Things We Need To Tell Growing Up Girls To Raise Them To Be Strong Women
It is the 21st Century and the society has grown up quite a bit. Women are being empowered, taking leadership roles and breaking stereotypes on a daily basis. However, this still doesn’t mean that the society has become an equal space as women still battle sexism and misogyny. Girls are raised with a certain idea about how they have women are supposed to be and it does hinder their social growth as they find themselves internalizing the ideas of a patriarchal world.
Things can change only if young girls are given the right life lessons that enable them to grow into strong women. Here are things you need to tell the young girls around you to make sure they grow up into strong women:
1. They’re not put on this planet to be someone’s daughter, sister, wife or mother. They’re their own individual self.
2. They’re body is theirs and they can wear a skirt or a saree depending on their choice instead of giving in to the ideas about how a girl should dress up.
3. They have the right to say no: to relationships, jobs, sex and everything that makes them uncomfortable.
4. Their worth isn’t dependent on their shape or size. They’re beautiful the way they are.
5. They can be whatever they want to be, no matter what the world tells them.
6. They shouldn’t be the girl using the phrase ‘I’m not like other girls’ because pitting girls against girls leads to no female empowerment and only furthers sexist stereotypes.
7. They should aim at being financial independence because it gives them authority over their own life.
8. They can occupy any space and at any hour of the day or night. The public spaces are theirs as much as they are their male counterparts.
9. Periods are a natural process when it comes to womanhood. They’re not dirty or anything to be embarrassed of.
10. The honour of their family is not in the middle of their legs.
11. Don’t judge other women for the way they choose to live their lives.
Strong words to raise strong women!

Ideally, the Basquaise sauce should be served very warm but not piping hot, to accentuate the flavors of the summer vegetables and the tuna. Amazing Seafood Recipes
Heat 1/3 cup of the olive oil in a large enameled cast-iron casserole. Add the onions, prosciutto, shallots, thyme, garlic and bay leaves and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onions begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and cook until softened, about 12 minutes.
Add the bell peppers and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the eggplant and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the zucchini and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the wine and simmer over moderately high heat for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes longer, then add the V-8 juice and tomato paste. Simmer over moderate heat until thickened, about 15 minutes. Discard the thyme and bay leaves and season with salt and pepper.
Preheat the oven to 425°. Heat 2 large ovenproof skillets. Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to each skillet. When the oil shimmers, add 2 tuna steaks to each skillet and cook over high heat until deeply browned on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Turn the steaks over and transfer the skillets to the oven. Roast for about 8 minutes, or until the tuna is pink inside. Transfer the tuna steaks to a carving board.
Ladle the sauce onto 2 large platters. Slice the tuna across the grain 1/2 -inch thick. Arrange the tuna on the sauce, pour the pan juices over the tuna and serve very warm but not steaming hot.
The vegetable Basquaise can be refrigerated for up to 1 day. Reheat before serving.
The best red wine match with meaty, slightly oily tuna is a light-bodied Pinot Noir. One from Alsace would be ideal.

The son of the owner of the Orange Grove factory outlet has told the Independent Commission Against Corruption the Carr Government minister Joe Tripodi was "a coward and a liar" for not supporting the centre.
Nabil Gazal jnr said he believed Mr Tripodi did not stand up for the centre and for what was right.
On the final day of hearings of the long-running Orange Grove inquiry, Mr Gazal jnr told how he had agreed to type up a statutory declaration for his friend Joe D'Agostino, a lawyer for his father's company Gazcorp who was also Mr Tripodi's lawyer.
The document was expected to support three other statutory declarations from supporters of the Orange Grove project about Mr Tripodi's role in the affair.
But when he finished typing it, Mr Gazal jnr said he realised what it contained and said to Mr D'Agostino: "Joe, this is bullshit!"
The other affidavits had described comments allegedly made by Mr Tripodi about contact he had with the Assistant Planning Minister, Diane Beamer, over the future of the centre on the outskirts of Liverpool.
Mr D'Agostino's affidavit did not contain the same references to conversations with Mr Tripodi. The inquiry was earlier told that Mr Tripodi allegedly said Ms Beamer had informed him the Premier, Bob Carr, had intervened after an approach by representatives of the rival shopping-centre group Westfield Holdings.
Mr Tripodi, Ms Beamer and Mr Carr have all denied such a conversation took place or that any intervention happened other than an exhortation from Mr Carr's office that the project be done strictly by the rules.
Mr Gazal jnr told the commission yesterday in a sworn statement that Mr D'Agostino had said to him: "Mate, I'm Joe's friend and solicitor. I don't remember exactly, so I only want to put the things I do remember.
"I think we should talk to Joe before we do this. This has serious implications on his life. The guy's just got married, for God sake."
Mr Gazal said he replied: "Look what they f---ing did to us in the last month."
Under cross-examination, Mr Gazal said he believed Mr Tripodi had acted in a cowardly manner. "He did not betray us, he didn't stab us in the back; he was a coward for not stepping in and doing what was right."
"It shows the personality of the man," Mr Gazal jnr said.

Speed Analysis of Yawing Passenger Vehicles Following Tire Tread Detachment 2019-01-0418
This paper presents yaw testing of vehicles with tread removed from tires at various locations on the vehicle. A 2004 Chevrolet Malibu and a 2003 Ford Expedition were included in the test series. Speeds up to 60 mph were achieved. The vehicles were instrumented to record speed, steering angle, yaw angle, wheel speeds, and other parameters. The tire marks on the roadway were surveyed and photographed.
Critical speed analysis has long been used by Accident Reconstructionists for calculating speed at the beginning of a yaw. Traditionally, the method has been used to calculate the speed a vehicle with four intact tires. The critical speed model is extended to include the analysis of speed of vehicles following a tread detachment event. It was found that the critical speed formula produces results of acceptable and known accuracy provided the appropriate inputs are used for the given situation and several guidelines are observed. The inputs and guidelines for the use of the critical speed formula for the case of tread detachment are discussed.
Additional speed analysis of the same tests was conducted with the simulation package PC-Crash. Modifications were made to the TM-Easy tire model within PC-Crash to account for the removal of the tire tread. The physical evidence from each test was used to simulate the tests, and a range of speeds for each test were determined. The accuracy range of the PC-Crash simulations is reported.

Donald Trump hates negative poll numbers so instead, he cherry picks polls, such as Rasmussen. He’s even gone as far as to say that any negative polls about his so-called presidency are ‘fake news.’ This time, though, he’s bragging about the straw poll taken at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). The straw poll indicates that Trump supporters are Trump supporters and nothing more. Trump went all Republican-caps to tout the poll.
“BIG CPAC STRAW POLL RESULTS: 93% APPROVE OF THE JOB PRESIDENT TRUMP IS DOING (Thank you!),” he tweeted. “50% say President Trump should Tweet MORE or SAME (funny!). 79% say Republicans in Congress should do a better job of working with President Trump (starting to happen).”

Despite Trump bragging about the CPAC straw poll numbers, half of the attendees disapproved of the former reality show star’s Twitter habits. 40 percent said that he should tweet less, while 35 percent said that Trump should tweet more. Apparently, Trump thinks the CPAC poll reveals that Americans think he’s doing a great job, but the respondents are his supporters.
Trump’s approval rating has dipped back below 40%, a new poll released on Wednesday found. Trump’s approval rating now stands at 37%, slightly down from 40% approval earlier this month.
But, Trump just got confirmation that his own supporters actually support him. That’s some breaking news right there.

The Board of Directors of the St. Francois County Joint Communications Center, which provides 911 calls for St. Francois and Ste. Genevieve Counties, at their Wednesday morning meeting, voted to move forward with massive upgrades that could cost up to $4.1 million and that their consulting firm says will significantly improve the unity, quality and response time of emergency services because of improved communications would.
For more than 90 minutes, the board members walked through logistics, finances and the process by which Center Director Alan Wells will lead the project, which would affect communications for law enforcement, fire and rescue units in the two boroughs.
Board member Ginger Taylor, chair of the 911 Center Budget and Finance Committee, said the size and value of the project to taxpayers made the extra time and focus during the discussion, which was marked with questions about the cost of the additional radios , to a need towers and for the $125,000 consulting firm fee, which would be included in the estimated $4.1 million cost.

“This back and forth is because this board has never taken anything lightly,” Taylor said late in the talks. “You know, we’re looking at every possible option to make sure we’re making the best informed decision that applies to our counties. We take our job and our roles very seriously.”
Assistant Director Chuck Farr presented a PowerPoint slideshow based on insights from Rey Freeman Communications Consulting that showed that the cellular, handheld, and pager radios used by St. Francois County authorities vary by make, model, and—most importantly – Ages and abilities varied widely, some from the 2000s. Most radios are purely analogue, with very little sporting P25 capabilities.
P25 is key to the project – Project 25 is the next phase of digital communications for first responders, but the technology can work backwards and forwards with both analog and digital radios and allows for encryption so that crucial communications between first responders are not the Case intercepted by third party. The flexibility of the P25 technology has led to a wide variety of radio manufacturers, which should allow for better price competition.
In updating first responders’ communication skills, the consultancy found that approximately 50% of existing radios could be used with a new system. Sufficient upgrading of all radios to P25 digital technology that would allow responders to communicate regardless of the thickness or density of building materials – such as metal roofs or concrete block structures common in healthcare facilities and schools – would be in addition to the 4.1 US Dollars about $1.5 million cost millions for the improved radio system equipment and services, expanded mast locations and various important things like FCC license fees and system training.
The $4.1 million option was a mid-range option, the board members rejected the patchwork option to upgrade the analog simulcast and the “Cadillac” option of the P25 bundle simulcast, which requires more expensive radios and equipment, that would have added $326,000 to the final price.
“It (the digital P25 option) will greatly enhance what we’re trying to do now,” Farr said during the presentation. “And the radio coverage will be much better than it is now. We would be doing multi-site simulcasts, meaning we’re going to be broadcasting from all of these additional Tower sites, not just here at 911 or Simms Mountain. It will greatly enhance what we are trying to do now. You can’t imagine how good it’s going to be.”
Board member David Pratte, who chairs ISO’s 911 center committee, said fire chiefs were already discussing the P25 route.
“After last month’s meeting, we had a fire chiefs and officers meeting, we’re all trying to get a FEMA grant that would get all fire departments on P25 radios,” he said. “Two counties are interested, St. Francois and Ste. Gen. If some of the other counties are interested, we might seek a regional grant. We want to work concurrently with this project in the P25 area and be ready to move forward.”
Wells noted that while improvements to Simms Mountain Tower helped, new, more solid building designs threatened the efficiency and effectiveness of older communications technology.
“Even if we just changed all these cell phones and wearables and extenders for everyone, look at an investment of almost $8 million,” he said. “So this is the best option and will allow us to improve and save lives and property – and protect our responders.”
After board members agree to proceed with P25’s mid-range digital option and continue to work with Rey Freeman Communications, Wells will begin reviewing financing options that may be presented to members for approval.
Funding for the 911 center was stabilized earlier this year, and voters made permanent its sales tax funding mechanism, which would have gone under after a previous bond issue that undertook renovations, expansions and improvements to the center at Park Hills Industrial Park. The bonds were redeemed earlier than planned.
In another store, Desloge Board Member and Police Commissioner James “Jebo” Bullock announced that on September 30 from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. police officers, emergency responders and firefighters will be invited to North County High School for training drills related to active shooting. He said about 40 people have already registered for the free hands-on exercise.

Today, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services released a new data table on our variant webpage that shows SARS-CoV-2 variant proportions by Health Care Emergency Readiness Coalition (HERC) region. The variants page now also includes information on two additional variant strains of SARS-CoV-2 – variants B.1.427 and B.1.429. DHS first identified these variants in Wisconsin in December 2020, and is now tracking them and displaying them publicly following the CDC’s recent classification update on March 17, 2021. These strains were recently upgraded from variants of interest to variants of concern. SARS-CoV-2 variants are common as viruses change constantly through mutation. The CDC has established criteria for identifying variants that may be more worrisome than others. DHS, using CDC’s criteria, publicly reports on variants of concern.
“With new variants spreading in Wisconsin, we are updating our variant data page to include more detail about where these variants are being detected,” said Deputy Secretary Julie Willems Van Dijk. “Because these new variants of concern spread more easily than the original strain of SARS-CoV-2, it is important to get vaccinated when you are able. Vaccines, along with our other public health practices, give the virus less of an opportunity to spread and mutate.”

RBS to sell Mideast M&A business
Dubai, January 16, 2012
Royal Bank of Scotland plans to sell its mergers and acquisitions business in the Middle East and cut several jobs as part of a global restructuring at the UK lender, its regional head said on Monday.
Simon Penney, RBS' chief executive for Middle East and North Africa, said the bank would focus on debt products, risk management and transactional banking.
'We'll be selling our M&A business in the region,' Penney told Reuters. 'It is a global decision to exit cash equities and M&A. We had some pretty good mandates live and we'll see all deals closing. We will honor all client obligations but we won't be originating any new business.'
RBS said last month it was working on four M&A deals in the region including Saudi Arabia-based Aujan Industries sale of a 50-percent stake to The Coca-Cola Company for $980 million. - Reuters

Council Candidates: Newport Can Do Better
NEWPORT CITY – Four city residents are facing off at a chance to win one of two seats on the Newport City Council. Incumbents John Wilson and Tim de la Bruere are going up against Mark Guyette and Peter Holden.Tim de la BruereDe la Bruere is seeking his third two-year seat. He likes the council because there are no political lines. Instead, it is five “everyday people” in the city who come together to deal with municipal issues. De la Bruere served on the North Country Union High School Board for about a year and a half and was a member of the Vermont School Board Association. He served on the Vermont Commission for Native American Affairs, under the Gov. Jim Douglas administration, for five and a half years. The accomplishment de la Bruere is most proud of is following the wishes of city voters and not installing water meters in all single-family homes in Newport City. De la Bruere wants to make sure the upcoming paving projects don’t bottleneck traffic. The city has an opportunity to get a bridge and nice road structures. However, the city can learn from mistakes made in other communities and figure out how to make “the best go” while ensuring businesses prosper.While serving on the North Country Board, de la Bruere learned the importance of reviewing policies. “Policies aren’t something that are meant to be written and locked away for 15 years,” he said.De la Bruere said local businesses are struggling, but said that is an issue in every community. He said he supports expanding the city’s industrial sector and the council also needs to support businesses that are not on Main Street. “It’s exciting to see where we can be in the next ten years,” de la Bruere said of the city as a whole. John WilsonWilson has been a council member for 10 and a half years. He joined the council when Art Aiken resigned and moved out of the area.Initially Wilson didn’t think he’d serve the city for over a decade. He thought it would be a good way to give back to the community. “It’s been an honor to serve the city and represent the voters in the city for over 10 years,” said Wilson. “I hope I represented everyone to their satisfaction during this time and hope the voters will give me two more years.”Some of the things Wilson is most proud of are the upgrades to the sewer plant, the new water treatment facility, upgraded equipment on the fire department and upgraded infrastructure along Route 105. Wilson is also proud he went along with city voters’ decision and voted no to water meters.Wilson is proud he only missed two council meetings during his tenure - one was for a funeral and the second was due to illness. Three years ago, Wilson’s fellow council members named him as council president. As part of the role, it’s up to Wilson to fill in when the mayor is not available.Wilson said he’s been fiscally responsible with the taxpayers’ money. Sometimes that means he has to be tight when it comes time to spend taxpayer money. Wilson thinks there will be a testy period during the next couple of years. The state will shut down and replace the Long Bridge. It will also pave Route 5. Wilson believes the projects will be good, but motorists will be inconvenienced.The arrival of technical employers, a downtown hotel and the Tasting Center will also be good for the city, Wilson said. He added that in the next 10 years he really believes Newport will have a more vibrant downtown and a bustling waterfront.Wilson said he is not afraid to speak up for what he thinks is right. Peter HoldenHolden, who has been in Newport City his entire life, formally served on the Newport City School Board. He also served on the Newport City Fire Department for 15 years.“I’ve seen a lot of changes in Newport,” he said. “Some good, some bad.”Holden said he thinks he can give voters a different opinion in the way the council does things. However, he said, he’s not saying the council is dong a bad job. “I just think it’s time for a change,” said Holden. He said he has not done anything for the city for about five years. “Now it’s time to give back.”For the past couple of years, the city has been missing a positive attitude, said Holden, who, as part of his job at Memphremagog Rentals, works with many municipalities in the region. He said everyone there seems to be kind. He stressed he wasn’t saying Newport isn’t kind and he said he loves Newport, but he feels attitudes need to be better.“People aren’t always wrong,” said Holden. “It’s time for the council to listen to everybody. They need to be heard.”Holden said people do not need to be hesitant to approach the council with him on it.Newport needs development, said Holden, who added that, years ago, downtown stores would be open until 9 p.m. on Friday night. Back then, he said, there were numerous stores in the area.“We need to grow,” he said. “The city has to work with anyone who can bring something in and make it work. It’s happening (now), but everyone needs to communicate better.”However, Holden feels Newport needs more than retail, since many people shop online.Mark GuyetteGuyette is running because he wants to bring a different prospective and views to the council. There are some things that can be changed for the better. This includes notifying people and getting more people involved in making decisions, he said.“With projects coming up, I think we’re going to have a lot of issues in the city this year,” he said. Guyette was particularly speaking about replacing the Long Bridge and repaving Route 5. “There will be traffic issues.”There is not much anyone can do but get through it, Guyette said.Guyette, a longtime Newport businessman, has gotten involved with a lot of projects such as sponsoring local sporting teams. Guyette would like to see Newport get cleaned up so more people would want to come to the city.“We have this waterfront, we just need to capitalize on it,” he said. “We need more business. That is one of the things we need.”The city needs to revitalize Main Street, which may mean tearing down some of the older buildings, Guyette said.“It’s time to bring ourselves into the next century,” Guyette said. “I want to bring us into the next era.”Guyette is also concerned there is not enough affordable housing.

I have been holding on to this old/dated, wooden box. The rounded lid design is cute, and that’s probably the only reason I have kept it this long. It had some old tapestry type fabric covering part of it………not my taste any longer (I’ve literally had this thing for almost 2 decades). This is where it began. I meant to snap a picture of it before painting it and forgot. So, visualize if you will, a dark wood trim. Needed to shabby it up a bit.
I gave it a quick once over with some homemade chalk paint that I had leftover from a furniture rehab. Literally, I basically slapped it on there……I wasn’t going for ‘neat’. Then, I decided to cover the tapestry areas with some natural burlap, also left over from making table runners for my neighbors. I cut it to size, folded the raw edges under and hot glued it down.
Roughed up the edges with a quick sanding and used a wood stain marker to antique/distress the edges. Used some stencils that I already had on hand and painted on the No. 3. (not sure why the 3……just thought it looked the best, plus it’s my favorite number. Yes, that’s a little dorky). And that was it. All completely FREE!

When it comes to choosing the right mattress, it depends on individual preferences and specific back conditions a person has. Many people change their mattress very often complaining that they don’t get relief from back pain issues. For instance, people with osteoarthritis may prefer to sleep on their sides with their knees curled up. The only way they can get relief is to sleep in a reclining chair or on an adjustable bed that allows the head and knees elevated.
A herniated disc doesn’t ruin your life, but it sure ruins your sleep. Disc pain makes standing, lying down or sitting for prolonged periods of time very painful. It takes a lot of patience to deal with herniated disc. Those of you with disc pain need to get rest when going through it. So here comes the point where you need to choose the right mattress for herniated disc. Finding the right mattress for a herniated disc is important for that recovery process and for getting relief from pain.
Apart from herniated discs in the lower back, there are people who suffer from herniated disc in the neck, slipped disc, bulging disc, etc.
Shopping for a mattress for those with herniate disc/ bulging discs/ slipped disc/ herniated disc in the neck
Damages to the disk can be very painful. Finding the right mattress to sleep on, reduces the pain to a large extend. Finding the right mattress for individual needs is a tough option and will differ for individuals. Sleeping on a wrong mattress worsens the back pain. A good mattress will help for better sleep by relaxing muscles.
A good mattress will offer support, firmness and also comformability.
The mattress type to be used also differs for different types of sleepers.
For back-sleepers, a mattresses should be firm enough to support the lower back and soft enogh to contour to the body. So a medium firm mattress is ideal.
For side sleepers, the mattress can be softer to support the hips and shoulders.
Stomach sleepers need a mattress which is firm. Most stomach sleepers sleep on their stomach because of the pain in the back.
So before you pick your mattress, you need to know your comfort. Your comfort depends on the location of your herniated disc. The sleeping position can also help alleviate the disc pain and the associated nerve pain that comes with it. If you have a herniated disc, then lying on your stomach would give you more relaxed feeling. A herniation in the neck requires supportive pillows along with appropriate mattress.
Doctors recommend firmer mattresses because they offer more support for the spine. The trick is finding a mattress that is not too firm, as a hard mattress triggers pressure points.
Choosing the right mattress for herniate disc/ bulging discs/ slipped disc/ herniated disc in the neck
Memory foam and latex mattresses are the most preferred mattresses for those suffering from back pain. They provide the right amount of firmness, support and also comfort. A gel memory foam also helps keep the body cooler than the traditional memory foam.
A number of companies offer good memory foam mattresses at affordable prices. Depending on the sleeping position, try out a medium firm mattress, as very firm mattresses can trigger pressure points and cause more pain.
Once you have come to know your comfort position for a herniated disc, here comes the next phase of selecting the mattress. Since the location of the disc and the symptoms vary from person to person, the only way to discover the right mattress is to simply try them. Get to your nearest store with your herniated disc and try as many beds as you can. Experiment with memory foam mattress, innerspring, latex and gel memory foam mattress to see which feels good for your back. Give 15 minutes time for each mattress.
Memory foam mattress for herniated disc? Some of the best types of mattresses for herniated discs
Memory foam mattress works really good for disc injuries. Being originally developed by NASA, memory foam mattress offers support for your spine and relieves pressure points. This is ideal for those who sleep on their side as a too firm mattress triggers pressure points in the hips and shoulders.
Another reason why experts recommend memory foam mattress as the best mattress for people with herniated disc is because memory foam mattress conforms to your body as you sleep thereby supporting you. This means that while your hips and shoulders sink into the mattress, the foam still supports your lower back. Memory foam mattresses come in different densities and thicknesses. A 3-pound density is less firm than a 5-pound density. A 4-pound density mattress offers a medium level – both soft and firm. Look for open cell memory foam mattress for herniated disc as this technology does not heat up the way regular memory foam does. Normal memory foam mattress tends to retain your body heat.
A number of companies like Saatva, Amerisleep and iComfort have good memory foam mattresses to alleviate back pain. Some like Lifekind and Astrabeds have natural latex mattresses which give satisfactory results.
Wright mattress – the memory foam mattress for herniated disc
With so many brands in the market and the deceiving marketing techniques, its confusing to choose the right mattress. But for those who are looking for a mattress that can provide comfort and support for a herniated disc, you can rely on Wright luxury memory foam mattress.
The result of Wright W1.27 came out to the market after a lot of researches and studies including 27 different models. The technology and materials used in for Wright mattress help to cope with skin allergies. When it comes to comfort, Wright mattress offers you 4 layers of different comfort with the top offering you gel infused memory foam layer. On a 11 inch of Wright memory foam mattress, the top is 1.5 inches are made out of 5 lbs memory foam that is quiet a density compared to other brands. It gives a balance between soft and firm. This means that sleepers who prefer a cool sleeping surface could find the mattress warmer than a gel foam. Still the mattress could be one of the best mattresses recommended for herniated disc patients.
Apart from Wright mattress, there are some more mattresses that are good for back pain patients. Lets have a look into it;
Dynasty mattress 12-inch gel foam mattress
Dynasty mattress comes with a 12-inch gel memory foam mattress that offers a 120 day trial period and a 30-year limited warranty. The trial period allows you to see if there is any change in your disc pain. The mattress comes with 2 free gel pillows, which help in adjusting your sleep positions. This in turn minimises your disc pain and improves spinal alignment. A high density foam supports your back while the gel infused mattress keeps you cool.
Miliard gel memory foam mattress topper
Mattress toppers help to provide support and comfort to an existing mattress at a reduced price. If your doctor advised you to get a firm mattress and you prefer softer mattresses, a gel foam mattress topper from Milliard could be the best choice. The gel foam technology keeps your mattress cool by alleviating pressure point. Miliard gel memory foam comes with a density of 3 pound which is quiet nice and soft.
Saatva is a strong contender for producing some of the best mattresses for back pain. Saatva is also the official mattress for Healthbridge Sleep, which is a premium clinic in the Northeast to help people with sleep issues. Saatva mattresses use luxury coil mattresses. They have tempered steel coils to prevent sagging and individually wrapped comfort coils to contour to the body shape. There are also three levels of firmness to choose from, Firm for back or stomach sleepers, Luxury firm which suits all types of people, and Plush soft for side sleepers. Luxury firm is the best for people with back pain. Saatva mattresses also have some of the lowest prices for their mattresses when compared to their competitors as they sell their mattresses only online. Saatva is highly recommended by orthopaedics, chiropractors, and other specialists for those with sever back pain and lower back pain.
Amerisleep, Helix and Bear also offer very good mattresses for back pain. Their prices are also very reasonable.
Coop home goods memory foam pillow
Once you have done with the mattress for herniated disc pain, consider buying a memory foam pillow to help position yourself comfortably. Placing a pillow under your stomach, your knees or under your neck can help alleviate the disc pain. A herniated neck requires the support of pillows in addition to a good mattress. One of the good quality pillows is the Pure Talalay Bliss Latex/Down Pillow
The Coop Home Goods memory foam pillow are made with shredded memory foam that is machine washable. The good thing I liked about this pillow is that it offers a 5-year warranty with a 30-day return policy to ensure customer satisfaction. Also, the pillow is resistant to dust mites and hypoallergenic.
Although there are innerspring and latex mattresses available, not every mattresses will suit you. Ultimately, the best mattress for herniated disc in the back must help the patient feel relaxed and refreshed without any pain and stiffness is the recommended mattress for. As a matter of fact, its been the memory foam mattress with a density of 4 pounds that has found effective for herniated disc patients.

|I wish I had the literary talent to have written this thought provoking soap opera. Perhaps all those who agree with it could take responsibility. Please keep it on the board as it is important for people to get the message through humour. Remember what Bette Midler said "**** em if they can`t take a joke!" Perhaps we need to get some local Mexicans in the script who aren`t benefitting from the boomtown mansionality.|

This book gives a comprehensive history of the Choctaw tribe. I knew little of them before this book. The Choctaw’s were one of the last civilized tribes. The Choctaw women were not view as inferior as women were at the time in White culture. Choctaw’s viewed reading as important and really supported their children going to school. Not just the boy but they wanted their girls in school long before society thought they should. One common theme throughout the book as westward expansion really screwed the native Americans.
Jefferson never intended his humane policies for the Indians to prevail. He wanted to make them farmers which made them stuck to one piece of land so the government could but up the rest.

Adalbert Cserni (1842-1916) entered the collective memory as a professor at the Catholic high school in Alba Iulia; he was a naturalist, archaeologist, historian, numismatist, geologist, astronomer and photographer. A complex personality, he was also the first director of the local museum and is still regarded as one of the most important specialists especially in ancient history and archaeology.
Cserni earned his doctorate at the University of Cluj on 20 April 1882 with a thesis entitled Ideas concerning the changes of the surface of Earth. From 1880, he became interested in archaeology. He was one of the founders of the Society of History, Archaeology and Natural Sciences of Lower Alba County (1887) and collaborated with the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum and Archaeologiai értesitö (Archaeological Papers). One of his most important works was The History of Lower Alba County in the Roman Age (1901), which drew together and interpreted the results of all his archeological excavations. For posterity, equally important was his passion for photography. He made the earliest photos of the city and its everyday life, dating from the last decade of nineteenth century, using the technical equipment of that age. Photographic glass plates (790 pieces), as well as photos on paper or celluloid (461 pieces), offer images of archaeological excavations, monuments and everyday details of life in Alba Iulia around 1900. There is a wide variety of subjects, ranging from religious vestments, family life poses, portraits, images of the former museum of the city and snapshots from his home and courtyard.
While Adalbert Cserni was a highly academic personality, Arthur Bach (1894-1979) was a professional photographer who took over the trade from his father, Karl Bach. Inheriting the workshop located in the center of the lower city, close to the narrow gauge railway station, he worked there until the end of his life. He left us the other rich collection of photographs which allow us to see how the former city looked. Bach’s work was continued by his wife, Irina (maiden name Fekete), and daughter, Heda, until the 1980s when their workshop was demolished during Ceaușescu’ systematization. The Arthur Bach Collection contains 266 photos—189 glass plates and 77 celluloid—taken between 1930 and 1950. Alba Iulia municipality purchased the collection from the Bach Family, who moved to Germany. The subjects varied from general views of Alba Iulia, Abrud, Aiud, Blaj, Zlatna, Hunedoara, Orăștie, Uioara, Întregalde, Brad, Țebea and Geoagiu Băi, to natural features such as Cheile Gălzii, Cheile Râmețului, Scărișoara and Huda lui Papară, as well as buildings, houses, markets, parks (Lumea Nouă), historical monuments, and events and traditions such as the Girls’ Fair on Găina Mountain.

Senior MPs are furious after being told they will only have 20 minutes to grill Boris Johnson on Dominic Cummings and a string of other topics.
The PM is set to appear before the Commons Liaison Committee – which is mainly made up of the chairs of other Select Committees – tomorrow for 90 minutes.
But Bernard Jenkin, an ally of Mr Johnson who was installed by Number 10 as the committee’s chairman last week, told members they should only expect a fraction of that time to ask questions on a series of Covid-19 topics including Mr Cummings.
Furthermore, some senior MPs who were expecting to be invited to take part in the committee have been told they are not.
Tobias Ellwood, chair of the Defence Select Committee and Tom Tugendhat, chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee, both say they have not been invited to take part in the grilling.
The slot will include questions on “Dominic Cummings, roles and responsibilities, Covid-19 ‘war cabinet’, coordination with Scot/Wales/NI”.
The newspaper also reports unhappiness that there is not opportunity scheduled to question the PM on relations with China, or any other aspect of foreign affairs or national security.
The remaining hour and ten minutes will see MPs question the PM on coronavirus science, testing, tracking, plans to reopen schools and restarting the economy.
Our daily politics newsletter is there at 8.30am to guide you through these turbulent times.

Downing Street put up Tory MP Bernard Jenkin – a key Vote Leave figure – as the only candidate for the chairmanship of the powerful Liaison Committee.
It’s the only Parliamentary Committee which can compel the Prime Ministers to appear before it and answer questions.
Mr Johnson has never appeared before the committee since becoming Prime Minister, having cancelled three scheduled appearances under different chairs.
He agreed to a 90 minute session only after Sir Bernard was appointed.
Opposition MPs and Tory rebels failed in a bid to block Sir Bernard’s appointment last week, branding the appointment “shameful” and “autocratic”.
Previously the Liaison Committee has been made up of chairs of other parliamentary committees – and they have chosen who leads it between them.
Sir Bernard does not sit on a Select Committee.

Composite cure ovens are becoming larger than ever to accommodate enormous composite parts that require vacuum bag curing and post cure.
When a leading private space exploration company decided to manufacture its rocket fairings out of composite material, instead of the aluminum alloys used in the past, it would be breaking new ground. These would be the largest composite fairings ever made. Composite materials must be cured in a high-performance oven capable of heating and cooling at a strictly controlled rate and maintaining very tight temperature uniformity throughout the heating chamber.
In order to cure these fairings, the company purchased the largest composite cure oven ever manufactured. The oven had a heating chamber that was 34 feet wide x 90 feet long x 32 feet high and a load capacity of more than 100,000 pounds with a maximum temperature rating of 500°F. In order to ensure the temperature inside the oven was within tolerance, the oven had to pass a uniformity test using test thermocouples to measure the air temperature at 210 locations within the heating chamber. After the equipment was installed and final adjustments were made, the thermocouples all measured within ±10°F of the oven set point at three different temperatures. To achieve this feat, the oven featured a 272,000 CFM (cubic feet per minute) blower system, which recirculated 1.2 million pounds of air per hour across the parts. (Figures 1 and 2)
The oven also had an extensive vacuum system required for vacuum bagging the parts. It used 100 individual vacuum ports, each capable of operating at a different separate vacuum level and maintaining each of them using closed loop control.
The oven airflow system was designed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, which simulated the air circulating throughout the heating chamber and around the parts in three-dimensional space. Through this airflow modeling, it was determined the best airflow pattern was bottom-up, in lieu of the more conventional combination airflow using supply ducts on the side walls of the heating chamber. In order to provide the bottom-up airflow pattern, a large supply duct was buried in the floor under the load and had air supply louvers on the top to direct air vertically upward and through the heating chamber. The duct was the same width and length as the heating chamber. This thoroughly bathed the load in heated air, and left no areas where it could bypass around the parts.
Aerospace ovens become more intelligent with Industrial IoT
Over time, all industrial equipment will experience wear and become vulnerable to breakdown, and this includes industrial ovens. In the aerospace industry, a single load being processed in an oven can have a value of well over $100,000. It is critical, therefore, that unexpected shutdowns be minimized to avoid the loss of a load. The latest technology to ensure maximum oven uptime and avoid shutdowns is an industrial IoT (Internet of Things) performance monitoring system.
The IoT system tracks the performance and health of a variety of oven components and operating conditions such as motor vibration, controller output percentage, chamber pressure, motor speed, current draw, burner operation, and many others. The system features an IoT gateway, which collects information from predictive maintenance sensors that gather performance data from the oven. The gateway wirelessly transmits the data to a cloud platform where it is displayed in dashboards designed for viewing and analytical monitoring. Thresholds can be set around warning or alarm conditions, and when exceeded, the system alerts the oven manufacturer or the end user of the anomaly. This allows time to schedule preventative maintenance and minimize unplanned downtime. Since the system uses cellular data transmission and does not connect to the factory network, it does not create a security vulnerability. Industrial IoT also provides the ability to monitor the energy consumption of the oven, allowing the owner to achieve optimum efficiency by adjusting the temperature and other curing parameters.
In addition to predictive maintenance, an IoT system can diagnose problems arising from improper oven adjustment or operation. If the oven has suddenly started consuming more energy or producing improperly cured parts, the IoT system can often determine the cause (an incorrectly adjusted exhaust damper or a burner that needs cleaning, for example). The IoT system can also reveal if the oven is not being operated properly — if an operator is leaving the door open too long during loading/unloading, for example, wasting energy and money. Perhaps the biggest benefit is that all of this is done without a service visit from the oven company, meaning the issue is resolved in hours, instead of days or weeks, at a much lower cost. (Figure 3)
Advanced control and data acquisition for out of autoclave processing
With the increasing use of vacuum bag composite processing for aerospace components, there is a need for more sophisticated control and recording systems to optimize the curing process and track the data collected. The end user must be concerned with both the vacuum level and the temperature of each part and have this information recorded, archived, and time stamped. This is necessary so that, if there is an improper cure leading to failure of a part in the field, it must be trackable to the specific oven load. (Figure 4)
The core of the system is a PLC using special software designed specifically for vacuum bag composite curing. The temperature is controlled via input from one or more thermocouples (TCs). The TCs can be located in the heated air stream or buried in the part or both. Using leading, lagging, and averaging functions, along with thermal overdrive, the parts are heated evenly as quickly as possible without overshoot. With thermal overdrive, also known as a controlled heat head, the oven temperature is elevated for a period of time during the heatup portion of the cure cycle. This forces the part to heat more quickly than if the oven was set right at the required cure temperature. After the part temperature approaches the cure temperature, the control system automatically reduces the oven temperature to the part cure temperature. Thermal overdrive provides faster heating rates, resulting in shorter oven cycles and increased production through the equipment. (Figure 5)
In addition to thermal overdrive, the advanced control system uses the TCs buried in the part to provide a guaranteed soak, where the soak time doesn’t start until all the TCs are up to the required cure temperature, ensuring the entire part has been thoroughly cured.
Another feature important to aerospace manufacturers is that, prior to heating, the system checks the vacuum at each port for leaks. Any leaking ports will be displayed, and the operator must then either deselect the bad ports or fix the leaks and run the leak test until successful. This helps ensure no parts are processed under insufficient vacuum, which can cause defects. Monitoring of the vacuum levels continues during the heating cycle, and low- or high-vacuum levels are reported. In the same way, the system can detect a failed control thermocouple and switch control to a backup one to prevent failure of the load.
In order to meet the stringent traceability requirements of the aircraft manufacturers and others, the advanced control system continuously logs data in the background during oven operation and generates a report afterwards. When a batch is completed, the system queries the data for all information matching the batch ID, including recipe information, interval readings for the thermocouples and vacuum transmitters, alarms, and all other batch specific information. A batch report is then created that contains all this information, as well as graphs and tables related to the run and logs it into a database.
Horizontal Quench Systems, Faster Quenching than Ever
Until recently, the vast majority of aluminum solution heat treatment was performed in drop bottom furnaces. This style of furnace is elevated on legs and has a door on the bottom through which the load is quickly lowered into the quench tank below using a hoist located on top. The quench tank rides on a traveling powered car so it can be moved into place beneath the furnace for quenching. (Figure 6)
The primary advantage of drop bottom type furnaces has traditionally been a fast quench speed, defined as the time from when the furnace door starts to open until the load is fully submerged. A quench time of 7 to 10 seconds is typical, and 5 seconds is even possible for smaller loads. The disadvantages are the price of the equipment and the space requirements within the factory. Also, there is a tendency for steam to rise from the tank during quenching and become absorbed into the furnace insulation, which can cause problems.
In recent years, an innovative alternative to the traditional drop bottom system has gained popularity: the horizontal quench system (HQS). In this design, the door is on the front of the furnace, as opposed to the bottom. After the load is heated, the door rapidly opens and a specially designed extractor quickly transfers the load from the furnace chamber onto the quench elevator in front of the furnace. The quench elevator then rapidly lowers the load into the quench tank. (Figure 7)
In the past, the state of horizontal quench technology was such that it was only suitable for pieces with a thicker cross section, typically cast parts, where a longer quench time is allowable. The first-generation horizontal quench systems had a typical quench time of 15 seconds or longer and could not meet the 5 to 10 seconds required for thinner materials in accordance with AMS2770 (Table 1).
Through advances in sensor and motion control technology, along with improvements in material handling techniques, the quench time for horizontal systems has progressively improved over the years. Quench times of 7 seconds are routine even for loads up to 12 feet long, weighing 3,000 pounds. This allows HQSs to meet aerospace heat-treatment requirements, while offering the advantages of lower capital cost and reduced footprint in comparison to drop bottom equipment.
With the increasing demand for aluminum horizontal quench systems, the trend is toward shorter quench times and larger loads, and the horizontal quench system is meeting these needs for the aerospace industry.

What to see in Greece
Tourist attractions Serifos
If you are wondering what to see on Serifos, it's because you know how to search everywhere for the most valuable finds and the most hidden-away gems. Because that's what this little Greek island represents. When you arrive, the beaches, white-walled churches and dreamy landscapes are what await you.
Serifos encompasses no more than 70 km2, but it has plenty to offer despite its limited size. More than you can possibly imagine. To begin with, the first challenge is to choose the best of its 22 beaches and also its most picturesque villages, Chora and Livadi being strong candidates. And all this is without overlooking the spiritual life of the island, with its churches and monasteries.
What to see on Serifos: The best beaches
We will start with the beaches of Serifos, many of which are practically unexplored territory, and some are difficult to get to. The ideal way to reach the best ones is to rent a car. Although if you are a lover of sun and beach tourism, you will know that finding the most special spots requires some effort.
Psili Ammos beach, the most garlanded
Our list of the beaches on Serifos starts with the best known, Psili Ammos. In 2003 it won the award for the best beach in Europe, so its name should be more familiar than the rest. The beach undoubtedly deserves the award, but precisely because of this it tends to have a greater number of visitors. Also, when the north wind picks up, it can be uncomfortable. The sand is very fine however and the water very calm.
Agios Sostis beach
Agios Sostis cannot be reached by car, but there is a car park only 5 minutes' walk from the sand. Stop to look at the views as soon as you leave the car, because they are a spectacular hint of what you will see when you get there.
Again, the sand is fine and soft and there are trees here that will shelter you from the wind. To add the final idyllic touch to this picture-postcard beach, the nearby church of Agio Sostis has a jetty where you can swim. It is built on rock and it's worth doing the short walk to pay a visit.
Only two kilometres from the port of Serifos, Karavi beach is perfect for visiting on foot if you have not rented a car. Despite being so close, there are usually few people, so if you are looking for peace and quiet, you can find it here. The beach has alternating sandy and rocky sections and lacks trees.
Kalo Ampeli beach
This is one of those beaches that's harder to get to. Be patient if you want to sample its waters, because you will need to walk for about 20 minutes. Mind you, when you get to the sand you'll find a bay that will take your breath away. In addition, there is a cave at one end and the place is perfect for snorkeling. Kalo Ampeli beach is the perfect demonstration of every effort bringing its reward.
What to see on Serifos: small churches and monasteries
Remember that this little island harbours great treasures. What is there to see on Serifos if beaches are not your thing? One possibility is to take a small tour of the churches and monasteries that dot the landscape. We've already mentioned Agios Sostis, but it's not alone.
Taxiarchion is a fortified monastery which you'll find in the north of Serifos. It is inhabited by a single monk and its interior has a layout reminiscent of a small Greek village in miniature.
If you like picturesque places, visit the little white cemetery next door. You'll love it
Agios Minas church
Actually, this small white church is on the path to Taxiarchion monastery. It is a blue and white building, typical of the local architecture of the islands, and it embodies all the charm of the islands.
Agia Triada church
In this case, the typical blue and white are also combined with red to give a surprising departure from the general run of Greek churches. The church of Agia Triada is only three kilometres from Megalo Livadi and you can reach it by taking a small detour from the road.
What to see in Serifos: towns and villages
Chora is the capital of Serifos, no less, but don't let that fool you. It is one of those picturesque and charming villages that are so typical of the Greek islands. It covers the top of a hill and you'll fall in love with the windmills that welcome travellers.
To enjoy this village, let yourself wander aimlessly through its white streets until you reach the castle at the top. The views will leave you breathless and you may be able to catch a glimpse of one of the most beautiful sunsets in Greece.
At night, come to the main square and you will see that this small village also harbours great nightlife. Ideal for an enticing dinner accompanied by good wine.
Livadi is the name of the port of Serifos. This is the perfect place to set up your base of operations. Here you can rent a car, there are supermarkets, restaurants... Everything you might need during your stay on the island.

Will Smith and Margot Robbie are together again, but this time their clothes are firmly on.
The co-stars stepped out in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for a photo call relating to their film "Focus."
Smith, 45, and Robbie, 23, were all smiles despite rumors that circulated in the past few weeks that the two had been seeing each other.
Smith, who is married to Jada Pinkett Smith, posed with Robbie for racy photos on set, which were obtained by Star Magazine. The shots show Smith and Robbie horsing around in front of the camera, with Robbie exposing a white bra.
"There's absolutely no truth to the ridiculous rumor in Star mag," Robbie tweeted after reports of an affair began circulating. "It's disappointing that goofing around on set could be taken so out of context."
Smith and his wife appeared with children Jayden and Willow to celebrate Smith's oldest son Trey's 21st birthday.

Greek national interest requires that a solution be found over the FYROM name issue, based on the Interim Accord signed between the two countries in 1995, former Prime Minister Costas Simitis said on Tuesday.
In a statement, Simitis said: “Greece’s prosperity depends on its good communication with its Balkan neighbours; this is what history shows. Therefore, for the sake of national interest it’s obligatory that a solution be found in the outstanding issue weighing on our relationship with FYROM. Current circumstances offer the possibility of success, as long as there is serious and responsible negotiation, based on the Interim Accord. Political will, a sense of responsibility, and informed patriotism must be set against nationalism and populism.”
