Pentax Pentax-D FA 645 55mm f/2.8 AL[IF] SDM AW Lens
New camera, new lens: this Pentax-D FA 645 55mm f/2.8 AL[IF] SDM AW Lens is the first model of the Pentax-D FA 645 lens series created for the Pentax 645D digital medium-format camera. With a focal length that's equivalent to a 43.5mm standard lens (in 35mm), it features optics optimized for digital photography to assure exceptional performance, and also provides an image circle covering the image area of existing 645-format film SLR cameras. It has dependable, dust-proof, weather-resistant construction for active outdoor photography.
This lens features a Supersonic Direct-drive Motor (SDM) autofocus drive and Quick-Shift for instant autofocus/manual focus switching, Aero Bright coating to help prevent flare and ghost images, and it's Pentax's first 645 system lens to incorporate a rounded diaphragm for improved bokeh (the aesthetic quality of the blur in the out-of-focus areas of an image).
Incorporating high-performance, hybrid aspherical optical element in its optics, this new standard lens (focal length equivalent to 43.5mm in the 35mm format) offers exceptional image-resolving power with outstanding brightness levels even at the edges, while compensating various aberrations to a minimum. All lens characteristics are optimized for digital photography: for instance, flare and ghost images are minimized by applying exclusive lens coatings to optical elements and employing anti-reflection materials for the interior of the lens barrel.
Versatile Standard Lens
When mounted on the PENTAX 645D camera body, this standard lens offers a focal length which produces an angle of view close to that of the human eye. As the result, it can be used for many different kinds of subjects and applications, including landscapes and portraits.
Dustproof, Weather-Resistant Construction
Seven special seals make this lens dustproof and weather-resistant. This lens coupled with the Pentax 645D camera body provides a durable, reliable digital SLR camera that performs superbly, even in rain, mist, or locations prone to water splashes and spray. The "AW" (All Weather) designation in the lens name testifies to the weather-resistant construction and it is rated to operate in temperatures from 14-104oF (-10 to 40oC).
Aero Bright Coating Dramatically Improves Image Description in Backlight
The Pentax original Aero Bright coating on this lens delivers brilliant, high-quality images by preventing flare and ghost images more effectively. This exclusive coating effectively reduces lens reflectance and greatly increases light transmittance by forming a silica aerogel layer with uniform pores on the surface of optical element.
Rounded Diaphragm to Produce a Beautiful Bokeh
The first Pentax medium-format interchangeable lens to feature a completely rounded diaphragm, it creates a natural, beautiful "bokeh" (out-of-focus rendition), while minimizing the streaking effect of point light sources.
Smooth, Quiet SDM Autofocus
The SDM (Supersonic Direct-drive Motor) autofocus mechanism operates smoothly and quietly using the supersonic motor installed inside the lens barrel.
SP Coating Blocks Dust and Dirt
The front surface of the lens is treated with Pentax's SP (Special Protect) coating, which applies a fluorine compound to the lens surface through a vapor deposition process. This SP coating effectively repels dust, water and grease, and also makes it easy to wipe off fingerprints and cosmetics.
Advanced Focus Options
Quick-Shift Focus system instantly switches to manual focus operation, after the subject is captured in focus by the AF system.

Teodora Blanco Núñez
Teodora Blanco Núñez (b. February 28, 1928 - d December 23, 1980) was an artisan in Santa María Atzompa, Oaxaca, Mexico who created her own style of decorative ceramics that influence the potters of her generation and those after in the region. The traditional ceramic of Atzompa has a green glaze, but that of Blanco Núñez is of natural beige and/or a reddish color from the clay. Instead, her work is distinguished by the creation of female and fantasy figures, profusely decorated with finely shaped bits of clay that are placed over the main body. It has since been imitated and reinterpreted by others in the region including various members of her own family, some of whom still work in the family compound that she lived and worked in.
Life and family
Blanco Núñez was born in Santa María Atzompa, a town where pottery-making is dominated by women. The town is known for its green glazed pottery (loza verde) as well as the making of chia pet animals, the most traditional being deer. These are traditionally made and the chia seed grown in come for Holy Week to be placed on altars. Her indigenous heritage is Mixtec, and worked with clay all her life, following the footsteps of her parents, who mostly made ashtrays, figures of monkeys called machines and small figures of musicians. She began when she was about six and soon her decorative elements on ashtrays stood out.
As she developed her ceramic work and it became known, she became relatively famous and wealthy for rural Oaxaca standards, able to send her sons to the city of Oaxaca for their education. However, she remained on the same land that she bought with her husband, Antonio Garcia Reyes, before she became famous but used the money she earned to build on the property and buy farm animals. This compound is still the home to most of the family and consists of two lines of buildings facing a courtyard, separated from the street by a wall.
She has been described as having a “witty and forceful with charm and presence” as well as an active and creative mind and was the matriarch of the family while she was alive. She taught all her children (two daughters and three sons) to work with clay but especially the eldest daughter, Irma, with the expectation that she would carry on the tradition.
Since her death, the family has carried on the tradition of making decorative figures with ornate decoration, but it is her son, Luis Garcia Blanco, who has carried on his mother’s business preserving much of his mother’s style but has added his own touches in faces. He works with his wife Maria Rojas de Garcia and the two daughters in the family compound.
Teodora’s tradition of creating female figures and a decorative style called pastillaje has become traditional for the Blanco family, carried on also by her brother, sister and a number of her grandchildren. Irma Garcia Blanco specializes in female figures and Alicia Leticia specializes in smaller figures, especially mermaids with well-crafted details. Bertha Blanco Núñez specializes in doll figures, especially images of virgins. Faustino Avelino Blanco Núñez works with his family to create a number of different ceramics, creating new works and entering competitions. He learned the basics from his parents but Teodora taught him her decorative techniques. However, not all her family became potters, Her son Arturo became a pharmacist and another son, Roberto, a teacher.
Since she was young, Teodora sold her wares at the 20 de Noviembre market in the city of Oaxaca. In the 1970s, a foreigner in the market was attracted to her work and offered to buy all of her production. He then pushed her to increase the variety of her work and she experimented with clay models of churches, decorating them with flowers and angels, as well as figures of animals common to the area such as donkeys, iguanas, ducks, pigs, cows, goats and more. Her breakthrough product was that of heavily decorated female figures heavily decorated with small pieces of clay pressed on top of the figure. Over time the figures became more varied and more complicated. She eventually worked with various government agencies as well as the Rockefeller Foundation.
Teodora’s work made her notable by breaking away from the local pottery tradition but also enhancing it, influencing the ceramics of the region for both her generation and those after, as her work was imitated and reinterpreted by other artisans. Her work brought attention to the pottery traditions of Santa María Atzompa and assured it would remain important among the many pottery communities of the Valley of Oaxaca.
For this, she won many national and international prizes, other recognitions and has been the subject of many articles. She was invited to events such as World Crafts Council meetings in and out of Mexico
Blanco Núñez developed her style over time, in general making her pieces more ornate and leaving behind the traditional green glass of Atzompa ceramics. However, her use of fine detail and decoration on ceramics is not entirely new for the area. The use of fine lines and elements as decoration can be traced to ceramics of the fourth century CE in Atzompa and Ocotlán, both in decorated earplugs as well as necklaces made in the same way. The use of small dots made with balls of clay can also be found on pre Hispanic pottery in Oaxaca and Guanajuato. Much of this use evolved and changed over time with the blending of Mixtec and Zapotec cultures.
Her trademark was the use of finely shaped pieces of clay that were pressed onto the main sculpture to create details and decoration. This is most often called “pastillaje” after the frosting decoration on Mexico’s special occasion cakes but also called “bordado” (embroidery). The female figures reflect the life and traditions of rural Oaxaca, including the appearance of colonial Oaxaca style filigree earrings, rebozos, necklaces and clay pots, including the large “apaxtles” used to boil corn in lime water. She also made figures in scenes such as dances, weddings, baptisms, funerals and Christmas nativity scenes. These elements often include flowers, leaves, tendrils and vines and often evoke the jewelry worn by women in the area.
Her female figures were called “monas,” an affectionate term meaning “female monkey” as well as muñecas (dolls), juguetes (toys) or simply “figuras." The dimensions of her monas varied but the proportions stayed the same. The figures are of a stocky build, with the waist around the halfway point and the head accounting for about one-quarter of the height. Her largest female figures were life-sized. Both large and small pieces were made with fine detail and faces with the same tranquil expression with eyes having a slightly Asian look, reflecting those of Teodora Blanco herself.
She also created allegorical figures with elements of fantasy, influenced by the Atzompa tradition of creating small animal figures with human qualities, such as playing musical instruments. Her fantasy figures include humans with animal heads or horns and women nursing animals. This work reflects traditional beliefs, especially in nahuals which in her region have both a positive and negative relationship with humans. One such figure is a very large piece at the Casa de Cultura in Atzompa, a goddess of fertility figure, designated as such by eighteen breasts and the goddess’s many sons climb over her and an image of the moon is above the scene. Anthropomorphic figures and elements were almost always female, with exceptions such as archangels and king figures for nativity scenes.
Working in a windowless workshop, all of her pieces were created with rudimentary tools and materials: clay, water, a “turntable” consisting of a plate resting on an inverted bowl, a strip of newspaper or leather, a thorn (chaquixtle) and a flat piece of metal. The clay was brought from nearby Cacaotepec and was mixed with sand as a temper and strained through a fine mesh screen. As it is worked, it is black, but firing turns it beige with a red tinge.
She began her figures by making the body, which started out as a lump of clay formed into an elongated cup and further extended with coils of clay. The head was extended from the top of the body. Smoothing and detailing was done with her fingers constantly dipped in water and later by scraping with a piece of metal. After the main aspects of the piece were done, it generally sat for two days before she began to apply the pastillaje and extra elements. The reason for this is to let the body harden enough to support the weight of the new elements. The eyes were formed by very thinly rolled bits of clay, whose ends are placed together into an almond shape, giving them and Asian look. They were spaced far apart. These and other pastillaje elements were gently patted on by hand or if they were added using the thorn. The thorn was also use to inscribe even more delicate indentations into the work such as eyelashes. The large pieces with elaborate embellishments took her between two and three weeks to complete before firing. She signed her work with her initials and complained that others copied her work including her signature. She worked with two kilns, one larger than the other and heated them with ocote wood. The fire was lit in a separate space below, with pieces to be fired laid carefully in the upper chamber, using pieces of broken pottery to stabilize them. After firing the pieces are finished. Blanco rarely applied color to her pieces, and when she did, it was a red clay slip for contrast with the natural beige color.

My quilt buddy Amy G. asked me to machine quilt her hand appliqued, hand embroidered Sue Spargo quilt. She offered to pay me too, so I think that qualifies as my first "commission!"
Amy G. is a master and she works almost entirely by hand. She also hand quilts all her quilts. But this one is made with mostly wool applique... and there are many layers of wool in some parts, which means it would be nearly impossible to hand quilt.
So, its over to me and the trusty Bernina to machine quilt it! Fingers crossed. :)
This is a bit intimidating, actually. If I sew for myself, I just go for it and don't worry too much. But, as you can see from the pictures, Amy has put a lot of hand work into this, so the challenge will be to enhance those embellishments, and not detract from them! I hope I don't screw it up. But I guess that is why God made seam rippers.
My plan is to try to mimic the circles and lines with tiny free motion lines (and thread) that blend into the background. We've already picked some beautiful Aurifil threads.
Next, I will quilt designs on top of the birds... also in a matching thread. Luckily I have a huge selection of thread colors! My Aurifil rack is below, just waiting for me to get started!! Choosing the perfect thread will be a lot of fun. I just hope my machine quilting skill can match Amy G's handwork.
More to come as I make progress. For now, I'm linking up with Freshly Pieced Wednesday WIP!

WWE took its first NXT TakeOver special to Chicago on Saturday night, and you can imagine what the biggest worry would be inside of the Allstate Arena.
The Chicago crowd are always rowdy, and they make it their mission to get the CM Punk chants going in the attempt to hijack the show – some enjoy it, while others don’t.
NXT TAKEOVER: CHICAGO
Surprisingly, not many Punk chants crept in on the epic night of wrestling which saw Bobby Roode, the Authors of Pain, Asuka and Pete Dunne all leave with titles, and the majority of NXT fans actually reacted to what was happening inside of the ring rather than trying to get a Punk chant started.

However, the excitement surrounding Punk was at a different level this time around and it was all because of an interesting picture that was doing the rounds on social media.
Whenever big-name guests are in attendance at WWE shows, cameras focus on them as a nameplate appears to let the viewers at home know who the individual is.
We had that at TakeOver too, with Kevin Owens, Kassius Ohno, Pat Patterson and Sami Zayn in attendance; but it was a completely different picture that had fans wondering whether we’d be in for a massive shock.
As you’ll be able to see below, a picture with CM Punk sitting amongst fans sent social media into frenzy with the TakeOver graphics displaying his name.
PUNK IN ATTENDANCE?
As you can imagine, plenty of fans were excited that this could lead to something huge, considering he’s distanced himself from WWE since his sour exit in 2014 – and it remains highly doubtful he’d be there as a fan and the company would acknowledge it.
Their excitement was short-lived, however, as the eagled-eyed CM Punk fans spotted that the image looked strikingly similar to something they had seen before.
Unfortunately for them, it was just a hoax as it was revealed that the image was actually when CM Punk was in attendance at a UFC event alongside his wife, AJ Lee.
It was a decent effort from whoever created the image, as he even added the WWE watermark in the bottom corner which you see on the Network along with the ‘LIVE’ on the top right to make it look more genuine as he managed to fool some fans into thinking a return was on the cards.
Plus, there’s no way an unlikely Punk appearance at TakeOver in his home city would fly under the radar – it’s simply not happening.

Although we only had 5 days, we squeezed in a wine tour and a food tour! The wine tour brought us out the the countryside to tour family cellars and vineyards. Great trip, good wines and tasty snacks. The countryside is so charming. I started to consider how I could get myself in the wine business so I could be a part of these adorable little villages.
On our food tour we walked through some beautiful parts of town and heard history about food and Budapest. One of my favorite parts of the city is the little statues and monuments around the city. I have no idea what they were for, but they were everyone. Budapest also has quite a hip scene. One section of town has been adding art murals to older buildings. They also have been turning ruined buildings into bars. The crumbling building and mismatched furniture gives a fun ambiance.
We had coffee across from one of the train stations seen below. The architect? Mr. Gustave Eiffel!
On our own accord, we hit up some great spots that served up potato pancakes, chimney cakes, a delicious breakfast place with my favorite eggs benny, and, of course, mucho pork. Although it may be a bit taboo to say, I could have done with more vegetables in my life:)
But guys, guess what…we went to a MICHELIN STAR restaurant! This is extremely exciting news for us! Since Budapest is more affordable that much of Western Europe, so is their food. So, we could actually afford and meal at Onyx…for lunch:) Our food tour guide told us that the chef at Onyx is the best in Hungary. He apparently won a big award in Europe. We had a delicious three course meal with wine pairings. Bites included local Hungarian boar (mangalica), goulash, fresh water fish, quail eggs and two delicious desserts. We couldn’t decide which was better.
Another, more humorous, part of our meal was that we were sat right next to a solo food blogger, I’ve guessed. I have now sworn that, although blogging is fun, I shall never become a food blogger because I was so judgmental about him taking pictures and notes about his food. It’s getting cold already!

Fourier Spectroscopy with the Michelson Interferometer
The method of deducing spectral lines by recording the intensity of interference fringes was pioneered by Michelson in 1891. He did not experiment in depth with the technique due to the difficulty of taking and analyizing data. At the time, the Fourier transform of the data was taken by means of a harmonic analyzer, a machine with over 80 mechanical elements1.
Today, Michelson's experimental technique has been refined to employ light sensitive devices for taking data and use computational methods for analysis. These advances have rendered Fourier spectroscopy a topic easily covered in the undergraduate laboratory. Understanding this process requires a knowledge of interference theory and Fourier transformations. It can be shown mathematically that taking the Fourier transform of the fringes in a moving interference pattern gives the spectrum of wavelengths present in the light source.
Interference and the Michelson Interferometer
Interference is a phenomenon that occurs when two photons of light interact with each other in such a way that their waves sum to either increase or decrease their total amplitude. Complete constructive interference occurs when two electromagnetic waves are of the same frequency and in phase; destructive interference occurs when two electromagnetic waves of the same frequency have a phase difference of one-half wavelength. When complete destructive interference occurs, no light can be detected. Similarly, complete constructive interference results in intensity quadrupling (intensity is proportional to the square of amplitude). The following picture demonstrates these effects.
the two waves, in phase, add to produce a wave of greater amplitude/intensity.
the two waves, with phase difference of ½ wavelength, add to cancel all amplitude.
For more information on wave interference click here.
The interferometer is a device invented by Michelson which allows study of the effects of interference. It takes a single beam of light and splits it into two perpendicular paths of variable length. The light then recombines and the interference effects are observed.
The interference pattern for a Michelson interferometer is circular-- that is, it produces concentric circles of light and dark "fringes". When one mirror on the interferometer is moving, the path difference between the two split beams of light changes, and the interference pattern is seen to move as in the following animated gif.
Using a photomultiplier tube (PMT) or similar light detecting devices, it is possible to monitor the interference pattern as the path difference changes. The resulting graph of light intensity vs. time at the center of the pattern is known as an interferogram.
The Fourier Transform
The relationship between the motion of the interference pattern and the Fourier transform can be derived from the equation for the combined amplitude of the two mutually coherent light beams in the interferometer1. The equation modeling this interaction is
where tau is the amplitude, Delta is the path difference between the two beams, k is 2Pi/lambda, and C is a constant. The intensity of the combined beams is proportional to the square of the amplitude:
For light with a spectral distribution of S(k) then the intensity of the light emerging from the interferometer is given by
Meanwhile, a separate reference beam has an intensity of
Thus, the intensity as a function of path difference is
The integral appearing inside the above brackets is known as a Fourier cosine integral. It also coincides with the inteferogram produced by monitoring the intensity of the moving fringes. It is assigned to the Greek letter Phi.
From the Fourier integral theorem, the inversion formula may be obtained,
Thus, the previous two equations constitute a Fourier transform pair. Notice how they correspond with the analogous equations for the Fourier transforms:
Following this derivation, the Fourier transform of the interferogram obtained by monitoring the intensity of a moving interference pattern will give S(k), the discrete wavelengths present in the light source.

Scared of DMPS
Forum: Mercury Toxicity Forum
Is it possible to completely chelate mercury with natural supplements only? I've read so many warnings about DMPS such as it can leach nutrients from the body causing side effects. I'm sure my body is chronically deficient in certain nutrients because of the health problems I've had related to mercury toxicity for over a decade. So I'm really concerned about using a product that could cause harm, even though I'm DESPERATE to rid my body of heavy metals because I want my health back asap.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

Miami Dade College presidential claims she invited, then enrolled, gang members. Officials have doubts.
Reagan Romali’s interview for the job of Miami Dade College president was going well right up until she was asked about how she dealt with inner city crime in Chicago.
Romali, who served as the president of Harry S Truman College on the north side of Chicago from 2011 to 2017, told the presidential search committee that she had done the “unorthodox” to try to reduce violence around campus.
“One thing that I did is I called in the leaders of all three gangs,” she told the committee in a video interview.
Romali took a breath: “Yes, it’s true. And I met with them. And I said, listen, you clearly have strong business sense. You have a sense of familiarity and building teams. You could use those strengths that you have and better your life if you come here for an education.”
“They kind of looked at each other and they agreed,” she continued. “And so that dramatically reduced the crime on campus. And guess what? Many of them enrolled in classes and graduated.”
That anecdote came toward the end of Romali’s roughly 75-minute interview in June. Search committee members were left wondering about the gang story. One member pointed out that Romali, currently the superintendent-president of Long Beach Community College in California, never mentioned that experience in her application.
“Hard to believe almost, right?” said former federal prosecutor Bob Martinez after the committee ended the video conference with Romali.
So hard to believe, in fact, that Board of Trustees chairman Bernie Navarro, who also heads the search committee, asked the headhunting firm being paid up to $150,000 to find a successor to outgoing President Eduardo J. Padron to investigate her story.
Efforts by the Miami Herald to corroborate Romali’s Chicago story were unsuccessful.
Romali, who is the first of four finalists giving presentations at the Wolfson campus Monday and Tuesday, did not return multiple emails, calls and text messages asking for specifics about that story.
Pervez Rahman, who served as vice president of academic and student affairs under Romali until he retired in 2017, said he watched a delivery man shot and killed in gang crossfire across the street from Truman College. He said he remembers conversations about gang violence between police and politicians but doesn’t recall Romali’s playing a role.
“I do not recall ever being informed Reagan was having a meeting with these gangs, and I was quite aware of her schedule,” he said. “However, I did not know where she was at all different times.”
Katheryn Hayes, a spokeswoman for City Colleges of Chicago which oversees seven colleges including Truman College, said the colleges were “not in a position to be able to confirm or deny this information.” She encouraged a reporter to “speak to Dr. Romali about specific contacts who would be best able to confirm this information.”
Cheryl Hyman, the former chancellor of City Colleges of Chicago and now a vice provost at Arizona State University, said through a spokesman that Romali was a “great president who did many innovative things during her tenure.”
While Hyman asked the campus presidents she worked with to be active in the community, “she did not ask them to report back on each instance of outreach they engaged in,” ASU spokesman Skip Derra wrote in an email.
“She does not recall the specific incident mentioned,” he said.
Chicago Police were unable to check Romali’s claim.
“I am not familiar with this story,” wrote Richard Thale in a text message. Thale is the courts advocate for the Town Hall Police District, a Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy beat facilitator and president of the Uptown Chicago Commission. “Reagan was a great administrator during her time at Truman College.”
Navarro said he went off script to ask Romali about inner city violence in Chicago and how the lessons she learned there could translate to Miami. He said he did not have prior knowledge about Romali’s alleged meeting with gang leaders.
“You don’t need to make something up to be the beacon of hope for the community,” Navarro said. “I don’t know why she would make something up. That would be an issue.”
Kim Morrisson, a managing director at Diversified, did not return calls and emails requesting comment. Diversified reached out to Romali to apply for the job. She was immediately placed into the “active” candidates category for priority consideration.
Romali listed a doctorate in education from Walden University, an online for-profit university. She also cited improvements among earned degrees and certificates at Truman College that are called into question by a report that says City Colleges of Chicago, ”softened standards and manipulated data in the pursuit of better graduation rates.”
The other finalists giving presentations on Monday and Tuesday are Divina Grossman, president and chief academic officer of University of St. Augustine of Health Sciences in Florida; Paul Broadie II, president of Gateway Community College and Housatonic Community College in Connecticut; and Lenore P. Rodicio, executive vice president and provost at Miami Dade College, the sole internal candidate. All presentations will be livestreamed at www.mdc.edu/livestream/.

Sochi Olympics. On a scale of 1 to 10, in your opinion, how likely do you feel that terrorists will strike during the Olympics?
1 being least likely and 10 being a guarantee that terrorists will pull something off. Today I read this article that has airlines flying to Russia on alert for toothpaste tubes that could be used to make bombs on board the plane. My gut feeling is we only get to read about a fraction of the activity that goes on concerning terrorist probes and so far there has been a lot of reports of probes and threats.
So how do you rate the chance of something happening during the Olympics? Do you want to take a guess what the terrorists might do?

In this interview he talks about the challenges of pacing 16 hours of game play with enough scary moments and staking claim to the sci-fi horror-survival genre.
Das Gamer: As the creator of a horror game, what actually scares you?
Glen Schofield: Spiders. I hate them. Not sure its fear,...

The Sonic movies were a huge hit for the franchise, the hype kept interest in the series high and everyone excited for the next game, Sonic Frontiers. Now, it’s clear that Sonic Team is taking inspiration from the movies, and an attack in Frontiers comes from the previous sequel.
The blue blur is spotted by Sonic fans playing demos ahead of the game’s launch in January. A simple sequence, which leaves Sonic glowing with bright blue energy, can be a big difference between his eyes and using the Cyloop ability. Eagle-eyed fans have noticed that this is beaten for the same time we see in the Sonic 2 movie, suggesting we might see more references to it in the final game.
GAME VIDEO OF THE DAY.
Related: Sonic Frontiers is fantastic, but I want to be dumb.
The initial video, which appears to be taken from the Sonic Frontiers demo at EGX London, shows the player turning around with the new Cyloop ability. After they complete three loops, they receive a short clip of Sonic harnessing some kind of blue energy.
After that, Sonic can run even faster than before, going through Frontiers’ centralized landline. Whether this will unlock other abilities, like being invisible against enemies, or even being able to shatter them by simply encountering them, is unclear.
Despite previous tests, there would be no movement below Sonic’s belt.
If you’re in the UK and can try out Sonic Frontiers if you can, a demo can be obtained from EGX London over the weekend. We have long had to try Frontiers at various conventions. Although it’s unclear if this very unique Sonic game can hold the landing.

Just days after Franken issued an apology to Leeann Tweeden, a Los Angeles-based television anchor who accused him of forcibly kissing her and groping her during a 2006 USO tour to the Middle East, Lindsay Menz, 33, claims the senator groped her buttocks in 2010.
According to Menz, the incident with Franken happened in a booth inside a state fair sponsored by her father, the Guardian reports. Franken, already a senator for two years, reportedly came in during an event and the two decided to take a photo together.
"It wasn't around my waist. It wasn't around my hip or side. It was definitely on my butt," Menz said, while noting the interaction lasted three or four seconds.
The fact that it was Menz's husband who was taking the picture just adds to the story.
The picture itself shows the two people standing close, their heads touching, but neither their hands nor their bodies below their shoulders are visible.
A woman tells CNN that Al Franken grabbed her buttocks while she was taking a photo with the sitting US senator in 2010. Franken says he doesn’t remember the photo and feels “badly” that she felt disrespected. https://t.co/MlOuFCqKai pic.twitter.com/yHTbGR34gC— CNN (@CNN) 20 ноября 2017 г.
Franken responded to the allegation by saying he does not remember taking this picture, but still feels "badly," for the situation.
"I take thousands of photos at the state fair surrounded by hundreds of people, and I certainly don't remember taking this picture," Franken said in an interview with CNN. "I feel badly that Ms. Menz came away from our interaction feeling disrespected."
Some had hoped Franken might make the Democratic Party's 2020 presidential list. According to a Washington Post article, "Franken was beloved among Democrats, someone who's smart and actually understands policy, but is also witty and performs well on television."
Franken's statements have been contrite.
"I respect women. I don't respect men who don't," he said regarding the first episode with Tweeden. "And the fact that my own actions have given people a good reason to doubt that makes me feel ashamed."
US President Donald Trump, a man accused of a variety of sexual misconduct and a man on record as having used his wealth and power as a cover to grope women, took the opportunity to scold the Democrat.
"The Al Frankenstein picture is really bad, speaks a thousand words," Trump Tweeted, referring to a picture of Franken groping or pretending to be groping a sleeping Tweeden.

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 22 — Former Asian International Arbitration Centre (AIAC) director Datuk Sundra Rajoo today denied allegations made in Court of Appeal judge Datuk Hamid Sultan Abu Backer’s affidavit claiming widespread judicial interference.
The Star Online reported that Sundra lodged a report at the Sentul police station this afternoon against the senior judge.
“The report is lodged as the claims made against my client is untrue. Although no names were mentioned, my client is the one implicated in the affidavit,” Sundra’s lawyer Datuk Baljit Singh Sidhu was quoted saying.
Sundra quit AIAC last November after the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) arrested him when an anonymous letter was sent to the anti-graft body and other government officials, accusing him of using public funds to influence ministers to extend his contract as AIAC director.
Sundra, who previously led AIAC for nine years, was released when he invoked diplomatic immunity and has not been charged with a crime.
Hamid Sultan alleged in his affidavit that the award in the case of Asean Bintulu Fertiliser Sdn Bhd v Wekajaya Sdn Bhd & Another Appeal in 2018 written by “the KLRCA (now AIAC) director” in the AIAC director’s capacity as arbitrator had come under scrutiny.
“The complaint there was that he had taken six years to hear an arbitration case and thereafter four years (after submissions by parties) to write the award.
“Indeed I was shocked how a person of his conduct has survived in the industry and was a long-term director of KLRCA (now AIAC) and how did the appointing authority of KLRCA (now AIAC) were not able to trace the shortcoming or arbitration practitioners have not blown the whistle. These by themselves warrant MACC to investigate corrupt practices if any in the institution orchestrated by Malaysians,” wrote the sitting judge.
Hamid Sultan also complained that the Federal Court expunged part of his dissenting judgement in Leap Modulation Sdn Bhd v PCP Construction Sdn Bhd last year upon an intervention filed by AIAC.
“That was done without hearing any right party in opposition and by making an order in the nature of consent judgement in a manner unprecedented in commonwealth jurisdictions. In addition my direction to my registrar to lodge a report to the IGP (inspector-general of police) as well as to MACC was also expunged.
“A fundamental jurisprudence issue related to public law cannot be expunged but can only be overruled by apex court,” he wrote.
AIAC acting director Vinayak Pradhan told news portal Malaysiakini that neither Leap Modulation or PCP Construction had objected to the AIAC’s application to intervene and to expunge parts of Hamid’s judgement.
Vinayak said Hamid’s judgement was shocking and claimed AIAC was not given the right to defend itself.
Hamid reportedly said in his dissenting judgement that AIAC’s “monopoly” on domestic arbitration violated the rule of law. He also questioned the fees collected.

The smart Trick of Cleaning Products That Nobody is DiscussingTo unclog a stuffed-up drain, start out by boiling about two cups of drinking water. Pour ½ cup of baking soda into your drain, and then include the drinking water when it’s continue to nice and sizzling. If that doesn’t do the trick, Stick to the baking soda with ½ cup of vinegar, protect it up tightly (a pot lid should really work nicely), wait around until eventually the fizzing slows down (when baking soda and vinegar occur in contact, they’ll react by fizzing) and after that include a single gallon of boiling water.
Despite the fact that there will be some specialty products you can want for specified added tough or sensitive cleaning circumstances, most cleaners should really be capable to do much more than simply cleanse one or two matters.
Some cleaners disinfect surfaces. They contain an antimicrobial agent to lessen the bacterial populace that life on soiled surfaces. This kind of agents can consist of pine oil, quaternary ammonium compounds or sodium hypochlorite.
Youngsters from your poorest households are three times much more likely to be admitted to healthcare facility on account of an accident, including accidental poisoning.
275: the volume of Energetic substances in antimicrobials that the EPA classifies as pesticides as they are made to get rid of microbes.
As soon as you’re accomplished cleaning the lavatory, it’s time to create oneself clear (or at the least your palms). For making a non-harmful, foaming hand cleaning soap, combine collectively liquid castile cleaning soap and drinking water (and A vital oil if Biocidal Products Regulation and REACH you are feeling like it) inside of a foaming soap dispenser. Fill about a single fifth in the bottle with soap, then best it off with drinking water.
Irrespective of the consequences of publicity to indoor air pollutants, the government doesn’t regulate or assess the safety (or maybe labeling) in the vast majority of cleaning products available on the market. The EPA, In the meantime, only regulates cleaners that consist of registered pesticides.

Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) gives alkalinity in a relatively decreased pH. It is useful for buffering formulations that can Speak to the pores and skin and for other uses the place mildness is important.
All You must do is flush your rest room, sprinkle a package of Kool-Assist lemonade around the sides and scrub that has a toilet bowl brush. Allow this sit for many several hours (right away is best), and then flush in the morning.
I just commented on your own Baking Soda submit, but intended to go away my gratitude on this write-up at the same time! I'm new to this entire planet of pure cleaning products and with this article am about to make the leap. I’m so influenced! Thank you!!!!
Some products also contain additives for helping remove oil-centered and h2o-centered stains from home furnishings.Substances may well include things like a light-weight hydrocarbon oil utilized for dust select-up. An natural solvent will be the active ingredient for removing of oil-centered stains; h2o could possibly be current to pick up water-centered soils.
Without the utilization of a surfactant, h2o has a tendency to “bead up” in droplets. This beading slows down the wetting from the surface area and inhibits the cleaning course of action. Surfactants make h2o “wetter.”

(CNN)It was a laugh that was heard around the world.
It was also a laugh that the world — or at least its leaders — had at the expense of President Trump.
Beginning his speech at the United Nations General Assembly this week, Trump didn’t appear to expect the humorous interlude as he launched into a recital of his achievements in office to date.
There was no serious stumble, but a short pause, perhaps taking in what was happening.
Hold on to that word, “respect.” It’s at the core of Trump’s worldview.His takeaway from the laughter is that he’s reversed Obama’s lackluster record on respect, telling reporters: “The United States is respected again. The United States was not respected. Everybody was taking advantage of us.”
If the inauguration crowd discrepancy is anything to go by, Trump is going to feel the need to scratch this itch again with reporters. But for those who actually laughed at the UNGA, there may be a different cost to their irreverence of the President.Deeper into his speech, Trump had this warning for the other 180 plus leaders: “We are taking a hard look at US foreign assistance … Moving forward, we are only going to give foreign aid to those who respect us and frankly are our friends.”
Once caught in Trump’s ire, world leaders find it hard to shake — just ask Canada’s Justin Trudeau and Germany’s Angela Merkel.
After Trump stormed out early from the fractious G7 summit in Canada this summer, he accused Trudeau of being “dishonest,” later tweeting: “PM Justin Trudeau of Canada acted so meek and mild during our @G7 meetings only to give a news conference after I left saying that, ‘US Tariffs were kind of insulting’ and he ‘will not be pushed around.’ Very dishonest & weak.”
As the spat with Trudeau grew, Trump turned transactional on all Canadians: “That’s going to cost a lot of money for the people of Canada.”
By the time Trudeau came to New York for the UNGA three months later, Trump’s grudge — or trade negotiating tactic — had hardened, saying he had rejected a meeting with the Canadian PM. Why? “Because his tariffs are too high, he doesn’t seem to want to move and I’ve told him forget about it. And frankly we’re thinking about just taxing cars coming in from Canada.”
Those who know they laughed at Trump at the UNGA might also want to reflect on the fate of the German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Even before he was President, Trump was giving her a hard time, criticizing the number of Mercedes Benz vehicles on the streets of New York. Months later, during her first meeting with Trump at the White House, he refused to shake her hand.Fast-forward to this summer and Trump blasted her at the NATO summit in Belgium for falling short on military spending. At the UNGA , he tore into her for a gas pipeline from Russia. “Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course.” Trump’s beef with Germany is chiefly about EU trade and regulations. Merkel is arguably the most influential European leader. But her two Achilles heels for criticism and isolation from the EU herd are NATO contributions and the gas pipeline.
The lesson for UN delegates who may have laughed is this: Hope you don’t get found out.
President Trump likes respect. He won’t forget. And he may get the last laugh.

new trailer releases
Srijit Mukherji’s Hindi remake of Rajkahini, Begum Jaan, follows the lives of a group of women who live (and work) at a brothel that sits in the splitting line of India and Pakistan, during Partition.
Here’s the trailer for the third installment of his Love in a Puff series, which continues following Jimmy and Cherie in their bumpy road to whatever type of relationship they have.
An expert linguist is recruited by the military to communicate with a race of aliens who have initiated first contact with humanity with a distinct language.
A contemporary crime drama Bengali adaptation of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, and Antony and Cleopatra.


To remain on the road legally in the United Kingdom, your vehicle must be roadworthy and for any vehicle over 3 years old, you must put it through what is referred to as an MOT test. This test is for the benefit of you and other road users, and without it, your tax and insurance is essentially invalid. You definitely don’t want your car to fail the test because if you have to pay to take it again, it is going to cost you a pretty penny. That’s why it makes sense to take it to a garage that understands the requirements to pass the test.
There are a number of garages that also act as an MOT centre in Bradford-On-Avon and so they know exactly what to do to make sure that your vehicle breezes through the test. Here are a few things that they will check.
- The brakes must be in good working order, so they will check the brake lines, shoes and pads. If there is any rust or they need to be replaced, that will be done for you.
- The tyres are also an essential part of the driving experience and so the tread depth must conform to a certain depth. If they don’t confirm, then they need to be replaced.
- All lights on the vehicle must be fully functional and that includes any lights that appear on the dash. Your car will not be able to pass the test if the warning lights are featured on the dash.
Many other things are checked to make sure that your vehicle passes the test first time. They know what they are doing, so trust them.
