Step Into Serenity: Unveiling the Secrets of Ice Spice Foot Rituals
In the bustling rhythm of modern life, it’s easy to overlook the importance of self-care. However, nestled amidst the chaos, there lies a serene oasis waiting to be explored – the realm of ancient foot rituals, particularly the enchanting experience of ice spice feet Rituals. These rituals offer not only a respite from the stresses of daily life but also a rejuvenating journey into tranquility. Let’s delve into the captivating world of Ice Spice Foot Rituals, discovering their origins, benefits, and the profound sense of well-being they bestow upon those who partake in them.
The Essence of Ice Spice Feet
Ice Spice Foot Rituals trace their roots back through the annals of time, originating from ancient healing practices across various cultures. Combining the therapeutic properties of ice and spices, this ritual transcends mere relaxation, offering a holistic approach to rejuvenation. The concoction of ice and spices works in harmony to invigorate the senses, soothe tired muscles, and restore balance to the body and mind.
A Journey Through Time: Origins and Traditions
The practice of foot rituals dates back centuries, with evidence of its existence found in ancient civilizations such as Egypt, China, and India. In these cultures, feet were revered as sacred, believed to be a reflection of one’s overall well-being. Foot rituals were not merely acts of pampering but were deeply ingrained in spiritual and healing traditions.
In India, the ancient art of Ayurveda placed great emphasis on foot care as a means of promoting harmony and balance within the body. Ayurvedic foot massages, often incorporating herbal oils and spices, were believed to stimulate vital energy points known as “marma points,” thereby promoting overall health and well-being.
Similarly, Chinese reflexology, rooted in the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, holds that the feet are a microcosm of the entire body, with specific reflex points corresponding to various organs and systems. By stimulating these reflex points through massage and pressure techniques, balance and harmony can be restored to the body.
The Therapeutic Blend: Ice and Spice
Ice Spice Foot Rituals combine the cooling properties of ice with the invigorating essence of spices to create a sensory experience like no other. The application of ice helps to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and refresh tired feet, while the aromatic spices awaken the senses and promote relaxation.
Common spices used in ice spice feet Rituals include ginger, cinnamon, clove, and peppermint, each chosen for its unique therapeutic properties. Ginger, renowned for its anti-inflammatory and warming qualities, helps to stimulate circulation and ease muscle tension. Cinnamon and clove offer a comforting aroma and possess antimicrobial properties, promoting cleanliness and hygiene. Peppermint provides a refreshing sensation, cooling the feet and revitalizing the senses.
The Ritual Unveiled: What to Expect
Embarking on an Ice Spice Foot Ritual is akin to embarking on a journey of self-discovery and renewal. The ritual typically begins with a cleansing foot soak, infused with aromatic herbs and essential oils to soften the skin and prepare the feet for the ensuing treatment.
Following the foot soak, a blend of crushed ice and spices is applied to the feet, gently massaged into the skin to promote circulation and relaxation. The coolness of the ice provides instant relief, while the spices work their magic, imparting a sense of warmth and vitality.
As the ritual progresses, skilled therapists may incorporate techniques from reflexology or acupressure, targeting specific points on the feet to address individual concerns and promote holistic healing. The rhythmic pressure applied during these techniques helps to release tension, improve energy flow, and restore balance to the body.
Benefits Beyond the Feet: Mind, Body, and Soul
While Ice Spice Foot Rituals offer immediate relief for tired, achy feet, their benefits extend far beyond the physical realm. By promoting relaxation and reducing stress, these rituals help to calm the mind, allowing for a deeper sense of peace and tranquility to emerge.
The therapeutic properties of ice and spices also have a profound effect on the body’s internal systems, helping to boost immunity, improve circulation, and enhance overall well-being. Regular practice of Ice Spice Foot Rituals can lead to increased energy levels, better sleep quality, and a heightened sense of vitality.
Moreover, the act of taking time out for oneself, to indulge in self-care and nurture the body, is a powerful form of self-love. In today’s fast-paced world, where self-care often takes a back seat to productivity, Ice Spice Foot Rituals serve as a gentle reminder to prioritize one’s well-being and embrace moments of serenity.
Embracing Serenity: Incorporating Ice Spice Feet into Daily Life
Integrating the benefits of Ice Spice Foot Rituals into daily life need not be a daunting task. Simple practices such as soaking the feet in a bowl of warm water infused with aromatic spices, or massaging the feet with a cooling peppermint lotion before bedtime, can work wonders in promoting relaxation and rejuvenation.
For those seeking a more immersive experience, spa treatments and wellness retreats offer the perfect opportunity to indulge in the full sensory delight of Ice Spice Foot Rituals. Whether enjoyed alone or with a loved one, these rituals provide a sanctuary from the demands of everyday life, allowing for moments of pure bliss and tranquility.
In Conclusion: Finding Harmony in the Ice Spice Foot Ritual
In a world filled with constant noise and distraction, the allure of Ice Spice Foot Rituals lies in their ability to transport us to a place of serenity and stillness. Through the therapeutic blend of ice and spices, these rituals offer a path to rejuvenation, restoring balance to the body, mind, and soul.
As we step into the realm of ancient healing traditions, we discover the timeless wisdom that has guided humanity for centuries. In the gentle embrace of Ice Spice Foot Rituals, we find solace, renewal, and a profound sense of well-being. So, let us pause, take a moment for ourselves, and embark on this journey of serenity, one step at a time.

Weekly Pricing Pulse: Trade uncertainty piles on
Another week of negative trade news weighed on commodity prices with weaker sentiment sending prices for oil, chemicals, and nonferrous metals lower. Our broader composite Material Price Index (MPI) fell 1.1%, its fourth decline in the past five weeks. The MPI has stayed roughly flat since mid-February.
Oil prices were the biggest mover in the MPI last week. Brent crude slid from $68/barrel on Monday to $62/barrel on Friday, May 31. Despite OPEC restraining production and reduced exports from Iran and Venezuela, the market remains well supplied with demand proving to be tepid. Trade policy continues to weigh on demand. Nonferrous metals prices fell 0.5%, the ninth decline in the last ten weeks, with copper, a bellwether for the base metals complex, falling to its lowest level since July 2017. Chemicals prices slid 2.9% on falling input costs and soft demand. Iron ore continues to push against the general trend in commodity markets, rising to almost $99/metric ton last week, its highest price since June 2014.
While the breakdown in US-China negotiations has been roiling markets for the past month, it was President Trump's threat to place new tariffs on Mexican imports and Prime Minister May's resignation that were the catalysts for last week's retreat in commodity, equity and bond markets. President Trump's threat to invoke the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs on Mexican imports was particularly destabilizing because only hours before Mexican President Obrador had announced that he would submit the new US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement (the USMCA) to the Mexican Senate for ratification.

Jake Bugg’s remarkable ascent began in 2012 when his self-titled debut album entered the UK charts at #1 (aged 18, making him the youngest British male artist ever to do so), going on to sell double platinum and shortlisted for the UK Mercury Music Prize. Success only accelerated Bugg’s creative momentum, releasing a follow-up twelve months later, 2013’s richly textured Shangri La, recorded in Malibu with Rick Rubin. That album returned Bugg to the top five, earning him his second Brits nomination, a landmark show at London’s Royal Albert Hall and a sold-out UK arena tour. After joining Mumford and Sons on their sold-out Gentleman Of the Road show at Sydney’s Domain late last year, the Nottingham local has announced that he is back with album number three On My One, which will be released on June 17th. To make three albums by the age of 21 is no mean feat. To singlehandedly make On My One shape shifting effortlessly from blues to pop, rap to folk and soul to country through great songwriting is nothing short of remarkable.
Joining Jake and making their first trip to Australia will be Stockport five-piece Blossoms, off the back of a massive 2015 knocking off sets at Reading and Leeds, T in the Park, Latitude and Festival No.6. Hotly tipped for 2016 band of the year, the band have been announced as number four on the BBC Sound of 2016 list as well as being included in Spotify’s Spotlight on 2016, MTV Brand New for 2016, iTunes/Apple Music New Artists 2016 and tipped by several other sites and publications for more success in 2016. Blossoms channel their unique pop-rock sound with shimmering synths, crashing drums, a catchy bass line and Tom Ogden’s now unmistakable vocals, their Australian debut is not to be missed!
July 2016 DATES:
Tue 26 Jul – State Theatre, Sydney
Wed 27 Jul – Palais Theatre, Melbourne
Fri 29 Jul – Metro City, Perth* (Blossoms will not be performing in Perth)

Tom King partners with illustrator Mikel Janin for volume four of the DC Comics series Batman. This is a story from the early days of the Dark Knight when two of his most fearsome rogues battled for control of Gotham City.
According to its Amazon description,
Early in Batman’s career, the Joker and the Riddler would seemingly be natural allies. But each man determined that he and he alone must be the one to kill the Bat…and either would sooner burn down Gotham than be beaten to the punch line.
Untold until now, one of the darkest chapters in Batman’s history sees all of Gotham’s villains choosing sides in a battle of wits that soon turns into a full-blown war—complete with civilian casualties. In the War of Jokes and Riddles, only one side can claim victory…but the scars it leaves will shape Batman’s future as he makes the most important decision of his life.
This is one of the most brilliant story-arcs to come out of the DC Rebirth. It is exciting to see the Riddler and the Joker battle it out for control of Gotham City and for the honor of killing the Batman. King brilliantly crafts this story, showing how the two criminal masterminds clash with Batman trying to prevent the collateral damage from getting worse. Likewise, Mikel Janin’s artwork perfectly illustrates the plot as Batman uses every means to stop Gotham from being torn apart.

Given our role in serving influential organizations across the globe, KPMG has frequent touchpoints with chief supply chain officers (CSCOs) leading to insights regarding top-of-mind issues and trends. In our most recent conversations, CSCOs are telling us that their supply chains are regaining stability and singled out inventory, working capital, and automation as their most significant current concerns.
- CSCOs are finally able to see their inventory levels stabilize after years of having to manage supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic and global events.
- With supply chains now more reliable, CSCOs are taking a “back-to-basics” approach to managing inventories, such as price negotiations, sourcing, and demand planning. At the same time, with the uncertain economy and rising interest rates, CSCOs are carefully watching their working capital levels.
- Even with more reliable supply chains, visibility remains at top priority for CSCOs. Facilitated by a “control tower” approach, visibility can help increase efficiencies, promote cost optimization, and manage risk.
- Finally, CSCOs are looking at automation and robotics for their warehouse and shipping operations, but most are taking a measured approach, testing out solutions in specific facilities before turning to more organization-wide deployment.

Slow Dances Are The Best Dances
When I went to feel all the feels, I find a song. It has to be a thinking song. A song that makes me cry. It makes me think. It makes me grateful. A song that makes me feel things. Today was a day like that.
It started pretty much like any other Saturday. Errands, eating, coffee. I initially planned on working out, but then started studying and I knew I needed to get my butt in gear on this current certification. Assignment #4 was giving me trouble. It wasn’t hard, just time consuming. I knew I just needed to make that a priority today.
When I study or when I am working at home I always play music. Usually it is the playlist Peaceful Piano on Spotify. Today, I wanted more. Today, I needed more.
Sometimes when I get stressed out, I don’t feel like I am stressed out and then this is what happens. The music happens. The crying happens. I realize that IS how I relieve my stress. It doesn’t happen too often. Maybe every few months. It just depends on what is going on my life.
Today was a day like that. Sitting here. Working on my assignment. Listening to “Remember When” by Alan Jackson. On repeat, over and over. Listening to the lyrics. Really listening to that song. Going through life. Going through it. Vowing the vows and walking the walk and giving our hearts. That was us. That was John and me.
I’m sitting here letting myself feel. Letting myself feel the music. “Remember when, 30 seemed so old. Now looking back, it’s just a stepping stone, to where we are, where we’ve been, said we’d do it all again, remember when?”
“Remember when, we said when we turned gray, when the children grow up and move away, we won’t be sad, we’ll be glad for all the life we’ve had, and we’ll remember when.”
So, I’ve been working for hours. Slowing feeling less stressed. Slowing letting it melt away. John walked by and now I grab him and make him slow dance with me. We both feel the music, we both feel our love that has not wavered one time since we first laid eyes on each other in May of 1997. There is no doubt our love was meant to be. The timing. The synchronicity. Every little thing that came before us, every little piece of life we lived before us, every action and reaction that came before us. What if something was different? What if something changed? What if something the night we met didn’t happen? We never would have met. We never would have come together. We never would have found each other. We never would have gotten married. We never would have had Tayler.
I thank God every single day for this life and this man. I am so glad for all the life we’ve had.

The Prince of Darkness is back with a new record and a cancelled tour, on the heels of the announcement that he is suffering from Parkinson’s disease. ‘Ordinary Man’ is his first album in 10 years, and it’s definitely his best since at the very least 2001’s ‘Down to Earth’, and arguably his best since 1995’s ‘Ozzmosis’. I didn’t expect much from a 71-year old Ozzy, but I was pleasantly surprised. He attempts to update his sound and while it can feel a little disingenuous at times, it works for the most part.
The first half of the album is definitely the strongest section; the real clunkers are all in the back 6 tracks, intersped with decent tracks. But the album lacks a GREAT single. The title track, ‘Straight to Hell’ or ‘Under the Graveyard’ (the video is great) are all really good songs, but wouldn’t have been singles on something like ‘No More Tears’. A look at the credits sheds light on the songwriting, with names like the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith, Guns n’ Roses’ Duff McKagan, producer Andrew Wotman and songwriter Alexandra Tamposi, who wrote hits for Justin Bieber and Kelly Clarkson. It’d be easy to blame Tamposi for the unusual musical flourishes, but her name is associated with the best tracks on the album. But don’t expect a lot of Randy Rhoads/Jake E. Lee/Zakk Wylde-style guitar riffing; this is a milder, tamer Ozzy who flirts with pop quite a bit throughout the record.
Having Elton John duet with Ozzy on ‘Ordinary Man’ works well without even the ‘shock’ value of having the two very different singers together. ‘It’s a Raid’ is a duet with Post Malone, and while it is an obvious attempt to modernize Ozzy’s image, it’s pretty good, and one of the few uptempo tracks on the record. And if you wanted more of that, the last track ‘Take What You Want’ is an actual Post Malone track featuring Ozzy and Travis Scott. That one starts well with Ozzy’s intro, then goes sideways when Malone enters. There’s nothing wrong with the song mind you, it’s a decent pop track, but it has no business on Ozzy’s record. This goes way beyond modernizing Ozzy’s sound and just sounds insincere. The album is also peppered with little callbacks to his stage banter and classic sound, and those are probably more interesting for someone not up to date on Ozzy’s body of work. But if that’s your case, your time would be better invested diving into ‘Blizzard of Ozz’, ‘No More Tears’ and Black Sabbath’s ‘Master of Reality’ right now. You’ll thank me later.
The album’s biggest flaw is its lack of a great track or two. The singles aren’t spectacular, but a good chunk of the track list is decent to good. And with Ozzy’s health a concern (but haven’t we been saying this for the last 20 years at least?), I won’t complain that we’re getting new Ozzy songs. Lyrically, Ozzy’s tackling his own mortality and legacy, and it’s easy to see that the singer feels he’s nearing the end of his journey. He did say he wanted to do another one soon, so maybe this isn’t goodbye after all.
‘Ordinary Man’ is a decent update to Ozzy’s sound that could alienate a portion of his older fans, but it shouldn’t. Take it for what it is, and it’s a decent record, and a minor miracle from a man who has no business still being alive.

IN ONE ACCORD: Davia Moore-Gordon (2nd left), Acting Principal at The Randolph Lopez School of Hope, with VMBS' Courtney Campbell (left) and Naketa West (2nd right); Minister Claudia Ferguson, Secretary at the NLPBC and Rt. Rev. Stanley Clarke, NLPBC Chairman.
PROCEEDS from the 2019 National Leadership Prayer Breakfast, set for Thursday, Jan. 17, will be pumped into the Peace Management Initiative’s (PMI) Safe Schools Monitors Programme, which commences this month. The announcement was made on Tuesday morning, as the NLPB committee hosted a press briefing inside the Rio Bueno Suite of the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in New Kingston.
The aim of the project is to provide greater security and support to pedestrian students travelling from school in the Kingston Central police division. The main schools being targeted under the initiative are: Kingston College, Holy Trinity High, St. George’s College, Kingston Technical and Alpha High and Primary.
According to the PMI, the main risks to the students on their way home include bullying, harassment and robberies. Six safety resource monitors will be trained in the areas of conflict resolution, psychological first aid, mentorship and guidance and first aid.
“The [PMI project] is a timely response to a growing crisis in our communities and is fully deserving of our support at this time,” says Rt. Rev. Stanley Clarke, Chairman of the NLPB committee. “It is imperative that we find effective ways to end the scourge of fear and insecurity facing our children at school and play. It is imperative that we collaborate to find effective ways to disarm the perpetrators of crime and violence. It is imperative that we collaborate to find effective ways to win the war against what is not good for Jamaica.”
The project, which will also include the promotion of community initiatives, town hall meetings, socials and workshops, is scheduled to run from January to June.
Now in its 39th year, the National Leadership Prayer Breakfast (sponsored by the VM Foundation), sets aside funds from annual donations to support a charity selected by the committee. In the past, they’ve made sizeable contributions to Children First, the Eira Schrader Home for the Aged, last year’s adoptee the Randolph School of Hope, among others.
This year’s prayer breakfast theme, “I Pledge,” was inspired by the national motto.

The beginning of the week didn’t change power of balance of the exchange market considerably. News was mainly ignored – the data on PMI business activity in the Eurozone were generally better than predicted, still they helped little to euro, the report on houses sales in US secondary market was slightly worse than expected, but dollar bulls weren’t disappointed much. Looking for a reason to speculate, players use any suitable grounds – Canadian dollar was actively moving against the background of oil prices fluctuations yesterday. Herewith general market mood remains the same – there is still a demand for dollar on the threshold of increase of rates in the U.S.A.
Today main events are the first evaluation of GDP for the 3rd quarter in Germany and the report of German institute IFO on moods in business environment on one hand, and the second evaluation of GDP for the 3rd quarter, Index of consumer confidence, Richmond’s production activity and relatively new indicator – the balance of foreign trade in the U.S.A. on the other hand. Preliminary forecasts are in favor of dollar – decrease of economic expectations in Germany by IFO and probable upward revision of US GDP. Still, as is often the case, obvious positive can be used for profit fixation. Dollar growth rates are gradually slowing, herewith dollar’s index is approaching March maximums, the number of short positions on euro is close to annual maximums according to CFTC data, and long weekend is ahead. Under such conditions dollar bulls may not have enough strength for further strengthening of American currency.
Yesterday EURUSD pair tested levels slightly below 1.0600, but failed to fix there. Today one more attempt can be expected. Herewith our technical indicators are again concentrated in oversold areas. For us, it is a signal of close correction. At least, a pause with consolidation in narrow ranges is possible. So, we fear to renew short positions on euro, and there are no any signals for purchases.

So a couple weeks ago, I got the Wii Fit. If you’re not familiar with it, it’s a balance board that connects to the Wii game console and comes with many games that require you to balance on the board to play the game. The “fit” part of it is that it is supposed to get you into shape. It’s a lot of fun and after the wedding Saturday, Revel and I had some fun with it (before even changing out of our clothes).
Here I am doing my best Hula Hooping. 🙂

Snyder (Daniel Mears / The Detroit News)
WOOD-TV8 in Grand Rapids has scrapped plans for debates it hoped to hold next week between Michigan’s gubernatorial and U.S. Senate candidates.
“The campaigns for Gov. Rick Snyder and U.S. Senate candidate Terri Lynn Land, both Republicans, never agreed to debate,” the station said earlier this week.
The announcement from News Director Rebecca Sapakie said the proposed debate plans were accepted by both Democrats, gubernatorial candidate Mark Schauer of Battle Creek and U.S. Rep. Gary Peters of Bloomfield Township, who’s running for the U.S. Senate.
There’s still time to schedule debates before voters go to the polls Nov. 4. Michigan State University also has offered to host one.
Land of Byron Center and Peters haven’t appeared on the same stage since the Detroit Regional Chamber’s Mackinac Policy Conference in May. Peters used the announcement of WOOD-TV8’s failed debate plan, in Land’s home territory of Grand Rapids, to issue a sharp challenge.
“To me it is a basic job requirement, a basic responsibility to the voters of Michigan, that if you are going to be a United States senator and want to run for the United States Senate, you should be willing to stand on a stage and defend the positions that you are taking,” Peters told The Detroit News. “Unfortunately, she (Land) has refused to have those discussions.”
Michigan Radio reported that Land, in a Tuesday appearance, said she is “always willing to talk to voters,” but was leaving debate talks up to those in her campaign in charge of such things.
Regarding governor debate plans, WOOD-TV8 political reporter Rick Albin said the last time he spoke with Snyder, the governor indicated he had accepted only an invitation to a joint appearance with Schauer “on the east side of the state” but “even that could not be worked out between his campaign and the Schauer camp.”
Snyder wanted to hold a joint appearance, not necessarily a debate, at the Detroit Economic Club, but the two sides could not agree on a time and date. When those talks collapsed, so did any discussion about a second joint appearance on Grand Rapids TV, Snyder campaign manager Kyle Robertson said.
Team Schauer outspends Snyder camp by $1.3M
Through Labor Day, supporters of Schauer’s bid to be Michigan’s next governor outspent campaigns supporting Snyder’s re-election effort by nearly $1.3 million.
Public records show Team Schauer poured $5.63 million into ads supporting the former congressman or attacking the governor, while Team Snyder has spent $4.36 million supporting the incumbent and criticizing his opponent, according to new spending data compiled by the Michigan Campaign Finance Network.
But Snyder and the Republican Governors Association argue they’re positioned to outspend Schauer and Democratic groups in the final 62-day stretch. On Tuesday, Snyder rolled out his first statewide TV ad since he was dressed in a scuba diving outfit in an early February Super Bowl ad.
The more than $2 million ad buy is part of a $7 million TV blitz the governor’s re-election team plans to wage every day until the Nov. 4 election, Robertson said Wednesday.
“Labor Day marks the turning point in the campaign that Snyder will be making a heavy, heavy ad buy communicating his message to voters,” Robertson told the Insider.
Snyder’s campaign has claimed Schauer’s TV strategy has weaknesses because Schauer is not airing any TV ads, although the Democratic Governors Association went back on the air Wednesday attacking the governor’s record on education spending.
DGA has made $6 million in TV ad reservations and Schauer’s campaign has said it will spend another $3 million before Election Day. The RGA has not said how much it will spend this fall, though the group had $4.32 million in a campaign bank account in late July. “We fully expect to have the resources we need to communicate our message and win this race,” Schauer spokesman Zack Pohl said.

Five days after the House narrowly approved a GOP health care bill after months of internal divisions, Democrats used a letter to Republican leaders arguing that the legislation faces "an uncertain path to the president's desk".Facing solid Democratic opposition and controlling the Senate 52-46, Republicans can lose only two GOP senators' votes but prevail with Vice President Mike Pence breaking a 50-50 tie.Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has appointed a group of GOP senators to craft their version of the legislation.Last week, Kimmel delivered an emotional monologue describing his newborn son's recent life-saving surgery and saying Congress must pass legislation helping people afford health care.Appearing as Kimmel's guest, Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., urged viewers to call Democratic senators and tell them to engage in the health care debate and to tell Republicans to back legislation lowering premiums and providing adequate coverage.

How do you know it’s time to replace your shoes?
Still, you know it’s time to replace your kicks when they begin to have less pop (or response) upon contact, there are visible signs of wear on the sole, and the upper (the part covering your foot) shows signs of breaking down, says Ted Fitzpatrick, director of product footwear running and training at Reebok.
Do you need to replace your running shoes?
Unfortunately, statistics show you are most often in need of replacing your running shoes compared to the other two types. Although the rest of the shoe may look pristine, if the heel of the shoe is worn down excessively the foot and ankle may be compromised providing a gradual decrease of support, which can lead to injury before you know it.
How long do walking shoes last?
The typical athletic shoe is only built to last 350 to 500 miles. While walkers are not pounding their shoes as hard as runners, you are unlikely to still get good support and cushioning past 500 miles. Your weight is also a factor鈥攖he more you weigh, the faster your shoes will wear out.

After a short break this weekend, I had multiple requests for custom tatoos. Some of it being very interesting and some less.
I picked the 3 best tattoo requests and started early this morning on one design.
It is a half/quarter sleeve in maori style, based on a custom design I have done earlier. You can find it on my custom page and look for "full sleeve maori tattooed".
The design was a bit smaller then the one on my gallery, around 20 cm wide and 23 cm high.
Here's the first basic outline of the tattoo and one with a little fill in it.
The first design is a bit too straight on the borders, so I adjusted it to make it more playfull. My customer really loved the design and fill, so now I will finish the fill and finalize the maori design.
Will get back to you soon with an update on this design.

Military concert bands and jazz ensembles come through the Bicknell Center routinely and the Air Force Academy Falconaires were the next in line.
The Bicknell Family Center for the Arts hosted the Air Force Academy Falconaires, the Air Force’s top jazz ensemble, on Oct. 9. The ensemble performed jazz standards such as “Mood Indigo” and “Stardust,” as well as jazz arrangements of popular music such as “Creep” by Radiohead and “Over the Rainbow” from “The Wizard of Oz,” as well an original work by Falconaire pianist Adam Ohlson. The ensemble consisted of veterans serving in the U.S. Air Force on various instruments including clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, keyboard, bass, drums, and also featured a vocalist singing.
“It’s just so great to be here in a musically supportive community,” said Master Sergeant Julie Bradley, the singer for the Falconaires. “We love performing, but there’s just something special here in Pittsburg.”
Bradley is a native of Kansas and said it was great to return to her home state to give a concert.
“I’m from Wichita, actually,” Bradley said. “I went to Wichita North High School, went to Wichita State for both my undergrad and master’s… I’m a Kansas girl through and through… The others give me crap about it too, but I don’t care… I think Kansas is a great place to live; a very nice place to do what you love.”
Before their concert, the Falconaires sent a handful of advancers to inspect the Bicknell Center and it’s performance space and sound equipment. According to Bicknell Center technical and client services coordinator Jon Eastman, the advancers had nothing but great things to say about the Bicknell Center.
“I thought they were just stupendous,” Eastman said. “… They were just as professional as any other group that comes through… This was actually their second time coming to the Bicknell Center and the sound guy Janusz told me, ‘Oh yeah, I remember this now.”
Eastman said that on the day of the concert, the load in for the ensemble was “simple,” because of the professionalism of the group.
“They’re pretty self-sufficient,” Eastman said. “With most touring groups, they’ll bring their sound board, because that’s what the sound tech is used to, and they’ll use our sound system. When they came, they got to leave all their speakers on the truck… They plugged into our sound system because frankly, it’s a good system to use.”
Eastman also said that the Falconaires tour performing at the Bicknell Center serves for great advertisement for both the Bicknell Center and for Pittsburg State.
“The performers that were there absolutely loved the space,” Eastman said. “There’s a pretty quick cycle of players (within the ensemble), and the ones who came back for the second time loved it… They also really enjoyed how supportive the community is in this (music)… Apparently, they have an issue getting the community to come out to concerts elsewhere and they really appreciated the support from the city of Pittsburg.”

A new artificial-intelligence (AI) based algorithm may help people store more pictures and share videos faster, scientists say.
The world produces about 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day, said researchers from Pennsylvania State University in the US.
Storing and transferring all of this enormous—and constantly growing—number of images, videos, Tweets, and other forms of data is becoming a significant challenge, they said.
It threatens to undermine the growth of the internet and thwart the introduction of new technologies, such as the Internet of Things.
The new algorithm, that uses a machine learning technique based on the human brain, could ease that data clog by reducing the size of multimedia files, such as videos and images, and restoring them without losing much quality or information.
Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence, or AI.
The algorithm, called the iterative refinement algorithm was able to produce restored images that had better quality than the benchmarks selected for the study.
This included a compression system designed by Google, which the researchers considered the best at the time.
People compress data to store more photos on their smartphone, for example, or share videos across the Internet or over social media platforms such as YouTube and Twitter.
Lee Giles, a professor at Penn State, said that the system's success in compressing files is due to the use of a recurrent neural network decoder, rather than a feed-forward network or a conventional (linear) decoder.
A recurrent neural network uses stateful memory, which allows it to store pieces of data as it makes calculations.
However, a regular neural network—or feed-forward neural network—cannot store data and can only process information sequentially.
With the added memory capacity, recurrent neural networks can perform better at tasks, such as image recognition.

💪Skills and Strengths
My Neuro-exceptional talent
The first illustrations I was producing through my childhood had to do with concept art for video games and movies. I was doing all the planning all the character design and everything for the process prior to having been education. I realize all these years later, I am an artist from a very young age. Also, when I look into video games I love concept art and its beautiful to me and helps me to get into the environment that is used for the game. It's amazing to immerse myself in the world before it has been developed, before being modeled out, it has to start as an idea that has to be flushed out before presenting a final product to a team. I think it would be very awesome to be able to communicate that to a team.

When is something destructive and unacceptable but requires a compassionate understanding? This is a delicate line to walk. Allowing compassion to negate action in confronting a negative force only allows for greater or fatal destruction. This dilemma has, historically, paralyzed humans and allowed events to progress to the point it requires more severe action than was initially required.
As offensive as it may seem to many, Reality has its place in a society inundated with multiple forms of sociopathic mentalities, and conventional/traditional institutions that have become managed by the mentally ill and fostered a generational decline in emotional and mental well-being.
- From pre-school to Harvard the mental illness is self-evident.
- From municipal governments to the White House, the inmates are in charge of the asylums.
- From Hollywood to the internet, the subtle micromanagement of the human mind is a subliminal virus.
- From the integrity of the family unit to the sexuality of our innate birthright is being disoriented into a degradation.
- The core values of our religions have been polarized into the fanaticisms of extremist politics.
- The worthiness of the individual is now measured by ones’ financial
- A worthy concept of ‘equality in Justice’ is now a multileveled process of financial statement, social eliteness and who profits most.
- The vivid line between Right and Wrong is now only decided by whether one is caught or not.
- The measure by which a society or nation is sovereign is no longer defined as these collectives no longer have a defined identity.
- Racism is more prejudiced as those who pretend to oppose racism become more racist.
- ‘Journalism’ has become a profession of ‘media mercenaries’ and tools of political propaganda.
- And, the list goes on in this, ‘The War of Minds’.
The ‘Self Analysis’
It matters not whether one believes in a ‘spiritual’ world or not. Simply believing life is an organic phenomenon and ends at death is a viable option of thought. What does matter, however, is what we, as human creatures, do with the time we have. How we think, what we value as those principles worthwhile for ourselves, the entirety of lifeforms and our posterities, is the essence and nectar of our time. Whether we like it or not, these principles are our only real value and go far beyond our self-indulgences and narcissisms.
The ’War of Minds’ is real. It is not new. The entire history of human consciousness has involved the individual and collective state of mind, the conflicts between them, and those who impose themselves upon a ‘collective of mind’. This is most self-evident today, as we are in a time of incredible capacities to influence the individual and collective consciousness.
As the mentally ill impose themselves upon societies it has the capacity to disarm those with an innate sense of principles. The concepts of compassion and tolerance are used by the mentally ill to make Reality an evil. Various forms of repetition convince a populace that a fundamental principle with purpose is bigotry. The paradox lies in the bigotry of the mentally ill who suffer illusions of righteousness while having no principles.
Ultimately, the analytical challenge is within us as individuals. Is our tolerance authentic or cowardly? Is our compassion a sincere sense of humanity or an appeasement to the sicknesses that inundate our world? Yes, these are hard and harsh questions few are honest enough with themselves to ask, much less honestly answer.
In Reality, these questions will have their conclusion, with or without us. The insane will overpower sanity and a dystopian asylum will rule our posterity, or the sane will overcome the mentally ill and restore the order of life, allowing our tolerance and compassion to be authentic.
The ‘foreseeings’ of long ago have come to fruition, and the era of ‘purging’ is imminent. As much as the word ‘Evil’ is not in my personal vocabulary, it must be called what it is. Universal principles will be at war with the evil of decadent minds and the mentally and emotionally ill. It will be a complex and diverse conflict with many names and objectives, and it will span decades of anarchy.
Reality has its place in the world of human events, just as it is in all matters of our universe, and must not be seen as a negative or gloomy view of life. Rather, a natural course of transitions from one era to another. This era of humanity has taken its course and reached its apex. What will transpire and what will emerge from the ashes is directly influenced by the individual and collective consciousness, now and in due course.
This era will have its unique elements of paradoxes. Intolerance of intolerance pretending to be tolerant, passion of principles will override compassion, clarity of individual thought will defy collective mental illness, institutions of family and genital integrity will demise institutions of perpetual insanity and delusional thought.
You and I will not be able to ‘straddle the fence’, be neutral, or appease those around us for fear of disenfranchisement. Knowing your ‘real truths’ and principles will reveal themselves whether we want them to or not. REALITY is not selective.

How We Present
Sustainable Living Center at MUM aims to be first commercial off-grid building
by Global Good News staff writer
Global Good News Translate This Article
12 March 2013
The Sustainable Living Department and its new building at Maharishi University of Management are the great pride of the university.
Dr David Fisher, the chair of the department, spoke recently about the progress of the Sustainable Living Center.
It is truly a unique building, he said, one that aims to be completely off-grid. In other words, the building will not rely on the municipal water supply, local sewage system, or electrical power grid.
'We moved into the building in April of last year and the students love it,' Dr Fisher said. 'We've had many visiting groups come through who have really liked it.'
He added, 'It is a very ambitious building.'
Indeed, it is one of the most ambitious non-residential buildings that Dr Fisher is aware of.
He explained that one of the goals of the building is to meet the certification standards of four different building philosophies: LEED Platinum, Living Building Challenge, Building Biology, and, of course, Maharishi Vedic architecture.
'In addition, we want the building to be completely off-grid with regards to heating, cooling, electricity, water, and waste disposal,' Dr Fisher said.
As many of the materials as possible are locally sourced, he said, adding that the walls are constructed of earth literally from across the street.
Dr Fisher explained that an off-grid commercial building is something truly unprecedented. 'As far as I know, it has never been accomplished and it's very difficult,' he said.
But the Maharishi University of Management Sustainable Living Center is making progress in that direction.
Now the building's water system is completely off-grid. All water is sourced from the rainwater that falls on the roof and is collected in a cistern. Naturally, Dr Fisher added, the water is filtered many times before being used.
In addition, funding for the greenhouse was just secured, so the greenhouse will soon be finished. Even with a partially completed greenhouse, students have already started planting and growing inside, Dr Fisher said. Once it is finished, the greenhouse will be used to capacity.

It’s been a tough past few days for Bitcoin.
In spite of the recent rally off the $8,600 lows that has brought BTC to $9,300, the market remains depressed. BTC is trading just under 10% shy of the May highs of $10,100. Altcoins are in a similar boat.
The bearish price action may unfortunately continue if Bitcoin fails to break past two key resistances that lie ahead.
Bitcoin Trapped Below Key Resistance Level, Or Two
Analyst Nunya Bizniz recently noted that Bitcoin is currently trading below a crucial resistance level at $9,200. The technical level he indicated marked three previous highs, one in July, one in August, and one in February of this year.
“The VWAP anchored to June 26th high has been formidable resistance. Flirting with it again. Note: All breaks above the AVWAP have always resulted in lower highs. A close above $9,944 would change that,” the analyst commented.
Bitcoin also remains below the crucial $10,500 level.
This level holds a similar importance to the level identified by Bizniz. Some, in fact, say that $10,500 is more important Bitcoin’s bull case than the VWAP.
The lead technical analyst at crypto research firm BlockFyre wrote:
“If Bitcoin gets over this. There isn’t much standing in the way of new all-time highs. They’d be on the horizon. Way less resistance than anything BTC overcame going from 3.7k to here. Would be a macro higher high confirmed. Don’t underestimate the implications!”
Another analyst shared the sentiment. He wrote in April that if Bitcoin manages to flip $10,500 into support, his bearish bias will flip bullish.
This is notable because the analyst in question is one who called for BTC to revisit the $3,000s and XRP the $0.10 range months before it did.
It Will Break Through, Fundamentals Show
The fundamentals suggest that Bitcoin will break through the two aforementioned resistances.
As reported by NewsBTC previously, BTC stands to benefit as the Chinese yuan slides against the U.S. dollar.
The recent tensions in Hong Kong and the subsequent global response have weakened the Chinese currency against other currencies. Against the dollar, the yuan is at lows not seen since the peak of 2019’s trade war.
While still a while away, Bitcoin breaking through the resistances will set this nascent market up for an even greater rally.
“The most bullish technical analysis event of this year will be breaking the $10,500 resistance. Once we do that, it is showtime,” an analyst said.

OUTLINE plans for five new homes on land at Whittingham Lane, Grimsargh, following the demolition of the existing house, Silver Birches, have been given the go-ahead by city planning officers, as have plans for an amended scheme for Longridge Town Football Club on the outskirts of the town.
The amended scheme for the football club involves land at the side and rear of the Alston Arms on Inglewhite Road – where plans have already been passed – for the erection of a single storey building to provide a changing pavilion, car park and laying out of a junior pitch adjacent to Chipping Road.
Further planning applications dealt with by officers at Preston under delegated powers for this area include:
The removal of a condition on plans passed in l992 which restricted the occupancy of Irelands Farm, Brabiner Lane, Whittingham, to a person solely or mainly employed in the adjoining business for the repair, dismantling, sale and storage of vehicles.
Approval of plans for the erection of a freestanding wind turbine on a 15m high pole at Estoril, Syke House Lane, Goosnargh.
Renewed plans passed for the construction of a new vehicular access to the contractor's office and depot and closure of the existing access to vehicular traffic at Withy Trees Farm, Cumeragh Lane, Whittingham.
Retrospective plans for the erection of a steel framed domestic storage building at Blundell Brook Farm, Cumeragh Lane, Whittingham being withdrawn, but retrospective plans for the change of use of existing poultry cabins for the storage of tractors, parts and related equipment-plant to be used in conjunction with the existing agricultural engineering business at the farm being passed.
Plans passed for the construction of a menage, erection of a new building and conversion of an existing storage building to stables, tack room and store room for livery purposes, following demolition of an existing building and alteration to the existing access.
The Green Man at Inglewhite being given permission for a fascia sign, hanging sign and painted logo, amenity board, menu box to front and two surface-mounted signs and painted logos to gables, externally illuminated by trough light, floodlights and downlights.
Plans passed for a two-storey extension at the rear of 43 Whittingham Lane, Broughton.
Plans refused for alterations to the existing detached garage and workshop at Higher Trotter Hill, Button Street, Whitechapel, to form a private dwelling.

Yesterday's snowstorm forced McMurry University's women's basketball team to wait an extra day to take on Oklahoma Panhandle State University, but it proved worth the wait, in an 81-67 road rout. The War Hawks improved to 10-13, while the Aggies fell to 4-19.
McM led wire-to-wire in moving into the double-digit column in victories. The War Hawks' team shot a blistering 61 percent from the field (28-46) for the game, including converting 50 percent (4-of-8) from beyond the arc. The team was 21-of-26 (81 percent) from the free throw stripe.
The win by McMurry also gave head coach Dr. Veronica Snow's team its third season-series sweep of a Heartland Conference team (also taking two this year from both St. Edward's University and Texas A&M-International University previously).
But the real different came in the rebounds category, where McMurry was very “Windex-like,” cleaning off the glass by a margin of 34-to-17 more caroms than the Aggies.
McM also dominated the inside game with a 30-14 advantage for points in the paint. Likewise, the War Hawks held a 12-5 cushion on second chance scoring. The Aggies forced McMurry into 24 turnovers (compared to their 16 miscues), converting those into nearly a third of their offense (22 points) in the game.
In the opening period, McMurry looked anything but cold after being confined by the snow in Goodwell, scoring the first six points of the ball game and leading 8-2 on a Tory Salazar jumper at the 17:34 mark.
OPSU would tally the next two buckets to cut the War Hawks' lead to 8-7. However, that's as close as the host Aggies would be the rest of the afternoon.
By the 9:14 mark of the first half, McM had a double-digit lead – 24-14 – after Rikeita Thomas canned a pair of free throws. The visitors kept their foot on the gas the balance of the period, eventually putting OPSU in their rear-view mirror by 21 points at the intermission, 45-24.
McMurry held serve in the second half, with all 13 of the War Hawks' roster players scoring in the game and playing at least six minutes (10 players with double-digit minute totals). The Aggies never got closer than 14 points to McMurry in the final 20-minute segment.
Thomas and Collins had 16 points each to lead McMurry's efforts. Wilson and Bridget Dorn each added 11 points. Thomas, a point guard, also topped the team in rebounds with eight and assists with four.
Collins corralled seven boards and had a blocked shot. She hit 7-of-10 from the field.
The War Hawks will play back-to-back games for the first time this season since late November (at the West Texas A&M tournament), when they face UT-Permian Basin on Saturday. Tip-off is slated for 2 p.m. in Odessa.

When you’re cramped and uncomfortable in an airplane seat, a five-hour journey can feel like an eternity. However, a 23-year-old innovator is on a mission to change that. Alejandro Núñez Vicente, a visionary from Madrid, has designed a two-story airplane seat that offers more legroom.
More Space for Reclining the Seat
The Chaise Longue Economy Seat is set to redefine the way we fly. With this innovative design, passengers can fully stretch their legs and recline at an impressive 125-degree angle. You could be able to almost ‘lie down’ during your flight. This 6-foot-2-inch seat is specifically designed to fit any intermediate aisle, ensuring that passengers can enjoy space without compromising the comfort of those behind them.
Also, the seat panel cleverly conceals itself within the structure, allowing for effortless entry and exit. Say goodbye to awkward confrontations and hello to a more relaxed and enjoyable journey.
The Upper Deck Experience
For those seeking an elevated experience, the upper row of this two-story seat offers a unique advantage. Accessible by climbing two steps, this row provides passengers with the same 125-degree recline angle, granting more space and a sense of privacy.
From Concept to Recognition
Vicente’s passion for innovation led him to build the first prototype of this seat by hand, using a pile of planks. Since then, it has caught the attention of industry giants, including Sir Tim Clark, the president of Emirates airline.
Lately, AIRE, a Spanish company specializing in aircraft interiors, sponsored the third prototype showcased at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg. Thanks to this exposure, several leading aviation companies have expressed interest in integrating his ideas into their aircraft.
The Chaise Longue Economy Seat has the potential to transform the travel experience for passengers, providing comfort without sacrificing capacity. With the support and growing interest from key players in the aviation sector, this invention is poised to make a significant impact on the aeronautical industry, allowing us to experience air travel like never before.

An Innovative Public-Private Approach that is Saving Lives Now and Building Capacity
On June 11th at Mulago Hospital in Kampala, Uganda, six children and their parents rang the survivor bell of the new pediatric cancer ward to mark the end of their cancer treatment. Until recently, these halls were quiet. Children with cancer in Uganda, like much of Africa, face a devastating prognosis. Of the 100,000 children in Sub-Saharan Africa that develop cancer each year, 90% will die. This enormous health disparity can be explained by the critically low availability of anti-cancer medicines and an inadequate healthcare infrastructure necessary to support the complex and multidisciplinary care pediatric cancer requires. Most striking, there is a near-complete absence of trained pediatric hematology-oncology specialists in Africa. Fortunately, efforts are being made to change this reality.
In February 2017, Texas Children’s Hospital launched Global HOPE in partnership with local Ministries of Health to transform childhood cancer care across Sub-Saharan Africa. Global HOPE – initiated with a historic $50 million commitment from the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation – operates in Botswana, Malawi, and Uganda and is expanding rapidly in six other African countries.
The approach is simple and scalable. Global HOPE is applying the lessons its’ parent organization BIPAI, the Baylor International Pediatric Aids Initiative, learned in successfully combating HIV/AIDS in Africa, building local capacity and strengthening the healthcare system infrastructure. Global HOPE’s training occurs in Centers of Excellence that emphasize patient centered, multi-disciplinary care. Its’ comprehensive strategy involves training doctors and nurses, improving access to anti-cancer drugs, developing state-of-the-art facilities, and raising awareness among local communities and beyond.
“The results speak for themselves,” explained Dr. David G. Poplack, Director of Global HOPE. “In the first twelve months, we’ve treated more than 2,000 children across three countries, and we’ve observed a significant increase in early survival rates.” In Uganda, prior to Global HOPE, over 70% of children diagnosed with cancer died or abandoned cared within 1 month. Since Global HOPE, the data shows significant improvement with over 85% of children surviving one month and 55% surviving for over 1 year. One of the program’s most important milestones was establishing the first pediatric hematology-oncology fellowship training program in East Africa. The director of this program, Ugandan physician, Dr. Joseph Lubega, remarked, “We will be graduating the first class of fellows on August 9th. With ten more fellows in the pipeline, we’re on target for tripling the number of childhood cancer specialists in East Africa by 2020.”
Alongside education, training, and treatment, an equally impressive effort to forge partnerships is required to sustain Global HOPE’s mission and work long-term. Global HOPE is in the process of establishing an International Council, comprised largely of global healthcare experts and child health advocates, and is engaging with businesses, philanthropists, and government officials in key markets in the United States, Africa, and around the world.
Global HOPE is encouraged by the effect of its outreach. “Everywhere we have gone, the response has been tremendous,” exclaimed Jeff Richardson, Former Vice President of the AbbVie Foundation and member of the Global HOPE Executive Committee. “From Houston to New York, Washington D.C. to Chicago, and throughout Africa, local business leaders and families are committed to helping us beat childhood cancer.”

Sony with the motive of developing Internet of Things (IoT) devices to the healthcare market has collaborated with Ericsson and Norwegian telecommunications company Telenor. All the three companies will launch their own devices, Sony will offer the sensors which uses Visilion advanced tracking solution and Ericsson will provide its IoT Accelerator platform which aids businesses build network and manage innumerable devices while Telenor will supply SIM cards and networking tools which works globally.
While the collaboration is for the healthcare industry, Sony said that its tracking solution is not limited to any industry. Its solution can be employed by other industries including cargo tracking or search and rescue missions.
Healthcare industry can use the platform as a location tool for valuable equipments like ECG machines and beds, while also providing real-time indoor geolocations of staff and patients.
The sensors can easily balance between different cellular standards which includes 2G, 3G, 4G, NB-IoT, and Cat-M1, qualifying businesses in all parts of the world.
“As the use of cellular technology matures, this can have a positive impact on the future of mobile health services and the safety and welfare of end-users,” said Anders Strömberg, head of wearables at Sony Network Communications Europe.

North Sea nephrops fishery faces big challenges and needs new management strategies
The nephrops fleet in the North Sea faces big challenges due to the expansion of offshore wind farms (OWFs), newly implemented marine protected areas (MPAs) and Brexit.
A new study called “The uncertain future of the Norway lobster fisheries in the North Sea calls for new management strategies” published in the ICES Journal of Marine Science has examined conditions affecting the future of the fisheries for the German fleet.
The Norway lobster/Nephrops constitutes an important pillar of European fisheries generating a value of €107m, making it the 2nd most valuable landed shellfish species in the North Sea and Eastern Arctic region in 2018. Since the start of commercial exploitation of nephrops in the 1950s, the fishery grew substantially in the Celtic and North Sea, which are still the main nephrops catch areas. The main fishing nations are the United Kingdom, Denmark, Ireland, and the Netherlands (EUMOFA, 2019). Several other nations, including Germany, represent minor actors in the international nephrops fishery. The study claims that the German nephrops fishery presents an interesting case study, as it emerged relatively recently.
Nephrops is a commercially important species in the German fisheries. The report says that whether the fishery can be maintained or even expended depends on several aspects. Activities of the German nephrops fishery almost completely coincided spatially over time, underpinning the strong habitat requirements of nephrops. On the other hand, this highlights the vulnerability of the fishery, since, as it is the case for the target species itself, the fishery cannot move to alternative fishing grounds. In combination with the newly implemented OWFs and Natura 2000 sites, this will lead to substantial constraints of the German nephrops fishery in the next few decades.
Results from the study confirm earlier studies showing that nephrops stocks have been fished above scientific advice. Present OWFs and MPAs marginally overlap with nephrops fishing grounds, whereas German fishing grounds are covered up to 45% in future scenarios. Co-use strategies with OWFs could mitigate the loss of fishing opportunities. Decreased cod quotas due to Brexit and worse stock conditions, lowers Germany’s capability to swap nephrops quotas with the UK.
The conclusion of the report states:
“Our results point to an exhaustion of the North Sea nephrops fishing capacities, supporting the call for a precautionary and well-defined management for nephrops, including individual regulations for stocks. Further ecological and fisheries research is needed to develop accurate stock assessments and explore the consequences of climate change on North Sea nephrops. While the current and future spatial restrictions in most nephrops fishing grounds in the North Sea are marginal overall, those in the German Bight will face a loss of up to almost 45% due to OWF expansion and fisheries regulations related to Natura 2000 sites. Co-location of OWF and fisheries including a switch to passive and more selective fishing gears could mitigate the loss of fishing opportunities and sustain fishers’ livelihoods.
“Although the Brexit will not influence nephrops quota distribution in the North Sea, cutbacks of other species TACs might reduce the swapping capacities of countries to acquire nephrops quota from the UK. In the case of Germany, decreased cod quotas, will lower the ability to obtain nephrops quota.
“Furthermore, our findings indicate that German fishers switched to nephrops because of its high economic value and the declining availability of other former target species in the German Bight. Overall, in this study we analysed the various influences on international and German nephrops fisheries from different angles. Our study highlights the need for cumulative impact assessments to understand historic developments in fisheries and to judge on upcoming risks. Only with this knowledge target-oriented mitigation measures may be recommended.”

Many working professionals are stuck in a sedentary desk job and have been typing on the keyboard for hours. Limited free time leads to decreased athletic performance and causes weight gain. Good news for those who live a sedentary life but want to lose excess fat. Black coffee helps induce weight loss. However, the impact may not be long-term.
Coffee contains biologically active compounds such as chlorogenic acid, caffeine, trigonelline and magnesium. Such compounds help weight loss, as pointed out in studies on coffee intake and obesity.
The study also noted that men tend to be overweight than women, so they enjoy the greatest benefits of coffee consumption.
Coffee contains a limited amount of calories and zero fat. The best coffee brew for anyone who wants to lose weight would be to blacken it. Many people like to add sugar, milk and cream to their coffee. These additives are high in calories as well as fat and increase weight rather than lose weight.
Lower blood sugar
Obesity promotes the development of type 2 diabetes in adults as well as children. Our blood sugar levels increase excessively. One study found that chlorogenic acid in black coffee slows glucose absorption and promotes healthy insulin levels.
Most people who work at the desk and have to wake up at night for deadlines can’t do without regular caffeine boosts. Too much caffeine can cause addiction, but nervous system stimulants can also help with weight loss. According to a study published in Springer Link, caffeine affects the oxidation of fat cells through its effects on the nervous system.
People who drink black coffee regularly say it significantly reduces their appetite. These effects help reduce calorie buildup and lose weight.
However, another study suggests that the effect of caffeine on appetite is temporary and weak. Therefore, the effect of coffee on weight may also be temporary.
Black coffee can certainly burn fat, but we can conclude that it is a limited method.

I bought this pattern at Sydney’s bi-annual Love Vintage fabric and fashion fair. It was a little more pricey than I planned to pay for a single pattern, but that neckline was too nice to pass up, and the tied front is lovely, too. I found the fabric at a market for $2 about a year ago, and lad been waiting for the right vintagey top to make with it. The fabric is very soft so it drapes beautifully as well.
The blouse was very easy to make – it’s one large piece, one facing, and four pieces for the ties. No shoulder seams, no sleeves to set, and the hem is just finished with bias binding. One of the simplest tops I’ve ever made!

Sharda Motor Industries Limited (NSEI:SHARDA), a ₹11.74B small-cap, is an automobile company operating in an industry which is a major consumer of key commodities such as copper and steel, making the car manufacturers and suppliers significant players in the global economy. Upcoming challenges facing the sector is navigating the path from current automobile models to driverless cars, requiring high capital outlays in emerging technology. The limitation of automobile incumbents is an opportunity for tech giants such as Apple and Google to develop their own software components behind networking, autonomous and communication capabilities of automobiles. Automobile analysts are forecasting for the entire industry, a positive double-digit growth of 14.22% in the upcoming year . Is the automobile industry an attractive sector-play right now? In this article, I’ll take you through the automobile sector growth expectations, as well as evaluate whether Sharda Motor Industries is lagging or leading its competitors in the industry. View our latest analysis for Sharda Motor Industries
What’s the catalyst for Sharda Motor Industries’s sector growth?
The growing presence in the auto industry of technology firms incontrovertible. In the next decade, software integration will likely have a significant impact on the auto industry, given the alignment of their expertise – they are proficient at seamlessly connecting components to create networks valued by consumers for the information, efficiencies, and experiences they deliver. Over the past year, the industry saw growth in the teens, though still underperforming the wider Indian stock market. Sharda Motor Industries leads the pack with its impressive earnings growth of 69.05% over the past year. Furthermore, analysts are expecting this trend of above-industry growth to continue, with Sharda Motor Industries poised to deliver a 28.28% growth over the next couple of years compared to the industry’s 14.22%. This growth may make Sharda Motor Industries a more expensive stock relative to its peers.
Is Sharda Motor Industries and the sector relatively cheap?
Automobile companies are typically trading at a PE of 28.41x, in-line with the Indian stock market PE of 24.18x. This means the industry, on average, is fairly valued compared to the wider market – minimal expected gains and losses from mispricing here. However, the industry returned a higher 12.81% compared to the market’s 9.68%, potentially illustrative of a turnaround. On the stock-level, Sharda Motor Industries is trading at a lower PE ratio of 19.68x, making it cheaper than the average automobile stock. In terms of returns, Sharda Motor Industries generated 19.76% in the past year, which is 6.95% over the automobile sector.
Next Steps:Sharda Motor Industries’s industry-beating future is a positive for shareholders, indicating they’ve backed a fast-growing horse. In addition to this, its PE is below its automobile peers, suggesting it is also trading at a relatively cheaper price. Perhaps the market hasn’t fully accounted for the growth, meaning now may be the right time to accumulate more of, or enter into, the stock. However, before you make a decision on the stock, I suggest you look at Sharda Motor Industries’s fundamentals in order to build a holistic investment thesis.

The city of Quincy received five bids to purchase and redevelop the shuttered Central Middle School at 1022 Hancock St.
Quincy will choose a developer this summer based on price, responsiveness to “green” design objectives, construction experience, good standing in the industry and the financial stability to complete the project, said Christopher Walker, a spokesman for Mayor Thomas Koch. The three-story, brick school was built in 1890 but has been vacant since October 2013.
Last month, Quincy’s purchasing department issued a Request for Proposals to acquire and repurpose the 59,490-square-foot building with the construction of apartments or condominiums.
The developers that submitted bids are:
- Urban Edge Housing Corp., of Roxbury and South Shore Star in Weymouth. The bid for $2.4 million proposes 38 units of affordable housing, would maintain the building’s exterior, and provide space for non-profit South Shore Stars on lower floors.
- Edgewood Development Co., Plainville. The $3 million bid proposes 39 condominiums and to maintain the building's exterior.
- Hal Marsh Associates and the Edmund Quincy Towers Team of Quincy. The $1.1 million bid proposes to demolish the school and replace it with a pair of 13-story residential towers with 400 units and ground floor retail/restaurant space.
- Jay Cashman and Conroy Development of Quincy. The $1.5 million bid proposes 45 units of housing while keeping the existing building.
- Boston Property Development of Quincy. The $1.8 million bid proposes 54 units of housing while maintaining the existing building.

Hair, Fashion, Life… of a Fort Collins Hair Stylist
Mirror Mirror on the Wall…
A collaboration of raw passion, artistry, and creative hair design. The motive behind my work is inspired by a consistent education of the ever-changing fashion of today which I gain from some of the most influential stylists in the industry. I desire to use my creativity and ideas with your styling habits to produce hair designs that will flatter your look and personality. Because at the end of the day, you deserve to feel
…The Fairest Of All.
A few facts about Carly the hair stylist and the Carly outside of scissors, combs and curling irons…
It all started when I was a baby-playing in a playpen next to my mom while she did hair in the salon she made in our basement. From the very beginning of my life I got to see the ins and outs of hair, whether that be the art of creating beautiful hair or the art of building friendships and watching them grow. (although as a baby I probably just ate the hair off the floor, not really paying attention to the masterpieces my mother was making) I attempted college for a little while, not sure what I would be interested in studying. It wasn’t until I decided to step out of the mainstream world and jump into beauty school head first that I realized hair would be one of the biggest loves of my life. To this day I still enjoy taking coloring & cutting classes, learning about the latest products, and meeting new stylists that are traveling from all around the world sharing their stories. I love the ladies I work with and the opportunity to meet new people on a daily basis!
Even though hair is my life, there are some great aspects to my everyday that I couldn’t live without. For those of you that don’t know me, I absolutely LOVE cats. Yes I know some of you may find that disgraceful if you do not like cats (those of you who feel that way, we will have to talk if our paths ever cross) but I also love the company of animals. I have two cats and the cutest dog you have ever seen. Oh and she is the best frisbee catcher around! I recently moved to Fort Collins in January, after marrying my best friend Rafe. He is currently a grad student at CSU, which is what brought me to this lovely town. I love reading and the change of the seasons. The best part about being me…..I have the best family a girl could have. My happiness is due almost entirely to the people I am surrounded by.
If I don’t know you already, I hope I get the chance to meet you and hear your story.

Trips, Tours and Expeditions
All of our trips, tours and expeditions are designed to be an extension of the classroom, playing fields, stage or studio, encapsulating our distinctive model of whole person education - Floreat - through venturing outside of the traditional learning environment.
We are fortunate that Shrewsbury’s idyllic location allows our pupils to immerse themselves in the stunning and ever-changing landscape with the River Severn, Shropshire Hills and Wales on the doorstep of the School.
Beyond our rural setting, we have a central location that allows us to easily travel further afield to take in all of the learning opportunities that the UK has to offer. Whether it’s the Royal Shrewsbury School Hunt running in the hills of Scotland, or BASE pupils diving in Dosthill, we travel the length and breadth of the country to allow our students to experience new challenges in inspiring environments.
Our trips know no boundaries and we regularly arrange overseas excursions to complement the extensive programme of activities that we offer at Shrewsbury, taking pupils out of their comfort zones as they experience the different cultures, adventures and possibilities the world has to offer.
Dedicated Head of Adventure
In September 2021, we were delighted to announce the appointment of Mr Tom Folker as our very first Head of Adventure at Shrewsbury School.
Formally a senior outdoor instructor at a school near Auckland, New Zealand, Tom has over 14 years of experience in outdoor education including working at both Abbotsholme School and Marlborough College in the UK, alongside time spent delivering outdoor education programs for a number of organisations across the UK including the Girl Guides.
"I was excited to join Shrewsbury School with its enviable history of exploration and adventure. I look forward to continuing to develop this history by opening up new and more varied opportunities for the students of Shrewsbury School to learn outdoors, try new adventurous activities and undertake expeditions, utilising the mountains, hills and rivers that surround the school and the school's bunkhouse in North Wales, as well as other venues in the UK and indeed around the world."

Talargerwyn (known affectionately as 'Tally') is Shrewsbury's cottage deep in the midst of Snowdonia. Set on Forestry Commission land, far from the hustle and bustle of modern life, it offers a base for hill walking, or simply an excellent location for a weekend escape. It is often used by house groups for a weekend away, mostly for first years, but is also used by different interest groups within the School.


One of the most notable physical properties of pure indium is how soft it is. At many of the trade shows I have attended for Indium Corporation, we bring a rod or ingot of pure indium - simply because it is incredible for our visitors to handle a metal that is so soft. It’s not uncommon to see a smile from someone who has never handled indium before, as they bend a rod or ingot with their bare hands – a feat that would be unthinkable for common metals like steel or copper or aluminum.
There are uncountable uses for a metal as soft as indium; one blog post could not do the topic justice. Let’s pick just one way you could use this property of indium to your advantage: sealing.
Indium wire is a very common material for sealing applications. Indium wire is cut to length, formed into an o-ring, and then used as a seal. Because it is soft, the metal can flow in the seating groove and conform to any irregularities in the mating surfaces. This principle and property was used when NASA captured moon rock samples and returned them to Earth. They weren't sure what else they might be bringing home with them, so they decided to seal the entire sample hermetically, using indium, until they could open the samples in a secure environment.
I’m sure you can come up with a handful of similar ideas for the use of a soft metal. If you need help using indium in your application, please let us know how we can help.
This post is part of the “6 Strange Properties of Indium” series.

Flag Day 2013
According to reports, in 1776, George Washington commissioned Philadelphia seamstress Betsy Ross to create a flag for the newly formed nation. At present, there have been twenty-seven official versions of the flag, but the arrangement of the stars varied according to the flag-makers' preferences until 1912 when President Taft standardized the then-new flag's forty-eight stars into six rows of eight. The current version of the flag dates to July 4, 1960, after Hawaii became the 50th state.
The Commonwealth also happens to be home to one of the longest-running Flag Day parades. Since its inception in 1952, the Flag Day parade is held annually in Quincy, Massachusetts. This year the parade celebrates its 62nd anniversary.
