Trinity Boxing Club captain Kyle Hughes was in top form on Friday night in Birmingham when he took on home club boxer Courtney Philip on the Aston Police show at the Holiday Inn.
The Trinity middleweight star took control early on and stunned the local man with a big left hook that bought gasps from the packed crowd at this annual dinner boxing tournament.
The local man tried to stay with the pace and replied with some big punches, but many missed the target and Hughes replied with accurate counter punches.
Hughes put the pressure on in the second round and forced a standing count with heavy punches.
Early in the third round Hughes opened up again and put the local man in trouble with big combinations as he imposed himself once more.
Philip fought back gamely but the Trinity man took a convincing unanimous decision and received a big ovation from the appreciative home crowd for an outstanding performance.
Also on this show, youth boxer Macauley Cartwright gave a determined performance but was on the wrong end of a controversial split decision.
Cartwright was always in command but received a public warning towards the end of the third round for hitting the turning target of the home boxer.
This seemed harsh but cost the Trinity lad the decision .
Trinity coach Scott Rafferty said: "These were great performances from both lads as they continue to develop. Fights like this will help them to make progress."

Personal Labyrinth (a similarity to Looking for Alaska)
We have all encountered struggles in life, in the remnant society that deprives us all from our conscious strength to stabilize ourselves both personally and emotionally. We have always tried to maintain ourselves and our sanity to keep our minds alive. We don't always find ourselves going the right paths in life because every path is designed by how we choose to guide our lives and what we attempt to guide emerges the difficulties and complicated what we really need to be. The paths we have to choose from implicate the distresses and defiance of self guidance and maintenance for the energy to keep ourselves strong and never weak that dissolves and rises back depending on the obstacles we allow us to be effected by. Our emotions begin to reside into the darkness and we try to find them again to the light of our minds that keeps us in neutrality or happiness but then we require what will help us evacuate multiple realities that radiate different realms in our thoughts which we struggle to make the best of for our personal lives. And for me it was to be conscious and tolerant to my obstacles than suffering to handle them and let them be in our lives by permanency. I do what enhances my self control and evaluates my life in ordinance and compassion to not remain weak. I stay vibrant and cautious of my surroundings to blockade from effecting my in ways that contribute to my dark energies that emit and cause the bad nature who we see as hate.

Component business in India has again started picking up with rise in gamers and tech enthusiasts. The passing year saw many component brands bringing high end products to cater these emerging needs. But traditional partners hold the success of such brands. Abacus Peripherals, the leading distribution house in India aims to cater to every need of the customer in all parts of the country in the shortest possible time through wide channel network. Vipul Modi, VP Marketing & Sales shares his overall channel plans with DT.
DT: What have been the crucial milestones for your company during year 2017?
Mr. Vipul: Abacus has had a wonderful year in terms of brands associations. We entered the calendar year with the launch of BLAZE DDR4 – An addition to already existing Xtreme Gaming Series from Zion RAM; in Q2 we became the proud distributors of Corsair- The Global leader in Computer components,and have steadily increased the market share of the Inno3D GPU in India. We are overwhelmed with the consumer responses for our channel brands – Antec & Biostar who have launched some impeccable products in the Gaming vertical.
DT: What were the major challenges for distribution business in India?
Mr. Vipul: Talking about distribution, rampant availability of the refurbished products is one of the main reason behind distribution housessuffering a number of exasperating setbacks. The second challenge is channel liquidity. Uncertainty in the market due to implication of new rules and regulations had created liquidity concerns in the market.
DT: How has GST changed your business affair in year 2017?
Mr. Vipul: GST has created a significant impact in the Indian IT market. One that has worked most in our favour is the import of products through grey channel, due to GST implication the grey channel has been adversely affected which has created a level play-field for business in the IT sector. Going ahead, it will organize the channel and encourage dealers to buy genuine products. Overall for the IT sector it is beneficial because lots of new systems have been bought to keep proper accounting. Furthermore, GST has made relatively smoother flow of business across states for us.
DT: What's your channel strength currently in India? How do you plan to boost channel strength in 2018.?
Mr. Vipul: We are currently working with 4000+ channel partners across 300+ cities and towns. With a vision tocarter partners present across the length and breadth of the country, we are setting up standard marketing policy for our partners,the plan is to give them revenue rebate on the top of the line products bulk purchases. Alignment of few channel activities has been planned by the marketing team for channel activation. This year however we will engage more and more with the end consumer, but being said that it will indirectly benefit the channel partner.
DT: What will be new vendor agreement we may see in year 2018?
Mr. Vipul: Abacus has set an aggressive mindset to increase the Brands in its existing basket. We are already in discussion with few brands and the financials are being set in place and we shall soon announce the news. We are clear that we want to cater only the high-end market where products and brands are associated with games or gaming industry.
DT: Please share your current revenue and market growth rate. What is the target for the year 2018? How do you plan to achieve this target?
Mr. Vipul: The fiscal policies and demand for alternate currency has created a significant market demand for high end computer components which has worked well for us. We have achieved a YOY growth of 25% and with addition of more global brands to the Abacus basket we estimate to achieve 30% YOY growth in 2018. Ourfocus is to bring more feature rich products and set up a system to help partners in effectively reselling of the High end brands.

Do you enjoy being hospitable or is it more effort than it's worth? Do you struggle with insecurity over an undecorated house or lack of confidence in your cooking skills? You are not alone, sister! But it's important to move past those roadblocks #sothat you can experience and share the blessing of being hospitable. My good friend Jen Schmidt is here today to share with you her strong message of the blessing of hospitality. Don't miss the giveaway at the end!
Excerpted with permission from Just Open the Door by Jen Schmidt. Copyright 2018, B&H Publishing Group.
For so many moms, our desire is to create a home that is a soft place to land for our children, yet it's also their learning lab. Just as we bear responsibility to create a welcoming environment for them, we also need to show them how to grow a welcoming heart toward others. This gives us a whole new reason for allowing life-on-life ministry to flow in and out of our homes: it cultivates within our kids a generational legacy of hospitality and service. They learn it by watching; they learn it by doing.
Our sons and daughters, our boys and girls, our teens and college students—the children (or grandchildren) right under our roof—represent the thought leaders of the future in work, ministry, worldview, ethics, and culture. We are training and discipling a new generation of world changers. Yes, it's an overwhelming and nearly paralyzing concept at times, one that can seem far beyond our reach to accomplish. But it's a calling we should receive as the highest privilege given. And I can't think of a better way of doing it—of tangibly exhibiting missional living—than by simply creating a life-giving home that says welcome. As we reshape our preconceived notions about hospitality and align them with God's Word, we create a powerfully interactive life lab for our children. And an exciting new legacy for our family.
Think of it. Through this "welcome home" lens, our children begin to view every person God brings through our doors as divine interventions amid their everyday life. By watching us serve, they learn how to partner with us by living out the Great Commandment and sharing the gospel. As we demonstrate how much we value those different from us, as we affirm others' unique personalities and listen to their stories, our kids learn to do the same. Through hands-on interaction with us, they see what it means to be the hands and feet of Jesus by becoming the church of God in our own home. As we walk alongside them, they're able to imitate us in living a life on purpose.
It's all part of Deuteronomy 6 parenting: "These words that I am giving you today are to be in your heart. Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up" (vv. 6–7).
It's not easy, no. But as the Lord is quick to remind me, I'm not so easy either.
In fact, let me say—in terms of viewing my home as a learning lab—the lessons start with me. Home may be the heart of my most important ministry, but regrettably it's also the place where my sin bubbles over more often than anywhere else. I fumble through many days begging the Lord that His power would be made perfect in my weakness. Home is where I am the most exposed, the most exhausted, where my family sees the good, the bad, and everything in between.
But because of this, it's also where the transformative power of Christ can best be seen in me. It's the place where He's most likely to begin chiseling away at my sinful heart, drawing me closer to Him and showering me with His sufficient grace. And just as serving others in Jesus' name proves to be the antidote for my own self-centeredness, it works in my children's hearts as well. Just as living a life of welcome roots me, shifts my focus toward others, and stops my wandering heart, it does the same for them.
Living a life of welcome lets us cast a long-term, multigenerational vision for our children. By being part of a welcoming home, they learn tangible life skills that allow hospitality to become a natural outflow of their lives, regardless of their gifting or personalities. They're being equipped day by day to enter the future knowing how to build community in an age of isolation, how to make memories in a generation mobilized by technology, how to create an environment of discipleship among people yearning for godly mentors.
That's creating legacy. Right here. In the laboratories of our own homes.

Just Open the Door , by Jen Schmidt
For many of us, inviting people into our lives and homes feels more like inviting judgment on our entertaining skills and stress on our already maxed-out schedules. But what if you knew that opening your front door had the power to radically change the world? To make an impact and leave a legacy with everyday invitations?
Jen Schmidt has set out to reframe how we think about hospitality and to equip us to walk a road of welcome in our daily lives. Jen knows that every time we choose open-door living—whether in our homes or by taking hospitality on the road just like Jesus—those we invite in get to experience the lived-out Gospel, our kids grow up in a life-lab of generosity, and we trade insecurity for connection.

What is a Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS)?
Developed in the early 1990's by Dr. Lens Ochs, a Northern California psychologist, this treatment was created as an alternative to other medications for brain-based dysfunction. The low energy neurofeedback system (LENS) consists of a computer-based software connected to an EEG box, or a device used to measure brain waves. This treatment stimulates biochemical changes through the use of faint radiofrequency energy signals to help the brain regulate itself.
How Does it Work?
During a LENS treatment, sensors are attached to the scalp to detect brain activity using an EEG machine. The EEG machine feeds the results it measures into a computer, which interprets them and feeds them back through the sensor wires attached to the skin. Too much or too little activity measured in this way is indicative of a number of mental problems: excessive activity is often the result of difficulties with mood, energy, focus, and mental clarity, while too little activity is caused by trauma and stress that can inhibit cognitive functioning.
Using the information measured from the EEG, faint radiofrequency signals are focused at the brain in order to optimize functioning there. Patients weary of exposing their brains to radiofrequency energy can take comfort knowing the radiofrequency energy used during a LENS treatment is 4,000 times weaker than what their brains are exposed to when they talk on a cell phone. Each of these treatments typically lasts only a few minutes, and patients feel absolutely no pain during or after the procedure.
Can I Benefit from a LENS Treatment?
While we typically utilize LENS treatments for patients who have recently experienced some head trauma or traumatic brain injury, this procedure can be used to help patients address a broad range of psychological problems. These include:
- Addiction/Dependency Disorders
- Anxiety
- Headaches
- Depression
In addition to addressing specific concerns, LENS can benefit almost anyone interested in optimizing their cognitive functioning.
Are you interested in learning more about the ways a LENS treatment can benefit you? Contact Knox Wellness today to schedule a consultation appointment. We look forward to hearing from you!

As I drove into the Maxwell Cemetery, I was doubtful. As birding habitat goes, this small country cemetery in the middle of California's Central Valley didn't look very promising. Grass, a few scattered shrubs and trees, and many weathered upright grave markers. I parked my car on a narrow gravel road in the center of the small cemetery and got out. Perched on a tall headstone about 25 feet away from me was a bright red bird that was about 350 miles north of its extended range—a Vermilion Flycatcher.
This was Day Two of the GGAS weekend field trip for the Migrant Treasure Hunt class, and we were exploring California's Central Valley. The field trip had begun the day before in the northeast corner of the California Delta at Staten Island on a cold, clear morning. The fields around us were packed with Tundra Swans, Snow Geese, Ross's Geese and some Canada Geese. Looking south towards Mt. Diablo we could see a spectacular sight—thousands of birds flying in long chains in the early morning light. After a couple of hours, though, 16 birders plus leader Juan-Carlos Solis were all glad to get back in our cars to warm up.
A short drive took us to Consumnes River Preserve, where big numbers of geese again greeted us, with the majority being Greater White-Fronted Geese. Joining them on the ground was a small number of Sandhill Cranes with lots more overhead. The ponds were full of ducks—good numbers of Northern Shovelers, Gadwalls, Northern Pintails, Green-winged Teal, joined by some Cinnamon Teal, American Wigeons, Canvasbacks, Ring-necked Ducks, Buffleheads, and a single Common Goldeneye and a single Eurasian Wigeon. Consumnes is also great for woodland birds, and even though we did not walk any of the woodland trails, we saw a number of them from the porch of the Visitor's Center where we stopped to eat lunch. Juan-Carlos's count for Consumnes was 66 bird species in 2 hours.
After lunch we drove Riley Road southeast of Sacramento, looking for large flocks of cranes (they were seemingly intent on avoiding us) and raptors (these we found—White-tailed Kites, Red-tailed and Red-shouldered Hawks, Northern Harriers, American Kestrels, and a single Turkey Vulture). Then another wetlands stop—this time at the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area for more ducks and geese. In addition to these, there were a few species of waders, notably Black-bellied Plovers, Dunlin, and Least Sandpipers. Also seen was a large colony of Black-crowned Night Herons. Leaving the reserve, we drove a big loop just west of Davis, looking for Burrowing Owls—the only shutout of the day.
We finished our birding on the first day southeast of Woodland, again looking for raptors. We watched a couple of Great-Blue Herons and 30 Great Egrets in the huge field. One of the Great Egrets caught what Juan-Carlos though was a California Vole and swallowed it right down. But the raptors were the stars of the show. In his eBird entry for this site, Juan-Carlos recorded 2 Turkey Vultures, 1 White-tailed Kite, 2 Northern Harriers, 20 Red-tailed Hawks, 1 Rough-legged Hawk and 8 Ferruginous Hawks. Explaining the outsized number of Ferruginous Hawks in the eBird comments section, Juan-Carlos remarked, "This congregation of buteos and other raptors is the reason I visit this place with my group at this time of the year…. The FEHA were all light morphs and on the ground, walking and taking short flights within the same field only to land on the ground and wait again." Clearly that field was rodent central! As darkness descended, we climbed into our respective cars for the hour-long drive north to Willows, where we would spend the night to facilitate an early start the next day.
The next morning was the day of the (brief) January government shutdown and there was concern among our group as to whether the gates to the Sacramento National Wildlife Reserve (SNWR) would be open. Not only were the gates open, but we were also met in the parking lot by a ranger who welcomed us there despite the government shutdown. Now that's dedication! Our wagon trail of vehicles slowly drove the 3-mile loop. Juan-Carlos was in front using a walky-talky app to call out birds to the trailing cars.
This piece of the trip was a lot of fun for me since I took on two passengers. We were encouraged to car pool within the reserve. Both young women, Skyler Kroschel and Joselyn Perez, were new to birding and their first comment to me was, "Thank God—maybe you can tell us the names of all these birds we're seeing." I thought Juan-Carlos had been doing a great job of pointing out various species whenever we stopped. Then I realized that not only had a good chunk of the trip been birding by car but also that we had been seeing many different species -as well as huge numbers of some individual species. It was easy to see how these two newcomers could quickly be overwhelmed. Juan-Carlos's eBird for just the SNWR listed 71 species. Their enthusiasm was undiminished—and the fact that we saw some unmistakable species—like the Bald Eagle—got them excited.
Occasionally, however, all three of us would notice that the car behind us had stopped. In it were Wendy Beers and Miya Lucas, both excellent birders and bird photographers. We would try to make out what they were seeing (after all, we had just passed that spot!) When I saw Miya's photos from the trip a few days later, I had the answer to my question—not only did she get some superb photos of birds I barely got a look at, but she also got photos of birds I missed completely. Listening to Juan-Carlos on the walkie-talkie (he was three cars in front of us) and watching Miya and Wendy behind us made the three of us feel part of the communal effort to unlock all of the SNWR's avian treasures.
Then it was on to Maxwell to look for the Vermillion Flycatcher. GGAS member Maureen Lahiff, who was along on the weekend trip, reported that this male bird (or one that looks just like him) has been hanging out in this cemetery between the months of December and February for the past three winters. A few days later I came to realize what a local celebrity this bird was; I was talking to a former colleague from work, an accomplished birder who lives in Davis, and I mentioned I had been on the weekend trip in the Central Valley. His first question was "Did you see the Vermillion Flycatcher?" He then told me he has visited the Maxwell Cemetery each December since the bird's first sighting to check up on it.
Our final stop was another iconic wetlands—the Colusa National Wildlife Refuge. The small pond at the reserve's entrance was just packed with birds—many species of ducks, another colony of Black-crowned Night Herons (about 30 of them), a flock of white-faced Ibises (50), and more geese than anyone could count (though Juan-Carlos gave it a go, tallying five species and almost 700 individual birds.)
I took my leave from the group a little bit early since it was going to be a long drive back to the Bay Area in Sunday traffic. On the way home I thought about the weekend "migrant treasure hunt." Some of the "treasure" we saw was reflected in the wide range of species we encountered. Another part of the treasure was in the huge numbers of individual birds we saw—dozens of raptors, for instance, and thousands of geese. When you see birds in numbers like this, you begin to appreciate the scale of migration in the Central Valley. Then I recalled the Vermillion Flycatcher and decided that some migrants should really be called "pioneers."

It was hectic day as I couldn't prepare my breakfast or lunch to carry in my office at Noida sector 62. I
was hungry and I saw a person selling hot cakes, paranthas, Choley-Kulcehy. I thought to eat my breakfast and carry my lunch a couple of Paranthas. That person prepared two for me and I eat. It was nice, tasted good but then hardly I could reach to my office, I started to feel uneasy and uncomfortable. Gases inside my stomach started bubbling and eventually I got to return my home in the afternoon due to stomach pain.
That day I met one of my old friends in a bus who was coming from his coaching class. We engaged in conversation and I told why I was returning home early from the office. He suggested me to take a cup of hot water mixed with honey and lemon juice. As soon as I took it at my home, to my pleasant surprise the stomach pain was gone. Then I tried to find out how he knew it. So, in the evening I called him and asked him how he knew it, then he said me that he learned it from his grandmother who used to advise him to take it every time he has stomach-pain.
When I checked in Google, I found some of the best health benefits of in-taking honey with lemon juice in boiled, warm water in a glass.
Common benefits of lemon and honey
When you have stomach upset or stomach pain, take one tablespoon of honey mixed with lemon juice with one-half cup of hot water and it will cure your stomach pain. Even when you have mild sinus congestion as well as sore throat, this mixture will help you to cure them.
So, my experience has been pathetic and I promised not to eat at roadside stand with all the dusts around caused by moving cars and vehicles that get mixed with foods served by people in roadside stands which are truly unhealthy. Finally, I got relief after drinking a glass of warm water mixed with lemon juice and honey.

Chapter 564: "An Auction for the Filthy Rich (3)"
"The elixirs this time are different from those before." Jun Wu Xie said calmly, throwing a whole bucket of cold water on Qiao Chu.
That time at the gates of the Zephyr Academy had left her with no other choice or she would not have taken out those elixirs that could develop and improve veins and arteries.
"But, they would still fetch a hefty price wouldn't they? Seven bottles should still at least fetch us a hundred thousand taels at least, wouldn't it?" Qiao Chu asked, scratching his head, feeling a little less sure.
Jun Wu Xie shot him a glance. "Who told you that I am selling them by the bottle?"
"Huh?" Qiao Chu was even more confused.
Hua Yao shook his head helplessly. He could not bear to see Qiao Chu display his stupidity a moment longer.
"Little Xie gave me seven bottles of elixirs this time and there are five elixirs in each bottle. I have already discussed it with He Chang Le and he has agreed that the elixirs in every bottle would be individually auctioned, with a single pill each time."
Qiao Chu nodded in confusion and after pondering on it for a long while, he only managed to ask one question.
"Will we earn a lot of money then?"
"….." Hua Yao shot Qiao Chu a look of utter contempt, and decided not to waste his breath on the intellectually lacking dumbo.
Qiao Chu shrank back mortified as he rubbed his nose, suddenly feeling like he needed a drink of water.
More and more people arrived at the auction house till finally, they could not even shut the doors as people continued to try to squeeze themselves in.
This unprecedented situation was never seen before and it greatly surprised Jun Wu Xie who sat in the private room on the second level.
She did not know that elixirs was in such high demand. Although the response had been very overwhelming before the gates of the Zephyr Academy before, but those elixirs she had taken out then had Heaven defying effects that was unheard of in the world. The elixirs she had given to Hua Yao this time, though were rather good as well, but their effects could not compare in the least to those they sold before.
He Chang Le had only spread the word to the people that the Chan Lin Auction House would have elixirs in their lineup and had not mentioned a word on their effects and it had already incited such an overwhelming response.
Jun Wu Xie decided that she would have to give her elixirs a little bit more consideration.
All along, she had only intended for her elixirs to be given to the people of the Lin Palace and the Rui Lin Army and other than that, she did not spend much more time into her elixirs.
She was not able to return to the Lin Palace at the moment and her dwindling finances was becoming a huge problem to her.
She did not in the least expect that Qiao Chu and the others, who had been lived half their lives in abject poverty, to suddenly gain riches and prosperity.
So, if elixirs were really so hugely popular, would this mean that she would be able to profit from it for their expenses?
Jun Wu Xie decided to observe a little bit more before she made her conclusion.
They had eagerly waited for the auction to commence and the whole place was fully packed. Many of the people did not have seats and they were lined up against the walls at the side and back…..
The sight before him made He Chang Le smile endlessly, unable to close his mouth in joy.
Although the Chan Lin Auction House had always enjoyed a rather good reputation and strong support, they had never put up elixirs in their auctions before as there were no prominent elixir producing clans in their vicinity. The once small tiny town had grown prosperous all due to the Zephyr Academy and a big part of the town visitors were the disciples from the Zephyr Academy itself.
Just like today, looking through the crowd packed within the auction house, many of them were youths dressed in the uniforms of the Zephyr Academy. They had seemingly gathered here in groups, having arrived early to get themselves the best seats. And from the eager expressions on their faces, one could see the high anticipation they held for today's auction.
He Chang Le was very excited. Even he had not expected that a bunch of elixirs would draw so many people to the Chan Lin Auction House.
This was the biggest crowd he had ever seen in the history of the Chan Lin Auction House!
"Boss, can we begin?" The auctioneer asked one final time for He Chang Le's opinion, as he straightened out his clothes and made sure everything was in order.

The budget was always tight at the City Zoo, but there was always one perk to look forward to. Every December, the zoo administration doled out a small sum to each department of the zoo, to be spent however that department saw fit. It wasn't a huge amount, but it was enough to pick up whatever odds-and-ends the keepers felt that their section needed.
When the hoofstock department got their year-end reward, the head keeper summoned the newest member of his staff to his office in the giraffe barn. "I want you to take the money and go down to the thrift store on Elm Street. Buy us some duct tape, some zip ties, two new scrub brushes, and some coffee filters." At that moment, a fat fly - one of the hundreds that always filled the barn, attracted to the giraffes' manure - landed at the edge of the head keepers desk. With lightning speed, the head keeper smashed it into jelly with a tattered old flyswatter.
"Oh, will you look at that," muttered the head keeper, looking at the stained, tattered swatter, coated with years' worth of fly guts. "You better get a new flyswatter while you're out, too."
At the end of the day, the head keeper was at his desk, looking through some reports, when the new keeper entered. He held out a mug of coffee to his boss, who took it eagerly. They chatted briefly about the ins and outs of the day, what animals were doing what and so on. Finally, the keeper pulled a receipt from his pocket and put it on the desk.
"Well, I got the zip ties and the duct tape, and I got the scrub brushes and the flyswatter, but I couldn't find any coffee filters. Sorry about that."
"Oh? How'd you filter this coffee, then?" the head keeper asked, taking a sip. "I thought we ran out of filters a few days ago."
"Oh, easy. I just used the flyswatter."
"You... what?"
"Oh, don't worry boss. I know what you're worried about and no, I didn't get your new flyswatter dirty by mixing coffee with it. I just used the old one instead."

More than two full days after mudslides ravaged this coastal town, the search for the missing became an increasingly desperate exercise Thursday, with growing doubts about whether anyone would be found alive. (Jan. 11) AP
MONTECITO, Calif. — Rescue workers aided by heavy equipment began the long, slow slog on Friday of clearing a massive mudslide from this coastal town as they faced the breadth of the death and destruction.
Authorities say 18 people are confirmed dead and more than 40 are still missing after the mudslide early Tuesday that swept down the valley and across a major highway. The hillsides, bereft of trees and vegetation after last summer's Thomas Fire, could not contain the mud that formed after days of heavy rain.
Most of the residents of Montecito have evacuated. A huge police presence keeps out both residents and looters. Authorities say they need to limit people in the area so the backhoes and front-end loaders can continue digging out streets. Many streets near the downtown area remain impassible for vehicles with pools of liquid mud up to two feet deep. The highway, U.S. Highway 101, remains closed indefinitely.
Montecito residents begin to decide whether to evacuate or stay in place with possibility of losing all power, water and gas. Those who chose to stay during the storm must now face closed roads in their effort to continue normal life. (Jan. 12) AP
More: 30 square miles. 17 dead. More than 400 homes damaged. Tragic tale of California mudslides
Evacuee Hannah Troy has spent three days at the Red Cross shelter in nearby Santa Barbara. At least two of her family cars were destroyed and she's not sure how her cottage fared. Still, surrounded by her dogs and donated clothing and food, Troy said she's in no hurry to get back. Best to give workers a chance to clear the roads up, she said.
"I think I'd like to stay out of their way," she said. Then she added, with a laugh, "that's very unlike me."
For others, the grim reality was just beginning as workmen dug through the debris.
"At this moment, we are still looking for live victims," Santa Barbara Fire Capt. Gary Pitney said. But, he said, "The likelihood is increasing that we'll be finding bodies, not survivors. You have to start accepting the reality of that."
Of the 18 confirmed victims, the oldest was Jim Mitchell, who had celebrated his 89th birthday the day before the mudslide. He died with his wife of more than 50 years, Alice.
The youngest, 3-year-old Kailly Benitez, was one of four children killed.
The other children killed were 6-year-old Peerawat Sutthithepn, 10-year-old Jonathan Benitez and 12-year-old Sawyer Corey. None of the adult dead shared their last names.
All of the dead were killed by "multiple traumatic injuries due to flash flood with mudslides," authorities said.
Sheriff Bill Brown cautioned Thursday that many or most of those unaccounted for may simply have been unreachable to the family and friends who reported them missing.
"We were able to find people," Anderson said, but added that the number could continue to fluctuate greatly. She said some missing-person reports are quickly cleared but others take time to resolve.
The damage above Montecito isn't absolute. Some streets suffered no damage. Other streets became rivers as the mud filled homes, blasted cars from garages, tore down trees and tumbled boulders like Legos.
Marveling at the scale of destruction, several firefighters wondered aloud how some areas would ever get back to normal because there's just so much mud covering the ground, never mind the damage to homes and other buildings.
The searches themselves are slow, largely because the mud is so hard to walk through and hides myriad dangers. In one upscale neighborhood, firefighters warned each other of below-ground pools, which have turned into watery traps for the unwary.
A few streets away, Abbe and Gary Shaw counted their blessings. Their home of more than 30 years was untouched by the torrents of mud and water. Like many, the couple described hearing explosions during the slide as gas lines ruptured and exploded.
Now, three days in to a mandatory evacuation order they decided to ignore, the Shaws said they're determined to ride out what could be a multi-week closure. They've got power back, limited cell phone service and food for their six dogs and 20 chickens. While they count Oprah and Ellen as neighbors, they lamented the losses suffered by those who can ill afford it.
Friday morning, the couple walked down to a security checkpoint near their home to get an update from the California Highway Patrol officer stationed there. They came away shaken after seeing pictures of the flooded Highway 101 and the devastation to downtown Montecito, where they had a veterinary clinic for many years.
"If I'd have known how bad it was, we might have been scared," Abbe Shaw said. "But they're talking two weeks of closure. What would we have done with the animals?"
Like several other area residents, Gary Shaw said he was frustrated government officials failed to quickly stabilize the hillside following the Thomas Fire. The mudslides began raindrops on top of hillsides in the Los Padres National Forest and then gained momentum as they tore downhill through the neighborhoods, picking up ash, dirt and debris along the way.
"We'll just be here," Abbe Shaw said as she walked back to their house. "We've got all those chickens, which means we've got eggs, and they're perfect."
Interjected her husband with a smile: "And if it gets bad, we've got all those chickens."

Born in rural NSW, Australia, I have a love of country, a passion for colour and a determination to continually push myself.
Best known for my vibrantly coloured embroidered textiles, I cover substrates with thousands upon thousands of machine-made stitches. The consequence of this density of stitch is unique and results in unpredictable fabric manipulation. Using lustrous polyester and rayon threads enables me to utilise light to great effect.
My palette is usually bold and focuses on high colour and value contrast.
I use simple techniques in my quasi representational and abstract designs, ultimately transforming soft substrates into compressed, rigid textiles rippling with dimensionality.
Using the machine needle as a sketching, drawing and colouring tool, I exploit the allure of thread, stitch and cloth to produce uniquely tactile artworks. My designs come to life under the machine. I have an algorithm or set of processes, which along with a dedicated work/life routine, enables me to stitch daily. It's a restorative process; the more I do, the more I want to do.
I exhibit widely throughout Australia and overseas and have artworks held in numerous private collections. My work has featured in a number of Australian magazines and was published in Andra F. Stanton's book, Dimensional Cloth.
Represented by a commercial gallery in Sydney, I now work towards exhibiting cohesive bodies of work capturing my self-expression in stitch.

With many ads vying for your attention on different digital channels, it is very tough to get more view and click rates. Magic brick propworth is a feature of Magicbricks which they have been pushing recently where you can estimate a property's price to ensure you can make an informed decision. The feature itself might not be that novel but yes definitely very useful. However, here I am writing on its Facebook Ad that caught my attention.
They intelligently increased the curiosity level of the ad by using Amitabh Bachchan (one of the most celebrated film actor of HIndi film industry) 's famed home Jalsa in the content. I liked it and would assume this would have definitely attracted good eyeballs (including mine) and probably more click rates for them. What's your take?

Clinical Staff
Dr. Robert Gardner, MD
Medical Director
I appreciate being able to work with the professional, dedicated staff of Hospice Services of Lake County. I was privileged to attend the first US training for Hospice Medical Directors back in the 1970's, and I appreciated their concepts of care and comfort. I have worked in medical offices and clinics in California since 1975 and know the limitations on time and resources for physicians. Hospice is an agency that can coordinate end of life care for our patients and help provide medical, social, and spiritual help along with a patient's physician.
I have been fortunate enough to participate in local hospice services for the past three years and in that time I have never heard a doctor or patient say "I wish I would have called hospice later." The sooner the person is referred, the better, in order to reduce pain, get needed equipment into the home, and to address the varied social and spiritual needs that may be requested. So please refer that patient earlier rather than later. All candidates are encouraged to check out hospice services for yourself or your loved ones and until that time comes, please live your life to the fullest.

Elsa (lol)
Date of BirthEdit
Scottish, Caucasian
Blood TypeEdit
No scars or Tattoos
Relationship StatusEdit
Aiesla will always help anyone she considers a friend and is only 100% comfortable when outside in nature. She is generally calm, collected, and sarcastic. Because she is connected to nature her moods can change the weather around her so she has taught herself to restrain from showing and even truly feeling her emotions. Basically she has gotten rid of all emotions and what she shows is merely a facade. Aiesla believes herself to be in tune with peoples "auras" and will immediately come up with an opinion about you whithin the first few minutes of meeting you. Being the deciding factor if she'll willingly associate with you post meeting. Though if she doesn't like you she will not let you know but will be kind instead of harsh and mean. When around people she doesn't fancy her first instinct is to get near something/someone she's familiar with and stay with them until she doesn't feel the need to be there anymore. Aiesla is an insomniac and on restless nights she will go out for a little walk or tend to a wee garden.
Very polite, well mannered, and kind no matter what situation. She believes in proper etiquette and carries herself likewise with poise and good posture. Quiet and collected.
Connected directly to any and all nature. She is able to communicate, manipulate, influence, and control all nature including the surrounding wildlife. This also includes the power to control, tap into, bend, or become elements of nature such as water, ice, metal, air, weather, etc. Because she is basically one with nature she is able to immediately get a sense for her surrounding and understands what she is equipped with. Her moods can also directly affect the weather. (happy is sunny, angry is stormy, sad is overcast, etc.)
Anyone from the school.
Alanze Grande
Background InformationEdit
Aiesla grew up in Paisley, Scotland with her Father and little brother. Because she lost her mother shortly after birth Aiesla was very attached to her father. He owned and ran a small store that consisted of strictly homemade/grown stuff like soaps, candles, hair and body care items, fruits, vegetables, flowers, etc. Aiesla and her little brother Kinsley worked with their father at the store and also helped make and grow all the products. Aiesla focusing on the plants, veggies, and fruits.
She first became aware of her abilities when she was roughly five years old and throwing tantrums. It was always stormy outside when she was upset and she found it to be odd. Being as curious as she is she tried forcing herself to be happy and noticed it would get clearer and sunny. Through the years she has come across many new things she could do and slowly but gradually mastered them.
A week after Aiesla turned 16 her father decided she would stay with her aunt in London because he couldn't afford to keep her there and continue sending her to school. Aiesla's aunt wasn't very fond of her so she sent her to a prestigeous boarding school in Germany. After 2 years in Germany her father was diagnosed with lung cancer from smoking for years and passed away. Kinsley, who was 15 at the time, went to live with their grandma. Because the boarding school didn't allow communication outside of the school she didn't become aware he had died until she went back home to her aunt.
Shortly after Aiesla took the initiative and applied to a Uni known as the Institution Of Limitless Potential. Following her acceptance she packed and left immediately. Her first year there was a bit shaky but she quickly stabled herself with help from her roomate, Alanze. The two became fast friends, partially helped by the fact that they are near polar opposites and were both a bit skeptical about the Institution. Alanze for more legitimate reasons than Aiesla.

Anyway, here I am today, another Power Poppy digital image all coloured up and ready to share:
This image is called spring meadow bouquet.
Oh, Pauline, this is gorgeous, and your coloring is exquisite! This is definitely a favorite image, and I know how you've used lots of pencils with this one. But, oh was it worth it! It's stunning, and I love this fancy die. I have it now myself and have been wanting to use it -- and I love how it works with this image! WOW, it's fabulous! Hugs, sweet friend!
Oh, good heavens! You do such an amazing job with your pencils, Pauline. What a beautiful work of art, and the way you've framed it with the pretty die cut card base is stunning! A breath of fresh air! I still have so many Power Poppy digis to color. I really got behind. I like that you left this sentiment-free, too. I've been doing that more and more so a card can be used for a number of occasions. The PP digis are great for that. So gorgeous and can be printed large to fill the card. I'm so happy to see your splendiferous work of wonder today!
Hi Pauline,
Absolutely stunning. Love it. Must try to find the Power Poppy digis.
Sooooo excited - the swallows have arrived, they have travelled such a long way to get here just wish I could give them some titbits to say welcome.
Much love,
Shirley T. xxxx
Pauline, what an amazing card. I love the die cut base and of course no one can colour like you. Your colour selection and colouring technique is top notch! Some lucky person will cherish this card forever. This is one of my favourite Power Poppy digis. The image is sized just right. Enjoy your weekend and thanks for sharing your gorgeous creation. Hugs
Wow! I feel like I can reach out and touch each petal. Your work is always stunning. Hugs!
Stunning card love it!!!

(Read More NYC Ballet Reviews).
Belles-Lettres (2014): Music by César Franck, Choreography by Justin Peck, Costumes by Mary Katrantzou, Costumes supervised by Marc Happel, Lighting by Mark Stanley, Conductor: Daniel Capps, Piano: Elaine Chelton, Performed by Lauren Lovette, Jared Angle, Ashley Laracey, Adrian Danchig-Waring, Brittany Pollack, Taylor Stanley, Rebecca Krohn, Tyler Angle, Anthony Huxley.
It was wonderful to see and listen to Justin Pecks Belles-Lettres again, performed tonight by an exceptional ensemble of four couples and solo dancer, Anthony Huxley. To César Francks piano solo work, masterfully played by Elaine Chelton, and with dancers in Mary Katrantzous costumes, almost see-through, with lace and doily patterns, like authentic old letters, the mind is transported toward mystery and mayhem. Mark Stanleys pinkish-black backdrop centers the elegance within. The Laracey-Danchig-Waring duo and the Pollack-Stanley duo should be seen more often in these partnerings. Anthony Huxley added frills as the lone solo, in sophisticated, mature fashion. Some imagery includes dancers spinning en pointe, while others stand stage rear, backs to the audience. I found this ballet evocative of Robbins In the Night, with its shimmery, romantic sweep. Daniel Capps conducted with panache.
Mothership (Premiere May 4, 2016): Music by Mason Bates, Choreography by Nicolas Blanc, Costumes by Marc Happel, Lighting by Mark Stanley, Conductor: Clotilde Otranto, Performed by Jacqueline Bologna, Alston MacGill, Clara Frances, Claire Von Enck, Silas Farley, Alec Knight, Christopher Grant, Sebastian Villarini-Velez.
This premiere work for City Ballet, by Nicolas Blanc, is designed for a Corps ensemble of eight, danced to Mason Bates score of the same name. The piece is created for orchestra and electronica, with performers in Marc Happels leotards, long-sleeved burgundy for women and sleeveless navy for men. Theres much spinning, sliding, twisting, turning, all to the electronically infused musicality, expertly conducted by Clotilde Otranto. I look forward to seeing this again, as the eleven-minute piece flew by. In the ensemble, Silas Farley drew my eye, with his reliable seriousness of purpose.
American Rhapsody (Premiere May 4, 2016): Music by George Gershwin, Choreography by Christopher Wheeldon, Scenic Design by Leslie Sardinias, Scenery supervised by Marc Stanley, Costumes by Janie Taylor, Lighting by Mark Stanley, Conductor: Andrews Sill, Piano: Cameron Grant, Performed by Tiler Peck, Robert Fairchild, Unity Phelan, Amar Ramasar, and the Company.
There is no music quite like George Gershwins Rhapsody in Blue, and the symphonic version, used in Wheeldons new ballet, American Rhapsody, seen tonight in one of its earliest performances, is incomparably magnetic. Not only does City Ballet Orchestra expand this Gershwin masterpiece, but we are also dazzled by Leslie Sardinias spellbinding set in light and deep shades of blue, peach, and navy, with images of a full orange moon against the nighttime sky. Janie Taylors costumes are also in burnt orange, blue, and teal. Tiler Peck dances with her offstage partner, Robert Fairchild, who recently starred in Wheeldons An American in Paris on Broadway. He and Ms. Peck have a longstanding relationship with Mr. Wheeldon in additional choreographies, such as the 2013 A Place for Us.
Tonight, this duo did not disappoint, in the effervescent musicality and energy of their Pas de Deux. In fact, this segment of Wheeldons new ballet is worthy of Galas and special events. The other lead couple, Amar Ramasar and Unity Phelan, is in the exact same costumes as Ms. Peck and Mr. Fairchild, featured in teal, only the Ramasar-Phelan duo is featured in blood orange. The choreography, as well, overlaps that of the other lead duo. A sizeable Corps ensemble, eight men and eight women, is infused with the rhythms and jazz of this remarkable brassy, New York musicality. Each instrumental phrase is expanded in lifts, spins, and geometric shapes. I look forward to revisiting American Rhapsody soon.
Concerto DSCH (2008): Music by Dmitri Shostakovich, Choreography by Alexei Ratmansky, Costumes by Holly Hynes, Lighting by Mark Stanley, Conductor: Andrews Sill, Piano: Susan Walters, Performed by Sara Mearns, Brittany Pollack, Tyler Angle, Gonzalo Garcia, Anthony Huxley, and the Company.
I remain struck by Holly Hynes orange-red, green-orange costumes, matching colors for each duo, with a bit of blue-grey, in Alexei Ratmanskys Concerto DSCH,. scored to Shostakovichs riveting score, his Second Piano Concerto. Susan Walters played the elegant Andante second movement (plus the other two, both Allegro), with its soulful, slow motion pas de deux. Ratmanskys work is angular with dancers positioned with bent elbows, in the Allegros, leaping about each other with powerful ensemble athletics and vigorous surprises. Yet, the style remains balletic, never modern.
There are brisk, dynamic leaps, with tight timing, and full body springs that defy gravity. Concerto DSCH is replete with eloquence of mood, momentum, direction, and space. Now they fall on the stage, now they huddle, now they toss themselves about with abandon. Theres a taut design to this visual integration, and we cannot stop gazing at the gestalt. Moods shift, with flirtation, humor, the unexpected, and the audacious. Each lead danced to maximum potential, and, in the seven Corps duos, I was drawn to Gretchen Smith and Andrew Scordato.

Let's talk about Buddah....
Posted by Max | Posted on 2/12/2018 04:51:00 PM
So...what do you want to know about Buddah Pest? If you could ask him anything, what would you ask? And keep in mind, your question might make it into a book, and this book might be read by kids, so use some judgment, ok.
|Even I have to admit he's a handsome boy
Just leave any questions or things you like to know about Buddah or hear about Buddah in the comments.
This is something we'll probably start working on in 2-3 weeks, and it might take a while. We have 2 books coming soon, the next Wick After Dark Book, titled The Blessings of Saint Wick, and then a novella in The Wick Chronicles Series, tentatively titled The When of Wick.
Here's the good news about people waiting for the next Chronicles book: it *should* be out less than 3 weeks after The Blessings of Saint Wick. They've both been written, and are in the production phases, but because of spoilers, The When of Wick has to come out after. And don't worry if you skipped the After Dark books--you should be able to hop right back in.
But for now...let's write a book about Buddah! It'll be fun!

Love is all around…
For those who don't know the Valentine's Day story, here is a short version!
When Roman emperor Claudius II Gothicus (268-270 AD) decreed that his soldiers should remain celibate, it was Saint Valentine who got the soldiers married in secret. The emperor ordered his execution. It is said that just before he was to be executed he wrote a letter to his beloved signed 'From your Valentine'; an expression that still remains in use today.

Ambassador began as Ambassador College in Pasadena, California and opened a second campus in 1960 in Hertsfordshire, United Kingdom. Four years later, a third campus began operations in Big Sandy, Texas. When there were more graduates than employment opportunities within the Worldwide Church of God, the campuses consolidated in Pasadena, only to reopen the Big Sandy campus to meet increasing enrollment demands shortly after.
Almost ten years later, the Pasadena and Big Sandy campuses consolidated operations again in Texas. In 1994 the college became Ambassador University and was granted full accredited status from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

Freight rates for Very Large Crude Carriers in the East of Suez have ebbed to this year's low. But the situation is not as bad as it could have been, as associate editor Wanda Wang explains in this video. More ton mile demand is anticipated as Asian refiners look farther afield to quench their thirst for crude oil. Is this enough to keep the freight market afloat?

Asian VLCC market down, but not out
By Wanda Wang, Associate Editor, Shipping
Welcome to the Snapshot – our series which examines the forces shaping and driving global commodities markets today.
Freight for Very Large Crude Carriers in the East of Suez has ebbed to the this year's low. And, yet, this is apparently not as bad as it could have been, all thanks to a shift in oil flows.
The key Persian Gulf to Japan freight has fallen 50% from the start of 2017. Currently this rate is in the low Worldscale 50s, where time charter equivalent earnings range at $18,000 per day, compared with approximately $53,000/day at the beginning of the year.
The VLCC market is dominated by the Persian Gulf and has been soft for the last month because of the following three key factors: long tonnage, oil production cuts, and refinery turnaround season.
First, the tonnage situation – the VLCC fleet grew from 684 ships at the end of 2016 to 700 vessels at present. The addition of new vessels has increased competition in the market, which remarkably saw discounts given by vessels lacking approvals widen to almost 15 worldscale points at one point. Another 29 or so newbuildings are due for the year, and while the pace of entry has slowed, there have been no scrappings yet and only three are projected for this year.
Second, the OPEC production cut. The oil producers' cartel pledged in November to cut 1.2 million b/d from October levels over January to June. While this has created an oversupply of VLCC tonnage in the Persian Gulf region, there is hope this will have a positive twist for vessel owners after turnaround season, which is the third bearish factor, typically over March and April.
In the first half of this year, 2.9 million barrels per day is expected to be shut for maintenance, out of a total refining capacity of around 32 million b/d in Asia.
So what's going to help the market?
More ton mile demand is anticipated as Asian refiners will have to look farther afield to fuel their appetite for crude. US crude export levels have hit record levels in January and February. In February, China imported 65,000 b/d, and Japan a record 62,000 b/d.
The firmer Dubai market encouraged Asian refineries to look for alternative barrels -- Russian Urals, North Sea Forties and Angola's sweet but heavy crude grades.
Just taking a sign from the independent refiners in China, from January to February, they've seen a drastic increase in imports from West Africa and South America.
The bulk of West African crude exports loading in February and March are headed to Asia. The trend has been most pronounced in Angola, with Platts data showing three-quarters of the March-loading program scheduled for Asian destinations, up from the 62% in March 2016.
With healthy cracking margins in Asia, the region is likely to operate at maximum run rates in the near future.
Until next time on the Snapshot -- we'll be keeping an eye on the markets.

The band "CROSSROADS" was founded in 2001 when 3 well-known musicians from Luxembourg came up with a new project – a blues band "without drums". This new band concept would allow them to play in every room equipped with a plug. Of course the fact that drummers are ALWAYS late, are ALWAYS playing too loud and ALWAYS get insanely drunk after (and mostly also before) the gig, also played in role in the development of this new concept. After many concerts as a trio and despite all the previous very legitimate reasons for not having a drummer, the band began to debate on what their music would sound like with drums. Upon trying, they all had to agree that the experience was rather positive (no drummer that helped out during that time ever got drunk) and Crossroads decided that it was time to let go of their previous concept and consider having a permanent drummer. This eventually happened at the end of 2010.
The first CD "LET THE GUITARS DO THE TALKING" was recorded as a life performance in the band's rehearsal room in 2002.
Early 2012, the Band released it's second CD "SECOND CHANCE" – a life studio recording in 2011.
In October 2011, the 2 concerts at the club l'Inouï in Redange for the 10th anniversary of the Band were recorded and released as "CROSSROADS & FRIENDS LIVE AT L'INOUÏ" in October 2012
In September 2016, the 15th anniversary concert was recorded with 7 cameras and 24 audio tracks and released as "LIVE AND ACOUSTIC" DVD and BLU-RAY in October 2017, followed by a Promo Tour in 2018 with the great Irina HOLZINGER on vocals.
CROSSROADS plays Blues oriented music consisting of self-written and self-composed songs in addition to adaptations of known and not so known standards of Blues music. Since the year 2015 the band has added a total "unplugged" program.

I have never been that fond of them -
(the flower that is)
because they were so predictable
scentless - in that identical half-closed state.
Till I met some wild roses
those tangly,
garden gypsies
I am in love.
I understand now why they are so dear, and so often the subject of poems and art - along with all their other numerous uses.
So it was with great joy that Alice and I accepted the job of picking the roses for NYE's dinner:
We put a big bunch on the table as decoration and used the rest to garnish homemade watermelon + rosewater summer drinks:
I am now wanting to make homemade rosewater and rose petal sorbet - A few weeks back when I was ailing I mentioned how a friend lent me some books one of which was "Rose Recipes from Olden Times" - what an absolute gem it is! Recipes for potpourris and pomanders, perfumes, sweet waters and edible treats.

PHOTOGRAPHY: Jesper McIlroy
– 1 cup of raw organic almonds
– 4 cups of filtered water
– 1/2 teaspoon of powdered vanilla beans
– 1/4 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt
– 5 organic pitted medjool dates
– 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
* Nut mylk bag ( if you can't find one in your local health food store you can use a new stocking. Just like they do for Asian style tea )
* Large bowl
1. Soak almonds over night in filtered water for no longer than 12 hours
2. Strain soaked almonds
3. Place strained almonds, filtered water, cinnamon, medjool dates, pink Himalayan salt, vanilla beans into a blender for 1-2 minutes on high speed.
4. Take your bowl and nut mylk bag. Open your nut mylk bag and pour blended ingredients into the bag slowly. Gently push liquid through the bag into the bowl. All that should remain in the bag is the pulp of the almonds and in your bowl should be your delicious almond mylk.
5. Pour your mylk into a large glass jar or storage container with a lid and store in your fridge for up to 4-5 days.
*You can keep the almond pulp to make cookies or other recipes.
* Clean your nut mylk bag in running water and store in the freezer in a zip lock back. This will kill all bacteria.
Enjoy your mylk as a vegan alternative to dairy or soy milk on your cereal, in your coffee, baking or as a yummy drink all on its own.

Miniature sensors often are tucked away in hard-to-reach spaces. Now, a novel array of sensors is poised to change the costly and resource-intensive process of fighting corrosion in harsh environment applications. These sensor arrays can monitor not only the appearance and persistence of corrosion, but also its behavior under different atmospheric conditions, such as humidity, temperature, salinity, wind direction, and rainfall.
Designed by researchers at Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), the sensors indicate where, when, and why corrosion occurs. They also convert this information to a real-time management tool that can reduce the costs of maintenance and inspection and improve the safety and integrity of structures.
While some of the CSIRO sensor arrays have already been sold commercially, most of the research is still regarded as in the trial stage, with plans to test the sensors under extreme desert conditions in the Middle East and also inside aircraft fuselages. CSIRO researcher Tim Muster says the sensors have been specifically designed to withstand the conditions they need to monitor. The sensors continually monitor the environment in which they have been placed and detect the early onset of corrosion or the environmental conditions contributing to it.
Researchers are now working on automating this decision-making process to guide maintenance schedules and decrease downtime and the frequency of inspections. Also, as the sensors arm themselves with more and more data, models of atmospheric corrosion for each specific situation or environment can be developed and continuously adjusted. This should help the industry design materials that are best suited to the environments in which they will be used.
In addition to exploring new frontiers for the sensors, the researchers see opportunities to further develop the sensors themselves in terms of more advanced miniaturization and wireless operation. One long-term goal is to incorporate their sensor technology into paints and coatings, construction materials such as reinforced concrete, and other composites. Muster theorizes that someday there will be sensors that can initiate self-repair once corrosion is detected.

Earlier today, I was going to write about either how WWE needs to bring back the cruiserweight division or how sick I am of the guest host concept, but I saw something for the second time that really got under my skin.
I was able to get WWE – TLC earlier than others which I'm very proud of. As I was watching it today, I saw something that really disgusted me, not only as a fan but as someone who wants to one day become a pro wrestler. During the opening match, Christian had his legs pulled out from underneath him while holding a ladder. As he came down, the ladder smashed into his face, causing a cut to form above his right eye. Instead of continuing as he has before in other brutal ladder matches, the match was put on hold for about a minute so that a doctor and the referee in charge could check on Christian's cut. Apparently I'm not alone as the fans began booing when they and Shelton Benjamin had to wait for the OK from the doctor.
This, for lack of a better term, pissed me off. It pissed me off because this isn't the first time I saw this in 2009, (the first time I saw it was during the falls count anywhere ironman match between Orton and Cena at Bragging Rights.) but it honestly makes the wrestlers look like wimps. Plain and simple.
I don't know if it has to do with the PG rating or something within the company, but I think it takes away the aura of the WWE superstars. A decade ago, we had hardcore matches almost every night, some brutal ones. Now, I wrestler can't get a cut on the top of his head without the match being put on hold. Even a year ago, I don't remember anybody checking on Jeff Hardy or Chavo Guerrero when Jeff jumped off the ladder onto Chavo during his match with Edge at the Rumble. I don't remember anybody checking on Orton when he got a pretty bad cut on his head last February in his match against Shane McMahon. This is a new policy that I believe destroys great matches.
I hope this is just a temporary phase for WWE. I really do. I personally feel it takes away from the wrestlers, the company, and almost makes it seem as if the WWE Universe is nothing but children. We don't need our eyes covered.
