I love Anthurium flower. It has a sophisticate character and elegant look about it. This ballroom gown was inspired by this tropical flower. My client at the time was looking for a ballroom gown that has the sassy and elegant look in ebony black and highlight with fire red embroidered motifs and hand embellished with lustre red crystals.
My client was very pleased with her gown and I was super happy with it too.
About Anthurium Flower
“Anthurium Fire Red Tropical Flower is an instrumentally characterized flower, with an atmosphere of sassy attitude and blazing individuality. A leaf-like head beholds the fierce red color, exploding into even more intensity with the circulating veins on bloom, allowing a strike of culminating lights and darks to be shaded over the glossy surface. This is the matter that truly makes this flower look so alive. A single lengthy stem bursts out of the center of the head and extends upwards with a pale lower half, and tipped in a light yellow color. A stunning and easily noticed flower, this anthurium stands alone with poise and esteem, while it also fits into bouquets and centerpieces with Burgundy Black Calla Lilies and Burgundy Red Succulent Flowers for nearly any occasion
Anthuriums are herbaceous epiphytes native to tropical America. Anthurium is a genus of more than 800 species found in the New World tropics from Mexico to northern Argentina and Uruguay. The Anthurium is also known as Painted Tongue, Flamingo Flower (Flamingo Lily) or Tail Flower. Anthuriums are grown for their brightly colored flower spathes and their ornamental leaves.”

There are several things you need to know about the Irish Luck 1939 movie. Here are some of them. The movie stars a variety of people, from Frankie Darro and Grant Withers to Howard Bretherton and Robert Moreland. There are a number of memorable moments in this film. If you love Irish culture and the Irish, you must watch this movie! The story revolves around a murder that takes place at a hotel.
Known for his starring role in the film “Irish Luck,” Grant Withers was an American actor and producer. Born in Pueblo, Colorado, he was a Capricorn. His death occurred on March 27, 1959, in North Hollywood, California. While working on the film “Sinners’ Holiday,” he played the part of Angel Harrigan. His other films include “Other Men’s Wives,” in which he played “Bill White.” Other notable roles include the film “I Mobster,” in which he starred as a mobster. “The Last Stagecoach West” (1935) starred Grant Withers and M. Castle.
This film starred Howard Bretherton and Grant Withers, and was an action adventure. The movie was an instant hit for Monogram, which went on to make seven more features featuring Darro. Withers’ character Mantan Moreland is a successful amateur crime solver, and he manages to avert a murder in the process. The film’s cast of talented amateurs and veteran actors was a perfect combination for the era.
The film also featured Dorothy Lovett, Vince Barnett, Wheeler Oakman, Nat Carr, and Frank Junior Coghlan. In addition to Grant Withers, other notable actors included Conrad Nagel, Audrey Hepburn, and Walter Pidgeon. The director of the film, Karl Brown, directed The Good Doctor. The cast included Jean Hersholt, Dorothy Lovett, and Frank Junior Coghlan.
“Irish Luck” also featured a cast of Irish immigrants from all walks of life. Grant Withers and Lola Lane were both superb as policemen, and the movie also featured the late John Clegg. Other notable actors who made appearances included Frankie Darro, Mantan Moreland, and Richard Cochran. Withers is particularly popular with Irish-American audiences, as he was one of the few Irish-Americans of the era.
In the thriller Irish Luck, a suspicious bellhop tries to help a flustered lawman solve a murder. Dick Purcell plays the flustered lawman. Darro is a good choice as the bellhop. But, how will the two characters ever get along? And what is Darro’s real motivation? Read on to find out. Despite the fact that Darro plays a bellhop in this movie, his performance is anything but bland.
Actors Grant Withers and Frankie Darro are both very talented. The actor had previously starred in John Wayne films and was a star at Universal, which was a great move for a budding star. The film was a huge success and started a seven-picture series centered on comic mysteries. The film’s script was written by Charles Molyneux Brown, who was an author who had a hard time getting his first book published. The film was directed by John Ford, who directed the first film in the series.
Robert Moreland started out in vaudeville, working on numerous revues and shows. He eventually made his way to Broadway and toured Europe. He was also featured in several low-budget “race movies” targeting African-American audiences. His comedic talents soon earned him roles in larger productions. He became one of the most prominent black actors of his day. Among his other notable performances are Irish Luck and Jungle Jim.
This comedy stars more than one actor who is also a great Irish emigrant. The film has a warm tone that alternates between amusing and tiresome. There is also some racial stereotyping, but not as offensive as in many other movies. Still, this movie is not for everyone. This isn’t a must-see if you like Irish movies. Moreland and Miller are great together.
As the town’s sexy mayor, Washington Delaware Jones is the embodiment of Lady Luck. His success has brought him fame in the town, but he’s done little for his community. A judge orders him to leave, but not before he brings his best friend Jefferson, played by F.E. Miller. They look for a new home for him and his new life. They find their fortune in the process.
Another important role played by Moreland in Irish Luck is that of a Chicago cop. Robert Malone is studying Interpol techniques in the Philippines when he has his wallet stolen. As a result, he has a tough relationship with his new partner Kevin McCall. However, the evidence surrounding the stolen wallet brings the two men deeper into an intrigue that involves the police. However, he isn’t the only one who loses money in this movie.
“Irish Luck” is a 1939 action adventure movie directed by Howard Bretherton. It was later remade as “The Adventures of Kitty O’Day”, with Frankie Darro playing a crime-solving bellboy. The story involves an amateur crime-solver who solves a murder case at a hotel. The film is also notable for its performances by Howard Bretherton, Frankie Darro, Mantan Moreland, and Grant Withers.

Pink Himalayan salt is also known as Rock Salt and is actually a type of mineral salt that is mined in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains in Pakistan and India. It is highly processed and chemically treated to make it look pink in color. Many people even claim that it contains remarkable health benefits and is loaded with several minerals. These benefits include sodium, iron, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, zinc, iodine, manganese, and selenium.
The use of this pink Himalayan salt comes from the belief that it can help improve the immune system. It contains trace minerals that are necessary for the human body. These minerals help improve the functioning of the organs like the kidney and liver. They also help increase the amount of oxygen carried in the blood as well as transport substances in and out of cells. It has been used for centuries in the Indian and the Asian countries as a cure for various illnesses and also as a natural food supplement for humans as well.
Some of the minerals found in this salt are calcium, phosphorous, potassium, manganese, sodium chloride, magnesium, zinc, iron, and selenium. These minerals are important for maintaining the pH levels of our blood, which is one of the important factors that affects many other body functions like blood pressure, muscle tension, and the immune system. Most of the salt you find today contains sodium chloride. Sodium chloride is often added to the pink Himalayan salt in order to make it look pink and to make it more marketable.
It is interesting to note that Himalayan salts were used by ancient people as an effective treatment for different illnesses. One of its most prominent benefits is its ability to help the human body in producing the much-needed trace minerals like calcium, phosphorous, potassium, magnesium, and copper. Trace minerals are very important for the proper functioning of all the body’s systems. This is because trace minerals found in nature serve as the building blocks of our bodies. In small quantities, they can help us remain healthy.
Pink Himalayan salt has become popular worldwide among people who are concerned about their health. However, it must be noted that not all kinds of salt contain the trace minerals mentioned above. Although Himalayan pink salt may contain trace minerals such as sodium and potassium, it is still advisable to purchase sea salt instead. Sea salt is natural and does not undergo any processing. It is also known to have a greater concentration of these trace minerals compared to the pink salt.
Another interesting aspect about the mineral content of this popular salt includes the fact that it contains sodium chloride, which is also known as sodium chloride. Although sodium chloride has many advantages, it is known to be very abrasive and can cause severe reactions in people with sensitive skin. Although the number of its negative effects is relatively lower than those of other mineral ions, it is still best to practice precaution when handling this kind of mineral. In order to minimize the effects of this mineral, you should always wear gloves and a face mask while using products containing this salt.

(MENAFN- Gulf Times)
Under the patronage of HE the Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdulaziz al-Thani, the 14th Doha Interfaith Dialogue Conference will kick off in Doha on Tuesday, under the title 'Religions and Hate Speech Practice and Scriptures', with the participation of about 300 scholars, religious leaders, researchers, academics, media professionals and interested persons from 70 countries around the world, besides Qatar. The conference is organised by the Doha International Centre for Interfaith Dialogue (DICID), and it will revolve around three related areas: Hate Speech (causes, drivers and risks), Types and Forms of Hate Speech, and Desired Actions for Combating Hate Speech.
The conference aims to analyse the link between the rise of international terrorism, religious radicalism, and the way some actors and narratives make use of this elements to promote hate speech, racism, xenophobia and Islamophobia.
In a statement on this occasion, HE the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the DICID, Dr Ibrahim bin Saleh al-Nuaimi, said that the Doha conferences represent a consultative intellectual forum between thinkers and representatives of the monotheistic religions, in addition to a selected group of religious scholars, academics and heads of interfaith dialogue centers from around the world.
On the topic of this year's conference, he explained that hate speech involves a violation and derogation of human rights, and it is one of the most urgent religious and humanitarian issues at present, which must be emphasised and maintained.
This conference aims to address the issue of hate speech and its dimensions and the positions of religions against it, and calls for love, tolerance and sympathy, with wide participation, and in the presence of personalities from countries affected by hate speech around the world, he added.
Dr al-Nuaimi stressed that the Doha conference will focus on the common denominators, and call for a common word among the monotheistic religions, to find a ground for coexistence for the benefit of humanity in general, away from discussing the ideological issues of each religion.
He also announced that during the conference, the Fourth Doha International Prize for Interfaith Dialogue will be awarded. Its title this year - 'Outstanding Contributions in Spreading the Culture of Moderate Discourse' - is consistent with the conference's objectives.
He stressed that the award winners were selected based on their achievements in spreading the culture of moderation discourse, bringing peoples together and followers of different religions, and refuting hate speech, incitement, discrimination, racism, extremism and terrorism.
The award is supervised by a specialised committee of trustees consisting of members representing the three monotheistic religions, in addition to officials from the centre.
The Doha International Award for Interfaith Dialogue was launched in 2013, and it is a unique initiative of its kind in this field worldwide.
Dr al-Nuaimi pointed out that the Doha International Center for Interfaith Dialogue, organiser of the conference and supervisor of the award, has become a source of pride for every Qatari citizen, Arab and Muslim anywhere, as it is the leading institution in Qatar concerned with interfaith and intercultural dialogue and capacity building in the field of dialogue and a culture of peace.
In a related context, he referred to the various initiatives of Qatar in the field of dialogue and communication between followers of these religions, civilizations and cultures, which earned it a prominent global position and made it one of the world's most influential countries in such issues.
He stressed that one of the conferences objectives is to convey to the interlocutors the point of view of the Qatari citizen and the Muslim regarding the issues raised clearly without any compromise on principles or what we believe in, in addition to clarifying the principles of Islam in its call for tolerance, love and coexistence and the rejection of hatred and aggression against non-aggressors.
HE al-Nuaimi also touched on what the monotheistic religions have in common, stressing that all religious texts within the heavenly books call for fighting hatred and spreading love and tolerance, but some practices on the ground show the opposite, where hatred is practised in the name of religion, and religions have become a vehicle for fighting religions and hate speech was the primary method for that.

Espresso mascarpone recipes are a delightful and indulgent treat for coffee lovers and dessert enthusiasts alike. These recipes feature the bold and rich flavor of espresso combined with the creamy and luxurious taste of mascarpone cheese, resulting in a delectable combination of sweet and bitter flavors.
Espresso, which is a concentrated form of coffee, brings a unique depth of flavor to the mascarpone cheese. This combination can be used in a variety of desserts, such as tiramisu, cheesecake, or even as a spread for toast or crackers. It can also be used as a filling for cakes or as a topping for ice cream.
The versatility of espresso mascarpone recipes is one of its many appealing features. With just a few simple ingredients, anyone can create a delicious and impressive dessert that will be sure to please any palate. Moreover, these recipes are perfect for both casual gatherings and special occasions, as they are easy to prepare and always a crowd-pleaser.
Whether you are a seasoned chef or a beginner in the kitchen, espresso mascarpone recipes are a fun and flavorful way to experiment with new ingredients and techniques. So, if you are a coffee lover or a dessert enthusiast, try out some of these delicious recipes and experience the rich and complex flavors of espresso mascarpone for yourself.
The Importance of Choosing the Right Espresso Blend for Your Mascarpone Recipes
When it comes to creating the perfect espresso mascarpone recipe, choosing the right blend of espresso is crucial. A bold and robust espresso blend will complement the creamy and indulgent taste of mascarpone cheese, resulting in a harmonious and satisfying dessert. It’s essential to select an espresso blend that is strong enough to hold up against the sweetness of the recipe while not overpowering the delicate flavor of the mascarpone cheese. Experiment with different blends and roasts until you find the perfect combination for your taste preferences.
Espresso mascarpone recipes
- 1 mixer
- 1 Large mixing bowl
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup brewed espresso
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Add in the brewed espresso and continue to whisk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated.
- Chill the mixture for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Additional Notes/Tips: For an extra boost of flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cocoa powder to the mixture.
The Art of Whipping Mascarpone for a Lighter and Fluffier Texture
Whipping mascarpone cheese is a crucial step in creating a light and fluffy texture in your espresso mascarpone recipe. Whipping introduces air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter and fluffier texture that is perfect for spreading or layering. To achieve the desired texture, it’s essential to start with room temperature mascarpone and to use a mixer on a low speed. Be sure not to overwhip, as this can result in a grainy or clumpy texture. With a little practice and patience, you’ll be able to master the art of whipping mascarpone, resulting in a delicious and indulgent espresso mascarpone dessert.
Espresso mascarpone is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of desserts, such as tiramisu, cheesecake, and cream puffs. It can also be used as a spread for toast or crackers.
While instant espresso can be used in a pinch, it’s best to use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor and quality.
This recipe will last for up to 3 days in the fridge when stored in an airtight container.
While cream cheese can be used as a substitute for mascarpone cheese, it will result in a different flavor and texture. Mascarpone cheese has a milder and creamier taste, while cream cheese is tangier and denser.
Heavy cream is a key ingredient in this recipe and helps to create a light and fluffy texture. While it may be possible to substitute it with other ingredients such as whipped coconut cream, the result may be slightly different.

Dear visitors to Japan!
This brochure will give you the minimum knowledge you should have about the criminal procedure in Japan when visiting.
1. Risks when being arrested
Once arrested by the police in Japan, and provided that the prosecutor requests to extend your detention within 72 hours of your arrest and that the judge allows this request, you can be detained initially for 10 days, with the high possibility that your detention will be extended for another 10 days, for a maximum total of 23 days in detention. So, you have to be aware that you may be kept in detention for a little over three weeks once you are arrested.
Furthermore, in Japan, it is very common that detainees are kept in a police cell even after the judge’s decision to detain you, a practice which is quite uncommon in the rest of the world. This system, called the "substitute prison", is internationally criticised and was subject to an examination in the process of the Universal Periodic Review by the United Nations Human Rights Council in June of this year. Through the "substitute prison", the police are able to exercise total control over you 24 hours a day and they will usually perform interrogations from morning until night, occasionally ignoring sleeping hours (which start at 9 p.m.).
In addition, during a possible 23 days of detention, you may be denied contact with everyone besides your lawyer. ("prohibition of contact")
In Japan, you have no right to a phone call. If you have a moblie phone, it will be confiscated during your detention.
2. What to do if you are arrested
Once you are arrested, you will be brought to a police station, where a personal search and a search of your personal belongings will be carried out before you are put into a cell. The police will take away your jewelry, ties and belts etc. during your detention.
If you are arrested, ask the police immediately to call the duty lawyer ("tôban bengoshi"). The local bar association will send you a lawyer with an interpretor on the same day or on the next day at the latest. The first consultation by the duty lawyer is for free. If you meet the lawyer, ask him to contact people you know and who belong to activist groups in Japan.
If you decide to appoint a lawyer for criminal procedures following your arrest, in certain cases, you can make use of the legal aid service in Japan, so that you do not have to pay the costs for appointing a lawyer on your own. For more information about the legal fees, please ask the duty lawyer who will come to the first visit.
Contact list of the duty lawyers:
Dear visitors to Japan!


(Reuters) – Twitter, the popular microblogging site, apologized on Tuesday for incorrectly verifying a false account for Wendi Deng, the wife of News Corp Chief Executive Rupert Murdoch.
The fake account with the handle @Wendi_Deng popped up on Sunday soon after a real Twitter account was started by the media mogul on New Year’s eve. News Corp communications staff confirmed that the Murdoch account was genuine. Like Murdoch’s own Twitter account, the Wendi account was initially verified by Twitter, featuring the well-known blue tick which shows Twitter has confirmed the account belongs to the named person.
But by early Tuesday New York time, Twitter was forced to remove its famous blue tick from the Wendi account after it said it confirmed the account did not belong to her.
“We can confirm that the @wendi_deng account was mistakenly verified for a short period of time and apologize for the confusion this caused,” Twitter said in a statement.
Twitter spokesman Matt Graves declined to comment on the matter beyond the earlier statement to explain how the error was made.

The Pluto Return – Upheaval in Employment (Work from Home)
February 19, 2022
Pluto in Capricorn began in January of 2008 and will last until November 2024. The last time Pluto was in Capricorn was from 1762 to 1778. It is easy to identify these years as the time of the American Revolution and the birth of the nation. This upheaval, that led to the creation of the United States, is completing its first full cycle in 2022, when Pluto returns to the exact degree it was in, on July 4, 1776.
America is experiencing another significant period of upheaval that has many stories describing this time as a battle for the soul of the nation. There are numerous markers that show Pluto’s impact on American society; this article will focus on one that is reaching a tipping point, the end of the traditional employment paradigm, namely getting up and going into the office for work.
Each point in the sky rules a specific sign; when that point is in that sign, its energy is strongest, and its effects last the longest. When the point is in a different sign than its rulership, especially a sign that is also very different in terms of element and expression, the impacts take on the areas of life ruled by that sign. Pluto is something of a special case since it rules death, transformation, and regeneration. Its impact through any sign is always intense in the way it does its work according to the areas of life ruled by that sign.
Next after this publicity
Pluto brings upheaval, fundamental change, and destruction for reconstruction. Capricorn rules industry, large institutions, and achievements. So, you can imagine that this transit is likely to impact public and professional life (Capricorn) in “death and rebirth” ways (Pluto) while it does its work between 2008 and 2024. Children born during this period will be born during a time of revolution that will determine the course of the nation for the next 247 years. A Pluto return is the most significant transit a nation can face because it is the rarest and most long-lasting.
When Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008, the United States and the world were in the throes of the Great Recession, which began in late 2007 with the collapse of the housing market and the subprime mortgage crisis in the US. Between 2007 and 2009 global gross domestic production (GDP) declined by 5.1%. Numerous bank failures engulfed the news and sent the world economy into a tailspin.
Parallel to the banking crisis was another dramatic shift, the falling power of real wages, and erosion of the middle class, one of the stalwarts of American society that proved to make it the number one place to immigrate to in the world for most of the 20th century. While American paychecks have gotten larger, their buying power has stayed the same or declined.
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
This chart succinctly shows the declining middle class in the US.
These numbers come from 2015, and the trend has only worsened. With a ballooning budget deficit, which leads to more and more money printing, which depresses the real value of dollars in the market, what could be bought in 1960 with $10,000 takes on absurd comparisons with what could be bought in 2021. The median home value in 1960 was $11,900; today the median home value is $180,000. The median salary in 1960 was $5,600; today the median salary is $51,480. In simple terms, the buying power has declined by 33%.
Next after this publicity
Add in the pandemic, which accelerated an already evolving trend, working remotely, and we now have a seismic (Plutonic) shift in how people perform their work and want to work. Like so many Plutonic shifts, there is no going back to the way things were before.
It is interesting to study astrology over the course of human history and see how the patterns cycle through, especially when seen through the lens of the outer planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. In the case of Uranus, the cycle happens every 84 years for an 8-year span. In the case of Neptune, the cycle happens every 165 years for about a 14-year span. And Pluto returns to a sign every 247 years for anywhere from 17 to 31 years.
Therefore, it is not surprising that, as an aspect of American history, the period between 1762 and 1778, and the years soon after, when Pluto entered Aquarius, would be one of astounding upheaval in the shape of the country’s development. A new country would emerge that would eventually become the world’s first superpower, solidified as much by establishing new rules for work that would empower workers as a key to success. For the last twenty years, workers have been disempowered in significant ways.
“The Great Resignation” is a “Work from Home Revolution”
As the end of stimulus money has not led to a return to the previous employment levels, as expected, the root of the working crisis is finally being exposed. With new technologies and new opportunities, it is becoming painfully apparent how much work is “wasting time” to meet the demands of 40 hours of work each week.
The phrase, the Great Resignation, was coined by organizational psychologist Anthony Klotz of Texas A & M University. He claims that the pandemic has made workers reevaluate what they want to get out of their jobs. But more importantly, in a Plutonic fashion, the pandemic forced businesses to shut down and then restructure. Part of the restructuring involved letting people work from home, and many found they could do so with greater efficiency and greater savings. regarding expenses (driving to and from work, eating out during work hours, maintaining a wardrobe, and so on).
The lingering persistence of the pandemic and the threat COVID still poses to the health of people working with the public has kept the return to 2019 working scenarios from “snapping back into place”. And the longer the disruption persists, the more a new normal develops, which will likely include more and more work from home approaches to offering services, and even delivering goods.
Remember that Uber (2009) and Lyft (2012) both started under Pluto in Capricorn and offered people work opportunities that led to the creation of the “gig economy”. Independence from the traditional workweek and office location has been broken open by the pandemic and will take shape into a new normal that is already affecting the housing market, commercial rental/construction, and the buying habits of a large number of citizens. Work from home is also bringing the city to the suburbs and reshaping the landscape between rural areas and large cities.
Small towns near large cities that were part of a commuting network are now becoming important hubs of activity in their own right. The already flagging home building industry (declining supply since 2009) is now under even more pressure to get new homes to market to accommodate the shifting trend away from city living to suburban options that include more space in the home, and with backyards. Even rural areas are getting the attention of developers who want to purchase cheap land to build small urban zones for remote workers. Countries are getting in on the action, attempting to draw people to different areas of the world with low living costs and high-speed internet access.
Work as we knew it for those of us working full time in 2019 will remain forever changed. And the next generation of workers, hitting the market between 2022 and 2024, while Pluto settles into its return in the US chart, will see work in an entirely new and “revolutionary” way when compared with work-life pre-COVID.

If you are a part of the trucking industry, you are probably familiar with the new rules in place regarding electronic logging devices and the new mandate going into effect at the end of 2017. All drivers who are required to keep a record or log of their duties or activities while they are operating a truck are required to switch over to an electronic logging system by December. This electronic system tracks a variety of things, such as when the truck is in motion, when the driver is on duty and hours of operation.
While there are several different types of systems available to meet this e-log requirement for trucking fleets, the system must meet certain requirements and specifications to satisfy the mandate. Although any major change can come with certain kinks, this mandate offers a great opportunity for trucking companies and can be a beneficial transition:
- Convenience: Electronic logging offers an advantage over traditional paper or physical logs when it comes to convenience. Paper logs require extensive attention to detail and can be complicated for drivers to fill out. This constant need for written tracking can put a significant burden on a driver, and since the information is all manually tracked, it can easily result in inconsistencies or errors that are unavoidable. Electronic tracking is done automatically by connecting with the engine of the vehicle so the information that is input is more accurate and reliable. Additionally, electronic logs cannot be lost in the same way that paper logs can be misplaced. This offers additional security for the information that
is being tracked.
- Compliance with regulations: Having a digital log makes it easier for drivers to see exactly how much they have been driving and when they will need to take a break in order to be compliant with regulations. Hours of service violations are very common in the trucking industry, and electronic logs can help reduce their occurrence.
- Increased worker safety and compliance: One of the biggest benefits of fleet GPS tracking is the increased safety of drivers. While paper logs can have some inconsistencies or errors, electronic logs keep drivers accountable by offering a precise record of hours and notifying drivers when they need to take a break in order to remain compliant. This increase in compliance means that your drivers are less likely to overwork, which can lead to drowsy driving and unsafe conditions.
- Easy inspections: Another great benefit of fleet GPS tracking is that they make inspections much easier. The information is accurate and easy to access, which means that officers can inspect information and send drivers on their way quickly and efficiently.
Ensure that your trucking fleet is in compliance with the e-log mandate and begin reaping all the benefits of electronic tracking with high quality tracking systems from GPS Technologies. We can outfit your fleet with the best technology available to help make the transition from paper
logs to electronic tracking an easy one. For more information about our tracking equipment and services, simply contact us and get started with the best in GPS systems for your trucking fleet.

Ranging much of the Indo-European and Proto-Indo-European world of approximately 4,000-25,000 years ago, one senses echoes of an image now almost entirely evaporated into the time before humanity’s earliest memories or histories. Though not at all clear today, with some trepidation and humility, one may venture to describe this widespread image as maternal. Were one to preserve only two works from the era in question, they might be the “Venus” of Willendorf of Paleolithic Europe and the Upanishads of ancient India. Both the Venus and the Upanishads may not only stand as crystallizations of humanity’s deep past, in the form of sculpture and literature, but as indications of the mental landscape common to all human beings.
Thanks to some recommended reading from one of my sisters, I’ve come to read Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game in an entirely different light. In “Creating the Innocent Killer:Ender’s Game, Intention, and Morality,” John Kessel offers a fascinating reading of the moral ambivalence, and even potential immortality, of Card’s novel.
In Andrew “Ender” Wiggin, Kessel sees the construction of an ostensibly “innocent killer” merely; in other words, that Ender, though guilty of tremendous atrocities by the novel’s end, is written off as simply a product of his circumstances and thus justified rather than morally culpable. … After his own damning character analysis of Ender, Kessel concludes, “If I felt that Card’s fiction truly understood this, then I would not have written this essay.” …
That said, and I’m tempted to say that Radford and Kessel may likely agree, I am not yet prepared to toss all copies of Ender’s Game — and Card with them — onto the pyre, cultural or otherwise. Instead, rather than a zero-sum condemnation of Ender’s Game, I believe Radford and Kessel’s critiques offer readers an additional layer to Card’s novel — though not at all necessarily one Card himself may have noticed or even intended.

HeLa cells were incubated with BrdU for 30 minutes and fixed with formaldehyde. BrdU was revealed using 40 mM HCl and exonuclease III. The control cells were not labelled with BrdU and were not treated with HCl and exonuclease III.(TIF) pone.0175880.s003.tif (115K) GUID:?F92C0D5A-BECF-4870-BB71-7D4A9BF8E3D9 Data Availability StatementAll relevant data are within the paper and its Supporting Information files. Abstract The approach for the detection of replicational activity in cells using 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine, a low concentration of hydrochloric acid and exonuclease III is presented in the study. The described method was optimised with the aim to provide a fast and robust tool for the detection of DNA synthesis with minimal impact on the cellular structures using image and flow cytometry. The approach is based on the introduction of breaks into the DNA by the low concentration of hydrochloric acid followed by the subsequent enzymatic extension of these breaks using exonuclease III. Our data showed that the method has only a minimal effect on the tested protein localisations and is Paritaprevir (ABT-450) applicable both for formaldehyde- and ethanol-fixed cells. The approach partially also preserves the fluorescence of the fluorescent proteins in the HeLa cells expressing Fluorescent Ubiquitin Cell Cycle Indicator. In the case of the short labelling pulses that disabled the use of 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine because of the low specific signal, the described method provided a bright signal enabling reliable recognition of replicating cells. The optimized protocol was also successfully tested for the detection of Rabbit Polyclonal to GPR146 trifluridine, the nucleoside used as an antiviral drug and in combination with tipiracil also for the treatment of some types of cancer. Introduction Several methods were gradually developed for the detection of DNA synthesis in cell nuclei. Presently, the approach based on the use of 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine (EdU) and its subsequent detection by click reaction increasingly dominates [1C4]. The second widely used method is the detection of DNA replication using 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) or eventually other thymidine analoguesiodo-2-deoxyuridine (IdU) or 5-chloro-2-deoxyuridine (CldU)by means of specific antibodies [5C10]. Additional methods, like the use of biotinylated nucleotides, require specific steps for their introduction. Moreover, it is not possible to control the time of their incorporation [11, 12]. The method based on the photolysis of BrdU-labelled DNA and the detection of induced breaks is another choice for the detection of DNA synthesis . Although all these methods are not widely used, they can be superior to the methods based on EdU or halogen derivatives e.g. if the simultaneous detection of sensitive cellular components is required. Both these mostly used systems have advantages and disadvantages. In the case of EdU, the most important problems are connected with its high cytotoxicity [14C16]. Therefore, EdU is not convenient for long-term studies. In addition, the click reaction Paritaprevir (ABT-450) by means of copper ions results in the formation of oxygen radicals, which cause at least the damage of DNA and RNA  and can impair the fluorescence of fluorescent proteins such as GFP as well . Although the Paritaprevir (ABT-450) production of oxygen radicals can be minimized by the use of some additives , their presence can result in the lowering of the EdU signal (non-published data) and increases the costs of such an approach. On the other hand, it does not solve the relatively high EdU toxicity leading to.

WOODWORKING IN ESTONIA is a cult classic woodworking book, and it’s available now!
Download an excerpt from this book here.
This is the first authorized translation of this classic 1960s text about hand-tool woodworking in this fascinating Northern European country.
From Lost Art Press. Watch this video: HOW A LOST ART PRESS BOOK IS MADE
Manufactured to an amazingly high standard, with sewn signatures and cloth-wrapped hardcovers.
Roy Underhill named it one of his three favorite woodworking books.
But what’s the book about? And why should anyone in the UK care about this ethnographic study?
It’s a fascinating look at hand-tool woodworking during the last 2,000 years.
The tools are similar to what we know, but different in places.
It’s not a “green woodworking” book as such. Yes, there are times that they use green wood, but there are times they dry it in a variety of ways, steam it, bury it in dung, whatever it takes to get the job done.
They take advantage of natural shapes of branches to make tools and furniture components.
It is, probably, a more balanced view of what woodworking was really like during the last 300 years. The wood isn’t all perfectly seasoned for years, and it’s not all fresh from the tree. It is, instead, all of those things and more.
Also fascinating are the objects made in Estonian workshops: spoons, beer tankards, bent-wood boxes, sifters, rakes, tables, chairs, chests and all manner of household implements.
This book is the first authorized translation, done with the full cooperation the original author, Ants Viires (until his death in 2015) and his family, which will receive royalties from sales of the book.

I'm one of like 8 people that live in cairns :D (sadly yes I read past entries).
Sick of only having peeps from fandoms on my Flist, I decided I would search out some locals.
Cause when you have access to the enitre world via the internet its always good to find people in the same area.
I'm anti-social at the best of times and random all the time, I like the fact that people don't know me (I hang out on local chats >:P ) So sadly I don't share pics or personal information, I'm not paranoid.
If anyone actually cares feel free to friend me, just let me know and I'll return the favour. But since most of my Flist is from a fandom most of my posts will seem weird. o O not gacy weird, just japanese game show weird.

words by Jayda Jasmine
What is a boy band? The specific requirements are still widely debated, for example, are you a boy band if you play instruments? Should they have choreography? Do they have to make pop music?
Although there are conflicting ideas of what exactly a boyband entails and when they began, the term ‘boy band’ itself was popularized in the 80s. However, the structure of boy bands can be traced back to the 60s. For our purposes, we’ll be using the Beatles as a jumping-off point.
We’ll walk through a few of history’s biggest boy bands in the past decades, from the 60s to the present, and their impact on the modern genre that we know today.
The Unclear Beginning of Boy Bands (1960s)
The Beatles are either the quintessential boy band or the furthest thing from a boy band depending on who you talk to. Some say that they are not a ‘boy band’ due to the fact that they play their own instruments and write their own music. However, the nature of their fanbase of young girls, and the content of their songs, arguably place them in boy band territory. Another boy band, The Monkees, formed in 1966 and had a similar style to the Beatles. In fact, they even started off with a sitcom playing a band who wanted to be as big as the Beatles (Big Time Rush anyone?). These groups, but mostly the Beatles, solidified the presence of boy bands in pop culture.
The “Family Band” era of Boy Bands (1970s):
Jackson 5 while the Jackson 5 broke barriers in all avenues of music, we’ll be focusing on their contribution to the boy band ‘genre’. First, they broke out of the rock mold of the 60s and implemented their own R&B/Soul sound. They were also one of the first groups to incorporate choreography in their sets, and they’re regarded as the first non-white boy band. Similar to the Monkees, they leaned into television and to off their individual personalities. The Osmond Brothers also followed the “family band” mold and put out R&B-inspired pop songs in the 70s. Similar to the Jackson 5, their selling points were their “polished performing style, instrumental skill, and vocal talent”. Although not a full family band, Menudo, a Puerto Rican boy band that became popular in the 80s, was made up of a couple sets of brothers and cousins. It is important to mention Menudo because they’re the first popular non-white, non-English speaking boy band. By the way, if you know Ricky Martin, then you’re already aware of one member! “Family bands” in the 70s would eventually see a resurgence with groups like the Jonas Brothers in the early 2000s.
The Beginning of “Pop” Boy Bands (80s-90s):
Maurice Starr is responsible for both New Edition and New Kids on the Block. If you weren’t aware, there has been a friendly competition between the two groups due to their business relationships with Starr. After Starr separated from New Edition over financial disagreements he set out to create a boy band of “white boys who could rap, sing, and dance”. Thus, New Kids on the Block was formed. Both groups incorporated choreography, harmonies, and New Kids on the Block especially putting an emphasis on audience and fan engagement. New Kids on the Block reached pop charts while New Edition largely remained in the R&B genre. This is likely due to the racialized nature of the music industry; white performers are categorized as pop by default and black artists often must ‘cross over’ from other genres. These standards are unfortunately very clear when examining the boy band genre. The case study of New Edition, and New Kids on the Block, where New Kids on the Block was essentially a white copy of New Edition, is comparable to Boyz II Men and *NSYNC in the 90s and early 2000s.
“Golden Era” of Boy Bands (Late 90s-Early 2000s):
These groups essentially took everything that their predecessors did and built upon it to make it a cultural phenomenon. This is when boy bands became solidified as boy bands. There were faces of the members on sheets, mugs, and posters, as well as pop culture references to the groups and their dedicated (often painted as borderline hysterical) fans. *NSYNC in particular was a proof of concept for boy bands as their early albums “established their appeal to a large, youthful fan base with plenty of disposable income”. The fact that they coexisted with so many other groups in the market such as The Backstreet Boys, Boys II Men, O-Town, Dream Street, LFO, Savage Garden, 98 Degrees, and more proved the sustainability of the boy band model. The most recognizable groups of this era were The Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, and Boys II Men. The first two of these groups were created by Louis J. Pearlman who also worked to create New Kids on the Block. It is important to again point out the racialized lines in the music industry. *NSYNC found global popularity and success while their “group harmonization owes much to the virtuosic style established by the popular African-American boy group Boyz II Men”. This is another example of “pop”, meaning popular music, being dedicated to building a platform for white performers. The show “This Is Pop” on Netflix elaborates on this ‘Boys II Men effect’ in the industry, you can watch the episode here.
The Comeback of Boy Bands (Mid 2000s – 2015)
While the Jonas Brothers opened the door to this era with their signature Disney sound and hit anthems such as “Year 3000” the creation of One Direction in 2010 solidified the return of boy bands. While One Direction had many hits, one of the most noticeable impacts they’ve made has been in fandom culture. Directioners dominated stan Twitter, a ‘side’ of Twitter that is purely dedicated to talking about one’s favorite artists usually reserved for the most engaged fans. The amount of widespread support that the band received online and the communities that popped up on platforms dedicated to the band very clearly laid the foundation for modern fandoms. This is a noticeable shift from previous eras of boy bands where physical products dominated fan circles. While 1D merch was important and is still relevant, things like fanart, fan fiction, edits, and exclusive concert videos became just as important.
During this era other bands such as Big Time Rush, The Wanted, and 5 Seconds of Summer also entered mainstream music. 5 Seconds of Summer drew in some controversy when Irwin stated, “We’re not a boy band—we’re a band, we don’t want to be called the next One Direction. That’s not us”. The evidence for this argument was the fact that they had a ‘rockier’ sound, played their own instruments, and wrote their own songs. However, The Beatles, the Jackson 5, and the Jonas Brothers also played their own instruments. The Beatles definitely wrote their own songs as well. Each of these bands also focused on their own genre: rock, R&B/Soul, and pop respectively. This is an example of when the term becomes conflictive.
Modern Boy Bands & Perfecting the Boy Band Model (2017 – Present):
Although BTS has existed since 2013, their first western ‘realization’ took place in 2017 when they began overseas promotion on popular American platforms like Jimmy Kimmel, radio events, and award ceremonies. BTS is perhaps the quintessential modern boy band due to their extreme popularity, dedicated fanbase called ARMY, and innovative creations. Rather than exclusively focusing on ‘fluffy’ topics such as young love, they also shine a light on things such as unjust societal systems, mental health, and issues that the youth face today. They also have a complex storyline that takes place in Webtoons and MVs. The various ways for fans to become involved in their community have ultimately led to a tight-knit, and fiercely loyal fanbase. Fan engagement is definitely a strong suit, a factor that has kept them in the limelight (others being their altruistic nature, humility, and talent). Their widespread online support is comparable to One Direction’s. The same online communities and fan-made creations that circulate the internet are still very relevant and important. The group has taken these fandom staples a step further and introduced online concerts, fan meets, vlogs, and their own variety show in order to show off their personalities and to better connect with fans (If you haven’t seen Run BTS, it’s hilarious and I highly recommend checking it out!).
Their success is so important and notable because as we discussed, pop music has largely been a lane for white performers. The fact that a non-white, non-English speaking group is finding such great success in the west seems like a big step in the right direction. It is important to note that although they have great popularity their fanbase has pointed out mistreatment, racism, and obvious favor towards more ‘traditional’ American artists. Not to mention the debate of whether they are ‘Kpop’ or ‘pop’ especially when it comes to western award shows. Other Korean boy bands are quickly becoming popular in the states such as Stray Kids, NCT 127, Monsta X, and Ateez. These groups, and BTS, are introducing western audiences to new concepts in music, extreme choreographies and stages, and new experiences for fans to engage in.
There are also active American boy bands such as Why Don’t We which formed in 2016, and has started to gain traction in recent years. They’re an American boyband that was formed in LA and are inspired by boybands such as Boyz II Men, The Beatles, and CNCO. CNCO is also a current Latin American boy band made up of four members. The group is based in Miami and they rose to fame by winning the first season of La Banda, which in turn, earned them a five-year recording contract with Sony Music Latin. These bands resemble the One Direction model that focuses largely on singing and fan engagement.
While boy bands are a modern development in music, they seem like they’re here to stay. As a fan, It’s exciting to see the ways in which fan engagement is improving and the new groups that are surfacing. Keep an eye out, you never know when the next cultural phenomenon is on the way!


There already have been six official Leonard Cohen live albums, dating back to 1973, and a number of bootleg and record company promo releases as well. Despite Cohen’s persona as a somewhat misanthropic individual, his records show that he establishes a warm rapport with his audiences and treats them with respect and deference. This is not a trick created by the music editors and recording engineers to fool the public. As someone who has seen and heard Cohen in person, I can attest to the fact that the man does his best to ingratiate himself with the crowd and freely expresses his gratitude to them just for showing up. Therefore, I can honestly recommend that if he is appearing in your vicinity and you enjoy his fare, go see him. It’s worth the high ticket price.
Leonard Cohen’s Live In Dublin, a three CD/DVD set available in Blu-ray and digital configurations, is the first time a Cohen show was shot in high definition. The package contains a full-length concert from Dublin’s 02 Arena on September 12, 2013. The sound from the stage is pristine, the high-resolution images striking, and the audience engaged and reverential. More importantly, Cohen is in excellent form. The then 78-year-old artist is at the height of his powers a performer. His fellow musicians and background vocalists play and sing flawlessly. The repertoire is excellently arranged and presented.
The Cohen here is not all that different than on the excellent two-CD set Live in London. In fact both live shows feature several of the same songs in similar order. The two opening cuts on both discs and “Dance Me to the End of Love” and “The Future”. Seven of the 11 tracks on Dublin CD are also on the earlier first CD from London. There’s more variety on the other two discs from Ireland, but unfortunately there are still renditions of “Hallelujah” and “Suzanne”, tunes even Cohen has publicly noted should be retired for a while. Alas, these recordings come from a live show and the bulk of the audience would certainly feel disappointed if the songs were not played.
Let’s be straight, Cohen has been a major figure on the rock music scene since the ’60s. His best work over the decades have gone on to become standards, such as the aforementioned “Hallelujah” that has been covered well by everyone from Jeff Buckley and Rufus Wainwright to Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Bono, and K. D. Lang. There really is no reason to quibble. A live recording of the man every five years has more than just archival value. While there are only two recent songs, “Amen” and “Come Healing”, from Cohen’s 2012 album ironically titled Old Ideas, there are several other cuts Cohen has not recorded live before, including Doc Pomus’ pop masterpiece “Save the Last Dance for Me”. Despite the three hour length of the complete box set, the time moves briskly due to the variety of the songs and musical configurations—including live selections from the backup singers, the Webb Sisters and Sharon Robinson. The DVD also contains bonus songs from three April 2013 shows in Canada.
So if you want the Leonard Cohen experience, but cannot afford the $100-plus tab for the ticket, this is the next best thing. Fans and critics commonly cite Cohen’s verbal virtuosity, but as the live shows reveal he is much more than a poet with language. He’s a songwriter, musician, and performer of the highest order and age has only improved him.

A photo exhibition launched this month provides an insight into the lives of those who have fled from torture and persecution in troubled states including Iran, Iraq, Somalia, and Zimbabwe only to be refused asylum in the UK.
According to the National Audit Office there are between 155,000 and 283,500 refused asylum seekers in the UK. The government publishes figures of rejected asylum seekers but no statistical breakdown of what happens to them following their claim being rejected. This underground and invisible population of refused asylum seekers are left destitute, prohibited from working and ineligible for welfare support.
Still Human, Still Here: The underground world of destitute asylum seekers runs until 4 April at Host gallery, east London. Telephone 020 7253 2770.
Madelena ( Image credit Abbie Trayler-Smith/Panos Pictures)
Madelena arrived in the UK from Angola in August 2007 and claimed asylum which was refused. Her father was killed by the Angolan government because of his political activities and she was arrested, detained and badly beaten. While in detention her mother also went missing and Madelena still does not know whether she is alive or dead.
After her asylum claim was refused she was terrified of being forcibly returned to Angola and a friend agreed to let her share a room. Sometime she survives an entire week with no money at all depending on friends, charities and churches to give her food. At the end of last year she had a baby called Grace with her boyfriend Sami, who is also an asylum seeker from Angola.
Forty-nine-year-old Anne sits outside on a London street. She came to the UK from the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2002 and claimed asylum. She had been detained and beaten for condemning the forced recruitment of child soldiers after her son was taken by rebel forces and her husband killed. On the second occasion she was raped by the rebels.
After forming a women’s group to protest against rebel activity she was forced to watch, paralysed with horror, as three of the women in her group were buried alive by the rebels.
Following the rejection of her asylum claim Anne spent the next three years living in total destitution, much of the time sleeping outside. One night she was attacked by a white gang while she was sleeping on a park bench in Sunderland. Two of the gang members raped her. She survived on an average of £3 a week, or £5 on a good week.
She says: “About Africa they say ‘Make Poverty History’ because people there are living on a pound a day. But the government is doing the same thing to asylum seekers here by making them destitute.”
