF is one of the most common types of 3D printing available today and the type most likely to be used by home users and makers.
ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) PLA (Polylactic acid) and composite filaments are all materials used in FFF. The exact choice depends on the finish and characteristics required of the finished part.
• Stereolithography (SLA) and Digital Light Processing (DLP): SLA and DLP are both in the family of 3D processes called vat polymerization. In each process a laser is projected into a vat of photosensitive resin which solidifies each layer. The laser in SLA hardens each layer as it moves along the pattern, in DLP, the laser projects and hardens the entire layer at once. The processes are similar but do vary in speed and resolution with SLA creating prints of higher resolution than DLP. SLA can best be used for printing many small parts at once as well as large prints whereas DLP is better for printing large parts that do not require as much detail.
Resins can be used for parts requiring higher heat resistant characteristics and a wide variety of flexibility. SLA also provides a more "finished" look with much higher resolution than FFF.
• Selective Laser Sintering (SLS): SLS is in the family of powder bed fusion where a laser is directed to a bed of powder and material is fused layer by layer. After each fusion, a thin layer of powder is added, and the process repeats for the next "slice" of the pattern until the pattern is complete.
SLS can be used for small production runs, larger functional parts and prototypes. Its resolution is not as detailed as FFF and is far less detailed than SLA. Layer adhesion is superior but there is some shrinkage depending on material used.
The most common material used in SLS is Polyamide 12 (Nylon 12). This material can also be mixed with carbon, glass fibers or with aluminum to produce spare parts with improved mechanical and thermal behavior.
• Material Jetting and Drop on Demand: Material Jetting (MJ) and Drop on Demand (DOD) both use a photopolymer that is dispensed through ink jets onto a surface. MJ continually dispenses the material, with DOD the material is dropped as needed onto the surface. In both types as each layer is produced, an ultraviolet light is passed over the layer to harden the material. Polymers can range from rigid to flexible and can also offer different temperature tolerances and come in a wide variety of colors and allow for the build of complex geometries. They are used for high resolution color models, dentistry applications and low run injection molds.
• Sand Binder Jetting and Metal Binder Jetting: Sand Binder Jetting (SBS) and Metal Binder Jetting (MBJ) are both types of binder jetting and use a glue-like binder applied to a material bed holding either sand or metal. The glue holds the layers together and parts do not require support material. The produced parts are not as mechanically strong as parts produced by other methods but have advantages that can be of value in the production of spare parts. They can be used to create casting patterns for automotive or engine parts, they can be produced in full color and used for form and fit testing. The process is quick and by layering parts within the material bed many parts can be produced at once.
For Sand Binder, materials include full color sandstone and silica sand. For Metal Binder materials include stainless steel, stainless steel with bronze, Inconel alloy and tungsten carbide.
• Selective Laser Melting, Direct Metal Laser Sintering and Electron Beam Melting: These are all forms of metal printing and are the metal family of powder bed fusion.
Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) uses metal powder that is melted just enough to fuse the material together. Selective Laser Melting (SLM) focusses a laser onto a layer of metal, completely melting the metal to form the layer and not merely fused. And in Electron Beam Melting (EBM), metal powder is subjected to an electron beam and again completely melted to form the layer. The choice of method is determined by the type of part being produced and its required strength and heat characteristics. 3D printed metal parts are used in the automotive, aeronautics, and medical industries and could be used in auto restorations, appliances, farming etc.
Materials for metal printing range from aluminum in automotive and aeronautical applications, stainless steel for food grade parts, and even titanium.

City Manager Appoints Captain as New Chief of Police
The City of Novato is excited to announce Captain Matt McCaffrey has been appointed as the newest Police Chief of the Novato Police Department. Chief McCaffrey has been with the Novato Police Department since 2015 and has overseen both the Operations and Administrative Divisions, but most recently was the acting Chief of Police for the past several months. Chief McCaffrey will oversee a department made up of sixty-one sworn and twenty-five professional staff.
"I've always felt fortunate that I was able to find a place like Novato where the community appreciates the men and women who make protecting their community a priority," said Chief McCaffrey. "I was impressed with our staff from my first day here and continue to be impressed with their dedication and commitment in providing police services to the Novato Community. I look forward to continuing to work with all City staff to provide excellent service to our community and making Novato a great place to live, work and play in."
Chief McCaffrey is a thirty-seven year law enforcement veteran who worked thirty years for the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office and two and a half years for the Sonoma County Junior College District, before coming to Novato in 2015. Matt holds a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice Management from the Union Institute and University, and is a graduate of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's National Academy. He also holds a Management and Executive Certificate from the State of California's Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training.
"There was no doubt in my mind that Matt was the right person for the job, his experience and proven record in sound decision making made Matt an obvious choice," said City Manager Adam McGill. "I know he will continue moving the department in the right direction and provide the same leadership that he has at the captain rank. Not only did I get to see that firsthand during my time as the Chief of Police, but during the transition period during the past few months, I have seen Matt step into the role of Chief of Police without missing a beat."
Matt will assume his new role on November 25, 2019 and will receive an annual base salary of $209,999. He lives in Santa Rosa with his wife Khristine where they each have three children from a prior marriage.

Adam Gase's successful PI challenge shows how new rule will work
The new NFL rule which allows coaches to challenge a pass interference call or non-call is guaranteed to create confusion and controversy this season, but the New York Jets demonstrated a case where a successful challenge of a non-call will work.
It happened during the third quarter of a preseason game between the Jets and New York Giants. Jets quarterback Davis Webb threw an incomplete pass intended for Tim White, but replays showed that Giants cornerback Corey Ballentine clearly was holding on to White's left hand while the ball was in the air.
The call was challenged by Jets head coach Adam Gase, and it was successful, giving the Jets 33 yards on the third-down play.
The league tweeted out that, "The defender significantly hinders the receiver's opportunity to catch the ball. The ruling on the field is changed because there is clear and obvious visual evidence of defensive pass interference":

— SNF on NBC (@SNFonNBC) August 2, 2019
The rule comes after the now infamous non-call in last season's NFC Championship Game between the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams when pass interference was not called on the Rams' Nickell Robey-Coleman despite clear contact.
One way or another, like most video review decisions, there will be plenty of controversy this season as a result of these replays. But at least Gase demonstrated on Thursday a scenario in which a blatant missed call can be corrected thanks to this new rule.

Sun, Aug 12 2018 - Pre-dawn Peak of Perseid Meteor Shower + Hike & Sunrise at Mason Mill Park (View Original Event Details)
We AOC "early bird" skygazer-hikers were treated to several bright Perseid meteors this morning and also had nice views of the stars and a passing satellite. Herm brought his compact telescope and wowed the group with views of the Pleiades, the Great Orion Nebula, Betelgeuse and other amazing deep-sky objects. We relaxed together on yoga mats, etc. on the PATH Trail's high Mason Mill deck for about an hour, marveling at the wonders of the night sky and feeling fortunate to have ideal weather for the outing. During the 2nd hour we hiked in the morning twilight to Medlock Park and back, concluding the "double header" event just after a colorful ~7AM sunrise. Five of us then explored the almost-finished new PATH connecting trail and high boardwalk that connect Mason Mill Park and Lullwater Park. Guided by Emory-area resident Mary Reed, we enjoyed this extra 45 minutes of brisk hiking all the way around Candler Lake and back. -Submitted by Charlie, 3AM Mon Aug 13th
P.S. A few minutes ago I walked out onto my front lawn, glanced upward, and immediately saw a bright Perseid streaking across the sky. I now feel redeemed after "striking out personally" during our group's meteor sightings at Mason Mill yesterday morning!
