Extreme Cheapskates is a documentary television show. It made its premier on DFH in 2011. Extreme Cheapskates is a show that follows the stories of cheapskates and the viewers get to witness first hand the limits people will go to save money. These people take their cheapness very seriously. They will even get their family involved in their methods. The episodes change every week, as will the methods.
These cheapskates will go to the extreme when trying to pinch a penny. They say that they are going to these extreme measures because they don't want to pay extra for anything. The topics that will be taped are as follows, a man who freezes his assets to keep his wife from spending it, people who recycle toilet paper, people who dumpster dive, people not using the toilet (to save money), people who reuse dental floss, people refusing to wash clothes (in order to save money), people who do not flush (to save money), and people who throw a party on a $4.00 budget. Those are just a few of the topics you will see. The cameras take us behind the scenes and we can see how and why a person would consider this kind of lifestyle.
Throughout this show, the people are real, the emotions are real, and their reasons are real. These people are speaking candidly about how they live when being an extreme cheapskate. Some people do this in order to save money. Other people are doing this because they don't think they should have to pay for certain things. Whatever the case may be, many seek out help with this addiction. The measures they take to create this lifestyle could be dangerous or harmful to their health.

It seems I have had a change of luck! Today in the mail I got the following items:
1x replacement Canon EF-S 17-55mm IS
1x replacement Hoya Pro1D CPL
1x Samyang 8mm Fisheye
1x Transcend 16gb SDHC
I also received an email from ebay informing me I have been refunded in full for the Canon 70-300mm L that I was having trouble with!
Even more amazingly the Canon lens is the best copy out of the 5 I have had so far, focus still isn't perfect but it's the best I've tried, it gets it right a lot of the time and when it doesn't, recomposing the shot normally does the trick. At the very least it's better than no lens at all! Hopefully at least one day at Bristol balloon fiesta will result in some sunshine so I can really put the lens through it's paces!
The Samyang 8mm is quite remarkable, it's very sharp at f/5.6 and has excellent edge to edge consistency despite the incredible 180 degree angle of view! It's such a cheap lens in the scheme of things especially considering the ambitious optical design so I am very impressed that the quality control appears to be so good! It's not going to be a lens I can use every day and the novelty would quickly wear off but I get the feeling it will be well suited to taking photos of hot air balloons.
The Transcend is a great memory card and I already have one which has worked flawlessly for the past 8 months, they may be affordable but in my experience they are rock solid unlike Patriot and several other cheaper brands!
I'm still waiting for a spare battery but I will have access to mains electricity so I could probably cope in a worst case scenario, on the whole I am much better equipped for the trip to Bristol.
Now it just remains for either the weather or riots to ruin everything!

Since the beginning of time it has always been known for man and woman to coexist, the relationship between the two is very important because the survival of human life depends upon it. The values of life is shared by both man and woman, that is why people fight for their lives but in some cases people do not only fight for the freedom of their lives but for the freedom of someone else's life as well. `No Surrender' is an example of this state of mind, the characters Malenga and Hamish yet both from different backgrounds still have the same value for life.
Malenga is a black voluntary worker that was educated in Britain and had returned to her native home of Angola to support others who weren't as lucky to receive health and education.
Her values for life seem to be great and feelings for the survival of life especially for war-torn African children is overwhelming. Malenga has a strong sense for life which makes herself a strong individual, she is also helped with the her own belief that life will always find its way. Hamish is a white South African war deserter, the reason he abandoned the war is more clearer than the reason he joined the war. Hamish left the war because of the destruction his army was doing to the country and to the people who live in it. So he too has some value for life, throughout the novel Hamish boast himself to Malenga about the many trees and plants that he is able to eat and survive from. Another point is the fact that he joined the army, are you not fighting for a country and the lives of 15 million people? Although its not very noticeable Hamish values his life just as much as Malenga does.
Early in the novel Malenga and Hamish meet accidentally but it seems it was destiny, Hamish isn't aware of the situation when he is taken prisoner due to the unconscious state that he arrived in. However Malenga is hand cuffed to him and almost immediately she starts to nurse his wounds, even tough she completely doesn't know this stranger she pours all her efforts into helping him recover. When Hamish awakes he begins to work out little tactics for a plan to escape, Malenga and Hamish start to bond together having the same interest in ultimately staying alive. Malenga's main concern to begin with was herself but after meeting the only one other person who shares her pain in the same situation, her perspective changes. Malenga and Hamish start to instead of keeping the relationship strictly business they both begin to feel for each other and their feelings grow even stronger when they are separated at the UNITA army base. Malenga starts to make excuses to keep them from being separated, Malenga says "this hand will need a new dressing", to plead that they stay together. This relationship between the two gets stronger during the novel and is sometimes mentioned by the two characters that they love one another. By this time the survival situation becomes harder, Malenga is constantly doing foolish things like deciding not to fir back at troops when getting shot at. Malenga is totally against violence where Hamish believes in using violence against violence, that's what makes their situation more dangerous. Malenga, "I don't want any firing", Hamish, "we got to use the gun". Hamish is a soldier and is naturally always trying to be the hero, in the novel he is lucky to get away with most of the stunts that he pulls off. The novel get you thinking how could a person grow to love someone they have recently met and practically do anything in their power to save that persons life in such a small amount of time.
Tomas, Malenga's little brother saves her from getting shot and rescues her from the army base jail facility. It's reasonable to understand that relationship that he has with Malenga seeing that he is her brother, but for Hamish and Malenga to have such deep feelings, enough to die for is questionable. Had Malenga not have met Hamish she would not have motivated herself enough into standing up to the `Big man' and being brave enough to escape only to get caught again, was that because she wanted to go back and get Hamish? Hamish too, his feelings for Malenga motivated him to turn into the cocky soldier that he is and stand by Malenga as her protector, could the feelings he has for Malenga stop him from escaping himself. It is clear that they both care for each other, they're survival at the end is a success because of the motivation they give one another. They differ in little ways Malenga's love for life especially Hamish and her never say `die' attitude is what mainly motivates her whereas Hamish's sole purpose to survive was based on Malenga's well being. So Malenga's theory that life will find it's way proved to be motivation more than hope.

Blogger Exposes Scary Vulnerability in TSA Body Scanners [VIDEO]
A blogger has just posted a video that showcases what appears to be a major flaw in the Transportation Security Administration's full-body airport scanners.
Jonathan Corbett, who runs the website TSA Out of Our Pants!, posted a video showcasing how metal objects affixed to the side of the body (rather than the front or back) can pass through the TSA scanners undetected. The video raises a lot of questions about how much value the scanners actually provide.
The scanners, which started appearing in airports in the fall of 2010, have been criticized for being invasive and potentially causing health problems. In July, the TSA began installing software to make the machines' output scans images less invasive.
Corbett was one of the first individuals to sue the TSA over the scanners. He claims that the scanners violate the Fourth Amendment, which protects agains unwanted searches and seizures. Initial court rulings have gone against Corbett, but he is still pushing his case forward and hopes to soon petition the U.S. Supreme Court.
What do you think of the video? Let us know in the comments.

Panama City has positioned itself as a global transport hub, the 'Dubai of the Americas' if you will. The city's Tocumen Inernational Airport acts as a gateway linking North America and Europe with South America – but if you have time Panama is itself worth a short visit.
Outside of Panama City, the country has a rich biodiversity, and eco-tourism is on the rise, but for those wanting a short lay over, two days in capital should be more than enough to see the highlights.
One thing to note is that Panama uses the USD so prices are more expensive than elsewhere in South or Central America. For example taxis or an Uber from the airport both cost from around $30 and take about 30 mins. Expensive compared to South America.
For those planning a short layover, here are some tips for visiting the main highlights in Panama City:
Miraflores Locks and Panama Canal:
The Panama Canal is connected on the Pacific Ocean side by the Miraflores Locks. The Locks are located about 10 miles outside of the city centre and costs approximately $6 via Uber or $10 via yellow taxi.
The Miraflores Lock Visitor Centre offers excellent views of the Canal and Locks in action, as well as a museum and short introduction video. Entrance costs $15 per person.
The Locks are open from early morning until 11am for east bound traffic and from 2.30pm until late for west bound traffic, so make sure you come at the right time.
During weekdays expect large numbers of school tours.
Casco Viejo
The historic Old Town of Panama is packed with colonial buildings, with an extensive renovation initiative underway to restore many of the dozens of crumbling ruins.
The area is easily walkable, featuring numerous bars and restaurants dotted around open plazas – perfect for enjoying a glass of wine and doing some people watching.
The highlights of Casco Viejo include:
The ruins of the Iglesia de la Compania de Jesus church, which was originally constructed as a school and university before burning down in 1781.
The Catedral Metropolitana, one of the largest in Central America is currently undergoing refurbishment – so unfortunately you'll need to expect scaffolding and workmen.
Bolivar Plaza is a great place to relax for good and drinks in the shadow of the ornate Iglesia San Francisco church.
The Plaza Francia was originally the main plaza of the old walled city and is dedicated to the original French design and attempts to build the Panama Canal. Above the monument on the old city walls you'll find a local market and get great views of the ocean and across to the modern city.
Bio Museum
Just outside of the Casco Viejo, a 10 minute taxi ride away is the iconic BioMuseo designed by the architect Frank Gehry.
The museum and galleries provide an educational insight into the regions biodiversity and importance in the global ecosystem.
The museum is closed on Mondays, but open Tuesday to Friday 10am-4pm and weekends 10am-5pm. Tickets cost $18 for adults.

The _raise query directive helps an analyst trigger modules and incidents from a filtered dataset. The directive can also be used for sending instant notifications or alerts based on the insights gathered from the data.
_raise [module|notify_group|notify_email|incident] value
The _raise directive uses the following options to trigger modules and incidents:
_ raise module:
Using the module option users can trigger an existing module, as per observations in the result set
_raise module <module_name> <module_weight>
module_name: is a slug-name of an existing module. In order to create a module please refer the How To Create Modules document.
module_weight: is a number that represents the severity of the module. This number is user defined and can be used in second level of correlation.
_raise module port_reconnaissance 3
In the above example, port_reconnaissance is the module slug-name and 3 is the module-weight.
_raise incident:
The incident option helps in deriving further insights from a set of events and modules, as per the match-cases in the additional layer of correlation. This incident is a finalized outcome of checks.
_raise incident <incident-name> match #labelA.key AND #labelB.key | #labelC.key AND #labelD.key
incident-name: is a user defined name in reference to the incident. This name does not support blank-spaces and special characters.
#label: are the variables from the _fetch directive, which holds the values to match. To learn more about label, please refer the document, How to use label.
_raise incident port_reconnaissance_on_server match #labelA.$SrcIP AND #labelB.$SrcIP
In the above example, an incident is converted if #labelA.$SrcIP is the same as #labelB.$SrcIP.
_raise notify_email:
The notify_email option is an additional feature of the _raise directive to send an instant alert email from search to a defined email address. However, unlike the _trigger directive, these emails are in the default format.
_raise notify_email <email-address-1>, <email-address-2>, ...
Here, email-address: are the email-IDs of the recipients.
_raise notify_email [email protected], [email protected]
_raise notify_group:
Similar to the notify_email option, this feature sends an instant alert-email directly from search to a group of email addresses, as defined in the NOTIF GROUP within the DNIF console.
The benefit of using notify_group over notify_email is that the user does not have to make changes in live queries in workbooks to add or remove email recipients.
_raise notify_group <slug-name-of-group>
slug-name-of-group: is the name of the email group defined by the user. To learn how to create a group, please refer the document, How to create Notif Group.
_raise notify_group trainer_dnif
In the above example, trainer_dnif is the slug-name-of-group.

Is ringworm an infectious disease? How I should treat ringworm? How to identify the sign of ringworm? Here we have answered such most asked questions about ringworm.
What is Ringworm?
Ringworm, also termed as tinea, is a common fungal infection characterized by crusted and circular red patches on the skin.
Is Ringworm an Infectious Disease?
Yes, ringworm is highly contagious disease you catch from an infected person by using his belonging or bedding. You are also prone to ringworm if you are touching or stroking infected pets. While ringworm affects people of all ages, children are more vulnerable to this skin condition.
What Cause Ringworm?
Ringworm is not caused by the worms. Instead, fungi are the key factor behind its occurrence. Fungi, which reside on the outer skin layer, are present everywhere and thrive in moist and warm areas like pools and even in your skin folds.
You have more chances to get ringworm if your immune system is weak or you have a history of getting fungal infections. Other health conditions like diabetes and cancer affect your immunity, increases the risk of fungal infection for you.
Besides, wearing tight fitting clothes, wet clothes or moist skin for longer provide favorable environment for fungi, causing ringworm.
How to Tell If I Have Ringworm?
The primary symptoms of ringworm are circular patches on your skin which are red and crusty. These patches couple with intense itching. In some cases, the rings merge together to form blisters or fluid filled sores around.
Where Ringworm's Signs Occur on the Body?
Ringworm can develop anywhere on the body. They can be on the face, chest, arms, groin and inner thighs. In rare cases, they occur on the fingernails.
Can I Treat Ringworm Myself at Home?
You can treat ringworm as long as they are mild. There are many topical medications you can use to treat ringworm at home. Generally, ringworm is resolved within two weeks with OTC medications.
When I Need Medical Assistance to Treat Ringworm?
You should see your physician as soon as possible if ringworm is beyond your control. Here are the common signs you must seek medical assistance for your ringworms.
- If you notice the symptoms on scalp
- No improvement with home treatments or OTC creams
- You have already other health condition or you are taking medical prescription that affects your immune system.
- Intense pain, discomfort, heat and itching.
- Red streaks developing from the area.
- Puss or fluid discharge.
- Having fever of 100 F or higher.
If there is improvement in your condition, you may not require a visit to doctor. However, you should watch for these signs and always follow the guidelines to avoid issues. Remember, you should get your severe or prolonged infected treated from a doctor.
How Doctor Treat Your Ringworm?
A physician assesses your skin condition to determine the severity of the case. In case of mild symptoms, he prescribes you common topical medications. If the condition is severe, he usually expands the prescription with antifungal tablets, antifungal shampoos, and lotions.
What Precautions Should I Take to Prevent Ringworm?
As this is infectious skin condition, you should take care of your skin and other things so that you overcome soon.
- Avoid using infected person's clothing and bedding
- Wash your clothes
- Consider changing your damp clothes to avoid fungi thriving
- Wash your skin before topical medications
- Keep your skin dry and clean
- Practice personal hygiene
- Wear loose clothes to let the area breathe
- Don't wear moist clothing
- Avoid scratching or picking the crusted skin as it can aggravate the problem
- Follow clinical guidelines
Last Word:
We hope that this piece of information have cleared your doubts about ringworms. To prevent ringworm, you should maintain personal hygiene and use topical ointment when it is in mild stages.

Pixel Tunnel
For a bicycle tunnel in Zaandam, designers Overtreders W, Maartje Dros and Erik Klarenbeek asked local residents to send in pixel drawings of what they were most proud of in their city, and compiled this into a colourful mosaic onto the walls.
The region of Zaanstad north west of Amsterdam, is famous for its centuries old windmills, the Zaan river, mustard, cocoa, linoleum, industrial countryside and characteristic green timber houses.
For those who commute to Amsterdam on their bicycles or scooters from Zaandam, the region's main city, the lead up to the obligatory ferry crossing through grey industrial terrain is pretty bleak. But there's one small section that brings a ray of sunshine to the route: a lively, tiled bicycle tunnel filled with colourful images from the region. Every time you cycle through it, there's always a new section to discover.
When Overtreders W (Reinder Bakker and Hester van Dijk), Maartje Dros and Eric Klarenbeek received the commission from the Zaanstad City Council to design a bicycle tunnel in Zaandam, they immediately established several conditions: the walls of the tunnel had to be 'graffiti proof', there was to be an image of some sort that reflected something of the people and region and local residents could have the opportunity to contribute to the project. With this in mind, a material was chosen that was pragmatic in allowing the easy removal of graffiti and more importantly, had a strong visual impact: tiles. This also simplified the process of creating the images, as one tile (10 x 10cm) available in a palette of 14 colours, would represent one pixel.
Working in close collaboration, the designers set the brief to residents: submit drawings composed of pixels that showed what they were most proud about in their city. A website Pixelpoort was established that allowed participants to make pixel drawings, save their image and submit it. "We put a lot of effort in making the website known in Zaanstad; we went 'flyering' for a few days in the city centre and near the location for the tunnel, we got in touch with a school teacher who let her pupils make drawings, there was an item on Radio TV Noord Holland (the local television station). As a result more than 800 people participated," explains Hester van Dijk from Overtreders W (meaning trespassers in Dutch). "Some people got really enthusiastic about it and made about 20 different drawings, some of them very elaborate. The final design, composed of (parts of) the most inspiring images, reveals some of the dreams and nightmares of the Zaankanters (Zaan residents)."
The submssions can be viewed on the Pixelpoort website (under Inzendingen) and even though the project has been completed, residents (or anyone for that matter) can still have a go at creating the pixel drawings.

Thread: OpenScad Help Centre
Umm, yes ?
There is no such thing as 'best practice'. Only what you are happiest using.
If that's all it takes to save your own modules and use them in scripts. Then that's going to be extremely useful.
The only thing I've used like that so far is the write.scad module. I actually made a different one for each font and renamed them for the font names. so i can just use: use <knewave.scad>
To use the knewave font. Makes things a bit easier.
Using a library of your own modules would make for simpler looking scripts, that's for sure.
Also you're rotate extrude module just makes a bog standard straight sided ring. Shouldn't it make a round sided 'donut/torus' ?
Here's some homework for you OME - find a decent module I can make different sized screw threads with. I've so far not managed to find one that actually works.
Maybe this one love you long time:

I think that using the "module" function is the only way to make openscad files easy to understand by the people that did not write them.
If you stick all the separate things it does in modules then just call them from the bottom of the file it really is a lot easier to remember what is what.

If you have some modules that are in another file and you want to call those modules then you can either "include" the file or "use" the file.
"Include" will perform calculations that are within the file whereas "use" will not do any internal calculations, it will just use the functions.
For example:
With the toroid file from the other thread I can simply
use <./new_toroid.scad>
toroid (25,5);
to make the toroid
This is a good example of how to use modules to insulate yourself from a problem. I already had a module that made a ridged_beam() and let me set numbers to build it. But then I defined a module to make a stress_relieved_ridged_beam() that took some input numbers and generated an 'appropriate' beam from them.
And at a higher level, it only takes a few lines of code to make the base() with all these fancy holes. If I need to do further work to reduce stress on the model, I just have to do it in the one routine stress_relieved_ridged_beam() and it will automatically get replicated everywhere that function is used. If the topic is of interest to you, you can zoom in and see the miniature cuts between each big hole to eliminate stress build up on the early layers.
Proper and judicious use of 'module' can help make your code more maintainable and easier to reuse. (Not to mention... Easier for other people to understand!!!!)
12-10-2014, 05:37 AM #66Pay attention!!. This is the OpenScad Help Centre, not the Geometry Help Centre. The code pasted here is just an example copied from the blog page to illustrate the topic "Modules"
And using examples from thje openscad manual is just going to confuse everybody :-)
Not sure who wrote that manual, but I'm leaning towards someone with aspergers.
They defintiely don't share any frame of reference with me :-)
I agree that I didn't put the question about the square doughnut very well, but it did generate some lively discussion, have minds whirring over, and introduced us to an expert in the field.
I'm with you in saying that the OpenScad manual is not instructive. It clearly was not written with the intention of enlightening people like you and me who just wanted to use OpenScad to make objects. The manual was obviously written by programmers for programmers and that is why it is full of jargon such as, (You can instantiate the module by passing values (or formulas) for the parameters just like a C function call)
Techopedia explains Instantiate
Instantiation is the creation of an instance of an abstraction, object class (also known as a template) or other computer process whereby objects are used. Each instance created by instantiation is unique depending on the variation of the elements within the object. Until an object becomes instantiated, none of the code within the relevant class declarations is used.
Prior to modern OOP methods, instantiate had a similar meaning in relation to the creation of data within an empty template. For example, the entry of a record into a database was considered to be instantiation.
Remember this. It will be in the End of Year examination of the core topic Obfuscation 101.
The manual presumes too much prior knowledge of programming, which is why I started this thread with a request for a description of the syntax, and then realised that I needed to know the meanings of it symbols and punctuation before I could move on to writing some code. I'm also wondering if OpenScad is an efficient way to end up with an *.stl file that is needed for slicing. I haven't tried converting any code to an stl file.
I find that it is very easy to make typographical errors in writing this code. I had to edit the code in the example I posted in Post #60 because the original author had mixed up the order of parameters here

OpenScad has been stagnant for a whole year. No bug fixes or improvements. It almost looked like the development effort was dead. Well, it turns out they were very busy!!! There is a new release 2015.03 that adds a lot of important features and simplifies the code to do a number of things. It seems very stable and so far, it appears to be fully backward compatible.
Two of the best things in the new version are the ability to generate text directly to put on your models and the offset() command.
Check it out: http://www.openscad.org/downloads.html
Actually... There is one more thing that is super important. The ability to set and reset a variable within any scope. This dramatically simplifies a number of things.

I've done a few reviews on products that are meant to help treat those with Eczema. I recently had a major breakout with the Eczema and it's even spread to other parts of my body, which is frustrating.
I'm still on the hunt for products that are truly going to help the itchiness, and the red irritated skin. Not to mention, it's extremely dry in the areas that I had the Eczema outbreak. What I'm looking for is something that could replace my prescription steroid and truly help heal and calm the skin.
This time around, it's time for quality Eczema Therapy products. I'm testing out three products from Kamedis Dermatology. Their goal is to share their discoveries of effective skin solutions. Their skincare products are made with botanical rhubarb and clinically proven to reduce eczema flare-ups by up to 50 percent. They're free of Parabens, Steroids, Dyes, and Fragrances, and completely safe for babies.
Eczema Therapy Wash
I've been using a bar of soap from DOVE, which was recommended by my dermatologist. I'll be honest, I was a little nervous about testing this since it's the first time I'm trying an Eczema Therapy Wash ($12.99) that are made as a form of treatment. This gentle foaming cleanser will help reduce dry, red, itchy skin caused by Eczema.
I have to say, this works really well. The only issue I have is with my feet. I'm allergic to the cleaning products I use in the bathroom, so every time I take a shower my feet get red, irritated and burn a little. The Eczema Therapy Wash does work, but I feel like because of the allergic reaction I'm having, it's not working at the level it could be.
Everywhere else I have Eczema, this has done amazing things. It's still a work in progress, but I can definitely tell it's helping calm my skin. It's still a little irritating, but it doesn't get as red anymore, and the irritation isn't as bad as it normally is. As I continue using the Eczema Therapy Wash, I"ll definitely notice a major improvement in my skin.
Eczema Therapy Cream
Throughout the day, I would use the Eczema Therapy Cream ($20.99). I apply it twice a day: once in the morning and again before I go to bed. I'll apply this on my feet and put on a new pair of socks. This was a recommendation from my dermatologist. This is going to calm dry, itchy irritated skin due to eczema and rashes.
I'm really enjoying this so far. If I apply this when the skin is irritated, I can feel the skin calming down within a few minutes. It's working just as good as my prescription ointment, the big difference is that this is not a steroid ointment.
Calming Lotion
This Calming Lotion ($10.99) is going to instantly soothe and relieve red, itchy and irritated skin. And let me tell you, It does! When my Eczema flares up and gets itchy and irritated, this soothes it almost immediately. I'm not going to lie, I didn't think it was going to… but it did!
The Calming Lotion is used one to three times a day. I followed the directions and used two applications, 10-15 minutes apart. I definitely have to pick up another one of these, because I actually think it's working better than my prescription ointment.
Eczema Therapy Final Thoughts
Having to deal with Eczema is a frustrating mess. In order to get my prescription, I constantly have to Pau my $45 co-pay to see my dermatologist when we all know it's the Eczema. But, she won't send in refills without seeing me.
I won't have to do that anymore since I've finally found eczema therapy products to replace that prescription steroid ointment. If you're struggling with Eczema, I highly recommend giving this a try. It's been working so well for me so far, and it's super affordable!
If you've tried anything from Kamedis Dermatology, let us know your thoughts!

If you do Lightwork, here is a comprehensive list of what might ail you:
-body aches and pains
-ear ringing
-annoying relatives
-slow drivers in your way
-sugar cravings
-wine cravings
-vacation cravings
-left (or right) knee/shoulder/elbow/pinkie toe tingles
Okay, that's enough. Let's talk about what might ail you if you are oblivious to your path of Light and ignore good advice from Lightworkers:
-see list above
Why would I jest about such a serious topic? Why would I make fun of human reactions to solar flares, GMOs, politics, proton fields, dark auras, vampires, negative ETs and so on? This is why:
You are the creator.
My inbox receives wonderful articles from professionals with the best of intentions. I read them, anxious to find out why I didn't sleep last night or why I have a headache. Yet, something seems off when I align myself with these ideas. I find myself in a search mode and for me that is a sign that I am not using my spiritual potential.
There are environmental effects: If it is raining, things are going to be wet. Fires are hot. Snow is cold. But the solar flares have been going on for a long time, am I just now noticing? A little research showed me that we aren't in a huge sun-flashing-solar-flare-aggressive time. It's the sun and it flares. Does that mean we aren't affected? Absolutely not.
My point is that we tend to blame. We look for reasons to deal with oddities, aches and pains, unusual feelings. What if you are just becoming more sensitive?
Rather than search for what causes what, I am suggesting that we stop looking around as if we are victims of our environment and take responsibility. My guides give me this lesson every time I ask why something is happening. I want it to be someone else's fault. Then I can blame them, make them my problem and never have to fix myself.
If you are on a Light path, and I think you are, we don't get away with meditating and blaming. Oil and water. They don't mix. If I ask my guides why I have a headache they might say because of my reaction to GMOs. How do I stop that? They say, "Stop what? The headache? The reaction? Or the process of making blame part of this equation?"
When this happens, I feel really human and wonder why I didn't think my question through before asking. The guides say things like, "How would we teach you if you did not ask?" Okay, I get that. I will show up human and blaming. How can I stop the blaming, decrease reactions and relieve headaches?
This is an example, and I am sure your brain is answering the questions already. If there is a reaction, the first thing we can do is get calm. Slow our thinking so that we are resolution oriented and clear enough to receive guidance. Avoiding a reaction may be as simple as ignoring it, getting on with your day. Maybe the answer is an essential oil, walking or being creative. It is so helpful to have a list of things you can do for yourself when there is an issue. We forget how to help ourselves when we are hurting.
Learning to eliminate blame and projection are not something I can speak to personally as I am still working on this. However, my guides have a few ideas:
-Assess situations from all perspectives; create a play or story and write each person's part. Compassion needs a path; comprehension creates a path for understanding and, at times, forgiveness.
-Include nature in all decisions. Walk, run, skip or sit. Get outside and be with something natural. It will enhance your sense of self by diminishing the largeness of situations. Feeling small in the world can help sometimes.
-Write a complaint letter to someone you are angry with and then change "you" to "I". Do it after the letter is written. Don't the left brain interfere with your creative flow.
-Pray. It's like putting a cake in the oven. Words left for Source turn into healing. Ingredients left in the oven turn into cake.
-You have heard it a million times: meditate. Raise your frequency and be in that Divine flow of Light that is everything you know in every cell of your body.
Next time you are looking for the why or the reason something happened, try telling yourself that it's temporary. Lightwork is likely the cause of some suffering in your life and there may be difficulties, don't dwell on them. Tell Creator/Source/God/Goddess when it feels like too much. Have good boundaries. Just because it's Lightwork doesn't mean we must suffer.
Disclaimer: Please don't ignore physical issues that might be a message for help. These words are intended to make us stronger by enhancing our ability to look ahead and bridge the hard stuff. The ascension path is full of crazy aches and pain. We are challenged and it does hurt. Just don't dwell on causes. Be conscious, take action and use your sensitives to feel into all the most appropriate decisions for you.
Blessings on your spiritual road,

How to Hang Plants in Glass Bottles
Glass bottles make an attractive planting container with a few DIY modifications. Cutting and drilling glass requires a some specialized tools that are worth the price when you consider the costs to purchase similar finished bottle containers. The result is a brightly colored potting device that you can hang from a tree or patio overhang. Because of their size, glass bottles work best with small plants, such as herbs, or vine-producing plants that can cascade over the edge of the bottle.
Mark a ring around the top of the bottle with a permanent pen if you want to cut it off for a larger opening. Mark three evenly spaced drill holes around the top edge of the bottle for hanging about 1/2 inch from the top edge.
Cut off the top of a bottle with by slowly etching around the marked circle using a diamond rotary blade attached to a rotary cutting tool. Spray the surface of the glass with a misting bottle while cutting to keep the glass surface cool. Let the blade cut the glass slowly instead of pushing the blade into the glass to avoid cracking the bottle. It may take four to five passes around the marked circle to cut through the glass depending on the thickness.
Drill a 1/4-inch-diameter hole through each of the three marked spots around the top edge with a diamond drill bit. Spray the glass every couple of seconds with a mister bottle of water to keep the glass cool while drilling.
Drill two or three holes into the bottom of the bottle at a diameter of 1/8 inch to provide drainage.
Polish the top edge of the bottle and edges of the drilled holes with a silicone-carbide sandpaper to smooth the surface without dulling the glass. Rub slowly and avoid rubbing excessively in one spot.
Tie twine through each of the holes using a square knot to secure the twine. Hold the opposite ends of the twine together and secure them together with a knot. Attach a wire hanging loop to the knot or make a loop out of the twine to hang the bottle. You can also wrap a piece of 18-gauge wire through each hole and twist it tightly to hold in place instead of using twine.
Things Needed
- Permanent pen
- Rotary cutter
- Diamond rotary blade
- Water mister bottle
- Drill
- Diamond drill bit
- Silicon-carbide sandpaper
- Twine or 18-gauge wire
- Protective goggles
- Protective gloves
- Wear protective eye goggles and gloves while cutting and drilling glass to protect the bottle from possible shards of glass.

Okowa stated this in Asaba while presenting the 2018 budget proposal to the State House of Assembly.
He said that the 593 cooperative societies in the 25 local government areas of the state were made up of 6,252 beneficiaries.
The governor said that the enterprises covered trading, agri-businesses and manufacturing with active participants such as market women, artisans and small farm holders.
Okowa also said that a total of 2,324 unemployed youths, including 51 persons with disabilities had been trained and established in enterprises of their choices.

In no time at all, my final exams for Advanced Accounting and Ethics will be over and my time as a tMPA will be complete. The past year has been incredible (and busy!) and I couldn't depart without leaving the blog with some final Austin-area suggestions:
Pacha – This is my #1 go-to spot for breakfast/brunch. The pancakes are unparalleled and the space is cute and funky. Service can be slow on weekends since pancakes are made from scratch and the kitchen is small.
Sandy's – This place has been around since 1945 and is hopping on weekend evenings. The burgers, fries, and custard-based shakes are worth checking out. Sandy's is a hop and skip away from Zilker, so you can plan to go after a picnic or a dip in Barton Springs Pool.
Tacodeli – There are tons of taco shops in Austin but my favorite has to be Tacodeli for the selection and awesome queso. Sadly, it is only open for breakfast and lunch. If you are craving tacos in the evening (and why wouldn't you be), try Las Trancas.
Crown and Anchor – This bar is close to campus and has a good selection of beer and bar food. On Sunday evenings, games of pool are free.
Violet Crown and Alamo Drafthouse – These are my two favorite theaters to catch a movie in Austin. Violet Crown is downtown on 2nd Street and Alamo has several locations around town. Both theaters serve food but Alamo takes things to the next level with servers that come right to your seat.
Umlauf Sculpture Garden and Museum – If you're an MPA student, you know Charles Umlauf's work because Umlauf sculpted The Family Group in front of McCombs. The Umlauf is a beautiful space with a rotating indoor exhibit, and a permanent collection outdoors. I highly recommend a visit.
Thank you for reading. I wish the best of luck to the MPA class of 2017 and beyond.

Learn the pointers utilized by Expert Roofer near Boligee Alabama
The telephone called at 2:00 in the morning. When the telephone rings at this time, it usually implies problem, this time, it was exception. The frantic voice at the other end was declaring that his home ceiling was falling – literally. All the rain that had fallen for the last 2 days had turned a little roof leakage into a water fall. The customer was asking for emergency situation roof services, at 02:00 AM, to drop in the middle of a rainy early morning. He was not pleased when I described that it would not be safe to tackle the roof in the darkness. The lesson in here is "do not wait on rain to fix your roof leakage!"
Common Places Leaks Occur in Roofing
This short article will provide the necessary understanding to find a roof leak It will also inform you the very best method to get your roof fixed. Parts of the roof susceptible to leak are the joints between the roof and the roof mounted structures, such as the chimney. The joint in between the roof and a vertical wall; and the joint in between 2 slopping areas – valleys.
While roof leaks prevail in numerous houses, the fundamental locations are the skylights, ice dams, wall action flashings, missing out on shingles, plumbing vent flashing, chimneys, fields of shingles, and heater or B-vent flashings. As common locations, numerous homeowners battle to discover the exact location when it pertains to roof repairs.
Leaks can happen anywhere on the roof and for any variety of reasons. Severe weather condition which brings rain, snow, wind and hail are difficult on the roofing systems. Some roofings leak due to the fact that they appear broken.
[ssvideo keyword="roofer" title="roofer in Boligee"]
Tips to discover the source of the roof leakage.
People normally discover the roof leakage after the water begins to leak through the ceiling. However, the source of the leakage is hardly ever straight above the water stain. These suggestions will help you find the sources of a roof leak:
In the attic, start above the ceiling leak and follow the water stains on the deck to the potential source. Watch for a ray of sunlight to indicate a nail hole.
Have a pal hose pipe down the roof while you view the leak from the inside of the attic.
If you find a hole, mark the place by using a wire wall mount through the hole. Ensure your pal has the ability to locate the wire hanger on the top of the roof.
When you try to find leak on asphalt shingles, start by trying to find worn out shingles with dark spots in them. This shows loss of surface area granules. Look also for curled and damaged shingles.
Look likewise for broken or missing shingles.
For those in Boligee, on a roof with a valley, clear out all particles built up in the valley. Search for broken or missing flashing product.
The best ways to recognize leak stains and Their Places
A recognizable stain is the mold or wetness around the vents, chimneys, and skylights. These are the intersections where water links. After discovering the dripping places, it is very important to move perishable products such as electronic devices, furniture, and other house devices along with catching the leak in a pail. We have actually seen the movies where containers are located every other foot in the house; do not let this happen to your roof. Identifying the discolorations and places are the first steps to saving your house from damaged items by basic leaks. Your roofing contractor will explain the essential requirements to ensure your possessions are safe while examining the condition of the ceiling prior to repair.

Taking preventive measures will save you money in pricey roofing repairs. Think about checking and fixing simple issues if your roofer notices leak from your shingles, fractures in your chimney, or degraded flashings. Fix roof leakages right away. It is not suggested that you do the roof repair yourself due to its complexity and the needed knowledge of its repairs – besides, it threatens. Call a licensed and insured roofer who will supply the best insight of looking after your roof along with discuss the treatments that are utilized to eliminate leaks and protect your financial investment.
Carrying out Temporary Defense:
If you are not scared of heights and come in handy with tools, you can do some short-term roof repairs. A bit of tar, few roofing nails, and some flashing can eliminate small frustrating leaks. Some cases such as the one pointed out below is a simple, easy-to-do repair you can finish to eliminate stubborn leakages.
Water streaming inside the flat surface of the deck – Simple Roof Repairs:
Take a little crowbar to get rid of the shingle in question then layer a thick tip of tar across the area. Nail the shingle pull back then cover the entire shingle in tar. If you can not use the same nail holes, place tar within and on top of the holes to avoid leakage through the deck. Before you are done, place another thin layer of tar on the underside of the shingles just for safe-keeping. You must see a change in the area and the leak should end after the tar is used correctly.
Easy Ways to Limit the Damage
Roofing repairs can be a costly financial investment for any house owner. You can limit the damage to your house by doing something about it early. If you feel that your house needs an assessment from a roofing expert, take the time to seek advice from somebody who understands the experiences. An easy phone call to your regional roofer can land you in the ideal position to determine future problems. Home enhancements including replaced shingles, flashings, and decks can make complex the process. If you are not a roofing specialist, do not attempt to attempt complicated jobs by yourself. Be safe. Let a professional have a look, supply a quote, and get the job done right with quality products. Consider this financial investment a long-lasting contract for a delighted home.

Author(s): Charlotte Brontë
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte is a novel by English writer Charlotte Bront . It was published on 16 October 1847, by Smith, Elder & Co. of London, England, under the pen name "Currer Bell." The first American edition was published the following year by Harper & Brothers of New York. Primarily of the Bildungsroman genre, Jane Eyre follows the emotions and experiences of its eponymous heroine, including her growth to adulthood and her love for Mr. Rochester, the Byronic master of fictitious Thornfield Hall. In its internalisation of the action-the focus is on the gradual unfolding of Jane's moral and spiritual sensibility, and all the events are coloured by a heightened intensity that was previously the domain of poetry-Jane Eyre revolutionised the art of fiction. Charlotte Bront has been called the 'first historian of the private consciousness' and the literary ancestor of writers like Joyce and Proust. 2] The novel contains elements of social criticism, with a strong sense of morality at its core, but is nonetheless a novel many consider ahead of its time given the individualistic character of Jane and the novel's exploration of classism, sexuality, religion, and proto-feminism. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
A nineteenth-century classic in a beautiful leather-bound format. An exquisite collectible edition. Makes a stunning addition to any home library.
Charlotte Bronte is the eldest of the Bronte sisters, whose writings are held as a standard of English literature. Jane Eyre is her most well-known work, although she was a prolific writer and published much more.

In today's digital age, it is important that organizations and corporations maintain a strong and effective social media presence. Not only are social media channels integral to efficacious marketing, but they are also an extraordinary tool in order to connect with your customers and build lasting relationships with them.
However, being relatively new to the online environment, social media can be a little bit overwhelming. With so many social media applications being launched every now and then, it becomes an extremely challenging task for marketers to keep up with them. As a result, marketers, brand managers and business owners, whether of larger corporations or small companies, at some point face a serious dilemma – should we or should we not outsource social media management?
While it is true to some extent that nobody knows your company, or cares about it the way you do, professional social media management companies make it their job to get to know your company.
Also, caring about your company does not mean that you are qualified to effectively manage your social media presence. Thus, it is imperative to outsource your social media campaign to the experts in the field.
Contact me for an affordable and less stress Social Media Plan for your business. Remember when it comes to marketing starting now is what is important rather than hoping your product will speak for itself. Marketing initiatives have changed and so should we. email@example.com

Dua Lipa speaks out about sexism in the music industry
Written by admin on 5th April 2018
Dua Lipa has spoken out about sexism in the music industry, saying women struggle to get recognition.
"For a female artist, it takes a lot more to be taken seriously if you're not sat down at a piano or with a guitar," she told GQ.
"For a male artist, people instantly assume they write their own music, but for women, they assume it's all manufactured."
The 22-year-old co-wrote the majority of her Brit award-winning debut album.
Speaking in 2016, she said she had worked on more than 130 songs for the record and "learned a lot from the co-writers that were coming in to help me – the bones of how to write a proper song".
A major breakthrough came on the early single Last Dance, she continued.
"It was the song where we figured out what my sound was going to be. The beat, the darkness, the lyrics, the pop chorus.
"It's the one I would take to new producers and say: 'Right, this my sound.'"
Dua's difficulty in gaining recognition is not uncommon.
In 2015, Bjork noted that musician Drew Daniel – aka Matmos – had been credited with producing her Vespertine album, despite the fact she'd written "80% of the beats" on her own.
"Drew is a close friend of mine, and in every single interview he did he corrected it," she told Pitchfork. "And they don't even listen to him. It really is strange."
A year earlier, Lily Allen made similar comments in the NME.
"You will notice of the big successful female artists, there is always a 'man behind the woman' piece. If it's Beyoncé, it's Jay Z. If it's Adele, it's Paul Epworth.
"Me? It was Mark Ronson and the same with Amy Winehouse. You never get that with men."
Dua went on to tell GQ how important the #MeToo movement had been for women in the entertainment industry.
"Even from school, growing up with kiss chase or whatever, it's been ingrained in our heads that boys will be boys and its harmless fun and no big deal and to brush things off. Like catcalling. To some it might not seem a lot, but it affects your mood, people get embarrassed about the way they dress."
"For lots of females, be it actresses, singers, models, no matter what it is, it's not being able to have the right to dress and wear how and what you want and be taken seriously."
She added that she was currently working on her second album. "It's very much dance crying," she said. "It is a pop album that you're going to be able to dance to, but a lot of the songs are sad."

Do you want to own brand new landed properties under $3m? To the majority of Singaporeans, ownership of a landed property is a sign of "making it" and so is the ownership of a car.
If you would like to enter the scene of landed property owners, here are some of the deals you can close for $3 million or below.
Brand New Landed Properties Under $3m
1. Belgravia Villas
District 28, Belgravia Drive
Comprises of cluster landed houses grouped into inter-terrace, corner terrace and semi-detached units on freehold.
Belgravia Villas Price starts from about $2,430,000
The T.O.P. of Belgravia Villas is in early 2018. Its main advantage is the upcoming Seletar Aerospace Park that may drive rental prospects up once it is completed.
Currently, the development does not have an MRT station nearby, only has 1 bus stop and infrequent cabs.
This makes it suitable for residents who own cars, in which case getting to Ang Mo Kio hub only takes a drive of 10 minutes. Greenwich V is 5 minutes away while the upcoming North-South Expressway will provide quick access to the CBD.
Beneficial for:
Price appreciation: Right now, the prices are low due to the unfavourable location but owners may realise gains once the expressway and the aerospace park are complete.
Buyers can get high-end interiors and more space. Look out for Belgravia Villas phase 2 strata landed houses too.
2. Place-8
District 19, Paya Lebar Crescent
Comprises of 8 cluster houses on freehold.
Place-8 price is at about S$ 2,650,000.
Place-8 is well connected via Central Expressway (CTE) and Kallang Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE). There are many shopping areas nearby including Heartland Mall, NEX Shopping Mall, and Maplewood Park while the upcoming Paya Lebar Central is a few minutes away.
Brand New Landed Properties Under $3m
3. Nim Collection
District 28, Ang Mo Kio Ave 5
Comprises of 98 terraced, corner terrace and semi-detached houses with T.O.P. of 2021 and leasehold of 99 years.
Nim Collection price is not out yet but should be in the range of about S$2,500,000.
Each home has a built-in lift, 5 bedrooms and the attic has an open-air terrace.
The area is served by Nim Terrace, Nim Rise and Nim Road as well as CTE.
(Artist's Impression of Nim Collection)
4. Brooks Signature
District 26, Springside Avenue
Comprises of partially furnished terraces houses on freehold.
Brooks Signature price is roughly at about S2,856,000.
The development features an outdoor garden and a lap pool. Khatib MRT Station is nearby and so are various shopping centres such as Sheng Siong Supermarket, Giant Supermarket, Yishun Ten Complex and Northpoint Shopping Centre.
Car owners can reach the CBD and business hub via Seletar Expressway, Thomson Road, and Sembawang Road.
5. The Morris Residences
District 19, Paya Lebar Crescent
Comprises of 10 cluster houses of 4 and 5 bedrooms on a land area of 4,015 sq ft on freehold.
Morris Residences price is from approximately $2,750,000
The Morris Residences is near Kensington Square where Giant Supermarket is located.
Unlike other landed homes that are a bit far from the shopping centers, this is a few minutes walk from a supermarket. NEX at Serangoon is a few minutes drive away.
It features a balcony pool and a Ken-jo lift.
Brand New Landed Properties Under $3m ~ 6. Watercove
District 27, Wak Hassan Drive
Comprises of low-rise cluster houses with each unit having 5 – 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms on a built-up area of 3,466 sqft.
Watercove price starts from roughly $2,301,000
With a T.O.P. of 2020, Watercove is among the latest developments and it is moving fast with its developer, Bukit Sembawang Estates, having sold more than 25 of its 80 units.
The houses have a seafront, roof terrace barbecues and lift to the terrace.
However, you will need to take a bus to Sembawang MRT, there are no shopping centres nearby, and the CBD is 40 minutes drive away.
Great if you want to stay away from the city and you value seafront living.

When should I arrive?
Our services start at , however we encourage people to arrive early as we have events & items to check out at the Promotion Table, coffee to enjoy at the MBC Cafe, information about the church at the Welcome Desk, & a children's check-in process that you'll want to make sure to go through if you have kids with you. So feel free to arrive 20 minutes before the service you plan to attend.
Is there a certain door to enter?
There are 3 main entrances (west, north, east) to the main building. Each of these doors will have a greeter that will not only welcome you into the building, but would be able to help you find the welcome desk to answer any other questions you might have about MBC.
What's available for kids on Sunday mornings?
We offer Sunday School during each service throughout the school year for kids ranging from newborn through 5th grade. Sunday School is then offered in the summer months for kids in the nursery through preschool, the K-5th graders join the rest of the church in worship services during the summertime.
What happens during a worship service?
First off, both of our worship services have the same songs and sermons, so feel free to join us for either one! We typically start our services with a few announcements of upcoming events followed by a Scripture reading that calls us to worship. Then we sing songs that point us to the truth of the gospel, teach sound doctrine, and remind us of the work of Christ. We typically sing 4-5 songs during this time.
After we finish singing, we then have the reading of the Bible passage that will be preached that morning. Upon finishing the reading of the passage, the preacher will say, "This is God's Word", and the congregation responds, "Amen & amen." This is in line with Nehemiah 8 as Ezra completes the reading of the Scriptures & the people respond in Nehemiah 8:6, "Amen, Amen!" to the reading.
MBC sermons are preached from an expositional approach, meaning that the sermon seeks to highlight the point of that specific passage. As we understand the point of the passage, we then move to applying and exhorting in light of that truth. A typical MBC sermon will last 30-35 minutes. We then move to a time of response through singing.
The song that we sing to conclude our service is to reflect the truth of the passage just preached. After singing we end with the reminder of our church's mission by reading it together: "We are on a mission superior to all other missions. To make known the gospel so that those who don't know Christ would come to know Christ & that those who do know Christ would grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ to the glory of God."
How often do you take communion?
The first, third & fifth Sunday of each month, we take time after the sermon to take communion. MBC believes that this is an act of worship for Christians and is to be taken seriously by confessing sin before God, reflecting on the finished work of Christ, and rejoicing that Christ is victorious over sin and death.
What else happens with MBC through the week?
We have discipleship classes on Sunday evenings, youth group meets on Sunday nights, community groups that meet all over the Yakima valley throughout the week in various homes, women's Bible studies that meet on Tuesdays, our children's ministry has AWANA on Wednesday nights during the school year, and we have a prayer gathering in North Portable 1 on Wednesday nights. These are all opportunities to meet on a weekly basis, and other opportunities take place through specific ministries.
What safety measures are taken at MBC on Sundays?
Memorial Bible Church is committed to providing a safe environment for you and your family to worship. We have a security team that is committed to protecting your family and those attending Memorial Bible Church. The security team has members that have law enforcement and military experience. We are committed to providing up to date training, so that our members are equipped to protect your family in any situation. The security team is headed up by Associate Pastor Bryan Elliott who has law enforcement experience. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Bryan Elliott at email@example.com.
Also, all of our children's programs require children to be checked in. Your child will receive a name tag that shows any medical concerns or allergies. The name tag also includes a security code on it. As the parent or guardian, you will receive another tag with a security code on it that matches the child's security code. Your tag with the code must be presented and match the child's code before the child is released from the care of Memorial Bible Church. This is to ensure the safety of your child by only having the person with the security tag be able to pick up your child. Our security team monitors the children's areas and the church building as a whole.

8-Year-Old on Bike Killed in Hit-and-Run on Dangerous Street
View Larger MapThe Chicago Tribune is reporting on a particularly tragic and unfortunate story of 8-year old Mariella Crisostomo who was killed while riding her bike in front of her house in the Chicago Lawn Neighborhood. According to reports, Mariela was killed when she was struck by a gray or silver SUV who then fled the scene. The driver of the SUV was a female who then fled east on West 62nd Place.
Equally troubling are new reports from the Chicago Sun-Times that neighbors had petitioned the city for speed bumps to slow traffic in the 3300 block of West 62nd Place on the Southwest Side. Neighbors report that the narrow residential street has been part of a traffic pattern in vehicles circle the neighborhood while waiting to pick up shoppers on 63rd Street.
Speed bumps are a type of what are known as "traffic control" or "traffic calming" measures. Not only do speed bumps cause the vehicles to slow down, but they also act as a visual warning and reminder for vehicles to be alert and aware. Attorney Mike Keating of Keating Law Offices successfully representing an Aurora family whose son was killed in the parking lot of the apartment building where the family lived. Just like in this instance neighbors had complained of traffic problems and requested speed bumps. That case resolved in a financial settlement for the family in 2009.
The City of Chicago has some difficult questions to answer in light of these developments. Speed bumps, signs, marking on the street and other traffic calming measures are neither expensive nor difficult to install. These measures can transform entire neighborhoods. Given the warnings, it is difficult not to ask if this tragic collision would have been avoided with traffic calming measures in place.
As a parent and an attorney representing victims of collisions, this is a particularly sad story. Mariella did nothing wrong and was merely doing what she loved, riding her bike in the neighborhood. Also troubling is that reports reflect that the Chicago Police were slow in responding to the scene. The thoughts and prayers of everyone at Keating Law Offices is with the Crisostomo family.
If you have any questions regarding this post or an issue involving Illinois personal injury law, please contact Illinois Bicycle Attorney Mike Keating at 312-208-7702 or email@example.com 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All e-mails and phone calls are returned promptly. All initial consultations are confidential and free.

New Job at Probiotics International Limited!
'm celebrating!
Having spent 2 and 1/2 wonderful years at the Soil Association (the UK's leading organic certification body and charity campaigning for sustainable food and farming and access to good food for all), I have made the decision to move on to a new challenge. I'll miss everyone at Soil a lot, but I'm super excited that from July onwards I will be the new Technical Advisor for Probiotics International Limited (PIL), working 3 days a week. PIL are the manufacturers of the Bio-Kult and Lepicol probiotic ranges and are at the forefront of research into the gut microbiome (a favourite subject of mine!)
In the role I'll be keeping up to date with all the latest scientific developments in gut health, writing articles for consumer, trade and practitioner publications, helping PIL develop new probiotic products, training staff on gut health and dealing with any technical queries from customers.
Don't worry though, I'll still be seeing my Fine Feather Nutrition clients 2 days a week and in the evenings, so book in for a consultation if you feel you could do with a bit of extra nutritional support.

Easyclus© is based on years of experience with handling large amounts of flow cytometric monitoring data. A lot of research, further improvement and development of new algorithms have been acquired to process multivariate flow cytometric datasets automatically and efficiently. To accelerate and improve the use of flowcytometry, robust and objective data analysis software is required.
Easyclus© can handle data of a lot of cytometric instruments and is especially optimized for phytoplankton data of CytoSense flowcytometers (CytoBuoy bv).
Figure 1: Each particle is characterized by signal profiles, like a finger print. EasyClus groups these fingerprints belonging to specific algae types. Results can be validated by images. Groups of similar fingerprints are stored in a database. Cell sizes, biovolumes, cell concentrations, biomass, chlorophyll and biodiversity indicators are extracted from the cytometric data by EasyClus.
GPS synchronization by EasyClus of online flowcytometry data and Ferrybox data equipped with fluorescence sensors.
Figure 2: The sum of chlorophyll fluorescence of each particle (FCM) correlates strongly with the total chlorophyll concentration analyzed by traditional techniques. Interpolation between data points is easily performed by EasyClus. High frequent online analysis is one of the advantages of flow cytometry. Direct analysis of fresh biological samples without transportation and changes within the samples, is another important advantage.
Easyclus LIVE© is the online flowcytometric analyses e.g. near a river, on a ship or on a platform in a lake combined with realtime data processing and reportage to the internet. Results and the instrument status can be watched on an internet website (also by smartphone) just a few seconds after analysis.
Figure 3: Upper left: traffic lights tells you the status of the instrument. In the middle: bars represent the contribution of several size algae fractions in water (count/ml, chlorophyll/ml). Automatic clustering of species groups is done resulting in scatter plots with different groups of algae. Right bottom: Biodiversity changes based on found flow cytometric groups represents the changes in the diversity of algae. Low values mean that only a few species dominates in the water.
Results of the phytoplankton monitoring can also be observed easily by smartphone without high download sizes, because the files are kept extremely small.

German Studies
German is spoken by more Europeans than any other language: it is spoken in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and is very helpful when traveling in parts of Belgium, Luxembourg, France and Eastern Europe. Germany, Switzerland and Austria have made vital contributions to every aspect of culture. You cannot study drama without studying Brecht, film without Fritz Lang or Rainer Werner Fassbinder, philosophy without Kant or Hegel, psychology without Freud, music without Bach or Mozart, art without Dürer or the Expressionists, or modern architecture without Bauhaus, to give only a few examples. A reading knowledge of German can enhance your studies in history, philosophy, classics, music, art history, drama and many other disciplines.
Within the European Union, Germany is not only the most populous country, it also has the largest economy of the member states. It continues to be among the world's largest contributors in research and development.
The program also offers a selection of courses in which knowledge of German is not required. These courses are HUMN*3020 (Myth and Fairy Tales in Germany) and HUMN*3470 (Holocaust & WWII in German Lit. & Film).
Every year, regular faculty is joined by teaching assistants from Germany who bring further diversity to the program, through their language seminars and a course on contemporary culture and current affairs in Germany.
Major/Minor Requirements
The requirements for a minor in German Studies can be found in the Undergraduate Calendar.
Study Abroad
Whatever your major, once you have completed two years of German language, you may spend a year at a German university and collect credits towards your degree at Guelph.

Monopoly Once Around Deluxe Introduction
If you've ever played Monopoly, you'll feel right at home with Once Around Deluxe from WMS, one of the many free pokies we have available here. With five reels and 15 paylines, this pokie is based faithfully on the classic board game, and during its bonus feature will have you rolling dice, buying property and collecting the rent!
All the symbols on the reels represent the classic and modern icons of the game, including familiar tokens such as the Top Hat, the Boot, the Dog, the Racing Car and the recently introduced Cat, as well as the Utilities symbols, Community Chest and Chance and of course the well-known moustachioed Millionaire.
Of course, it's the Millionaire who's Wild in this game, and he'll substitute for any symbol apart from the bonus (the dice), the Community Chest and Chance symbols. He pays out too - based on a minimum bet of 0.15 credits, five of a kind will get you 200 credits, four will pay ten, three will pay two and one Millionaire will return 0.20 credits. But three or more of a kind will also trigger the bonus game, and that's where the fun begins.
It's Monopoly Time!
When the bonus is triggered, you get to play the game for real. Select the token you want to use for your deluxe stroll around the classic board. But before you start to play, stop by and build up your properties with houses and hotels as side bets. Just like the board game, you can buy four houses, with the fifth being a hotel, and you'll place them on any of the streets on the board.
When you're ready and set, you can start the bonus game. Roll the dice and watch your token being taken around the board, where you get to pick up rent checks on the way. Once you've gone past the Go square, the bonus ends, but if you're lucky enough to land on the Go square, then the bonus is re-triggered and you go twice around, with all awards doubled.
Collect Those Wins
The number of winning combinations available in this pokie is comparatively generous. Of the other symbols familiar to Monopoly players, the Community Chest and Chance symbols are the best-paying - based on a minimum bet of 0.15 credits, each will pay 30, 3 or 0.75 credits for five, four or three of a kind. Next comes the Race Car, (7.00, 1.25 an 0.50), the Dog, (6.00, 1.00 an 0.40) and the Boot, (5.00, 0.75 and 0.20).
Even a mixed combination of these three will yield a small payout. Lower-paying symbols include the Ring, Train and Free Parking, as well as the Electric and Water utilities symbols and also the Bonus symbol. The art, graphics and animations on this pokie will make you smile, especially if you choose the highest-paying rent checks during the Bonus game sequence and watch those winnings accumulate.
Even if you're not a Monopoly aficionado, the background sounds, jazzy music and big city atmosphere make this pokie an all-round fun experience.
