This plus-size back belt is a great brace for many different conditions and injuries. For example, it helps relieve moderate pain in the lower back, lumbar muscle weakness, and sprains or strains to your back. In addition, this bariatric belt is very beneficial for those who may be overweight or are considered an obese individual.
Read more below about the different features, conditions it helps treat, and why it's the best brace for you!
The crisscross overlay of this plus-size back belt help hold the back in proper position and it covers a wide expanse of the back, providing support and stability to lessen the strain on the tissues of the back. An additional benefit of these straps is that they apply compression to your abdominal region, which can be helpful for reducing any painful inflammation or swelling. The double-pull elastic tension straps are also helpful for getting the ideal amount of compression and support.
This big plus-size back support is composed of premium-quality elastic that hugs the body so that it fits well under your clothes or garments while permitting motion. But don't fear—the flexible anti-roll stays prevent the XXXL back support from bunching up and slipping out of position. The obesity belt can be worn during the day as well as at night when you're sleeping, depending on your condition. This bariatric back brace comes in a discreet white color, also making it easy to wear beneath clothes.
The simple contact closure on the XXL back brace makes it easy for someone struggling with back pain to apply and adjust the back support for large people. Since the band closes in the front of your stomach, you don't have to worry about twisting or turning which could further injure your back. The Velcro closures are also easy to grab, especially for those who may have arthritis of the hands.
It also comes with four plastic stays located on the back side of the brace that you can remove if you wish to decrease the amount of support that is provided by the brace. For those who are trying to wean their dependency of wearing such belts for big and tall individuals, this component is essential in helping you do so.
In comparison to all the many products out there for sale, this brace not only treats numerous different conditions but is great for all shapes and sizes of individuals. This core support belt works on both men and women and comes in sizes xl, 2xl, 3xl, and 4xl. You no longer have to worry about struggling to find the right lower back girdle that fits just right. Aside from this brace having an array of sizes, you can wear it anytime of the day. If you're someone who enjoys moderate physical activity, you can keep the corset brace on your waist the whole time giving you maximum relief. Since it is lightweight and discreet, you can wear it at work, home, standing all day, etc.
Low back pain is one of the most debilitating and expensive conditions in America. According to ABC News,80% of Americans will suffer back pain at some point in their lives and this condition costs more than $90 billion each year in terms of lost productivity and days of work.
There are a number of things to blame for chronic or acute lumbar back pain. For example, some include general degeneration of the discs, vertebrae, joints, a sedentary lifestyle, poor posture (especially when sitting), improper lifting form, wearing shoes with overly high heels or carrying a heavy purse can all contribute to lower back pain.
Yes! This xl or 4x brace is great for those who are suffering from a muscle strain, sprain, or weakness in their back. Since all of these are very likely to recur, it's extremely essential to provide your back with the support it needs during the recovery process.
Back muscle strains, sprains, and pulls are caused by many different factors. Some that may make you more prone to such injuries include lifting heavy objects frequently, partaking in high contact sports, having poor posture, and being overweight.
Wearing extra large supports such as this one can help tremendously with your pain. By wearing lumbosacral obesity braces, the pressure or strain that otherwise would be placed on your spine will be relieved. Girdles like this one for back pain, help apply that compression you need to heal your strain, sprain, or muscle pull.
In addition to those conditions, this extra wide back brace can help you get the relief you need if you're suffering from degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, and bulging discs.
This brace definitely helps those who are heavy or xlarge as the many Velcro closures completely support your belly. This men's back brace allows you to completely customize the level of compression you'd like. You can adjust it throughout the day depending on what you're doing or you can tighten it to increase the level of support. If you are overweight, this plus-size back brace for the low back can enable you to partake in a more active lifestyle by supporting the lumbar back and applying compression to reduce inflammation that is often the source of pain.
There have been many studies that have shown a correlation between being overweight and lower back pain. The excess weight or fat that is being carried around by a larger individual directly results how much pressure is placed on your spine. The more the weight, the more the strain or work your spine has to endure to keep your body upright. This ultimately leads those individuals prone to many different back conditions from obesity, including moderate or mild back pain. You can read more about how obesity is related to back issues and injuries here.
Do you think you're considered obese? Take this quick BMI test to figure out.
How do I know which size to get?
Using a fabric tape measure, measure the circumference around the widest part of your buttocks. This brace fits body circumference of 46" up to 69"
How do I adjust the brace?
Grab the double-pull tension straps (located on the outside of the brace) and adjust them to make it either tighter or looser, then re-apply the Velcro closures.
How do I put on the brace?
Unhook all Velcro closures and lay the brace flat on the floor to identify the top side. The top has openings, which allow you to remove the plastic stays. Next, position the brace behind your body so it's centered on your back with the bottom of the brace sitting at the widest part of your body. Fold the left side of the brace towards the middle of your stomach. Do the same with the right side but pull firmly and secure the Velcro closure. Repeat this process with the double-pull tension straps for your desired compression level.
Can I wash the brace?
To wash the brace, first, remove stays and close all Velcro closures. Hand wash in warm water with mild soap. Do not use bleach. The brace should be air-dried. Do not use high temperatures to wash or dry.
Can I sleep in the brace?
Thanks to the lightweight, latex-free material make it possible for you to sleep comfortably in this brace. It's advised to speak with a medical professional before wearing a brace for an extended amount of time.
What conditions does it help treat?
This belly support band can help treat moderate lower back pain, muscle strains, tears, or pulls, bulging discs, herniated discs, and hip pain. It can also help those who are obese individuals suffering from excess pain in their lumbar back.

Classification Schemes
The materials in Camden Theological Library are arranged on the shelves by subject.
A new classification system was implemented from the start of 2009. This is called the Library of Congress or LC classification system. Older books will continue to be shelved using the previous shelving sequence.
All library materials (other than Journals, which are shelved alphabetically by title) are given a classification number, to help you find where they are shelved.
To find items on the shelves you need to:
- Note the collection where it is shelved
- Write down the complete call number. This will match up with the spine label
- Note whether the record says 'Available' or 'On Loan'.

On June 29th,
I had the pleasure of decorating Amarante's Sea Cliff in New Haven, Connecticut.
My two wonderful assistants and I arrived around one in the afternoon to start the transformation of the waterfront grand ball room! We were busy for hours- laying out burlap table runners, wrapping silverware with burlap and starfish, putting out the many centerpieces, and making sure everything looked perfect for the special day.
We wish the bride and groom, Shannon and Jesse, a lifetime of happiness!

Washington: In a new study, researchers have suggested a new way to develop drugs and vaccines to tackle malaria.
Research into malaria parasites, which exist in male and female forms and mate to spread the disease, suggests that treatments would be more likely to succeed if designed to target female forms of the parasite.
Scientists found that male parasites can adapt to new surroundings faster than the females.
When malaria infects the bloodstream after a mosquito bite, the male parasites are better able to react quickly to repeated attacks by the immune system and so are likely to be harder to treat with drugs and vaccines.
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh, who took part in the study, examined the genetic fingerprint of various species of malaria parasites at different stages in their life cycles.
They found that genes associated with male parasites tended to evolve faster over time than those of females.
Targeting the females would be more likely to succeed in killing the infection in the long term and would prevent the parasites from breeding and spreading.
The research, carried out in collaboration with the University of Glasgow, Leiden University Medical Centre, Netherlands, and the Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics in Warsaw of the Polish Academy of Sciences was supported by the Wellcome Trust, the European Union, the Polish Ministry of Science and the Foundation for Polish Science.
"Malaria is notorious for evolving to evade treatment – it is crucial that drugs and vaccines are designed to target the slower, female, form of the parasite," Dr Sarah Reece from the University of Edinburgh's School of Biological Sciences, who co-led the study, said.
The study has been published in the journal Evolution, Medicine and Public Health.

A Good Day
After yesterday I felt like things got better
I woke up today feeling really bright and happy and so did Pickle. She was in a superb mood, not that she very often is in a bad or grumpy mood but it was like we'd both got out the wrong side of the bed (or cot!) yesterday. Today felt very different and the weather helped, that gorgeous crisp autumnal coldness with blue skies and sunshine so I decided to take us on a walk to our gorgeous local park, we shared some cake while sitting on a bench and then walked home. All was right again….apart from the little tantrum she had because I wouldn't let her play in the mud! But she soon forgot about that when I handed her a bottle for the walk home.

With an overwhelming, and somewhat surprising, difference in the outcome - Now You See Me won pretty easily.
So, off I went. And by the time I was seeing it, I was one of the few people in the theater - which I love.
The film stars an unlikely quartet as the Four Horsemen. Jesse Eisenberg plays J. Daniel Atlas, and is probably the most talented magician of the bunch - and he plays a little different than his usual quirky roles he has played in the past in say Social Network. He is actually sort of playing a stud - which was nice to see him play something different, and I came away liking him a little bit more.
Isla Fisher plays Henley Reeves, Atlas' former assistant who has now branched out on her own and is now more of an escape artist, ala Harry Houdini. She is also very talented, and I think we need more of her in films. Woody Harrelson plays Merritt McKinney, who is more of a mentalist than a magician. Harrelson has become one of my favorite actors over the years, he always seems to do an amazing job.
The surprise of the movie - Dave Franco. Franco plays Jack Wilder, a street magician who uses slight of hand to pretty much rob those around him. Franco sort of sticks out as not really belonging in this group of actors - sure maybe his brother James would fit in, but Dave? But, honestly, he was a standout to me. He was probably my favorite person in the movie.
So, the Four Horsemae are brought together by a bunch of Tarot cards and an unknown benefactor. They join forces to put on a handful of shows, which are sponsored by an insurance tycoon Arthur Tressler (Michael Caine).
Their show, though, doesn't just entertain the audience - it makes them wealthy. By robbing from a bank and showering the money out into the audience. But, how did they do it?
With more shows in the future, the authorities believe this will continue and FBI agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo) and Interpol agent Alma Dray (Melanie Laurent) are put on the case to figure out how it was done so they can pin it on the Four Horsemen.
They also bring in Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman), a former magician who now makes money revealing the secrets of other magicians' tricks. It's Bradley that Rhodes and Dray are hoping can figure out how the robberies are taking place.
I cam away really loving this movie. It had a lot of what I love, a great heist, great execution, action and a lot of comedy. Though, some forced love occurred as well - something that always seems to happen in these films. There was no real reason for it, but it didn't take away from anything.
The acting was top-notch, Caine, Freeman and Ruffalo are all outstanding actors. The lowest tiered actor was Franco, and as I said before, he stoodout to me in this film.
There are some twists and turns as well, some of which I figured out during, but it didn't take away from the overall movie. Looking forward to seeing it again.

At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Depp) was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Redmayne). But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings. In an effort to thwart Grindelwald's plans, Albus Dumbledore (Law) enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.

For lunch hubby and I had a "date" at Hanagushi at Lan Kwai Fong, this large Japanese restaurant that's not street level, is quite pricey and yet always full. Hubby had his usual beef fillet cubes on rice with raw egg (HKD 185), a teppanyaki of sorts with very tender beef and a sweetish sauce you can ask extras of (not exactly teriyaki but addicting!). Of course beef paired with sticky, hot Japanese rice with lots of sauce to dribble over is always a sure winner.
I had their yakitori set lunch (HKD 220) which came with miso soup, Japanese fried rice and dessert. Skewers of mushroom stuffed with minced chicken, giant asparagus, chicken fillet with leeks (they call it long onions), chicken balls, chicken wings and chicken liver arrived one after the other. All in all a happy birthday lunch. Not exactly the prices you would find at the "set lunch" places in Soho, and I was surprised with the crisis and all there were people waiting for a table at 1:30 pm, but that's HK for you. We were there because it was my birthday, they were there just because.
Dinner was supposed to be at Grissini (the Grand Hyatt's Italian restaurant) but hubby has been wait listed for a week (see what I mean? people in HK are still eating out, and eating well!) so we opted for Baci instead. Little boy was with us (I think he's old enough to go to proper restaurants and is adventurous enough to not go home hungry). We shared the rich and creamy porcini and black truffle risotto, a tomato, basil and spicy salami pizza, and fresh tagliatelle with rabbit ragout. Little boy ate tons of the crisp flatbread, tried the pesto dip, ate 2 slices of pizza, finished off his half order of bolognese, and ate a lot of the tagliatelle (without the rabbit, which all of us found too gamey).
Little boy loves eating out, whether at a formal restaurant, a cafe or his favorite HKD 16 noodle shop. He probably takes after me, the one who gets excited at the mere thought of eating someone else's cooking.
No cake or dessert for us on this day, no candle-blowing either. I'm trying to eat healthier this time around, and not gain as much as I did with Little boy.

Russia Yanks Google From Android TabletsSep 04, 2012, 10:00 (0 Talkback[s])
Russia's answer to this problem is the Russian Mobile Operating System (RoMOS), unveiled in the sidelines of the IFA event in Berlin, according to reports. RoMOS has the look and feel of Android, but does not call home to send your data and is virtually hack-proof, the developers claim. It also uses Russia's own GPS alternative, the GLONASS or the Global Navigation Satellite System, in the eventuality the U.S. government shuts down the GPS system. The iPhone 4S also supports GLONASS.

2017 Top 25 5-1 (Brandon Kempf)
5. Whistle Stop(3 plays) - Around here we still love, Ticket to Ride and we still love Carcassonne as well. So when a game comes along that reminds us of both a bit, it really has an unfair advantage and also some may say, unfair expectations. Rarely does a game live up to them the way that Whistle Stop does. In reality, the only thing similar to Ticket to Ride here is the fact that it is trains and you are building train routes, and the only thing similar to Carcassonne is that you are laying tiles to build out the train network. Everything else kind of diverges away from those two. Whistle Stop is ultimately a race, it's a race to get your trains across the map to the west in the most efficient way possible, while collecting resources and churning those resources into victory points. Along the way you will have some very rudimentary stock play, you have some really fun resource management, some fun player powers, if you pick them up, and ultimately a really good time. Personally, I love the color choices, but I can see how others might have some issues with them, but that's about the only issue I can find at the moment.
4. Memoarrr!(8 plays) - The silliest of the games on this list and I had a difficult time wrapping my head around the fact that Memoarrr! ended up this high on the list, but I can't deny the joy and downright competitiveness that this game has brought to the table. How a game, that is at its core "just a" simple little memory game, makes people so ultra competitive is absolutely boggling to watch. For more on how to play this one, check out my review, otherwise I will just ramble on about how much fun I've had and you won't understand what they heck I am talking about. I don't know about North American distribution on this one, but it is available via Amazon.de for a reasonable amount. Also, could this surprise us and be an SDJ nominee? I don't know, I think it is almost too light for the SDJ but lacking the toy factor to get a Kinder nomination, so who knows. It deserves either one.
3. Sentient(4 plays) - So, the fifth Renegade Games title on the list and my favorite one from 2017. At its essence, Sentient is really just a puzzle that you have to figure out each round, a puzzle that changes each round due to the dice. You have roll those dice at the beginning of each round and then you have cards that you will buy to place in your tableau that will adjust those dice to the left and right of that card, hopefully they will adjust in the way that you need. It really shouldn't work as well as it does, but it's pretty flawless from what I can tell in my handful of plays. There is the puzzle to solve, there is some area majority bonuses as well, all in all a really well done game from J. Alex Kevern and Renegade Games. I've gotten over the cost of this one, although when I first purchased it, that was a bitter pill for me to swallow. I still think that's what is hurting this one, more so than game play, because it's good, damn good.
2. Azul(16 plays) - If you listen to the podcast, and if you follow me on Twitter, Reddit or Board Game Geek, you know how I feel about Azul. Which is why I am surprised that it sits at number 2 instead of number 1. Michael Kiesling has so many wonderful designs out there for us to play, it was weird for me to see most everyone falling in love with one of his designs for the first time, and I'm hopeful that Heaven & Ale will elicit the same feelings. In this, the year of the puzzle game 2017, this was the epitome of that puzzle. A wonderfully interactive set collecting, tile laying puzzle. The game would have been fantastic with cardboard, but Plan B knocked this one out of the park with the production, with those tiles that may look like Starbursts, but in reality are a wonderful abstraction of actual tiles. I absolutely love this game, even if I do only win it 25% of the time. Of note, we do play with the Joker Tiles about every other play, and we have still never played with the "free for all" side of the player boards, we've felt no need to even try those yet. This will be nominated for SDJ if the distrubution is out there and I believe that it is, given the fact that Plan B owns Eggertspiele now.
1. Majesty For the Realm(16 plays) - Which brings us to this, the surprise number one game for 2017. I've got a full review for this coming, and I wanted to have that full review up before Z-Man finally got it here in the US, but honestly, I've been having too much fun playing it, to write about it. This is Marc André's follow up to Splendor, we're going to forget about Barony here. I liked Splendor for about 10 plays, after that, I grew very tired of it. So I didn't go into this expecting world shattering fun, but honestly, Majesty hasn't been too far off. In all, this is a simple card drafting/set collection game where each card you bring into your Realm, activates the power of the building that they work in to make money, and the object of the game is to be the Realm with the most coins at the end. You draft cards(workers) from the public offer by paying for them in that Smallworld/Century Spice Road/Firenze method where you pay something to each card to the right of the card that you want. It works wonderfully and Majesty plays like a well oiled machine. To give a bit more variability, each card in your realm has an A side and a B side. The sides offer different powers and different ways to get more money, they even suggest that it's possible to mix and match the A & B sides, but we haven't even tried it that way. I think part of the joy I've had with Majesty is trying to combat what some perceive as a soldier strategy, which while powerful, it most certainly can be overcome and how each game plays will also differ based on how the cards come out. Not every card is in every game, especially in the lower player counts where you only use 6 or 14 of the first era cards. Every game plays just a bit different. The only flaw we can think of is that the game for some reason didn't come with any 5 denomination chips, you have 1s, 2s, 10s, 50s & 100s. So you will constantly be making change, which, now that I mention it, may be part of the fun as well. This could be, and I stress could be, a wonderful expanding game, as evidenced by the extra space in the box and some playtesters reporting on some buildings that they played that were not included in the base game.
So as you can kind of tell, 2017 was the year that I re-discovered the joy that is family style/gateway gaming. I played a few heavier titles this year, but ultimately, I found my time around the table being spent playing more of these 30 minute to 1 hour games that pack an awful lot of punch into a shorter play time. We'll also notice that only 5 of these titles were Kickstarter games, and only 3 of those were games that I myself backed on Kickstarter. This is a pattern that I've seen coming over the past couple years. While I think there are a lot of fantastic games coming via crowdfunding, I still think that the care that some, and I stress some, not all, retail publishers take makes them stand taller. There are Kickstarter companies that do the same thing, but I think most are kind of rushed, just due to the nature of crowdfunding.
A few stats for 2017 before I end this.
2017 published titles played - 74
Total plays of 2017 published titles - 258
Different titles played in 2017 - 198
Most plays - Werewords(32)
The people I played most with(in order) - Kerensa, Gabby, Chris, Brad, Chris M., Kate, John & AnnaBeth
I played 10 Games, at least 10 times
I played 26 Games, at least 5 times
Time spent playing The Colonists - 22 hours(3 games)
I am really looking forward to 2018. I think there are a lot of great games coming and more importantly I think that there are a lot of great games already here.

I cook for everyone else in my family, why not add Groovy-James and Sidney Holler?
The dogs have been eating Fresh Pet Select dog food on top of a bit of natural kibble. I like that their food seems "real" and not like a bunch of byproducts and fillers. So, why not take it to the next level and start making them their food?
I've been reading up on it and as it turns out, Groovy-James and Sidney can have a similar diet to mine. Other than not being able to tolerate spices and having to keep it bland, they'll be able to stay strong and healthy when eating plain white rice, peas, carrots and unseasoned, baked chicken. So, that's what I have made them. I will keep reading and accumulating recipes in an effort to change things up for them from time to time.
And they love it!
I think that I'll still add the kibble to their food to give it a little bit of crunch! But they seem very happy with their homemade dog food!

In Reply to: AR's Norfolk dialect posted by Peter Hyland on January 04, 2016 at 06:53:22:
Having had many conversations with a Norfolk man who could have stood in for Harry Bangate, I reckon AR knew the Norfolk accent, or at least the Broadland accent, pretty well.
I think the Times leader got it just right.

Buzkashi: Game and Power in Afghanistan. By G. Whitney Azoy. 2nd Edition 2003, Waveland Press.
For many years I had delayed reading Buzkashi. I assumed it was merely an obvious metaphor that had been slapped onto a hopefully entertaining narrative of this Afghan "mounted goat rugby from hell" game. It is that, but it it also an excellent anthropological exploration of power and relationships in rural Afghanistan. Not only was I wrong, I was angry at myself for not reading this book sooner since it is such a valuable tool for understanding the politics and power struggles that happen beyond the elite circles of Kabul and, formerly, the jihadi party hang-outs of Peshawar (this book even covers those two "arenas" as well).
First of all, the book is a good read. And it is hard to find solid scholarship that is also entertaining. The real life characters are quite engaging. You really start to feel for the tragic figure of Habib, the champion player who played the film role of a tough rider who knocks Omar Sharif senseless at the beginning of the movie The Horsemen. Habib, a Hazara from a very modest background has Buzkashi, his family and nothing else. His immense skill on the playing field earns him the respect of the locals, and even a 1970s trip to France where he is found lost on the streets by some friendly French cops. Habib is left wondering why the police treated him so well, considering that he is Hazara. Later, Habib's skill on the field start to diminish with age. And then he is pressured into voicing support for the Communists. Habib then tries to atone for his actions by aiding the mujahideen in secret. Many other characters fill the pages and provide anecdotes to illustrate the often changing power relationships in Afghanistan: the lowly, pathetic town crier who sings the praises of the riders; the Pashtun governor who humiliates a local Uzbek Khan and then has an assistant fetch his sawed-off shotgun in case the locals decide to make a move; the Khan whose preliminary organizing of a Buzkashi match is going badly, therefore reflecting badly on his level of respect in the area; etc…
Photo: if not a goat, then a calf.
For me, beyond the entertainment factor, is the valuable analysis provided by the book. The analysis of power and relationships in rural Afghanistan provided is very wide: the rise and fall of local Khans, the relationship between the central government and local power figures, the relationship between the local khan and his often fluctuating number of followers, the importance of respect and honor, the manifestations of power and lack thereof demonstrated in ways far too subtle to be noticed by a newcomer, the ephemeral nature of power in Afghanistan, the "intrusion" of the government into rural areas, the battle for resources, etc… I could go on for quite a while like this.
I could continue on with praise and further insight into the book. But I'll cut it short and just say that I've read quite a few books on Afghanistan, and Whitney Azoy's Buzkashi is in my top 5. Notice how works by anthropologists seem to be timeless?
And the good news is that at 151 pages Buzkashi is a quick and efficient read. Plus it is only $15 on Amazon.
Bonus feature! Sly Stallone plays buzkashi with "Afghans" before the game is rudely interrupted by the Soviets.

As we all know, you shouldn't buy anything before getting to know the basics of it. And, when it comes to sex swings, informing yourself is even more important. After all, if you don't think it through, you might end up with an injury.
So, what do you have to know before you buy a sex swing?
The Weight Capacity
The very first thing you should check is the weight capacity of the sex swing you wish to buy. We would also recommend only purchasing a sex swing that can handle more than what you weigh. If you take a sex swing that isn't strong enough, you or your partner can get hurt.
The Adjustability
Considering how you want to use the swing is also a very good idea. Some couples like to take turns on the swing, so it is important for them to be able to adjust the swing to their respective body sizes. Also, you will want a sex swing that allows you to try multiple positions. And this is where reading reviews can come in handy.
The Installation
When it comes to installation, there are multiple things you have to consider. For example, do you plan to drill holes in your ceiling or not? Do you have enough room to set everything up? Will you need to hide the installation?
Once you figure those out, you can choose the type of a sex swing you wish to use.
Single or Double Hook Design?
As a general rule, we like recommending two hooks for newbies. They usually offer more stability and safety to you and your partner. However, a single hook comes with its advantages. Not only does it occupy less space, but it also allows the user to move around freely, thus a possibility of multiple orgasm.
The Cost
Determining your budget is a very important step in every purchase you plan on making. Some sex swings go for as low as 40 dollars, while some installations can cost over $500.
The Number of Straps
If you haven't already notice, sex swings usually come with straps. Some of them offer straps that go around the thighs or arms, while some have straps that are there to allow the one in the swing to rest their feet. Additional straps will allow you to distribute your weight better and make yourself comfortable. They also increase your stability during sex.
The Attachments
The ability to customize your sex swing gives you a lot of freedom during the purchase. Namely, if you buy a sex swing and later find it to be too simple, you can always buy attachments for it. For example, you can add additional straps, headrests, handles, and other attachments at any point.
Essentially, you can start out with an inexpensive sex swing for your first purchase. One without any bells and whistles. And, you can then expand the capabilities of your sex swing at a later moment in time. That way, you don't risk spending too much money on the first purchase, and you still keep the ability to expand upon the capabilities of the swing.

Process Engineer
US Silica is always exploring new technologies and projects to improve plant output and the Process Engineer will be responsible for determining which solutions should be tested and implemented. The Process Engineer will be responsible for the development of new processes including creating the mass, balance, water balance, and process flow. The Process Engineer will work with the project engineers and plant personnel to determine equipment selections and they will oversee the commissioning of critical components and insure quality and throughput specifications are met. In some cases, the Process Engineer may act as the project manager, project engineer, and construction manager on projects, but in most cases that responsibility will fall to the project engineers. In addition, continuous improvement of existing processes as well as trouble shooting quality and production issues with the plant is a critical part of the job. Strong interpersonal skills are necessary as the process engineer will work directly with operators, plant management, engineering teams, vendors, corporate lab technicians, and as well as interfacing with Corporate Environmental, Safety, IT, Operations, Maintenance, and Finance teams to insure that all federal, state, and local regulations are being followed as well as all US Silica Policies and Guidelines.
· The Process Engineer will oversee new technologies and improvement processes as well as the development of new processes and the creation of mass balance, water balance, and equipment specifications that allow our facilities to meet the ever-changing demands of our customers and the market. To do that, he or she will work closely with the plants to better understand variability and how to allow for it in the system.
· The Process Engineer will also need to maximize production and the recovery of systems by doing testing and adjusting the process as needed.
· The Process Engineer will also oversee the commission of new equipment and systems.
· The Process Engineer will also work closely with new and existing plants on nearly all continuous improvement and capital projects. These requires he or she to be in constant communication and coordination with the plant and its personnel. The projects can be anything including scheduling plant outages, keeping the plant abreast of contractor work areas and safety hazards arising from project work, and assisting with the training of operators and maintenance personnel.
· The Process Engineer must also work closely with corporate and plant safety and environmental personnel to make sure that all permit requirements are met as well as all US Silica, MSHA, and OSHA guidelines
· The Process Engineer will also closely monitor the work of contractor(s) and verify that they are working safely, following approved plans, and complying with the budget and schedule that has been set. The Process Engineer will also need to be available to answer any questions or issues that may arise as the work is being done, such as RFIs, RFQs, and RFPs.
Purchasing Activities:
· The Process Engineer must follow all US Silica Purchasing Guidelines and work closely with the plant or corporate purchasing agent to develop the proper specifications and identify the correct vendors.
· The Process Engineer will be responsible for writing and submitting requisitions and receiving invoices.
Safety and Environmental:
· The Process Engineer will work closely with the safety and environmental departments to identify any issues, update safety systems, maintain compliance, automate compliance documentation, as well as detect and single out any compliance situations or possible safety hazards.
· Bachelor's Degree, preferably in engineering
· 10+ years of relevant work experience in lieu of a degree will be considered
· PMP is a plus, but not a requirement
· Minimum of 5+ years of project or construction management
· Must have experience in process engineering and mineral industry, as well as knowledge of mineral processing unit operations
· Must demonstrate a knowledge of cost-benefit analysis
· Strong ability to multitask and change priorities
· Ability to relate well with other, both up and down the chain of command
· Ability to work well in a team-based environment, as well as alone
· Ability to identify a problem and act to solve it without guidance
· Ability to work in a constantly changing environment; process emergencies will interrupt daily work tasks
· Ability to be flexible as requirements or business needs may change from time to time which requires a similar technical and managerial adaptability
· Can work from home but must be able to travel50% of the time, this can also include areas that may experience inclement weather
· Working well with others is an essential part of the Process Engineer. He or she must be able to work well with others in both a leadership and subordinate role depending on the circumstances.
· At times, the Process Engineer will need to lead projects and direct team members on what is needed. At other times, they will need to work for team members on the specific tasks of a project.
· The Process Engineer must work closely with plant personnel, plant management, purchasing, IT, Logistics, and Finance to ensure the success of all capital projects.

Soccer roundup: Bonzelet, Lakers move to 7-0
Glen Lake soccer players know what to expect from Allie Bonzelet.
"I don't think I've ever seen her give up on the ball," junior defender Irma Howard said of her classmate. "It's great having a girl with that talent up there. We can count on her when we need a goal."
The Lady Lakers had plenty of Bonzelet goals to count last week as the midfielder found the back of the net eight times in five games, extending her goal-scoring streak to seven.
More importantly, the team extended its winning streak to seven.
Glen Lake closed out the 5-0 week—which included shutout wins over Leland and Suttons Bay—on Monday by winning at Benzie 8-0.
"They were getting open shots and taking advantage of their opportunities," coach Andy Smith said. "We've kind of hit our stride. Right now, the girls are very comfortable with each other. They're finding the runs, finding the plays and executing quite well."
Glen Lake (7-0, 2-0 Northwest) controlled the midfield, dictated the tempo and found ways to create opportunities from the get-go.
Bonzelet and Jen LaCross had hat tricks; Annie Lively and Lili Kaastra scored one goal apiece. Karrigan LaCross added three assists; Lillie Diotte had two. Bonzelet and Kaastra added one assist apiece, as well.
The team will open up a three-game homestand with games against Alpena, Leland and Kingsley on Friday, Monday and Wednesday, respectively.
Metcalf, Comets shut out Stags
Mollie Grishaw supplied the lone goal for Leland on Monday as the Comets captured a 1-0 win at Kingsley.
"We were happy to leave in regulation after a long week and hearing that Glen Lake went to overtime with them," Leland coach Joe Burda said. "We didn't know what to expect."
Gigi Anhut assisted on Grishaw's goal, which came at about the seven-minute mark of the first half.
Kira Metcalf secured her third shutout of the season, stopping five shots.
The Comets (4-2-1, 2-0 Northwest), who were slated to take on Suttons Bay at home in league action last night, will host Elk Rapids on Friday.
Bulldogs trip up Lady Norse
Suttons Bay struggled to score and the Traverse City Bulldog Athletic Association took advantage.
Offensive woes were the Achilles' heel on Monday as the Lady Norse slipped up against the Bulldogs, 3-2.
"Soccer is a cruel game and we experienced it," Suttons Bay coach Tom Spencer said. "What's important is that we learn from it and grow from it. We didn't capitalize on our opportunities, but give them credit. They won."
Sydney Deadman and Paige Kohler both tallied their fourth goals of the season in the loss. Emily Halverson and Haley Tarsa had one assist apiece.
The Lady Norse (3-2-1, 1-1 Northwest) will follow up last night's game at Leland with a league showdown at Kingsley on Monday.
Lakers win Hart Invitational
Allie Bonzelet scored two goals, Mackenzie Steel scored one and the Glen Lake girls shut out Leland in the Hart Invitational championship game on Saturday 3-0.
"It was kind of a long drive to meet up with Glen Lake, but that was OK," Leland coach Joe Burda said with a laugh. "Glen Lake handed us a pretty deserved loss. ... It was one of those bittersweet things to see them down there, but at least we got a chance to see them. Now we know what we're up against."
The Lakers knocked off Kalkaska 2-0 and Montague 3-1 en route to the title game. Bonzelet scored in both games while Margot Hazael- Massieux, Annie Lively and Annabel Skrocki found the back of the net once.
Leland beat Hart 5-3 and Ravenna 5-0. Goal scorers were Mollie Grishaw (five goals), Rowan Wilson (four) and Delaney Drake (one).
Glen Lake blanks Suttons Bay
Allie Bonzelet and Annabel Skrocki scored one goal apiece and Stephanie Purifoy made 12 saves as Glen Lake sent visiting Suttons Bay home with a 2-0 defeat last Wednesday.
"That was a tough game," Glen Lake coach Andy Smith said. "North Bay came out and played with a lot of energy. They looked to create problems for us, but we were able to keep control of the ball and the game."
Skrocki, who assisted on Bonzelet's goal, opened the scoring about five minutes into the first half.
Smith said Purifoy, who made a big save on a Sydney Deadman breakaway in the second half, made the difference.
Grishaw nets four, Comets cruise
Mollie Grishaw recorded a first-half hat trick at Benzie last Wednesday as Leland got back to its winning ways with a convincing 6-0 victory.
Grishaw continued her huge night in the second half, adding a fourth goal. Delaney Drake and Rowan Wilson added one goal and one assist apiece. Mattie Burda had one assist.
"The girls earned a lot of confidence tonight," Leland coach Joe Burda said.
Burda credited the 14-1 shot differential to Julie Bardenhagen, Grace Noorman and Talia Yaakoby.

EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!!! Which means I can finally get back to what I've been doing before studying and all-nighters at Starbucks took over my life — nothing. Or rather, catch up on TV shows and dramas, K-pop, spend time on Tumblr, as well as get back into the writing groove for Dinoseoul.
Today not only marked the day of my last paper but also the day B.A.P took LA by storm during their Live on Earth concert. My Twitter feed was filled with live updates and stream after stream of fancams and I think I must have downloaded at least 50 fancams, some of which are really decent. Of course, I wasn't there since I'm stuck all the way on the wrong side of the world (please will someone release the ticketing details for LOE SG already T_T)… I haven't watched most of the fancams yet, except for a really good 'One Shot' one that I swear to god almost made me tear up in public because ~first ever~ live OT6 performance. I've also watched the special stages and I'll admit I have BangHim's 'Sexy Clap' performance on repeat because… well look.
Yongguk's got mooooves and Himchan… I don't know what he was doing patting his crotch and wiggling his butt in the middle of the song but, I'll take it. DaeJae's 'I Believe I Can Fly' was sadly boring and was totally the wrong choice for Daehyun's voice and suited Youngjae's so so much better. And then you have maknae line doing the dougie (which wasn't terribly exciting since they did it in Seoul too) but then the music cuts off and Jongup falls dramatically to the floor AND THEN the school bell from 'Never Give Up' plays and everyone's screaming because holy crap are we getting Moon & Zelo for this??????? Jongup's totally working the red hair. Come to think of it, red seems to be a k-pop hair trend that can't really go wrong. Hmm.
Wasn't it the cutest?! They have so much chemistry onstage and they're pretty much BFFs in real life and I love the dance break and their high five exchange during the 'clap your hands' part towards the end. I-just ugh Moon & Zelo sub-unit please, TS.
I have to say that US-BABYs are totally awesome and quick with their fancams though. With LOE Seoul, it took a few days before fancams started being released properly and even so, they were all at most 1-minute cuts but here, so many of them are in full and 1080p. So, so thankful. I'll definitely try and return the favour, that is, if LOE SG goes according to plan (FML). Sometimes I want to cry because I love B.A.P so much… and then I think to myself, "Justine, just what are you doing with your life?"
And then I feel thankful that at least I have people who will always love me unconditionally – no matter what happens. It's a little late since Parent's Day in Korea literally just passed (it's on 8 May) but sometimes it'll strike me randomly, just how grateful I am to have my mum and dad in my life so I just wanted to write a little something to express that.
Since young, family has always been the most important thing in my life and growing up, what with peer pressure and puberty, I'm really glad that I never grew apart from them and that we still manage daily homecooked meals as best as we can as well as frequent family holidays/gatherings. And my mum made kimchi friend rice for the first time (in honour of me, she says lol) for dinner today to celebrate the end of my exams and it was so good!
Perhaps its the hellish exam period that's made me realise this more than ever, but my parents really are so supportive. Like my mum forwent going to the gym this morning just so she could come home on time and make sure I woke up and wouldn't miss my paper (since I was late the week before when she did go). Or how my dad would ask every single time whether my paper went okay and I'd snap back that it was terrible ~as usual~ and he'd be all understanding. It's the little things like these that make me look back and feel so loved. And they deal with my shit every single day and so, I'm just really glad for them. I love you both so much!!!

Denileukin Diftitox Drug Information
A healthcare provider may prescribe denileukin diftitox (Ontak®) for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma when other chemotherapy treatments have failed. It is administered by a healthcare provider in a healthcare setting. Each dose is given as an intravenous (IV) injection for five days in a row, once every three weeks.
This drug is specifically approved for treating cancer that has a certain protein on the surface of the cells. After binding to these proteins, denileukin diftitox releases diphtheria toxin, which causes the cancer cells to die.
Although it may be an effective medication, not everyone can use this drug. Information on denileukin diftitox should be reviewed with your healthcare provider before starting treatment to help ensure this is the right chemotherapy treatment for you. For instance, you may not be able to use this medicine if you are taking certain medications or have a history of low albumin levels.
(Click Denileukin Diftitox for more details on this drug, including information on what your healthcare provider needs to know, potentially dangerous complications that may occur, and why this chemotherapy medicine may not be safe for certain people.)

" Collaboration of technology, human intelligence and
academic counselors for excellence in career "
" GoBudee brings to Schools a package of facilities that will act as a robust career compass for students. "
" A step by step thorough program that makes the student find her career path. "
" Increase your outreach and network across the country. "
" I enrolled for the GOBUDEE services. We took a test, had systematic interaction with the counselor, who was extremely sweet and knowledgeable. And now after the program I feel I know more about myself then I did before. I feel more confident about my stream selection. Thank you to the awesome GOBUDEE team. It was an enriching experience. Hope you guys help the clueless class 10 students out there. "
Bal Mandir Senior Secondary School, Kishanganj.
" Gobudee is a great platform and it helped me a lot when I was in class 10th. I had no idea about which stream to choose right after my 10th. The counselors of Gobudee helped me a lot, helped me to decide stream, how to study and how to make a good daily routine. Apart from Career Counseling, The Gobudee Forum is very useful, I got to know about different Careers, got in touch with wide range of expertise. Still sometimes I post my doubts on Forum and experts reply to it. The answers are really helpful. Thanks to the Gobudee Team. "
Bal Mandir Senior Secondary School, Kishanganj.
" I knew about all the options available to me as a class 10th student, what I didn't know, though, was how to select what's right for me.
By registering on GOBUDEE Platform, Counseling helped me in organizing my thoughts, but also helped me feel at ease when I was told that it is natural to be confused. GoBudee Counselors and their Career Information Platform helped me in knowing what each stream demands and what career I can make out of them, I'm really grateful and feel much more sorted and confident now. All the best to the Gobudee Team."

Glass Photography
Posted by Photographicals,in
So I read this tutorial for taking photographs of 'stuff', specifically the glass section, and decided to give it a go.
Not having any sort of proper lightbox, but wanting to keep to a single light source for the best look, I wound up wedging my trusty maglite through some junkmail and resting the contraption atop some DVD boxes, to give a downward light into the glass. Turn off lights, TV, monitors; f32 on the lens, 60 second exposure; whammo.
Reasonably pleased!

Currently at Levy I am teaching a four-part class series on God and Government. Below is the first study. I plan to post them all–to try and offer a kingdom perspective during this rather divisive and angry election cycle.
As we enter into this study it is imperative for perspective for it to be founded in and informed by the clear scriptural teaching of "seeking first the kingdom of God" (Matthew 6:33). Our primary directive under any form of government is to honor first our heavenly citizenship (Philippians 3:20). Recall after the events that erupted in Gethsemane (John 18:36), Jesus identified his kingdom as being "not of this world" but "from another place." This—not any earthly kingdom/nation/government is the kingdom we seek first—it's values, directives, boundaries, principles and purpose—the consequence of such will always lead us to be "aliens and sojourners" (1 Peter 2:11) in whatever nation we live under, whatever the form of government that exists. This understanding provided the first Christians a vastly different worldview, which then enabled them to turn their world upside down by living out and teaching these values while also living quiet and peaceful lives under the oppressive, non-representative, rights-limiting Roman rule. Ultimately they totally transformed this government without casting a single vote or creating any violent revolution.
In this study we will examine the New Testament texts that shaped their thinking and guided their actions as they lived out the kingdom first principles in their nations under their government—Romans 13:1-7; 1 Timothy 2:1-3; & 1 Peter 2:13-17.
Five Things the Bible Teaches about Governments
Before considering those specific texts, it is important to consider the broader Bible teaching about God and governments. God has always been out and about in our world—working with and through peoples, nations, and governments to accomplish his will. He has done so all throughout history and it would be a mistake to think that he does not continue to do so. This remains part of the mystery of God (Isaiah 55:8), but we should expect no less.
From a survey of biblical texts here are five things we can learn from the Bible about God and governments.
- No form of government/nation will ever reflect completely the ideal of God's justice and righteousness. We can learn a great deal about God and governments through the relationship of God and Israel—his chosen people. Israel was meant to be a light unto all the nations (Isaiah 49:6). The government God set up within the Hebrew nation was designed to reflect his justice and righteousness (Deuteronomy 16:18-20; 27:19; Proverbs 8:15; 21:3; Amos 5:24), but they failed, as has every subsequent nation and form of government. It is all a result of our broken, fallen world. In fact, corrupt forms of governments/nations not seriously attempting to uphold God's justice and righteousness have been the rule, not the exception. Israel/Judah—the very nations of God—failed to consistently produce kings and leaders who honored God. Is it then a surprise to see corrupt governments now? What are our expectations today?
- However, God can use nations/governments to demonstrate his justice—even evil governments (Jeremiah 25:8-9; Acts 4:27-28; Romans 13:4; 1 Peter 2:14). Scripture clearly teaches that God has ordained rulers/nations/governments to be his instruments of justice—even though they often do not totally reflect completely his ideal of justice. God uses what and whom he can to bring about his will in our fallen world. There is something bigger afoot than the here and now.
- Therefore, God remains in control of the nations and governments. He puts governments and powers in place—Daniel 2:20-21; Psalm 22:28; Proverbs 8:15; John 19:11; Romans 13:1.
- One day all human governments will end and Christ will reign. Isaiah prophecies: For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing it and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever (9:6-7; see also Daniel 2:44; Colossians 2:15; Revelation 19:11, 15-16). This is the bigger picture. This is the kingdom to seek first. This is God's end game—and everything he does seen and unseen among the nations/governments is all about accomplishing this for as many people as possible (2 Peter 3:9).
- Meanwhile as we wait, we are to pray for, honor and submit to those who govern us—Mark 12:17; Romans 13:1-4; 1 Timothy 2:1-2; 1 Peter 2:13-17. What this looks like and what is involved in this—first for those within the New Testament context of these verses and second for us now living in 21st century USA—will be the focus of this study.
Hopefully this study will help us gain a better kingdom perspective and instead of fretting over politics, our nation and politics—praise the God over it all!
Come let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land… Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods. For the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens…He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in truth. (from Psalm 95-96)

Azure App Service and Azure Functions are both commonly used for building organizational APIs. These might include important business logic needed by many apps and activities. Traditionally, most of these clients are written by professional developers, but Microsoft also offers solutions that enable anyone in an organization to build solutions.
PowerApps and Microsoft Flow are services that enable power users within an organization to get more done. Without writing any code, users can easily create apps and custom automated workflows that interact with a variety of enterprise data and services. While they can leverage a wide variety of built-in SaaS integrations, users often find the need to incorporate company-specific business logic.
We've now extended the API Definition feature of App Service and Azure Functions to include an "Export to PowerApps and Microsoft Flow" gesture. This walks you through all the steps needed to make any API in App Service or Azure Functions available to PowerApps and Microsoft Flow users. To learn more, see our documentation.
We're hoping to make this experience even easier over time. Please let us know what you think in the Forums (App Service, Functions) or UserVoice (App Service, Functions).

Even before his death in 2004, admirers of former President Ronald Reagan were asking that Reagan monuments be erected throughout the nation. A memorial in every one of the more than 1,000 counties in America was the goal at one time.
The campaign seems to have stalled well short of the goal, but we were reminded of it recently by a picture on the Web of a proposed Reagan addition to Mount Rushmore (ReaganRushmore.com). Reagan fans say this will eventually come to pass.
Back when the campaign was going in earnest, and there was even talk of Reagan memorials in Arkansas, the Arkansas Times speculated that Reagan's face might be put on the Christ of the Ozarks statue at Eureka Springs, since some Reaganauts seem to think him more deserving than the original honoree. What it would look like is illustrated above.
But we don't expect to see it for real, and we've been unable to locate any Reagan memorials in Arkansas. The Ronald Reagan Legacy Project doesn't list anything for Arkansas on the Web either, though it lists a total of 95 "dedications" in 26 states and nine foreign countries. The dedications include streets, schools, Mount Reagan in New Hampshire, and our favorite, the Ronald Reagan Lounge in John O'Farrell's Pub at Ballyporeen, Ireland.
Much of the honoring of Reagan, including the naming of an airport, has been done at Washington. Even there, some proposals have not come to fruition. Reagan fans want to see his face on American currency and coins — one proposal would kick Franklin Roosevelt off the dime and put Reagan on — but so far it's not happening.
