Here are the ten latest hints added to the Vault:
Make your own nut butters for a fraction of shop prices
I save a fortune on buying nut butters by making my own. Almond butter, cashew butter and good quality peanut butter can be fairly expensive to buy so instead I buy roasted almonds for about $4 at a bulk supplier (Bin Inn if you're in NZ) and blend it in my Nutribullet with the addition of a smidgeon of olive oil. This gives me twice the quantity of a shop-bought jar which would cost at least $12! You can also add a little honey or chia seeds to add variety. I use the same method to make cashew butter. I simply buy 200g of cashews for $4.80 from an Indian grocer, roast them in the oven and blend them with the addition of a little olive oil to start the process. At around $15 a jar to buy at health food stores, this is a terrific saving!
Berry nice savings to be had on blueberries!
I have found the answer to enjoying the health benefits of blueberries is in the freezer aisle! Blueberries are so good for you, but very expensive if you buy the punnets of fresh fruit. The regular price of fresh ones works out at well over $30 per kilo and while they look nice on a fruit platter, they don't have a lot of flavour. Instead, I now buy frozen blueberries at around $4 or $5 per 500g pack - less than a third the price! Simply throw a cupful in the microwave with a teaspoon of sugar and zap for a minute or two. Much tastier and are delicious with ice cream, natural yoghurt or just on their own!
Dairy-free oat milk for 26c per litre
I make dairy-free milk for my allergic daughter for just 26c per litre! I make oat milk at home, and it tastes just like the shop-bought version that we used to buy on special for $2 per litre. I also use it in desserts, baking and cereal, even though I'm not dairy-free. It's even cheaper than prepared powdered cow's milk, which I recently priced at 80c per litre!
Here is the recipe (costed out using Coles home brand ingredients) -
1 cup rolled oats 120g (22c)
4 cups water
1 tsp brown sugar (2c) - optional
1 tsp sunflower oil (2c)
Blend all the ingredients in a blender for one minute
Strain through a muslin or a nut milk bag (I use old muslin baby swaddles).
Store in the fridge for up to five days.
My husband and I eat other dairy products and my daughter still has two cups of calcium-fortified, shop-bought, non-dairy milk per day as a drink, but we now use at least three litres less of shop-bought milk per week, working out to a saving of over $300 per year!
Cheap MP3 download helped me quit nail biting for good!
I found the answer to quitting my lifelong nail biting habit in a $15 app! Over the years I had tried everything from bitter aloes to spending a fortune paying for regular manicures, thinking if I paid someone I would be too embarrassed to turn up with bitten nails. I do not like acrylic nails at all, so that was not an option for me. Now in my 50's, I shudder to think how much money I have spent on manicures over the years! The only thing that worked for me and worked immediately was hypnotherapy - but not the 'go-see-a-hypnotherapist-at-$300-an-hour-for-five-to-ten-sessions', no way! I simply purchased a downloadable MP3 for $15 USD. I listened to it each night as I went to sleep. Normally it takes about 21 days to change a habit, but I found that it worked for me completely after five days. I have no desire to bite my nails at all. I continue to listen to it from time to time as a "top-up" to maintain the cessation of nail biting. I bought my download online from www.stevegjones.com He has MP3 hypnosis programs for everything from weight loss to writer's block. They vary in price and often he has flash sales from as little as $1 per MP3 program. I am not affiliated with his company at all, but can highly recommend!
A 'glovely' way to stop nail biting
If you're a nail biter and want to stop, get your gloves on and leave them on. Don't knock it until you've tried it! It's impossible to get past a fleecy woollen layer, no matter how hard you try. If you can leave them on long enough, (maybe get the kind with fingertips so you can still use your phone!) the habit is broken and before long, your nails will be strong and long (er). Give it a go!
Lower price promise saved on a new cistern
I saved an easy $40 recently on a new cistern by price shopping between competitors! I first checked the prices at both Bunnings and Mitre 10 and found the latter to be the dearer option. Seeing as they promise to better the lower price on the same item, I showed them the proof of the cheaper Bunnings price. They did indeed hold true to their promise and charged me another 15% less than the lower Bunnings price!
DIY 'mixed vegie bags' makes meals faster and easier
This simple tip saves me money and time every day when preparing meals. Whenever I buy frozen vegetables, I bring them home and immediately divide them into portions, placing them into ziplock bags, then popping them in the freezer. I often divide up broccoli, peas, cabbage, sprouts, carrots into the same bag. This way, they take up less space in the freezer and I know exactly how many meals they will serve. None ever get wasted and they can be either stored together or placed with other food to make it instantly possible to grab a complete meal. The same method works well with fresh food in preparation for things such as school fruit or lunch breaks, when time is at a premium in the mornings!!
Get every last cent out of your powder foundation
I have found an easy way to use up every last bit of make-up powder foundation. You know when you have almost got to the end of your powder compact, and all that is left is the powder on the rim? It's sad to waste, but so hard to use. Not any more, however! I've discovered it can easily be removed using a small spoon or lolly stick, then transferring it into another container. From there, you can simply apply it with a brush, like a loose powder! From now on, every time I buy a new compact, the left over bits first get mixed together and used. These days I never run out in between buying my more expensive foundation. Better still, I get to use the crushed foundation powder for 'everyday' and keep the new compact for special occasions, making it last even longer!
Keep nail bitten hands busy doing good
I have found an easy way to stop biting my nails and do a good turn for others at the same time! I have bitten my nails all my life, and especially do so when I sit down to do something like watching TV, when my hands are idle. A couple of years ago however, I began crocheting for charity and gift giving during these times. While being more conscious about what my hands are doing, I am also creating things to bring happiness to others. My nails grow and are stronger than they were, my hands are away from my mouth and I don't have the same urge to bite my nails!
My uni studies STOPPED me biting my nails!
I've been enjoying long, beautiful nails for 30 years, thanks to a method called behaviour modification! I was required to do it as part of a psychology unit at university. It is a method which rewards good behaviour and punishes bad behaviour. This is the method:
- You determine what you want to change: I want to stop biting my fingernails.
- You determine what would be a good reward. I will give myself $1.00 coin.
- You determine what would be a good punishment. I will give $2.00 to charity. Note: It is best that the punishment is worse than the reward, so you can obviously achieve your positive goal ASAP. The simpler your rewards and punishments are, the better. I used the money to purchase a scarf but you could do it for anything.
- You work out what you need to motivate yourself to achieve that positive outcome. I used hand cream daily, I used oil to massage the cuticles daily, I painted my nails with nail hardener and once the nails grew past my fingers, I got manicures regularly.
- Draw up a table as shown below, to keep track of your progress daily to get to your eventual goal:
Day 1 – Outcome: I put my fingers in my mouth So you put a cross in the negative box and take the punishment. Negative Positive Punishment Reward x $2.00 paid to charity
Day 2 – Outcome: I didn't put my fingers in my mouth So you put a cross in the positive box and take the reward Negative Positive Punishment Reward x $1.00 paid to myself
From memory I stopped biting my nails after the second week and kept going until I grew my nails to the length I wanted them. I found that it took about 10 weeks to achieve the outcome I wanted. I didn't think I would get long fingernails, but I did and continue to do so!
You can heal your life - and your nails!
A book by Louise Hay helped me to put an end to 45 long years of nail biting! According to her book, 'You Can Heal Your Life', biting your nails may represent 'frustration, eating away at oneself, or spite of a parent.' It wasn't until I made the conscious connection to my unresolved feelings and nail biting that I stopped. What I found really helped me was downloading some free meditations from YouTube. These cost absolutely nothing to help relax and unwind. I also repeated some daily affirmations such as 'I enjoy having beautiful, long and strong nails'. I have also used homeopathic remedies such as Brauer's Nerve Tonic, which in my opinion is the best thing since sliced bread to calm a stressed nervous system!
Eat your way to lovely, strong nails with blancmange!
If biting your nails is a problem, start growing them from the inside out, with this easy coffee blancmange recipe! All you need is:
One x 400g can coconut milk or cream. 2 tbsp gelatin 2 tsp coffee 1/4 cup hot water Sweetener of your choice, e.g. sugar, stevia or artificial sweetener
Stir the gelatin into the hot water and mix well.
In a separate bowl, put in the coffee and sweetener of your choice and stir, then tip in the can of coconut milk or cream. Pour in the hot gelatin mixture and stir all together well. Refrigerate for one hour.
The result? Delicious, smooth coffee blancmange, with the health benefits of coconut, and gelatin for nail growth!
Online tips and tricks to stop nail biting
To prevent nail biting, let your fingers do the walking online to find some 'handy' solutions! These nail cover rings are one way -
Or you could even try Thai Dancers tips with a little modification -
Self cast tips would be more costly, unless you know someone in the business; or invest in a set of silicone tips if you can stop the nail biter from peeling them off!
Re-use butcher's paper to save on paper towel
Instead of buying expensive paper towel, which doesn't seem to last in our household, we use the butcher's paper that is wrapped around purchases such as deli products to clean out oily pots and pans. This saves us money, as well as a heap of paper towel, landfill space and our precious trees!
Full strength DIY 'Dettol' spray for just 2c a bottle!
A little supermarket research led me to making a huge saving on keeping germs at bay! When my two young children had a gastro bug, I needed anti-bacterial spray to clean up and stop the spread of germs, which vinegar didn't touch. The cheapest anti-bacterial spray I could find was Dettol anti-bacterial spray which cost $4.20 for 500ml. On reading the active ingredients it said it contained Benzalkonium Chloride 0.095%. Then, I saw that a bottle of Coles brand disinfectant was $1.40 for two litres. I read the ingredients and saw Benzalkonium Chloride 1%. The instructions said to dilute it in a ratio of 1:20, or 30ml to 600ml water. So I bought that one, made up the solution and put it in an old spray bottle I already had. It worked just as well and cost just over 2c per spray bottle of prepared solution, compared to $4.20 for the Dettol spray! While Coles brand disinfectant says it can only be used on "floors, walls, bathroom and toilet areas", not in kitchen areas like the Dettol spray, for me these were the only areas that I needed to disinfect and worked a treat!
'Gentle reminder' can lead to a lifetime of saving
Often all it takes is the smallest reminder to make a huge difference. Having just turned 65 and now "eligible" to retire, I am not ready to do so either physically, emotionally or socially. I'm also frequently with younger people, who don't necessarily have the same basic foundation of budgeting that I was brought up with. With that in mind, I have taken to carrying around a subtle reminder of the cost of living which not only works for me, but will hopefully rub off on those around me.
My card wallet has a 'sticker' reminder, which says "$20? Is it worth one hour of work?" It's small and discreet, but effective! It also serves as a talking point when I am out and about with some of the younger ones and buying coffee or lunch. It's simple to make the label on the computer or by hand, then clear tape to the card wallet. Here's to some improved lifestyle options as I age further!
Keep nail biting (and vampires!) away with garlic
My mother put an end to my nail biting using this inexpensive trick. She simply rubbed a freshly cut piece of garlic onto my nail tips. Whenever I would be tempted to nibble my nails I would get a raw garlic taste in my mouth. Gross! It didn't take me long to be cured!
Make-up removal wipes make tough cleaning a breeze
I stumbled across a fantastic household cleaning product quite by accident! While cleaning and decluttering the makeup drawer, I accidentally found myself smearing broken-off eyeliner and other cosmetic dust around. The standard multi-purpose cleaners were not helping and the mess was getting bigger. In desperation, I grabbed out a make-up remover wipe and attacked the mess. Just like that, it removed all the old eyeliner, plus power foundation and everything else from the bottom of the drawer! I'm adding make-up wipes to my regular bathroom cleaning routine from now on!
NLP means great nails for me!
If nail biting or picking is an issue for you or someone you know, you may like to consider Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). I had just one session and it made a fantastic difference for me. I was sceptical throughout the session, until the end of the session when the problem had completely gone away. I was really surprised and completely pleased! Would definitely recommend.
A sticky end to nail biting
We found a low cost and easy solution to helping our daughter stop her nail biting habit. We used good quality sticking plasters and stuck them to the ends of each finger, cutting to fit where needed. It's best to use a 'good' brand like Band Aid, which will stay on for a while. These days, Kinesiology tape would probably be my go-to, as I think it sticks best (when heat activated). Sometimes I would paint the bitter tasting polish over the top of the sticking plaster as a reminder if her fingers got to her mouth. She was motivated to stop, and we promised she could have nice nail polish on when her nails grew out, so there was a carrot as well!

It is 100 years since the right and responsibility to enrol to vote became enshrined in Australian law and 50 years since all Indigenous Australians became entitled to vote in federal elections. (Some, but not all, adult Indigenous Australians, were able to vote prior to 1962.) Celebrations are in order. In March 1962 the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 was amended to enable Indigenous people to enrol to vote in federal elections, but it was not compulsory for them to enrol. It was made an offence for anyone to use undue influence or pressure to induce them to enrol. Once they enrolled, however, voting was compulsory. The story of Indigenous enfranchisement is a long and complex one. There ... Read more...

In speaking about the musical preferences we'd in accordance he knew my personal favorite love song from a really obscure artist—the song is "Margaret therefore the Dutchmen", recorded by Steve Goodman.

Most cities or municipalities do not have many regulations regarding dumpster rental as long as you keep the dumpster entirely on your own property during the rental period. If you need to place your container on the street in any way, you will likely have to obtain a permit from the appropriate building permit office in your town. You can check with your local sanitation department to be sure.
Most dumpster rental companies will take care of securing this permit for you if you rent from them. Make sure that if you're planning to put the dumpster on the street, the company has made the appropriate arrangements. You should also ensure that you get the permit in a timely manner and at the correct cost. If you thought the dumpster company was getting a permit and they did not, you will be the one who will have to pay the fine that is issued by the authorities.
When getting in touch with a service you want to speak a person as opposed to a machine recording, as there are a number of different styles and sizes of dumpsters that one would most likely would like some help deciding on which container will very best fit the requirements. Some sizes and containers are better suit for certain job sites; you would not rent the greatest size for adding decking onto your property, nor would you buy the tiniest dumpster for house building demolition. Any roll off container is usually not something would be acquired either, so when it comes to junk removal, in which the options grow to be increasingly restricted, a dumpster is the foremost tool for the position. After the correct size of the actual container is set, the different materials being delivered will be decided, since hazardous materials and very fragile things such as wine glass are at a lot higher risk connected with causing destruction due to inappropriate handling, and as a consequence are taken care of differently.

You don't need some sort of permit regardless of the sort to use a Big Bag, and you also won't risk any destruction to your property in the bag alone, whereas some sort of dumpster can dissect up your grass or gouge the driveway relatively easily. Additionally to these rewards, buying and utilizing a Big Case can be a whole lot cheaper than Dumpster Rental in 31639. Hand bags cost a sensible amount, commonly in the $30 range. With a bag, you decide the pick-up date for all you debris, which means you don't have to get ready at the end of the Dumpster Rental in 31639 period or why not be liable for extra fees if you overlook your timeline. And, as the bag is definitely yours to retain, you simply get to pay for the actual service to pick-up your next load whenever you want to make use of it again. Most companies will even supply discounts for their hauling rates if you use the bag more frequently. When it's not utilized, you can simply fold your bag: It takes upward about just as much space being a large book bag when it's kept.
There are some protective measures which a user will certainly miss out even though dealing with the actual waste developed if it is taken care of on do it yourself.

Picking an incorrect sized dumpster could lead to doubling the duty as well as charge in terms of carry. There exists various number of restrictions from area to city that your user possesses to know thyself to remove the trash.
Capability & Weight control: For both entrance loading and also roll-off containers the better the dumpster the more high priced it is. Nonetheless, renting a dumpster that is too small can be costly. You might accrue further charges in the event the weight in the materials settled in the dumpster exceeds the maximum pounds limit for the size and price. For example, A new Florida company rented a 20-cubic-yard roll-off dumpster for about $400, crammed it using heave construction debris and was charged another $400 because the pounds of the debris exceeded your 3-ton limit. In the same way, a dumpster that is too small would certainly require further pick-ups to transport away the garbage. Although some businesses automatically include dump/disposal fee into their quoted rates, depending on community garbage premiums and the kind of waste settled there may an additional charge of 25-250 cash or more for every single pickup.
The frequency of which have you obtained something or put some thing to the side simply because you might use the idea one day?

(This article belongs to the Special Issue Synthetic DNA and RNA Programming)
AbstractSynthetic biology is a broad and emerging discipline that capitalizes on recent advances in molecular biology, genetics, protein and RNA engineering as well as omics technologies. Together these technologies have transformed our ability to reveal the biology of the cell and the molecular basis of disease. This Special Issue on "Synthetic RNA and DNA Programming" features original research articles and reviews, highlighting novel aspects of basic molecular biology and the molecular mechanisms of disease that were uncovered by the application and development of novel synthetic biology-driven approaches.

Pictured: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a press conference with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in Jerusalem, Israel on July 19, 2018. (Image source: Kobi Gideon, Israel Government Press Office)
The nationalist leaders of central and eastern Europe are a mixed picture when it comes to Israel. They strongly support Jewish nationalism, Zionism, and the nation state of the Jewish people. But their attitude toward Jews and the Holocaust is often highly questionable.
Ironically (or perhaps hypocritically) many of these same critics urged Israeli prime ministers to speak to Yasser Arafat and other terrorist leaders who have advocated and practiced the murder of Jews. What is the difference? In both cases elected leaders have to hold their collective noses to speak to other leaders of whose ideologies and actions they strongly disapprove. But when you are the leader of a country, pragmatic realpolitik must often prevail over pure ideology.Critics of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu argue that he should never speak to European nationalists because European nationalism often goes hand in hand with anti-Semitism.
Recall the grimace on the face of Yitzhak Rabin when President Clinton urged him to shake the hand of Yasser Arafat, a man who was personally responsible for ordering the murder of Israeli children, women and men. When I subsequently discussed this with Rabin, he said that his hand was shielded by the velvet glove of diplomacy. The left praised Rabin, as well they should have. But many of the same people now condemn Netanyahu for extending the same velvet glove of diplomacy to extreme European nationalists.
There are lines, of course, that no one should ever cross even with the protection of a velvet glove. But if that line was not crossed with Arafat, it certainly is not being crossed with Viktor Orbán and other nationalist leaders. The line cannot be based on the whether the alleged villain is right-wing, left-wing, Muslim or Christian. It must be a line based on objective factors.
The United States dealt, though quietly, with the leaders of Iran, and even dealt with Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin back in the 1930s and 1940s. President Roosevelt, when asked why he was dealing with the tyrannical leader of a central American dictatorship, famously responded: "He is a son of a bitch, but he is our son of a bitch."
The nationalist leaders of central and eastern Europe are a mixed picture when it comes to Israel. They strongly support Jewish nationalism, Zionism, and the nation state of the Jewish people. But their attitude toward Jews and the Holocaust is often highly questionable. The prime minister of Israel must put the interests of his country before ideological purity or attitude toward Jews in general. In a world in which so few nations support Israel and in which so many vote routinely to condemn it at the United Nations, Israel must not easily give up support from right-wing nationalists.
One of the accusations made against Viktor Orbán is that he has attacked George Soros, the Jewish multi-billionaire whose activities in Europe and around the world are highly controversial. The reality is that Soros deserves to be criticized and the fact that he happens to be a Jew should not exempt him from such criticism. Soros has long been an enemy of Israel and has never been a particularly strong supporter of Jewish values. It is, therefore, ironic that criticizing him has seemed to be a benchmark for anti-Semitism.
Beyond Soros, however, there are good reasons for opposing many of the policies and statement of Orbán and his fellow right-wing nationalists. Their attitude toward the Holocaust, especially glorifying anti-Semites who collaborated with the Nazis, deserved serious condemnation, as does the refusal of these leaders to own up to the responsibility of some of their citizens for the "final solution" against the Jews.
Life always presents mixed pictures, especially when it comes to politics and international relations. So do not condemn Prime Minister Netanyahu for doing what virtually every Israeli prime minister has done, beginning with David Ben Gurion accepting reparations from Germany. Politics makes strange bedfellows, and international politics makes even stranger ones. So let us condemn European nationalists when their actions warrant condemnation, but let us welcome their support for Israel at a time when such support is becoming more and more essential.

A prominent Guatemalan supporter of Israel who once said, "He who is Israel's enemy is Guatemala's enemy," won the country's presidential election with 58.5 percent of the vote, results on Monday confirmed.
Conservative candidate Alejandro Giammattei emerged victorious in the vote in the second round of elections on Sunday, beating his rival Sandra Torres, a former first lady.

German exports to Iran fell by nearly half in the first six months of 2019, data showed on Monday, suggesting companies are scaling back business ties with Tehran to avoid trouble with the United States after Washington reimposed sanctions.
Sales to Iran plunged by 48 percent to 678 million euros ($758.8 million) from January through June year-on-year, data from the Federal Statistics Office reviewed by Reutersshowed. Imports from Iran declined by 43 percent to nearly 110 million euros.

The five-day, large-scale multinational exercise, with 10 foreign fleets off the Haifa coast simulating the aftermath of a major earthquake, has brought the Israel Navy to "another level" of preparedness.
Dubbed "Mighty Waves," the drill saw the participation of hundreds of troops on six ships at sea. Five helicopters also took part in the exercise, which focused on the after-effects of a significant 7.5 earthquake that leaves thousands dead and hundreds of thousands homeless.

CTech – Israel has a reputation for being the Startup Nation, but Marcelle Machluf, dean of biotechnology and food engineering at Technion Israel Institute of Technology, predicts that in coming years Israel will be known as the FoodTech Nation.
"Foodtech and biotech are two fields that are climbing to the top of the tech industry," Machluf told Calcalist in a recent interview. "This push is happening for a reason.
Mass shootings are nothing new in the United States, but their sudden rise is ballooning into a shocking nationwide epidemic. Many blame a toxic political culture that is accentuating divisions rather than commonalities between Americans, and the ease in which Americans can access guns, including automatic assault rifles.
If Saturday's horrifying terrorist attack in an El Paso Walmart had taken place in Jerusalem, leaving 22 Israelis dead, the killer would rot in jail knowing his family would be taken care of, paid every month by his government.
He might one day have a park, or a school, or a street named in his honor. He would be held up as a hero and used to inspire more killing. Children would be encouraged to follow his lead.
What, one has to ask, does Iran's Islamic regime have to fear from the country's Christians, Baha'is, Zoroastrians, Sufis, Sunni Muslims, or Jews? Yet its treatment of these minorities is so repressive that it seems not unreasonable to ask if the clerics might be afraid of what they consider challenges to their fantasy of pure Islamic identity.

This week my family and I have the privilege of celebrating two significant and interrelated milestones. We celebrate the 15th anniversary of our arrival in Israel, taking on citizenship and planting our roots firmly in our historic homeland. And we celebrate (yes, celebrate) the induction into the IDF of our oldest son.
When our youngest son was born in Jerusalem, we knew that he would serve in the army, an obligation and privilege as an Israeli Jew, pretty much as genetic as his actual DNA. But when our oldest son was born in N.J., we didn't know this would be his destiny.

Tiny satellites to assist NASA in monitoring InSight's landing
Two briefcase-sized orbiters will help NASA to monitor the landing of its InSight lander in Mars.
NASA's InSight is set to land on Mars in less than a week and it is accompanied by twin orbiters called MarCO or Mars Cube One, according to Science News. These orbiters are also known as CubeSats which are small and inexpensive satellites. Because of their size, they can be easily built and launched. MarCO was launched at the same time as InSight—a shorter term for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport.
InSight was launched in Vandenberg Air Force Base in California last May 5, together with MarCO, but the orbiters have been navigating on their own since the launch. Upon the landing of InSight, the twin CubeSats would navigate their way to the lander's position, allowing them to send information back to Earth. Though both orbiters are backing up each other, they are operating individually. MarCO would also be the first CubeSats to travel this far from Earth.
Faster data transfer
Bringing its own communication system would mean faster data transfer from the lander and orbiters to Earth. According to reports, it would only take 8 minutes for the signal to travel from Mars to Earth. MarCO is now being tested away for future missions to send back data on their entry, descent and landing.
The landing of InSight as it touches the Mars' atmosphere would only take about 6.5 minutes, which means that by the time NASA receives the signal that InSight has entered the planet's atmosphere, it would have already landed. The InSight traveled about 300 million miles in six months, per NBC News.
According to NASA, the InSight lander was designed to land in a dust storm. It will land in Elysium Planitia, which is near the equator of Mars. It is considered the largest parking lot in Mars. The landing site "offers geologically rich terrain with landforms reaching as far back as 3.6 billion years, and could potentially answer important questions in planetary evolution and astrobiology," says NASA's Science Mission Directorate Thomas Zurbuchen, per National Geographic.
MarCO's job will be over after the InSight has already landed. Because of its size, the orbiters don't have enough fuel or equipment to enter a long-term orbit around Mars. Though this is the case, there are still existing orbiters that can support the mission such as NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The existing Mars orbiters could still support two other Mars missions in 2020 which are NASA's Mars 2020 rover and ExoMars rover which is developed by the European Space Agency and Russian space agency.
Apart from the two missions in 2020, there are no plans for the existing orbiters yet. According to Joel Krajewski, an engineer in NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, "Right now, there's not an active plan for an orbiter beyond that time frame." He added that existing orbiters have shortened life spans as they continue to burn fuel to position themselves to observe the landing of other spacecraft. This is why the agency considered sending CubeSats as they could help to monitor the landing of spacecraft without further shortening the lives of bigger orbiters.
Unlike the NASA Mars Exploration Program's Curiosity rover, InSight will not be able to move around Mars. Instead, it will use a number of instruments and its seven-foot-long robotic arm to drill about 16 feet below the surface. The goal of InSight is to provide comparative data on Mars interior to Earth's. It also has seismometer and thermometer in order to measure the frequency and magnitude of marsquakes.
NASA also said that InSight does not intend to search for life but to show if microbes do or ever lived beneath the surface. The InSight lander is estimated to land on Nov. 26.

Launch of Digital Rights Management Blockchain business
Help a small start-up to raise money via an ICO to enable them to launch their Digital Rights Management products, based on distributed hash tables. The aim was to help solve digital piracy issues for artists and creators of digital content.
Having worked at Sony, myself and a few colleagues decided to pursue a dream to set up a company using blockchain tech. We leveraged our network and had a team of advisors from Ernst & Young, PlayStation, Huawei, Fidelity, Paramount Pictures and other relvant companies.
We developed the concept, had a working product and were ready to raise capital to start work, however the decline of the crypto-currency market by 95% that year meant we made the decision not to continue to pursue this idea.
We had a global x-fucntional team of advisors and staff that comprised of:
- 1 x Product owners (UK)
- 1 x Sponsor (Thailand)
- 1 x frontend developers (UK)
- 1 x QA lead frontend (UK)
- 2 x blockchain developers (Turkey/Iran)
- 1 x UX/UI designer (UK)
- 1 x brand marketing lead (Thailand)
- 10 x advisors/experts (all across the globe)

Emergency Cash Loans "Covington Finance Employee Reviews". If you have ever considered applying for a payday loan, you have probably heard of CovingtonFinance. They are one of the more talked about companies, and they have been around awhile. While that tells you that they are a direct lender and can help you get the loan you need, slow down for a minute. Let's talk about what is happening, and let's see if you really need a payday cash advance. You can get cash loans for bad credit by using Covington Finance Employee Reviews, and read reviews.
Covington Finance Employee Reviews, Perhaps there is certainly yet another way. If you must, you must, nevertheless, you want to successfully are able to consistently work your budget without crashing your funds. If you consider your situation is bad now, you don't want to add an uncontrollable pay day loan towards the mix. With that being said, the only way you should take out one of these simple loans is if you see that you just could take care of the loan and all of your budget without making your financial circumstances worse.
Covington Finance.com cash loans offer customers the opportunity to pay back the advance in installments. That may sound great, but you must consider just how much interest you are paying back over time. If you really need the amount of money, along with the payments are affordable, this can seem like a good price. At the very least it might appear like a good deal at the time.
Will it be really a great deal though? That is certainly something you would like to think about for sure when you are about to sign up for that loan from your company like Covington Finance. You would like so as to pay for the payments, and you also are actually dealing with a budget that may be stressed towards the max. Otherwise, you wouldn't be looking at getting financing this way.
If you are looking at this and convinced that your budget isn't stretched for the max completely, then perhaps there is certainly another technique to handle what's on the plate. Have you contemplated all of your current additional options? You definitley don't wish to rush into one of these brilliant loans. These businesses approve people urgently and fund the loans urgently, too. Therefore, maybe that could buy you serious amounts of think things through.
For those who have even a few hours to think about other options, do this. You probably know how they are saying sleep on it, right? You might or might be unable to do that, but consider at the very least stepping back for any minute or leaving. Get the mind on other activities, and see when you absolutely have to go back to getting a loan that will handle your financial emergency.
From things i know, if you do have to get financing this way, CovingtonFinance.com cash loans is a trusted company. It's only the nature of such loans isn't good. These loan companies don't necessarily make their items look that appealing in terms of the repayment schedule. There may be much interest involved, so view your step.

Laura Kuenssberg leads tearful tributes over BBC's axing of This Week: 'No More Molly!'
BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg has led the tributes after hit late-night political show This Week was axed after more than 15 years on screen and she had a special heartbreaking message for one member of the cast.
Last night BBC anchor Andrew Neil, hosted his final show after deciding to step down from the role earlier this year, after 16-years in the hot seat. The veteran presenter – famous for his grilling of MPs – made the BBC One show his own and introduced his golden retriever to the set back in 2013. Molly quickly became a viewers' favourite and graced the sofa with some on the industry's leading figures. The golden retriever famous for drifting in and out of shot – captured the audience's heartstrings when she fell asleep of the lap on historian David Starkey.
Ahead of the final broadcast last night, Miss Kuenssberg wrote on Twitter: "No more Molly on TV the last @bbcthisweek on soon."
Viewers also expressed their disappointment, and called on Miss Kuenssberg to have Molly on her Brexitcast podcast.
One fan wrote on Twitter: "We want #Mollythedog to guest on brexitcast!"
Laura Kuenssberg has led the tributes after late-night political show 'This Week' was finally axed
Another said: "Surely she can be guest of honour on a #brexitcast?!"
Mr Neil introduced Molly to the show after he said: "I thought she would like Kensington's continental feel."
He added: "I was talking about her and the editor told me to bring her along.
"I thought, 'If Blue Peter has a dog, why can't we?' We probably broke every health and safety rule in the book but she is very well-behaved."
Upon announcing the cancellation of the show, Fran Unsworth, BBC director of news, said: "We couldn't imagine This Week without the inimitable Andrew Neil, one of Britain's best political interviewers.
"After 16 years, Andrew is bowing out of late-night presenting on the show, at the top of his game."
The show will now be replaced by BBC's Brexit podcast – which includes Miss Kuenssberg among its cast.
Guests for Mr Neil's last show included Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan and Mr Neil was given a send-off by Simply Red's Mick Hucknall.
However, Mr Neil could not resist one final gag as he bid farewell to viewers, he said: "And that's it from us folks, not just for tonight but forever, it really is the end of an era.
"Thanks to everybody out there who has made this show what it is, a total travesty of public service broadcasting – nighty-night don't let the casting pod bite."

Important Tip: Don't just pay attention to the high-end of the price range! – which is what I know you are all looking at, but also look at the low range. If a contractor is cheaper than this, ask "why?" Usually it is because they don't have liability insurance, workman's compensation insurance, are unlicensed, all of the above, or worst yet, they don't use HVAC technicians. You are spending a lot of money. Make sure that they are licensed (In California, check here at CSLB License Checker) and insured.
I turned on the AC when he was finished and immediately saw black fuzz balls the size of marbles come out of several of the registers. He said that was expected since everything was shaken up. So much for describing the service as cleaning. I paid him and sent him on his way. I cannot imagine that this type of service is worthwhile in anything but a new house. Apparently in old houses such as mine I can expect that using a whole house humidifier in the winter followed by a great AC can loosen the soot. Maybe this is to be expected for the first few weeks of summer each year. I now have lined the inside of the registers with cheesecloth to catch the fuzz. I'll see if it stops after a couple of weeks.
An alternative to packaged systems is the use of separate indoor and outdoor coils in split systems. Split systems are preferred and widely used worldwide except in North America. In North America, split systems are most often seen in residential applications, but they are gaining popularity in small commercial buildings. The split systems are a great choice for small buildings where ductwork is not feasible or where the space conditioning efficiency is of prime concern [20]. The benefits of ductless air conditioning systems include easy installation, no ductwork, greater zonal control, flexibility of control and quiet operation [21]. In space conditioning, the duct losses can account for 30% of energy consumption [22]. The use of minisplit can result in energy savings in space conditioning as there are no losses associated with ducting.
R-22 Freon is being phased out & isn't readily available. So the service company may only purchase as needed and the lack of availability would make their cost high. But, as long as they can get it, whatever the cost, unfortunately, is less expensive than replacing the A/C. Which will be the case eventually since it's no longer manufactured or sooner as in my case with a not so old a/c that sprang a leak, that would have been just a repair, but since it uses R-22 the whole unit has to be upgraded(replaced).
Heaters are appliances whose purpose is to generate heat (i.e. warmth) for the building. This can be done via central heating. Such a system contains a boiler, furnace, or heat pump to heat water, steam, or air in a central location such as a furnace room in a home, or a mechanical room in a large building. The heat can be transferred by convection, conduction, or radiation.
It's 11 years plus in the industry I have only had to sanitize two systems both were slab systems that were in concrete and could be cleaned with a different method than normal duct cleaning. We were able to use water to rinse out the disinfectant. Would you use a chemical on anything else you use to eat or drink with and not rinse it off? The ducts in your home should be thought of as your homes heart and lungs and breathe the same air that you do. And just like us we wouldn't use bad chemicals in our lungs and heart.
It's always changing: Some newer thermostats take advantage of wireless technology. You can adjust your thermostat remotely so that if you leave and forget to adjust it, or if you are going to be home later than you thought, you can adjust it via your smartphone. Some can even give you reports on how efficient your system is performing based on usage. These are very efficient models, but they are also very expensive with some costing over $250.00.
You can adjust for seasons: During the summer, you can have the air conditioner stay off during the cooler morning hours and start cooling the house as everyone gets up and starts moving around. During the winter, you can have your heater stay off while you are away at work and turn on about a half hour or so before you get home so that you are coming home to a nice, warm house.
No matter where you bought your air conditioning system, we can repair it. We have years of experience working with all the best central air conditioner brands such as Kenmore, Carrier. Trane, Goodman, and Rheem. As a result, you can rest assured we're familiar with your air conditioning system and we have the parts you need to complete a successful air conditioner repair.
Duct cleaning has never been shown to actually prevent health problems. Neither do studies conclusively demonstrate that particle (e.g., dust) levels in homes increase because of dirty air ducts. This is because much of the dirt in air ducts adheres to duct surfaces and does not necessarily enter the living space. It is important to keep in mind that dirty air ducts are only one of many possible sources of particles that are present in homes. Pollutants that enter the home both from outdoors and indoor activities such as cooking, cleaning, smoking, or just moving around can cause greater exposure to contaminants than dirty air ducts. Moreover, there is no evidence that a light amount of household dust or other particulate matter in air ducts poses any risk to your health.
I know it has to have a new concentric venting system installed, I believe it needs new plenums ( mine are rusty but both of these require extra work , so someHVAC persons are saying I do not need either!! RED FLAG THERE. Also, it will need a new drain using PVCP ?? Piping run maybe two, depending on where my evep coil drain is conected (here in TN they use to run them in with the septic lines, now they cannot be run through that way), Lastly I am not where or what these things do beides hold water but I was told It needs a filter rack and new filter base safety pan. THATSSS it that is all I know about this stuff aside from the fact that nothing up there is to code thus far LOL. !!
Some Service Professionals are employees, franchisees, dealers, or independent contractors ("Corporate SP's") of larger national or corporate accounts ("Corporate Accounts"). In such event, you may be matched with the Corporate Account entity or with one of their Corporate SP's. The above screening criteria is not applicable to Corporate Accounts, and therefore, HomeAdvisor does not screen the Corporate Accounts or Corporate SP's.
Whether or not central air adds value to your home depends on your location. You probably won't recoup the entire cost for the installation, as it is an expensive project that isn't as flashy as something like a new deck. But this invisible upgrade can help you sell your home if you live in a hot climate. And many buyers are willing to pay a bit more for a working AC.
I am NADCA Certified Air Systems Cleaning Specialist. Over the year I have learned on simple answer to this questions: there air duct cleaners and there are pretenders. There will be no benefit at all if you use on the very cheap pretender because they will not really clean anything. On the other hand if you call a qualified air duct cleaner with a NADCA Certification you will, like 99% of my customers, report improvement with your respiratory problems, you will see less dust and the job will pay for itself with energy savings and repair prevention.
I have lived in Calgary for quite some time now. When I first moved here I couldn't stand the humidity levels. Its like a desert come winter. When I first moved into my new home, the house inspector insisted I have my furnace and ducts cleaned. I was very sceptical about duct cleaning to begin with. The company I hired came on time and were very respectable from the start. Before mentioning anything they asked me what my concerns were and what issues I was having. They were more concerned about addressing my issues then bringing anything non related up. I ended up going with this company and getting a humidifier installed a couple days later after the cleaning. Its been almost 4 years now that I have been here. The humidifier is working great and the difference is incredible. They took me around explained step by step what they were doing and the reasons they were doing it. With all those other companies out there, I am glad I found them at this site.
Air conditioning and refrigeration are provided through the removal of heat. Heat can be removed through radiation, convection, or conduction. Refrigeration conduction media such as water, air, ice, and chemicals are referred to as refrigerants. A refrigerant is employed either in a heat pump system in which a compressor is used to drive thermodynamic refrigeration cycle, or in a free cooling system which uses pumps to circulate a cool refrigerant (typically water or a glycol mix).
I'm a heating and air conditioning contractor. I've been in the trade for over 15 years. I've witnessed numerous duct cleaning projects and talked with many duct cleaners. Duct cleaning as it's usually promoted is a fraud. Most duct cleaners claim to deliver cleaner air. They deliver exactly the opposite. The studies on duct cleaning prove it, including a May 1998 study sponsored by NADCA and the EPA! The stories are compelling, but they can come up with stories that "prove" anything they want. Internet searches are dominated by results from those who are paid to tell you that duct cleaning is worthwhile. Search a little more and you'll find the truth.
So HVAC sent Tony Diaz to my house. I was at work so he was subjected to the most excruciatingly exacting woman on the planet (my wife). Tony impressed her with his friendliness, professionalism and the obvious jouneyman-level knowledge of his craft. He found literally --burnt-out-- parts in our system and replaced them. It cost us a bit but I know enough about the parts to see there was no gouging on the parts and a fair rate for the labor. It wasn't cheap but it was fair and worth every dime.
I even asked if this is something they don't do, as in services on a Saturday night. I was told by the receptionist that they do and I would just be ok calling another company if they is not part of their services. They again assured me someone WILL call me in 10 mins. Well, unless their definition of 10 mins is never, then they got it wrong as I am still waiting to be called 5 days later.
"Our Pro was the most courteous and informative gentleman that we have had the pleasure to work with, was great. He let us know immediately what the problem was and what the cost to fix it would be. Also, he let us know how to maintain and extend the life of our washer. He was very personable and made us very comfortable with the process. We would have him back in a heartbeat if anything ever goes wrong again. It was the best experience we have ever had with a appliance repair service."

Over the past few months, I've been sharing my new approach to being healthy (both in body and in mind) on this blog. This particular post will probably make a lot more…
"I'm saving the Amalfi Coast for something special," I remember saying to a friend in London, years ago. I had just returned from Cinque Terre for the third time, another part of Italy that is raved about for its beauty. The Amalfi Coast, a 50-kilometre stretch of coastline along the Mediterranean, kept eluding me despite being so high on my dream travel list. Saying I was saving if for something special made me feel slightly better about not seeing it yet.
The truth is, I didn't know what that "something special" was going to be. "I'm saving the Amalfi Coast for something special," became my mantra, the Amalfi Coast becoming that destination that was always in the back of my mind, that place I so desperately wanted to visit but didn't know how.
After fifteen years of writing online, I have definitely committed some of the biggest mistakes in travel blogging. Here's what I did wrong, and what I've learned along the way.
This is how your heart breaks: slowly and deliberately, and then all at once. A story about falling in and out of love.
The first time I was ghosted, I didn't understand what I had done wrong.
I met Chris in a little cocktail bar one rainy night in London (sidenote: my best friend has demanded that I never again date a guy called Chris… I'm cursed with guys called Chris). We had a fantastic date, one of my best ever, and it culminated with both a passionate kiss and an invitation to a second date. He texted me on the way home.
"I can't stop smiling…," he wrote, and oh my god, there is no better feeling than getting that text after making out with a ridiculously hot, ridiculously intelligent journalist named Chris, let me tell you.
Over the next couple of days, we texted back and forth and made plans for our upcoming dinner date. And then, the day before, I texted him to confirm what time we were meeting. No response. That seemed a bit strange, but I tried not to let it bother me until the next day. By lunchtime – I would assume we were meeting only a few hours later – I texted again. Yes, oh yes, the dreaded double-text. But I was kind of worried, and very confused.
"Hey," I texted. "Are we still on for tonight?"
And that, dear friends, is when I encountered my first ghost.
I once met a girl named Courtney while I was travelling through Nicaragua. She was tall and rail thin, her body covered in tattoos. From Seattle originally, we met on a volcano-boarding tour just outside of Léon, a small colonial city where all the buildings were painted dark pinks and greens and blues. We'd spent the day climbing Cerro Negro Volcano and then riding on sleds down the side of it, hurtling ourselves down the soft black ash.
"I just got this one before I left for Central America… look." She instructed me to pull down the back of her t-shirt, revealing sprawling script across her shoulders. I recognised the words; it was a quote by Saint Augustine. I had heard the quote a few times before, seen it on a mug or read it on a blog. This was before it became one of the most popular travel quotes splashed across the internet, found on thousands of Pinterest boards, the text always written over the image of a pristine beach or a young woman standing on a mountaintop, her blonde hair blowing in the wind.
The thing is… I hate this quote.

A FPGA-Based Time-to-Digital Converter with Shifted Clock Sampling Technique
WANG Wei;LI Jie;DONG Yongmeng;XIONG Pinbo;ZHOU Hao;YUAN Jun;WANG Guanyu;YANG Zhenglin;CHEN Dan;College of Electronics Engineering,Chongqing Univ.of Posts and Telecommunications;Chongqing Lotus Silicon Electronics Technology Ltd.Co.;
A kind of time-to-digital converter(TDC)was designed with shifted clock sampling technique in Xilinxs general purpose Virtex-5field programmable gate array(FPGA).The clock management tile(CMT)was utilized to produce 16-channel fixed phase-shifted signals,then was combined with 16D-type flip-flops to sample and quantify the input signal.Compared with the traditional TDC design methods,such as tapped delay lines,the proposed circuit needed lower resources,and was more stable.The simulation results showed that the time accuracy was as high as 64 ps,and less than 20% of DCM and PLL resources in FPGA were used.The integral nonlinearity(INL)and differential nonlinearity(DNL)characteristics of the designed TDC were both less than 0.3LSB.

Bodybuilding became more popular in the 1950s and 1960s with the emergence of strength and gymnastics champions, and the simultaneous popularization of bodybuilding magazines, training principles, nutrition for bulking up and cutting down, the use of protein and other food supplements, and the opportunity to enter physique contests. The number of bodybuilding organizations grew, and most notably the International Federation of Bodybuilders (IFBB) was founded in 1946 by Canadian brothers Joe and Ben Weider. Other bodybuilding organizations included the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), National Amateur Bodybuilding Association (NABBA), and the World Bodybuilding Guild (WBBG). Consequently, the male-dominated contests grew both in number and in size. Besides the many "Mr. XXX" (insert town, city, state, or region) championships, the most prestigious titles[according to whom?] were Mr. America, Mr. World, Mr. Universe, Mr. Galaxy, and ultimately Mr. Olympia, which was started in 1965 by the IFBB and is now considered the most important bodybuilding competition in the world.
In the last week leading up to a contest, bodybuilders usually decrease their consumption of water, sodium, and carbohydrates, the former two to alter how water is retained by the body and the latter to reduce glycogen in the muscle. The day before the show, water is removed from the diet, and diuretics may be introduced, while carbohydrate loading is undertaken to increase the size of the muscles through replenishment of their glycogen. The goal is to maximize leanness and increase the visibility of veins, or "vascularity". The muscular definition and vascularity are further enhanced immediately before appearing on stage by darkening the skin through tanning products and applying oils to the skin to increase shine. Some competitors will eat sugar-rich foods to increase the visibility of their veins. A final step, called "pumping", consists in performing exercises with light weights or other kinds of low resistance (for instance two athletes can "pump" each other by holding a towel and pulling in turn), just before the contest, to fill the muscles with blood and further increase their size and density.
Weight training aims to build muscle by prompting two different types of hypertrophy: sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar. Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy leads to larger muscles and so is favored by bodybuilders more than myofibrillar hypertrophy, which builds athletic strength. Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy is triggered by increasing repetitions, whereas myofibrillar hypertrophy is triggered by lifting heavier weight.[23] In either case, there is an increase in both size and strength of the muscles (compared to what happens if that same individual does not lift weights at all), however, the emphasis is different.
Site enhancement oil, often called "santol" or "synthol" (no relation to the Synthol mouthwash brand), refers to oils injected into muscles to increase the size or change the shape. Some bodybuilders, particularly at the professional level, inject their muscles with such mixtures to mimic the appearance of developed muscle where it may otherwise be disproportionate or lacking.[55] This is known as "fluffing".[56][57] Synthol is 85% oil, 7.5% lidocaine, and 7.5% alcohol.[56] It is not restricted, and many brands are available on the Internet.[58] The use of injected oil to enhance muscle appearance is common among bodybuilders,[59][60] despite the fact that synthol can cause pulmonary embolisms, nerve damage, infections, sclerosing lipogranuloma,[61] stroke,[56] and the formation of oil-filled granulomas, cysts or ulcers in the muscle.[60][62][63] Rare cases might require surgical intervention to avoid further damage to the muscle and/or to prevent loss of life.[64]
