The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Dreams
The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dreams by Anna Fornari, Emilio Rombaldini, Lynn Pickett
Book Review
Why I bought this book
This was actually a very interesting charity shop find. I very often go prop rummaging in charity shops for my various photo-shoots and little ideas that I want to depict. So it was on one of those trips that I came across this book. It was pre-loved and for some reason it just stood out at me from the shelf.
I have always been interested in dreams and the meanings behind dreams. I was also curious about developing first the ability to remember dreams and then to move on to having lucid dreams. So when I saw this it was just like a lightbulb went off in my head. I had to have it. Plus it was next to nothing pricewise so that helped too.
What I liked
It is laid out so that there are keywords of items you have dreamt of. And that is helpful say if you have dreamt of an object such as a hand, or a lily, or some other tangible object. It also has actions or activities, so if you dreamt you were flying, or swimming in water you can just look up any number of keywords associated with it. It even has emotions or sensations, so if you felt sad, or you felt fear, or cold, you can just look it up and you will be bound to see something there.
Not just that though, it is laid out quite clearly with images which are handy if you like the visuals. This book is from 1991 though, so don't expect them to be modern and snazzy. But I think what the authors have on point in this book is the meanings behind dreams. And that is timeless.
What I didn't like
Not much really. As I said it is an old book, so I can imagine there are some things that I haven't thought about that are not included in the book. But most of the dreams I have remembered I have found a reference to somewhere in the book. Awesome!

Jen thought it couldn't be done. She thought her daughter was destined to always have conflict with others because she couldn't control her emotions. And at home? Wow, it was even worse.
When things didn't go her way, watch out!
There was yelling, screaming, refusal, and even some hitting. Jen stuck in there and tried lots of things. She truly wants what is best for her daughter and she so desperately wanted to help her daughter have a happy life.
She also knew that she had to get on top of this now! Learning new ways of coping becomes harder as your child gets older. Family and friends had their doubts but kudos for Jen; she never gave up on her daughter. She stayed strong and made coping skills fun.
This is how…
Coping Skills That Work!
A fun way to engage your kids in using their coping skills is to create a coping box. Take a simple shoe box and decorate it WITH your kid. Jen's daughter loves unicorns so she made a unicorn box. Very cute! My son loves monster trucks; that is what we decorate everything with 🙂
Allow your child to decide what they want to decorate it with. Some ideas include pictures, glitter, stickers, or whatever else your child has an interest in! Totally fun!
Time Proven Coping Skills
Time and again I have found these 10 coping skills to help kids who are struggling with their emotions and how to express themselves – even when in the midst of a meltdowns or tantrum.
Jen found that happy pictures, hugs, and visuals work best with her daughter.
You'll have to decide for yourself what will work best for your family and keep in mind that these interventions work the very best when they are used at the first sign of your child becoming upset. If we wait until a full blown tantrum is underway, it will be more difficult to find success.
- Happy pictures. What makes your child smile? For mine it is monster trucks and animals. Find pictures that make your child feel happy inside and put them in the coping box. Your child can look at them whenever they feel upset or you start to see them escalating.
- Drawing supplies and fidgets. Some kids love to draw. When they are becoming upset, tap into this interest and guide them to draw their thoughts and emotions. This will give you some insight into how they are feeling and they will be able to start calming down in the process. Nice! As far as fidgets go…kids love stress balls, gooey items, and anything else they can play with in their hands. Fidgets work as a great redirection tool!
- Exercise. Research has proven that those that exercise 5 out of 7 days a week have a much better time handing their emotions. Exercise also helps to improve symptoms of anxiety and attention concerns. I think this tool is my all-time favorite! Schedule in outside play and exercise for your child daily! Hint: this works great for adults too so get out there with your kids 🙂
- Time. ~One minute per age of your child~ Many have said that time heals all. In this case, I believe that time gives clarity. I base this on my own experience as a parent because it is kind of like a time out for both of you. It gives you time to process as it does your child to find calmness again. Direct your child to sit in the designated time out spot and follow up with a plan for future behavior. Always end with an "I love you" and a hug. It truly is a powerful tool.
- Positive Self-Talk. Talking ourselves through a situation is extremely empowering. Taking our destiny into our own hands through our thoughts is a long-lasting coping skill that will help us succeed to greatness! Teach your child helpful phrases that they can use when upset. Some examples include, "I know I will be ok", "I will use my coping box", "I can ask for help", "Breathe". Work with them to repeat their phrase over and over again until they feel better. It seems simple, but trust me, it works!
- Redirection. Redirecting our children works wonders when we see that they are becoming upset. Showing them something new, changing the subject, and/or telling them a "secret" works really well in getting them to think of something besides what is currently upsetting them. This is a super preventative tool.
- Empathy. Empathize with how your child feels. It helps them to feel validated and quickly calms them knowing that you understand and are on their side.
- Visuals. Visuals are huge! This is especially true with younger children and those struggling to follow your directions when spoken to. We know that when we try to use our words during heightened emotional states, we are usually unsuccessful. Use pictures and words on flash cards to increase coping success. Examples include pictures of time out, stretching, exercising, deep breathing, or anything else that is simple to convey and will help your child cope. Also try hand signals such as pointing to items or places that will be calming.
- Hugs. Hugs work so well because there is no verbal battle. Make sure your hug is super firm because it will make your child feel secure and lets them know that you are keeping them safe while they let their emotions out. For some parents, this is the only tool that works for them consistently. Give it a try!
- Go somewhere else. Change your child's environment in order to remove the trigger or stimulating factor. Simply excuse yourself and take your child with you. Do this while you remain calm! This means that you will not give a tantrum, an outburst, or any negative behavior attention.
Back to the box
Remember that awesome unicorn coping box that Jen and her daughter created together? Well, they filled that box with useful coping tools – like the ones listed above. Now it's time to decide what you and your child will fill theirs with! Always talk with your child about their coping choices and let them have some say in what coping skills they will use.
That said, make sure the coping box contains items that will help your child to feel calm and to think happy thoughts. Some parents find it helpful to paste coping skill options to the lid to remind their child of the steps to take when feeling upset. Use pictures if needed to help your child remember their options.
Whatever You Do…
Don't give in to your child's demands. Not only does this create a dangerous pattern of your child using poor behavior in the future to get what they want (I have seen this happen way too often); but it also creates confusion for them. Confusion because they look to us as their parents to set boundaries. When we waiver from this they tend to feel unsettled in knowing what choices to make. Unfortunately, this commonly ends in more tantrums as they try to sort out these uncomfortable feelings. Consistently reinforce your expectations and stay true to your plan. Believe me, it will pay off!
How to Help Your Child Cope During a Tantrum
This is the question that everyone asks. Before we get to addressing that topic directly, let take a short detour so we can all understand tantrums just a bit better.
When a child has a tantrum, it may be a sign of several possibilities. Your child may be experiencing strong feelings such as frustration, anger, fear, dislike, anxiety, etc. Another possibility is that your child may not want to complete a task and is trying to escape the activity by using a tantrum. Whatever the case may be, do your best to try to uncover the true need or want behind the tantrum so that your child can be supported to the greatest extent possible with coping skills for each situation. I sometimes had to remind myself of this fact when my children were melting down. There is always a trigger or reason behind their behavior. I had to put my detective hat on to discover what it was.
Truly, when all is said and done, the tantrum should not have helped to solve your child's problem. It should be you combined with their coping and problem-solving skills that help them achieve their desired outcome.
If your child's tantrum is rewarded by getting their wants met, be assured that tantruming WILL continue into the future. That is because the tantrum got your child what they were initially after. The tantrum wore you down enough and you gave in. This cycle will go on as long as you allow it. Put a stop to it today!
Think long term. It isn't enough to get the tantrum behavior to stop just for the moment, we need to think about long-term learning and coping. That way, we won't have a grown child who tantrums when things aren't going their way. Stay calm and think long term.
Catch it Early!
When your children are experiencing strong feelings, try your best to redirect them by pointing out all of the positives before unacceptable behavior occurs. This is one way that will help to encourage your child to see that they can handle their feelings. It also works to build confidence and independence. It's a win-win!
Now you can choose your very own coping skills to use at home by snagging a copy of 20 amazing colored coping cards – suitable to all ages!! They can be printed for you and your child to decide which coping skills will work best. Just message me and I'll send to you! Easy – peasy!
Together, practice and talk about how you feel after using the skills you choose. Since these cards travel so well, they can be placed in backpacks, in cars, in lockers at school, or anywhere else they may be needed. Having these on-the-spot coping skills to use can be a lifesaver in so many different situations!

Mayor Kevin Faulconer said Tuesday he hopes President Donald Trump's visit to the region will help him see how a cross-border exchange of goods and ideas and a healthy relationship with Mexico have made San Diego stronger.
Support Times of San Diego's growth
with a small monthly contribution
The two Republicans are not scheduled to meet during Trump's first visit to California as president, which will be highlighted by a visit to the border wall prototypes in Otay Mesa.
Faulconer said he hopes Trump looks beyond the wall to see what a productive relationship with Mexico can bring to the United States.
"San Diego is living proof that a healthy economy, low unemployment rate and strong international ties are not mutually exclusive," Faulconer said. "Free trade works for San Diego and it works for our country."
Faulconer has championed the North American Free Trade Agreement at the national level, including at the U.S. Conference of Mayors' meeting in January.
More than 16 percent of California's exports go to Mexico, making the country the Golden State's number one trading partner, according to UC San Diego's Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies.
Much of it passes through San Diego border crossings, which also process a large number of people traveling between the two countries. Some 33 million people crossed at San Ysidro in 2015, making it the busiest border crossing in the western hemisphere, according to federal data.
"San Diego's international ports of entry are an economic engine that thousands of businesses and residents rely upon. From life sciences to manufacturing, San Diego's economy depends on smart federal policies that encourage the cross-border exchange of goods and ideas," Faulconer said. "I encourage the president to look at the San Diego model as he renegotiates NAFTA and prioritizes border investments."

HCM CITY (VNS)— Hoang Quan Real Estate Corporation recently signed an agreement with BIDV to provide bank guarantees for buyers of its three social housing projects.
These projects were HQC Plaza in HCM City, HQC Hoc Mon in HCM City and HQC Nha Trang in the central Khanh Hoa Province, the first social housing projects in the country to obtain bank guarantees for future property purchases.
The revised Law on Real Estate Business, which went into effect at the start of July, made bank guarantees compulsory for selling or renting the houses that will be built in the future.

Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) tubes
The heart of the ring modulator consists of what's called a vacuum fluorescent display tube. These glass tubes are used as displays in VCRs, tape decks, cd players, and microwave ovens, to name just a few.
Internal components of a typical VFD
These displays are actually a bunch of tiny triode tubes packaged together.
In the front of the display is a self-heating cathode consisting of thin wires
strung horizontally across the tube. Behind these are the grids, constructed of
an extremely fine mesh that allows light to pass right through. In the back are
the anodes, shaped in the desired display patterns and coated with a fluorescent
paint, similar to the coating inside the face of a TV tube. In normal operation,
electrons emitted from the cathode pass through the grids and strike the
fluorescent anodes, causing them to glow.
An interesting characteristic of VFDs is the mechanical resonance produced by the vibration of their cathode wires. If you hold one of these displays up to your ear and tap it, you will hear a ringing sound as the wires vibrate, much like the strings of a guitar. Different displays have different natural resonances, so each different type sounds unique. If we excite these wires with an audio signal, their ringing resonance will be "modulated" on to that signal, therefore we have a type of "ring modulator". ;-)
The basic VFD ring modulator
The cathode resistance of a typical VFD just happens to be in the range of about 4 - 20 ohms, a reasonable match for almost any amplifier. Connecting to the cathode is straightforward, as it is usually wired to the two outside pins of the display. This can be easily verified with an ohm meter. If an audio signal from an amplifier is connected across the cathode and a strong magnet positioned against the display, the cathode wires can be made to vibrate in a similar way to the wires vibrating the cone of a speaker. In fact, if you look closely, the vibration of the cathode wires is clearly visible! A small microphone element held against the display picks up the sound of these vibrations, and the whole assembly is then placed in a soundproof box to minimise crosstalk.
Basic ring modulator wiring
A VFD ring modulator can be easily wired up using common audio components. More complex systems are only limited by one's imagination!
Multi-display modulator
This unit consists of six different VFD tubes wired together and sandwiched between some large woofer magnet rings. Using a variety of different displays and mixing their outputs together results in a wider, more interesting range of output sounds.
It's interesting to note that this entire assembly was built from 100% salvaged components. Magnets from old woofers, the bigger and stronger the better, displays from dead VCRs, CD players, etc, and electret condensor microphones from old portable tape units.
Here are some sound samples of the ring modulator in operation. Input is amplified square wave.
rm1.wav (129K)
rm2.wav (216K)
rm3.wav (129K)
An interesting effect can be obtained by increasing the signal level into the cathode until the wires begin to heat up significantly, causing them to stretch and the output frequency to drop!
rm4.wav (118K)
James Schidlowsky has composed some interesting drones using his own VFD modulator, an excerpt can be found here.

#BlackLivesMatter 2017?
#BlackLivesMatter 2017?
Will this be a vision of #BlackLivesMatter in 2017? Will we be seeing well-armed, half-naked thugs running around the broken, smoking ruins of their ghettos hunting for Whites to assault, rape, and/or murder in the coming year? Given their escalating violence and degenerating sense, I think this is an important question.
Think about it. Americans, stupidity addicted to "tolerance," continually refuse to take reasonable measures to curb the Blacks' excesses and protect the American population at large, so what's to stop #BlackLivesMatter from spreading their insurrection and terrorism across America? They do, after all, hate us and desire to bring "Black America" to the forefront and displace White America.
Honestly, I can see no reason why 2017 won't be a year of Black rebellion, insurrection, and racial terrorism. I can't do so because one can't apply reason to a thing that is not based upon reason.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry 1900-1944
Published on November 30, 2012
July 31, 1944, 08: 45. The Lightning F-5B #223 takes off from Bastia Borgo, Corsica on a reconnaissance mission east of Lyon. At 14:30 the airplane, which by then would have run out of fuel, had not returned to base. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry had, somewhere between the sky and the sea, met the death of "fire and ice," that the hero of his Fighter Pilot so keenly desired. "Saint-Ex" may have been shot down in mid-day near Saint-Raphael by Lieutenant Heichele's Focke-Wulf 190 D-9. Saint-Exupéry was a pilot unlike any other. A gifted writer, who also pioneered air mail, Saint-Exupéry recorded this history in Night Flight and Southern Mail. When the War broke out, he joined the most dangerous reconnaissance unit, 2/33. Flying behind enemy lines, this unit lost 17 of its 23 planes. Saint Exupéry's best known work is the enchanting story, The Little Prince. Published during the War, the poetic beauty of its prose made The Little Prince an immediate classic. In 1941, Saint-Exupéry went to New York to persuade the United States to come to France's aid. When the United States took up arms to fight for liberty in Europe, Saint-Exupéry fought alongside the Americans, just as his ancestor Georges Alexandre Césarée de Saint-Exupéry (author of War Notebooks) had when he joined his compatriot La Fayette, in America's fight for independence.

Okay… way back when I posted about my orchids and unfortunately the new growth on one died and the other orchid hadn't changed in the least! Well…. I started keeping this orchid moister – watering it a few times a week. This means putting it in the sink and running water all over the bark and letting it sit and drain for a while.
WELL …. this one has finally BLOOMED !!! I'm really excited!
Now as a reminder… here is my orchid picture from an earlier post –

trekking with Sapa Sisters
when my two friends and I started researching things to do in Vietnam, trekking through Sapa was high on our list. there are a lot of options out there. different lengths and difficulties of hikes, with or without homestay. and they all vary in price. but once we discovered the Sapa Sisters company and read their story, we knew that we couldn't book with anyone else.
life for women living in the tribes of this area is not easy. it is a male-centric culture where girls are discouraged from education, pressured to stay in abusive or unhappy marriages, and sometimes even sold into human trafficking. Sapa Sisters is a company owned and operated by all women from the H'mong tribe, and not only pays their guides fair wages but offers benefits like parental leave and health care. they have empowered these women to better their lives and enabled many of them to buy property, build homes, and save for their children's futures. you can read more about their company and guides on their website. [our guide, Zao, has one of the more incredible stories.]
this post is going to be lengthy. but for me, the experience was about more than just the actual trek.
we decided to do a 2 day journey with an overnight homestay. we arrived at the office and were introduced to Zao, who would be our guide. she explained that the longer trek option might be a bit slippery due to recent rains, but gave us the choice of which trail to take. my attitude for this adventure was that if we were here to trek then we would trek. so we took the long route.
our trail wrapped around and down the side of a valley. and it was definitely slippery. by the time we reached the bottom and had to walk through a knee-deep river, we were glad to just wash the mud away. we passed rice paddies and small wooden homes, crossed streams by hopping on rocks and detoured around grazing buffalo. eventually we came to a small village for lunch.
after we ate and chugged about 3 liters of water each, Zao asked again which way we wanted to take: the short path along the road, or the long way over the mountain? we chose the long route again. along our climb, we stopped to rest by sitting on the porch of a village house. suddenly Zao looked at us and said "I was born in this house. do you want to come inside?" we went in, not knowing what to expect.
the walls were wooden planks and the floor was hard-packed earth. we entered a large room and Zao pulled out some tiny plastic stools for us to rest on. she switched on a dim overhead light and turned on a small fan. in the corner was an old television, maybe from the 1960's. through the doorway to the next room we could see a cookfire dug into the floor, and corn was hanging from the rafters above to dry. a stray puppy from outside trotted towards us for a minute, then decided we weren't worth the effort and curled back up to sleep on the porch.
I don't know how else to explain what it was like to sit in that house with Zao: those were some of the most special and humbling five minutes of my life.
we continued on and arrived at our homestay for the evening. our host welcomed us with fresh cut fries covered in chunks of garlic and chili powder. we showered and met the other Sapa Sisters patrons who were staying the night with us - one French woman who was studying medicine in Saigon, and an American working for the Atlanta CDC. our host cooked us an incredible spread [complete with allergy-friendly dishes for me] and despite the howls from the cantankerous old cat that lived in the house, we all went to bed early. it might have had something to do with hiking 20 kilometers that day.
the next morning there was breakfast and another choice of trails: the short way, or up and over the mountain? we chose the mountain again. after climbing almost straight up for an hour, we were rewarded with the best views of our entire trek.
by the time we made it back down, we were starving, sweating, and exhausted. for a change: we chose the shorter route to get to our lunch. after a wild motorbike ride back to Sapa [during which my driver had to stop due to a buffalo crossing] we arrived at our hotel and said goodbye to Zao. a few hours and, thankfully, a shower later we left Sapa and boarded the night train back to Hanoi.
so often when we travel, it feels like we are just passing though. I'd love to be a more conscious traveler who gives back directly to the people of the communities I visit. have you found any other companies like this around the world, or given back in another way on your travels? if you make your way to Vietnam I would highly, highly recommend an experience with the Sapa Sisters - and not just for the views.

I've made a one layer card. First I stamped the large butterfly. I also stamped it on a post-it note, cut it out and placed it on the butterfly I had stamped on the card. Then I stamped the butterfly panel three times as background. For those of you who aren't familiar with this technique, it's called masking.
I've colored the stamped images with three shades of yellow/orange, and then filled in all the black on the large butterfly with black Sakura Glaze gel roller pen to make it pop out a bit.
I used CAS(E) this Sketch #229 for the layout of my card:
I also submit my card to the following challenges:
Such gorgeousness! So glad I got to see your masterpiece showcased at the Cardz 4 Galz Challenge. Thanks for joining in with your lovely artwork. Hope to see more of your pretty creations in our future challenge themes! Please check back to see if you have won a badge. Sending you wishes for a wonderful day!

ANACRONTABSection: Anacron Users' Manual (5)
Updated: 2009-08-17
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME/etc/anacrontab - configuration file for anacron
DESCRIPTIONThe file /etc/anacrontab describes the jobs controlled by anacron(8). Its lines can be of three kinds: job-description lines, environment assignments, or empty lines.
Job-description lines are of one of these two forms:
period delay job-identifier command
@period_name delay job-identify command
The period is specified in days, the delay in minutes. If the RANDOM_DELAY environment variable is set, then a random value between 0 and RANDOM_DELAY minutes will be added to the start up delay of the jobs. For example a RANDOM_DELAY set to 12 would therefore add, randomly, between 0 and 12 minutes to the user defined delay. The job-identifier can contain any non-blank character, except slashes. It is used to identify the job in Anacron messages, and as the name for the job's timestamp file. The command can be any shell command. The fields can be seperated by blank spaces or tabs. The period_name can be set to daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or annualy. This will ensure jobs are run once a week, month or year no matter the number of days in this period.
Environment assignment lines are of the form:
Spaces around VAR are removed. No spaces around VALUE are allowed (unless you want them to be part of the value). The assignment takes effect from the next line to the end of the file, or to the next assignment of the same variable. The enviroment variable START_HOURS_RANGE sets the time frame, when the job could started.
Empty lines are either blank lines, line containing white-space only, or lines with white-space followed by a '#' followed by an arbitrary comment.
You can continue a line onto the next line by ending it with a '\'.
In case there is need for having anacron off, then it can be done by adding cron job 0anacron into /etc/cron.hourly/jobs.deny which is part of crontabs(4).
EXAMPLEThis example shows how to set up the behaviour similar to previous setting in /etc/crontab which will start all regular jobs only between 6:00 and 8:00. There is added RANDOM_DELAY which will be maximally 30 minutes. Jobs will be running in queue. After one finish, then next will start.
# environment variables SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root RANDOM_DELAY=30 # Anacron jobs will start between 6 and 8 o'clock. START_HOURS_RANGE=6-8 # delay will be 5 minutes + RANDOM_DELAY for cron.daily 1 0 cron.daily nice run-parts /etc/cron.daily 7 0 cron.weekly nice run-parts /etc/cron.weekly @monthly 0 cron.monthly nice run-parts /etc/cron.monthly

Khloe Kardashian Says She's 'So Blessed to Be Able to Appreciate Another's Culture' Amid Stirring Controversy
It's not a Kardashian vacation without some drama.
The famous family is in Cuba only months after a travel ban to the country was lifted, and Khloe Kardashian already caused a bit of controversy after she Instagrammed a photo of herself posing in front of a wall reading "Fidel," appearing to reference Cuba's former dictator, Fidel Castro.
PHOTOS: The Kardashians Take Cuba! Family Unites for Vacation Days After Met Gala Madness
Not surprisingly, plenty of people took issue with the post.
"As a Cuban American, I am appalled that you're standing beneath the name of one of the cruelest and most hated dictators to human mankind. This is inconsiderate and disrespectful," one user wrote.
"What an insult. It's disrespectful to all the people who are living in the U.S. because of that name you are proudly standing beneath," another user commented. "Culture appreciation is one thing, lauding a murderous dictator is another."
Of course, Khloe also had her fair share of defenders.
"Don't think she meant anything negative by it," one user wrote. "Khloe is probably the most down to earth, caring person out of all of the Kardashians."
While the 31-year-old reality star hasn't addressed the negative reaction directly, she later wrote about how the trip has led her to "appreciate another's culture."
"With everyday, my goal is to expand my mind," Khloe wrote on Instagram. "Now, it has been filled with new memories and knowledge of culture, food, traditions, daily life.... It will never go back to yesterday's dimensions! I'm so blessed to be able to appreciate another's culture. God is GREAT! Thank you for my opportunities."
The Kardashian clan is rumored to be filming scenes in Cuba for the upcoming 13th season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Khloe and her older sisters, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, as well as her best friend, Malika Haqq, definitely look to be enjoying themselves in Havana, where they took a group selfie puffing on cigars.

Meanwhile, the drama is only heating up on this season of their long-running reality series. In a sneak peek released on Wednesday, Caitlyn Jenner revealed that she hit a rough patch with Khloe. Khloe has been open in the past about having issues with Caitlyn since her transition.
"She hasn't been talking to me lately," Caitlyn explained to Kim, confirming the two had gotten into a feud.
"Khloe and Caitlyn are kind of on the outs," Kim later told the cameras in a solo interview.

Many people today are looking for ways to enhance the beauty of their homes. One way is to take an ordinary glass window pane from your front door and turn it into a work of art. It takes some patience, but the end product will be well worth your time and effort. Here is how you can etch a glass window
Remove the window pane from the door and place it on a table. Assemble your tracing paper, transfer paper, pre cut stencil or one of your own designs.
Take the window cleaner and clean the window pane of all dirt, dust or smudges that may be on the window.
Place the transfer paper face down over the paper backing of the adhesive shelving. Tape the pattern on top and trace the shaded areas into the backing. Cut the stencil through all the layers of the adhesive with the craft knife.
Tape the pattern onto the window pane, leave a border of the vinyl around the outer edges. Peel off the paper backing of the cut stencil and smooth the stencil onto the window pane.
Assure that you have put on your long sleeved shirt, gloves and protective goggles before you apply the Armour Etch Glass Etching Cream. Follow the manufacturer's directions. Allow the cream to dry for at least five to ten minutes. After the cream has dried completely wash off all traces of the cream with water and remove the stencil.
Allow the pane to dry before replacing it in the door.
You have now created your own work of art and made your front door look beautiful. And remember that you did this all by yourself for under twenty dollars
Assure that you are wearing protective clothing while working with the Etch cream. Better safe than sorry.

Emergency Eye Injury Treatment
Hyphema in the Eye
About the Author
Melissa Flagg is an ophthalmic technician and has been examining patients on a daily basis for over 20 years.
She has had rigorous training under the supervision of an ophthalmologist and specialized in the cornea, cataracts, and retina as well as how systemic disease affects the eye. She has been certified by JCAHPO as a Certified Ophthalmic Assistant.
Preventing an eye injury is the best way to prevent damage to the vision; however, some injuries are inevitable.
Knowing what to do when an eye injury occurs can go a long way to preventing permanent vision loss, or total blindness. But it's imperative that you don't panic.
There are a number of different types of ocular (eye) injuries that can occur. Some are as simple as a slight scratch on the cornea; others are as invasive as a pencil that penetrates the eyeball, also called the globe.
The type of injury determines what emergency measures are to be taken.
Types of Injury to the Eye
Some eye problems need to be seen within hours of the initial symptoms. For example, a central retinal artery occlusion must be seen by an ophthalmologist within 60 minutes of onset to avoid total and permanent blindness. Other ocular problems that must be seen within hours of onset include:
A Corneal Abrasion
- Chemical burns
- Penetrating ocular injuries
- Sudden onset of partial or total blindness
- Sudden onset of blurred vision
Some eye injuries are emergencies, but do not need to be seen immediately. Urgent eye injuries that should be seen within 24 hours of onset include:
- Acute narrow angle glaucoma
- Corneal foreign body
- Corneal ulcer
- Corneal scratch or abrasion
- Acute iritis
- Retinal detachment
- Hyphema (hemorrhage in the anterior chamber of the eye)
- Laceration of the eyelid
- Blow-out fracture of the orbit (the eye socket)
An Orbital "Blowout" Fracture
There are other ocular problems that should be seen within days of onset, and these problems include:
- Optic neuritis (swelling of the optic nerve)
- Ocular tumors
- Protrusion of an eye
- Previously undiagnosed glaucoma
- Undiagnosed or old retinal detachment
Retinal Detachment
Central Retinal Artery Occlusion
Because CRAO or central retinal artery occlusion can cause permanent blindness so quickly, it deserves a bit of explanation.
CRAO is caused by a blood clot in the main artery that supplies blood to the retina. The retina is essentially an extension of the brain because of its complex structure. Because of this, deprivation of oxygen causes permanent damage to the vision within minutes.
Treatment for CRAO usually involves medications that are meant to dilate the blood vessels in the eye so that the clot can pass through the artery and out of the eye. Medications typically used for CRAO include:
- Priscoline (tolazoline hydrochloride)
- Diamox (acetazolamide)
- Xylocaine (lidocaine hydrochloride)
- Vaporole (amyl nitrate)
- Carbachol inhalant gas
Treatment needs to be administered within 15 minutes of symptoms if the vision is to be saved. In some cases, some vision has been restored when treatment was initiated within 90 minutes of the onset of symptoms; however, the prognosis for vision is very poor the longer the treatment is delayed.
Acute Narrow Angle Glaucoma
Eye Injury Symptoms
If you have any of the following symptoms, you should see your ophthalmologist within 24 hours of the onset of the symptoms.
- Sudden loss of vision without pain (could indicate a central retinal artery occlusion)
- Sudden veil or curtain coming over your vision (could indicate a retinal detachment)
- Rainbows around lights (could be indicative of narrow angle glaucoma)
- Blurry vision with pain (may indicate iritis)
- Sensitivity to light associated with a foreign body sensation (may indicate a corneal abrasion or ulcer)
- Extreme pain, nausea or vomiting associated with rainbows around lights and/or loss of vision (may be indicative of narrow angle glaucoma)
- Double vision (may indicate a brain tumor, aneurysm, myasthenia gravis, or stroke)
- Drooping lid (may be indicative of stroke, aneurysm, or brain tumor)
Eye Injuries Treatment
If you have gotten something in your eye, such as a chemical, sand or other foreign body you need to flush your eye IMMEDIATELY with cold water.
If it's a chemical that caused the injury, you need to flush the affected eye for a MINIMUM of 15 minutes.
If the chemical is an alkali, the eye needs to be flushed for 20 to 30 minutes.
Alkali chemicals are the most hazardous to the eye, even more so than acids. This is because the molecules of the chemical adhere to corneal and conjunctival tissue, and therefore will penetrate deeper than an acid.
Ideally, the eye should be irrigated until a doctor can see the patient; however, it is sufficient to irrigate the eye until arrangements can be made for the patient to see a doctor.
Penetrating or perforating injuries to the eye, while infrequent, do occur. A penetrating injury is caused by an object piercing the globe. It is usually something such as stone or wood or something sharp like a knife.
Corneal Foreign Body
Do You Know What To Do?view quiz statistics
It is imperative that pressure not be put on the eyelids or the eyeball itself as this may cause extrusion of the contents of the eye. In other words, pressure may push the anatomical parts (such as the iris, retina, or vitreous) out of the eye through the wound.
If the object is still in the eye, DO NOT REMOVE IT! To do so can cause the ocular contents to collapse or be extruded through the wound. Movement of the eye should also be limited.
Perforating injuries are caused by an object entering the eye in one area and exiting the eye through another. As with penetrating trauma to the eye, movement should be limited. Pressure to the eye should also be limited to help prevent further damage to the contents of the eye. However, the patient should keep the eye closed to prevent anything else from entering into it.
I highly recommend avoiding a trip to the emergency room if at all possible. While ER doctors are excellent at dealing with trauma, when it comes to traumatic eye injuries, they can do more harm than good. They just don't have the expertise of an ophthalmologist and may unknowingly give a patient the wrong treatment.
If you have suffered an eye injury, contact your ophthalmologist right away, walk into his or her office if you have to, but avoid going to the ER if at all possible.
Unfortunately, for things like retinal detachment, CRAO, or even blunt trauma to the eye (such as with a tennis ball) there really isn't much the patient can do except get to the ophthalmologist right away.
In the case of retinal detachment, limiting the movement of the eye may help prevent further detachment. The best treatment is prevention. When working with chemicals, or playing a sport where an eye injury is likely to occur, always wear protective eyewear.

Excellent information, though I hope never to need to use it.
Again you have delivered a very well written and informative hub concerning this matter, thank you Daughter of Maat.
This is a well-written and informative hub. I think it is great to make information like this available. The one thing that would have been helpful to me is a definition of "retinal artery occulsion." I can understand what you mean to a point, but with no medical background the definition would help me follow better. Voted up and useful.

It's time to battle down the hatches, snuggle under a throw, light the candles and fairy lights and indulge. Time with family, great food, telly, long dog walks, hot chocolate, mulled wine. My list of little pleasures is growing. This year more than ever I have realised it is all about the little things, I have half written a post on ten things that changed my life this year, and do you know what, they are all little things. Today I thought I would share the little things that make our Christmas home.
This year was the year that Christmas unfolded exactly as it should, slowly and in delicious bite sized chunks. Starting a little earlier, back in November really helped. The older I get I also accept that visions of Christmas we see around us, in the media, in other people's timelines are only snapshots, and the whole is much more complex. Christmas is a season, not a single image. There will be ups and downs, stresses and strains, mixed with the most glorious moments of indulgence, festivity and love.
It was the year I really got to help blog it forward, with a Faux Ho Ho for ActionAid, donations to a food bank, completing The Rucksack Project for a local homeless person. Next year I want to make even more time for acts of kindness and volunteering. This year I am grateful it's put all the rushing round and present buying into perspective.
I really loved decorating the house with these garlands collected on our walks and trying out lots of Christmas crafts. There's been a lovely sense of Christmas just unfurling. Embracing it early worked wonders for our Winter happiness and home organisation too – you can see the floor in here for starters! One of the best things this week will be snuggling up with my dog Max, and lots of walks for him too.
I've really enjoyed some Christmas cooking this year, helping the kids bake these amazing cherry and chocolate chip cookies for their teachers and making the best roast veggies in vintage Prestige roasting tins. Tomorrow I am going to make this gorgeous nut roast.
I love our mantlepieces, we live in a Victorian house, so it comes into it's own at this time of year. I love bringing nature in to our home, one of the pine cones is from the tree where my Mum's ashes are, so it has meaning as well as beauty.
The tree is up and decorated entirely by L and G this year, I haven't reorganised it and don't feel any urge to. Although we might glue the fairy's head back on, she appears to be taking a nap.
Onto the decorations! We loved this really simple deer cutout the kids both got in their Woodland Trust Nature Detectives Winter packs. The magazine always has some lovely ideas for nature crafts too.
A few of our favourite decorations from the tree.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas! I will leave you with one of those little moments of perfection, before the inevitable squabble over whose decorating was the best broke out…

Tell me a bit about Peloton – where did this idea come from?
Peloton is looking to disrupt the in-home fitness equipment market by creating a state-of-the-art indoor cycling bike at the merger of high design and modern technology.
With Peloton also having an online retail option why is having a physical presence, such as your stores at Westfield Garden State Plaza and Westfield Century City, important to your brand?
In addition to the look of the bike, the feel is what makes a Peloton bike extremely unique. The bike is equipped with a rubber belt drive which renders the ride silent. The bike itself is an extremely experiential product. Customers need to test ride this product before purchasing. Our retail space functions as a showroom for our product allowing our customers to envision the bike in a living room setting.
The Peloton bike is very sleek and modern in its design. How were you able to echo this design mantra in your Westfield space?
We wanted our Garden State Plaza location to reflect the look and feel of our flagship studio. The store has minimal decoration with the end goal of really showcasing the bike. Clean white washed space with our signature pine, coupled with a small Peloton living room.

Japan July real wage growth hovers at 6-year high due to low prices
[TOKYO] Japanese real wage growth in July stayed around six-year highs, data showed on Monday, but the gain was boosted in part by the effect of falling prices, highlighting the challenges the government faces in beating decades of deflationary trends.
Real wages, which are adjusted for inflation, in July jumped 2.0 per cent from a year earlier, matching the pace in June - the highest since July 2010. Wage growth in June was revised to 2.0 per cent from a preliminary increase of 1.8 per cent, data from the labour ministry showed.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has struggled to pull the economy out of deflation and boost growth despite his recipe of bold monetary easing, fiscal spending and structural reforms. While pay rises and higher spending are key for the success of Abenomics, wage gains inflated by low prices may not spur private consumption, which remains stubbornly weak.
"Real wages grew 2.0 per cent partly because the core consumer price index fell 0.5 per cent in July," said a labour ministry official, adding that gains in nominal cash earnings also helped.
Japan's July consumer prices fell by the most in more than three years as more firms delayed price hikes due to weak consumption.

Wage earners' nominal cash earnings continued to rise, up 1.4 per cent in July, the same gain as in the previous month and the highest increase since March.
Special payments rose 4.2 per cent in July, compared with a revised 3.6 per cent gain in June. As special payments are generally small, even a slight change in the amount can cause big percentage changes.
Regular pay, which determines base salaries, increased 0.4 per cent.

November 6, 2014, Marimaca Copper Corp. ("Coro" or the "Company") (TSX Symbol: COP) is pleased to announce that it has signed an option agreement with Minera Peñoles de Chile Ltda ("Peñoles"), a subsidiary of Mexican mining company, Industrias Peñoles SAB de CV, for the latter to acquire a 70% interest in Coro's Llancahue project, located 300km south of Santiago in the VII Region of Chile.
Alan Stephens, President and CEO of Marimaca Coppercommented, "We are very pleased that Peñoles has entered into an option to acquire an interest in our Llancahue project. The previous drilling carried out in 2009 intersected attractive copper-molybdenum-silver mineralization in a possible porphyry environment, and we look forward to our new partner having success in encountering more of the same."
Option Terms
The following payments, totalling US$6 million, are required for Peñoles to acquire its 70% interest in the project;
- US$150,000 on signing the option agreement (paid)
- US$200,000 on or before 12 months of signing
- US$250,000 on or before 24 months "
- US$300,000 on or before 36 months "
- US$400,000 on or before 48 months "
- US$4.7 million on or before 60 months "
Additional Terms;
- Upon exercise of the option, the parties will form a Newco (70% Peñoles /30% Coro)
- On or before 60 months, Peñoles must complete a resource estimate prepared in accordance with NI43-101 at its sole cost
- If Coro's interest in Newco falls to 10%, it immediately converts to a 2.5% NSR
- Peñoles has a one-time right, exercisable within 90 days of exercising its option to 70%, to acquire Coro's 30% interest for US$6 million plus a 1.5% NSR
- Peñoles may withdraw from the agreement at any time after having made the first payment of US$150,000.
About Llancahue
The Llancahue project is 100% owned by Marimaca Copperand is located 38km south west of the City Of Talca in the VII Region of central Chile, at an elevation of less than 200m asl. In 2009, two reverse circulation drill programs were completed, returning a best intercept of 100m at 1.37% copper, as disclosed in the Company's news release of May 28 2009. The drilling to date suggests that this mineralization, which occurs in a porphyritic intrusive and its brecciated contact zone, may be of restricted areal extent. However, the intensity of the alteration and the accompanying high grade copper molybdenum mineralization, together with the extensive propylitic halo, support the concept that a larger body of mineralized diorite or breccia complex may be present.
Alan Stephens, FIMMM, President and CEO, of Marimaca Copper Corp, a geologist with more than 39 years of experience, and a Qualified Person for the purposes of NI 43-101, is responsible for the contents of this news release.
About Coro
Coro's strategy is to grow a mining business through the discovery, development and operation of "Marimaca Coppertype" deposits. These are defined as projects at whatever stage of development, that are well located with respect to infrastructure and water, which have low permitting risk, and which have the potential to achieve a short and cost effective timeline to production. Our preference is for open pit heap leach copper projects, where we will seek to minimise capital investment rather than maximise NPV, where we will prioritise profitability over production rate, and finally, where the likely capital cost is financeable relative to our market capitalization. Partners will be sought for any attractive projects identified that we do not have the financial capacity to develop alone. Coro's properties include the Berta pre-production project, the Planta Prat copper development project, the Celeste Sur iron ore project and the Marimaca & Llancahue copper exploration prospects, all located in Chile. The advanced San Jorge copper-gold project located in Argentina has been optioned to Aterra Capital and Solway Industries.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
At Valtavalo, we always aim for optimal user-friendliness of our LED solutions. Sometimes, however, a little more support may be needed. Here you can find some of the most frequently asked questions and our answers to them. You can also contact us and send your questions with our contact form.
Why should we be interested in lighting?
An enormous, ever-increasing amount of electricity is spent on lighting and electricity prices are constantly rising. Everywhere in the world, new legislation is adopted to decrease the energy consumption in lighting and to ensure or improve its quality. However, a major share of all lighting still uses old-fashioned, energy-wasting technology. Lighting, on the other hand, can affect our health, well-being and job satisfaction. The superior LED technology that creates real savings is already available for all indoor lighting applications.
How can you save money in lighting?
The answer is easy: by choosing green, energy-efficient, effective and durable LED lights by Valtavalo. It is also important to pay attention to the design of lighting and to study carefully the lighting requirements of the space or the area in question to provide the right amount of light at the right time in the right place. Finally, there are many automatic control options available based on motion, the amount of daylight or the task at hand.
Which aspects should be taken into consideration when selecting a lighting solution?
First, you should assess the reliability of the supplier and the technical specifications of the solution, such as light output, colour temperature (which affects the comfort and alertness of people), service life, serviceability – or the lack of service required – and warranty, i.e. how often the bulb or other components need to be replaced. Other key considerations include the environmental aspects of the solution, not to mention operating costs and particularly the energy consumption.
Where to install LED lights?
LED lamps often have a higher colour temperature (4000 K, 5700 K) than traditional yellow light (2700 K or 3000 K). For this reason, installation side by side with traditional lamps is not recommended to avoid an unpleasant effect similar to the one often seen when outdoor light and the yellow indoor light are mixed. On the other hand, LED lamps should be installed all at the same time – wherever saving energy, money and effort and getting the best possible and the most pleasant light are important. LED light is particularly suitable for offices, factories, shops, meeting rooms, schools and any other space where people work, present things or otherwise spend a considerable part of their day. Other ideal applications for LED technology include outdoor lighting that is equipped with motion sensors or is kept on constantly.
How are the Valtavalo LED tubes installed?
Installation is easy. When replacing fluorescent lamps or tubes with Valtavalo LED tubes, just replace the starter of the fluorescent lamp with Valtavalo LED starter and then install the LED tube just like an ordinary fluorescent tube. For more detailed instructions on how to replace fluorescent tubes with LED tubes, see the Support & Help page. Keep in mind that old fluorescent tubes and ballasts contain toxins! Our LED tubes are always supplied with installation instructions and guidelines on the proper handling and disposal of old fluorescent tubes, starters and ballasts.
How is the price of Valtavalo's LED tubes formed?
We aim to minimise the fixed costs of the Valtavalo organisation with automated manufacturing, short supply chains and agile support services to save our customers from paying for features that they do not need. The material costs of high-quality components can be very high, and one LED tube typically contains more than 50 single small LED lights and a large number of other parts. Other elements affecting the price include not only our internal logistics and storage costs but also shipping, duties, VAT and the Finnish electronics recycling fee. However, we do everything we can to guarantee the lowest possible prices for our customers – openly and fairly.
Why switch to Valtavalo's LED solution?
All LED products supplied by Valtavalo are characterised by high quality and excellent lighting efficiency. Depending on the reference product, calculation method, use and the circumstances, the savings are between 50% and 90%, which is why you should start saving now! Electricity prices in Finland are rising at an accelerating pace and are likely to continue that way once the electricity market in the EU opens up for more competition. LED light is a hot trend right now, which creates a positive image of the organisation, both internally and externally. It is possible to switch to better lamps right now without any increase in monthly costs – quite the opposite! Our corporate sales is happy to tell you about our financing solutions for companies and the public sector. By choosing a LED lighting solution by Valtavalo, you are choosing an environmentally sustainable solution with considerable positive long-term impact on your company's finances and the well-being of your employees.
Why does one 60 cm LED tube burn brighter than another one?
In some fixtures designed for two 60 cm tubes, the tubes may be connected in series. Consequently, LED tubes do not work properly in such fixtures. In such cases, the connection in series has to be replaced by a parallel connection, and this must be done by an electrician. Light fixtures that are connected in series can usually be identified because they have two tubes and only one inductor (3). See the installation instructions for the LED tube or ask your nearest Valtavalo dealer for advice.
Can you use Valtavalo LED tubes with motion sensors or dimmers?
LED tubes work well with a variety of sensors, and control based on motion or daylight sensing can help in gaining significant additional savings. However, current Valtavalo LED tubes cannot be dimmed. If there seems to be a clear need for the dimming feature, we will look into developing LED tubes compatible with dimmers. You can send us feedback through our Contact page. In cooperation with our reliable partners, Valtavalo offers dimmable LED products for spaces where the dimming feature is essential.
What is covered by warranty?
Because Valtavalo Ltd aims to set an example of responsible operation for the industry, our warranty covers all product failures of our own products – even the failure of a single LED component. However, the warranty only covers proper use and installation. Satisfied customers are our most important marketing asset.
Which colour temperature of LED lights should I choose?
If you are purchasing lighting products for your home or other location with many yellow (4000 K or less) light sources, the recommended value for LED lights is 4000 K. For new buildings, workspaces and rooms where all lights are replaced at the same time, we recommend higher values up to 5700 K, which corresponds to natural daylight.

Herr Otto Partz says you're all nothing but pipsqueaks!
Good: The top banner makes me want to race Bad: Nested frames Ugly: USC 2011 is the weirdest title I will ever get to win (I'm not complaining, of course - cf. Kalpen '01, Kalpen '07, WMCS '09/'10...)I assume you have dropped that silly "rule" about excluding your own results from the seasonal standings?
The scoreboards combo box in the archives page is not working. I think it worked before today's update, but I'm not fully sure.
Good: The "retro design" it's cool.Bad: Trust.Ugly: You.
USC site is down because of server problems. If I try to upload the files, it stops after a few kilobytes. And since I made a full clean-up because of these "half files" (too lazy to select them...), I can't upload the site.
For next year, you could take it easy and start in February, 10 tracks to November.
