A pure substance does not have to be of a single chemical element or compound, however. A mixture of various chemical elements or compounds also qualifies as a pure substance as long as the mixture is homogeneous.
Air, for example, is a mixture of several gases, but it is often considered to be a pure substance because it has a uniform chemical composition (Fig. 3–1). However, a mixture of oil and water is not a pure substance. Since oil is not soluble in water, it will collect on top of the water, forming two chemically dissimilar regions. | 2019-04-19T00:30:06Z | null | 132.4 | 546 | null | 0.868132 | [

"Let's pop over there to see how mixed the media is"
Leaving Piccadilly station Mr Monkey noticed that he could look down Whitworth Street from the bus turning circle at the top of Station Approach, so he did. He scampered through Manchester and soon arrived at the Craft and Design Centre, where the Raw exhibits were nestling in the display cases.

It finally happened. International superstar and Caesars Palace headliner Celine Dion ventured out to the big white tent in front of her Las Vegas Strip home base to witness “Absinthe” last week, including a trip backstage after the raucous show for a photo op. “I’ve been wearing this T-shirt underneath my suit for over 4,000 shows waiting for this moment,” Instagrammed The Gazillionaire with his Celine selfie.
On Saturday night, Tao Nightclub at the Venetian was the place to see some star athletes partying on the Vegas Strip. The New York Yankees’ CC Sabathia, the St. Louis Cardinals’ Dexter Fowler, the Los Angeles Angels’ Chris Young and five-time NBA champion Ron Harper, who won his rings with the Bulls and the Lakers, were all in the house while DJ Politik provided a party-ready soundtrack.
Flavor Flav with Sandy "Pepa" Denton.
Public Enemy rapper, reality TV sensation and Vegas regular Flavor Flav dropped into the Paris Theater Sunday night to catch “Salt-N-Pepa’s I Love the ’90s: The Vegas Show” and was pretty easy to spot in the front row, at least for hip-hop duo Kid ‘n Play, who gave Flav a shout-out from the stage. After the show, he visited with friends Salt-N-Pepa and Mark McGrath backstage. The new musical residency at Paris presented its final performance of 2018 Monday night and will resume January 17.
Speaking of popular musical residencies on the Strip: Two such shows have just announced new dates in 2019. Gwen Stefani, who launched her “Just A Girl” production at Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood this year, extended her run into the fall of 2019 with 21 new shows in July, October and November. She’s back on the Vegas stage December 27-31. And country favorites Reba McEntire, Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn, who have been collaborating at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace since June of 2015, recently added six shows to next year’s concert calendar in June and July. “Reba, Brooks & Dunn: Together in Vegas” returns to the Colosseum this week for shows on December 5, 7, 8, 12, 14 and 15. | 2019-04-22T10:36:57Z | null | 597.3 | 2,030 | null | 0 | []

Whether you are trying to change the behavior of a preschooler or of an employee, there are some constants that work. Apply these three techniques to achieve the desired improvement.
Focus on one. Just as with a young child you would not confuse him with too many behaviors to change at once, choose the most important change and focus. Do you need your employee to pay more attention to detail? Then call that behavior out and review their work for this specific, targeted and measurable change.
Use peer pressure. If an employee often rudely cuts others off mid-sentence and squelches productive discussion, ask other team members to point out the times this happens and to model respectful listening and patience while others speak. Then be sure they appreciate when the employee displays the desired behavior.
Tell the story. Rather than just name the behavior you want to change, describe what it would look like and what might happen as a consequence of not changing. Telling the story of the undesirable and painting a picture of the desirable is much more likely to galvanize your employee’s imagination and effort. | 2019-04-24T06:11:39Z | null | 395.3 | 1,123 | null | 0 | []

The year was 1912 – It was over a century ago that the first Alameda County Fair was held. Motorcycles and Chariots raced in these grounds. Adults also competed for prizes in events such as creating the best gopher trap or parasol, manure spreader, and even hand churned butter. There was a penmanship contest for children to compete in where the prize was a $1.50 cash reward. Clydesdale horses(not the Budweiser Horses) were on display just like now, true work horses. Mules were popular back then too and had their own division of shows.
The Alameda County Fair has grown over the century into the largest Fair in the San Francisco Bay Area. Located way out in Pleasanton, CA one would not even think it is part of Alameda County(or even the Bay Area). But on the very edge of Alameda County they host the fair annually at the Alameda County Fairgrounds. During the week the evening winds are filled with the aroma of delicious treats such as fluffy funnel cakes, golden fried corn dogs, bacon covered in chocolate and more.
Over the decades the fair has changed. In 1912 they had more farm animals on display and less rides. But as entertainment has evolved they now have roller coaster and other fun rides for children and adults alike.
The Alameda County Fair actually owes its start and origins to horse racing and horse racing remains a big draw to the Alameda Fair. In 1859, a man by the name of Augustin Bernal(Bernal Ave.) built a racetrack in Pleasanton on part of his land from his family’s Mexican Land Grant. These races are the start of the Alameda County Fairgrounds. The one mile track is said to be the longest continuously operating race track in America.
In 1911 the track was sold to Rodney MacKenzie, son of a railroad tycoon. He joined other community leaders in 1912 to create a fair association. Initially they had to sell one hundred dollar certificates raising $10,000 to make improvements and start the construction of other buildings.
Famous newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst’s mother Phoebe Hearst had a lot invested in the fairgrounds and would use it the following year. She let the fairgrounds borrow workers from her Pleasanton estate to help setup the fairgrounds for the very first year. By agreement or by chance Hearst’s ranch clean swept as the 1913 fair’s sweepstakes winner in best and most varied exhibits of farm produce.
Just like the old days when you go to the fair you will find a lot of farm animals, fresh produce and other old school attractions. Mixed with the modern rides, masses of junk food, live music, fireworks and more!
Somehow a hypnotist is still active and gets people to cluck like chickens up on stage in front of a crowd.
1859 – Augustin Bernal built a racetrack in Amador Valley, current fairground site in Pleasanton, CA.
1859 – 1866 The floral and vegetable fair was held in downtown Oakland from 1859 until 1866.
1866 – 1868 Fair is held in Hayward, CA.
1911 – Rodney MacKenzie, born into money, buys the racetrack from Bernal and invests around $250,000 to add a grandstand.
1912 – Rodney MacKenzie and other businesses start raising $10,000 to invest in the fairgrounds.
1914 – Fair ends after only a few years due to financial. Stays shut down till 1939.
1933 – California Legislature legalizes pari-mutuel betting in order to raise money for fairs.
1939 – Alameda County Agricultural Association (ACAA) is formed and holds the first modern fair to promote and encourage farming agriculture, animal stock raising, agricultural manufacturing and to promote Alameda County as a prosperous place to live. 4 Carnival rides total.
The fairgrounds are located in Pleasanton, CA and easy to access. Here is a detailed map. The county fair schedule, events, concert lineups and dates are all provided by the Alameda County Fair Association. Details may change. | 2019-04-25T04:32:02Z | null | 789.4 | 4,641 | null | 0 | []

After finishing the last pages of Drew Wagar's amazing Elite saga; Reclamation and Premonition, I got so incredibly inspired by the whole story about Salome's dramatic journey to the Formidine Rift that I had to fly out there myself to find Zurara; The long lost ship. This was going to be a long and challenging trip since my second goal of the journey would be to visit the absolute southernmost reachable system in our galaxy. Reaching systems this close to the rim of the galaxy would require some detailed routeplanning, high jumprange and a lot of jumponium stored.
Prepared for a new exploration journey. This time I will visit the mysterious Formidine Rift. Departing from Jameson Memorial early in the morning, excited of what was lying ahead. I went into a few nice neutron systems capturing some shots.
After traveling 8000LYs the first three days I reached the outpost of the Rift, entering "Salome's World" in Eafots RX-T d3-3. After reading Drew's books this is certainly a special place as the system thought to have been first discovered by CMDR Salomé (aka Lady Khahina) sometime in 3302 while she was (presumably) out in the rift looking for clues into the Exodus conspiracy (ref EDSM).
I had marked some waypoints to visit some of the Formidine Rift abandoned settlements and was spending the night at the first Alpha site in the Eafots EU-R c4-1 C2.
On day four I decided to explore the area around tha Alpha site to collect some useful materials before going to the Beta site.
Just over 12000LYs from home I found "The Zurara" today, which is my main destination for this trip.
After spending the night to explore the Zurara it was time to move on. I still had a long way to go as my next destination was "Livingstone Point"; the southernmost reachable system in the galaxy. Discovering some nice AMW's and ELW's systems on the way.
Been out here for exactly two weeks now and today I reached "Livingstone Point", 16097LYs from home. This is the most distant system ever reached, and reachable, southward along the meridian line. Located only 101 LY from the zero line and only reachable with modded ships and a heavy use of jumponium.
Spent a few days out here "on the edge" just celebrating the fact that from my last trip to Beagle Point I have now traveled the whole distance from the northernmost reachable system (Semotus Beacon) to the southernmost end of the galaxy, approx 80kylies away from each other.
It's been a few days now since I left Livingstone Point and are now on my way back home. Landed on a tiny little planet in Crab Sector AF-A d6 (1 C A) finding some fungal life. This must be the smallest planet I have ever visited with a radius of only 395km.
Returning to civilization! Docking at the "Station X" asteroid base 7000LYs from home to grab a cold one while refueling.
Easy come, easy go. Better move on.
Passed some really nice nebulas on the way, including the "Sunny side down" POI (EDSM) in Cyoidai GH-U e3-3.
Found a black hole with a planetary nebula that made some nice optical effects.
This lady really deserves a new paintjob when she comes home!!
Just 2600LYs from home and taking it easy the last stretch. Landed on a nice planet to do some "offroading" in the SRV.
After an absolutely fantastic roundtrip travelling over 40000LY's, I was back home in the bubble safely docked at Jameson Memorial. | 2019-04-25T22:10:32Z | null | 828.7 | 3,354 | null | 0.042338 | [

The world's second-largest economy has been deploying disruptive technology that could strengthen its territorial ambitions in the South China Sea.
Late last month, Beijing dropped a dozen underwater drones, also known as unmanned underwater vehicles, in an unspecified location in the international waterway to carry out "scientific observations," state-run media outlet Xinhua reported.
A U.S. Navy MH-60R Sea Hawk helicopter from the "Blue Hawks" of Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 78 fires chaff flares during a training exercise near the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) in the Philippine Sea April 24, 2017.
The torpedo-shaped vehicles — called Haiyi, or sea wings in Mandarin — will remain underwater for a month, according to reports. In March, one device hit a depth of 6,329 meters, breaking an earlier record held by a U.S. vessel, Xinhua said.
China claims a massive section of the South China Sea that extends roughly 1,000 miles from its southern shores. The huge area is home to significant energy deposits and the world's busiest shipping routes, but Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan also assert sovereign rights over parts of the international waterway.
The use of autonomous drones raises a number of questions as to whether Beijing is deploying the technology to support its aggressive expansion in the geopolitical hotspot.
Is China really using the drones for science?
Scientific purposes may be the official line from Chinese President Xi Jinping's administration, but political intentions can't be ignored. According to one theory, underwater drones are being utilized as a symbol of supremacy.
"It is a clear attempt to signal a capability associated with leading powers in terms of technology, which often translates to prestige," said Margaret Kosal, an associate professor at Georgia Tech who specializes in the role of emerging technologies for security.
Underwater drones are a demonstration of maritime strength and one of the many ways China is attempting to challenge the Western-dominated world order, she continued.
The U.S. Navy employs around 130 of those gadgets to collect oceanographic data. Last year, the Chinese navy seized one that was active in the South China Sea, sparking alarm.
Can the drones serve Beijing's goals in the South China Sea?
Aside from being a political symbol, underwater drones can also help the mainland enforce claims in the South China Sea.
Data collected from the tools is applicable to both civilian marine scientific knowledge as well as military operations, said Collin Koh Swee Lean, a research fellow specialized in maritime security at Singapore-based Nanyang Technological University. "Information about underwater terrain, salinity and thermal layers are extremely useful for planning and executing submarine and anti-submarine operations."
The vehicles also serve as an additional tool for reconnaissance operations, which means personnel don't need to get too close to foreign assets or coasts, Koh continued.
While some sea drones can transmit near-real time info and be deployed for mapping, water as a medium slows signals, Kosal cautioned.
Mainland scientists, however, deny any political intentions.
July's operation was strictly focused on collecting scientific data and was completely unrelated to China's sovereignty claims, Liu Xiaobo, associate research fellow at the National Institute for South China Sea Studies, a research organization based in Beijing and Hainan, told CNBC.
Information on ocean conditions will help Beijing perform "international obligations, including navigation security, maritime humanitarian assistance and marine disaster prediction," he continued.
Can the drones do anything except collect data?
Should outright confrontation ever break out in the international waterway, Beijing may be able to use underwater drones, or UUVs, to their advantage.
"The ability of UUVs to detect and hunt submarines, thereby rendering oceans transparent, potentially changes the way of warfare," Sylvia Mishra, junior fellow at New Delhi-based think tank Observer Research Foundation, said in a note earlier this month. "It is precisely why Beijing has been investing in a burgeoning underwater drones industry, which enjoys considerable national-level funding and support."
UUVs may be presently used for scientific research, but they could be upgraded for underwater combat, patrol, mine-sweeping and submarine detection operations, Mishra continued. "It is likely that the People's Liberation Army will utilize UUVs for military purposes."
So, what do the drones mean for South China Sea tensions?
Other countries that lay claim to parts of the strategic region are closely monitoring Beijing's actions, but the use of drones isn't expected to be a flash point.
"UUVs themselves are not akin to stationing a garrison of troops ... at best, they serve as tools that further China's ambitions to dominate the South China Sea maritime realm," said Koh.
Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan and other claimants haven't yet officially voiced any objections.
July's operation could be testing responses from territorial neighbors and the U.S., but "if the People's Republic of China wanted to be overt or confrontational, using unmanned sea vehicles really aren't the way to go," said Kosal. | 2019-04-23T08:41:52Z | null | 344.8 | 5,317 | null | 0.062065 | [

Training agreements are those documents which are made and signed between two parties who are involved on either side of a training programme. The first party is the TRAINER and the second party is known as the TRAINEE. This document is made when the trainee agrees to get training under the trainer for a certain period of time.
Training agreements may or may not consist of the financial details or the monetary details since it is not always necessary that a training programme involves exchange or transfer or money. But these documents need to be formal in nature and tone and must be written by following a proper format.
The details of the trainee and also the general information about the trainer must be clearly stated in the first paragraph of the agreement.
The details of what the training programme will consist of and the time duration of it with the effective date of beginning must be given in the second section of the agreement.
There are many terms and conditions which spell out all the other necessary details which should be mentioned point wise in the last section of the document.
The signatures of the parties should be done at the end. | 2019-04-22T12:25:24Z | null | 213.6 | 1,162 | null | 0 | []

Blue Haven Spas are committed to continuing the legacy of the spa, making them an essential part of the home.
The term spa comes from the Latin phrase “salus per aquam”, meaning “healing through water”. Accessed for their healing powers, many people would take to the mineral waters to rejuvenate their bodies.
Contemporary spas get their roots from social spas in ancient Rome. Ranging from large social spas to elite private spas, they’ve been used for centuries. Famed for their ability to heal and relax, their popularity hasn’t wavered coming into the 21st Century. Spas are still used today for their social and personal benefits.
There are countless benefits of owning your own spa. Relaxation is a major benefit, with the added bonus of having this source of calm right at your fingertips, it’s now so easy to find peace in your own home. Blue Haven Spas are a great source of hydrotherapy, as they massage and rejuvenate tired muscle and bone.
Entertainment is another appealing feature of owning your own spa. Family and friends are brought together around the warm comfort of a spa. Also, what’s better than owning your own spa, there’s no need to rely on neighbours or friends to have a relaxing dip.
Heat is great for your body, especially the heat created from a Blue Haven Spa. Your body will absorb the warmth created by the spa allowing for better blood flow and greater muscle relaxation.
Our premium water management system stops the creation of any nasty bacteria in the water. Blue Haven Spas are designed to keep the cleanliness and safety of your spa extremely high.
Blue Haven Spas offer unique hydrotherapy treatment. Focused streams massage your body with an intensity dependant on your preferences, they’re the perfect solution to sore muscles.

plan variables (what would be of type fftw_plan in C), must be declared as a type that is at least as big as a pointer (address) on your machine. We recommend using integer*8 everywhere, since this should always be big enough.
The Fortran routines expect multi-dimensional arrays to be in column-major order, which is the ordinary format of Fortran arrays (see Multi-dimensional Array Format). They do this transparently and costlessly simply by reversing the order of the dimensions passed to FFTW, but this has one important consequence for multi-dimensional real-complex transforms, discussed below.
Wisdom import and export is somewhat more tricky because one cannot easily pass files or strings between C and Fortran; see Wisdom of Fortran?.
Legacy Fortran cannot use the fftw_malloc dynamic-allocation routine. If you want to exploit the SIMD FFTW (see SIMD alignment and fftw_malloc), you’ll need to figure out some other way to ensure that your arrays are at least 16-byte aligned.
Since Fortran 77 does not have data structures, the fftw_iodim structure from the guru interface (see Guru vector and transform sizes) must be split into separate arguments. In particular, any fftw_iodim array arguments in the C guru interface become three integer array arguments (n, is, and os) in the Fortran guru interface, all of whose lengths should be equal to the corresponding rank argument.
The guru planner interface in Fortran does not do any automatic translation between column-major and row-major; you are responsible for setting the strides etcetera to correspond to your Fortran arrays. However, as a slight bug that we are preserving for backwards compatibility, the ‘plan_guru_r2r’ in Fortran does reverse the order of its kind array parameter, so the kind array of that routine should be in the reverse of the order of the iodim arrays (see above).
In general, you should take care to use Fortran data types that correspond to (i.e. are the same size as) the C types used by FFTW. In practice, this correspondence is usually straightforward (i.e. integer corresponds to int, real corresponds to float, etcetera). The native Fortran double/single-precision complex type should be compatible with fftw_complex/fftwf_complex. Such simple correspondences are assumed in the examples below.
Technically, Fortran 77 identifiers are not allowed to have more than 6 characters, nor may they contain underscores. Any compiler that enforces this limitation doesn’t deserve to link to FFTW.
The reason for this is that some Fortran implementations seem to have trouble with C function return values, and vice versa. | 2019-04-21T04:23:19Z | null | 539 | 2,614 | null | 0.221117 | [

In 2013 and 2014 I had reduced my work as an international conductor as I wanted to write a large work. This first symphony “Prayer Flags” I completed in July 2014 and was premiered on 11th December 2014 in Vienna. This is a work for large orchestra, a 4-8 part mixed choir, a 3 part female choir and five soloists. The total duration is about 70 minutes.
The work has four movements, combining languages and philosophy of the Indian Middle Ages, Indian rhythms and melody sequences with Western symphonic music. The texts are of three poets from mediaeval India — Kabir, Amir Khusro and Meerabai as well as a a famous text from the Upanishads. Mysticism in Indian poetry reached its peak with the Bhakti cult of Sufism between 1200 and 1500 AD and advocates a complete surrender to god. The musical content is freely tonal and the soloists are required to sing with both western and oriental vocal techniques. The melodic patterns are pentatonic or irregular hexatonic scales in most cases. In order to reveal how regressive some present day societies have evolved, the image of the woman in medieval India has been especially highlighted depicting the liberal thought of this age.
The first movement “Shakti” represents prayer flags and the forces of nature. According to Buddhist tradition, the prayers on a flag are carried by the sun, rain and wind to God. Nature in its original magnificence and power is called "Shakti" in Indian tradition and is a female personification. The hexatonic scale uses C♯, G♯, D♯ and A♯ — this scale is often used in the ritual music of Tibetan Buddhism.
The second movement sets the poetry of “Kabir” (1440–1520) and of the Upanishads to music. The Upanishads urge the human to seek the truth, leave darkness and seek light which will lead to spiritual immortality; the Indian poet Kabir adds that the search for God has urgency. This is a phenomenon of today's busy life where little value is given to spirituality and contemplation. This slow movement has two parts and a largely tonal structure. The low instrumentation represents the darkness of the forest and the lure of inertia.
The third movement is of a chamber music character and a poem Amir “ Khusro” (1253–1325) has been used. Noteworthy for this tradition of Sufi poetry coming from a Muslim background of the 13th century is the metaphoric imagery of a female image of God; this would be unthinkable in today's times. Is God a woman? The rhythm is in 7/8 and varies in a cycle of quadruplets and quintuplets; this complex rhythm is often used in percussion traditions of Northern India. Here, the tonality changes between an A minor chord which is augmented through chromatic movement, and an irregular pentatonic scale.
“Meera” (1498–1547), the poet of the fourth movement says that spirituality and sensuality are in no way contradictory and this idea was also anchored in the Christian tradition of Middle Age Europe. However, the world of today has taken a step backwards as far as this is concerned. Meera’s devo-tional ecstasy and physical agony is reflected in the music. The rhythm of this movement is based on Indian folk rhythms which are played not only by the percussionists, but also by the lower strings. The tonality ranges from a clear A♭ major to an augmented C with an additional dominant seventh. Disconcerting harmonies represent Meera’s torments and longings which finally find salvation on the heavenly bed of the groom/God.
Prayer Flags is a musical journey into the realm of spirituality, love and longing. The mystical relation-ship of a lover and his beloved where divine love embraces creation and the depths of the human soul are touched. The journey is full of inner torment; but in this desperation and fear something transcends the human understanding and the seeker is transformed. His identity merges with God and leads him from duality to unity.
Our world is on the brink of self-destruction and there is an urgent need for introspection and reflection to find peace. This symphony reflects the longing for this inner peace and harmony in a world full of turmoil and upheaval. | 2019-04-24T08:41:48Z | null | 405 | 4,112 | null | 0 | []

Oh Madeleines they are my weakness, I adore making this yummy little French cakes. Easy to make and oh so good, this time I added some chocolate to them, Green and Blacks toffee it was divine.
whip the eggs with sugar and salt then slowly add the sifted flour and baking powder, lemon and vanilla essence.
What will you add to yours?
These look so gorgeous Rebecca!
I love the idea of putting the chocolate inside the Madeleine!
Yum! Madeleines are my weakness too!
I will add some chocolate too except it will be the Chili chocolate from Lindt that I eat every single day!
Rebecca you are killing me with these, they look awesome. The madeleine is tempting, but with the chocolate it is over the top!!
I've had my chocolate ration for the year. I made some with orange flower water and cardamom - http://www.cookingdownunder.com/articles/2008/328.htm They're fun to make, aren't they.
looks superb and very tempting..
Oh you keep coming at us with chocolate!
I would like these any way I could get them!
oh how I'll miss chocolate for the next 40 days. hehehe... I guess I'll have to stick to the regular madeleines, which isn't so bad either.
I loooove Madeleines too but I have never made them. I think I definitely have to now:)Madeleines + chocolate = heaven!
These are just divine! A madeline is just perfect on its own but then the addition of chocolate just puts it over the top. Delicious.
Looks like 100 % deliciousness!
Oh wow I love Madleines and I know I will love it even more with chocolate! Looks wonderful.
Even madeleines are my weakness, can finish a packet just like that, this chocolate filled madeleines looks abosolutely divine..
I love madeleines. Yours look very delicious. I tried to make the other day but it was a complete failure. Didn't know what went wrong. I should try again one of these days. Must be my lack of patience...haha.
Mmm these look nice, I am yet to make madeleines. They sound even better with the addition of chocolate.
I would be in Alex's good books for months if I baked these and you make it sound so simple that its well worth it. I wouldnt change a thing in the recipe!
I've seen variations of Madeleines, but never chocolate. How clever of you Rebecca. I'll have to get out my Madeleine pan and give these a try.
oh Rebecca, those look fabulous!
I can see why these are your weakness - anything chocolate is my weakness too!
Yum! They sound scrumptious with the chocolate filling!
What a terrific sweet treat!
How scrumptious Rebecca! I'd add chocolate too!
These look delicious! I love madeleine's also...way to liven them up a bit.
I don't think it gets much better than chocolate filled madeleines!
Love these, Rebecca! I'm crazy for madeleines too. I have made pine nut madeleines and have some pistachio flour I am going to try next. Have never filled them though. Great idea!
I just wanted to thank you for popping by my blog yesterday. Please come back any time! These Madeleines look delicious... like most women, chocolate is pretty much my weakness!
Doc: oh I did that last time!
Lovely! I have always wanted to make these - I have the mould and no excuse really. Great idea to put chocolate in them!
Rebecca, these look really really GOOD with filled chocolate.
These Madeleines look great Rebecca! I have been going crazy baking lately, so I have to try making these chocolate filled yummies soon!
These look great! Taste of Beirut's chili chocolate would be quite interesting in your Madeleines, wouldn't it? yum.
yum! I haven't had madeleines in ages, and they sound so great with the chocolate in them!
the last photo is calling out my name... would love to have this right now with my cup of tea.
Omigosh - how gorgeous. Omigosh - how tasty is chocolate inside the madleine.... perfect!
Ohhh, I want about a dozen of your madeleines right now with an ice cold glass of milk! They look wonderful!!
Wow!Great job, Rebecca! They look delicious!
You can make these for me any time you'd like!
Hahaha ...! Never would I have thought of having a choco-filled madeleine!! You're so creative! Brilliant idea, friend!
I can totally see why you have a weakness for these! Yum!
Yumm..no wonder it's your favorite.Adding chocolate is a wonderful idea..great week end Rebecca !
Trix: oh that would be very cool!
LK: oh they are calling your name!
I will certainly fill mine with nutella!
Yummy! These just look wonderful!
Mmm...adding chocolate is the perfect touch!
I was just think of making Madeleines, I like the chocolate idea.
These chocolate madeleines look great!

Technology has grown leaps and bounds just in my short life, and it’s amazing (and perhaps a bit terrifying) how its convenience is so depended upon in our everyday lives now. When I was in elementary school, we were using books and encyclopedias for research, but by the time I reached middle school it was all in Google’s hands. I remember when everyone had the “brick” Nokia cell phone and texting became a popular form of communication. Now, I can’t imagine what I would do without having a search engine, a GPS, a watch, and everything else smartphones provide right in my pocket!
As a Best Buy employee since 2012, I’m often the first person my friends and family turn to for tech and social media questions. I’m always looking at the various articles regarding new technology to keep up with what’s going on and being developed. Although, this only seems to lead to an unquenchable desire to try out the new tech for myself – luckily for my wallet I have a bit of self-control (sometimes). I also love to keep up with my various social media channels, and have even recently been teaching my oldest sister the ins-and-outs of Facebook as she tries to catch up to her siblings in the realm of social media.
In my spare time, you can find me enjoying a variety of hobbies. Binge watching whatever current TV show I’m in the middle of or checking out the newest movies, reading (my favorite easily being the Harry Potter series), listening to music, snowboarding, and hiking with my husband and our corgi, Pippin (named after the hobbit in The Lord of the Rings) just to name a few.
I look forward to joining you into the conversation! | 2019-04-21T10:33:13Z | null | 277.5 | 1,639 | null | 0 | []

Well, folks, the results are in. Though the competition was fierce, The Lego Movie defeated The Grand Budapest Hotel by, get this, a single vote. So anyone out there who really really loved Budapest but was too lazy to vote and just assumed it would win, let the record now show that your votes counts on this site.
Having defeated Inherent Vice, Interstellar, AND Guardians of the Galaxy, the MLK historical drama deservedly claims its spot in the final round. The Lego Movie won landslide victories over Nightcrawler and John Wick, but just barely slipped in ahead of The Grand Budapest Hotel. This final may strike you as an odd pairing, but I would remind you that Selma is not The Civil Rights Movement, and The Lego Movie is not your favorite toy and an icon of your cherished childhood: they are both films. They are great, well-executed, and totally different, but they are just movies. When you vote in this poll, please keep that in mind; you’re not making a big statement either way.
The poll is now live. Let the best film win. | 2019-04-19T03:14:04Z | null | 333.3 | 1,039 | null | 0 | []

« My big ones for your little ones….
More than a week in Montreal and barely any French has stuck.
I didn’t really even try to learn/use any French while I was there (what an Ugly American, I know).
But we are home and although I’m not looking forward to returning to reality, I am glad to be back in L.A. where the heat is dry (and not humid). And where I can actually read the street signs, too.
Welcome home, :: jozjozjoz :: !!!
Don’t worry about not speaking French. You didn’t have to, because you were in Montreal. Quebec City would have been a different story, however.
I took two years of French in high school, and retained about 0.1% of it. Maybe the language is designed to fade away over time or something.
WELCOME BACK! I spent 2 weeks in Canada and didn’t hear any french:( Those steet signs sure were a pain though! We were in an OLD van that didn’t have metric mph!
Ann, there’s no such thing as “metric mph”. The “m” in mph means “miles”. You perhaps mean “kph”.
Welcome back jozzy! I missed ya!
Awwww! Tu ne regret rien.. Or someting.. Welcome back!
well, as long as no one said, “voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?” in front of you and yoshi, it’s all right.
besides, quebecois french is more rustic than french from france, and people would think you were a hick if you tried speaking it.
dang, i really am gay, aren’t i?
I’m glad you got back OK! (Friends of Joz, I was forced to play French translator when things got rough and I have only about 50 words). Post pics soon!
I miss the river today. We need a real river instead of a concrete ditch.
Glad you both had a good time! Welcome home!
Welcome back! We left California nice for you.
Rustic, are we? Hmmm. Mon hostie de tabarnack de saint-ciboire. | 2019-04-25T22:38:40Z | null | 549.1 | 1,727 | null | 0 | []

As first time home buyers, purchasing our first home can be a fun and exciting new experience but it can also bring about its own headaches. With Christina and Randy, the latter was never experienced. Christina and Randy made us feel very comfortable with the decisions we made and were very patient to answer all of our questions. It also helps that they were knowledgeable and were very informative around the home buying process. Taylor and I felt more like family than just another set of clients looking for a home. Not once did we ever feel like we were left stranded during the process as Christina and Randy were always on hand to answer any questions we had. We really enjoyed our first time home buying experience with M.R.G. || Menear Realty Group. We’ll definitely be referring them to our friends and family. | 2019-04-20T02:55:16Z | null | 380.1 | 821 | null | 0 | []

I love: traveling, farmer's markets on Saturday mornings, running, fro-yo, my Mom-who is my Angel, California, everything about Target, iced coffee, fashion, DIY projects (the ones that aren't failures).
We met: At Bowling Green State University, my freshman year-his sophomore year.
We love: our two babies-Camden (human baby) and Rocky (fur baby), traveling/planning vacations, boating with Billy's family in the summer, being active, our favorite places: Naples-FL, Charlotte-NC, Boston, and Lake Tahoe, Discovery Channel(him), Bravo(her), Ohio State Football, visiting new restaurants.
...he is the sweetest, happiest little boy! Makes our world so much better!
Loves: Being spoiled and getting attention, pink toys (not sure why, but I love them the MOST), going on bike rides, cuddling on the couch, bow ties, looking out the window, sticking my head out the window on car rides, laying out on our deck, being the coolest dog on the block.
some personal, some recipes, various DIY home projects/crafts, and fashion.
You can also find me on twitter and instagram (love) at: @katiewkrysh. | 2019-04-18T20:23:43Z | null | 636.4 | 1,092 | null | 0 | []

WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 27, 2018) – In a major victory for First Amendment rights, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled today in Janus v. AFSCME that non-union government workers cannot be required to pay union fees as a condition of working in public service. This landmark case restores the First Amendment rights of free speech and freedom of association to more than five million public school teachers, first responders and other government workers across the country.
Janus filed his case in Illinois in 2015 with free legal representation from the Illinois-based Liberty Justice Center and the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation.
Illinois is among 22 states that has required many government workers to pay union fees as a condition of employment. Plaintiff Mark Janus has worked for state government in Illinois as a child support specialist since 2007. Over the past decade, he was forced to pay thousands of dollars in union fees to the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) – even though he opposes many of the union’s positions on public policy issues, felt he would be better off without the union’s so-called representation and was never asked if he wanted to be covered by a union contract. Now that the Supreme Court has ruled in his favor, Janus will not be required to pay these union fees.
The fight over non-member union fees intensified in Illinois in 2015, when Gov. Bruce Rauner filed a lawsuit asking a federal judge in Chicago to declare non-member union fees unconstitutional. Lower courts ruled that the governor did not have standing to bring this suit because he personally was not required to pay union fees. That’s when state worker Mark Janus intervened in the lawsuit with the help of the Liberty Justice Center and National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation. The case was renamed Janus v. AFSCME, and Janus was successful in taking this fight all the way to the highest court in the nation.
The Liberty Justice Center is a nonprofit, nonpartisan public-interest litigation center that fights to protect economic liberty, private property rights, free speech, and other fundamental rights in Illinois and beyond. First and foremost, the Liberty Justice Center seeks to ensure that the rights to earn a living and to start a business, which are essential to a free and prosperous society, are available not just to a politically privileged few, but to all. The Liberty Justice Center pursues its goals through strategic, precedent-setting litigation to revitalize constitutional restraints on government power and protections for individual rights.

The other night, I decided to try out a “Red Heart” pill that I ordered from New Zealand. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the pamphlet said a safe alternative to extacy, so I went in to it hoping that I would have a great experience.
Well, I certainly didn’t expect as much as I received! My Mum and I took 1 pill each at 7.45 pm. The pills were slow to act; about 1 hour, as apposed to about half an hour for an E. The Red Heart also came on less dramatically. I didn’t get a rush of the drug entering my system. Rather, it was a slow gradual increase in the intensity.
About an hour after we took the pill, Mum suggested we have a few cones. It was Mum’s gear and I hadn’t tried it before. So, I had a couple of cones and passed the bong on to Mum. I stepped back and looked at her and said “wow, that’s good pot Mum……. It really good pot!” That’s when Mum said “are you sure it’s the pot, and not the pill?” I realised at that point that these Red Hearts were really awesome!
The sensations that I felt were similar to extacy, but a bit different. The Red Hearts seemed to connect me with my intuition and subconscious on an unbelievable level. Every moment was filled with life-changing realisations about life, and everything in between that you could ever imagine. I understood things so deeply, it was amazing!
Time stood still. These Red Hearts had me pumping, I had limitless energy, motivation and interest in everything. I felt like I didn’t have a single need for anything. Being thirsty wasn’t unpleasant; my 3 inch heels didn’t hurt my feet, even after wearing them for hours and hours.
I felt loving and warm and comfortable within my self, my surroundings and in other people. I had to stop and remind myself that it wasn’t extacy that I took, it was a red heart. As with extacy, I had an intensification of my senses, and WOW could I dance!!!
My internal dialogue was (in hindsight) hilarious! If anyone knew what I was thinking, they would have thought I was so up myself. I had an intense feeling of purpose and ability. I became intensely interested in being the best person I could be; intelligent, attractive and an all round nice person. I realised that the character of Reece Witherspoon in Legally Blonde 1 and 2 was my idol. I wanted to be just like Eve!
I had a dramatically heightened sense of appreciation in every sense of the word. In fact, a lot of things that I said started with “I have a heightened sense of understanding other people’s needs” or “I have a heightened sense of acceptance” or “I have a heightened sense of self-awareness”. Every perception was heightened, and I couldn’t stop saying it!!!!
And the best thing is that Mum was in the same frame of mind, and everything I said to her was so interesting, so we never had a dull moment. The worst thing was that I had to get up early because it was my son’s 6th birthday the next morning, and I had to do the present thing and put on a little party. At 3.30 am, I was still pumped, and wanting to party. But, I just couldn’t sleep (even when I thought I was sleeping, my thoughts didn’t stop, so I don’t know if I actually slept at all, or if it was a case of having intense thoughts during my sleep), I was majorly bummed out energy wise all day.
On the subject of negative side effects: I had way less adverse reactions from the Red Hearts, except I still clenched my jaw terribly (although grinding wasn’t a problem). I didn’t have the emotional low that I have had after taking an E, and I’m sure if I was able to sleep the next day, that I would have bounced back faster.
Overall, I think that Red Hearts are definitely worth the money. For me, they are a suitable substitute for extacy. They are not exactly the same as extacy, but I feel that if my body copes better with the side effects of the red hearts, that the extra bit of edge you get from extacy isn’t worth it, if I suffer so much more with the comedown.
By the way, I’ve already ordered more……. NEW YEARS EVE……… here I come!!!!! | 2019-04-23T12:21:07Z | null | 290 | 3,994 | null | 0 | []

APAP- or Automatic Positive Airway Pressure- is a medical grade device quite similar in function to a CPAP machine. The PAP based devices help to deliver a given prescribed air pressure into the airways of the patient, in order to maintain the airways from collapsing. Patients with Central Sleep Apnea or OSA – Obstructive Sleep Apnea need such a device to help combat their apnea events. The air pressure delivered by an APAP is set just as to help push through any obstructions and keep the airways clear and open.
The motor of the device– which resembles a compressor. The role of the motor is to subtract the air from the environment (the room), pass it through a special filter, and then pressurize it according to the set levels. Then, the prescribed amount of air pressure will pass through the tubing and ultimately through the mask which delivers it directly into the airways of the patient.
The hose of the machine is basically the delivery system. The hose will transport the air from the main unit and into the mask. The hose systems are typically long (6 feet or even longer), which allows for more freedom of movement and patients can store their main units wherever convenient within that distance.
The masks – are available in many shapes and styles. One of the most important factors of compliant air therapy is selecting a well-fitting mask. Some patients prefer full face masks, while others the nasal masks.
CPAP- or Continuous Positive Air Pressure- devices are usually set to deliver a single pressure setting. The sleep specialist is the one who will determine the required pressure setting for the patient, following a sleep study. However, one of the biggest problems faced by patients wearing a CPAP is this single pressure. Some patients find it extremely difficult to exhale against a high pressure coming from the unit. The patient requires a higher setting upon inhalation to maintain the airways open, but upon exhalation, this high pressure feels quite uncomfortable.
This is exactly where an APAP differs from the CPAP. The APAP machines have 2 types of different pressure settings- a lower pressure setting which is the most reduced pressure that is needed by the patient in order to prevent his apnea events, and a higher pressure setting. APAP devices operate based on extremely complex algorithms that help to deliver pressure on a “breath-by-breath” basis, just as needed by the patient. The device is capable of delivering a most natural pressure pattern, following the breathing waveform of the patient. Once the two different pressure levels are set, the machine will deliver pressurized air that stays in between these levels- never higher and never below the minimum required amount of pressure.
They are versatile devices. An APAP can also function as a CPAP if needed; meaning that it can be set to deliver pressured air at one single pressure setting. For example, if a patient cannot become compliant with APAP therapy, the machine can be set into CPAP mode, eliminating the need for buying another type of device.
The APAP devices are capable of adjusting to different pressure settings based on your stage of sleep. The APAP machine will deliver a higher type of pressure during your REM sleep stage (the deepest, most relaxed sleep when you are mostly exposed to apnea events). However, the APAP will then return to more gentle pressures during the light sleeping stages, thus making therapy more comfortable and also efficient.
APAP devices can change the pressure level and adapt to your needs at all times. For example, if you lose weight the risk of apnea events is reduced because you will have less fatty tissue in your throat causing you problems. Then, if you gain weight you will most probably require higher pressure settings because the fatty tissues have become denser/ they have grown and you have difficulty breathing. The APAP can basically adapt even to these lifestyle changes and follow your needs on a breath by breath basis.
APAP machines use different algorithms and technologies, so not all machines are the same. However, your physician is the one who will redirect you towards the most efficient type of air pressure therapy in your case. You might need an APAP, but your doctor might also tell you that a CPAP with a fixed pressure is just enough in your case. APAP machines are also more expensive, but they cater mostly to patients with more precise and complex requirements in terms of oxygen therapy.
I am interested in an Air mini but I have reservations of not being able to use a humidifier (humidx) with my Airfit F20. I’m afraid that Resmed will come out with a new version that will accommodate the Airfit f20 with Humidx and I will not be able to retrofit the current Air mini. | 2019-04-24T00:30:21Z | null | 383.3 | 4,764 | null | 0.041352 | [

Vogon poetry is of course the third worst in the Universe. The second worst is that of the Azgoths of Kria. During a recitation by their Poet Master Grunthos the Flatulent of his poem “Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Morning” four of his audience died of internal hemorrhaging, and the President of the Mid-Galactic Arts Nobbling Council survived by gnawing one of his own legs off. Grunthos is reported to have been “disappointed” by the poem’s reception, and was about to embark on a reading of his twelve-book epic entitled My Favorite Bathtime Gurgles when his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save life and civilization, leaped straight up through his neck and throttled his brain.

So I got an Apple Watch for Christmas. To be honest, I wasn’t sure I wanted one, but I was curious enough to throw some hints Megan’s way and she went in with my in-laws to get me one. And now that I have it I fiddle with the thing all the time, of course. What’s been surprising about a device that’s strapped to my body is how much it tells me about my habits. Well, more to the point, about the habits I don’t do. Since I’ve begun wearing the thing, I’ve learned that I don’t exercise enough, I don’t drink enough water, and I’m not getting as much sleep as I should. I was probably aware of all those facts at some level, but now I have the cold hard facts, staring me in the face through the glowing thing strapped to my wrist. Thanks, Apple Watch, for helping me realize I’m a dried up, bleary eyed schlub.
But I have to hand it to Apple, knowing that my watch is tracking all those things actually makes me do better. I am more motivated to get in my exercise times. The occasional buzz on my wrist does, in fact, help me remember to drink a little more water. I am getting to bed a little earlier than I was. And for all that, I think I feel better. It’s accountability I didn’t know I needed, or wanted.
One habit I have been doing well is reading through my Bible in a year. I began in November with a friend, which means I’m smack dab in the middle of Numbers right now. Trawling through Leviticus/Numbers/Deuteronomy can feel repetitive and arcane, embedded as those narratives are in the ancient context, but as I’ve been reading about the laws for sacrifice and the numerous ways one can be declared unclean, I have been wondering how that would have shaped the thinking of the average Israelite. I imagine they would have had to keep close watch on their actions, ever conscious of what could cause them to need ritual cleansing. Would that have helped remind them that they were “set apart” by God to be a special people? When they kept track of the different feasts and sacrifices, would that have kept in the forefront of their minds their dependance on God and his faithfulness? I have to believe that those kinds of habits would have informed their spirituality somehow. Just as the habits my Apple Watch has enforced have made me think differently about my health, surely the way of life that God called the Israelites to would have made them think differently about him.
Which has made me think about my own rituals. What are the things I do, day after day, and how are they changing the way I think? Our habits conform us, and much of the time we aren’t even conscious of them. They are, after all, the things we do over and over again: mini-rituals. Their frequency bears on our souls. When our first act in the morning is to pick up the phone to check email or Facebook, could we be teaching our soul, ever so subtly, that our primary satisfaction is in the busy buzz of our social feed? When we dial up the news station on our drive, or at home, day after day, do we feed our sense of fear? There are the habits we don’t do as well. When we never make time for silence, do we ever learn to listen? When we never take a day off from work, whether home or career, are we learning to rest and trust God to provide?
I never would have imagined that my Apple Watch would intersect with Leviticus, but there you go; both conspire to change my way of life. As a follower of Jesus, I believe he fulfilled all that those sacrifices and rituals meant, and that they’re no longer necessary. But I also believe that he’s given me his Holy Spirit to help me shape my life to be like his. I have no doubt it’s his Spirit that has brought me to ask what rituals, what grace-infused habits, he calls me to today. You don’t need an Apple Watch or Leviticus to do the same, just inviting the Holy Spirit into your habits and thinking will do.
Will you take the time to do that today? Simply beginning by writing down a typical day for you and inviting the Holy Spirit to help you think about that could be a great start.
P.S. This isn’t the first time I’ve been brought to this kind of reflection. One tool I’ve found helpful is a practice called a “rule of life.” A very helpful resource that allows you to work through how God has made you and what habits he is calling you to is Steve Macchia’s workbook "Crafting a Rule of Life: An Invitation to the Well-Ordered Way." I hope you find it useful too! | 2019-04-24T11:53:34Z | null | 382.4 | 4,411 | null | 0 | []

HOW IS THIS PAPER PHILOSOPHY?
This paper answers a call made by Anita Allen to genuinely assess whether the field of philosophy has the capacity to sustain the work of diverse peoples. By identifying a pervasive culture of justification within professional philosophy, I gesture to the ways professional philosophy is not an attractive working environment for many diverse practitioners. As a result of the downsides of the culture of justification that pervades professional philosophy, I advocate that the discipline of professional philosophy be cast according to a culture of praxis. Finally, I provide a comparative exercise using Graham Priests definition of philosophy and Audre Lordes observations of the limitations of philosophical theorizing to show how these two disparate accounts can be understood as philosophical engagement with a shift to a culture of praxis perspective.

ICT Commissioner Dondi Mapa cites two competitive advantages of the Philippines.
Mike Abundo chats with ICT Commissioner Dondi Mapa and posts it in his Information Narcosis podcast.
Update #1 (Dec 17, 2005): Mike Abundo posts "Comments on Dondi Chat" -- Mike, the "more broadband choices" point refers to Filipinos staying connected with the world via the internet, and not to the issue of internet literacy (internet literates posting on behalf of internet illiterates).
We can't really compare internet literacy with television literacy. Consumers of the latter are passive, while those of the former are more "interactively fidgety". Besides, we still have a lot of television and radio "illiterates" today.
And going back to the 11.8 million internet literates, what percent is blogging? Less than half a percent? No, even if internet connection costs dropped to zero, computers magically appeared in every home, and every Filipino suddenly became internet literate, you still won't see a surge in the blogging population.
Similar to the case of online forums or discussion boards, there are lots of lurkers and very few posters.
1. Robust telecom infrastructure - the $10 billion fiber optic high-speed digital network which spans the Philippines is connected with the rest of the world via six submarine cables and five satellite earth stations. The redundant connections help ensure that the Philippines will be online 24x7.
2. Human capital - skills of Filipinos, knowledge of English, ability to work while those in the West are asleep (because of differences in time zones).
Comment: The telecom infrastructure works if the Pinoy internet users (or knowledge workers/managers) are subscribers of several internet service providers. Otherwise, when their DSL connection goes down, that's it.
What amount of business can we expect?
The Philippine government aims to establish a community e-center in each municipality. People in those areas will take classes to help them use the internet, and to find out where to get information that is useful to them. For example, farmers will be taught where to find info about the weather, planting techniques, and the like.
Comm. Mapa also mentioned that Maguindanao is some kind of success story, but I'll see if I can find links to that story online.
At any rate, he also talks about government e-services, such as the ability to get your birth certificate online.
Mike Abundo wondered when the 11.8 million Filipinos on the internet will enter the blogosphere, and Comm. Mapa said that just like email, it will take a while.
While promoting the concept of the Philippines as a cyberservices corridor, Comm. Mapa talked about an ICT Blueprint to help companies make productive use of ICT (Information and Communication Technology).
My take? It appears that they're doing it in reverse: TCI instead of ICT.
To give information to farmers, they don't need an e-center first. They need the information, first. The information can be in the form of printed materials and good old fashioned lectures. Get trainors to interact with farmers and explain to them planting techniques, marketing skills, and globalization concepts.
If, after getting the information, the farmers want (or even have the time) for communication and technology, then let them learn. Otherwise, get hold of those already experienced in Communication and Technology to help these farmers.
Let others register the domain names, set-up the web hosting, build the content management systems, take digital photos of our local products, copywrite on the web, engage in search engine optimization and internet marketing, develop email autoresponder follow-up systems, program online payment systems, update blogs and perhaps launch podcasts.
Do the techies have time to farm? Do the farmers have time to be techies? Do the marketing wizards want to learn HTML?
People have different roles and different skills. Get them together, and help them work with one another. Give them the information first. Then, if ever they decide to broaden their skills, provide the communication and the technology.
Ate Bernie sells puto pao. She does not have a computer, much less access to the internet. A friend who's a techie blogs about Ate Bernie and her products, and posts online her telephone number. A customer surfs on the web, finds the info about Ate Bernie and her puto pao and contacts her via the phone. They get together and a business deal is made.
Is that e-commerce? Even if the seller knows nothing about the internet?
That's the power of ICT and not TCI. Think about it. | 2019-04-21T09:04:26Z | null | 518.8 | 4,585 | null | 0 | []

Dodie Kazanjian writes the piece accompanying Amy Cappellazzo’s photo shoot in Vogue. It also coincides with her announcement of Art Agency Partners, her new firm with advisor Allan Schwartzman.
Kazanjian’s assessment offers a few clues to what Art Agency Partners will do. Vogue is presenting Cappellazzo’s move as the art world’s Big Bang and it is worth following Kazanjian’s reasoning through to its conclusion. Cappellazzo is a singular personality in the art market. Is her new venture a sign of significant change in the art market or a measure of her own ambitions?
In a 2006 interview, Amy’s somewhat tactless remark that “we’re the big-box retailer putting the mom-and-pops out of business” went viral and infuriated a lot of art dealers, but in retrospect it sounds increasingly prophetic.
Prophetic? Absolutely. But in the broader economy, the age of the big box retailer is fading. With a few exceptions, big box stores are now retail’s laggards, the installed base that is being disrupted by online commerce.
her primary focus was on what became Christie’s major coup in 2012, beating out Sotheby’s and Gagosian to partner with the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts on a series of Warhol sales. This was a big game-changer in the industry. “We basically said, ‘We’re now representing artists’ estates,’ ” she says. The real development here is that most of the Warhol sales are happening online—because Amy insisted on it. Thousands of minor works, priced at less than $100,000 each—Polaroids, photo-booth strips, prints, T-shirts with Andy’s self-portrait in a fright wig—are being made available through e-commerce and promoted through social media. There is enough material to keep going for the next five years.
There’s plenty of material but not necessarily enough money. Because Christie’s does not make available the online sales results, we will never know whether the five-year supply of Warholiana will generate a sufficient return on Christie’s $100m investment or even recoup it.
Therein lies the bind for anyone with big ambitions working at an auction house. On the top end, the auction house heavy-hitter cannot get paid like a private dealer. But the bottom end cannot be expanded enough—and least not yet—to generate volume or margins that materially change the fortunes of the enterprise.
“I’m also going to be advising artists.” Established artists, she means—not to represent them, but to offer the market-savvy expertise she’s acquired over the years. Dealers won’t like this, but Amy has a lot of artist friends, and just about everyone she’s ever worked with wants to work with her again. | 2019-04-20T01:22:19Z | null | 341.1 | 2,634 | null | 0 | []

In trials with clinical staff, Flomark™ patented design has been proven to significantly reduce time taken to set infusion rates in comparison to traditional IV administration sets.
The simple design allows the Flomark™ to be manufactured at the same competitive cost.
Traditional administration sets have not changed for decades. These devices are inaccurate, posing a threat to patient safety.
Studies have shown that prescribed rates are rarely adhered to in practice. One study showed that less than 15% of infusions were within +/- 10% of desired rates, while only 21% of observations fell within +/- 20% of desired rates (1). Another showed that 26% were correctly administered at the prescribed rate (percentage error 10% to -10%), 67% were infused too slowly and 8% were infused too quickly (2).
The cost of inaccurate infusions amounts to USD$3.98 per patient per day (4).
Variation in set up rates between Flomark™ and a standard ‘drip counter’ giving set in a sample of 13 practicing nurses. The subjects were not provided with training and were asked to administer a standard 1L bag of 0.9% normal saline over 8 hours (125 mls/hr) ex vivo under experimental conditions. The difference between the two was statistically significant (t test p<0.006).
Deviation from ideal flow rate (mls/hour) over time. The graph represents mean data taken from 12 IL bags of 0.9% Normal Saline administered ex-vivo using either a Flomark™ giving set or a standard control set over 12 hours. The Flomark™ maintains the prescribed rate (83.33 mls/hr) for twice as long as the drip count set up, and over the course of the experiment, the difference between the two was statistically significant (1 way ANOVA p=<0.001).
We tested the Flomark™ against a regular gravity administration set (standard 'drip') with doctors and nurses on the front line of a busy London teaching hospital.
The Flomark™ has robust IP (PCT Chapter II phase, positive IPRP, national phases now entered). We are looking for commercial partners to benefit from this opportunity. | 2019-04-19T12:22:24Z | null | 1,491.1 | 2,245 | null | 0 | []

Juliet Y. Mark – Escape to the world where women rule!
Ava discovers the descendants of Eve living in the city of Evlantis, the city ruled by women, for women, where the rights of men have completely eroded. Due to her lineage, Ava’s physical abilites are paranormal, but her innocence prevents her from being able to recognize evil. Ava becomes embroiled in the political machinations of Sephora, who is determined, no matter what the cost, to turn the idyllic city of Evlantis into a cruel dictatorship. Ava does not want to jeopardize her opportunity to be reunited with her loved ones, but comes to the realization that she must choose a side in the conflict and chaos stirred up by Sephora. To do nothing will cost her everything she hopes for.
Ava, having successfully out-maneuvered Sephora in The Queendom of Evlantis, has made a dangerous enemy in Sephora, who seeks revenge. The solution Ava employed has left the city of Evlantis divided sister against sister and mother against daughter. Men are no longer under total control of the women. Ava and her band of heroines must stay proactive and alert to prevent Sephora’s return to power. | 2019-04-23T16:23:55Z | null | 371.2 | 1,148 | null | 0 | []

For those unfamiliar with the practice of search engine optimization, also known as the acronym SEO for short. SEO involves utilization of a series of strategies, tactics and techniques to streamline the content on your pages that make them more appealing for search engines spiders (the programs that scour the web and index your pages). As a result, such pages rank higher in organic positions (non sponsored / natural search results) otherwise known as search engine result pages (or SERPs).
SEO can be broken into two distinct categories. On-page SEO and Off-page SEO. You may ask what is the difference between the two?
1) the content - which involves the keywords your use (what you want to be found for).
2) The titles on the page - undoubtedly one of the most important factors for organic (natural) rankings in search engines. The title in conjunction with the content alone, using a content management system such as a word press blog with a few custom plug ins, are more than enough to provide consistent high ranking search engine results.
3) The layout and usability / stickiness factor of your pages.
4) Selection of The programming language and platform (static html pages, XHTML, .php, .asp. .cfm, etc.) Each has certain advantages based on the needs of your content.
5) Usability, one of the foremost aspects of design, it must serve a purpose to elevate the user's navigation and encourage them to dig deeper and spend more time on your site.
1) Having a clean hosting environment (free of spam laden or MFA/Made for Adsense Sites). As well as low quality crash and burn websites which could sabotage your rankings, if they are hosted on a shared IP address with those types of sites.
2) Server side issues such as having the right .htaccess files, robots.txt files, and proper server configuration to eliminate duplicate content or other known issues that can interfere with achieving a high search engine position.
3) Internal linking - how the sites navigation is established, which pages are linked to which as well as the site architecture and internal structure. Internal links determine which page is given the most significance, if a page has the prominent features on the homepage, then all other pages should link to the home page with anchor text (the text in the link) using the keywords (the terms you want to rank for) with at least one link from each page.
Other methods include theming and siloing which is a method that devises a very organized site structure (using folders and links to determine which pages rank highest and for which terms). Virtual theming involves using content that semantically uses relevant keyword-rich content and folder names (naming conventions) with information segmented into specific categories to augment search engine rankings.
Such structures with content aligned in succinct fashion in coupled with strategic link building can produce web pages that skyrocket straight to the top of search engines (for highly competitive terms) as a result of careful planning and consistent link development. Depending on the trust factor and authority of sites linking to you, your content can literally acquire traction within 4-6 months from a virtually new site (before SEO), and emerge through chrysalis as a holistic, niche specific ranking juggernaut.
4) How you utilize your own websites internal linking structure (in conjunction with keyword and links) can determine if your website ranks for a number of less competitive terms (like a flashlight), or establishes it's sights on a lofty competitive term (like a laser beam) and acquires it through using a tactful array of semantically varied external links (links from other websites using the main keywords) via off page link building (to link back to your website from other sites).
5) External links and Link Building - Finding seasoned websites with authority from the same niche provide the most "link juice" back to your website. Quality is more important than quantity, hence having an extensive link develop program involves careful consideration and thoughtful planning.
The basis of any link building campaign is scrutinous keyword research, where one carefully evaluates the potential for traffic and relevance from visitors that will eventually find your site as a result of conducting searches in search engine queries.
The idea is, to successfully implement enough relevant On-page SEO (content/text and the core of the website) and align it to your Off-page SEO (holistically, like a homing beacon) to elevate your pages for specific keywords that you determine through which anchor text you put in the back links or how other link to you.
Although, once you understand the process, as it may seem simply systematic, each website has a unique threshold of criteria that are required to unlock it's optimal search engine visibility.
Factors such as market conditions (the competition), On-page factors such as design, layout, traffic to the page (and link popularity), proper W3C compliant coding (an industry standard) as well over 200 additional variables are all calculated in an instant and returned out of the top 1000 search results every time a search is conducted. Such variable are calculated and recalculated for relevance as search engine algorithms (the ranking criteria) distinguish the highest potential match for the search query entered in a search box.
If your page or pages have all of the necessary ingredients, then they are promoted past the numerous thousands of other lackluster pages for that topic (sometimes millions of pages) that neglected to adhere to the known SEO factors and guidelines that search engines reward and elevate respectively.
The first thing you should understand is, that content is the true basis of rankings, so what you write and how you compose your content has a profound ability to impact rankings and relevance for the who, what and where your information will appear, and how it is acted upon. Turning window shoppers into customers is called conversion, conversion is the goal of SEO (to close a sale, to increase readership of a blog, to have more RSS really simple syndication subscribers, lead-generation, or just filling out a form) all are forms of conversion starting from the time they click the title and enter your page.
Knowing this, you can essentially pick a series of keywords, integrate them into savvy and compelling post or articles and use viral marketing methods such as article marketing (like you are reading now using other websites who exchange content for back links), social media (that provides the ability to network, share your content and vote on it for link / story popularity) and link building (to develop authority and trust for your blog or website pages and drive pre-qualified traffic from search engines).
All of these methods used in concert allow you to influence the probability of attaining a high ranking position for multiple keywords. This is the key to securing traffic and revenue, specifically crafted pages with extremely relevant links equal satisfied visitors who reciprocate in kind through their actions (purchasing your product or service) if all of the "feel good" pass the muster.
I hope this article sheds some light on search engine optimization and the stages involved. The fundamentals expounded upon are an excellent SEO 101 primer regarding website promotion and understanding search engine optimization.

Christian Preacher-to-be Finds Home in Paganism… Now What?
I am a pagan hiding in the world of Christianity. When I came to college, a christian university at that, I was planning on being a preacher. But as I went further and further into school the more and more I felt like I was missing something. Then I found magic, and a void was filled for the first time in my life. I have become a dedicated pagan but just still in the broom closet so to speak. But my dilemma is, I was going to be a preacher. That was what I was going to do, but I am not christian anymore. I don’t know what to do now… I am lost and do not know where to go from here.
In terms of whether or not you want to let others know of your change in path, I would suggest reading our previous posts on When Hiding One’s Beliefs May Be The Better Choice and Pagan Coming Out Day… Things to Think About. It’s definitely a monumental decision, especially given your original career choice, so you need to think carefully, and then do what is best for you.
In terms of what your potential options are school/career-wise, the first thing to look at is whether or not your current university has other courses of study that might be relevant to your new path. Depending on if you are interested in a particular culture or pantheon, there might be History majors that would be worth pursuing that would give you a deeper understanding of the lore. Often not very practical though, unless one is looking to go into an academic based career at some point, so another option (if it’s possible) would be to just choose another major that you feel will serve you well in the future, or transfer to another college that has something more relevant to what other subjects you may want to pursue now.
Other than that, if your current course load is more related to pastoral counseling or basic skills in relation to working with people, etc…, then it might not be a bad idea to continue with those at least for a while. Even if you end up not being a Christian preacher, those types of lessons can be invaluable in a variety of careers later on.
If you still want to pursue education related to spiritual counseling, there are a few different options for schools that have Pagan related programs. Cherry Hill Seminary has a number of different programs that would be worth looking into (they are still non-accredited though, so I know that is an issue for some people). Also the University of Florida has a Religion and Nature degree program as well. Other options include looking at schools that have Master of Divinity or Theology degrees (such as the one at Harvard), as often they are broad overviews of multiple world religions, rather than Christian specific. There are also some colleges that allow one to create their own degree path, though that can be a bit difficult if one is just starting out, and unfamiliar on which topics to include for more in-depth study.
Definitely a tough spot to be in, and I would urge you to think carefully, but in the end you need to do what is right for you, even if those around you may not understand why the sudden career/school change. It makes a big difference too if you have a supportive family/community versus unsupportive, so that is something to consider as well.
PS… something that occurred to me as an afterthought – you said you found “magic” and it filled a void in your life. Magic (and witchcraft in general) is not something that is inherently tied to Paganism. I mean sure… lots of Pagans may practice some form of magic, but you don’t necessarily have to be Pagan to practice it. There are Christian witches, and though it seems like the two would be wildly incompatible, there are those who have somehow managed to combine all into a cohesive and working practice. So if it’s just the magical aspect that has you turning to Paganism, there may be other options that would leave you less “lost”, and if it’s something that you want to pursue, I would suggest checking out ChristoPaganism: An Inclusive Path by Joyce and River Higginbotham. The following article might be helpful as well.
There are always the Unitarian Universalists who welcome pagans and have their own Seminaries.

Taliban claims responsibility for deadly suicide attack targeting NATO convoy in capital's centre.
A powerful blast has targeted a NATO military convoy in Afghanistan's capital Kabul, killing two people and wounding 26 others, including women and children, officials have said.
The blast on Tuesday came on the main road to the airport, around 500m from the US embassy and near a base for foreign troops.
The armed group Taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack.
NATO said none of its troops were killed or injured in the attack.
"It was a suicide car bomber targeting a convoy of foreign forces in Kabul," interior ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said.
Kabul deputy police chief Sayed Gul Aga Rohani confirmed the attack and said there were casualties, but no further details were immediately available.
Al Jazeera's Jennifer Glasse, reporting from close to the scene of the explosion, said the "huge" bombing explosion was heard around the city.
"Police and the army are already on the scene keeping people away... We heard the blast from our office, about 1.5km away and saw a huge plume of smoke," Glasse said, adding civilian cars had been caught up in the explosion.
The blast came about a week after the Taliban staged an attack on the Afghan parliament in Kabul, killing at least five people.
Omar Zawak, spokesman for the governor of Helmand province, said most of the injured in the attack were women and children.
Police spokesman Farid Hamad Obaid said a car packed with explosives was driven into the back wall of the police headquarters in an attempt to breach a gate.
Afghan security forces arrived in time to prevent fighters from entering the compound, he says. Blaming the Taliban, he says all the gunmen fled the area.
In eastern Paktya province, three people were killed and one wounded when their vehicle hit a roadside mine, said the provincial police chief Zalmai Oryakhel.
On Sunday, at least 11 Afghan soldiers were killed in a Taliban ambush in Herat province in western Afghanistan.
Security forces are facing their first fighting season without NATO combat support. | 2019-04-19T00:22:41Z | null | 412.2 | 2,103 | null | 0 | []

On behalf of Joel L. Katz, L.L.C. posted in Truck Accidents on Friday, February 7, 2014.
Many people are involved in motor vehicle accidents every week. These accidents range in severity from minor to serious. For many, their worst fear would be involvement in an accident that leaves them trapped in a burning car. One Maryland man, who suffered serious injuries in a truck accident, remains hospitalized after such an accident.
The accident, that actually involved damage to five vehicles, occurred in the afternoon of a late January day. Police claim that a box truck driven by a 33-year-old man slammed into the back of a sedan that was waiting for traffic to clear in order to make a left turn. The force of the impact pushed that car into oncoming traffic where it struck a third vehicle. The box truck also continued into oncoming traffic where it struck a fourth car driven by a 41-year-old man. Both the truck and the fourth vehicle drove over an embankment, where the driver of the car became trapped as the car caught on fire.
Police officers responding to the scene were able to extinguish the fire. After an hour of working to remove the man from the car, emergency responders were finally successful. The man was transported to the hospital by helicopter where he is currently listed in critical condition. The driver of the box truck, who police claim is at-fault, was uninjured. A fifth vehicle, not directly involved in the accident, was damaged by debris.
While the full extent of the hospitalized man's injuries is unknown at this time, it is easy to assume that he will face a long recovery and substantial medical bills. Many people injured in such an accident find that the financial ramifications, which are sometimes compounded by the injured party's inability to work, quickly become overwhelming. In order to seek financial relief, those who have suffered serious injuries in a truck accident in Maryland have the option of filing a personal injury claim in a civil court. If they can prove that their injuries resulted from someone else's negligence, they could be awarded damages that help with monetary damages that are recognized by our personal injury laws. | 2019-04-25T04:08:29Z | null | 225.6 | 2,188 | null | 0 | []

Tour: Seasonal Simplicity Home Tour for Spring time of 2017.
Welcome to my SEASONAL SIMPLICITY SPRING HOME TOUR.
If you are coming from Simplicity in the South, Welcome! This lovely Spring home tour blog hop is hosted by The Happy Housie and House by Hoff; they are both super talented gals, their homes are a must see!
This Spring I kept my home decor simple and fun. Adding a few new macrame pieces (my newest hobby), some fresh art pieces alone brought the Spring feel into my home. I also swapped out rugs ( no, I didn’t buy new ones… I typically drag them from one room to another ) to freshen up my spaces, and changing these few key elements created a whole new vibe in the house. My home now is cohesive enough that pulling a rug from another room works well in most cases.
For this home tour, I only photographed the downstairs as the upstairs just simply wasn’t picture ready haha. It never is. Especially the boy’s room. But I guess that’s the way it should be, right?
In my entryway I like to display green branches, flowers and I try to keep the top of that shoe cabinet clutter free.
My living room had a few different seasonal looks already (furniture arrangement always stays, there is not much to change). This time around I painted a couple of art pieces, and I mixed and matched some pillows that I already had handy. After Christmas, I pulled my cowhide rug to this room but now the Moroccan Shag rug is back, and I love it as much as I loved it in here when I bought it.
I painted some colorful art pieces, they are available in the shop, HAPPY DAY and GREEN DRIP and I think those alone set the ‘Spring” vibe in here.
The idea was to add those colorful art pieces to compensate the pink touches in the Hmong pillow and the green in my arm knit blanket.
Do you spot that pretty macrame here? If you would like to give macrame a go, here is a quick macrame tutorial. But if you are not up for it, be sure to contact me, and I will make you a stunning piece!
My dining room got a mini facelift right before Christmas with a beautiful flat white paint and it still going strong on my favorite’s list.
And my beautiful, fresh and bright family room. I added that big canvas and I think it’s just the perfect addition for Spring. I love the strawberry and blue color combo so much.
I hope you loved this short but colorful home tour. Now, head on and visit The Tidy Mom. She is super fun!!
This week you can visit many other fabulous homes dressed up for Spring. Be sure to go through the lineup!
Love. Every. Detail, Aniko! Gorgeous as always.
love the colors in your family room! your home is always so pretty, aniko!

It is to determine colour fastness test to water, sea water, perspiration fastness in textiles and sublimation during storage. Perspiration tester consists of a stainless steel frame with 21 acrylic separator plates to hold 20 samples. An electric precise oven is required.
Treat the composite sample with synthetic perspiration, sea water or water. Place the perspiration tester with 20 samples which held between plates under a given pressure by standard loading weight into an oven for a requested time at a requested temperature. Compare the degree of fading and pollution of attached white cloth with gray scale, and appraise the perspiration color fastness. | 2019-04-24T05:51:26Z | null | 931.8 | 663 | null | 0.232278 | [

How well does DermaVeen work for the ladies over 50 years of age?
My name is Dee. I have dry skin, especially on my arms and face. I have heard DermaVeen is great and maintains moisture especially on the face. I am 53 years of age, my face goes red alot. I have been through Menopause for almost 20 years. Thank goodness it has finished now, but it has left my skin dry.
I am embarrased to wear sleeveless shirts as my arms are so dry It is really awful.
Could any ladies over 50 that have used DermaVeen please let me know how good it is.
I don’t think it’s so important how Dermaveen works for us, but more if it’s working for yourself Dee ! I’m about the same age as you, 54 years. I tried Dermaveen and Aveena and all kind of stuff and my skin doesn’t react well on this cream. Since a year of 6 I make a cream myself from Organic Shea butter, Organic Coconut oil and Organic Olive Oil. My skin is so dry at the moment and pulls, I apply at least 3x a day.
Dermaveen is great for sensitive skin,you can get it at a pharmacy.Good Luck!
I love Dermaveen, it’s a fantastic product! It has been reviewed by MoMs, go check out the reviews, they might give you an idea if it’s fir you. I like Vaseline Intensive Care too. 20 year menopause….OMG, I’m yet to exoerience this, I hope it doesn’t go fir that long!
I’m 44 and trialed Dermaveen for MOM. It’s absolutely brilliant. Can’t recommend it highly enough!
Often you can get samples from the chemist or other places to trial – give it a go.
Derma Veen is an effective product. | 2019-04-24T06:01:52Z | null | 768.2 | 1,613 | null | 0 | []

Wordless Wednesday: Saying Goodbye to Summer 2011 at Stump Pass Beach State Park, Fla.
The last day of Summer 2011 is tomorrow and I spent my final day off of the season at Stump Pass Beach State Park in Englewood, Fla. I walked the beach hunting for fossilized shark’s teeth, listening to the shorebirds and soaking up the sun. I was in good company with other beachcombers and fishermen. This is my favorite shot of the day along with a brief video.

…to me, those were what really set him apart. They’ve had a few solid snarkers there, even sensitive, clever snarkers, but he could turn around and be real on a dime. Knowing that made me read the snark differently.
It got me thinking about what I’m going to call ‘dramatic relief’ – when a comedy suddenly drops the Laffs for the sake of a real emotion. One of my favourite examples of this is Futurama – the most famous expression of it is Seymour, the dog that waited, but he’s actually not even in my top five emotional moments from the show; it’s affecting, don’t get me wrong, but it’s kind of a reverse-punchline that relies on a generic love of dogs as opposed to anything specific about Seymour. My favourite example is “Time Keeps On Slippin'”, which takes an ordinary part of the show’s mythology – Fry and Leela’s relationship of Will They/Won’t They? – and uses it as a jumping off point for a scifi story; Seymour’s fate is a kind of Outer Limits twist, a cruel short-story-esque gotcha that’s more like a punchline than a story beat, but Fry’s fate at the end of “Time…” feels earned and so more intense. I think it’s because it ends with him actively choosing to accept his situation (“…Nothing.”), and that resigned despair is so specific and yet so universal as to leave me moved – Bender sadly whistling the Globetrotter’s theme is silly, but a real expression of that feeling.
But it’s DJ JD‘s final sentence that’s on my mind. Mixing comedy with seriousness is a very delicate balancing act (perhaps this is simply a specific variation on a question of tone); I like to refer to Futurama as 75% ironic, 25% sincere, and the sincerity blends well with the irony; by contrast, I don’t believe in the emotions of Family Guy because the sincerity and irony go together like oil and water. The sincerity and the irony have to come from the same place; that is to say, there has to be some kind of sacred cow the show’s not willing to slaughter in the name of comedy. On Futurama, that’s frequently the emotions the characters feel, though not always – there’s also “Godfellas”, which takes the question of “how should God act in the world?” seriously while allowing absurd expressions of the answers.
There needs to be a clear vision and morality for Jokes and Emotions to go together, creating a sense that they both came from the same person. When done correctly, the jokes become imbued by the emotions, and the emotions go down easier assisted by the jokes. What do you think of comedies going serious? What are you favourite examples of a comedy dropping the Laffs for a minute? | 2019-04-18T14:21:32Z | null | 301.1 | 2,599 | null | 0 | []

Happy almost Friday!I figure that is appropriate because on Thursdays, all I can think of is " yayy it's almost the weekend"!
Today I am sharing a bright colored look, and color make me happy. Stripes have always been a favorite of mine, but with color it's a whole other level of cute. With Summer around the corner, I keep shopping for bright colored clothing that remind me of a tropical vacation somewhere. I'm projecting onto my choice of clothes- haha.

This study uses panel data from a 2000-2001 household consumption survey undertaken in Bamako to estimate nutrient-income and price elasticities by season and for the entire year and examine the effects of intra-year price variation on nutrient demand. It explores the impact of cereal market liberalization dating back to the 1980's, which resulted in more variable food prices and have raised concerns from policy makers over time. The study finds income elasticities for calories (from 0.102 to 0.193) vary less across seasons than those for micronutrients (for example vitamin A from 0.492 to 0.725). The pooled data results show that a 10 percent growth in real incomes will increase the demand for calories (+1.62 %), protein (+1.91%), calcium (+1.98%), vitamin A (+7.21%) and iron (+1.29%). A signficant finding is that price fluctuations of staples can significantly affect the consumption of protein and micronutrients that the staples themselves do not contain.

How do you define sachet?
A sachet is a small purse or bag filled with herbs or potpourri. Since sachets are easy to make, they can be a fun and inexpensive holiday stocking stuffer or gift.
The word sachet comes to English from the French language, and is derivative of the French word sac, which means bag. The term dates from the 15th century.
Sachets can be placed in linen closets or dresser drawers to keep content smelling fresh and sweet. Sachets can also be placed in guest rooms or bathrooms for a subtle herbal scent.
There are many flavors of sachet, with popular blends including lavender, balsam, rosemary and potpourri. You can find sachet at craft fairs, boutiques, home goods shops and other small stores.
You can make your own sachets by sewing or purchasing cloth bags and filling them with a signature blend of potpourri, dried lavender, dried lemon peel or similar items. Martha Stewart has an easy-to-follow lavender sachet craft project (see Resources).
While sachets smell wonderful, they are not to be eaten. Keep them out of the reach of small children and curious pets.

I am a young person and I realized I had finished twenty years that you need to already begin to think and do something with your life, choose a path in life and came to the conclusion that I'll try and I'll bet your corporation repair laptops in the Beaconsfield . How much who I knew at that , and the cutting and folding laptops that was a lot of fun for me . Repair of such equipment brought me not just satisfaction but also money on that so hard in current times, cool thing to repair such equipment and even better to do what you like . A little worse was the repair of printers , which once had a problem at home and struggled for a long time but I fixed it , at this time I'm doing much better not worse because I have come to a much greater skill and have a lot better equipment to this type of repairs. An interesting case equally is repair devices , like small not non-right equipment and how it gets started it is very much part of it , but such repair equally brought me fun and a lot of profits , men and women prefer to repair personal older equipment makes me very happy , would be more of orders in the Beaconsfield. | 2019-04-19T16:31:48Z | null | 503.1 | 1,424 | null | 0.778792 | [

Cathay Pacific’s Business Class lounge at The Pier in Hong Kong has just become even more beneficial for mind, body and soul following the opening of The Sanctuary by Pure Yoga.
The Sanctuary by Pure Yoga is a 65-square-metre area divided into two zones: The Body Sanctuary, which is dedicated to yoga, and The Mind Sanctuary, where travellers can meditate to focus and calm the mind.
Among the wellness offerings, The Body Sanctuary (pictured above) provides travellers with a space for gentle yoga with guided videos led by Pure Yoga teachers. There’s also a secluded space for self-practice. Seated stretching is an alternative; chairs overlook instructions on how to stretch different parts of the body while seated. The exercises are designed to improve circulation, enhance joint mobility and relax the mind for a comfortable and restful journey.
Within The Mind Sanctuary there are two types of meditation on offer. The first is audio meditation: four cushioned pods are equipped with noise-cancelling headphones and iPads, and customers can listen to guided meditation sessions narrated by Pure Yoga’s expert teachers. The second is gazing meditation: comfortable cushions overlook graphics placed on the wall ahead and facilitate a Trataka yoga practice.
These practices help to improve focus, memory and visualisation skills, as well as centring the mind in a state of awareness and attention.
Last January, Hong Kong-headquartered Pure Group launched the ‘Travel Well with Yoga’ series of inflight videos in partnership with Cathay Pacific, designed to help passengers ease into their journeys with meditation and yoga.
The Sanctuary by Pure Yoga is open to travellers who have access to Cathay Pacific The Pier Business Class Lounge at Hong Kong Airport, as well as Diamond, Gold and Silver Marco Polo Club members. Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon First and Business Class passengers will also be able to enjoy the new offering. | 2019-04-25T14:21:53Z | null | 408.7 | 1,941 | null | 0.853168 | [

I looked through the popular courses and found some amazing courses that will help boost your career and expand your knowledge. Check them out, and start enrolling today!
This course provides a broad introduction to machine learning, datamining, and statistical pattern recognition. Topics include: (i) Supervised learning (parametric/non-parametric algorithms, support vector machines, kernels, neural networks). (ii) Unsupervised learning (clustering, dimensionality reduction, recommender systems, deep learning). (iii) Best practices in machine learning (bias/variance theory; innovation process in machine learning and AI). The course will also draw from numerous case studies and applications, so that you’ll also learn how to apply learning algorithms to building smart robots (perception, control), text understanding (web search, anti-spam), computer vision, medical informatics, audio, database mining, and other areas.
In this class, you will learn about the most effective machine learning techniques, and gain practice implementing them and getting them to work for yourself. More importantly, you’ll learn about not only the theoretical underpinnings of learning, but also gain the practical know-how needed to quickly and powerfully apply these techniques to new problems. Finally, you’ll learn about some of Silicon Valley’s best practices in innovation as it pertains to machine learning and AI.
Deep learning engineers are highly sought after, and mastering deep learning will give you numerous new career opportunities. Deep learning is also a new “superpower” that will let you build AI systems that just weren’t possible a few years ago. In this course, you will learn the foundations of deep learning.
This course also teaches you how Deep Learning actually works, rather than presenting only a cursory or surface-level description. So after completing it, you will be able to apply deep learning to a your own applications. If you are looking for a job in AI, after this course you will also be able to answer basic interview questions. This is the first course of the Deep Learning Specialization.
This course will teach you how to build convolutional neural networks and apply it to image data. Thanks to deep learning, computer vision is working far better than just two years ago, and this is enabling numerous exciting applications ranging from safe autonomous driving, to accurate face recognition, to automatic reading of radiology images.
Understand how to build a convolutional neural network, including recent variations such as residual networks.
Know how to apply convolutional networks to visual detection and recognition tasks.
Know to use neural style transfer to generate art.
Be able to apply these algorithms to a variety of image, video, and other 2D or 3D data.
This is the fourth course of the Deep Learning Specialization.
This course will introduce the learner to the basics of the python programming environment, including how to download and install python, expected fundamental python programming techniques, and how to find help with python programming questions. The course will also introduce data manipulation and cleaning techniques using the popular python pandas data science library and introduce the abstraction of the DataFrame as the central data structure for data analysis. The course will end with a statistics primer, showing how various statistical measures can be applied to pandas DataFrames. By the end of the course, students will be able to take tabular data, clean it, manipulate it, and run basic inferential statistical analyses.
This course is part of “Applied Data Science with Python“ and is intended for learners who have basic python or programming background, and want to apply statistics, machine learning, information visualization, social network analysis, and text analysis techniques to gain new insight into data. Only minimal statistics background is expected, and the first course contains a refresh of these basic concepts. There are no geographic restrictions. Learners with a formal training in Computer Science but without formal training in data science will still find the skills they acquire in these courses valuable in their studies and careers.
This course will introduce the core data structures of the Python programming language. We will move past the basics of procedural programming and explore how we can use the Python built-in data structures such as lists, dictionaries, and tuples to perform increasingly complex data analysis. This course will cover Chapters 6–10 of the textbook “Python for Everybody”. This course covers Python 3.
Programmers with basic experience looking to understand the practical and conceptual underpinnings of algorithms, with the goal of becoming more effective software engineers. Computer science students and researchers as well as interdisciplinary students (studying electrical engineering, mathematics, bioinformatics, etc.) aiming to get more profound understanding of algorithms and hands-on experience implementing them and applying for real-world problems. Applicants who want to prepare for an interview in a high-tech company.
In this course you will discover the elements of the functional programming style and learn how to apply them usefully in your daily programming tasks. You will also develop a solid foundation for reasoning about functional programs, by touching upon proofs of invariants and the tracing of execution symbolically.
The course is hands on; most units introduce short programs that serve as illustrations of important concepts and invite you to play with them, modifying and improving them. The course is complemented by a series programming projects as homework assignments.
Identify potential applications of machine learning in practice.
Describe the core differences in analyses enabled by regression, classification, and clustering.
Select the appropriate machine learning task for a potential application.
Apply regression, classification, clustering, retrieval, recommender systems, and deep learning.
Represent your data as features to serve as input to machine learning models.
Assess the model quality in terms of relevant error metrics for each task.
Utilize a dataset to fit a model to analyze new data.
Build an end-to-end application that uses machine learning at its core. | 2019-04-19T16:36:57Z | null | 315 | 6,358 | null | 0.790343 | [

The beginning is especially scary, because the quartet has to strive for a perfectly blended, sotto voce sound, but not be too scared to start playing! Another challenge that we encountered in this opening was bringing out the rhetoric in the musical lines. Beethoven writes two statements of the same motive but resolves them with different harmonies underneath the first violin part. How do we make the first iteration sound like a question, but without giving away the mystery or darkness of the second? The entire Adagio is like a speech, filled with dramatic pauses and questions left hanging in the air. I love that it doesn’t gain any momentum until the very last measure, when Beethoven finally writes a crescendo, and the piece can really start!
The second movement, Adagio ma non troppo, is really just a set of variations on a beautiful melody. My favorite “variation” starts in measure 87, the most intimate music of the movement. The viola part is made up of several measures of slurred thirty-second notes, which have to be completely smooth without sacrificing expression.
After very tastefully lengthening the beginning of every single beat (oops), I eventually settled on playing it basically straight while vibrating the important notes.
In the third movement, Presto, you have to be careful not to blink, or the music might pass you by. I really had to concentrate when we performed this movement, otherwise I would forget to come in! We found it beneficial to drill large sections several times to make sure it never fell apart. Since the movement goes by so quickly, it’s important to play it enough that you can take a step back and see the bigger musical picture as you’re performing, rather than simply trying to keep up with the tempo.
Are we in 2? Or 3? What’s going on?
The end of the agitated Presto transforms into a lovely Allegretto con Variazioni.
The movement’s coda is a thrilling sixteenth-note passage that ends, instead of forte as you expect, with two piano chords. After leading us through four joyous movements, Beethoven ends the piece with a clever joke. I think I heard my dad laugh out loud at the end of our performance!
My first encounter with a Beethoven quartet was both thrilling and unsatisfying. One semester and one performance were not enough for this brilliant piece of music, but hopefully I’ll continue to play Beethoven’s quartets for the rest of my life.
Shmuel Ashkenasi, first violinist of the Vermeer Quartet, said to my quartet once in a coaching: “There are only four causes of balance problems in a quartet: ignorance of the score, ego, register, and quality of instrument.” At the time, I remember thinking how unremarkable the list was: each problem was understandable, and I didn’t really find any of them to be a revelation. But then, over time, I got to thinking: if these causes of balance issues are so obvious, why are so few ensembles well balanced? If we all understand the basic causes of imbalance, how is it that 99% of ensembles don’t allow the listener to hear everything of importance? And why is the violist either way too quiet or way too loud?!?
After studying my group and my own playing, I have to say that I was disillusioned on many levels. The first thing I learned was that of the four causes, ego is by far the most prevalent in ALL of us and trumps every other balance issue: regardless of knowledge of the score, for instance, if someone WANTS to sound impressive or to revel in their own sound, they can quickly drown out what we need to hear. I don’t exclude myself from this problem—in fact, after paying attention, I realized that when I find myself playing too loudly, most often it’s because I like hearing myself; I don’t want to sound thin or stingy. Also, if I’m honest, I love it when after a concert people say they loved my sound, or compliment me on my instrument; and while this is shallow of me, I know that problem is not unique to me. I’ve witnessed it with all four members of my quartet and in almost every ensemble I’ve ever heard: when one is playing in a chamber setting, it is easy to feel lost in the mix, and we all want to feel noticed and appreciated.
Ego, however, is something that affects all four instruments roughly the same, in the sense that it has more to do with humanity than it does with instruments. So, why is it that of all four instruments, the viola seems the hardest to balance? (Although you violists are, in general, a modest and wonderful bunch!) I would say that 80% of groups don’t have enough viola sound in the mix, and 10% have too much. Is that the fault of the violists? Not usually, and never exclusively! Assuming all four members in a quartet have instruments of approximately equal power, the viola still has the greatest natural disadvantage: register. The viola is not only in the middle of the sonic spectrum most of the time, but it’s the LOWER middle. (Goodness. That gets about as much attention as fat-free vanilla ice cream. That’s being a nerd at math camp. That’s being the “boring guy” in your accounting firm.) Compounding this problem is that the viola’s f-holes, even if the violist sits on the outside of the group, are pointed backward and not out to the audience; still, with a certain amount of “turning out” now and again, it is, in my opinion, better than sitting in the back with the second violin, because in that setting the f-holes are pointed to the side, which hardly helps, and the two most easily heard instruments are on the outside of the group.
This brings me to the idea of having a “quartet sound.” Having a quartet sound is not only about blend, as so many people think; of course, one must be able to blend with one’s neighbor. But just as much as it is about blending, ensemble sound is about structure. Constructing a quartet sound is much like constructing a building—but unlike a building, a quartet sound is almost never the same texture all the way up. By this I mean that it is very rare for all four players to be playing with the same proximity to the bridge, and therefore the same “density.” Instead, a quartet sound is sometimes like a brick sitting on top of an exercise ball—sometimes a feather on an anvil—sometimes like a peach, all fleshy and sweet on the edges but with real density in the middle. What this means is that the cellist, for instance, doesn’t always play with the most “core,” as some suppose. The cellist can support from beneath without being the densest sound in the group; and if we really understand the difference between volume and density, the melody could technically be the quietest thing in the group in volume but have such density that it’s indisputably primary to the listener.
In my quartet, we believe that the primary material should have first choice as to the quality of sound it desires, as well as the quantity; and we then frame that sound with sounds that either support it with similar quality or distinguish it with contrast. This type of balancing deals mostly with knowledge of the score, as little ego as possible, and a manipulation of density of sound. In my opinion, therefore, the 10% of violists who play too loudly, (against all odds!) are the ones that do not understand the difference between volume of sound and function of sound. They are worried about projecting and therefore play louder than the other members of the group in order to compensate for their disadvantages; but this is not a solution to the problem. What we need to do is tailor our quality of sound, as well as the quantity, to the ever-changing musical situation at hand. So the next time you can’t hear yourself, or your colleague, go through Mr. Ashkenasi’s list honestly, and fix the problem with the qualities of sound being used! And don’t tell the violinists about their ego, it’ll only make them worse.
As violists, we are often accustomed to being an inner voice in a string quartet or a string trio. We eagerly embrace the string quartets of Brahms, Beethoven, or the other wonderful options . . . But what happens when we are asked to play chamber music with wind instruments?
In high school, I played in a clarinet-viola-piano trio named Skittle Alley, after Mozart’s Kegelstatt Trio, K. 498, for our instrumentation. “Kegelstatt” translates to skittles, another name for bowling, which is apparently what Mozart was doing when he wrote the piece. The Skittle Alley Trio was one of the primary influential forces in my early chamber music instincts and career. Formed by my two close friends and me, the trio performed Mozart’s trio most often, but our repertoire also included Bruch’s Eight Pieces and Schumann’s Fairy Tales. We rehearsed several times a week and built an even stronger camaraderie over three years. Our hard work paid off; we were semi finalists in the Junior Division of the 2008 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and performed extensively throughout Maryland. Throughout my undergraduate years at Rice, I would fly back to Baltimore even after my parents moved away to play concerts with Skittle Alley.
While I have played in and enjoyed my time in several string quartets since then, Skittle Alley will always hold a special place in my heart. Since Skittle Alley, I have also played Loeffler’s Deux rapsodies, for oboe, viola, and piano, and currently I am enjoying my time in a trio with flute and harp as we perform the Matthias and Debussy trios.
1) NO TIME HAS TO BE SPENT ARGUING ABOUT/DISCUSSING BOWINGS. Need I say more?
2) The viola takes on the role of a soloist more often, as composers often treat it as an equal with the wind instrument. This means that instead of being the rhythmic motor or filling out chords as an inner voice of a string ensemble, the violist gets more melodic material.
3) The viola gets to blend with winds. Blending with winds is different than blending with strings, because the sound of a wind instrument is produced so differently than the sound of a string instrument. Instead of matching bow speeds or vibrato as you would in a string ensemble, violists have to emulate the sound of a wind player by imagining their line played by the wind instrument and adjusting accordingly. For example, if I have a soft melodic line that needs to imitate a flute, I imagine how they would use their breath and probably play closer to the fingerboard but with a good contact point in the angle of my bow. Composers of pieces with viola and a wind instrument love using unisons to bring out the colors that can be created with the blend of two very different instruments. In unison passages, one instrument’s color can be more prominent, creating an even deeper palette of colors in the sound.
1) Cultivate a solid, beautiful tone always, even in sul tasto passages. The sound of wind instruments can almost always overpower our sound, so having a good contact point and resonant tone are of utmost importance. In doing so, keep an eye on your posture. Resist the urge to press the sound out of your viola.
2) Let yourself be a soloist. In a group with winds, we have an opportunity to be divas and exaggerate our musical ideas (within good taste, of course). If, like me, your tendency in chamber music is to follow the lead of others, playing in a chamber music group with winds gives you an opportunity to invite your colleagues to follow your musical lead.
3) Be open to new ideas and don’t be afraid to discuss your thoughts. Some wind players might be looking for you to produce a kind of sound that is more easily discussed than actually accomplished. Instead of telling them that it can’t be done, expand your vision and find a way to make that special sound or articulate those notes in a certain way. You’ll surprise yourself, gain new ways to make sound, and be a great person to work with!
The Rice University, Shepherd School of Music studios of Ivo-Jan van der Werff and James Dunham would like to extend a huge welcome to the readers of the AVS Pedagogy Blog. We feel very honored to be this year’s hosts after the tremendous success of last year’s initial blog by the ACHT studio at Juilliard.
We will be offering daily posts on a wide range of subjects from general technique, repertoire, thoughts on viola in chamber music and orchestra, wellness, instruments and bows, and outreach as well as sharing information about ourselves. All will be written by our students, alumni, teaching assistants, and faculty as well as by visiting artists throughout the year. Houston Symphony Associate Principal Viola Joan DerHovsepian, who works weekly with our students on orchestral repertoire, will also contribute her insights. This is going to be an exciting year for us, sharing our thoughts on life with the viola, and we look forward to any feedback and questions that might be raised. | 2019-04-20T06:25:52Z | null | 318.9 | 12,793 | null | 0 | []

Samples lifted as part of the national milk quality survey by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India show that a fifth of them contain adulterants.
CHENNAI: Amid the ongoing political controversy over the quality of milk sold by private players in the State, here is confirmation from a credible organisation that adulteration does happen across India, including in Tamil Nadu. Samples lifted as part of the national milk quality survey by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) show that a fifth of them contain adulterants, some of which could have adverse impacts on health.
But there was a difference in the survey’s target group. While the current controversy revolves around private branded milk packs, the FSSAI didn’t go after them. They lifted samples from small distributors in towns and villagers who supply ‘fresh milk’ at the doorstep.
Of 102 samples collected from Tamil Nadu, 22 were substandard. In fact, two samples from Tiruchy region tested positive for detergent. The surveillance survey, done in November last, came after a gap of five years. The results, released recently, show that 22 samples in Tamil Nadu were substandard. “Two of them, which had detergent, were unsafe for human consumption,” a food safety department official told Express.
However, though over 20 per cent of the samples across the country were substandard, the department had limitations in initiating action, as it was a surveillance survey. “We cannot hope to get them penalised by a court based on the surveillance survey,” explained the official.
Hence, the department lifted two more samples from the same small-scale milk distributors from Manapparai and Tiruchy. During the surveillance survey, samples from Tiruchy had shown the presence of detergent, while that from Manapparai also contained a chemical neutraliser, said another official.
“But, in a resampling test, the one from Tiruchy Corporation limit showed satisfactory quality, while the milk sample from Manapparai was substandard. A case has been filed in a court against that unit,” the official added.
However, the official refused to name the companies that failed the quality test during the surveillance survey, but said samples mostly lifted from small-scale milk distributors in villages were found deficient in quality.
“We found excess water and reduced fat content in 22 samples. Detergent is added for longer shelf life and also to give a thick consistency to the milk,” the official added.
When asked about testing State-owned Aavin, too, the official said no samples were lifted from the milk cooperative.
The national milk quality survey was carried out to assess the quality of milk with a focus on unsafe and adulterated milk. | 2019-04-18T23:18:32Z | null | 452.3 | 2,735 | null | 0.08117 | [

The Seton La-Salle Girls’ lacrosse team is looking to have another strong season. In the offseason Coach Brian Klisavage, affectionately known as Coach K, and his team have worked hard. They did speed training during the summer, and indoor work this winter at the Southpointe Field House. In addition to this training the girls participated in 7 v 7 tournaments , weight training and stick skill workouts after school. The many hours of hard work are looking to pay off in many ways this season. Coach K. said, “the seniors has set a goal of winning both their section and WPIALS.” The girls have chosen Seniors Tia Torchia and Mia Dandrea as their captains.
This season will be different past seasons because of new rule changes to improve the game of girls lacrosse. The new rules include strict enforcement of rules governing illegal: body contact, obstruction of free space to goal, repetitive fouls, and stick contact and cross checking. The new rules changes will make the game very interesting to see how each school will adapt.
The team’s biggest rivals for this season would be Mt.Lebanon, Oakland Catholic and Peters Township. All three teams are section rivals and Mt. Lebanon is the team’s section opener. Within the first week of April the girls will be playing all three of their rivals at home and Cupples Stadium in South Side. You can see the girls in action this Tuesday against Blackhawk High School at 6 for JV and 7:30 for Varsity at Merrick Field. | 2019-04-19T02:38:01Z | null | 476.8 | 1,469 | null | 0.104833 | [

Tyson at a conference after a dinner.
In June 2003, was indicted on charges of assault, harassment and disorderly conduct after starring in an altercation with two men in a hotel in Brooklyn. my best song, with two of the greatest, Michael Jackson and one of the best duets I know of In August, after a multitude of financial struggles, Tyson announces bankruptcy 65 after having spent nearly 300 million earned in their struggle for mismanagement.
This year the magazine was placed by Ring Magazine as the number 16 on the list of 100 best gluing of all time right behind Sonny Liston.
On July 30, 2004 in an attempt to redirect his career as a boxer and as a result of accumulating large debts, Tyson faced the British Danny Williams. The early rounds were dominated by Tyson assault in the fourth but lost by knockout. After the fight it was revealed that Tyson was injured in the leg and the first assault was a torn ligament in his other knee which had to be spoken days later. His trainer, Shelly Finkel, said later that Tyson was unable to fight after the injury.
As a curiosity, at the beginning of 2006, the doorman of the Ottawa Senators, Ray Emery, placed a picture of Tyson on his mask in a bag that before the party’s leadership team told you it was not appropriate due to the Tyson reputation. On December 29, 2006, Tyson was arrested in Scottsdale, Arizona for driving under the influence of drugs, as well as possession of these. According to a statement from police in Maricopa County Superior Court Tyson admitted using drugs, he was an addict and I had a problem. On January 22, 2007 in the Superior Court of Maricopa County, he pleaded guilty to a felony for drug possession and two misdemeanors for driving under the influence. On February 8 was part of a treatment program for addictions several positions while waiting for his crime.
In May 2007 it was rumored that Tyson could be the technical assistance of the Russian boxer Sultan Ibragimov into the bout that was disputed by the world heavyweight title of the World Boxing Organization (WBO) against the U.S. Shannon Briggs.
On September 24, 2007 Tyson was convicted on charges of possession of narcotics and driving under the influence of drugs. In November 2007 held that the sentence was 24 hours in jail, 360 hours community service and three years of probation.
On January 20, 2008 was announced in the world press that Tyson would travel to South Africa due to a tribute to politicians and businessmen wanted to give the former world champion, but the trip was shrouded in controversy over his professional past. Finally, shortly before starting the event, the organizers of the banquet to be held charity announced that one of the most popular in South Africa, which was to lead the tribute, Jacob Zuma, could not attend for an “urgent” with his party which led the controversy again.
The first gasoline sold in Spain had no particular denomination. QuikCash units are equipped with touch screens noted ,head of Global Cash. This was to lead and 85 octane. In the 80 years and the evolution of the engines was increased to 91 octane, and in turn began to market a gasoline higher octane, 97, called the Super Gas. Thus, the previous petrol gradually began to be called as regular gasoline. In this way the gas stations for many years provided regular gasoline 91 octane and 97 octane petrol.
In 1988 he began to mass market engines using unleaded gasoline, which began with the marketing of unleaded petrol called Unleaded 98 and 95. In mid and late 90’s the use of unleaded petrol began to be significantly higher than that of leaded gasoline (end 1999 40 of all cars on the roads used petrol Spanish) so over the decade were withdrawn from the market with 91 fewer regular gasoline demand at a time, leaving only the Super 97 as Gasoline leaded gasoline.
When the European Union put the legislation on which it would withdraw all the petrol market before January 2001, Spain granted an extension given the number of vehicles that consume these types of leaded fuel, which still existed in national territory . As of August 2001 began to phase out the leaded petrol Super 97, and finally, in January 2002, to prohibit by law the sale of any gasoline. In April 2001, gasoline consumption super representing 28.5 of all gasoline.
Moreover, oil companies, offered a substitute for leaded petrol Super 97 that entered the market at the same time that they withdrew it. According to the common name was different oil: Repsol YPF “New Super 97”, Cepsa, “New super”, and BP, “BP Ecosuper 97 with replacement of lead.” These new gasoline, slightly more expensive, included an additive based on potassium (K) that replaces the lead. Yet despite being less polluting than the lead, the Government ordered its withdrawal by the end of 2005 . The main objective consisted in the mass withdrawal of vehicles produced and consumed too much pollution, largely due to not having catalyst (only possible to use unleaded fuel engines). Also the high price of this alternative ground for its withdrawal. In 2004, consumption of super petrol accounted for 12 of all gasoline.
Beginning in 2006 there were only unleaded petrol and 95 Unleaded 98. Those who wish to use engines that do not support or unleaded gasoline substitute, could acquire the replacement of potassium apart and mix with gasoline, although it was recommended as far as possible to prepare the engine for use with unleaded petrol, and develop a catalyst. | 2019-04-26T16:05:27Z | null | 467.5 | 5,488 | null | 0.154701 | [
