What are Fog Lights?
What is a Fog Light?
Before getting into their function, we should probably cover what people are currently calling these things. "Fog light" is by far the most common name for this part, but they are also called "fog lamps", "driving lights" and "driving lamps". Some people say that the lights with yellow lenses are considered "fog" lights, and the ones with white or clear lenses are "driving" lights. However, that has not been our experience at 1A Auto. We believe the words "fog" and "driving" light (or "lamp" for that matter) are totally interchangeable no matter what the lens or bulb color is.
When it comes to their function, fog lights were put on the front of cars and trucks to help drivers see the road during fog, rain, and snowy conditions. They are mounted on the front of a car at a lower level than the headlights with the intention of lighting up the road as much as possible. The headlights light up the entire world in front of the vehicle, but the fog lights' main focus is the road itself.
When is a Replacement Fog / Driving Light Needed?
Replacement fog lights are needed whenever any of the ones on the vehicle have been damaged or are missing. As you can imagine, fog lights are subjected to the worst environments possible. Every puddle, rock, curb, snow pile, and rogue log can bring an untimely death to a fog/driving light.
Replacing Fog Lights
The degree of difficulty of replacing a fog light will always depend on the car or truck. Most are quite easy to replace with basic hand tools and a little bit of time. If it is your first time replacing something of this nature, though, it is incredibly helpful to have a service manual nearby for the step by step instructions.
Need Some New Fog / Driving Lights?
When it comes to replacement automotive fog lights and driving lights, 1A Auto has them all. We have more front lights than you can imagine, and we have them in stock. We use these fog lights on our own daily drivers, and we have absolute confidence in the fit, finish, and quality. If you have any questions about our replacement fog lights, warranty, compatibility, or to make a purchase, call our customer service toll free at 888-844-3393. We're here for you!

We don't want rats inside our home. And since you are reading this article, we assume that your place is somehow infested with rats and that you want them eliminated in your home and in your life. But before you try to eliminate them, it's best to understand why they are in your home in the first place. Below are some facts that you might need to know about rats and their behaviour:
- Rats have been spreading pandemics for centuries; one of the most known instances is the Black Plague. The Black Plague befell in Europe and killed large amounts of Europe's population in a matter of years. Thanks to advances in pest control methods, we can easily detect and prevent these pandemics today. For those who don't want to use rat poisons or mouse traps, the good news is that there are now humane methods in eliminating these pests.
- Records show that in the 20th century alone, 10 million+ people suffered from diseases carried out by rodents.
- Experts do not consider rats to be a major threat to our everyday life but we still need to be extra careful of potential threat of infectious diseases carried by these pests.
- Have you heard of the Black Death in the Dark Ages? It is believed that rats who sailed with traders are its cause. It seems that rats really have that desire to explore new environment as much as they can. The proof is that you can see them hitching a ride in cars, buses, airplanes, and other vehicles. As they travel, they carry harmful parasites and pathogens with them.
- Mites and ticks are some of the parasites carried by rats; these parasites carry pathogens that are potentially dangerous and lethal. Don't also forget that these rats are spreading germs and bacteria everywhere they go through their urine and feces. So, make sure you are keeping your home clean at all times, especially if you have children who are vulnerable to infectious diseases.
You have all the reasons to eliminate rats in your home but you cannot do it on your own. There are numerous Abu Dhabi pest control companies promising that they can solve your problems of rat infestation but the question is "do you know which one to trust?" Just click one of the two links of this article to learn more about the most trusted company when it comes to pest control for rats. We are looking forward to adding you to our long list of satisfied customers.

Sea level change: lessons from the geologic record
Fact Sheet 117-95
By: U.S. Geological Survey
- Document: Document
- Download citation as: RIS | Dublin Core
Rising sea level is potentially one of the most serious impacts of climatic change. Even a small sea level rise would have serious economic consequences because it would cause extensive damage to the world's coastal regions. Sea level can rise in the future because the ocean surface can expand due to warming and because polar ice sheets and mountain glaciers can melt, increasing the ocean's volume of water. Today, ice caps on Antarctica and Greenland contain 91 and 8 percent of the world's ice, respectively. The world's mountain glaciers together contain only about 1 percent. Melting all this ice would raise sea level about 80 meters. Although this extreme scenario is not expected, geologists know that sea level can rise and fall rapidly due to changing volume of ice on continents. For example, during the last ice age, about 18,000 years ago, continental ice sheets contained more than double the modem volume of ice. As ice sheets melted, sea level rose 2 to 3 meters per century, and possibly faster during certain times. During periods in which global climate was very warm, polar ice was reduced and sea level was higher than today.

What We Offer
Montgomery-Hobson Builders is an unlimited General Contractor in Charlotte, North Carolina specializing in building custom homes and providing renovations, additions and remodeling of residential homes, including high-end townhomes and condominiums. Deeply rooted in our community, we donate 10 percent of our proceeds to charitable causes and nonprofits in the neighborhoods we work in, including Queen's University, Alexander Youth Network and The Relatives.
Our focus centers on:
- Building and maintaining positive relationships
- Professionalism and courtesy
- High-end craftsmanship
- Directing custom home design and construction
- Detailed planning and scheduling to manage and maintain project progress
We begin and complete projects according to a written schedule. Our team uses commercial-grade scheduling software to manage our projects and keep customers abreast of each phase of construction.
We begin and finish projects on budget because nobody likes to spend more money than they planned on spending. The price we give you is the price you pay unless you make changes or we encounter unforeseen conditions.
We build the old-fashioned way. Our projects are built to last and maintain their attractiveness over time. This is true whether we are working on historic renovations or new construction. Our subcontractors are all small business owners and take great pride in the quality of their work. In fact, we frequently work with the Charlotte Historic District Commission to ensure our home renovations maintain the historic character of the original architecture while bringing them up to modern codes and building standards.
Montgomery-Hobson excels at bringing historic homes back to vibrancy. For starters, we have renovated the oldest duplex in Mecklenburg County (now a 5,000-square-foot single family home). Tucked away in the Elizabeth neighborhood, the structure was built in the early 1900s and has been remodeled into an efficient, single-family home. Our work can also be found in bustling uptown, smack in the middle of modern architecture. There we gutted the interior of a unit within The Ratcliffe Condos of Charlotte and rebuilt it from scratch.
From installing an Ipe, or Brazilian walnut, outdoor shower that's naturally resistant to weather and insects, to breathing life into decades-old hardwood floors, our work every day is exciting and new.

Chinese nuclear investment in Europe
China is rapidly becoming a global leader in nuclear power station development. It currently has 14 reactors in operation and a further 25 under development. But to smooth the way for nuclear development beyond its borders, Chinese companies need to build a reliable international project track record, preferably under a well respected western regulatory regime. E.ON and RWE's sale of the Horizon UK nuclear development consortium offers this opportunity. But there are some formidable regulatory hurdles to be overcome first.

As in the case of most other items sold by Freeman Liquidators, the cost is a factor in making lumber purchases. However, the quality of the wood should play a big part, as well. Finished or unfinished hardwood is an important consideration.
The biggest demand for lumber may be for hardwood floors. It is important to watch for problem products, which are common among mass produced manufacturers. When it comes to hardwood floors, stay away from bowed, cracked or twisted boards. Your installer will appreciate that.

What You Should Consider Before Participating In Crowdfunding
Crowdfunding is a way for artists, entrepreneurs, individuals, or companies, to raise money, so it is used in completing a project, disaster recovery, or paying for serious medical requirement.
An individual or group of people initiates the crowdfunding program, comes up with a goal and a deadline, and then markets the campaign to investors or potential backers. It is good that most fundraising websites give full information about their company, their purpose, objectives, and goals, but it is still necessary that you do additional research before contributing. Research the reasons why the company demands support. The reasons have to be substantial. Otherwise, you shouldn't participate. Always ensure that the situation stated is related to the company, or the online creator, and that it's worth contributing.
Besides, look at the type of the campaign. We have two major types of campaign- "all or nothing," and "flexible funding." While "all or nothing" only gives the contribution requested, "Flexible funding" goes beyond what is stated, and allows the creator to get all of the donations, regardless of whether or not the fundraising goal is attained. You should therefore scrutinize these two options, and perhaps choose to participate in the most suitable – the one you feel contented with.
Check the Time of Payment Before You Participate In Crowdfunding
Does the fundraising site charge your credit card immediately after putting a pledge? Are they quick into taking your money? In case you have some other tasks to accomplish with the money, don't go to companies that will immediately make a deduction. Instead, consider investing in companies that will give some allowance, so you make prior preparation, and of course, get ready for a deduction.
Apart from that, you should also consider the additional fees. Some websites impose additional fees to their backers. In one way or another, they creatively deduct extra amounts, and subsequently give excuses to make them understand it was relevant.
Don't pay the money blindly. It is your right to receive a substantial explanation on the same before you pay. Most fundraising sites charge their backers extra credit card processing fee.
Crowdfunding Rewards
Of course, it is human nature to give and take. No one wants to associate with non-profitable activities. Before you invest in any crowdfunding, inquire if you're entitled to any rewards. And if any, get a clear clarification of the total amounts. Most companies will let you order some of the products the company produces, in return, while others will give different rewards, depending on the amount you invested.
Moreover, ask for ownership control. After you've invested, do you have some control, or ownership stake in the project? And most essentially, are they able to refund the amount contributed. In case, the project is halted prematurely, or it fails to attain the intended goal?

An exhaust filter collects any vaporized oil or liquid from the air venting from a vacuum pump or gasoline engine. With many industrial machines, their raw exhaust should not be vented to a room or even outdoors because the air contains smoke or fumes. Installing an exhaust filter will help run a pump at better efficiency and conserve lubricating oil.
Under average circumstances, a pressurized pump will cause some oil to mist into a vapor and stay in the air. Machines under especially high-pressure or suffering from broken seals will atomize oil even more readily. The mist can get into employees' lungs or into the atmosphere as dangerous pollutants.
Many pumps, across a wide range of industries, handle other liquids such as volatile chemicals that can vaporize and cause similar problems. Therefore, experts in energy efficiency and pollution developed an exhaust filter that can remove tiny floating molecules of different substances, leaving the air safe to vent indoors or outside.
An exhaust filter isn't a fine paper mesh, like a household air filter, but contains a chamber of chemicals that force the misty oil to condense back into a liquid. These chemicals gradually become less effective so someone must replace the exhaust filter on a regular schedule to keep the air flowing smoothly.
There are two kinds of exhaust filter. The coalescing variety collects and recovers the precious liquid, usually oil, returning it to the pumping chamber so it can reach its destination. Even if a factory didn't need to clean the air, this filter could help them cut costs by wasting less petroleum.
To protect the health of employees, the capturing variety of exhaust filter condenses the liquid, usually a volatile chemical, and saves it in a receptacle called a hood. Then the solvent can be safely disposed as hazardous waste, rather than be allowed to contaminate the air, soil, or ground water.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

One Direction heart-throb Liam Payne is dating a stunning teenager he went to school with.
The 19-year-old is so smitten with Sophia Smith he flew her 5,000 miles from their home town Wolverhampton to Los Angles to be at his side.
Yesterday a pal of the singer said: "Liam has really fallen for her. It's getting very serious, very fast."
It is Liam's first romance since he split from long-term love Danielle Peazer, 24, in May.
He went to school with Sophia at St Peter's Collegiate School and they have recently been spotted partying at London's Funky Buddha club.
Last week Sophia flew out with Liam's mum Karen, dad Geoff and sisters Nicola and Ruth to visit the star as he and his bandmates performed at LA's Staples Centre for four sold out dates.
Sophia was seen watching the show last Friday in the band's VIP area, mingling with Little Mix popstar Perrie Edwards – dating Zayn Malik – and Louis Tomlinson's girlfriend Eleanor Calder.
Afterwards she went with him to a tattoo parlour.
Liam – briefly linked to popstar Leona Lewis – hinted in a recent interview at his blossoming relationship with Sophia, telling GQ magazine: "Groupies? We don't have time to party! I'm not even single. This sort of talk will get me in trouble."
But the band's group of die-hard fans, dubbed Directioners, have been bombarding Sophia's Twitter page with vile messages. One posted: "Back off you ****."
Following the outcry Sophia deleted all her Instagram pictures – including a snap of her and Liam pulling faces.
However a source close to the singer – who along with fellow 1D members Harry Styles, 19, Niall Horan, 19, Zayn, 20, and Louis, 21, have made more than £100million – revealed Sophia was perfect for him.
"She's a sweet normal girl who likes Liam for who he is, not because he's in the most famous boyband in the world," the source said.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 4 – Masters)
Topic: Christmas Carols/Carolling (10/02/08)
- TITLE: The Cherry Tree Carol
By Jan Ackerson
He married Virgin Mary, the Queen of Galilee
I weary of dreams and angels—I long for the days when simple carpentry imparted the simple pleasures of shavings and sweat. But Mary came to me some months ago with her wild tales of an angel and God's holy presence. Poor child, I thought, and began to ponder how I might break our engagement.
And then my own visitation—or was it a dream? That changed my mind, all right—still, I grimace when men snicker as Mary walks by. More than once I have heard the names they call her, and my defense of her sounds ridiculous even to my ears. Was it really an angel, or is that apparition simply the story of a frightened child who succumbed to a game of touch-me-touch-me-not? I wonder…
And one day as they went walking, all in the garden green
There were berries and cherries as thick as may be seen
Then Mary said to Joseph, so meek and so mild
"Joseph, gather me some cherries for I am with child"
It was a particularly foul mood that gripped me as I guided Mary through the orchards of Nahum, my curmudgeonly neighbor. I understand that women with child have particular cravings, but cherries are dear, and I had to promise Nahum a new door frame for just a small basket of cherries for Mary who—I am ashamed to say it—was waddling considerably. One cherry might render her immobile.
Yet Nahum's old tree was, I'll admit, full of fruit—so full that a cherry flung itself at my face as we walked by, and its rotting brothers reddened our sandals. I slipped a bit, and had to let go of Mary's elbow, and felt foolish.
Do you know the feeling of annoyance when you are in the presence of too much goodness? That is precisely what I felt when Mary steadied me, then said in her whispery voice, "Joseph, here is the basket. Dearest, can you fill it? The child I bear would be thankful for something sweet…"
Then Joseph flew in anger, in anger flew he
"Let the father of the baby gather cherries for thee"
I don't know what angered me the most—that little voice asking for cherries with such infernal humility, or her small hand lingering at my arm after my stumble on the rotting cherries—perhaps it was Nahum's smirk when I bartered for the sake of my pregnant fiancée. Without any attempt to suppress my hurtful words, I shook my arm free and bent my face to Mary's. "It's cherries you want? Let the babe's father gather them, then—if you know who he might be!"
Mary stepped away from me, her face pale and her mouth slightly open.
Then up spoke baby Jesus, from out Mary's womb
"Bow down ye tallest tree that my mother might have some"
How to describe the next moments? There was a voice, I tell you, a voice—seeming to come both from Mary's rounded belly and also from the heavens. It was not talking to me, however, but to the ancient tree, whose branches stilled in attention. Indeed, all of earth stopped to listen: the locusts fell silent, the wind dropped to the ground, even Nahum's scrawny cat paused while licking one cherry-besmirched paw.
And this is what the voice said—Cherry tree, my mother desires your fruit. Upper branches where the cherries are sweet—fill her basket, if you please!"
I swear it.
So bent down the tallest tree to touch Mary's hand
Said she, "Oh look now Joseph, I have cherries at command"
The tree creaked and bent, and you'd have laughed to see the willing cherries hopping merrily into Mary's basket! So many there were that soon she laughed and threw a hand to the heavens, and said stop, stop, there are too many here!
And I? I fell to my knees, staining my garment with blood-red juice. I had demanded that the babe's father gather the cherries, and the babe himself had commanded them. Who is the father of the baby, then? Why, he himself is his own father, is he not? I am an old man, but this simple truth seems as evident to me as the twin splotches on my robe.
When Joseph was an old man, an old man was he
He married Virgin Mary, the Queen of Galilee
Author's Note: There are many versions of "The Cherry Tree Carol", which dates as far back as the 15th century. Although it is obviously more traditional than Biblical, there is a lovely Biblical truth illustrated at its climax.

Personal Trainer in Paisley and Renfrew.
FIT4EVER means just that..........long term fitness/weight loss and well being.
The aim is to help clients achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle through nutrition, exercise and physical activity.
Working in the Paisley and Renfrew area, individualised personal training sessions will be provided in the clients home, workplace, gym environment or outdoors.
What are the best exercises for the "core" well research show's the most effective are not actually "core exercises". Deadlifts, squats and presses are far more effective, even when done with moderate weights.
When you exercise, you experience a high level of post exercise endorphins. Endorphins act as natural pain-relievers and produce a feeling of well being. Training outdoors has been associated with higher levels of these 'feel good' chemicals being produced in the body aswell as the benefits derived from being in the fresh air.
Once a week on your workout, try using functional body movements that you use every day Squat (get in or out of a chair), Deadlift (pick up an object from the ground), Shoulder Press (put an item on the top shelf).
Tomorrow is another day never give up
For breakfast choose cereals with no added sugar, for natural sugars you can add fresh or chopped fruit.
If you find it difficult to resist temptation, take it out of the kitchen, and save yourself hundreds of calories per week!
Dieting Advice: Fit-4ever recommends the 2 Q's - quality and quantity.
Eat quality fresh food and the quantity that is needed to fuel your daily calorie requirements.
Weight Loss happens when calories burned exceeds calories consumed.
When perfecting the deadlift technique, you mastered the correct way for lifting heavy objects from the ground. Lifting items in this manner ensures the load is evenly distributed between you back and legs, putting less strain on your back.
A strength training program will allow you to look better on the outside, and become healthier on the inside.
Don't skip breakfast, research shows that eating healthy breakfast can aid people control their weight. A healthy breakfast is an important part of a balanced diet, as it provides many of the vitamins and nutrients we need for good health. Wholemeal cereal and semi skimmed milk, with fruit sliced over the top is a tasty and nutritious breakfast.
Reduce processed meat consumption, limit to two serving per week, as it contains a high amount of saturated fat, you can still eat meat, but make sure you go for quality lean cuts, like lean steak or unprocessed chicken meat.
Lifting heavy weights, will burn more fat than a cv workout. Build muscle and your body will burn fat all day long.
Eating small healthy portions every few hours means your digestive system has no time to rest, and is constantly burning calories, therefore increasing your metabolic rate, leading to weight loss.

Your Friday Update & Party Invite!
Post by: beano150
Hello, Bin Weevils! It's beano150 here with your latest Friday update. So how has your week been? Mine has been EPIC! I got some really exciting news on Tuesday, too. I've been invited to the experience of a lifetime... The Beano Experience! This means I've been given access to a TOP SECRET London location where I'll take part in loads of activities true to Beano spirit. This includes a gunge tank, giant catapult, help power up the launch of the brand new Beano (yep, it's getting a makeover) and loads more! I'll try my best to get pictures and videos if allowed at the event to upload them on Twitter. However, I may not take my phone because one thing is guaranteed - I'm gonna get messy at the event and I don't want to ruin my phone!
As this event takes place in London, finishing at 5pm, I probably will not be back in time (due to long train journeys) to host my Sunday party. But fear not! There will still be a party on Saturday. Invite below!
The new Buddy Messenger - My Review!
Post by: beano150
Hello, Weevils. It's beano150 here with my review of the new Buddy Messenger. Please remember this post contains my personal opinions and I do not expect everyone to agree with them.
The new Buddy Messenger - what's new?
Rather than the original News Tablet which had just two features (blog notifications and messaging), this has been replaced with a phone-type gadget. Whilst the leaderboards and ignore list presently still remain on the old buddy list menu, everything else has moved to the new gadget. This includes the blog notifications, buddy messaging, buddy notifications and your buddy list. I will go through each feature in that order below, with my thoughts on each one.
Blog Notifications
The blog notifications display in a very similar way to the previous News Tablet. I like the way the blog listings are displayed, showcasing the latest big news in the Binscape.
Buddy Messages
With the new Buddy Messenger, you can chat to your buddies in real time. You can check the exact date and time of which a message was sent and received. Yellow messages are your received messages and purple messages are messages that you sent yourself.
Buddy Notifications
The buddy notifications appear similar to the way they did on the previous News Tablet. I think it is a good feature however one thing I would change is, if I didn't want my buddies knowing what I'm doing in the Binscape, I think there should be an option so my notifications do not appear in my buddies' menus.
The buddy list is new and improved! You can now search for buddies using the search bar (I have 9 spaces left so don't be offended if I say no) and clicking the search icon which looks like a magnifying glass in a blue circle. To message a buddy from the list click the white envelope with a + icon on it. If you wish to delete a buddy click the rubbish bin icon. A green circle means your buddy is online and a red circle means they are offline. A purple row with a tick and a cross is a pending request. Clicking the green tick adds them to your buddy list and clicking the red cross rejects their request. The clicking your buddy name on the list feature is due to return when Bin Weevils Connect is fully released, as are any other currently broken features, so don't worry about that.
Overall, I give this update a 5/5. I love it and I find it much better than the previous layout. I do believe this is going to be the design for the Bin Weevils Connect menus, too.
Thank you for reading my review, please feel free to comment your opinions below.

Your Party Invite!:
Post by: beano150
Hello, Bin Weevils! It's beano150 here with your latest Friday update.
How has your week been? I've had a decent week, which has been okay. Have you noticed the updated buddy messenger on Bin Weevils? I like it, it's cool. I especially like the fact you can message buddies as if you're on a social networking website now - in real time! The ability to view previously sent messages is just what we needed and the fact the team also extended the list to 100 buddies just shows they do listen to our ideas.
I hope you're looking forward to the weekend... because I am! Here's your latest (new style!) party invite, so I can't wait to see each and every one of you there:
Post by: beano150
Hello, Bin Weevils. It's beano150 here with my review on this month on Bin Weevils. Please remember this is an opinion post and you do not have to agree or disagree with what I state, everyone has their own opinions and you are of course, as everyone is, entitled to your own.
1 - Bin Weevils Connect
This app was announced for release in August and, even though it wasn't officially confirmed on the Weevil News Blog in August, it was released in that month. This app was initially said to be released on Google Play and iOS, however at present the app is only available on Google Play. I don't mind this because I have an Android device myself (which uses Google Play), and finally iOS users know what it's like to not be able to download an app they want.
Bin Weevils Connect rating - 5/5
2 - Furby Connect
This is a good event. I like the idea of a Furby gadget in-game, to notify you of latest Furby news. Go to Gong's Pipenest to collect a free Nest Item.
Admittedly, the small Furby gadget above the Weevil emoticon changer does slightly annoy me and might take a while to get used to. I feel this could have instead been an icon next to the special moves selector, perhaps on the left hand side of it? There is room there and it would not be as annoying or "in your face".
I would also like to have my say on this situation, where people have been saying Bin Weevils have "copied" Furby for calling the new buddy message app "Connect". I disagree on this, it isn't just Bin Weevils and Furby that have apps called "Connect". Many apps have the word "Connect" at the end of the app title, one app I used to play a few years ago on my first smartphone I got had it. Therefore, no copying has been involved here.
Furby Connect rating - 4/5
3 - Scribbles' Birthday
This is just one of the exciting events we see each year now, with exciting fun for players across the Binscape including celebrity meet 'n' greets, Scribbles' Big Birthday Bash and some cool new Scribbles Nest Items. I am interested to find out what the new items look like, and am glad we haven't been instantly shown them in the September highlights, so it makes it more exciting for when they are announced and released. Not only that, but you can also enter to win a Bin Tycoon Membership. There are 20 memberships to be given away, according to the highlights post. Nice!
Scribbles' Birthday rating - 5/5
4 - Summer Fair Last Chance
As September is here which means school reopens, that unfortunately means Summer ends and so does the Summer Fair.
You have until Monday, 12th September 2016 to visit the Summer Fair and collect all of the prizes if you haven't already. One thing I am hoping for is the double/triple ticket bonanza like previous years.
Summer Fair Last Chance rating - 5/5
5 - Talk Like A Pirate Day
Last year, we had pirate week with a team event which was cool. I'm hoping for another one of these this year, because they work well for interacting with players and put even more excitement into the Binscape. As long as we don't have to change our looks to specific colours or shapes etc just for a Nest invite or party access, that's fine by me. I am looking forward to this!
Talk Like A Pirate Day rating - 5/5
6 - Under The Sea Nest Items
I like the look of those featured Nest Items. I do not believe that is the entire set, because when a Nest Item set is released it usually consists of more than 6 items. I could be wrong but I think they could be released on Talk Like A Pirate Day - under the sea links with pirates, and notice how they included this beneath the Talk Like A Pirate Day section? However that could be just a coincidence. I guess we'll have to wait and find out.
Under The Sea Nest Items rating - 5/5
7 - Future-Worm
This is in my opinion, from the promotions this month (Furby Connect and Future-Worm), my favourite one so far. I'm not sure if the Furby Connect promotion has properly arrived in the Binscape yet, but for now I prefer Future-Worm. It includes Nest items to collect, a nice mission containing games, a quiz, a competition, and a special move.
Future-Worm rating - 5/5
Overall, this is one of the best months we have had in the Binscape in my opinion.
Please do feel free to comment on this post with what your favourite event is this month.
Thank you for reading this post!

Episode 1: The Victorian pharmacy opens its doors in 1837, at the height of the industrial revolution. Overcrowding, poor sanitation and poverty left many people vulnerable to disease, but Victorian medicine had only the haziest of ideas about what caused illness or how to treat it. Many of the cures the new Barber & Goodman Pharmacy will sell are based on traditional beliefs and remedies.
Episode 2: The team take on the challenges of the 1850s and 60s, a time when overcrowded and unsanitary living conditions had reached their peak, leading to unprecedented outbreaks of disease. "Cure all" medicines were all the rage and the team make their own out of rhubarb, licorice, soap and syrup. They also venture into the uncertain world of electrotherapy and make their own disinfectant by extracting carbolic acid from coal tar.
Episode 3: The pharmacy enters a period of new invention and new laws. Narcotics were freely available across the counter throughout the Victorian era. Arsenic was the most common poison and was everywhere in the Victorian home - in wallpaper, candles, fabrics and even sweets.
Episode 4: Tom branches out into photography and dentistry using the latest technology, such as the foot-pedal dental drill. Ruth makes condoms out of sheep's intestines. Nick learns how to make the Victorian version of aspirin - producing a cure for warts and corns along the way. And for those customers who like a little pampering, the team turn their hands to making their very own brand of perfume.
As they shut up shop for the last time, the team reflect on a revolution in public healthcare that put a chemist's shop in every town in the country.

Do you shop at thrift stores?
I do from time to time. Today I went to one that I hadn't been to before and it was a GIANT one. I got LOTS of clothes for Kyle and they were under $20 total. What a steal!
I used to do the children's resale stores all the time when the kids were little. I figured the play clothes were meant for just that!
All the time. Not clothes so much because I don't find much that fits me, but absolutely everything else I buy second hand if I can.
yes I love shopping at them, they just opened up a St. Vincent DePaul on the corner from me too!
@ Denise - I remember that St. Vincent DePaul would bring clothes to my family when I was a child.
Yes, I like to buy books most are brand new looking. As far as clothes I look for the 50% off color of the day.
I donate to the thrift stores as well. I remember years ago my daughter found a couple of items that we donated.
Yes, off and on and I donate regularly. Right now I would love to find a small bureau for my bedroom, one of those three drawer type and re-do it.

Brushless Monster Truck is a well designed free jigsaw flash puzzle game for kids. Like other Jigsaw Puzzles in this game first you need to choose the mode for you because there are 2 modes of playing this game. If you have practiced some Jigsaw games already them you can choose time mode and solve the puzzle in given time. But if you are new to these websites them choose the free mode, and play openly.
There are also 3 difficulty levels as well. Choose one if you are expert then Hard, if you are just started few days ago then choose Medium and if you are new then you can play it in easy difficulty level.

There are so many aspects about new parenthood which people tell you about; you heed advice from all corners of the world. However, there's one piece about having a baby which, I'm assuming to save you from the anticipation, people just don't talk about enough: how having a baby will change your relationship with your partner. Having a baby is world-changing, period. It's all consuming. It's like a tornado lands on your heart and sometimes you can hardly breathe. There are moments of total joy and bliss, and moments of amazing fear and worry. Moments of complete and utter frustration, and moments of peace and gratefulness. It's a rocky journey, especially those dreaded three months.
It hasn't been the easiest year, or so. Between all the fears of pregnancy, the diabetes, a new baby, my emotions, long nights...it's been tough, as it is for most new parents. But, he's been my constant source of strength. His belief in my decision making, mothering, and big life decisions, have been my rock and helped me feel a little less insane on during those totally not sane days.
Eric amazes me on a daily basis. His knowledge of music, let alone his ability to sit down and compose gorgeous, soul-shaking songs, his love for his, and my, family, his optimism. In the last five years, he has grown up, before my eyes, and I am so proud of the man he is. But, what amazes me most of all about Eric is how he has dealt with all of these changes and growth.
Relationships ebb and flow; there are times of utter bliss, and times of utter annoyance. Throwing a new baby into the mix makes all the highs higher, and all the lows lower. In those first few months, sometimes you worry that your rock-solid team is falling apart, because you feel like you're falling apart. On top of all that, bringing a new baby into your life brings amazing amounts of growth and maturing. It has been such a joy watching Eric morph from someone who rarely held a baby into a confident, funny, wise father.
One of the reasons I was always so glad I met Eric when I did was because we were relatively young when we met (in our mid-20s), and I love the idea of growing up with someone. Three years ago, on this day, as we stood before our family and friends, and Jenny married us, she said in our ceremony:
Marriage is the incubator of love, the protected environment in which a love that is personal and touching and real can grow and, as a consequence of that growth, develop in us our highest capabilities as loving human beings. We are each still and always growing, and when we marry, we promise not only our own growth, but also our willingness to witness and withstand the ongoing growth of another human being. That is because in marrying we promise to love not only as we feel right now, but also as we intend to feel.
And, that's exactly how I still feel. Being married to Eric, with his strength and love behind me all the time, has allowed me to grow as a woman, as a mother, and find my voice as a writer, which is something I've always wanted to do. He has given me a safe place to explore my dreams and take risks. I hope I'm always his safe place, too.
The lyric on the photo (which is from our wedding; it's the cake topper my step-father made for us!), is from a Gordon Lightfoot song, Go My Way, which was the first song Eric put on the first mix CD he ever made me. I knew, when I listened to that song, that he was signing on to be my co-captain for life, and I still feel so grateful every day that I get to navigate the sunny and stormy seas of life with him.

Though we have many attractive topwater lures available today, when it comes to fishing the thick stuff, not many lures are fish attractive, weedless and with a great hook up ratio at the same time like the Fat T Tail 13 cm rigged on Savage Gear 3D Crayfish Weedles Wide Gape Hook #7/0.
This shad works brilliantly on this hook. It is a perfect fit for both fast retrieve on the surface over the pads with tail churning surface and leaving bubble trail- pike cannot stand this retrieve!
On the pause the 7 gr tungsten weight is perfect for slow sink with awesome body and tail action. When rigging it is necessary to cut into the T tail belly so hook penetrates more easily on the hookset.
I had so many nice catches recently including a win on a recent Pike Masters tournament I organized and caught 8 fish durning the day all of which came on this very bait!
It is also great for skipping in the shade under the ovehang trees close where pike will often spend time in the shallow water.
The key with hook up ratio is to lower the rod and wait until you feel the weight of the fish, same as with bass fishing. Once they eat it, they do not let go….
I found that Custom Fast Shad 90 gr rod has enough power and perfet tip for working this bait…
I wrote an article on this weedless pike fishing I plan to spread across Europe and did a really nice video.
please take a look:

text: Yes, it's Kane again. This time with his resort-2011. Of course you can do no wrong with a theme such as space photoprints but still I like how he worked it out. Though there is a certain resemblance with his previous resort collection, this one is more intense. Clean silhouettes filled with splashes of colors, nebulae and constellations. Bold lines balanced with sophisticated texture combinations. The best pieces are shirt-dress and printed biker jacket, because of the cuts and stitches they look like a weird photoshop collages. And I even like these oh so tatty feathered shoes. Can't wait for his ss2011 show, he obviously saves his best efforts for the main seasons collections. His resort ones miss this hypnotic mix of tacky details that is so wrong but yet so right at the same time.

According to reports, more than half of all households use a financial planner. Unfortunately broker misconduct is prevalent. How can you tell if your broker has a fraud record?
Broker Misconduct
Close to 7 percent of advisors have been disciplined for a fraud dispute or some form of misconduct, according to a 2016 academic study, "The Market for Financial Adviser Misconduct" from the University of Minnesota and the University of Chicago.
Misconduct can include recommending unsuitable investments and misrepresenting or omitting key facts. Or it could mean "excessive trading," negligence, or trading on a client's account without his or her permission. Of the registered advisors who engaged in misconduct at least once, 38 percent are repeat offenders.
A fraud record is not necessarily the end of the line, though. While roughly half of advisors lose their jobs after an offense, 44 percent are back in the industry within a year.
That's especially troubling, as "prior offenders are five times as likely to engage in new misconduct as the average financial advisor," according to the study.
It's likely that the actual rate of fraud and misconduct is much higher. The authors pored through disclosure information in FINRA BrokerCheck, a database run by the industry's self-regulatory organization, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The database gathers data from regulatory filings and from information that firms and investment professionals must file with FINRA.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA)
FINRA is the independent, non-governmental agency that licenses and regulates stockbrokers and brokerage firms in the U.S. What most investors don't realize is that FINRA's budget is largely paid for by the very brokerage firms it regulates – creating a fairly obvious conflict of interest.
Although FINRA requires brokers and brokerage firms to report customer complaints and disputes, as well as regulatory sanctions, it is fair to question whether FINRA is doing the best job possible to rid the industry of "rogue brokers."
The clients most vulnerable to misconduct may be the ones in need of the most assistance, according to the study. Misconduct was concentrated in firms that cater to retail investors who buy and sell for their personal accounts. The most common victims were elderly, those with high incomes, and low education.
The worst performer in the study was Oppenheimer & Co., where 19.6 percent of the firm's 2,275 advisors had been disciplined for misconduct. Morgan Stanley, with 3,807 advisors, had the lowest rate: 0.79 percent.
In terms of location, the states with some of the highest rates of misconduct were Arizona, California and Florida. In 2015, FINRA barred 500 individuals and 25 firms from the industry.
How to Check your Broker's Record
The Central Registration Depository (CRD) is a computerized database that contains information about most brokers and their representatives. Check for proper licensing in your state and if they have had disciplinary problems or received serious complaints from investors. You can also find information about the brokers' educational backgrounds and employment history.
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) provides you with information from the CRD. Because your state securities regulator may provide more comprehensive information from the CRD than FINRA, especially when it comes to investor complaints, you may want to check with your state securities regulator first. You'll find contact information for your state securities regulator on the website of the North American Securities Administrators Association. To contact FINRA, either visit FINRA's BrokerCheck website or call FINRA's toll-free BrokerCheck hotline at (800) 289-9999.
Recovery Options
Brokerage firms are required to adequately supervise their agents. They can held responsible for any losses in a FINRA arbitration claim if it is determined that they failed to properly supervise their agent.
If you have suffered investment losses, the attorneys at The White Law Group may be able to help. For a free consultation, please call (888) 637-5510.
The foregoing information, which is all publicly available on FINRA's website, is being provided by The White Law Group. The White Law Group, LLC is a national securities fraud, securities arbitration, investor protection, and securities regulation/compliance law firm with offices in Chicago, Illinois and Franklin, Tennessee.

|It is important to understand the relative contribution of primary and secondary particles to regional and global aerosol so that models can attribute aerosol radiative forcing to different sources. In large-scale models, there is considerable uncertainty associated with treatments of particle formation (nucleation) in the boundary layer (BL) and in the size distribution of emitted primary particles, leading to uncertainties in predicted cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations. Here we quantify how primary particle emissions and secondary particle formation influence size-resolved particle number concentrations in the BL using a global aerosol microphysics model and aircraft and ground site observations made during the May 2008 campaign of the European Integrated Project on Aerosol Cloud Climate Air Quality Interactions (EUCAARI). We tested four different parameterisations for BL nucleation and two assumptions for the emission size distribution of anthropogenic and wildfire carbonaceous particles. When we emit carbonaceous particles at small sizes (as recommended by the Aerosol Intercomparison project, AEROCOM), the spatial distributions of campaign-mean number concentrations of particles with diameter >50 nm (N50) and >100 nm (N100) were well captured by the model (R2≥0.8) and the normalised mean bias (NMB) was also small (−18% for N50 and −1% for N100). Emission of carbonaceous particles at larger sizes, which we consider to be more realistic for low spatial resolution global models, results in equally good correlation but larger bias (R2≥0.8, NMB = −52% and −29%), which could be partly but not entirely compensated by BL nucleation. Within the uncertainty of the observations and accounting for the uncertainty in the size of emitted primary particles, BL nucleation makes a statistically significant contribution to CCN-sized particles at less than a quarter of the ground sites. Our results show that a major source of uncertainty in CCN-sized particles in polluted European air is the emitted size of primary carbonaceous particles. New information is required not just from direct observations, but also to determine the "effective emission size" and composition of primary particles appropriate for different resolution models.
