Why Is Our Fabric Superior For Dry and Wet Wraps For Eczema?
Is a New Age Fiber and is revolutionary for eczema sufferers. Most eczema clothing fabrics have chemicals weaved into their fabric to kill bacteria. Our eco-friendly fabric has all the same benefits for eczema sufferers but it soothes eczema naturally. Tencel is one of the softest fabrics in the world, has anti-itch properties, stays close to the skin for effective treatment and greatly inhibits the growth of bacteria on the fabric promoting healthy skin. The Tencel® material in the AD RescueWear Wrap-E-Soothe™ products help make them one of the best eczema treatment options available today. The Wrap-E-Soothe™ garments are zinc, dye and chemical free. You can trust your eczema to AD RescueWear. Made in the U.S.A. by American workers.
Why Use Cotton Or Synthetics When You Can Have Eczema Soothing Tencel®?
Most Importantly – Everyone loves our ultra soft, dye free, zinc free fabric on their eczema.
Please Watch Our Video on Our Superior Fabric for Eczema Clothing.
The Wrap-E-Soothe Garments are the only wet and dry wrap therapy garments made with skin soothing TENCEL® fabric that is dye free, zinc free and chemical free. Dyes are know eczema triggers. Do not use zinc infused fabric is you suspect or have been diagnosed with a metal allergy.
Superior Wet Wrap Therapy – our fabric retains 50% more moisture than cotton for extremely effective wet wrap therapy. Below is a photo of cotton under a microscope and TENCEL® under a microscope. As you can see, TENCEL® is superior for moisture absorbency and extremely effective for wet wrap therapy.
Stretch for Effective Wet Wrap Therapy
Cotton does not stay on the skin when it is wet. Our fabric has 6% spandex added for the perfect amount of stretch for a close fit rather than a baggy, loose and uncomfortable fit with wet cotton.
One of the Softest Fabrics in the World
Most eczema wet wrap therapy clothing is made with cotton, viscose and elastane which eczema children find scratchy and uncomfortable when wet. Others have dyes or zinc that can cause a reaction to already irritated skin. Below please see photos of cotton, wool and TENCEL® under a microscope when wet. Other fabrics become rough and scratchy when wet. Tencel remains smooth and soft.
Wrap-E-Soothe eczema clothing is also great worn dry as super soft anti-itch undergarments and as a protection layer to prevent harmful scratching. Please see below why our fabric is wonderful as anti-itch clothing.
Not only is our fabric one of the softest in the world, our garments have other anti-itch features such as:
• Flat seams
• Exterior tags that avoid further irritation that are caused by traditional garments. Inside tags can aggravate already irritated eczema skin. You can cut the tag off of a garment but unless you actually take it out with the thread, it will still irritate the child's inflamed skin.
• Our Rescue Suit™ for Eczema and Wrap-E-Soothe™ pants have enclosed feet
• Our top and suit have hand covers to treat eczema hands and prevent scratching.
• Our full body suit has no entry points for scratching. The Wrap-E-Soothe Suit™ is the only one of its kind in the world and all products have patents pending.
Here are important features of our TENCEL® fabric:
Maintains The Balance of Natural Skin Bacteria
Tests have shown that the growth of bacteria on TENCEL® is greatly reduced on the fabric compared to cotton or other synthetic fabrics. Please see the graphic below on how Tencel handles bacteria.
Breathable and Lightweight
TENCEL® garments are intentionally thin and lightweight for a comfortable yet effective wet wrap therapy treatment. Cotton is not idea for wet wrap therapy. Children find it uncomfortable and scratchy.
Cooling Effect that Calms the Eczema Itch
TENCEL® has a moisture wicking effect that feels cool and can stop the itch fduring treatment. This provides more restful sleep for the entire family.
Thermoregulation Makes it Great for Hot, Itchy Eczema
TENCEL® has thermo regulating properties and is breathable, making it the best fabric for eczema/atopic dermatitis. Heat can aggravate eczema, so the breathable cooling/wicking feature of TENCEL® provides comfort to heat aggravated eczema.
Pure and Natural
TENCEL® is eco-friendly and one of the most sustainable fibers. TENCEL® is Oeko-Tex Standard100 certified (tested for harmful substances and free of hazardous chemicals). Rest assured you are not putting anything harmful on your child or your eczema. Please see the photo below on how Tencel is manufactured.
Clearly Superior for Eczema Treatment
TENCEL® fabric has many qualities beneficial for wet wrap therapy, dry wrap therapy and as anti-itch undergarments for eczema skin. The soft and smooth feel of the fabric can make the wet wrap therapy and dry wrap therapy experience comfortable and enjoyable for the child or yourself which has not been the case with the traditional process of using cotton clothing or traditional gauze. Keep in mind that AD RescueWear is the ONLY eczema treatment clothing that is dye, zinc and chemical free. You can trust your eczema to AD RescueWear.

A Demonstration of Peace
Through Mindfulness, Movement & Meditation
Manifesting Peace & Mindfulness in DC
June 22, 2018
June 22, 2018
Strike a Pose seeks to promote Peace and Positivity in Washington D.C. through Yoga, Breath, and Movement.
We recognize the power of yoga to foster the union of mind, body, and soul in every individual regardless of age, body size, or physical capabilities. Yoga, meditation, breath and movement have the power to bring a Oneness to self, family, community, country, the world and all Creation, to transform Me Thinking to We Thinking, and make the world a Better place for all living creatures.
Thank you for your time visiting our website! Please feel free to read through our website for the schedule and bios of our presenters and my team, the Partners In Peace. Below I will fill you in on the idea for creating this event and why I feel grateful to India for their contribution to our culture. A little about myself, I am a mother of two and I own and run a ceramic studio in southern California for the last 13 years, and am a newly Certified Yoga Teacher. My plan is to teach children, special needs children & adults, and people in recovery. This is my first experience with planning an event of this magnitude, and so far from home. I believe our country is in need of an event like Strike a Pose DC, in hopes of manifesting mindfulness, meditation, and movement in Washington DC.
After a year full of protests in the USA, I feel now is the time for yoga, mindfulness, and meditation to be practiced by every person in our country, big and small, old and young. Yoga does this for me and I wish to bring awareness of this ancient practice of bringing breath to movement and share it with others. Fortunately for us the practice of yoga, which was originated in India, has been brought to our country. However I have found that it has become a "work out" rather than a "work in" by many studios in the US. Daily, I practice meditation and yoga and I have seen a change within the person I am and my hope is that with events like mine, the message will be heard and our participants will carry the message off their mats and into their communities. International Yoga Day was a gift from Prime Minister Modi 4 years ago and it is my honor to organize Strike a Pose DC, the weekend of Int'l Yoga Day, in our nation's capital including all people, of all ages, free of charge, and each at a different level of knowledge when it comes to the practice of yoga. Not many people are aware that International Yoga Day exists, which is another hope of mine to educate others and bring awareness to the benefits of yoga. It is our desire to give them a taste of the goodness that is yoga, along with mindful dialogue, healing singing bowls, a guided meditation, and the sound of Om. This year will be our first annual event and we presently have over 200 people registered to attend. You see, I love yoga and all that it has done for my mind, body, and spirit, it would be selfish of me to not share it with others.
Grateful for your time and support and I hope to see you on the National Mall Lawn June 23!

Since fall is almost here I thought I would recreate this old post & make this my newest Transformation Tuesday. I also changed the name from Glitter Edged Fall Leaves to Glittery Book Page Fall Leaves. I thought it is more descriptive, plus I like it better.
Not only did I change the name, but I also created new Glittery Book Page Fall Leaves using Mod Podge so that the glitter will not fall off.
So hopefully you will fall in love with these Glittery Book Page Fall Leaves just as I have all over again. I love the whole concept of something old & used being paired with something new & sparkly. I also love that I was able to create new fall decor from items I already had in my craft supplies.
Upcycling & repurposing with a hint of glitter is my weakness.
These Glittery Book Page Fall Leaves are so easy & so fun to create I even had a friend who did this craft with her students!
So without further ado, my original post with a whole new facelift!
Fall is such a magical time of year. There is just something so special about cool crisp air, gently falling leaves, and the knowledge that Christmas is just around the corner.
This DIY fall project combines some of my favorite crafting supplies – glitter and book pages – with one of my favorite aspects of fall – LEAVES! Seriously, what could be better than a fall diy project where you create glittery leaves, especially when it is so simple!
Side note: These are some of the original photos. They were taken just a few months after I got my camera & were edited in Picasa. It was definitely time for an update!
Book Pages
Leaves Pattern – I used the pattern Amber Wagner created at Oil & Blue. – the same one I used for my Fall Leaves Banner.
Highlighter or Pen
Mod Podge
Paint Brush
Cutter Bee Precision-Cut Scissors – these are my favorite scissors for precision cutting
Scrap Paper
Fine Glitter – I used Sugar Coating Metallic Glitter Assortment
First, place the leaf on a piece of book paper and use it to trace the shape. My leaf is black because I used the leftover leaves from my Fall Leaves Banner.
Remove the leaf and use the scissors to cut the traced leaf.
Don't worry about trying to cut off all of the pen lines, the glitter will cover it up.
Continue this process until all of your book page leaves are traced & cut.
On your first piece of scrap paper apply the Mod Podge on the edges of the leaf. Then remove the leaf and place it on a different piece of scrap paper & sprinkle on the glitter.
Once the glue has dried shake off the excess glitter on the scrap paper & funnel it back into the glitter container.
Repeat on all of the book page leaves.
Then apply a thicker coat of Mod Podge on top of the glitter edge fall leaves & a second coat of fine glitter.
Once all of the leaves have a second coat of Mod Podge & glitter, & have dried thoroughly, apply a third & final coat of Mod Podge & let dry.
That's it!
I'm sure once you've seen for yourself how pretty these Glittery Book Page Fall Leaves are you will find a million ways to use them to decorate this fall. Such as in a center piece, placed next to a fall picture, or hung on twine by mini clothespins!
I'd love to see your Glittery Book Page Fall Leaves!

Twinkle Khanna has come out with a zany promo punch for her new production, Padman. The celebrity socialite, who had unequivocally proclaimed that the taboo associated with menstruation should be erased, has now expressed her disapproval of 'period leave' — a special provision that has been introduced in some organizations recently as an optional day off for women on their first day of periods.
Twinkle, who produced the movie on a rural entrepreneur's struggle to invent low-cost pads, starring her husband Akshay Kumar, hailed an unknown acquaintance who 'resisted' being treated 'unequally' by "running around more on her period day." Twinkle is of the view that women should avail sick leave, like they have a "stomach pain if the period is so uncomfortable."
Twinkle seems to be conceptually confused on the subject, considering that she is making a movie that calls for a candid 'conversation' about the taboo embedded with menstruation. By airing such an argument she is demolishing the very purpose of the movie with a misplaced judgment.
Before 'period leave' was introduced, working women everywhere had been using the age-old option — invoking 'stomach/head ache' and leaving the office.
When you claim that day off saying that you are having your menstruation, you are actually leaving no room for 'other' body aches to take over the honor.
Isn't this exactly what we need?
Women must have access to dignified management of their monthly period.
A woman would want to tell her boss that she is bleeding and would like to rest — just as important as period hygiene is the sense of dignity in acknowledging a normal physical activity for what it is. Menstruation and cramps along with it are part of a woman's being.
Women need period leaves because it is an equalizer. They needn't opt for medical leaves for a natural condition which is not an ailment while they can reserve those for real 'illnesses' that affect people irrespective of sexes.
If taking days off for stomach ulcers or a broken limb wouldn't leave one feeling unequal, why should a period leave do that?
The first thing that warrants a change is perception. We need hygiene, we need pads that don't pollute the earth — sanitary napkins, as they are produced today, are highly polluting. And women should be able to tell their colleagues: "I should leave, I have period cramps." Period.

First Human Trial of |Zika Vaccine Launched
(CN) — Federal researchers on Wednesday announced the launch of the first human clinical trial of a vaccine for the Zika virus, which could ultimately help slow the spread of the mosquito-borne epidemic.
The announcement comes as officials from Florida and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention try to stem the local transmission of Zika around Wynwood, Florida, a neighborhood north of downtown Miami that experienced the first cases of local transmission within the continental United States.
The clinical trial began Tuesday, and will include at least 80 healthy volunteers between the ages 18 and 35 at three locations across the United States. The primary goal of the researchers' work will be to determine the vaccine's safety and efficacy.
"A safe and effective vaccine to prevent Zika virus infection and the devastating birth defects it causes is a public health imperative," Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in a statement. "NIAID worked expeditiously to ready a vaccine candidate, and results in animal testing have been very encouraging. Although it will take some time before a vaccine against Zika is commercially available, the launch of this study is an important step forward."
If the trial produces positive results early on, researchers plan to begin a larger-scale trial in Zika-affected nations by 2017.
In addition to the institute's clinical trial, several private companies are also researching potential Zika vaccines.
Fauci said the vaccine would likely be distributed to women and teens of childbearing age and their sexual partners, given Zika's connection to various congenital disorders including microcephaly, which results in reduced head size and potential brain damage in infants.
The cost and time associated with developing new vaccines is typically burdensome for pharmaceutical companies, so their research generally focuses on improving existing treatments.
Thomas Frieden, director of the CDC, told the Washington Post that he plans to travel to Wynwood on Thursday to review the situation first-hand, after 15 cases of local transmission. A rare travel warning was issued after health officials faced challenges in eradicating the native mosquito population.
"This is a complicated neighborhood," he said, referring to the identified area of transmission. "It has schools. It has parks. It has industrial areas. It has arts area. It has business and retail. So figuring out how to control mosquitoes there is going to take a lot of creativity and a lot of community engagement because you have to get rid of every drop of standing water."
Frieden said the travel advisory issued by the CDC may be in effect for at least one year, depending on how much progress health officials make in reducing the local Aedes aegypti mosquito population — the primary vector of Zika.
"Even if you go into every house, you don't get to the top of roofs, you don't get behind houses, there's always some places you can't reach," Frieden said.


text: Death. A reality we face everyday, we encounter everyday and one we cannot avoid. It is the only certain thing that we know it's going to happen and we can predict that we will be 6 feet underground. Not to sound morose, but that is life. These are my views from a healer's perspective and I do not expect everyone watching this video to agree with it. It is something to think about though.

Marcia of Rockville, Md, writes:
I purchased a sealy posture premier "legato" about a year ago for my younger daughter. I looked at your web site but I can't find that model. Can you tell me what the comparable model is? Do you have any other recommendations that are similar?? She would like a queen size bed. Thank you for your help. Marcia
Hi Marcia. As in any other line of mattresses, the models names vary from store to store and region to region.
The Posture Premiers are a good choice for a childs 1st bed or a spare room that is seldom used. A queen for a child will be expected to last until the child is grown and gone, and it often pulls double duty for visiting family. In that size, the better value would be a lower level Posturepedic. The Sun Ridge or Pacifico plush would be your best choices. The Pacifico plush is the one all the young girls like. It's softer than the Sun Ridge and it's reasonably priced. The Posturepedic is of noticeably better quality than the Posture Premier and well worth the difference in price.

Marion, SC Explosion Of The Steamer MARION, Apr 1882
Marion, S. C., April 29. -- Full particulars of the fearful steamboat explosion which occurred on the Wateree River yesterday have just been received here. The steamer MARION was employed by the Government in removing obstructions from the river, and for several months past has been running up and down that stream. Its officers have become quite popular with the people living along its banks. During the Spring the boat has been used by excursion parties of ladies and gentlemen. Yesterday the Captain, at the request of a number of ladies and gentlemen of Richland County, agreed to take a party of about 30 ladies and 20 gentlemen down the Wateree for a little pleasure trip. The party embarked early yesterday. In addition to the pleasure seekers, the crew numbered 10 persons, making the number on board about 60. About 11 o'clock, when midway the stream and while proceeding at the rate of about eight miles an hour, the boiler of the boat exploded with a fearful crash. At the time the whole party of ladies and gentlemen was on deck and just above the boiler. When the smoke cleared away a scene of terrible suffering was presented. Men and women were bleeding and dying upon the torn wreck of the boat. Several had been thrown to the upper end of the hurricane deck and buried beneath the planks of the wreck. Others were caught under heavy timbers, and there kept imprisoned until they could be relieved. The fearful jar of the explosion threw the steamer over on her side, upsetting and jarring those who were not seriously disabled, so that for a time they could not render their wounded companioins any assistance. As soon as they could extricate themselves from their disagreeable situation they went manfully to work to assist those who were buried beneath the timbers. The boat was headed for the shore, and before she sank was run into shallow water. Several of the party were blown into the river and had to swim for their lives. The force of the explosion blew off the whole upper deck. But for the prompt and brave efforts of the Captain and his crew, assisted by such of the male passengers as were not disabled, the loss of life would have been greatly increased.
One of the saddest features of the accident was the extermination of a whole family -- the MISSES HENRY, four accomplished and beautiful sisters, who were greatly beloved in the community in which they lived. These ladies at the time of the explosion were standing on deck, immediately over the engine-room, engaged in a lively chat with some of their friends. The full force of the terrible crash spent itself upon these unfortunate victims. MISS ALICE was killed almost instantly. The eldest sister, MISS MINNIE, was hurled 15 or 20 feet and fell into the water. She was one of the first to be picked up and carried on shore. The third sister was fearfully crushed and mangled, almost every bone in her body was broken. She lived for a short time after she was found. The fourth sister was probably scalded to death; she also lived a short time after the accident. ARNOLD STILES, a young man who belonged to the excursion party, was terribly mangled. One of his arms was crushed and almost torn from his body. He was killed almost instantly. JAMES JACOBS and HIRAM TOLER, two boatmen who were standing hear the gangway at the time of the accident, were also killed. The total number of persons killed or who are believed to be fatally injured is 11. Several whose injuries are not regarded as fatal are dangerously hurt and doubts are entertained about their recovery. As soon as information reached Columbia of the accident, a relief party was sent to the scene. A Coroner's jury to-day rendered a verdict acquitting the boat's crew of any blame in the matter.

Happy Monday,
Hey, my loves happy July, when did summer start again, it's been so back and forth.
Anyways, let's skip all the jumble bumble talk about my favorite accessories SUNGLASSES yaas.
After lusting over this one specific pair from Quay Australia for like forever, I finally looked into them and made a purchase. For more details like pricing and first impressions please keep reading.
If you would like to guess on my most wanted pair from Quay, go ahead.
I went for the High Key Quay X Desi Perkins in Black Fade, no doubt, it just screams my name.
HIGH KEY 〉Quay X Desi Perkins
Black Fade
Keep it HIGH KEY. Designed in collaboration with Desi Perkins, this worldwide fan fave has turned the classic aviator on its head. Featuring an oversized metal frame with flat reflective lenses and signature triangle notches, each color of HIGH KEY is a wardrobe essential. Original HIGH KEY is available in seven colors, from mega glam gold to urban black fade.
All HIGH KEY frames include a limited edition #QUAYXDESI clear case and cleaning cloth. Get 'em before they're gone.
**HIGH KEY is not eligible for site-wide discounts**
These Insta-famous sunnies are on the pricey side but only at first though, because in comparison with other options these days they sound pricey and if you're like me you probably resist expensive pairs because let's be honest who enjoys losing money. Having said that, these I believe were my first expensive ones and I couldn't resist this time. I usually keep them around $20 or so and when I bought the High Key's I was lucky to have them at a discount. Now, I know it clearly says they are NOT eligible for discounts but when they have a sale, using the promo code at checkout I was able to enjoy money off my High Key's and yes that was the only thing I purchased.
Alert: Sale going on right now LIMITED TIME: TAKE 20% OFF SALE* USE CODE: SWEET20
Overall, yes I would say these are worth the investment because they look and feel great. Have you feeling fashionably famous, important, and just hot. You'll experience a "wow" moment once you have them on. I love them and was waiting to share with you all.
They come in different colors and a smaller size now, which was highly demanded. After much consideration, I went ahead with the originals because I was feeling oversized look.
Here's a little unboxing for you and a closer look at them, enjoy and if you find the video helpful please give it a thumbs up.
Thank You!

It was just a matter of time, really. We're well acquainted with Facebook letting us tag friends in our photos, so it's no shock that a similar feature has just spread to the social network's mobile darling, Instagram. The Android and iOS apps will both hit version 3.5 today, letting users tag others in a shot (whether or not they're human). A new Photos of You section has also been added to members' profiles, where you can see any photo linked to that account. As you might imagine, Instagram is already trying to head off potential privacy issues -- account holders have until May 16th before their Photos of You sections become public, and settings will let them turn down connections to any revealing (or simply inaccurate) images. The update is already available through the iTunes App Store and should be landing soon in Google Play. Hit up the source links if you've ever wanted to see how other Instagrammers see you.

The RAVEN MTi2 is a state of the art 27" Multi-Touch Production Console featuring a state of the art multi-touch panel and the powerful new RAVEN 3.0 Control Software. Using the RAVEN MTi2, users have access to multi-touch faders, pans, sends, and tweak plugins with their fingers as if they were real hardware. The RAVEN 3.0 Control Software also features a user-customizable multifunction TOOLBAR and the award winning BATCH COMMAND SYSTEM, a powerful automated task application that will save audio engineers hours per day by cutting out tedious technical tasks.
With the introduction of RAVEN 3.0, we have taken the already game-changing RAVEN software to a new level by adding compatibility with EVERY MAJOR DAW.
RAVEN 3.0 now adds customized multi-touch control of Ableton Live, Cubase/Nuendo, Digital Performer, Logic Pro X, Protools 10-12, and Studio One V3 on Mac as well as PC compatibility for Protools 10-12, Cubase 8-9 and Nuendo 7. The 3.0 update demonstrates exactly why the RAVEN is so groundbreaking: through real time interaction we have the ability to code our way to any fix or enhancement, and RAVEN has continued to evolve.
FADERS 3.0 are our newest multi-touch faders that allow the most precise control of your DAW faders. By integrating multi-touch 100mm virtual faders directly into each DAW, the engineer has seamless control over mix levels and automation. The new 3.0 algorithm gives the faders a virtual 'feel' that allows an intuitive feeling action that is comfortable and even fun to use. And for the most critical automation, FINE FADER mode can quadruple the resolution of the faders so you can get even the most minute moves down in the first pass with ease and perfection.
In Toolbar mode, the RAVEN Toolbar is anchored directly in front of your hands at the base of the touch display. Your DAW controls are where you want them: Transport, Edit/Mix window selector – convenient tools for tracking too, like Record Looping, Click, Create Group, and Undo. Use intuitive multi-touch gestures on the RAVEN NAVPAD to perform Scrub/Shuttle, Waveform Zoom, Track Zoom, and Track Banking, and RAVEN Batch Commands. Best of all, because the RAVEN Toolbar is virtual, it's user-customizable – put the controls you want where you want them.
The RAVEN Batch Command System is a true revolution in control. The BCS is a series of preset and customizable buttons that can execute up to 1,000 key commands and mouse clicks automatically. With just one button, BCS allows you to create instant headphone sends, name tracks, put entire drum tracks on the grid, export stems, and so much more! The BCS comes pre-programmed with 100 preset batch commands in every DAW we support, with layouts for Music, Mastering, Post Production and more.
Record your own mouse click automation or program user commands with our QUICKLIST, which features hundreds of predefined DAW operations. Just touch and hold on a Batch Command button to edit, and you'll have access to almost limitless possibilities. With the Batch Command system you'll get it all done faster and smarter.
We're proud to announce the next evolution of the RAVEN Control software called GESTURES. As its name implies, GESTURES allows classic multi touch gestures to control important elements of the DAW such as opening and closing plugins, muting and unmuting tracks, zooming in and out, and more!

Wayback Burgers Launches Newest Location in Lahore, Pakistan
Ejaz Chaudhry, Imran Zahoor, Kamran Zahoor and Imtiaz Chaudhry Bring America's Favorite Hometown Burger Joint to the Lahore, Pakistan Community
April 20, 2018 // Franchising.com // Lahore, Pakistan - Wayback Burgers, America's favorite hometown burger joint and one of the nation's fastest growing burger franchises, opened its newest restaurant in Johar Town, Lahore, Pakistan on April 14, 2018. This is Wayback Burgers' first location in Pakistan and in areas surrounding Lahore.
The newest Wayback Burgers restaurant, owned by Ejaz Chaudhry, Imran Zahoor, Kamran Zahoor and Imtiaz Chaudhry, is located at 56-GCP Housing Society, Opposite Shoukat Khanum Cancer Hospital, Johar Town, Lahore, Pakistan. After managing and owning several concepts for a number of years, including a Wayback Burgers restaurant in Washington state, Ejaz, Imran, Kamran and Imtiaz bought master franchise rights for Pakistan. The business partners expect to have two Wayback Burgers restaurants operating in Lahore by the end of 2019 and expect to open 2-3 more annually in the coming years.
Ejaz says Wayback Burgers was the perfect fit for him because he loves the company's "throwback" culture and community first values.
"We saw an opportunity to bring a brand to Pakistan that offers better quality burgers and shakes," said Ejaz. "After opening our first Wayback Burgers restaurants in the USA, which obviously included trying the food and seeing the operations, it was an easy decision to bring the brand to Pakistan. We will serve excellent food that fulfills our guest's needs quickly, courteously, and in a cleaner environment than our competitors."
Wayback Burgers Director of International Development, Jason Murawski, is impressed with Ejaz, Imran, Kamran and Imtiaz's success to date and believes the company's fast casual burger concept is a perfect fit for Lahore, Pakistan and surrounding communities.
"We are thrilled Ejaz, Imran, Kamran and Imtiaz are bringing Wayback Burgers to Lahore, Pakistan" said Murawski. "Working in the food industry for a combined 80+ years, this team possesses the perfect skill set to be successful as Wayback Burgers master franchisees. Plus, they are deeply committed to their community and support countless local organizations. After traveling to Lahore for the opening and seeing the response of the consumers, I know we have a winner.
"We expect Ejaz, Imran, Kamran and Imtiaz to flourish with Wayback Burgers and we look forward to helping them develop new locations throughout Pakistan."

First Triumvirate
In 60 BC, Caesar's decision to forego a chance at a triumph for his achievements in Spain put him in a position to run for Consul. He faced considerable opposition from the optimate Senators, or as Cicero dubbed them, the boni (good men).
Even though Caesar seemed to hold overwhelming popularity within the citizen assemblies, he had to manipulate formidable alliances within the Senate itself in order to secure his election. Already maintaining a solid friendship with the fabulously wealthy Crassus, he approached Crassus' rival Pompey with the concept of an amicitia (coalition).
Pompey had already been considerably frustrated by the inability to get land reform for his eastern veterans, and Caesar brilliantly patched up any differences between the two powerful leaders. Crassus, on the other hand, had significant assets tied up in eastern interests and was a great ally of the business leading Equestrian families. He needed a politician, Caesar, to support items of interest to this faction and willingly joined the coalition.
The Alliance also Included Others
The "first triumvirate" however is a bit misleading in name. Not only was it never called that by the contemporary Romans, but it was a far more inclusive factio (faction) than the term "triumvirate" implies. Many leading men were involved, such as Lucius Lucceius and Lucius Calpurnius Piso (whose daughter, Calpurnia, Caesar later married).
The great orator Cicero, due to his association with Pompey and relative influence, was likely asked to participate in forming this 'majority' style government, but if so, he clearly chose to separate himself and refused to participate.
The alliance was formed in late 60 BC without Cicero, and remarkably remained a secret for some time. Caesar won the election easily enough, but the boni managed to have Caesar's former co-aedile Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus elected as the junior Consul. The clear intention was to thwart what were sure to be radical attempts at legislation by Caesar. Bibulus was only the office holding face of the optimates, however, as it was Marcus Porcius Cato who held much influence among the conservatives.
The Wrong Age or Just Bending the Rules?
Of interesting note regarding the election is Caesar's age. The constitution, under normal circumstances, required a Consular candidate to be 42 years of age. Caesar, however, according to common beliefs, being born in 100 BC, was only 40 years old.
This has led to much speculation that he was actually born in 102 BC to make him the right age for the office. The fact that the 'boni' and their ultra conservative policies make little argument against the legality of Caesar running for Consul, lends credence to the argument that Caesar was actually born 2 years earlier. In fact, each office Caesar held was exactly 2 years prior to being legally eligible.
However, circumstances throughout this imperatorial period of the Republic often negated such rules. Pompey served as consul in his 20's without even having been a Senator first. Both Plutarch and Suetonius, ancient Rome's great biographers, both say that Caesar died during his 56th year. He would have turned 56 in July of 44 BC making it seem quite clear that Caesar was indeed born in 100 BC. Some theories have suggested that his age may have been overlooked because Caesar won the corona civica in his youth while on campaign in the east. Regardless, no special legislation or extenuating circumstances seemed to block Caesar's legal position to run for Consul.
Caesar as Consul
Once in office in 59 BC, Caesar's first order of business was to pass a law that required the public release of all debates and procedures of the Senate. This was the beginning of Caesar's propaganda machine that would eventually culminate in his own written records of the Gallic Wars and the Civil Wars. Forcing the publication of certain arguments could make Caesar appear to be heroic for the populist cause in the face of conservative resistance, regardless of the real nature of any proposed legislation or debate.
Next on the agenda was the appeasement of Pompey. Caesar developed a land bill that reportedly was so carefully written that resistance from political opponents was hoped to be minimal. He personally read each section of the law before the Senate, offering open debate and promising to delete any segment that the Senate disliked. The volatile political hot point of lands in Campania would not be offered to Pompey's veterans or the Roman poor, but rather unused land in other parts of Italy would be restored and offered instead. Doing so would not only alleviate the problem of the unemployed mob in Rome but would satisfy Pompey and his legions.
Caesar assured that he could in no way gain from the bill, as was common with agrarian bills in the past, and excluded himself from any potential oversight committees related to it. Still, Cato and the optimates faction opposed the concept, not only because they were certainly skeptical and in general opposition to Caesar, but because legislation of such far reaching consequence was rarely unanimous or passed without revision. Rather than continue along the standard deliberative process, Caesar rebuked the Senate and took it directly to the people.
While speaking before the citizen assemblies, Caesar asked his co-consul Bibulus his feelings on the bill, as it was important to have the support of both standing consuls. His reply was simply to say that the bill would not be passed even if everyone else wanted it. At this point the so-called first triumvirate was made publicly known with both Pompey and Crassus voicing public approval of the measure in turn.
The boni, likely in a mild panic from this now public alliance, did everything they could to stop the legislation. Bibulus tried to stop it by declaring bad omens and public holidays, both key events that would delay voting. Caesar, however, as Pontifex Maximus, and with public support, could counter any charge of bad omens and took the vote to the Temple of Castor. Here, Cato and his boni made a last stand.
Caesar Becomes Sole Consul in All But Name
Bibulus tried to veto the entire process, inciting the crowd. A basket of dung was thrown on his head and the optimate Senators were driven away. The law carried with overwhelming public support, and Bibulus retired to his home in disgrace. Bibulus spent the remainder of his Consular year trying to use religious omens to declare Caesar's laws as null and void, in an attempt to bog down the political system. Instead, however, he simply gave Caesar complete autonomy to pass almost any proposal he wanted to. After Bibulus' withdrawal, the year of the Consulship of Caesar and Bibulus was often referred to jokingly thereafter as the year of "Julius and Caesar" and was a foreboding indication of Caesar's political machinations.
Furthering the Support from Crassus
The next order of business was securing Crassus' support. Caesar brought tax proposals that would benefit Crassus' equestrian business interests before the people's assembly and passed them through without opposition. Additional eastern settlements were passed to confirm Pompey's deeds while on campaign there. Additional laws aimed at blocking corruption were passed, making sure that provincial governors were more accountable for their actions while serving abroad.
Whilst the 'first triumvirate' was technically completely legal, as were taking bills before the people's assembly rather than the Senate, the actions of Caesar during this year would lead directly to attempts at prosecution later. Circumventing the religious omens as well as other legal manipulation would eventually lead directly to a choice between surrender for punishment or civil war.
Furthering the Support from Pompey
Already secure with Crassus by marrying the daughter of his client, Piso, Caesar next strengthened his alliance with Pompey. Pompey was married to Caesar's daughter Julia, in what seemed to be a completely happy arrangement by all accounts.
Next, Caesar secured his own future with the support of the Tribune Publius Vatinius. The 'Lex Vatinia' gave Caesar the Proconsulship of Cisalpine Gaul and Illyricum, granting him the opportunity to match political victories with military glory. This five year term, unprecedented for an area that was relatively secure, was an obvious sign of Caesar's ambition for external conquests, and would also lead to calls for prosecution. Despite all of Rome's conquests, the system required valid reasons and the support of the Senate to enable military action. Caesar's future campaigns would all be conducted at his own discretion.
In an additional stroke of luck, Quintus Caecilius Metellus Celer died, the current governor of Gallia Narbonensis, and this province was assigned to Caesar as well.
The Stage is Set
As 59 BC came to a close, Caesar had the support of the people, along with the two most powerful men in Rome (aside from himself), and the opportunity for infinite glory in Gaul. At the age of 40, while already holding the highest office in Rome and defeating his enemies at every turn, the true greatness of his career was yet to come. Marching quickly to the relative safety of his provinces, to invoke his 5 year imperium and avoid prosecution, Caesar was about to alter the geographic landscape of the ancient world.

After 8 years out of power, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in the House are hoping the control granted them by the voters in 2018 will be more than just a short-term stint. To that end, they've wisely selected an issue that resonates with the American people for their first legislative issue: reform.
Rep. John Sarbanes will take the lead on the issue, and, as we have discussed frequently the intense degree of public support for these issues. Should Democrats prove successful in passing legislation that the public feels restores influence to ordinary citizens, they will seize an opportunity Republicans largely passed on over their time in control.
The comprehensive legislation is still being worked on, but campaign finance, ethics reform, and voting rights will all be featured.
Though details are scarce, a few things are clear. First, Elizabeth Warren's influence over the Party remains strong as the 2020 presidential season looms large as she is a central player here. Second, the solutions offered would benefit from the more nuanced solutions preferred by Take Back Our Republic (such as how we view 501c4 organizations and our proposed tax credit solution over public financing). Third, because of divided government and some of the elements of the legislation, passage of any part of this agenda will require breaking up the bill.
We find the ethics reform portions of the legislation particularly encouraging, and we are supportive of the prioritization of reform efforts across the board. And, from a purely political standpoint, it's a win for the Democrats to be talking about an issue that unites Americans unlike any other.
For more information, read: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/11/30/18118158/house-democrats-anti-corruption-bill-hr-1-pelosi?fbclid=IwAR3eluYQrEGgMMRZWLULyLZFFzPkXeiXtap9uxgvvATofwjfgyC32KMlF6k.
As a conservative organization, our hope is that both parties will begin to take the support for reform and turn it into real, substantive legislative action. In that vein, we encourage fellow conservatives to come to the table with this bill, find common ground and work across the aisle where they can.
What do you think? Are you pleased the Democrats are opening with this legislation? Do you believe there are opportunities for bi-partisanship here? Join the conversation at: https://www.facebook.com/takebackorg/.

But a more level playing field may be in sight, thanks to a World Bank initiative that aims to compile Africa's mineral maps into a single, public database: the so-called Billion Dollar Map. The alleged goal is to give African nations as much information as possible about their natural resources so that they can earn a fair price for the minerals they sell, World Bank officials claim.
"When a government licenses its acreage for mining companies, they really don't know what's underground," says Paulo De Sa, the World Bank geologist in charge of the project. "The mining companies know what the true potential of these minerals is, and the government doesn't have a clue."
has taken a hard line. Late last year, President Robert Mugabe threatened to stop exports of raw platinum in a bid to force mining firms to process the metal domestically.
While private mining companies have been mapping Africa's minerals for decades, nations with mining interests have entered the game, too. France launched a similar, though less ambitious, program a decade ago, and a consortium of European and African countries recently undertook another . With Chinese firms' stake in Africa's minerals growing fast, the Chinese government last year reached a memorandum of understanding with Kenya's government to spend up to $70 million on aerial mineral surveys across Kenya .
To create the public minerals map and database, the World Bank will first compile historical data on Africa's buried minerals dating back to colonial times, such as old mining reports and maps like this one of Kenya from the 1960s. As the data is gathered, the compilations will be turned into publicly available PDFs.
Then researchers will use satellites to georeference the data, identifying proper coordinates for mineral discoveries marked on outdated maps. All this geodata will be combined into a central database so that researchers, and anyone else, can see which regions have not yet been explored.Next comes the process of filling in those gaps. Though it will be long and expensive, methods have much improved since the rudimentary maps of early 20th -century explorers.
By cutting some of the risk associated with mineral exploration, the map is also likely to accelerate mining across the continent, according to people familiar with Africa's minerals sector. "It become really risky when you drill, drill, drill and don't find anything," De Sa says. That's why mining companies tend not to invest unless they're confident they're likely to find large-enough mineral deposits. The Billion Dollar Map may help companies more quickly reach that confidence threshold.
That, in turn, would generate more revenue for African governments in need of new income sources to finance their development. "Even a small mine could create a couple thousand direct jobs in the area," says Graham. "And that's not even thinking in terms of potential infrastructure, and so on."

The Utah STEM Bus travels throughout the state of Utah to schools and other organisations to provide these hands on real world project based learning opportunities that help generate passion for STEM careers. To us at MHTN Architects, the STEM Bus is very important, because we work with a lot of districts across the state, but sometimes there's a lack of either funding or resources.
Skip to 0 minutes and 48 seconds And so the STEM Bus and Utah STEM Action Centre really become an opportunity to get that out into those communities, to help those under-served areas. That's a good idea. Oh, we have to test it, though. Yeah, I think we do. And to really develop and foster those key curiosities that are naturally there, and maybe need to be pushed and prodded, and hopefully those explode into something beautiful. Tesoro has a very large footprint in the state of Utah. We envision the Utah STEM bus as a resource that will benefit the communities where our employees work, whether they're along the Wasatch front or in rural Utah. So think about what you can do to maybe improve upon your design.
Skip to 1 minute and 30 seconds It's not connected to the wire, I bet. It was so great to have the Utah STEM Bus come out. My class learned about robotics, and it was such a good opportunity for them to have such a hands on experience that I don't have the resources to give them every day throughout the year as often as I'd like. It's green. Oh, I think that's just programming it. And it also engages students in the Governor's Initiative to be a STEM competitive work force in the state of Utah. Forbes just ranked Utah the number one state to do business in.
Skip to 2 minutes and 1 second It is important within the next decade with all of these jobs coming to our market, all of these startups forming in our market, that our children will have the skills necessary to work in these fields. OK, there it is. Hands on learning experiences in STEM is really what creates the STEM atmosphere and gives them the opportunity to be problem solving thinkers. It gives them the chance to really trial and error, and think through not only problems in STEM, but problems throughout their lives, on the playground, and also through the other curriculum.
Skip to 2 minutes and 41 seconds When businesses and other community partners see the potential that it has to provide another resource to both our kids, and more importantly to the teachers in the schools who are educated our kids, it sells itself. The Utah STEM Bus is going to be a great opportunity for our schools. And the fact that industry sees the need for that, and they are willing to fund it, is a big step in the right direction for education in Utah. Ta-da! I find it hard to believe that a company that is invested in STEM would not find this as a great opportunity. And we need to put a stem. Oh yeah. A stem. Definitely a stem.
Case study: Utah STEM Bus
Bradley Hunsaker discusses his role as STEM Bus Program Coordinator for the Utah STEM Action Center's mobile makerspace, Utah STEM Bus..
The Utah STEM Action Center created the Utah STEM Bus as a mobile classroom and makerspace. The mission of the bus is to introduce real-world, hands-on learning experiences to students, parents, and educators in schools and communities across Utah. The Utah STEM Bus started as a vision conceived by the Utah STEM Action Center and local industry partners that wanted a way to get students excited about STEM, and to show pathways into various STEM careers here in Utah.
The Utah Transit Authority donated a 40-foot transit bus built in 1997 that we then retrofitted into a mobile classroom and makerspace. The Utah STEM Bus is outfitted with enough workspace to fit upwards of 30 students, and it houses three TVs, an A/V system that can link everything together, a 3D printer, and various other hands-on projects for people to engage with. The Utah STEM Bus is a very unique platform in that we can facilitate all of our learning activities inside the bus while we drive it all across the state of Utah.
The Utah STEM Bus has been a great success so far. We officially launched our pilot program in December 2016, and ran it until the end of the school year in May 2017. During the pilot program alone, the Utah STEM Bus reached 19 schools and 3281 students. Over the following summer we participated in several parades and events across Utah to promote public awareness of the bus. We went to the Schools for the Deaf and Blind for their summer camp, to the Ogden Youth Correctional Facility to teach a class of high school age inmates, and to numerous daycare centers to get younger kids excited about STEM. We have been going non-stop since the school year started in August, and as of the end of December 2017, we have reached 19 schools and 3870 students. Due to the high demand for the bus, we were able to expand our team from three to four members. Currently, we're on track to reach 40 schools and 8000 students this school year; we also have an ongoing interest list of about 130 schools waiting to see if a spot will open up this year for a visit. We are also actively partnering with many local commercial organizations to create a new curriculum for the bus.
Our biggest challenge so far has been trying to operate and maintain a 20-year old bus. As with any older vehicle, we have had to do a lot of upgrades and fixes to make sure the bus is not only roadworthy, but also safe for students as a classroom. The initial retrofit of the bus brought a lot of problems that we had to solve, creating innovate solutions to get everything working together.
Another hurdle we faced was the creation of a curriculum which not only engages and challenges 4th graders, but can scale and provide rigor for 12th graders as well. Luckily, with the help of industry partners sponsoring our curriculum, we have been able to find ways to teach to all grades and still make activities challenging and engaging without having to purchase new equipment. We also split the curriculum into two categories: K-3 and 4-12. The K-3 programs are 30-minute lessons that help students understand what STEM is and that get them excited. The 4-12 programs are two-hour courses that really get the students engaged in hands-on activities and show them pathways into future educational opportunities and careers relating to the topic.
Currently, the Utah STEM Bus is under a five-year grant through Andeavor (FKA Tesoro). This grant was given in the hope that, after those five years, we could become self-sufficient and find new funding sources for the Utah STEM Bus. With the Utah STEM Action Center being part of the Governor's Office of Economic Development, we hope to begin pulling from State funding within the next few years. The retrofit of the bus as a makerspace was the biggest cost by far. Surprisingly, purchasing supplies and equipment for the bus wasn't that big of a problem. The main goal of the Utah STEM Bus is to partner with local Utah companies to create a curriculum with ties to our state. That also means a lot of the equipment we use for the bus is either donated or discounted.
What's next for your makerspace?
Our next big step is to become legislatively funded within the next few years. Once we have that ongoing funding secured for the program, we will look to the creation of a second bus to expand our capacity. We have a second donated Utah Transit Authority bus that is currently sitting unused. Once we have a vision behind what we want the second bus to be, and a main sponsor, we can begin the retrofit phase again. For the current bus, our hope is to continuously partner with new businesses in Utah, and to constantly update what curriculum we offer, so that the bus never gets boring or old. We will continue to add the newest innovations to the makerspace to maintain the wow factor of the bus. We will also continue to try and find easier ways for schools and other organizations to register for a Utah STEM Bus visit.

Evidence Growing that Hamas Used Residential Areas as Cover for Firing Rockets at Israel
(dailyalert.org, Sept. 12, 2014)
Two weeks after the end of the Gaza war, there is growing evidence that Hamas militants used residential areas as cover for launching rockets at Israel. Ahead of a UN investigation, the Israeli military has released reams of evidence, including satellite photos and aerial footage, to support its claims that it acted responsibly and attempted to minimize Palestinian casualties.
Throughout the war, the Israeli air force compiled dozens of video clips showing rockets flying out of residential neighborhoods, cemeteries, schoolyards and mosque courtyards. There are also images of weapons caches uncovered inside mosques.
During the fighting, many observers witnessed rocket launches from urban areas. One video distributed by AP captured a launch in downtown Gaza City that took place in a lot next to a mosque and an office of the Hamas prime minister. "I don't think there's any doubt urban areas were used to launch rockets from the Gaza Strip," said Bill Van Esveld, a senior researcher at Human Rights Watch. (AP-Washington Post)

Ian King, whose family is running a chain of hotels in the Philippines is now Angelina King. He is the husband of Joey Mead,model and host. Mead seems proud of her husband's going out of the closet because she has posted a photo captioned "Freedom," showing both of them in a pool. King reiterated by posting the same photo, saying Mead is her rock and Number one supporter.
Since the marrigae in 2011 the couple is deeply happy and the "change" was widelly accepted not just by friends and family but also by the majority of netizens. Not that their opinion mattered to these two people in love – but this just shows that the Philippines is really changing from very conservative religious culture into a beautiful state of open-mindedness. Loving without judging which is the ultimate goal in living happily.
Mead is right "love is love" indeed no matter what. If people turn their being into their real self and accepted by their love ones, that can be a very beautiful thing – because in a mariage or any relationship fo that matter, it's the friendship that lasts.

Menopause essentially means cessation of the menstrual cycle and occurs in every woman after the age of 45. The decline of female reproductive hormones like oestrogen bring about intense changes in the woman's body like hot flashes, palpitations, osteoporosis, brittle nails, dry skin and vaginal dryness.
While a decline in oestrogen stops the woman's menstrual cycle, it also affects many other bodily functions like that of the liver, heart, the kidneys and the joints. Skin collagen gets affected making the skin dry and inelastic. While women have the option of going in for Hormone Replacement Therapy, it is infinitely better to deal with menopause with the help of these natural cures.
Take a diet that is rich on flavanoids, anti oxidants, fibre and estrogenic components. Eat fruits, papaya seeds, flaxseeds, oats, soya, apples and olives to alleviate the symptoms of menopause and to also maintain good health.
Water Therapy
Have a lot of water. This will help you deal with the hot flashes that seem to occur during menopause. Have coconut water, fruit juices to protect your heart and also for optimal kidney function.
Tone The Skin
For dry and dehydrated skin, use a good scrub and toner. Moisturize it well with essential oils and almond oil. Take a supplement of primrose oil which helps keep your skin in good health.
Mineral And Vitamin E Supplements
Speak to your doctor and take supplements high on zinc, selenium and vitamin E that will counter your symptoms and will also deal with itchy and dry skin.
Vaginal Dryness
Vaginal dryness and inadequate lubrication is another symptom of menopause. To combat it, use some almond oil or baby oil in around your vaginal opening for better lubrication during inter course. You can also make use of over the counter lubricants like KY jelly and astroglide.
Airy And Well Ventilated Living Area
If you experience hot flashes and sleep disturbances, make sure that your room is sufficiently cool and well ventilated. If you are extremely hot, you can take solace from an air conditioner. Wear loose, cotton clothes and avoid caffeinated and carbonated beverages which leave you feeling dehydrated and drained out.Have a cool shower to get rid of hot flashes. Say 'no' to tepid water and hot drinks. Sip on lemonade and butter milk for the extra cooling effect.

Beet Root Juice
Take 40-60 ml of beetroot juice 3-4 times in a day to alleviate the symptoms of menopause.
Except for the evening when hot flashes are at their worst, do take out the time for exercising which will keep your body in good shape. It will also prevent heart disease which is prominent in post menopauseal women. Indulge in cooling exercises like a swim in the pool or an early morning walk in cool and fresh air.
Milk And Turmeric
Have a cool glass of milk at night and dissolve a pinch of turmeric in it. Milk lulls you into sleep and the turmeric has soothing properties that can calm an agitated and stressed mind.
It is very important to relax and meditate. Keep stress and emotional problems at bay. You can opt for yoga and pranayam both of which promote relaxation.

When an audio manufacturer offers a "line" of components, is a more expensive model necessarily better than a less costly one? Not always. The speaker you purchase should be determined less by the heft of your bank account and more by your room requirements, listening style, and taste in music. Taking these things into consideration, I can report that Wilson Audio's next-to-the-bottom-of-the-line loudspeaker, the Duette Series 2 ($22,500 the pair), was just what I was after. And I'm telling you this as someone who has owned bigger Wilson speakers—three iterations of the venerable WATT/Puppy system, to be exact.
I bought WATT/Puppy 2/3s over 20 years ago, subsequently replacing them with 6s and, about four years ago, with Sashas. Along the way, I developed an interest in multichannel music that became a driving force in the development of my audio system. At first I complemented the W/Ps with other quality brands for the center speaker and surrounds; eventually I acquired three of the original Duettes for those channels. This all-Wilson configuration did pretty well with the best discrete multichannel recordings, but it wasn't ideal for my room.
At 15' x 15', my listening space is fairly small, and my devotion to multichannel necessitates a listening position that isn't too close to the rearwall (and the surround speakers). As a result, I had to sit rather close to the front plane of the Sashas, which need to be positioned at least a few feet away from room boundaries—a location that could make the sound too immediate.
I've often wondered if there might be spatial enhancements to be had with both two-channel and surround material if the main speakers could be situated further away and farther apart. Since I had heard that the redesigned Duette was optimized for placement near a wall, when Robert Harley asked if I'd like to review the newer Duettes, I said, "Sure—have them send five."
David Wilson, who has been manufacturing consumer loudspeakers for four decades, is now 70. He's in good health and continues to design speakers and run his company. In the words of Peter McGrath, who is the company's national sales manager and has known Wilson since the early 1970s, "He still drives the bus." But "succession" is something that has long been discussed in this family business, and Dave and Sheryl Lee's son Daryl has emerged as the heir apparent.
"I've grown up with Wilson Audio," Daryl told me. "I twisted cable in my parents' garage back when I was just a little kid, swept parking lots, cleaned the fab shop, answered phones…Wilson Audio is a part of me and it courses through my blood. I want not only to sustain Wilson Audio, but to continue to develop products that are state of the art." In fact, of the 50 or so speakers that Wilson Audio has offered over its history, Daryl has worked on 27 of them. Although he is quick to emphasize the team approach to R&D at the company and to gently play down his relative youth, the Duette Series 2 is largely Daryl Wilson's design. "There are a handful of products that I worked on from beginning to end, and my dad just signed off on. The Duette 2 is a special one for me."
The Series 2 differs in a number of significant ways from the original Duette, which was first marketed a decade ago. That speaker was designed for maximum versatility—for use near walls or away from walls, on stands or on a bookshelf, even oriented horizontally. This need for versatile placement drove many design features and made certain compromises necessary. The sides of the enclosure, for instance, had to be flat for bookshelf mounting, while the system for attaching the speaker to a stand (which involved magnets, metal tiptoes, brass discs, and putty) was not only acoustically sub-optimal but also perilous—an enthusiastic pet or five-year-old could easily send a Duette crashing to the floor. Again, due to the need for flexibile placement, the front baffle had to be perpendicular to the floor, greatly complicating things when it came to driver alignment in this two-way design.
Daryl and others considered actual customer utilization in redesigning the speaker. They discovered that people were mostly using the Duettes on stands, and definitely were not laying them on their sides. So, although you can still buy Duettes with a free-standing Novel crossover that connects to the speaker via an umbilical cord (at a savings of $2500), the usual implementation is with a newly designed stand that has the crossover hidden inside it, as well as a pair of threaded bolts to securely bond the speaker to that stand. The most profound advances with the Series 2 probably derive from the decision to always have the speaker oriented vertically. The vertical orientation allowed for variation in the thickness of the walls of the enclosure, which is fashioned from a phenolic-resin-based composite, Wilson's extremely rigid "X Material." This variability in wall thickness has the effect of breaking up persistent resonances identified via Wilson's sophisticated laser-vibrometry technology. The internal bracing has also been reconfigured accordingly, again using X Material.

Car in my blind spot
like Satan, whom the Lord sees
and protects against
Car in my blind spot
like Satan, whom the Lord sees
and protects against
Bright, prism rainbow
the Lord's promise and glory
in the darkened sky
Bridal veil of light
brilliant, sheer amid dark clouds
God's glorious hope
Golden, sun-lit leaves
pointed pines, puffy white clouds
lift my soul to Thee
A muddy puddle
reflects the glimmering trees above.
God's radiant love
shimmers in my sinful heart.
1) Jesus
I am the child
in you:
Let me play
in your heart.
2) Jesus:
tender, loving
giving, living, touching
fulfilling empty, hungry souls
3) Abba
A child with scratched knee
and tear filled eyes
climbs into his papa's lap
4) To My Mentor
Many were sent to light my way
along the dark and perilous road,
but He chose you
to open the door
for me.
5) A ray of sunshine pierces
the blanket of fog
illuminating the pines and oaks
like God's Spirit does
in me
6) God's children
The brilliant leaves
of the maple tree;
in their passing.
7) My two year old says,
"Why, oh why?"
with such delight!
How rich those words are
for the young–
so full of enchantment
a world to explore!
With anguish, I ask,
"Why, oh why?"
Life's so unfair
there's so much pain and sorrow.
With resignation, Mother says,
"Why? Who knows.
I don't ask anymore."
With faith, Grandmother says,
"I don't know why,
but in the Lord
there is hope for tomorrow."
8) Jorja's Psalm
O Lord, You are too wonderful
for me to comprehend!
You loved me
when I hated You.
You forgave me
when I doubted Your existence.
You saved me
when I only vaguely understood
I needed saving.
And when I asked You
to take possession of me
You filled me with such great
joy, love and peace
that it welled up and up
it splashed down my cheeks
in silver tears
which You collected
in a special devotional cup.
O Lord,
I love You so!
I truly yearn to be like You!
So perfect, pure and holy,
so giving.
How unlike men You are!
They point out my sins
with wounding fingers
that offer no healing.
But You, O Lord,
reveal my sins tenderly, lovingly
always providing the remedy.
O Lord, how can You be so patient
with me?
You offer Your forgiveness
so freely
I sometimes have difficulty
accepting it as readily.
Why can't I forgive myself
as easily as You do?
Instead, I often choose
to wallow in self-condemnation
or self-pity
until I feel
I've suffered enough
for my transgressions–
wasting valuable time
that should be spent
in prayer, in praise,
in serving You.
Help me, Lord,
to trust You more:
to trust You so completely
that once I surrender
a problem to You
I never attempt
to take it back.
Let "worry" and "anxiety" disappear
from my vocabulary
O Lord,
Please make me
like Jesus.
