A portrait of Oscar Wilde has gone on display next to his prison door
The writer was sentenced on May 25, 1895 to two years' imprisonment with hard labour in solitary confinement on the charge of gross indecency.
The door, from Reading Gaol, stands alongside a painting of Wilde at Tate Britain's new Queer British Art exhibition.
Billed as "the first exhibition dedicated to queer British art", it marks the 50th anniversary of the partial decriminalisation of male homosexuality in England and Wales.
Wilde once owned the 1884 portrait, by Robert Goodloe Harper Pennington, hanging it above his fireplace after it was given to him and his new wife, Constance, as a wedding present.
But he later auctioned the work and all his belongings to pay his debts, while awaiting trial.
The pairing is part of Tate Britain's Queer British Art exhibition
The 1884 portrait was painted by Robert Goodloe Harper Pennington and once belonged to Wilde
It shows the 27-year-old on the brink of fame, before imprisonment destroyed his health and reputation.
There's a real emotional punch in this pairing
Curator Clare Barlow said: "For me, there's a real emotional punch in this pairing. ...When you see an object like this it really brings it home that this actually happened, this was somebody whose life was actually wrecked."
Wilde wrote De Profundis, his famous letter to his lover Lord Alfred Douglas, known as "Bosie", from inside cell C.3.3.
His time in jail also inspired The Ballad Of Reading Gaol, which he later penned while in exile in France.
The exhibition marks 50th anniversary of the partial decriminalisation of male homosexuality
Tate Britain also announced it was launching this year's Pride Festival at the venue in June and will be flying the rainbow flag above the gallery from April 5, the opening date of the Queer British Art 1861-1967 show, until the end of July.
:: The exhibition runs until October 1 at Tate Britain.

Alyssa's Wishes is the second book in A Michaels Middle School Story series by Susan Read. While making good grades and assuring her teachers everything is all right in her home life, Alyssa is making wishes for a change in her circumstances. Though her dad loves her, the things he embraces for comfort push Alyssa into a corner of the living room and keep them from enjoying a healthy relationship with friends and family. Alyssa doesn't want to upset the balance her father has created for himself, but she puts all her heart into a wish on the eleventh day of the eleventh month at 11:11. She waits for her wish to come true and researches puppy mills and rescue shelters, hoping for a dog of her own. Her life changes suddenly, and she wonders if her wishes have destroyed her family.
Get ready to blow the seeds off a dandelion with Alyssa as Susan L. Read relays the middle schooler's thoughts. Some readers may relate to Alyssa in one way or another, whether they have an absent parent, a family member with a mental illness, or they simply want a dog. Whether they picked up the book to dive into Alyssa's story or to learn more about Alyssa's project about puppy mills, Read's book will give readers a comfortable place to examine certain social issues without overwhelming them. Read's dedication to rescue dogs shines through on every page, as she includes the names of real rescue dogs in her home and community. Alyssa's Wishes is a beautifully written story that will grab the hearts of readers and, hopefully, inspire them to learn more about rescue animals.

In most cases, you may leave the hospital on the day of total knee surgery or the following morning. Following a treatment plan of exercises and medications may help speed up your recovery.
Your treatment plan for osteoarthritis will usually include a combination of lifestyle changes and medications.
In time, however, you may need total knee replacement surgery.
Having an idea of what to expect after surgery may help you prepare and improve the chances of a successful outcome in the long term.
Keep reading to learn more about what to expect after total knee replacement surgery.
That said, how long you stay in the hospital will depend on your recovery. For example, you may have to reach certain milestones before leaving the hospital, including:
- controlling pain
- getting around with the help of a walking device
- being able to flex and extend your knee sufficiently
- being able to get to and use the bathroom unaided
You may need to stay in the hospital longer if you’re not yet mobile or complications develop.
After surgery, you will most likely wake up from the anesthesia in the recovery room.
You may have a large, bulky dressing that will help control swelling.
Medications could be administered orally, intravenously, or by injection.
These usually last 1–2 days.
When to get immediate medical attention
It’s estimated that up to 2 in 100 people experience a complication after TKR surgery.
Some possible complications of TKD may
- periprosthetic joint infection
- deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which may lead to pulmonary embolism
- osteolysis, which is the destruction of bone
- knee replacement revision surgery
It’s also possible to experience pneumonia in the days following TKR. A doctor may show you breathing exercises to do after surgery to help avoid fluid buildup and keep your lungs and bronchial tubes clear.
Exercises to help prevent blood clots after total knee replacement surgery
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons suggests that some exercises while lying in bed after TKR surgery may help maintain circulation and reduce the risk of blood clots. These may include:
- Ankle pumps: Push your foot up and down several times every 5–10 minutes.
- Ankle rotations: Move your ankle inward and outward five times, repeating this exercise three to four times daily.
- Bed-supported knee bends: Lying down, slide your foot back toward your buttock, keeping your heel on the bed. Repeat 10 times, three or four times a day.
- Straight leg raises: Tighten your thigh muscle and raise your leg a few inches, keeping it straight. Hold for 5–10 seconds, then gently lower.
Wearing compression socks may also help prevent clots, and a doctor will likely prescribe blood thinners to help, too.
A physical therapist will visit you several times to:
- help you stand up as soon as possible
- get you moving and help you adjust to your new knee
- record your mobility, range of motion, and exercise progress
It’s important to get the most from these visits. The sooner you begin rehabilitation, the better your chances for a successful outcome and speedy recovery.
A doctor will develop a treatment plan to help you resume your day-to-day activities as soon as possible.
This may include a combination of natural remedies, medications, and physical therapy to help reduce pain and inflammation.
It’s important to carefully follow your treatment plan, such as:
- taking your medication for as long as the doctor prescribes, even if you feel better
- attending all appointments with your doctor and physical therapist
- practicing the exercises your physical therapist has prescribed
Early goals you can set yourself may include:
- getting in and out of bed without help
- working on fully bending and straightening your knee
- walking as far as you can each day, possibly with crutches or a walker
Learn more about how to manage postoperative knee pain.
The frequency of follow-up appointments after TKR depends on your surgeon, medical institution, insurance plan, and other individual factors.
Most people will have a surgical follow-up appointment at:
- 3 weeks
- 6 weeks
- 3 months
- 6 months
- 1 year
After that, you will probably see your doctor annually to assess how well your implant is doing.
Learn more about what to expect from your artificial knee.
You should be able to resume most everyday activities within 3 months of TKR, according to the AAHKS.
Your doctor will tell you when you can drive again, usually 4–6 weeks after surgery.
Most people with sedentary employment can return to work after 4–6 weeks, but if your job involves heavy lifting, you may need to wait 3 months to resume work.
It can take 6–12 months to get back to full activity levels.
Learn more about the recovery timeline for TKR surgery.
What percent of knee replacements are successful?
According to the AAHKS, up to 95% of knee replacements still function well after 10 years and up to 85% after 20 years.
What is the failure rate of knee replacements?
Every year, 0.5–1% of knee replacements fail, according to the AAHKS.
TKR surgery may seem daunting, but learning what to expect afterward can help you prepare for your recovery.
It’s important to follow your treatment plan. This can help improve strength and mobility as quickly as possible while minimizing your risk of complications.
Combining surgery with a strategy that involves regular exercise and weight management can increase the chances of long-term satisfaction.

Blood clot formation is crucial to maintain normal physiological conditions but at the same time involved in many diseases. The mechanical properties of the blood clot are important for its functioning but complicated due to the many processes involved. The main structural component of the blood clot is fibrin, a fibrous network that forms within the blood clot, thereby increasing its mechanical rigidity. A constitutive model for the maturing fibrin network is developed that captures?the evolving mechanical properties. The model describes the fibrin network as a network of fibers that become thicker in time. Model parameters are related to the structural properties of the network, being the fiber length, bending stiffness, and mass-length ratio. Results are compared with rheometry experiments in which the network maturation is followed in time for various loading frequencies and fibrinogen concentrations. Three parameters are used to capture the mechanical behavior including the mass-length ratio. This parameter agrees with values determined using turbidimetry experiments and is subsequently used to derive the number of protofibrils and fiber radius. The strength of the model is that it describes the mechanical properties of the maturing fibrin network based on it structural quantities. At the same time the model is relatively simple, which makes it suitable for advanced numerical simulations of blood clot formation during flow in blood vessels. Biophysical Society.

text: From some of the families from My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding. An entertaining and amusing look at a collection of true short stories, from the lives of the families of My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding. Follow us as we get involved in everything from missing out on a small fortune, twice, to being moved on by the authorities, written exactly as it happens. Comedy, tragedy, confusion and bare fist fighting are all here, as well as the hardship, mishaps and the great loss of a dear friend and much more. These stories will keep the reader entertained until the last page. Nothing was certain, except that we had to keep moving.


Mr McCabe welcomed the Lord Advocate's confirmation that he is prepared to grant amnesty against prosecution to these providers, provided they apply before that date.
Developing the arrangements for agreeing the type of service being delivered and the number of applications required took longer than expected.
This meant that providers could not meet the closing date for applications.
As a result some providers have been acting unlawfully under the terms of the Regulation of Care (Scotland) Act since 1 October 2003, when they were no longer deemed to be registered with the commission.
Mr McCabe said:
'Unlike other sectors regulated by the Care Commission, which have been the subject of local regulation in the past, both the housing support sector and childcare agencies are being regulated for the first time.
'The registration process has proven to be more complex than expected. For example, the Act requires providers to submit applications for each separately managed branch of their service.
'It has taken the Care Commission time, working with the sector, to establish a benchmark against which the number of applications required can be determined.
'I do not underestimate the seriousness of this situation. We will take steps at the earliest legislative opportunity to ensure that the registration status of these services is brought within the law.
'We will also ensure that in future the legislation allows adequate time for the Care Commission to work with service providers through the registration process.
'What is important in this case is that continuity of care has been and will be maintained for those who depend on the delivery of these services - some of the most vulnerable people in Scotland.
'The Lord Advocate's statement will reassure providers that we are committed to ensuring continuity of services.
'Many providers have already submitted their applications for registration to the Care Commission and some are registered.
'However I urge all providers who have not yet submitted their applications to do so now to avoid prosecution in the future.'
Housing support services and child care agencies have been regulated by the Care Commission since April 1, 2003.
Any provider not registered with the commission after that date was operating illegally.
However, services in existence on 1 April 2003, and immediately beforehand were deemed to be registered until 31 March 2004, provided an application for registration was received before 1 October 2003.
Legislation requires applications for the registration of each separate service, orbranch of a service (defined as one separately carried on or managed).
Some agencies providing more than one service or branch were unclear on how many applications were needed.
The Care Commission worked closely with them to establish details of typical management structures so that guidance could be offered. It was therefore not possible for many providers to submit formal applications before 1 October 2003.
Ministers intend to lay an order during recess, following a brief consultation period, to temporarily remove the requirement for providers of housing support services to be registered with the Care Commission to receive Supporting People funding.
Ministers intend to lay another order at the appropriate time to restore the requirement to register with the Care Commission to receive this funding.
Applications for registration with the Care Commission must now be submitted before 30 September 2004.

Those viewers who addicted to watch useless discussions for hours in a top news channel, know the name of social activist and wmen association leader Devi. Her speeches on women rights are quite impressive.
But then, social activist Devi should also focus on how women are being humiliated by the AP government.
It is alleged that Chandrababu Naidu’s government denied the rights of people fighting against Tundurru Aqua Food Park.
Although the affected people at Aqua Park took permission to stage a dharna in Vijayawada, police sneaked into the villages Tundurru, Bethapudi and Jonnalagaruvu and threatened women and other villagers. Women were also shamelessly man handled by the police. If at all, great women leader Devi fight for the rights of Aqua Food Park victims, it would be a great gesture from her.

Chloe Green at Information Age: “The phrase ‘Cities of the Future’ conjures up so many different images, from the utopia of The Jetsons to the dystopia of Judge Dredd. But one thing that most agree on is the connected nature of our cities, with every aspect of life being connected to the internet, machines communicating with machines and with us.
Connected cities, also called smart cities, are one aspect of the Internet of Things. Smart cities are where services use technology to be more efficient and cost-effective, from traffic and transport systems to waste management to energy and healthcare…. – with these technological advances come big concerns. Specifically these concerns revolve around data and its protection.
A connected city will be generating huge quantities of data, which will be shared from machine to machine and department to department. That’s a lot of data to target, and a lot of attack vectors to get at it.
And, as this article on Dark Reading points out, those attack vectors include the sensors themselves, which can be hacked and used to feed fake data into the system. This can result in transport systems being shut down, for example. In a big city that is a quick route to total mayhem….
Hiding the data away on an internal network won’t work, in fact that goes against the very idea of a smart city, where data sharing is the norm. The problem is, many of the companies producing hardware and software for smart cities are not experts in cyber security and so it’s often an after-thought. There is also a startling lack of standards in the smart city industry at the moment.
That is slowly changing though; Securing Smart Cities is a non-profit organisation made up of cyber security companies such as Kaspersky Lab, research bodies such as IOActive and industry bodies like the Cloud Security Alliance.
Similarly, there have been calls for smart cities to have a Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) on standby in case of a cyber attack against the infrastructure.
But in some ways new security threats posed by smart cities are not too different from what we’ve seen with the emergence of mobile and cloud computing. What’s changed is the perimeter of the network; it’s no longer contained to a data centre. The same rules that apply here could well apply to smart cities.
Access management will play a big role in securing smart cities; ensuring only the right people (or devices) from the right location can interact with each other can help to keep the bad guys out.
From encryption to DDoS mitigation to intelligent traffic management, there are systems that can be put in place to secure the data that smart cities and the IoT need to be truly effective…..(More)

| RAF Holme-on-Spalding Moor|
|IATA: none – ICAO: none|
|Owner||Ministry of Defence|
|Operator||Royal Air Force|
|Elevation AMSL||16 ft / 5 m|
RAF Holme-on-Spalding Moor, or more simply RAF Holme as it was also known, was an airfield in Yorkshire. Built during the Second World War, it was used during the war by the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a bomber station, and after the war as a transport airfield and bomb store before being "mothballed". In the 1950s, the RAF used the station as a training camp before it was transferred to the United States Air Force (USAF) as a reserve station during the Cold War. After USAF use, it became a testing airfield for Blackburn Aircraft and its successor British Aerospace until 1983, when the airfield was closed. Many of the airfield buildings survive as an industrial estate, but most of the runways have been demolished.
Second World WarEdit
Construction and layoutEdit
Construction of the airfield began in late 1940, and the airfield was built with three concrete runways and hardstandings for 36 aircraft. The runway headings and lengths were as follows:
- Main Runway 12/30 120° and 300° 1,800 yards (1,646 m)
- Runway 04/22 40° and 220° 1,200 yards (1,097 m)
- Runway 08/26 80° and 260° 1,100 yards (1,006 m)
A year later, all three runways were extended; Runway 12/30 to 2,000 yards (1,829 m), 04/22 to 1,400 yards (1,280 m) and 08/26 to 1,500 yards (1,372 m).
Three hangars were constructed, a type J and two type T2. The technical buildings, including the administration and control buildings, were to the north east of the runways. The accommodation area was further to the north east of the site, and at its maximum housed over 2,000 service personnel. This was well away from the munition stores, that were to the north west of the site.
Operational command and allocated unitsEdit
Operational command of the station was given to 1 Group of RAF Bomber Command. The first squadron allocated to Holme was 458 Squadron Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), equipped with Vickers Wellington aircraft. Arriving in August 1941, the squadron conducted its first operation in October 1941, and remained until January 1942. No squadrons were allocated until the extension of the runways was completed, and it was August 1942 before one flight of the Handley Page Halifax equipped 460 Squadron RAAF arrived. This stay only lasted a few weeks before the 460 Squadron aircraft left, and 101 Squadron RAF arrived on transfer from 3 Group. 101 Squadron was in the process of re-equipping with Avro Lancaster aircraft, and did not fly any operations until November 1942.
In June 1943, a reorganisation of group boundaries within Bomber Command saw the station transferred from 1 Group to 4 Group. This change in command resulted in a change of squadrons, with 101 Squadron being replaced by the Halifax equipped 76 Squadron RAF. 76 Squadron remained at Holme until after the end of the war in Europe. 4 Group transferred from Bomber Command to Transport Command in May 1945, and during its final weeks at Holme, 76 Squadron was re-equipped with the Douglas C-47 Skytrain (or Dakota as it was known in the RAF). The Dakotas of 76 Squadron were replaced by the same of 512 Squadron in July 1945, before 512 Squadron left in October 1945.
After the departure of 512 Squadron, the base was reduced to "care and maintenance" status with just a small number of men to look after it. Part of the airfield was also used as store for surplus bombs.

- April – June 1943 Group Captain D E L Wilson RAAF.[lower-alpha 2]
- June 1943 – early 1944 Group Captain G S Hodson RAF
- 1944–1945 Group Captain J E Pelly-Fry RAF
In 1951, with the Korean War still in progress, the decision was taken to expand the number of stations used for flying training. Holme was one of the airfields chosen, and in March 1952 No. 14 Advanced Flying Training School (14 AFTS) was re-formed at Holme, flying Airspeed Oxford and Percival Prentice aircraft. This use of the airfield did not last long, and 14 AFTS was disbanded in January 1953.
The station was then handed over to the USAF while the proposed main airfield for the USAF in Yorkshire, Elvington was under development. The USAF use did not last long, and the airfield was returned to the RAF in 1957; however, the USAF had lengthened the runways, including extending Runway 12/30 to 2,000 yards (1,829 m).
Blackburn and British AerospaceEdit
Surplus to RAF requirements, Holme was leased to Blackburn Aircraft Ltd for use as a test base from 1958. The location was convenient for Blackburn's main factory at Brough Aerodrome, only 16 miles (25.7 km) away, where the runway was not long enough for use by the new aircraft Blackburn was then working on, most especially the Blackburn Buccaneer. The use of Holme passed through Blackburn's acquisition by Hawker Siddeley, and subsequently British Aerospace, until the latter ceased use of Holme in December 1983.
Most of the buildings still stand, and are used as an industrial estate. A memorial to the wartime squadrons stands at the main entrance.

The approximate failure mileage was 115,000. I told him that my coworker told me about the electrical window on the right side. In this case, the coil pack detected as malfunctioning is located above cylinder number 2. I am very angry with Toyota for not addressing this issue, especially since others have experienced it and it is dangerous. The number of ignition coils in the car depends on the car engine, model and year.
Your engine may stall, sputter, lack power, or have trouble starting. P0353 code definition The P0353 code is a generic powertrain code related to the ignition system or an. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. I will change lanes thinking my car will accelerate to pass someone and it will just drop down to 30mph! Car alarm would not activate. At 190,000 miles this is to be expected. Since 1971, Karlyn Industries has supplied the automotive aftermarket with high-quality ignition and suspension parts.
Replacement brand parts are the most affordable solution for all of your replacement needs! There was some red colored dust on all four old coils. I have to drive downtown for nursing school, it takes roughly 20-30 minutes. Need help with a P0352 code? When replacing ignition coils it is best to have them replaced all at once. There was no police or fire report filed. We provide incredibly reasonable prices on quality parts.
What causes the P0352 code?. This is so dangerous and I do not understand why this has not been addressed sooner. Given the price and Amazon's guarantee, I do not see how you could go wrong. Established in 1908, Walker is renowned in the automotive aftermarket for manufacturing a full line of exhaust system parts. We only use the highest grade materials. Save your time and money,there are better options on amazon. Mike had told me that it wouldn't be covered.
Currently, it does not have 50k. The mechanic replaced pressure solenoid valve. The approximate failure mileage was 114,820. My vehicle has all required repairs or maintenance completed as scheduled and my vehicle has not even made it to 80,000 miles. Currently, it does not have 50K. Then have to call a tow truck to pull u home. I took it and had a diagnostic test run, it said one of the ignition coils was faulty.
In bad weather, the problem is absolutely terrible. Due to this issue, I have almost been in a crash. In limited instances, if cracking occurs on particular solder points or varistors, the engine could stop while the vehicle is being driven which may increase the risk of a crash. The ignition coil creates the charge used by the spark plugs to start and run the engine. At a fraction of the cost of other ignition coils, I was a bit skeptical, but I purchased anyway. Measuring the Hertz signal will help you determine if the Engine Control Module is faulty, or if there is an interruption in the coil pack circuit, such as corrosion build up or damaged wiring.
These ignition coils were an exact fit for my car and were incredibly easy to install. The driver has to manually correct the wheel every time. I was impressed with the quality construction. How Serious is the P0353 Code? A powerful voltage, generated in the secondary wiring, is applied directly to each spark plug. We only sell parts from trusted brands like so that you can find quality parts you can count on. Due to this issue, I have almost been in a crash. This code is known to cause an engine misfire, which will damage or clog the catalytic convertor if not addressed quickly enough.
The manufacturer was notified of the failure. I have read of others experiencing similar issues. During inclement weather, the vehicle would not start. Intermotor® is the import leader by design. The worst part is no one knows what is wrong. Accel has over four decades of designing and manufacturing race-winning fuel and ignition systems.

Two former back office assistants of Bernard Madoff were arrested Thursday, after the Securities and Exchange Commission Thursday charged the employees with helping to create phony account statements for his multibillion dollar fraud.
Annette Bongiorno, 62, a long-time administrative assistant, was arrested at her home in Boca Raton, Florida. Joann Crupi, 49, was arrested at her home in Westfield, New Jersey.
The federal regulator, in complaints filed in U.S. District Court in New York, said that Bongiorno created false books and records to abet the Ponzi scheme; and that Crupi helped decide which accounts to cash out when the fraud was on the verge of collapsing.
The SEC suits and arrests come 13 months after allegations were filed by investor Jay Wexler against Bongiorno and her staff. As reported last December by Securities Technology Monitor ("How Bernie Made Basket Cases of His Customers' Accounts"), the Oct. 20, 2009, suit filed by Wexler accused Bongiorno with, among other things, researching stock and options data in order to generate "tickets showing fictitious trades."
The SEC Said Bongiorno misled investors in telephone conversations and through account statements and trade confirmations that "reported securities transactions that never happened and positions that never existed."
Bongiorno also created false trades in her own accounts at Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities that enabled her to cash out millions of dollars more than she deposited.
From 1975 through December 2008, Bongiorno deposited approximately $920,000 into her accounts, but withdrew $14.5 million, the SEC said. Bongiorno also received salary and bonuses ranging from $200,000 a year between 1995 and 2006 to $623,000 in 2007.
The SEC said Crupi, who worked for Madoff from July 1983 until December 2008, was responsible for supervising the primary bank account used in BMIS's investment advisory operations.
When the fraud was on the verge of collapse, Crupi helped decide which accounts should be cashed out and prepared checks for those selected investors, many of them who were friends or family of Madoff. Crupi prepared checks worth $350 million "for these selected investors from the Main Ponzi Scheme Account,,'' the SEC said, while other investors were ignored.
"Bongiorno and Crupi helped create an elaborate edifice of fake accounts, fake trades, and fake profits," said George S. Canellos, Director of the SEC's New York Regional Office, in a statement. "Without their active and ongoing assistance, Madoff's world of lies would have been unsustainable."
According to the SEC's complaint against Bongiorno filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Bongiorno created trades that were chosen with the benefit of hindsight to generate large "gains" in BMIS accounts. The trades and positions reported in investor accounts, however, were fictional.
Crupi, hired in 1983 as a keypunch operator, had control over two important aspects of the BMIS fraud, the SEC alleged: handlign the primary bank account used in the Ponzi scheme and creating false trading portfolios and account statements purportedly used in a hedging strategy.
Among other things, the SEC's complaints seek financial penalties and court orders requiring Bongiorno and Crupi to disgorge their gains.

Whether you’re looking for water flow meters for irrigating your farm, or for industrial or municipal needs, with some research you will find the right one for your needs.
Before we get started, let’s make sure we’re starting off with a clear understanding of your project needs. Remember, the basis of good flow meter selection is a clear understanding of the requirements of the particular application. A little homework on the front end will prevent a lot of headaches after the fact. You can visit LKI AS, online portal where you can learn everything about water flow meters and their applications and where you can buy the highest quality water flow meters.
The checklist is below. Please note that the checklist is usually a little longer, but we’re operating under the assumption that the type of liquid is already known – water – and because we know the liquid is water, we already know it’s specific gravity and viscosity.
Here is the checklist:
- Are you going to be measuring rates and/or the total flow through the flow meter?
- Will the water coming through the flow meter be clean?
- Will someone be reading the meter locally, or do you need the meter to send out an electronic signal to be read remotely?
- Make sure you know the minimum and maximum flow rates for the flow meter.
- Know the minimum and maximum process pressure.
- Know the minimum and maximum process temperature.
- If the flow meter will be used in a process application, do you know the size of the pipe?
Some other factors to take into account when choosing your water flow meter include the skillsets/familiarity of your personnell with the devices, how much experience they’ve had with calibration and maintenance of the devices, the availability of additional parts if needed, and if you’ve used flow meters before, how long does one usually last in your environment (failure rate/history). Whatever you do, don’t try to pick a water flow meter based solely on price, or choose one on price first and then try to convince yourself it will work. In the long run, it is always more cost effective to select the correct water flow meter for the application than to choose one for the price.
One last tip for choosing a water flow meter: if you have the choice between a water flow meter with moving parts and a water flow meter with no moving parts, you’re always better off with the meter that has no moving parts. Now, because the sensitivity of the readings between the two types of meters differ, your given application may not be suited for a meter with no moving parts; however, if your needs allow for it, always go for the least complicated solution.

Maharashtra Government would set up a chain of medical shops across the state that would sell cheap and generic medicines to people from the lower income group, the Legislative Council was informed today.
The Government will also “positively consider” providing subsidy for life-saving drugs so that they are not out of reach of the needy people, Food and Civil Supplies Minister Girish Bapat said.
Currently, NGOs and private institutions buy generic medicines and make them available for those having BPL cards.
But now the Government will procure these drugs and make them available for the poor, he said.
“The Government will buy generic medicines and also make them available to people through a chain of shops to be set up across the state,” he said while replying to a calling attention motion.
Speaking on the motion, Sanjay Dutt (Congress) raised the issue of spurious medicines being sold to patients in the state.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is unable to keep a check on all shops as many posts in the department are lying vacant.
“When the FDA conducted a surprise check on 281 Government hospitals and healthcare centres and examined around 2,000 medicines, it found that 335 of these medicines were spurious,” Dutt said.
He said “12.36 per cent of the medicines coming in the state from Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand and Karnataka were found to be of low quality. Consumption of these drugs would have disastrous effect on patients. But FDA is not being able to keep a watch on incoming medicines as they are understaffed.”

What Is Indoor Gardening?
What Is Indoor Gardening?
Indoor gardening can best be described as completely overcoming the lack of natural space by creating an artificial garden environment inside your house. It is beneficial for those living in homes or apartments where there is no room to garden. It’s also perfect for gardeners who would still like to have fresh produce during the cold winter months. I’ll take you through the basics on how to setup your indoor garden, as well as the supplies you’ll need to accomplish it!
How to Setup Your Indoor Garden
Ten years ago if someone asked me “what is indoor gardening,” I’d probably just have sighed and replied, “Place a plant in the windowsill and water.” Although this is the basic idea, there is much more that you will want to consider when setting up an indoor garden of your own. Planning ahead of time will save you a lot of headache down the road!
- Natural or artificial lighting: Your first step to setting up your garden is to determine your source of light. Successful indoor gardens can be built in brightly lit window sills. South facing windows are the best, but healthy gardens can also be maintained in East and West facing windows. If you face North or just don’t have available sunlight, artificial grow lighting can be used. I’ll cover more on these below.
- Soil or hydroponics: The great thing about indoor gardening is that it allows you the gardener the ability for total customization. Both soil and hydroponics offer advantages to the indoor gardener.
- Research, research, research: With the right amount of time and care, almost any plant can be successfully grown in indoor environments. You’ll want to research and find out what crops will fit into your space and lighting requirements. Herb gardens are perfect for small spaces and even low light conditions. On the other hand, crops such as tomatoes and beans will need much more space and higher lighting needs.
Supplies You'll Need:
Now that you’ve planned out your garden, you’ll need to pick up supplies to get growing!
- Lighting: For those who have to use artificial lighting, the good news is that there are endless options for grow lights. Before I name a few, it’s always good to keep in mind that you’ll need about 100 watts of lighting for every 18”x18” patch of garden. If you looking for cheap grow lighting, the best way to go is to purchase spiral CFL bulbs from your local superstore. These can be purchased in many spectrums and do a decent job at growing indoor gardens. The more expensive route is to go online or to a local grow store and purchase lighting units specific to indoor gardens. Metal Halide, High Pressure Sodium and High Output Compact Fluorescent lighting units are all very efficient and will do a great job in providing the right amount of light for your garden!
- General Supplies: For soil gardeners, you’ll want to pick up a premium organic potting soil and either purchase or recycle containers for your plants to grow in. For those who are going the hydroponic route, head to your local hydroponics store and have them show you around the different products available to see what will work for you.
Now that you know how to answer the question, “what is indoor gardening,” you’ll be able to overcome the limits of any concrete jungle and setup your very own indoor garden! Good luck and best wishes on all your gardening adventures.

Traffic worries delay Upper St. Clair project
Traffic concerns put a major development in Upper St. Clair on hold a little longer.
The planning commission last week again delayed approval of Siena at St. Clair, a mix of houses, shops and a Whole Foods store that would be built at the former Consol Energy headquarters on Route 19. A decision could occur when a traffic study is updated to consider the impact of a Target store that recently opened at South Hills Village mall, across from the proposed development.
“(The township) staff's questions were mostly technical things. Could they clarify these numbers or that chart?” township planning director Scott Brilhart said.
Neighbors along Fort Couch Road say traffic backs up far along their street during rush hour and the holiday season, and they worry the development would make things worse. Engineers for 1800 Washington Road Associates, the developers, say they likely would add turn lanes on Fort Couch and establish a small island outside the development's secondary entrance on Fort Couch so vehicles could only make right turns into or out of the development.
“(Project architect) Justin (Cipriani) came to our house, met with us and a few neighbors,” said Randy Shaffer, who lives on Fort Couch. “He said they'd keep the rest of our concerns in mind going forward.”
Meanwhile, another development on a large former farm will go before the full Board of Commissioners April 1. Officials will weigh two builders' final plans for the former Bedner Farm off Cook School Road. There will not be another public hearing on the plans — the master plan for the development was vetted during several meetings last spring — but the public can still comment during the commissioners' meeting.

CHICAGO – Friday marks the annual celebration of Juneteenth, and state Rep. La Shawn K. Ford, D-Chicago, is asking residents to take a moment to remember those who have been lost to racist violence.
“Today is a day of reflection, and a reminder of the continuous and daily struggle to fight racism in this country,” said Ford. “This year, in the wake of a widespread movement to combat police brutality and a renewed effort to dismantle systemic racism, Juneteenth is a stark reminder of the history of our nation and of the fight for equality that must continue.”
Juneteenth recognizes the announced ending of slavery by Union forces in Texas on June 19, 1865, years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation had outlawed slavery in rebellious territories that included Texas. Ratification of the 13th Amendment later that year would finally end slavery in all parts of the country, including areas not initially covered by the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth would become the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States.
This year, flags in Illinois are being lowered on Juneteenth to pay respect to those who have lost their lives to hate and racism. Ford is appreciative of the gesture, and is encouraging Gov. J.B. Pritzker to continue to take action through executive order and establish an Illinois Office of Diversity and Inclusion to focus on challenges that face the Black community in Illinois. Ford has suggested a framework for a task force to consider and develop solutions, and his outline can be found at https://www.lashawnkford.com/download/FORDpr-2020-06-05-Ford-Promotes-Rapid-Relief-African-American-Task-Force.pdf.
“The lowered flags are a reminder of the terrible toll that racism has had on people and the need to not only think about these issues, but to address them as well,” said Ford. “I want to thank Governor Pritzker for directing flags to be lowered, and I want to thank each and every individual who is doing their part to fight against hate to build a better country for everyone. Our work, however, is not done yet as Black people are continuing to die and be left behind. I encourage the governor to review my proposal and to lead like Lincoln.”

The presidency struggled on Thursday to defend why former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan were forced to take pay cuts while their older other contemporaries were also being owed 10 months salary arrears.
Addressing a team of visiting lawmakers who were on a working visit, the Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF) acknowledged that former Presidents Goodluck Jonathan, Olusegun Obasanjo, General Ibrahim Babangida, Alhaji Shehu Shagari, and others had not been paid their salaries by the Federal Government since January this year.
This revelation which came as a rude shock to lawmakers on the committee of Federal Character and Inter-Governmental Affairs, was unearthed when they queried the delay in payment of emoluments to former Heads of State.
Ripples Nigeria reliably gathered that the non-payment of former presidents is as a result of lack of approval which ought to be given by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Sources said that payment schedule had severally been sent for the President’s approval to assess funds in the service wide vote for the purpose, but all attempts in that direction were to no avail.
Giving his own version of explanation into why former Presidents were owed by the Federal Government, the SGF, Babachir David Lawal, attributed same to the unavailability of funds in service wide votes for salaries of ex-presidents.
Lawal said: “There is a Department responsible for payment of former Presidents. Presently funds not available in service wide votes to do that. We are aware there was a protest in Bayelsa state that the former President was not paid, but we’ve explained that he’s not the only one affected.
“Others affected are Inter religious council, Traditional rulers council and so on. For some reason, we have been writing and writing, but there has been no response. And there is presently no money to pay them.”
However, the Senators who were not swayed by the explanation, kicked against the non-payment of the former Presidents and also insisted that joint efforts be made between the office of the SGF and the committee towards finding a solution to the problem which they described as unfortunate.
The lawmakers who took turns to slam the SGF over the development, also emphasized the need to draw the attention of the Budget Office and Ministry of Finance to the development with a view to having same addressed immediately.
One of the lawmakers who is the Vice Chairman of the committee, Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi, described the non-payment of former presidents as abnormal.
“What we have seen here is an abnormality. Before referring any matter to the National Assembly, it is a function of the executive to appropriate funds. Therefore, the SGF should understand that there is something wrong in this office that must be addressed.
“There is no way you can run the expenses of this office without cash backing. We definitely have to draw the attention of the budget office and ministry of finance to the problems,” Senator Hunkuyi said.
On his path, former Governor of Sokoto state and lawmaker representing Sokoto North in the Senate, Senator Aliyu Wamakko, kicked vehemently against the non-payment of former Presidents by the office of the SGF.
“We can understand if former president Goodluck Jonathan has not being paid because he just left office. But for someone like Shagari, who lives from hand to mouth is something I can’t understand. This development is really unfortunate; It doesn’t indicate seriousness, and it doesn’t indicate fairness,” he said.
Attempting to persuade the lawmakers who expressed outright disappointment at the development, the SGF explained: “When I got into this office, there was a lot of money in this account, but there was no TSA.”
“Before the government left office, they jacked up salaries. We told former President Jonathan and Obasanjo that they cannot earn twice what the others were earning. So we told them we wanted to review it, and we did. So they now earn what the others earn as well.
“When I came into office, there was N1.5 billion in the account. We had payment of all liabilities which came to 700 million. Then we wrote to the President to return what was left to the TSA. That was how we came back to a zero balance.

Competition will mitigate pricing pressures generated by increasingly strict fuel-economy standards, says Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. Inc's president and COO.
Jim Lentz makes the calming statement following his upbeat address at the dealer covention's opening session.
“Regulation will drive up the price of cars,” he tells journatlists. “As we push to the 35.5 mpg (6.7 L/100 km) by 2016 and then whatever it's going to be up until 2025, that's going to drive cost up (and) it will drive price up.”
But the story does not end there. “You've got to remember, we are still an extremely competitive industry,” Lentz says. “There's still going to be tremendous competition and different availability of products for customers.”
He is skeptical of claims the federal government will recommend a bogey of 62 mpg (3.8 L/100 km) in the coming years, a notion put forward by government analysts in October following the release of a federal study.
The study says a fleet-wide average of 62-mpg is attainable. Lentz expects the next benchmark will not be set until the government consults with industry stakeholders.
“Everyone would love to have higher mileage,” Lentz says. “If we could do it today, we'd do it today. But we've got to understand how feasible it is and what the cost is going to be to the consumer.”
Meanwhile, Jeff Schuster, executive director-global forecasting J.D. Power and Associates tells dealers electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and hybrid-electric vehicles will account for 5 million units of volume in the U.S. by 2020.

My car is in the shop getting 3.90 gears putt in as we speak. I was wondering is there a special way to break them in??:headscratch: and how many miles should i run it before i really put them to the test? Thanks
there is no need at all to change the fluid after 500 miles thats total BS. When you buy a new car with 0 miles do you change the gear oil after 500 miles no. dont put out incorrect info if your not sure.Drive for 500 miles or so, without pounding the throttle and no gear assisted stops....after that get ur differential oil changed cuz there will be alot of metal shards that shave off from the wear pattern breaking in that you wanna get out of there...i reccomend full synthetic after the 500....be sure to put in conventional oil during the break in period to allow proper heat cycles, its not a good idea to jump on the gas right out of the shop because the metal isnt heat treated and it can warp under high heat and pressure before break in is done. full synthetic oil will keep it to cool during break in which is bad so remember conventional oil first 500 miles then ur free to ride...
there is no need at all to change the fluid after 500 miles thats total BS. When you buy a new car with 0 miles do you change the gear oil after 500 miles no. dont put out incorrect info if your not sure.
drive 20 miles park and let cool repeat that a couple times and your good to go. its never failed me. like I said before gears are made to put in and go.
In my 25 years of turning wrenches I never heard such nonsense.
stock gears cleaned at factory what are you smoking? so they spin them for 500 miles before installing the rear then clean them?:headscratch:yes change oil....
after 500 miles change it.
it will get gear shards, dust deposits, gear covering, ect ect off.
stock gears are cleaned at the factory.
i also use full synthetic, personally i used RP. its quite easy to do
put car up on jack stands.
unbolt rear cover
crack it open with a screw driver and let drain
add new RTV
in the v6 tech in my DIY garage theres a list on how to do it on a V6, if you decide to do this let me know if the measurements are the same?
but def change oil!
and id wait 500 to be safe
like i said everyone will say somethign different do what you feel is right

The Theme of Ancestry in Alexie's Poem "What the Orphan Inherits" and Rose's Poem "Genealogical Research"
1086 Words5 Pages
“If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors. All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the continuation of each of these people” (Hanh). The defining of a person begins first from their ancestry. The importance of family is vital in every person’s life and the reason for this is because families are the group structure the mostly in every cases tries to be and do the best for each other. Sherman Alexie and Wendy Rose are both poets that have expressed the characteristics of their ancestry and culture in their inspirational and touching poems. Many of them are involved with the critics of personal experiences they have had, and their ideas are portrayed in a meaningful and well structured way. They also describe the way the society views them for being Indians or Indian descendant. To reach a poignant and deep point in the poems, the poets use several literary techniques and imagery in a way that the reader can visualize every description made in the works. Sherman Alexie’s poems and Wendy Rose’s poems such as “What the Orphan Inherits” and “Genealogical Research” describe the aspects that define an Indian. Sherman Alexie’s thematic is usually about the how the Indian society works, whereas Wendy Rose focuses more in personal experiences and her descendants. These two poems have diverse differences and similarities in their treatment of ideas about family.
Both of the poems refer to the vast characteristics of Indians. They demonstrate the facets that make up the Indian culture. Regardless of the different styles of each author, they can both be seen similar because they come from the same ethnic group. The poems tone and mood a...

Both authors use assorted combinations of imagery that make the poems have a final touch of impact in the reader. As a thought, family is the most important thing a person has in their lives. Family is one of the things that determines a person’s fate and destiny in life.

Sberbank and Bank of Moscow are to allocate $17 million to the project. Source: PhotoXPress
In late May 2014, the Moscow mayor's office announced a tender for setting up a groundbreaking bike rental system in the city. Planned along the lines of similar networks already in existence in other large cities such as London and New York, the system will allow Muscovites to pick up bikes from stations situated around the city and use them for a small fee. When they have finished using the bikes, they can return them to the nearest station.
The contract for the bike rental system consists of two parts. The first covers costs for setting up a rental infrastructure: The starting price of the contract is 450 million rubles ($3 million). In addition, 600 million rubles ($17 million) more will be required to purchase 4,500 bikes and set up 300 rental stations.
These funds will be allocated by major Russian banks, Sberbank and Bank of Moscow. The banks will not be receiving any profit from this, but each bike will carry their logos, making the project part of the banks' advertising strategy.
"This scheme was tried by Citibank in New York City, which launched its Citi Bike bicycle rental in the bank's corporate colors,” says managing director of ZIP Realty investment company Yevgeny Skomorovsky. [In fact similar networks have been in existence for several years - Barclays Bank in the UK launched a bike rental program back in July 2010, for example - and the New York project (began May 2013) is almost certainly itself a copy - Editor’s note] “In 2013, Bank of Moscow copied the idea and launched an identical project in Moscow, even calling it Citybike too. The project has turned out to be a success and now Sberbank has joined in."
Indeed, the first bike rental project was launched in Moscow on June 1, 2013, when the mayor's office invited Muscovites to abandon their cars for the sake of bikes in order to reduce traffic jams.
Funding for the pilot project, 100 million rubles ($2.8 million), was allocated by Bank of Moscow. The bikes were supplied by the Czech company Homeport, and the rental chain was operated by a Bank of Moscow subsidiary called City Bike.
Over a period of 12 months, according to the city authorities, some 46,500 people rented a bike, making a total of 66,500 journeys, so the city has decided to expand the project. As a result, Moscow will become Europe's third largest city in terms of the number of rental bicycles (4,500), after Paris (14,000) and London (8,000). Interestingly, the current operator of the bike rental system, City Bank, will take part in the new tender.
The bicycles to be rented to Muscovites as part of the bike share scheme will be quite heavy (21 kg) and will be fitted with a terminal with a keyboard. Currently, payment can be made only via a terminal at a bike station, whereas with the new bikes, it can be done just by touching a card to the terminal on the handle or by entering a pin number received online. A two-hour ride will cost 120 rubles ($3.5), while a 30-minute ride will be free.
According to experts, the main obstacles facing bike rental in Moscow are the same as in New York City: a lack of bicycle lanes and heavy traffic. For example, the need to set up bike lanes in Moscow was first discussed only this year.
"We have started building bicycle lanes when refurbishing main motorways," Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin told journalists in May 2014. It is for this reason, according to Maxim Volkov, an expert with UFS IC, that the prospects of creating a thriving bike rental system in Moscow are rather vague and unclear.
"The main reason is the lack of bicycle lanes or, indeed, any bike-related infrastructure. Our big cities, including Moscow, are not used to this type of transport. Besides, the idea itself is further complicated by the weather factor," Volkov explains. In Moscow, bicycles can be used for just half a year, from late spring to early fall, with the rest of the year ruled out by freezing temperatures and snow on the roads.
Having said that, according to FINAM investment company analyst Anna Mishutina, the city's transport infrastructure development program envisages the construction of up to 73 km of bicycle lanes by the end of 2016.
"On the one hand, the lack of infrastructure is impeding development,” says the head of the Institute of Transport Economy and Transport Policy under the Higher School of Economics, Mikhail Blinkin. “On the other, Moscow is not the safest place to drive. Sidewalks are packed with pedestrians, while the sides of the roads are full of parked cars. Thus, there is simply no space left for bicycles."
This, he adds, gives grounds to skeptics to doubt the success of the bike rental project. Yet, as Blinkin points out, “in the city center and for distances of 5-8 km, the bike is the fastest means of transport."

Let me begin by saying I am no man expert (man-pert, if you will). In fact, I’m not very good with men (despite having my first boyfriend in Grade 4 – we held hands). I’m terrible at the “game.” Usually, my past boyfriends have started out from friendships. BUT what I do know is mental illness, especially how it interacts with dating. It’s a new world of dating out there but even if you do have a mental illness you deserve love too! That being said, you really need to go out there with a plan, a plan to protect yourself mentally, emotionally and spiritually otherwise this new dating game can really derail you! And that’s no fun. Here are some tips and tricks I think will help you before you dive into the crazy world that is dating in 2018.
First, let’s talk about the reality of dating in 2018. Due to technology, people are a bit more disposable (that includes you! No matter how special you think you are). People have hundreds of options literally at their fingertips and for better or worse you can’t necessarily get emotionally involved. Men may not be ready for a relationship or want one, but that doesn’t mean they’re not going to message you or sleep with you. You can’t really take what men say to heart.
Timing is also a huge factor – with everyone having access to so many people not a lot of people are doing the self-reflection needed to perhaps take a break and are instead pursuing what they can get – short term pleasure. Technology can also make you feel closer faster, which isn’t necessarily a good thing. It can make you feel safe to let your emotions grow, only to end in heartbreak. And then there is ghosting. Ghosting was really always a thing but instead of ignoring their messages you simply just didn’t call back. Technology now makes that rejection more tangible in a sense (seeing that unread message or seeing them active on social media but ignoring you) and you know he’s likely off to his other choices and you just didn’t make the cut. For all these reasons your emotions can really be toyed with and you need to be prepared.
Make sure you’re strong and in a good place. Looking for reassurance? Support? Someone to help you get out of your rut? Someone to essentially rescue you? Tell you that “you is kind, smart and important?” Dating is not the answer. A man will not complete you or save you and if he does this might cause problems down the line. Take the time alone to work on yourself and your mental health. You should never be looking for happiness in a relationship. It’s also important to have a thick skin with the nature of dating in 2018. You cannot go out there being vulnerable.
Know your weaknesses. No one is perfect and we all have our relationship/dating faux pas. For me, I tend to fall too quickly. I’m pretty much that excited puppy dog that wants to play with everyone. As you can imagine that can be a horrible mindset in today’s dating climate. Acknowledge your weaknesses and make sure you’re taking them into account, especially if they can make you susceptible to heartbreak.
Decide what you want. Do this even before you get on the apps or give out your number in person. Assess your situation. Are you looking for fun (totally okay!) or a serious boyfriend? This will cut out a lot of the confusion and really help you sort out your emotions and help you figure out what’s acceptable. It will also help you avoid getting hurt. Personally, I would not recommend dating apps if you are looking for something more serious, try the dating websites for men who are looking for relationships.
Be Realistic. Men are going to ghost. This is the reality. But before you cry tears of loss, stop to assess. Did you really like him that much? Did you even know him that well? Did you have anything in common? Were you attracted to him really or the idea of him? Were there signs it wasn’t going to work anyway? (He might be gay, married, racist, too young, too old, looking for a VISA, of another religion, on the rebound etc. – I’ve been in most of these situations DM me for details) I think there is also a tendency with depression, anxiety and OCD to only see certain facts. It can be overwhelming at times, why are all these men playing games? But have you done any rejection yourself? Look at the entire picture of your dating journey and all the positives and negatives. Learn your lessons and accept it all as an experience.
Listen to what he is saying. There’s a scene in How to be Single where the charming womanizing bartender swears you can be honest with a woman and she still won’t hear you. He then walks around the bar to women he’s sleeping with and says things straight up to them such as “I’m really not interested and will never settle down with you.” The women giggle in response and seem oblivious to what he’s saying. Now, it won’t always be this obvious but a man often drops hints to what he’s looking for. If he’s asking what you think of casual dating or isn’t asking for your number or not setting an actual date to see you – he’s probably not that interested. Listen to what he’s getting at and act accordingly.
Try to look at how you will feel in hindsight. This point is really just about sex. How will you feel about it afterwards, especially if he ghosts? Think twice. Is this the kind of guy who might ghost after sex? Will it devastate you if he bounces? If it will, don’t give up the goods.
Don’t take things personally. This is one I definitely struggle with, especially with my mental health issues. Your thoughts can really spiral out of control, what’s wrong with me? Why didn’t he like me? Am I not good enough, not pretty enough, not smart enough? Firstly, you have to accept not every guy is going to like you (and you’re not going to like all of them! There is power in realizing that), secondly it’s not always you. Maybe it’s not the right time for him and even he doesn’t know it. Maybe you truly just aren’t a good match, better you find that out sooner than later. Again, don’t take things to heart and you should be fine.
Have fun (Okay, 9 Tips & Tricks). Though dating in 2018 can be daunting, take breaks and enjoy yourself! Delete the apps for a period if you have to and come back to it. It’s also a way to find out what you want in a partner and learn about yourself. You’ll only be single for so long (God willing) so create memories, have jokes and get stories you can tell your children (or warn them about). In the meantime, live your life, your best life, in between these men and put your mental health first! I promise when you do find the one, it will be easy. There will be no questioning, no ghosting and no ambiguity. And the more mentally healthy you are when he comes along, the better!
A Warning: Some men, even though it may have ended badly, will want to stick around as “friends” even some as “friends with benefits” – I kid you not. It is a tempting situation but you really have to ask yourself who this benefits. Is this even a real friendship? Does he add value to your life? Will this deter you from finding the right one? Is he just keeping you around as a spare? Is it contributing to your mental health? Do what is best for you and only that.
A great rule if you’re feeling depressed about a dating situation gone wrong: The 5×5 Rule – if it’s not going to matter in 5 years, don’t spend more than 5 minutes upset by it. Trust me when I say you won’t think about most of these guys in 6 months to a year, especially if you keep dating. They will just become a story. Honestly, I give them all nicknames (The Prince, Barrie, Persia, The Politician etc.), it helps with giving them less value and more hilarity/lesson learned over time.
Watch “He’s Just Not That Into You” for dating hilarity and some more hard dating advice. I actually had to re-watch recently to give myself a refresher. I own it on DVD.

Danakil Depression Ethiopia
The Danakil Depression in Ethiopia is a fascinating destination for adventurous travelers seeking unique experiences. Located in the northeastern part of the country, this otherworldly landscape offers a glimpse into the raw power of nature and the resilience of life.
A tour of the Danakil Depression typically begins in the city of Mekele, where travelers gather before embarking on their journey. From there, a multi-day expedition takes visitors through a variety of awe-inspiring sights, including the Erta Ale volcano, Dallol sulfur springs, and the salt flats of Lake Assale.
One of the highlights of the Danakil Depression tour is the visit to Erta Ale, an active shield volcano known for its persistent lava lake. Trekking to the summit of Erta Ale is an unforgettable experience, as travelers witness the mesmerizing glow of molten lava against the night sky. Camping near the volcano allows visitors to fully immerse themselves in this extraordinary natural phenomenon.
Another remarkable feature of the Danakil Depression is the Dallol sulfur springs. These colorful and acidic hot springs create a surreal landscape, with vibrant hues of yellow, green, and red. The unique geological formations and the bubbling pools of sulfur make for incredible photo opportunities.
The tour also includes a visit to the salt flats of Lake Assale, where the local Afar people have been mining salt for centuries. Witnessing the traditional salt extraction process, with workers laboring under the scorching sun, is a humbling experience. The vast expanse of the salt flats, stretching as far as the eye can see, adds to the sense of awe and wonder.
