Allergen and germ removal systems
Allergen [: any substance that can cause an allergy or that is capable of stimulating hypersensitivity] i.e. smoke, volatile organic compounds (VOC) from vehicles interior materials and organic odours
Germs [: a micro-organism (infectious agent) especially a pathogen] i.e. bacteria and other bio-pollutants.
Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is a sterilization method that uses short wavelength ultraviolet (UV) light at to break down microorganisms. The application of UVGI to sterilization has been an accepted practice since the mid-20th century. It has been used primarily in medical sanitation and sterile work facilities. [1]
New Car Smell
Is the common term for the odour that comes from the combination of materials used and out gassing of vinyl plasticisers, and various adhesives (including those used on finished leather) that are found in new automobiles Many health care professionals regard the volatile chemical compounds pose a health risk in such a confined area.
The new-car smell emanates largely from chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, that leach from glues, paints, vinyls and plastics in the passenger compartment. The fumes can trigger headaches, sore throats, nausea and drowsiness. Prolonged exposure to some of the chemicals can lead to cancer, though there's no evidence linking that to concentrations in cars.
Critics liken the problem to so-called sick-building syndrome, which traces some illnesses to similar agents seeping from the walls, carpets and fixtures of new buildings.
The presence of bacteria and mould in vehicle interiors
Dr. Charles P. Gerba and Sheri L. Maxwell set out to test the presence of bacteria and mould in vehicle interiors. There were 100 vehicles involved in the test in the states of Illinois, Arizona, Florida, California and Washington, D.C., to provide a good cross-section of climatic conditions across the country. The following lists some of the results of their testing's.
Most germs present:
1. Radio knob
2. Seat belt
3. Window opener
4. Steering wheel
5. Car seat
Places with most Staphylococcus. aureus (most common form of Staph infections):
1. Steering wheel
2. Seat belt
3. Cup holder
4. Dash board
5. Window opener
Most mould spores:
1. Cup holder
2. Food spills
3. Change holder
4. Dash board
5. Steering wheel
Cities with the most bacteria in vehicles (from a select sample):
1. Tucson, AZ
2. Oakland/Pleasanton, CA
3. Chicago
4. Washington, D.C.
5. Tampa, FL
Odour Neutralizer / Deodorizing
Many odours are caused by micro-organisms such as bacteria, mould, and mildew. First start by cleaning all the interior surfaces; but remember shampooing alone will not eradicate these odours. You eliminate dour-causing organisms with very specialized chemicals.
Look for stains, if there are no stains, use the process of elimination; it is very effective when searching for the source of an odour; floor or seats, mats or carpet? If the vehicle has velour upholstery, a spill can penetrate on contact. If it is vinyl or leather, it will run to the deepest seam. Pay special attention to the headliner and all glass surfaces
Most of these products (i.e. Fabreeze) do not eliminate germs or allergens they merely provide a cover-up scent to mask odours
Cabin Air Filter
We all know the problem. The fans blow in everything that belongs outside; gaseous pollutants like ozone, nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide, hydrocarbons, as well as dust, soot and pollen all have free access to the vehicle. Cabin filters, on the other hand, clean the incoming airflow before they reach the vehicle's interior, thus guaranteeing healthy fresh air
Cabin air filters first appeared back in the mid-1980s on Audi and other European makes. Today, about 80 percent of all new import and domestic vehicles have a cabin air filter. They absorb up to 100% of all pollen, dust particles and harmful substances. This results in a noticeable improvement in the air quality inside the vehicle. Cabin filters are generally found in one of three locations: under the hood, inside the glove box or under the dashboard.
The filter can trap pollen, dust, smoke and other pollutants that would otherwise enter the vehicle through the outside vents causing allergy and discomfort due to undesirable smells.
The recommended replacement interval for a cabin air filter depends on the type of filter being replaced. (Carbon or paper) and the cabins filter exposure to the environment and mileage driven.
Most vehicle manufacturers do recommend replacing a paper or carbon activated filter once a year or every 10,000 to 12,000 miles to keep the cabin filter working at its highest efficiency. Check vehicle owner's manual for location
Activated charcoal cabin filters. These filters have an extra layer of activated carbon that reacts with odours and other airborne pollutants to neutralize them before they enter the vehicle. The charcoal activated filters will also reduce the levels of CO2 (carbon monoxide) and NO2 (oxides of nitrogen) from the emissions of other vehicles on the road.
Bosch Cabin Filters - and charcoal activated filters absorb up to 100% of all pollen, dust particles and harmful substances. Cabin Filter recommended replacement is every 12,000 to 15,000 miles, or once a year will keep the cabin filter working at its highest efficiency
A little 'light' Cleaning
A new technology developed by University of Tokyo professor Fujishima Akira is attracting a lot of attention. Fujishima uses photo catalysts and irradiation to break down chemicals. In addition to helping make anti-bacterial tile and air-purification devices, other promising applications of this photo catalyst technology continue to come to light.
The Nano Titanium dioxide (Tio2) photo catalytic decomposition process requires ultra violet (UV-A) radiation exposure to create hydroxyl radicals, which will oxidize oxygen or organic materials directly, thereby sterilizing and deodorizing germs and allergens for long-lasting effects and anti-soiling purposes. Generally speaking, disinfections by titanium oxides are three times stronger than chlorination, and 1.5 times stronger than ozone treatment.
This type of coating transforms any surface into anti-bacterial; anti-fungal; mold free surface, purifying the surrounding air and provides protection from environmental contamination.
The film will decompose all kinds or micro-organic matters, like bacteria, viruses, mold, formaldehyde, benzene, xylene, ammonia, volatile organic compound (VOC) tough odors etc and have been proven to combat Bird Flu and SARS infections in high risk areas like Hospitals and Medical treatment facilities.
Using the latest in photo catalytic technology DrivePur can quickly and effectively remove pet odors, smoke odors, food odors, germs, bacteria, mold, mildew, stains and other contaminants from the interior. Symptom that occurs from prolonged exposure to microbes that grow in automobile interiors, the presence of the microbes causes similar reactions as sick building syndrome. Some of the examples of odour molecules are: tobacco odor, formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide, urine odor, gasoline, and many other hydrocarbon molecules in the atmosphere.
DrivePur is a three step process:
· Changes the chemistry of tar and nicotine as well as working on high pH odours
· Antibacterial odour neutralizers for low pH odours
· Tio2 - "The insurance policy the odour will not comeback.
Using specialized spray-coating equipments (Tornador) a fine mist <5 µ of a water-based Ti02 photo catalyst that can be applied on different types of surface material that forms a nano structure of protection and guarantees the maximum result.
DrivePur Protection Systems
1. Smoke is very effective at eliminating cigarette and all other tobacco odors. It has the ability to penetrate, seek out, and react with the components of tobacco smoke. It dissolves and converts most into water-soluble molecules without causing damage to fabrics, materials, or hard-surfaces.
2. Shock is designed to provide thorough cleaning and elimination of Bio-Pollution in vehicle interiors. It is very effective on vehicle AC systems and will assist other DrivePur products in preventing contamination of treated vehicle surfaces
3. Prevent is a nano formulated photo catalytic surface treatment that turns vehicle interiors into light activated air and surfaces scrubbers. It helps vehicles eliminate most objectionable organic odors, germs, bacteria and other Bio-Pollutants.
a) PŪRWorld is a spray application deodorizing product (not a cover-up sent); hydroxyl radicals are among the strongest oxidizing species, even much stronger than chlorine, ozone, and peroxide. They act as very powerful disinfecting agents by oxidizing the cells of microorganisms, causing rupture and leakage of vital composition.
They accelerate the breakdown by destroying the molecular bonds. This will help combine the organic gases to form a single molecule that is not harmful to humans thus enhance the air cleaning efficiency.
b) Aquartz - So2Pure (Clean Air), this is not a perfume cover-up type product but an advanced high grade air purification coating based on the latest nano-science technology photo catalyst. In the presence of light, active oxygen is formed and excited on the treated surfaces to destroy all micro-sized air pollutants, including petro fumes, smog, diesel smoke, exhaust gases, industrial smoke, chemical off-gassing or VOCs from car fabric, leather and plastic materials, air toxins, cigarette odours, etc.
c) Biocide Systems - Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) is a potent oxidizer that literally uses oxygen to break up odour molecules. This sort of oxidizing action is found in many chemicals, but ClO2 is one of the most effective. ClO2 gas is especially good at oxidizing organic odour-causing substances, including Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). It does not mask them like perfumes do, it neutralizes them through oxidation and is very effective
d) Ozium® air sanitizer - does not cover up the odours associated with pets, cooking and smoking. The original air purifier is a chemical agent that actually eliminates smoke and unpleasant odours and reduces airborne bacteria. It actually cleanses the air through glycolized action. The glycolized formula acts directly on odour causing particles in the air. Ozium is an EPA registered air sanitizer and is safe to use residentially or commercially in homes, rental property, hospitals, nursing homes, hotels, veterinary clinics, restaurants, bars, laundry rooms, cars, mobile homes, offices, and just about anywhere there might be an odour problem.
Application method- spray product onto cleaned surfaces, turn the AC to recirculation mode, spray return air ducts (clean or change cabin air filter) allow to run for approx 5 minutes, allow the deodorizer to permeate the various surfaces for about an hour before using the vehicle.

This general introduction to the study of the Chinese language traces its history from its beginings in the second millennium BC to the present day and provides a clear picture of the contemporary language and its sociolinguistic status. Chinese in its numerous dialect forms, has more speakers than any language in the modern world, and this vast extension in time and space brings to its study an exceptional complexity. Nevertheless, Professor Norman handles this extraordinary range of material with a deftness of organization and lucid elegance of style that make his book of real interest to any reader with only an elementary knowledge of linguistics. It includes information on the genetic and typological connections of Chinese, traditional Chinese phonology, the writing system, the classical and early vernacular languages, the modern language and the non-standard dialects, and the history of linguistic reform in China, concluding with a discussion of present and future prospects.

A little girl from Galilee knows Jesus as the Messiah because she experienced Jesus' resurrection power in her own life.Listen Now
And he said, "The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life."Luke 9:22
Girl (about 12 years old)
Crowd 1 (outdoor)
and Crowd 2 (inside mourners)
At Easter we celebrate Jesus resurrection from the dead. People find it hard to believe that anyone can come back from the dead. But a little girl from Galilee believed because she experienced Jesus' resurrection power in her own life. (Music up) (SFX - Large exterior crowd murmur. Outdoor ambience.)
(Walla): I think he's a prophet. I heard John the Baptist say he was the Lamb of God. I don't know what to believe. This rabbi is certainly a great teacher. No one would doubt that. He sure knows how to draw a crowd.
(talking to himself) It looks like everyone in Galilee came to see Jesus. How will I ever find my master Jairus?
(Exterior commotion)
There he is. Oh, That must be Jesus. I wonder why he is talking to that woman. (Talking forcefully to crowd) Make way, I am a servant of Jairus. Move aside! Move aside. Look out, I have important news for Jairus.
Walla, of reaction to servant moving through the crowd.
Woman, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.
My master, I have just come from the bedside of your daughter.
(nervous) What is her condition?
(quietly) Master, we don't need to bother the teacher any more.
Why? Why don't we need Jesus any more?
Sir, your daughter is dead. I will take you home now. The mourners are already gathering.
(Beginning to weep) Jesus, I was too late, if only you would have come sooner….
Please master, Let's go now.
Jairus, don't be afraid, just believe.
(with emotion) Jesus, I do believe. But (big sigh and then talking to the servant) Make preparations for the Teacher. We are coming home. (Music transition)
(Group outside mourning)
Why all the noise? This crying needs to stop. The girl is not dead, just asleep.
(sarcastic laugher with Walla reaction): "Doesn't he know she's dead". Some teacher. "Has he no respect for our ruler's grief". I've heard this Man stirs up trouble every where He goes. I can't believe our Synagogue leader would bring this rabbi to his home.
Jairus, our child is dead, not asleep. What does this mean?
Teacher, what should we do?
Let's go to the child. Alone. Tell everyone to leave the house.
(raising His voice) Please we need you all to go outside. Please, give us some time alone with our daughter.
(Walla as crowd walks out): This is strange. This isn't our custom. We'll be right outside waiting for you.
This way Jesus. (SFX - Footsteps entering room)
Here she is. We did all we could for her. (sobs)
(aside to his wife) Look the master has taken her hand. I believe he can do a miracle. Maybe he will bring her back to us.
Jairus, No one can raise the dead!
(whisper) Talitha koum.
Talitha koum? What is he saying? Little girl, get up? But she can't. (sobbing) Jairus, What kind of teacher is this?
(big breath) (sleepy surprise) Who are you?
Jairus, I must be seeing things?
No. Our little girl lives. She lives!
Mother? Father? Why am I in bed when the sun is shining? (SFX - Girl gets out of bed walks to window)
(overjoyed) Did you hear that? Yes, the sun is shining. Jesus, thank you. Thank you.
Mother, why are all those people here? And they're crying. Daddy, did someone die?
We thought someone died, but … Oh, Jesus, thank you. Thank you!
What should we do now?
Someone should get this little girl something to eat!
Yes. I'm hungry!
Jesus, we need to tell the crowd about this miracle. That will teach them to laugh at you. We'll tell them all about your power.
(firm) No. No bragging about this. Not now. I don't want any of you to speak about these things. (Music transition)
Later that night Jesus and his disciples talked about the miraculous things they had seen Jesus do. (SFX - Outside at night, wood fire)
James looked like quite a fisherman carrying that basket full of fish. (SFX - Group of men laugh.)
To think, five loaves and two fish would feed such a large crowd.
Who would have believed any of the miracles we've seen.
Hundreds healed. Thousands feed.
Even the dead raised to life.
And the crowds still don't know who Jesus is.
Peter, who do the crowds think I am?
Some think you are the prophet Elijah, others say you are John the Baptist brought back to life.
But what do you say Peter. Who do you say I am? (Music fades up and in)
You are the Christ… The Son of God.
Listen to me. You must not tell this to anyone.
Yes Jesus.
I'll keep quiet, but why? Why not tell everyone?
I have some news for you. We are going to go up to Jerusalem soon. When we get there the Son of Man will suffer many things at the hands of the religious leaders. They will kill me. But on the third day I will be raised to life. (Music - up and out)

Species Crossing in Oncomelania 1
The four species of Oncomelania, namely, O. quadrasi, O. formosana, O. nosophora, and O. hupensis of the orient were successfully interbred in all 12 possible species-crossing combinations, including the male and female reciprocal matings. Fertile hybrids resulted from all the crossings. In addition, a male hybrid resulting from an O. formosana + O. hupensis cross was crossed to a female O. nosophora.
The hybrids from the species crossings had characteristics which were intermediate to those of the parents as well as representing those of the parents. Although no dominant or recessive characters were evident, the bright yellow, coarse, compact "eyebrows" of O. quadrasi + O. formosana appeared more frequently than the light yellow, fine "eyebrow" pigment of the other species. The prominent shell ridges of O. hupensis appeared infrequently in the hybrids. The most successful crossing was obtained in the O. hupensis + O. formosana matings.

A Boutique Music Marketing Agency for Everyone
illumie launched in the Summer of 2015. Our goal was simple, give artists the ability to market themselves – no middle man. After two years of growing our platform and building our audience, we ran into a few bumps. As non-technical founders, we realized the road ahead was full of more than a few bumps. After losing our lead Engineer, we had some tough decisions to make. Do we continue to build our vision for music content publishing or do we shut it down and prevent further losses?
The later was our choice.
It was a tough moment for us as the founding team. After years of development, working day in and day out to grow, you never want to see your hard work go to the trash. The alternative wasn't much of an option. Our operational costs staggered and any sign of profitability felt eons away. The call was made – we shut it down.
And just like that, illumie was gone from existence. We knew it was the best decision for the company but our goal, our mission still was in the back of our heads. The question remained:
How do we pivot and re-create something that helps musicians share their creations?
One day the lightbulb clicked-on. Coming from a world of digital advertising in the entertainment space, we had the signs right in front of us. We could help musicians market themselves by reaching fans where they already live: social media. At that point, the pivot became real and we went right to work.
illumie 2.0 was born.
We created an entire breakdown of capabilities using our expertise. Our focus is digital with an emphasis on social media marketing. The key for us was creating agency-style services that any musician could access without the agency price tag. From single projects to entire monthly campaigns, illumie has something for every musician. Whether you're looking to grow your streaming following on Spotify or you want to reach your fans on Instagram Stories, we can do it.
The team is beyond excited for this new direction. Our new path still pays homage to our old one: help musicians grow. We're excited to have you join us and welcome you to reach out if you need any help in the music marketing world.

New Escape Room adventures are opening in NYC as fast as they can be built. And experience shows that each project for a new Escape Room is created with a wide assortment of requirements. Working with a list of carpenters, fabricators, and artists, high-quality Escape Rooms are developed with props all the while accounting for satisfactory spares, ease of use and fortification for high use. Some can be built for a one-set experience or multiple productions– just about whatever it is needed for.

A few posts ago I talked about our attempted but failed trip to Phu Chi Fah. Well this time, the weekend of January 14th, we were going to make it happen no matter what. We took the advice of the man we met at the Chiang Rai bus station (see previous post) and tried to get the bus from Thoeng Station since it was much closer and also less money.
Emma and I rode our bikes to the bus station around 11 hoping to catch the bus around 11:30 or 12. Learning from our previous lessons, we brought our bike locks and allowed ourselves some extra time to ensure that our bike rack was there and ready to use. After we got there, we locked up our bikes and sat down to wait for the bus. We sat for a while and no bus showed , so we eventually asked someone who told us it would be coming soon. This time it was late (classic Thai time), and we hopped on after clarifying that the bus would be stopping at Thoeng. It was pretty chilly that morning, we were both in leggings and our handy dandy Patagonia jackets and also brought plenty of layers for our hike.
After getting off the bus at Thoeng, I went up to the counter to ask when the next van to Phu Chi Fah would be here. He did a quick scan of the area and pointed to 15 minutes later on the clock. Wow! Had we really figured it out this time? We sat down and waited excited about the prospect of actually figuring this transportation system out. Aaaand 15 minutes later a driver arrived, however it was a songthaew driver and not the cheap van we had been promised. At this point we didn't care, we were going to get to Phu Chi Fah and were going to pay the extra if it meant us getting there. We hopped into the songthaew for another mountainous journey but were just so excited we would finally be getting to this little mountain treasure. When we arrived in the town, our driver drove around to a few of the guesthouses to help us find the best price (how sweet!!!) until we finally settled on this little guesthouse up a rather steep hill for a good price. It was sooo chilly, and our room was even colder. We immediately layered up with our hats and gloves we had bought the last time we thought we would be hiking and headed out to get something warm to eat. We found a shop with hot chocolate and warm soup so we sat down to eat that over a beautiful but foggy view of the valley. It was a little bland but we were grateful to have some food with no trace of mystery meat in it.
There really isn't much to do in the town of Phu Chi Fah. There is the little main drag that most of the guesthouses are off of, a few restaurant-esque places, and a ton of stalls selling Cup-o-Noodles (Thai version of course), gloves, hats and other layers for the unprepared tourists making the trip. After walking through the town very quickly, and figured we might as well hike the trail during the day before we did it in the dark for sunrise. We found a pick up truck at the bottom of the road that would take us up to the entrance point of the hike for a few baht. We laughed as we thought about how anywhere else it would absolutely not be ok to hop in the back of a strangers pick up truck to get a ride up the mountain, but in Thailand it is the norm. It was about a 10 or 15 minute drive up to the base where there were even more vendors selling Cup O Noodles and winter gear, but we were ready and decided to send it up the mountain. The hike was definitely a little steeper than I expected, but absolutely doable. Honestly, the most challenging part was that most of the hike is patches of mud which can get pretty slippery. We got up in under 30 minutes and were impressed by the view considering the hike was pretty short. It was really foggy (seems to be a trend) but beautiful nonetheless and it got us even more excited to hike up for the sunrise the next day. We headed back down to our guesthouse to warm up and pass some time before getting an early dinner.
It really was so cold– I know it's hard to believe if you're reading this back home… but I was wearing leggings, a long sleeve t-shirt, a sweater, my Patagonia fleece, my jacket, ski socks, a hat and hiking boots– and was COLD! I snuggled up under the fuzzy blanket provided by the guesthouse and began to write in my journal to pass some time…and what do you know, my pen, the only pen we managed to bring, ran out of ink. So classic but you really have to laugh! Emma tried to find something English on t.v. but our only option was some advertisement channel or something along those lines. We tried entertaining ourselves a bit longer but were so bored we headed back out to walk through town again. We ended up going back to the same place we had eaten lunch but this time managed to communicate that we would like vegetarian fried rice and it was delish! Lots of flavor! After, we stopped by the banana rotee man we had been eyeing all day and got 2 banana rotee to go to eat back in our beds under the warm-ish blankets.
Our alarms went off the next morning at 3:45, and despite being wrapped in all those layers, it was pretty painful to get up out of bed. We got up, put the very last of our layers on and headed down the hill to wait for one of the trucks to bring us up to the hike. We found a few drivers waiting on the main road, so after a few minutes of just staring at each other one of the drivers told us to get in the bed of his pickup truck and we waited for more people to join us. It was close to pitch black, and we were slightly confused why we were told to be here so early, but we wouldn't miss the sunrise for anything so we stuck to the safe side. Eventually the truck took off with us and another family and we headed up to the base where we started the hike yesterday. We took off and started our short hike up to the top. We didn't realize, but somehow we ended up in front of all the other people hiking up and were the first ones to the top even before 5 am. Once we got up we realized how long we would be waiting for the sun to come up and were not super excited to be sitting in the cold that long. Slowly but surely more and more people came up the mountain and we got closer to sunrise (which would be around 6:30 AM). The mountain got PACKED, but despite it being so crowded we were 2 of maybe 5 farang (foreigners) at the top. Everyone else were Thai tourists. The sun finally began to come up and although we did not get much of a sunrise, the view of the surrounding mountains early in morning covered by fog was spectacular. It almost looked like islands in the sea. It was unlike anything I had ever seen in my life, and all of the trials and tribulations to get there that morning were all worth it. We took lots and lots of pictures, and lots of pictures were taken of us also. One older Thai lady grabbed my hand and handed Emma her camera and pulled me into a hug for a picture, and another group of ladies pulled us into their picture and had a full on photoshoot with us. I'm talking 10 minutes of straight smiling, posing, and being called "so sexi and beautiful" despite looking like a marshmellow. It can definitely be somewhat uncomfortable sometimes but this time it was pretty entertaining.
When Emma and I put in our request to be placed in Northern Thailand, we were hoping to be in the mountains surrounded by lots of National Parks and ample opportunities to hike. Although we are indeed veryyy far north in the middle of mountains and national parks, there is very little hiking here. Kind of a bummer since that's a main reason we wanted to be here, but it simply isn't a huge part of the culture here. Of course there is more hiking in the touristy areas, and there are plenty of opportunities to trek but as far as day hikes near us, there really aren't many. Phu Chi Fah was one of the few times we were actually able to hike (although short) and the views were absolutely worth the wait.
After our hike we headed back to the small town to grab something for breakfast and wait for our songthaew driver to come back for us. He was able to take us right back to Chiang Kham which made the price a little more, but it was worth it to get back to our town in a more direct way. It took a while to shake off the chill, but we eventually defrosted and had the rest of the day to prepare (both mentally and physically) for our next week of classes.
Stay tuned for more about Life in Chiang Kham! We are almost finished teaching!!!!

Superstorm Sandy aftermath: How to stay safe
More than 7.6 million homes across the East Coast in Superstorm Sandy's path have lost power, and many are still at risk as the storm front moves inland.
One of the hardest hit areas, New York City, had about 750,000 residents still without power on Tuesday morning.
"This will be one for the record books," John Miksad, senior vice president for electric operations at Consolidated Edison, said to the Associated Press. Consolidated Edison generates the power for most of the New York City area.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg added at a press conference on Tuesday morning that it may take two to three days for power to return to affected areas.
- Superstorm Sandy slams East Coast, leaving floods, millions without power
- Superstorm Sandy could boost hiring
- The entertainment industry takes a hit as Sandy wreaks havoc
While the power is out, the food in your refrigerator and freezer may be going bad. Your fridge can keep food cold for up to four hours if unopened, and your freezer can keep food cold for 48 hours if its full (24 hours if half-full,unopened). Grouping foods together can help keep them colder, and if you have coolers and ice, you can salvage some food while your power is out. If you can buy dry ice or block ice, you can keep your refrigerator and freezer cold.
Not all of your food needs to be lost forever because the power is out. Check out FoodSafety.gov's list of refrigerated and frozen food that may be safe even without electricity. For more on food safety during and after the storm, check out CBSNews.com's checklist.
One good piece of news for many New Yorkers was when Mayor Bloomberg said city tap water has been deemed safe, so people who have running water in New York City can drink safely. However, if you live in a building that water has been shut off and don't have bottled water, you may be able to use the remaining water in your taps, which should be clean, granted your electricity and hot water have been turned off, according to the Rhode Island Department of Health.
You can also purify questionable water by using eight drops of liquid chlorine bleach per one gallon clear water or 16 drops per one gallon of clouding water, the Connecticut Department of Health reported. Bleach should not have any perfumes or any ingredients besides sodium hypochlorite. You can also boil the water at a constant, rolling boil for one minute if possible. Make sure the water has no floating pieces in it, and let it sit for 30 minutes before consuming.
Do not drink tap water until it has been cleared by local authorities and well water unless it has been tested for total coliform bacteria, or bacteria found in the fecal mater of warm-blooded animals or organisms. While coliform bacteria do not cause illness, they usually indicate that there are other bacteria prthat do.
For more on safe drinking water tips, click here.
In case of any emergency, the CDC recommends you always have these items on hand.
- Several clean containers of water, large enough for a three-to-five day supply -- a gallon per person per day
- A supply of non-perishable foods that can last up to five days. Non-perishable foods may include peanut butter, protein bars, dry cereal or granola, nuts, crackers, canned juices and ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits and vegetables
- A first aid kit and manual
- A battery-powered radio, flashlights, and extra batteries
- Sleeping bags, extra blankets
- Water-purifying supplies, such as chlorine or iodine tablets or unscented, ordinary household chlorine bleach
- Prescription medicines and special medical needs
- Baby food and/or prepared formula, diapers, and other baby supplies
- Disposable cleaning cloths, such as "baby wipes" for the whole family to use in case bathing facilities are not available
- Personal hygiene supplies, such as soap, toothpaste, sanitary napkins, etc.

Seems silly that you can only access the images from the device in the iOs app, and not the Skitch notebooks. Why do I have to go into the Evernote app to do so? I do find in the Evernote app, all the annotation tools etc, so why the two apps? At this point, just make it seamless because Skitch really lost a lot of it's inherent usefulness for me. I want to be able to seamlessly go back to other annotated images from skitch. It seems you cannot do this. I miss the old skitch.

"Do we have any records from first-century 'journalists' who interviewed eyewitnesses, asked tough questions, and faithfully recorded what they scrupulously determined to be true?" (p. 20).
"[...] is it really possible to be an intelligent, critically thinking person and still believe that the four gospels were written by the people whose names have been attached to them?" (p. 22).
"But the uniform testimony of the early church was that Matthew, also known as Levi, the tax collector and one of the twelve disciples, was the author of the gospel in the New Testament; that Jon Mark, a companion of Peter was the author of the gospel we call Mark; and that Luke, known as Paul's 'beloved physician,' wrote both the gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles," (p. 22).
"Christians believe that as wonderful as Jesus' life and teachings and miracles were, they were meaningless if it were not...

This article on CMC's partnership with western Garfield County schools was published in the Glenwood Post Independent. By Will Grandbois.
When Jason Shoup graduated from Rifle High School in 1995, trades were still a big part of the curriculum, and he was able to go straight into welding.
"I was a certified welder right out of high school," Shoup recalled. "I knew that I was tired of school and wasn't destined to go to college. I knew I was destined to work with my hands. I had a good mentor who really helped me decide what I was going to do with my career."
In the years since then, it has proven difficult to keep welding instructors in local high schools. Even Colorado Mountain College has struggled in an economy that can make part-time positions untenable. Click for full article.

This is a shot of a bride and groom arriving at our local traditional Beijing restaurant for their wedding ceremony. This is the same restaurant in which Shanshan and I had our ceremony last June (pictures available here). They arrived in a Mercedes, with much of the wedding party following in Audis.
We, on the other hand, walked from our apartment to the restaurant for our ceremony. 🙂

Earlier this month, Apple kicked Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) while it was down, opting not to develop a version of iTunes optimized for Microsoft's ambitious new "Metro" interface. The Mac maker likely felt that it wouldn't be missing out on much, especially since the desktop version of iTunes could still be used in Windows 8, while Windows RT was the platform really getting left out in the cold.
Now Google's (NASDAQ:GOOGL) taking a shot at Microsoft by hindering the software giant's app availability, except this time we're talking about Windows Phone 8 as opposed to Windows 8. The search giant has been subtly trying to sabotage Windows Phone in various ways, including the refusal to make a native YouTube app for its rival's platform. As one of the most popular video content sources on the Internet, YouTube's official absence is a blow, even though there are unofficial and third-party apps available.
That's also in stark contrast to Google's stance with Apple, since it promptly released an official YouTube app for iOS shortly after Apple removed its own pre-installed version last year. It's a good thing for iOS users too, since Google's versions of its apps are actually better than the Apple-made ones anyway, including Google Maps.
Microsoft decided to take matters into its own hands and made its own unofficial version, tapping into available YouTube application programming interfaces, or APIs. Perhaps out of spite, Microsoft also went ahead and blocked all ads, which is YouTube's primary revenue source in the first place. Needless to say, Google was not impressed.
Big G has now sent a cease-and-desist letter to the Redmond giant, which The Verge got a hold of, requesting that Microsoft take down the app and disable existing installs. The ad revenue helps content owners monetize their content, so blocking ads hurts the entire YouTube ecosystem. Without a vibrant community of content creators posting videos, viewers and the world at large could be deprived of discovering the next Justin Bieber. That would be a tragedy.
In response, Microsoft has said it would be "more than happy" to include said ads if Google provides it with the necessary APIs. It seems that Google could theoretically continue blocking a Microsoft-made YouTube app by withholding these APIs, but Larry Page did call for the industry to stop being so negative toward each other, saying that's now how progress is made.
With Microsoft's YouTube app for Windows Phone, the ball is now in Google's court.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on Wednesday against five groups and eight individuals linked to Syria's chemical weapons programme, the department said in a statement.
The targeted groups and people were key to a network that procured electronics for the Syrian agency that develops the weapons, it said.
"Syria's horrific use of chemical weapons, including attacks against innocent women and children, remains deeply embedded in our minds," said Sigal Mandelker, Treasury undersecretary for terrorism.
"Today, we are continuing our campaign to stop the Assad regime's ruthless attacks by targeting the procurement networks that have supported its chemical weapons programme," he said.
Treasury said it coordinated its action with France, which earlier this week renewed an asset freeze on 24 entities and individuals for providing an array of support to the Syrian agency.
Among the companies Treasury designated is Electronics Katrangi Trading (EKT), an electronics supplier based in Lebanon with operations in Syria, Egypt, China and France.
Treasury called it a leading supplier for Syria's Scientific Studies and Research Center, the agency in charge of its chemical weapons programs.
Amir Katrangi, Maher Katrangi, Houssam Katrangi, Mohamad Katrangi, Mireille Chahine, are individuals linked to EKT who were among the people cited in the sanctions statement.

It has been so. incredibly. hot. in Washington lately. A trip to the beach was a very much-needed getaway from everything going on in life. I don't know what it is, but I just find sitting and staring at the ocean to be one of the most relaxing things in life. Worries washing out with the waves. So, to the ocean we went. Destination: Cape Disappointment, Washington.
Cape Disappointment, despite the name, is anything but disappointing. It is an incredibly gorgeous little area barely south of Long Beach, Washington, with beaches both sandy and rocky, hidden coves, and two lighthouses. We stumbled upon (well, I quite literally slid right into) Dead Man's Cove, where we ate lunch and my friend Ashley found a piece of driftwood shaped like a triceratops skull. I included a picture of her showing off her great find. Cape Disappointment has lots of beaches to enjoy, and I love all the driftwood structures people have put together on the beaches. It's also lush and green with plenty of trees and plants, including wild cucumbers! The scenery here shows off exactly why I love Washington so much.

Test-drive KIA Cerato
Test-drive of Kia Cerato can tell us that this car is solid, high-quality and inexpensive. This car can withstand any tests from us, even the city-based one or even the desert test-drive. The third generation of the most successful export sedan KIA was looking great among the sands and camels, palm trees and surrounded by ultra-modern architecture of Dubai. No less diverse and extreme were the driving modes, which tested the new KIA Cerato.
Those who see the new KIA Cerato for the first time, can easily be confused with the senior class of KIA Optima, and with striking coupe Cerato Koup. This tells us that the new Cerato got simultaneous presence in the exterior the lines of the young and sporty car, and the elusive charm of the business class.
Compared to the previous, the second generation, the new KIA Cerato looks almost like a celebrity. The new Cerato, no matter what the surrounding landscape, will always stand out, though at the same time its exterior is not that out-screaming. We may say that it has a universal appearance – a definite plus for globalization.

CCA remains winless on the field
By Chris Umscheid
North Liberty Leader
VAN HORNE– The long drought of wins continued for the Clear Creek Amana (CCA) Clippers last Friday evening as they went on the road to Benton Community and fell 23-20 in the closest game of the season.
The Bobcats scored in the fourth quarter to take the lead and a potential winning CCA score was wiped out by penalty in the closing minutes.
Nash Stopko scored on a 47-yard run in the first to tie the game after an early Benton Community touchdown. On Benton's 47-yard line, quarterback Dillon Villhauer attempted a rush, but ended up throwing a lateral to Stopko for the touchdown.
Stopko then recovered a Benton fumble and hauled it 75 yards to give CCA a 13-7 lead at the end of the first quarter.
A 3-yard run gave the Bobcats another touchdown with 6:36 to go in the half, and the good PAT kick made it a 14-13 ballgame favoring the home team. The Clippers retook the lead on a Villhauer bomb to Tanner Bandy for 53 yards and a touchdown. Sedlacek's kick was good and CCA had a 20-14 lead which held through the third quarter.
In the final period, the Bobcats picked up a safety, narrowing the gap to four points with 7:16 left to play. The kick-off went out of bounds and the ball was subsequently placed on the CCA 45 yard line. While it looked like Clipper defense was going to force Benton to go three and out, the Bobcats struck on fourth down and 7 yards to go with a 42-yard pass for the winning touchdown. The PAT was good and CCA was left with 5:36 to either tie or win.
With 1:56 remaining in the ballgame, Villhauer began the Clippers' last drive with a 4-yard pass to Moore from their own 25 yard line. An incomplete pass to Moore on second down led to Villhauer scrambling 71 yards to score what could have been the winning touchdown.
If not for a penalty.
A holding call negated the touchdown and moved the Clippers back 6 yards to the CCA 35 yard line. Villhauer had five incomplete passes, scrambled three times and was sacked once in a desperate bid to get back to the end zone.
With 24 seconds remaining, the Bobcats took the ball over on downs, and took a knee to end the night.
Villhauer was the leading rusher with 11 carries for 55 yards while Stopko carried twice for 43 yards. Villhauer completed 9-25 passes for 115 yards with two interceptions. Bandy caught four passes for 64 yards, Stopko got two for 36 and Moore had two for eight yards while Andrew Beckler caught one for seven.
Defensively, Jared Ganschow led with 21 total tackles, Jonathan Nzombo had 19, Moore was credited with 18 and Jake Swenka had 15.
The loss dropped CCA to 0-7 in Class 3A District 6 with Williamsburg and Mt. Vernon yet to be faced.
The Clippers will meet the Raiders Friday night at home.

Most estate plan packages include a financial power of attorney. This document is intended to make sure that if you become unable to manage your financial affairs, your nominated agent can take over.
But more and more frequently, banks and brokerage firms reject these attorney-drafted powers and insist their own forms be signed.
That's not a problem, unless you've already lost your capacity to sign such a document.
This can create a nightmare for relatives who urgently need to step in for an impaired parent or other family member.
So how can you get around this apparent roadblock?
First, insist on speaking with someone higher up the bank's chain of authority. This often will work.
If it doesn't, enlist the help of an attorney, who may be able to force the bank to accept the existing power of attorney.
It's a good practice to review all of your estate planning documents on a regular basis and make any updates required.
You can also contact the financial institutions you do business with and ask if they require their own power of attorney form. If so, get one and have it signed now.

After I shot this video and the Patreon cleared away the "Congrats You Launched" page you see above, I realized most of you who follow this blog on RSS or via email won't see this until Derby Day, not today, Kentucky Oaks Day.
Oops. Sorry.
Yup. I launched my Patreon page on Kentucky Oaks Day 2019.
Anyway, after years of MacGuyer telling me about Patreon, because he's a fan of founder Jack Conte's musical duo Pamplemouse, I finally figured out what I'd like to do with a Patreon page.
To be clear and not cast MacGuyver in an unsupportive light, he wasn't hinting all that time, but he knew I wanted validation as a writer and artist, plus I dreamed what I did would have enough value for people to pay me for it.
I'd always known I'd launch a page if I could figure out what I could offer.
Why a Patreon page now?
Several reasons.
Part of it is to get started under the line before the new iteration of Patreon launches in a few days. I wanted to be part of the original system.
It is true that the deadline made me think harder about what I could do and offer. Frankly, deadlines make my teeth itch and give me anxiety. Deadlines have caused me and other creative friends to cut corners. I realize deadlines are a fact of life, publishing, and news, but sometimes the results aren't pretty and content consumers may not suffer, but they feel unsatisfied.
As a consumer myself, I know that feeling all too well.
Another reason why I started a Patreon, MacGuyver will be retiring in a few years. True, he and I both want me to have creative freedom, but I also want to help keep our lights on both here on the blogs and at home.
And — something I haven't told anyone else — I need to work around my social media addiction. I'm terribly dependent on Facebook. My thinking is, with a Patreon page, if I'm paid to produce content to share with people, I can avoid Facebook a bit better and be more constructive with my time.
Important stuff to know
I have no plans to close this blog in the near future.
Frankly, I did think about combing my two websites. But that's not for a while yet.
Accessing The Horsey Set Net here will always be free.
I'll repeat myself: accessing The Horsey Set Net here will always be free. Even if I move it to my other site, I'll always be free.
What I'm offering on my Patreon page is a first look at first drafts of posts that will go up here and on my other blog. The medium and content of those posts is dependent upon the tiers.
If I've messed up my priorities, I'll happily blame "deadlines."
I hope you'll consider joining the party over there. Frankly, you won't miss anything over here if you don't, but I'm kind of using a Patreon page as a glorified tip jar.
Enjoy 2019 Derby weekeend, or as they say in "Lou-uh-vul:" "Have a good Derby!"

So, I watched The Last Word tonight.
It's a film that premiered, earlier this year, at Sundance and then it got a very brief theatrical run. It was directed by Mark Pellington, who is one of those odd directors who, for some reason, I always assume is more talented than he is. Seriously, when I saw this was directed by Mark Pellington, I actually got excited. I was like, "Mark Pellington!? He's great!" Then I realized that I wasn't really sure who Mark Pellington was. I looked him up on Wikipedia and I realized that I was mistaking him for actor Mark Pellegrino. Mark Pellegrino played Jacob on Lost and is an outspoken Libertarian. Mark Pellington is some guy who started out in music videos and then eventually moved up to directing pedestrian films.
Anyway, the film stars Shirley MacClaine as this annoying old busybody who demands that Amanda Seyfried write her obituary because MacClaine wants to know what people are going to say about her after she's dead. When Seyfried discovers that everyone hates MacClaine, she writes a boring and very short obit. "Everyone hates you," she helpfully explains. So, MacClaine sets out to do some great things so that her obituary will have a little more spark. She's going to set a fire of quirkiness, she is! Of course, this leads to MacClaine adopting a little black orphan, getting a job as a DJ at the local radio station (she plays boring adult contemporary music, of course. No EDM), and helping Seyfriend get a boyfriend.
To be honest, this film would probably be a lot more bearable if it was a prequel to Bernie, because then you would at least know that you could look forward to Jack Black showing up with a hunting rifle and putting everyone out of their misery. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen. Instead, this is another one of those movies where a cranky old tyrant teaches all of us young folks how to better appreciate life.
Y'see, Shirley MacClaine is playing an oldster so she has a sharp tongue and she's always putting people in their place. Because she had to struggle, we're supposed to ignore the fact that she spends most of her time making everyone around her miserable.
Amanda Seyfried, on the other hand, is a millennial so she puts her feet on her boss's desk and has no direction in her life. Why, she just needs some annoying, elderly busybody to come into her life and make her listen to smooth jazz. She might even get a hipster boyfriend out of the deal! (Of course, her potential hipster boyfriend is a 2008-style hipster as opposed to a 2017-style hipster.)
Meanwhile, AnnJewel Lee Dixon (as the little girl that MacClaine adopts) is a plot device so she doesn't do anything unless the script specifically needs her to humanize the other characters. She gets to dance towards the end of the film.
Oh, and then there's Anne Heche. She plays MacClaine's estranged daughter. The reunion between her and MacClaine is so overwritten and overperformed that some viewers will probably be inspired to rip out their hair while watching it.
Hey, did I mention that there's a scene where MacClaine does something quirky and all of the supporting characters break out into applause? I think we're supposed to clap to but I think most members of the audience will be too busy ripping out their hair by the handful.
Fortunately, I really love my hair so I resisted the temptation to start plucking strands out of my head while watching the film. It wasn't easy, though. To be honest, the pain of plucking a strand of hair is nothing compared to the pain of watching the first fifteen minutes of this film and realizing that you already know every thing that's going to happen. By the time that the priest showed up and started to cry while talking about a time that MacClaine's character had been rude to him, I imagine that viewers with less self-control were halfway bald. But, as I said, I love my hair too much to take my frustration out on it. Instead, I just kicked the coffee table a few times. Now, my foot hurts. Ow.
Seeing as how Shirley MacClaine is one of the last of the truly great actresses from Hollywood's Golden Age and she actually does give a pretty good performance (when the script allows her), it's a shame that the rest of the movie is such a let down. Then again, this film is full of talented people who are let down by an overwritten script and Mark Pellington's painfully obvious direction. This is one of those films that tries to hard to be profound that it forgets the importance of being entertaining.
As I watched this movie, I took a glance at Mark Pellington's filmography. Did you know that he directed The Mothman Prophecies? The Last Word really could have used a visit from the Mothman. Seriously, this film was crying out for a scene of MacClaine putting Mothman in his place. The fact that Mothman did not appear leads me to wonder what exactly this film was hiding.
Seriously, why are the people behind The Last Word protecting the Mothman?

So Ive finally decided that the community has gotten really bad with players who easily get their feelings hurt and start spamming "OMFG such a toxic player, report this guy, hey everyone report this guy he is so bm"... and this I kid not can easily come from simply telling another player they are bad at the game. If telling someone is bad at the game or something along those lines is being "toxic" then please explain to me god taunts, If I need to I will compile a list and add it to this post but if you have been playing smite long enough then you know exactly what I mean. For example, pimp agni or whatever that skin is called has a taunt that says something along these lines "I pray for these gods that you give them the wisdom to recognize they are too weak to face me" and there are many many more. So I guess this turns my post into a concern, I know for a fact I am getting reported often for harassment on many different levels and a lot of them are players who are upset over simple words on the internet, should I be concerned for a future account punishment?
side note- also spam laughing after a win, how is that not being "toxic" where is the fine line at in this harassment clause?
