How To Find Replacement Parts FOR THE Smok Novo 2 Electric Instrument
The Smok Novo 2 portable vaporizer is the second of two big vaporizers from Smok Company which are worth trying. Smok Company has given a lot of thought on their new product which has managed to get among the best vapes available today. Smok Novo 2 certainly is the best at all times vaporizer with superior taste and vapor production. Let’s take a look at the advanced functions in this vaporizer and see how they improve the way we enjoy our bowls of pho herb.
The Smok Novo 2 biggest change when compared to original may be the huge improvement in battery life, now delivering over twice as much power providing you twice the battery life. Improved battery power life means extended usage moment without the need for recharging. Power output has been increased from 10 sixteenW to nowadays 6 twenty-eight, giving you an improved wattage range. Power productivity has been improved tremendously without compromising on the flavour. This Smok Novo 2 is certainly powered by the new high quality quartz titanium ion batteries, which offer longer lasting performance and present you more vapor per electric battery.
The other big improvement may be the large ceramic dual grid coil system which boosts airflow and vapor production dramatically. The heat sink has been risen to reduce internal temperatures and rise vapor production. The brand new larger dual grid coil system improves air flow through the whole heating chamber giving you probably the most efficient cleanest air doable. The improved cooling vent eliminates the necessity for a fan to cool off the internal heat chamber. With the Smok Novo 2 you obtain the best of both worlds with a powerful vapour producing desktop in a concise and portable design and style.
The most recent version of the initial Smok Novo 2 comes in the form of a DIY Package. The Smok Novo 2 will come filled with a vapor comparison chart, an upgraded battery, replacement glass and the stainless replacement coil. The package has been made to be easy to Vape Pen Battery use and contains been revised to improve the functionality. The new version of Smok Novo 2 comes standard with the new Smok Novo logo which is also good results.
Other added benefits of the Smok Novo 2 may be the readable LED indicator lighting. This indicator light will let you know how much current is left in the battery power. It is a great feature if you work with multiple batteries. The new Smok Novo 2 products have a built in pulse sensor that whenever the temperature reaches below 35 degrees begins changing the LED indicator brightness showing you if you want to change batteries. You will find a built in power saving feature which cuts power quickly when the device is not used.
When choosing what to do first with your new Smok Novo 2, the best thing to do is go back to your initial charger and see if you have a replacement Smok Novo 2 charger that’s appropriate for your original manufacturer’s battery. If you have, then you can continue with your shopping and purchase the replacement Smok Novo 2 battery from exactly the same manufacturer as your unique. If the power adapter and the entire device are not from the same manufacturer or supplier, then you can shop online for a dealer that sells extras for Smok Novo 2. You can even go online and order from an online store that sells electronic items.
A number of the online stores sell replacement components and chargers for nodes which are usually manufactured by other companies such as for example Samsung, Phillips, etc. It is always a good idea to check up on reviews about the specific brand you wish to replace the batteries with because unique brands could have different standards and specifications so far as the original 450mah and the 800mah batteries are worried. There are numerous Smok Novo 2 review internet sites on the internet. A couple of them can give you accurate information about the brand you wish to purchase. This way, if there are problems with the initial battery or the charger it is possible to contact the manufacture and obtain an upgraded.
When purchasing the notes you can also purchase additional pods. There are lots of different kinds of pods in various sizes to match different devices so you shouldn’t have any problems finding a substitute pod for the Smok Novo 2 that you’ll require. Replacement pods are available in all colors and styles that were created by Smok Novo.


|Use to radius and deburr edges of aluminum parts. These wheels give a uniform brushed satin finish to parts and deburr quicker and easier than hand finishing. These wheels are discs of Scotch-Brite web compressed and bonded to form a rugged, dense wheel.|
A must for aluminium polishing and edges.
Bought this same wheel when I built my RV8 several years ago and decided to get a new one for the new project. One of my heavily used items in my shop. Could not live without it. A+++
Great timesaver for deburring aluminum edges. I would recommend to any builder of aluminum aircraft - well worth the cost.
The 3M Scotch-Brite Deburring Wheel (7A version) is a great way to clean up metal parts after cutting. Its fine enough to polish the surface well enough to remove scratches that could create stress cracks but is also fast enough to wear down large burs. I ended up buying a Harbor Freight polisher as it had a long enough arbor to accommodate the wheel size. This is definitely a must-have for metal finishing.
Works great for deburring sharp edges on panels.
The 7A, 12-00875, is a medium grade cut and polish wheel, and the 7S, 12-00948, is a fine grade light deburring wheel.
The 7S is 1" wide and the 9S is 1/2" wide.
It is a 6" wheel. We are not sure if it would work on a 8" grinder. You would need to check with the grinder manufacturer to see if it can use 6" wheels.

Hi everyone and this is another fanfic on Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters! I really hope you like it! This is going to be a two-shot so you could definitely expect another part coming soon! :D
Please comment/review and let me know what you think of it, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
I OWN NOTHING; I DO NOT OWN HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS.
. . .
"Temptations are as thick as the leaves of the forest, and no one could be out of reach of temptation unless he is dead." –Robert G. Ingersoll
. . .
The day went by slow and tiring for the two siblings. Night was almost here and the town of Augsburg is dreadfully quiet. Ever since a few weeks ago with the incidents with Muriel, the town has been a little… shaky.
Edward and Ben returned back to the small inn they are all staying at early. The four of them did not sleep the night before; instead, they stayed up the entire night hunting for witches. Finally, exhaustion caught up with the troll and the young kid so with a nod from Gretel and a roll to the eyes from Hansel, they headed home for the rest of the evening.
Without taking a break, Hansel and Gretel have been hunting and fighting witches nonstop. They haven't eaten, slept, or just take a moment to breathe at all. Everywhere they turned they found another witch lurking the area.
Finally, after what seemed like forever, the two siblings head back to Augsburg with mud and blood painted onto their skin. Blood is dripping down the side of Gretel's head and down her lip and blood is soaking through Hansel's clothes.
The last witch they fought ended up having Hansel fly up in the air and slam into a tree. He was flung around, punched, kicked, and sharp claws dug into his skin and tore at his body.
So, now Hansel and Gretel are sitting at a table in a bar in Augsburg, having a drink. Gretel grabs a napkin and wipes the blood that is dripping down her chin. Hansel watches her and without even looking at him, she could feel his eyes on her. She raises an eyebrow at him and shoots him a questioning look, "Yes?"
"Does it hurt?" Hansel finds himself asking, staring at the scratches and wounds on her face.
She smiles at him and after a moment, she shakes her head, "No. Not so much anyways. I'm fine. Really." She loves how he is so protective over her, but she doesn't like how he worries too much about her. She grins at him, placing her hand on top of his, and when she sees the doubt in his eyes, she flashes him a reassuring smile.
He sighs, but slowly nods his head, "Okay." He gulps down his drink and then slams it down on the table, groaning at his throbbing head, "I really hate those fucking witches."
Gretel chuckles and nods her head, taking a sip of her drink, "Tell me about it." She leans back in her chair and watches him massage his temple with one hand. She grins at him and shakes her head as he orders another drink, "You do realize if your head is killing you now, by tomorrow morning you will be dead."
He laughs and shrugs one shoulder, "I know, but it will be worth it."
"You said that last time and then when you woke up with a hangover the next day, you cried the rest of the day." Gretel says with a small laugh as she remembers her brother moaning and complaining as he lied on the wooden floor with a massive hangover and headache, complaining how he was 'dying'.
Hansel rolls his eyes, but a grin tugs at the corner of his lips, "I did not cry. I just... winced... a lot."
"Uh-huh, sure." Gretel says, remembering clearly how her brother was crying because his head was throbbing so badly. However, she does not press the subject any further while an older man walks over to them and hands her and her brother another drink.
Hansel leans back against the wooden chair while an annoyed look on his face. Gretel notices and instantly figures out what is bothering her older sibling.
The two of them are famous; they are the famous witch hunters and everyone knows them. However, many people do not like them and have no problem keeping that a secret.
Hansel listens as a group of men behind them whisper about him and his sister, saying how strange they are and how they are losing their 'game'. Hansel clenches his jaw as he listens to one man in partially he never liked. Alexander.
Alexander was always a wealthy, spoiled man who always thought he was better than everyone else was. His golden locks and piercing blue eyes always caught women's attention and he always flashed a charming smile, which made the women fall to their knees, gawking at him. He had muscles and a nice body, which also helped his appearance. He even tried to seduce Gretel once, but she glared at him and he received a death threat from Hansel.
All Hansel and Gretel want to do is enjoy a few drinks with each other after a rough day of fighting annoying witches. All they want to do is relax and ignore their aching bodies and enjoy the rest of the night. Seems like they could never do that; someone always has to make a comment and spread rumors about them. They don't even bother being quiet about it!
Hansel listens to Alexandra mumble to his friends something along the lines of how he and his sister are old news who get beat up by a witch during every encounter. He says how weak the two witch hunters are starting to become and how shortly they will probably end up dead along with their parents.
That pissed Hansel off and that was his breaking point.
The Witch Hunter jumps to his feet and turns to face Alexander's cocky grin. He glares at him and clenches his fists tightly against his sides. Alexandra narrows his eyes at Hansel as one eyebrow rises up.
Gretel stays seated as she throws her hands up in the air, knowing it would only take a matter of seconds before her brother lost his patience and his temper got the best of him. She rolls her eyes and folds her arms across her chest, watching the scene and praying the temptation of breaking Alexander's jaw won't get the best of him.
"Hansel." Gretel warns him in a stern voice, but he pays no attention to her, instead, his eyes are locked with Alexander's and that is where all his attention is focused.
"What did you just say?" Hansel growls at the man who is standing only a few feet away from him. His eyes have fire dancing inside of them and rage is building inside of him. His blood is boiling at that last comment he made about their parents. Honestly, who did this guy think he is?
Alexandra smirks at him and watches as Hansel takes a dangerous step forward and clenches his jaw. He shrugs one shoulder at the Witch Hunter, obviously not scared of him, "Oh, nothing important."
Hansel rolls his eyes and glares at him; his eyes almost like daggers. Instead of responding, he turns around to go sit back down, but instead, he hears Alexandra coldly reply, "Just telling my friends here how witch hunters are starting to become weak and a bit… rusty when they fight against a witch."
"Oh, you think so? Really?" Hansel sarcastically asks as his eyebrow goes up. Gretel could see this not ending well as she chews on her bottom lip and takes another sip of her drink.
"Yeah, I really do think so." Alexander shoots back. "I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up dead one of these days; a witch would kill them. Wouldn't you say?"
Hansel purses his lips and folds his arms across his chest, using all the strength in him to not bash Alexander's head into the wall behind him. "That's too bad you think that. You know what I think? I think witch hunters these days have small tempers and have no problem bashing someone's head in if they get pissed off."
That was Gretel's cue to jump to her feet and place a hand on her brother's shoulder, "Hansel, it's not worth it. He's not worth it." Some people are already not fond of them and are a bit... scared of them, so, this would not help them think any differently if Hansel starts attacking someone most women and even men idolize.
Not that Gretel cares what others think of them, but she would like to walk into a town without someone shooting them a dirty look or mumbling something under their breaths about them.
"Hey, maybe if you gave me a chance I could show you I'm worth your time-" Alexander begins to say with a smirk towards Gretel, but Hansel takes another dangerous step towards him, growling through clenched teeth, "You say another word to her and I swear I will-"
"Hansel," Gretel cuts him off instantly as she tightens her grip on his shoulder, hoping to calm him down, "I am not offended to what this fucking hillbilly says, so, neither should you. He is a worthless waste of time and we have better things to do then pick a fight with him."
"Ouch, that hurt." Alexander says with a sarcastic tone as he fakes a mocking frown. Gretel rolls her eyes at his respond, but she ignores him, answering him back with silence.
Hansel takes a long, deep breath before taking a step back and turning his back to Alexander. He shakes his head and even though anger is building up inside of him, one look at his sister's pleading face, he softens and nods at her. She smiles at him, but her smile quickly vanishes at Alexander's next words, fully knowing that's Hansel's sensitive part.
"Hey, it's not like he could win a fight against me anyways. I mean, he could barely protect his own sister! I saw the way she walked in here, with all that blood on her. It was her blood and you couldn't do anything to stop that. You let her get hurt, no? Also, I think I recall the fact that while you were hooking up with a witch, your sister was getting a beat down by the old sheriff. Besides, how could you protect her when you could barely protect yourself?! Always having to stop during fights to take your stupid injections because if you don't, you get dizzy and pass out... then most likely die."
Hansel spins around, but before he could land a punch on him, Gretel jumps in front of him and holds him back. Her eyes lock with her brother's and without saying a word, her eyes practically tell him to calm down. She stares at him and quietly says, "He's just baiting you; he's tempting you. Ignore the bastard."
Hansel stares at his sister for a few moments before slowly looking back up at Alexander's cocky grin that's resting on his face. Hansel then takes another step back and nods. He looks back up at Alexander and says in a deadly, quiet tone, "You're lucky she's here. Otherwise, your head would be stuck so far up your fucking ass." Gretel releases the breath she was holding and nods at him, a small smile resting on her lips, glad her brother sort of ignored the temptation and listened to her.
Hansel takes another sip of his drink before placing it back on the table and heading for the door. He pauses at the door, waiting for his sister to follow behind him.
However, as Gretel passes by Alexander, he makes another comment to his friends, "I guess he's too scared to fight with a real man. He's just a joke, just like their parents-"
Without even wasting a second after that comment came out of the man's mouth, Gretel whips out her gun that was in her boot and points it at him. She shoots the gun, firing it so close to Alexander that is cut part of his hair as it went right through it and hit the wall behind him and his friends.
Everyone in the bar stopped their chatting and became dead silent as they watch the Witch Hunter with wide eyes. There was so much tension in the room and even though the bar is packed with men and women who are drunk, you could hear a pin drop onto the floor. The tension and silence is so thick you could cut it with a sharp knife, but no one dared made a sound or even moved.
Gretel narrows her eyes at him and now points the gun an inch from his head as she calmly replies as her jaw clenches, saying something very familiar to what she said to the sheriff when he wanted to kill Mina, "Say another word about my family and I'm gonna blow your cocky brains all over these fucking hillbillies. Got that?"
He slowly nods his head, swallowing hard and then with that, Gretel was satisfied. She then spins around and walks up over to her brother, who has the biggest smirk on his face she has ever seen.
She rolls her eyes and walks out of the bar with her brother trailing behind her, chuckling and grinning at the scene he just witnessed.
It may have been tempting to do that himself or land a strong punch on the man's jaw, but it was also great to see his sister make the man almost piss in his pants and watch as his face went pale as sweat began to drip down his forehead.
Hansel smirks, it may be hard to go against temptation, but sometimes, it was worth it.
Okay everyone! And that would be it for this chapter to Temptation. This was part one so stay tuned for the final chapter: part two, which should be up shortly!
I really hope you enjoyed this and please comment/review and let me know what you thought of it, thanks! :)
Thanks for reading! ^_^

A Flash Flood Watch is in effect from noon today through this evening for Teller and El Paso Counties - more specifically the Waldo Canyon and Black Forest burn scars. Widespread showers and thunderstorms are likely this afternoon bringing the threat for locally heavy rain and flash flooding to isolated locations. If the Waldo Canyon burn scar experiences heavy rain, it will likely produce rapid runoff of water along with possible mud, ash, and debris flows.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely across much of Southern Colorado today including the mountains, Front Range, and Southeastern Plains. A Slight Risk for severe weather is in place for the Front Range and the majority of the Southeastern Plains. Large hail and damaging winds are the main threats for storms in this part of the region this afternoon.
Highs will be below average today in the 70s/80s. The cooler, more comfortable temperatures will stick around for the first half of the workweek. Temperatures will warm back up into the 80s/90s for the second of the week.
Scattered showers and storms are possible once again Monday - especially for the mountains and foothills. Southern Colorado looks to dry out by the middle of the week with the 4th of July holiday holding only a 10% chance for storms.

- The former champions collected maximum points across in their Saturday and Sunday fixtures
- They beat hosts Kisumu All Starlets 7-1 at the Moi Stadium Kisumu and a 1 - 0 win over third placed Eldoret Falcons
Thika Queens maintained their lead at the top of the Kenya Women’s Premier League (KWPL) in round 12, shining most in the after 10 matches played across different venues.
The former champions collected maximum points across in their Saturday and Sunday fixtures, with an emphatic 7 -1 victory over hosts Kisumu All Starlets at the Moi Stadium Kisumu and a 1 – 0 win over third placed Eldoret Falcons in a top-of-the-table clash at the University of Eldoret.
Thika remain unbeaten after nine matches with 27 points, three ahead of closest rivals Vihiga Queens, having played the same number of matches.
Thika coach Chrisantus Otsieno attributes their unbeaten run so far to players’ commitment and determination.
“Football is a game that is played on the pitch and I would like to keep it that way, keeping winning, and winning.”
Reigning champions Vihiga Queens bagged all six points too in their games, against Mombasa Olympic in a seven-goal thriller (7-1) at the Mbaraki Sports Club on Saturday.
Against Spedag in the same venue on Sunday, Alex Alumira’s charges won with a solitary goal.
In other results, Vihiga Leeds piled more misery on Baringo Starlets who are firmly rooted at the bottom of the league with no points, in a 4 -1 victory at the Eldamaravine Stadium on Saturday as their relegation counterparts Mombasa Olympic with only one win this season, got dispatched by Wadaida 2–0 at the Mbaraki Sports Club.
Kayole Starlets 0-1 Soccer Queens
Spedag 3-1 Wadaida
Eldoret Falcons 1-0 Oserian Ladies

Today, Twitter will launch its new video-centric product for the Apple TV, Amazon’s Fire TV, and the Xbox One. Perhaps unsurprisingly, its latest effort doesn’t focus on sharing posts and updates. Rather, it offers a stream of curated visual content from the main site, as well as other Twitter properties like Vine and Periscope.
The app arrives just in time for Twitter’s groundbreaking experiment on Thursday, where it will stream a match between New York Jets and the Buffalo Bills. This is the first of many NFL games that Twitter will stream. It’s inked an agreement that lets it stream all Thursday Night Football games for free to its users.
This is in addition to similar content deals with MLB, the NBA, Pac-12, and the NHL, as well as with Cheddar and Bloomberg News.
Those using the app on the Apple TV will also be able to watch “live premium video” and tweeted video clips side-by-side, which sounds horrendously distracting.
Viewers will also be able to browse a Twitter timeline (but, again, not post) as they watch live-streamed games. This has the potential to introduce NFL fans to Twitter’s features and community, which I suppose is the point. Twitter is currently suffering from a plateau in user growth. If this can introduce its service to a new demographic, it might revive its fortunes in this regard.
Twitter’s new apps will be available in several overseas markets. The Apple TV version will be available worldwide, while the Xbox One one will be available in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and the UK. The Fire TV and Fire TV Stick version will only be available in the UK.

CLEVELAND, March 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A catheter procedure that closes a hole in patients' hearts is no more effective than medical therapy in preventing recurrent strokes, according to a new study published in the March 15 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
In the CLOSURE I trial, clinical researchers compared a catheter procedure plus medical therapy with medications alone to prevent new strokes or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) in patients between 18 and 60 years old with an unexplained ("cryptogenic") stroke or TIA and a patent foremen ovale (PFO) – a hole between the heart's two upper chambers.
In the ground-breaking, international multi-site study led by University Hospitals (UH) Case Medical Center and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, researchers sought to demonstrate the superiority of the STARFlex® Septal Closure System over medical therapies (aspirin or warfarin) alone. Instead, results showed no statistically significant differences between the two therapies.
"These important findings will serve as a guidepost in the prevention of stroke in patients with PFO," said Anthony J. Furlan, MD, lead investigator of the study and Chairman of the Department of Neurology at UH Case Medical Center and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine.
In an accompanying editorial, S. Claiborne Johnston, MD, PhD, from the University of California, San Francisco, wrote, "...CLOSURE I provides the best evidence available regarding the role of closure in stroke prevention and should not be ignored. The results of the trial do not support closure of a patent foramen ovale to prevent stroke in patients who have had a stroke or a TIA of unclear etiology."
The editorial also notes that it took nine years for the results of this trial to be reported and during that time, approximately 80,000 patients have had a PFO closed with the use of a device at an average cost of $10,000 per proced

A massive investigation published in Nature shows that contrary to popular belief, a majority of papers in suspected biomedical predatory journals (57 percent) are from high or upper middle income countries, with many coming from prestigious institutions.
Largely unknown a decade ago, there are now an estimated 8,000 predatory journals collectively publishing more than 400,000 research studies each year. These journals offer to rapidly publish research findings, typically at a lower cost than legitimate journals, but do not provide quality controls such as peer-review. Predatory journals are also difficult to search, meaning that health-care providers and researchers can rarely learn from the data in these journals.
Researchers from The Ottawa Hospital and the University of Ottawa analyzed 1,907 research papers published in 220 suspected biomedical predatory journals. The journals were randomly selected from well-known but controversial lists compiled by University of Colorado librarian Jeffrey Beall.
They found that the top countries publishing in these journals were India (27 percent), the United States (15 percent), Nigeria (5 percent), Iran (4 percent), and Japan (4 percent). The U.S. National Institutes of Health was the most frequent funder mentioned among the very few articles that credited one.
"Our research debunks the common belief that predatory journals are only a problem in low income countries," said senior author Dr. David Moher, a senior scientist at The Ottawa Hospital and associate professor at the University of Ottawa in Canada. "Predatory journals publish research from scientists around the world, including those based at prestigious high income institutions."
The authors note, however, that their results should be interpreted in the context of the overall scientific output for each country and institution. For example, the United States publishes more research than any other country, and the vast majority is in legitimate journals.
The researchers also attempted to judge the quality of the suspected predatory journal papers using adapted versions of widely accepted reporting guideline checklists.
"While quality can be patchy even in legitimate journals, we found that it was far worse in suspected predatory journals," said Larissa Shamseer, a PhD student at The Ottawa Hospital and the University of Ottawa and co-author of the study. "For example, clinical trials published in predatory journals are much less likely to provide information on research ethics approval, trial registration, and randomization into treatment groups. These details are essential for other researchers to be able to gauge the validity of the results."
"We estimate that data from millions of patients and animals may be tucked away in predatory journals," said Dr. Manoj Lalu, associate scientist and anesthesiologist at The Ottawa Hospital, assistant professor at the University of Ottawa and co-author of the study. "Most of this work is undetectable by readers, including by health-care providers looking for research to inform patient care."
The researchers also made a list of the top institutions publishing in their sample of suspected predatory journals and attempted to contact the corresponding authors. Of 87 emails sent, 18 were responded to. Only two of the authors said they were aware that the journal they published in was potentially predatory.
Understanding the importance of helping researchers publish their results transparently and avoid predatory journals, Dr. Moher founded the Centre for Journalology at The Ottawa Hospital in 2015. The Centre includes a full-time publications officer who provides training and consultations to researchers at The Ottawa Hospital and partner institutions.
"Some predatory journals are very good at impersonating legitimate journals," said Dr. Kelly Cobey, publications officer at The Ottawa Hospital, adjunct professor at the University of Ottawa and co-author of the study. "We need to educate researchers about this issue."
Dr. Cobey describes three experiences Ottawa researchers have had with predatory journals in an accompanying Nature World View column.
The team has also developed the following resources to help researchers with this issue:
- Distinguishing features of predatory journals (BMC Medicine - https:/

- Study materials and data (to be available on Open Science Framework once the embargo lifts - https:/

"Stamping out predatory journals and improving how we publish research results could lead to big improvements in health," said Dr. Moher. "Funders, institutions, researchers, and publishers need to work together to address this issue."
The Centre for Journalology is supported by generous donations to The Ottawa Hospital ), as well as contributions from other partners.


Deep-water turbine farms could overshadow near-shore projects like Nantucket Sound’s
Could the proposed Nantucket Sound wind farm become obsolete before it is even built?
Aesthetic concerns have stalled the Cape Wind project, which would erect 130 turbines 5 to 13 miles from Cape Cod and Nantucket. But technological advances in recent years are allowing developers elsewhere to consider building wind turbines farther from shore, where they would be less visible.
Last month, the US Department of the Interior granted the nation’s first ocean leases for exploring the feasibility of large wind farms, with most of the sites 12 to 18 miles off New Jersey and Delaware. New York power companies are exploring the possibility of a vast wind farm 13 miles off the Rockaways. And a 120-turbine farm has been proposed 48 miles off New Bedford.
If these and similar projects prove viable, some wind energy specialists and developers say, they could leapfrog closer-to-shore projects like Cape Wind. Winds are often stronger and more sustained farther from shore.
Yet these proposed wind farms face enormous hurdles. Most will require new, unproven structural designs to withstand fiercer seas and deeper water. They are farther from the onshore electrical grid and more expensive to build. Only one deep-water project exists in the world – a two-turbine test farm 12 miles off the east coast of Scotland in about 150 feet of water.
“People do take Cape Wind into account and try to avoid the same kind of controversy,’’ said Walt Musial, principal engineer of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Colorado, part of the US Department of Energy. “But the trade-off is that the deeper the project is, the greater the technical risk in terms of reliability, survivability, and . . . payback.’’
The Cape Wind project is proposed in what wind energy specialists say is probably the best place on the East Coast to build the nation’s first wind farm: in protected shallow waters close to shore. That allows developers to use technology already proven for land-based wind turbines, driving an enormous single steel pole into the seabed and placing a turbine on top.
But in water 100 to 200 feet deep, that same structure loses stability and can cost too much. So a race is now on to construct wind turbines using much the same technology as used for oil rigs. This method would involve driving pilings into the seabed and mounting a structure on top. The turbines are built on land, carried by barges, and then placed on the structure.
In even deeper water, such as on the West Coast, or in the Gulf of Maine, scientists envision floating turbines anchored to the seabed, although most acknowledge the technology is still years away from being economically viable. Blue H, the company proposing a project off New Bedford, hopes to test its design for floating turbines in US waters by 2011.
“Projects in shallow waters visible from shore have been proposed in the US and many have had public support but others have had some resistance,’’ said Habib Dagher, director of the Advanced Structures and Composites Center at the University of Maine, which wants to host a deep-water wind research center at the university and test designs in deep state waters 3 miles from shore. “In Maine, our goal for large-scale commercial development is to go about 20 miles offshore so you don’t see the structures from land, and to capture the best winds. But it’s a big learning curve for that depth.’’
Wind turbines need to be about 20 miles offshore to be invisible from land, many wind researchers say, although those that are at least 13 miles offshore are barely visible most of the time.
There is no rule about how far away an offshore wind park must be to win public support, said Willett Kempton, professor of marine policy at the University of Delaware. Yet surveys he conducted of thousands of coastal residents show there is little opposition to projects at least 8 miles offshore. Yet with no turbines built offshore in the United States, he added, it is hard to gauge public reaction.
Given the opposition to Cape Wind, developers are acutely sensitive to public perceptions. Deepwater Wind, which is hoping to build a two-phase project in partnership with Rhode Island, moved most of the proposed turbines farther offshore than the state had requested to improve aesthetics, wind power, and safety for birds. The company wants to construct up to eight turbines near Block Island, using a structure anchored to the seabed. Then it plans to build an additional 110 turbines about 15 to 18 miles out in federal waters to generate power for sale to the electrical grid. The company also received two of the federal exploratory leases 12 to 18 miles off New Jersey.
“Our philosophy is as far from the coastline as possible,’’ said Jim Lanard, managing director of Deepwater. “We think wind parks are a beautiful sight, but we understand some people don’t like them. The turbines can look – even though they are not – chaotically placed near shore because they are spinning at different times and speeds.’’
Bluewater Wind LLC, which also won two exploratory federal leases, is using technology similar to Cape Wind’s for two large projects 14 to 18 miles off New Jersey and Delaware. Founder and president Peter Mandelstam said the relatively shallow water, strong winds, and proven technology will make it faster and easier to build and maintain a wind farm.
Musial, of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, said it makes more sense to build nearer-to-shore projects first, to work out technical problems, before jumping ahead to more challenging conditions farther out at sea.
Closer-to-shore wind turbines are certainly not being abandoned.
The Cape Wind project is waiting for a final federal sign-off. And Massachusetts recently unveiled a draft ocean zoning plan that designates six areas within 3 miles of shore where up to 10 wind turbines could be built in each, but only if most communities want them. The state also set aside two areas for large-scale wind farms offshore from two nearly empty islands.
Ian Bowles, Massachusetts secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs, said a suite of wind farms – onshore and those at varying distances offshore – are needed to meet ambitious national and state renewable energy goals.
“We are going to need all this and a lot more,’’ he said.

Stem Cell Therapy and Autoimmune Disease
Stem Cell Therapy and Autoimmune Disease
Facts and Figures
Source: US National Library of Medicine
An autoimmune disease is a condition in which your immune system mistakenly attacks your body. The immune system normally guards against germs like bacteria and viruses. When it senses these foreign invaders, it sends out an army of fighter cells to attack them.
Normally, the immune system can tell the difference between foreign cells and your own cells however in an autoimmune disease, the immune system mistakes part of your body as foreign and it releases proteins called autoantibodies that attack healthy cells.
There are at least 80 types of autoimmune diseases and nearly any body part can be affected, some common autoimmune diseases include diabetes mellitus type 1, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, Addison’s disease, Graves disease and lupus.
Whilst autoimmune diseases are not inherited the genes that are passed from parents can contribute to the susceptibility for developing an autoimmune disease. Certain diseases such as psoriasis can occur among several members of the same family. This suggests that a specific gene or set of genes predisposes a family member to psoriasis. In addition, individual family members with autoimmune diseases may inherit and share a set of abnormal genes, although they may develop different autoimmune diseases.
The number of people who suffer from Autoimmune Diseases is not easy to calculate. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) estimates up to 23.5 million Americans suffer from autoimmune disease but the prevalence is rising. While the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA) say that number exceeds 50 million.
It appears that women get autoimmune diseases at a rate of about 2 to 1 compared to men — 6.4 percent of women vs. 2.7 percent of men, and often the disease starts during a woman’s childbearing years (ages 14 to 44). Some autoimmune diseases are more common in certain ethnic groups. For example, lupus affects more African-American and Hispanic people than Caucasians and is believed to impact over 239,000 Americans, of which more than 90 percent are women.
Little is known about the causes of autoimmune diseases. Certain autoimmune diseases, like multiple sclerosis and lupus, run in families. However, not every family member will necessarily have the same disease, but they can inherit a susceptibility to an autoimmune condition and because the incidence of autoimmune diseases is rising, researchers suspect environmental factors like infections and exposures to chemicals or solvents might also be involved.
Research Into Stem Cell Treatment
However, today, new treatments and advances in stem cell research are giving new hope to people affected by Autoimmune Diseases. Stem cell therapy for Autoimmune Diseases is being studied for efficacy in improving the complications in patients through the use of their own stem cells. These autoimmune disorder treatments may help patients who don’t respond to typical drug treatment, want to reduce their reliance on medication, or are looking to try stem cell therapy before starting drug treatment.
While stem cells may not be the cure for autoimmunity, their properties hold promising potential to reduce symptom flare-ups and slow or control the progression of different diseases. In particular, Mesenchymal stem cells, have been shown in studies to contain immunomodulatory effects and it is believed that systemic administration of these cells may alleviate some symptoms experienced by those who suffer from autoimmune diseases. These stem cells also have the capacity to reduce inflammation, which can be advantageous for diseases where too much inflammation is a cause of symptoms. Whilst further clinical trials in humans have proven intravenous injection of MSCs is safe and feasible for the treatment of MS.

Some people think they need to live their lives in an exhausted state. This is not true at all. Sleep apnea is more common than you think and it can be a dangerous condition.

In order to improve sleep apnea, eliminate some bad habits from your life. Drinking and smoking are a couple of the biggest concerns. Drinking causes respiratory depression, which makes it more difficult to breathe. Smoking can cause swelling in the throat, which also restricts the airway during sleep. When you stop doing these things, your sleep apnea symptoms should be reduced.

If you're having a problem with sleep apnea and are a smoker or a drinker, you may find that quitting can help you immensely. Both of these bad habits can cause the airway muscles to relax, which makes you snore and adds to the symptoms of sleep apnea. Giving up these habits can save you a lot of money as compared to expensive surgical procedures that might be needed later if you continue.

If you are obese, start a weight loss program. Several studies have shown that there is a link between obesity and sleep apnea. It also stands to reason that losing just a little weight can dramatically improve your condition and your health.

Attempt to sleep on the side to get a full night of rest in spite of apnea. The airway obstructions that cause sleep apnea are far more likely to occur if you sleep on your back than in any other position. Try very hard to rest on your side, and you may find your symptoms alleviated.

Try something other than sleeping pills. Similar to alcohol, sleeping pills will relax your throat and airways to an undesirable extent. They also lead to other issues that can cause many problems, especially for someone suffering with sleep apnea. Think about asking your physician about ways you can get to sleep that will not affect your apnea.

If you have sleep apnea and use a CPAP, be sure to carry a medical ID with you. This is particularly important if you have an accident and require overnight hospitalization. The ID needs to include all of the medical information pertaining to your CPAP use.

If you have sinus problems or allergies, find yourself some treatment options. During the night, you are already dealing with breathing problems. You must eliminate anything that might obstruct your airway as you sleep. You will sleep better and have a more open airway if you treat nasal problems.

Shed pounds if you want to get rid of your sleep apnea. Weight loss alone can be an effective treatment for those with mild sleep apnea. The symptoms of sleep apnea can be greatly reduced by even a relatively minor amount of weight loss as the breathing passages and the throat open up.

Now that you better understand sleep apnea, you can start the journey towards better sleep and better health. Avoid being tired all the time, and get a solid night's worth of sleep for once so you have more energy throughout the day.

An English version of her story “The Long-rumored Food Crisis”, which The Japan Times called “a chilling account of moral breakdown after the Big One levels Tokyo”, was published in the 2015 collection Hanzai Japan.
In 2014 Kadokawa published Shinoda’s novel Indo kurisutaru (インドクリスタル , India Crystal) , the story of a Japanese businessman whose efforts to import special crystals needed for electronics manufacturing lead him to a small village in India, where he becomes involved with a local prostitute with exceptional cognitive powers, discovers a scheme to control uranium deposits, and almost dies in an anti-government uprising. Shinoda visited small Indian villages for details of setting and character, but based the fictitious Indian crystal trade in the novel on Japan’s trade with Brazil and Australia. The book won the 10th Chuo Koron Literary Prize.
After her Naoki Prize success, several more of Shinoda’s works were adapted for television. In 1998 Shinoda’s story Harumonia (ハルモニア , Harmonia) , a horror story about a cellist whose attempts to help a girl with a brain disease communicate through music lead to her falling in love with him and using previously unknown paranormal powers to hurt other people in his life, was published as a book and adapted by Nippon TV into a television drama starring Koichi Domoto, Miki Nakatani, and Akiko Yada. Her 2000 novel Hyakunen no koi (百年の恋 , One Hundred Years of Love) , about the problems experienced by a married couple with vastly different personal incomes, was adapted into a 2003 NHK drama. Her 1995 horror novel Natsu no saiyaku (夏の災厄 , Summer Calamity) , about a pandemic that strikes a town outside Tokyo, was adapted into a 2006 Nippon TV special program.
Seven years later, Shinoda won both the Yamamoto Shūgorō Prize and the Naoki Prize, but for different works. Shinoda’s collection Gosaintan: Kami no za (ゴサインタン: 神の座 ) , published in 1996 by Futabasha, won the 10th Yamamoto Shūgorō Prize. The title novella Gosaintan (ゴサインタン ) combines multiple genres in a story about a woman from Nepal whose arranged marriage to a Japanese farmer leads to confrontations with her husband’s mother, her own elevation as an object of religious worship, her husband’s subsequent financial ruin, and ultimately a new life in Nepal with more personal freedom but much worse conditions. Science fiction critic Mari Kotani has described Gosaintan as a story that “reexamines the true nature of romance” but also “openly exposes Japan’s stance toward Nepal”.
In 1990 Shinoda’s debut novel Kinu no hen’yō (絹の変容 , The Transformation of Silk) , a science fiction story about a biotech disaster that creates a monster and the social panic that follows, won the 3rd Shōsetsu Subaru Literary Prize for Newcomers. It was subsequently published in book form by Shueisha.
Setsuko Shinoda was born in 1955 in Tokyo. As a child she read manga by Sanpei Shirato as well as books by foreign authors such as L. Frank Baum, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Mark Twain, and aspired to become a manga artist. She graduated from Tokyo Gakugei University. Before beginning her writing career she worked as a municipal employee in Hachiōji, including working at City Hall and the municipal library. She began taking writing lessons at the Asahi Cultural Center intending to move into public relations, but ended up taking novel writing classes and writing her first novel.


I'm currently starting to write a blog on "Disruptive Innovation" in the Video Gaming Industry - more on this will come including a description of "Disruptive Innovation" itself.
Never less I would like to gather some information (data) on gaming from the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) and Next 11 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_11) countries.
So if you have some data, links or personal experience in video gaming in this countries please leave me a short post / comment.
Personally I'm currently working on a project in Russia - here especially the PSP and PS2 are still very popular (easy to copy) . For the same reason the XBOX 360 is also preferred over the PS3. When I talk to some companion russia-gamers (especially shooter-fans), it's often funny when they have to fight against their own digital fellows.
Also I read that the PS2 was last year officially launched in Brazil, of course there are some development / gaming studios in India and the South Koreans are MMO & Starcraft addicted.
Please leave me your comments, posts, links, ... and input / "drop" is welcome.

A few years ago, Millennial homebuyers were eager to live in the city. They liked the idea that they could walk to movie theaters, restaurants, and shopping centers.
But as more of them have started families, the suburbs are looking a bit more attractive these days. Realtor.com reports a number of suburban communities have become real estate hot spots in their own right, fueling price rises outside the city core.
The housing marketplace singles out Northeast/Montebello, Colo., a Denver suburb; Wylie/St. Paul, Texas, a suburb of Dallas; and Dublin/Dougherty, Calif., a suburb of San Francisco, as the nation's most prominent suburban hotspots.
Meccas for young families
“Suburbs are traditionally viewed as Meccas for young families, willing to trade in shorter commute times and urban nightlife for better schools and larger homes,” said Jonathan Smoke, realtor.com's chief economist.
But Smoke says the relationship between the suburbs and urban areas is intertwined. As urban home prices have shot up in recent years, and inventory levels have tightened, the more affordable suburban home prices have started to look a lot more attractive.
"Our analysis indicates 50 percent of buyers planning to purchase a home this spring indicated they preferred a home in the suburbs,” Smoke said.
Proximity to the city
But the analysis also shows that what often makes a suburb appealing to homebuyers is its proximity to an urban area, and ease of getting back and forth. Smoke says the suburbs that made the list are located just outside urban centers, which are themselves hot housing markets.
The suburbs on the list have also enjoyed recent explosive growth. They've seen an average of 18.8% household growth over the last seven years. That edges out the growth in other suburban and urban neighborhoods.
In some Sunbelt metros, the growth of suburban households has far outpaced urban growth. The realtor.com analysis found suburban areas of Austin, San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Jacksonville, and Houston grew by 18% to 27% between 2010 and 2017. That compares to just 7% to 16% for those metros' urban areas. Nationwide, population growth in suburbs exceeded urban population growth in 33 of 50 metros.
Realtor.com says the suburbs on its list are among the top 8% when it comes to the hottest real estate Zip Codes in the country. It says these homes received 1.6 times more views on realtor.com than the typical home in the study.

>There was another legal victory today, as a fitwatcher was cleared of obstruct police at City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court. The charge arose out of the anti BNP protests on election night at City Hall.
This now brings the total of Fitwatch legal victories to – well in all honesty, I’ve lost track of the score. Oh, but I do remember their score. A big fat zero.
Fitwatchers were also in court yesterday, in a trial which went part heard and won’t be continued until December. I wil leave it to someone who was there to write a proper account, but it was good to hear that DS Ken Norman from New Scotland Yard sat squirming, as his officers blundered their way through yet another Fitwatch trial.
These continued wrongful arrests and prosecutions are beginning to build into a very clear picture of unlawful harassment of fitwatchers. How many times are we going to be dragged through the courts before the cops finally accept intimidation is not part of their lawful duty?
Fitwatch is not about a few individuals, it is about a tactic – a tactic which has been adopted all over the country. We are not going away.

OAKLAND, Calif. – A viewer-captured image reveals a leopard shark swimming in Lake Merritt on Monday evening.
While this is an unusual sight, leopard sharks and other marine creatures occasionally travel from the San Francisco Bay to the lake.
In the past, local citizen scientists have reported sightings of bat rays, sea lions, and river otters in Lake Merritt, as reported by Oaklandside.
Members of the Lake Merritt Rowing Club have also observed sea lions and bioluminescence in the lake over time.
Lake Merritt is a natural, brackish body of water that was formed around 10,000 years ago, at the tail end of the Ice Age.
During the previous summer, the lake witnessed a surge in bat ray numbers and an algal bloom, which many experts believe contributed to a significant spike in fish mortality.
“This was deemed to be an outbreak of an organism known as Heterosigma akashiwo, often referred to as a harmful red tide of algae,” stated Jon Rosenfield from San Francisco Baykeeper.
The algal bloom from the previous year may have been triggered by an overload of nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, in the bay. These nutrients are likely to have originated from around 40 wastewater treatment plants that release treated water into the bay.
This year, there have been reports of an increase in the death toll of leopard sharks and bat rays in Berkeley’s Aquatic Park, according to Berkeleyside.

KHABIB Nurmagomedov has continued his war-of-words with Conor McGregor after remaining undefeated against Dustin Poirier at UFC 242.
The Russian warrior was called out by his Irish enemy after defeating Poirier with a rear-naked choke hold in the third round.
The two fought 10 months ago where Khabib came out victorious but it sparked a huge brawl outside the Octagon.
There is certainly no love lost between the two and the Russian fired another shot at McGregor by claiming he has zero respect.
Khabib said: "I want to forget the b******t with the last guy (McGregor).
"Me and Justin Poirier have showed MMA is about respect, not trash-talking.
"This fight had so much respect unlike my last fight with that b******t guy.
“When you go to a gym you respect the trainer, the coaches, your team-mates and your opponents. You keep the gym clean and tidy it."
Ferguson, the No2 ranked lightweight fighter, has first refusal but McGregor is next in line.
White said: "Tony Ferguson is next line (for Khabib) if he accepts the fight.
"We’ll see how this thing plays out, when Khabib will fight again, and if Tony wants to fight.
WHO BEARS WINS
KHABIB lives in the Russian Republic of Dagestan - dubbed the most dangerous place in Europe.
As a nine-year-old, his dad, an army veteran and former judo champion, put him through a tough training regime that included wrestling a wild bear.
Most read in MMA
"Tony Ferguson gets the next shot, and obviously, if for whatever reason Tony can’t take the fight or doesn’t want to fight at that time, then we would figure out what’s next.
"But yeah, Conor would make a lot of sense.
"Conor McGregor wants that fight really badly, and I’m sure the fans would want to see it.
"So we’ll see how this whole thing plays out."

I studied French, lived in France, and currently speak the pretty language pretty well. Living in the United States, however, doesn’t involve daily exposure to it. Therefore, I should read books written in French. In France, there is a thing called Folio. They publish books, and put numbers on them. I like to collect things, and I have seven of them, ranging from 2 to 3215. I have fully read 2 of them…
#2 L’étranger (The Stranger) by Albert Camus
#37 Le deuxième sexe (The Second Sex) by Simone de Beauvoir
#41 L’envers et l’endroit (The Wrong Side and The Right Side) by Albert Camus
#390 Les fruits d’or (The Golden Fruits) by Nathalie Sarraute
#805 La nausée (Nausea) by Jean-Paul Sartre
#882 Un barrage contre le Pacifique (The Sea Wall) by Marguerite Duras
#3215 L’Océantume (?) by Réjean Ducharme
I’ve read #2 and #882. I liked #882 a lot more.

Hey guys n gals
Where to start..? Been a long term plan from buying the S3 that I wanted to build up to the stage 1 map.. Well got everything sorted... Totally went over the whole car since I bought it and got it looking exactly how I wanted it, then it was time to do the performance upgrades. Started off by fitting the MTC intake with the ITG filter, then I fitted the GFB DV+ and thought I was good to go... Booked the car in for the map and got it done this morning.. Was really excited to be nearing the end of the mission and getting the car to where I wanted it, however my excitement was short lived! Instantly after getting the car mapped (Stage 1 Shark) I took it on the test run and there was a bit of clutch slip.... nooooo! Running it home (Approx 50 miles) Again more clutch slip but not all the time, only really notice it from 4th gear upwards... Anyway I knew a clutch upgrade was always gonna be on the cards, but thought that it would have gave me more time standard to save for the clutch!
I've got an early 08 8p2 and doing a bit of research I looks as if the standard OEM clutch was uprated as standard to a sachs clutch, but i'm guessing that was on the 58 8P3 when that has probably came into effect.
I'm looking into buying a sachs SRE setup, but its really an expense I was not wanting at present.. I'm wondering if I get the clutch, can I run this with the current LUK DMF?... I have absolutely no plans of adding anymore power to the car, so any future mods is not an issue.... Or do you think its possible once the map settles and with a while of standard driving the clutch will bed itself in with the upgraded power? (Noobish question?) The car drives fine at the moment normally, but the only other thing i've noticed is theres a bit of ticking noise coming from the exhaust when at idle and slightly through the lower rev range before engine noise drowns out the sound.... Any ideas what this could be, and if its normal? Done a bit of searching and a few folk says its normal, but it sure doesnt sound like its right...
I'm also noticing a lot of flutter through the intake aswell...1st time i've mapped a car, so dont know if all this is normal? The thing i'm really disappointed in is that the car was running perfect before I got the map done.. just wanted that extra 30-40hp though and its brought up so many problems...........
I'm quite disappointed and the thought of selling the car has actually went through my head... but love it, just want it to be done!
Back to the original question though, will the car be ok, running a SRE sachs clutch with my original DM flywheel..
The cars running:
Shark stage 1
MTC intake with ITG filter
Clutch slip instantly
Exhaust ticking (done a bit more research and it looks like its the exhaust flap clicking?)
Intake flutter (Again heard this is normal, but its just making all sorts of noises i'm not used to?)
Any advice is really appreciated in advance guys cheers.......
Thought i'd add a wee pic of the car aswell...

We invite you to view an exhibition of handmade books currently on display on the second floor of the Otto G. Richter Library. These books are the work of students in Professor Mia Leonin’s Introduction to Poetry class (English 292, Fall 2012), inspired by books in the Ediciones Vigía Collection at the Cuban Heritage Collection. Using the Vigías as examples, and with the expert help of Carol Todaro, a local artist specializing in book making, the students created their own books based on their experiences and interests.
As part of the CHC Research Colloquia, Leonin and Todaro presented on February 22nd about their experience using Vigía as a teaching tool in the Introduction to Poetry class last semester. Both professors could not be more pleased with the outcome of their classroom experiment.
“It was love at first site for me,” explained Leonin as she described her interaction with the Ediciones Vigía handmade books made in Matanzas, Cuba. Her artisanal approach to poetry writing, which she encourages her students to practice, involves allowing the archives to enter through all the senses and be expressed in the final literary product. The Vigías fit this model perfectly as each book possesses a distinct smell, feel and visual intrigue.
Over the course of six weeks last fall, the students were free to explore their own ideas about themes and topics while the professors offered advice on elemental book structure and guidance when needed. The result was a medley of works of all shapes, sizes and colors, much like the Ediciones Vigía books themselves.
“We just opened up a floodgate for these students to have a reason to make these books they’d always wanted to make,” explained Todaro.
Also on exhibit is What We Found Here: Miami Obscura, a collaborative class project inspired by Ruth Behar’s Everything I Kept/Todo lo que guardé, published by Ediciones Vigía in 2001.

He made her laugh with all her heart.
She showed him what true love meant.
Supporting each other through thicks and thins of life, they completed each other.
For years to come, they will become stronger together.
Mariam & Ahmed’s wedding was celebrated at Hyatt Regency, Dubai. The ballroom decorations were done by Elite Events. Mariam was beautified by the super talented Layaly, wore a customized bridal gown, Dior heels, and carried a bouquet from Exotica.
Dear Mariam & Ahmed,
Thank you for being the funniest couple ever. Your jokes, laughs, and hidden love in all of that you do will always put a smile on my face. Take care of each other as you do. I pray to the Almighty that you both love and cherish each moment of your lives to the extreme, ameen.
I’ve heard the phrase “…love is in the air!”
I understood the meaning while watching both of them.
Only if you could see the way he was looking at her, you’d believe that he wasn’t making promises of bringing her roses everyday. Or stars. Or even moon. He was making promises of brining colors into her life. And light. So she can watch her beauty and reflection into his eyes. All day. Everyday!
Mariam & Tariq’s wedding was celebrated at Al Jawaher RCC in Sharjah. The grand ballroom decorations were done in origami theme by Dream Wedding Services. Mariam looked jaw-dropping in her Esposa bridal dress, stunning Casadie Shoes, and carried a bouquet from Moz Flowers with a unique flower arrangement.
My darling Mariam & Tariq,
You two are the epitome of cuteness! Maryoom, I thoroughly enjoyed watching your perkiness and smiles from behind my camera. Tariq, I loved how you looked at Mariam every single time. As you start this wonderful journey together, I pray that Allah showers his mercy on both of you and blesses you both with a lifetime of happiness, colors, light, & endless love. All day. Everyday! ameen.
She has a heart of gold.
And a buzzing personality.
He is calm and charming.
Lighting up the room with her smiles and delightfulness, I watched how he smiled when around her. He was swooning over her beauty and lovely presence. And seemed satisfied with his own life which was about to be completed by her in it.
Amna & Nasser’s wedding was celebrated at Al Jawaher RCC in Sharjah. The ballroom decorations were beautifully done by Dream Wedding Services. Amna looked breathtaking in her Ezra Couture bridal dress, YSL Shoes, a stunning crown from Dar Tijan, and carried an absolutely unique bouquet from Moz Flowers with his and her names around it.
Dearest Amna & Nasser,
Thank you for being the way you both are. Humble, kind, and absolutely adorable ❤ Amoon, your style has left me in awe since our first meeting and as I got to know your beautiful heart, I have no doubt that you will continue to light up Nasser’s life with a buzz of your shining personality. May you two continue to love and cherish each other, forever and ever. ameen.
If I could describe her in one word, I’ll use Grace.
Her aura is calming. And presence so beautiful (mashAllah) that she, in her white bridal gown, was taking breaths away of everyone who came across her.
It might have been the reason that when he entered the bridal suite, he stood in front of her for an entire minute or two to compose himself. The smart and charming prince was speechless. Their eyes met, smiles spread across the faces, and invisible fireworks lit the room. And their lives as well….
Mira & Ali’s grand wedding was celebrated in Baniyas Ballroom of Grand Hyatt, Dubai. The garden themed decorations, high ceiling chandeliers, ballroom setup, and a very unique bouquet was provided by Flower Boutique. Mira wore a stunning bridal gown from Aiste Couture and shoes from Manolo Blahnik.
Dearest Mira & Ali,
Thaaaaank you!!! For your trust. For letting me witness all the beauty, sparks, fireworks, and your love. Thank you for giving me the memories to cherish. Thank you for the smiles and tons of laugh-out-loud jokes. And most importantly, thank you for your friendship! I pray to the Almighty that you both share a lifetime full of happiness, health, success, love and fireworks. Together & forever, ameen.
Thank you for everything! ❤
Tons of Love,
It was like a tsunami of people.
Jumping up the stage as well as each other to grab the money which was being thrown in the air. It’s always fun to watch (well, almost always). At traditional local Emirati weddings, when the men enter the ballroom towards the end of the wedding night, both sides of the families throw money in the air to show their happiness. The kids, their maids, nannies, and waitresses jump to grab that money.
I’ve seen it happening at almost all the weddings. Except, I saw something remarkable happen at their wedding. As the bride was covering her head and most of her face from the men, she couldn’t see the tsunami of people jumping towards her to grab the money. He stood in front of her to save her from being pushed or falling in the chaos.
I watched his confidence as well as prompt reaction and smiled. He stood there firmly like a wall protecting his breathtaking wife with a heart of gold. I had a strong gut-feeling that she must be smiling from under her veil. Knowing that he was there to protect her and be present with her through thicks & thins of life.
Lovely wedding of Zainab & Saeed was celebrated at Jumeirah Mina A’Salam. The ballroom was decorated by Sayedati Weddings. Zainab wore a stunning gown by The Gloss House from Abu Dhabi, Manolo Blahnik shoes, and carried a Fiore Design bouquet.
& they lived happily ever after….
Dearest Zainab & Saeed,
Your wedding day was as beautiful as you both are. Thank you for your trust and friendship. I have no doubt that you two will protect each other in all walks of life and be each others’ support. May you both make each other feel strong and always give each the sense of protection that I witnessed on your wedding day. I pray that the Almighty keeps you both blessed with happiness, success, health, and endless love, ameen.


If you’ve been on the internet at any given point in the last few months- you’d have no doubt heard all kinds of talk around blockchain and NFTs, and now even game publisher Ubisoft is looking to get in on the action. In a recent earnings call, Ubisoft CEO Guillemot detailed the French publisher’s plan to become a key player in the NFT-Blockchain space by developing play-to-earn games.
Essentially, play-to-earn games are exactly what they sound like – by playing the game, players will be able to earn NFT/Cryptocurrency. While that isn’t a concept that other major publishers have embraced, Ubisoft might be looking to be the first ones to spot. As opposed to earning actual currency, the idea from play-to-earn is to allow players to earn and own content.

Ubisoft looking to experiment with play-to-earn games in the near future
“As you see, this industry is changing regularly with lots of new revolutions happening. We consider blockchain one of those revolutions,” said Ubisoft CEO, Yves Guillemot. “It will imply more play-to-earn that will enable more players to actually earn content, own content, and we think it’s going to grow the industry quite a lot.”
Guillemot further added that Ubisoft has been working with small companies on the blockchain to map out the space and figure out exactly how to impact the industry. Recently, Steam took a stance on blockchain, crypto and NFTs by banning it off of their platform, but Epic on the other hand, was quite receptive to the idea.
Epic Games Store opened up the doors for crypto and NFTs on their digital storefront, so perhaps there is indeed a market for it in the games industry. Reportedly, Ubisoft has been exploring blockchain for a while now with the Strategic Innovation Lab experimenting with crypto and blockchain since 2018.


From: Rose Ejembi, Makurdi
Paramount ruler of the Tiv nation, the Tor Tiv, His Eminence Prof. James Ayatse has expressed hope that President Muhammadu Buhari would give assent to the Peace Corps of Nigeria Bill passed into law by the National Assembly.
He believed that the law seeks to address a “striking problem”, peace.
The Tor Tiv indicated this when he received the National Commandant of the corps, Ambassador Dickson Akoh in his Palace in Gboko, the administrative headquarters of Tiv Kingdom.
The Commandant was at the Palace on a visit to celebrate and congratulate the monarch on his ascension to the position of the most powerful Tivman world wide.
The Tor Tiv reminded Akoh that any noble venture encounters opposition and assured that he would not resign his support until the law receives the president’s assent.
Professor Ayatse said he places high premium on peace and that is why as an ambassador of peace, he has visited his counterpart from Idoma Kingdom to discuss on issues of peace in Benue State for “peace is all that we need.”
He appreciated the Peace Corps Commandant for the visit and blessed him to keep faith in serving the country and meaningfully engaging the youth for peace in the country.
Akoh, had earlier intimated the monarch that his outfit is not out to compete with the country’s already existent security apparatus but to contribute their quota for the sake of peace in Nigeria.
He also thanked the Tor Tiv for his support and encouragement in the push for the statutory establishment of the corps.
While praying for the monarch to live long, Ambassador Akoh was optimistic that given the background of the erstwhile two times Vice Chancellor, he will surpass the achievements of his predecessors.
