Transformation of Penicillium expansum with the pBT6 vector yielded 8 to 34 transformants per μg of DNA. Hybridization analyses revealed that homologous recombination occurred in most of the transformants. Twenty-one out of 25 transformants analysed showed hybridization patterns which were indistinguishable from that of the wild type.

We show that in the transition from Ti(IV) to Ti(III), on the surface of anatase the TiO6/3 octahedra undergo compressive tetragonal distortion. The axial Ti−O bond length in the octahedron decreases in this case by at least 0.0027 nm.

Microalgae offer potential for numerous commercial applications, among them the production of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs). These valuable fatty acids are important for a variety of nutraceutical and pharmaceutical purposes, and the market for these products is continually growing. An appropriate ratio of LC-PUFA of the ω-3 and ω-6 groups is vital for "healthy" nutrition, and adequate dietary intake has strong health benefits in humans. Microalgae of diverse classes are primary natural producers of LC-PUFA. This mini-review presents an introductory overview of LC-PUFA-related health benefits in humans, describes LC-PUFA occurrence in diverse microalgal classes, depicts the major pathways of their biosynthesis in microalgae, and discusses the prospects for microalgal LC-PUFA production.

Six new poly(amide-imide)s (PAIs) 8a-f were synthesized from the direct polycondensation reaction of 1,1-bis[4-(trimellitimido)phenoxy]methane 6 with various aromatic diamine 7a–f. The polymerization reactions produced a series of thermally stable and organosoluble PAIs with high yield and good inherent viscosity. The resulted polymers were fully characterized by means of FTIR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy, elemental analyses, inherent viscosity, and solubility tests. Also thermal properties of the PAIs 8a–f were investigated using thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and derivative of thermaogravimetric (DTG) analysis. dicarboxylic acid 6 was synthesized from the reaction of 1,1-bis[4-aminophenoxy]methane 4 with trimellitic anhydride 5 in a solution of glacial acetic acid/pyridine (Py) at refluxing temperature.

The development of a Pd(ii)-catalysed enantioselective fluorination of C(sp3)−H bonds would offer a new approach to making chiral organofluorines. However, such a strategy is particularly challenging because of the difficulty in differentiating prochiral C(sp3)−H bonds through Pd(ii)-insertion, as well as the sluggish reductive elimination involving Pd−F bonds. Here, we report the development of a Pd(ii)-catalysed enantioselective C(sp3)−H fluorination using a chiral transient directing group strategy. In this work, a bulky, amino amide transient directing group was developed to control the stereochemistry of the C−H insertion step and selectively promote the C(sp3)−F reductive elimination pathway from the Pd(iv)–F intermediate. Stereochemical analysis revealed that while the desired C(sp3)−F formation proceeds via an inner-sphere pathway with retention of configuration, the undesired C(sp3)−O formation occurs through an SN2-type mechanism. Elucidation of the dual mechanism allows us to rationalize the profound ligand effect on controlling reductive elimination selectivity from high-valent Pd species.

An improved spectrophotometric method for phosphorus determination in oils is proposed. The proposed new method has made significant improvements in safety, sensitivity, and efficiency in comparison with the current American Oil Chemists' Society (AOCS) Official Method (Ca 12–55, corrected 1992). The AOCS method employs hydrazine sulfate as the reducing agent to generate molybdenum blue. Hydrazine sulfate is a known carcinogen in laboratory animals and a suspected human carcinogen. The chemical also irritates skin and mucous membranes. In the improved method ascorbic acid is used as the reducing agent. Ascorbic acid is equally effective as hydrazine sulfate for the color reaction. The improved method is approximately 75 times more sensitive than the AOCS method. The sensitivity is improved by measuring absorbance at the absorption peak, 825 nm, and reducing the final volume of reaction mixture for color reaction. The AOCS method determines phosphorus by measuring absorbance at 650 nm, which is about 40% of that at the absorption peak. The efficiency of this improved method is also significantly increased by reducing sample size and the volumes of sample preparation. Therefore, the improved method is more cost-effective than the AOCS method because less chemical reagents and smaller glassware are used, and the hazardous chemical waste disposal cost is eliminated. The improved method also avoids concentrated HCl and 50% KOH for sample preparation.

A complementary use of the comparative and the semi-absolute variations of instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) has enabled us to determine 22 different elements in a sample of natural fluorite originating from the younger granite province of Nigeria. The mineral has a brownish purple appearance with some veinlets having a deep purple coloration. Of all the 22 elements measured, Fe (851.36 ppm), Sb (7.69 ppm), Ag (87.4 ppm), Hg (2.71 ppm) and Se (1.97 ppm) are found to be exclusive to the veinlets while Au (109.15 ppm), Co (2.15 ppm) and W (173.20 ppm) are concentrated in the main matrix of the fluorite. With the aid of the semi-absolute method, it was possible to measure the Au concentration in the IAEA Soil-7 reference material to be 56.83±5.87% ppm. A qualitative electron microprobe analysis (EMA) showed that the bulk of the matrix is composed mainly of Ca and F, as expected.

Starts Feb 4. Seats limited.
Hiya, and welcome to my first Original story. Mages, Magic, and Monsters a comic/novel I've had in mind for a while. Here's a quick plot summary if your interested (:.
-For centuries Mages (Humanoids with Magical abilities) have lived in secret, and have been completely unknown by Humans. After learning this fact we are introduced to the main character Alex Madrove, who despite being born into a Mage family seemingly posses no Magical gift. Soon his whole world is flipped upside-down as a mysterious girl named Audrey claiming to be his "Magical Guardian" reveals his powers to him. He is soon whisked away to a school, made for Mages called Blackleash-hidden within a mountain in California. He is kept their for his safety and stays with his close older cousin, He is later informed he may be a part of a centuries old Prophecy- claiming that 3 powerful Mages would rise up to defeat a great evil. He soon finds their is Danger within Blackleash in the form of a powerful Demon called Derangia, who has infiltrated Blackleash and is hell-bent on ending Alex's life."
I need extreme skill and dedications to these roles, and based on personal experience ask that, if you audition for a character with an accent don't go over the top-or underwhelming. I thank you for your consideration and wish you well. This project specificly will be a dub of the comic and will be released Chapter by Chapter-note I'm only partly through a rough draft so this may take a while
*Note-If you see the term Clans within any audition descriptions I would like to explain what Clans are. Within Mages, Magic, and Monsters Clans are basically ethnicities within this universe specifically for Mages-each containing their own Culture, Looks, Ideas, and Abilities
*Note 2-While their is no NSFW content in it there is some dark/politicly incorrect humor and LGBTQ Relationships so if you want to audition keep those thoughts in mind
Alex is the protagonist and 2nd Narrator of the story. He himself is very intelligent, dry, clever, witty, and nerdy. While he is very aware of Magics existence, he has always been told the Mage gene skipped a generation (him and his sister)-however that may prove to be a lie as the story goes on.
Clan: Warlock (Half Human Half Mage)
Ethnicity: White (North American)

"Hi, my names Alex...and welcome to, The Trashpit."
"My worlds been completley turned up upside down. I can't ever be normal again. I can't just read my comics anytime. I can't have any normal friends. I cant be a coward. I can't be AVERAGE. I have to be a hero!...Did that sound too corny? Eh probably"
"Hey! C'mon man leave him alone-what did he do to you?"
Audrey is Alex's Magical Protector, and adopted daughter of Victor Mercer-head master of Blackleash school and governor of Blackleash city (a medium sized city residing in the mountain alongside the school). She is EXTREMELY feisty, independent, brave, head strong, and easily annoyed she is also thought to be part of the Prophecy-that 3 young mages will rise up to defeat a great evil.

"Yeah, Dad.....Proffesor Mercer took me in when I was a couple days old. He's uh...he's a pretty great guy. He has his flaws but then again who doesn't right? Anyways...I'm gonna put this kinda bluntly, sorry if I've been being a bit of a bitch to you."
August is an extremely kind, sweet, naive, and loving boy-who is Alex's first real friend once Alex arrives at Blackleash. He is however constantly bullied as his grandfather was once a cultist-who worship alongside a powerful Demon and the stories antagonist-Derangia.
August is thought to be the 3rd and final member of The Prophecy
Clan: Warlock
Ethnicity: White (North American)
Magic Specialty: Healing
"Hey thanks! You really saved me back there! Um, What can I do to repay you?"
"Hey be careful! I...would really hate if you were to slip and hurt yourself."
"My grandpa...he wasn't the greatest person. And I've kind of been paying for it all my life. Oh sorry was I droaning on? Sorry."
Proffesor Victor Mercer is headmaster of The Blackleash school and governor of the city also named Blackleash. He is the one responsible for creating the Blackleash School and is infact a Prince and rightful King of his clan The Perserverance Forgers but left that life to help others in need. He is the mentor figure of the series and is a kind, warm, and wise man.
Clan: Perserverance Forger
Ethnicity: African-American (North American)
Magic Specialty: Forging (To mold energy into objects)
"Long ago...even before my time....there was a war. The clans had been in constant disagreement for years and it had finally reached a boiling point. The clans split and went into fierce battle. Many were killed-The Revenants were driven to near extinction. However none were worse affected than the Humans-who were caught in the crossfire."
"The Humans were beyond infuriated once the dust had settled and the battle was done-the Humans, greatly outnumbering the Mages chased the Mages to Mount Blackleash. Where the Mages remained for years-far to fearful to leave-some remained in the Mountain-yet others formed hidden kingdoms all around the world."
"Are you hurt? Let me see...ah do not worry, it is nothing but a scratch you will be fine. But-do be careful."
Pandora is of Elven descent but has lived in Blackleash her entire life. She was the un-born daughter of a Marquis and Marichoness but their Clans kingdom was invaded by the Warlike Fire Elemental Clan-she was delivered safley in Blackleash-however her parents went back to The Elven kindgom to aid in the war and never came back. She has adopted Elven culture being Peacful, Kind, Calm, and Tranquil
Clan: Elves
Ethnicity: Elven (Has a purplish-pink skin tone)

"Oh...I didn't notice you entering! Sorry, I was meditating I must not have heard you. That's okay! Come on in."
Jason is one of my favorites. He is part of The Revenant clan-who are nearly extinct. He has a horrible and tragic upbringing, created in a lab by an unstable scientist-and forced to be an Assassin at the age of 8. At 13 he escaped along with his sister and got into Blackleash. He has succeeded at being of the most Magickly gifted students and works for a secret Blackleash funded team of Mages called The Red Crow-which deal with Magickal criminals and Rouge Monsters.
Jason is quite pessimistic and quite brooding but is actually a kind and sweet guy-however he does have severe PTSD. His biggest personality trait is his constant need and wanting of justice and fairness.
Clan: Revenant
Ethnicity: White (North American)
Magic Specialty: Shadow-Bending/Esper (Psychokinesis,Telepathy,Force Fields)
"Just saying...you'll probably never hear me say "What a nice day." "
"No! Thats so wrong! We can't let him run around, hurting whoever he wants! We need to find and stop him now! No more messing around, if none of you are willing to stop Derangia, I'll find him and stop him myself."
*Add some effects to make this line sound deep and demonic*
"I will pick the flesh from your bones and grind your bones to paste."
NOTE* For this role it is preferred that you, at the very least have a decent grasp of Spanish as she dips in and out and is a big part of her character
Rosalina is easily MY favorite character in this book. She is Alex's older cousin and his not so legal "Legal Guardian" during his time at Blackleash. She is extremely bold, confident, and most of all weird-funny. Often to avoid embarrassment she dips into Spanish when saying odd or funny lines. All together she can be sweet and confident...but has quite the temper.
Clan: Fire Elemental
Ethnicity: Mexican (Latin-American)
Magical Specialty: Pyromancy
"Dios mio! Little cousing you've grown so much. It's so great to see you again."
"Mmmm, me gustaria verlo un poco menos...desnudo, si usted sabe lo que quiero decir"
English translation
"Mmmm, I'd like to see him a little more...unclothed, if you know what I mean."
"I swear to god, if you touch my baby cousin-I'll smack you so hard-all the bitchyness in you will get knocked out."
Caroline or better known by her nickname Pastela (a nick name given for her artistic skill) is a powerful student at Blackleash and is thought to be the last of her Clan-The Constructors who are considered the first Mages and had the ability to form any object or construct they desire as long as they have a way to cast them-wand, pencil, ECT.
Pastela is considered Emo or at very least pessimistic as she is very calm, quiet, sarcastic, and has a low voice
Clan: Constructors
Magical Specialty: Constructing
"Fine. Whatever you say. It's not like I have anything better to do."
"Look-okay I'm sorry-I shouldn't have said that. Now will you please calm down? I have work to do."
*Chuckles slightly* "Thats actually kinda funny."
Thomas Lacroix or better known by his school nickname Jinx is what one would consider "the soul of the party". He is from France and is very flamboyant, extra, charming, and animated and is never seen anywhere without his beloved pimp cane which he has named- Camilla. He does have a pretty thick French accent so try not to over do it
Clan: Warlock
Ethnicity: White (French-American)
Magical Specialty: Jinxes (Ability to Alter Luck)
"Why hello there mon cherie, what would your name happen to be?"
"Okay you boring bastards, The partys here! Get up and have some fun for once in your miserable lifes."
"Hey-I can take alot of crap-but NOBODY. And I mean NOBODY but me touches Camilla, compris?"
*Compris? is French for Understood?*
Steel is one of Rosalina's best friends-and openly and proudly gay. He is very snarky and sarcastic and sharp tounged. He can be a great guy-athletic, smart, but can have a hard time with empathy and others feelings.
He has a baritone like voice-that is cocky and sharp tounged

"Ya know I just have the overwhelming compulsion to just straight up deck you in the face."
"Theres two types of people in the world-Assholes and Assholes who won't admit their assholes."
Derangia is a powerful and manipulative demon and antagonist of the story. He is the leader of The Black Rose-a cult like group that directly opposes The Prophecy by claiming the Black Rose is the only thing strong enough to destroy the "Great Evil" He is not only rivals with Mercer but is hell bent on killing the 3 children mentioned in The Prophecy. He himself is sadistic, cruel, taunting, and devoutly loyal to The Black Rose.
Clan: Demon
Ethnicity: Full Blood (Pure Demon)
Magical Specialty: Shape Shifting
"Hahah, thats cute. You actually think you can defeat the Black Rose.
"Hmmm-I wonder Victor if your Daughter will die just as easily as your wife did?"
"Your pathetic spells cannot defeat me child-nor can your pathetic Prophecy. Your precious Prophecy is nothing but a grand lie."
John Sabre is one of the few humans to have the privilege of knowing of the Mages exsistance,and Blackleashes grounds keeper-specificly of the woods right outside Mt. Blackleash. He was bitten by a werewolf and after seeking the help of a medium was able to find Blackleash. He was welcome in with open arms and became close friends with Professor Mercer. He often locks himself inside his own cabin when he turns into a werewolf-and has so far, not been able to break out.
He's very cow boyish and hails from Texas-he even has a revolver-which he keeps a silver bullet in just in case. He should have a deep, growly, and no nonsense voice.
Clan: Half-Human (Werewolf)
Ethnicity: White (North American)
Magical Speciality: None
*Spits* "Welcome ta Blackleash-names John, John Sabre."
"Damn it-full moons comin out earlier than I though-I gotta get goin. You kids try not ta hurt yourself-I can't babysit all day."
*Make some howling, growling, and barking sounds*
The Narrator is actually a character in his own right, being one of the liveliest at that. He often flips his own "job" on its head talking and caring about himself and his own achievements rather than those of characters in the story! He bickers with, purposely annoys, and insults Alex, and often leaves the poor kid to Narrate by himself. Deep down-though he wont admit it he cares for Alex. Its is of note that Alex is the only one that can hear him
Voice: The Narrator has a deep, narcissistic, and monotone voice which at times-can allow him to be a decent Narrator
Clan: Unknown
Ethnicity: Unknown
Magical Specialty: Unknown
"Yeah yeah yeah-thats great kid. Anywayssssss I think we should talk about my accomplishments. If you hadn't noticed I just narrated an entire chapter. Your welcome."
"I'd describe the town but-I haven't slept all day so-Alex why don't you go ahead and do it? I mean-you live here-you should know what everything looks like."
"Alex-you should really stop talking out loud to me. No one else can hear me. You sound like a lunatic right now."
Peter Madrove is Alex's father-he's an agent of Magick-a Mage government funded agency that capture, secure, or eliminate Magical threats or Monsters. Peter is very relaxed, calm, sarcastic, and a sweet guy in terms of voice try a calm, chilled out, kind of deep down tired voice.
Clan: Warlock
Ethnicity: Warlock
Magical Specialty: Wind and Electricity
"Woah, woah hey keep clear-I have a baby chupacabra here. If this gets out it'll put Emma's tantrums to shame."
"I can't remember the last time I saw that whip." *Chuckles* "Oh wait, yes I do."
Maria is Alex's Mother and carries on some of the same traits of the Gomez side of the family like Rosalina's including a lot of bravery and confidence but Maria is a very polite and kind woman-and is a private investigator.
Voice: I would need a confident, sweet, light toned voice
Clan: Witch
Ethnicity: Mexican (Latin-American)
Magical Specialty: Hard Light Energy (Can also make a unbreakable whip out of the,energy)
Say something you think would fit
"Not funny Peter! Its really not a time for humor."
"Alex,there's no time to explain but your in danger. You have to get out of here. Your going to be staying with your cousin for a while."
Emma is Alex's older sister and a popular queen bee. She accidently starts a conflict with another Queen Bee-Lindsay Serratos which puts Alex in danger.
Emma is very confident, sassy, bossy, and tough
Clan: Human
Ethnicity: Mexican (Latin-American)
Magical Specialty: None
"Hah Hah Dad your a reaaaalll comedian."
"Are you crazy?! I can't fight her I'd get my ass handed to me!"
Lindsay is a queen bee back in Alex's home state of Illinois-she starts a feud with Emma and begins bullying Alex to get back at her.
Lindsay is a very mean, sassy. cruel, and sadistic young lady
Clan: Human
Ethnicity: Latin American
Magical Specialty: None
"Wow you actually have pretty eyes-shame I'll have to fuck your face up."
"You can tell your sister she can take her "truce" and shove it. Im done with her."
Gus is one of Alex's friends back at in Illinois and similar to Alex is a comic fanatic.
He is very bossy and arrogant but not a dumb guy
"Sorry but you opinion is wrong-Cry For Justice is NOT a good storyline are kidding? What's next are you gonna say Ultimatums writing is okay?
"Hmph whatever."
Jackson is another of Alex's friends back at Illinois-Jackson is not the smartest but is a sweet, good natured guy.
"Of course not! Ultimatum was a horrible storyline. It ruined the entire Ultimate storyline-but comparing Cry For Justice To Ultimatum is a bit of a stretch."
Stonclopses are distant cousins of Cyclops's-they are not as smart as Cyclops but are physically stronger-they can also turn people that look into their eye to stone. A group of them are sent to attack Alex as he tries to escape to Blackleash.
Ms Jenkins is Blackleahses librarian and is closely being investigated by Alex, Audrey, and August as she has been acting suspicious
"Excuse me, but the library closes in 5 minutes-just a heads up."
"C'mon young man its time to leave!"
Vanessa is Blackleahses queen bee and Rosalinas rival. She is mean, cold, and manipulating and enjoys engaging in relationships only to break up with that person for the fun of it. She does however have a major thing for Jason, who she borderline obsesses over.
Clan: Witch
Ethnicity: White (North American)
Magical Specialty: Cryomancy
"So your Rosalinas cousin? Hah I was expecting someone a little less...socially inept."
"Okay Rosie why don't you just run along home and complain to your Pacifist Freak and Emo Amateur Artist friends-cause I don't want listen to it."
"Mabye I'll just have to freeze your whole body then shatter you!...Nah just kidding I'm not a nice person but I'm not gonna kill someone."
Edgar is Jason's spirit animal-and can mentally talk to Jason all though to everyone else-all they hear is a low, hoarse, intimidating "Nevermore" when he speaks-but Jason always hears more.

Best Vinyl Fence
Hey buddy, since you are reading this article, I am sure you are searching for the best vinyl fence for your home or other project or maybe you are here because you want to know about vinyl fence right?
Well, vinyl fence is a kind of plastic fence that is not made with any common plastic but it is made with PVC that means polyvinyl chloride. This PVC resin is mixed with some special components that make the vinyl fence even more durable than any other wood fence.
Nowadays, vinyl fence is getting popular day by day for its low-maintenance option for installing and, also for its availability in a variety of styles and colors. The fence is so durable that some manufacturer offers a lifetime warranty. It is five times more tensile strength as well as four times flexible than wood.
Vinyl fence is a very easy-care alternative to any other fence's materials. The vinyl fence never rots, splits, warps, or blisters like a common wood fence, or chips, peels, rusts, or corrodes like the aluminum. The vinyl won't need staining, sanding or painting. The surface dirt, as well as debris, washes away very easily with a simple periodic spraying from your garden hose.

How To Choose The Best Vinyl Fence?
Hope, you have got a clear idea about the vinyl fence. But, when you go to buy the best vinyl fence, you will face problem to find the best one. Why? The reason is, with the increase of its popularity, the market is flooded now with various types of vinyl fences. Among those huge collections, finding the best vinyl fence for your project is a little bit difficult especially if you are a new person in this field. But don't worry! I am here to help you. Below, I am writing some characteristics of a good, durable vinyl fence and some tips to find out the best one that you should consider while buying a vinyl fence.
Avoid Large Store
Home Depot, Lowe's, and other hardware stores stock vinyl conveniently. Though their stocked vinyl fences are well advertised and affordable, those are lack of quality. Their theory is simple. You will get what you pay for. So in order to get the best one with high quality, you should not go to the large store rather you should go elsewhere.
Check Ingredients
In order to get the best quality fence, you need to get a professional grade fence. To ensure that, search for the vinyl fence that is made with virgin PVC. Maybe you are thinking that the vinyl made with virgin PVC is costly than the vinyl made from recycling, but trust me, recycling items do not provide good quality. If you want a strong, weather resistance, and beautifully designed fence and also want that your fence will remain durable for years to come then you should go for the professional grade fence. I am sure you are a smart guy and you will not be fooled by cheaper and recycle items.
This is another important factor while choosing the best vinyl fence. Most of the people go for the white fence though; you can select whatever color you want. Just make sure you are taking the one that will not fade or yellow. Also, check the materials that are UV rays resistance, UV rays will discolor your fence if it is made from the materials that cannot resist UV rays.
While choosing the vinyl fence, make sure you are buying this from a reputable dealer or brand. The reason is when you buy from a reputable dealer or brand, the chance is very low that it will go wrong. But even if it goes wrong anyway, you can replace it or fix it from the dealer and reputable brand or dealer will replace or fix it for you with pleasure. One thing you need to remember that the vinyl fence is a long-lasting product. So check the warranty. Many companies offer limited or lifetime warranty. This is not only a warranty but also a satisfaction of mind. You can be assured that the product is going to last long. Also, check the review of the fence.
Try to manage a sample and inspect the strength of the fence. Does it easily bend? Does it seem weak? Check the bottom rails. Is it reinforced along with steel or any other kinds of materials? Look for the gates with steel and steel hardware or other aluminum frames. Remember, you should pick the one that has the highest strength.
Why is size important? Because you can identify the cheaper fence easily by checking the size of components as well as wall thickness. Sometimes, the manufacturers lower the production cost by making small and thin fences. It will not just lower the quality but also it lowers the durability of the fences. So carefully check the size and thickness.
This one is also important since it will determine the beauty of your ground side. Choose whatever design you like most and whatever design suits most of your ground. The vinyl fence offers various designs, what you need to do is choose. But while choosing the best design; be careful about other factors as well.
Price is always important. But there are two problems. Number 1 is, an expensive product does not mean quality and number 2 is our old maxim, you will get what you pay for. That means you should not go for cheap one. And also you should not go for the expensive one without checking quality. Remember, quality is always first. You know, people tend to save their money always, but for the quality, you should sacrifice a little bit.
These are the main things you should check and consider while you are searching for the best vinyl fence. But checking every step is somehow difficult for everyone, we know that. As a consequence, I pick up some best vinyl fences that mostly meet the above requirements. So let's have a look at these fences. I hope you will get your one from these five.
Zippity Outdoor Products Manchester Semi-Permanent Vinyl Fence Kit
Are you searching for a vinyl fence that can be easily installed, re-installed and at the same time removed easily when necessary? Then I will say, I have the perfect one for you. Manchester Vinyl Fence. This is the perfect vinyl fence for you if you want to keep children and small pets.
Also, it needs little and sometimes no digging to install. What you need to do is simply inlay the added pointed stakes into your ground or if your ground is a little bit harder then try a cordless drill or tiny auger bit. So you can easily imagine how easy it is to install. And you will get a manual to make the installation more clearly to you.
When it comes to the strength, the Manchester Vinyl Fence is tremendous. It offers you 10 years warranty. This will not rot, deteriorate, or rust from the elements. What that means; it ensures the quality and strength of the fence and at the same time relieves you from the tension.
Maximum time, when you buy some high-quality product, you always concern about the beauty. This fence enhances the beauty of your yard. The timeless picket design, as well as classic look, will make your yard more attractive.
You surely want to spend more time with your family. But if you have to spend a lot of time in maintaining the fences the how can you spend time with your family? What I am trying to say, if your fence becomes dirty regularly then you have to spend much time to keep it clean. Manchester Vinyl Fence is made with the vinyl that is weather resistance. A simple garden hose spray is enough to keep this vinyl fence clean. Isn't it awesome? In addition, it needs no painting or staining. It itself looks beautiful.
So if you need a fence for your children or want a fence for your semi-permanent residential or a fence for your small pets then this one would be a perfect one for sure.
The good about the fence
The things need to improve

These are the top pic-up vinyl fences for you that you can choose for.
The Benefit Of Buying The Best Vinyl Fence
Are you not convinced? Well, let me tell you advantages of buying the vinyl fences.
When it comes to durability, no other fences can compete with vinyl fence. The vinyl fence is four times more flexible than wood and also five times more durable than wood. Vinyl is design in such a way that it lasts lifetime. Vinyl won't fade, chip, rust, rot, discolor, or infest with termites, as most wood fences generally do. And also it has UV protection that protects your fence from dangerous sunlight.
Low Maintenance
The best thing about the best vinyl fence is that there is no maintenance cost. When you use wood fence you have to repair it, paint it, stain it, seal it or replace it in every couple of year. It kills your valuable time. On the other hand, vinyl fence is virtually maintenance free. You do not need to paint it, repair it, seal it or stain it. What you need to is set up the fence and forget about it. When you see there is a little bit dirty in your fence just pick up your garden hose and simple spray it. That is enough to clean your fence and make it new once again.
Unlike other fences, vinyl fence is very much environment-friendly. The green building council of USA found that vinyl fence is more environment-friendly compare to other fences. In addition, the fence is recyclable. Not only that, vinyl fence is free from paint, lead, formaldehyde & VOCs and it is made from non-toxic components. So there is little chance for any kind of harmful toxic emission.
Great Value
Though, it seems a little bit costly when you first buy a vinyl fence but just think about it. If you buy a wood fence you need to paint or stain it to bring an aesthetic appeal. After one or two years it will fade away and you need to re-paint it. And you know, the high and harsh temperature can cause some serious damages to your wooden fence. So you need to repair it every year. In addition, wooden fence never lasts long. So you need to replace it within 5-10 years. That means overall, you need a lot of money. On contrary, as previously mentioned vinyl fence does not need any of those and the best vinyl fence lasts forever. So definitely, vinyl fence offers greater value than other fences.
A Wide Variety Of Color And Design
The vinyl fence offers Variety of colors and designs. Though white color is most popular you can choose whatever color you need and whatever design best suit to your yard. It is a great option. And also, if you want, you can paint it and make the color as you wish.
Fade Protection And Consistency Color
Painted or stained wooden fence will easily chip and peel. And also, it fades away very quickly. But the vinyl fence rules here. Vinyl fence is weather resistance and does not fade away. And the color lasts as long as the fence lasts.
Lifetime Warranty
Where other fences last highest 5-10 years this vinyl fence lasts long. And some company offers a lifetime warranty for the vinyl fence. So if you choose vinyl fence you will get a guaranty that you will not have to spend any money further for your fence.
These are the main benefits of buying the vinyl fence. The vinyl fence is getting so much popularity because it offers so many benefits relative to other fences.

Alessandro Advent Calendar 2017
The second calendar I had this year was sent to me by Slovenian retailer. This is Alessandro Advent Calendar 2017. I already had a calendar from this brand two years ago, you can check it here: Alessandro Christmas Calendar 2015, but I wasn't most impressed by it, because it had too many testers in bags.

According to the Bath Chronicle, a group of white teenagers allegedly chained and whipped a black classmate at a Bath, England, school as part of a "mock slave auction." Police are investigating the incident.
The school's administrators found themselves in hot water with lawmakers, anti-racism groups and parents after it was revealed that the school chose not to expell the white teenagers. Instead, all of the teens were allowed to return to school after a short suspension.
Tottenham Labour MP David Lammy tweeted that the alleged incident was a display of "vicious, nasty prejudice," noting that he hoped such racist attitudes had "died out in the UK by the mid 1980s."
One parent told the Chronicle that she is upset not only about the incident, but a lack of communication on the part of the school, and the school's response.
"There are so many rumors and the school has failed to communicate in any reasonable or sensible way with parents," she said. "It is particularly disappointing that no action has been taken within the school in the way of school assemblies etc to talk to pupils about racism and diversity/inclusion."

The International Workers' Memorial Day service at Adelaide's Pilgrim Uniting Church on Saturday morning will commemorate lives lost to work-related death.
Last year in Australia, there were 186 work-related deaths in 2017, and 40 so far in 2018, with thousands of others affected by injuries or work-related illness and disease.
SafeWork SA Executive Director Martyn Campbell said this annual service is an opportunity for the families, friends and colleagues left behind to share their experiences.
"It is important that we take this opportunity each year to remember the people who never returned home from work," Mr Campbell said.
"These are not just workers who have died. They are mums, dads, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters and loved ones.
"It is important that we also acknowledge those who have been injured or made unwell because of their work," he said.
International Workers' Memorial Day, marked annually on 28 April, is supported by the Government of South Australia, Pilgrim Uniting Church, SA Council of Churches, SA Unions, Asbestos Victims Association, Asbestos Diseases Society of SA and Voice of Industrial Death (VOID).
The non-denominational service will be held at 10am at the Pilgrim Uniting Church, 12 Flinders Street, Adelaide, and is hosted by VOID (Voice of Industrial Death). The service will feature a candle-lighting ceremony and the symbolic release of doves.
Anyone affected by a work-related death or significant trauma is welcome to attend the service and to contribute a personal item or photograph for the memorial display.

A Love of Very Tiny Tales
Why do they matter?
They're too hard to write, you say.
They're not, I argue back. And they matter because they're cool. Just listen to any episode of The Drabblecast and you'll get addicted to the Drabble of the Day.
What the foamy feck is a drabble?
It's a short story, boiled down to it's essence. Dialogue, plot, twist…all in one-hundred happy words. Drabbles were invented in good ol' England. Here's a bit of history, if you want to know more about their origins.
Short to write and easy to read. And while they are not easy to write, they're not that hard once you get the hang of it. I'm telling you all this because there will be other drabble-themed issues in the future.
This Halloween issue has some pretty damn kick-ass drabbles. My favorite one appears first: Daniel Ritter's "Three Jack-O-Lanterns." It's the epitome of a Halloween drabble and was exactly what I was looking for, spot on, for this issue. Great job, Daniel! The rest appear in random order, but Larry Kollar's "Hunted" also struck a chord with me.
I'll let you get to reading now. But before I go, I mentioned The Drabblecast and other drabble-themed issues. If you want a clue to what I'm thinking of, give Drabblecase Episode 119 a listen…especially a story by Jake Bible called "The Seven Deadly Drabbles." I'm thinking about doing something along those lines very soon.
Now…let's read some scary drabbles.
Happy Halloween!

While enjoying friendships with people in our new thought community, I have observed the word ego being used in a way that speaks about fear, self-centeredness, and selfishness. The ego is considered to be flawed in one way or another by many people. I usually laugh when I hear someone speak of ego as if it is the new "devil." I hear many speak of ego and our authentic self. Our authentic self is considered to have a divine nature while the ego is viewed as defective. This type of thinking is grounded in our judgment of what is good and what is bad.
The word ego is Latin for I. Awareness that I exist creates a reference to myself, or I (ego). Our ego began to get a bad reputation with the definitions develop for psychoanalysis. We began to see ego as the part of self-awareness that is overly concerned with my needs and my survival.
Going further, spiritual teachers began to teach us that if we are not acting on behalf of the greater good, we are acting out of our flawed ego. Often times the word ego is equal to the concept of the "small self" in Eastern religion. This concept identifies the small self as the part of the mind that keeps us separate from our oneness.
Joshua teaches that ego is a part of the whole self and it serves a function that is perfectly designed. Joshua encourages us to integrate our whole self as he urges us to honor the role ego plays for the purpose of a lifetime. From Joshua's point of view, the ego is our face to the world. Ego is designed to project my beliefs into the world.
The ego is assigned with gathering information from the world, which we believe is outside of ourselves, and making this information available for internal processing. Then, after processing gathered information internally, our beliefs about who we are is fed to our ego and then projected into the world. The ego did not select our beliefs, yet it projects our beliefs.
Our innate drive to survive is not the role of the ego. Joshua taught me to be aware that when people say their ego is fighting to be right, or survive, what they are really speaking of is their natural tendency to want to prove what they believe. Proving that my beliefs are right is a function played out by the ego when we BELIEVE it is important to be right.
The ego did not select my beliefs. The ego did not decide to act selfishly. The ego acts self-important if I believe I am important. Ego cannot act superior unless I believe I am superior. Do you hear my point? Ego does not control my beliefs. That is not the role of ego. We continue our belief in separation by acting as if ego is separate.
We split ourselves apart by talking about an ego-self and an authentic self. There is only one self. To acknowledge ego is to acknowledge self-awareness, not self-centeredness. I am aware that I exist. Self-awareness is a perfect function of being a human. Self-awareness is not a defect.
Let's go back to the definition that ego is the Latin word for I and release the training that ego is a word for acting self-involved, self-centered, selfish, self-important, and so on. We have attached parts of shadow to the word ego so that we want to shun, banish, control, or conquer it. This belief system feeds internal conflict. We will not discover peace on earth until we end the war within. Remember, be the change we want to see. Make peace within.
Intention of integration: As the Golden Age unfolds I practice unity within my whole being. I am at peace with my whole self. I recognize that I project a face to the world based on chosen labels and ideas. This is a projection of who I am. I maintain the awareness that I am more than my projection and more than my beliefs.
I gracefully accept that my face to the world gathers information for my whole self as I play my role of a lifetime. Within my whole self I decide what I believe and then I project this image outward. I am at peace with this process. I release thoughts of separating my image and my authentic self, for there is only one being here. I am one with All That Is.

Would you like to work with us?
Talk to Iain Scott to get a picture of how we could work together.
The House Nurseries provide flexible daycare, nurseries and a pre-school for children aged from one to five. They approached us to develop their website and branding after forming a new company. They had two nurseries that they wanted to brand and a potential third that they wanted to include in the concept.
We visited their nurseries to get a good feel for the environment and how the children interact within it. When we saw the children playing, it felt natural that their brand needed to portray a mixture of learning, growing, excitement and intrigue.
We merged a classic feel with something modern to get the right balance for their audience and location. This was achieved through the use of traditional typography in a classic French blue, dovetailed with a contemporary Illustration which subtly reflects the evolution of a child. The identity also shows a small child being intrigued by a small flower, which is a nod to their original brand which was a flower.
The client's comments really embody the result:
"We are delighted with the branding and think it works perfectly for us! We are really pleased, thank you so much."
Anna Wakeham, Owner

Title: Les Miserables
Author: Victor Hugo, Stacy King, SunNeko Lee, Crystal S. Chan
Genre: Graphic Novel, Manga
Publisher: UDON Entertainment
Source: NetGalley
Release Date: September 17, 2014
Rating: ★★★★★
Goodreads Synopsis:
Adapted for stage and screen, loved by millions, Victor Hugo's classic novel of love and tragedy set in 19th century France is reborn in this fantastic new manga edition!
Gorgeous and expressive art brigns to life the unforgettable stories of Jean Valjean, Inspector Javert, and the tragic Fantine in this epic adaptation of Les Misérables!
I have never read the original Les Miserables or watched the movie, so this was the first time I heard the story. I really liked it.
There was lots of tension in the story that I wasn't expecting. There were also some mature themes, such as child abuse and prostitution. I always thought it was just a sad story, but the tense twists were very good.
I liked the art in this graphic novel too. It follows the same design of the other Manga Classics. Each of the characters were distinctly drawn. I loved the way Cosette looked. She was so adorable!
I really enjoyed this graphic novel. Now I want to read the original book!

Why Run for Governor?
Dr. Topol: You go from this near year-and-a-half appointment to CMS, and shortly after that you say, "I'm going to run for governor." What was your thinking there? Hadn't you had enough of the politics inside the Beltway?
Dr. Berwick: What I came to see more than I'd ever seen before was the potential of good government, soundly led government, invested in the moral imperatives of a nation. Focused on the needs of real people, government can do a lot of good. I learned that you can't do it alone.
One of the most exciting things about CMS for me was partnering; learning; reaching out to the hospital community, the doctors, and patient rights groups; and saying, "Let's do this together and really figure out where the common ground would be." I couldn't do that with a vicious opponent. They're more interested in conversation, so that's fine. They're there. They'll be there.
I see the rule of progressive government and good partnership. It can do things nobody else can. Especially for me, it's around what Hubert Humphrey called the moral test of government.
Hubert Humphrey said the moral test of government is how it treats people in the dawn of life (children); how it treats people in the twilight of life (the aged); and how it treats people in the shadows of life (the sick, the needy, and the disabled). That's my patient population for years. That's what I care about. And boy, we cannot meet the moral test without government, and government needs to be trusted in order to be effective.
You see Washington in trouble. It's stuck, angry, and contentious. And here, back in Massachusetts, this state made healthcare a human right in 2006, 5 years before the ACA. It's very progressive, including the Energy Policy, and our schools are really improving. The people have come together. There's bipartisan work here that I think others should envy.
I've been out of CMS now almost 2 years, so it wasn't a rapid decision to run for governor. But I think for me, at this stage in my life, being able to contribute in the public policy arena and make a case for compassion and a focus on needs, service, and justice -- I want to do that.
Dr. Topol: You alluded to a lot of momentum here in Massachusetts. Can you take it to another level? Where do you see it going? It isn't just healthcare, right?
Dr. Berwick: No. I wouldn't do this if I were only interested in healthcare. I'm interested in community, in working together -- and that means small communities, not just statewide.
I've been thinking more and more about what I call thriving or flourishing, or being the kind of community we want to be. That's not healthcare alone. Healthcare's got to be right, but everything triangulates on it. It's a system. Schools matter, roads matter, talent matters, the air matters, the water matters, and one of the wonderful things I think about is that if I get to be governor, I can work at that systemic level.
Dr. Topol: Are there any precedents of physicians who have been governors?
Dr. Berwick: Right now, we have a physician governor in Oregon, John Kitzhaber, who is in his third term. John's a good friend.
Dr. Topol: That's been a very progressive state as well.
Dr. Berwick: He's done a great job. He's done it on a broader platform than just healthcare, although now he's leading some pretty exciting healthcare changes there around what they call CCOs -- Coordinated Care Organizations. I think it's great.
I've talked to him about being governor. He absolutely loves it. He had no hesitation.
Dr. Topol: We really are grateful to have had you join us for this One-on-One.
Dr. Berwick: Thank you very much.

The Council agreed its position (partial general approach) on the regulation on Horizon Europe. Horizon Europe is the next framework programme on research and innovation for the years 2021 to 2027.
Today's agreement does not cover the budgetary aspects of the draft regulation, given that the final amounts will depend on the agreement reached on the next Multiannual Financial Framework. A number of other issues of a horizontal nature have also been set aside pending progress in related files (e.g. InvestEU, Structural Funds). Today's agreement on the Council's position is an important step towards the adoption of the regulation together with the European Parliament.
The programme merges two regulations s (Framework Programme and rules for participation and dissemination) into a single legal act and includes a number of improvements by way of simplification and increased openness.
The regulation lays down the objectives of the programme, and will include the budget for the period 2021–2027, the ways in which the programme is funded and the rules on how the funding is provided. It is the Union's flagship programme to support R&I from concept to market uptake, and complements national and regional funding.
The programme will be based on three complementary and interconnected pillars. The first pillar (Excellent science) supports excellent basic science. It strengthens the Union's scientific leadership and will develop high-quality knowledge and skills. The second pillar (Global challenges and European industrial competitiveness) supports research which addresses societal challenges and industrial technologies in areas such as health, security, digital and key enabling technologies, climate, energy, mobility, food and natural resources. Alongside these areas, a limited number of research missions and partnerships will be introduced. Any given mission (e.g. zero carbon emission cities) will contain a portfolio of research activities. The third pillar (Innovative Europe) focuses on scaling up breakthrough and disruptive innovation by establishing a European Innovation Council. The latter will offer a one-stop-shop for high-potential innovators. In addition to the three pillars, a horizontal section will improve the programme's delivery for widening participation and strengthening the European Research Area and includes measures to support member states in making the most of their national research and innovation potential.

Sponsorship for Change
When a parent has resources, they have options. When they do not, they can feel trapped. Parents with resources make decisions from a place of confidence vs. helplessness. Parents with resources are less likely to be: manipulated, bullied, coerced, dismissed, pressured, or discriminated against. Parents across this country are searching for answers on how to keep their children safe and protected and how to help their children heal from damage they believe their child may have suffered at the hands of those they trusted to guide them, mainstream medicine. Those answers can many times only be found outside of mainstream medicine and only when resources are available for them to do so.
The ability to access care options outside of mainstream medicine often requires resources that are not provided within the framework of traditional health insurance. This overwhelmingly effects the poor and children from low income families who simply cannot afford to look for other care options when…
- mainstream medicine has failed to provide answers for a health issue that a child is suffering from .
- mainstream medicine's "answers" come in the form of a band-aid approach to symptom control in the form of drugs with damaging side effects.
- mainstream medicine doctors employ pressure tactics and discrimination against parents who are unsure of whether or not they wish to subject their children to the recommendations of the CDC Childhood Immunization Schedule.
The medical freedom movement is sounding the alarm and excellent information abounds. Parents are listening. They are wanting to heed the warnings as it pertains to the health and well being of their children. For those with financial resources, it is easy. For those without resources, it is not. Sponsorship is extending a helping hand to those families who are starting to wake up and listen but feel lost without the financial resources to begin finding another way. Sponsorship says, "We know this is hard, let us help you get started down this new road". It connects those with resources in the medical freedom community with those who need them desperately. Sponsorship can make an incredibly impactful difference in the health of children, giving parents much needed time to learn, connect into a new like minded and supportive community, and experience the benefits of integrative and holistic care for a season without it being a financial burden that they would otherwise be unable to bear.
Sponsorship can help turn the tide of vaccine injury for the children of parents who desperately want medical freedom of choice. Many times a parent's sense of helplessness to seek care elsewhere due to lack of resources will result in them succumbing to the pressure of their pediatricians coercive tactics regarding childhood vaccinations making their children vulnerable to injury. Sponsorship gives parents the ability to access care for their children that will prevent injury, that can only be found in the safety of practices that uphold informed consent as a standard of care. And for those children struggling with a health crisis, care that can bring healing, hope, and a better quality of life that can only be found in practices that can find the root cause and acknowledge the incredible power of the body to heal.
