Flax Seeds
Gum Tragacanth
The roots of the leguminous plant Glycyrrhiza glabra yield a sweet sap that is one of the sweetest naturally occurring substances. It is 30 to 50 times sweeter than sucrose. The extracted sap in a liquid or solid form is what is commonly known as licorice, a name that comes from Old French licoresse which is, in turn, from the Greek glukurrhiza, meaning "sweet root."
Licorice extract is produced by boiling licorice root and subsequently evaporating most of the water. Licorice extract is traded as a paste, block or spray-dried powder.
The tobacco industry is the main user of licorice extract. Licorice root is used as a sweetener in candies and beverages and the pharmaceutical industry also uses licorice from Glycyrrhiza uralensis.
Ninety-five percent of the world's saffron comes from Iran. It has traditionally been grown in Khorasan, an area (about the size of England) in the north-east of Iran with ideal soil and climate conditions for the crop. Saffron is a valuable spice with origins in Zagros Mountains area in "Mede" era. Saffron which takes a lot of labor to produce, is actually a very small part of the plant Crocus Sativus Lineas and everything about it is really interesting.
Every day during the one-month harvest season that starts around mid-October more than four hundred thousand people in southern Khorasan get up before dawn to go to the fields and pick the beautiful delicate lilac flowers that have bloomed overnight. They must be picked before being exposed to too much sunshine. The flowers are then carried in wicker baskets to the processing areas where the stigmas are patiently removed by hand.
The next step is to gently toast the stigmas in order to dry them before they are tested, sorted, packed and sealed, insuring that the full, unique and exquisite flavor, aroma and color of this "vegetable gold" reaches the consumer.
Damask Rose:
Rosa damascene is known as Gole Mohammadi, is one of the most important species of Rosaceae family flowers. Damask rose has long been used for rose oil or "attar of roses", and is commonly used to flavor food and make rose water. Beside perfuming effect, several pharmacological properties including anti-HIV, antibacterial, antioxidant, antitussive, hypnotic, anti-diabetic, and relaxant effect on tracheal chains have been reported for this plant. Also it is used in cosmetic products and making syrup.
Safflower :
Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) is a highly branched, herbaceous, thistle-like annual plant. It is commercially cultivated for vegetable oil extracted from the seeds. Plants are 30 to 150 cm (12 to 59 in) tall with globular flower heads having yellow, orange, or red flowers. In manufacturing, safflower flower is used to color cosmetics and dye fabrics. Safflower seed oil is used as a paint solvent.
Safflower oil comes from the safflower plant, which is part of the sunflower family. Safflower oil is colorless and odorless. It is used in cooking, salad dressings, paint, cosmetics, medicines and commercial products. It can also be taken as a nutritional supplement.
Safflower oil has many benefits. It helps remove excess fat in the body, reduce cholesterol levels in the blood, strengthen your immune system, regulate your menstrual cycle, and promote hair growth and healthy skin. Safflower oil can also help with diabetes because it removes excess body fat and lowers blood sugar levels.
Malva Flowers ( Zataria) :
Mallow(Zatari) is a plant. People use the flower and leaf to make medicine.
It is an edible plant that has been used for medicinal care as well as food. The fruits are round and have cheese-like wedges which give the common mallow its nickname, cheese plant. The leaves are dark green, and the flowers are pink with purple darker veins (the flowers of Mauritanian mallow are deep purple). The flowers are 2 to 5 cm wide and the petals are three to four times longer than the cup. The fruit is ring-shaped and splits into numerous small seed.Mallow is used for irritation of the mouth and throat, dry cough, and bronchitis. It is also used for stomach and bladder complaints.
To treat wounds, some people put mallow in a warm moist dressing (poultice) and apply it directly to the skin, or add it to bath water. It reduced fever, relieved nearly all pains and healed insect stings and wounds. Mallow leaf was used to induce childbirth and act as an indicator for a woman's fertility.
In foods, mallow is used as a coloring agent.
Thyme is an aromatic perennial evergreen herb with culinary, medicinal, and ornamental uses. The flowers, leaves, and oil are used as medicine. Thyme is sometimes used in combination with other herbs.
Fresh or dried, thyme leaves and flowers lend a sprightly essence to flavoring casseroles, soups, stews, and sautéed vegetables. Chopped fresh or dried and combined with parsley and bay leaves, thyme is included in the French combination of herbs called bouquet garni, used to season stock, stews, and soups. Eggs, meats, fish, and bean dishes are all enhanced with a sprinkling of thyme.
Thyme is thought to have antifungal, antibacterial, insecticidal, and possibly antifungal properties.
Thyme is taken by mouth for bronchitis, whooping cough, sore throat, colic, arthritis, upset stomach, stomach pain (gastritis), diarrhea, bedwetting, a movement disorder in children (dyspraxia), intestinal gas (flatulence), parasitic worm infections, and skin disorders. It is also used to increase urine flow (as a diuretic), to disinfect the urine, and as an appetite stimulant.
Tarragon is a culinary herb from the sunflower family that has an aromatic quality of anise. It's widely used for flavoring, fragrance and medicinal purposes. Tarragon is a spring and summer herb.

This Artist's Courage and Daring Gives Perspective on How We Can Trust and Connect
In her Ted Talk, performance artist Marina Abramovic describes some extreme—and shocking—measures she's taken to feel trust, vulnerability, and connection with others. She asks the audience to stare in someone's eyes for two minutes, and shows us how intense this simple but difficult experience can be. We can establish connections like this in our own day-to-day life if we take the time to look, listen and trust.

Over the last several days I have detailed different types of corporate video productions that came out of one video initially envisioned by a CRM client to provide a "who we are" introduction from video captured at an annual customer event. We found that the extensiveness and nature of attendees provided material for three additional videos: a 'core values" video, an employee video expressing enthusiasm about the nature of the work, and a testimonial video.
Now I am moving to videos we have created for nonprofits in the last few weeks, each of which presented unique challenges. The video I will address today was produced for a national organization. One of their members had ensured the realization of a mission abroad for which sparse video was shot, much of it not useable. The outcome of the trip was extremely positive on many levels, and the organization wanted to highlight its success at their annual fundraising gala in a film of three minutes or less. To complicate the task, we were asked to create the production only a little over two weeks or so before it needed to be screened at the event!
Despite the time and material constraints, we wanted to ensure that the video was more interesting than a narrator's voice telling the audience what to think or a collection of sound bites without much additional context. After some brainstorming, we decided to focus on the four words that comprise the name of the organization, all of which are important descriptors of their mission. Our motion graphic artist created four separate slates, all opening with the organization's logo, but in each, a different one of the four words popped out, providing the conceptual background to relevant sound bites that would follow for the next three-quarters of a minute (plus or minus). We then called together a handful of people who had participated in the mission, gathering them at one locale against a beautifully lit draped background, and we interviewed them in depth about the four topics we knew we would be highlighting. We also videotaped them interacting – encounters that were filled with warmth since they had all shared meaningful experiences on the trip together.
We pulled the best quotes and placed them appropriately behind the motion graphics leaders of each section. We used as much b-roll as we could muster from the footage shot on the trip and from the clips of the participants interacting the day we recorded them; with a dearth of choices from the former and a desire to touch emotions from the latter, we relied on slo-mo effects. We set all of this to relevant rights-free music, and voila! The final production told the story through the graphics and the sound bites, which were expressed with the kind of experiential passion that imparts genuineness. The three-minute film was a huge success at the gala and a source of pride to the participants and the organization.

British online linen brand, Piglet, has opened its first ever pop up shop in London's Notting Hill, running from Saturday 16th March until Sunday 7th April.
For those unfamiliar with the brand, Piglet has been quietly gaining a cult following, offering simple, high-quality, low-maintenance, durable linen homeware from its online store, Pigletinbed.com, since January 2017.
Now, for the first time, there's a chance to see Piglet's entire collection of 100% French flax linen bedding, table linen and sleepware in one pop-up space.
To celebrate the opening Piglet has collaborated with artist, Alexandria Coe on 50 pairs of Limited Edition pyjamas, which will be exclusively available from the pop up, before being stocked online.
Alexandria focuses upon the simplification of the human form, with minimalist mark-making. Piglet's white 100% stonewashed linen pyjamas will feature a figurative illustration of a female nude embroidered onto the pocket. It's a stylish and subtle embellishment on this luxuriously simple nightwear.
The new 'Piglet x Alexandria Coe Pyjamas' are priced at £120, with 35% of the sale price from each limited edition piece being donated to Plan International*.
Linen is ideal for every season – fresh in the summer and warm in the winter. As well as being exceptionally soft, linen's natural long fibres help to regulate our body temperature as we sleep with its breathability and high moisture absorbency. It's also perfectly weighted which helps send even the lightest of sleepers into a wonderful deep slumber.
The sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases and pyjamas also get softer and softer with each wear and wash. Added to that flax linen is a rotation crop, farmed naturally in small batches. It requires far less water to produce than cotton, and every part of the plant is used, so it's much more eco-friendly.
Piglet, 79-81 Ledbury Road, Westbourne Grove, London, W11 2AG

Weekly Forecast
So, it's Spring Break at our house. Since this is the first year that we have a child in school, this is the first year that we are really affected by the Spring Break madness! Samuel woke up on Saturday morning shouting about how excited he was that there was no school. Apparently he forgot that he never has school on Saturday!
So, what are our Spring Break plans? Nothing really. We are a kickback kind of people. I hate the crowds during this week. So, there will not be any Sea World or Six Flags. I'm undecided about the zoo, but a trip to the library might be in order. We have a couple of social things in the works, but would it be weird of me to just want to organize the house a little bit?
I really want to clean out Afton's closet, and my closet just makes me want to cry right now! I'm also working on some stuff with my sister, and I feel like I've been slacking a little bit.
This morning we made an 8:30am visit to the McDonald's playland, so I think they're good for today. Tomorrow they're going to have a play date that should keep them occupied for a couple of hours. I though about the gym, but the afternoon is already here, and the baby is napping.
I think I better make a list for tomorrow so I don't spend the entire day thinking about what I want to do!

I drafted the pattern one size too big for him, I didn't realize ... I must have thought,... better bigger than smaller. I did some alterations here and there,... quiet alot actually.
Of course, I was hoping that the pants would just suit him miraculously, but unfortunately some adjustments need to be made.
First the fitting is not correct, Told ya I did some alterations... I tug a bit here and there until it fits him. Done!
Second, the zipper is weak and short, so I replaced the zipper with the bigger one.... hopefully stronger.... and longer. Too bad the color is black. Not just that, I forgot how to attach the front fly zipper,.... so I re-do a few times.
Third, apparantely he likes his pants to sit between the hip and the waist, mmmhhh... for instance, I only wear low waist for pants and skirt... so for this I agree with him. To adjust to his needs, I lower the waistline by taking 3cm off from the top part.
.... and somehow the side pockets are too heavy for the pants, I know it's due to its material. The material is not fantastic for this type of pattern, it is sort of big fibre cotton, I'm sure there is a name for this type of cotton. I took off one of the side pockets, .... not much of a help though. I even ruin the fabric a little bit ... ;(
After the ordeal, the pants is ready,... still I'm not satisfied, I can do better than that, if only I use different material .... so not cool.
Oh, I don't know if its going to shrink or not after washing.... what a waste of a hardwork if it is going to be ...

Thankfully some was kept & then jewelers discovered it & a new line of jewelry was born. When it is gone it is gone, cars are not painted in the same way today. Each color is a different car so not 2 pieces are alike. In this piece we have red, cream white gray and black. A nice size bail is on this pendant for your chain or cord with a rim of sterling silver around the Fordite. Overall size is about 1 1/8″ x 1/2″.

Lancet 'Hologram'
Lancet 'Hologram'B10 HOLOGRAM
The Lancet 'Hologram' features a light and resilient frame in aerospace grade titanium, inlaid with mother of pearl. The blade is hand-forged etched damascus by Larry Donnelly; the one-hand button lock and the thumb stud are set with opals.
Sleek, elegant, refined, and comfortable in the hand and to the eye, the Lancet defines the essential gentleman's folder in the modern world.
The Hologram features some of the exotic materials and hand-forged metals that are the hallmark of William Henry's collections; a distinctive personality statement to be worn and used for a lifetime.
Features & Specs
- One-hand button lock system
- Leather carrying case
- Shipped in an elegant wood presentation box
- Dimensions:
Blade 2.75" (69.9mm)
Handle 3.63" (92.2mm)
Overall open 6.38" (162mm)
Hand-forged damascus
Damascus steel was a term used by several Western cultures from the Medieval period onward to describe a type of steel created in India and used from about 300 BC to 1700 AD. These blades were characterized by distinctive patterns of banding and mottling reminiscent of flowing water. They were reputed to be not only tough and resistant to shattering, but capable of being honed to a sharp and resilient edge. William Henry's damascus is made from several types of steel welded together to form a billet.
The patterns vary depending on how the damascus artist works the billet. The billet is drawn out and folded until the desired number of layers are formed. William Henry damascus billets are forged with a minimum of 300 layers. William Henry works with a handful of the very best damascus artists/forgers in the U.S.
Titanium is a low density, strong, lustrous, corrosion-resistant (including sea water, aqua regia and chlorine) metal with a silver color.
It was discovered in Great Britain by William Gregor in 1791, and named by Martin Heinrich Klaproth for the Titans of Greek mythology
William Henry uses only aerospace-grade titanium alloy for our frames, clips, and micro-fasteners. Called 6Al/4V, it is titanium with a little aluminum and vanadium added in for additional toughness and tensile strength.
Mother of Pearl
Mother of Pearl is the common name for iridescent nacre, a blend of minerals that are secreted by oysters and other mollusks and deposited inside their shells. William Henry uses premium mother of pearl material sourced directly from suppliers in Australia, selected for maximum color and figure.
In ancient Rome, this gem symbolized love and hope. The Romans gave it a name—opalus—that was synonymous with "precious stone."
Many cultures have credited opal with supernatural origins and powers. Arabic legends say it falls from the heavens in flashes of lightning. The ancient Greeks believed opals gave their owners the gift of prophecy and guarded them from disease. Europeans have long considered the gem a symbol of hope, purity, and truth.
Opal is considered an October birthstone; throughout most of history, it has been regarded as the luckiest and most magical of all gems because it can show all colors.

"Did I understand you correctly? If we send Gordon to Khartoum — Gordon, a national hero — and he fails, then the blame will fall on him and not on the government?"
"It could happen that way."
In 1965, Charlton Heston agreed to participate in Khartoum, a film in which he was to play 19th-century British General Charles "Chinese" Gordon. Heston accepted the job because he was greatly impressed by the script by Robert Ardrey (which in fact would earn an Academy Award nomination). Principal photography began at England's Pinewood studios where most of the interiors were shot, and then moved to Egypt for the location work. The city of Masghouna, on the Nile River, was used to represent 1885 Khartoum. Filming was completed in November 1965 and the film opened in early 1966 with a Royal Premiere in London. It received generally favourable notices and did good business everywhere but in the United States. Possibly the unfamiliar subject matter and the lack of a female star were contributing factors to the latter. MGM has now released Khartoum on DVD as one of its standard catalogue offerings.
In 1885, the city of Khartoum, located on the Nile River and capital of the Sudan, is threatened with being attacked and occupied by Muslim fundamentalist, the Mahdi, and his followers. In addition to its large Sudanese population, the city is home to many Europeans and Egyptians. Loathe to commit British troops to defend the city, the British government sends General Charles Gordon to arrange evacuation of the non-Sudanese. Gordon's arrival, by virtue of his past record in dealing with slavery in the region, brings much hope to the city's inhabitants. Gordon, however, does not intend to evacuate Khartoum and instead hopes to force British intervention by refusing to leave the city. As time passes with the city's inhabitants weakening due to lack of food and the Mahdi's forces isolating the city, Gordon prepares Khartoum to repel invasion, all the time still hopeful of British intervention.
Khartoum appeared near the end of the cycle of historical epic films that had begun over a decade earlier with the introduction of the widescreen CinemaScope process. In Khartoum's case, filming was done using Ultra Panavision rectified for presentation in single-strip Cinerama. It was the last film shot in this manner. For practical purposes, the film was generally projected with an aspect ratio of 2.35:1. In the hands of veteran British director Basil Dearden, the look of the film reflects how well it has taken advantage of the wide image, presenting generous vistas of the Nile River, Khartoum, and the desert environs. The interiors also use the wide screen effectively, in terms of both spatial and colour composition. Supporting Dearden is the renowned second-unit director, Yakima Canutt (of Ben-Hur fame, for example), who successfully generates excitement and realism in the film's action sequences. These components represent some of the film's strongest aspects.
The acting of the two principal roles is also a positive. In one of his best portrayals, Charlton Heston provides us with a General Gordon who is suitably heroic and inspirational, but he also successfully hints at Gordon's weaknesses — his unwavering belief that Britain will do what's right and his almost megamaniacal reliance on the power of his own force of will. As the Mahdi, Laurence Olivier manages to avoid what could have been a ridiculous spectacle. Done up in blackface, Olivier gives a very intelligent reading of the part, providing real conviction to lines that could easily have elicited laughter. His Mahdi is no one-dimensional fanatic, but a man of refinement and possessed of real concern for Gordon's fate. The face-to-face meetings of Heston and Olivier's characters are high points of the film (even if the two characters never met in real life). Ralph Richardson provides a nice supporting portrait of British Prime Minister Gladstone.
Despite Heston's contentment with Khartoum's admittedly intelligent (and even somewhat accurate) script, it is the script that is also responsible for the film's major weakness. At two and a quarter hours, the film is too long. The middle is wordy and static, and just drags despite how good it all looks. The players strive mightily to keep us interested as the intermission looms, but if you're at all drowsy, sleep may win out.
MGM previously released Khartoum on laserdisc with a very pleasing image transfer, but its new DVD improves the experience even further. The 2.35:1 anamorphic transfer is very fine indeed and comes complete with overture, intermission, entr'acte, and exit music. Colours are rich and vibrant (particularly in contrast with the grays and browns of the desert); the image is free of all but the very odd speckle; and contrast and shadow detail are excellent. The panoramic shots look beautiful and images where blue sky comes into play show no sign of video noise. Edge enhancement is not a concern.
The audio is a Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo Surround mix available in both English and Spanish. This is an effective surround presentation (apparently derived from the original stereo mix) that is mainly concentrated in the fronts (with some nice directionality), but with occasional subtle surround effects. Generally low-key bass effects are also apparent during some of the battle scenes. Volume level concerns with the previous laserdisc are not in evidence on the DVD. The pleasingly majestic music score by Frank Cordell is nicely conveyed. English, French, and Spanish subtitles are provided.
Supplementary material is confined to MGM's standard offering of the original theatrical trailer. It's too bad that Charlton Heston couldn't have been prevailed upon to do a commentary as the film is apparently one he is quite proud of.
If you like historical epics, Khartoum has lots to offer despite the fact that it's perhaps a quarter hour too long. Fine performances, excellent cinematography, and an interesting story combine to make one of the last of such spectacles a worthy film experience. MGM comes through where it counts — with a very fine transfer both visually and sonically. Recommended.

Science Does 2017/ 18Posted on July 21st, 2017 in Pro, Shop, Team Riders, Uncategorized.
Mike Stewart skipped out on the Arica Chilean Pro to spend some time in Oz.
Accompanied by John Cruickshank and the Science Bodyboard Oz team Mike Stewart spent the month of July moving up the East coast of Australia spreading the good word of the 2017/18 Science range. Featuring the standards, the pro models and what would appear to be the first ever 21st century vintage bodyboard.
As the official 'Vintage Bodyboard' Facebook page went into overdrive over the new logo, we delved a little deeper as to specs, quality and ride. The StyleMSClassic you're looking at here is 3mm thicker than any other board in the 17/ 18 Science range whilst its nose, tail and NTWP are all slightly smaller specs than any other board in the range. How does that leave the rider performing? Well, we got in touch with Jonny Cruickshank from Science who was eager to share his thoughts, "It's the best Polyethylene core I've ridden," he says. "Nemo (James Nymeyer) and I took it out around home and had more fun on that than anything I've ridden in a long time." Its thicker mould allows for a stronger bottom turn, an easier grip and a whole lot of hold on the rail from what we understand. Check out the board HERE.
Science StyleMSclassic, available in Black & Orange, Midnight & White and Blue & White
Meanwhile ABA Junior champion Liam Lucas got in touch with his pick of the bunch and his title winning board, "I'm riding the Pro Limited, it's extraordinarily thin which I find is a good all round template, good in the air and ground." He continues, "the Pro Limited this year is running MS Channels which is basically graduated entry concave, they allow me a better response when bottom turning and hitting sections, the drag is a bare minimum too."
Science Pro Limited available in Blue & Black and Black & Yellow
As for his recent time spent with legend of the sport MSi1, Liam agreed, Science is in as safer hands as it could ever be, "with such a high performance rider like Mike Stewart running Science, the quality and function of products are forever expanding as for the mans experience and knowledge. With the new 2017/18 range you can see advancement with the new channel system as well as aspects from old school riding, it's all about having a wide range of board types to choose from."
And by all accounts it appears Science have achieved exactly that this year. Check out their entire new range HERE.
Mike navigating at home.

@InvaderXan Sorry, I don't get it. How can this photo contain every human who's ever lived? Saturn and Earth are only some light hours apart, so people who died several years ago cannot be on this photo. Secondly, we can only see the side facing Saturn, i.e. roughly one half of it's population.

And that doesn't include local postings: more cities and counties are issuing mandatory posters than ever before.
This insightful webinar will summarize the mandatory posting changes for 2017 and what they mean for your business. It will also explore the legal trends impacting posting compliance, including new city/county posting ordinances, state minimum wage increases and expanded sick pay laws. Plus, you'll discover how to manage postings for remote and mobile workers.
Watch this free, insightful webinar and you'll learn:
- Top federal, state and city/local posting changes for 2017

text: Amazing painting in water |2015-12-18 Author:华龙网HelloChongqing | | Tao Jin, a post-80s boy graduated from the Oil Painting Department of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, has been attracted by the magic of painting when he saw Ebru (paper marbling) for the first time at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. Last year, Turkish Ebru was listed on the World Intangible Cultural Heritage List, but this ancient art is not to pass on to foreigners. As a result, it took him one year to solve the mystery of painting in the water.How to paint on the water? The first secret lies in the base solution being poured down. "Only when the base solution is neither thin nor thick and has a few impurities after stirring can the paint be dispersed with control in the water without affecting the aesthetic feeling of the appearance of the painting," said Tao Jin. The raw materials are three plant roots and stems that can be easily bought in Turkey and are used for cooking locally.The process of making the "base solution" is not easy. It has strict temperature limits, and one have to constantly stir for several hours. The control of the proportion of the powders ground from raw materials in water is a test to the skill of the painter, as well as one of the "core techniques" in the painting process.Actually, there are secrets in these paints that seem common as well. As ox bile has been added, the paint can float on the water. However, it has reached the limit with seven kinds of paint used. Tao Jin said, "When more than seven kinds of paints are used, the density of paint may be higher than that of the base solution, and the paint would slowly sink, which would make the painter unable to paint on the paper with the paint."The tools for Ebru painting are quite special. The fan brushes are not used for painting but to slightly shake off the paint into the water and the tea needles used for dividing Puer tea are the "brushes" for painting.Use a "brush" to slightly beat against the index finger, and the paint dripping in the water would gradually disperse with the ripples, and then the beautiful marbling is formed.After seeing the paint freely disperse in the water, Tao Jin took up a tea needle and slightly outlined. With branches and leaves gradually shaping up one after another and the tulips dancing in the water, ripples also appeared in the heart of viewers.To avoid the paint from sinking when it takes too long, Tao Jin is slight and quick in his movement when painting in the water. Several minutes later, the pattern of flowers with lively colours appeared on the surface of the water. Put a piece of white paper on the surface of the water and slowly pull it out, and then the painting in the water will be completely transferred onto the paper. share You may also like these articles.

This topic contains 12 replies, has 8 voices, and was last updated by warumono-mode 3 years, 10 months ago.
Slim Goodies Diner
BACKGROUND: As a leader, I would love to take this diner to remain a fifty/ sixty style restaurant but have the best grease burgers in town. I would have monthly events from outside patio with service done in Rollerskates. I would love to have my employees dressed in vintage outfits such as fifties sixties, and seventies retro dress. Other invents would include, costume, best Elvis impersonator, Beatles, disco night themes. Also, could do best in Milkshake, make your own milkshake and winner will get recognition and name on the menu.
UNIQUE: I always love good in character chaos and would be happy to use this to the diner's advantage. My character is not very loved and I'd expect robbery, damage etcetera, and very open to ideas. But for the cult, for gangs, for drug running, the Diner, would be a good focal point to do heinous crimes under the nose of the DEPD.
EXPERIENCE:I have been a Lead with the DEMH and the Asylum, in the past.DEMH/Asylum is what helped make my character known, as Dr. Fitzgerald. Now, I like to be more apt to working at the Diner as an independent, and hopefully provide good roleplay experience to my employees and clientele, and that includes all fractions and business owners. As I mentioned before I enjoy in-character chaos and my character may even come at someone with a knife, as she is a very crazed redhead. I hoped that whatever experience, we have it will be a dull one.
IDEAS:I will always treat everyone with respect. And expect them to want to role play at the diner as well, since they freely signed up. If I am not there, I would ask them to send me a notecard, with credentials and set up a time to do an in-character interview or via phone. Whatever is easiest for the roleplayer.
OTHER:I would introduce items on my menu. And have a best dressed decade and the winner would receive a: two months free unlimited coupon, and five hundred dollars, second place would get one month free and two-fifty dollars. Third place would get a coupon for two weeks and hundred bucks!

The cause of the perpetual print cycles was a small spring for the restoring lever, underneath the machine, which had come loose when I connected the cycle latch lever spring a few days ago. After putting it back in place, the machine does not attempt print cycles when not requested.
|Hand cycle wheel in place - apologies for the blurry focus
|Spring hook tool used to affix small springs
|Hooverometer in approximate position for cycle latch adjustment
|Hooverometer tool for adjusting Selectric typewriters
In spite of this, it is still not restoring and thus taking perpetual index cycles. I will need to investigate this further, after I spend quite a while poring over the theory of operations, adjustments and illustrated parts manuals.
I adjusted the red ribbon shift tape tension to get the new replacement tape I installed working correctly. Nothing in any of the manuals advises on tape tension or setup. You loop the tape around and then have to guess how much to move the right hand tape pulley in order to have black or red print depending on the selection.
|Right pulley with plastic ribbon color shift tape, adjustment screw at right
|Armature to pull or release the ribbon color shift tape
|Tape snapped off the metal clip
|Clip pushed through doubled section of tape, makeshift repair
|Cam follower latch in its leftward (black color) position
|Cam follower latch in its rightward (red ribbon color) position
The two solenoids that activate the carrier return and index functions have microswitches that detect the state of the operation, with long leafs on the switches that extend out and can be touched by metal bars on the actuator arms (they are called contact bails).
|Carrier Return microswitch with leaf below bail
|Index microswitch with leaf above its contact bail
I retrieved all my design notes from the workspace and began to properly assign all the signals to the Arduino pins. From there, I resumed writing the startup code to initialize the interface. The punch and the reader cables each have a pair of wires connected together, allowing the Arduino to do a quick verification that the respective cable is attached. If the reader cable is not installed, the unit will still work as a punch but cannot read cards or verify during punching.
The USB serial port is used for diagnostic messages - both normal status and errors - in addition to the text responses on Serial port 1 - the user interface - to every command issued on that port.

As the delayed July 15 filing deadline for 2019 tax returns approaches, taxpayers should be weighing the benefits of extending their deadline to Oct. 15.
The Internal Revenue Service's postponement of this year's filing deadline for all individual taxpayers, from the usual April 15 to July 15, gave welcome breathing room during the disruptive early months of the Covid-19 pandemic.
But taxpayers have the option to take even more time to prepare their returns. This extension needs to be requested, but it you file an extension form by the tax filing deadline you are granted three more months to prepare and file a tax return. This doesn't delay paying what's owed—any estimated unpaid taxes must be paid by the earliest filing deadline, which this year is July 15, or penalties and interest may be applied to the amount overdue.
A Break for Small-Business Owners
Delaying filing a 2019 return could give business owners time to assess any losses directly related to the Covid-19 pandemic. The IRS allows losses due to unexpected and unusual circumstances—typically natural disasters such as tornadoes, floods and earthquakes—to be deducted against income on the prior year's tax returns.
"It has to be a tangible loss, so a good example would be a food business owner whose inventory went down, or an owner who had to completely shutter a business due to Covid 19," says Edward Rigby, a tax partner at accounting firm Prager Metis.
Those $1,200 Stimulus Checks Again …
Delaying filing could also help some taxpayers maximize benefits under the Cares Act, the broad economic stimulus bill passed in March.
Consider the one-time $1,200 payment, the centerpiece of the bill's stimulus for individuals. Adjusted gross income for singles must be under $99,000 to qualify, and under $198,000 for couples who file a joint return. Technically this is a credit for the 2020 tax year, but eligibility for the payment depends on the latest income information available to the federal government. It will look at 2019 income, but if that's not yet evident because a tax return hasn't been filed yet, it will look back to 2018 income.
While the IRS has sent most payments, "if someone hasn't received a stimulus check and they would qualify based on a 2018 return but not their 2019 return because their income went up, that would be a reason to get an extension and not file yet, because the IRS will then issue a check based on 2018 income," says Bob Charron, tax practice leader at Friedman LLP, a New York-based accounting firm.
But if the reverse is true—you don't qualify for a check based on your 2018 income, but your 2019 income was low enough for eligibility, you may want to file your 2019 as soon as possible, Charron says.
Real-Estate Investors Get A Break
Another timing strategy involves a provision in the Cares Act that allows individual taxpayers who are real estate owners to claim 100% bonus depreciation for improvements to non-residential properties since 2017.
Taxpayers must claim the depreciation prior to 2021. They have the option to claim it either retroactively on their 2018 returns or against their 2019 or 2020 income.
Most folks will want to claim the depreciation in their highest income year, Charron says. While income for 2018 and 2019 is already clear, it may be too early to predict what 2020's income will total. By extending the filing deadline, you get three more months to get clarity on how 2020's income will shape up to decide the best year to claim the depreciation, Channon says.
What's Next?
There is a chance that the IRS could again push the first filing deadline out further, which would postpone the tax payment deadline beyond July 15 and could give taxpayers enough extra time to gather more information for their 2019 return without filing for an extension. Last week, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin indicated there is a chance of another postponement.
For folks owed a tax refund, the IRS says it will pay taxpayers interest on their refunds for the period beyond the typical tax filing deadline of April 15, whether they have filed their tax returns already or not.

This is a short, unitary, and beautiful book by Uruguayan poet Milán. There's a little less of the self-consciousness about writing that makes Milán's poetry so distinctive. I'm kind of lucky to be reading it because there are only 100 copies and my library happens to have it.

Is Memphis in a coffee renaissance? It may be too soon to tell. But something certainly is, ahem, brewing. For proof, look to all the third wave places like Launch Process and Low Fi popping up. Our next piece of evidence is the Grind City Coffee Expo, set for March 9th at Memphis College of Art.
Daniel Lynn and Rachel Williams are the event's organizers. "It's a way to bring Memphis coffee [purveyors] together under a neutral roof," says Lynn. "And it's a way to expose Memphians to what [these purveyors] have to offer."
Guests will be given a tasting card and a five-ounce tasting mug to sample coffees from the nine vendors who will be at the event. The vendors include: Dr. Bean, Vice & Virtue, Comeback Coffee, The Avenue, Awal Coffee, The Hub, Reverb, Launch Process, and French Truck. Each, in turn, will offer something special for the show. Vice & Virtue is bringing a mini-roaster and guests can roast their own beans. Comeback Coffee will have coffee sodas(!).
Lynn says he was inspired to create the expo after attending the Science of Beer event, though he acknowledges "coffee's more of my speed." Lynn notes that he's learned a lot from setting up the expo. For example, "spro" is short for espresso.
"Coffee is almost like a plate of barbecue," says Lynn. "It's something you can bond over."
Tickets are $30, with proceeds going to Protect Our Aquifer.
Grind City Coffee Expo at Memphis College of Art, Saturday, March 9th, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
Comeback Coffee, set to open in Uptown March 29th, has a lighted sign on the wall that reads, "Stay a while," and they mean it. Comeback is owned by Hayes and Amy McPherson. Hayes marvels at the variety of potential customers. You've got your Uptowners, your St. Juders, North Memphians, Mud Islanders, and so on. "All those people can rub shoulders," he says.
Hayes vows that Comeback will be quick and consistent. He plans on a little quality pushing. What this means is that there are no fancy pour-overs; drinks will be made by machine but from the finest sources. Folks can "sit and be," he says. Plus, price points will be reasonable.
There will be classic coffee drinks as well as seasonal and specialty drinks such as mochas. A giant espresso machine sits on the counter just waiting to hit customers with a caffeine buzz. In addition, a menu, designed by noted local chef Cole Jeanes, will feature pastries, sandwiches, and toasts.
Comeback is in a pretty, old building on North Main. There is exposed brick and large windows on the west side. The McPhersons, who live upstairs, had taken note of the building, fantasizing what they could do with the space. Amy's father is in commercial real estate. He had, on his own, taken interest in the building as well. The two sides compared notes and decided it was meant to be.
Hayes says he's excited about the upcoming expo. "We've needed this for a long time," he says. "We on the cusp of a coffee culture."
Comeback Coffee, 358 N. Main
Wee beginning roasters often start with an air popper (meant for popcorn) to roast their first beans. Tim and Teri Perkins of Vice & Virtue Coffee did and quickly moved on to a whirley pop, trading up to better equipment as their knowledge grew. They are currently working out of a space on Hollywood with a commercial roaster and hope to eventually open a small shop of their own. Their coffees are currently available at Curb Market, Cooper-Young Community Farmers Market, Belltower Artisans, City Silo, the Grecian Gourmet Taverna, and at the roastery.
Tim calls this a passion project, but this is an obsession of a Fatal Attraction variety. They travel to conferences, take classes. They talk, talk, talk coffee and never get sick of it. They caught the fever when they heard their first bean crack.
On the name, it involves Aristotle, the human condition, good versus evil. "It appealed to us," says Tim. "I'm vice, she's virtue."
Tim points out that the "v" in the logo is actually a martini glass, which points to the notion of craft coffee moving into the craft cocktail space and the Perkinses' plan to serve coffee cocktails one day.
The Perkinses say they've enjoyed learning about different beans from different countries, experimenting with coffee, and coaxing out the best flavors. "We know what we're doing, but we can get better," says Teri.
At the expo, Tim plans to walk guests through the roasting process, having them immerse themselves in the sensory experience. Like the McPhersons, the Perkinses say the expo is a long time coming and that Memphis' coffee community has thus far been underserved.
"It's a craft," says Tim. "It's an artform."
Vice & Virtue offers cuppings on the first Friday of the month, from 6:30-8 p.m., at the Hollywood roastery, in conjunction with Broad Avenue First Friday. The next cupping is March 1st and will have a March Madness theme, where tasters are put to the test. Cost is $5.
