Suppliers of Military Lifting Equipment and Vehicle Restraint Systems
SpanSet Inter AG
SpanSet Ltd, in the UK, part of the International group of companies have supported the military market requirements as a main contractor and as a supplier to other prime contractors for our full range of lifting, load restraint, stowage, recovery, height safety and security products and services.
With the increased deployment of forces worldwide and the introduction of new platforms in response to the many diverse operational scenarios SpanSet Ltd has been active in minimising the risk to men and equipment within the important field of logistics and rapid deployment.The integration of SpanSet products into all aspects of the standard day-to-day operational procedures are evident in all areas of the three services.more
Military Lifting Equipment
Every vehicle, piece of equipment, munitions, rations etc at some point will be "lifted and shifted". SpanSet Ltd for over 30 years have responded to the complex logistical requirement and offered a design and manufacture facility to encompass synthetic and chain based load restraint and military lifting equipment, including the unique SpanSet Vario Sling.
In support of the DROP's project we developed the In-Service Tie-Down, which has now become the standard for all three services as a means to secure loads meeting the BSEN 12195-2 requirement now incorporating the patented Tension Force Indicator (TFI).
Vehicle Restraint Systems
The design and supply of load restraint equipment and vehicle restraint systems has included a move from our traditional synthetic product range. We were successful in winning the contract for the restraint systems for the Heavy Equipment Transporters (HET) and the Plant Trailer. These restraint systems were chain based and met the stringent BS EN 12195-3 specification.
There is a significant requirement for webbing based products within the field of wheeled and tracked vehicles. From compact high strength lightweight recovery strops and stowage nets, to internal and external restraint systems.
Lifting Strops
SpanSet Ltd design, manufacture and supply products for both fixed wing and rotary wing platforms.We are the only authorised manufacturer of Helicopter Underslung Load Equipment (HUSLE) lifting strops. Load restraint systems are also provided for internal loads in Chinook, C130 and C17.
SpanSet Ltd also acts as a design authority for restraints systems for internal loads such as the Long Range Insertion Craft for the Special Forces. We also design and supply ground support equipment to meet specific operational requirements.
Working at Heights Training
SpanSet Ltd is the nominated supplier for all working at height equipment, systems and associated working at heights training to the MoD and holds the contract to supply to all three services. Working at heights training is carried out at our custom-built training facility in Middlewich Cheshire, by our own professional instructors, each selected on merit, having achieved extensive experience and qualifications in their individual disciplines. Subject to suitability training can be carried out on the customers' site as required throughout the world or at the other SpanSet training facilites in Switzerland, Germany, US, Australia and Taiwan.
SpanSet Ltd strength is its ability to fuse together the many years of problem solving together with a large worldwide supply and design network to offer a complete solution to those many diverse operational issues.
Lashing Systems
A particularly important development has been the Tension Force Indicator (TFI) now available for 5, 10, 20 and 25 Ton systems. These ensure that a correct level of pretension has been achieved in the lashing systems. Because loads may have shifted during transport it is better to use tensioning devices that allow a controlled step-by-step release of the load so that accidents due to suddenly falling items can be avoided.
Chock blocks as well as SpanSet-Grip friction mats are highly recommended in order to increase the effectiveness of the systems and to increase safety even further. Depending on the nature of the load it may be advantageous to use a net based system in case it is fragmented and difficult to control in its constituent parts.
STINGER: Tyre Deflation Device
SpanSet Ltd are agents for the unique and highly successful STINGER, tyre deflation device and supply to the UK MoD for use by the elite special forces and enforcement officers. The STINGER is used worldwide as a weapon against the constant problem of joy riders up to the upper echelon of criminals to stop their fleeing vehicles in an effective, reliable and controlled manner with no threat to the public, deploying and pursuit officers.
Where has SpanSet Ltd been making an impact?
The Royal Navy and Royal Fleet Auxiliary
- SpanSet Ltd have designed and supplied vehicle & equipment restraint systems for HMS Ocean, HMS Bulwark, HMS Albion and the new family of Bay Class ships together with the Landing Craft LCU Mk 10.
- On board all surface ships there is an inventory of SpanSet "kits of parts" consisting of slings, metalwork etc to allow a whole matrix of lifting systems to be configured. This has resulted in each ship minimizing its stock of dedicated lifting equipment and providing greater versatility and scope of operation. All the equipment meets DEF STAN 02-187. SpanSet Ltd is the only company to achieve this status.
- The requirement for Replenishment at Sea has resulted in SpanSet successfully winning the contract to manufacture and supply the "RAS" net. This is a multi-purpose slotted webbing net used to transfer loads ship to ship.
- We also supply a full gambit of lifting systems for such complex loads as Radomes and Antenna's, Rigid Inflatable Boats and Workboats, Torpedo's and munitions etc. We have also supplied lifting system for vehicles from ship to shore. less

Developing a Counterfeit Testing ProgramPresenter: Cathy Moritz
Company: Trace Laboratories
Date Published: 5/25/2011
Description: Counterfeit and substandard parts and components have been a recurring theme in practically every market. For the last several years, the largest concern has been in the military and aerospace industries. Many of these re-marked and recycled parts are coming back into the US from electronic waste that was sent overseas. In an attempt to mitigate risk and potentially eliminate use of counterfeit and substandard parts, it is important to develop a counterfeit inspection procedure for incoming materials. This inspection can be as basic as a visual examination but becomes more successful at identifying potential counterfeit components and parts when a few more advanced techniques are employed. This webinar will present background regarding the counterfeit market as well as provide information on various tests and testing techniques for identification of counterfeit parts.
Types of Testing:
Visual X-ray Electrical Lead Finish (XRF, EDS) Remarking/Resurfacing Decapsulation/Delidding
Background Information
Types of Testing:
Key Words:
counterfeit electronic parts, testing, Lead Finish, Remarking/Resurfacing, Decapsulation/Delidding

However, did you know that Hawaii boasts its own paranormal activity. With the multitude of different people that live on the islands beliefs and activity are a mainstay.
One such place is the Plantation Village. This is an old area of Oahu that is actually an outdoor history museum that tells the story of the small houses with in the village that produced sugar cane from 1850 to 1950.
When you tour the village you step back in time as you visit 25 homes from the plantation that has many personal belongings of the people that lived there. The visitor also gets to view various plants brought from the various countries by the immigrants that landed there.
It has been reported that each of the houses has spirits of its own. Which makes sense considering the age of the plantation and that they are all centrally located on one plantation. Apparently, in some of the houses doors open and close on their own.
Other reports have been in the dining hall where un-embodied people have been heard moving around.

Forget WikiLeaks PMQs Wednesday had its own NickiLeaks.
"Text messages, allegedly from Tory council leader David Hodge and intended for someone in Whitehall named Nick, suggest the council was offered a "sweetheart deal" by the government. Theresa May suggested the Labour leader was using "alternative facts" for his attack - but failed to explain what deal if any had been offered to Surrey council."
January 19, we posted a report titled "TORY SURREY COUNTY COUNCIL LOOKING AT 15% COUNCIL TAX RISE." Surrey Conservative County Council had announced plans to hold a referendum as it looked at increasing Council Tax by 15%.. The council was citing much needed funding for social care as the cause of this whopping tax hike.
At PMQs Wednesday the jig was up though.
Leader of the official opposition Jeremy Corbyn, Labour, is in possession of leaked emails which appear to show a deal between the Tory council and government done to prevent the required local referendum on the proposed excessive council tax hike.
Unelected PM Theresa May, Tory, squirmed and resorted to her normal defensive modus operandi attempting to attack Corbyn personally.
She showed herself to be guilty as charged.
The mainstream media have been quick to pick up the story.
"Jeremy Corbyn stuns Theresa May with secret texts 'exposing special deal' for Tory council" reports the Daily Mirror.
Helping out Tory councils in Tory heartlands may be nothing new from this government but it may be to some voters.
February 2016 "Tory Councils In South Get Most Of £300m 'Cushion' From Cuts - As Labour's Northern Heartlands Miss Out."
Wednesday David Hodge leader of Surrey County Council has posted the following update on the Surrey website:

|L-R; Area Manager, NIWA; MD LASWA and Commissioner of Waterfront leaving Ijede Jetty
The National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) has said that it would collaborate with the Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA) to improve the regulatory framework for water transportation in the state.
He said the partnership would strengthen efficiency in water transportation in Lagos State and boost the compliance of boat operators to safety standards and the approved modes of operation.
Sambo spoke against the backdrop of recurring cases of boat mishaps in the state.
He said: ``We decided to collaborate when I had a chance meeting with the new managing director of LASWA, who was introduced to me by the Commissioner for Waterfront Infrastructure Development.
``We resolved that as regulatory agencies of government, we have a common purpose, and if we indeed have a common purpose, there is no reason why we should not collaborate.
``We believe that some operators are taking undue advantage of the disconnect between us by short-changing members of the public in the provision of their services,'' he said.
Sambo added that the formulation of common standards and compliance arrangements would compel boat operators to acquire better boats, improve safety and provide better services to the public.
On the Jan. 30 boat mishap at Ijede, in Ikorodu, which claimed seven lives, Sambo said both NIWA and LASWA have agreed to revisit the appeal by boat operators for the use of open-roof boats.
NAN reports that some boat operators had called for the use of such boats because they believed it would reduce the risk of passengers getting trapped in the boats during emergencies.
The manager noted that the casualty figures from such incidents would not have been high if the boats were designed with adequate facilities to enable passengers to be able to escape in emergency situations.
He, however, added that all passengers of the ill-fated boat were strapped with their life jackets during the trip.
Sambo, therefore, advised boat operators to ensure that they complied with the best safety requirements, to make their trips safe.

The stock low beam lights on my BMW GS F650 twin were barely visible, and had little range. Even the high beams left me unsatisfied so I made it a personal rule to not ride at night – unless circumstances are beyond my control. Even in the daylight I wasn't confident of my visibility.
Review of CYCLOPS B15 LED AUXILIARY LIGHT KIT, and LED HEADLIGHT
As an MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) Instructor one of the points we emphasize with our students is See and Be Seen – broaden your perspective, and be more visible to drivers. Motorcyclists are often hit by vehicles because the driver 'did not see' the motorcycle. We also teach about risk management – believe it or not, you are NOT at the mercy of other drivers, there are numerous ways a rider can decrease the risk of a collision. Many veteran riders share stories of their friend's making unsafe riding choices (ranging from riding in a driver's blind spot, or riding in all black at dusk with a tiny dim headlight or taillight and no reflective material on their person or bike) that have ended in crashes or fatalities – its nothing short of alarming and often could have been avoided with some basic training and adjustments.
Installing Cyclops LED headlight bulbs, and B15 auxiliary lights on my bike has definitely increased my visibility. It doesn't guarantee I won't be hit. After all 18-wheeler semi-trucks are hit, neon yellow cars are hit, and brightly dressed motorcyclists are sometimes hit too, but if I can make some simple adjustments to increase my visibility to reduce the chance of being hit, it's a no-brainer.
My partner Shal and I bought the Cyclops BMW F series LED headlight bulbs at the 2014 Touratech Rally, and the Cyclops B15 LED Auxiliary Light Kit at the 2016 Rally. Cyclops' Founder & CEO Darryl VanNieuwenhuise expertly installed the kits for us, although in looking at the install instructions we could have done it ourselves, but Darryl is a nice guy and offered so who are we to refuse such service? Since we're not big fans of night riding, our main intention was to be more visible during the day without blinding oncoming drivers these lights truly surpassed our expectations. For example, when Shal and I lead tours of up to 8 riders, more often than not, even in the daylight I can see Shal who is riding sweep better than the rider immediately behind me in dim lights. No exaggeration.
Just because I'm more visible, I try to not have a false sense of security. I still ride as though cars can't see me – and I try to consistently make choices to reduce my risk of a crash. I do know that I am more visible after installing the Cyclops LED lights and it just seems like a smarter way to ride. I have had the opportunity to ride at night with these lights – the depth and width of range leaves me feeling like I've ridden out of the fog compared to my stock lights which offer only about 3000 lumens total from the halogen bulbs, compared to 6600 lumens from the Cyclops LED bulbs. With the combination of the brighter headlight and auxiliary lights, I can see much farther ahead for potholes, road debris, and more to the side of the road where deer are at the ready to pounce across the road. In the backcountry these lights illuminate the obstacles in my path so I can proceed more confidently and safely. And of course the benefits of LED over halogen – LEDs are brighter, last longer, and draw less power.
As if that weren't enough, the Cyclops B15 auxiliary lights operate with your stock high and low beam controls. How cool is that?! Other brands require that you install and operate an additional switch. I'm grateful for these lights, and for innovators like Cyclops for designing products to keep us safe and enjoying the ride.
See and be seen!

By N.K.A. Ballal, Retd. Sr. Vice-President, ITDC
A recent government order asking doctors to prescribe medicines by their generic names and not by brands has sent the medical community into a tizzy. But a basic question comes first: Are our generic medicines manufactured for internal consumption safe? Ironically, India is the largest manufacturer of generic medicines for export. The inspection by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is very strict and our manufacturers bend backwards to ensure that they meet stringent standards and so the medicines are safe. But when it comes to our own domestic consumption, why do manufacturers relax norms?
I have spoken to several doctors based abroad and they informed me that they are forced by insurance companies to prescribe generic medicines only and the branded medicines as an exception. Here in India it is other way round. There are more than 30,000 small, medium and large companies manufacturing medicines in India and the drug controller just does not have the manpower or the experts required to check these units.
The government wants doctors to be the epitome of honesty. When doctors have to shell out crores of rupees for a MD seat, how can one expect him or her to be honest? Unlike other professions, doctors start making good money only after their 40th year of practice and not before that. Also to expect pharmacy companies in India who have practiced deceitful and dishonest ways for the last 60 years to suddenly become honest and principled is also too far-fetched. The 'chaltha hai' attitude is the way we have been brought up so far and it will continue.
Let us first understand as to why branded medicines are costlier? Simple. It is not just the cost of manufacturing of the molecule but also the cost of research and development which may run to millions of dollars. It takes years of research to develop a safe molecule for human consumption. By law the companies are allowed to manufacture these branded medicines for ten years and thereafter the same medicines can be manufactured for generic purpose. In theory, the company should have recovered the cost of the R&D in those ten years.
Most hospitals have a pharmacy in their premises which sells branded medicines for outpatients and generic for inpatients. Generic medicines are supposed to cost much lesser because of lower marketing and distribution costs. As a practice, generics are mostly sold to hospitals and local pharmacies stock branded medicines only. The market price of generic should be, in theory, much lower than the branded medicines. But in reality it is not so. Even the Drug Controller does not have the manpower to check the high pricing. So Pharma majors and hospitals continue to fleece gullible patients.
A recent report of a survey showed shocking results. Three manufacturers of the popular anti-biotic "amoxycyllin" had a printed MRP of Rs. 241, Rs. 87 and Rs. 108 while its generic version manufactured by three other parties carried a printed price of Rs. 260, Rs. 270 and Rs. 267! Ironically, the same manufacturer was selling the branded version for Rs. 87 and generic version for Rs. 270. In some cases, it was found that the invoice price of a drug to the hospital Pharma was a measly Rs. 6 whereas the printed price on the label was an astounding Rs. 90 which was the price a patient was paying!
It is a fact that many a medium-sized Pharma companies are puppets in the hands of large hospital chains that dictate or control the invoice price, the margins, the MRP, etc. [Inputs of the report penned by Dr. Rajendra Damera, a practicing surgeon].
Pharma industry and the doctors in general have created a deliberate myth that the generic version available in the market is substandard and cannot be relied upon. How can one expect the patient, who is desperate to get a cure for the disease, to react? They would want to get the best treatment and thus go and buy branded medicines in spite of having a generic version which in theory is much cheaper. The government in its wisdom has told the doctors to prescribe only molecules but how can we trust Pharma guys? For higher profits, they may palm off some cheap version of medicines manufactured by so many small and unorganised companies?
Is there a solution in sight? Yes, it is possible if the government asks certain medicines to be manufactured only in generic versions. Secondly, several companies resort to sell a same molecule in different brand names, adding to the confusion. This practice has to be nipped immediately. Thirdly, Pharma companies must be asked to sell generic versions to local pharmacist too apart from hospitals. Lastly, the government must open more "Jan Aushadi" outlets all over the districts and this department must be headed by an honest bureaucrat for the first three years at least.
It is not easy to beat the nexus between Pharma companies and major hospital chains. Hospitals too put a lot of pressure on doctors to prescribe unnecessary tests and medicines. It requires a detailed study and expertise to go into details of each and every transaction. Not feasible. There is also a requirement for the government to align the Central and State regulatory frameworks to ensure a uniform quality monitoring system. Every generic drug sold in the market should have some distinct hologram on the packaging to ensure that the manufacturer has been checked for quality and efficiency of the molecule.
As I was penning this article, the government has clarified its order. It has allowed the doctors to write the brand name of the medicines along with the name of the molecule.
To conclude, there are three varieties of medicines in the market: Branded, branded generic and generic-generic. Is there a way to identify these from its packaging? Does a common man or woman have the time, inclination or know-how to find out the details of all this when purchasing? They just would depend on the integrity of the pharmacist or the doctor who is prescribing these medicines.
Half of our population do not even understand what is written in the prescription or the packaging of the medicines. It may take several decades for the literacy and awareness to grow to a level where patients can question either the doctor or the pharmacist. Large Pharma companies, insurance and hospital chains are fleecing patients even in developed countries like USA. What can one expect in a developing economy like ours?

It goes without saying that having some fashion-forward yet functional athletic apparel in your wardrobe may make you more motivated to hit the gym. We're not just talking about cute patterns or bright colors, either — but the kind of pieces that also practically address all of your needs during a sweat session. If you're a curvy woman, there's a specific set of requirements your fitness apparel needs to meet to make the cut. But there's no reason why you should compromise on style just to accommodate your body type.
Whether you're looking to nail that warrior pose, train for a half marathon or boost your boxing skills, you deserve to look — and feel — good doing it. Luckily, we rounded up some of the best fitness apparel from size-inclusive companies, from flattering tanks to supportive sports bras.
Best basic legging
The brand Addition Elle has been around for more than 30 years with the motto "fashion democracy in sizes 12 to 26." NOLA is the company's partnership with body-positive supermodel Ashley Graham, and it includes a vast array of eye-catching activewear for plus-sized women. You can't go wrong with the Nola Run Sculpting Legging Capris — they boast compression technology and a wide-waistband, which helps with shaping from the waist down, smoothing and flattering your hips, stomach and legs. To boot, the body mapping on these leggings promise increased ventilation so you stay cool and comfortable throughout your sweat session.
Best long-sleeved pullover
Katie Kozloff is a former fitness trainer who noticed that plus-sized clients in her classes were struggling to find stylish workout apparel. So she founded her own line, Katie K Active — and every single design is fit on plus-sized models to ensure they're flattering. The Propel Funnel-Neck Pullover is an ideal layering piece for workouts during the cooler seasons, with 4-way stretch moisture-wicking performance fabric and thumbholes on the sleeves to keep your hands warm. A wide bottom band and the extra length lend some coverage and contouring anti-chafe seams offer comfort and subtle shaping at the same time.
Best sports bra
There's no doubt that a well-constructed plus size sports bra is essential to any workout, whether you're doing cardio, strength training or anything in between. This is especially true with high-impact activity, such as running, HIIT and plyometrics. Opt for a plus size high impact sports bra, which is specifically designed to control bounce during intense exercise. We suggest the Glamorise Sport Underwire Sport Bra, which features seamless double-layer cups for bounce reduction, moisture-wicking fabric and two-way stretch in the back for maximum comfort.
Best tee
The name says it all: Marika Curves is all about designing activewear that allows you to embrace your figure, no matter what kind of physical activity you're engaging in. When you're seeking a workout top that has sleeves but is still practical for warmer weather, look no further than the Emma slimming tee, which is constructed of soft, stretchy Dry-Wik fabric as well as power mesh, which is known for its compression capabilities. The V-neck and shirred curve seams have an instant slimming effect, and it comes in a slew of both neutral as well as bright colors.
Best tank
Juno Active, which was created over 20 years ago, is specifically aimed at women sizes XL to 6X, and all of the clothing is designed using plus-sized models to make the patterns. The brand offers gear for a wide range of activities, from running and swimming to tennis and yoga, and all the prices are remarkably budget-friendly. The Stretch Naturals Long Support Tank allows for free movement in a blend of cotton and Lycra with a hint of spandex, features a chafe-free inner shelf, and it comes in a multitude of striking hues. The v-neck front and modified racerback back provide a sleek silhouette, and you can easily wear it tucked in our out of your workout bottoms, or layered under a zip-up.
Best fun leggings
Sometimes basic black leggings just won't cut it. On days when you need a little extra dose of color and print to inspire your workout, slip on a pair by Lineagewear. The line quickly became known for its universally flattering leggings in eye-catching patterns, like the super popular watercolor leggings, which are available in sizes up to 5X and have sold out more than once. The high waist, contoured shape, angled inseam and lightweight, moisture-wicking fabric make these leggings a godsend no matter what kind of exercise you're performing.

Psyhic Defence
Everybody, who is involved in esotery knows the importance of self defence. I have tried loads of stuff suggested by friends and somehow nothing worked properly. Years went by when finally I stumbled upon this book that 'saved my life". From here I not only learnet techniques, but also understood more deeply how these energies work. Since then I have no issues 🙂
So I suggest you click on the link and grab your copy! You can also read into the book before buying. Believe me, this will be an investment worth every penny 🙂
The Secret To Irresistible Confidence
Do you want to have more confidence in your life? Do you want to feel solid and fearless in everything you do, including relationships
Would you like to have real self-confidence? I'm talking about the kind of confidence that is rooted so deep it is literally unshakable. I'm talking about the kind of confidence you see in a mother when she needs to protect her infant. There's no self-doubt or bashfulness. Her actions flow from a place of certainty. Emotions may be present, but they do not run the show. Her mind remains resolutely focused on the goal. You can't pull rank on her and she doesn't care how big you are or what kind of car you drive.
What if you could have that kind of confidence when you approach the dating scene? Not the fierce part, but the confident, secure part. That kind of confidence comes from knowing with certainty what you want. That kind of certainty comes from having a solid plan and no hesitation to take action when you see the openings you know to look for.
Wouldn't it feel great? Wouldn't you love to have an unshakable sense of purpose, identity and direction when it comes to meeting and interacting with men? I'd like you to have that confidence and I have a few tips to move you in that direction.
Always start with you.
If you are absolutely sure of what you want, you won't feel nervous about making relationship decisions. The more certain you become about what you want in a relationship and a man, the more confidence you will feel about setting boundaries, asking for what you want, or pursuing someone who might or might not reciprocate your interest.
Embrace "Failure"
Letting go of fear becomes easier when you accept "failure" as a valuable strategy. Dorothea Brande has been quoted for her famous statement on the best method to achieve success, "Act as though it is impossible to fail." Combine this with the wisdom of T.J. Watson, the president of IBM. "Would you like the formula for success?" Watson asks. "Double your rate of failure."
How can you succeed by failing more often? Many successful people swear by this method. If you are always cautious and terrified of mistakes, you don't try much and you don't learn much. People who are willing to fail embrace it and lose their fear of taking action in the process.
When it comes to dating…you will fail some of the time. The only way to be highly confident when dating is to accept failure as a part of the dating process. Don't think of setbacks and letdowns as something terrible that needs to be controlled at all costs. Instead, embrace failure as something natural that is "okay." Embracing this simple shift in your belief system can dramatically increase your confidence.
Always Know Your BATNA
BATNA stands for "best alternative to negotiated agreement." It's a concept that has been extremely useful to me in many different areas of my life. Basically, it's about forming an unshakable sense of certainty when negotiating for what you want.
I wish it wasn't the case, but the unfortunate truth is men often need to be told how to behave in relationships. It's like we men are kind of wild. We're not tame beasts. We can love passionately, but sometimes we need a woman to compassionately explain what is and what is not okay, and to do so with the kind of certainty and steady gaze that lets us know she's telling us how it is rather than "discussing emotions."
Imagine you go to your landlord to complain about the broken stairway railing. Knowing your BATNA before you start the conversation gives you a tremendous advantage (and boosts your confidence). Let's say you have nowhere else to live and know you can't afford the other rental options in town. In that case, your best alternative to getting him to agree to fix that railing might be to ignore it for a while.
On the other hand, you may have plenty of options for other rental situations. In that case, your BATNA is clear. If, after negotiating for a few minutes, he does not agree to have it fixed on his dime by next Friday, you tell him you are moving out at the end of the month. Suddenly you have the upper hand in the negotiation. You can afford to push the issue, because if he doesn't eventually agree, you can pull out your BATNA. In this case, your BATNA is to threaten moving out, because you know it really is a better option to you than living with the broken banister.
In relationships, you should negotiate for what you want. Do so in a way that gives full respect to the other person's right to walk away from a relationship rather than agree to your terms. When you know what you want in a relationship, you can talk about it openly. When you have a BATNA about certain issues (like intimacy, moving in, commitment, or spending time together), you don't have to agonize about, "What if he gets mad and leaves me." Your confidence is high when you already worked out in your mind that you would be better off looking for someone more compatible if he doesn't agree on certain key issues that matter a lot to you.
Rely more on Attraction than Chasing
Most women have at least some degree of innate understanding of the factors that attract men. But this article is about SUPER confidence, not mediocre confidence. Let's say you've realized that your choice of mate is THE MOST IMPORTANT life decision you can make. Doesn't that mean you should try to understand your man as deeply as possible?
The problem is that men are mysterious, even to themselves. They often don't understand their own emotions and desires. This makes it rather difficult to know how to maximally attract them while sidestepping the landmines that can obliterate a relationship just when it was getting good.
If you'll allow me to be so bold, I would like to invite you to try something interesting. As a dating coach and a man with a mission to understand men's reactions to women, I have discovered something very, very valuable. It's an organizing principle that seems to change the dating game for those who learn about it. I call it the Respect Principle, and if you'd like to learn more about it, I've shared a free presentation on the topic below.
Confidence comes naturally to those who have a strong sense of certainty. I want to support you as you develop confidence and the skills to attract quality men into your life. In this article I've given you what I believe to be some of the most universally helpful tips for building confidence for dating. But if you really want to take your confidence with men to the next level, spend a few more minutes to learn why the Respect Principle is something your man is deeply affected by, yet unable to put into words.

Homemade Toothpaste
I'm not sure everybody knows that I love organic homemade products. I rarely buy any products from shops any longer. I buildt my network of homemade stuff suppliers and I also love doing and experimenting. Today I show two recipes for homemade toothpaste here – I can tell you they work from my own experience! and the recipes are easy to follow and ready in 5 minutes 🙂 What can be better than that? The first one is the one in the image. And the recipe?
Mix a mashed berry with a little baking soda. Its a natural tooth whitener. See more here
Today I'm going to make this as I bought some strawberries from local farmers – I know, I know they are delicious, but one strawberry used for whitening my teeth is acceptable for me 🙂
The other one: DIY toothpaste This image is from my homemade toothpaste from about 2 years ago. -Yes, I'm Hungarian – if you were wondering about the language on the label. I have since made several types but the basics is this recipe found here. Now you can make your own too in literally 2-5 minutes. They are extremely cheap to make but very effective and organic.
William And Kate
I just watched the film about Prince William and Kate Middleton and I have to tell you I loved it. It successfully showed their personality in an enjoyable way.
What I really like about this "story" is that it is kind of a fairy tale become true. I'm so glad for Kate – she really deserves to be treated well. She is not just beautiful but intelligent and highly sociable as well.
For me it was a time well spent by watching this video – surely a lot better than even some of the Hollywood ones. As a reviewer put it: "I purchased this film even though I had seen it before. It was poignant and most enjoyable. The acting was superb."
You can buy the video by clicking here: William and Kate (2011)
Talking about my hobbies – knitting
Now that winter is approaching we tend to spend more time inside…. This is the time of the year when I get creative on the field of knitting.
On the left you can see some of the beauties I made with my bamboo knitting needles. Why bamboo? You can find it out by clicking here: Why I love my circular bamboo knitting needles kit.
Now I have to finish a skirt and pullover set that I didn't finish last year. Only the sleeves are missing and then sewing and DONE! Can't wait to wear this set.
I don't know about you but I have knitting cycles – meaning that when I feel like it I do a lot, then drop it and don't do anything for month. This is how I have 3 different projects to finish. As I am spiritual as well I'll do this finishing business thinking about putting an end to some issues I face in my life. Thus, I will also have space for new things to arrive into my life. Everything is connected to everything – so let's just make use of this concept.
I'm very practical you see. I always try everything out and see if it works in real life. If it does I will use it, if it doesn't well it goes into the rubbish bin.
Do you love knitting or handcraft? Please share in the comments below!
Ronan Farrow to Host MSNBC Show
Ronan Farrow, the only biological son of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen is probably going to host his own program on MSNBC. He is on the way of becoming a superhero in my terms of using that word.
He is only 25 but has already been involved as an activist in a lot of programs like Aids in Africa or children caught in armed conflicts. While most young people are just starting their career at this age he has already written for multiple publications including The Wall Street Journal, International Herald Tribune and The Atlantic curving his career out.
Now I like having role models, people who I can look up to and see how I can become a better person. Another such hero in my eyes is Kristine Barnett who has done wonders not only with her own autistic son, but hundreds of children suffering from this "disease". If you want to know more about her method read her book called: The Spark: A Mother's Story of Nurturing Genius.
I actually started the habit to look out for positive news on the net. In a previous post I wrote about the importance of having a bug free mind, that is if we are in control of our minds we can create whatever we want – we become the creators. To achieve this it is of paramount importance to have positive thought – to help ourselves attract what we want into our lives. I'm kind of hooked up on this topic I know but I really believe in the power of our minds!

Remove Search.pollicare.com virus (Removal Guide) - Dec 2017 update
Pollicare is yet another downloader that can hijack your system
Pollicare is a downloader that can alter your browser settings and Mac operating system. Besides, it can clutter your iOS with additional spyware[1] and similar potentially unwanted software, such as search.pollicare.com, without your knowledge. Thanks to these features, the virus was added to the "browser hijacker" category.
It turns out that Pollicare belongs to the same developer as Mogobiggy and Romandos virus. All of them can also sneak into the system unnoticed because it has been actively relying on bundling. When inside your computer, it performs modifications on each of available browsers and makes the discussed URL as a default search engine and a homepage.
Consequently, the victim starts experiencing redirects to this page daily and receives Genieo Yahoo Search results whenever trying to get some important information using Search.pollicare.com search engine.
If you haven't heard about Genieo (by Genieo innovation, Ltd.), it is a highly annoying content recommendation software that might infiltrate your Mac all of a sudden.[2] It happens without user's knowledge since the Pollicare employs sneaky distribution techniques to establish itself on victim's computer. Please pay attention that "Genieo" next to Yahoo search results in the tab name is a warning sign that reveals Genieo's existence in your computer.
Typically, Genieo injects ads in your search results to earn the money from advertising. These paid search results help the developers of Pollicare generate pay-per-click revenue. The scheme is very simple – by pushing sponsored offers to computer users and redirecting them to predefined sites, they can receive a commission fee.
However, external sites accessed via Pollicare can strongly disappoint the user and what is even worse, pose a threat to one's security and privacy. No one has time to read Privacy Policies and user reviews online, which means users can face potential risks while exploring Genieo search results.
To prevent these dangers, we strongly advise you not to use the defined search tool and eliminate the browser-hijacking software immediately. For Pollicare removal, consider using Reimage Reimage Cleaner Intego. Besides, if your web browsers are hacked, you are highly recommended to reset your web browser which is affected by this browser hijacker. Otherwise, it will continue redirecting you to sponsored sites.
Search.pollicare.com redirect virus is the cause of unwanted problems on Mac. Typically, it causes browser redirects, shows pop-up ads and slows down the entire system.
Distribution of the downloader
The suspicious Pollicate downloader is promoted via suspicious file sharing sites, but Zondervirus.nl experts say[3] that most of the time, it travels in unison with other Mac freeware such as games or system tools that promise to provide outstanding features. Let us provide a fact sheet that explains how potentially unwanted programs sneak into the system unnoticed:
- The only mistake that guarantees installation of unwanted applications is the need to install new programs as quickly as possible.
- People forget that information written in fine print is very important. Therefore, if they simply rush through the installation and ignore alternative installation options such as Custom or Advanced, they risk installing unwanted junkware instantly.
- Do not be afraid of Custom or Advanced installation options. If possible, always customize the installation – it allows you to see extra items added to your download and deselect them to avoid their installation. That is exactly what you need to do in order to delete the described threat from your Mac.
- Choosing Default or Standard options simply mean choosing installation options that grant installation of every possible extra you do not need in your life. That is the main reason to avoid these installation modes.

The new concrete base will be ready after 6 days if weather permit. On top of this tower will go the 6 element monobander for 15m by M2 and OB12-4 by optibeam. With that phase 2 will be completed.

One of the unexpectedly fun things about having children is getting to do activities you'd never get around to doing if you didn't have them. Take the International Kite Festival in Dieppe, for instance. Before Amelia, I wouldn't have gone, even though it sounds neat – a whole festival of kites! But knowing how much Amelia loves kites, I packed her up in the car yesterday afternoon for the drive.
These are not the kites I remember from my childhood! Acrobatic displays with multiple kites dancing to music; kites shaped like lizards, fish, birds, strawberries, and giant eyeballs – the Dieppe International Kite Festival was a lot of fun for both me and Amelia.
There are a few things you should know about the 2013 kite festival, and their website doesn't cover it all, so read on to learn from our experience!

Food went very wonky yesterday afternoon. After lunch my stomach would not settle, so I skipped snack2. I've updated fitday on the cooler page for yesterday's meals. Today, though light, is all clean. I had to hang out at home this morning waiting for the UPS man to deliver a package (requiring signature) then rush to the office. Whole day feels disjointed. Weird.
Anyone have special plans for the weekend? I do! :-) Bill and I are planning to go see the new Resident Evil movie (not the 3D version). I love those films, so we're doing a quasi-marathon. We watched the first movie last night, tonight will be one or two others, then we'll be ready either Saturday or Sunday to see the new one. PLUS tomorrow is my spa day! :-) Woooohooo! I'm so ready for this! :-)
