I watched a very impressive feu d'artifice display in the village on the 13th, from my hillside vantage point.
Then, on the evening of the 14th, Mark and I drove to a hillside overlooking le cite of Carcassonne, to prepare ourselves for what everyone had told us, would be an amazing display.
I have only seen fireworks in France on quatorze Juillet once before, and that was in 1969, when I was staying with a French family just outside Paris. It was the summer of the moon landing, of Ted Kennedy's Chappaquiddick, and the first time I had ever followed the Tour de France on TV. I was 14, and was thrilled to be driven to a hillside overlooking Paris, and watched the fireworks in wonderment. I think it was seeing Paris laid out in front of me that impressed as much as the fireworks. Anyway, it was quite an experience for a 14 year old on her first trip abroad.
Back to Carcassonne…… …… …… …… whole families had gathered on the hillside, and soon after we arrived, the traffic on the road below became quite chaotic. People parked anywhere, facing the wrong way, in the middle of roundabouts, just anywhere they could leave the car and climb to a viewing point.
Almost as soon as it was dark enough……. about 10.30pm, there was a red flare that announced the start of the half hour display. It was stunning. No doubt it cost a fortune, is entirely frivolous, probably dangerous, etc. etc….but it was stunning. Everyone sat or stood and watched in amazement. At one point, the outline of the city vanished, all lights were out, and a red glow covered the whole area. It looked as if the city was burning, and then suddenly, the silhouette of the city reappeared and the main display began.
The hillside erupted in applause as the display ended, and hundreds of delighted people wandered down the hill to find their cars.

A flexible framework
The constantly changing programme of this project required a particular design. For this reason we provided the distribution building with an optimally flexible structure set within a strict grid. In the front façade a window is designed within the grid, which is so powerful that it dominates the continual changes. This makes it possible to fully accommodate the differing programme without affecting the overall image.

——————————————————————————————————————————– ——————————————————————————————————————————– PHEW !!!! Here I have noted the steps involved in bringing a single node of HP Vertica alive on a local Virtual box VM. I hope it covers all the pre-requisites that may ruin the fun.
A. Register and download the Vertica 7 rpms from here https://my.vertica.com/community/
B. Configure the virtual box so that we dont lose the IP. Memory provisioned is 4GB RAM, 2 processors and 50GB of disk storage I have two network adapters enabled in the virtual box VM settings. The first network adapter configured as Bridged-Adapter and can connect to internet The second network adapter is attached to Host-only-Adapter which generates a local IP like 192.168.56.103
C. Installation of a CentOS 6.5 x64 machine to serve as the host to Vertica 7. Download CentOS http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/isos/x86_64/ LVM is not supported by Vertica 7, need to have EXT3 or EXT4 partitions Create a non-LVM partition with ext4 mounted at root / and a swap of 2GB
D. Add relevant proxy and variables if needed in your development environment export http_proxy=http://web-proxy.xxxxxxxx.com:8080 export HTTP_PROXY=http://web-proxy.xxxxxxxx.com:8080 export proxy=http://web-proxy.xxxxxxxxx.com:8080 export TZ="Asia/Kolkata" In case bridged and local IP is not reachable then use dhclient for the ethernet address discoveryby configuring the DHCP
E. Setup a SAMBA share for file transfer to and from this virtual machine I had to setup the EPEL repository so that I have the a test updated for download (http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/installing-rhel-epel-repo-on-centos-5x-or-6x) I had to configure proxy in ~/.bashrc and yum.conf for making sure my VM is connecting to the internet $ sudo yum install samba $ mkdir /home/dbadmin/share Configure as in http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Sharing_Files_between_CentOS_6_and_Windows_Systems_with_Samba $ vim /etc/samba/smb.conf Add the following in the end of conf where Share Definitions are mentioned [share] path = /home/dbadmin/share writeable = yes browseable = yes valid users = dbadmin Any user that requires to connect to this share needs to be given a samba password $ sudo smbpasswd -a dbadmin Start the samba server $ sudo service smb restart $ sudo service nmb restart Make sure you have a user created for samba for this share \\192.168.56.103
F. Install Vertica (vertica-7.0.1-0.x86_64.RHEL5.rpm) Database, The installation is being done as a super user here. PREFACE: Just to scare the administrator I am starting with the horror I witnessed,when I just went ahead with the usual rpm and install_vertica route Pre-Requisites and if not adhered to is served by these beautiful errors In case pre-requisite are not adhered to then following error occur Failures during local (OS) configuration for verify-10.0.3.15.xml: HINT (S0151): https://my.vertica.com/docs/7.0.x/HTML/index.htm#cshid=S0151 These disks do not have known IO schedulers: '/dev/mapper/VolGroup- lv_root' ('') = '' HINT (S0231): https://my.vertica.com/docs/7.0.x/HTML/index.htm#cshid=S0231 dbadmin user ('dbadmin') primary group is not verticadba ('verticadba') HINT (S0305): https://my.vertica.com/docs/7.0.x/HTML/index.htm#cshid=S0305 TZ is unset for dbadmin. Consider updating .profile or .bashrc WARN (S0170): https://my.vertica.com/docs/7.0.x/HTML/index.htm#cshid=S0170 lvscan (LVM utility) indicates some active volumes. FAIL (S0150): https://my.vertica.com/docs/7.0.x/HTML/index.htm#cshid=S0150 These disks do not have 'deadline' or 'noop' IO scheduling: '/dev/sda1' ('sda') = 'cfq' FAIL (S0020): https://my.vertica.com/docs/7.0.x/HTML/index.htm#cshid=S0020 Readahead size of sda (/dev/sda1) is too low for typical systems: 256 < 2048 Readahead size of (/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root) is too low for typical systems: 256 < 2048 FAIL (S0030): https://my.vertica.com/docs/7.0.x/HTML/index.htm#cshid=S0030 ntpd process is not running: ['ntpd', 'ntp'] FAIL (S0310): https://my.vertica.com/docs/7.0.x/HTML/index.htm#cshid=S0310 Transparent hugepages is set to 'always'. Must be 'never' or 'madvise'.
1. Create a 2GB swap space in case a swap partition was not created initially during installation of OS $ grep SwapTotal /proc/meminfo $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/swapfile bs=1024 count=2097152 $ mkswap /mnt/swapfile $ swapon /mnt/swapfile
2. Network Time Protocol (NTP) $ runlevel $ chkconfig --list ntpd $ /sbin/service ntpd restart $ /sbin/chkconfig ntpd on $ /usr/sbin/ntpq -c rv | grep stratum
3. Disable SELinux at vim /etc/selinux/config by editing SELINUX=disabled $ setenforce 0 4. CPU Scaling set to performance. Make sure you configure the performance parameter in cpu scaling info at /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor for CPUFREQ in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor; do [ -f $CPUFREQ ] || continue; echo -n performance > $CPUFREQ; done
5. Vertica doesn't support transparent hugepages. $ cat /sys/kernel/mm/redhat_transparent_hugepage/enabled $ sysctl -a | grep hugepage $ vim /etc/grub.conf and add transparent_hugepage=never to the kernel line between root and initrd Also, if the above solution is a thread to your kernel then add the following tp your /etc/rc.local file if test -f /sys/kernel/mm/redhat_transparent_hugepage/enabled; then echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/redhat_transparent_hugepage/enabled fi
6. Disk Readahead, Vertica requires that Disk readahead by set to at least 2048 • Do it for sda (which is the block storage): $ /sbin/blockdev --setra 2048 /dev/sda $ echo '/sbin/blockdev --setra 2048 /dev/sda' >> /etc/rc.local • Do it for sda1 (which is the block storage): $ /sbin/blockdev --setra 2048 /dev/sda1 $ echo '/sbin/blockdev --setra 2048 /dev/sda1' >> /etc/rc.local Verify at cat /etc/rc.local
7. Vertica requires either deadline or noop I/0 scheduler. And CFQ creates performance bottlenecks. Permanent setting can be done by adding the following in kernel cmd line in vim /etc/grub.conf elevator=deadline Configure the I/O Scheduler - Changing the Scheduler Through the /sys Directory • Check the current status: $ cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler noop anticipatory deadline [cfq] • Change for the current run: $ echo deadline > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler • Add the change to rc.local so it survives reboot: $ echo 'echo deadline > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler' >> /etc/rc.local • Check the status: $ cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler noop anticipatory [deadline] cfq $ find / -iname "scheduler" Ok, we have sda device. You can confirm it by: blkid command or fdisk -l NOTE: There should not be any LVM partitions associated with vertica Make the change to /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root as well so Check the dev device name for partition like /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root, lvdisplay -v or ll /dev/VolGroup/ In my case it is -> Block device 253:0s Unable to resolve this one as LVM was used and had to reinstall my OS with EXT4
8. TZ Environment Variable $ yum update tzdata $ cat /etc/sysconfig/clock $ export TZ="Asia/Kolkata"
9. Add dbadmin to the verticadba group as primary user Setup vertica with email@example.com $ adduser dbadmin $ passwd dbadmin Add this to the /etc/sudoers list - create a verticadba group and add dbadmin to it $ id dbadmin $ groupadd -f verticadba //usermod -a -G verticadba dbadmin $ usermod -g verticadba dbadmin $ usermod -m -d /home/dbadmin/ dbadmin $ chown -R dbadmin:verticadba /home/dbadmin
10. Disable firewall for now, later add specific port forwarding $ service iptables save $ service iptables stop
11. Append the host name to /etc/hosts 192.168.56.103 verticalocalhost
12. Finally we arrive at the actual installation of Vertica7, I was so happy with vertica 6 where my installation notes amounted to about 10 lines only. Install vertica RPM $ rpm -ivh vertica-7.0.1-0.x86_64.RHEL5.rpm Check the installation by: ls /opt/vertica/ and initialize the vertica nodes using the install $ /opt/vertica/sbin/install_vertica --hosts verticalocalhost --rpm vertica-7.0.1-0.x86_64.RHEL5.rpm -u dbadmin
13. Initialize the node and create the database Use the configuration tool and go to the configuration menu and create a new database You will have to accept the license for community edition as well. Here you can create a database and associate a password through the configuration menu. $ /opt/vertica/bin/adminTools 14. Connect to the database through the VSQL Vertica client $ /opt/vertica/bin/vsql -U dbadmin
Here is a snapshot of the vertica adminTools interface. Its great for me as i prefer putty and this interface is smooth there.
Now, that is some nasty list of command for the setup. I just poured it all here. I hope it could help somebody. I will be laying my hands on the UDTF functions which is the core of analytics there. I hope i would be able to cover how beautifully it integrates with R-language in order to provide for extreme big data statistical analytics within the heart of Vertica.
There is a great database client called dbeaver which is also called a free universal database manager as it can connect to most known sql databases easily over JDBC. Make the connections as per the settings below and kickstart your Vertica experience
Here is a bash script to initialize and start the database when we start the linux instance. This will take the burden off the simple db initialization, start, stop operations.
#!/bin/bash # description: Vertica service export VERTICA_HOME=/opt/vertica export VERTICA_USER=dbadmin export VERTICA_DB=XXXDB export VERTICA_DBPASS=xxxdb export VERTICA_PORT=5433 export VERTICA_HOST=verticalocalhost echo "------------------------------------STATE---------------------------------------" # Pre check of the running process vertica_ps=`bash -c "ps -eaf | grep vertica | grep $VERTICA_DB | grep $VERTICA_PORT"` echo $vertica_ps vertica_pid=`bash -c "ps -eaf | grep vertica | grep $VERTICA_DB | grep $VERTICA_PORT | awk '{print $2}'"` #echo "PID: $vertica_pid" echo "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------" case $1 in initdb) sudo bash -c "service iptables stop" if sudo bash -c "/opt/vertica/sbin/install_vertica --hosts $VERTICA_HOST --rpm /home/dbadmin/share/vertica-7.0.1-0.x86_64.RHEL5.rpm -u $VERTICA_USER"; then echo -n "Vertica $1 successful" $0 start else echo -n "Error in Vertica $1: $?" fi ;; stop) if bash -c "/opt/vertica/bin/admintools --tool stop_db -d $VERTICA_DB -p $VERTICA_DBPASS"; then echo -n "Vertica $1 $VERTICA_DB successful" else echo -n "Error in Vertica $1: $?" fi ;; restart) $0 stop $0 start ;; start) if bash -c "/opt/vertica/bin/admintools --tool start_db -d $VERTICA_DB -p $VERTICA_DBPASS"; then echo -n "Vertica $1 $VERTICA_DB successful" else echo -n "Error in Vertica $1: $?" fi ;; status) echo "To be done" ;; *) echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|initdb|status}" exit 1 esac
15. Change in IP address of the server
If you are a developer like me who works on machines with dynamically assigned IPs. It is a pain to start the server with the new IP. here I have tried to provide a fix by going into the internal configurations in order to get this right.
- Make sure the /etc/hosts file is updated with the new IP
- Edit the /opt/vertica/config/admintools.conf and replace all the older IPs with the new ones.
- Edit the DB spread configuration file with the new IP. /home/dbadmin/XXXDB/v_teamdb_node0001_catalog/spread.conf
- Edit the DB catalog configuration file with the new IP. /home/dbadmin/XXXDB/v_teamdb_node0001_catalog/Catalog/config.cat
- Go to the admintools and start the database with your fingers crossed.
In case your database started with this configuration then its your lucky day today.
16. Backup the server data
This is the most important section.Now that you have a database in production its prudent to have a mechanism for backup and restore. Here I am adding a mechanism to backup the data.
1. Create your configuration file with the needed parameters. $ vbr.py --setupconfig Snapshot name (backup_snapshot): XXXDB_2016_08_10 Number of restore points (1): 1 Specify objects (no default): Object restore mode (coexist, createOrReplace or create) (createOrReplace): Vertica user name (dbadmin): Save password to avoid runtime prompt? (n) [y/n]: y Database user password to save in vbr password config file (no default): Node v_teamdb_node0001 Backup host name (no default): verticalocalhost Backup directory (no default): /home/dbadmin/backup Change advanced settings? (n) [y/n]: n Password file name (no default): 123 Saved vbr password to 123. Config file name (XXXDB_2016_08_10.ini): Saved vbr config to XXXDB_2016_08_10.ini. 2. Initialize a backup folder vbr.py --task init --config-file XXXDB_2016_08_10.ini 3. Backup your data vbr.py --task backup --config-file XXXDB_2016_08_10.ini
You will find manifest and a snapshot folder, apart from the backed up node in the /opt/dbadmin/backup directory.
17. Restore the servers data
This can be achieved using the same vbr config file, but will require the target database to be down.

Laupahoehoe Wet Forest
The Laupahoehoe Experimental Forest Unit is located on the windward side of the island of Hawaii on the slopes of the Mauna Kea volcano. The 12,300 acre (5,000 ha) site contains magnificent examples of primary wet and rain forest and is the habitat to numerous endangered plant and animal species. A total of 234 vascular plants (native and non-native) have been identified. Among them, 12 are considered rare (known from fewer than 20 locations worldwide or less than 3,000 individuals). Twenty-two bird species (native and non-native) have been observed, including four Federally-listed endangered bird species.
The Laupahoehoe Unit contains native-dominated forested landscapes from lowland forest at 2,300 feet (700 m) above sea level extending through four Holdridge Life Zones to almost 6,200 feet (1,890 m) in elevation. Average annual rainfall of the Unit ranges from 135 inches (3,428 mm) at lower elevations to 69 inches (1,752 mm) at higher elevations. It is part of the largest remaining native dominated forest in Hawaii. Forests are largely dominated by ohia (Metrosideros polymorpha) and koa (Acacia koa), the two most widespread tree species in native forest remaining in Hawaii. In addition, the landscape includes plantations dominated by tropical ash (Fraxinus uhdei) and eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.), degraded pastures, abandoned sugarcane fields, and sites dominated by invasive plants and animals. Invasive flora include strawberry guava, clidemia, melastomes, vines, and grasses, while invasive fauna include pigs, rats, various birds (terrestrial) and fish, shrimp, and caddisflies (aquatic). Seven headwater streams originate in the experimental forest provide excellent opportunities to conduct hydrologic and aquatic ecology studies. Streams in the site include two first order tributaries of Kaawalii Stream, Laupahoehoe Stream, Kilau Stream, Kiwilahiahi Stream, Haakoa Stream, and Pahale Stream. Three distinct and continuous soil substrates of differing ages occur along broad elevational ranges.
Elevations below this site are privately owned and adjacent lands at upper elevations are administered by Department of Hawaiian Homelands and the Division of Forestry and Wildlife. Locating an experimental forest within this framework provides researchers with a globally unique opportunity to study environmental gradients from the upper limits of agriculture at lower elevations through 8 Holdridge life zones terminating at the alpine life zone at almost 13,996 feet (4,267 m) in elevation.
A Cultural Assessment produced in 2006 by Kumu Pono Associates, LLC is available here.

Marcus Rashford's new puppy just inadvertently became a meme for disappointed United fans
It's all in the face.
When Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford posted a picture of his new puppy to Twitter, perhaps he didn't realise just how meme-worthy an image it was.
Well, he probably knows now. The 20-year-old's dog, called Saint Rashford, has an expression that plenty of Manchester United fans can apparently relate with.
Meet our new puppy Saint Rashford. He knows best! 🐶 pic.twitter.com/60f6BDfWIX— Marcus Rashford (@MarcusRashford) February 13, 2018
United aren't having such a bad season, still in the Champions League and FA Cup, but with the Premier League title surely gone after defeat to Newcastle at the weekend, not everybody's happy.
Chris Smalling came in for some criticism.
Me when I see Smalling start at CB for us pic.twitter.com/owJRjGtEoz— GlazersOUT (@Yanited__) February 13, 2018
Me when MUFC have a chance to counter but Smalling decides to launch one towards Lukaku instead of trying to pass it to a midfielder pic.twitter.com/iHDxfXmISK— BullBull (@DahiiBhalla) February 13, 2018
Meanwhile Jose Mourinho's formation choice and player positioning was given the puppy treatment too.
Just look at those eyes. Saint's not angry, just disappointed.
When you see Young starting at left back over Shaw pic.twitter.com/r65pNQgGav— Greg (@McGregor93) February 13, 2018
You can expect to see similar expressions on the faces of United fans should they fail to beat Huddersfield in the FA Cup this weekend.

Maximizing The Capabilities of The Leads Database
Telemarketing companies are in a constant hunt for fresh leads to purchase their services, and getting them spells a good omen for their revenue. However, these newly acquired people are anonymous. The company cannot accurately target their potential buyers without the right tool at their disposal. Getting in touch with other businesses that are not within their target niche will just let marketers waste their precious time. The company cannot focus on general marketing.
The leads database is a data bank that contains contact information of targeted organizations. With the database at hand, the firm can connect with these particular niches. Companies can also be more acquainted with their prospect's level of interest, and even set appointments with the purchasing parties.
The b2b mailing leads database is a necessity and is a good venture for getting additional sales leads. The company can gather all the necessary contact information on their own, however, it is a long and protracted process and most companies simply purchase a database from a reliable broker. The database may fetch a hefty price from a renowned dealer, but it can be assured that the company gets instant leads.
Optimizing this list brings success. Being successful with selling retails is the ultimate goal of every business. Being successful means being ahead against other competitors. In order to achieve this, most companies would procure a business contact list due to the advantages it provides. There are numerous companies who are under the impression that they are very familiar with their targeted customers when in reality they do not. But with this fresh list of sales leads, they are able to know and instantaneously distinguish their targets. They are then spared from the probable waste of time, money and effort.

It's getting harder to convince people that chemtrails are merely a conspiracy theory when even meteorologists are discussing geoengineering on TV while giving their forecasts.
Geoengineering entails spraying materials like aluminum, barium, strontium and plastics into the atmosphere on the pretense of protecting the planet from global warming. A few years ago, if you questioned the white lines streaking across the sky and theorized they were chemicals, you would be mocked; now, you are expected to believe that injecting aerosols into the atmosphere can save the planet.
Even meteorologists are openly admitting that this takes place, with one saying in a West Coast weather report on a station only identified as News 10 that can be viewed on YouTube:
Then you see these bands of very distinct cloud cover moving into the region. That is not rain, that is not snow. Believe it or not, military aircraft flying through the region was dropping chaff – small bits of aluminum. Sometimes it's made of plastic or even metallicized paper products, but it's used as an anti-radar issue and obviously they're practicing.
He added: "Now they won't confirm that, but I was in the Marine Corps for many years and I'll tell you right now, that's what it is."
In another video from Florida, a meteorologist points to a large area of blue on the map and says: "That's what we call military chaff, and the military releases some things in the atmosphere… I know."
Yet another video shows a Southern California meteorologist saying that chaff has been sprayed over the area and is interfering with their satellite data.
What is floating around in the air we breathe?
What is most striking is how the meteorologists talk about it so casually, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. High exposure to aluminum can cause problems in the digestive system, bones, kidneys and muscles, and it has been linked to Alzheimer's disease and other brain-related problems – hardly the sort of thing you want floating around in the air that you breathe on a daily basis.

Britni Johnson had a double-double day and led the University of Mount Olive to a 25-20, 25-20, 16-25, 25-27, 15-12 defeat of Pfeiffer University Sunday afternoon in Conference Carolinas women's volleyball in Misenheimer, N.C. Johnson picked up six of her 11 kills in the first set.
The first set Mount Olive (3-13 Overall, 2-4 Conference Carolinas) used a trio of three point runs to edge out in front on Pfeiffer (1-11, 0-6) 19-8. The Falcons fought back as back-to-back attack errors led to a six point run. A Pfeiffer service error stopped the run with the Trojans still ahead, 20-14.
Mount Olive stopped another three-point run by Pfeiffer, with a kill by Alysha Burnett and the Trojans led 22-17. The Trojans took the first set after an attack error by the Falcons.
The Trojans started off the second set hot as they took the first five points. Both teams exchanged three point runs and Britni Johnson's ace sealed the end of the Trojans run as they led 10-7. Two three-point runs by the Mount Olive extended the cushion to 14-9. Both squads exchanged two point blows for the remainder on the set until a bad set by Pfeiffer allowed Mount Olive to take the second set.
Pfeiffer started off the third set with a pair of multiple point runs to take a 7-3 lead. Sarah Watkins ended the second run with a kill that deflected off a Falcon and dropped in out of bounds. The Falcons rallied to take the third set however capitalizing off Trojan errors.
In the fourth set Pfeiffer's offense used a two three-point and one four-point runs to take a 12-8 lead. Mount Olive countered with a four-point run of their own to knot the set up at 12. The set went back and forth as it was tied up nine more times before back-to-back kills by Shenelle Charlot forced a fifth set.
The Trojans took the first four points of the final set before a service error stopped the run. Mount Olive continued to push and moved the score to 7-1 and forced Pfeiffer to call a timeout. The timeout proved well as the Falcons rallied for four straight points. Burnett came in with a kill to stop the run for Mount Olive and start a four-point rally. A service error put a halt to the Trojan rally. Back-to-back service errors gave Mount Olive a 13-6 lead. After Pfeiffer put up three unanswered points, Mount Olive was forced to timeout. The Falcons continued to attack and added to what was a six-point rally. Danielle Stachura faked a set pass to give Mount Olive a side out and Sydney Kanupp finished match with the final kill.
"I think the swing defiantly picked up our energy and got us to think about the next play and our setters trusted our hitters and we just did our thing. This is great momentum, we are going to have the confidence we've been missing, this puzzle piece we were looking for" said Burnett after the match.
Johnson finished with 11 kills and 15 digs in the contest. Burnett also finished with 11 kills. Stachura added 25 assists for the Trojan s.
Mount Olive will return home this Friday to play host to Lees-McRae College at 7 p.m.

DDS Diamonds manufacture designer engagement rings in Adelaide, so the price of the items varies considerably. DDS offer various payment options to accommodate all budgets.
A small deposit is paid at the commencement of all transactions. This confirms the order, secures the price and allows DDS to begin the manufacturing process. The balance is paid by the customer upon completion.
The payment options include:
• Cash is accepted and free from any fees and charges.
• Direct Transfer from bank to bank is the payment option most customers prefer to use. This option does not attract any fees and seems to be the most simple. DDS prefers that this is arranged by the customer prior to collecting the jewellery, with the Confirmation of Transaction being sent to us by email.
• Visa or Mastercard facilities are available. Using the savings key is free of bank charges, but using the credit key attracts a bank charge of 1.5% for regular and gold cards and 2% for Platinum credit cards.
• Bank cheques made out to W.B. Moser Pty Ltd are also gladly accepted.
You will find DDS Diamond Design Studios to be very accommodating and happy to help with payment options in any way possible.
Occasionally when higher priced items are purchased, customers need some extra time to pay for the ring of their dreams.
Custom made engagement rings generally take about four to six weeks to make from start to completion. During this time DDS outlays the cost for manufacturing the piece of jewellery, including the materials and labour, other than an initial deposit which customers pay at the commencement of the manufacturing process.
If customers need a longer time to pay, DDS offers a six month interest free agreement with Skye (formerly Lombard Finance). It's a simple on-line process which enables the customer to walk out of the DDS studios with the piece of jewellery in hand, leaving Skyecard to look after the payment of the items.
If you are looking for a more elaborate designer diamond ring in Adelaide, loans longer than six months are also available, but these will need to be discussed with DDS to work out the options.

Christmas weekend sees rain, ice, snow and 50 mph wind gusts
A steady rain fell Christmas Day causing considerable concern among City of Benson and Agralite Cooperative electric crews. With the temperature hovering around 32 degrees early in the day, it was feared that ice would coat the lines leading to breakages that would cut off power to customers.
Several times during the day, lights did flicker in Benson.
The icy conditions were also a concern to law enforcement and highway crews as roads in the area became increasingly slick.
While ice did form on the lines and roads, the temperatures warmed through the day to 37 degrees, eventually melting the ice that had formed.
In all, the Benson area received 81 hundredths of an inch of rain on Christmas Day. There was also thunder and lightening as the massive low pressure system moved through the upper Great Plains states. North Dakota, parts of South Dakota and northern Minnesota all saw cooler temperatures that created blizzard conditions....

Having changed my hair style from under cut , to a choppy spike fringe short hair cut , my barber, introduced me to ac fibre , I'm slowly becoming used to using it, it's got a nice smell, and a hard texture, warm between palms , and work well into hair , it's matte look, and seems to thicken hair, which suited my really fine limp hair, I've tried Hans de fuko scheme cream , which was excellent, but comes in too expensive for what you get

The product is really good. It has a good smell, has a good hold and doesn't shine. So you will not have a feeling of dirty or greasy hair. One of my favourite products along with TIGI Bedhead for Men Matte Separation Workable Wax.
17 December 2017 by
It's a product with great texture and I am particularly fond with the matt finish. Once I learnt how to apply it correctly, emulsifying it in between my palms, it became my ultimate go-to product.
2 March 2017 by
Bought it a couple of weeks ago but only used it today and I must say i'm impressed, even though my hair is really short it held it fine and just needed 5 minutes to put my hair how I wanted. Good hold and doesn't shine, just as I wanted.
2 December 2016 by
I've been using this American Crew Fiber for a while now, I've used lots of other products trying to achieve the same thing but this product tops all of them. It has a great citrus-y smell and provides a good hold without making your hair look too greasy. I always partner it with the American Crew Alternator first whilst the hair is damp to ensure that everything stays in place.
18 July 2016 by
Fantastic product well that's what my son says. He is well pleased and very happy with the way it styles his hair, he has wavy/curly hair and is trying to grow it .
23 February 2016 by
Works brilliantly on short hair with a strong reworkable hold, a natural look, a good fragrance and is also easy to wash out. Will definitely recommend and use again.
9 February 2016 by
It's a great product I recommend drying your hair completely as it loses hold from water
9 November 2015 by
I've been trying many products similar to this one. I always come back to AC.
5 October 2015 by
I've been using this fiber for a while now, and it's pretty great. Just take a little, warm it up in your hands and spread it through your hair. It holds up quite well, but I can't recommend it for on a hot, sweaty day as it will lose strength quite quickly. In all other circumstances, this fiber outperforms others on all levels.
7 July 2015 by
Gives hair great hold and easy to use.
16 June 2015 by
Great product. No fluffy, frizzy hair. Not obvious there's anything on your hair! Very subtle look, very smart.
5 May 2015 by
The label says high hold but I would say this is medium hold. It holds well initially, but if you have a high quiff it will flop as the day goes on.
The texture is like a hard cream which goes soft in your fingers, so you can't expect an amazing hold. Aside from this it is a quality product which does add fullness to your hair and leaves a nice matte finish.
It smells like a high end product and the scent I would say is lemon cheesecake.
If they brought out an extreme hold version of this it might be the best hair product of all time (BHPOAT).
25 February 2015 by
It is the best hair wax I've ever used. Smells good on the hair and it gives a long lasting dry effect. The delivery was on time as expected.
30 January 2015 by
First things first. Too many hair styling products snell of bubble gum, flowers, coconut etc etc but not this stuff. A great invigorating citrus scent gives you a zing in the morning as you mould your hair into your desired style. Great for short choppy styles and gives a good lasting hold. Rinses out easily in the shower and washes off of hands easily too. No sticky glue-like mess and doesn't irritate my scalp like some products do either. An all round winner for me!

This wonderful product! I have tried so many others I have lost count, but this, is truly brilliant! I have fine/thinning hair and this adds fullness, texture and density to my hair with a great hold that lasts all day! Couldn't be happier with this! :)
31 March 2014 by
I have short, fine thin hair, and this is the best product I have ever used. It's truly brilliant!
27 March 2014 by
This stuff genuinely is brilliant. I don't make a habit of reviewing a hair product but it's the one thing I've spent the last 10 years trying to find. I've got and had a cupboard full of various products for as long as I can remember. My general go to clay was a VO5 product which I've used all along. I didn't think I'd find anything better but this blows it out of the water. I've always been trying to find something with more of a matt finish but with strong hold and this is it. Lovely and matt with texture, without clumping together. Perfect!
27 January 2014 by
The absolute must have for mens hair styling, pliable, barely any shine with a perfect matte finish. The hold is exactly what you want, strong enough for even the toughest styles but pliable enough for you to reshape or retouch to your heart's content. Also has a great strong scent which makes you smell great, superb product.
25 January 2014 by
Easily the best men's hair product on the market, nothing else comes close. Great price too at Mankind.

Tariffs have fallen from Rs 7-8 per unit in mid 2015 to Rs 2.50-3.50 per unit at present. The lowest tariff was Rs 2.44 per unit at a solar auction conducted for projects at the Bhadla Solar Park, Rajasthan. The fall is largely due to the lowering of prices of solar cells and modules in the global market, especially in China, which has seen considerable overproduction.
The MNRE is concerned that developers who signed power purchase agreements (PPAs) at fairly high tariffs while solar equipment prices were also high, could earn a windfall over the next 25 years – most solar PPAs are for 25 years – if they delayed buying their requirements and did so after prices had dropped.
"One of the reasons of falling tariff is lowering of prices of solar cells/modules internationally," said a letter from Dilip Nigam, adviser, National Solar Mission in the MNRE, to principal secretaries (energy) of all states. "Falling prices may give undue benefits to developers at the cost of the government if project duration is extended."
Developers take a completely different view. "When a developer is putting in a bid, certain assumptions about panel prices are made months in advance," said one of them, not wanting to be named. "If that's the way the MNRE wants it, it should allow developers to bid without considering panel cost and then add it later. You can't have the cake and eat it too. If panel costs fall, developers will obviously want to take advantage of it."
Others feared the letter could be used by state distribution companies as a pretext to renegotiate earlier contracts at tariffs lower than already signed for. Recently, Uttar Pradesh reworked contracts it had signed with developers following an auction in September 2015 at prices between Rs 7.02 and Rs 8.60 per unit. It insisted that, since solar tariffs had fallen, all of them should sign fresh contracts at the lowest tariff reached during that auction ie. Rs 7.02 per unit. "The letter doesn't say so, but states might take a cue from it and start renegotiating the way UP has," said another developer.
The construction period usually allowed for a solar plant can vary between 13 and 18 months, with stiff penalties for delays. But given the difficulties of locating suitable land, and other impediments, projects are often delayed and extensions usually allowed.
"It is important that already awarded projects are commissioned on time," the July 3 letter added.

Andrei made our Tromso weekend unforgettable!
I was fortunately enough to do 2 tours with him, and he made the car ride, the campfire and the lights very entertaining and enjoyable. We drove to Finland on the second tour because he had a feeling we would have more luck there and he was right! We were treated to an incredible show of the Northern Lights.
I highly recommend Andrei as a tour guide! By the end of the night he was like a friend to us, and did whatever he could to make the night as fun and exciting as possible!

BACKGROUND: Rift Valley fever virus is an emerging mosquito-borne virus that causes infections in animals and human beings in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Outbreaks of Rift Valley fever lead to mass abortions in livestock, but such abortions have not been identified in human bezings. Our aim was to investigate the cause of miscarriages in febrile pregnant women in an area endemic for Rift Valley fever.
METHODS: Pregnant women with fever of unknown origin who attended the governmental hospital of Port Sudan, Sudan, between June 30, 2011, and Nov 17, 2012, were sampled at admission and included in this cross-sectional study. Medical records were retrieved and haematological tests were done on patient samples. Presence of viral RNA as well as antibodies against a variety of viruses were analysed. Any association of viral infections, symptoms, and laboratory parameters to pregnancy outcome was investigated using Pearson's χ(2) test.
FINDINGS: Of 130 pregnant women with febrile disease, 28 were infected with Rift Valley fever virus and 31 with chikungunya virus, with typical clinical and laboratory findings for the infection in question. 15 (54%) of 28 women with an acute Rift Valley fever virus infection had miscarriages compared with 12 (12%) of 102 women negative for Rift Valley fever virus (p<0·0001). In a multiple logistic regression analysis, adjusting for age, haemorrhagic disease, and chikungunya virus infection, an acute Rift Valley fever virus infection was an independent predictor of having a miscarriage (odds ratio 7·4, 95% CI 2·7-20·1; p<0·0001).
INTERPRETATION: This study is the first to show an association between infection with Rift Valley fever virus and miscarriage in pregnant women. Further studies are warranted to investigate the possible mechanisms. Our findings have implications for implementation of preventive measures, and evidence-based information to the public in endemic countries should be strongly recommended during Rift Valley fever outbreaks.
FUNDING: Schlumberger Faculty for the Future, CRDF Global (31141), the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, the County Council of Västerbotten, and the Faculty of Medicine, Umeå University.
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a mosquito-borne virus which has the ability to infect a large variety of animals including humans in Africa and Arabian Peninsula. The abortion rate among these animals are close to 100%, and young animals develop severe disease which often are lethal.
In humans, Rift Valley fever (RVF) presents in most cases as a mild illness with influenza-like symptoms. However, in about 8% of the cases it progresses into a more severe disease with a high case fatality rate. Since there is such a high abortion rate among infected animals, a link between human miscarriage and RVFV has been suggested, but never proven.
We could in paper I for the first time show an association between acute RVFV infection and miscarriage in humans. We observed an increase in pregnant women arriving at the Port Sudan Hospital with fever of unknown origin, and several of the patients experienced miscarriage. When we analysed their blood samples for several viral diseases we found that many had an acute RVFV infection and of these, 54% experienced a miscarriage. The odds of having a miscarriage was 7 times higher for RVFV patients compared to the RVFV negative women of which only 12% miscarried. These results indicated that RVFV infection could be a contributing factor to miscarriage.
RVFV is an enveloped virus containing the viral glycoproteins n and c (Gn and Gc respectively), where Gn most likely is responsible for the initial cellular contact. The protein DC-SIGN on dendritic cells and the glycosaminoglycan heparan sulfate has been suggested as cellular receptors for RVFV, however other mechanisms are probably also involved in binding and entry. Charge is a driving force for molecular interaction and has been shown to be important for cellular attachment of several viruses, and in paper II we could show that when the charge around the cells was altered, the infection was affected. We also showed that Gn most likely has a positive charge at a physiological pH.
When we added negatively charged molecules to the viral particles before infection, we observed a decreased infection efficiency, which we also observed after removal of carbohydrate structures from the cell surface.
Our results suggested that the cellular interaction partner for initial attachment is a negatively charged carbohydrate. Further investigations into the mechanisms of RVFV cellular interactions has to be undertaken in order to understand, and ultimately prevent, infection and disease.
There is currently no vaccine approved for human use and no specific treatments for RVF, so there is a great need for developing safe effective drugs targeting this virus. We designed a whole-cell based high-throughput screen (HTS) assay which we used to screen libraries of small molecular compounds for anti-RVFV properties. After dose-response and toxicity analysis of the initial hits, we identified six safe and effective inhibitors of RVFV infection that with further testing could become drug candidates for treatment of RVF. This study demonstrated the application of HTS using a whole-cell virus replication reporter gene assay as an effective method to identify novel compounds with potential antiviral activity against RVFV.

Dental radiographs, also known as dental X-rays, are important diagnostic tools in pediatric dentistry. Dental radiographs allow the dentist to see and treat problems like childhood cavities, tooth decay, orthodontic misalignment, bone injuries, and bone diseases before they worsen. These issues would be difficult (in some cases impossible) to see with the naked eye during a clinical examination.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) approves the use of dental radiographs for diagnostic purposes in children and teenagers. Although radiographs only emit tiny amounts of radiation and are safe to use on an occasional basis, the AAPD guidelines aim to protect young people from unnecessary X-ray exposure.
What are dental X-rays used for?
Dental x-rays are extremely versatile diagnostic tools. Some of their main uses in pediatric dentistry include:
When will my child need dental X-rays?
Individual circumstances dictate how often a child needs to have dental radiographs taken. Children at higher-than-average risk of childhood tooth decay (as determined by the pediatric dentist) may need biannual radiographs to monitor changes in the condition of the teeth. Likewise, children who are at high risk for orthodontic problems, for example, malocclusion, may also need sets of radiographs taken more frequently for monitoring purposes.
Children at average or below average risk for tooth decay and orthodontic problems should have a set of dental X-rays taken every one to two years. Even in cases where the pediatric dentist suspects no decay at all, it is still important to periodically monitor tooth and jaw growth – primarily to ensure there is sufficient space available for incoming permanent teeth.
If the oral region has been subject to trauma or injury, the pediatric dentist may want to X-ray the mouth immediately. Developments in X-ray technology mean that specific areas of the mouth can be targeted and X-rayed separately, reducing the amount of unnecessary X-ray exposure.
What precautions will be taken to ensure my child's safety?
Though dental radiographs are perfectly safe for use on children, the pediatric dentist will take several precautions to ensure the X-ray process does not unduly damage the child's cells and bodily tissues.
First, the child will be covered in a lead apron to protect the body from unnecessary exposure. Second, the dentist will use shields to protect the parts of the face that are not being X-rayed. Finally, the pediatric dentist will use high-speed film to reduce radiation exposure as much as possible.
If you have questions or concerns about dental radiographs or X-rays, please contact your pediatric dentist.
"It went very well. Admittedly I am not a huge fan of dental visits, but everything is done very professionally. They are all very thorough and explain everything to me in detail."

I took my elderly mother to Dr Epakchi on 11/11/14 because she had two teeth that were in bad shape.. He was very caring and compassionate with my mother ( she suffered a head injury 4 years ago and I was scared she would be agitated but she was so calm with Dr Epakchi I was impressed by his way with her) . He proficiently removed the teeth without causing her pain nor agitation, I as impressed by his manner,
He did an excellent job and was thorough in explaining what would happen. My mother healed quickly and beautifully.
He did not overcharge, his price was fair.
His staff were all very sweet and pleasant I highly recommend Dr Epakchi.

POW is one of my all-time favourite games for practicing sight words. It's so simple and cheap to make and, the best part – kids love it! I have several POW games in the classroom with various sets of grade 2 sight words, but today I'm working on the DOLCH List 1 for my daughter. They are using DOLCH words in her grade 1 class this year.
To make a POW game all you need to is:
- List of Words you want to practice
- popsicle stick (some like to use foam, I usually use wood)
- sharpie
- cup (or some type of container to pull the sticks from)
First you'll need to print your list words on the end of the popsicle sticks.
I like to include each words two times. It makes the game longer and gives more practice of each word. But, it also means that you can switch it up and use these same sticks to play MEMORY!
Next, you will need to make some POW sticks. I like to include 3, but you can make more of less.
The last step is to put them all (words down) in a cup or container….super easy!
How do you play POW?
You and your child will take turns drawing sticks from the cup. When you draw a stick you must read the word aloud in order to keep it. Keep taking turns drawing sticks and reading words until someone draws POW. The player who draws POW must put all their words back in the cup. Play can continue until 3 POWs have been drawn or until someone gets a certain number of sticks, which you can decide on at the beginning of the game.
I like to use the "No Excuses" Spelling words from Nelson Language Arts Teacher's Resource Books in my classroom. They closely align with the NB curriculum.
But the DOLCH sight words are still very popular and are a great resources as well. I'm including some copies of both so you can easily make several games.
I hope you have lots of fun playing this game at home. My example with popsicle sticks and a cup is as basic as you can get, but if you come up with something a little 'craftier' I would love to see your results!

Claremont, California - The 15th-ranked Trinity men's tennis team defeated 29th-ranked University of Texas at Tyler 5-3 in the second round of the NCAA Championships.
The Patriots took the first point of the match, as the Tiger doubles team of Tilden Oliver and Lars Wiik fell 8-2 at line three. Wilson Hamilton and Jace Akagi-Okuma then tied things up with a strong 9-7 victory at line two, but Wilson Lambeth and Jordan Pitts fell 9-7 in their match to give UT-Tyler a 2-1 advantage going into singles.
Akagi-Okuma earned a quick 6-1, 6-4 win at line four to tie the match for the second time, and Lambeth followed suit with a 6-1, 6-3 victory at line three to give the Tigers their first lead of the day. Wiik unfortunately had to retire at line four, but Pitts was able to pull out a 6-2, 7-5 match at line two to make it a 4-3 match.
Oliver held on for a 6-2, 7-5 win of his own at line five to clinch the match for the Tigers and propel them into the third round of the NCAA Championships. Hamilton's match at line one was left unfinished in the third set.
The Tigers will take on host Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (CA) College Saturday, May 12 at 10:00 a.m. (PDT).

Yoselyn Ortega, the New York nanny suspected of brutally slaying two young children, was arrested and charged with murder Saturday.
Deputy Police Commissioner Paul Browne said in a statement:
"No longer intubated and recuperating from what appeared to be wounds she inflicted on herself at the crime scene, Ortega agreed to talk to New York City detectives this afternoon. After the interview, at 6:06 p.m. today, Ortega was formally arrested and charged with murdering both children."
Browne said the 50-year-old nanny was charged with two counts of first degree murder and two counts of second degree murder.
Ortega had worked for the Krim family for two years before the murders took place. She lived with her son and sister near the family's apartment off Central Park. She remains hospitalized at New York Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center for injuries she sustained while stabbing herself in front of the children's mother.
On Thursday, October 25, Marina Krim returned home after taking her 3-year-old to a swim class at the YMCA. She saw that the Manhattan apartment was dark and went to lobby to ask the doorman if Ortega and the children went out. The doorman said no, and Krim went back to the apartment and went into the bathroom. There she found her two children, 6-year-old Lucia, and Leo, who was days away from his second birthday.
It is believed that Ortega began stabbing herself at that moment.
Kevin Krim, the children's father and a CNBC executive, was on a business trip in San Francisco at the time of the murders. He flew home that night and was met by police at the airport.
Browne gave no details about Ortega's condition, nor he did give any information about a possible motive.

Franky Schaeffer has made a career of trying to get over himself and not succeeding. In Why I am an Atheist Who Believes in God: How to give love, create beauty and find peace(2014), he has written just the kind of book to seal his place in the hearts of those whom Alasdair MacIntyre calls the "readership of the New York Times," or at least to that part of it which shares the biases of those who write "that parish newsletter of affluent and self-congratulatory liberal enlightenment." Franky is clearly one of that readership's darling ex-fundamentalists.
On the one hand, he confirms their anti-religious biases by repeatedly savaging his fundamentalist parents as "deluded," mocking their belief in biblical miracles, and paying them backhanded complements like these:
[My parents] believed that to be kind is to be in tune with the way things are, or to be in tune with the way things would have been if there had been no fall from grace in the Garden of Eden. My evangelical parents were not stupid, so either they really didn't believe Eden existed, or some part of their otherwise intelligent brains snapped when they adopted the one-size-fits-all born-again version of American fundamentalist Christianity.On the other hand, he confirms his liberal readership's moral superiority (and salves his own conscience) by showing a kinder, gentler side to his revulsion at their fundamentalism by looking for positive reasons to appreciate the practical effects of their 'indoctrination' of him in the biblical 'myths' of his childhood:
Ironically, although mom and dad may have been deluded by their fundamentalist certainties, I am mostly at peace in my home ... because I was indoctrinated in knee-jerk guilt. I realize now that my parents were often right for the wrong reasons. For instance, I feel guilt when I shout at Lucy and Jack. And when it comes to the "big sins" I would not have burned in hell for sleeping with the many women I've looked at longingly, but adultery would have ruined my marriage and the home where I play with my grandchildren.Hence, although he mocks his parents' view of adultery as "derived from a tribal myth about God proclaiming the law from a mountaintop," he can still posture as exhibiting filial piety and gratitude for "sometimes liking the result of my parents' delusions" (emphasis mine).
What a stand-up fellow! His parents may have had ridiculously wrong reasons for the virtues they inculcated in him as a young lad, but they were right and praiseworthy insofar as their sentiments about those virtues conformed to those celebrated by his liberal readership. God help us. To see Franky as exhibiting the virtue of filial piety here would be like admiring the 'courage' of the terrorists who piloted their passenger jets into the Twin Towers on 9/11.
The mainstream reviews, of course, are predictably rapturous, cloying, fashionably liberal, and religiously obtuse: their darling ex-fundamentalist has seen the light, and his book is "extraordinary," "profound," "tender," "sensitive," "beautiful," "brilliant," "thought-provoking," "redemptive," "honest," filled with "great insight and unselfconscious humor" and "amazing grace."
Yet there is little if anything approaching real filial piety in this self-absorbed exercise in narcissistic therapy, even if there is much to admire artistically in this as in many of Franky's works (I, for one, superlatively enjoyed his autobiographical novel, Portofino, and would recommend it to almost anyone). Whatever artistic beauty and humor may be found in the present work, however, there is more than enough resentment, mockery and cynicism to make up for it.
What we see here is the Franky reflected in the image of his portrait on the cover of his book: an artist holding paint brushes and possessing many skills, yes; but a sad and bitter little old man who thinks he's being intellectually profound and beautiful (and witty) when he's really only wallowing self-indulgently in his own cynicism and depression. A "Christian atheist" or an "atheist Christian" is not a profundity. It is an absurdity. And that is a fact, no matter how much Franky may posture as intending to "give love, create beauty, and find peace."
One can only pray and hope that Franky's progeny will live to survive his legacy with more spiritual integrity, forgiveness, and joy than he has exhibited in his treatment of his parents. I feel genuinely sorry for him.

Mothballs And Peppermint Oil? Why These DIY Mice Control Tips Might Not Work
If mice invade your home, you may try to get rid of them with a few DIY tips you found online. But many of these DIY mice extermination tips, such as using peppermint oil, can leave you with more rodents than you can handle. In addition, some of the things recommended, such as placing mothballs around the house, can make your family and pets ill. Here are two DIY mice extermination tips that won't work and why.
Does Placing Mothballs in Home Work?
While a number of DIY sites tell you to place mothballs around the home, such as in the attic, basement and garage to get rid of mice, other concerned sites don't. Although mothballs work very well in treating moths in the home, they can cause numerous health problems when used incorrectly. Before you try this DIY mouse control method, keep reading.
Mothballs are extremely toxic when placed inside your home without the proper covering. Generally, you place mothballs in enclosed plastic containers to get rid of moths. Enclosed containers reduce the odors mothballs give off in the home.
But to get rid of mice, DIY mouse control and extermination sites want you to place individual mothballs in the corners of your rooms, beneath kitchen sinks and other places mice are known to frequent. This is a big mistake.
Mothballs emit dangerous fumes containing the pesticide naphthalene. Inhaling naphthalene can trigger a number of health problems that include:
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Seizures
In most cases, mice will leave the premises for a short while to avoid the dangerous smell. However, the mice will return once the mothballs' scent die down or the mothballs dissolve. The rodents might even get used to the mothball scent and make your home their permanent residence.
There's one more DIY tip you might try that won't work the way you want either. It involves using peppermint oil.
Can You Get Rid of Mice With Peppermint Oil?
Peppermint oil is an essential oil used to ease away stress, treat digestive ailments and many other issues. It's even used to flavor sweets, meats and other products. But if you use peppermint oil to treat your mice problem, you could be making another mistake.
Peppermint oil should deter mice because it gives off a strong scent. But just like mothballs, mice can actually become accustomed to the smell of peppermint oil. Instead of being deterred, the mice stay.
In addition, you need to reapply the oil frequently to keep the scent fresh. If you have respiratory problems, the strong scent of peppermint oil may aggravate you. There's a better way to treat your rodent problem. You simply call an exterminator.
What Should You Do Instead?
A mice exterminator can use safe and effective mouse control techniques that actually work. For instance, pest control can trap the rodents in a large container and physically remove them from the home. Using baited traps that contain peanut butter and other rodent-friendly foods may work as well.
Your exterminator can help you rodent-proof your home by showing you how to close up openings around the roof, eaves, attic, and other locations. Mice can crawl through very small spaces to get inside the home, so it's critical that you reinforce the home to keep them out.
Once the outside of the home is secure, you need to check indoors. Mice can chew holes through wood, plaster and other materials. You may wish to cover any openings you find with a steel wool. Steel wool is an excellent barrier against mice and other rodents.
Finally, have your pest control specialist visit your home on a regular schedule to ensure that it's rodent-free.
If you have concerns about your mice problem or how to get rid of them, contact your exterminator right away. You can also click here for more information.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Yoga1 from Disappointing material I bought this to wear to yoga and the colour is beautiful. Unfortunately, the material is rather rough and I assumed it would feel softer. Feels cheap to me. This was my first order from SB, and all three items are going back. I am surprised and disappointed.
