AgForce is fighting for Queensland growers, following news that fertiliser giant Incitec Pivot will shut its Gibson Island manufacturing operations next year.
The announcement comes as a further blow to the state’s grain producers as they gear up for a promising summer cropping season.
With fertiliser prices already on the rise due to international shipping disruptions, shipping container shortages, industrial disputes, and geopolitical manoeuvring, the closure of the Brisbane plant (blamed on LNG supply issues) puts a further strain on resources.
It also goes against the desire of Queensland growers who have for a long time now called for more secure sources of locally produced inputs for our farming systems.
AgForce’s Grains President Brendan Taylor said while a short-term fix to the situation was “nigh on impossible”, he was aware of the issues facing growers and would continue to “fight the good fight”.
“We have received unseasonal November rainfall, the most that I can remember for some time, and this would normally set us up for a great summer cropping program,” he said.
“However, due to the extreme prices of fertiliser and crop protection products, growers are really having to consider their options of what crop to grow this summer and the next winter as well.
“To see a plant right on our doorstep close is extremely disappointing, particularly because it is at times of high international pricing that the importance of local manufacturing really comes to the fore.
“The elephant in the room is that the clean, green, sustainable produce that we are so proud of producing here in Queensland is so reliant on imported inputs on an often volatile world market.”
AgForce is working very closely with the National Farmers’ Federation to influence onshore issues affecting our fertiliser supply and is partnering with other industry sectors to develop innovative solutions for the grain producers of Queensland.
We are also calling on both the State and Federal Governments to not lose sight of where Australia’s food and fibre comes from, and what we need to grow it.
Growers are encouraged to take this opportunity to carry out detailed soil tests and understand what inputs they truly need in order to harness this exciting summer that looks to be coming in wet - for the first time in many years.

Speaking on the 78th anniversary of Vietnam's National Day (September 2), State President Vo Van Thuong highlighted the role of unity in building the nation and defending sovereignty.
"One of the most brilliant golden chapters in the history of the Vietnamese people is the triumph of the August Revolution in 1945, which confirmed the great strength of national unity, marked a significant turning point, and propelled the Vietnamese people forward," President Vo Van Thuong said at the ceremony commemorating the Independence Day (September 2, 1945-2023).
The ceremony was attended by senior officials, foreign representatives, and heads of missions.
The President said that the Vietnamese people have persevered through numerous extraordinarily bloody and protracted battles, making millions of sacrifices to free their country, unify it, build, and defend the Fatherland in the spirit that "nothing is more precious than independence and freedom."
Vietnam's foreign policy has always been steadfast in independence, self-reliance, diversification, multilateralization, and being a friend, a reliable partner, and a responsible member of the international community.
Vietnam has effectively fulfilled many obligations at multilateral forums, worked together to realize development objectives, defended human rights, and actively contributed to maintaining international peace. Vietnam has received love, encouragement, successful collaboration, and sincere assistance from friends around the world at every stage of its development, the President said.
"I believe that ambassadors, charge d'affaires, and chief representatives of international organizations will continue to serve as bridges and bearers of goodwill, sincerity and trust, making practical contributions to solid cooperative ties between Vietnam and international partners," President Thuong emphasized.
Speaking at the event on behalf of heads of missions, Palestinian Ambassador to Vietnam Saadi Salama, who is also dean of the diplomatic corps, expressed his impressions on the achievements that Vietnam has made over the past time to maintain its rapid development to be among the top fastest-growing economies.
The results have listed Vietnam as the 32nd among 100 strong nation brands. In 2023, the country moved up 12 notches in the United Nations' Global Happiness Index.

My last trip to Deseret Industries was such a success that I have to share another budget friendly Christmas decor piece that I made using some of the items I purchased. I am so thrilled with how this one turned out, I just may have to make more. Because I had the paint and ribbon on hand, I only paid $4.50 to make this.
At DI I found this frame($3) and these ornaments ($1.50) which I knew would be perfect for a wreath I saw on etsy recently. Other than the frame and ornaments, you will need:
Paint (acrylic or spray paint)
Glossy finish spray paint (optional)
Ribbon-about 3 yards of 2 1/2″ wide for bow. Then a couple yards 1/4 ” wide for hanging ornaments (you could also use hemp, yarn, string etc)
Glue gun and gluesticks
First paint the frame. Normally I would spray paint it but since I wanted turquoise, and spray paint colors are very limited, I went with acrylics. Plus I really wanted to do with what I had, rather than buy more supplies. I was excited to find a color that matched the ornaments I found.
After painting the frame I sprayed it with a glossy finishing coat to give it a little shine.
While that’s drying you can work on your bow. I made up my own way of doing it but it was very similar to this one here. Mine isn’t as full, this burlap ribbon I used is pretty thick and wouldn’t let me spread it out as much.
Then take the 1/4 inch ribbon and string it through the ornaments. I hot glued the tail of the ribbon to the back.
Then hot glue the ribbons in place wherever or however you choose. I chose to do 3 ornaments but you can do as many as you want. I’ve heard that using odd numbers usually looks best.
I tied my bow on with a smaller red ribbon I had. You could also hot glue or wire it on as well. Now you are done and you can find a lovely place to put it in your home or even on your front door.
Enjoy this low cost, easy decor piece. These would be wonderful, budget friendly gifts as well!

The Resorts Companies, Inc., located in Charlottesville, VA, announced that it is now a 100% employee-owned company. The final shares of the company, previously owned by company founders Dice Hammer and the heirs of Jim Lambert, have now been purchased by the company’s Employee Stock Ownership Program (ESOP) trust. The Resorts Companies owns and operates Great Eastern Resort Corporation, the developer of Massanutten Resort, a four season resort located outside of Harrisonburg, VA, and Recreational Resorts, Ltd., the developer of Wilderness Presidential Resort located in Spotsylvania, VA.
Steve Krohn, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, noted, “This is a momentous event for our company and our communities, and everyone should be proud of the accomplishment. The company founders created our ESOP in 1993. That the complete buyout took over 20 years to come to fruition is a testament to their long-term vision. This transition is also a credit to all the hard work and success of our employees.” Because the ESOP program has been in place many years, taking this final step, while significant to employees, will not result in any noticeable change in the resorts. “Our focus continues to be on guest satisfaction and our company’s long term success. Mr. Hammer remains President, and he and Jimmy Lambert, son of Jim Lambert, continue to serve actively on our board of directors,” said Krohn.
The Resorts Companies relies upon over 1,900 employees to operate 365 days a year. Including retirees and former employees, over 3,000 people currently participate in the ESOP program.

The resorts feature a snow sports area, one of the largest indoor/outdoor Waterparks on the East Coast, two golf courses, a spa, multiple zip line/ropes courses, fishing lakes, recreational centers, and many other activities.

Tom Brady, model Gisele Bündchen’s ex-husband and dubbed one of the most gorgeous and successful athletes, is dating someone new.
Tom Brady, the football legend and former husband of supermodel Gisele Bündchen, has made headlines with his rumored new romance. In this article, we’ll delve into the details of Brady’s love life and introduce you to the mysterious woman who has captured his heart.
The End of an Era
Brady and Bündchen were a well-liked celebrity couple, and their divorce surprised many of their fans because their marriage appeared picture-perfect. Unfortunately, after two children and 13 years of marriage, they chose to divorce.
Brady was spotted flirting with model Irina Shayk, according to Page Six, after being linked to Kim Kardashian and Reese Witherspoon. The two are reportedly dating, according to the magazine.
Irina Shayk: A Familiar Face
Irina previously dated Cristiano Ronaldo and has a daughter with actor Bradley Cooper. Brady, on the other hand, has three children: 13-year-old Benjamin and 10-year-old Vivian, whom he shares with Bündchen and an older son with I Robot actress Bridget Moynahan.
A History of Sacrifice
Before he began dating the Brazilian model, the two dated for two years, from 2004 to 2006. “Certainly, a lot of people make sacrifices for their family, and I’m dealing with a specific situation, a very joyous, happy situation,” Tom commented when he found out Moynahan was pregnant while he was already dating Bündchen. “And some people have dealt with death in the past, and that’s incredibly difficult.”
Debunking the Rumors
When allegations surfaced that the seven-time Super Bowl champion dated Kardashian and Witherspoon, they immediately refuted the claims. “Kim and Tom have friends and business partners in common,” but the couple is not dating, according to Brady’s spokespeople.
According to sources close to Kardashian, “Kim is very focused on her kids, her businesses, law school, and preparing for American Horror Story, which starts production next month.”
Witherspoon, who just divorced her husband, and Brady both denied allegations of their purported romance. In truth, they both claimed to have never met.
A Glimpse into Their Relationship
When it comes to the current Brady and Shayk speculations, images of the two speaking inside a car lend credence to the claim.
“Listen, I have always cheered for him, and I would continue forever,” Bundchen revealed to Vanity Fair of Brady. “If there’s one person on the planet I want to be the happiest for, it’s him, believe me. I want him to succeed and to win. I want all of his wishes to come true. That is truly what I desire from the bottom of my heart.”
In conclusion, Tom Brady’s romantic life continues to capture the public’s attention as he embarks on a new relationship with model Irina Shayk. While rumors and speculation abound, it’s clear that Brady’s love life is as intriguing as his legendary football career.

Good point on having caution at what people say about what they believe in Catholicism. Many, many people are born Catholic and are just Catholic by name and sometimes go to Church but don’t even know why they believe what they believe. That is why I left the Church almost 15 years ago. This is changing as many parishes are getting better and better at education, but it will take time.
I believe this is a kind of result of the thought that, since so many educated Catholics understand that it is the truth, they can’t fathom people being led astray very easily. They underestimate the level of ignorance or misunderstanding that can occur.
Getting back to the subject, I believe a simple gospel fits more the Catholic view, as you don’t have to argue over what everyone meant to say in scripture.* This all depends on peoples upbringing, values and agendas, which leads to all these different perspectives on what the Bible means. Leading to many discussions on what something means even in one church I once went to. If someone didn’t agree and got bothered enough by it they just went to another church which better fit their own beliefs.
I went back to early Christian writings, (Church Fathers), this led me to the Catholic Church. They give a perspective on what people thought, and believed back in the time of the apostles and directly afterward. Also each time I doubted the Catholic Church I investigated it and it has not let me down. Maybe I will start a thread on one of these when I have the time. Look for it in a couple of days I think I will title it about “Saint Death” and Mexico.
GK Chesterton once said something to the effect of, believing in the Church allows for a more indepth view of religion, as you don’t have to reinvent it each lifetime. It is great, one you understand that Jesus did create a Church here on earth.

After what officials call a long line of con artist-related criminal offenses in several states, Shirley Rush of Linn Creek, Mo. faces charges in Sharp County for defrauding a Missouri man and a Tennessee car lot for over $70,000, with a forged check used to open an account at a local bank.
According to a report obtained from the Sharp County Sheriff's Department, Detective Sergeant Ken Guidry was contacted April 11 by Joe Garner, a resident of Galena, Missouri. Garner told Guidry he had contact with a woman named Shirley Rush and, after attempting to withdraw a small amount of cash from an automated teller machine, discovered his checking account was overdrawn by $48,000. He told Guidry that his bank advised him a check in the amount of $50,000 had been written to Shirley Rush. Garner told the bank the check did not have his signature and determined Rush had taken a blank check from him. The bad check had been passed at First National Banking Company (FNBC) in Ash Flat.
Guidry obtained a copy of the check and Garner's signature card from the Missouri bank. After obtaining a subpoena from the prosecutor's office for all relevant documentation to the transaction at FNBC, including video, he presented it to the bank's security officer Rita Newman.
Newman confirmed the check was deposited into a new account at the bank opened by Rush on April 8. Later it was also confirmed, through both written documentation and video, that Rush opened the account at the Hardy branch of FNBC on April 8 with the $50,000 forged check on Garner's account.
Video evidence showed the woman opening the account at 9:55 a.m. and, thirty three minutes later, withdrawing $35,000 of the money from the Ash Flat branch. The following day, Rush withdrew an additional $12,000 from the account. Documentation showed Rush listed an address of 50 Orchard Drive in Williford on bank documents.
On April 18, Guidry went to the address and spoke to a person at the home. The tenant confirmed Rush owned the home and also told the detective she had property in Missouri. She said she was worried about Rush, because she hadn't seen her in several days and her cell phone was off.
An NCIC check performed by Guidry on Rush revealed a warrant in Missouri for check forgery, as well as 33 alias' and 10 social security numbers she has been known to use. After examination of the evidence gathered, an affidavit charging Rush with forgery and two counts of theft by deception were filed.
On April 20, Guidry checked with the Sharp County Clerk's office to see if any attempt had been made to file the deed on the property Rush had bought in Williford. Later in the afternoon, Guidry found Mary Taylor, the former owner of the property in the clerk's office and asked her if she would talk with him.
Taylor spoke with the detective, telling him she had recently sold her home to Rush for $32,000 and advised she paid cash for the home.
She told Guidry she thought it was odd that she left the area after the deed was signed over to her. Rush advised Taylor she did not want to go through a title company for the transaction, telling her she would record the deed later. Newman, with FNBC ,confirmed Taylor had used the money to pay off the mortgages on her home.
Nearly a month later on May 3, Newman once again contacted Guidry after receiving a check for a little over $21,000 check drawn on the account. The check was written to Veteran Motors in Jackson, Tennessee and deposited into a First South Bank in Jackson.
Guidry contacted the auto dealer and spoke with the manager, who confirmed he had recently sold a Chevy Corvette to Rush. The detective explained the situation, including the forgery and the fact that the check was not good.
The manager told Guidry Rush had been in town for a while and locals were under the impression she had a lot of money. Rush had also given a check to a local realtor as earnest money for the pending purchase of a restaurant, located next door to the dealership where she purchased the Corvette.
Guidry explained Rush was a con artist and the manger of the dealership agreed to help apprehend Rush. Shortly after the conversation with the manager, the owner of the car lot contacted Guidry advising him Rush was spotted by one of his employees pulling into a local restaurant in the vehicle. The employee blocked the Corvette in at the restaurant and called the Madison County Sheriff's Department. She was arrested shortly thereafter and given a first appearance hearing. A detective with Madison County advised Guidry, since the car lot had it's vehicle returned, there would be no charges filed.
Rush was extradited back to Sharp County from Tennessee on May 6, less than a month after opening the account. She was charged with forgery and theft by deceptin.
Rush is currently in the Sharp County Jail awaiting a bond hearing.

How we see the world shapes who we choose to be — and sharing compelling experiences can frame the way we treat each other, for the better. This is a powerful perspective.
“The girl with the sensitive stomach.” That’s what I had been labeled.
For years, I was just a girl with a sensitive stomach who had to lie down after meals, skip out on social plans, and leave class early. The girl who could be out with her friends one night, and the next barely be able to leave her bed. These ups and downs became my way of life.
But then, on Aug. 4, 2017, I went from the girl with the sensitive stomach to the girl with a chronic illness. The girl with an autoimmune disease. The girl with ulcerative colitis.
It took me almost 2 years before I heard the magic words, “You have ulcerative colitis,” and was ushered out of the gastroenterology center with a pamphlet and a diagnosis. Two years of pain and tears and confusion. Two years of clutching to my identity as the girl with the sensitive stomach because I was scared to be the girl with something more serious.
In the first 9 months after my diagnosis for ulcerative colitis, I took on a new identity: the girl in denial.
“I’ve told everyone about it. I write about it on my blog. How could I be in denial?” I wondered, all while ignoring flares, dodging calls from my doctor, running mile after mile each day despite my stomach cramping in protest, and taking on every new responsibility possible at college.
The flare I had been ignoring got even worse a couple of months before graduation. I was losing more and more blood, barely able to keep my eyes open in class due to fatigue, and leaving work early more often than I ever used to because of the pain.
But the denial was keeping me stuck. Denial was telling me I could just wait it out a few more months until I was home. Denial was telling me that soaking up my last 2 months of college was more important than my health. Denial was telling me I could do all the normal things other college seniors do without a second thought about my ulcerative colitis.
It was denial that landed me in the hospital a month after graduation in 2018. My health had gone downhill and, after being unable to eat or drink without excruciating pain, I was admitted to the emergency room.
Denial had created a cushion around my mind. It put me in the position of “staying positive” in a way I now know is toxic. I shoved everything under the rug and plastered a smile on my face. I never processed the grief, the fear, or the anxiety that naturally comes with chronic illness.
On day 3 of lying in my hospital bed, I decided I was done walking on eggshells around myself and my diagnosis. Even though I had told everyone about my diagnosis and changed my diet to support my body, I realized I hadn’t changed what was going on internally. I hadn’t worked on my mindset or faced the hard emotions I had bottled up in order to better support my ulcerative colitis.
By refusing to give up my hustle mindset and lifestyle, refusing to slow down long enough to hear my thoughts, and refusing to acknowledge the grief or fear, I was holding myself back from acceptance.
It finally hit me that my mindset was the last missing piece to getting out of denial. I made it my personal mission to commit to my journey of acceptance and mindset work moving forward.
I believe that finding acceptance with a chronic illness is possible, and it’s possible for everyone. Acceptance doesn’t mean giving in to your illness, though. It means taking back your life by changing your mindset.
Daily meditation, journaling, and slowing down helped me pinpoint my true emotions about my diagnosis and figure out the ways I needed to tweak my life to support my body. It helped me learn the power of being present.
Being present helped me banish “what if” thoughts that would constantly circle in my head, helping me see that what’s going on right here, right now, in my journey with ulcerative colitis is all that matters. It gave me the gift of slowing down long enough to realize that my mindset is the only thing I can control while living with a disease that has a mind of its own.
Working on my relationship with myself helped immensely, too. As my self-love grew, so did my self-respect. And that love and respect became the ultimate catalyst for acceptance. Because of this love for myself, I began prioritizing my needs and committing to routines that bring me peace and presence. Self-love also motivated me to release guilt around making decisions best for myself, even if others didn’t understand.
All of these pieces came together to teach me that my inner world — my soul, my mindset, my emotions — are the most important pieces of me. Not how much I work, how far I run, or if I’m able to “keep up” with other folks my age. Nourishing the pieces of my inner world help me live in the beauty of acceptance.
My journey toward acceptance showed me that I am me and that is enough, even with ulcerative colitis.
Two and a half years after that life-altering hospitalization, I’m happy to say I’ve found genuine life-giving acceptance. I’ve taken my broken pieces and built something beautiful — a strong mind and a strong life. Acceptance is freedom.
Natalie Kelley, the founder of Plenty and Well, is a chronic illness mindset and lifestyle coach, and the host of the Plenty and Well Podcast based near Seattle, Washington. After years of symptoms, she was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2017 at 21 years old. She started her blog and brand a few years prior to share about health and wellness. After her diagnosis, she changed paths to discuss life with a chronic illness and provide support for others. After a life-altering flare-up in 2018 and a hospital stay, Natalie realized her purpose ran deeper than just sharing wisdom on social media. She obtained her holistic health coaching certification which led her to where she is now. She offers women with chronic illnesses personal coaching as well as her group program, The Path to Empowered Acceptance, which helps individuals find acceptance, confidence, and joy on their health journeys.

Denmark’s gambling regulator has today announced that they’ve signed an agreement with the Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC). It means that the Danish Gambling Authority now has a bilateral cooperation agreement and it will form the basis for information and continued cooperation between the two. The agreement will become legally binding once the Danish Gaming Act comes into force later this year. There have been a number of delays to Denmark’s newly regulated market. Most of it centered on complaints from land-based operators after it was revealed they will continue to pay higher taxes than online operators. Although it now looks like it’s well and truly on track for the autumn 2011 opening widely reported earlier on this year.
Elsewhere in Europe, Bwin.fr and Sajoo.fr are looking at merging in order to save more money in the French market. La Tribune reports that the two sides have already put in place cross-shareholdings and it now looks like the two brands will work together. It won’t mean that the Sajoo brand will be lost though and it comes after Pwin announced its intention to sell the network both sites run on, Ongame.
Still in France, Zeturf has responded to the European Court of Justice’s (ECJ) decision that monopolies may be just fine in some cases. Following the detailed opinion, Zeturf were pleased and stated that the new guidelines were “likely to challenge” the monopoly owned by PMU. Thursday’s ruling came after Pari-Mutuel Urbain (PMU) agreed to split up the online and offline parts of their business.

It's a modified v.7--not at all the same design as the TM externally, but the internals are pretty similar.
not at all.
the g&g gear box is longer because it houses the feeding tube and the hop up when installed, it is thicker toward the muzzle, and i think the tm is the taller gearbox.
the tm can only use the v.7 parts for gears and such. the g&g uses a variety of v.2/3 parts including the gears, cylinder, spring guide, and all the piston stuff.

That nothing will be the same after the Coronavirus pandemic dawns upon us gradually. Walking into so utterly new a reality must be a walk in the dark. Let’s look into the unknowable future by considering what we know about the past, for this is not the first time the world has changed suddenly.
How did people of the past handle it?
Think of the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem. The Black Death. The American Civil War. The First World War. Each of these changed the people who lived through it and those who came after.
How did their faith sustain them? And how can our faith sustain us?
Retreat format will include 3 presentations with periods of reflection & silence between each.

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Dearborn) introduced legislation to give the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) tools to combat scam calls targeting vulnerable people.
Last year the FTC received 4.8 million consumer complaints about robocalls and the number continues to rise. Scammers disregard the National Do Not Call Registry and use scare tactics to con victims into sending them money. They often pose as the IRS, the FBI or a utility company and demand payment to avoid legal action.
“Anyone with a cellphone has received a call from a number that looked to be local and turned out to be a scammer,” Dingell said. “At best these calls are annoying; at worst they scare people in Michigan and across the country into giving up hard-earned money. These scammers must be stopped.”
Robocalls often target seniors or people with little ability to pay. The calls use a tactic of “local spoofing,” using a number with the same area code and similar numbers to the recipient. These scam calls are often made over Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services.
The FTC currently lacks authority over phone companies that could force providers to address the issue. The Creating Enforcement Authority to Stop Enablers (CEASE) Robocalls Act would lift the common carrier exemption from the FTC.

I need a simple logo and new banner for my online Bridal store. I am completely redoing my web site with a funky and fresh look. Am looking for something creative to be done with company name SomethingForBrides.com. Perhaps a engagment ring made out of one of the "O's" or a veil hanging off one of the letters. Or a cartoon bride standing behind the wording and tossing her bouquet to her wedding party that would be at the other end of the banner. Font should also not be a generic Times New Roman or Arial. Something along the lines of Comic Sans.
Also, need an image for the banner that shows images of a bride and her bridal party since my site also tailors to the wedding party. I am looking for the images to be cartoon like but again edgy and fresh. Want bright colors used like lavender, aqua blue, pinks, lime greens...
I can scan and email some style samples that I've found on other product packaging.

The only thing that I am worried about are the hairs that are shedding. Cant help but wonder if it will itch. The sample I made, washed and block had colors that ran a little bit.

I made a cardigan with this yarn. It is so nice and soft. It reminds me of cascade 220 or ultra alpaca (in thickness), but it is so much softer. I imagine it would be equally wonderful in scarves/cowls, mittens, or hats. I'm looking for my next cardigan pattern using the same yarn. I just loved working with it and the finished object. I highly recommend!

EUGENE, Ore. -- You don't need to take a trip to space to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. The Eugene Science Center is holding Apollopalooza this week.
The celebration honors the historic journey with multiple events that kicked off Tuesday with the "Lunar Launch Adult Night."
While Tuesday's party was for adults only, the science center events for kids of all ages are going on until Saturday, July 20 -- the day astronauts landed on the moon 50 years ago.
The events include a model rocket workshop, film screening and special presentations.
"It's something that I think will hopefully inspire our next generation of scientists and engineers to continue exploring our solar system and beyond," said Harley Sharp with the Eugene Science Center.
The festival on Saturday starts at 10 a.m. and includes live music and food.

Saracens much more prepared for Premiership semi than 2017 says Kruis
- Credit: PA Wire/PA Images
George Kruis says Saracens are in a much better place and more mentally prepared to face Gloucester than they were two years ago.
That year saw just seven days separate their win over Clermont in the Champions Cup and their Premiership semi-final with Exeter Chiefs.
They won the European contest, with the big second row on the scoresheet at Murrayfield, before going down to a last-minute Sam Simmonds try in Devon.
Kruis admitted that perhaps the celebrations took the edge of their preparations in 2017 but thanks to an extra week this time around following their titanic and brilliant 20-10 win over Leinster, the Men in Black are ready and raing to go against the Cherry and Whites at Allianz Park.
Kruis said: "We've been fortunate that a lot of us have had a rest this week.
"That's a nice thing to have. We struggled two years going straight from the European Cup to a similar game with Exeter.
"That was a tough game, mentally and physically.
- 1 Man files complaint following 'unlawful arrest' by police officers
- 2 Barnet: Two men charged following fatal High Road stabbing
- 3 First Muslim lord mayor of Westminster announced
- 4 Golders Green school rated 'inadequate' for second time
- 5 Businesses hail return of Highgate's Fair in the Square
- 6 Covid-19: Hospital admissions and bed occupancy continue to fall
- 7 'It's a lovely community': The Bull reopens under new management
- 8 What is the rare 'monkeypox' being treated at the Royal Free?
- 9 Barnet: Three arrested as victim of fatal stabbing named
- 10 Fears over large nitrous oxide cannisters found in Gospel Oak
"For me it was one of the toughest games to play in and to take the loss as well.
"There wasn't a long turnaround time between winning in Europe and going again in the semi-final and we probably weren't prepared as we could have been.
"But we've worked very hard in preparation this week and it's such a big thing to play well in and win games like this."
Gloucester will arrive in NW4 having finished 10 points behind Sarries in the table.
But they boast, in Danny Cipriani, a mercurial talent with a point to prove to England head coach Eddie Jones ahead of this autumn's World Cup.
But Kruis says there is much more to the Kingsholm side that the talismanic number 10.
"They've improved over the last few seasons," he said. "They haven't just become a better side, they've worked hard and recruited well. And they rank right up there in the statistics.
"They are a decent team and for us it's about raising our game.
"A lot of times in semis and finals there is a very simple game plan. You have to win your set-piece and physicality is huge.
"This is a massive game. It's the semi-final of the Premiership and something you've worked all year for.
"We've talked about it and it's something we're buzzing for."

In addition to nutrition suited to a specific Dosha, taking the individual digestive power (Agni) into consideration also plays a decisive role in maintaining strength, health and vitality.
If the Agni is too weak and if the metabolism is disturbed, then a build-up of metabolic wastes and acidosis result. Metabolic wastes (Ama) deposit themselves in the body and can trigger various illnesses. It is the goal of the Ayurvedic nutrition therapy, therefore, to strengthen and support the digestive fire. This happens, for example, by adding specific spices such as ginger, coriander or cumin and by choosing foods suitable to the individual Dosha.
The body should also be cleansed by getting rid of Ama which has already collected and by preventing the formation of new wastes. This process can be supported by drinking hot water regularly. Also, an occasional “liquid” day helps, during which liquids replace solid foods. The common goal of both measures is a strong and healthy Agni.
The optimal processing and transformation of the food that has been eaten into healthy and strong body tissue can only be guaranteed if the digestive fire is strong enough. If the food is completely metabolized, a subtle end product called Ojas – the essence of life, is produced. Ojas gives radiance and youth, improves the power of concentration and positive thinking and strengthens the immune system.
In order to keep the body, mind and soul healthy and happy and to prevent illness, the following should generally apply:
- regular meal times, main meal at noon (strongest digestive power)
- warm meals (can be digested easier and stimulate Agni)
- Meals suited to your specific Dosha (correct foods and spices for optimal support of digestion)
- Freshly prepared, quality meals (preferably regional, organic and seasonal products)
- All six tastes in each meal (sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, astringent)
Enjoy your meals with all of your senses and take time for your meals. Be aware of your body signals and go with your own “gut feelings”!

3.1 Gold nanoparticles concentration and extinction coeﬀicient.
The molar concentration and extinction coeﬀicient of gold nanoparticle solutions in Table 1, have be calculated through the following steps:
1. Calculating the average number of gold atoms per nanoparticle (N) from HRTEM images as shown in Figure 4. Assuming a spherical and fcc shaped nanoparticle, the average number of gold atoms (N) per nanoparticle was calculated using Equation 1 , where π is the the circumference of a sphere (3.14), ρ is the density for fcc gold (19.3g/cm3), NA is Avogadro’s number (the number of atoms per mole) (6.023×1023), M is the atomic weight of gold (197 g/M), and D is the average core diameter of nanoparticles that are summarized in Table 2.
Table 1: Molar concentrations a and extinction coeﬀicients (ε)b of gold nanoparticle solutions.
- molar concentrations calculated from Equation 2.
- extinction coeﬀicients calculated from the slope of regression line in Figure 3.
- extinction coeﬀicient not calculated due to aggregation of AuNP s and unstable λmax.
2. Calculating the molar concentration of the prepared solutions from initial concen- tration, using Equation 2 where C is the molar concentration of the nanoparticle solution, NTotal is the total number of gold atoms (the initial amount of gold salt, HAuCl4,used), N stands for the average number of gold atoms per nanoparticle from Equation 1, and V is the volume of the reaction solution in (L), assuming that the gold(III) reduction was complete.
3. Determining the molar extinction coeﬀicient of each sample from the slope of the regression line of absorbance vs concentration curves in Figure 3 (inset-2 in 3a, 3b, and 3d). This actually based on Lambert–Beer’s Equation 3, where A stands for absorption, ε is molar absorptivity or molar extinction coeﬀicient (the slope), b is the path length of cuvette (1cm), c is the calculated molar concentration of gold nanoparticle solutions from Equation 2.
A = εbc (3)
3.2 Gold nanoparticles color stability, and UV-Vis’s absorbance spectra in the absence and presence of medications.
The synthesized gold nanoparticle solution (3.68×10−8 M) has been characterized using UV-Vis spectrophotometer and spectrofluorometer with maximum absorption and emis- sion at λmax 520 nm. The resolution of the spectrofluorimetric is high compared to UV-Vis spectrophotometry, as the FWHM (Full Width at Half Maximum) was small (5 nm) in fluorimetry, while in UV-Vis the FWHM was broader (60 nm) as in Figure 2.
The color stability of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has been studied visually and by UV-Vis’s spectrophotometer. Visually, the color of AuNPs was stable for long period under tight storage conditions (≃ six months) . After addition of drugs to AuNPs, the color of AuNPs was mostly stable with alendronate, while least stable with me- mantine and tobramycin. The color change and the reactivity with tobramycin was most powerful than with memantine. Once the color changed, the process is repeated until the color completely disappeared. In the nanoscale, memantine and tobramycin made no color change. However, in the micro-scale, color change has been occurred.
Using UV-Vis, The nano-ranges of memantine and tobramycin did not led to red shift at λmax 520 nm as shown in Figure 3b and 3c or nanoparticles’ aggregations (Figure 5b) over twenty minutes. Mem. nano-ranges (33.46-334.63 nM) and Tobr. nano-ranges (4.28-128.34 nM) were stable for twenty minutes as shown in (inset-1 in Figure 3b, and inset-1 in Figure 3c), while Alen. was stable in the milli-ranges (0.11-1.48 E-02 mM) as in (inset-1 in Figure 3a). However, The micro-ranges of Mem. and Tobr. led to red shift (Figure 4a and 4b) and aggregation of gold nanoparticles (Figure 5d,5e).
3.3 Gold nanoparticles core diameter in the absence and presence of medications.
HRTEM images indicated that the core diameters of gold nanoparticles do not change when adding different medications with various concentrations even when nanoparticles aggregated. The average core diameter of AuNPs was 9.58 ± 1.27 nm. After addition of alendronate, memantine, and tobramycin to AuNPs solution, the average core diameters were relatively stable (9.68 ± 0.15 nm) as obvious in HRTEM images in Figure (5) and the calculated average core diameter in Table (2). The aggregation and color change of gold nanoparticles occur due to other factors, other than increasing in the core size of gold nanoparticles which could be due to increase in hydrodynamic diameter of nanoparticles, attraction, and repulsion forces of the outermost layer of nanoparticles, and the chemical compositions of drugs.
2: Mean core diameter, hydrodynamic diameter and Zeta Potential * of gold nanoparticles in absence and presence of alendronate, memantine, and tobramycin.
*The average core diameter, hydrodynamic diameter and Zeta Potential calculated from multiple HRTEM images and DLS measures.
3.4 Gold nanoparticles hydrodynamic diameter, and surface charge in the absence and presence of medications.
The hydrodynamic diameter of gold nanoparticles solution (52.08 ± 3.54 nm), calculated in Table 2, increase with increasing drug concentrations, except with alendronate, the hydrodynamic diameter of particles showed very small change (from 52.08 to 58.94 nm). The gradual increase in hydrodynamic diameter with increasing concentrations from nano- to micro is very large with tobramycin (from 135.3 to 332.16 nm) compared to memantine (from 64.99 to 98.41 nm) as shown in Figure 5 and Table 2. This may be attributed to the bulk structure of tobramycin and its various functional groups as shown in Figure 6 which accelerate the accumulation of more drug molecules on the surface of gold nanoparticles. While memantine structure is very small and has only one primary amine functional group available for reaction. Similarly, the average zeta potentials were measured by Zeta Potential Analyzer to analyze the surface charge of gold nanoparticles as in Table 2. The greatest decrease in negativity was with memantine (from 0.26 to 0.53 mv), while with tobramycin obviously decreased in the micro-level (from -23.63 to -1.64 mv). But with alendronate, a slight increase in negativity (from -24.56 to -30.23 mv).
3.5 Proposed gold nanoparticles’ reactivity mechanism
The stabilization of Turkevich gold nanoparticles is attributed to the electrostatic inter- actions of the negative coating layers of citrate-anions with the nanoparticle core which keep the particles suspended in the colloidal solution without precipitation . The suggested stability of Turkevich gold nanoparticles after the addition of solutions of the tested drugs (Alen., Mem., Tobr.) could be explained from the chemical structures (Fig- ure 6) as follows. It can be observed that the three drugs contain a primary amine group (−NH2) which may interact with the negative case of alendronate, there is only one primary amine group (−NH2) that could interact with the weak carboxylic acid groups (−COO−) of citrate-anions, leaving the bis-phosphonate group (−COH(PO3H2)2) freely coating the outer most layer of nanoparticles. This sec- ond negative layer of the bis-phosphonate group in alendronate could be used as another stabilizing and protective layer, which may contribute to the compatibility of gold nanoparticles with alendronate. On the other hand, memantine also contains only one primary amine group (−NH2) like alendronate, that could interact with the weak carboxylic acid group (−COO−) till complete saturation of the outer most layer of gold nanoparticles with memantine leaving this layer uncharged by the hydrocarbon chains. It was observed that memantine exhibits positive zeta potential as in Table 2 which could be explained by the presence of the hydrocarbon chains, that may form weak ionic inter- actions with matrix materials which may lead the attraction of gold nanoparticles to each other at the micro-level. On the contrary, Tobramycin that contains more than one primary amine group (−NH2), may interact with the gold nanoparticles in many directions. This may explain why tobramycin has rapid reactivity toward these nanoparticles. All these suggested mechanisms have been illustrated in the proposed diagrams (Figure 6).

Through our virtual platform our nutritional coaches will lead you through a nutrition plan as well as address challenges and goals in order to create a healthy lifestyle.
Eating healthy and being physically active are lifelong behaviors and not one-time events. Unhealthy behaviors develop over the course of time, therefore replacing them with healthy ones requires time and support. There are great benefits from group support as well as sharing experiences and advice that can be healing to the mind, body and spirit. People in support group settings can strengthen and empower themselves. Lifestyle behavioral support will help people realize that they are not alone.
I had accepted that I was a middle age woman at 45. I had accepted that I was tired and gained 18 pounds overnight. I had accepted that I was on an anti-depressant for the rest of my life and that it was as good as it gets. My doctor never even checked anything else. Then I went to Dr. Passer’s office. I needed thyroid replacement. Of course my hormones were that of a 45 year old! I needed testosterone. I needed estrogen and progesterone. I needed dhea and a multi-vitamin hormone activator. I did not need an anti-depressant. It took almost two months. I lost 24 pounds. My energy came back!
Everyone out there who has struggled with their weight, needs to hear how wonderful and easy Dr. Emma’s diet is to follow and to please make the commitment to want to change their lives and I will be forever thankful to her, because she has already changed mine!!
encourage anyone out there to make this journey with me and to go and see the wonderful weight loss professional’s at Dr. Passer’s ~ you won’t regret it!!
Dr. Emma’s diet is like not being on a diet if you know what I mean…lol!! She had made it so easy to follow and the best part is, you get to eat real food that I get to prepare myself, it is not that pre-packed food that once you take a look at, you would rather starve than eat it. Another perk of her diet is, I don’t have to run to the gym and bust my butt to get the weight off. I simply go walking at night and each night I go a little further and I am proud to say that only after 25 days, I am down 21 pounds!!!!! I also want to let everyone out there know that you do not starve on this diet. I have read a lot of negative comments on the internet stating you only get 500 calories so you are starving yourself. This diet is catered around you and your body and I personally get 1000 calories/day and trust me, that is a lot of food!
I have gone from a size 18 to a size10, have lost 41 pounds, and reduced my body mass index from 33 to 26. Just as impressively, my fat went from 86 to 57. This is less than I have weighed in 35 years. I feel healthier than I have since my 20s.
Throughout this process, I had the benefit of Penny’s expert advice and consultation. Her guidance and support has made a significant difference in my success. My husband also has become a patient of Dr. Passer and Penny. He was placed on a diet plan that is right for him, and has successfully lost weight.
At close to 200lbs, I had do something for my health and self esteem. I met Penny, who was encouraging and knowledgeable about weight loss and eating healthy. We talked about my struggles with weight and food addiction. I am now 7 month into the program and couldn’t be happier. I have lost almost 50 pounds and can’t wait to lose more…Hard work, determination, and great support has turned me in the right direction.

The image above is for illustration purpose only. The actual module may vary from the one presented here.
Module M-CON-ENOCN-p is a component of the Ampio system. Required voltage to power the module is 11 — 16V DC. The module is controlled via CAN bus.
The module is used for integration with devices that support the EnOcean 868Mhz wireless communication standard. With the use of the module, it is possible to receive unencrypted messages from a defined pool of devices that communicate via the EnOcean technology. These messages are converted into a form suitable for the CAN bus, which allows them to be used within the building automation logic.
It is possible to define up to 250 EnOcean devices whose messages will be interpreted by the M-CON-ENOCN-p module.
The dimensions of the module enable its installation in a standard junction box. In order to start the module, it must be connected to the CAN bus. The bus of the Ampio system consists of four wires - two for power and two for communication between the modules.
On the front of the module there are signalling LED indicators. The redl LED with the label CAN indicates the status of communication on the CAN bus:
The module is programmed with a special programmer, available for authorised technicians, and the Ampio Smart Home CAN conﬁgurator software. It allows you to modify the parameters of the module and define its behaviour in response to signals directly available to the module as well as general information coming from all devices present in the home automation bus.
Configuration of the list of addresses of EnOcean devices whose messages will be interpreted by the M-CON-ENOCN-p module is possible using the Ampio Designer software. This implies that a device from the M-SERV family must be present in the building automation bus while the configuration activities are being performed.
Dimensions expressed in millimeters.The dashed lines mark the areas where the device connectors or its other elements can be located.

As you will be working with hot tools and an open flame you must work with a heat resistant mat to put tools on when not in use. And what better way to show off their work than to hang it on the front door! Our various teams work synergistically with you to help identify your actual and potential direct, indirect, and budget competition areas. The perspectives help our clients to bridge the gap between agenda and action plan. If you don’t have an older child to help, this one may need a lot of adult help. This is a great way to get your kids in the mood for Valentine’s Day, have fun for a few hours, and have something to be proud of afterward. This is a great opportunity for you to also show your kids how much you care about them by spending some valuable quality time with them. We like to tape them up in all of the windows of the house, and even use them as gifts for friends, family and neighbors to show them we care.
Take this time to talk to them about all of the people that they care about in their lives and what they can do to show them how much they care. Furthermore, the study guides you to set benchmarks for integrating people and processes with the 4Ps of marketing. Step 5: Once the seal edge has formed, press down carefully to set the stamp and stop any sliding movements. 3.76 for Transparent Seal Wax Set Mermaid Tears Lacquer Wax EVA Resin Wax Beads Envelope Wedding Wax Seal Craft Hand Account Decoration item. Epoxy resin glue is a great way to repair or create jewelry by placing a small amount where you want to connect the pieces together. Not only will these projects spark their imaginations and let them express their creativity, but they will help to get everyone in the household in the right mood for a great day of love and joy.
And don’t limit yourself to celery, tons of different fruits and vegetables, along with other household items, can be used as great paintbrushes. Kids love being able to create, whether that means draw, cut, paint, glue, color, or put together, and why not use this Valentine’s Day as a great excuse for them to do so! This would make a great homeschool project, or something for a much larger group to do. To make it easier, just hot glue every two hearts together around the edges, leaving a hole in one side. Use a standard glue gun (shown throughout this tutorial) Press the seal into the wax. Now you can hot glue the last little bit on each heart bean bag together to seal them. When your hearts have dried, have your kids fill each pocket with dried beans to make their bean bags. Can you make your own sealing wax? Start by unrolling your clear contact paper and cutting it off about the height of your tissue paper so that you can layer tissue paper across it. You will want to start by cutting a huge heart out of your red poster board, as large as you can get it.
Start by pulling out a large mixing bowl and pouring your birdseed into it. In that case, cut out small rectangles. Punch a small hole in the top of each heart and string your ribbon through. Not only do you have to cut a heart shape out of the middle of your plate, and punch holes all around the heart, but them you have to weave the yarn onto your shape. If you have other questions about your order , please feel free to contact us.THANKS. Feel free to mix your birdseed with a nice big spoon or even with your hands until everything is mixed. Pour the contents of your spoon over the lip of the envelope, getting as much onto the paper as possible. Hold the spoon over the flame for a minute or two until the beads have all melted. We have done a number of these, in a few different ways, for each holiday to provide the birds in our neighborhood some food throughout the year.
You might even want to box it up with your holiday decor and pull it out for more fun next Valentine’s Day. The first thing you’ll want to do is smash both of your paper towel rolls flat. First decide what kind of design you would like on your t-shirt. If you want beautiful tulip pictures, like in the example, you will also want to prepare some green paint and paintbrushes for them. Prepare bowls of red paint for them to dip their celery in and let them go. They can either paint the tulip stems before or after having fun with the red paint and celery. Cut your heads of celery off about 4-5 inches from the bottom. On the back of your plates, draw a heart in the middle and cut it out. Next, use your hole punch to punch separate holes all around your heart shaped hole in the plate. I use a putty knife (carefully) to remove it.

Cosmetic dentistry might seem like a luxury expense to some, but if you’re unhappy with your teeth, this can impact your confidence majorly. Cosmetic dentistry can really help you come to terms with your appearance and become more confident, which is important to address. The price of cosmetic dentistry varies between practices. Many dental surgeries will have price lists on their website to give you a general idea of costs, and they will offer consultations so you can talk to a dentist about the exact treatments you would need. Some options might cost more than others. For example, having veneers on all of your teeth might cost more than just having a crown on one tooth. Some practices know that their patients can’t always afford to pay for treatments outright and will offer the option to pay in instalments over a number of months. This can make cosmetic dentistry much more affordable.
If you had braces as a child, you might have visions of metal train track braces that are permanently fixed to your teeth, looking unsightly and make your mouth feel uncomfortable too. Now, there are much more modern solutions, namely Invisalign braces, which straighten your teeth without involving large sets of metal braces. Are they really as good as they seem? One of the best things about Invisalign is that they are removable so you aren’t stuck with feeling that you have to wear your braces all of the time. You can take them out when you are socialising, or simply to give them a thorough clean and keep them feeling more hygienic. Even when Invisalign braces are in your mouth, they are subtle and won’t look very obvious – most people who don’t know that you have braces probably won’t notice them at all. It’s a very beneficial way of having braces and getting better teeth.
Many people will make all kinds of preparations for their wedding day – it’s one of the biggest days of your life and you will want to look your best. Some people grow their hair for years so they can have the hairstyle of their dreams, others spend months looking for the perfect dress – or perhaps you will do both of these things and more! Cosmetic teeth whitening ahead of a wedding is now a popular procedure, giving you the smile of your dreams ahead of your big day. There’s nothing worse than feeling self conscious when people are looking at you, and only you, especially when it is your own wedding! This procedure can help you to feel more like yourself, before the stains built up on your teeth and made you dislike them. Should you consider teeth whitening ahead of your wedding? If you have wondered about the possibility of having your teeth whitened already, it’s clearly something that matters to you. In this case, you can book a consultation with a dentist to discuss your options and find out whether tooth whitening will be the best option for you. They can give you professional and personalised […]
Many foods and drinks can cause serious damage to your teeth and impact on your oral health over time. It’s best to either avoid these foods completely, or to have them in moderation – it depends on your current oral health as to what your dentist will recommend. These are some of the worst culprits of bad oral health: Alcohol. Drinking alcohol can dry your mouth out, making it difficult for your mouth to cleanse itself. Over time, this can lead to a higher risk of tooth decay and infections. Lemon and citrus. Whilst there are many other health benefits, citrus can wear away tooth enamel and make your teeth more likely to be affected by decay. Sweets and biscuits. These are particularly bad for teeth, as they are processed foods that have added sugar in them. The sugar can cause oral health problems and it can give you bad breath.
Private dentistry costs far more than seeing a dentist on the NHS, but can it really be worth the extra money? There are some significant reasons that mean many people prefer to see a private dentist – here are some of the key things to remember: You can see a hygienist as well as a dentist. This service is not normally available on the NHS, unless you already have a specific problem. If you want to keep your teeth clean and maintain good oral health, it is an excellent idea to visit a private hygienist. There is high-tech equipment. An NHS practice will have all the necessary equipment, but a private practice might have more advanced equipment that can help make your appointments shorter, such as digital x-ray facilities. Private practices might offer more specialist treatments. If you want orthodontic or cosmetic treatments as an adult, you will usually have to visit a private practice.

Federal prosecutors behind the Commonwealth Edison bribery probe signed off Monday on allowing a legislative committee to call witnesses as it investigates whether the utility and Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan engaged in any wrongdoing together.
Two members of the committee, state Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch, D-Hillside, and Rep. Tom Demmer, R-Dixon, confirmed that was the message conveyed to them Monday in a phone call with U.S. Attorney John Lausch, who is heading the criminal investigation into ComEd’s prolific Springfield lobbying operation.
But that point from the conversation appears to be about the only one Democrats and Republicans on the special committee investigating Madigan agree on, throwing the future of the probe into question.
Welch, the committee’s chairman, told WBEZ that Lausch was careful to ask that the panel not stray into “materials or testimony” that is “still confidential” or “in the possession of the federal government” related to a deal between the feds and ComEd to defer prosecution for three years.
ComEd’s deferred prosecution agreement describes Public Official A as “the Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives and the longest serving member of the House of Representatives.” Even though Madigan is the sole person that description applies to, Madigan’s name appears nowhere in the document.
“In other words, we can call witnesses, but we can’t really ask them any questions,” Welch told WBEZ.
Welch also lashed out at Republicans on the committee, accusing them of leaking details of Monday’s conversation with Lausch. Welch said he had intended to memorialize the conversation in a memo and make it public but got preempted.
“How anyone even found out about the fact that we even had the call [Monday] only tells me that someone’s trying to score political points,” Welch said. “I think the GOP realized that the U.S. attorney said what he said and that we were not gonna be able to get documents and information that they’re seeking. And so they jumped the gun. They’re trying to score political points. They know exactly what he said and they only shared parts of the story.”
Last week, Republicans made clear their desire to call a bevy of witnesses referred to directly or indirectly by the federal deferred prosecution agreement, including Madigan; the speaker’s longtime friend and former ComEd lobbyist, Michael McClain; former City Club of Chicago CEO Jay Doherty and past and current ComEd executives.
Demmer, however, said Lausch’s instructions open the door for Madigan himself to be called before the legislative panel, which was convened after Republicans pushed for its creation.
“Members of the committee and other elected officials in Illinois have suggested that this special investigative committee might be a forum in which [Madigan] could provide some sought-after answers,” Demmer said. “And so, the indication [Monday] that there is no objection by the U.S. attorney to us calling Speaker Madigan for a testimony … helps clear the path to getting some of those answers.”
Madigan has denied any wrongdoing. ComEd has acknowledged it steered company jobs and contracts to associates of the speaker in order to advance its Springfield agenda between 2011 and last year.
A spokesman for Lausch did not respond to a voicemail late Monday.
The committee has not scheduled its next hearing date, but Demmer predicted it could come as early as next week.
