To wash non-iron shirts, use a gentle cycle with warm water and a mild detergent. Then, immediately remove from the washer and hang or tumble dry on low heat.
Caring for non-iron shirts can extend their lifespan and maintain their crisp appearance. These garments are designed with convenience in mind, featuring fabrics that resist wrinkles and make laundry day a breeze. Despite their easy-care label, it’s important to follow the correct washing instructions to ensure they look sharp wear after wear.
Gentle cycles and proper drying techniques are key to preserving the non-iron qualities. By doing so, you can keep your dress shirts in top-notch condition without the need for a time-consuming ironing session after each wash. Embracing these simple care steps will keep your wardrobe ready at a moment’s notice, perfect for the modern individual’s busy lifestyle.
Introduction To Non-iron Shirts
Non-iron shirts are a marvel of modern textile engineering, providing a crisp and neat appearance without the need for traditional ironing. Made from cotton that is treated with a special resin, non-iron shirts have become a go-to choice for individuals with a fast-paced lifestyle. The fibers of non-iron shirts are designed to resist wrinkles and maintain a smooth look throughout the day. Their durability and time-saving qualities can be a lifesaver for those who are always on the move and need to maintain a professional image.
The benefits of non-iron shirts extend beyond their low-maintenance nature. They are also incredibly versatile, seamlessly transitioning from a day at the office to an evening out with minimal effort. By eliminating the time-consuming process of ironing, these shirts give busy individuals more time to focus on what’s essential—be it work, family, or self-care.
Pre-washing Instructions For Non-iron Shirts
Always consult the manufacturer’s guidelines before laundering your non-iron shirts to ensure washing them correctly. These can often be found on the shirt’s tag and may include specific instructions about water temperature and detergent type.
Sort your shirts by color and fabric type to prevent any color bleeding or damage to delicate fabrics. Group similar colors together, and separate light from dark garments. Additionally, it’s essential to differentiate between pure cotton shirts and those that may contain a blend of synthetic materials.
To prepare your shirts for washing, fasten all buttons, and turn them inside out. Check the pockets to remove any items, and lay collars flat to maintain their shape. Collar stays should be removed if they aren’t permanently affixed to the shirt to avoid damage during the wash cycle.
Washing Your Non-iron Shirts
Washing non-iron shirts properly begins with the selection of a gentle detergent. For enhanced longevity and fabric care, it is crucial to opt for detergents labeled as ‘mild’ or ‘for delicates’. These are specifically formulated to preserve the shirt’s appearance and performance without the harsh chemicals that could potentially degrade the non-iron finish.
Adjusting the water temperature is another key element in the washing process. Cold water is the go-to choice for preserving the shirt’s non-iron properties and preventing any unwanted shrinkage. Rigorous temperatures often lead to damage, hence sticking to cool or lukewarm settings is best for maintaining the shirt quality over time.
Regarding the wash cycle option, selecting a setting meant for delicates or a gentle cycle is vital. This ensures the non-iron shirts are treated with care, minimizing the agitation that can come from more intensive settings, and ultimately defending against wear and tear.
- Combine non-iron shirts with similar fabrics to avoid abrasion.
- Do not overload the washer, as this can cause unnecessary friction and wrinkling.
- Fasten buttons to safeguard the shirts from catching on other items.
- Sort by color and material to avoid dye transfer and to enable an even clean.
Drying And Post-wash Care
Proper drying is essential to preserve the non-iron properties of shirts. The Air-Dry Technique involves hanging the shirt on a hanger immediately after washing and allowing it to dry naturally. This method is beneficial as it reduces energy consumption and avoids potential heat damage from dryers. In addition, air drying minimizes wrinkles, eliminating the need for ironing.
Utilizing a dryer should be a cautious choice for non-iron shirts. When necessary, choose a low-heat setting and remove the shirt promptly as soon as the cycle is complete to avoid set-in wrinkles. To maintain the non-iron quality, shirts should be folded or hung as soon as they are dry. This attention to post-wash handling is crucial in extending the life and appearance of non-iron garments.
Ironing Non-iron Shirts: Is It Necessary?
Ironing non-iron shirts may seem counterintuitive, but certain circumstances might necessitate a quick press. Unexpected wrinkles from packing or a required crisp appearance for formal events are situations where ironing can be beneficial. To minimize damage and maintain the shirt’s quality, use a low heat setting and avoid excessive steam.
For those aiming to sidestep ironing altogether, proper washing and drying techniques can help keep shirts wrinkle-free. Ensure to remove shirts promptly from the washing machine post-cycle and shake them out before hanging to dry. A tumble dryer’s permanent press cycle can also reduce creasing; simply hang the shirts promptly once the cycle ends. Employing these strategies can keep your non-iron shirts looking sharp without the need for ironing.
Long-term Care And Maintenance
To ensure your non-iron shirts remain in top condition, proper storage is key. Firstly, always hang shirts on quality hangers to maintain their shape and prevent wrinkles. Avoid overcrowding your closet which can cause unwanted creases. For stain removal, it’s essential to act quickly. Gently blotting stains with a mild detergent is effective without compromising the shirt’s non-iron properties. Refrain from using harsh chemicals, as they may damage the fabric. Check your shirts regularly for signs of wear and tear. When the fabric appears worn or discolored, it may be time to replace your non-iron shirt. This helps maintain a neat and professional wardrobe.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Shrinking and stretching of non-iron shirts often stem from misconceptions surrounding fabric care. Contrary to popular belief, these garments are durable when treated correctly during washing. Proper laundering maintains both the shape and size of the shirt, debunking the myth that non-iron shirts cannot withstand regular washing. To prevent shrinking, always use cold water and select the gentle cycle; for deterrence of stretching, avoid overloading the washer and remove shirts promptly once the cycle completes.
For those wishing to revive the crispness of an aged non-iron shirt, a few simple steps can breathe new life into the fabric. Begin by washing the shirt according to care instructions – this reactivates the shirt’s non-iron properties. If the shirt still lacks stiffness, a light spray of starch while ironing on low heat can help restore the desired firmness.
Facing the issue of non-iron shirts beginning to wrinkle requires a closer look at laundering habits. Consistently washing with cold water and promptly removing shirts from the dryer minimizes wrinkle formation. For persistent wrinkles, a quick pass with the iron on a low setting can smooth out the fabric. Pressing just after washing while the shirt is still slightly damp can yield the best results.
Conclusion: Making The Most Of Your Non-iron Shirts
Maintaining non-iron shirts necessitates a few straightforward but essential steps to ensure their longevity and appearance. Firstly, gentle machine washing in cool water is paramount—with a preference for a mild detergent to prevent the fabric from degrading. It’s advisable to launder these shirts with similar colors and avoid overcrowding the washing machine, as this can lead to unnecessary wrinkles.
Once the washing cycle is complete, promptly removing the shirts from the machine is key to maintaining their crisp look. Hang them up or lay them flat to dry – avoiding high heat from a tumble dryer is a must to preserve the non-iron quality. Ironing should indeed be unnecessary, but if a touch-up is needed, it should be done on a low heat setting.
Considering the environmental aspects of non-iron shirts, it’s worth noting that their chemical treatment poses some concerns. To counter this, actively searching for brands committed to eco-friendly practices or wear certifications supporting sustainable production can be beneficial. Integrating non-iron shirts into a mindful wardrobe can be achieved by valuing quality over quantity, thereby reducing fashion waste.
Washing non-iron shirts doesn’t have to be a hassle. With the right approach, these garments can stay crisp and fresh. Remember, gentle cycles, cool water, and proper drying keep your shirts looking their best. Embrace these simple steps, and you’ll enjoy hassle-free shirt care.

Thermatic Homes are a national M&E contractor based in Greater Manchester that provides a one-stop solution for housing associations, from mechanical and electrical services, to build and renewable energy installations and training. Here, Managing Director Karl Wallace tells LABM why building strong relationships with housing association partners is so important.
Thermatic Homes is passionate about delivering an exceptionally high standard of work, bringing a wealth of expertise with our flexible approach and forward thinking to every project. We take great pride in delivering a truly bespoke service to ensure our individual client needs are met.
Our Mission is simple — To deliver the highest level of service to our customers whilst leaving the greatest lasting impressions. Which is why we focus on building strong relationships with the housing associations we work with.
For us, it’s a great privilege to work in someone’s home and we understand that for our clients it’s important that their tenants are put at ease and so whatever job we’re contracted in to do, and wherever we are in the country we always make sure that our engineers treat the tenants home as if it was their own.
With gas being phased out, many of our clients are looking into alternative technologies to heat their homes and currently the only feasible solution is air source heat pumps.
We’ve been heavily involved with one housing provider’s shift towards renewable energy and have been installing air source heat pumps throughout their social housing stock. One of the big problems they faced was that they didn’t have enough information to assure tenants of cost savings. However, thanks to our experience of installing ASHP’s we have been able to address these concerns.
The social housing provider had huge concerns about their own ability to service and maintain what is a new technology with their own trained staff. Which is why we train their engineers at our purpose-built training academy in Salford and why we offer their first years’ service free of charge in order to give the social housing provider a period of time so that their engineers can be suitably upskilled.
We have installed consumption and heat external data monitoring within all of the ASPH’s installed on the social housing estate, which is providing valuable real-time data to not only assist in funding claims, but to also provide evidence of cost saving, which is also relayed to their tenants. The information we provide from the metering package is fundamental when deciding the feasibility of future projects.
The work on the air source heat pumps has come after building a successful working relationship with the social housing provider. We’ve been been heavily involved in solar thermal but also helping them find the right properties to install it on. We’ve been doing solar thermal servicing and rectification works, gas servicing, as well as build and reactive response.
Thermatic Homes Training Academy
Due to the inevitable upcoming demand for the installation of renewable technology. Thermatic Homes have setup our own training academy which will offer full certified training for installers and any other companies wishing to get their MCS accreditation.
Whether you’re a housing association, tenant, or installer please feel free to contact Thermatic Homes should we be able to assist your with your renewable journey.
For more information on Thermatic Homes’ services contact Karl Wallace on 0330 0415 282, or email firstname.lastname@example.org.

Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) has disrupted the blockchain-enabled botnet known as Glupteba, which is made up of around 1 million compromised Windows and internet of things (IoT) devices.
In tandem, Google also filed a lawsuit against the botnet’s operators.
Glupteba, already a formidable presence worldwide, grows at a rate of thousands of new devices per day, according to TAG. It spreads via fake pirate software, fake YouTube videos, malicious documents, traffic distribution systems and more, researchers said. Once installed, it sets about stealing users’ credentials and data, mining cryptocurrencies on infected hosts, and setting up proxies to funnel other internet traffic through infected machines and routers.
We want to know what your biggest cloud security concerns and challenges are, and how your company is dealing with them. Weigh in with our exclusive, anonymous Threatpost Poll!
“And at any moment, the power of the Glupteba botnet could be leveraged for use in a powerful ransomware or distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack,” Google noted in its lawsuit, shared with Threatpost on Tuesday.
The botnet’s operators also offer a slate of underground cybercrime-as-a-service offerings.
“While analyzing Glupteba binaries, our team identified a few containing a git repository URL: git.voltronwork[dot] com, researchers explained. “This finding sparked an investigation that led us to identify, with high confidence, multiple online services offered by the individuals operating the Glupteba botnet. These services include selling access to virtual machines loaded with stolen credentials (dont[.]farm), proxy access (awmproxy), and selling credit-card numbers (extracard) to be used for other malicious activities such as serving malicious ads and payment fraud on Google Ads.”
To defang the beast, TAG disrupted “key command-and-control infrastructure so those operating Glupteba should no longer have control of their botnet — for now,” the group’s vice president of security Royal Hansen and general counsel Halimah DeLaine Prado said in a Tuesday posting.
The operation included terminating 63 million Google Docs used to distribute Glupteba, 1,313 Google accounts, 908 cloud projects and 870 Google Ads accounts; and, working with CloudFlare and others, taking down servers and placing warning interstitial pages in front of malicious domains.
However, Hansen and Prado acknowledged that “Glupteba’s use of blockchain technology as a resiliency mechanism is notable here … the decentralized nature of blockchain allows the botnet to recover more quickly from disruptions, making them that much harder to shut down.”
Elaborating in a separate post, TAG researchers added that “the operators of Glupteba are likely to attempt to regain control of the botnet using a backup command-and-control mechanism that uses data encoded on the Bitcoin blockchain.”
Specifically, the C2 uses HTTPS to communicate with infected devices; however, if for some reason that communication is disrupted, the infected systems can retrieve backup domains encrypted in the latest transaction from various Bitcoin wallet addresses.
As the takedowns of Emotet and TrickBot showed, these types of networks do tend to resurge weeks or months after technical action is taken. So, as an extra layer of disruption, Google also filed a lawsuit in the Southern District of New York against Russian nationals Dmitry Starovikov and Alexander Filippov.
The two are being sued for computer fraud and abuse, trademark infringement, violations under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), tortious interference of business relationships, unjust enrichment, and other allegations.
“Our litigation was filed against the operators of the botnet, who we believe are based in Russia,” Hansen and Prado wrote. “We also filed a temporary restraining order to bolster our technical disruption effort. If successful, this action will create real legal liability for the operators.”

Iran has confirmed that two Tor-M1 surface-to-air missiles were fired at the Ukrainian Airlines Flight PS752 that crashed near Tehran earlier this month.
The Civil Aviation Organisation of Iran (CAOI) said the Russian-made missiles were launched from the north.
The country’s civil aviation authority said it has yet to receive a positive response after requesting technical assistance from France and the US to decode black boxes from the plane that crashed shortly after takeoff from Tehran on January 8, killing all 176 people on board.
“Investigators … discovered that two Tor-M1 missiles… were fired at the aircraft,” Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization said in a preliminary report posted on its website late on Monday.
However, the report said, “the impact of these missiles on the accident and the analysis of this action is under investigation”.
According to the report, the Kyiv-bound Boeing 737-800 took off from runway 29R at Imam Khomeini International Airport at 06:12 a.m. local time on January 8th and was then delivered to approach unit at Mehrabad Airport in the capital.
From 06.18 a.m. onward, the radar controller repeatedly tried to contact the pilot as the flight information was lost, but he received no answer, it added.
The radar data showed the plane was flying at an altitude of 8,100 feet, but the aircraft identification and altitude information later disappeared from the radar screen.
No radio messages were received from the pilot regarding unusual circumstances.
After samples were examined at the crash site, the possibility of laser and electromagnetic (radioactive) rays having hit the aircraft was excluded.
Samples were taken to indicate whether there was an explosion inside or outside of the airplane. Preliminary examinations suggest the need for the plane wreck to be subjected to thorough investigation for possible traces of explosives.
The report further noted that the black boxes feature cutting-edge technology and Iran lacks the technical facilities to decode them.
“If devices are provided, the information (on the black boxes) can be restored and retrieved in a short period of time,” it added.
The Civil Aviation Organization requested from the US and French accident investigation agencies to provide Tehran with a list of equipment required to decode the black boxes and examine the possibility of them being transferred to Iran.
Neither of the organizations had responded positively, and Iran was considering purchasing the equipment itself.
As reported, on January 20th, at a meeting between President of Ukraine Volodymyrr Zelensky and Iran’s President’s Special Representative Mohammad Eslami in Kyiv, it was said that a group of Iranians would arrive in Ukraine to familiarize themselves with Ukraine’s technical capabilities for decrypting the black boxes of the downed plane.
The TOR surface to air missile system is designated for destroying airplanes, helicopters, cruise missiles, precision-guided munitions, unmanned aerial vehicles, and short-range ballistic threats. The two missiles being launched are in line with a video that was released to the web, showing that allegedly two launches took place.

Preparation time: 40 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Double Vanilla Biscuits
Whatever the time of year or day of the week, these doubly vanilla-ry biscuits from Harriet's LittlePod Diet blog can always be relied on to accompany a nice cup of earl grey and five minutes of thinking time.
115g caster sugar
65g polyunsaturated margarine
1 small egg, lightly beaten
1 tbsp golden syrup
1 tbsp lemon juice
1.5 tsp LittlePod vanilla paste
175g plain flour
0.5 tsp bicarbonate of soda
0.5 tsp baking powder
1 tsp mixed spice
50g icing sugar
1 tsp LittlePod vanilla extract
1 tsp (ish) hot water
1. Mix the sugar and marg in a large bowl with an electric whisk until it is smooth. Add the egg, golden syrup, lemon juice and LittlePod vanilla paste and whisk some more.
2. In another bowl, sift the flour, bicarb, baking powder and mixed spice and mix. Add the dry mixture to the first bowl a little at a time, beating thoroughly. You're aiming for a stiff dough, so if you're mixing isn't making any difference, sift some more flour in a little at a time.
3. Divide this mix into two balls and wrap each ball in cling film and leave in the fridge for 30min. Preheat your oven to 180C/350F/Gas mark 4.
4. Lightly spray 2 baking trays with cooking spray. Lightly flour your worktop and knead the two balls of dough together again. Now roll it evenly so it's about 0.5cm thick all over. Use your cute cutter and transfer them over to the trays, leaving a gap of at least 2cm between each shape. Re-roll and repeat to use as much of the dough as possible. (I added eyes to my birds at this point with a skewer.) Put in the oven for about 8min, check and turn after 5min. You want them to be an even golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack.
5. When they're completely cooled, mix the LittlePod vanilla extract and icing sugar to make a delicious icing. Use an icing bag to draw something pretty on each of your biscuits, it doesn't need to be the same each time! Let the icing dry, then keep the biscuits in an airtight container for up to 4 days, if they last that long!

Two pit bulls belonging to former NFL star wide receiver Demaryius Thomas attacked a woman and her dog on Thursday, police said.
Jennifer Savage of Georgia required stitches after being bit on her arms and legs, while her dog, Berkley, needed surgery following the alleged attack.
Savage told WSB-TV that she was on her front lawn when the pit bulls charged at her while growling and showing their teeth.
“We tumbled down a hill with the pit bulls and all of a sudden I remember being on top of Berkley, shielding his body from them while they were taking huge chunks out of him,” Savage said.
Police traced the dogs back to Thomas, the 32-year-old free agent who played for the Jets last season and won a Super Bowl with the Broncos in 2016.

We demonstrate the excitation control of long-range surface plasmon polaritons (LRSPs) by experiments and simulations. We find that LRSPs and short-range surface plasmon polaritons can be selectively excited by two incident beams. This mechanism enables us to realize the excitation control of LRSPs using the phase difference or the intensity ratio between the two input signals. The excitation method analyzed here can be applied to active plasmonic devices based on LRSPs.

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are electromagnetic waves coupled to collective electron oscillations on the surface of a metal. SPPs offer unique properties, including high field confinement and strong field enhancement beyond the diffraction limit [1, 2]. This remarkable capability opens unique prospects for the design of nano optical integrated circuits [3–9].
One of the main components of optical circuits based on SPPs is the plasmonic waveguide (PWG). Especially, the symmetrical slab PWG (a thin metal film embedded in dielectrics) is a good candidate for real applications, because of the ease of fabrication due to the planar structure. For the symmetrical slab PWG, the SPPs on the upper and lower metal-dielectric interfaces are coupled with each other, and form long-range SPPs (LRSPs) or short-range SPPs (SRSPs), depending on the symmetry of the electromagnetic fields [10–12]. The LRSPs have comparatively lower loss and can be applied to transmission lines [13–15], optical modulators [16,17] and optical amplifiers [18,19]. On the other hand, although the SRSPs have much higher propagation loss, unique phenomena including nanoguiding [20–22] and superfocusing  can be realized.
The two SPP modes are usually excited by using a grating coupler , a prism coupler  or and an end-fire method  by one input light. However, since the control of the field distribution of SPP modes is nearly impossible with the ordinary methods, the excitation control including excitation efficiency modulation and mode selection has not been achieved until now. This problem has prevented the further development of LRSP and SRSP applications.
The excitation efficiency of LRSPs and SRSPs will depend on the symmetry of the electromagnetic fields formed by the input light. We have already showed the theoretical analysis of the excitation of SPPs using two input lights for controlling the symmetry of the field distribution in a previous work . When an input coupler is illuminated by two beams, the symmetry of the field of an excited SPP mode is greatly dependent on the phase difference. This method has a high potential for the excitation control of SPP modes in symmetrical slab PWGs.
In this paper, we report the first experimental demonstration of the excitation control of LRSPs by two incident lights. By changing the phase difference or the intensity ratio between the two input signals, the excitation efficiency of the SPP modes in the PWG can be controlled, resulting in the strongly modulated signal of the LRSPs at the output. These results show that our excitation method can be applied to a plasmonic direct modulator and a plasmonic logic gate circuit.
2. Basic concept of selective excitation
Our excitation method is based on the control of the symmetry of the electromagnetic fields. In symmetrical slab PWGs, SPP modes are divided into two modes, LRSPs and SRSPs, based on the symmetry of the magnetic field distribution: the LRSPs and SRSPs show symmetrical and antisymmetrical field distribution, respectively (Fig. 1 Inset). We control these field distributions by the phase difference Δϕ of the two incident beams’ magnetic field, and change the excitation efficiency of the two SPP modes, as shown in Fig. 1.
When the film edge of the PWG is illuminated by two beams from the upper and lower sides, the symmetry of a SPP mode depends on the phase difference between the two beams. Figure 2 shows the finite–difference time–domain (FDTD) analyses of the SPP excitation by two input lights (wavelength 635 nm, same intensity and z–axis polarization) in SiO2–Ag–SiO2 structure (Ag thickness 30 nm). In the case of Δϕ = 0, the field distribution (Ey) shows symmetry, resulting in a strong LRSP excitation (Fig. 2(a)). On the other hand, in the case of Δϕ = π, an antisymmetrical field is formed, and the SRSPs are thereby excited selectively (Fig. 2(b)). These results show that the excitation of the SPP modes strongly depends on Δϕ. The excitation control can be achieved based on this mechanism.
In principle, the concept based on two incident beams can be applied to the excitation control of both LRSPs and SRSPs. However, in the case of SRSPs, it is very difficult to demonstrate the excitation control, due to its much higher propagation loss. In contrast, since LRSPs have comparatively lower propagation loss, it is easy to observe the output signal. Therefore, LRSPs are the mode suitable for the demonstration. In this research, we experimentally show the excitation control, focusing on LRSPs.
3. Fabrication and experimental setup
Because symmetrical slab PWGs consist of a metal film embedded in dielectrics, the SPP imaging based on a near–field microscopy [28–30] cannot be used to observe the SPP propagation. Instead, a taper structure as an output coupler  is one of the ways to achieve the observation of SPP signals; we observe SPP signals as scattered light at the taper tip of the PWG. This method makes it easy to observe the LRSP signals in the symmetrical slab PWG, and is also very suitable for our experiments.
The geometry of the symmetrical slab PWG is shown in Fig. 3(a). The PWG is fabricated on a glass substrate covered in SiO2. The thickness of SiO2 (2 μm) is sufficiently larger than half of the beam width of the LRSP. To fabricate the patterned Ag film, the substrate is first coated with a layered stack consisting of a positive electron beam resist (ZEP520A) and a conductive polymer (ESPACER 300Z). The PWG structure is patterned in the electron beam resist layer with electron beam lithography. After removing the conductive polymer layer and the exposed resist, a 30 nm thick Ag film is evaporated directly on the substrate. The remaining resist is then stripped in a liftoff process. Finally, the substrate is coated with an index-matched polymer (GA700H, n = 1.46) of the thickness 10 μm.
An optical microscope image of the PWG is shown in Fig. 3(b). The width of the PWG is 5 μm, and the triangularly shaped tapered structure starts at a distance of 5 μm from the edge. The taper structure has a base width of 5 μm and a length of 16 μm (taper angle 17.8°). The length between the edge and the tip (21 μm) is significantly larger than the propagation length of the SRSPs (∼ 1 μm). Therefore, only LRSPs (propagation length ∼ 42 μm) can reach the tip and be observed.
Figure 4 shows the schematic of the experimental geometry. The laser beam (wavelength 635 nm) is split into two beams (intensity I1, I2) by a beam splitter (BS). The phase difference between the two beams is controlled using the delay line of a piezo actuator (resolution 10 nm) in one of the beam paths. Moreover, the intensity ratio I2/I1 between the two beams can be varied by a neutral density (ND) filter. The two beams are focused onto the edge of the PWG from the upper and lower sides by using objectives (50, NA = 0.55), with the polarization of the electric field along the z–axis. The signal from the tip is recorded by a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) detector.
4. Results and discussion
Figure 5 shows the experimentally measured scattering intensity from the tip as a function of the phase difference Δϕ between the two incident beams (I2/I1 = 1). As the phase difference Δϕ is monotonically increased, the scattering intensity varies in an oscillatory manner between a maximum (Δϕ = 0, 2π, 4π, · · ·) and a minimum (Δϕ = π, 3π, 5π, · · ·) value. The ratio of the maximum to minimum intensity is 5.7, corresponding to a modulation depth of (max – min)/max = 0.82. The maximum modulation depth at the output occurs when the intensities of the two input lights are equal to each other (I2/I1 = 1). These results are in close agreement with the FDTD simulations for the fabricated waveguide dimensions.
The optical images and the simulated field distributions for the Δϕ = 0 and Δϕ = π are shown in Fig. 6. A clear difference is noticeable between Δϕ = 0 and Δϕ = π in experiments. For the Δϕ = 0, the strong scattering from the tip can be observed (Fig. 6(a)). In contrast, for the Δϕ = π, the scattering from the tip is very weak (Fig. 6(b)).
The dependence of the output signals on the phase difference can be explained through a variation in the excitation efficiency of SPP modes. In the case of Δϕ = 0, the excitation efficiency of LRSPs is significantly higher than that of SRSPs, because of the field distribution formed by the two incident beams, as shown in Fig. 2(a). Furthermore, propagation of the LRSPs to the tip can be obtained in the simulation (Fig. 6(c)). Therefore, the selectively excited LRSP reaches the tip, with low loss, and is observed as a strong output signal (Fig. 6(a)). On the other hand, for the Δϕ = π, only SRSPs show high excitation efficiency by forming an antisymmetrical field (Fig. 2(b)). As shown in Fig. 6(d), although SRSPs with high excitation efficiency can be observed near the edge (input), they cannot reach the tip and never contribute to the scattering at the tip, because of high propagation loss. Only a minute amount of LRSPs excited simultaneously with the SRSPs at the edge is observed as an output signal in the case of Δϕ = π. Therefore, the output signal is very weak (Fig. 6(b)) compared with the case of Δϕ = 0. Similarly, at other phase differences, the excitation efficiency of LRSP and SRSP will vary, depending on the formed field distribution, resulting in the modulated output signal as shown in Fig. 5.
Considering the symmetry of the field distribution, the output signal can also be modulated by changing the intensity ratio I2/I1 between the two input beams. Figure 7 shows the experimentally measured scattering intensity from the tip as a function of I2/I1, for the phase difference Δϕ = π. As the intensity ratio I2/I1 is increased from 0 to 1, the output intensity gradually decreases, which is in good agreement with the FDTD simulations. The lowest intensity (at I2/I1 = 1) is less than half of those observed by one beam excitation (that is I2/I1 = 0).
This phenomenon can also be understood as excitation efficiency depending on the field distribution. For the I2/I1 = 1 and Δϕ = π, an antisymmetrical field is formed (Fig. 2(b)), resulting in the low excitation efficiency of the LRSPs. However, if the intensity of one side beam decreases, the antisymmetry is broken because the intensity of SPPs excited at the upper and lower metal–dielectric interfaces is different and mismatched. Therefore, additional LRSPs will be excited from the complicated field distribution caused by decreasing I2/I1, and some output signals will thereby be observed even if Δϕ = π. The difference of the minimum value at the I2/I1 = 1 between the experiments and simulations can also be due to the disorder of field distribution caused by imperfections in the fabrication of the input edge.
The experiments presented in Fig. 5 and Fig. 7 reveal that two incident beams can control the excitation of LRSPs. To our knowledge, this is the first report about experimental demonstration of the excitation control of SPP modes. In the excitation method analyzed here, it is possible to modulate the excitation efficiency of LRSPs by controlling the phase difference between two input lights. If the phase difference is fixed to π, the control of the LRSP excitation by the intensity ratio is also realized. These functions lead to active plasmonic devices  including modulators, switching and logic gates based on LRSPs.
In addition, although we focused on LRSPs in symmetrical slab PWGs in this research, the excitation of SPP modes in other PWGs, i.e. asymmetrical slab PWGs and metal gap PWGs, can be controlled by two incident beams. The excitation method analyzed here can be applied to these waveguides, and they will be a powerful platform for the active plasmonics.
We have demonstrated experimentally that the excitation of LRSPs can be controlled by two incident beams. We have shown the LRSPs modulated by the phase difference or the intensity ratio between the two beams. These results indicate that the excitation control can be applied to active plasmonic devices including modulators, switching and logic gates based on LRSPs. We expect that our findings will further highlight the wide photonic functionality made available by SPPs.

Watch: Ramsdale picks out Arsenal team-mate with great volleyed pass
It’s fair to say that Aaron Ramsdale stole the show during Arsenal‘s 2-0 win over Leicester City at the ing Power Stadium.
Ramsdale kept a clean sheet and made great saves, including an outstanding double save to claw out James Maddison’s free-kick and then deny Jonny Evans from the rebound.
“It’s just all about reactions,” Ramsdale said after the game. “I was more worried that he was going to reverse it into my corner but as it was a close free-kick, he sort of had to get it up and over the wall and that gave me a chance.
“He couldn’t really whip it like he normally does. From then on, it’s about the explosion. If you get there, you get there and if not, you don’t. I’ll watch it back. It’s just one of those that can go either way.”
The England Under-21 international has also shown his impressive distribution skills in recent weeks, helping set up Arsenal attacks.
During the 26th minute against Leicester, he picked out team-mate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang with a brilliant volleyed pass that is shown in the clip below.

Sony has unveiled the final design of the Playstation VR2, the new virtual reality helmet for the Playstation 5. This follows the confirmation of the product’s existence and name during Sony’s presentation at the CES show in January. But will Playstation VR2 be wireless?
The PlayStation VR2 will not be wireless when it launches on the PS5. Sony made this somewhat disappointing announcement when it officially unveiled the PS VR2. With only one cable connecting the headset to the console, the connection should be simpler.
How Is The Design Of PS VR2?
According to Sony director Hideaki Nishino on the Playstation Blog, the design is inspired by the Playstation 5 design, and the design team behind the console itself also had the VR glasses in mind when they made it.
The new headset should be slightly smaller and lighter than the previous model (the current version weighs about 600 grams), and it will include a new switch to adjust the distance between the lenses, allowing them to better fit the distance between your eyes.
It also has a new motor for vibration feedback and a new valve for improved airflow while playing.
Most people who have used VR headsets before can probably vouch for the fact that it can be a pretty sweaty experience, so I sincerely hope Sony has improved the “cooling.”
Sony also shows the final design of the new “Sense” controllers, in addition to the headset itself.
How Is The Screen Resolution On PS VR2?
We already know that PS VR2 will have significantly higher resolution, going from 960 x 1080 per eye on the current PS VR to 2000 x 2040 on PS VR 2. It is roughly four times as many pixels as the popular Oculus Quest 2, which has 1832 x 1920 pixels per eye.
According to Sony’s specifications, the field of view should be increased from 100 to 110 degrees, and the glasses will include eye tracking that developers can use in games.
Does PS VR2 Have Inside-Out Tracking?
The PS VR2, like the Oculus Quest 2, will have so-called “inside-out tracking,” which means that the VR glasses will be able to track both you and the controllers without the use of external sensor boxes or cameras, as the original PS VR was.
The glasses have their own vibration motor, and the Sense controllers will have the same “haptic” trigger effect as regular Playstation 5 controllers. When firing an arrow, for example, it should be possible to feel the tension of the string in the cabin.
When Will Playstation VR2 Be Released?
We do not currently have a release date for PSVR2 but I will update this post as soon as the date is released. The only thing we know is that it’s planned to be released sometime in 2022.
Espen is the Director of PursuitMeta and has written extensively about Virtual Reality and VR Headsets for years. He is a consumer product expert and has personally tested VR Headsets for the last decade.

The New York Knicks finished off the road Monday with a 129-119 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder at the Paycom Center. They’ve had well-deserved rest over the next few days until they return to Madison Square Garden for their Black Friday matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers.
That’s not good news for the orange and blue family, though. Mostly due to injuries to Derrick Rose and Cam Reddish during a positive 3-2 trip.
Mitchell Robinson seemed ready to go the opposite way, in fact he returned to the court against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday… Mitch left the game against OKC for the second game in a row after experiencing right knee soreness. He was taken out of the game in the fourth quarter.
Robinson has missed all games played since November 4th. After the away game against Phoenix, Robinson treated his knee and scored his first 17 minutes after returning, saying he was “going to be fine” and that he “needed to get back”. shape, conditioning.” The comment came after an outing in which Mitch finished with 2 points, 4 boards and 2 swatting shots.
It was a rather bad basketball night for someone who rules the paint too much. Robinson shared some rather worrisome comments about the mid-outing to justify the fact that he had braces on his knees.
“I know [the brace] It’s there,” said Robinson. “My mind is constantly thinking about it instead of playing. so i think [have to] Find a way to go with it.” As a professional basketball player with many years of experience, it’s kind of surprising to talk about accessories that way. Robinson also said, “It’s there to some degree. I know it’s there. Of course I don’t want to get hurt again.”
After Monday’s game, manager Tom Thibodeau also said Robinson’s absence was due to “a little sickness” and was “to be expected”.
“It will be a daily task. [Tuesday] It will be a great day for recovery and rehabilitation. But he is coming along.” We’re still waiting for an update on Robinson’s knee and his condition ahead of Friday’s game at home to host Portland.
Derrick Rose did not play Monday after suffering an injury (right toe sore) at Phoenix on Sunday. Miles McBride totaled 29 minutes between the two matches a few days ago and yesterday. back set.
Cam Reddish has sat out the last two games after suffering a groin injury. In his last few matches he has been labeled “daily”, but has not recovered in time, leaving his court away from home.
Reddish said Friday’s injury was “almost as painless” as the one he suffered in 2019 while playing college basketball for Duke, and should return soon. “I couldn’t walk when it tore,” he said of his 2019 injury. “I’m fine now.”

Mix of slow cooker with roasted fresh veggies & beef
A couple of months ago, I made a slow cooker recipe with beef, bacon, cognac, beef bone broth, caramelized carrots & onions, rosemary, etc.
Recipe told me to cook it in a slow cooker on low for 6 hours. Turned out, 4 hours would have been plenty. Everything was dead and done. Flavour was rich but bland. We are told to let ingredients marry - well, these ingredients were married and amicably divorced.
So I put the stew into a container and froze it.
This weekend I thought I might rescue this stew by roasting some beef and vegetables and putting some of all three into a warm bowl for dinner.
Strategy worked out great! Veggies were al dente / crisp. Meat was freshly roasted. Slow cooker stew added depth and flavour.
This is my new Go To beef stew recipe.

Heidi Garner –
This is a fantastic way to get started really easily!


The Soros-funded, summer jobs program that is the hashtag Black Lives Matter movement trickled down to Maine yesterday, and despite the 92% humidity, both pathos and irony were thicker than the air.
[After way too long a break from posting, here’s how I feel…]
I sat on the story. Dammit! I had the story. I liked the story, a lot. I outlined it, roughed out a couple potential opening paragraphs. Each could easily be transformed into a transitioning 2nd paragraph, when the time came.
[Here’s a piece I wrote about Chop Point School, as it appeared in the Brunswick Times Record on March 8th.]
In late winter each year, the 11th and 12th grade students of Chop Point School in Woolwich embark on a journey that is transformational for each of them and holds the promise of positively impacting the lives of the children who live at the city dump in Managua, Nicaragua.
Yes, that’s right, the children who live at the city dump. Continue reading “Transformational Mission Trips”
Growing up in Chicago and her suburbs in the 1960s/70s provided for a very media-rich upbringing, although I was unaware at the time just how muscular it was. When we weren’t out exploring alleyways, finding mud holes to disrupt, or playing motorcycle gang wars on our banana-seated bicycles, I could be found lying on the living room floor with either one of two daily newspapers splayed out in front of me like some kind of map to the world, with local radio playing in the background. TV was likely on simultaneously, and I can still absorb and identify up to five stimuli at the same time. Continue reading “Studs Terkel & Jerry Garcia”
I predict this coming summer will find more residents of Mid Coast Maine, where I live, wearing Bernie Sanders t-shirts than the current favorite, Che Guevara model. The women will still sport the obligatory side-crew cuts and the men ponytails, but the go-to-T-shirt will change for the first time in decades!
It’s also logical to assume that, had Che not been executed in 1967 at the age of thirty-nine, he might very well be making campaign appearances on Mr. Sanders’ behalf today, even in his late eighties. They might at least be spotted fighting over the breakfast tab at a diner.
I admit to not being a very good Catholic. I just don’t practice enough. But I do love the Church. Even if I don’t get there very often any more, I am comforted by Her presence.
Lent is upon us, so I’ve got that going for me! Wandering around and fasting in the wilderness, followed by the promise of a rebirth of faith and life. The original Hope & Change!
I didn’t write this poem so much as it summoned itself through my pencil… Continue reading “Lenten Poem – Fixed in His Freedom”
Unless you’re a football policy wonk who prefers a defensive matchup to a game featuring long pass completions and breakaway runs for daylight, Super Bowl “L” was a big Loser. With the Denver Broncos offense gaining fewer yards than any Super Bowl victor in recent memory, and the petulant Cam Newton showing up just long enough to pout his way out of his post-game press conference, the Big Game seemed to be the first in NFL history played with no quarterbacks.
The night, however, was a big success for pro-life football fans. One need look no further than NARAL’s own Twitter feed to see how a simple game of football, that modern descendent of the gladiator battles of old, had the old GRRs (Grannie’s for Reproductive Rights) typing away furiously, using all 140 characters available to express their outrage at the baby-friendly, anti-feminazi messages being projected into living rooms the world over.

More than a million books are published a year. How can you make you and your books and stand out in an ever-growing multitude of authors? By building a brand that will become an ever more powerful tool for serving your fans and attracting new readers. Create a literary identity that is durable, agile, authentic, engaged, original, responsive, innovative, and commercial enough to achieve your financial goals. Either your name, like Stephen King, or your books, like the Chicken Soup series, can become your brand.
Here are five steps for capturing the essence of who you are as a writer:
1. Write books that sell each other. Find an idea for a series you’re passionate about writing and promoting.
2. Provide experiences readers love. Give your books maximum impact.
3. Integrate how you serve your communities. Unify how you write, speak, dress, act, communicate, relate to people, and your colors, typeface, and design in a way that lets your voice, personality, and desire to serve shine through.
4. Share your passion for the value of your books and ideas to gain your readers’ affection, respect, and loyalty. Make providing content and service a labor of love for your craft, your field, and your readers.
5. Keep adding to the lifetime value of your readers by maintaining an awareness of you and your work. You will create a community of evangelists who buy whatever you produce and share their passion for you and your books.
* Follow what authors, especially those in your field, are doing.
* Get feedback on your efforts to help ensure they’re effective.
* Keep learning from readers how to serve them better.

Yoga can work for many different types of bodies, many different stages in life, and for each person's many different moods. While for some a Power Yoga class may seem like the way to go, for others a gentle restorative or Yin Yoga class may be optimal. For some people their needs change daily. However, the restorative effects of yoga should never be over-looked, no matter what age, and sometimes slowing down the practice, going deeper in poses, and just feeling the restorative power of them does wonders for the body.
Benefits of Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga focuses on relaxing the body in restful postures. Note that 'rest' is different than sleep. Rest provides the body an oppotunity to renew and heal. Countless studies have proven the physical and emotional benefits of this.
Restorative yoga, as well as other forms of yoga, help to trigger the Parasympathetic nervous system also known as the PNS. The PNS is responsible for balancing the body and bringing its response system back into equalibrium. Stimulating the PNS helps to lower heart rate, blood pressure; it helps to healthily stimulate the immune system and keep the endocrine system operating healthily. When this system gets out of whack, or when the Sympathetic nervous system, SNS gets over-stimulated, the PNS helps to bring all back in balance. It is believed that is the PNS is tapped out or under-active, illness pervades. Thus, forms of relaxation, such as yoga and meditation, that help to stimulate the PNS are generally beneficial for overall body health.
David Spiegel, M.D., author of Living Beyond Limits, reports, "In medicine, we are learning that physical problems, such as high blood pressure and heart disease, can be influenced by psychological interventions, such as relaxation training. Indeed, the Food and Drug Administration issued a report recommending these non-drug approaches as the treatment of choice for milder forms of hypertension. Mind and body are connected and must work together, and this should be a powerful asset in treating medical illness."
Recommended Props for Restorative Yoga
The more your body is supported in poses the deeper the sense of relaxation. With props it is easier for the body to get into certain poses, and thus, surrender to the pose. Essential props include (note, not all of these need to be used in every class):
4 Recommended Restorative Poses
While there are many restorative yoga poses, here are 3 basic ones that can help you to get started in a restorative practice. You will feel the benefits right away and you can practice them at home:
Note: Everyone's body is different and some people may be uncomfortable in all variations of these poses. It is most important to listen to your body and not push it beyond its limits.
1. Simple Supported Back-bend:
This pose is outlined in Judith Lasater's book called Relax and Renew. It helps to stretch the lower and middle back. It opens the chest and the shoulders as it releases stress that may have accumulated from sitting, working at a desk or in front of a computer.
- Fold your blanket in half and place it on your mat. Place the bolster on top of the blanket, the long side parallel with the width of your mat. *
- Sit in front of the bolster and start lying over it sideways. So that you are lying on your side over the bolster. Once you feel stable, roll onto your back, using your elbows to support you if need be.
- Use your hand to support your neck as you lower your back down over the bolster. Aim to lie over the bolster so that it is supporting your middle back and so that your shoulders are resting comfortably on the floor (not on the bolster.)
- If you have a long torso, you will want to increase the height of the bolster by adding a folded blanket on top of it. If you have a short torso, you may need to use a rolled yoga mat or blanket in lieu of a bolster. The goal for all is to have the shoulder touching the floor and the head resting comfortably so the neck is not crunched or over-stretched.
- Place an eyebag over your eyes and begin the breath deeply. Stay here for 30 seconds, breathing, then evaluate the position to see how your lower back feels. If you have any discomfort, slide up over the bolster slightly (moving your head farther away from it,) so that it is hitting a lower part of your back.
- Make sure that your chest is opening in this pose and that your ribs are moving away from your lower abdomen (and abdominal organs).
2. Viparita Karani:
The non-Sanskrit name of Viparita Karani is Legs Up the Wall pose. Putting the legs up the wall is a very gentle way to do an inversion. It brings blood to the head and heart; and it can be practiced by those who are not inverting (such as those with high blood pressure or those on their menstural cycle.)
- Use a yoga bolster or fold and stack 2 thick blankets, creating a support that is 6 inches high and long enough to prop your hips and lower back.
- Place the blankets or bolster (length is parallel to wall) a few inches away from the wall.
- Curl your legs into the chest and turn onto your left side. Use your left arm as a support, and then roll onto your right hip while sweeping your legs up against the wall.
- Place your back and hips on the blanket. Your body should be in a straight line from navel to top of head and it should be perpendicular to the wall. The bolster or blankets should be supporting from the top of your tailbone all the way to your mid-back.
- your shoulder blades do not need to be on the blanets but should be resting comfortably on the floor.
- Try to keep your legs straight and aim to have the back of your thighs lying against the wall. To do this, try climbing each leg up the wall to get your hips closer to the wall. (If this is a problem for your hamstrings, slide your support away from the way and make sure there is a gap between your thighs and the wall.)
- Place an eyebag over your eyes and begin to breath. Allow your breath to relax your body as you settle into the position.
- Stay here for anywhere from 3-20 miuntes, or as long as it feels good. Just remember to continue to breath into your lower belly, and to allow your body- joints and muscles to open into the posture.
3. Supported Paschimottanasana (forward fold):
This posture is good for people with lower back problems or tight hamstrings. It is a wonderful posture to rest in as while opening the leg muscles and stretching the back.
- Sit in Dandasana on your mat- legs outstretching, ankles together, hands pushing into earth by hips.
- Place a bolster or a rolled blanket underneath your knees. This way your knees are comfortably bent. This is especially important for anyone who has a knee or hamstring injury.
- Take a pillow and place it on your legs or lap, or wherever is best so that you can rest your upper body on it as you fold over your legs.
- As you begin to slowly fold over your legs, you should make sure that you feel no pain. A comfortable stretching sensation is good, but if you feel any pain in the legs or in the back, increase the height of the blankets under your legs.
- You may want to use a block to prop your head on top of the pillow- so there is no strain in the neck or shoulders.
- Close your eyes and breath here for as long as you want. Allowing your body to relax and open into the posture.
4. Adho Mukha Virasana (downward facing supported hero):
This pose is also known as supported child's pose. It can be very restorative for a number of ailments and conditions.
This posture is good for people with fatigue, headaches, hypertension, neck problems, indigestion, menstrual pain / PMS.
- Sit on your mat on your knees with your knees spread apart.
- Place a bolster or two between your legs and pull it in towards you.
- Lie down onto the bolster and place your arms out in front to either side.
- Place your face nose down in a towel cradle or spend equal time on each cheek.
- Move the bolsters and add or subtract support until there is little tension in your thighs and low back.
- Stay here and breath slowly and deeply for 2 or more minutes.
When to Practice
Restorative yoga postures can be practiced at any time of the day. Ideally, one would start their day with yin poses and breath work. It is a great way to wake up the body and clear the mind before launching into the day. It is also beneficial to practice restorative postures at the end of the day, before bed. This can slow the body and mind down, and prepare the body for sleep. Many who practice restorative postures (at any time of the day), find that they sleep better and their energy levels are higher.
- Judith Hanson Lasater has written a few books on restorative yoga poses; for more information, visit her website, Judithlasater.com.
- If you are looking for other passive practices, here are many books on Yin Yoga; one of the most well-known is called Yin Yoga and was written by Paul Grilley. Keep in mind, while Yin Yoga is a quiet practice, it is very different from (and should not be considered the same as) restorative yoga.

As evenings become cooler and crisper and the daylight gets shorter and shorter, it’s a signal that frost is not too far away. The change in temperature and season can leave gardeners longing for the warm summer air, instead of prepping for winter.
There’s still plenty of gardening to be done this time of year. Get the most out of your fall harvest and set your garden up for spring success by jumping on these garden tasks now.
6 Tips for Fall Gardening
It’s no secret that the best time to plant a tree or shrub is in the fall. Before you plant, evaluate the landscape to assess the amount of sunlight, ground vegetation, proximity to permanent structures, and hazards, such as overhead wires or underground pipes. Choose a site where the tree will be able to grow to its mature height. Then, dig a hole twice as wide and the same depth as the root ball. Place the tree in the hole at the same depth it was growing before and fill half the hole with compost or Espoma’s All Purpose Garden Soil. Mix in an organic fertilizer such as Bio-tone Starter Plus with the soil. Backfill the hole, give it a nice drink of water and watch your tree grow.
Get Bulbs in the Ground
Spring-blooming bulbs can generally be planted any time before the soil begins to freeze. Give bulbs their best shot by planting a few weeks before the ground is frozen to help them establish roots. Be sure to add in a scoop of Bulb-tone to each planting hole.
Improve the Soil
While fall is for planting, it’s also the perfect time for prepping for next season. Healthy soil is the backbone of every successful garden. Test soil now for pH and nutrient levels and amend accordingly. Dig 4” deep with a stainless steel trowel and either use a DIY soil test or send your soil sample to the county extension office.
To adjust the PH level of your soil, use Espoma’s Organic Garden Lime to raise the pH of very acidic soil. Poke holes in the soil’s surface and scatter on the lime. Rake lightly into the top inch of soil. Or, apply Espoma’s Soil Acidifier to lower the pH of extremely alkaline soil.
All of those colorful leaves that are falling make for perfect additions to your compost pile. If you don’t have a compost pile already, start one! The best compost contains about 25 times more carbon-rich materials than nitrogen-rich materials. Think of these as brown and green materials. Brown materials include paper, straw or dried leaves. Green materials include garden and food scraps. Add Espoma’s Compost Starter to help speed the composting process, for rich, fertile compost.
Top with Mulch
Add a thick blanket of mulch to reduce evaporation and control weeds.
Choose organic mulch that will improve the soil as it decomposes. Lay 2 – 3” of mulch around established plants.
When mulching trees, the mulch should extend away from the plant to just beyond the drip line covering a bit of the roots. Keep 2 – 3” away from the stems of woody plants and 6 – 12” away from buildings to avoid pests.
Prep and harvest fall crops
If it looks like frost will arrive earlier than expected, protect your crops and extend your growing season by covering with a sheet, blanket or tarp. Use stakes to keep the cover from touching the plants.

Speaking in parliament, Famellos said that the land is classified as a public forest area which can only be used for the needs of bathers and any type of construction on it is forbidden.
“These are issues which should have been spotted by services. Not the services of the government, but of the local council. All of this must be used by the National Assembly so that it doesn’t happen again,” he said.

CityNews – A 31-year-old Lisu woman was murdered in her house in Chiang Mai’s Piang Luang sub-district last week.
Police and rescue workers outisde the victim’s house. Picture Credit: Wiang Hang Rescue.
Police found the body of A-sue Saeyang in the bedroom after they were called to the scene at around 8am on Tuesday.
Her throat had been slashed, and it is believed that she had been dead for at least 24 hours. A bloodstained nine-inch knife was next to the body.
Police believe there had been a struggle, as there was also a cut on her right hand and items were scattered around the room.
Neighbors said A-sue lived alone in her house, and her Burmese husband is currently in jail in Burma for drug offences. She was hired to work in nearby fields and was not involved with any illegal activities, they added.
Nothing appeared to have been stolen from the house. Police believe A-sue have been killed by a lover, or while fighting off an attempted rape. Enquiries are continuing.
