If you've looked much into bed bug control, you've probably come across diatomaceous earth as one possible solution to killing bed bugs. Many people end up using diatomaceous earth because it's much more safe and more natural than chemical sprays or other alternatives.
As an added benefit, this miracle dust kills other insects like ticks, fleas, roaches, spiders, and even more!
Let's talk a little bit about what diatomaceous earth is and how to best make use of it for pest control.
Harris Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is an all-natural Diatomaceous Earth that is effective at killing most crawling pests over time.
Why DoMyOwn?DoMyOwn.com offers professional-grade insecticides to DIYers while ensuring proper storage of chemicals. Couple that with their impressive customer service and knowledgeable staff, it's the #1 choice.
What is Diatomaceous Earth?
Diatomaceous earth is made from ancient, fossilized single-cell algae made largely of silica. These silica deposits are mined from areas like river banks and then dried. Diatomaceous earth has a wide variety of uses but to the average person, the most common use is pest control.
What makes diatomaceous earth uniquely useful for killing insects are two key properties.
- It absorbs lipids. Many insects have a waxy outer coat to their exoskeleton which helps them maintain moisture in their body. When insects come into contact with diatomaceous earth, that waxy layer gets eroded and most bugs die of dehydration over the span of days to 2 weeks.
- It's sharp and jagged. These fossilized remains are not smooth or rounded. At a microscopic level, they're full of sharp, jagged edges that make it easy to latch into insects that it comes in contact with. This helps diatomaceous earth damage the exoskeleton more as it sticks to the bug, sometimes transferring to other bugs that come in contact.
While diatomaceous earth may be fatal to insects, it's actually safe for human consumption. You can find "food grade" diatomaceous earth which means that the product has been sterilized, so no harmful bacteria is in the product. Diatomaceous earth is often used as an additive when storing grain or in livestock feed.
Diatomaceous Earth Safety
Diatomaceous earth is a naturally occurring product and has no toxicity like chemicals do, but you still want to handle it with care. While it won't cut you or hurt you, it can dry out your hands so you should use gloves when handling it.
The bigger concern though is breathing it in. You never want to inhale fine, foreign particles into your lungs. The common form of diatomaceous earth sold today is not known to be a carcinogen but you could still irritate your lungs, eyes, and nose membrane if you're having a lot of the product go airborne.
Most of the time this shouldn't be a real concern, but you should still wear proper safety gear like goggles and a mask when handling.
Applying Diatomaceous Earth to Kill Bed Bugs
Using diatomaceous earth to kill insects like bed bugs isn't difficult, but there are a few things you should know and be aware of to get the most out of it.
Methods of Application
Diatomaceous earth is a powdery substance. It's not a liquid you can squirt out of a bottle like most chemical sprays, yet we need to lightly and evenly distribute it for it to be effective.
The most common and effective way to do this is by using a powder duster. A powder duster is basically a handheld device where you load powder into a chamber, and lightly squeeze the chamber to shoot powder out of the narrow spout.
This gives you a lot of control over how much powder to disperse. You can get close to your target to keep the powder more concentrated or pull the duster back more to let the powder spread to cover a wider target more lightly. Here's a duster I recommend –
A hand-pump duster is a must-have for effectively dusting with DE. This will allow you to efficiently spread out the powder to reach cracks and crevices.

Another way of applying diatomaceous earth is with a dry, flat paintbrush. You wouldn't want to do this to cover a lot of areas, but if you're looking to get diatomaceous earth into cracks and crevices that may be hard to reach it's a great option.
A paintbrush may also be useful when you want to keep the amount of powder to a minimum. For example, if you're fighting bed bugs, you may want to apply a controlled amount of diatomaceous earth to the creases of your mattress and a duster would likely be too much.
One key thing to remember is that you want the bugs to come into contact with the diatomaceous earth. This means you want to keep it spread thin so it doesn't look like an obstacle it will move around.
If you spread out too much, you can always vacuum it up. I recommend a good vacuum with a HEPA filter to prevent irritants from being spread into the air.
Wet Application
While the dry application of DE described above is the most common and easiest way to go about it, it's also possible to apply diatomaceous earth in a wet form. To accomplish this, mix diatomaceous earth and water in a 1:4 ratio (1 cup of diatomaceous earth, 4 cups of water). Then you can spray this mixture through a spraying applicator.

I wouldn't recommend bothering with a wet application of diatomaceous earth unless you have awkward areas you're trying to get into or cover that a powder duster isn't working.
One common use case is applying DE to the underside of surfaces or vertical surfaces. A powder isn't going to stick well in that situation, but the water will stick and leave the DE behind when it evaporates.
One other drawback of wet application – diatomaceous earth is not effective at killing insects while it's wet. It needs to dry out before it will start to kill bugs.
Where to Apply the Diatomaceous Earth
The first thing to know is that bugs must come in contact with diatomaceous earth in order for it to kill them. You want the diatomaceous earth to be in areas the bugs are already using or in areas you suspect they may live, travel across, etc.
This also means that diatomaceous earth doesn't work well with repellent insect products. If you apply a bug repellent in the same place as diatomaceous earth, the diatomaceous earth isn't going to do much since most of the bugs won't come into contact with it.
Spreading the diatomaceous earth around everywhere isn't going to be very effective and a good use of your time. Try to apply it strategically. For bed bugs, this means the areas around your bed.
Try to get the power under your baseboards, around the feet of your bed, under the edges of the carpet (if possible), and even behind your electric outlets so the powder can get into wall crevices (be sure to turn off power to the outlets while you work).
You may also want to work some diatomaceous earth into cracks of your headboard, dresser drawers, bed frame, box spring, and mattress.
One thing to note is that diatomaceous earth is only effective when it remains dry. As a result, it isn't the most effective product to use outside of the house and if you did, you'd have to re-apply after rain or high humidity days.
How Long to Use Diatomaceous Earth?
The nice thing about diatomaceous earth is that it works on a physical and not chemical level. It doesn't break down and lose effectiveness over time as long as it remains dry, so one treatment should last you a very long time.
You can vacuum up any diatomaceous earth hanging around when you're done with treatment though most of it will be in cracks and crevices that a vacuum won't reach which is just fine. It won't do any harm to let the diatomaceous earth sit there and act as a killing agent for other pests that may try to invade your home.

Diatomaceous Earth for Bed Bugs FAQ's
Is diatomaceous earth safe for dogs/cats/humans?
Yes, diatomaceous earth is largely considered safe and non-toxic for all creatures in your home (except pests). "Food grade" is even safer as it has been sterilized to remove possible bacteria mixed in. You wouldn't want anyone to inhale fine powder though as it could irritate the lungs.
What insects does diatomaceous earth kill?
Diatomaceous earth kills basically all bugs including bed bugs, roaches, ants, ticks, spiders, fleas, slugs, silverfish, beetles, centipedes, etc.
What kind of diatomaceous earth is best for bed bugs?
Any diatomaceous earth you buy today is likely the same stuff just in different packaging. We recommend getting "food grade" but we are not aware of any issues that have come from a human or pet ingesting any kind of diatomaceous earth.
Is it safe to sleep in a room that had diatomaceous earth applied?
Yes. Diatomaceous earth should be applied wearing a mask since it's a fine powder, but once it has settled there's no harm from being in the same room as it. This goes for pets and children as well. DE should settle within seconds of being applied, so there's no worries about using it in bedrooms.
Do I need to reapply diatomaceous earth? How long does it work?
Since diatomaceous earth works on a physical level, it doesn't break down after weeks/months like chemical pest control agents. You shouldn't need to re-apply diatomaceous earth until what you put down got washed away or vacuumed up.
Can I vacuum up diatomaceous earth?
Yes, you can vacuum diatomaceous earth but may want to only use a vacuum with a HEPA filter or a wet/dry vac. Since DE is a fine powder, it's possible that it could get through cheaper vacuum filters and reduce the effectiveness of the vacuum motor over time. A high-quality vacuum such as Dyson vacuum cleaners should be able to handle vacuuming up diatomaceous earth without a problem.
Does diatomaceous earth still work when it's wet, or if it gets wet?
Diatomaceous earth does not work when it's wet, but it will work again when it dries assuming it wasn't washed away like in the case of rain or a heavy pour of water.
Can diatomaceous earth be used outside?
Diatomaceous earth can be used outside, however, it likely won't be that effective over long periods of time. For one, it needs to be dry to kill bugs so in humid environments or during rainy periods it won't do much. Also, rain can wash the DE away or bury it in the soil.

How much will you have to pay for college? The answer will depend heavily on your Expected Family Contribution. If you missed it, our last post explained what an EFC is and why it's important to know what yours is. Are You Too Wealthy to Qualify For Financial Aid? The good news is that you can obtain your preliminary EFC quite easily. You just have to head to the College Board's website to use its EFC Calculator. When you pull up the calculator this is what you'll see:
At the start, you must decide which EFC formula you want to use. Your choices are the federal or institutional methodology or both.
You should select both formulas since at this point you don't want to limit your school choices. The vast majority of colleges in this country only use the federal methodology. You will learn what your official federal EFC is when you submit your FAFSA or Free Application for Federal Student Aid during your child's senior year in college. About 250 schools, nearly all private, require families to complete an additional financial aid form called the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE, which uses the institutional formula. This formula drills deeper into a family's finances.
If you have the necessary documents, the EFC calculator should only take a few minutes to complete. Here are the types of questions the calculator will ask:
Once you plug in these numbers, the calculator will produce an estimated EFC for the federal and institutional methodology. These figures may or may not be similar.
To illustrate how an EFC calculator works, I am using a hypothetical 55-year-old couple with one college-bound student and a younger child. Here is their background:
Here are the EFC results for this family:
Under the federal methodology, the family would be expected to pay, at a minimum, $31,819, for one year of school. Under the institutional formula the figure is greater – $34,081. With this high EFC, a family would not qualify for need-based financial aid from state schools. Instead this teenager would be seeking merit scholarships from public universities, which are given regardless of a family's ability to pay. This same affluent teenager, however, could qualify for need-based aid at an expensive private university. Using the institutional methodology, if the cost of attendance at a private college is $60,000, then this family could qualify for up to $25,919 in need-based aid.
While income is the biggest driver of a family's EFC, the number of students in college simultaneously can also have a significant impact. I ran the EFC calculator for the hypothetical family above, but this time both of the couple's children are in college. Here are the results:
The above example illustrates that a household's EFC drops significantly when two (or more) children are in college at the same time. The federal EFC drops by roughly 50% and the institutional EFC typically shrinks by approximately 33%.
Using an EFC calculator as early as your child's middle-school years is important. The calculator can give you an idea of how much financial aid, if any, your child may qualify for. Knowing what your EFC is can help you decide what types of schools should be on a potential college list. It may also encourage you to save more.

While studying Latin and reciting catechisms are distinguishing marks of Classical Christian education, these two things are not our only distinctives. One of the others is our desire to develop an attitude of proper respect for one's elders. This is done through the way students address adults but also by having the students to stand whenever an adult enters the room. This idea is gathered from verses like Leviticus 19:32 which says, "You shall stand up before the gray head and honor the face of an old man, and you shall fear your God: I am the Lord."
In setting this idea forward, some may think that it is both antiquated and foolish, since it is a practice that is not carried out by our present day culture. However, Christians are called to be set apart from the culture, just as Israel was set apart from other nations unto the Lord. We are called to display God's holiness before a culture that has no regard for the King of Kings. Having students to stand when their elders enter a room is one small step in helping students to have a biblical worldview and teaches them that the Lord loves for people to submit to one another according to His perfect wisdom.
One might argue that there is a lack of such a practice in the New Testament since we as Christians are now to live under and according to the Law of Christ rather than all of the particular laws of the Old Testament. We would graciously respond by saying that the practice is certainly in accord with the fulfillment of the Law, because Jesus stated that whatever we wish others would do to us, we should do that to them. It is certainly my desire as a teacher that others would show respect to me, and so I not only want to see students doing so, I too desire to engage in the practice of rising when one of the other faculty members comes into my room. This serves a dual purpose of the instructor living out the instruction before the students and proving the application of the idea beyond one's years in school. Jesus clearly taught that to love the Lord your God with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself were the fulfillment of all of the Old Testament Law. And as has already been noted above, these two things not only encourage the practice of standing when an elder enters the room, they go so far as to admonish all of us to engage in it – from students to adults.
Having stated these things, it is essential to point out that we at PCA are not saying that to do otherwise is a sin. We are simply stating that our aim as a school is to teach the whole person. Because we act as assistants to parents in fulfilling their duty to bring up a child in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, we ought, as instructors, to be concerned with the student's whole being. The aim of a Classical Christian education is to shape each student after the image of Jesus Christ: helping them to excel in seeing the world through the lens of the Gospel, progressing thoroughly in academics, and growing up socially in righteousness and holiness as unto the Lord and not for men. Thus, this practice of respect for elders is set forth not as something to give us reason for boasting but rather as a means to train up young people who possess an intense passion for the holiness of God expressed in every aspect of their lives, academic or otherwise.

Chicago-based online broker OptionsHouse, part of Aperture Group, announced today that it will launch a non-clearing futures commission merchant (FCM).
The launch, subject to regulatory approval, is scheduled for the second quarter of 2016.
Futures trading is currently available at OptionsHouse, but by establishing its own FCM, the company seeks to further bolster the futures trading experience for its customers. The time and effort required to open a futures account are poised to be significantly reduced, and additional cash management and trading strategies will be available. Customers will be able to trade electronically and access licensed OptionsHouse professionals at a full-service desk, 24 hours a day, six days a week.
OptionsHouse customers will have access to the U.S. exchanges of the CME Group and Intercontinental Exchange, as well as to the VIX futures and other products listed at the CBOE Futures Exchange.
Joe Corso, OptionsHouse's SVP of Brokerage, commented,
"While others are exiting the FCM business, we decided to step up to ensure an outstanding multi-asset class trading experience for our customers and further establish ourselves as a leader in terms of value in the online brokerage industry."
Daniel Ryba, OptionsHouse VP of Futures, added,
"We recognize how important futures are to many of our traders, as they are often used in conjunction with options and stock trading strategies. For those customers that are seeking additional education and support, we will have a full-service futures desk coupled with trading webinars to supplement the platform's embedded education."
The US National Futures Association (NFA) will be the firm's designated self-regulatory organization.
(The current status of OptionsHouse, as shown on NFA's website.)

The "Listen" option is enabled for the Multiple Sclerosis knol:http://knol.google.com/k/ari-green/multiple-sclerosis/YUrtrKow/OBPjsg#An interesting thing about that knol is that you can click "Share" and see the number of page views at the bottom left of the popup.http://i34.tinypic.com/i36q7c.pngIn other knols, this same message is displayed but the view count always seems to be zero.

I windier if knol in the future will do solely video knols of seminars like TED or something... Just a though.
I didn't mean it would host TED videos, but that it would do something similar to TED.com. Also I meant wonder not windier :D

This indicates that Google's text-to-speech engine understand the semantic of sentences and paragraphs better other engines, thanks to Google enormous database and collective intelligence.
I am thinking whether Google may provide such function as a service to other web pages, particularly Wikipedia. Sometimes I just want to rest my eyes when reading the Web content.Do you think Google may do this in near future?
Don't forget that Wikipedia already started audiofying content through user-submitted audio readings. It's the usual inefficient way of Wikipedia that relies on great amounts of data.
Antonino S
It is great that google has started on that road. At www.dixerit.com we are speech-enabling hundreds of sites and can cover more than 20 languages, offering high quality audios, just as easily.For example, check red.es or ticinoonline.ch for Spanish and Italian.
Philipp Lenssen
(Just to add, Google confirmed it's "automated text-to-speech". But they don't "have any additional details or future plans to share at this time".)
Hmm, this "Google" voice doesn't sound to me like a big improvement over other TTS engines. In fact it has the same pronunciation problems. For example listen to the word neurological in the beginning of Multiple Sclerosis article and compare to Mike voice at AT&T natural voice demo page (google for it).
Sanjeev Kumar Dangi
I don't really understand why they offered this new service. What you can do with knol, the same thing you can do with blogger. And i am suspicious many people will paste the contents of their blogs as knol articles to create a lot of duplicates.
Roy Lindemann
At ReadSpeaker we paved the way to the audio web back in1999 and have over 2000 web sites using our web based speech-enabling technology. You can listen to our service by going to the International Herald Tribune for example (www.iht.com). We cover more than 20 languages ranging from UK and US English to French, German, Japanese, Spanish, etc. You can check us out at www.voice-corp.com.
Max Gonzales
Yeah, I'v seen such service on the City of San Francisco website (www.sfgov.org). I think that is readspeaker as well. Pretty awesome service!
Ahron Shmuel
For those of you who forgot, Google said that this was the point of their GOOG-411 service. This TTS engine sounds exactly like the one provided by VoiceXML, the language that goog411 (sounds like) it was written in. The only difference is that this one is reading bigger chunks of text. Google's FAQ for goog411 i believe still says that the point of the ad- free service is to train their speech recognition technology. It also provided a good testing ground for TTS, I guess.I think Google seems to have some big plans for speech, with does fit with their goal of making the world's information available to everyone, even the blind. Your suggestions seem like very strong possibilities.
Ahron, but Goog-411 was to train their speech-to-text (e.g. video search), not their text-to-speech (like Knol), Google said*... or do you think it's also useful for the latter?* http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2007-12-17-n30.html
They also had to read names (was their a details option too?) of businesses to users, and not completely make foreign names incomprehensible. Google seems to really want to do something with voice. Maybe include Grandcentral for something?
Juha-Matti Laurio
The quality is nice, I think and I believe that people outside of major English countries are more satisfied :)

Fatemeh Emdadian, Iranian contemporary sculptor is born in 1955. She is a graduate of the School of Fine Arts, Tehran and the University of Decorative Arts in Sculpture.
Fatemeh Emdadian's sculptures are grounded on the universal, existential human issues: living among others, emotional bonds, solitude, attachments, and alienation, the burden in being born and giving birth, or being thrown into the world. However, these forms have been evolved within years inspired by the artist's lived experience and maintain a highly personal feature. In her sculptural installations, the figures might be considered as parts of a whole composition, in close link to each other. Due to their large scale and fragmented composition, the sculptures make a multilateral connection with their environment: they stretch their parts, try to capture the surrounding atmosphere and vibrate the negative space between them.
Emdadian's career claims a remarkable status in the Iranian post-revolutionary art, as she was among the few modern artists who tried to revive and reclaim the medium of sculpture, in the most difficult days of forbiddance and break, entirely through their individual endeavor and relying on personal resources.
Her work has been exhibited at many solo and group exhibitions and biennials, including the first Beijing International Biennale. She has been a winner in the Second and Third Biennial of Contemporary Sculptors in Iran.

Do you turn into a couch potato during football season? Don't worry—with a bit of balance, you can stay fit and still enjoy watching your favorite sport.
Fall means football, and football season can mean hours of sitting on the couch, cheering on your favorite team. It's easy to skip exercise when you have other plans, but with each extra hour you spend sitting, you're damaging your health just a little more.
Fortunately, it is possible to have your cake and eat it, too. Rather than falling into unhealthy habits—and using the big game as an excuse to stay away from the gym another day—give this couch potato workout a try.
Most televised sporting events include plenty of commercials. Next time you sit down to watch your team play, use these breaks to get in short bursts of exercise that will get your heart rate up and cut your couch potato time down.
Start by stretching during the pregame show, then rotate through these high-intensity exercises each time a commercial break occurs:
If there's room, jump rope in 30-second intervals. March in place with high knees, then do jumping jacks.
Planks and sit-ups are good for your core. For a challenge, try adding crunches in a variety of more difficult positions—for example, bicycles, reaching an arm to one side and then the other or with your legs crossed in the air.
Tricep dips can be done using the edge of your sofa, as can incline press-ups. Move to the floor for push-ups.
Try lunges and squats on your way to the kitchen or bathroom. Move to the nearest wall for 30-second wall sits.
By the end of the game, you'll be sweating as much as your favorite player—and your body will thank you.
Eat This, Not That: Tailgate Season Edition
One of the best things about football season is the food—unless you're trying to make health-conscious choices. Every burger, hot wing, plate of chili-cheese fries and gooey, delicious dessert looks more tempting the longer you stay away, and suddenly the nutritious eating you were so proud of seems like the world's biggest chore.
Fear not, football fans. Whether it's a tailgate at your alma mater or a viewing party with friends in your living room, you have dinner and snack options that let you partake of the time-honored tradition of eating and yelling at your favorite team, but without damaging your healthy eating streak.
Give these simple swaps a try:
For the main course, serve turkey burgers in place of high-fat ground beef burgers. If you prefer wings, skip the skin or substitute grilled chicken strips with your favorite sauce.
Are you a dip person? Hummus or Greek yogurt-based dips are good replacements for traditional, high-fat cheese dips that are often bad for your heart. For an extra health boost, pair them with cut vegetables rather than chips.
Grilled fruit—particularly pineapple—is a great dessert substitute that should satisfy your sweets craving.
If you have questions about your fitness or nutritional needs, talk to your doctor. Don't have a doctor? Tennova Medical Group is here to help. Our family practice office located on Tiny Town Road welcomes new patients of all ages. Call 931-502-2423 or visit TennovaMedicalGroup.com. Ask about our same- and next-day appointments.

The US Air Force has decided against sole-sourcing a portion of its Bell UH-1N replacement requirement to Lockheed Martin-Sikorsky for the UH-60M Black Hawk, instead reverting back to an earlier plan for a "full and open competition" to replace all 62 Vietnam War-era Hueys.
Air Force Global Strike Command uses two dozen UH-1Ns to guard America's nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles at three expansive air force based in Wyoming, Montana and North Dakota.
The air force had been considering replaced those Hueys as a priority by piggybacking on a US Army multi-year contract for Black Hawks – acquiring 41 examples for an estimated $1.4 billion. The remaining Hueys would be replaced via competitive tender.
The air force initiated a Huey replacement programme last year after abandoning an earlier Common Vertical Lift Support Platform (CVLSP) acquisition in 2012. The new procurement furnishes up to 72 new helicopters via an open competition, but the commander of US Strategic Command requested that the air force speed up the process, prompting leadership to consider a quick, sole-source Black Hawk buy.
"The air force attempted to accelerate UH-1N replacement deliveries into fiscal year 2018 via the Economy Act by requesting an above threshold reprogramming (ATR), but the department decided against an ATR and opted to continue with the FY2017 president's budget plan to compete the contract," a service spokesman explains in an email to Flightglobal on 11 May. "After thorough review, the department remains committed to a competitive acquisition approach, as reflected in the FY2017 budget plan. The air force has taken multiple steps to mitigate shortfalls in mission requirements to enhance readiness and security of the nation's nuclear deterrent."
The proposal to acquire new M-models via the army attracted strong support as well as criticism from various factions in Congress. The air force already knows that the Black Hawk meets the ICBM security mission requirements in terms of speed, range, armaments and troop carrying capacity, and some lawmakers said buying new UH-60Ms would achieve better unit pricing for the military and quicken the UH-1N's inevitable retirement. Others say it unfairly sidelines other alternatives assembled in America like the Bell Helicopter UH-1Y Venom, Airbus UH-72A Lakota and Leonardo AW139.
The air force believed the Black Hawk plan would meet an immediate need while allowing for a separate competition to replace the remaining UH-1N fleet, such as those operated by the 1st Helicopter Squadron at Andrews AFB in Maryland, which shuttles government officials around Washington DC and would transport them to safety in the event of an attack. Another handful of Hueys support base logistics overseas and weapons testing at home. Recently refurbished TH-1H models are used to train pilot at Kirtland AFB in New Mexico.
The air force has tried multiple times to replace the Huey. After abandoning the CVLSP effort in 2012, the service devised another plan that would refurbish excess army A-model Back Hawks at the Corpus Christi Army Depot in Texas. Those legacy helicopters would be zero-timed and upgraded to the L-model configuration, but that plan was abandoned in favour of new airframes.
The air force expects to award a contract for a UH-1N replacement aircraft in mid-2017 and weapons integration and testing would run through 2020, according to service budget documents.

- AsiaInspection Q2 Barometer riots, strikes & 200,000 toxic products
- Hong Kong, July 10, 2014 AsiaInspection a leading global provider of quality control services for businesses importing from Asia, Africa, Southern Europe and Latin America, today announces its 2014 Q2 Barometer, a quarterly synopsis on outsourced manufacturing and the quality control services industry.
- In Vietnam, textile & apparel exports increased year-on-year between January and May, reaching $7.5 billion USD However, recent protests due to political tensions with China sent fear into supply chains Vietnam Undeterred by Rioting 18%
- AI figures show May 2014 ordered inspections to be 3.3 times higher than the previous one year average. This is due to increased concern from foreign buyers to ensure their supply chain and quality have not been disrupted.
- In the first months of the year apparel imports from Vietnam into the US saw a well ahead of rival China at 0.9%. 12.7% increase
- China Sees Largest Industrial Disputes in Living Memory Chinese government stimulus efforts appear to have worked in Q2, with manufacturing activity & output up nationwide. This was during the same period that over 40,000 workers engaged in an industrial dispute.
- Year over year, the largest growth in Asia was Cambodia then Bangladesh & Vietnam : 73% each India 63% and China 10% up 99%
- In growth by industry category, quarter over quarter across all regions, food and food container inspections were up 55%
- TOXIC CHEMICALs RAMPANT: 5% OF ALL AZO DYE LAB TESTS FAIL When the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission screened for azo dyes in imported clothing over 200,000 items were recalled. AsiaInspection found over 5% of all azo dye lab tests in 2014 failed
- Time and time again we see outsourced manufactured products putting consumers at risk. The fact that 200,000+ products made it to store shelves containing a known cancer causing carcinogen shows the need for stricter controls and testing at the source. This reflects the sheer scale at which consumers are being placed at risk. Sebastien Breteau, AsiaInspection CEO.
- The Sourcing Journal reported that while brands and retailers increasingly place huge importance on information in their value chains, specific information is often exceedingly hard to obtain. of respondents said that they do not have sufficient data from within their supply chain. 50%
- africa gains momentum Ordered inspection growth in Asia remained strong with 21% year over year growth. This was surpassed by Africa with 31% inspection growth Interestingly, growth for inspections in Africa was led by Swaziland which saw 50% growth in just the last quarter.
- At the same time, Swaziland is losing benefits from the United States under the African Growth and Opportunity Act for its failure to make progress towards internationally recognized workers rights.

- The growth is being largely driven by its apparel manufacturing, for which exports grew almost 25% in May. Apparel export growth is being driven by non-traditional markets such Latin America, Southern Africa, and East and West Asia. Latin America Southern Africa East Asia West Asia
- bAngladesh inspection groups raise tensions North American and European inspection groups The Alliance and The Accord are together inspecting 2,100 of Bangladeshs 5,600 garment factories which employ some and account for 80% of the countrys exports. 4 million workers
- AI data for 2014 shows that for factories that underwent ethical audits, 27% are at serious risk 59% are not compliant
- The groups are involved in a debate with stakeholders over the process by which they shut non-compliant factories. Its feared that the disruptions may contribute to slowing export growth, with buyers turning to sources they deem more stable, such as China, India and Vietnam.
- While the groups exist to protect workers, there are practical issues at stake the protection of jobs and provision of worker compensation during extended shutdowns for repairs which are often ordered without notice. So far 14 factories have been shut down and 5 have had their operations limited.
- Factory closures should only be undertaken if employees are at immediate risk, and such scenarios are rare. AIs experience has shown that in the course of a properly executed audit program many of the faults found can be fixed with corrective action, training and education, contributing to the long term economic value of the factory and country.

The aim of this case study, underpinned by participative action research and design science research methodologies, is to show how design and design management practices can be improved based on a new conception of design activity and lean design management. First, problems related to design and design project management are identified using a triangulation of methods, and a root-cause analysis is conducted. Second, interventions are developed, implemented, and evaluated over two iterations. The methods and practices employed in the organization under study imply it had adopted the transformation view of the conceptualization of design. It was also observed that the organization considered design strictly a technical activity. Both choices appeared to be the root causes of the problems faced by the organization. To complement the transformation view, methods and practices following the flow and value views were introduced. To counteract the strictly "technical understanding of design", "social" concepts were introduced. As a direct result of theory-driven interventions, there were significant improvements in building design processes and design management practices.

According to the latest quarterly Singapore Business Formation Statistics Report released by Janus Corporate Solutions, the total number of new business formations in Singapore in 2013 saw an 8.61% increase from the prior year. The consistent and continuing improvement in new business incorporations affirms Singapore's robust and resilient economy despite international economic and political turmoil.
The statistics reveal that 14,500 new business entities were registered in Q4 2013. While the numbers show a slight dip from the previous quarter, that seasonal dip is consistent with the observed in previous years where business formation activities tend to slow down towards the end of a calendar year. On a year-on-year basis, the quarter saw significant growth over the 13,351 formations recorded in Q4 2012. A year-on-year comparison shows that 2013 has been a consistently healthier year than 2012, with an average of 9% growths in total business formations observed in most quarters.
In keeping with previous quarters, private limited companies form the majority of business entity types with 8,359 formations, of which 83.89% were incorporated as exempt private limited companies (EPC). The number of branch offices incorporated remains stable. The number reconfirms Singapore's repute as a business-friendly financial hub that is drawing in MNCs looking to establish a regional presence.
The Singapore government has long been praised for its pro-business regulations, and it is most evidently reflected in the ease of incorporating companies with a minimum paid-up capital of only S$1. This friendly policy has attracted many foreign and local entrepreneurs, and in turn has cultivated a thriving entrepreneurial spirit. Furthermore, analysis by Janus reveals that about a quarter of new businesses incorporated between 2012 and 2013 had only foreign-based shareholders, which is one of the attractive features of the Singapore business environment where the government allows full foreign ownership of companies.
Ms Jacqueline Low, Chief Operating Officer of Janus Corporate Solutions, points out, "The proactive efforts by the Singapore government to aid and support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have greatly encouraged younger entrepreneurs to realize their business ideas, and helped existing SMEs build sustainability. The increasing number of grants and schemes aimed at boosting productivity and innovation, along with help centres to be set up in 2014, has granted small business the access to a wealth of resources. Such a reassuring business environment is one of the key factors that contribute to the country's long-standing economic resilience."

All girlfriends are bawses because they have to deal with such unmanageable men who are always in a mess. But some girlfriends are simply more awesome than the rest.
If you have struggled to describe your girlfriend to your friends for a long time and were always completely at a loss of words, it may be because you didn't know that your girlfriend was totally a bawse, which is just a fancy way of calling someone a 'boss' on the internet! (I know, we are a weird lot of individuals).
So, if you think your girlfriend is remarkable, here are 18 things that would prove that she is a bawse indeed!
You Might Also Like: 16 Unique Things That Tell Your Boyfriend Is the Real Deal
1. She Is Completely Honest
Your girlfriend would never hide anything from you. Women love to be honest especially if they know that the other person is interested in listening to them. Moreover, your girlfriend would tell you everything that is on her mind because she is not afraid of being who she is and isn't scared to hide her opinions. She would show complete honesty in everything she does and in everything she tells you.
2. She Tries to Improve You Even If It Means Hurting Your Feelings
You know you are with the right one when your girlfriend is strict with you. Your woman is hugely critical of you because she wants to see you be the best person you can be. She never fails to recognise your potential in every work you take up and makes sure that you achieve excellence in the field.
She would call you off when she would see that you are not trying hard enough and even tell you that you are not up to the mark when you are not making enough efforts to finish your work. If you think she is rude or never shies away from calling you lazy, it is because she loves you and wants to improve you.
3. She Understands Your Dreams Even If They Are Superficial
D you wish to develop a machine that creates water or turns sea water into potable water when you grow up? You want to be the wealthiest person in the world and take over Bill Gates? Well, tell her, and she would understand. Your girlfriend would support your visions and dreams, regardless of what they are and how unachievable the world may think they are.
In fact, not only will your bawse girlfriend support your dreams relentlessly, but she would also help you achieve them. She would literally make a blueprint of how you can achieve your dreams and tell you her plans about how you can start before going to bed. Safe to say that she would be involved in the achievement of your goals as much as you are. Maybe even more than you are!

4. She Is Your Biggest Critic, Confidante and Cheerleader
As mentioned before, your girlfriend is your biggest critic. Also, she would always try to improve you no matter what. She would read your manuscript irrespective of how busy she is and correct your grammar because we all know that women can always find the errors that you may have missed. So, you know whom to approach when you are stuck in a situation because your girlfriend has the best conclusive pieces of advice.
Apart from that, you can always confide in your girlfriend. Stole something as a child and never spoke a word of it to anyone in your entire life? Tell her! She would probably make fun of you for some time but would never break your trust. Moreover, she would always cheer you on whenever you are feeling low and be your biggest fan. Don't believe it? Try taking her to your game where you are playing and notice how she whistles, applauds and screams out motivational phrases for you.
5. She is Transparent with Her Feelings
One way to tell if your girlfriend is truly a bawse is by seeing how transparent she is with her feelings. A good girlfriend would always tell you what she is feeling and does not play any guessing games with you. If she is mad, she would tell you why she is mad and what would work for her. While all women love drama, your girlfriend would try to avoid the unnecessary ones that she knows would complicate your relationship and tell you things exactly as they are. So, when you ask her what is it that is bothering her, instead of saying, "nothing" in an annoyed tone, she would list out the things that have made her upset because she is mature enough to understand that she is not dating a mind reader.

6. She Knows Exactly What She Needs
You know your girlfriend is perfect when she tells you exactly what she needs from you and this relationship. Besides, she also tells you what she wants to eat. I know! The biggest problem men have with women is that they are extremely indecisive about what they want. This is such a universal problem that everyone from Ashish Chanchlani to iiSuperwomanii has made a video about the same. And as funny as all those videos are, women know how truly annoying this aspect of their behaviour is.
Your bawse girlfriend would not only tell you what she wants to eat, but she would also tell you where she wants to eat and literally take you there.
7. She Is an Animal Lover
A person's character is reflected in the way they treat their subordinates and well, animals. Regardless of who she loves – cats, dogs, fish, birds, panda or even a lion, she is of an excellent character. She is kind and extremely considerate of other people's emotions. If your girlfriend is an animal lover, she would be not only humble but also truly respectful towards other people.
I know, I know. How can all this be derived from just knowing whether or not someone is an animal lover? Well, if someone can be kind toward beings that cannot speak, imagine how kind they would be to the ones who can not only talk but also comment and rationalise.

8. She Is Capable of Challenging You Intellectually
She is always up for a game of crossword and not only does she play it but she also wins at it like a bawse. Your crossword score is probably 3:15 in her favour.
Besides, she has read more books than you have and knows that it is better than the movie. She is also capable of analysing every single character in the book or movie. In fact, she makes you fall in love with her every time she says something that blows your mind.
No, I am not describing a superwoman who does it all. All women are capable of doing it if they wish to. And if your girl is already doing everything, you have met a keeper.
9. She Has Her Own Life
Your girl does not stop you from having fun on your own and never feels threatened when you are hanging out with your friends without her. She has her schedule set that she is very proud of and enjoys truly. In fact, she is so happy with what she does that she does not feel the need to call you every time you go out just to make sure that you are thinking of her and talking to your friends about her. She does not bag on your plans when you make one and does everything independently. Also, she would not make you feel guilty when you go out because she knows that she has the same perks as you do.

10. She Is Mature and Yet Has a Childlike Wonder
Your girlfriend is a bawse if she is mature enough to have a conversation with your intelligent friends as well as understand those feelings that you as, a grown up, are having. Not only would she comprehend your most complex emotions but she would also have the innocence of a child.
She has the same sparkle in her eyes that children have, which makes them so curious and inquisitive. This is always a great quality to have because it encourages her to remain grounded even if she is overachieving.
11. She Gives You Thoughtful Gifts
You may think that a pair of socks is not thoughtful enough, but there is probably a reason why she spent her money on them. She may have seen that you wear weird or torn socks because well, men tend to do that, and wants you to be presentable with a new pair of socks. Her gifts may include everything from a pair of shoes to a grooming kit and even a mattress. If she thinks you need it, she will buy it for you without you even asking for it. And you would not even realise that you need it unless you get it from her and she explains to you why you need it. To conclude, she is hawkeyed!
12. She is Spontaneous and Always Up for an Adventure
Your woman is not a spoilsport. And she would say yes to an adventure unless she is severely frightened of what you are about to do. Do you want to go to a bowling alley for the first time? She is up for it. Do you want to try paragliding? Well, she would probably be scared, but she would want to try it even if her nerves are killing her with a ton of anxiety. All this because she knows that you want to do it and she respects that.

13. She Knows What Feminism Truly Is
Your girl knows that feminism isn't a concept that was introduced by the internet. She knows that it has been around since the 16th century and that it does not mean that she has the license to be a jerk and treat men disrespectfully.
Moreover, she knows that feminism does not mean holding doors open and pulling out the chairs. She knows that is chivalry and it is something that should not only be done by men but also by women. And above all, she is happy to split the bill because she knows that your money does not grow on trees just like hers does not.
14. Her Pop Culture Reference Jokes Are on Point All. The. Time.
We all know what relationships today are like. They are about tagging each other in the best memes and sending the perfect gifs as responses to specific messages. Your bawse girlfriend is well-versed with the internet and knows what is trending. She knows the most popular shows and you know she binge-watches the best of them at night after coming home. Also, she knows that you are a huge fan of pop culture and that is what motivates her to write all those brilliant jokes on text messages. She knows how you like it. Well, at least "that's what she said!"
15. She Doesn't Post It on Instagram, She Says It to You
You have just fought with her, and you are both disturbed? Imagine that you think going on Instagram would take your mind off of things and make you a little calmer but there it is. She has posted a story on Instagram about how she is feeling having fought with you and how disturbed she is. That would completely annoy you and knowing that she is parading around what is going on in your relationship internally, may even make things worse between you. Wouldn't it be great if she told you everything directly?
Your girlfriend is a bawse when she tells you everything from how she loves you to how annoying you are, directly to your face without feeling the need to post it on social media.

16. You Can Talk to Her About Your Poop and Other Gross Stuff
She does not laugh when you fart. She knows that pooping is completely natural and that everyone does it. So you would not find her making a big deal about it when you tell her that you cannot control your bowel movement. She would lecture you about your eating habits, and perhaps even laugh at your misery. But she would make you feel comfortable about talking about it.
17. You Can Learn Many New Things from Her
Your bawse girlfriend will teach you everything from opening a new account in a bank to how to throw sass at your most annoying colleague. Tired of a girl hitting on your constantly (rare occasion, by the way!) but do not know how to tell her? Allow your girlfriend to teach you how you can drive her away without being rude. And the best part about it is that she would not feel jealous if you tell her about this other girl.
18. She Improves Your Standard of Living
If you haven't noticed yet, you were living in a pit that was hit by a hurricane once. And now you are living in the same one bedroom apartment luxuriously without spending much. How did that happen? Your girlfriend is not a magician. She just knows the best management tips that not even the biggest management gurus know. Also, she turned a pig into a Friesian horse by changing your brand preferences and what you buy in months.

A Bucket of Blood/Review
From The Grindhouse Cinema Database
< A Bucket of Blood
Inside "The Yellow Door", a Beatnik club which hosts poetry and art, lies a lonely busboy named Walter Paisley (Dick Miller). Walt's desperate to become one of the club members as an aspiring artist. Instead, he's just constanly being ridiculed by club-owner, Leonard deSantis (Anthony Carbone) to only serve coffee and clean up the trash. It doesn't help that he's also considered to be the laughing stock by a majority of the rest of the club's crowd. But Walter will show them. He'll show them all what a "Genius" he will soon be! Back at home, he wastes no time in trying to get his first clay sculpter off the ground. But he's interrupted by his land-lady's cat who's stuck inside one of the bedroom walls. Walter tries to free the cat by opening a hole in the wall with a knife, and...Oops! He just accidentally stabbed and killed the poor kitty! But Walter is reminded of the great words he recited from The Yellow Door's most popular poet, Maxwell Brock (Julian Burton), the words give Walter the inspiration to make a certain kind of art that no one has never seen. And it all starts with a dead cat covered in plaster. Walter's "artwork" soon creates a buzz within the public and there are demands for more exhibits. But in an unusual plot-point, Leonard becomes aware that there's actually an animal underneath the plaster and looks to expose Walter as a fraud. But the success of Walter's work begins to generate high-priced offers from art collectors. Leonard can't say no to a little wealth, but he also can't stomach the idea of Walter taking the extra step in creating "human" sculptures. Sure enough, in a subplot involving an undercover cop, Walter creates a sensation with his new masterpiece called "The Murdered Man". Now branded as a "Genius", how far will Walter possibly go now?
This smart, dark comedy from Roger Corman marked a high-point in Corman's career. Not that it was a huge blockbuster to that degree, but it has had lasting, influential success. One could say that this could have been used as a blueprint for the slashers to come. If that's true, then I couldn't have asked for a better granddaddy other than Dick Miller to become exploitation-cinema's first memorable serial killer. Miller nails the troubled loner to an absolute tee. Demonstrating great sympathy from the crowd in the early going as well showing great range while he's at his most greedy when his "Rags to riches" tale has peaked. Many of today's generation know Miller from his long career of bit parts and cameos for over 30 years, so to see him finally given the chance to carry a film by himself was a surprisingly, rewarding experience. He couldn't have asked for a more special role. As for Corman's directing, you never feel that you're a victim of his "No-time-to-lose" method of filming. I felt that every moment of the movie couldn't have been written,shot or acted better than what survives on the screen. Can you tell that I love this film? I'm not kidding when I say it's my favorite work by the Corm-meister. It's a fine, fun piece of work that still holds up incredibly well.

Does Local Sporting Success Affect Sport Participation? An Examination of Danish Professional Soccer's Effect on Club Membership

The body of literature examining potential trickle-down effects from elite sport success to mass sport participation has grown considerably over the years. The evidence is mixed but generally suggests that when a nation's athletes win medals at international tournaments – for example the Olympic Games or the FIFA World Cup – it cannot be expected to inspire amateurs to take up sport themselves. So far, existing research has primarily focused on international elite success. Effects from local elite clubs playing in national leagues have only been examined once. Since recent research indicates that national and cultural contexts can influence whether a potential trickle-down effect materialises, this paper aims to test these factors in another setting. By deploying panel data regression models on data from Danish top-tier professional soccer, we test whether local club performance affects local membership levels in Denmark. We do not find direct positive effects from sporting success. However, we do identify negative effects on membership figures due to club relegation indicating that sporting failure can affect mass participation. A key recommendation drawn from this study is that politicians, sport managers and civil servants should be careful using the double pyramid/'virtuous circle of sport' metaphor as the basis of their decision-making because it is an imprecise theoretical interpretation of reality. Instead, stakeholders should focus effort and resources on other relevant factors that potentially can lead to higher – or even lower – levels of participation in order to stimulate such factors (or prevent those that affects negatively). Future studies should examine these implications further.

The best gas hot water heaters are ultra-efficient, high performing, and environment-friendly systems, offering a great choice for homeowners looking to buy a brand new or upgrade an existing water heater.
Even if you already have an electric unit, you might want to switch to gas, because of all the benefits and savings natural gas and propane-powered water heating devices bring.
Let's see what these benefits are, how gas hot water heaters compare to electric, top-selling brands, prices, and where to shop for the best deal.
This review and corresponding links are about gas water heating in residential homes, powered by propane and natural gas, and are providing tips for buying either storage tank-type or tankless models. The articles also include reviews of the most popular manufacturers and models, installation and maintenance tips, the most common problems, and how to troubleshoot them.
In this article:
Gas hot water heaters are designed to use both natural gas and liquid propane - LP. Most of the built and sold water heaters are factory set to use natural gas as it is widely used and cheaper than propane.
To run a propane water heater, you need a liquid propane (LP) storage tank and regular fuel delivery. The performance is similar to natural gas units.
When comparing natural gas vs. propane, it is worth mentioning that the Uniform Energy Factor (UEF) is almost the same for most brands of gas heaters, both heating water fast.
Propane gas has two times more energy than natural gas (2,516 BTU vs. 1,030 BTU), but it is more expensive and requires frequent delivery from your propane dealer. A well established natural gas network provides a continuous gas supply from your utility company.
Both gas types are eco-friendly and are considered as "green fuels", emitting lower levels of "greenhouse" gases. When comparing them side by side, propane gas does not harm the environment, while natural gas does to some extent. When released into the atmosphere, it is considered a greenhouse gas.
The gas conversion of gas water heaters should be performed by the licensed technician only. Such water heaters are properly labeled and will come with the conversion kit.
There are two types of water heaters you can choose from; storage tank-type and tankless, which can be further divided into models with or without condensing technology.
Tank-type water heaters are designed with water storage tanks that have a capacity from as little as a few gallons to over 100 gallons, all used in residential homes.
Hot water is always ready and available. The tank-type advantage over the tankless type is the lower cost and simpler design, so they are less prone to failures.
The most advanced models utilize condensing technology, such as this Vertex model from AO Smith.
Tankless water heaters do not store hot water but heat water as needed or on-demand, while incoming water is passing through the heat exchanger. Hot water is not sitting at the bottom of the unit because there is no storage tank, so it is always delivered fresh and clean. The greatest advantages of tankless over the tank-type are their small and compact design, advanced technology, longer life, energy savings, and flexible installation.
Savings are even higher if you chose to go with the condensing, which also gets lower energy consumption and better environmental protection.
Good examples are listed below, and they are found as the best-selling models.
This is an important factor because a properly sized water heater will provide enough hot water for your home, resulting in increased comfort, efficiency, and savings. There will be a sufficient amount of hot water for busy families and during peak times.
Storage tank-type gas hot water heaters are usually installed in a designated room (utility room, basement, or garage), standing on the floor. In contrast, tankless, because of its small size and flexible venting options, can be mounted almost anywhere (including bathrooms and kitchens), but mainly on the wall.
The most popular models are those with a tank capacity of 40, 50, and 60 gallons, as they can produce enough hot water for families of four and homes with up to 2 baths, yet still being affordable.
For the same family size, tankless water heaters with a flow rate of 8 gallons per minute, or more, will do the same work.
As per this article, we need approximately 20 gallons of hot water for a decent shower and 30 gallons to wash the clothes.
Also, when it comes to sizing a tankless, we will need around 2-3 gallons per minute for a shower and 2 gallons per minute for the washing machine.
If you need professional help, contact your local plumber here.
Other important factors to consider when looking to buy one of the gas hot water heaters are the options you have for efficient and cost-effective venting.
When the gas water heater is running, it requires fresh air for combustion and ignition, and it can be used either from indoors or outdoor atmosphere. It is also vital to safely remove products of combustion/flue gases outside, using the house chimney or provided vents.
There are several types of venting systems one should consider:
If looking to buy the best tank-type gas heater, check out AO Smith GDHE-50-NG Vertex 100 or Polaris water heater, both with an ultra-high energy efficiency of 96%, making them the most energy-efficient models on the market. The first-hour rate on both units is very high, delivering hot water fast and when needed.
If looking for the best tankless, the recommendation is to buy one of the condensing units, such as Takagi, Rinnai, or Noritz, as they are known for ultra-efficient water heating, fast hot water delivery when needed, and in endless supply.
Money-saving tip: If gas hot water heaters are expensive to buy, renting one is always an option. Renting a water heater is convenient and gives you peace of mind, so if anything goes wrong with the unit, most parts and services are covered.
If planning to switch from an existing heating system to a new one, using natural gas or propane, consider next:
A tank-type water heater is designed to store hot water. It delivers hot water to the fixture once the hot water tap is open.
Hot water from the top of the tank starts running through the hot water outlet to the faucet or a shower. At the same time, cold water enters from the bottom through the dip tube.
As the thermostat senses the lower temperature of the cold water, it turns on gas at the gas valve and the burner that is mounted at the base of the tank.
As a safety element, a thermocouple sends the signal to the gas valve to open, starting the ignition. Once the flame on the main burner is established, water is heated, while the products of combustion from the combustion chamber are removed through the flue vents out.
Buying a gas water heater is not easy and should not be done quickly - without considering all the factors.
Water heating accounts for close to 20% of your annual energy bill, so choose wisely.
Until now, tank-type heaters were considered as standard and preferred types for water heating by many homeowners. Today, homeowners have more options such as tank-type, tankless, hybrids, boilers, condensing, and non-condensing.
You can get a gas model for a little over $500, but you will get a base model that is low efficient and not much environmentally friendly.
If you want to cut your energy costs, get a gas condensing model with an energy factor of at least 0.9, which has decent protection, including the powered anode, self-cleaning system, and power venting.
And if you have natural gas delivered to your house, it will provide you the most cost-effective solution for your home.
