What could bring acclaimed Cuban music artist Alex Cuba here to Toronto from Vancouver… to perform for free… on very short notice?
The answer is, a benefit for one of the most loved entertainment personalities in Canada. Billy Bryans has the support of the top entertainment people in Toronto and across Canada, and he needs your support too.
Even if you wouldn’t know Billy to see him, if you have at any Cuban music based event… a little bit of the credit for all of it belongs to him. No-one has done more to make the scene what it is today.
From his stint as drummer with Parachute Club, to Brazilian music support, to Cuban music support, and much more… Billy has done it all in this town.
All proceeds will go to help with the costs of palliative care for Bryans as he deals with cancer for the second time.
“We’re really touched and amazed by how many musicians, dancers and producers are stepping forward to contribute — some who know Billy from 40 years ago and some from groups that Billy only started working with since his first round of cancer five years ago,” Lula Lounge’s Tracy Jenkins tells me. “The benefit is also a way for us to connect with all the other people in his world and to show him our love and appreciation.
The show is posted here, set for Lula Lounge Thursday evening April 19, 2012.
Confirmed performers include Alex Cuba, Laura Fernandez, Aline Morales, Samba Squad, Son Ache and dance troupes Bailaboogaloo and Casineros Unidos.
And if you can’t go, you can pay a little bit back to Billy for what he has done, by buying a ticket (click on the date), and sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.org… to say that you won’t be able to come to the show, but please make sure the proceeds of your tickets go to help Billy. They’ll be able to sell the seat again to someone else who wants to help…

We never had parsnips when we were kids. Nor rutabagas. And those two words are probably the funnest veggie words to say. So I'd say that I was deprived.
Not so much for rutabagas. When I did try them a few years ago, I decided I could take them or leave them. But parsnips were a real surprise. Roasted, they were surprisingly sweet. But it has been awhile, so I thought I'd try them again along with this vegetable variety I'm working through.
I got some ideas from a roasting recipe in my Cook's Illustrated, but since I didn't have all the ingredients, I just made something up with what I had. I tossed peeled and cut-up parsnips in some canola oil along with cut-up onions and celery. I seasoned it with salt and just a little something green; it might have been Italian seasoning or herbs de Provence. My idea was that I would toss in some hot chicken chunks after it was roasted to make a main dish out of it.
I've discovered the key to roasting vegetables in the oven is high, high heat, and a pre-heated cookie sheet. I love that sizzling sound when I strew the oily vegetables onto the 500 degree cookie sheet! Then I pop it back in the oven and cook it for about 20-25 minutes, without stirring.
Well, lo and behold, when I looked for those chicken pieces in the 'fridge, they weren't there any more! Thinking fast, I shredded up a wad of dill Havarti cheese, and when the vegetables came out of the oven, I put them in the serving bowl and piled the cheese on top. It melted down into the veggies ever so nicely, and I think the result was even better than it would have been with chicken!
One piece of 'nip that I ate seemed a little bitter, but the rest was fine. So maybe some parsnips turn out more bitter, just like some jalapenos are more fiery than their bin-mates. So if you ever do get a bitter piece of parsnip, don't let that turn you off this sweet and creamy root vegetable!

Herbs are some of the easiest plants to grow and maintain.
You can grow them indoors or outdoors, all year round and you don’t need sophisticated tools.
You can make an herb planter from items already in your home or some that you can buy for next to nothing at your local store.
Below are 10 cheap and easy DIY herb garden planter ideas:
Table of ContentsShow
1. Mason Jar Planter
The main challenge with growing herbs in mason jars is drainage.
Since the mason jars do not have holes in the bottoms and it can be difficult to cut one through the glass, there is no allowance for draining any excess water.
Be sure to provide just enough water, ensuring that you do not excessively soak the soil, or put stones or marbles in the bottom of the jar before adding in the potting soil to improve drainage and aeration.
You may source mason jars second-hand from a flea market, buy new ones on Amazon, or recycle canning jars from your kitchen.
They are small, which allows you to place the planter in your kitchen window for easy access to the herbs.
If you are looking to grow an indoor herb garden with variety, plant different types in separate jars.
2. Recycled Plastic Bottle Planter
Instead of tossing your plastic juice, milk, or water bottles into the trash, you can use them to grow herbs.
It is easy to make drainage holes in plastic bottle planters and they offer unlimited herb garden design options.
For instance, you can place them on a stand or windowsill, hang them on a wall, or suspend them from the ceiling. Depending on the size of the bottle, you can plant several types of herbs in one bottle.
You can also set up your plastic bottle planter to be self-watering.
Cut the bottle in two and put a little water in the bottom half. Turn the upper half upside down and place it in the lower half.
Ensure the bottle’s mouth reaches the water in the lower half of the bottle.
Add soil or potting mix in the top half and plant your herbs. The soil or potting mix will sip water from the lower half of the bottle making this planter self-watering.
3. Gutter Planter
Gutters make excellent racks for growing your herbs. Gutters offer more space than bottles and mason jars.
Your gutter herb garden can be large with several gutter tiers or small (a single 10-20-inch gutter rack).
You can mount the gutter on a wall or from the ceiling using ropes. You can also place the gutter racks on your patio or balcony.
4. Teacup Planter
If you have some old teacups that have been sitting idly and cluttering up your cabinet, it is time to put them to good use.
You can grow bushy herbs such as parsley and cilantro in a wide-mouth cup and smaller herbs such as oregano in narrow-mouth cups.
For a more attractive teacup indoor herb garden, use vintage cups, a color theme, or place the cups on matching saucers.
5. Bottle Top Tiered Vertical Planter
This herb garden design is functional, optimizes space, and is easy to set up.
All you need is a 10-15-inch by 1-meter-long piece of plywood, old plastic two-liter bottles, and screws or nails.
Cut the tops off the bottles. Hold each upside down and screw them into the plywood. You may set up the plywood vertically or horizontally depending on the space available or your preference.
Mount the plywood on a wall or suspend it using ropes.
Pots are among the most common planters for growing herbs indoors and outdoors.
They are available in different colors, shapes, materials, and sizes to suit your needs and style. Most come pre-drilled with a drainage hole so all you have to do is put in the potting mix and plant your herbs.
7. Fabric Shoe Organizer Planter
A fabric shoe organizer makes an excellent vertical planter.
Mount it against a wall, pour the potting mix into the shoe organizing slots, plant your herbs, and you are good to go. Since the slots are usually made of porous material, this type of planter offers good drainage.
In addition, this vertical herb garden is easy to maintain as you don’t have to bend or get down on your hands and knees to care for it.
8. Ladder Planter
A ladder planter functions as a frame to hold other DIY herb planters such as teacups, repurposed bottles, pots, gutters, etc.
All you need is four pieces of 3-6-feet-long wood, a hammer, and some nails to make a ladder planter.
Use two pieces of wood as the vertical frame of the ladder. Cut the other two pieces of wood to your preferred width to function as rungs. Include as many tiers as you need.
9. Old Wooden Crate Planter
Old (or new) wooden crates offer a rustic feel to your herb garden.
You can part them with dividers to grow different types of herbs in one crate. Crates that have gaps between the wood offer excellent drainage and aeration.
If the wooden crate is solid all around, drill small holes in the bottom and on the sides to improve drainage and aeration.
If it has wide gaps between the pieces of wood, you will need to install a heavy-duty lining or landscape fabric on its interior to hold in the potting mix and water. The lining also prevents the crate from rotting.
Make small holes in the lining to facilitate drainage and aeration.
10. Spice or Vegetable Rack Planter
Since a spice rack has lots of gaps, you will need to fill them up.
Line the sides and bottom of the rack with strips of paper grass. Then, fill the racks with soil or potting mix and plant the herbs of your choice.
You do not need to punch holes in the paper grass as it is porous.
You can grow and enjoy an indoor herb garden throughout the year by growing them in your home. Refer to the above 10 DIY herb garden planter ideas and implement one or more that are easily and cheaply accessible to you.

I took my time building this set. Each moment was happy memories made. I think the correct colors used the the bricks would have been helpful too. I was missing pieces but reach out to customer service. They correct this issue. The attention to detail to me is fantastic. This was my first purchase as adult. I knew I had to have.

There are three major and popular tribes in Nigeria and they are the Hausas, Yorubas, and the Igbos. Yorubas are the most educated among the three, the Igbos are industrious while the Hausas are into farming. However, the hatred and who’s who between the three has eaten up the country’s politics. This article will, therefore, identify the Most Wicked Tribes / Dangerous Tribes in Nigeria.
Nigeria is a heterogeneous country with over 371 ethnic groups making up the country. However, the predominant three of these tribes are three Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba.
The three major tribes are different from each other in character, discipline, and way of life. As such, the three found it difficult to tolerate each other.

Which Tribe is The Most Wicked Tribe in Nigeria?
List of The Most Dangerous Tribes in Nigeria
The Fulanis can be found in the northern part of the country and they’re the most wicked tribe in Nigeria. Several News reports had it in recent years that the Fulani herdsmen attacked and killed farmers in different villages just for their cattle to feed on the farmer’s farmland.
Ogoni is another ethnic group that is considered to be wicked and dangerous to relate unnecessary with. The people of Ogoni are known for killings, kidnapping, and all other kinds of illegal vices.
The wickedness in this part of the country is of no tongue. An ordinary #200 can make the people of Ogoni grow mad and wreak havoc.
The Igbos are seen and considered to be the wealthiest tribe in the whole of Nigeria. This is a result of their business sense, but yet, they are still one of the most dangerous and wicked tribes in Nigeria today.
Igbos love money and as such, they can do anything to get it. Even if they have to use their own family for ritual.
Don’t be confused, the Hausa tribe is distinct and different from the Fulanis and they are also wicked and dangerous to be offended. Hausas don’t forgive and forget and they can go to any length for revenge.
Hausa people can kill each other over small things. They love maiming whenever they’re fighting and they also dominated the deadly Boko Haram because of their ignorance and wicked soul.
The Yorubas may look pretty innocent and God’s fearing but their youths are one of the dangerous youths in the country. The Yorubas are fond of cult practices, child rape, kidnapping, corrupt politicians, using human parts for rituals, etc.

Worthy of mention on the list of the most wicked and dangerous tribes in Nigeria are the Ijaws. The people of Ijaw are in love with kidnapping oil workers who are usually foreigners.
The Edo tribe has the highest number of witches, cultists, kidnappers, and ogboni fraternity. All these social and illegal vices made them into the list of the most wicked ethnic groups or tribes in Nigeria.
The Esan people ethnic group can also be found in Edo state. The people of this tribe are usually core witches and cultists. They are so wicked that they are often at war with each other using any available diabolic means just to deal with each other.
The Ebira tribe is known for being aggressive, violent, and loud they always prefer to make use of their fist in place of a mouth. Rumour has it that a person from Ebira can kill over something that can’t even hold water.
Nupe /Tapa Tribe
Tapa people are full of magic. They are aggressive and don’t forgive easily. There are also dangerous to offend as they can kill using diabolic means without showing remorse.

Proposals for a multi-million pound sports centre in Caird Park have been resubmitted to the council’s planning department, following a Scottish Government u-turn.
Long-running plans to build a Regional Performance Centre for Sport — first identified as a requirement for Tayside by Sport Scotland in 2003 — were sent back to the drawing board at the end of 2016, following objections raised by the group Care for Caird and others.
The proposals were withdrawn at the last minute from a development management committee meeting in November 2016 after objectors requested a pre-determination hearing.
The Scottish Government then ordered a full environmental impact assessment be carried out on the Caird Park site in December, with Dundee FC — who were considering using the centre as a training ground — pulling out days later.
In June of this year, the Scottish Government wrote to the council changing their mind, telling the local authority they would not require a full environmental impact assessment.
The council conducted a new ecology survey in May of this year, which advised that no tree removal should be carried out during bird breeding season, between March 1 to August 31.
The report also notes that a check for signs of squirrel life should be conducted 48 hours prior to a tree being felled and that there were no signs of protected species otters and badgers, but given their foraging range it was not inconceivable either species could “move on to the site”.
The new plans for the RPCS include a hub building with 8-court sports hall, changing accommodation, performance suite, sports science suite, admin accommodation, café and conference facilities, a full size indoor 3G football pitch, full size outdoor 3G rugby and football pitch, a grass community football pitch, an upgraded athletics track, indoor athletics training building. an upgraded velodrome, an energy centre and on-site car parking.
Scottish Conservative North East MSP Liam Kerr said: “The Scottish Government seems to be all over the place on this.
“It has been disappointing to see the delays and changes to the project, but the fact remains that a new sport centre is a great opportunity for the people of Dundee and the whole region.
“The Government needs to work with the council constructively to make it happen.”
Amy Paterson, one of the founding members of the Care for Caird group, said: “We feel that the council are still ignoring all the issues that building over an open public green space will have on communities and are avoiding talking about DISC and all the other sports facilities we have in Dundee.
“Rationalisation of other sports facilities in Dundee will be required to aid this new sports centre and therefore communities will lose their local sports groups.
“We feel the council is still trying to push this complex ahead without evidence of us actually needing it, and are once again failing to give the appropriate information out to the public.”
Meanwhile, Councillor Stewart Hunter, who withdrew himself from any part of the decision making process regarding the centre, maintained his stance that he would remove himself from the chamber when the development management committee eventually meet to discuss the proposals.

Pinarello Dogma 65.1 Think2 – Team Sky
6 / 22
Since 1988, Pinarello has won a whopping ten Tours de France, by far the best record of any frame company in the modern era. This year, Team Sky’s Chris Froome will ride this Dogma 65.1 Think2 in his bid to win the Italian company it’s eleventh Tour. Like last year’s Tour de France champion, Bradley Wiggins, Froome prefers to use a custom elliptical chainring with his SRM power meter. The chainring’s bolt pattern forces Sky’s mechanics to use Shimano’s older 7800 crankset with the rest of Froome’s Dura-Ace Di2 9790 drivetrain.

In the misty mountains and lush forests of New Zealand, an extraordinary bird species captures the imagination of nature enthusiasts and conservationists alike. Meet the Takahe (Porphyrio hochstetteri), a flightless bird with a vibrant blue plumage, fascinating history, and a tale of survival against all odds. In this article, we will delve into the world of the Takahe, exploring its physical characteristics, historical significance, conservation efforts, and the hope it represents for the preservation of endangered species.
The Takahe is a large, robust bird that stands about 50 centimeters tall and weighs around 2.7 kilograms. Its most striking feature is its intense blue and green plumage, which contrasts with its red beak and legs. The bird’s sturdy build and reduced wings render it flightless, perfectly adapted for its terrestrial lifestyle. Takahe are known for their elongated toes and strong legs, allowing them to traverse their preferred alpine grassland habitats with ease.
Historical Significance and Rediscovery:
Believed to be extinct for more than 50 years, the Takahe became a symbol of loss and the devastating impact of human activities on biodiversity. However, in 1948, a small population of Takahe was discovered in the remote Murchison Mountains of Fiordland, providing hope for their survival. This momentous rediscovery ignited dedicated conservation efforts to protect and restore the species.
The Takahe faced numerous challenges to its survival, including habitat loss, predation by introduced mammals, and competition for resources with other species. In response, the New Zealand Department of Conservation (DOC) launched an ambitious recovery program to safeguard the Takahe’s future. The program involved habitat restoration, predator control initiatives, captive breeding, and careful monitoring of the population.
Captive Breeding and Population Growth:
Captive breeding played a pivotal role in saving the Takahe from extinction. Carefully selected birds were brought into specialized breeding facilities, where their eggs were incubated and chicks reared until they were ready for release into protected habitats. These efforts have been remarkably successful, with the Takahe population steadily increasing over the years. Today, several protected sites in New Zealand serve as Takahe sanctuaries, ensuring the long-term viability of the species.
The Takahe is not only a flagship species for conservation but also a keystone species in its habitat. Their grazing behavior and feeding preferences help maintain the alpine grasslands, preventing the encroachment of shrubs and maintaining a diverse ecosystem. By protecting the Takahe, we are also preserving a crucial part of New Zealand’s natural heritage.
Global Conservation Significance:
The story of the Takahe goes beyond New Zealand’s borders, serving as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts worldwide. It highlights the potential for species recovery and the role of dedicated organizations and individuals in preserving biodiversity. The success achieved with the Takahe offers hope and valuable lessons for other endangered species facing similar challenges.
The Takahe’s journey from near extinction to a thriving population is a testament to the power of conservation efforts and the determination of humans to protect our natural world. Through a combination of scientific research, captive breeding, habitat restoration, and predator control, the Takahe’s story serves as a beacon of hope for endangered species everywhere. By valuing and safeguarding these remarkable creatures, we are taking crucial steps towards preserving our planet’s rich biodiversity for generations to come.

Add Gwen Stefani to the list of Obama's celebrity supporters!
It was recently announced the No Doubt singer is hosting a fundraiser at her Beverly Hills home on Aug. 12 with the First Lady. A family of four can join the duo for some kid-friendly fun for a mere $1000, or opt to make a $5000 donation and get the chance to personally meet and mingle with Obama's wife and the blonde beauty.
Stefani is no stranger to philanthropy, either! She donated $1 million to help children affected by the 2011 tsunami and earthquake in Japan, and has also auctioned off numerous items from her wardrobe to benefit children's causes.
We wonder if Kingston, Zuma, Sasha, and Malia will be in attendance?

I saw Michael Grandage's last play at the Donmar on Monday night and gave it four stars because, for me, there was something missing that I couldn't quite put my finger on.
Now the professionals are having their say so what did they think?
Paul Taylor, The Independent hasn't given a star rating but seems to have loved it:
Redmayne is, to my mind, the best Richard since Sam West took on the role in Steven Pimlott's radically updated version at the RSC.
Overall a glowing production but thinks Redmayne's inexperience with Shakespeare shows:
Like many Shakespearean tyros, he also falls into the trap of seeking to illustrate virtually every line with an appropriate hand gesture: thus when he offers "to write sorrow in the bosom of the Earth" he mimes a signature forgetting that the potency of the idea lies in the words.
A chunk of the review is about the legacy of Grandage at the Donmar but of the play itself Redmayne impresses:
In the last act, when Richard recognises in his prison cell that “I wasted time, and now doth time waste me”, Redmayne’s Richard suddenly discovers a moving depth of emotion and self-knowledge. My only quibble is that the actor overdoes the gaping mouth of a king who can’t quite believe the insolence of his subjects. It makes his Richard II resemble something on a fishmonger’s slab.
This Richard II contains some good performances and has excellent moments but fails to capture all the rich complexity of the play.
Libby Purves, The Times (£) ****
Redmayne’s Richard is all eloquent, self-dramatising kingliness, yet beneath it lies the trapped, vacillating self-doubt of a man who knows that the role he was born to is beyond him. Redmayne unpeels this pain, desperate self-delusion and vanity with great delicacy. Andrew Buchan as Bolingbroke is macho in warlike leather, his watchful stillness a tough secular contrast to Richard’s theatrical posing.
Mr Redmayne certainly delivers an interesting performance. This Richard is not as tyrannical as some. He has the sort of mouth which opens and shuts a couple of times before passing judgment.
When he gives up the throne to Henry Bolingbroke (Andrew Buchan, rather good) he succumbs to little more than petulance. With a really top-notch Richard we surely pity him a little by the end.
That didn’t happen for me in this production.
From these reviews Richard II gets an average of 3.4 stars out of five so not everyone was wholly convinced. And here are the photo's from the opening night party in case you are interested.


* On July 11, the Texas Court of Appeals for the Fifth District in Dallas affirmed the trial court’s ruling dismissing in its entirety a defamation lawsuit filed by Mohamed Mohamed on his own behalf and on behalf of his 15-year old son, Ahmed Mohamed. Ahmed is better known as “Clock Boy” for bringing a hoax clock bomb to his Irving, Texas middle school in September 2015 and causing a bomb scare that led to his arrest and suspension from school.
We filed the motion to dismiss on behalf of the Center for Security Policy (“CSP”) and Jim Hanson, two of the defendants in the defamation case, which also named as defendants Ben Shapiro, the local Fox affiliate, Glenn Beck, and Beck’s production company. All claims against all defendants were ultimately dismissed. The Texas Appellate Court also affirmed our award of attorneys’ fees and costs.
Mohamed had sued Hanson and CSP for statements Hanson had made on Beck’s program about the connection between the Clock Boy hoax bomb affair and the attendant media frenzy created in large part by his father Mohamed, and how this was all part of civilization jihad driven by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (“CAIR”), the Muslim Brotherhood-Hamas front group in the United States that promotes civilization jihad through lawsuits.
The Texas appeals court specifically ruled that Mohamed had not made out a case for defamation because CSP and Hanson had based their statements in large part on the involvement of CAIR, which the court noted, was “an organization . . . the federal government had linked to Islamic terrorist supporters as an unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorism case.”
The purpose of this CAIR-driven lawsuit was to intimidate into silence those who might comment publicly on the connection between jihad, terrorism, sharia, and Islam.
Our victory was a victory for the First Amendment’s right to freedom of speech.
* On July 16, we filed a supplemental brief in our case defending CSP and several of its employees, who were sued by CAIR for conducting an undercover documentary designed to expose the Islamic organization’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. The case is set to go to a jury trial in the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. This latest filing is part of the extensive pretrial briefing ordered by the court.
In our filing, we argue that CAIR’s connection to the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States is intimately connected to its origins and its relationships with terrorist organizations such as Hamas. We thus demonstrate that all of the evidence that CAIR now seeks to desperately preclude from this trial (public documents showing the Muslim Brotherhood’s connection to terrorism, the Muslim Brotherhood network in the U.S., and CAIR’s Muslim Brotherhood pedigree) is precisely the evidence the CSP defendants need to demonstrate that the documentary project was substantively sound.
A trial date has not yet been set.
*In early July, following President Trump’s nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court, AFLC conducted several media interviews regarding the selection, particularly in light of Judge Kavanaugh’s opinion in AFLC’s lawsuit filed on behalf of Priests for Life. This opinion on religious freedom attracted the attention of people from both sides of the aisle.
* In July, we prepared a new civil rights lawsuit for filing in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio on behalf of two pro-lifers who were threatened with arrest for preaching the Gospel and singing worship songs on the public sidewalk outside of a Toledo abortion center.
* We continue with court appearances, depositions, briefs, and motion practice in many other cases as well.
Thank you for your prayers and financial support. We couldn’t do what we do without them!

In Bengals news, Ja'Marr Chase wishes the Cincinnati Bengals had kept Joe Burrow out until he was 100%. Also, who could be on the trade block if things don't improve for the Stripes?
Chase spoke to the media on Monday following the team's 27-24 loss to the Bengals the day before and noted that he wishes the team had kept Joe Burrow out until he was 100% healthy. "Live and learn", he said.
Speaking of the Burrow injury, what if the team doesn't climb out of the 0-2 hole this time around? Would the Bengals consider trading any of their players who are in contract years?
Here's what's trending in Bengals news.
Joe Burrow’s calf: How the Bengals got here and the upcoming offensive consequences [Paul Dehner Jr., The Athletic]
If you'll recall, before the season began, Chase had said that Burrow should be held out until he was 100% ready to go. Burrow ended up playing in the first two games, the Bengals lost both of them, and now he's tweaked his calf again. Chase says he wishes the team had just kept Burrow out from the jump.
"Of course, Ja’Marr Chase told everybody this. He made the comment before the season started Burrow should sit out as long as necessary — even as far forward as Week 5 — to rest assured his quarterback was healthy for the majority of the season.- Paul Dehner Jr.
On Monday, his opinion hadn’t changed.
“I wish we would have did that from the jump,” Chase said. “But, live and learn.”"
2023 NFL Trade Block Big Board Entering Week 3 [Kristopher Knox, Bleacher Report]
Higgins is eighth on Knox's big board trade block list this week. He notes that the Bengals aren't going to throw in the towel just yet but if things with Burrow don't get better, maybe trading Higgins is something they'd consider doing if an extension doesn't feel possible next spring.
NFL offensive line rankings ahead of Week 3 [Zoltán Buday, PFF]
The Bengals came in at number 19 this week, up five spots from a week ago. The offensive line really hasn't been the issue that a lot of people have said it is through the first two games. Are they good? Not yet. Are they improved? Definitely.

The NHS has announced new plans for an expanded network of NHS units providing specialist support for new and expectant mothers experiencing anxiety, depression, or other mental illnesses in the area where they live.
Five years ago, two fifths of the country had no access to specialist community perinatal mental health treatment. Now, there are services in every one of the 44 local NHS areas, with plans to develop them further.
The expansion comes alongside the opening of four new mother and baby units, which mean that the most seriously ill women can receive residential care without being separated from their babies in every region.
As part of the new plans, partners of pregnant women and new mothers who are themselves suffering from anxiety, depression or more severe disorders such as psychosis will be automatically offered a comprehensive mental health assessment and sign-posted to professional support if needed.
Studies by mental health charities have found that one in five women will experience a mental health problem during pregnancy or in the year after giving birth.
Some common perinatal mental health illnesses include perinatal depression, perinatal anxiety, perinatal OCD, postpartum psychosis and postpartum PTSD.
In April 2018, NICE also updated its guidelines on antenatal and postnatal mental health and clinical management, including advice on how doctors can recognise potential mental health illnesses in new and expectant mothers. You can find their guidelines here.

But my thoughts and ultimate conversation with Lord went on from there. I began to think about why it was so important that Shawn and I stay together. Why was it so important that things work themselves out? Of course, I loved him. Of course I wanted to see good things for him. Of course I wanted him to walk out his life with joy and abundance and peace. But there was more. I saw a pattern in my own life. I wanted to see him saved because that meant that my testimony meant something. His salvation meant that all was not in vain. His salvation justified that my walk with the Lord was right and good. Wow.
Talk about raw honesty here...I don't even believe in myself and in my own walk with the Lord.
I have about three good friends, Shawn included, that I have prayed for for years. I am still waiting to see them come into the kingdom. I know that they will. I guess the question lies in this, will I trust God to help them run their race? Will I trust God to continue to work in their lives as I move on in my own. Will I trust Him as I let go? Because the truth is that they belong to Him. The truth is that I have to move on.
I have my own race to run.
Lord, help me to believe You. Help me to believe in me again.
From The Journey of Desire by John Eldridge:
"One thing I have come to embrace is this: we have to let it go. The more comfortable we are with mystery in our journey, the more rest we will know along the way...'Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet posssessing everything' (2 Cor. 6:10)..If we will remain open to sorrow, we can know joy. Somehow being empty allows us to make others rich. And if we are willing to let go, we'll discover something most surprising-that all is ours...Once we know what we want, we must learn the grace of release."
The author of this book says that there are two things that pierce our hearts...affliction and beauty. He goes on to say that beauty is what heals our hearts after great affliction. I took a walk today and looked up at the blue sky. I smelled the greenery of the landscape where I live. I felt the warm breeze of a cooler August day. I felt better, not so caged in by the agony of the past few days. I remember that seven years ago, when I was going through the very same heartache, the only thing that gave me any sense of hope was finding a patch of blue sky to focus on. I have no idea why it made me feel better. I just knew that if the sky could show some sort of clearing, that so too my heart could find a way to be clear of the gloom that surrounded it. My heart aches at the thought of the past six weeks, the past 10 years. I wanted it so badly, wanted it to finally work, wanted to see the miracle I was sure of.
A few weeks ago, I was glad that I had found freedom to live my life. Today, I am still glad. The pain is an indicator that I am alive, that I am still able to feel. And although what I had thought was a sure thing was not, I am sure that God has had a plan all along. I am sure that God is restoring my heart. I am sure the He will do as He promised and make all things new.

I watched The Notebook last night with my roomate and another friend. Yes, it was a chic flick. Yes, I did shed a few tears (which surprisingly does not happen too often). I made a connection with the storyline though: two people fall in love as teenagers, are separated by life circumstances, and then find each other again at just the right time.
The movie is told from the perspective of an old and gray couple who are experiencing their last days. I have hardly seen such a beautiful portrayal onscreen of lifelong love...true love. It was weird, there were lines in this movie that I have said myself, there were moments that I have lived. And they were not just the romantic, goosebump moments. They were the painful, heartbreaking moments. The ones where, if you aren't living in the movie, you think you are seeing the end of the relationship.
Which brings me to my point. Love, true love, pure in form and created by God, is resilient. I didn't think about that word until tonight when I hung up the phone. For about a week I have been feeling hopeless. I'm having a hard time not giving up. But the truth is, this thing has lasted through years of circumstance and changes. It has risen from the dead when I thought life could no longer exist. He is the only one I want to love for the rest of my life. When I am old and gray it is his hand that I want to hold. And so I have to trust that this love will be enough to hold us in the days to come.
God, you are love. Hold us and lead us as we walk out our days.

My reality is questioned on all sides. I stand alone, knowing the direction that I have wanted to take and straining to see if that is really where I am headed. My greatest strength and weakness lie in the same place. I dream beautiful dreams and then believe that they will surely come to pass. And it's not that I am a hopeless romantic full of fairy tale ideas that will never come true. It's not that I feel the need for something flawless and perfect. I just want the best.
I have walked away from the church, and found that I am only a child in my walk with God. And I have trusted a heart that may not be trustworthy at all. I am not even going to contemplate the choices I have made recently. I am not going to live in regret. I went forward with a full heart and I will continue to do so. It's only that...I am remembering the pains of a struggle I faced long ago. I felt sure that all would be different this time. And it might be that all will turn out better than I can see right now. But it looks empty and dark in this room.

What if I could be content with him or without him? Is that possible? Will there ever come a time when I will be with him every day? Will there ever come a day when I will be secure that he will never leave again? I am trusting that God hears my prayers. I am trusting that God is moving in the midst of us.
I wonder if he hears the tears in my voice when I hang up the phone. I wonder if he feels the same kind of longing. I wonder if he is making plans. I wonder what God is speaking to his heart. Only time and faith will tell I suppose.
Love is patient.

The earth expanding right hand and left hand,
The picture alive, every part in its best light,
The music falling in where it is wanted, and stopping where it is not wanted,
The cheerful voice of the public road?the gay fresh sentiment of the road.
O highway I travel! O public road! do you say to me, Do not leave me?
Do you say, Venture not? If you leave me, you are lost?
Do you say, I am already prepared?I am well-beaten and undenied?adhere to me?
O public road! I say back, I am not afraid to leave you?yet I love you;
You express me better than I can express myself;
You shall be more to me than my poem...
From this hour I ordain myself loos?d of limits and imaginary lines,
Going where I list, my own master, total and absolute,
Listening to others, and considering well what they say,
Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating,
Gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me.

AM host Ryan Bridge says Labour should push ahead and change immigration settings for nurses, saying the party "won't be in Government" in five years anyway.
It comes after Opposition MPs grilled Immigration Minister Michael Wood at a Select Committee on Tuesday after the Government's immigration "reset" took effect earlier this week.
As part of the changes, there were 56 jobs that qualify for residency straight away - but nurses or midwives weren't on the fast-track pathway list despite dire staffing shortages. Instead, they could only apply for residency after working for two years.
Former Immigration Minister Kris Faafoi defended that decision in May, saying "it would not be good if we attracted nurses here, gave them residence then they went off and did something else… we need them in those positions because of the health position we're in".
But Wood, who took the Immigration portfolio from Faafoi following his resignation from Parliament, indicated on Tuesday he was open to immigration tweaks for nurses.
"If we need to make adjustments as we move forward to get to the outcomes, then I'll certainly be open to doing that," Wood told the Select Committee.
Bridge, however, said Wood's comments were "absolute nonsense" and believed the Government would U-turn on Faafoi's policy.
"Why wouldn't they? What have they got to lose?
"Their argument for not doing a U-turn is that some of those nurses, once they come to New Zealand, they'll be nurses for a little bit and then they'll go and drive taxis or work in restaurants, or do something else."
Bridge said it wouldn't affect the Government should nurses decide to change careers down the track.
"For Labour, who cares if [nurses] do that in five, six years' time? Jacinda [Ardern] won't be in power, Labour won't be in Government, who cares?
"Just let them, look like the good guys - taking one for the team… What is the political downside for them? I can't see it."
Speaking from Melbourne on Tuesday, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the Government had been hammering away at identifying skills gaps.
"We have worked very hard to identify the skills gap New Zealanders have, the issues that businesses are facing and actually ease the path for those businesses to bring in those skills that we need."
But National Party Immigration spokesperson Erica Stanford said there was a shortage of nurses and there was no justification for making them wait two years for residency.
"The Government's actions simply don’t make sense and Kiwis are paying the price," Stanford said in a statement on Tuesday afternoon. "The only common sense and logic that the minister should be applying is that nurses will continue to choose Australia which is rolling out the red carpet in comparison. It's that simple."


A Simple Low Loss Partially-Filled 16-Way Radial Power Combiner
A new N-way partially-filled radial combiner design is proposed. The design integrates the advantages of printed circuit board (PCB) technology and those of air cavities into a single reactive power combiner. Minimal transmission losses are achieved using an air cavity, and the PCB allows flexibility with regard to port terminations. Importantly, simple and accurate PCB etching is exploited to achieve a wide-band central port match, without resorting to the typical high accuracy machining of the central feed pin. A 16-way prototype was manufactured and tested. When symmetrically excited, the measured input reflection coefficient is less than -15 dB over 20% fractional bandwidth at 4 GHz. Peripheral port signal amplitude and phase imbalances are within ± 0.3 dB and ± 2.5 degrees, respectively. The prototype incurs less than 0.45 dB transmission loss, yielding a combining efficiency better than 90% in the operating band. Additionally, the cavity housing as tested was made without the use of CNC machines.

The Trump administration is reportedly debating how to bring to justice two ISIS terrorists responsible for beheading at least 27 hostages, including American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, and hideously torturing many more.
Alexanda Kotey, 34, and El Shafee Elsheikh, 29, were captured by Kurdish forces in Syria last month.
The two were part of a notorious four-person cell comprised of British jihadis, all from London, who were dubbed the “Beatles.”
Ringleader Mohammed Emwazi, known as “Jihadi John” before his real identity was known, first appeared in the beheading video of Foley. He was killed by a drone strike in Raqqa, Syria in 2015. Another member of the cell, Aine Davis, is in jail in Turkey facing terror charges.
In the U.S., the question remains how to bring the pair to justice.
Some officials in the Trump administration, including top counterterrorism adviser Thomas P. Bossert favor transferring the two to GITMO (the U.S.’ detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba). Trump recently signed an executive order to keep the facility open.
But many others – officials from the State Department and the Pentagon, human rights groups and family members of their victims – want them brought to the U.S. to face a criminal trial.
“Sending them to Guantanamo to be prosecuted in the military commission or detained there would be a serious mistake,” said Rita Siemion, international legal counsel at Human Rights First, speaking to The Washington Post. “The federal courts have a proven track record for handling international terrorism prosecutions quickly and effectively, while military commissions are just the opposite.”
Trump has also acknowledged this fact. After accused terrorist Sayfullo Saipov mowed down eight people with a rented van on the Hudson River bike path in Manhattan on Halloween, Trump tweeted, “Would love to send the NYC terrorist to Guantanamo but statistically that process takes much longer than going through the Federal system.”
The Post notes while federal prosecutors have convicted hundreds of terrorists in civilian courts since the September 11, 2001 attacks, the attackers who are being held in GITMO have still not been tried. Khalid Sheikh
Mohammed, considered the mastermind of the attacks, was arrested in 2003, indicted in 2009 and the earliest estimate of his trial is 2019.
There is also another legal aspect of detention of the men in GITMO. “Bringing these men to Guantanamo is risky … ” said Jennifer Daskal, a former senior official in the Justice Department’s national security division, since, “they are connected to ISIS, as opposed to al-Qaeda, and the Supreme Court has never authorized the detention of ISIS fighters [as it has al-Qaeda fighters]. Bringing these men to Guantanamo would put their detention and possible prosecution on shaky legal grounds and set up a good legal basis for them to challenge their detention.”
In addition, bringing them to GITMO opens the case up to skewed accusations of victimhood, noted Nicolas Henin, a French journalist who spent 10 months as a prisoner of the cell.
Speaking to Vice News, Henin said, “For them, they were doing it for revenge, against all the grievances they can argue against the Western world, which are largely fantasized. I will be extremely frustrated if they were not offered a fair trial, and I don’t think the local authorities in northern Syria or detention in Guantanamo Bay would be justice.”
As for the Brits, they appear to want to wash their hands of the two, as long as they are not put in GITMO, said a senior U.S. national security official. In fact, unconfirmed reports have stated both terrorists have been stripped of their British citizenship.
Imprisoning them in the UK means that they can radicalize other inmates, a threat the UK is ill-prepared to deal with, and which the U.S. would also have to confront if the two are tried in a U.S. criminal court.
Even if they are given the death sentence, they will most likely sit in prison a lengthy amount of time awaiting appeal. This means that, unless they are kept in solitary confinement, they pose a threat.
This is a chief reason the UK and other European nations are not interested in foreign fighters returning and instead have expressed their desire for their citizens to be tried and/or executed in the countries where they are captured.
In the meantime, interrogations by U.S. forces in Syria of the pair have yielded valuable intelligence information, and for this reason, holding them in Syria is exactly where the U.S. wants them for now.
Do you think that foreign terrorists that are accused of attacking against Americans should be sent to GITMO or tried in U.S. criminal courts? Answer our poll below:


Search intensifies for teen missing in flood
SCHERTZ, Texas — The search continued on Sunday for a teenage boy believed to have been swept away by floodwaters as he tried to swim across a swollen creek near San Antonio, authorities said.
After helicopters and divers were used earlier, several search and rescue teams in inflatable boats were moving through the muddy water trying to find the teen in Schertz, where he was reported missing Saturday.
Avron Adams, 18, and a friend got caught in the swift waters of Cibolo Creek when about half a dozen friends swam across. One friend held onto a tree branch and got out, but Adams did not, officials said.
“We're hopeful, but at this point, you just don't know,” his father, Kenneth Adams, said as his wife stood nearby.
The usually dry creek in Schertz, northeast of San Antonio, had dropped about 10 feet since Saturday. Other rivers in the San Antonio area and surrounding counties continued to drop after peaking above the flood stage, but flood warnings remained in effect Sunday. The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch for seven counties until 6 p.m. Sunday, saying thunderstorms could produce heavy rainfall.
Two women died Saturday when they were swept away by floodwaters, some as deep as 10 feet on some roads. One who was trapped in her car climbed to the roof before being swept away, and her body was found against a fence, said San Antonio Fire Department spokesman Christian Bove.
Emergency officials also recovered the body of a woman in her 60s, whose car was carried away by water as firefighters were trying to rescue her. Authorities did not immediately identify the women who died.
On Sunday, about 20 people were at a shelter set up by the American Red Cross, including some whose apartment complex roof caved in under the weight of heavy rains.
Roxanne DeLeon arrived there Sunday with her 18-month-old son, 6-year-old daughter, 15-year-old daughter and husband a day after escaping through waist-deep water in their rented home with nothing but what they were wearing, her purse and some diapers.

South Korea's central bank left its key interest rate at a record low for the ninth straight month Thursday, pledging to maintain low borrowing rates to help extend a recovery in Asia's fourth-largest economy.
The Bank of Korea decision to keep the benchmark seven-day repurchase rate at 2 percent came at a monthly policy meeting and was in line with expectations.
The bank's monetary policy committee said in a statement that it will stick to its "accommodative policy stance for the time being with an emphasis on sustaining the recovery of economic activity." The wording was broadly similar to last month's statement.
South Korea's economic recovery, a rise in housing prices and a decision last month by Australia's central bank to lift rates had created expectations the Bank of Korea might hike borrowing costs at its October meeting.
However, the bank at the time largely doused speculation an increase would come before the end of the year by offering no fundamental change in wording to its policy statement.
Central banks often flag upcoming policy changes by altering their statements to give investors and markets ample understanding of their motives and time to prepare.
Goldman Sachs' economist Kwon Goohoon said in a report Thursday a rate hike will probably come in the first three months of 2010 and any increases are "likely to be gradual and moderate."
The central bank slashed the rate six times since more than a year ago to help battle the effects of the global financial crisis. Declines in global consumer demand amid the world slowdown hit South Korean exporters.
The South Korean economy has now fought back from its worst slowdown since the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis on a rebound in exports and production.
South Korea recorded three straight quarters of growth since contracting 5.1 percent in the final three months of 2008. It grew 2.9 percent in the third quarter ended Sept. 30, the strongest quarterly performance in more than seven years.
Consumer and business confidence are both at seven-year highs and unemployment in October fell to 3.2 percent, the lowest level in 11 months. The jobless rate peaked at a three-year high of 4 percent in March.
The benchmark Kospi stock index fell 1.4 percent to close Thursday at 1,572.73, while the South Korean won rose marginally against the dollar to close at 1,157.30, the highest finish in nearly a month.
Alaistair Chan, an economist with Moody's.com in Sydney, Australia, said in a report that any rate hike will be delayed "by a number of months."
He cited tightened restrictions on mortgage lending, opposition to higher rates by the finance ministry and the central bank policy committee's own assessment Thursday that "the upward trend in real-estate prices appears to have faltered."

Electronic Intifada, an excellent website focusing on the plight of the Palestinian people, has recently started an Electronic Lebanon section. This provides regular press overviews with English translations of the Arabic-language papers, which are by far the more interesting ones in Lebanon. Today the overview include this translation of part of an opinion piece written by As’ad Abu-Khalil in al-Akhbar:
Al-Akhbar , 17 November 2007, As’ad Abukhalil, “The primary absentee: Social justice in Lebanon”:
One topic remains absent from the cacophony of disagreements, talks and mediations dominating the interaction between the pro-government coalition and the opposition, namely the goal of achieving social justice.
The subject of social justice is a political one in Lebanon even if one doesn’t adopt a Marxist framework. And the issue of social justice has become intertwined with that of sectarian conflict due to the link established between sectarian mobilization with that of class struggle (and vise versa) during the pre-Civil War period. During that period, the National Movement [the broad coalition headed by leftist forces] championed in its mandate the concerns of the poor and the suffering, and this was behind the movement’s success in infiltrating the ranks of the various sects. But class worries were soon forgotten during the Civil War, and many of the movement’s leaders enriched themselves during the war. The movement failed to establish a social services network (the same way the PLO did, albeit under extreme corruption aptly managed by Yasser Arafat).
Social justice dropped from the official radar during the Hariri period in the wake of the “Taif Reforms” that officially acknowledged the rights of the different sects rather than the rights of the different classes of society. Backed by a Syrian regime that entrusted him with the management of the economy, Hariri was able to further impoverish the poor and to reduce the government’s social services network. And during this particular period, Hizballah struck a “Faustian” alliance with Hariri under which the latter took total control of Economic policy while the former the burden of resistance and liberation. By granting Hariri a free hand in managing the economy, Hizballah refrained from fighting the battle of liberating the individual that goes in tandem with the fight to liberate the land, and people are more valuable than land.
Incidentally, they also have an Electronic Iraq site.

On its Geo Developers Blog, Google announced time zone functionality for the Google Maps API. Developers around the globe have exhaled a sigh of relief, as time zone functionality has either kept them up at night, required extensive programming, or remained just a bit outside of an apps functionality because it wasn't mandatory (but sure would have been nice).
BikeSpike created a handy piece of hardware that easily affixes to any bicycle frame. The device contains a GPS device that can certainly track your mileage or help plan a route; but let's face it, your smartphone can do that much while sitting in your pocket (or underneath your biking tights). BikeSpike's mission goes beyond a simple GPS. BikeSpike offers automatic crash and tamper protection. BikeSpike aims to help users when they are unable to actually ride the bike. To spark further innovation around its hardware, BikeSpike provides an open API targeted at the developer community.

Randomized phase II trial shows no drop in progression to severe disease, all-cause deaths
FRIDAY, Oct. 23, 2020 (HealthDay News) — For patients with moderate COVID-19, convalescent plasma does not reduce progression to severe COVID-19 or mortality, according to a study published online Oct. 22 in The BMJ.
Anup Agarwal, M.B.B.S., from the Indian Council of Medical Research in New Delhi, and colleagues conducted an open-label, parallel arm, phase II, randomized, controlled trial at 39 hospitals across India to examine the effectiveness of using convalescent plasma to treat moderate COVID-19. A total of 464 adults admitted to the hospital with confirmed moderate COVID-19 were randomly assigned to either convalescent plasma (two doses transfused 24 hours apart) with best standard of care (235 patients) or best standard of care only (299 patients).
The researchers found that at 28 days after enrollment, progression to severe disease or all-cause mortality occurred in 19 and 18 percent of patients in the intervention and control arms, respectively (risk difference, 0.008 [95 percent confidence interval, −0.062 to 0.078]; risk ratio, 1.04 [95 percent confidence interval, 0.71 to 1.54]).
“Although our study was underpowered, we did not find any benefit from convalescent plasma being administered within three days of symptom onset in COVID-19,” the authors write.

The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass
Now a major motion picture starring Matthew McConaughey and Idris Elba
The fourth volume in the brilliant Dark Tower Series is “splendidly tense…rip-roaring” (Publishers Weekly)—a #1 national bestseller about an epic quest to save the universe.
In Wizard and Glass, Stephen King is “at his most ebullient…sweeping readers up in…swells of passion” (Publishers Weekly) as Roland the Gunslinger, Eddie, Susannah, and Jake survive Blaine the Mono’s final crash, only to find themselves stranded in an alternate version of Topeka, Kansas, that has been ravaged by the superflu virus. While following the deserted I-70 toward a distant glass palace, Roland recounts his tragic story about a seaside town called Hambry, where he fell in love with a girl named Susan Delgado, and where he and his old tet-mates Alain and Cuthbert battled the forces of John Farson, the harrier who—with a little help from a seeing sphere called Maerlyn’s Grapefruit—ignited Mid-World’s final war.
Filled with “blazing action” (Booklist), the fourth installment in the Dark Tower Series “whets the appetite for more” (Bangor Daily News). Wizard and Glass is a thrilling read from “the reigning King of American popular literature” (Los Angeles Daily News).

Several researchers have reported that dual phase steel sheets exhibit hyperplasticity, that is, a significant formability improvement under certain high strain rate forming conditions. Hyperplastic behavior of dual phase steels formed using an electrohydraulic forming (EHF) process was previously investigated by the authors at both macro- (Golovashchenko et al., 2013, “Formability of Dual Phase Steels in Electrohydraulic Forming,” J. Mater. Process. Technol., 213, pp. 1191–1212) and microscales (Samei et al., 2013, “Quantitative Microstructural Analysis of Formability Enhancement in Dual Phase Steels Subject to Electrohydraulic Forming,” J. Mater. Eng. Perform., 22(7), pp. 2080–2088). A relative deformation improvement of approximately 20% in ferrite grains and 100% in martensite islands was reported in the EHF specimens compared to specimens formed under quasi-static conditions. In this paper, the remarkable deformation improvements of the constituents are discussed in terms of metallurgical mechanisms of deformation. The nucleation and multiplication of dislocations in ferrite and deformation twinning in martensite were found to be the principal mechanisms responsible for the significant improvements of deformation in EHF. In addition, these mechanisms enhance the plastic compatibility between the two phases which reduces the risk of decohesion and delays the onset of fracture in EHF specimens.


'Auto Air Conditioning' is in the vehicle. There is a loud noise coming from the engine compartment when the air is on. It can best be described as what one hears when you blow up a balloon, remove the opening from your mouth and hold it only tight enough to slowly let air release. I think it is the diaphragm in the "fast idle actuator". I would like to start by replacing it but so far have been unable to source it. Any additional thoughts? Thx.

Yoga Teacher since 2016
I first learnt about yoga at the age of 5 and have been teaching others how to develop physically and mentally through yoga, meditation and mindfulness for over 4 years.
With a desire to help people understand how to manage stress, become more conscious and flexible in both the body and mind I have taken my classes, workshops, and retreats all over the world. I've been lucky enough to work with a wide range of people - from martial artists to dancers, to powerlifters, and all the lovely people in between.
I believe that a consistent yoga and meditation practice is imperative to unlocking one's full potential, however, I understand that time is limited for most people and so I also teach mindfulness techniques that can be applied to daily life.
The styles of yoga that I teach are Yin, Satria, Vinyasa Flow, and Hatha Ashtanga, as well as Yoga Nidra and Guided Meditation.
Why Practice Yoga?
"We really enjoyed the virtual retreat as it was very informative as well as a lot of fun! The "teachers" were all great, answered all questions and made us feel very comfortable and welcome. We enjoyed all parts of it, my daughter loved the drawing whereas I was more into the other two parts. Additionally we absolutely loved the positive energy of this amazing event!"

We’ve never been huge gardeners in the sense of building sprawling, stunning garden plots right into our yard, but that doesn’t mean we don’t want to add a bit of plant based charm to our outdoor area for the spring and summer! That’s where simple things like garden boxes come in. Whether you’re intent on building a smaller or window mounted version or even interested in a larger box that might sit further from the house, making your very own garden box using your DIY skills is an incredibly satisfying project because you get to watch the plants and flowers you place there bloom and grow all through the warm season. That’s why we’ve been keeping our eyes peeled for new tutorials that will help us build some more of our own!
Just in case you love the idea of making your very own springtime garden boxes this year just as much as we do, if not more, here are 15 of the very best ideas, designs, and tutorials that we’ve come across so far in our search for inspiration and guidance.
1. Floating wooden shelf with terra cotta pot cutouts
Are you a little bit experienced in some wood based handy work but you’re also quite new to it, so you’d prefer to keep things very simple? In that case, we’d definitely suggest taking a look at how Family Handyman affixed a simple painted board with several circles cut out to their lower outer window pane and popped a terra cotta flower pot into each one!
2. Lattice window box
When you think of a window mounted garden box, do you actually picture the box shaped kind that you can plant a whole sort of miniature garden into for a classic, slightly more old fashioned look? In that case, we think you might get along a little better with something like this cute lattice design outlined step by step on Pretty Handy Girl!
3. Classic farmhouse window box
What if your home has a slightly more rustic chic aesthetic to it that you’re feeling intent on continuing both in and outside the house? Then perhaps you’d prefer something like this classic looking farmhouse style window box that’s outlined in more detail on Beneath My Heart! We love the idea of using stained and upcycled wood to really stick to that repurposed sort of farm living ideal.
4. Larger, longer window box
Maybe you’ve been looking through all kinds of window box tutorials for a while now and, despite the fact that you want quite a simple design, you haven’t been able to find a detailed guide that will help you build one that’s quite big enough for the main front window in your house? Sure, you can always extrapolate on measurements given for smaller designs, but that’s hard if you’re a beginner to projects like this. That’s why we were rather pleased to come across this larger, longer window box tutorial outlined step by step on Two Twenty One.

VUV spectroscopy provides a method for residual solvent characterization that results in reduction of chromatography runtimes by 5X or greater. In addition, different solvent types (Classes 1–3 and others) can be combined into individual compressed analyses for further sample throughput gains. Water determination by GC-VUV delivers a more accurate and precise method than Karl Fischer while not requiring the use toxic reagents.
Known advantages of VUV Spectroscopy
- The ability to compress chromatography runtimes by 5X or greater
- The capability of combining different solvent classes and types (Class 1–3 and others of interest) into individual compressed analyses.
- GC-VUV offers a more precise and user friendly method for water determination
- Co-eluting impurities including isomers can be analyzed without need the for chromatographic baseline resolution
- Instrumentation and software is designed for scaling from R&D to production
- Intuitive data processing workflow and software automation remove analytical complexity


FM200 Gaseous Fire Suppression Extinguishing Agent (HFC-227ea)
Fast, clean & safe fire protection FM-200® systems are internationally accepted as providing reliable and effective fire protection solutions for high value assets, processes and locations, as well as the people who work in these protected areas.
Electrically non-conductive, FM-200 Gaseous Fire Suppression Agent works by removing heat from a fire so that combustion cannot be sustained. When it comes to being safe for use, FM-200 delivers, which is why FM-200 systems are approved by, FM and UL, SSL listed; an ideal solution where personnel safety and process continuity are paramount.
The decision to use FM-200 can be based on a number of key factors: it is the most widely used of the chemical replacements for Halon 1301 and it is an agent that has been used to successfully protect tens of thousands of high-technology facilities in 70 countries around the world.
At its design concentration, FM-200 does not sufficiently deplete the oxygen level to a point where it is unsafe for occupants to remain in the room. FM-200 agent is stored in cylinders as a liquid, super-pressurised with nitrogen so requiring only a very small storage ‘footprint’.
Significantly, there is no risk of thermal shock to delicate electronic equipment and FM-200 is electrically non-conductive and non-corrosive. Additionally, it leaves no oily residue or deposits to damage software, data files or communications equipment, meaning post-discharge clean up time and costs are minimal.
FM 200® extinguishing agent is a colourless gas, virtually odourless, electrically non-conductive and has a density 6 times that of air. It extinguishes fires mainly through physical means (by absorbing heat). It is suitable for the protection of most risks where previously Halon 1301 would have had to be applied.
The suppression agent is pressurised with dry nitrogen at 610 PSI and is stored in steel cylinders equipped with certified valves.
Our comparatively higher pressure FM200 Gaseous Fire Suppression system provides greater flexibility in the choice of cylinder location and permits the use of smaller pipe sizes thanks to the increased discharge speed.

New York City’s very own Urban Asian artist Alvin Augustine aka Nivla has just released the official music video for his track “Reconsider” featuring J. Matt.
Nivla and J. Matt complement each other well. The soulful new track has a catchy beat and tells a sweet story through the music video which was shot all over New York City.
Nivla, who cites Jay-Z, Nas, Kanye West, The Fugees, 2Pac, and Biggie has his biggest influences, keeps his music real with a fusion of South Asian and Western sounds. His versatility is evident in his debut album “Child of God” which has 17 tracks from dance songs like “Kinda Girl I Like,” hard-edged tracks like “Dangerous,” and songs with a desi twist like “Be Easy (Koi Naa)” that has a bit of Punjabi flavor.
In 2008 Nivla’s “Be Easy” entered in the Dorito’s contest during the Superbowl Contest which lead to his Interscope Records deal! Nivla was even nationally recognized when he won a spot creating the Team USA’s basketball official anthem for the Beijing 2008 Olympics! with a list of accomplishments like Nivla’s it’s hard not to expect greatness from the artist!
