Mold Remediation in New Jersey
More than 100,000 species of mold inhabit the Earth, and while many of these species are harmless, some mold types can inflict various negative health effects on New Jersey homeowners and their households. Mold often begins to cohabitate with homeowners when excess moisture or water damage exists in homes, and mold remediation and water removal and extraction services from an experienced restoration company are often required for effective water damage repairs and mold removal.
Removing mold from your home can be straightforward or difficult, depending on the extent of the contamination. The first step to ridding your New Jersey home of mold is to contact a restoration company like Timeless Restoration for mold remediation services. Our restoration specialists will assess the mold contamination, document their findings, contain the mold growth, remove the mold with specialized equipment, and clean the affected areas and your personal belongings.
Many New Jersey homeowners struggle with keeping mildew out of damp areas in their homes, such as bathrooms and kitchens. You may find mildew on your shower curtain or damp dish cloths. Like mold, mildew is a fungus that many homeowners are familiar with because these fungi grow in the same environments. Additionally, mildew is associated with health complications.
Mildew has flat growth, and it can be removed easily from surfaces. Mildew is most often found on damp surfaces, organic materials, paper, and fabrics, and it can be described as "downy" or "powdery." Downy mildew usually grows on fruit and other produce, and powdery mildew often grows on flowering plants. Mildew is known to cause headaches, sore throats, respiratory problems, and coughing. If a large amount of mildew is present in your New Jersey home, reach out to the mold remediation experts at Timeless Restoration for mildew removal services.
Mold testing is a step in the mold remediation process that reveals the severity of contamination. The goal of mold testing is to determine if the mold growth in your home is harmless or dangerous to your household's health.
Some mold species cause minor health complications such as headaches, sore throats, watery eyes, and nose bleeds, and other mold species are associated with lung infections, severe allergic reactions, respiratory problems, weakened immune systems, liver infections, and skin infections. To determine which mold species is inhabiting your New Jersey home, schedule mold testing services with a trusted restoration company like Timeless Restoration.
Although you may be able to detect mold in your New Jersey home, you probably don't have the expertise required to identify the mold species and remove it effectively. Mold inspections should be performed by professional mold remediation technicians, and hiring a restoration company like Timeless Restoration increases your chance of eliminating mold in your home for good.
During mold inspections, our restoration specialists detect water damage and sources of moisture, perform the appropriate repairs, assess the indoor air quality of your home, and begin the mold testing process to determine which mold types are present.

Neil Gaiman : Anansi Boys - signed and remarqued First Edition
First edition, first impression, signed and remarqued (hand-sketched) by the artist Francis Vallejo
Illustrated by Francis Vallejo
Introduced by Nalo HopkinsonNeil Gaiman's raucous comedy Anansi Boys bursts into the spotlight in an extraordinary Folio collector's edition, filled with vibrant images by artist Francis Vallejo and introduced by Afrofuturist Nalo Hopkinson.
The seed of Anansi Boys was planted during a conversation with the comedian and actor Lenny Henry. Where, asked Henry, were all the people of colour in fantasy fiction? Gaiman turned his attention to African mythology and the figure of Anansi the spider god. Having already made a scene-stealing appearance in the award-winning 'American Gods', the irresistible Mr Nancy makes a triumphant return in this witty romp of a novel – perfect for fans of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett.
During early discussions on the production of Anansi Boys, Neil Gaiman noted that: ‘You've set the bar so high with 'American Gods'. Now you merely have to do something just as beautiful and just as ground-breaking.’ Gaiman chose artist Francis Vallejo to take on the challenge, and the result has to be one of Folio’s most joyous creations. As well as vivid spiderwebs on the page tops and five superb full-colour illustrations, the Folio edition of Anansi Boys features a very special tactile pictorial slipcase and a binding that nods to the dual nature shared by the characters Fat Charlie and Spider. Inside, fully illustrated, original black-and-white chapter headings tell their own folktale – all of which are especially fitting for a book about the power and vitality of stories.
Synopsis : 'God is dead. Meet the offspring".
Fat Charlie Nancy is not actually fat. He was fat once but he is definitely not fat now. No, right now Fat Charlie Nancy is angry, confused and more than a little scared - right now his life is spinning out of control, and it is all his dad's fault.
If his rotter of an estranged father hadn't dropped dead at a karaoke night, Charlie would still be blissfully unaware that his dad was Anansi the spider god. He would have no idea that he has a brother called Spider, who is also a god. And there would be no chance that said brother would be trying to take over his life, flat and fiancée, or, to make matters worse, be doing a much better job of it than him.
Desperate to reclaim his life, Charlie enlists the help of four more-than-slightly eccentric old ladies and their unique brand of voodoo - and between them they unleash a bitter and twisted force to get rid of Spider. But as darkness descends and badness begins is Fat Charlie Nancy going to get his life back in one piece or is he about to enter a whole netherworld of pain?
He’d only had a brother for a little over a day, and already he felt there would be no surprises left in this new family relationship. Spider was the cool one; he was the other one.
Bereavement is a time of upheaval and for Fat Charlie Nancy the changes are practically seismic. Not only does he discover that his embarrassing old dad was actually Anansi the African trickster god, his life is about to be invaded and turned upside down by Spider, the magical twin brother he never knew he had. Desperate to snatch back his life – and his fiancée – from this agent of chaos, Fat Charlie enlists the help of forces he barely understands, only to unleash a darkness that could destroy everything.

Getting Good at Being You
Luke 13:10-12 On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, "Woman, you are set free from your infirmity."
Friend to Friend
A man paid a visit to his local psychologist. When the doctor asked what had prompted the visit, the man replied, “I’m suffering from an inferiority complex!”
Man said, “I’m suffering from an inferiority complex!” For weeks, the doctor ran a battery of tests. When the results had been tabulated, the doctor called the man and asked him to come in for the diagnosis. The doctor reported, “I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that you do not have an inferiority complex. The bad news is that you really are inferior”.
Many of us are just like that man. Someone has convinced us that we are inferior! It’s been said, “No one can make you feel inferior without your permission! But many of us have allowed others to assign an identity to us that is false and untrue, an identity that has paralyzed us! That identity has become our prison.
I have great news for you today, girlfriend!
You can discover who you are!
You can understand why you are here!
You can be all that you were created to be!
God wants you to get good at being you and He illustrates this desire in the life of this woman we find in the book of Luke. Over the next few days, we will explore several truths that, when applied, will empower you to be all God meant you to be.
First step: Realize that Jesus knows you and still loves you!
Luke When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, Woman, you are set free from your infirmity."
Jesus knew this woman – really knew her. He looked past her pain and saw who she really was. “Woman” he said. Jesus certainly knew her name, but instead He chose to call her “woman” and speak to her whole identity. I am certain that this woman had been assigned an identity by her pain, the people around her, her own heart and Satan himself. Can you imagine just how unwanted, how alone and how unloved she must have felt? I can. She was a “nobody” to everyone but the One that really mattered. When Jesus Christ saw her, He spoke her name and she became a “somebody”!
Many of you feel just like that woman, unwanted, unloved, a “nobody”! But just as Jesus knew and loved this woman, He knows you loves you. And He is calling your name. That’s right, friend, you were created by God…for God and He wants a personal relationship with you. No one can take your place in His heart.
Our identity was established in the heart and mind of God before the world began.
Several years ago, I had an elderly friend who was frequently hospitalized for heart problems. When I got a call that Miss Becky had been admitted, I dropped everything to visit her. I knew what she loved the most – a fish sandwich and fries from McDonald’s. I know it wasn’t on her diet, but one meal out of so many wouldn’t hurt – right? I stepped up the visitor’s desk and asked where Becky Sullivan was. The woman behind the desk responded, “She’s in nuclear medicine, but you can’t go in there.” As I walked through the doors of nuclear medicine and asked the nurses where Becky Sullivan was, they responded, “She’s having some tests run down the hall but you can’t go in there”. As I walked to the room where she was having tests run, a guard the size of Goliath appeared and said, “Ma’am, no one is allowed in here.” Although I sometimes complain about being short, this time it was to my advantage! I ducked under his arms, where I came face-to-face with George Herrera, my neighbor, who just happened to be in charge of Nuclear Medicine. He invited me in, sandwich, fries and all, to visit with Miss Becky. All of a sudden, I was important. I was “somebody” because I knew the one in charge.
Before we can understand who we are, we must first understand whose we are because without God, our identity is incomplete. There is a God-shaped hole inside each one of us. We are born in desperation, innately searching for significance, driven by an undeniable need to belong.
We pursue worth in worthless places and seek validation from invalid sources. In short, our very souls ache to be chosen. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, willingly came to earth and became one of us, so that through a personal relationship with Him, we can be chosen, adopted into the family of God.
Oh, how I love that truth! Even if we were never wanted or planned by human heart and mind, we were planned and wanted in the heart and mind of God! His stubborn love displaces thoughts of rejection and banishes feelings of abandonment. We are chosen by God. And that, dear friend, is enough!
Dear God, I need You to complete me. I need Your unconditional love and complete acceptance. I feel so alone and rejected. I’m so tired of feeling unworthy, unable to measure up to the people in my life. Will you please come into my life, right now? I surrender to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Now it’s your turn
- Make a list of words that describe how you see yourself.
- Make a list of words that describe how you think God sees you.
- Compare the two lists.
- Memorize Matthew “Even the very hairs of your head are all numbered” and reflect on the truth of that verse this week.
More from the girlfriends
Understanding and accepting who I am in God’s eyes has been and still is one of the greatest struggles in my life. So know that you are not alone, girlfriend. We will be praying for you and would love to hear what God is doing in your life. Blessings!

Fernando and Jarrett: A Real Life Story of Friendship
Fernando, Mi Amor
Fernando was so young when we brought him into our life that he was dependent on me and my wife, not only for affection but also for survival. At seven weeks old, a puppy is incapable of feeding itself, of procuring water and of understanding what is or is not a dangerous threat.
We drove Fernando home from Darby Farms, outside of Athens, GA, to our home in Atlanta, nestled in a blanket we had rubbed against his mother to ease his transition from her to us. He spent the hour-and-a-half-long drive in my wife Hallie's lap, drinking water out of her mug. He didn't cry once.
We were so madly in love with him from the second we knew he would be coming home with us that he must have been able to sense our feelings, allowing him to trust us calmly.
I never knew how strongly I could love another animal before Fernando, how deep of a connection I could make, in a split second, when I realized I was responsible for the well-being and survival of a living creature.
My wife has taught me that love is not whirlwind romance; it is a hard working partnership. Similarly, Fernando has taught me that love is not rousing. It is patient. Love is sacrificing one's self for someone else, to keep them full of vitality and provide more for them than you have for yourself.
I lost a lot of sleep when he was a baby, going in and out all night during the dead of winter, but I never once questioned whether or not being a dog father was worth it. Despite all the slippers and remote controls that have been sacrificed to his exploratory nature, he has never been anything but perfect. My beautiful son, my love, Fernando.
Do you need some tissues after reading that story? Go ahead—we’ll wait! If Fernando’s story inspired you, check out Michael and Sally's tale. Or share the love by sending this sweet story to a friend.

She took style inspiration from Kim Kardashian earlier this week when she wore a pair of the reality star’s favourite Balenciaga sunglasses.
And Nicole Kidman, 55, was spotted spending time with the reality superstar, 41, backstage at the French Fashion House’s show during Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday.
The Aussie actress and the brunette beauty were seen holding hands as they chatted away to British pop star Dua Lipa.
Nicole Kidman spent time with Kim Kardashian and Dua Lip backstage at the Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday
Kim, who stands at a diminutive five foot two, looked up and smiled with glee at the towering Hollywood actress, who is a statuesque five foot nine.
All three women starred in Balenciaga’s Haute-Couture Fall Winter 2002-2023 show.
Balenciaga muse Kim looked nothing short of sensational as she showcased her incredible figure in a form-fitting black gown, which completely covered her legs and arms.
Nicole stunned in one-shoulder silver gown, which featured ruched detailing across the midriff, while Dua, 26, wore a lemon yellow mini dress.
Eyes Wide Shut star Nicole shared a photo of the moment on her Instagram page as well as other backstage snaps. One included one of her snuggling into her husband, country music star Keith Urban, as she had her hair and makeup done for the show

Eyes Wide Shut star Nicole shared a photo of the moment the trio met on her Instagram page, as well as other backstage snaps.
One included one of her snuggling into her husband, country music star Keith Urban, as she had her hair and makeup done for the show.
Keith showed off his bulging biceps as he wrapped his arm around his beautiful wife of 16 years.
The day before, Nicole wore the same mysterious pair of Balenciaga shades that Kim wore on several occasions in 2021.

She teamed the unique accessory with a simple black long-sleeve body and high-waisted jeans.
Nicole layered a cross necklace with a simple elegant chain and amped up her glam with a bracelet and rings.
The Big Little Lies star paired her outfit with pointed-heel shoes and carried a black leather clutch.
The stunning redhead threw her copper tresses into a comfortable updo as she stopped by the couture store.
Stepping out: Kim wore the unusual eyewear while out in NYC in 2021
It comes as Nicole recently revealed how her early days in Hollywood were possible thanks to some of her Australian friends.
The actress Academy Award winner told the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia in a recorded interview that she was supported by her good pals, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness, even sleeping on their couch while auditioning for roles in Los Angeles.
‘[Deborra-Lee] was one of my best friends,’ the Dead Calm star said, adding that the fellow actress always gave her a place to stay when she flew in from Australia.

‘[I slept on the couch] in the house that Deborra-Lee was renting, and she gave the chance to stay there and we could go and audition,’ Nicole said.
‘It was expensive, we couldn’t afford hotels, so the idea of being in hub out of a house together, was really, I mean, my god.’
She added: ‘You’d go and come back and you’d go over for a few weeks and do some auditions and hope to crack it.’
Nicole has previously revealed how Deborra-Lee, 66, and Hugh, 53, helped her after her divorce from Tom Cruise in 2001.
Grateful: Nicole recently revealed how her early days in Hollywood were possible thanks to her Australian friends Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness. Pictured in 2013
‘When I got divorced, Hugh and Deb were so much a part of my healing,’ she said in a candid interview with Australian Women’s Weekly.
‘They were some of my best friends through that period,’ she added.
Like Nicole, Hugh and Deborra-lee were among a small group of budding Australian actors living in Hollywood in the 1980s.
Deborra-lee was the first to meet Nicole when she was ‘couch surfing’ in Los Angeles as a teenager before being cast in Days of Thunder, where she met Tom.
‘I do remember Tom Cruise ringing the house when she landed the role [in Days of Thunder]. Nic was always very cool and took it all in her stride,’ Deborra-lee said.
After splitting with Tom, 59, Nicole went on to meet her second husband, Keith Urban, 54.

“Hundreds of DoD-affiliated individuals” were recently identified as suspects in child pornography cases, according to an investigation by the Defense Criminal Investigative Service.
far, authorities have only looked into about 20 percent of these cases.
But already, they’ve found “several” individuals “using their
government devices to download or share said pornographic material.”
year, an investigation by the National Criminal Justice Training
Program found DOD computers were among the top networks nationwide for
peer-to-peer sharing of pornographic images of minors. DOD’s network ranked 19th out of 2,891 computer networks studied.
59 homicide/aggravated assault convicts and 239 rapists and sex offenders have been released so far this year. The First Step law turns over the power to release prisoners to administrators at the Bureau of Prisons that can release whoever they want to.
When police officers in the city are this vulnerable to attack, no one in the city is safe, especially the public. Democrat New York Mayor Bill DeBlasio has demonized his own police force as ‘racist’ for years, and his policies have neutered them.
Kathy Zhu says that officials of the Miss World America beauty pageant stripped her state title and barred her from national competition because of social media posts, which were taken out of context, that they claimed were racist, Islamophobic, and insensitive.
Georgia state representative, Erica Thomas, tweeted that a white man verbally assaulted her by saying she was “a lazy SOB and to go back to where I came from.” She later lamented in a Facebook video that “People are getting really out of control with this white privilege stuff.” She has since backpedaled her story.
Several of the resolutions that did pass include the fundamental right to abortion under Roe v. Wade and teaching the concept of ‘white fragility’ (which they explain is produced by white supremacy culture), and other leftist causes.
The Florida Department of Health is charging McCarthy with violating state law by lying about being a doctor, under the state’s unlicensed activity statutes. She said, “I wanted to be somebody in the community, and I’m sorry.”
George Nader has now been indicted on multiple charges of importing child pornography into the US in 2018. FBI agents found dozens of child-porn videos on Nader’s phones, with some depicting children as young as 3 years old.
Democrat Senator Cory Booker introduced legislation that would allow anyone in prison for more than 10 years to petition for release — thus, requiring the state to prove its case all over again!

Ron Paul says that the lost trillions have nothing to do with defense, as the money is instead used to prop up the high lifestyles of the military industrial complex. The real problem is not waste and fraud, but the belief that the US must maintain a global military empire.
The US Department of Defense has, indeed, been working on genetic-extinction technologies that could wipe out malarial mosquitoes, invasive rodents or other species, including humans. If they could advance the technology to the point where races and sub-species could be targeted, it could turn into a monstrous weapon. There is no oversight or ethical considerations for genetic experiments.
The Washington Post reports that the Pentagon is recycling a scam from WWII whereby it buys fuel and then resells it to its own armed services at a higher price and uses the profits as a slush fund for questionable purposes. Since 2010, the Pentagon has built up a $6-billion surplus.

Good morning and happy Saturday! I’m so glad we’re back to nicer temperatures and dry, sunny weather. That brief dip earlier in the week, and the precipitation that accompanied it was really no fun at all. My poor dogs had such sad looks on their faces when I opened up the back door to let them out, and they saw that their yard was covered once again in a blanket of white. I think I had a sad face too. Last weekend was just far too beautiful to spend it all doing yard work, and as a result, I barely did any at all and I really have to make up for that this weekend.
I’m nearing the end of the really thin Rambouillet. This stuff has taken a really long time for me to complete, mostly because I’m spinning it so thin, and the fastest ratio I have available on my Lendrum is 17:1 on the fast flyer. My Bliss wheel’s fastest ratio is 18:1, so it’s not significantly faster, and I remember that when I was spinning the fiery Finn on that wheel a while back, it did not go quickly. Both projects are a little outside of “comfort zone” of drafting style and the type of yarn is an exercise in patience and concentration. That’s not to say they’re any less fun to work on. In fact, it’s because they require patience and concentration that has made them fun to spin.
However, because this project has taken an hour or two almost every day over the course of a few weeks, there is an increased possibility of inconsistency throughout the singles on each of the two Lendrum bobbins. My plan to reduce those inconsistencies is to re-wind those singles onto a number of storage bobbins, and use them randomly when I ply the final yarn. To do that, I’ll make use of a new tool that I’ve recently added to my arsenal.
A couple of weeks ago, I invested in a bobbin winder. Up until now I had been using the quill head for my Lendrum to wind yarn onto small plastic bobbins for weaving shuttles. It worked, although it was somewhat awkward and inefficient, but the bobbin winder makes it much easier. In addition to winding bobbins for weaving, I can also easily and quickly re-wind yarn spun on my wheel or on a spindle for plying.
There are several reasons to re-wind your singles onto storage bobbins before plying. First, when re-winding onto a storage bobbin, you allow the twist to redistribute and even out along the length of yarn between the wheel bobbin and the storage bobbin. Second, by plying from multiple, smaller storage bobbins, any further inconsistency in twist and grist are spread out more in the final yarn which gives it the appearance of being more consistent. It’s extra work, but worth it in the long run. Third, while the bobbin winder might be a bit of an expense, the plastic bobbins are incredibly cheap. In the long run this can actually be cheaper than buying multiple wheel bobbins, as those can be $20 or more apiece, depending on the wheel. This makes it easier to spin all of your singles for larger projects and then ply, and not have to spin and ply one skein at a time.
When I am spinning in my “comfort zone” on a wheel I usually manage to get a good rhythm going with both my treadling and drafting, and I’ve been pretty happy with the consistency of the yarn I’m producing. My spindle spinning is still not as consistent. It’s improving, and taking the opportunity to re-wind from my spindles before plying gives me the same opportunities to increase the consistency of my spindle spun yarn (or at least mask the inconsistencies). Since spindle spinning is a much more portable craft than wheel spinning, I’ve been following the sage advice of my dear friend Ted, and using the small, felted wool balls that he gave me. By winding a spindle full of singles around a ball, I get the same opportunity to re-distribute some twist. I can ply from multiple balls of singles as I did recently on my vacation, or I can wind two, three, or more strands at a time around the ball, and only ply from the one. This has proved to be much better than trying to ply from any of the center pull balls that I’ve tried to wind, as mine always seem to end up in a tangled mess.
You don’t need to invest in a bobbin winder, plastic bobbins, or make little felted balls of wool to re-wind your yarn. Empty cardboard tubes from paper towels or toilet paper can make great storage bobbins too. Give re-winding a try and see how it works for you.
That’s it for this morning. I’m off to spin. Enjoy your weekend everyone!

- The biggest game of 2019 so far is “Apex Legends,” which pulled in over 50 million players in its first month on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
- On July 2, “Apex Legends” got a huge update: a new character, major changes to its map, and a totally new mode.
- Though the update is free for everyone, paying $10 for the Season Two Battle Pass adds even more. Here’s everything coming in Tuesday’s big update!
- Visit Business Insider’s homepage for more stories.
The biggest game of the year just got a massive expansion: “Apex Legends” Season Two arrived on Tuesday, July 2, and it brought major changes to the wildly popular Battle Royale shooter.
Whether you’re playing the game for free or buying the $10 Battle Pass, there’s a ton to know about the second season of “Apex Legends.”
Or maybe you just want to know how big the download is, and when it’ll be out? (Hint: it’s out now!) We’ve got that covered, too:
SEE ALSO: 8 reasons why ‘Apex Legends’ is the best Battle Royale game available
First and foremost: the basic details about the update itself.
The season two update to “Apex Legends” started rolling out around 1:00 PM ET on July 2, and the download is sizeable: somewhere around 20 GB on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and somewhere around 18 GB on PC.
The reason behind the massive file size is simple: it’s a new “build” of the game. You’re basically re-downloading the whole game.
“Periodically we make a fresh build of the game, with outdated content removed,” Respawn Entertainment community manager Jay Frechette said on Reddit. “So the game is faster for new players to download, more efficient, and takes up less hard drive space for everybody.”
1. Dinosaurs! Er, well, they’re called “Leviathans.”
The largest addition to “Apex Legends” — in the literal sense — is Leviathans: massive, hulking dinosaur-like creatures that roam the landscape of Kings Canyon.
“The Leviathans have breached Kings Canyon and it’ll never be the same!” the patch notes for the game say. “Many areas have been affected by our new guests.”
It’s unclear how interacting with Leviathans will go, but we do have one clue: In a trailer for the new season, a massive Leviathan foot crushes one of the game’s characters, Mirage, in the middle of a fight.
2. A new character, named Wattson.
Wattson is the latest addition to “Apex Legends” — the ninth “Legend” to be added to the game’s roster.
Like previously added characters Caustic, Mirage, and Octane, Wattson can either be purchased directly with cash for $7.50, or you can earn in-game currency to get her for free (12,000 Legend Tokens).
So, what can she do? A few things:
- Perimeter Security: Wattson’s primary special ability is erecting electric fences. When passed through by enemies, the fences act like an Arc Star — electrifying and damaging the opponent, as well as slowing them down considerably.
- Spark of Genius: Wattson’s passive ability is pretty amazing: She can fully charge her Ultimate ability with a single Ultimate Accelerant. Finally, a reason for someone other than Lifeline to pick up Ultimate Accelerants!
- Interception Pylon: And finally, Wattson’s Ultimate is a large machine that outright deflects air strikes (like the ones dropped by Gibraltar and Bangalore) and sets up a protective fence. Moreover, any of your teammates inside the perimeter of the ultimate will have their shields charged.
And here’s the video introducing Wattson:
3. An entirely new weapon: the L-Star.
Alongside the Kraber and the Mastiff, the L-Star is the newest addition to the “Gold” tier of weapons in “Apex Legends” that only land in care packages and only appear rarely. It’s a rapid-fire weapon that shoots large projectiles — it’s particularly effective at melting down shields, according to the game’s developers.
There’s no unlock involved here — the L-Star is simply a new addition to the overall game.
Check out a full trailer for the L-Star right here:
4. Major map changes.
Another major change coming to all players of “Apex Legends”: huge additions or alterations to the existing map, Kings Canyon.
As you can see above, the tower at Repulsor has been destroyed. In a previous image, there were a bunch of dragon-like creatures sitting on top of buildings not so far from Repulsor.
These are assuredly just a taste of the major structural changes happening to Kings Canyon.
5. New stuff to unlock, new challenges to complete, and a stats page (!!).
Yes: With Tuesday’s update, new skins for characters and weapons are coming to “Apex Legends.”
But in addition to that stuff, there are some entirely new unlockable baubles. Starting Tuesday, you can unlock music packs (for the music that plays while you’re dropping to the island), emotes for characters as they descend from the sky, and loading screens while you’re, uh, waiting for the game to load.
Perhaps most importantly, there’s finally a stats screen that will just tell you how well you’re doing with any given character.
But let’s be real: There are tons of changes in the new update, and if you want to dig all the way you should check out the patch notes right here.

Marc Antony Speech Essay - 484 Words - StudyMode.
The speech greatly calmed down tempers and many felt that a major civil war was averted by Antony. However, at the funeral of Caesar, Antony revealed to full gathering of people the horrors of crime perpetrated against their beloved Consul. His magical speech turned the tidings at once against Brutus and Cassius, both of whom, along with their supporters fled the Rome the same night to escape.
Marc Antony's funeral oration is marked by his use of reverse psychology as he announces the opposite of his intentions in his speech to the Romans. In this way, he effectively achieves his goal.
Mark Antony's Speech in Context. Mark Antony's speech from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar has become justly famous as an example of skilled rhetoric. People still say 'Friends, Romans, countrymen.
In Mark Antony's funeral oration for Caesar, we have not only one of Shakespeare's most recognizable opening lines but one of his finest examples of rhetorical irony at work. The speech could serve as a thematic synopsis to Julius Caesar. Perhaps more than any other of Shakespeare's works, Julius Caesar is a play that hinges upon rhetoric—both as the art of persuasion and an artifice used to.
Mark Antony was a man who possessed loyalty. However, with Antony, loyalty to friends and to that of his country did not conflict. He saw Caesar for what he truly was, a noble Roman. Antony was a wise man. Not being sure of the conspirators plot, he gave them a fair chance to justify their unjustifiable assassination. When wise Antony saw no reason for the death of Caesar he played smart.
The noble Brutus hath told you Caesar was ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it. Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest— For Brutus is an honorable man; So are they all, all honorable men— Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral.

Have any of you read this book by Richard Swenson? He talks about the need for a cushion around your life. Whether it’s our finances, physical energy, sleep, emotional stress, or time, we are not made to live right at the edges. If we live within the American culture, he encourages us to intentionally carve out extra space within our lives. This enables us to live and minister sustainably, and avoid disease and burnout.
This is an appealing topic for most of us, and begs some questions. Is it biblical to set limits on what we will do and how much we will give? Is it loving to construct boundaries towards certain people in our lives? Can these concepts be taken to an extreme, and used to justify selfishness and unhealthy introspection?
Probably, and I won’t attempt to dice out all the possible scenarios here. Certainly even good advice (or Scripture) can be twisted and distorted by a deviant heart. But the popularity of both “Margin” and “Boundaries” speaks to a need within the American Christian subculture.
We are a productivity driven culture, and seem to derive our self-esteem and meaning in life from busyness. As nature abhors a vacuum, we seem to have a need to fill empty places in our lives and calendars with more activities. We need a career, a full social life, a happy family life, and some kind of altruistic activity. All this is done in the name of “balance” and “pursuit of happiness”, or maybe the abundant life.
But somewhere along the road we find ourselves frazzled, irritable, looking old and feeling tired all the time. In trying to “have it all” we may feel that we’ve lost the essence of what we have. We love our kids, but how often do we really enjoy them, and just stop and marvel at the ever-changing miracle they are? We are committed to our spouses, but do we remember what it felt like when we fell in love with them? We stop enjoying exercise, cooking, yard work, and just perform it for it’s utilitarian benefit. We can’t remember our vocational calling, and work is full of tedium and drudgery. We are still devoted to God, but it has been awhile since we felt His presence or clearly sensed Him guiding and speaking to us.
How is it that this life, vitality within us gradually erodes? Perhaps it is the result of living in a culture that abhors margin. Mothers feel inadequate for not “working”. We return from a weekend or vacation to the question “What did you do?” Hardly anyone sleeps 8 hours a night, though we all know it’s needed. Stores skip Thanksgiving to open early for the shopper scramble. We cause accidents by trying to type and drive simultaneously.
So now comes the hard question; how can we take back our margin?
This is what it has looked like for me personally. When I was in residency, I felt like medicine was a hungry amoeba that had sucked up everything else in my life. I no longer had time for friends, my hobbies had mostly disappeared, and the stress I brought home was testing my young marriage. I made a resolution then, that my life would not always be that way. And when I graduated I rejected the prestige of fellowship training and the shiny full-time salary, and took a locums job. This part-time doctor has never looked back. I work two days a week, and the rest of the time I’m with my kids. Medicine is really fulfilling part-time because I have a chance to refill my compassion tank before taking on the problems of two dozen more hurting people. Hobbies like gardening, music, language study, cooking and reading have come back into my life. I actually have time for quality conversations with friends. I have some energy to pray and do Bible study with others. My husband and I have time to build new memories together and hear each other’s hearts.
And yet, it is still a struggle. Children (gift that they are) have become the new margin stealers. They wake me up at night. My days at home are filled with distraction and minor crises. Space to think must be stolen during nap time (if I’m not taking one myself) or at night if I choose to stay up and pay for it later. I still must be intentional to cling to that sense of higher purpose in life, in all I do, and not become the task performing hamster on the wheel. I am learning, slowly, not to fill up every blank in the calendar with something I need to do or someone I need to see. I am learning to stop and take a breath and really see these little gifts before me, to see them in their beautiful transient cuteness, and savor the myriad fleeting moments of life, both past and present. I am learning to invite God into these moments, to ask Him what He has for me in them, to believe that (in some way) they are a good gift from Him. Margin is a practical word, something you can be intentional about and work on, but in the end it is a state of mind. It is carving out and building in order to protect what is most valuable.

Thesis - Open Access
Master of Science (MS)
Department / School
Pitting corrosion of stainless steel (SS) is observed in many different industries including the dairy industry. It is of concern, because it weakens the steel, and can cause cracking. Any replacement or repair of SS equipment is very costly and also causes delays in product manufacture. Microbial Induced Corrosion (MIC) is a possible accelerator of natural corrosion seen in galvanized steel pipes. Studies have shown a correlation between surface roughness and the ability of bacteria to colonize and form biofilms. Dairy industry utilizes higher food grade SS 304 and 316. However, even these relatively corrosion resistant stainless steel grades may experience some pitting corrosion. These two grades have compositional differences that lead to differences in their resistance to corrosion. This study compares the ability of thermoduric bacterial biofilms to cause microbiologically induced corrosion on SS 304 and SS 316 coupons. High Heat Resistant Spore forming (HHRS) bacteria such as Bacillus sporothermodurans, and Geobacillus stearothermophilus were used to study the development of pitting corrosion on polished and unpolished coupon surfaces of SS 304 and SS 316. Studies also investigated the ability of mixed species biofilms to induce pitting corrosion. Additionally, potential of leaching of any heavy metals from corroded surfaces of the coupons that were exposed to mixed species biofilms under milk environment was studied. Experiments were xxii conducted to evaluate the effects of Clean-In-Place (CIP) chemicals on enhancement of pre-formed pitting corrosions due to microbial biofilms. It can be concluded from this study that both SS 304 and 316 support the development of thermoduric biofilms. Both polished and unpolished surfaces supported the biofilm formation. Biofilm formation, as evaluated by viable cell counts technique, showed the highest embedded cells in the case of B. sporothermodurans, as compared to G. stearothermophilus or a mixed species biofilm of the two species. Mono species thermoduric bacterial biofilms of B. sporothermodurans, G. stearothermophilus, and the mixed species of both could induce pitting corrosion on SS 304 and 316 coupons under lab conditions. Both unpolished and polished surfaces proved susceptible to pitting corrosion. Induction of pitting was found to occur within just one week on SS 304, when exposed to multispecies biofilm environment. On the other hand, pitting corrosion occurred after 2 weeks on both grades of SS exposed to thermophilic biofilm of G. stearothermophilus. Both grades of SS exposed to biofilm of B. sporothermodurans had first signs of pitting after 4 weeks. This proves that mixed species biofilm had most detrimental effect on SS in terms of induction of pitting corrosion, and SS 304 proved to be less corrosion resistant as compared to SS 316. Pits observed on unpolished surfaces were in the form of large craters, which were very widely distributed. These pits also had pinhole like structures inside the craters. Pit morphology observed on unpolished surfaces of either grade was found to be comparable. On the other hand, pits seen on polished coupons were deep and scattered, and had corrosion products deposited as debris either outside or inside the pits. The pit morphology observed on polished surfaces of either grade appeared alike. More numbers xxiii of pits were always observed on unpolished surfaces as compared to polished surfaces of both grades of SS. This proved that unpolished surfaces were more vulnerable to microbial pitting attack as compared to polished surfaces of either grade. An increase in elemental Oxygen and Sulfur, and a decrease in Iron in the pits, was demonstrated by Elemental Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), which confirmed the presence of corrosion products, and hence MIC. The presence of large amounts of Iron in the used up milk suspension indicated the leaching out of Iron from microbially induced pit surfaces into the spent milk during the course of pitting or its induction. No leaching of Nickel and Chromium was observed. The CIP treatments of SS 304 coupons, with preformed pitting corrosion, resulted in some enhancement of pitting corrosion after 5 cleaning cycles. Under similar cleaning treatments, SS 316 coupons proved resistant to any enhancement of corrosion of preformed microbially induced pits by cleaning chemicals up to five cleaning cycles. This study validates the currently held opinion of higher corrosion resistance of SS 316 as compared to SS 304. It is recommended to conduct further plant scale studies or studies under continuous systems such as a bioreactor to ascertain if the induction of pitting corrosion or heavy metal leaching would occur at the same scale as exhibited by the lab scale system. Studies for optimizing CIP chemical concentration, contact time, and temperature need to be conducted, to avoid any adverse effects of CIP cycles on SS surfaces.

Ever since Durant announced his desire to leave the Nets, people have been eager to discover where his new home will be.
Yet…we haven’t heard anything since the initial news leaked.
This offseason has been one of the most eventful – and one of the most uneventful at the same time.
Mitchell to the Knicks. Kyrie to the Lakers. Durant to the Raptors. Let's go already, NBA GMs. https://t.co/kWjgDAdu1t
— J.E. Skeets (@jeskeets) August 16, 2022
NBA analyst J.E. Skeets feels he has waited long enough.
“Mitchell to the Knicks. Kyrie to the Lakers. Durant to the Raptors. Let’s go already, NBA GMs,” Skeets said on Twitter.
His desire to see these big deals happen is shared by many other NBA fans – but will they get their wishes?
No NBA Moves
Durant might end up playing in Toronto and Mitchell might move to New York and Irving might make his way to the Lakers.
Then again, maybe none of that will happen.
While there have been talks among several teams and a lot of rumors, none of it has resulted in anything substantial.
There is a very good chance that all of these packages come together but there is also a good chance that they all fizzle out.
The Durant situation is most interesting because it could act as a domino effect.
If Durant is traded then other players, such as Irving, will likely be dealt away too.
And of course, their moves would radically change the entire NBA and the chances of many teams within it.
We could hear news about any of these trades happening at any moment – or we could be entering training camp without any of them coming to fruition.

The national leadership of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) has called on leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to advise its member representing Ahoada East federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Bob Solomon, to withdraw a bill he sponsored, seeking to delist local government system from Nigeria’s 1999 constitution.
Speaking during an advocacy visit to former President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, in his country home, Otuoke, the national president of NULGE, Comrade Olatunji Ambali, pleaded with the former president to support the union’s advocacy, adding that anything other than this would kill democracy at the grassroots level.
He further said: “We have carefully chosen you and former president Olusegun Obasanjo to ask for support towards the actualisation of local government council autonomy. We started the struggle in 2016 and the 7th and 8th assembly graciously passed the LGA autonomous bill into law.
“But we ran into mucky waters during the transmission to states for concurrence whereby some of the governors threatened speakers of their various assemblies not to give concurrence to the law. This is where we were, when surprisingly another diversionary tactics was introduced into the agitation.
“A member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Bob Solomon, representing Ahoada East Federal Constituency sponsored a bill for the delisting of local government councils from the 1999 constitution. When we heard it, we thought it was a child’s play but it is not anymore with the way things are going now.”
In his reaction, Dr. Goodluck said to ensure that the dividends of democracy trickle down to Nigerians at the grassroots level, the National Assembly must make laws that would make local government councils stronger, autonomous and have powers to generate revenue to drive development at the grassroots level.
He said if he were a member of the National Assembly, he would mobilise members to amend sections in the 1999 construction of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that would totally prohibit the appointment of local government chairman and give the people at grassroots level power to decide who leads them through election.
He said the local government system is the oldest globally accepted means through which government impact positively on the lives of the people at the grassroots level and any bill targeted at delisting it from the constitution is an abuse to democratic tenets and procedures.
He said “the problem with Nigeria is that our local government structure is still very weak. And whatever restructuring we are talking about, finally, Nigerians must sit down to discuss. And the issue of local government autonomy must be considered.
“As long as we have weak local governments, we would have difficulty managing this country. The way it is now, the person who runs the state, runs the LGAs and that makes nonsense of the whole concept of the third tier of government. The president should manage the nation, governors should manage the states and chairmen should be allowed to run he local councils.”

Chaired by New York-based curator and educator Işın Önol, the second panel will be of artists who have work in the exhibition. Ali M.

What are the consequences of the stereotypes about labour migrants? How does they affect the lives of migrants and the local population of the host country? Why is it necessary to address the issues of overcoming the stereotypical perception of labour migrants in a society and who should do this?
The first episode of the “They Say” Podcast focuses on the stereotypes associated with labour migrants. The hosts from Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan Olya Kovaleva and Muslimbek Buriev focused on this topic for a reason. For all Central Asian countries, the issue of migration is important, since every year an increasing number of citizens leaves to work abroad.
Meanwhile, the positive and negative news related to labour migrants regularly appear in the media. Some of them are capable of shaping public opinion. The hosts turned to Anar Musabaeva, an independent political scientist, author of materials on migrants for her expert opinion, and discussed the difference between the “expat” and “labour migrant” concepts.

Moderate Alcohol Consumption May Affect Blood’s Ability to Clot
In recent years, studies have shown that drinking alcoholic beverages—in moderation—can reduce your risk for heart disease. But there’s a flip side. Moderate alcohol consumption can also increase your risk for hemorrhagic ]]>stroke]]> , a type of stroke caused by bleeding in the brain. Clotting is the common thread. A clot in an already narrowed artery can lead to a ]]>heart attack]]> , while lack of clotting in an injured blood vessel in the brain can lead to hemorrhagic stroke.
Blood clots form when platelets in the blood aggregate , or cluster, to stem the flow of blood. When bleeding occurs, platelets are activated . They become stickier, thereby allowing them to adhere to the wall of the injured blood vessel. If blood cannot properly clot, it can lead to unchecked bleeding.
Blood thinners are a category of drugs that interfere with the blood’s ability to clot. Scientists have speculated that moderate alcohol consumption acts like a blood thinner.
Previous studies have suggested that moderate drinking interferes with the ability of platelets to aggregate. But to date, no one has studied whether alcohol consumption affects platelet activation.
In a study published in the October 2005 Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research , researchers confirm previous findings that moderate alcohol consumption reduces the ability of platelets to aggregate. They also report that platelet activation is diminished in moderate drinkers.
About the Study
The researchers used data collected from individuals enrolled in the Framingham Offspring Study. The study participants were children of participants in the original Framingham Heart Study. For this study, researchers excluded individuals with any type of cardiovascular disease including heart attack, ]]>congestive heart failure]]> , or stroke.
The study participants provided their medical history, including age, smoking status, physical activity level, body mass index, fasting total cholesterol, and presence or absence of diabetes and ]]>high blood pressure]]> . They also responded to a questionnaire that asked about the average amount of beer, wine, and liquor they consumed per week.
The researchers collected blood samples from all of the study subjects. The ability of blood platelets to aggregate was measured in 879 men and 1,134 women, and the ability of blood platelets to activate was measured in 460 men and 577 women.
The level of platelet activation was significantly lower in men consuming three to six alcoholic beverages per week than in men consuming fewer than three drinks per week. Drinking more than six alcoholic beverages per week did not further reduce platelet activation to a significant degree. The relationship between alcohol consumption and platelet activation was not significant in women.
Both men and women who drank three to six alcoholic beverages per week had significantly less platelet aggregation than men and women who had fewer than three drinks per week.
Although the researchers took relevant factors such as body mass index and smoking status into account, it is possible that the study results are due to other factors that were not considered.
How Does This Affect You?
This study showed that moderate alcohol consumption acts as a blood thinner. However, this was an observational study, and as such it did not address whether the blood-thinning effects of alcohol are responsible for its association with decreased heart attacks and increased hemorrhagic strokes.
This study is unlikely to affect the behavior of anyone who already drinks responsibly. But drinking can quickly get out of control, and the negative consequences of heavy drinking far outweigh any potential health benefits of drinking in moderation. So if you don’t drink, no study should convince you to start.

Comments by sfsjkid [Rating: As a result, she is forced to work as a servant in order to pay off her school bills. Shoojo have seen some of these actors act decently before, so it’s obviously the fault of the director, whose ideals of good acting involves “more screaming”, Seira can’t even read a fairy tale without raising her voice.
Comments by Ka-chan [Rating: Must watch for any Shida Mirai fan though. There is no way today in Japan or in England or the US that a child would be treated this way at least legally Protective services would at least provide food and shelter to any orphaned child, so this fact is glossed over in the Japanese version, and makes it not as believable.

It was a lovely fluffy book for the holidays. Occupied my mind while working on Christmas gifts. Much better story an the Hallmark movie of the same piece.
intriguing refreshing nostalgic
did not have fav as they are all integral. you start out with one person not being as important and they turn out to be critical.
good to do while doing housework, etc
Retired CFO, Army wife, Mom of five, Grandma of six, two sons who served in combat, love to read books that reflect my values and faith, love mysteries, historical, military stories, and books that don't waste my time . . . if it doesn't have an ending that was worth the wait, I'm not a happy camper.
This sweet, funny story is full of the unexpected . . . and a comedy of errors . . . and like all of Debbie Macomber's books has the healing balm of love, forgiveness, and learning from our own mistakes. And just like life, sometimes we find ourselves in situations we would never choose, but really NEED to get us out of the rut we are in. Great listen for the holidays.
I would because it's a perfect holiday read.
Macomber creates an inescapable world for her readers to revel in, the descriptions and narrative are so vivid that you cannot help but picture everything. At the same time everything remains realistic and in the moment. This was one of her best Christmas stories. Full of family and Christmas cheer. I really loved the Christmas world building and the pictures painted by the author. You'll finish this book with a smile on your face.
There was so much comedy through out the book, that is hard for me to just pick my favorite scene.
It will crack you up and want to bake cookies and decorate your Christmas tree!
What a sweet read. Yes, we know when Debbie Macomber writes a book that we are going to get a solid, good read and this book met the mark. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it while on a trip. This was one of those stories where you knew what was going to happen, but it is the season to be joyful and this book kept you in that mood. Good job!
This may possibly bet the funniest, most unique Christmas story that I’ve ever read. Macomber throws her cast of characters into some very unique situations that you can’t help but laugh at. She creates an inescapable world for her readers to revel in. Macomber’s descriptions and narrative are so vivid that you cannot help but picture everything. At the same time everything remains realistic and in the moment.
Macomber’s brilliant cast carries this story forward without a hitch. Getting to know these characters was a uniquely thought provoking time. As a reader you get to know the main characters and the supporting cast alike. I quite enjoyed getting to know them.
Overall this was a captivatingly hilarious read that I’d definitely recommend.
I was looking for something lighthearted and fun to read during the crazy chaos of Christmas time to relieve stress. This was a fun and enjoyable book for that. It is a fun story of a comedy of errors that lead to romance. I enjoyed it!
My advice is to NOT watch the movie on TV. Listen to the book because the movie is depressing at times and the book is uplifting and funny. So much was left out or altered in the movie. My husband kept telling me that it's written according to the book not the acutal events in the book. Too bad because I was looking for the events and they never came. This Christmas I will listen to it again and forget the movie. Thanks Debbie Macomber for the heartwarming Christmas story.
I was looking for a sweet, mindless listen that had something to do with Christmas and a happy ending. This fit the bill nicely. The narration is fine, the story is fine.
I live on an island off the coast of Maine. Since I installed a "doggie door" I am now retired from "Letting The Dogs In and Out"!
I would listen to it again if I was sharing it on a road trip with a friend.
Lighthearted and funny. It put me in the Christmas spirit.

Whether you’re running a fleet of container ships, manage a power plant or look after heavy machinery, running a business is tough. One thing remains constant across all industries, however, and that’s the need to keep on top of costs. That’s where service agreements come in.
With the ability to turn often unexpected and untimely capital costs into more predictable and manageable operating costs, a service agreement can make all the difference to the success of your company.
Service agreements effectively act as insurance. Run an engine for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and it’s inevitable that parts will wear out. This can be incredibly expensive on a number of levels, not just because of the cost of replacement parts and fitting, but also because of the costs you’re likely to incur through unplanned downtime.
If the turbine blades in your engine’s turbocharger wear and need replacing, for example, can you afford the cost of not being able to deliver a service? How long will it take to source the relevant parts? Do you have the finances in place to cover such capital expenditure?
A service agreement can remove these unknowns, covering anything from just spare parts sold on a one-time basis, to something far more comprehensive that can be included into ongoing operating expenses (OPEX), with maintenance management agreements helping to deliver far more predictable costs.
Rolf Bosma, Executive Director and President at Turbo Systems United Co. Ltd., explains:
“We can manage the diverse needs of our customers with a unique service agreement concept, designed to address our customers’ unique business needs. Let’s say it’s about budget, transparency or maintenance management; whatever their requirements, a service agreement can be tailor made to the customer’s needs.”
Opting for a service agreement will see your company pay a fixed sum of money per month. The benefits are plentiful, making it easier to stay on top of both maintenance and costs, and there are other benefits as well.
Customers with service agreements will be higher priorities when it comes to sourcing parts, for example, and the ability to replace parts and get your engine running properly again in the shortest time possible can make a huge difference to the downtime of your machinery.
Add in planned and predictable maintenance, where you’ll be able to schedule other necessary work alongside, and it’s clear that having a service agreement in place will keep your fleet, power station or other machinery running as smoothly as possible.
The only downside to service agreements is the fact your company will be paying operating costs each and every month. Go without an agreement, and you’ll have months where you’re not paying anything in maintenance, which can seem like a more attractive proposition in the short term.
Over time, however, can you afford to take a big hit if a part wears out or fails? Can your fleet afford to be missing a ship at a vital time of year? Does your contract include penalties for the unplanned downtime of your power plant?
All of these factors are worth considering, but one thing is for certain – service agreements can remove much of the stress and unpredictability of running complex machinery, with constant operating costs making it easier to manage and predict your company’s finances.
