While there are many women in the bible that are well-known and remembered for their roles and significance in God’s story, there are also several unnamed women whose stories have left us with valuable lessons and lasting impact.
You will probably always remember the story of Sarah, the woman who bore a child in her old age. Or the story of Hannah and how she fulfilled her vow to God after her struggle with barrenness.
But there are also numerous women in the bible whose stories have introduced them to us. Their unique stories unveil them showing us their pains, struggles, weaknesses, faith and how they overcame. And one unique thing about these women was that they had something that revealed them. It was either their situation, predicament or where they were from.
One of these women was caught in the act of adultery. Talk about how you are introduced to the world. Another one of such unnamed women in the bible was a reputable sinner in the city. There was one who had an issue of unending blood flow for twelve long years.
Another of these nameless women in the bible was of a Canaanite woman with a family problem. And there was one who had an infirmity that had lasted for 18 long years. Lest I forget the woman at the well had been through several failed marriages and currently had a live-in lover when she came face to face with Jesus.
We often remember and identify with these women through their stories, and God chooses to reveal them to us through their different situations and circumstances. Their identity will always remain anonymous to us, however God shows us that each of these women matter and have a plan and purpose in his story.
Some Unnamed Women in the Bible
1. The Woman with the Issue of Blood (Mark 5:25-34)
I have often tried to imagine how this woman was able to touch the hem of Jesus garment in a pressing crowd. We all know how easy it is to get lost in a mammoth crowd. But not this woman who had bled continuously for 12 long years. Her mind was made up and her miracle of healing was sure if only she could touch the hem of Jesus garment. Though unnamed, her story points us to the power of faith and the compassion of Jesus.
2. The Poor Widow who gave all she had (Mark 12:41-44)
In this passage, Jesus observes how a poor widow gives two small coins as an offering in the temple. This woman’s action caught Jesus’s attention and he uses her story to teach us about giving. Although her name is not mentioned, Jesus praises her action and points out that her small gift is more significant than those who gave larger offerings.
3. The Woman Caught in Adultery (John 8:1-11)
In this story, a woman is caught in the act of adultery, brought before Jesus by the Pharisees and about to be stoned to death. Her life was about to end but a chance encounter with Jesus changes the entire trajectory of her story. Mercy prevails over judgement and the compassion of Jesus revealed.
4. Lot’s Wife (Genesis 19:26)
This woman known to us as Lot’s wife is not named in the Bible. But her story is well-known and teaches us about the consequences of disobedience. As God’s judgement came upon the city of Sodom & Gomorrah, he commanded Lot and his family not to look back at the burning city as they fled. This woman disobeyed God’s command by looking back God and was instantly turned into a pillar of salt.
These are just a few examples of these nameless women in the bible. Their names maybe unknown, but their stories teach us important lessons and perspectives about faith, hope, courage, disobedience, mercy and God’s love. Their stories have left deep impressions in the souls of many and will continue to impact generations.
This week, I am introducing this new series tagged – Unnamed Women in the Bible. Join me over the next few weeks as I delve deep into the lives of these women, their unique stories and lessons we can learn from their lives.
I am encouraged knowing that even when you seem lost, weak, broken and helpless, God is still in the business of rewriting the story of our lives.
You have been chosen by God and your story is an important part of God’s story. You matter to God, and he wants to use your story to make a difference in the world. Every part, piece and fragment of your story matters because God has always been in the story.
Will you join me as we learn from these unnamed women in the bible?

Missing Lily is a YA princess tale about the youngest of seven sisters who is caught in a difficult situation when she falls in love with a man whom she later discovers is betrothed. Princess Lylin is actually the sister of Ella, the main character in Just Ella, Larsen's first novel, which I couldn't put down. (My review of Just Ella.)
Although I enjoyed this novel too, it didn't have the same effect on me as the author's first novel, where the romantic tension was taut and Gavin was swoon-worthy. I didn't feel this with this novel, and actually felt it dragged at times.
I did like the storyline and the plot, and I also enjoyed some of the characters. Lylin spoke her mind and was forthright, and Rhys started out strong but became weak in my eyes when he just accepted his situation and was not honest with himself and did not seem to try hard enough to rectify the situation. His brother played a key role in the novel, but only came across as a sneering man with a bad temper. I would have liked his backstory, why he and Rhys were at such great odds. There was obviously much more to him for a certain noble woman to have fallen in love with him, yet this was not explored at all. His character was not well-developed and felt more like a nuisance when in fact he is the one that propelled things to happen.
Lylin is part of a royal family and in the first novel, this family is formidable, especially the king. In this novel, they came across as weak, almost inconsequential, not really important to the plot at all, when they should have been, in my opinion.
So overall, this was a cute novel, with a clean romance, but lacks what the first novel had. I like the book cover though, which depicts well the story. Would I read another novel by Larsen? Definitely. She has a way of transporting me to a fairy tale world and provides the perfect escapism reading.

My books are about women who face hard choices, who face pain and rejection and often have to face the reality of sacrificing what they want for what is right. The consequences are often difficult or unpleasant, but in the end, doing what’s right will always be worth it. I believe there is no substitute for good writing or good chocolate. Fortunately, one often leads to the other.
Note: This book is rated C = clean read.

FT MYERS, Fla. — Two Razorback women’s tennis players continued their strong start to the 2010 spring season on Sunday by advancing to the finals in their respective flights at the Florida Gulf Coast Invite in Ft. Myers, Fla. Sophomores Fernanda Perrotta and Stephanie Roy each remained undefeated in singles play and will play in the finals of their flights on Monday.
“Once again today we executed well,” said head coach Michael Hegarty. “For this early in the spring season today’s performances were encouraging”
In only her second match as a Razorback, Perrotta soundly defeated Maria Christensen of Missouri in straight sets 6-2, 6-3 to earn the opportunity to play in the final match against Angelika Jogasuria of Akron for flight six.
Over in flight 3, after falling behind in the first set 3-6, Roy won the next two sets, 6-1, 10-7, to defeat her opponent, Bhavani Tirumurti of Purdue. Roy will play the final match of her flight against Melanie Aguirre of UNF on Monday.
In doubles play, Roy and Perrotta advanced to the finals of the consolation bracket by way of an injury default suffered by Mallory Weber and Jamie Mera of Missouri.
The final day of play will start Monday, Jan. 18, with doubles play at 8 a.m. and singles play to immediately follow.
Day 2 Complete Results
Roy (ARK) def. Tirumurti (Purdue) 3-6, 6-1, 10-7

In her first campaign appearance in months, the former Alaska governor, who attended the third and final debate as a guest of the GOP nominee, made a brief appearance in the spin room. There, she was asked about Trump’s noncommittal answer on whether he would accept the election results if he loses. “Hey, if they are legit results, then of course they will be accepted,” Palin said.
A Gallup poll released Wednesday showed that support for making marijuana legal in the United States has reached 60 percent — higher than it has ever been since Gallup first started asking this question in 1969, when only 12 percent of Americans supported legalization. A majority of Americans supported legalization for the first time in 2013, after Washington and Colorado legalized the drug for recreational use. During the past decade, support for legalization has increased in most subgroups, but it is still much higher among people between ages 18 and 34 (77 percent), Democrats (67 percent) and independents (70 percent) than people 55 or older (45 percent) and Republicans (42 percent).
According to a new study, funded by Google and conducted by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, American drivers tend to underreport accidents by a rather drastic margin. Furthering their case that American drivers crash more than they admit to, the team cited a federal study in which thousands of drivers agreed to give researchers access to in-car camera footage from their vehicles. In California, for example, every accident involving a self-driving car must be reported, as Google has come to know rather well; in addition, the extreme interest in autonomous vehicle safety means plenty of attention is paid to any accident.
Super Typhoon Haima slammed into the northeastern Philippine coast late Wednesday with ferocious winds and rain that rekindled fears and memories from the catastrophe wrought by Typhoon Haiyan in 2013. Haima, which has sustained winds of 225 kilometers (140 miles) per hour and gusts of up to 315 kph (195 mph), made landfall at Penablanca town in Cagayan province shortly before midnight, weather officials said. "We can't go out because the wind is so intense, trees are being forced down," Councilor Elisa Arugay told DZMM radio from Camasi village in Penablanca.
By Felix Onuah ABUJA (Reuters) - Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday told a group of 21 girls released by Islamist militants last week that he will "redouble" efforts to bring home about 200 still missing after the kidnapping in Chibok in 2014. About 270 girls were seized at their school in northeastern Borno state, where Boko Haram has waged a seven-year insurgency, killing thousands of people and displacing more than 2 million. "We shall redouble our efforts to bring the rest back home," Buhari said.
Jihadist leaders are fleeing Mosul, a top US general in the coalition battling the Islamic State group said Wednesday as Iraqi forces closed in on the northern city. Mosul was where IS supremo Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi declared his "caliphate" two years ago but is now the group's last major stronghold in Iraq. In the biggest Iraqi military operation in years, forces have retaken dozens of villages, mostly south and east of Mosul, and are planning multiple assaults for Thursday.

Today on Drive Wire: The Audi R8 could be marked for death, as a result of cost-cutting measures in the wake of the Dieselgate scandal. Citing a report from German magazine Der Spiegel, Britain’s Autocar is claiming that the R8 may be killed off as Audi’s parent company, the Volkswagen Group, looks for ways to cut down on spending as it simultaneously pays off diesel emissions cheating-related settlements and pushes deeply into electric vehicles and futuristic mobility. The loss of its iconic supercar isn’t the only big cut Audi may be facing.
While the death sentence serves as proof to some that even the ruling elites are subject to Saudi Arabian law, which is based on Islamic holy texts, the punishment is also part of a surge in executions that international human rights groups have condemned. Prince Turki bin Saud al-Kabeer, one of the royal family's estimated thousands of members, pleaded guilty to shooting a fellow Saudi man following a brawl, the ministry of the interior said.

One of the early clashes between the candidates in the final debate was over so-called partial-birth abortion — an abortion procedure that is sometimes performed later in pregnancy that Hillary Clinton has said should remain legal and that Donald Trump opposes. After saying he would appoint pro-life justices to the Supreme Court on the assumption that they would overturn Roe v. Wade, Trump said: “I think it’s terrible in the ninth month you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb of the mother just prior to the birth of the baby. Clinton responded that this was a misinterpretation of how late-term abortion works.

The French government said on Wednesday it would come down hard on anti-police violence after officers staged a second night of protests over recent attacks on police and what they see as insufficient resources. Unions say a surge in criminal gang activity and militant attacks has put extra strains on police. On Tuesday night, dozens of police cars, roof lights flashing, drove in convoy down Paris's Champs Elysees to vent their fear over their own safety.
Scientists in Tennessee have accidentally discovered a method to convert carbon dioxide, one of the most serious causes of climate change, into ethanol for use as a fuel for internal-combustion motors. “We discovered somewhat by accident that this material worked,” said Adam Rondinone, an author on the research group's study journal, in a press release. Researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory found that by putting copper and carbon together to create nanospikes on silicon, exposing the matter to carbon dioxide dissolved in water, and electrifying it, the solution was transformed into a surprisingly-highly-concentrated blend of ethanol.
The powerful former speaker of Brazil's lower house who spearheaded the ouster of President Dilma Rousseff was arrested Wednesday as part of a sprawling graft probe involving state oil giant Petrobras. Federal deputy Eduardo Cunha, who until recently was a key ally of new President Michel Temer, is accused of corruption, money laundering and tax evasion related to an oilfield purchase that Petrobras made in 2011 in the west African nation of Benin, among a series of other charges. Prosecutors said in a statement that they requested Cunha's detention on the grounds that he represented a threat to the integrity of the investigation and was a flight risk.
Two Americans including a civilian were killed when a gunman opened fire near a NATO base in Kabul Wednesday, the military coalition said, with Afghan officials calling it an "insider attack". No insurgent group has so far claimed responsibility for the attack, which highlights growing insecurity in Afghanistan as the Taliban step up their nationwide insurgency. "One US service member and one US civilian died as a result of wounds sustained in Kabul today," NATO said in a statement, adding that three other Americans were wounded in the incident.
Scientists working at MIT's Alcator C-Mod experimental fusion reactor have broken the world record for fusion pressure. Nuclear fusion power has long been sought as an alternative to current energy sources, but the extreme conditions required for it to work have made efficient fusion power impossible to obtain. Fusion reactions are the power source that fuels the Sun, and the only way fusion power can reliably work is in high-pressure and high-temperature environments like the Sun's core.

A federal judge on Thursday ordered Virginia to reopen its voter registration window and allow residents to continue to sign up through midnight Friday, after its online registration portal was unavailable to many users earlier this week. U.S. District Judge Claude Hilton's order came in response to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday by the activist New Virginia Education Fund, which complained that the state's online voter registration portal had worked erratically in the days leading up to the state's initial Monday deadline to register. Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe this year restored the right to vote to thousands of ex-felons, a move seen as potentially tipping what had been a traditional Republican stronghold in Democrats' favor.
By Maria Sheahan DARMSTADT, Germany (Reuters) - A European space lander reached Mars on Wednesday in what scientists hope will mark a major milestone in exploration of the Red Planet, but whether it touched down on the surface in good working condition was far from certain. Older European and U.S. spacecraft already in orbit relayed data of the lander's six-minute descent. Then the transmission stopped, leaving questions over what state the disc-shaped 577-kg (1,272 lb) Schiaparelli probe was in.
A sheriff's deputy shot dead in rural northern California was killed by a man listed in state records as a registered sex offender shortly after the deputy arrived at a home to investigate a domestic disturbance, authorities said Thursday. Deputy Jack Hopkins, 31, died instantly Wednesday morning and the suspect, Jack Lee Breiner, was arrested after a chase and shootout with another officer that left both wounded, the Modoc County Sheriff's Office said in a statement. Hopkins was the fourth California law enforcement officer to die in the line of duty over the last two weeks.
Lebanon's powerful ex-premier Saad Hariri is expected to endorse Hezbollah ally Michel Aoun for president, a post that has been vacant for almost 30 months, a senior politician said Wednesday. Lebanon has been without a president since May 2014 when the mandate of Michel Sleiman expired, amid deep rivalries among Christian and Muslim politicians exacerbated by the conflict in Syria. The assembly is due to convene next week for the 46th time amid high expectations that a president will be elected and that the job will go to Aoun, a Maronite Christian and former army commander.
Two Americans were killed and three wounded in an attack by an Afghan soldier at a military base near Kabul on Wednesday, in what appears to be the first such attack since April 2015, when an Afghan soldier killed an American soldier and wounded two more at the governor’s compound in Jalalabad, Nangarhar. If the shooting is confirmed to be an attack by an Afghan soldier on coalition personnel — also known as “green-on-blue” attack, after the color coding assigned different forces – it would recall a particularly dark period in the 15-year U.S. and NATO effort there where such attacks were commonplace. The attack took place at an ammunition supply point next to an Afghan base in Kabul after U.S. forces arrived for an inspection, Brig. Gen. Charles Cleveland told Foreign Policy on Wednesday.

Neon Retro Arcade offers up a perfect way to step out of the sun and into the neon light for a break from the heat, all while enjoying what makes Old Pasadena so much fun.
Drinks at Ladies and Gentlemen
After a day spent shopping, exploring and gaming, it’s time to get ready for dinner, but before heading out to our restaurant of choice, grab a sultry drink at Ladies and Gentlemen, Pasadena’s premier speakeasy and cocktail lounge. The cocktails at Ladies and Gentlemen are so much more than the standard (think smoking disco ball libations and flaming tableside concoctions). The dedication to craftsmanship, flair and excellence put on display by the bartenders here elevates the pre-dinner cocktail experience to a whole new level. The bartenders take their craft so seriously that they dress like chefs! Saying any more would spoil certain elements of the experience, but trust us when we say that Ladies and Gentlemen offers up an unrivaled sipping experience.
Dinner at Bone Kettle
After a few pre-dinner aperitifs courtesy of Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s time to make your way to one of Pasadena’s most adored restaurants: Bone Kettle. Here, Chef Erwin Tjahyadi has dedicated himself to bringing quality, authentic Southeast Asian cuisine to the Los Angeles area. Whether you are snacking on some of their decadent ube gnocchi or delving into the warm and rich flavors of their acclaimed nasi goreng, you’re sure to be blown away by the harmonious blend of authenticity, innovation and indulgence. One trip to their serene, wood-paneled dining room and it’s easy to see why Bone Kettle has been praised so highly by some of the area’s biggest culinary connoisseurs.
Dessert at Miss Cheese Tea Cafe

Miss Cheese Tea Cafe serves up quality, hand-crafted desserts and beverages to satiate even the stoutest of sweet tooths. While they specialize in a variety of sweet treats and decadent milk teas, the star of the show is their souffles. Served warm and topped with everything from fresh fruit to syrup drizzles, these fluffy confections are the perfect way to end a couple days spent exploring and enjoying the beautiful and vibrant city of Pasadena.

Posted 30th May 2017
We sit down with Bissell's Dr Pixie McKenna, who tells us exactly why we should be cleaning up after our pets, the most unhygienic thing you could unwittingly be doing, and what to do should your carpet get infected
What are the biggest risks of not cleaning up after your pet?
We’re a nation of animal lovers and enjoy having our pets around the home, however it’s crucial that if our pets make a mess we clean it thoroughly to avoid making family members poorly, especially small children who use the floor as their playground.
Not all germs carried by household pets can impact humans however, there are a number that do. These can be transmitted through a bite, scratch or more commonly though contact with a pet’s saliva, dander (dead skin cells) or waste. For instance, bacterial infections like Campylobacter can be spread through animal faeces and can cause stomach pain and upset, Toxoplasmosis a parasitic infection that is often hosted in cat litter and can cause symptoms from fevers to a sore throat and rash, or the fungal skin infection ringworm which manifests as a red, ring shaped rash.
It’s really shocking to hear that recent research by BISSELL* revealed that a fifth of pet owners don’t wash their carpets especially as 25% admitted to regularly having to clean up urine, vomit and faeces.
What will be the most unhygienic thing pet owners unwittingly do?
Less than half of pets sleep in their own bed with women being the most likely to invite their dog or cat to share theirs*. Pets should have a comfy place of their own to sleep. Just as we humans carry germs, pets can too and inviting them to share your bed can put you at risk of anything from a bacteria or parasitic infection to a virus. If you suffer from allergies these too can be triggered or worsened by contact not just with pet hair but also with their saliva and waste. Of course, many will happily share their bed and enjoy being greeted by a slobbery kiss. However, with that territory should come a realisation that pets are not sterile, and as cute as they are, they can be the potential source of ill health. So, we should take as many precautions as necessary to maintain a deep and meaningful relationship with our pets without challenging our health.
What would you recommend doing if your carpet gets infected?
Although an area may look clean it doesn’t mean that nasty bacteria aren’t lurking beneath the surface. It's not good enough to simply remove the sight and smell of a pet accident. To ensure bacteria and germs are removed you need to carry out a deep clean with a specialist product if you want to avoid the risk of you and your family becoming ill. If you have small children playing on the floor, parasites that live in pet faeces can come into contact with hands, mouths and eyes leading to nasty health implications for your little ones.

Finally Instagram users can share posts without third party apps but the newly launched share is not what the users are dreaming off. Instagram has recently announced an update that will turn the news feed posts into stickers to share inside stories.
This feature from the Instagram allows the photos from the original Instagram share format to also be share inside the new but popular stories even that the photo you share isn’t yours. The post you shared become a sticker but it certainly lacks the like and comment tools from the original Instagram news feed and also displays the user that created the original post.
The new tool is hidden within the send menu, and is accessible by tapping that paper plane icon beneath the image you would like to share. Rather than tapping on a reputation to send an immediate message, tap on the highest choice that says “create a story with this post.”
Shared stickers still have a number of those customisation choices obtainable once sharing an original image to the full-screen sharing kind. Users will modification the background colour and may move, scale, and rotate the dimensions of the shared image.
Last year, leaked screenshots instructed that Instagram began testing a sharing button to share posts while not employing a third-party app like Re-gram. That share button was next to the plane icon and not in it, thus Instagram may still be testing a tool to share to the feed, not Stories.

Houston doesn’t have zoning. As I have written about previously here on the blog, this doesn’t mean nearly as much as you would think. Sure, Houston’s municipal government doesn’t segregate uses or expressly regulate densities. But as my Market Urbanism colleague Michael Lewyn has documented, city officials do regulate lot sizes, setbacks, and parking requirements. They also enforce private deed restrictions, which blanket many of the city’s residential neighborhoods.
A deed restriction is a legal agreement among neighbors about how they can and cannot use their property. In most cities, deed restrictions are purely private and often fairly marginal, adding rules on top of zoning that property owners must follow. But in Houston, deed restrictions do most of the heavy lifting typically covered by zoning, including delineating permissible uses and design standards. Whenever I point out that Houston has relatively light land-use regulations (and is enjoying the benefits), folks often respond that the city’s deed restrictions are basically zoning. This couldn’t be further from the truth.
Before I turn to the essential differences, it’s worth first observing how Houston’s deed restrictions are like any other city’s zoning. First, like zoning, Houston’s deed restrictions are almost universally designed to prop up the values of single-family houses. Despite the weak evidence for a use segregation-property values connection, this justification for zoning goes back to the program’s roots in the 1920s. Many of Houston’s nicest residential neighborhoods, like River Oaks and Tanglewood, follow this line of thinking, enforcing tight deed restrictions on residents that come out looking a lot like zoned neighborhoods in nearby municipalities like Bellaire and Jersey Village.
Second, both zoning and Houston’s deed restrictions are enforced by government officials at taxpayer expense. In most other cities, deed restrictions are overseen and enforced by a private group like a homeowners association, funding enforcement through required HOA fees. But in the aftermath of the failed 1962 referendum to adopt zoning, the Texas state legislature gave Houston the right to publicly enforce deed restrictions. This means that Houston taxpayers pick up the tab to enforce private rules regarding everything from land use to lot sizes. In 2003, these rules were expanded to allow the city to enforce restrictions related to minor issues like landscaping and architecture. In practice, this looks a lot like zoning.
Beyond these superficial similarities, deed restrictions are different from zoning in at least three crucial ways. First, deed restrictions don’t apply to the whole city. Writing in 1972, in his fantastic survey of Houston’s land-use regulations, Bernard Siegan estimates that no more than 25 percent of the city is covered by deed restrictions. Teddy Kapur, writing 30 years later, suggests a similar percentage. We have no real way of checking these estimates, since deed restrictions aren’t compiled in any kind of publicly available GIS format, but this generally comports with other estimates floating around. This is compared to zoning, which regulates 100 percent of urban land, regardless of the needs or preferences of local land users.
Where deed restrictions exist at all, they almost exclusively apply to single-family residential neighborhoods. Industrial areas and townhouses are only occasionally subject to deed restrictions, and commercial corridors and multifamily neighborhoods are almost never subject to them. Vacant land and agricultural land is also almost never subject to deed restrictions, meaning that unlike in zoned cities, this land is free to develop into the use and form most in demand at that particular time and place. In most zoned cities, acres of vacant land sit under-utilized because it’s zoned for uneconomical uses. This difference is important, since it means that policymakers don’t have to make (almost certainly wrong) guesses about the optimal use and density for all lots across all of time. All of this taken together means that nearly of three quarters of the Houston urban landscape isn’t subject to anything remotely resembling zoning and is free to change and adapt over time.
Second, deed restrictions are designed and initially implemented by people with the information and incentives to get the regulations right. Land-use regulation is, at its heart, a knowledge problem: how do we regulate, to what extent, and where? Unlike the zoning commissions or planners typically tasked with drafting zoning ordinances, the residential developers who normally develop deed restrictions have a clear, immediate signal about the desirability of their deed restrictions and a strong incentive to get them right through rising and falling property values. Developers crafting deed restrictions under competitive conditions will regulate up to the point of maximizing property values and no more. To quote Siegan:
The landowner who engages, in effect, in exclusionary land use practices by restricting ‘excessive’ amounts of land risks suffering the economic sanctions of the private market, a hazard never confronted by local legislators. (79)
That is to say, implement too little private regulation, and your houses sell for less since prospective homebuyers aren’t confident that they will enjoy the amenities (e.g. purely residential community character) that they prefer. Implement too much private regulation, on the other hand, and your houses sell for less since prospective homebuyers will be forced to overproduce certain public goods (e.g. landscaping, design standards), or won’t be able to use their property as they might like (e.g. as home-based businesses). Thus, the market disciplines deed restrictions in a way that zoning is almost never disciplined, since shopping among neighborhoods is much easier than shopping among entire municipalities.
These market pressures lead to at least two interesting outcomes that distinguish deed restrictions from zoning: First, certain exclusionary regulations that are the norm in zoned cities—e.g. one acre minimum lot sizes—are relatively unheard of in Houston, since they would make it next to impossible for residential developers to outbid other land users. Second, even among single-family residential neighborhoods, the form and strictness of deed restrictions may vary by income and other factors, reflecting the obvious fact that different groups of people may have different preferences regarding how strictly—and in what way—their neighborhood should be regulated. This leads to an incredible amount of diversity among Houston’s deed restricted neighborhoods, a far cry from the standard “R-1” zoning district.
Third and finally, deed restrictions can and do adapt to changing market conditions over time. Your typical zoning ordinance is well over 40 years old. True, zoning can change through mechanisms like rezonings or variances, but these are ad hoc and frequently arbitrary, and rarely change the regulation for an entire area of town—let alone single-family residential neighborhoods. Full zoning rewrites are cumbersome and contentious. They are infrequent, and even when they occur, policymakers are loathe fundamentally change any particular neighborhood’s rules for fear of agitating vocal proponents of the status quo, irrationally afraid that any official zoning change would destroy the value of their homes. A planning professor of mine once joked, “Two things will survive the apocalypse: cockroaches and single-family zoning.”
Compare that to Houston’s deed restrictions, which nearly always incorporate expiration dates, after which the restrictions must be approved by a majority of residents every 10 or so years depending on the deed’s terms. At these intervals, residents can and occasionally do let the restrictions expire, allowing single-family neighborhoods to incorporate townhomes, apartments, and small businesses. As Kapur notes, however, residents often use these intervals as an opportunity to reconfigure the deed to reflect changing market conditions. Particularly in older neighborhoods within the 610 loop, where the original terms of the deed restrictions are often long-expired, residents are made to regularly come together to debate and discuss how they think their community should be regulated as part of the re-approval process, meeting as equals with relatively little top-down control of process. This leads to the de facto upzoning of high-demand Houston single-family residential neighborhoods with surprisingly frequency, an unthinkable outcome in most zoned cities.
Outside of these regular official intervals, deed restrictions also regularly unofficially wither away, either as infractions build up unaddressed or residents forget to re-approve the deeds. This withering away of yesteryear’s regulations can and often does happen in Houston, allowing formerly single-family residential neighborhoods to gradually transform into mixed-use urban neighborhoods. Again, this is almost unimaginable in any zoned city, where regulations older than you or I are still on the books and fully enforced, regardless of how much the neighborhood in question has changed.
Make no mistake: public enforcement acts as an artificial subsidy for deed restrictions in Houston, almost certainly producing deeds that are more extensive and longer lasting than they might otherwise be under market conditions. Yet even allowing for this minor asterisk, it’s clear that Houston’s system of quasi-private land regulation is very different—and in certain key respects much better—than zoning.
Siegan concludes his discussion of this topic by perceptively noting that zoning implicitly tries to answer two very difficult questions:
- What is the extent of protection to which property owners are entitled?
- What powers should existing residents have to exclude other people and things from the municipality?
Zoning addresses these questions using an opaque political process in which certain privileged special interests—namely homeowners—may impose their particular preferences across all time. Houston’s deed restrictions, on the other hand, are constantly rediscovering the answers to these questions. It all comes back to consumer preferences: if consumers desire things like large lots and ample off-street parking and are willing to pay more for the extra land, developers will respond by bidding up the land and implementing tight deed restrictions. If they either don’t want these restrictions, or aren’t willing to pay more for them, developers might still build the houses but with deed restrictions that allow for smaller lots, higher lot coverage, or certain complimentary commercial uses.
In this way, the process of identifying the optimal mix of land-use regulation is a dynamic discovery process, subject to ongoing changes in local conditions. As the costs of zoning stasis in cities like San Francisco become clearer, the value of understanding Houston’s uniquely dynamic system of deed restrictions only rises.
For future content and discussion, follow me on Twitter at @mnolangray.
 This should not be misinterpreted as an anti-planning (or anti-planner) screed. As I have written here on the blog, planners are very good at many things and deserve more respect in these spheres. That said, nobody—however smart and well-meaning—has the necessary knowledge to plan things like future land uses and densities for an entire city.
 This puts much of what we might otherwise call the “deliberative” or “participatory” planning in other cities to shame.
 These questions are posed on page 84. For Siegan’s full discussion of this issue, I strongly urge you to read Chapter 3 of “Land Use Without Zoning.”

Vaccinating your dog- what, when and why!
Why do we recommend vaccinating your pet?
Routine vaccinations protect against several really nasty diseases, some of which could potentially kill your pet. Thanks to vaccination programmes cases of these diseases do not occur as frequently as they used to. Some diseases (such as distemper) are not seen in the Uk at present, others are confined to certain areas (e.g parvovirus) whilst some are wide spread and common (e.g leptospirosis).
What do we vaccinate against?
We advise routinely protecting your dog against a number of diseases. This core set of vaccinations include
Distemper – This disease is caused by a virus that is spread via saliva and other body fluids. It affects the nervous and respiratory systems and is often fatal.
Parvovirus – This virus affects the gastrointestinal system and is extremely contagious .It often affects puppies and can result in death.
Leptospirosis – This disease can kill both humans and dogs. It is a bacterial infection that spreads through exposure to infected urine and contaminated water courses.
Canine Infectious Hepatitis – This is caused by a virus that affects the liver, kidney, eyes and lungs of infected dogs. It is spread in urine, faeces and animals that have survived previous infections can become carriers. Infection can lead to death within hours of contracting the disease
Parainfluenza– This virus can cause Kennel Cough. It affects the respiratory system and is easily spread by air borne particles.
We also offer vaccinations against
Bordetella bronchiseptica- Another cause of Kennel cough. This results in a harsh, hacking cough in healthy dogs, and can lead to pneumononia in very old or young animals. This vaccine is often required if your pet is staying in Boarding Kennels.
Rabies - The UK is rabies free and we want to keep it that way! Any dog travelling abroad will need to have a rabies vaccination to protect them and fulfil legal criteria associated with pet travel.
When should you vaccinate?
For most dogs, vaccinations begin as puppies. We can use our core vaccines from 6 weeks of age. This first (or primary) course of vaccinations needs two injections 3-4 weeks apart. After this we would recommend yearly boosters to keep your pet protected.
Rabies and Kennel cough vaccinations are different, so we would recommend having a chat with a vet or nurse if your pet needs them.
It is important to keep up to date with jabs. If booster vaccinations lapse, we would recommend restarting from scratch (i.e another primary course), which can be costly and time consuming.

Can technology be leveraged for social good?
Ryerson businesses showed that technology can be leveraged for social good at the InnovateTO150, external link showcase on November 3.
A collaboration between Ryerson, York University, OCAD, University of Toronto, and the City of Toronto, InnovateTO150 brought together Toronto’s next generation of socially conscious entrepreneurs to demonstrate their ideas.
Named “Best Social Enterprise” and receiving $30,000, the Social Ventures Zone and DMZ startup Ulula aims to move us closer to truly ethical production. Ulula provides a platform for companies and governments to make ethical business decisions through greater supply-chain transparency. The company has developed a technology to measure a supplier’s labour and social accountability standards to help clients make informed, ethical decisions.
The business uses mobile technology to connect workers and community members to an anonymous reporting and feedback channel. It allows for direct, real-time dialogue to report safety violations and human rights abuses in industries like energy, mining, and manufacturing, and allows communication between workers and high-level stakeholders. “Mobile tech is ubiquitous—people may not even have access to clean water, but they have access to mobile phones,” said Vera Belazelkoska,who directs programs and partnerships, and works with Arisa Goldstone, Antoine Heuty, and Manu Kabahizi. “How can we leverage these connections? We have these technologies, and even without smartphones or the Internet, users can report with a simple text message or voice survey.”
The startup is part of the Social Ventures Zone and are alumni of the DMZ, and now based at the IBM Innovation Space. Belazelkoska says that the incubators have been crucial to building momentum. “Though we were very passionate, we had limited capital to run on, and we didn’t have a community. It was beneficial to have access to a community that could help us to refine our pitch, connect to investors, leverage grants, and move beyond the kitchen table and build networks.” The prize money will help Ulula fund an ambitious study of working conditions in India’s textile and garment industry, monitoring for forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking.
Winning “Best Startup Enterprise” and $15,000, Eatonomy, external link is a unique startup that finds use for the food that stores and restaurants might otherwise throw away. The mobile app connects retailers with customers who can purchase much-needed food at a reduced rate while also providing suppliers with a new revenue stream. The business, incubated at iBoost and the SocialVentures Zone, has a personal connection for Ryerson engineering ’17 graduate Maleeha Alvi, who cofounded the business with husband Shaheryar Ahmad (Ryerson engineering '16).
“In second year, I worked at a grocery store while I lived off campus,” said Alvi. “I noticed that we take a lot of food and just throw it out—food that is perfectly fine and safe to eat. I was surviving on the part-time income I made from the grocery store to pay my rent, and I would go home and not have enough to go down to the store to buy food. I’d go home and eat crackers and peanut butter after I had just thrown out food I could have eaten. So, there’s a personal motivation from my end to do something about the unnecessary food waste.”
The $15,000 prize will help Eatonomy expand its staff, said Alvi. “Finances for startups are tight, especially with the added dynamic of being a couple—we have to pay the bills and sustain the household. Having $15,000 allows us to get the extra help that we need. Now we need more feet on the ground and more help with marketing—basically, increasing the size of our team.”
Now a graduate, Alvi cites the zone learning network as her most important experience at Ryerson. “There are huge learning opportunities at the zones,” said Alvi. “The services and the mentorships and the coaching you get are unparalleled for students. People normally pay to have spaces and mentorships like this. If there’s one thing at Ryerson I would tell students to take advantage of, it’s the zones.”

Thanks for the replies folks! Interesting that the local gun dealer uses a Rapid for at least some of his competition shooting. I have used a mates Mk2 Rapid for a local competition recently and enjoyed it but thought it a touch on the light side. Thats why I have ordered a TTR2, as by all accounts it is about 10lb all in when scoped up. Not that I will be using the gun just for comps though, it will also see service as my front line field gun
Will see you at Kibworth Sunday Simon. I will be using the 80! James has your new carbon bottle for you.

If you request a payment plan (contract to temper), your application can take up to 90 days to be processed. As a general rule, you have up to 3 to 5 years to pay off your balance. If you are unable to resolve your issues of the government`s tax debt, you can benefit from assistance from the law firm for the rights of taxpayers. This agency will conduct an independent review of your tax situation, make recommendations and answer any questions you have about California income tax. To start, call 1-800-883-5910 or write to Executive Section Liaison MS A381, Franchise Tax Board, P.O. Box 157, Rancho Cordova, CA 95741-0157. If you sign up for a california tax payment plan, you may be subject to a state tax guarantee. FTB files a public data set that entitles them to your assets. This can have a negative impact on your credit, making it difficult to qualify for mortgages and others. In some cases, you can request the withdrawal of the pledge if you have made payments as agreed and you will settle the debts in less than three years. Even if you can`t pay your tax debt, it`s important to contact the FTB. Ignoring your tax notices leads to the accumulation of interest and penalties, as well as the possible seizure of assets you own. The FTB also has a unique feature that is not available with IRS temperature chords.
The function is called “jumping the month.” If, for any reason, you cannot make your payment staggered as part of your agreement, you can call FTB and therefore inform it in advance of the due date of your payment. With FTB, you can spend a month without declaring your payment contract as a delay. The call number is (916) 845-0494. If you request a staggered payment, an application fee of $34 will be added to your tax balance. If your application is accepted, you will receive a notification with your monthly payment date and amount. If you do not make this first payment within 30 days, you will terminate your temper contract and you will have to expect further recoveries from the FTB. In deciding whether to accept a compromise offer, the government will consider your full financial vision, including all the assets or real estate you own, your current income and potential for future income, your monthly expenses and whether your finances are likely to improve in a year or more years. Most people owe about three times as much to the IRS as they do to the FTB. Although the IRS limits are $50,000 or less, most people who owe up to $25,000 to the FTB owe the IRS more than $50,000. This means that FTB`s limit values are actually more generous than those of the IRS. With the IRS, you can pay up to 72 months, but with the FTB is the maximum time for a 60 month agreement. You can`t pay your tax bill and want to receive a payment plan? You can ask for a missed tempe agreement.

The inclination is clearly towards bilateral trade agreements, where India has more flexibility in negotiating terms that it feelss wouldn’t disadvantage domestic manufacturers.
India, which has not signed any trade agreement since 2012, will soon revive talks on the possible free trade agreement (FTA) with the European Union and the US.
India’s decision to stay out of the China-backed Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, or RCEP, Asia’s mega free-trade agreement (FTA), has been met both with a sense of approval and disappointment and divided economists on the issue.
India refused to join RCEP citing reservations that goods manufactured by China could come into India. Jaishankar also said India would like a fair and balanced trade deal with the European Union.
India will avoid joining agreements which are actually trade pacts by stealth with China and instead explore trade agreements with developed countries with large markets such as the US and EU where Indian products and services would be competitive unlike ASEAN.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for an early review of the ASEAN-India trade in goods agreement that has been pending for a long time at the virtual ASEAN-India Summit.
Ministers from 15 countries in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership agreed Wednesday to sign the long-awaited trade deal at a summit Sunday, leaving the door open for reluctant India to return later.
A victory for Joe Biden in the American presidential election may delay the conclusion of a “limited” trade deal between India and the US that was negotiated for months.
This study casts serious doubt on earlier more optimistic projections of projected gains and shows that the case for proceeding with the RCEP without India’s participation is even less convincing.
In September this year, India and South Korea resumed renegotiation of their landmark Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) that played a key role in spurring trade between the two sides and boosted bilateral ties.
India’s decoupling from China led to a number of harsh steps to undermine the trade and investment relations with China, despite the fact that Chinese investment set the turf for mobile phone manufacturing in the country.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta has advised the government that the decision of an arbitration tribunal cannot contradict the law passed by a sovereign parliament.
India is seeing public opinion drastically shift in favor of Taiwan amid growing anti-Beijing sentiments. But will New Delhi risk its Asian rival’s wrath for stronger ties with Taipei?
India and the Philippines have begun negotiations on a bilateral investment agreement as they want to further boost their economic ties.
The scope of consent to arbitration is an important issue that needs to be finally settled - not least because it could have multi-billion dollar implications for India in respect of other cases involving challenges to India’s taxation measures by foreign investors.
India’s pullout from the RCEP, like the prior U.S. withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, has made a situation for Japan.
Indian currently has no plans to launch talks with Taiwan for a trade deal contrary to speculations that Delhi may launch trade dialogue with Taipei that drew sharp reaction from China.
China asked India to approach ties with Taiwan “prudently and properly” and said it would “firmly oppose” any official exchanges between New Delhi and Taipei.
Narendra Modi government is also proactively stepping up its efforts to rejig India’s trade relations with the rest of the world by overhauling its Free Trade Agreement or FTA strategy.
Both sides also agreed to expedite their internal procedures for signing and ratification of the Protocol amending India-Oman Double Taxation Agreement and conclusion of the India-Oman Bilateral Investment Treaty.

I have been playing the waiting game since May 21st when the Moraine Lake Road opened for the season. I have been waiting for all variables to positively align and then it would be go time. I patiently waited for the "Not Recommended" warning notice for Larch Valley to be removed from the Parks Website. That happened then I waited for a nice day but a week day and all that aligned today.
I truly enjoy being in the upper Larch Valley area at this time of year.
I arrived at the Moraine Lake Parking Lot around 7:00am. The lot was busy enough but no where near full at all. I was not sure where all the people were, maybe up on the Rock Pile. The lake level was low so I walked out to the edge of the water to capture a perfect picture of Moriane Lake with some of the Ten Peaks reflecting.
The sky was looking how I like it, the temperature was warm already and the trail was completely dry all the way to the bridge at the beginning of Larch Valley. I noticed after downloading my photos there is a ground hog at the bottom left. I was excited to get up higher so did not dilly dally too long here.
Entering the forest section after Lower Larch Valley, the snow level increased. There was a well beaten trail through it all covered in last autumn's larch needles. It was early so the snow was still solid and I could move quickly up to the open area. I now could see what the Parks People meant by "snow covered".
I followed in the foots steps of those who had gone before me on prior days. The steps were still solid, some very deep. I was able to walk on top of the snow in lots of sections and that made for easier travel. I scared away two marmots when I took over this boulder.
There was a path in the snow to follow down to Minnestimma Lake but I opted to walk on top of the snow paralleling the path. I could see people had worked their way up to Sentinel Pass on past days. Right at the edge of the lake is as far as I went.
looking back at some of the Ten Peaks lining the Valley of Ten Peaks
so happy to be here
There would be no finding the tarn today, there was still lots of snow and no trail led to it. It was not obvious where it was anyway. I could see the snow was deep and had cracks. Getting to see the waterfall was easily doable. There was no open water up here today to capture reflections. There were a few small ice covered puddles though.
I could see the Lower Minnestimma Lake.
I could see a path over there leading down to it but I was not game to go there today.
These are some more of the Ten Peaks.
I worked my way back to that big boulder where the marmots make their home.
By now the snow was softening and I was no longer able to easily walk on top of it. I followed in the steps, some very deep, already there and aimed to get back to the snowless area. By now others were coming to the upper valley. I was glad to have been there while the snow was firm. It was work to get back to this point. This was a good spot to rest and have some snacks.
I took another break at the bridge. I kept lingering about not wanting to leave. There were a few others on their way up, we exchanged pleasantries and they asked for a report of conditions further along the trail. I lingered a little longer cherishing the peace and quiet and the beauty. I know I will not experience that here again until possibly this time next year.
This is such a beautiful part of Banff National Park.
I don't take for granted the time I get to spend here so cherish every second I do.
Today was everything I wished it to be!

US police officer's TikTok child safety tips divide opinion
A police officer in the US has amassed millions of views on TikTok by sharing key safety tips to help protect children from predators.
Terra Avilla works in the child sex crimes unit as an investigator, and her rules on sleepovers, hugging strangers and using SnapChat have divided some opinions online.
But after years of seeing the tragedy and heartache families have gone through - even the most seemingly innocent activities can.
No sleepovers at friend's houses
Terra admitted she enjoyed sleeping over friend's houses as a child, but in the past 13 years in her job, she has seen too many horrible things happening at them.
"My husband and I made it a hard and fast rule at our house that our daughters are not going to have sleepovers," she told Today Extra.
Terra said statistically it is often someone the child and family know who will attack them and too many parents she meets after the fact are under the same misconception "it's the boogieman who will grab your kid in a dark alley".
"I got a lot of backlash about that rule - but we can have her friends over here, we are more than happy to host and we don't take offence if her friends have the same sleepover rule - it's just something that we decided to do to protect our kids," she said.
Terra said any application in which a young teen can send videos and photographs of themselves has the propensity to be dangerous.
"In my experience teens are so much more willing to send inappropriate things because they are under the belief that the video or the picture goes away," she said.
"So predators are able to prey on that belief it can't be saved, which is false and they do."
She also flagged the location settings on SnapChat that allows predators to track children using it which she said is a huge concern.
Kids don't have to hug anyone they don't want to
If a child doesn't feel comfortable hugging an adult, regardless of whether they or the parent know the person, that hesitance should be respected.
Terra said her job is to track sexual predators, investigate them and study their victimology, but she realised a "huge disconnect" victims and their families have between protecting their children and the methods predators use.
"Parents don't think like predators, and rightfully so, but it's hard to protect their kids when they don't think like that," she said.
"So I decided to start my video series and it's gained a lot of popularity."

While staying at Palazzo Malaspina in San Donato, we had our host set us up an appointment to visit Casa Emma for a wine tasting/meal. What a treat! The wine tour was very informative, and I left their cellars with a whole new appreication for the process of producing a great Chianti wine. We tasted five different types of wine, served with the 5 course meal, and each was better than the last. No rushing, every new wine served came with explainations of the difference from the previous wine, then we were left to savor the food and drink. The staff went out of their way to welcome us, and answer all of our questions. Definitely worth the trip!

GENESEE COUNTY, MI -- Same-sex couples who want to marry in Michigan may get marriage licenses in Genesee County on Monday, March 24.
That is, however, only if a judicial stay isn't issued, said Genesee County Clerk-Register of Deeds John Gleason.
"We intend to accept the first applications 8 a.m. Monday morning," Gleason said.
Gleason said he also expects to have ministers available in the office to make the marriages official. He said at least one minister plans to be in the office Monday. Follow this link for information from the Clerk's office on what couples need to bring to the courthouse.
U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman has ruled Michigan's gay marriage ban unconstitutional.
Friedman issued the ruling Friday, prohibiting the state from continuing to enforce the Michigan Marriage Amendment.
"In attempting to define this case as a challenge to 'the will of the people,' state defendants lost sight of what this case is truly about: people," the judge concluded.
"No court record of this proceeding could ever fully convey the personal sacrifice of these two plaintiffs who seek to ensure that the state may no longer impair the rights of their children and the thousands of others now being raised by same-sex couples."
The state immediately filed notice of appeal, but the judge did not issue a stay of his ruling, as have judges in other states after overturning marriage bans with appeals anticipated.
The lack of a stay means same-sex couples could theoretically apply for marriage licenses immediately, but the ruling was issued after 5 p.m. Friday, when most government offices close for the weekend.
Deborah Baldwin and Aimee Loubert have waited years for the opportunity to marry. The two spent Friday afternoon in the Genesee County Courthouse, hoping to be the first to marry.
They clutched a manilla envelope with their birth certificates and other information they need. The words "marriage stuff" written on the front. Their new wedding rings were in their pockets.
They weren't able to marry Friday. But they plan to be first in line Monday morning.
"I am hopeful and excited for the first time in a long time," said Loubert, 45.
The Flint women have been together almost 20 years. They met while singing in a choir. Baldwin, 60, said she never thought she'd see the day she would be allowed to marry.
"I didn't think I would see it in my lifetime," Baldwin said.

Bulletin Bottle offers a wide selection of water bottle materials. Each carries its own advantages and disadvantages. While it’s true that manufacturing and shipping custom water bottles has an impact on the environment, any of our material choices are far more environmentally friendly than the alternative: single use bottled water.
So, how do you know which water bottle material option is best for your custom water bottles? We’ve prepared this guide to help you in your decision! P.S. Since all Bulletin Bottle water bottles are BPA free, we have not featured that as a material advantage for any one option below.
TRITAN COPOLYESTER is a relatively new material that was introduced to the market by Eastman in 2007. This ultra-tough option features high impact and heat resistance. It’s also leach proof, dishwasher safe, and resistant to odors, tastes, and stains. Our Tritan water bottles have a high perceived value and a low price point (when compared to materials like stainless steel and glass) and are our most popular material to date.
• Dishwasher safe
• Odor and taste resistant
• High value relative to price
• Many child-safe options
• Sometimes lumped into the same category as lesser plastics
• More expensive than other plastics
• Not as pure as glass
GLASS is seen by many as the most pure way to drink water. As such, it comes with a high price tag. Glass water bottles are not child safe, and often have limited print capabilities. Many of our glass water bottles feature silicone sleeves that are both stylish and act as extra protection for the bottle. Glass bottles are popular because the material has never contained BPA.
• Water tastes the most pure
• High value
• Silicone sleeves add protection and trendy styling
• Dishwasher safe
• Easily breakable
• Can be expensive
• Sometimes has limited imprinting capabilities
• Not safe for use by children
STAINLESS STEEL bottles are generally crafted from food-grade stainless steel. Since stainless steel is non-reactive, bottles made from this material don’t leach and don’t have to be lined. Since stainless steel contains nickel, people with allergies to this metal should avoid stainless steel water bottles. The highest quality metal bottles are almost always made from stainless steel.
• High perceived value
• No plastic or epoxy
• Can dent
• Possible faint metallic taste
• Heats up in warm temperatures
ALUMINUM bottles are lined–typically with an enamel, resin, polymer, or epoxy—because aluminum can react with certain liquids. Most factories will not disclose liner materials, citing confidentiality, but will test and affirm BPA-free, food-grade liners. Aluminum water bottles are lower-cost alternatives to stainless steel, and are popular options for metal water bottles.
• Lighter than stainless steel
• Less expensive than stainless steel
• Higher perceived value than plastic
• Can dent more easily than stainless steel
• Has an enamel, resin, polymer, or epoxy lining
BPA-FREE PLASTIC is the most widely used material in inexpensive custom water bottles. There are many different variations of plastics, such as HDPE, PETE, polypropylene, and LDPE. The official names are long and twist on the tongue, but they’re all plastics. Tritan copolyester is also a part of this category. Some can be recycled, but this is entirely dependent on the recycling facility that receives the bottle. It should never be assumed that plastic bottles are automatically recyclable. Many BPA-free plastic water bottles are CPSIA approved for use by children, but this should never be assumed. Even when two bottles look identical, one may not have undergone the rigorous testing required to be CPSIA approved.
• Lightweight material
• Relatively inexpensive with lots of color options
• Great for fundraisers
• Not necessarily recyclable as many assume
• Not dishwasher safe, must be hand washed

For the first time in much more than a decade, the United says Supreme Court will certainly be reviewing a 2nd Amendment instance that could readjust the landscape as soon as it involves gun right legislations in this country.
On Monday, the can be fried Court i agree to testimonial a regulation in brand-new York that sets very stringent limits on who can lug a gun exterior of the home.
You are watching: Can you own a handgun in new york city
Tom King, president of the new York State Rifle & Pistol Association, says that new York’s gun laws have made it practically impossible for anyone to bring a handgun in public.
“We chose that we were walk to shot to change that and also make certain that brand-new York state occupants who want a pistol permit or a concealed lug permit are provided the very same protections under the legislation that everybody rather in the various other 42 claims are given,” King explained.
New York imposes some of the strictest gun laws in the country. The requires brand-new Yorkers using for a license to carry a surprise handgun in windy to display they have “proper cause,” or in other words, a special need for self-protection.
At the very least seven other states, including new Jersey, California and also Massachusetts have comparable laws on their books.
Two males from Rensselaer County that were denied permits, together with the new York State Rifle and Pistol Association, sued the state over this legislation in 2018.
Lower court upheld brand-new York’s total laws, but in a historical decision, the supreme Court announced it has actually now i agree to take up the case.
State Attorney general Letitia James will certainly be representing brand-new York in this case.
“We look forward to presenting the state’s arguments at the U.S. Can be fried Court and to mirroring how brand-new York’s laws defend public security in a manner continuous with the 2nd Amendment,” James said.
"This NRA-backed case is a substantial threat to that security," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. "Imagine someone delivering a gun with Times Square, ~ above the subway, or to a tailgate exterior of a receipt game. The NRA"s goal here is to change the onus onto regular brand-new Yorkers, police officers, protection guards and an initial responders to determine whether an equipped individual poses a risk or is simply carrying for self-defense. The streets of brand-new York are not the O.K. Corral, and the NRA"s dream that a society where anyone is terrified of each other and armed come the teeth is abhorrent to our values.”
The last second Amendment supreme Court judgment was 2008"s ar of Columbia v. Heller.By just one vote, the majority ruling established that a person has the ideal to save a pistol in the house for self-defense. This ruling was then upheld again in 2010, in a an obstacle against Chicago"s total laws.
Since then, the supreme Court has turned down many cases an overwhelming state gun control laws.
However, v the 3 latest appointments by former President Donald Trump, the supreme Court now has a 6-3 conservative justice majority.

Albany law Professor Vincent Bonventre said this instance will have an enormously vast impact. It will decide if states and the federal federal government have the ideal to impose stringent gun control laws.
“So top top the one hand, is the individual best to bear arms a fundamental right?” Bonventre questioned. “Which means that it"s going to be very, very, very an overwhelming for state governments or the federal government to border those rights? Or is it that other part of Heller, i m sorry is that lengthy standing restrictions reasonable limitations are fine? us don"t know. This case will phone call us.”
This situation will it is in heard through the can be fried Court at the start of their following term which starts the first Monday that October.


The Keysight E5080A are high performance 2 and 4 port Vector Network Analyzers that are available in 4.5 GHz, 6.5 GHz and 9 GHz configurations. When compared to the popular E5071C ENA, the E5080A offers a number of performance advantages which include a wider dynamic range (typically 147 dB) and faster measurement speeds - 10 times faster in real-world test scenarios. These enhancements improve precision and throughput in the testing of RF components such as filters with deep rejection bands. The new ENA uses the Keysight PNA and PXI Series software architecture, making it easier for engineers to take measurements across multiple Keysight VNAs. They also have an intuitive large screen touch screen interface.

The following is a summary of the publication in the November 1996 issue of Proceeding of the National Academy of Science, titled “Gene delivery to skeletal muscle results in sustained expression and systemic delivery of a therapeutic protein.”
Johns Hopkins University has been investigating the use of a new viral vector, adeno-associated virus (AAV) which has not been previously tested in striated muscle. AAV is a non-pathogenic human parvovirus which has simple single-stranded genome which can be completely replaced with a therapeutic gene.
The result is a vector or vehicle for the delivery of genetic material to cells. It has been found that AAV is able to deliver genes to skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle with high efficiency and that there is sustained expression of the gene in muscle. AAV has been used to express human GAA in human muscle cells in culture and in mice for up to 3 months.
Corresponding studies with erythropoetin have been expressing the therapeutic protein for up to 40 weeks. Therefore, we are encouraged that this approach will be of tremendous utility for inherited disease in general and especially for acid maltase deficiency. We expect that a single intramuscular administration of AAV-GAA may result in long-term expression of GAA which can be secreted into the circulation and taken up by distant tissues. In the near future, we will begin studies to test how much human GAA is made from a repository of muscle tissue in larger animals.
It is encouraging to see how quickly the field of genetic therapies is progressing. But hope must be tempered with the understanding that these experimental therapies are still far from application.

Frequency of Harmony and the Unified Theory of Everything. Across the Universe towards Human Body and Mind with Discovery of Neuroarchitecture Vinci Power Nap® Pendulum as the Biotechnology of the Future
Author(s): Magdalena Filcek
Science and geometry have always developed parallel and interpenetrated. The orbits of the planets around the Sun can be represented by ellipses as a result of the law of gravity. Simple geometric shapes are associated with simple dynamics because this kind of mathematical representation implies an interwoven relationship between the form of an object and the forces acting on it. The author's pioneering empirical observations and research on the biotechnology patented Vinci Power Nap® neuroarchitecture system, led to the a very important notion that this unique combination of a horizontal pendulum motion with a vertical harmonic oscillator, with a man lying inside as a pendulum lens - all together create harmony in the observed resonant frequency and period by presenting two values of the number Phi. If everything in the universe is made of energy, then maybe that energy can be defined in terms of 0,618Hz frequency, which was found in the Vinci Power Nap® pendulum, as a pattern of incessant space fractal transformation, inner fundamental force of nature and the matrix of creation. Feynman’s fine structure constant can relate this golden ratio to quantum physics, leading to quantum biology, quantum gravity, the general theory of unification and even further to the M-Theory, unified field theory, theory of everything (TOE).
