A teenage girl bedroom would mostly look beautiful and a place to take refuge in when it is given a royal touch. A daughter or in our case here, twin daughters, are princess for their parents. Giving them a room with a royal theme only enhances that bond. Beautifully draped beds and footstools make up a great sleeping area. You can add vintage mirrors along with royal upholstery in the room.
@Fay, that is your opinion, of course. I, however, was admiring the variety in the designs, happy that they weren't all excessively girly, because, of course, that WOULD be stereotypical. There are girls that do like that kind of thing, however, and I thought this list was very good in portraying different styles for different people. You did find TWO that you liked, didn't you? Each and every one wasn't meant to suit each and every girl.
Girl's bedrooms are certainly not relegated to frilly beds and all-over pink decors any longer. Today's girls bedrooms are as varied as each girl's personality with styles, colors and motifs in an endless range of possibilities. From baby girls nurseries to young girls bedrooms to preteen girls rooms to teen girls bedrooms, you'll find a room design and ideas for every stage of a girl's childhood. Additionally, the 100 girls rooms designs, tips and photos we feature here come from around the world, so you're sure to find a design that has your little or big girl's name written all over it!

When it was time for our toddler to upgrade to his "Big Boy Bedroom" I knew I wanted to design something which would be able to grow with him over the years. The basis of the room is classic stars and stripes, which means we can mix up the accessories as his tastes change. Taking inspiration from our travels around America and their comic book stores we used bright red as an accent colour against greys and whites. Comic covers from our special dates; birthdays, anniversaries etc. hang on the walls next to handmade comic book bunting, framed posters and Superhero silhouettes, with lighting and canopies creating a cosy feel. Super storage solutions hide all manner of clutter and provide a great display area for favourite toys and books.
This monogram is another easy decoration DIY that you can make in no time and use in many ways. It's as easy to make as getting a hollow letter block with the little girl's initial and then fill the open space with fabric or paper roses. You can use it to decorate the walls or set it on top of furniture. lulus.
If your ultimate goal is "cozy," then work different textures into the décor. Stick with classic patterns (tartan plaid, checks) and introduce different colors with the bed linens, walls, and accessories.
One of the most popular color schemes for a preteen girl's bedroom is pink, white, and black. Take one look at the room shown here and you'll see why: it's the perfect blend of sophistication, innocence, and quirkiness. Stick with black and white on the flooring and the furniture, and you can easily change the theme if your daughter eventually decides she's too old for pink.
Eye-popping aqua makes a statement in this bedroom as a striking backdrop for crisp white trim and girl's bedroom accessories. Pops of pink, inspired by the cherry blossom tree painted on the wall, contrast the room's ultra-colorful walls. Through the white doors, a bright white room awaits with furniture placed to make it the perfect reading nook. Subtle girl's room themes like this can grow with her into teen years and beyond.
I love this bedroom – it was one of the first I designed and the brief was to create an elegant and serene sanctuary. The soft Cornforth White walls combined with the decadent wallpaper by Tapet Café really do complement one another and create a very soothing mood. The Vogue print adds the perfect 'pop' of colour and the large mirror reflects a lot of light into the space. The chandelier by Verner Panton completes the look and adds decadence. Image credit
As a baseline, selecting streamlined furniture is essential to keep the room feeling as spacious as possible and allow for storage and playing. If your kids are old enough, bunk beds are always an excellent choice. Whether L-shaped or vertical, a bunk bed is an efficient use of space and oftentimes has built-in storage underneath.
Make the most of your small bedroom by using furniture to provide the storage that many undersized rooms lack. Case in point: this lovely, shabby chic bedroom substitutes a small dresser for a traditional nightstand, and makes the most of a recessed nook with a china cabinet to hold linens, sweaters, and other bulky items. That's smart and beautiful.
Smart lighting choices have a big effect on how a small bedroom feels. Soft light coming from several different directions will blur the edges of your room and, in turn, make it feel larger. Helpful Hint: Soften up your overhead light. Use a frosted shade and a lower wattage bulb to create a more calming ambience. Photo courtesy by Erin Southwell.
Make tidying up more fun with pretty fabric storage boxes slotted into a white-painted unit. A large scale wall sticker picks up on the colours of the boxes to turn the storage area into a focal point.
You may want to rethink your black-out window treatments. Embrace natural light, which will help a small bedroom feel light and airy. Layer drapes and light-blocking shades for style and optimal light control.
Are Ariel, Cinderella and Belle your daughter's best friends? Does she love every Disney princess and dream of arriving at a ball in a pumpkin carriage of her own? She's not alone — the many princesses of Disney have been loved through several generations of girls. What better way to decorate her room than with a full-wall mural of her favorite animated characters? You can hire a muralist to create a one-of-a-kind design, or buy a wallpaper mural that is easy to apply on your own.
Although your bedroom color scheme is often a personal opinion, there are some paint colors that are more relaxing and better suited for your sleeping area. Studies have found that people with blue bedrooms often get more sleep because of the calmness it elicits. Brighter colors may lead to a better mood, but they also might keep you up longer at night. If you have a significant other with opposing tastes, consider master bedroom colors falling within the neutral range — such as variations of green, gray or brown — to keep everyone happy. Sharing many bedroom pictures that you've saved to your ideabook can be a great way to help your significant other get a sense of your bedroom remodeling ideas.
This art piece is very impressive, and with good reason. If you can't find one that is already made, all you need is a frame, pearls of different sizes, a template and lots of patience. It's worth it in the diy 7×17 loft area bedroom girls though. source.
As you may know, I don't have a daughter. I'm expecting my fourth little boy and I could not be more excited. The only downside to that is I would LOVE to decorate a girl's room! I have a pretty girly craft room but for now I'll live vicariously through these amazing ladies' design skills! I am obsessed with each and every one of these adorable girls room ideas. I hope you find some inspiration if you're looking to redecorate your girl's room or if your little one is ready for her first "Big girl" room! Oh my gosh, so fun!

To, no doubt, the unalloyed pleasure of those who like to criticise or praise him, Pope Francis has opined on the question of Female Deacons in the Roman Catholic Church. That is another bone for him and his church to gnaw away at. Naturally, given some of those who welcome the idea, those who don't see it as the thin end of the wedge for female ordination. It is a shame if the hermeneutic of suspicion casts a cloud over the question of deaconesses, as there is plenty of evidence for their existence in the early Church.
We know from some of the critics of the Church that it attracted a lot of women into it – the early heretic Celsus, criticised it for attracting only "the silly and the mean and the stupid, with women and children." It should not surprise us that women were powerfully drawn to a faith which disallowed the exposure of female infants on the hillside to die, and which forbade abortion. As we see from Acts and Paul's letters, women often hosted house churches and were active in the church – in this the early Church reflected Jesus' own practice. Those who keep telling us that his earthly ministry was conditioned by the contemporary culture (with the sub-text that ours should be too) forget how counter-cultural this was.
It was the women who stayed with Jesus in numbers even at the foot of the Cross; it was to a woman that he first appeared at the Resurrection; and we know that women continued to be active in the very early missions. The list includes Priscilla, Chloe, Lydia, Apphia, Nympha, the mother of John Mark, and possibly (depending on how one reads it) the "elect lady" of John's second epistle. As for what they did, Celment of Alexandria gives us this insight, telling us that disciples were accompanied on their missionary journeys by women who were not marriage partners, but colleagues:
that they might be their fellow ministers in dealing with housewives. It was through them that the Lord's teaching penetrated also the women's quarters without any scandal being aroused. We also know the directions about women deacons which are given by the noble Paul in his letter to Timothy.
Was this the role played by Junia and others mentioned by Paul in Romans 16? She is described as being of 'note among the Apostles'. Chrysostom wrote: "Oh, how great is the devotion of this woman, that she should even be counted worthy of the appellation of apostle." Later attempts to claim this person was a man called 'Junias' encounter a slight problem – such a name is unknown in Roman times. Phoebe is called a 'prostasis' or 'overseer' – the Greek word is διάκονον – from which our modern 'deacon' comes. Origen, referring to 1 Timothy 3:11 commented:
This text teaches with the authority of the Apostle that even women are instituted deacons in the Church. This is the function which was exercised in the church of Cenchreae by Phoebe, who was the object of high praise and recommendation by Paul . . . And thus this text teaches at the same time two things: that there are, as we have already said, women deacons in the Church, and that women, who by their good works deserve to be praised by the Apostle, ought to be accepted in the diaconate.
We know that they could visit believing women in pagan households where a male deacon would be unacceptable, as well as visiting the sick, bathing those recovering from illness, and ministering to the needy. Women Deacons also assisted in the baptism of women, anointing them with oil and giving them instruction in purity and holiness – in an era when baptism was usually by full immersion, it would hardly have been decent for women to have been accompanied into the water by a male. Canon 15 of Chalcedon made it clear that no woman under the age of 40 could be deacon, and that the role had to be given up on marriage.
So, steering away from the thorny issue of female ordination, there is good evidence that women functioned as deacons in the early Church (and further reading can be found here. I fear, of course, that this will all be ignored and some will focus solely in the issue of women priests – it would be a shame, not least because the evidence there from history is far less clear. But I suppose there will always be those who prefer the later tradition of their own church to the testimony of the early Church. Any how, that's my historical excursus.

This is not your average sweet confectionery with glazed icing or sugar on top. In fact, you're looking at the world's most expensive donut. The £1,000 (around US$1274) tower of sweet decadence was created with a royalty of gilded leaves, a gold dusted Belgian chocolate flower and edible diamonds, all for a good cause. Krispy Kreme unveiled the world's most expensive donut at Selfridges department store in UK about two years ago. The confection was created to mark National Donut Week — a fundraising effort benefiting the UK Children's Trust charity.

The donut took three days to assemble and includes indulgent ingredients like a Dom Pérignon vintage 2002 champagne jelly with a raspberry and Chateau d'Yquem crème. Finished with a passion fruit glaze, the donut is gilded with edible 24K gold leaf and adorned with a hand made 23K gold dusted Belgian white chocolate lotus flower, blossoms, ivy, butterflies and edible diamonds.

With a passion for excellence and dreaming to preserve the foundation of the cutting horse, our breeding program offers a blend of the greatest cutting horses past and present.
I often theorize on how to breed successful cutting horses. Elaine Hall told me that all horses cost the same to breed, feed, shod, train and show etc. and the cheapest expense will be the actual horse. And she recommended buying the best mare I could afford and breed her to the best stallions. I want to breed for champions! There are innumerable variables that make proving a breeding technique a success. It will take six years for a breeding plan and resultant foal to grow and compete through the four year old derby competitions. A career can end with an injury, or more subtly by a decision to pair the right horse with the wrong trainer. Quarter Horses News publishes the top breeders and obviously those individuals know something worth tapping into to.
Federico Tesio was a top breeder of thoroughbreds. His book "Breeding the Racehorse" was published in 1958. He wrote, "besides the material contribution of rational feed, fresh air, freedom, and exercise which all make up the best conditions for raising a good athlete, I can see three factors which contribute to his development: 1) – inbreeding, 2) - "Nicks", or the almost constantly successful matching of certain bloodlines, 3) – Selection of the best quality of stock".
Inbreeding. "Although we cannot reduce the number of a horse's ancestors, we can select his parents in such a way that one particular ancestor will occupy more than one place in his pedigree, thus ensuring a greater probability that certain desired characteristics will be inherited. Inbreeding is the surest way of obtaining this result, by reducing the number of different ancestors and thereby making it easier to fix or establish their characters. In fact the best form of inbreeding from this point of view is that between twin brothers and sisters". In fact, when Tesio wrote his book he had calculated "so all thoroughbreds in the world today are directly descended from three stallions and about 42 mares".
Nicks. "It is an interesting fact that every now and again two particular strains are found to give their best results when crossed with each other. Generally, this is first discovered by chance, then other breeders follow up the initial success until that particular cross becomes the fashion." A current example is Metallic Cat X Sweet Abra. An older example is Doc Bar x Poco Lena who produced Doc Olena and Dry Doc - both NCHA Futurity Winners.
Selection "is the element which has made the greatest contribution to developing the breed of the thoroughbred. The simple peasant has always reasoned as follows: good with good gives good – bad with bad gives bad – good with bad gives half and half. Likewise breeders, as soon as they could do so, discarded the inferior horses and kept only the best for breeding. The winning horses were kept for breeding, the rest were discarded. Without ignoring it entirely, less attention was paid to the appearance of bone and muscles and more to the order of finish". Examples of Superior Matriarchs: Royal Blue Boon, Autumn Boon, Playboys Ruby, and The Smart Look. Another Superior Matriarch is Stylish Play Lena who produced siblings who were all successful: Hottish, Copperish, Smooth Talkin Style, Pepto Boom, Halreycious, Reydiculous, Reydioactive.

Pressure Washing a Garage Floor
How to Restore Your Clean Garage Floor
Every spring, homeowners set out to pressure wash their garage floors. However, a summer-long onslaught of spider webs, oil stains and dried leaves can turn any garage into a grease-caked dirt haven.
To restore your garage floor its previous glory, all you need is a good quality pressure washer, some degreaser detergent, and a little know-how. We'll start off with the know-how, and then we'll point you to where you can find the rest.
Be Cautious of Hazards
Pressure washer are powerful tools, and you exercise caution when using them. Wear steel-toed boots if possible, or at the very least closed-toe shoes. Since you'll be aiming highly-pressurized water at the floor near your feet, the last thing you want to do is slice through your toes.
Also, be extremely careful using a gas-powered pressure washer in a garage. They emit odorless and deadly carbon monoxide gas. Make sure you always place the pressure washer unit outside of the garage in a well-ventilated area where the fumes can vent away from you.
Apply Detergent
After you've moved your stuff off the floor, your natural reaction may be to start sweeping it with a broom. Don't! You can skip this step if you manage things correctly.
Spray the floor with either a heavy-duty degreaser or a concrete cleaner first. By applying the soap and water combination under low pressure, you'll prevent the dust from flying into the air when rinsing under high pressure.
Use a Pressure Washer Brush
Don't be in a hurry to rinse. Give the solution time to work. You can sweep the larger particles outside by simply attaching a floor brush to your pressure washer wand.
In addition to removing the bigger particles, the foaming bristles also work the detergent into the deeper stains.
Spray It Clean
Now comes the fun part. Switch to high pressure and start spraying. Start from the back of the garage and gradually push the dirty water outside.
You don't have to flood your garage to get it clean. Pressure washers use 80% less water than a garden hose. The high pressure will force the majority of the water outside.
Make Your Finishing Touches
If you want to keep the water from splashing on your drywall, consider getting a surface cleaner. These revolutionary products use spinning jets contained within a housing to giving it a uniform streak-free shine. If you want your floor to be squeaky clean, Use a squeegee to remove the remaining water.

Jimmy Nguyen, the CEO of nChain, recently spoke about the truth and consequences of Bitcoin Cash [BCH] hash war between the miners voting between Bitcoin Cash SV and Bitcoin Cash ABC. He began the talk by stating that the hash burst which took place in the network from Bitcoin Cash ABC's side was rented or subsidized from the BTC network.
This, according to him, was done 'in order to artificially boost the support for Bitcoin Cash ABC far higher than it had ever been in the days and weeks leading up to the hard fork'.
Jimmy further explained why nChain did not bring more hash to support Bitcoin Cash SV. Though the team had access to thousands of petahash worth of support for Bitcoin Cash SV, they decided not to go with it to avoid the consequences it would have in the future for the Bitcoin Cash community.
According to him, it is hypocrisy to move hash for a day or two from the rival network that most of the community do not like, and use that to claim victory. Jimmy said:
"The whole reason that such hash was available on the BTC network to move onto BCH is because the people who should have fought Bitcoin Core did not, and splintered off to create the Bitcoin Cash network, and allowed BTC to continue on. That's perfectly fine. But now they're borrowing hash, renting it, subsidizing it from the very network they so vehemently oppose many of them to try and claim a victory on the BCH network."
It is important to think about the governing model when there are disagreements. When the Nakamoto Consensus was written in the Bitcoin whitepaper, there was supposed to be only one Bitcoin network. Bitcoin Network has its magic in its economic incentives. Currently, the Nakamoto Consensus is being tested for the first time, he added.
Jimmy said:
"Satoshi Nakamoto could not have envisioned, at the time the white paper was written, that there was going to be some splintered-off network using the same hash algorithm. And with the idea of one CPU equals one vote, or miner hash power equals the vote, it was designed."
He also said:
"I'm sure most logical people can agree with it to recognize that the people who have an ongoing continuous invested interest in the network are the ones that should vote on a rule set."
The ABC supporters have been very quick to declare that they are the winners in this hash was by moving BTC hash by Bitmain and other sources. However, nChain's Craig Wright and Coingeek's Calvin Ayre is taking an alternate path to achieve genuine and legitimate sustained hash that supports the network, said Jimmy Nguyen.
He added:
"And that is why, if you notice, over the days leading up to the hard fork., the CoinGeek, SVPool, and BMG pools started gradually increasing the hash they were devoting to the network."
The post Bitcoin Cash ABC's hash burst was rented from Bitcoin [BTC] network, says nChain's CEO appeared first on AMBCrypto.

Stocks slump broadly as expanded US-China tariffs kick in
Technology companies drove a broad slide in U.S. stocks Tuesday as disappointing economic data and the latest escalation in the trade war between the U.S. and China put investors in a selling mood.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average slumped more than 300 points as the market gave back some of its gains from last week. The S&P 500 snapped a string of four straight weekly declines last week, but still ended August with its first monthly loss since May.
The sell-off came as markets opened after a long weekend to expanded tariffs between Washington and Beijing.
On Sunday, the U.S. started charging a 15% tariff on about $112 billion of Chinese products. China responded by charging tariffs of 10% and 5% on a list of American goods.
Technology companies accounted for much of the decline. The sector is particularly sensitive to swings in trade relations with China and tariffs have the potential to drive up costs for gadget and chipmakers. Apple, which relies on China as a key part of its supply chain, fell 1.6%, while chipmaker Nvidia dropped 2.2%.
Industrial stocks were among the biggest decliners. Caterpillar, which is seen as an industry bellwether when it comes to the impact of trade, fell 1.9%.
Oil prices dropped 2.1%, dragging down share prices for energy stocks. Chevron slid 1.5%.
Investors fled to safer holdings, including utility stocks, bonds and gold.
Utilities held up well, as did with makers of consumer products such as Procter & Gamble, which added 0.6%. The price of gold climbed 1.7%. Gold producer Newmont Goldcorp also gained 1.2%.
Bond prices rose, sending yields lower. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 1.47% from 1.50% late Friday. The lower bond yields weighed on banks. Bank of America lost 1.9%.
The surge in demand for U.S. government bonds came as new U.S. manufacturing data stoked fears of an economic slowdown. Factory activity in the U.S. last month fell short of economists' forecasts and shrank for the first time since August 2016. Businesses are increasingly wary of investing and expanding because of uncertainty surrounding the U.S.-China trade dispute.
KEEPING SCORE: The S&P 500 was down 0.8% as of 3:18 p.m. Eastern Time. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 305 points, or 1.2%, to 26,098. The average was briefly down 425 points.
The Nasdaq fell 1.2%. Smaller company stocks also fell sharply, sending the Russell 2000 index down 1.7%.
Major indexes in Europe fell broadly.
TRADE WAR EXPANDS: The latest escalation in the lingering trade war has been expected since early August when the U.S. announced plans for the new tariff measures, prompting China to retaliate. The worsening trade situation between the world's two largest economies dragged the S&P 500 to its second monthly loss of the year in August and dented investors' confidence in global economic growth.
The U.S. and China are supposed to meet in September to continue trade negotiations, but investors have grown pessimistic that any resolution will be forthcoming in the near future.
ECONOMIC RED FLAG: The Institute for Supply Management, an association of purchasing managers, said Tuesday that its manufacturing index slid to 49.1 last month, from 51.2 in July. Any reading below 50 signals a contraction. That's the lowest for the index since January 2016.
A global softening in demand, worsened by the increasingly high-risk trade war between the U.S. and China, appears to be hurting American manufacturers. More than half of the public comments from companies surveyed by ISM pointed to economic uncertainty as a drag on their businesses.
Investors have been worried that the trade war and a slowing global economy could tip the U.S. into a recession. The bond market has been reflecting these fears, with long-term bond yields falling below short-term ones, a so-called inversion in the U.S. yield curve that has correctly predicted previous recessions.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury has been hovering near or below that of the 2-year Treasury yield, which on Tuesday dropped to 1.47% from 1.49% late Friday.
BRITAIN AND BORIS: European stocks fell and the British pound dropped to its lowest level against the U.S. dollar in 34 years, excluding a brief "flash crash" in 2016 that may have been caused by technical glitches, as the U.K. faces a potentially chaotic exit from the European Union.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson's office said he would call an early election if his opponents pass legislation that would block his plans to leave the European Union by an Oct. 31 deadline.
PROS FOR CONN'S: Conn's jumped 18.2% after the furniture and electronics retailer blew past Wall Street's second quarter profit forecasts. The company also topped analysts' revenue expectations.
DELAYED FLIGHT: Boeing dropped 2.7% after United Airlines and American Airlines took steps to delay until December the expected return of Boeing 737 Max jets.

Agra has been battling through bovine and simian threats since last 5 years. But in recent times, it seems that the canine threat has taken precedence over. With the city overflowing with increasing stray dog population, the stray dog bites cases have increased drastically as well.
With Agra being one of the most visited places in the world for Taj Mahal, it sees over 8 Million tourists visiting the city on an annual basis. While city people are welcoming, Agra's stray dogs are not as much for the tourists visiting the city.
There have been over 2000 cases reported where stray dogs have bitten the tourists around the Taj Mahal area and nearby Fatehpur Sikri complex.
Recently, stray dogs made their way inside Taj Mahal and caused problems for the tourists and the staff. A video of stray dogs taking a stroll inside Taj lawns went viral over social media. The video garnered a lot of criticism from local people and netizens across India.
The news comes at a time when there are over 150 dog bites cases reported in the city on a daily basis. Tourism Guild Association secretary, Rajiv Saxena blamed the officials for stray dogs inside the Taj premises. He further said,
"I am deeply hurt, as the symbol and icon of the Indian tourism is being allowed to be thronged by dogs."
"It is also the matter of tourists' safety, who spend huge amount of money to see the world heritage monument," said Sandip Arora, a hotelier in Taj Ganj.
Previously there have been reports of tourists being bitten by Simians inside the monument and now stray dogs are scaring the tourists away.
At DogExpress, we keep striving to be the best dog website in India and we will continue to bring daily dog news updates for you. Please share your thoughts on our continued dog news coverage and feedback.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Customer Reviews
I am still brining my farm fresh cheese
Fresh Cheese Making Kit
Great for us beginners...first batch was WONDERFUL!
I'm a cream cheese-making fool now, thanks to this kit!
I purchased the Fresh Cheese Making Kit, and have made 3 batches of cheese: mascarpone, cottage cheese and ricotta. The first batch I followed the directions to the letter. Since I use raw Jersey cow milk and cream, I found the curds too firm with the calcium chloride, I left it out of the other batches, and had excellent results. I have already recommended this kit to some of my friends eager to make their own cheese at home.

Most games are either lookers or screamers. That's to say, companies either go hog-wild creating beautiful, cinematic cut scenes and neglect the mechanics of performance, or they create games that run at 30 frames per second but look like Plan 9 from Outer Space. Not so with Wipeout, a driving game that artfully balances function and form.
Before you say "Not another futuristic racing game!" you owe it to yourself to check this out. The look of Wipeout owes much to England's Designers Republic, the enfant terrible of pop culture graphic design. Best known for creating compulsively detailed, psycho-sci-fi record covers for the likes of Pop Will Eat Itself and Warp Records, DR was enlisted to create team logos, game graphics, and packaging (not to mention a series of highly desirable promo T-shirts). The net result is as close to a work of art as you're likely to see in a videogame. Wipeout looks so cool you'd think DR designed the whole game all the more power to those who did.
The gameplay is akin to tearing down a mammoth ski slope, flying around monster banked turns stomach churning, palms a-sweating. In gamespeak this is a good thing. The sensation of extreme speed and serious Gs is exceptionally convincing (read: you can't stop your head from bobbing back and forth while playing). Racing options include solo time trials through each of the six tracks, a one-player championship series against three other teams, a network multiplayer for up to eight in the PC version, and two-player head-to-heads using two TVs, two PlayStations, and the linkup cable for the PlayStation version. (Head-to-head play is such a blast that I've been known to pack our 35-inch TV into the car at a moment's notice.) You can pick up weapons to slow down your opponents and powerups to make you go faster. Nobody dies in Wipeout, so it's fun in a PC sort of way. The learning curve can be gradual, so prepare for some incredibly depressing race times the first few outings. Pay close attention to the performance specs of each team's craft: they really do matter. One hint: choosing a tight turning radius and nixing the air brakes will greatly increase your odds for success.

While there are many kinds of trees and shrubs
that require a lot of water, I think a good rule
of thumb seems to be that plants whose natural
habitats provide them with a large amount of water
usually use a lot of water. That said, many
tropical plants require large amounts of water,
whereas desert plants, such as cacti are able to
thrive on minimal or infrequent amounts of water.
Plants take up more water the faster they are
trying to grow. In general, plants that normally
grow in wet environments are made to grow faster
and use more water than plants that live in dry
environments, but there are exceptions.

An elegant watch for world travellers, the Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller Ref. 326935, in 18ct Everose gold with dark rhodium dial, is a compelling timepiece of revolutionary design.
Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller Ref. 326935
Rolex is introducing the Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller Ref. 326935, its classic watch for world travellers, in 18ct Everose gold. The dial feature rectangular index hour markers and longer hands, as well as a Chromalight display with long-lasting luminescence, which enhances legibility.
An elegant watch for world travellers, the Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller is a compelling timepiece of revolutionary design that blends to perfection technological sophistication and ease of use. A technological masterpiece protected by 11 patents, the Sky-Dweller provides, in an unprecedented and highly original way, the information global travellers need to easily keep track of time. It includes a dual time zone, with local time read via centre hands and a reference time display in a 24-hour format read via a rotating off-centre disc on the dial; a particularly innovative annual calendar named Saros – after the astronomical phenomenon of the same name – that displays the date at 3 o'clock and the month via 12 apertures around the circumference of the dial, and requires only one date adjustment a year, when the month changes from February to March.
Everose gold
Rolex gold is like no other. It is made of only the purest metals, meticulously inspected in an in-house laboratory with state-of-the-art equipment. These metals are alloyed by fusion in a crucible at over 1,000 °C, according to closely guarded formulas to produce the 18 ct yellow, white and Everose gold alloys specific to Rolex.
To preserve the beauty of its pink gold watches, Rolex created and patented a new alloy that it casts in its own foundry: Everose gold, which owes its unique colour – a pink hue unlike any other – to its composition. Introduced in 2005, it is used on all Rolex pink gold watches, as well as on a special blend of materials, the Everose Rolesor.
Dark Rhodium dial
The dial is the distinctive face of a Rolex watch, the feature most responsible for its identity and readability. Characterised by hour markers fashioned from 18 ct gold to prevent tarnishing, every Rolex dial is designed and manufactured in-house, largely by hand to ensure perfection.
A fixed inverted red triangle on the dial points to the chosen reference time – the time at home or at the traveller's usual workplace – on the off-centre 24-hour disc. At a glance, this 24-hour display clearly distinguishes daytime hours from night-time hours in the other time zone.
Oyster bracelet
The Sky-Dweller Ref. 326935 is fitted on a solid-link Oyster bracelet in Oystersteel. The Oyster bracelet benefits from the new concealed attachment system beneath the bezel which ensures seamless visual continuity between the bracelet and case. It is equipped with a folding Oysterclasp and also features the ingenious Rolex-patented Easylink rapid extension system that allows the wearer to easily increase the bracelet length by approximately 5 mm, for additional comfort in any circumstance.
9001 movement
The Sky-Dweller Ref. 326935 is equipped with calibre 9001, a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. Protected by seven patents, it is one of the most complex calibres ever developed by the brand. Its architecture, manufacturing quality and innovative features make it singularly precise and reliable.
Dual Time Zone
The two time zones are displayed simultaneously. Local time is indicated by the conventional centre hour, minute and seconds hands. It can be set quickly and easily by means of a mechanism that allows the hour hand to be adjusted independently in one-hour increments both forwards and backwards. Neither the minute and seconds nor the reference time in the second time zone are affected. And, since the watch is not stopped, accuracy is preserved. Reference time in the traveller's usual place of residence or work is read on a rotating off-centre disc. A fixed inverted red triangle points to the wearer's chosen reference time. The disc's 24-hour display allows travellers to clearly distinguish daytime hours from night-time hours in the distant time zone (for example, 10 p.m. versus 10 a.m.). The date change is linked to local time and occurs within a few milliseconds at midnight. So the date displayed in the aperture is always the current date in the wearer's local time zone.
Sky-Dweller – Superlative Chronometer
Like all Rolex watches, each Sky-Dweller is certified as a Superlative Chronometer. This exclusive designation attests that it has successfully undergone a series of tests conducted by Rolex in its own laboratories and according to its own criteria, which exceed watchmaking norms and standards. These tests are carried out on the fully assembled watch, in order to guarantee its superlative performance on the wrist.
The Superlative Chronometer status is symbolized by the green seal that comes with every Rolex watch and is coupled with an international five-year guarantee.
Mamić boutique in Zagreb is proud to be part of the worldwide network of Official Rolex Retailers, allowed to sell and maintain Rolex watches. We certify the authenticity of your new Rolex and back its five-year international guarantee with necessary skills, technical know-how and special equipment.
Contact us to book an appointment with our dedicated staff, who can help you make the choice that will last a lifetime.

Course Syllabus
Course Overview:
This course is intended as a foundational course for electrical engineers, and it will cover material related to linear algebra (linearity; vector spaces; matrices; norms), continuous time linear signals and systems (basic signals including impulses, pulses, and unit steps; periodic signals; convolution; Fourier series and transforms), discrete time signals and systems, (impulse response; convolution; Z-transforms; discrete time Fourier analysis), vector calculus (algebraic and differential operations including gradient, divergence and Laplacian), control theory (linearization; state-space representation; controllability and observability), and probability and stochastic processes (basic axioms of probability models, conditional probabilities and independence, discrete and continuous random variables, multiple random variables, models of stochastic processes, Gaussian processes). Lectures will be organized as a combination of theory, programming and simulation tasks, and in-class activities, focusing on real-life examples.
Course Progression:
The following is the tentative class progression covering the 11 weeks of the course. The class will meet once a week on Wednesdays from 6:00-9:00pm.
Week 1: Course overview. Linear algebra review. Matlab.
Week 2: Continuous time linear signals and systems I.
Week 3: Continuous time linear signals and systems II.
Week 4: Continuous time linear signals and systems III.
Week 5: Discrete time linear signals and systems I.
Week 6: Discrete time linear signals and systems II.
Week 7: Introduction to C.
Week 8: Vector calculus.
Week 9: Introduction to control theory.
Week 10: Probability and stochastic processes I.
Week 11: Probability and stochastic process II.
Finals week: Final exam due.
About the Course:
The course will consist of homework assignments, simulation/programming assignments, in-class activities and a final exam.
Homework assignments:
There will be up to eight homework assignments in this course. The assignments will be a mix of written questions and computer-aided problems. While these computer-aided problems may be designed with a specific programming language/tool in mind, you are welcome to code them up using any software tool you prefer. You should, however, submit all your code and simulation models with your homework.
Simulation/programming assignments:
Simulation/programming assignments are an important part of this course, as they are expected to give you a hands-on experience with Matlab and C programming language. There will be up to four assignments through the quarter, and you will have at least two weeks to work on those assignments. You are encouraged to work in groups of two persons, but if you prefer, you can work on those assignments individually.
Each simulation/programming assignment will be graded based upon deliverables, which will be defined in each individual assignment.
In-class activities/quizzes:
In-class activities are just that – activities done in class. Occasionally, worksheets will be handed out in class, and will be used to review class material and facilitate discussion. Please be sure to write your name and the date of each activity when you turn it in, since in-class activities will be graded on a scale 0-2, where:
- 0 means missed or irrelevant in-class activity,
- 1 means relevant answers submitted, and
- 2 means good and interesting answers submitted, and/or interesting discussion in
There could possibly be an in-class activity every week of the quarter, but we will take five best scores when determining your grade.
Final exam:
There will be one take-home final exam in this course. The exam will be assigned in the last week of classes (the week of December 7), and you will have a week to work on it. This exam is intended to represent your understanding of the subject matter; therefore you are required to take the exam completely alone.
You may contact the instructor or the TA (via email) with questions related to the exam, but you should not discuss the exam with other persons.
Similarly, you may use any publicly available material, including course material, books, or the internet, but you should not submit exam-related questions to internet discussion groups. If you find a solution in a book or online, please cite it in your submission and do not copy it word-by-word, but make changes which demonstrate you understand what you are writing. Otherwise we may not accept it.
Finally, please try to make an effort to make your all submissions clear and readable, and submit your code separately, with comments and explanations. Even if the final result is wrong, the code may allow us to find the bug and award partial credit.
Your grade in this course will be based upon homework assignments, simulation/programming assignments, midterms and in-class activities. The expected grade breakdown is:
- Homework – 50%
- Simulation/programming assignments – 30%
- In-class activities – 5%
- Final exam – 15%
Course Material:
The textbook for this course is Signals and Systems, by Oppenheim, Willsky and Hamid.
There are, however, many book and references that you might find useful. Some resources that you may want to consider include:
- Seymour Lipschuts and Marc Lipson, Schaum's Outline of Linear Algebra, 5th Edition
- Hwei Hsu, Schaum's Outline of Signals and Systems, 3rd Edition,
- Moson Hayes, Schaum's Outline of Digital Signal Processing, 2nd Edition,
- Chi-Tsong Chen, Linear Systems, Theory and Design, 4th Edition,
- Leon-Garcia, Probability, Statistics, and Random Processes For Electrical Engineering, 3rd Edition
Course Policies:
Collaboration: In this course, we want you to learn from each other. Therefore, you are allowed (and encouraged) to talk to your classmates and other students about all course assignments. You may also consult outside reference materials, or the instructor. However, all material that you decide to turn in should reflect your own understanding of the subject matter at the time of writing. If you work with someone else on any assignment, please include their names on the material that you turn in.
Assignment Turn-in: Please, do not use email for assignment submissions. Instead, please turn your homework and your simulation/programming assignments using the course dropbox.
Late Assignment Turn-in: All assignments are due by 6:00pm on an assigned Saturday, but we understand that you may have to sometimes turn them in late. The grading penalty is 20% of the grade that you would otherwise receive for each day, or part of the day, that you are late. No submissions will be accepted after 5 days.
Checking grades: Grades will be posted to the course gradebook.
The syllabus page shows a table-oriented view of the course schedule, and the basics of course grading. You can add any other comments, notes, or thoughts you have about the course structure, course policies or anything else.

Forty of us spent a great weekend at the Windmill Centre in Arbroath. We managed a good balance of activities and time to hang out. We freaked a few out with Chinese lanterns, and Windmill may well write a new clause in their regulations, but they were beautiful to watch. A few crazy games led to whole lot of laughter and a few wonderful pictures. Crafts, walks, games, cake and fruit and fruit and cake!
We did a lot of thinking and praying through Isaiah 55, a fantastic chapter of encouragement. "You shall go out with joy and be led forth in peace." Our circumstances may tell us one thing but our heavenly father tells us clearly we have joy and peace in him.

All the way from New Zealand (via Scotland) The Frank Burkitt Band will play Folk in the Foyer, Bromyard tomorrow, Friday, June 14.
Following four months of shows in the antipodes, where they were announced as winners of the Vodafone NZ Music Award for Best Folk Artist 2019, the band come to Bromyard as part of their six week tour of the UK.
Frank Burkitt is really looking forward to playing Folk in the Foyer: "As a band we're really looking forward to playing our debut show in Bromyard this June. Since releasing our album Raconteur at the end of 2018, we've been playing to audiences across Australia and New Zealand where we've been blown away by the positive response our new material has received from fans old and new."
The band promise a set of American roots music infused with folk, blues, country and a sprinkling of swing. Unique and profound songwriting arranged with precision and creativity, and the addition of Frank's rambling anecdotes.
They will be joined on their travels by Becka Wolfe who will be adding sumptuous fiddle and vocal harmony to the band's songs as well as singing her own songs in Arabic, French and English.
Originally from Edinburgh, Frank Burkitt and lifelong partner Kara Filbey swapped a life of late-night music and Scottish pubs for Wellington, New Zealand in 2014. After placing an ad for a double bass player on a noticeboard in the NZ School of Music, James Geluk (double bass) answered the call followed swiftly by Cameron Burnell (mandolin, tenor banjo, vocals) and The Frank Burkitt Band was born.
Catch the band in Bromyard tomorrow at 7.30pm. To book, call the box office on 01885 488575 or visit conquest-theatre.co.uk

However, I have managed to circumvent this by installing a squid proxy server at work which runs very well. Now I can simply log on to the VPN to work (which has a 20mbit dedicated fibre) from home and then point my browser at the proxy and wham it runs amazingly well. Since work has uncapped international traffic and my ADSL2+ with Orcon is very fast for national traffic, I can watch streaming video etc any time of the day and it just humms along amazingly well.
My knowledge of Squid Proxy is pretty limited though, what I would now like to do is use a program like Proxifier to be able to run an online game through my VPN to work. For instance Age of Conan requires ports 7000-7100. But try as I may to get this to work, I fail.
Is this a simple thing to set up? Can anyone help? Is it just a matter of configuring squid.cfg correctly?

COLLIERVILLE, Tenn. — Collierville police are searching for a man wanted in a vicious attack over the weekend.
The victim said he was at the Shell gas station in the 100 block of East Highway 72 on Saturday when an unknown man approached him asking for money. The man told him no and that's when the suspect attacked, police said.
He pulled out a baseball bat and attacked the man. The victim is expected to be okay.
Collierville police have not been able to identify the attacker, but they are hoping someone will recognize him from the surveillance photos. If you know him, call police at (901) 457-2520.
This is the third baseball bat attack WREG has reported on in the past month.
Neil Wadlington told Stacy Jacobson he was riding his bike on Madison Avenue in Midtown when someone got out of a car and attacked him.
"I was just riding along. And the next thing I know, there are bystanders over me waking me up off the sidewalk in a pool of blood," he said. "One bystander said, 'A guy got out of the car and hit you with a bat.'"
The attack left him with serious injuries to his entire face, including a broken nose, cheekbone and tooth.
Phillip Jones said he was walking home from a friend's house on Cowden when his attack happened.
In both cases, the attackers did not steal anything.
It's unclear if any of the crimes are connected. If you know anything, call Crime Stoppers at (901) 528-CASH.

Court of Appeals of Utah
September 8, 2017
State of Utah, Appellee,v.Carl Mack Courtney, Appellant.
District Court, Ogden Department The Honorable Michael D.
DiReda No. 131900508
Adams, Attorney for Appellant
D. Reyes and Tera J. Peterson, Attorneys for Appellee
Gregory K. Orme authored this Opinion, in which Judges J.
Frederic Voros Jr. and Michele M. Christiansen concurred.
Defendant Carl Mack Courtney was convicted of drug possession
with intent to distribute and possession of drug
paraphernalia. He appeals both convictions, arguing that the
trial court abused its discretion by admitting impermissible
character evidence and that he was denied his right to the
effective assistance of counsel. We conclude that, even in
the absence of the errors Defendant ascribes to the trial
court and his trial attorney, the jury would not have
returned a different verdict. Accordingly, we affirm.
On the morning of August 26, 2010, a police officer was
patrolling the parking lot of an Ogden apartment complex when
he noticed a man wandering the lot, "looking in and
around vehicles." The officer decided to investigate, as
several vehicle burglaries had recently been reported in the
area. The officer asked the man "what was going
on." Defendant responded that he was looking for a lost
child, but-oddly-he declined the officer's offer to
assist in the search. Defendant's pupils were dilated,
and he appeared "nervous" and "very
fidgety." At the officer's request, Defendant
provided identification and permitted the officer to search
his person.
During the search, the officer found several items that
convinced him he had probable cause to arrest Defendant. The
officer found approximately "60 small Ziploc plastic
baggies" and a four- to five-inch pocket knife in
Defendant's left-front pants pocket. He also found a
sheet of paper containing a list of names and dollar amounts,
which ranged between $40 and $300. The officer recognized
some of the names on the sheet-among them, "Half Pint,
" "Truck, " and "Pops"-as belonging
to individuals he had dealt with during previous narcotics
investigations. He would later testify that the paper
appeared to be an "owe sheet" and that he knew from
his training and experience that distributors of narcotics
often used such lists to keep track of "who owes you
After he was taken into custody, Defendant requested that his
then-girlfriend be informed of his arrest. The girlfriend,
who resided at the apartment complex where the arrest took
place, was watching Defendant's daughter at the time. She
would need to be informed that Defendant would not be driving
his daughter to her first day of kindergarten that morning.
The officer agreed to inform the girlfriend of the situation
and called for backup to assist him. When backup arrived, the
officer left Defendant in the custody of another police
officer while he and a third officer proceeded to meet with
the girlfriend. After assuring the officers that she would
get Defendant's daughter to school on time, the
girlfriend agreed to answer their questions about Defendant.
She told them that Defendant had borrowed her car the day
before and that he had driven it back to her apartment
earlier that morning. She then agreed to allow the officers
to search the car.
Inside the car the officers found a "black zip-up
pouch" resting on top of a "blue and black zip-up
sweatshirt." Inside the pouch they found a
"hypodermic needle" and a "plastic baggy
containing a white crystal substance, " which the Utah
State Crime Lab later confirmed to be methamphetamine. The
officer later testified that the girlfriend, without being
told of the contents of the pouch, informed him that the
pouch belonged to Defendant and that she had seen him
carrying his identification in it a few days earlier. Both
the officer and the girlfriend testified that the car doors
were locked and the windows were rolled up just before the
The officers questioned Defendant regarding what they had
discovered in the vehicle. Defendant confirmed that he had
driven the girlfriend's car to her apartment that
morning, that he had been the only one inside the car, and
that he kept a sweatshirt in the car like the one on which
the pouch had been found. He denied, however, that the pouch
and its contents were his. He also told them that he used the
Ziploc baggies to store coins from his coin collection, but
the officers were unable to find any coins on Defendant's
person or in the car.[2]
At the jail, the booking officer conducted an inventory
search of Defendant's personal belongings. As was his
routine, the officer confiscated Defendant's cell phone,
intending to shut it off for storage. But before he could, a
text message "popped through." It read, "Are
you willing to trade glass for a computer that hasn't
been tweaked off of[?]"
The State charged Defendant with possession of a controlled
substance with intent to distribute and possession of drug
paraphernalia. The former is a second degree felony; the
latter is a class B misdemeanor. See Utah Code Ann.
§§ 58-37-8(1)(a)-(b), 58-37a-5(1) (LexisNexis
Prior to trial, the State filed notice of its intent to
introduce evidence that Defendant had been convicted of
distributing methamphetamine in 2012. That conviction, which
resulted from events that occurred after the events giving
rise to the convictions at issue in this case, [3] involved a
recorded sale of methamphetamine to a confidential informant
in the presence of an undercover officer.[4] The State sought
to introduce evidence of the events underlying that
conviction, arguing that the evidence would show
Defendant's "intent, " "any absence of
mistake or lack of accident, " and "any motive that
he would have for" possessing the methamphetamine.
Although the trial court stated that it did not want to
"spend an inordinate amount of time re-trying that other
case, " it said it would allow the State to introduce
"basic facts" relating to Defendant's
distribution conviction because it found the evidence
"extremely probative" and not overly prejudicial.
At trial, the officer explained to the jury that based on his
experience investigating narcotics crimes, the
methamphetamine he seized from the car amounted to a
"distribution quantity." The officer also testified
that narcotics dealers typically carry a weapon, such as the
knife Defendant had been carrying on the morning of his
arrest, to protect themselves against robbery. The officer
answered questions regarding the text message the booking
officer had discovered, explaining that "[g]lass is a
common reference to methamphetamine" and that
"tweaking" means "using meth." Finally,
he testified that baggies such as the ones Defendant had been
carrying are commonly used to package and distribute
The State also called the girlfriend to testify. She stated
that the methamphetamine the officer had found in her car did
not belong to her and that the sweatshirt and black pouch
both belonged to Defendant. Further, she stated that at
various times in the past she had seen Defendant store his
identification and Social Security card in the pouch, as well
as methamphetamine. She also testified that she had used
methamphetamine with Defendant, that Defendant had provided
the drug to her, and that she had seen Defendant sell the
drug ...
