MADRID, No.16 CALLE SANTIAGO.
REVD. AND DEAR SIR, -- In a few days I shall leave Madrid for Seville; and being anxious to write a few lines before my departure in order that yourself and others friends may be acquainted with the exact state of affairs in Spain, I embrace the present opportunity. In the first place however I beg leave to apologise for not having ere this performed my promise of writing. Many causes unnecessary to recapitulate prevented me; but I steadfastly hope that already with your usual considerate goodness you have imputed my tardiness to anything but neglect.
A convoy starts for Andalusia on the 13th, and I intend to avail myself of it so far as to send therewith my servant Antonio with the horses and the Testaments which I destine for circulation in that province. I shall myself follow with the courier. True it is that I had determined to proceed by Estremadura, but circumstances have occurred which have induced me to alter my resolution. The roads in Spain are in a worse state than ever; and in Estremadura particularly, which for some time past has enjoyed a tolerable state of tranquillity, a band of Carlist robbers have lately made their appearance, who murder, make prisoner, or put at ransom every person who has the misfortune to fall into their hands. I therefore deem it wise to avoid, if possible, the alternative of being shot or having to pay one thousand pounds for being set at liberty, which has already befallen several individuals. It is moreover wicked to tempt Providence systematically. I have already thrust myself into more danger than was perhaps strictly necessary, and as I have been permitted hitherto to escape, it is better to be content with what it has pleased the Lord to do for me up to the present moment, than to run the risk of offending Him by a blind confidence in His forbearance, which may be over-taxed. As it is, however, at all times best to be frank, I am willing to confess that I am what the world calls exceedingly superstitious; perhaps the real cause of my change of resolution was a dream, in which I imagined myself on a desolate road in the hands of several robbers, who were hacking me with their long ugly knives.
We have been very successful of late, having, since my last letter to Mr. Brandram, sold no less than two hundred Bibles, so that not more than one hundred and fifty remain of the five hundred which were sent to me from Barcelona in sheets. I have discontinued selling Testaments in Madrid, as it appears to me that we shall have barely sufficient, unless something unforeseen occurs, for Andalusia and one or two other points which I wish to visit. When I recollect the difficulties which have encompassed our path, I can sometimes hardly credit all that the Almighty has permitted us to accomplish within the last year: a large edition of the New Testament almost entirely disposed of in the very centre of old, gloomy, fanatic Spain, in spite of the opposition and the furious cry of the sanguinary priesthood and the edicts of a tyrannical, deceitful Government; moreover a spirit of religious enquiry excited, which I have fervent hope will sooner or later lead to blessed and most important results. Till of late the name most abhorred and dreaded in these parts of Spain was that of Martin Luther, who was in general considered as a species of demon, a cousin-german to Belial and Beelzebub, who under the disguise of a man wrote and preached blasphemy against the Highest. Yet now, strange to say, this once abominated personage is spoken of with no slight degree of respect. People, with Bibles in their hands, not unfrequently visit me, enquiring with much earnestness and with no slight degree of simplicity for the writings of the great Doctor Martin, whom indeed some suppose to be still alive. It will be as well here to observe that of all the names connected with the Reformation, that of Luther is the only one known in Spain, and let me add that no controversial writings but his are likely to be esteemed as possessing the slightest weight or authority, however great their intrinsic merit may be. The printing, therefore, of tracts in the Spanish language, of the description hitherto adopted, appears to be pregnant with no good or benefit whatever. Of what might be the result of well-executed translations of judicious selections from the works of Luther, it is not my business to offer an opinion.
Before commencing this journey to Andalusia I must take the liberty of making one humble request to my friends of the Bible Society, which is to be patient. It may not be in my power to send them for a long time any flattering accounts of operations commenced there. I shall be surrounded with enemies, bitter, malignant, and powerful, against whose efforts it is very possible that I may not be able to stand my ground; or the books which I carry with me may be seized and sequestrated, in spite of all the plans which I have devised for their safety. The great failing of Protestants, in general, is a tendency to spring suddenly to the pinnacle of exultation, and as suddenly to fall to the lowest bathos of dejection, forgetting that the brightest day as well as the most gloomy night must necessarily have a termination. How far more wise are the members of that object of my undying detestation, the Church of Rome; from mixing with whom I have acquired one principal point of wisdom, which may be termed, Ever to expect evil, and ever to hope for good; by attending to which maxim we find that Church ever regaining the ground which it has lost. Yesterday seeming a lifeless stick, as in the case of England, to-day it is a magnificent tree, glorious with leaves and fruit. Excuse these observations which, I assure you, are well meant. No one acquainted with me will lay undue partiality to the Roman Church to my charge, yet there are some points about it which I highly admire; and you know well enough that it is lawful to receive instruction from an enemy.
I have been lately going through Morrison's Chinese Matthew. I confess that I am the merest tyro in the language, nevertheless I am compelled to state that upon the whole I do not like the translation. It appears to me that in various instances the characters are not grammatically placed; I mean, not as they are placed in the writings if the best Chinese authors to express the same ideas. Moreover he has translated the sacred Name by the character which the Chinese are in the habit of bestowing on the spirits whose idols they worship, and which is by no means applicable to the one great God, whom the missionaries of the Greek and Roman Churches for want of an equivalent in Chinese have always styled, and with justice [three Chinese characters] (tien tsz hwang), or King of Heaven. The Holy Ghost, he renders by tching fung, or Holy Wind, which is a Hebraism, and which can scarcely be understood by the Chinese. In Lipoftsoff's Mandchou version it is happily translated by the Holy Spirit. You will recollect that on my second return to Spain you requested me to look into Morrison's Testament, on which account I shall offer no excuse for these trifling remarks.
Do me the favour, my dear Sir, to inform Mr. Hitchin that within a day or two I shall send him another account of money received and disbursed. I hope you forwarded the packet containing the life of Ripoll to Mr. Forster. -- Having now said my say for the present, I have the honour to remain, Revd. and dear Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,

SuperData has just released its digital video game industry revenue data for September 2016, revealing that although revenue is up, what people are willing to pay for is a’changing.
September Digital Video Game Sales
Overall, September proved to be a successful one as the global market reached $6.2 billion—an increase of 5 percent over September 2015. Revenues were dominated by a growing mobile ($3 billion) and free-to-play MMO market that brought in $3 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively. Mobile game revenue enjoyed a growth of 11 percent over last September, largely due to the success of its number one game for the third month in a row . . . you guessed it, Pokémon GO. Mobile Strike holds its own at number two, followed by Clash Royale.
Pay-to-play MMOs experienced a 12 percent year-over-year growth thanks to a successful August launch of World of Warcraft: Legion. The wildly popular game holds its number two spot on the charts for a second month in a row behind free-to-play online game, League of Legends. Unchanged from August, Crossfire holds the number three spot for PC in September. Despite growth within the MMO genre, overall PC sales decreased six percent to $334.8 million and those in the Social genre dropped four percent to $618.3 million compared to September 2015.
Thanks to its Rise of Iron expansion, Bungie’s Destiny topped the September console charts, followed by newcomer, FIFA 17 and Call of Duty: Black Ops III holding its numerical equivalent. Overall, the global console market fared better than its PC cousins at $493 million, although it suffered a 14 percent decline from the previous year.
The Power of DLC And Expansions
“Destiny highlights the importance of additional content releases for AAA titles,” noted SuperData CEO, Joost van Dreunen in the report, citing Activision-Blizzard as a leader in this strategy. “Since April 2016, Call of Duty: Black Ops’ additional content revenue has never dipped below 80 percent of total revenue.”
Legacy franchises like Call of Duty and Destiny can not only charge a premium upfront price,” van Dreunen added, “but continue to take the lion’s share of console spending for months or even years.” Destiny’s The Rise of Iron expansion skyrocketed the title’s revenue from $7.2 million in August to a whopping $59.1 in September, where it rests comfortably at number one for console games.
Monetization, The Twitch Way
Amazon is changing the way people watch, play and pay for video game programming through Twitch and Twitch Prime. The gaming video content segment has seen significant growth over the past year as Twitch continues to release new features aimed at getting online viewers to spend more while watching others play games. One such method of monetization includes Stream+, a virtual currency that viewers can use to bet in real-time during eSports events.
In addition to Twitch Prime, which offers significant benefits to Amazon Prime subscribers, users can now acquire a virtual currency called “bits” by watching ads or paying directly. “While this feature is new to Twitch,” van Dreunen commented, “Chinese streaming platforms like Douyu have already successfully monetized it [and] viewers frequently gift hundreds of dollars’ worth of emotes in a few minutes.” With Twitch getting a 30 to 40 percent cut of all revenue donated in this way, SuperData estimates that total donation revenue for gaming video content could exceed $1 billion worldwide by the end of 2017.

L-C men rise to challenge, knock off Oregon Tech
Copyright of The Lewiston
By JOSH WRIGHT of the Tribune
The past nine days might prove, in retrospect, to be
Lewis-Clark State men's basketball team's most taxing, if not stress-packed,
stretch of the season.
Warrior coach George Pfeifer went as far as calling it a saga.
While it's not quite finished -- L-C travels to Gonzaga this afternoon
for an exhibition game -- the team has to take solace in how the meaningful
part of the it ended Saturday night.
Danny Allen and newcomer John Moore helped the Warriors pull away late,
as they knocked off Oregon Tech 80-66 at Warrior Gym in the final night of
the Cannon's Building Material Center Tournament.
OIT, which won the NAIA Divison II national championship last season, was
ranked No. 1 in the nation in the preseason poll.
Here's how Pfeifer, in his usual passionate tone, summarized the
Warriors' past week and a half:
"I don't think you can really grip (what this team has gone through) if
you don't take a 1,350-mile van trip -- not a bus trip, a van trip -- play
three games in a row, come back to play on Wednesday, then come back to play
a Warner Pac team that's pretty damn good and turn back right around and
play the No. 1 team in the country.
"This to me was far and away the most important part of the saga."
A gritty effort by Moore and the penetrating quickness of Allen were too
much for the Owls, who fumbled away a small lead they had midway through the
second half. The Warriors got up by as much as 18 points in the waning
Allen poured in 28 points -- most of which came via dribble penetration
in the first half. The senior also went 15-for-15 from the charity stripe.
Moore, on the other hand, scored the lion's share of his points slashing
to the basket. During one 90-second stretch when the Warriors were opening a
comfortable margin, he gave the team a boost with a nifty baseline move that
ended in a dunk, then slipped in a reverse layup.
"The Moore kid really hurt us," OIT coach Dan Miles said. "He's pretty
athletic. We couldn't match up with him."
Moore, a junior college transfer from Chicago, was also perfect from the
three-throw line, making all six of his attempts.
The Warriors (5-3) were once again without the services of Joey Ray.
After sitting out L-C's first five games following offseason foot surgery,
the senior guard had played the last two outings. But Ray didn't see the
court in this game.
Spencer Bishop and Justin Fraser were effective in filling his void at
the shooting guard spot.
Levell Hesia paced Oregon Tech with 22 points, all but seven of which
came from beyond the arc.

Via Marzolo 9, Padova, Italy. c Consorzio Polo Tecnologico Magona, Via Magona, 573, Cecina (LI), Italy. Fires may affect process and storage equipment causing severe damages and potential accident escalation. Passive protections, based on the application of fireproofing coatings, are usually implemented in order to prevent or mitigate such events. The design and testing of this type of barriers is a critical task due to the extreme heat exposure conditions. For this purpose, several standard tests, based on the use of large scale furnaces and experimental facilities, are adopted. In the present study, a methodology for the assessment of fireproofing materials performance was presented. The methodology was aimed at reducing the costs of fire tests by the combined use of small scale experiments and modeling activities. A novel inorganic formulation based on fibers and silica aerogel was tested and compared with commercial fireproofing materials. A specific Key Performance Indicator (KPI) was evaluated in order to support the effective design of passive fire protections. 1. Introduction Severe fires may affect process equipment or transport vessels leading to a catastrophic loss of containment (Roberts et al., ). The adoption of passive fire protection materials (PFP), e.g. installation of protective coatings able to withstand severe fire exposure conditions, represents an effective solution for the protection of fired equipment structures (Tugnoli et al., 13) and a highly safe strategy for risk reduction (Tugnoli et al., 1) and lay-out definition in oil and gas industries (Di Padova et al., 11). Several standards rule the specific design and testing of PFP materials (UL 179, ASTM E 119, ASTM E 159, OTI 95635, and ISO 899-1, among others), demonstrating the importance of PFP testing in severe heat exposure conditions, thus reproducing real scale fires, in order to evaluate the actual PFP protection performance. Consequently, several experimental configurations on large (Townsend et al., 1974) or pilot scale have been proposed (Birk et al., 6). The main advantage of such large scale tests is that design guidelines for PFP systems can be directly derived for the application on industrial equipment, without requiring scale up protocols (Droste and Schoen, 1988). On the other hand, large scale tests are not easily reproducible and require high financial efforts for experimental set up preparation and management. In addition, their realization may arise environmental and safety concerns. Therefore, in order to carry out a preliminary design and screening of novel or consolidated PFP materials or formulations, laboratory (Gomez-Mares et al. 1a) and bench scale (Landucci et al., 9a) tests are an effective solution, with lower costs both for equipment and tested specimens. In the present work, a methodology for the assessment of fireproofing performance was developed. The methodology, based on combined experimental and modeling activities, was aimed at the characterization and development of innovative inorganic fireproofing materials based on the combined use of silica aerogel and fibers tissue. Experimental characterization of materials behaviour was performed through a small scale fire test, based on the ASTM E16 standard (ASTM, 1994). Then, a simplified model was developed to reproduce test conditions and to extend the analysis to fire exposure conditions and durations relevant for real scale applications. Finally, PFP performances of the novel materials were assessed and compared against other inorganic formulations. Please cite this article as: Argenti F., Guerrini L., Rossi F., Landucci G., 14, Experimental and numerical characterization of fireproofing materials based on astm e16 standard, Chemical Engineering Transactions, 36, DOI: 1.333/CET14366
2 368. Materials and methods.1 Experimental characterization of PFP materials The tested PFP products were innovative manufactured products realized by enclosing one or more layers of a silica aerogel into a thin fiber tissue blanket. The fiber tissue adopted as external covering was Fabric Type BAS T, provided by Basaltex. The selected silica aerogel, constituted by light weight silica solids (void fraction of 97%), was Pyrogel XTF provided by Aspen Aerogels. In order to reproduce fire exposure conditions on a piece of equipment or pipe, thus monitoring the response of the protected target, each tested insulating coating was coupled with a 5mm thick low carbon steel board obtaining a test specimen. The main geometrical features of the tested specimens are reported in Table 1.

Figure 1a) shows the overview of the experimental facility. The whole set-up, namely RP-1A model, was supplied and certified by Govmark Inc for testing materials according to the standard ASTM E 16 (ASTM, 1994). The framework consisted of the supporting structure made of stainless steel covered by epoxy varnish. The support frame (see detail b) of Figure 1), made of aluminum, was fixed to the main framework in order to hold material samples with dimensions in accordance with (ASTM, 1994), e.g. 15 x 46 mm and variable thickness. The radiating panel, featuring a radiating surface of 3 x 46 mm, is made of porous refractory material and was vertically mounted on a stainless steel framework. The modifications introduced in the standard set up basically concerned the orientation of the specimen, which was set parallel to the radiating panel. Shortening the separating distance between the specimen and the radiating panel allowed increasing the severity of the heat exposure. Besides, the selection of LPG instead of methane as fuel gas also increased the thermal potentiality of the apparatus, which could provide heat radiation in the range 1 5 kw/m. The flame generation system consisted of the fuel gas pressurized cylinder and the supplying system connected to the flame generator. On the fuel line, appropriate devices allowed pressure and flow regulation. In the tests, the LPG flow was set to 1 L/s, while air flow was set to 5 L/s. The panel was equipped with a Venturi fan for fuel gas and air mixing. Each experimental trial was carried out for 4 minutes. During the test, the temperature of the steel board was measured by six Chromel-Alumel type K thermocouples positioned at the interface between the coating layer and the protected steel board. Thermocouples position is shown in Figure 1 c). Hence, dynamic temperature profiles were derived from every experimental run to characterize the performances of PFPs.
3 . Numerical modelling of PFP materials performances In the second phase of the study, the experimental results were analyzed, integrated and extended through a numerical approach, based on the implementation of a simplified model aimed at reproducing the average temperature profile in the specimen exposed to fire. A one-dimensional model was developed assuming that, during the test, the heat propagation through the sample exposed to radiant heat takes place mainly in the direction perpendicular to the exposed face. Therefore, the occurring heat exchange phenomena were described by a system of Partial Differential Equations for transient one-dimensional thermal conduction in the adjacent layers of different material. In order to consider the thermal conductivity of coating material as variable with temperature, the above described system was solved through numerical integration by adopting a spatial discretization in the direction of thickness, in accordance with the thermal nodes modeling approach (Modest, 3). A nonuniform mesh designed to be finer in the proximity of the interface between different layers and a time step of one second were selected. A pure radiative model was adopted: Stefan-Boltzmann s law was applied to calculate the total heat flux received by the specimen, considering the radiating panel as a black body (emissivity equal to 1) and a constant value of effective radiant temperature was selected to account for the convective heat transfer contribution of hot gases flowing over the exposed surface of the specimen. The equations implemented in the model are reported in Table together with the initial and boundary conditions required for solution, while Table 3 summarizes the adopted nomenclature.

Constant average values were adopted to describe the behavior of the steel and the fiber tissue. The aerogel density and heat capacity were derived from the manufacturer data sheet, while the thermal conductivity was
4 37 calculated as a function of temperature by means of a correlation derived applying a fitting procedure to effective thermal conductivity data measured by Wei et al. (11). The adoption of an effective thermal conductivity derived from experimental data was necessary to avoid the use of complex models describing all concurrent phenomena at microstructural level that govern heat transfer within highly porous materials (Gomez-Mares et al., 1b). 3. Results and discussion 3.1 Experimental results and model validation Figure reports the experimental results obtained with the modified ASTM E 16 set up. In particular, the dynamic temperature behavior of the tested specimen recorded by the thermocouples is reported in Figure a and b for test T.1 and T. respectively (see Table 1). As shown in Figure, the measured temperatures were characterized by an increasing trend moving from the bottom to the top of the specimen, i.e. the higher temperature value was registered by thermocouple TC, while the lower temperature value were registered by thermocouple TC 6 (see Figure 1c for thermocouples positioning). The same behavior was also evidenced in leftmost side of the board. This phenomenon was due to the convective contribution to heat transfer by buoyant hot gases flowing upwards in the free space between the radiant panel and the exposed face of the specimen. The results confirmed that increasing the thickness of the aerogel layer allowed for an improvement of the protective performance.

5 3. Performance assessment of PFP materials Once validated, the model was applied for extrapolating the behavior of the protected steelwork in presence of large scale fires, e.g. higher heat radiation values, and different fireproofing configurations. In particular, the engulfment in a hydrocarbon pool fire was simulated considering a radiation source at 198 C, which is the maximum radiant temperature reached during UL 179 standard test, and an extended fire exposure time of 1 minutes was considered. The key performance indicator TI (temperature index) suggested by Landucci et al. (9b), was calculated for each simulated coating type and thickness. In this work, TI was defined as the ratio between the maximum temperature reached by the non-exposed surface of the steel board and the temperature of the external coating surface, as derived from simulation results. The normalized index was suitable to provide an effective and rapid estimation of the temperature gradient within the specimen thickness and, hence, of the thermal insulation capability of the analyzed coating material. Figure 4a shows the temperature profiles predicted by model simulations for products made up of one, two and four internal layers of aerogel respectively. The predicted profiles for specimen coated with silica blanket (nominal thickness of and 4 mm) were also reported for comparison. Silica blanket properties were modeled according to the values suggested in a previous work (Argenti and Landucci, 13); the compression effects on thermal conductivity were also taken into account, following the previously described approach. Silica blanket represented a suitable benchmark since it is an inorganic fireproofing solution prescribed for application on pressurized fixed equipment as well as road and rail tankers (Birk, 5). The illustrated results highlighted that, for a given thickness, the innovative fireproofing product showed worse insulation properties respect to silica blanket. Nevertheless, similar temperature behaviors were predicted comparing 4 layers of aerogel respect to mm of silica blanket. Figure 4b reports the maximum values of the performance index TI (reached at the end of simulation runs) for all defined case studies. The horizontal line represents the threshold value of TI (namely TI* =.36), calculated as the ratio between the reference temperature value for the thermal weakening of the steel, fixed at 4 C according to references in the literature (Cotgreave, 199), and the standard hydrocarbon fire temperature (e.g., 198 C) (UL 179 standard test). Figure 4b shows that for the fireproofing material tested in the present study, the TI index reached values above TI* in all the simulated cases. Nevertheless, only in the case of one or two layers of aerogel the predicted values is significantly above the TI* threshold, with potentially critical conditions for the structural integrity of the protected steelwork due to insufficient insulation performances Basalt fiber tissue + 1 Pyrogel layer 6 4 Basalt fiber tissue + Pyrogel layers Basalt fiber tissue + 4 Pyrogel layers Silica Blanket ( mm) Silica Blanket (4 mm) a) TI.4. b) fiber tissue + 1 Pyrogel layer fiber tissue + Pyrogel layers fiber tissue + 4 Pyrogel layers Silica Blanket nominal thickness = mm TI* =.36 Silica Blanket nominal thickness = 4 mm Figure4: Model application to simulate severe fire exposure conditions for different PFP configurations: a) temperature vs time prediction; b) TI index evaluated at the end of the simulation. Even if the simplified model did not take into account some aspects which affect vessels resistance to fires, which would require advanced modeling (Venart, 1999) (e.g., increasing vessel pressure due to heat load, inner fluid behavior, etc.), the simulation results allowed identifying the safety margins available for
6 37 thermal protection design. Therefore, the simplified model was demonstrated to be a simple tool for the preliminary screening and assessment of PFP performances. 4. Conclusions An integrated experimental and numerical approach for the assessment of inorganic PFP materials performances was presented. A novel inorganic formulation, based on silica aerogel and fibers was tested in order to exemplify the methodology. The experimental set up, derived from a modified ASTM standard, allowed reproducing on small scale severe heat exposure conditions. Hence, the experimental characterization of the PFP material was carried out by measuring the dynamic temperature evolution on a steel board covered by the tested product. The numerical model was applied to simulate several fire exposure conditions and insulating thickness, providing guidelines for PFP design and evaluating a specific Key Performance Indicator. Although several simplifications were introduced in the model, the present methodology may be used as a preliminary design tool, to be further integrated with real scale experiments and models.

The NOWA 360 system is always in operation. Whether a water leak occurs now or in 10 years, it will be quickly controlled.
Its great precision, the secret of its speed
With 4 closely spaced contact points and a clearance of only 0.4 mm (0.015 in.) between the sensor and the floor, the NOWA 360 sensor can detect liquid as small as the damage of a glass of water.
64 zones. A single control panel can manage up to 64 different NOWA 360 detectors.
A signal without interference
319.5 MHz No interference
NOWA uses an encrypted and secure communication protocol. This radio frequency system is proven and already used in over five million systems. The use of low frequencies ensures a constant signal free of interference.
The powerful signal linking the detectors to the control panel covers an area of 5,000 square feet.
Fast closing every time
Every second that passes between the start and end of the water leak reduces the amount of damage. Connected directly to the control panel by wire, the electric valve reacts immediately and at all times. And in the event of a power outage, the system continues to function thanks to its built-in battery backup.
Stopped immediately. Notified without delay.
NOWA 360 notifies you immediately by notification or e-mail that a leak has been checked. The exact time and location of the leak is known. You intervene directly at the right place to correct the source of the problem, without having to waste time locating the leak.
Stay in control, wherever you are.
Are you away from home and forgot to turn off the main water inlet? With the NOWA 360 app, you control the closing and opening of the main valve remotely. Turn off the water as needed, then turn it back on when you return.
A SMART APPLICATION
Clean interface. Easy to install. Pleasant to use. The application simplifies your life and gives you control at your fingertips. It is available for free for iOS and Android systems.
Always put to the test. Always ready!
The system generates regular routine self-tests by itself. This way, the valve, and all sensors, without exception, are operational when it really counts.
DAILY DETECTION TEST
The control panel calls the detectors to check if they are present. The second one of the detectors goes missing, you are notified, with the precise identification of the offending detector.
WEEKLY CLOSING TEST
The control panel commands the electric valve to make one complete turn of the ball. This simple rotation keeps the valve free of accumulated deposits and extends the life of the valve to over 100 years of use.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
The system notifies you that a battery is low before it fails. The built-in high-performance lithium batteries offer a 10-year life span, a standard rarely equaled.
MANY OTHER FEATURES
Detection of localized frost
The integrated sensor of the NOWA 360 sensor tightens the monitoring of frost zones wherever you want. You are notified of a risk of freezing as soon as the ambient temperature drops below 5°C (41°F).
The mini and perimeter detectors increase the detection area in certain difficult areas. You can, among other things, cover the entire circumference of a water heater in close detection.
Only water, not humidity
The contact poles detect water, not the normal humidity variations in a home or commercial building. You don’t have to deal with unnecessary valve closure.
The gold plating prevents oxidation of the contact poles. Water detection remains as effective as ever, even after several years in a particularly humid area of the building.

In the present time, the OnePlus is not unknown to anyone, nevertheless, if some people don’t know, let me tell you that it is a famous smartphone maker company. OnePlus recently launched its OnePlus 9RT handset in China, and now the company is busy working on the upcoming OnePlus flagship 10-series. Presumably, the new series will come up with two smartphones – OnePlus 10 and OnePlus 10 Pro, though we can’t say anything for the R-variant right now. For now, the live images of the upcoming smartphones have now surfaced online.
Tipster Debayan Roy (Gadgetsdata) has posted a purported live image of the Oppo Reno 7 Pro on Twitter which was originally shared on Weibo, and the tipster is claiming that the OnePlus 10 display will be pretty much similar to the Reno 7 Pro. The image suggests that the OnePlus 10 may offer a punch-hole-designed display with thin bezels. As per the leaked image, we can say that there will not be any significant change in the display. However, the company has not officially unveiled any information regarding design and specifications of OnePlus 10.
OnePlus 10 from Front 🙃 !! pic.twitter.com/UQI2Nweloi
— Debayan Roy (Gadgetsdata) (@Gadgetsdata) November 11, 2021
As for information, the Oppo Reno 7 Pro is rumored to come with a 6.5-inch full-HD+ OLED display along with a 120Hz refresh rate. As per the leaks, the smartphone will sport a 32MP selfie camera. So you can guess a little what might come in the OnePlus upcoming phone. It is expected that the phone will have 8GB of RAM with 128GB of internal storage base model. In terms of processor, it may have a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset.
A couple of days ago, the first renders of OnePlus 10 Pro are out that appeared online. The smartphone seems to have a triple camera module on the rear side. The image shows us a newly designed camera module that is very similar to the Galaxy S21. According to a report, the OnePlus 10 Pro will come with a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. You can see the rendered image of OnePlus 10 Pro is above.
So far, the company has not confirmed yet any details about both the upcoming models. We will share with you more information on the OnePlus’s next flagship as soon as possible. To get the latest news on Android smartphones and other tech news, stay tuned with us.

NUTRITION: THE DANGER OF PUFA'S
What if there was a substance that you were consuming regularly that was severely hampering your efforts to get healthy? What if this substance was linked to accelerated aging and a variety of common health problems? What if this substance was used in numerous "health" foods and in numerous restaurants (largest culprit with all the oils that they use!!)? What if you were taking supplements that contained high amounts of a harmful substance that you were told was healthy? Well, this is happening and you are most likely unaware of it, the most damaging thing you can put in your body is not sugar and it is not gluten, it's PUFAs. WHAT? I know it can sound a little space agey, and I don't think enough has been said about these fats.
WHAT ARE PUFA'S?
PUFAs—short for polyunsaturated fats are a type of fatty acid. The type of fat that is available to us via the foods we eat generally fall into two categories: unsaturated fat (avocados) and saturated fat (think animal protein) . For ages we were advised to avoid saturated fats and emphasize unsaturated fats (or avoid fat all together), but the tides are turning and this is the last thing you should do! Healthy fats are SO nourishing, healing and critical for brain development and the functioning of your entire body. Remember when many cooking oils actually said "heart-healthy" on the bottle?? The research is overwhelmingly clear that saturated fats (I LOVE COCONUT!) are not only healthy, but that they are extremely beneficial for overall health.(DO NOT fear coconut products, one bit). What is NOT often talked about is the downright damaging impact of the class of highly unsaturated fats known as PUFAs.
WHY SHOULD YOU AVOID THEM?
The primary issue with PUFAs is that they are highly unstable. All fats have a temperature with which they oxidize (i.e. become unstable, go rancid, become toxic). This is why I ONLY recommend cooking / roasting with coconut oil OR if you consume dairy, organic + clarified GHEE. For PUFAs that temperature is very low. An easy way to remember this is that UNsaturated fats are UNstable and Saturated fats are Stable. Unstable fats are prone to oxidation. Oxidation lead to free radicals. This is the main point to take home! Free radicals lead to cellular damage in your body that can manifest both internally in the form of damaged organs/glands and externally in the form of rapidly aging skin, and even major diseases, the most commonly known GIANT C nightmare.
In addition, many of these fats can become unstable before they even enter your body. During processing, many of these "seed" oils are exposed to high heat (imagine trying to extract oil from a grape seed), which can often make the oils go rancid, harsh word, but it's the truth! These oils may also be exposed to high heat during travel which can also lead to a damaged and unstable product. This is one of the reasons many of these oils are shipped in dark containers and are required to be refrigerated (think of flax oil which is always in a dark bottle and must always be refrigerated).
The Benefits of Following low PUFA Diet:
Blood Sugar - PUFAs can damage the cells in your pancreas that produce insulin. If you want to lose body fat and achieve a high level of health, you want a very effective blood sugar handling system (this is the main reason for weight gain, unbalanced blood sugar). PUFAs can damage this system. For those with blood sugar handling issues the primary focus is usually reduced sugar intake, however, I believe it makes more sense to reduce PUFAs from your diet first, and than focus on the sugar. In conjunction, these two things can have a HUGE impact on your health and body.
Skin health - PUFAs are closely linked to age pigment formation, and a high level of PUFA in your body means when you are exposed to the sun, free radical damage is more likely.
Metabolism - PUFAs can stress various systems in your body, particularly the rate at which your cells produce energy (i.e. your metabolism). This has numerous implications for thyroid health and general hormonal balance. We aren't just given a set rate for our metabolism, and that is it. We can heal it, change it, and allow it to thrive!
Digestion / Immune System - PUFAs can impair protein digestion. Digestion problems are rampant TODAY, and eliminating PUFAs are an often overlooked and very effective way at supporting digestion. Your immune system is closely linked to your digestive system, a problem with digestion almost guarantees a poorly functioning immune system.
Detoxification - The liver plays a MAJOR role in detoxification, PUFAs can overburden the liver. That sluggish feeling you feel after eating out? You may have just consumed PUFAs...
NOW what you all want to hear!!! Where are PUFAs present?
PUFAs are present in nearly ALL foods (even vegetables)! While some extremists would say to avoid high-PUFA vegetables I don't believe you need to go that far. Small amounts of unprocessed PUFA in a well balanced diet are unlikely to cause any issues. The most damaging PUFAs are the processed liquid cooking oils below: which I do recommend to stay away from cold turkey.
Canola oil, Grapseed Oil, Corn Oil, Soybean Oil, Generic Vegetable Oil, Walnuts Oil, Cottonseed Oil, Sesame Oil, Peanut Oil, Margarine, Flaxseed Oil.
Hidden Sources of PUFA Exposure:
Snacks - Most energy bars, granola, potato chips, flax seeds, chia seeds (chia and flax in moderation are ok! So don't fret. Make sure you're buying organic)
Commercially raised beef, poultry, eggs. Animals fed a diet high in PUFA (i.e. corn and soy) will have high levels of PUFA in their tissues. Please if you eat meat, but hormone free organic!
Most restaurants and take-out options use PUFA cooking oils.
Fish Oil - Yes, fish oil is a PUFA. While short term (i.e. a few months) therapeutic use may be effective for reducing inflammation, long term daily use has a number of negative implications. I recommend cycling your fish oil, taking it for a few months, staying clear for another few months, and re-introduce it.
Plan of Action
Avoid PUFA oils to the best of your ability, especially for cooking.
Always use heat stable fats for cooking (i.e. coconut oil, ghee, butter).
Limit the amount of times per week you eat out and follow the eating out tips below.
Consume high PUFA foods (i.e. nuts, seeds, fatty fish) in limited quantities (i.e. a few times a week instead of daily)
If you consume animal products ensure that the animals are not fed any PUFA. This means consuming grass-fed beef and pasture raised eggs and poultry. There are many other benefits to this approach as well.
If you are a vegan or vegetarian and nuts and seeds are a significant component of your diet it may be beneficial to consume lots of coconut oil and possibly to supplement with Vitamin E.
TIPS / NOTES
Vitamin E is a VERY powerful antioxidant and may help offset the damage caused by PUFAs. When you go out to a restaurant or if you are in the mood for some French fries, take some vitamin E when you get home. It sounds silly, but it will help counteract the effects of the oils.
Eat more saturated fat in general, but especially on days when you will be consuming PUFAs (whether intentionally or unintentionally). Saturated fat can offset the damage caused by PUFAs. Bring on the coconut oil + coconut meat.
If you only want to do one thing for your health, limit your exposure to PUFAs.(and of course minimalize your refined sugar consumption!). I don't think this is spoken about enough. Of course it's not seomething to become obsessed about.
I thought this little story was SO interesting, as I was reading more about the dangers of PUFA //
It is rumored that pig farmers attempted to feed there pigs coconut oil to fatten them up (in the days when coconut oil, was cheap). Apparently the pigs got lean and muscular on the coconut oil diet. Only after they started feeding them corn, soybeans and grains did they begin to bulk up.
Don't fear Saturated Fat! Of course look to the healthy options, not fried food guys, but make sure you are choosing the RIGHT type of oils + fats to cook in. Take a look in your cupboard and note which oils you are cooking with, if they are in dark bottles, if they must be kept in the fridge, and when in doubt use COCONUT OIL! It truly is my best friend. I cook with it, use it in baking, bathe in it, slather my skin in it, use it as a hair mask, put it in smoothies, use it to shave my legs, the uses are endless really. Keep a jar in the kitchen and your bathroom and I promise you, you will NEVER look back.
HAPPY SATURDAY BEAUTIES! I hope this shines some light on a source of fats, that are not really discussed that often in main stream news.

Do you remember when you first chose to surrender your life to God? You both celebrated the event with great joy. God immediately wrote your name in His book so He could make sure that you would inherit all that He has. He put you in His will.
The good news is that you will always be in His will and nothing can change that. The question is, what will you do now to align your life to His so that you begin to live more fully in His will each day? You surrender. You give up being in control. You understand that as a human being, you cannot make anything happen on your own. You recognize that there is only one safe place to be and that is for you to live inside God’s will. How hard can it be?
When I was recovering from my strokes, I had to surrender to the process. I had to be willing to let others help me. I had to accept every little step as a victory because each step brought me closer to wholeness and health. I imagine that our walk with God is something like that. We have to choose to surrender to the process. We’re not going to become perfect overnight. We’re not going to heal our emotions and our bodies and our spirits without His help. We need to keep taking steps in the right direction as God leads us and count each step as a little victory. We have to understand that the process we’re in will bring us closer to living in His will all the time.
You may wonder how your own healing process will work. You may be uncertain about what steps to take. You only have to choose to surrender to all that God has for you and He will light your path and keep you ever in His will.
Pray that I may be kept safe from the unbelievers in Judea and that the contribution I take to Jerusalem may be favorably received by the Lord’s people there, so that I may come to you with joy, by God’s will, and in your company be refreshed.
Romans 15:31-32, NIV

HVAC Charlotte – Why You Should Choose a Local Company
HVAC Charlotte is a MyAIr – Expert HVAC great place to get help for your home’s heating and air conditioning system. There are several reasons why you should consider a local Charlotte company when you need service. The best companies in the area have a long history and are trusted by homeowners. They offer free estimates and expert customer service. And, you can always ask for a second opinion, as long as the technician is fully licensed and insured. These companies are a great option if you need to replace your current system or you’re not sure which brand you need.
When choosing a Charlotte HVAC company, you should look for an HVAC contractor that offers warranties for their work and offers upfront pricing. These contractors will provide you with a written estimate that includes the cost of the job. They will also charge you by the job, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying before they start working on your system. Another advantage of using an experienced company is that you’ll be able to get an estimate on the spot.
When it comes to selecting a HVAC company, it’s important to consider the age of the system. Older systems typically don’t have enough efficiency to meet minimum energy standards. This can cost you thousands of dollars, so it’s better to replace it than spend a month or two trying to figure out how to repair it. A new system should be at least a decade old. And if it costs more than $5,000 to fix or maintain, it’s time to replace it.

Labour has once again called for rents to be capped in Scotland after fresh data revealed rent increases were outstripping wage rises over the past five years.
Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard has made no secret of his desire to control rents and limit the power of private landlords north of the border, despite concerns that it could have a negative impact on tenants.
In his keynote speech to Scottish Labour’s spring conference in March, he detailed his vision to reshape the rental sector in Scotland, including the introduction of a new “Mary Barbour law” to protect tenants.
The proposed ‘Mary Barbour law’ is named after the Red Clydeside political activist who played a leading role in the rent strikes of 1915.
Leonard outlined how his party aims to introduce a private members bill that would create a new points-based system to enforce what he considers to be fair rents. A public consultation on the measure was launched last month.
Leonard’s desire to see a rent-cap introduced is supported by Jeremy Corbyn.
Labour’s housing spokesperson Pauline McNeill MSP said: “Scotland’s housing crisis is seeing private sector rents rising faster than people’s wages, making housing even more expensive and pushing people further into poverty.
“Too many young families are caught in a vicious cycle – a lack of affordable public housing forces people to rent privately and as a result they are paying rip-off rents, which stops them saving for a deposit to buy their own home.
“Our Mary Barbour law, which I am bringing forward as a Member’s Bill, would stop this happening and give people hope that they can have secure, affordable tenancies. Only Scottish Labour has a plan for real change in the housing sector which will help the many, not the few.”

Lately, I have seen quite a few people who have had Candida. There are many symptoms that reveal a Candida problem including: a white coating on the tongue, a strong craving for sugar, bad breath, brain fog, joint pain, hormonal imbalances, gas, bloating, chronic sickness and UTIs to name a few.
So, what is Candida? Candida Albicans is a common type of yeast infection found in the mouth, vagina and intestinal tract. Candida naturally occurs in our bodies, but when it gets out of balance and grows is when it can become a problem. Candida is important to aid with digestion and nutrient absorption, to ensure we get all the good nutrients from our food. However, when it overproduces because of too much stress, poor diet, too much sugar and more, it breaks down the walls of intestinal lining and penetrates into the bloodstream. It literally drills holes into the gut wall which allows toxins into the body, also referred to today as “leaky gut”.
Balancing the pH of the body by eating alkalising foods is important to help restore the natural balance back to the body. Alkalising foods include greens, vegetables, nuts, seeds, lemon, lime and water! Restoring the healthy bacteria in the gut is also very important by avoiding sugars, (even natural sugars); consuming prebiotic foods which encourage gut bacteria such as: garlic, onion and leeks; and putting good bacteria back in through a good probiotic supplement.
So, what causes Candida besides too much sugar and a poor diet? Well, being on antibiotics long-term certainly does! Antibiotics have their place to fight stubborn infections, but when they are overused they don’t just kill the bad bacteria but also the good bacteria that helps with digestion and keeps Candida under control. The birth control pill long-term can as well because of the impact on the hormones and gut wall.
What can be done to rid the body of Candida? I like to think of the program as: WEED, SEED, FEED. Weed out the foods that are feeding the Candida, which means all sugars including fruit! Also, removing wheat, yeast, alcohol and all milk products as the milk sugars can contribute to an over growth. Use anti fungal foods to kill the Candida such as: coconut oil, garlic, onions, apple cider vinegar, lemon and lime juice, cinnamon, cloves, olive leaf extract, oregano oil and turmeric.
If the Candida is chronic, (meaning you’ve had it for some time) a stronger anti fungal supplement is usually required to kill off the Candida overgrowth. In this case, a solid six week protocol is required. At the same time we want to heal the gut and restore the gut wall with a variety of vitamins, broths, etc. After all the weeding and seeding is done we feed the good bacteria and replenish it with a good probiotic supplement. (Note that you may feel worse before you feel better as Candida die-off usually occurs).
A good way to start a Candida cleanse is with easily digestible foods such as vegetable soup, which includes onions, garlic, celery and kale. Drink lots of water and avoid high starch vegetables such as carrots, beetroot, kumera, corn, potatoes, pumpkin and peas. Vegetables you want to include are: lettuce, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, spinach, mushroom, capsicum, onions and tomatoes. As with any food, it’s important to monitor how you feel after eating a meal when you have Candida.
So, to recap: low to no sugars, alcohol, grains and starches. Lots of liquids, broth soups, steamed vegetables and raw salads. Introduce the anti fungal foods to kill it, heal the gut with what I listed above, and replenish the good gut bacteria. Candida can be eliminated for good!
If you have some of the symptoms listed above and want to discover if you have an acute or chronic case of Candida and to what degree, then get in touch with me now for a simple test to confirm so we can get you on the road to feeling better!

At the University of Missouri-Columbia I research and teach Caribbean literary and cultural studies, Contemporary global Anglophone literature, and mass culture of the African Diaspora. My first book Difficult Subjects: Negotiating Sovereignty in Postcolonial Jamaican Literature was published by the Ohio State University Press in 2014, and my research has been published in various venues including Modern Fiction Studies, Small Axe, The Oxford Research Encyclopedia and The Los Angeles Review of Books. I currently serves as a member of University of Missouri Press’ advisory board, an elected member of the Postcolonial Studies forum of the Modern Languages Association, and advisory board member of Anthurium: A Caribbean Studies Journal and the Post45 Collective.
Jamaica's Difficult Subjects offers a model for clarifying the dissonant politics of contemporary Caribbean fiction by tracing a range of difficult subjects across the Caribbean region's literary history. By constructing a lineage between difficult subjects in classic Caribbean texts like Wide Sargasso Sea and The Harder they Come and contemporary writing by Marlon James and Patricia Powell, this book presents a sweeping new history of Caribbean literature and criticism that reconfigures how we understand both past and present writing. Jamaica's Difficult Subjects thus rethinks how sovereignty is imagined, organized, and policed in the postcolonial Caribbean, opening new possibilities for reading multiple generations of Caribbean writing with new eyes.
I am currently working on a second book project, tentatively titled After the Beginning Ends: Contemporary Fiction and Iconoclasm. It considers the writing of immigrant and immigrant descended writers like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Teju Cole, Edwidge Danticat, Junot Díaz, and Marlon James, whose work, I argue, is reconfiguring the contemporary American and Caribbean literary landscapes via iconoclastic re-readings of earlier narratives of national and communal belonging. After The Beginning Ends will analyze in particular how contemporary narratives elicit the frames of identity politics provided by postcolonialism, cultural nationalism, and transnationalism in order to break out of them, and to produce new accounts of contemporary global realities.

Ceremonies in Vallejo honor, thank veterans
By Dianne de Guzman & Irma Widjojo | November 11, 2015
Jackson Jones sat next to his favorite veteran during the Veterans Day Ceremony on Wednesday morning in Vallejo.
That veteran was Harold Thompson, the 9-year-old boy's great grandfather.
Thompson, a Vallejo resident, fought in World War II and continued to serve in the United States National Guard until he retired 17 years ago.
"This brings so many memories," Thompson said of the ceremony.
The annual Veterans Day event at the Veterans Memorial behind the John F. Kennedy Library attracted more than 100 people, many of whom served in the military.
The ceremony was only one of the few that took place in Vallejo to honor those who have served the country.
Four generations of the Thompson family were with him at the ceremony.
"He's not a social creature, but he always goes to this ceremony," his wife Barbara Thompson said.
Speakers during the ceremony also emphasized that the gratitude for the veterans should not only last 24 hours.
"Tomorrow Veterans Day is going to be over," said U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson, D-St. Helena, in a letter read by a representative. "But our commitment to our veterans must not end here. ... Let's not just say 'Thank you,' let's keep our promise (to look after them)."
The guest speaker at the ceremony was the executive director of Rebuilding Together Solano County, Elizabeth Hoffman.
As part of its service, the nonprofit organizations rehabilitates homes and buildings for veterans who are in need financially and physically.
Hoffman said since 2009, Rebuilding Together volunteers have rehabilitated 14 homes of low-income veterans in Solano County.
"(Veterans) were ordinary people who responded in extraordinary way at extreme times," Hoffman said.
Earlier in the day, about 20 people gathered at the Mare Island Naval Cemetery to pay respect to the fallen heroes.
The 20th annual event, organized by the Mare Island Historic Park Foundation, also included the laying of a wreath at a monument remembering those who were killed on U.S.S. Boston during an explosion.
Touro University California held its own Veterans Day event at noon, in front of the restored flag pole in front of the Mare Island Hospital.
Organized by the school's Military Club, the ceremony honored students, faculty and staff who are currently serving — or have served — in the military.
The event featured speeches from student members of the Military Club and school administrators and a trumpet rendition of "Taps" played by Neil Yepson, an Army veteran and father of Military Club president Hayley Yepson.
"I'm very proud of those who have made a commitment to serve in the military and very proud of our students, faculty and staff who are veterans who have done significant service," Dr. Marilyn Hopkins, Provost and COO of Touro University, said after the event. "It just seems to be an appropriate thing to (hold this event) and it creates this community of caring that we have here and acknowledges major sacrifices that our veterans ... have a long history of service."
Haylee Yepson was among those from the club who helped to organize Wednesday's event, and will be serving in the Navy after receiving her degree from Touro University in 2018.
"We just wanted to do something to honor those on campus who have served, those in the community who have served and there's also a lot of faculty here with prior military experience," Yepson said in an interview. "We're also on such historic ground with the military, it all just feels so natural to do this (event)."
Along with the event, the Military Club also organized a toiletry drive for Operation Dignity, a nonprofit which helps homeless veterans, runs emergency shelters for homeless vets and their families and provides hygiene kits and blankets for veterans on the streets. The club, along with Phillips Charter School in Napa, helped collect 400 pounds of toiletries for the charity.
"(The Military Club was) trying to find a charity that matched our mission and what we wanted to do and so (Operation Dignity's) mission perfectly exemplifies what we wanted to do: Veterans helping veterans," Yepson said. "We've taken the oath to serve and we want to help others that have served that are now in a less-fortunate position."
Shelley Berkley, CEO and Senior Provost of Touro University, spoke to the crowd about her father's service in the military and working with the Veteran Affairs Committee during her time as a congresswoman. Berkley echoed Thompson's sentiments in her speech, imploring everyone to thank veterans each and every day.
"It was in that capacity (with the Veteran Affairs Committee) that I fully realized the impact on these young men and women," Berkeley said to the crowd. "They answered, generation after generation, the call of this nation to defend and protect our great nation and when they come back, this nation doesn't always protect and defend those who have given so much to the rest of us. I love Veterans Day; it gives us an opportunity to thank those who answered the call. But I think every day must be Veterans Day in the country and until we recognized the sacrifices made, one day a year is simply not going to do it."

Longtime character actor L.Q. Jones passed away peacefully at his home in the Hollywood Hills on Saturday. His career spanned seven decades. His age was given as 94.
Erté deGarces, Jones’s grandson, confirmed his passing. According to DeGarces, Jones passed away in the company of his loved ones.
Jones, who was born Justice Ellis McQueen on August 19, 1927, in Beaumont, Texas, met his wife of 23 years, Sue Lewis, while they were both students at the University of Texas at Austin. In the 1970s, the couple split up.
McQueen’s first film role was in Raoul Walsh’s “Battle Cry” in 1955, where he debuted under the name L.Q. Jones. Jones would continue using the moniker throughout his time in the movies. His most recent appearance was in the 2006 film A Prairie Home Companion, which was directed by Robert Altman.
Jones worked with several prominent mid-20th century Hollywood directors, including Walsh, Don Siegel (“An Annapolis Story”), and Mervyn LeRoy (“Toward the Unknown”). As a supporting actor, he frequently appeared in Sam Peckinpah’s high-octane westerns, such as “The Wild Bunch,” “Ride the High Country,” “Major Dundee,” and “The Battle of Cable Hogue,” and “Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.” Near the turn of the century, Jones appeared in films such as “The Mask of Zorro” (directed by Martin Campbell), “The Patriot” (directed by Roland Emmerich), and “Casino” (directed by Martin Scorsese).
Jones appeared regularly on television and in film throughout his career. Gunsmoke, The Virginian, Wagon Train, Rawhide, The Rifleman, Have Gun, Will Travel, and The Big Valley are just a few of the western series in which he appeared.
Aside from acting, Jones also worked as a film producer, creating four films during his lifetime. In 1975, he produced, directed, and wrote the screenplay for the film “A Boy and His Dog,” an adaptation of Harlan Ellison’s novella of the same name. Jones was originally involved in the project as an executive producer, but he ended up writing and directing it on his own.
In “A Boy and His Dog,” a post-apocalyptic black comedy, a teenager and his telepathic dog struggle to stay alive in the southwestern United States in the year 2024. Jones’ fellow Peckinpah alum Jason Robards stars alongside a young Don Johnson in this film, which has become a cult classic over the years thanks in part to George Miller citing it as an influence on the “Mad Max” films.
Randy McQueen and Steve Marshall, both sons, and Jones’ favourite daughter, Mindy McQueen, are all that remain of Jones’ offspring.

So much happens at a funeral and the wake.
Time is made to see loved ones and distant friends. It is a time that wasn’t always made when all were alive.
Forgiveness is offered and received. The new perspective on life makes what was once important, important no more.
Reflection on life, especially the reminder that one day we will be the one people come to see. What will they say that was never said when our heart was beating? What will we no longer be able to say- will they know we love them?
We are all guilty of this- waiting for the wake to find the time, to seek and offer and accept forgiveness, and to express (and not express) our love.
For many, funerals are the most common family reunion. It doesn’t have to be this way.
When we receive that dreaded call, our normal day-to-day hits the pause button. Like a plane that is grounded mid-flight, we are presented with an unexpected (and often unwelcome) opportunity to seek love and healing, and to give it, all while we mourn the loss of a loved one.
Let this be a gentle reminder to you and to me to stop waiting for that phone to ring with a crying voice on the other end to show up, make amends, and to express our love.
As much as you may be hurting, or angry, or even feeling emotions such as betrayal, pain, despair- always seek love. Relationships may change but seek peace in your heart and give that heavenly peace through your love.
As you likely resist, ask God for that amazing grace to give love. As Jesus did while nailed to the cross, He forgave those who put Him there. He expressed his love to His mother and friend. He even lifted the spirits of the robber who died next to Him.
From the cross, Jesus still extended love. From your cross- can you do the same?
There will be a day when you will find the time, and you will be ready to forgive and to express your love. Do not wait for that day to be at the funeral home.

For that reason, it is also essential for nitrogen fixation inside the legumes because nitrogen restoring bacteria rely on dinner off their relevant plant in order to convert nitrogen regarding the surroundings towards the nitrogen one flowers can be explore. Together with calcium supplements and you can boron, it’s very important to the growth of plant cell structure therefore among other things, it assists plants combat freeze and you may cold wreck. What’s more, it control a beneficial plant’s power to handle drought and you will facilitate vegetation treat condition and you can insect damage. Of numerous backyard gardeners see potassium because the potash however, that it term a whole lot more correctly makes reference to potassium chloride. This might be an essential variation as growers which add potash to help you its soil to improve potassium levels might end upwards increasing ground chloride profile adequate to result in poisoning. Potassium is part of wood ash and this is in which the word potash is inspired by.
- Cation change strength – high amounts of clay and you may normal number in the ground stop leaching out-of potassium even when in the event that crushed consists of little potassium, additionally suppresses plant life of delivering it.
- Most other cations – an enormous more than other cations about surface suppress herbs off taking on potassium. This is particularly true out-of salt.
- Dampness – a lack of water suppresses potassium consumption.
- pH – low crushed pH reduces the method of getting potassium.
- Temperatures – potassium are shorter for sale in cool grounds.
- Ground drainage, compaction and you will aeration – potassium will get reduced available once the surface will get compressed, h2o signed and poorly aerated.

Vegetation are probably to develop a good potassium insufficiency once they is actually xxx inside the soil that is cooler, also acidic, also dry, compacted, waterlogged if not defectively aerated (otherwise one combination of these). Most other mineral imbalances increases the possibility of potassium deficiency.
Signs and symptoms of Potassium Deficit
