Tropical Storm Conditions Possible This Weekend
Alerts (as of 1:00 a.m.)
A Tropical Storm Warning is posted for Hawaii County.
A Flash Flood Watch has been issued by the National Weather Service. It goes into effect late Friday night and will be posted through Sunday afternoon. Tropical Storm Darby is expected to continue approaching the Hawaiian Islands. The forecast is still highly dependent on the track and intensity of the system, however, there is a possibility for intense rainfall and flash flooding this weekend. East to southeast facing slopes are at greatest risk.
When rainfall episodes of this intensity occur, flooding could occur even outside of normal flood zones. Keep in mind, flooding on roadways can make driving very dangerous and roads impassable. Two feet of water is enough to sweep your car away. Debris can clog waterways. Never try to cross fast-flowing water on foot.
A High Surf Warning is also posted for the east facing shores of the Big Island from 6 a.m. Friday to 6 a.m. Sunday. Surf is forecast to build to 12 to 20 foot faces Friday with higher sets at the best exposures. Waves this big can cause coastal flooding and lead to dangerous ocean conditions. Powerful currents are also a concern and large breaking waves can impact harbor entrances and channels.

Tropical Storm Darby is approaching the Hawaiian Islands from the east over the next couple of days. The system could bring stormy weather this weekend. As Darby gets closer the peripheral moisture will affect windward areas first. More intense rain and wind is expected to follow as the system progresses.
There is still a lot of uncertainty with the forecast. Just slight changes to track and intensity can mean big differences in the forecast philosophy. We will continue to keep an eye on this and bring you firmer forecasts. For now, the Big Island will see the effects first. We will have to see how it interacts with the land, channeling between our islands, gap winds, etc… Keep in mind effects can be felt far from the center of the system. For example, tropical storm force winds extend more than 100 miles from the center and the cloud field is even bigger than that.
Before Darby passes, typical trade wind weather is forecast with clouds and showers for our usual windward and mauka spots, mainly overnight and into the morning. After Darby passes, winds are forecast to turn southeast with hot, humid conditions expected.
Partly cloudy skies with increasing showers for windward areas. High temperatures from 84° to 89°. Winds will be northeasterly from 10 to 25 mph and increasing.
UV index at 12 (“extreme” exposure level)
Winds will be northeasterly possibly from 35 to 55 mph with higher gusts. Mostly cloudy with tropical storm conditions possible, heavy rain at times and possibly damaging winds. Low temperatures from 73° to 78°.

Described by Spotlight Music UK as a band that “…sure know how to entice the senses with a grown-up, grassroots alt-rock befitting of a superhero blockbuster trailer”, Elephant Memoirs is certainly a formidable trio. Since the release of their debut EP False Sense of Security, the UK-based group has built a reputation for outstanding and unique music.
Featured in blogs like NARC Magazine, Our Sound Music, Roadie Music, Pillar Artists and Crack Magazine, John Aspinall (guitar and vocals), Carl Aspinall (bass and vocals) and Barry Drew (drums) are reaching a global audience. While people are enjoying their music far and wide via the internet, Elephant Memoirs is also an experienced live band playing sold-out shows across the UK. The latest addition to their critically acclaimed discography is ‘Biodegradable’.
Following their successful singles ‘Ordinary Life’ and ‘Fairytale’ (read our review here), ‘Biodegradable’ is a crashing force of unapologetic hard rock. I could compare Elephant Memoirs to Queens of the Stone Age with a tinge of Coldplay, but that wouldn’t be fair to this powerful trio. Instead of sounding like QOTSA, ‘Biodegradable’ proves this threesome is not like QOTSA but on (or above) their level. But I’m running away from myself – let’s check out the track before telling you how awesome the band is.
A hard-hitting, guitar-driven single, ‘Biodegradable’ captivates listeners from the first strum. John Aspinall’s vocals pull you into the intense melody in a rather soothing way considering the unabashedly heavy nature of the arrangement. He carries you along the pounding drums and dynamic guitars allowing you to float in the turbulent river of music. Yet, it is not the soothing tone that makes the song but the lyricism as well.
Capturing the significant topic of empowerment, self-acceptance and awareness of oneself, ‘Biodegradable’ elegantly explores the human spirit in an unapologetic way. Reflective and slightly nostalgic, but with a tinge of “listen up and take note” to the single, ‘Biodegradable’ is profound but has an element of headbanging rockness to it. Overall, it’s just fantastic and Elephant Memoirs are fantastic for bringing us this sonic gem.


Demand for diesel-powered City came down by 30 percent in Q1 2016.
Business Standard reports that demand for the diesel-powered Honda City has taken a hit due to increasing consumer preference for petrol vehicles.
In the first quarter, only 28 percent of the total demand was for the Honda City diesel variant, nearly 30 percent lower than October-December period of 2015. In February alone, the City’s volumes fell below 5,000 units for the first time in many months, allowing the Maruti Ciaz to clinch the top spot.
However, the City managed to return to the top position in March 2016. Honda will adjust the production mix according to the demand of the variant, which could take a minimum of three-four months.

The petrol-powered Honda City packs a 1.5-litre i-VTEC engine that produces 119 PS and 145 Nm of torque. It is offered with a five-speed manual transmission that enables the vehicle to deliver a mileage of 17.8 km/l. Also available is a CVT version that claims a higher fuel economy of 18 km/l.

A challenge to a federal court ruling enjoining over $3 million in federal loan guarantees to a concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) in the Buffalo National River Watershed has been dropped. The US Department of Justice withdrew its challenge to US Eastern District Judge D. Price Marshall's ruling on Friday. The loan-giving agencies - the Small Business Administration and the Farm Service Agency - now have to complete an environmental impact study within one year in order for the loans to C&H Hog Farms be guaranteed.
Dane Schumacher with the Buffalo River Watershed Alliance said it’s a positive step for those opposing the swine farm.
“The agencies that guaranteed the loans should have done a proper environmental assessment. He [U.S. District Judge for the Eastern District D. Price Marshall] ordered them to go back and do an assessment, do the things that should have been done according to the National Environmental Policy Act. We feel like it’s a significant victory in that this environmental assessment can now get under way,” said Schumacher.
The Buffalo River Watershed Alliance wants the one existing operation, C&H Hog Farms, to be relocated or shut down. It argues the waste from the 6,500 capacity operation will pollute the National River.

Buying A Home On Social Security
This publication provides tax information for homeowners. Your home may be a house, condominium, cooperative apartment, mobile home, houseboat, or house trailer that contains sleeping space and toilet and cooking facilities.
buying a home on social security
If you took out a mortgage (loan) to finance the purchase of your home, you probably have to make monthly house payments. Your house payment may include several costs of owning a home. The only costs you can deduct are state and local real estate taxes actually paid to the taxing authority and interest that qualifies as home mortgage interest.These are discussed in more detail later.
If you meet the rules to deduct all of the mortgage interest on your loan and all of the real estate taxes on your main home, then you can use a special method to figure your deduction for mortgage interest and real estate taxes on your main home.
Real estate taxes are generally divided so that you and the seller each pay taxes for the part of the property tax year you owned the home. Your share of these taxes is fully deductible if you itemize your deductions.
You bought your home on September 1. The property tax year (the period to which the tax relates) in your area is the calendar year. The tax for the year was $730 and was due and paid by the seller on August 15.
You owned your new home during the property tax year for 122 days (September 1 to December 31, including your date of purchase). You figure your deduction for real estate taxes on your home as follows.
You can't deduct transfer taxes and similar taxes and charges on the sale of a personal home. If you are the buyer and you pay them, include them in the cost basis of the property. If you are the seller and you pay them, they are expenses of the sale and reduce the amount realized on the sale.
If you own a cooperative apartment, some special rules apply to you, though you generally receive the same tax treatment as other homeowners. As an owner of a cooperative apartment, you own shares of stock in a corporation that owns or leases housing facilities. You can deduct your share of the corporation's deductible real estate taxes if the cooperative housing corporation meets the following conditions.
Generally, you can elect to deduct state and local general sales taxes instead of state and local income taxes as an itemized deduction on Schedule A (Form 1040). You must check the box on Schedule A (Form 1040), line 5a, if you elect this option. Deductible sales taxes may include sales taxes paid on your home (including mobile and prefabricated), or home building materials if the tax rate was the same as the general sales tax rate. For information on figuring your deduction, see the Instructions for Schedule A (Form 1040).
Your deduction for home mortgage interest is subject to a number of limits. If one or more of the following limits apply, see Pub. 936 to figure your deduction. Also see Pub. 936 if you later refinance your mortgage or buy a second home.
You can only deduct home mortgage interest to the extent that the loan proceeds from your home mortgage are used to buy, build, or substantially improve the home securing the loan. The only exception to this limit is for loans taken out on or before October 13, 1987; the loan proceeds for these loans are treated as having been used to buy, build, or substantially improve the home. See Pub. 936 for more information about loans taken out on or before October 13, 1987.
For qualifying debt taken out on or before December 15, 2017, you can only deduct home mortgage interest on up to $1 million ($500,000 if you are married filing separately) of that debt. The only exception is for loans taken out on or before October 13, 1987; see Pub. 936 for more information about loans taken out on or before October 13, 1987.
For qualifying debt taken out after December 15, 2017, you can only deduct home mortgage interest on up to $750,000 ($375,000 if you are married filing separately) of that debt. If you also have qualifying debt subject to the $1 million ($500,000 if you are married filing separately) limitation discussed under Limit on loans taken out on or before December 15, 2017, earlier, the $750,000 limit for debt taken out after December 15, 2017, is reduced by the amount of your qualifying debt subject to the $1 million limit. An exception exists for certain loans taken out after December 15, 2017, but before April 1, 2018. If the exception applies, your loan may be treated in the same manner as a loan taken out on or before December 15, 2017. See Pub. 936 for more information about this exception.
If you receive a refund of home mortgage interest that you deducted in an earlier year and that reduced your tax, you must generally include the refund in income in the year you receive it. For more information, see Recoveries in Pub. 525. The amount of the refund will usually be shown on the mortgage interest statement you receive from your mortgage lender. See Mortgage Interest Statement, later.
To be deductible, the interest you pay must be on a loan secured by your main home or a second home, regardless of how the loan is labeled. The loan can be a first or second mortgage, a home improvement loan, a home equity loan, or a refinanced mortgage.
If you pay interest in advance for a period that goes beyond the end of the tax year, you must spread this interest over the tax years to which it applies. Generally, you can deduct in each year only the interest that qualifies as home mortgage interest for that year. An exception (discussed later) applies to points.
If you pay off your home mortgage early, you may have to pay a penalty. You can deduct that penalty as home mortgage interest, provided the penalty isn't for a specific service performed or cost incurred in connection with your mortgage loan.
In some states (such as Maryland), you may buy your home subject to a ground rent. A ground rent is an obligation you assume to pay a fixed amount per year on the property. Under this arrangement, you are leasing (rather than buying) the land on which your home is located.
You can usually treat the interest on a loan you took out to buy stock in a cooperative housing corporation as home mortgage interest if you own a cooperative apartment, and the cooperative housing corporation meets the conditions described earlier under Special Rules for Cooperatives. In addition, you can treat as home mortgage interest your share of the corporation's deductible mortgage interest. Figure your share of mortgage interest the same way that is shown for figuring your share of real estate taxes in the Example under Division of real estate taxes, earlier. For more information on cooperatives, see Special Rule for Tenant-Stockholders in Cooperative Housing Corporations in Pub. 936.
If you use part of the refinanced mortgage proceeds to substantially improve your main home and you meet the first six tests listed earlier, you can fully deduct the part of the points related to the improvement in the year you paid them with your own funds. You can deduct the rest of the points over the life of the loan.
When you took out a $100,000 mortgage loan to buy your home in December, you were charged one point ($1,000). You meet all the tests for deducting points in the year paid (see Exception, earlier), except the only funds you provided were a $750 down payment. Of the $1,000 you were charged for points, you can deduct $750 in the year paid. You spread the remaining $250 over the life of the mortgage.
The facts are the same as in Example 1, except that the person who sold you your home also paid one point ($1,000) to help you get your mortgage. In the year paid, you can deduct $1,750 ($750 of the amount you were charged plus the $1,000 paid by the seller). You spread the remaining $250 over the life of the mortgage. You must reduce the basis of your home by the $1,000 paid by the seller.
Enter on Schedule A (Form 1040), line 8a, the home mortgage interest and points reported to you on Form 1098 (discussed next). If you didn't receive a Form 1098, enter your deductible interest on line 8b, and any deductible points on line 8c. See Table 1 for a summary of where to deduct home mortgage interest and state and local real estate taxes.
If you paid $600 or more of mortgage interest (including certain points during the year on any one mortgage to a mortgage holder in the course of that holder's trade or business, you should receive a Form 1098 or similar statement from the mortgage holder. The statement will show the total interest paid on your mortgage during the year. If you bought a main home during the year, it will also show the deductible points you paid and any points you can deduct that were paid by the person who sold you your home. See Points, earlier.
You bought a new home on May 3. You paid no points on the purchase. During the year, you made mortgage payments that included $4,480 deductible interest on your new home. The settlement sheet for the purchase of the home included interest of $620 for 29 days in May. The mortgage statement you receive from the lender includes total interest of $5,100 ($4,480 + $620). You can deduct the $5,100 if you itemize your deductions.
If you receive a refund of mortgage interest you overpaid in a prior year, you will generally receive a Form 1098 showing the refund in box 4. Generally, you must include the refund in income in the year you receive it. See Refund of home mortgage interest, earlier, under Home Mortgage Interest.
The total amount you can treat as home acquisition debt at any time on your home cannot be more than $1 million ($500,000 if married filing separately). However, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2026, there is a further limitation. If you purchased your home during this time, the total amount you can treat as home acquisition debt at any time on your home generally cannot be more than $750,000 ($375,000 if married filing separately).
This means your main home or your second home. A home includes a house, condominium, cooperative, mobile home, house trailer, boat, or similar property that has sleeping, cooking, and toilet facilities. 041b061a72

Fluoride is an ion of the element fluorine. It occurs naturally in water, rock, soil, and in living tissue. Fluoride does not occur in its free form, but rather is always bound to another element.
How does fluoride work to prevent cavities?
The answer to that question depends on how the fluoride ion is presented, either systemically or topically.
Systemic fluoride is introduced to the body through sources such as fluoridated water. It has been determined that the optimum concentration of fluoride in drinking water to provide cavity prevention safely is in the range of 0.7 - 1.2 ppm. Most municipalities maintain a concentration within this range, but people relying on natural sources of drinking water should test their water to determine if fluoride supplements should be prescribed. Systemic fluoride begins to exert its effects while teeth are still forming. Bones and teeth have an organic matrix, but they actually gain their strength and hardness from an inorganic, crystalline composition known as hydroxyapatite. Cells responsible for tooth and bone formation utilize available calcium and other minerals to form the hydroxyapatite matrix. When fluoride ions are also available, such as occurs when fluoride is ingested, cells will use them to produce an additional compound called fluorapatite. Fluorapatite becomes integrated in the inorganic matrix, resulting in a more durable and acid-resistant substance. This has been shown to have a beneficial effect in reducing the incidence of dental decay.
Although the benefits of systemic fluoride have been well documented, we are now learning that the topical effects of fluoride ions may even be more important. Topically applied fluoride ions can be applied to the teeth through toothpastes, over-the-counter fluoride rinses, and dentist-applied fluoride varnishes or foams. The topically applied fluoride exerts it's effects in several ways. First, it is known to inhibit the ability of bacteria to produce plaque on the teeth by blocking the function of important bacterial enzymes. Secondly, topically introduced fluoride ions lead to reduced demineralization and increased remineralization of tooth structures. Acids from bacterial toxins act by causing loss of calcium and other minerals from the tooth surface. This is the beginning of the decay process. Fluoride acts to slow the process of demineralization and promote remineralization thereby preventing the onset of the carious lesion. It has been shown that the topical effects of systemic fluoride ions which end up in saliva may actually be more important than the effects during tooth formation.
What we need to learn from this discussion is that, to optimally fight cavities, we need to make sure we are providing our families with a fluoridated drinking water source, as well as supplementing that with the use of an ADA accepted fluoridated toothpaste. As an adjuct, all children under the age of 18 should have a topical fluoride varnish application by the dentist every 6 months. If we apply the beneficial effects of fluoride, along with excellent oral hygiene and regular dental visits, we can win the war against tooth decay.

It’s official. It took six grueling years since the Great Recession ended, but now, the housing recovery enters the second half of 2015 as a fundamentals-driven rebound.
What does it mean now that housing—and its infinite mosaic of geographical fiefdoms down to the submarket and lot-line level—has healed its gravest wounds? What does it mean to developers and builders that buyers and sellers of home properties are people to people, not desperate people to institutions? What does it mean when we say that a housing cycle’s trajectory has moved decisively from a focus on investors’ resources to an exchange of values from owner-occupier to someone who wants to be an owner-occupier of a primary residence?
As we note from RealtyTrac’s latest U.S. Home & Foreclosure Sales Report for May, all of the benchmarks for abnormal residential real estate behavior—cash sales, distressed sales, bank-owned sales, and in-foreclosure sales—dramatically subsided in the past month and, even more dramatically so in the past 12 months.
Here are a few of the highlights of the RealtyTrac May Foreclosure report, noted by Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac.
- 24.6 percent of all single family home and condo sales in May were all-cash purchases, down from 28.5 percent in the previous month and down from 30.4 percent a year ago to the lowest level since November 2009
- The share of distressed sales dropped to a new low of 10.5 percent in May, down from 15.4 percent in April and down from 18.3 percent a year ago
- Bank-owned sales accounted for 3.9 percent of all residential property sales in May, down from 6.9 percent in the previous month and down from 9.0 percent a year ago
Properties that sold while in the foreclosure process — but not yet bank-owned — accounted for 6.6 percent of all residential property sales in May, down from 8.5 percent the previous month and down from 9.2 percent a year ago
The market has spoken. It’s no longer rewarding investor opportunism, short-term gains for cash-flush buyers, nor quick flippers, nor even global “safe-haven” buyers who buoyed the marketplace as deterioration switched to resilience three years ago.
Owner occupiers, primary residence buyers—perhaps chastened into a mindset that home ownership and a financial investment are two different things, appear to be voting with their feet as to the sustaining values they’re willing to put stock in. They’re affirming, by and large, that livability may trump saleability as a priority.
Stay tuned here, for additions to this column, with our thoughts on what it comes down to for you. This, along with another solid June jobs report this morning from the Labor Department means that you will be dealing with people who want to live in, rather than simply to resell, your homes.
You’ll be talking in the coming months to people who do more than want–desire or prefer–a new home in one of your communities. A fair number of the ones who’ll be visiting your models or showing up at your sales center are people who feel as if they need to be talking with you. They’ll be the ones who’ve done the math on what they’ve got now, and what they can pay each month, and what they can save each year that they move their resources into owning vs. renting.
You’ve already been talking with them, and you know they have a radically different mindset from those on the hunt for a quick appreciation and turn caper. For each option and each upgrade an internal “ability to repay” dialog crops up, and people are looking at such features with a realistic gut-check, rather than a wave of the wand, simply adding the item to the monthly payment.

Last Thursday, the best and brightest of the Irish advertising industry descended on the Royal Hospital Kilmainham for the 2012 ICAD awards.
A good night was had by all and we were delighted when our very own John Martin won a Bronze award in the Digital Craft Art Direction category for his work for Permanent TSB. Congrats to everyone involved in the project and to all the other award winners. We’re already looking forward to next year and more of those delicious fish and chips.
Check out the award winning work “Hedge and lawnmower” at the link below.
We were delighted to be recently nominated in a number of categories for the upcoming eircom Spider Awards. One entry we were very proud of was Mediastreet, nominated in the Listings category. We are particularly pleased that it was nominated in its launch year, so a big well done to Cormac, Ciara and the rest of the team in Mediastreet. It is a strong category, with some great entrants.
I recently attended the Cannes Lions 2011, the first time I have attended. Held at the Palais de Festivals (also where the film festival is held), it is the largest gathering of professionals from the advertising and creative industry. Around 8,000 attendees from all around the advertising world descend on the south of France for a mixture of seminars, awards ceremonies and networking events.
Ok. I was very optimistic. I checked out the Cyber Lions shortlist last Tuesday morning. Our Pizza Hut Campaign wasn’t there. Well, I guess that Silver Shark at Kinsale will have to satisfy all the team who worked on it. Read more
A couple of weeks ago, filled with hope and a bit of expectancy, a few of us went to the ICAD awards night. This year’s it was held at the Royal Hospital Killmainham. As a prelude to the night, ICAD had invited Dave Trott of CST to give a presentation on how to create more effective advertising.
Last night was Ireland’s first-ever Media Awards, held at the Burlington Hotel. ICAN’s media darlings were out in force, very proud of ICAN’s nomination for Media Agency of Year. We were one of only two independent Irish agencies to be short-listed in this category (and the only digitally focused one), the other nominees being globally owned media houses.
The victorious media team!
We were delighted to bring this home from the Digital Media Awards last Friday. So delighted in fact, the award nearly didn’t make it home at all.
Luckily for us, we take better care of our clients, which is of course why we had our hands on it in the first place.
The award was presented by Martin Murray, Head of Global Agency Operations at Google. Judges noted ICAN’S, “the consistent quality of ideas and strategy across a wide variety of campaigns”. Not our demure behaviour, dance moves or general decorum.
With so many talented agencies present, ICAN were delighted to be honoured with the award for Best Digital Agency.
And just a little overexcited.

This Is Just Amazing – 106 Years Old Kerosene Blackstone Oil Engine Start-Up
In this article we are going to say a few words about this incredible engine and then we are going to watch the video on our next page. The engine in the video is a Blackstone oil engine. The engine was built back in 1909 and the total power output is 10 horsepower. The purpose for building such an engine back in the time was quite simple – pumping water from a river to a market garden. The engine was filled with some explosives in 1920 causing the cylinder to blow up. A couple of years ago some guy bought the engine and installed a new cylinder and the engine was returned to service.
Back in the days there were a lot of times when the engine fell into disuse. It was even submerged due to several river floodings. Briefly, the engine was recovered in 1990 and in 1997 it was completely dismantled, cleaned and started again. This is the video of the fresh new start. You are going to see the whole process of starting such piece of the engineering world. First of all you have to heat hot bulb with a blow lamp in order to vaporise the kerosene. Another requirement is to preheat the the internal combustion chamber. This will actually allow the fuel ignition.
It’s just amazing to see this Blackstone oil engine startup in details.

Atlantic Canada's new normal: A year of COVID-19
Building an equal future for women in Atlantic Canada
What COVID-19 has taught us about long-term care
SPECIAL REPORT: Facets of family violence
Have you tried the SaltWire News app?
What's working for businesses in 2021?
UPDATED: COVID-19 news and numbers
Continuing coverage: Mass shooting in Nova Scotia
IN DEPTH: Covering a contentious lobster fishery
Since she was 16 years old, Becky Boutilier has been playing in the dirt and loving every second of it. So much so, she has made it her full-time career.
Boutilier is a Red Seal horticulturist who studied at the Nova Scotia Agricultural College in Truro. Since then, the Head of Chezzetcook, N.S. woman works with Clintar, a large landscape company, estimating, designing, consulting, and gardening.
“Gardening and plant care are a true passion of mine,” she says.
Did you know gardening doesn’t just have to be a summer activity? It can be done both indoors and outdoors in the winter as well.
Boutilier calls indoor gardening a form of "soul food." There is something about living with plants that is both elegant and calming, she says.
An indoor garden cleans the air, allows for aesthetic pleasure, and most importantly, gives off a positive energy transfer in the winter months, when all of our outdoor plants are dormant.
"It just makes a person happier," she says.
Like growing herbs? Having some pots inside means you'll have fresh ingredients for lunch and tasty teas, she says.
Boutilier says her indoor garden is all over her house, with succulents in her office, herbs in the kitchen, a summer planter overwintering in the entry, and ferns hanging from the ceiling. Soon, it will be time to start getting seeds to germinate and growing for transplanting in the spring.
Getting seeds ready in winter, she says, is one of the most challenging parts of winter gardening.
"You need to have a space that is clean, free of a cold draft and animals, and it’s always nice to have a dedicated space to do this, but it is not necessary," she says.
"If you have an entire room to do this in, you are ahead of the game and should consider investing in growing lights, shelves, and heating pads."
If you have limited space, a small tented indoor greenhouse with shelves placed beside a draftless area will do just fine, she adds.
“The beautiful thing about growing is that you can do it on any scale. This hobby can suit anyone,” she says.
If you are thinking about having an indoor garden, Boutilier offers the following tips and suggestions, regardless of your experience:
1. Consider Zen gardening to start. Succulents are very forgiving and great for beginner gardeners. They require very little maintenance and are beautiful.
2. Keep all your plants away from a cold draft. This is one of the leading reasons for a failed indoor plant, especially in the winter.
3. Keep your plants out of reach of pets whenever possible. If the pet is indoor/outdoor, they can bring in spider mites and other itsy-bitsy critters that will make short work of killing your plant. Cats have been known to use soil as a personal washroom and chew on leaves. Unfortunately, a lot of house plants can make our pets sick. The Poinsettia is a perfect example of a flower we keep inside over the winter that is poisonous to cats.
4. Research the watering and fertilizing recommendations and schedules of the plants you are growing. The requirements for optimum growth vary dramatically from one plant to another. If you currently grow succulents and herbs and treat them both the same, you may wonder why one is doing great and the other is barely holding on - there's your answer.
5. If you are growing indoor flowers like gerbera daisies and orchids, do not forget to deadhead them. You can cut the flowers off and make a centerpiece - just be sure to remove spent flowers before they go to seed to promote continuous blooming.
6. Plants grow, and many people forget that. The roots need the room, too. When humans get bigger, we buy bigger clothes - similarly, plants need bigger pots. If the pot size is not addressed, the plant will become root-bound and growth will stop.
7. Microgreens and herbs are a favourite of Boutlilier's to harvest indoors during the winter months. A fun project is to make a plant scape in an old aquarium - just put some drainage rock on the bottom of the tank, then fill one-quarter with potting soil. Plant your herb seeds, water, and wait, she says. You can easily use sunlight from a window or purchase a LED grow light to put over the top. It’s pretty and being able to see the roots through the glass adds an element of beauty to the display.
Winter gardening does not have to be done indoors, says Boutilier.
Plant witch hazel, crocuses, holly, evergreens, red dogwood, and Erica for winter interest. These plants, and many more, will have you smiling throughout the season, says Boutilier.
She has also planted cold-season crops in her garden last spring and late summer. This meant she could harvest fresh vegetables and herbs from her outdoor garden at Christmas and in the new year. Her kale, beets, carrots, Brussels sprouts, parsley, and rosemary were all good for the harvest up until the first heavy snow on Feb. 7, she says.
“My carrots were small, as I did a second planting at the end of July, but it was great to have them over the winter months,” says Boutilier.
Every time you plant a seed, you are helping reduce our carbon footprint, says Boutilier. Gardening is a beautiful and rewarding pastime, she adds.
"Winter gardening is especially helpful in my opinion, as it reflects a tenacious attitude toward how we see the world, showing them just because conditions are not perfect, we don’t give up," she said.
Boutilier says her nephew started a garden in February and, as he was choosing his plants, he said he loved how plants made him feel.
“It reassures me that it is just as important to acknowledge the feel of plants as its function,” she says.

Despite lower demand during winters, power consumers in Punjab are facing loadshedding by state-owned utility due to supply shortage. Though officials claimed that efforts were being made to restore the uninterrupted power supply, 4-6 hours powercuts has disrupted normal life in the state.
They attributed frequent technical snags in state-owned plants and not receiving power from Mundra power project to the current crisis.
Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) has resorted to buying power from other sources for the first time in this winter season to bridge the gap between demand and supply. PSPCL is facing a gap of 20-25 lakh units against the supply of 900 lakh units per day, official sources said.
"We have been observing frequent technical snag faced by our power plants in past several days, which led to less generation of power supply in the state," a senior PSPCL official said on Sunday. Currently, one unit with capacity of 210 MW of Ropar thermal power plant was not generating power because of technical snag, he added. Power crisis in the state also worsened because of power utility not being able to get power supply from thermal power project in Gujarat.

With the arrival of Tom Boonen and Anthony Kumpen, "Clubsport Racing" becomes "Clubsport Racing Stars" on the occasion of the 25h VW Fun Cup! Completed by the usual Philip Vandewalle and Bram Vanhengel, the quartet that will start at the Grand Classique on July 7 at Spa-Francorchamps was presented this week in Halle.
Exactly one year ago, Tom Boonen made his motor sport debut on the occasion of the 25H VW Fun Cup in the car of the Belgian VW Club. Even though the former World Cycling Champion has a busy sports schedule this year, he decided to return to VW Fun Cup for three races on the # 114: the 25 Hours VW Fun Cup, the 10 Hours of Mettet (22 -23 September) and the final of the season in Zolder (27-28 October).
The other rookie of "Clubsport Racing Stars" for the 25 Hours VW Fun Cup is Anthony Kumpen. Already associated with Tom Boonen a year ago (he is also his current team-mate in Belcar), Anthony Kumpen is a sure bet for Belgian motorsports. Co-recorder of victories at the 24 Hours of Zolder (6 between 2000 and 2012), the Limburgois has not only won many national titles, but he also won two crowns in European NASCAR (2014 and 2016). In short, it is a reference! And as the boy, who participated in "Dance with the Stars", is a real personality in Flanders, the # 114 should be in the limelight at Spa-Francorchamps.
This is all the more true as, on the track, the new "retro pop art" decoration of # 114 will invite the public and the fans to share the values of the team: conviviality, enthusiasm and professionalism. A nod to Andy Warhol, the # 114 also greets the number of UCI victories of our cycling champion.
In the pits, Joris Mans will work on the strategy of the team and M3M will do much more than the technical follow-up. Castaar, Planwine, Hazgo, Roberta Pastabar, Compare My Laps and Octane 76 are the faithful partners of the VW Fun Cup # 114. In the shadow, Spike Agency broods ideas and vouches for the spirit "Fun" project!
The start of the 25 Hours VW Fun Cup will be given at 16h, Saturday, July 7th. At this moment, for Tom Boonen, Anthony Kumpen, Philip Vandewalle and Bram Vanhengel, the emotion will be intense. And for you ?

Collagen Overview: What is Collage, Types of Collagen & Function?
What Is Collagen?
One of the proteins that make up the body is collagen. It is a protein whose job it is to keep the body's various components together. It is a protein that is produced by fibroblast cells and is found in the bodies of all animals, including humans. Collagen is also known as glue protein due to its properties. Collagen protein that makes up skin and hair. About 30% of the protein in the human body is said to be collagen. Of the collagen, 40% is distributed in the skin, 20% in bones and cartilage, and the rest in blood vessels and internal organs. When we think of collagen, we usually think of it as skin, but it actually exists in all tissues of the body.
Function of the collagen?
The main function of collagen is joining connective tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, bones, cartilage, haematological and adipose tissue and organs). Likewise, it acts as a supportive element that enables the body as a whole to be held together. Its purpose is to produce the fibres from which the organism's structures are made; as a result, it determines the degree of firmness and elasticity of these body structures. In addition, it also plays an important role in keeping the body hydrated.
In the case of bones, collagen is combined with calcium crystals. When collagen and calcium crystals combine to form bones, the resulting structure is hard and rigid; when collagen and elastin combine to form a skin, the resulting structure is network-shaped; when collagen and elastin combine to form cartilage, the resulting structure is a gel that absorbs the impacts caused by joint movements. All of the body's tissues and structures experience this. Hence, collagen holds the function of the whole body.
At the age of 30 or after 30, the collagen production and power of collagen to combine with other compounds decrease. That is why the body experiences disaster changes in the body. It causes problems with skin, bones, muscles and many more. According to estimates, the body creates half of the collagen at the age of 40 as compared to the young age. The loss of skin elasticity and flexibility, as well as joint pain, are some effects of this drop in production levels.
Collagen Produced In The Body
Collagen can be produced in the body without being ingested from food. However, it requires Vitamin C to create collagen. The synthesis of collagen is impossible without vitamin C.
Lack of vitamin C leads to scurvy, which inhibits the synthesis of collagen. Blood arteries lose their flexibility when collagen is absent, making them more prone to bleeding.
Your body can produce collagen protein, but if you don't get enough vitamin C, you won't get enough of it. While adding best collagen supplements, it is also important to pay attention to vitamin C as well, it is important to take amino acids, which are the building blocks. In addition, vitamin A is necessary for the synthesis of collagen.
Types Of Collagen
There are many types of collagen, more than 19 types. which are not thought of as a single protein but rather as a family of molecules since they vary according to the tissue in which it functions and the substances with which it is associated, among other things. Identical in nature, yet distinct from one another.
It is classified into types I, II, III, etc., according to the order in which it was discovered, and is characterised by slightly different shapes.
- Type I: This type of collagen makes up about 90% of the body's collagen It appears as fibres with striations that are clustered and form chains to give the body's tissues flexibility and resistance and is mostly found in the bones, cornea, dermis, and tendons.
- Type II: IT is present in elastic cartilage as well as in vitreous fluid of the eye, and some embryonic tissues. These tissues are resistant to sporadic pressure.
- Type III: It is found in the skin, veins, and muscular tissues. The organs that have the capacity to expand and contract are supported by it.
- Type IV: Predominantly found on the skin. Its purpose is to support the skin and enable it to filter various chemicals.
- Type V: Predominantly found in internal body organs and tissues like eye cornea, etc. Its role is similar to that of type I in that it provides tissue resistance.
Collagen For Skin
Collagen is an essential protein for the skin. Skin health is one of the collagen benefits. It creates and maintains the structure of tissues to make up the body. It moderates the firmness and flexibility of the skin tissues and cells. The appearance and health of the skin, nails and hair are dependent only on the collagen protein. Collagen production starts reduced with age, with some remedies and supplements you can restore its level at a creatin degree like hydrolyzed collagen, and collagen protein. There are many types of supplements, powder and pills available on the market. It reduces the effect of wrinkles, and fine lines by boosting the elasticity and moisturization of the skin. Hence, add collagen supplement for skin.
Collagen For Muscles & Joints
Collagen is also essential for the joints and bones. It forms connective tissues and helps in movement. The combination of collagen and hyaluronic acid put a positive effect on the muscles and joints. Hyaluronic acid is found in the bones and skin, acting as a lubricant for cartilage and ligaments. It helps to restore elasticity, firmness, pain and improves joint flexibility and mobility. It is also a great option for the arthritis patient and helps in the degeneration of bone cells and tissues.
Types of Collagen From Raw Material
Many types of collagen are available in the market. Raw materials prepared from the different raw materials are roughly divided into three types-
- Plant-derived collagen (Plant Collagen): This type of collagen is prepared from plants, fruits, and vegetables. It is easy to digest and perfect for vegetarian people.
- Animal-derived collagen (Animal Collagen): This type of collagen is prepared from chicken or pig skin extract. It does not have a very high resolution and is considered to be difficult to digest. Bovine is one collagen type which is specially prepared from cows. Not highly famous in India.
- Fish-derived collagen (Marine Collagen): This type of collagen is prepared for the fish, natural fish skin. It is cheaper to try scale-derived than fish-skin-derived.
Characteristics of plant-derived collagen
Type I is obtained from plant-derived collagen or vegan collagen. Tofu, Soy Protein, Bland beans, lemon, broccoli, sea buckthorn, etc are used in the preparation of this type of collagen. An organic and natural collagen supplement is smooth and good in taste. It is easy to digest and great to use.
Characteristics of animal-derived collagen
Type I, Type II, Type III, etc are obtained from the animal collagen. Cow bones, pig skins, chicken feet and cartilage are used to prepare the animal-derived collagen. The type of collagen obtained differs depending on the part of the animal. Like cartilage gives type II, skin and blood vessels give type III, etc. This type of collagen is most similar to human collagen. In addition, it is characterised by its low allergenicity and high biocompatibility.
Characteristics of fish-derived collagen
Marine Collagen or fish-derived collagen is Type I collagen and a large amount of type V collagen. The raw material for marine collagen is bones and skins from the fishes like tuna, bluefish, salmon, etc. It is commercialised as collagen peptides that have been reduced in molecular weight by enzymes. The regular use of marine collagen supplements is easy to absorb due to their lower molecular weight.
How To Ingest Collagen
Collagen is available in natural food, vegetables and many more. Collagen is made by many amino acids. Therefore, if you are able to consume protein, which is also made up of amino acids, from food, there is almost no shortage of collagen.
Foods rich in collagen include:
- Chicken wings
- Shark fin
- Beef tendon
- Chicken skin
- Berries and many more
Collagen-rich and healthy foods
Here is a list of collagen rich foods that you can use for collagen production and increase the level of collagen in the body, if you do not want to add the best collagen powder in india.
- Healthy Broth: Collagen is highly available in the skin, cartilage and bones of animals. Of course, you cannot consume this directly. Hence, having a broth or soup prepared from the bones and chicken legs is a great idea. It is a very nutritious option that helps in collagen as well as daily requirements of the body. Add vegetables in the broth too while preparing and consume it at dinner to avoid indigestion.
- Blue Fish: Fish is rich in protein, minerals and omega-3 polyunsaturated fats which increase collagen function and production in the body. You can have raw or cooked blue fish in your diet. In addition, it strengthens the bones as well as increases collagen production. Trout, tuna, salmon, and sardines are some of the fish examples.
- Meat: Having meat is good for the collagen level. As said, add it in broth or use it in some other way. Chicken, turkey, or rabbit are the ideal choices because they have a lower level of saturated fat and are considered to be lean meats, which are those with less than 10% total fat.
- Lemon: Lemon is rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C is an important vitamin required for collagen production in the body. It gives extra hype for the collagen level and collagen production. It improves the skin cells and overall skin health
- Gelatin: Gelatin is the protein which increases collagen production in the body. Well, the source varies from an animal. The source of gelatin is cows and pigs. The protein and amino acids present in the gelatin support collagen production.
- Nuts: As with oily fish, nuts also contain a lot of omega-3 fatty acids that increase the collagen in the body. Try a handful of almonds, walnuts, pistachios, etc to strengthen the collagen protein in the body.
Likewise, there are many kinds of collagen foods- pork, powdered skim milk, baked wheat gluten, Koya tofu, red bell pepper, broccoli, kiwi, strawberries, cabbage, soybeans, spinach, shrimp, etc are some other options to add.
In most supplements, collagen peptides are used for the collagen supplements. Collagen peptides are low-molecular-weight products that have been degraded from collagen. It is used efficiently when collagen is resynthesized in the body. When we talk about collagen from food, decomposed collagen becomes collagen peptides and is then used by the body. Collagen is a high molecular protein and its absorption is not smooth. The collagen peptide is a low-molecule protein and is easily absorbed by the body. Hence, collagen peptides supplement is also great.
Any Collagen supplement is also an easy option to add to the daily routine. As collagen is synthesised from protein. If you eat protein in every meal, you may be able to take in enough protein. For a supplement, you can directly choose to have a collagen supplement whether veg or nonveg, both options are available.
- Collagen Powder: The powder form of collagen-rich foods or animals. Mix 1 scoop of collagen powder in the water or any liquid to use every day.
- Collagen Pills: The extract form used for the collagen capsules and tablets. It needs to be used every day after the meal.
In the case of any supplement, there are many products that contain vitamin C and iron, which are better when taken with collagen. Check the presentence of vitamin C, iron, and other minerals with the decided collagen product. Or you can add these supplements separately. Vitamin C is one of the important nutrients for collagen production.

Solo Guitar: Performance, Accompaniment, and Arranging
Authored by John Baboian
Course Code: OGUIT-340
Why solo guitar? Because the guitar is one of the few instruments that can be considered a self-contained band. It has the ability to play melody, harmony, and rhythm, all at the same time. Plus, it’s advantageous to be able to do all of this without having to depend on other musicians to initiate accompanying sound. It is also an impressive ability to sound like several players at once, when it's only you doing the playing. Practical reasons for playing solo guitar include the mobility of the instrument, and the ability to be hired for less money overall than a band would require, a "plus" when promoting yourself to a prospective venue. And generally, the guitar sounds interesting when played properly as a solo instrument. The ability to put together melody, harmony, bass, rhythm, and "sell popcorn" at the same time is quite impressive when done well. And, of course, we're trying to take all of those solo gigs away from the piano players!
As an accompaniment instrument, the guitar has many virtues, some of which are explained above: mobility, freedom of sound, an interesting sonic spectrum, good grooves, and the financial ability of the venue to hire a smaller group. Throughout history, there have been solo guitar players and solo accompanists, from the original blues players, to the country and Western artists, to the Joe Pass solo jazz types, and even to the rock and pop artists who have gone acoustic and performed as guests on each other's records. The ability to perform solo guitar is the ability to be a complete player and not be dependent on another musician to fill out your sound palette.
The majority of this course will approach playing solo guitar from the perspective of a jazz standards musical direction, primarily because of the rich harmonic background that exists in much of that music. That does not mean that the player is limited to only jazz harmonic music, but it opens up the possibilities of creating interesting harmonic motion to accompany melody and deliver the whole package with interesting rhythmic groove. Once the player achieves a modicum of success in pairing melody and harmony, the music can go in any direction that the player wishes.
In this course, we will be working on melodic embellishment, harmony as it relates to the guitar fingerboard, rhythm as it relates to different musical grooves, and improvisation concepts to put together a complete solo guitar piece. Listening to the many great solo guitarists will be a part of every lesson.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Create more interesting melodic content, using techniques that include passing tones, upper and lower neighbor notes, and rhythmic variations
- Use creative reharmonization techniques
- Understand rhythm as it relates to different musical grooves
- Use improvisation concepts to put together a complete solo guitar piece

To understand the philosophical ambitions of Broom it is worth first looking in detail at what Wallace thought Markson had done. Markson's novel, a work of experimental fiction with a lean style reminiscent of Samuel Beckett, is narrated by a painter named Kate, who appears to be the last person alive and who has been alone on earth for many years by the time the novel opens. Kate doesn't so much narrate (for she has no audience) as write into the void, tapping out on a typewriter declarative statement after declarative statement in simple paragraphs of just one or two sentences. Unlike many novels of ideas, Wittgenstein's Mistress doesn't feature cerebral characters or lofty discussions. Though Kate makes highbrow allusions, her grasp of history and literature and philosophy is idiosyncratic and shaky. As Wallace noted, in Kate's hands intellectual ideas are "sprayed, skewed, all over the book."
After many years roaming the earth, futilely looking for anyone else, Kate has retired to a beach house, where she is writing out her thoughts. She does so with a peculiar controlled indirection, free-associating but looping back again and again to a recurring set of personal preoccupations—compulsively trying to keep straight the memory of what has been lost, organizing and reorganizing scattered memories of her own life and her piecemeal knowledge of the world to which she once belonged:
I do remember sitting one morning in an automobile with a right-hand drive and watching Stratford-on-Avon fill up with snow, which must surely be rare.
Well, and once that same winter being almost hit by a car with nobody driving it, which came rolling down a hill near Hampstead Heath.
There was an explanation for the car coming down the hill with nobody driving it.
The explanation having been the hill, obviously.
That car, too, had a right-hand drive. Although perhaps that is not especially relevant to anything.
The possibility increases that Kate's narration is unreliable, that she is mentally unhinged, as it becomes clearer that the onset of her peculiar experience of the world coincided with a profound personal loss. The book imparts a double-layered feeling of loneliness and isolation: Kate's is the voice of a writer trapped not only inside her own head but also inside a world that now exists only through her own continual reconstructing of it. The text she types, Wallace wrote, "is itself obsessed & almost defined by the possibility that it does not exist, that Kate does not exist."
What does any of this have to do with Wittgenstein? Part of the achievement of Markson's novel, one of the ways in which it avoids the pitfalls of many novels of ideas, is that it doesn't require any understanding of Wittgenstein. The novel operates on its own terms. But the allusion to Wittgenstein in its title, its repeated citation of the first sentence of the Tractatus ("The world is all that is the case"), and its stylistic affinity with that book (the Tractatus is also composed of short aphoristic paragraphs) all invite the reader versed in philosophy to wonder what Markson is up to. "This isn't a weakness of the novel," Wallace stressed. "Though it's kind of miraculous that it's not."
Wallace had read the Tractatus, of course (he wrote to Lance Olsen that he thought its first sentence was "the most beautiful opening line in western lit"). He knew that Wittgenstein's book presented a spare and unforgiving picture of the relations among logic, language, and the physical world. He knew that the puzzles solved and raised by the book were influential, debatable, and rich in their implications. But as a flesh-and-blood reader with human feelings, he also knew, though he had never articulated it out loud, that as you labored to understand the Tractatus, its cold, formal, logical picture of the world could make you feel strange, lonely, awestruck, lost, frightened—a range of moods not unlike those undergone by Kate herself. The similarities were not accidental. Markson's novel, as Wallace put it, was like a 240-page answer to the question, "What if somebody really had to live in a Tractatusized world?" Pronouncing the novel "a kind of philosophical sci-fi," Wallace explained that Markson had staged a human drama on an alien intellectual planet, and in so doing he had "fleshed the abstract sketches of Wittgenstein's doctrine into the concrete theater of human loneliness."

About this book
Today, people use a large number of "systems" ranging in complexity from washing machines to international airline reservation systems. Computers are used in nearly all such systems: accuracy and security are becoming increasingly essential. The design of such computer systems should make use of development methods as systematic as those used in other engineering disciplines. A systematic development method must provide a way of writing specifications which are both precise and concise; it must also supply a way of relating design to specification. A concise specification can be achieved by restricting attention to what a system has to do: all considerations of implementation details are postponed. With computer systems, this is done by: 1) building an abstract model of the system -operations being specified by pre-and post-conditions; 2) defining languages by mapping program texts onto some collection of objects modelizing the concepts of the system to be dealt with, whose meaning is understood; 3) defining complex data objects in terms of abstractions known from mathematics. This last topic, the use of abstract data types, pervades all work on specifications and is necessary in order to apply ideas to systems of significant complexity. The use of mathematics based notations is the best way to achieve precision. 1.1 ABSTRACT DATA TYPES, PROOF TECHNIQUES From a practical point of view, a solution to these three problems consists to introduce abstract data types in the programming languages, and to consider formal proof methods.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- A judge has ordered PG&E to turn over 650,000 emails to state regulators.
Officials say those emails could reveal a more complete picture of what some say is a cozy relationship between the utility and the Public Utilities Commission after the 2010 fatal pipeline explosion in San Bruno.
The explosion killed eight people and damaged nearly 40 homes.
Those emails will also be sent to San Bruno, the city mayor says it's a significant ruling.
"It helps us to realize what we are after in this whole situation regarding San Bruno is transparency and justice," said Jim Ruane, San Bruno Mayor.
State and federal criminal investigators are already looking into the email scandal.
PG&E released a statement. "We're committed to doing the right thing and to interacting with our state regulator in a transparent and ethical manner," the agency said.

Vacation was on my mind when i called few friends and they gave this idea to visit Hampi. At first, the name triggered black and white pictures of an ancient kingdom,some ruins, beautiful South Indian temples and a UNESCO world heritage tag, so I said, "no, not my kind of place, I don't think there will be any fun". After much discussions and 2 days of browsing on Google, I finally decided to explore the golden boulders of this city that was even mentioned in the epic "Ramayana".
We booked "Goan Corner" which is on the Hampi Island (the other side of the Tungabhadra river), food is the main attraction of this place with 100's of mouthwatering dishes(including the flagship Nutela Pancake & delicious Musaka)to cater people from all over the world. With the Bouldering plateau,different species of birds and the beautiful paddy fields at the backyard of the Goan corner, it's an amazing location to bring climbers and bird watchers here again and again and allowing them to get to know each other.Other attractions includes a horse size dog named Buzo, hammocks hanging outside the rooms to chill and an open rooftop with Millions of stars to count.
Our Hampi trip started with the delightful scene of witnessing the temple elephant relaxing in the sacred Tungbhadra river.During our short 3 days trip,Hampi offered a lot, from Hanuman's birthplace to one of the 12 sacred lakes of India - "Pampa Sarovar", Reservoir on Tungbhadra river, ruins of Vijayanagra kingdom, giant boulder strewn hills,mythological residues etc. but the best was the iconic giant monolithic statute of Lord "Narasimha" which was one of the ten incarnations of lord Vishnu. The image was destroyed during the enemy army invasion.
- when to go - October to Feb is undoubtedly the best season with a pleasant weather.
- where to stay - Best options are the guest houses and farm-stays across the river for backpackers.
- what to eat - 100's of cuisines. Hampi is a place to explore new cuisines.
- how to roam - TVS Luna and bicycles
- what to see - Monkey Temple,Stone chariots, Vijay nagar ruins, Narasimha Statue,Boulder Hills and Tungabhadra river.
