Choice of coffee beans
Espresso is a type of brewing method by exposing finely ground coffee powder to high brewing pressure up to 9 bar to obtain a small concentrated coffee beverage with complex flavours. To get such complex flavors, the choice of beans is the most important and is the deciding factor whether your espresso will taste amazing or completely undrinkable.
- Start by choosing whole espresso beans that are as freshly roasted as possible. Old coffee is more difficult to brew and usually gives a very bitter taste. The reason why you should choose whole beans is because pre-ground coffee will never give as good results as whole beans. You also lose the ability to choose your own grind level which is an important factor when it comes to getting good espresso.
- Always choose whole coffee beans that the roaster recommends for espresso brewing. It will usually say so on the coffee bag. If the roaster recommends the coffee for espresso brewing, it usually means that the coffee has its highest potential through that particular type of brewing.
- It is very important that the beans are ground just before brewing so that the coffee does not lose its good flavours and aromas.
Grind your espresso beans
Grinding for espresso brewing means that the coffee has to be ground much finer compared to brewing coffee. Hence, it is important that the coffee grinder itself is made for espresso brewing. Many grinders used for brewing coffee usually are not capable of grinding as finely as espresso requires. Therefore, before you buy an espresso machine make sure that you have a grinder that can grind coffee for espresso brewing. Many espresso machines for home use usually have an integrated grinder such as the Sage Barista Express, Sage Barista Pro and Sage Barista Touch which are one of the most popular choices. In such cases, you don't have to worry.
There are two different types of espresso grinders. The first is a grinder with conical grinding discs. The second is flat grinding discs and is most commonly used in commercial espresso machines and expensive home espresso machines. Both have their pros and cons but both types give very good results when it comes to the actual taste of the coffee.
Press the puck before brewing
The word "tamp" in espresso brewing means to press ground coffee in a cup into a compact puck. If the ground coffee is not evenly distributed in the cup, it can result in uneven brewing and leave a mixture of bitter and sour taste on the coffee. Therefore, it is important to consider getting the coffee evenly distributed in the beaker before pressing the puck.
temperature of the water you brew is an important part of the process. As a general rule, you should start with a brewing temperature of about 93 degrees. Usually espresso machines are already set to the correct brewing temperature from the factory but if they are not after measuring, you can change the brewing temperature on most espresso machines. Dark roast is usually recommended to be brewed at lower temperatures more towards 90 degrees while light roast requires higher temperatures of up to 96 degrees. If you want to know more about how brewing temperature affects the taste of your coffee and how you can use it to your advantage please read our article: Everything you need to know about espresso.

OPINION — The opening moments of Tuesday’s San Angelo City Council meeting were weird, and there were a few moving parts in how this happened. Let me explain.
The show began when former City of San Angelo Development Corporation Vice Chair John Bariou, with his long white beard and businesslike red Christmas attire, staged his grand comeback – not for money, mind you, but for the sheer thrill of civic engagement.
He went in front of the council and delivered an ultimatum and a threat. Bariou was not re-appointed to COSA-DC back in February 2023 and has since been plotting his next big move. The crazy thing is that Bariou makes no money off of his efforts. The mayor doesn’t make much more considering all of the time and abuse. The City pays her $4,200 per year.
Bariou claimed that the city was supposed to be a city manager-city council centric form of government, as set forth in San Angelo’s ordinances. Instead, he alleged, the city has become a strong mayor form of government because the mayor directs everything. Let’s watch:
What Bariou alleges without mentioning names is that Mayor Brenda Gunter rules the City with an iron fist, overshadowing the leadership of City Manager Daniel Valenzuela, and subjectively, this is against the city charter. In Bariou’s mind, an example of a strong mayor form of city government that works as designed and is legally that way is the City of Houston where Mayor Sylvester Turner rules Houston, with a much larger salary and responsibilities than a city manager would have in any other Texas city.
As a side note, Turner’s term is almost up, and guess who is running to replace him? Sheila Jackson Lee, the congresswoman who was caught on tape cussing out a staffer. That staffer was later found dead. She also has compared the Tea Party Movement to the Ku Klux Klan. And, even though she represents the city where the NASA Space Center is located, she once asked if the Mars Pathfinder robot had taken a picture of the US flag left there by Astronaut Neil Armstrong in 1969. The flag was planted on the Moon, not Mars.
Gunter is no Sheila Jackson Lee or Sylvester Turner. In fact, she is the opposite. She’s smart and generally pretty conservative and knows the difference between Mars and the Moon. Gunter has pushed for bigger tax cuts than the council would agree to. In 2021, after she declared that taxpayers have been screwed over for years and deserve a big property tax break, the city manager whispered to her, and by the next meeting, she demurred, praising government workers who were underpaid. Gunter’s desire for deeper tax cuts was juxtaposed against city employee pay raises — and the payroll is the biggest piece of the general revenue budget. Despite her iron fist ways, she walked back her lower tax rhetoric to tend to the needs of city workers because the city manager made a convincing argument that the City was 30-40 percent undermanned and recruitment during the trans-post COVID environment was miserably bad.
Bariou is beside himself because Gunter opposed his tenure on COSA-DC where, towards the end of his public service there, and before he was not asked to return, he alleged a financial scheme that would make Ponzi blush, where the city was overcharging the half-cent sales tax pot of money to the tune of over $300,000 a year to prop up salaries of the top managers at the city. Of course, the city staff denies this, why wouldn’t they? Yet, since the demise of Bariou’s term on COSA-DC, no one has seriously looked into the financial tricks used to tap economic development funds for higher pay for city bosses. Bariou was replaced by Gunter’s lap dog, Rick Mantooth, whose entire existence on earth is defined by a giant sucking sound, or kissing sound. Choose your metaphor.
Now, Bariou has returned to demand Gunter stop being the mayor and instead fold back into the background and let City Manager Valenzuela call the shots with council approval. Hyperbole doesn’t begin to describe Bariou’s demands and the dreadful consequences. Let’s watch some more:
Bariou basically claims that he has a multitude of citizen activists who stand ready to conduct a recall election if the “council-manager” form of government doesn’t emerge before January 1, 2024. Bariou's deadline for this governmental makeover is just around the corner, and transforming San Angelo's governance in five weeks is like asking Santa to slim down by Christmas Eve.
Bariou will need to exert significant effort to gather enough signatures for a recall election of the mayor. The City charter requires that the recall petition be signed in front of the person collecting the signatures and that person must notarize the sheet. You can’t just post a petition on the bulletin board at H-E-B or conduct a change.org online petition. The petition sheets have to be supplied by the city clerk and are officially numbered, too. The signors of the petition have to supply their address, date of birth, and voter identification number.
Under these strict requirements, which resemble a bureaucratic obstacle course rather than a recall petition, obtaining enough signatures to amount to 30 percent of the number of votes cast in the 2021 mayoral election means Bariou and his hidden army of activists have to get about 1,803 signatures — there were 6,009 votes cast in the 2021 mayoral election. Folks, that’s a bunch of signatures to collect! I’ll go ahead and make the prediction that Bariou will fall short.
A recall petition isn’t the problem. Rather, it is the perception this side show at Tuesday's council meeting can make among casual observers of city government.
Bariou’s declaration can be interpreted as a default judgment, so to speak, allowing many to assume the worst of our elected leaders and the city manager’s staff. If Santa Claus says you are corrupt, well, you must be corrupt until proven otherwise.
City Manager Daniel Valenzuela tried to answer Bariou’s allegations, declaring that the institution he leads — with or without Mayor Brenda Gunter — is not corrupt.
Valenzuela is right. The city does touch many parts of everyday life in San Angelo — including water, municipal court, public safety, parks, basketball leagues, and even entertainment venues. And, like most local governments swirling around in post-COVID cash, the city does have a healthy fund balance.
San Angeloans should pay particularly close attention when Valenzuela suggested that indiscriminately firing the mayor or council members is not a solution to anything. I couldn’t agree more. Not because I love politicians but because I have no visibility into whom Bariou plans to replace Mayor Gunter with. I mean, the last time Gunter ran for mayor, she was opposed by who Fred Contrares, head of the Pachyderm Club, claimed was a “stripper." Has Bariou been to Desiree's yet in search of Gunter’s replacement? I must know that answer before I jump "all-in" on the recall effort. Recall ‘em all is a great slogan until you ask the next question: with whom do we replace our mayor?
Here’s how the mayor responded to Bariou’s assault:
Gunter, under fire for just about everything, interrupted the Bariou controversy to proclaim that she doesn’t want police to write more tickets and she wanted to solve the canine chaos on Jackson Street. It was almost surreal unless you understand Gunter. Her remarks were intended to show that she was ignoring Bariou. If you’ve watched her at city council for any length of time, you’d have to chuckle.
I watched the budget session when Gunter inquired as to why the revenue from municipal court was trending downward over a number of years. She asked a legitimate question. The police union (that doesn’t want to be called a union), called the San Angelo Police Officers’ Coalition (SAPOC), pounced and declared that Gunter was asking police to break the law and meet ticket-writing quotas. The background of SAPOC’s protest was that at the time, the city manager and SAPOC were deadlocked in salary negotiations. Publicly advertising the misinterpretation of Gunter’s ticket-writing remarks was swirling around in their effort to get more money for police from the taxpayers.
Still, voters were concerned about their chances of paying for more traffic tickets. The answer we have from the police department is that the department maximizes the use of warnings and does not have a reduction in citizen engagements. Tickets are used less often, and of course, the police department is monitoring traffic safety, which is, they say, doing fine. Okay. We can go along with that because no one wants a $200 traffic ticket for traveling 37 mph in a 35 mph zone.
What the police would not say on the record is that the 2020 BLM riots have somewhat subdued policing not just in San Angelo but everywhere. No police officer wants to be accused of doing something “politically incorrect,” and police also desire for the citizens to love them again. Fewer traffic tickets are the trade for better goodwill. When was the last time Police Chief Frank Carter unleashed the radar cops on the overpass of the Houston Harte expressway? I don’t fault the mayor for asking the question. No one else on council was brave enough to ask that question, and it was a pretty good one!
But the police thing had nothing to do with Bariou. And that was the mayor’s point. She was saying she had more important issues to worry about than Bariou’s ‘consequences.’ After all, big mean dogs are eating little dogs on Jackson Street, and we need to solve that problem, she also proclaimed.
The biggest news of this weird exchange at council on Tuesday came from Councilman Tom Thompson. He asked City Attorney Theresa James if Mayor Gunter could run for a third term even though San Angelo City Council members and the mayor are term-limited to two four-year terms.
Mayor Gunter’s term is up in May 2025. What Thompson’s purpose may have been was to warn Bariou and his (so far invisible) army of activists standing at the ready with recall petitions that Gunter could resign as mayor days prior to her current term and run for what could effectively be a third term. I highly doubt Gunter would do that. But Thompson was playing chess while Bariou was waiting for someone to make the next move in his game of checkers.

Staunton, September 28 – The Belarusian revolution, Roman Shamolin, an anthropologist at Novosibirsk’s Open University says, is best understood as “a revolution of individuals” as there is no central leadership or party program but rather “an inexhaustible personal inspiration which arises in an unpredictable fashion and spreads everywhere.”
Few especially among Russians who are inclined to pessimism could believe this was possible, he continues, but without all the aids Russians have convinced themselves are necessary, Belarus’ “Slavic spring has not ended.” Instead, it comes back every weekend as an inspiration to itself and others (echo.msk.ru/blog/shamolin/2716327-echo/).
What explains this and what makes the Belarusian events so special is that the people there are pursuing not just the ouster of a dictator or a change in institutions but a kind of utopia in which their dreams of a better life in which they will be in charge will finally be realized for them.
Thirty years ago, Soviet citizens were almost unanimous in viewing any utopia “as the dark side of human existence.” There were good reasons for that given that people had lived under the Soviet regime which in soulless and often sadistic ways sought to impose its “Big Project” on the population.
Because of its internal contradictions, that utopia fell apart and with it the system and country created in its name. “But utopias do not belong only to the state or to some party, Shamolin continues. “They are created not by their forces but only used by them. A utopia is born in the consciousness (or unconsciousness) of the individual.”
That which the Belarusians want and are inspired to pursue now is “not simply the overthrow” of Lukashenka. Rather they are experiencing a foretaste of utopia when individuals are in a position to renew the world and, as a result, your thoughts and feelings become clearer and deeper than they were.
“This is a very intimate and personal state,” he says. “It can’t be awakened by slogans or the will or charismatic leaders.” Rather it arises in the confrontation between individuals and injustice. And that is why it has such power to mobilize people who aren’t being mobilized by anything else.
And the pursuit of such goals, even more than their achievement, serves as a constant source of inspiration and action. One can even say that “movement toward utopia is one of the strongest human characteristics one can experience. Not the achievement of utopia but movement toward it.” That is what is on view in Belarus now.
And that is why Russians and others can’t turn away. “The Belarusian utopia of democracy carries within itself now much more meaning and hope than all realized democracies known to us.” It is something even greater than hope; it is inspiration itself on the march – and that is why Belarusians keep showing up and why Russians can’t avoid watching them do so.

Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging
Cardiac computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging yield superior anatomic data than echocardiography since they allow better definition of the anterolateral wall and tip of the left ventricle and the right ventricle. However, these procedures are more costly and the former exposes the patient to radiation (M. Maron et al., 2009). (Fig. 16 ) Nevertheless, they are very useful when thoracic deformities prevent satisfactory cardiac visualization by transthoracic echocardiography. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance has also demonstrated that mitral leaflet elongation is present in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy independently of other phenotypic variants indicating that the mitral abnormalities are primary, thus, their important role in the pathophysiology of the left ventricular outflow obstruction (M. Maron, et al.; 2011). On the other hand, gadolinium magnetic resonance imaging late enhancement allows detection of the amount of myocardial fibrosis and is a predictor of systolic dysfunction (M. Maron et al., 2008). A more recent study reports that is also effective for prognostication of adverse outcomes and which patients might require a cardioverter-defibrillator (Fig. 17) (Bruder et al., 2010).

B: Long axis view of a cardiac magnetic resonance image of the heart of a 9 year-old boy with a localized delayed gadolinium enhancement image in the interventricular septum (arrow).
Cardiac catheterization and cineangiocardiography
We owe to cardiac catheterization and cineangiocardiography the initial understanding of the physiopathology of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy shortly after its rediscovery about half a century ago (Braunwald et al., 1964; Wigle, Auger & Marquis, 1967). These techniques were then considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. (Fig. 18) With the advent of the just discussed noninvasive imaging techniques like Doppler-echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, this invasive procedure is no longer necessary for diagnostic purposes. Nowadays, this method is only used before planned surgical treatment or percutaneous interventions for septal reduction.

Left ventricular cineangiocardiogram in the right anterior oblique projection showing a hypertrophied chamber with subaortic obstruction and moderate mitral insufficiency with left atrial enlargement. B. In the left anterior oblique view the anterior mitral valve can be seen contacting the septum. LV: left ventricle; LA: left atrium; MV: mitral valve.
Sudden death and congestive heart failure
The main complications in children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are syncope and sudden unexpected death. The latter may be the first and only manifestation of the disease and is considered to be secondary to ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation caused by myocardial fibrosis and ischemia (Basso et al., 2000; B.J. Maron et al., 2000b). Sudden death occurs more often in older children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy either during strenuous sport activities or at rest but is infrequent in infants (B.J. Maron et al., 2003a) who are more prone to present and die with congestive heart failure specially in secondary forms (Bruno et al., 2002).
Supraventricular and nonsustained ventricular tachycardias, were found in almost a third of pediatric and adolescent patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy studied by ambulatory electrocardiography (McKenna, et al., 1988). However, their outcome after a mean follow-up of 3 years was rather benign. In a study from our group, a quarter of the patients had symptomatic atrial or ventricular tachycardia. Three out of 7 died suddenly during follow-up (Bruno et al., 2002). Rarely, 3rd degree atrioventricular block is found in children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. They could present with near syncope or syncopal attacks as the 1st manifestation of the disease (Rosen et al., 1997).
Children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy may evolve to dilated or restrictive cardiomyopathy phenotypes in 5% of the cases. In both circumstances they have a dimmer prognosis and become candidates for heart transplantation (Biagini et al., 2005; Denfield et al., 1997; Shirani et al., 1993).
Bacterial endocarditis is an uncommon complication in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy though can occur affecting the left ventricular aspect of the anterior mitral valve leaflet, especially in the presence of obstruction (Aoun et al., 1994; Morgan-Hughes & Motwani, 2002). Antibiotic prophylaxis for infectious endocarditis is then recommended.
Ischemic stroke is somewhat frequent and a cause of death in adult hypertrophic cardiomyopathy but has not been mentioned in children (B.J. Maron et al., 2000a).
The most important differential diagnosis is with the athlete’s heart and is sometimes somewhat difficult to make. Highly trained competitive athletes may have electrocardiographic abnormalities that resemble those of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. As in this situation, the left ventricle is hypertrophied but the wall thickness as determined by echocardiography does not exceed 15 mm in diameter and the hypertrophy is symmetrical. The left ventricular cavity is dilated and the ejection fraction is normal while hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is frequently accompanied by unusual distribution of hypertrophy, the left ventricle is smaller in size (<4.5 cm) and the ejection fraction is higher than normal. Furthermore, left ventricular diastolic function is normal in young athletes but is always impaired in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (B.J. Maron, Spirito & Pelliccia, 1995b). Tissue Doppler studies has also been very useful to distinguish those patients in the "grey zone" (Cardim et al., 2003). When still in doubt regarding the diagnosis, cessation of physical activities usually results in regression of the left ventricular mass in a few weeks’ time (B.J. Maron et al.., 1993). Genetic screening might be useful when they are positive for a mutation which occurs in up to 70% of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. On the contrary, a negative test does not exclude the possibility of a mutation still not discovered.
Phenocopies and associations
A recent large epidemiologic study of the pediatric population with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy established that almost a quarter of patients with unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy do not have a sarcomeric etiology (Colan et al., 2007). These variants are called phenocopies and are listed in Table 5. They are classified as malformation syndromes, inborn errors of metabolism, and neuromuscular disorders and each group numbers about one third of the total.
Noonan’s and LEOPARD syndromes
The most common malformation syndromes associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy included in the European Society of Cardiology classification of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, are Noonan’s syndrome and its allelic variant LEOPARD syndrome, acronym for lentiginosis, electrocardiographic anomalies, ocular hypertelorism, pulmonic stenosis, abnormal male genitalia, retardation of growth, and deafness. The prevalence of Noonan,s syndrome, initially described as the Turner phenotype with normal karyotype (Noonan, 1968), is estimated in 1:2,000 births (Nora et al., 1974). (Fig. 19) It is inherited as an autosomic dominant form and nearly 80% have congenital heart disease, most frequently pulmonic valve and arterial stenoses, and atrial and ventricular septal defects. The introduction of echocardiography as a diagnostic tool, allowed the recognition of an association with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in almost a quarter of patients (Nora et al., (1975). In the Australian epidemiologic study of childhood cardiomyopathies, 28% of 80 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy had Noonan’s syndrome (Nugent et al., 2005). These patients presented earlier and had more frequent biventricular involvement. However, they did not find greater adverse events rate than in sarcomeric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In about 40-50% of patients a mutation of protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type 11 (PTPN11) is found (Type 1 Noonan’s syndrome), but this is present in 90% of LEOPARD patients (Sznajer et al., 2007; Tartaglia et al., 2001). This gene controls a series of developmental processes, among them the genesis of semilunar valves. The mutation is then mainly present in patients with heart defects but not in those with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Some related genetic conditions to Noonan’s syndrome like the Costello syndrome, the cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome, and palmo-plantar hyperkeratosis with woolly hair may also be associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (Peirone et al., 2005, Roberts et al., 2006).
Inborn errors of metabolism
Pompe’s disease or type II glycogen storage disease is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder caused by absence of the acid alpha-glucosidase enzyme (GAA) preventing the normal degradation of glycogen in the cardiac myocyte (Hers, 1963). There is an infantile type with massive cardiac enlargement as seen in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with obstruction leading to congestive heart failure and early death (Ehlers et al., 1962). A typical electrocardiogram is shown in Fig. 20. Late onset Pompe’s disease with a better outcome has also been described (Winkle et al., 2005). Enzyme replacement therapy is now available for treatment of GAA deficiency.
Fig. 19. A. Phenotype of a 10-year-old girl with Noonan’s syndrome and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. There is short stature, peculiar face, eyelid ptosis with downward slant, ocular and mammillar hypertelorism, low set ears, pterigium colli, and a prominent chest. B. Ten-year-old girl with LEOPARD syndrome. The multiple lentigines and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy became apparent long after she had been operated on for severe pulmonary valve stenosis when she was 6-month old.
Fig. 20. Typical electrocardiogram of an infant with Pompe’s disease. There is short atrioventricular conduction and biventricular hypertrophy with large voltages and no repolarization abnormalities.
Other glycogen storage diseases
A genetic study of 75 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy found that 3 out of 35 patients with negative sarcomere protein mutations had genetical defects in lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP2) responsible for the X-linked disorder Danon’s disease/Wolff-Parkinson-White in 2 of the 3, and in AMP-activated protein kinase gamma 2 (PRKAG2) in the remaining, causing Wolff-Parkinson-White/hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (Arad et al., 2005). Both conditions produce glycogen storage and might wrongly be considered as sarcomeric hypertrophic cardiomyopathies. The presence of preexcitation should point to the correct diagnosis. Type IIIa and IV glycogen storage diseases are very rare conditions caused by deficiencies in debrancher and branching enzymes respectively. These patients have muscular hypotonia with elevated creatine kinase and heart and liver involvement. There is heterogenous severity of the disease and the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is concentric. The inheritance is autosomal recessive (Kishnani et al., 2010). (Fig. 21)
Fabry’s disease, an X-linked disorder characterized by intracellular accumulation of glycosphingolipids caused by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactoside A (GLA) may result in late onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, therefore it is rare in children. The reported prevalences in adult males and females with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are 7.5 and 12% respectively (Chimenti et al., 2004; Sachdev et al., 2002). Enzyme replacement therapy for these patients is available (Eng et al., 2001).

Depends on your sample's feature size, I guess. We are using HCL liquid
etching in our electrode array fabrication. The thickness of our ITO
film is 200 nm and it's usually gone in 8 minutes. Some overetch time
will be helpful.

Styles: this is not an Anticon record. True, the sounds and song structures may be similar and comparable on many levels of musicianship. However, one thing remains apparent; Nomar Slevik's approach is intri
Others: Anticon, The Arsonists, The Pharcyde
Prior to divulging myself into describing Portland, Maine's Nomar Slevik's intriguing and mind-blowing hip-hop conceptions, one thing must be clear: this is not an Anticon record. True, the sounds and song structures may be similar and comparable on many levels of musicianship. However, one thing remains apparent; Nomar Slevik's approach is intriguingly distinctive and manages to avoid the overabundant criticism artists receive when their personal styles conflict with others, especially Anticon. Slevik's newest release, Paper Bullets, is his third album, following the mildly successful and acclaimed Purple Lights and April Foolishness and the self-released bootleg, Deadcats and Microphones.
Paper Bullets is described as an album of duets. All of the songs are built as collaborations with some of Slevik's favorite independent hip-hop artists, seventeen emcees contributing to the album. The combinations and partnerships are often implausible, mixing an immense variety of views and opinions that shape and identify the complete record and its intensity. From the Armageddon-like cadence of Mole and Demune on "Shocking Blue Day," to the breathy, sultry, and absorbing vocals of Geneva B on "Is That Your Final Cancer?," each song is constructed to exhibit each emcee's strength. Many songs will conjure comparisons to prolific hip-hop acts such as The Arsonists, The Pharcyde, and again, Anticon. Furthermore, the associated musicianship is incredibly crafted and arranged throughout the record.
With a faultless, intuitive musical accompaniment on each song, Paper Bullets is unmistakably brilliant and merits a surfeit of praise and admiration. "Metallic Smoke Screens" showcases a deep and infectious bassline accompanied with a catchy and quirky piano loop, while "Every Rapper" thickens up the pace, convoyed with a guitar arrangement that magnifies the aggressive vocal delivery. Almost spotless and eloquently crafted, Paper Bullets is an accumulation of gifted hip-hop music.
Although the two previous records established Slevik's absurd and illogic approach to hip-hop, Paper Bullets gracefully attributes to his undeniable talent. Produced, arranged and performed by Slevik himself, this record is a truly depictive analysis of his personal relationship with the music he creates and molds. On the back sleeve of Paper Bullets is this quote: "Passerby see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on their way" — Vincent Van Gogh. I urge any listener and follower of independent hip-hop music to knock on the door and walk in. Nomar Slevik will be standing inside ready to blow your mind.

Welcome to Sunday, Bangkok!
This week has seen us dropped slap bang in the middle of the hot season, with a smorgasbord of hell-like temperatures and gnashing thunderstorms for us to go about our business in.
Thailand has been in the news as well, thanks to a raided swingers party in Pattaya, a lady getting up close and personal with a durian fruit, and various celebrities summoned for questioning after it was revealed the supplements they were flogging on their social media pages were in fact just powdered milk.
Let’s see what else has been entertaining and enraging Bangkok this week…
- 1 News
- 2 Blogs
- 3 Forum Threads
- 4 YouTube
- 5 Twitter
- 6 Instagram
Much attention this week has been paid to a video of a raid on a ‘swingers party’ at a Pattaya hotel, where a number of middle-aged foreigners, including a number of Australians, Brits and Americans, were literally caught with their trousers down (and towels around their heads) in the company of multiple Thai sex workers.
Since then, reporters have investigated ads for similar sex parties in Thailand, which promise a slew of prostitutes, ladyboys and even virgins (who knew there were any left!) for a 7-night stay. Packages, ahem, based in Pattaya and Phuket, start from around AU$1800 for the week for a ‘girlfriend experience’ up to over AU$5000 for a more comprehensive service.
In yet another instance of Thailand going too far, this week has seen the publication of some questionable photos that violate the sanctity of the Kingdom’s favourite fruit.
Thai model Phitchayamon ‘Lookchin’ Longthong was photographed in an array of compromising positions, wearing a ‘Yes Daddy’ t-shirt that isn’t quite big enough to cover her ample assets, getting a tad too turned on by a durian. That’s right, she’s molesting a durian. I mean… it isn’t even ripe.
The photos, posted on the Sexy Angel Facebook page have had a mixed response, with many claiming that it’s ruined their appetite for the upcoming durian season.
25-year old Chaichana Sirichart was arrested this week in northern Bangkok after apparently holding his girlfriend hostage, then torturing and threatening to kill her on Facebook Live. Kuldara Yeesaman, his girlfriend of 4 months, was taken to hospital for urgent treatment following a stand-off between Chichana and police officers. The extent of her injuries is unknown, although viewers of the footage believed she’d had some fingers cut off, as well as a number of injuries to her head, face and body.
It’s been claimed that Chaichana believed Kuldara to be cheating on him, and that he had been taking drugs as he was stressed about his business. Other news outlets reported that he thought he was the ‘Joker’, the sadist antagonist of Batman.

You can select which you’ve visited, in order to get a run down of how many of the 76 you have still to go and your percentage score. A great resource for domestic travel!
Also on the travel theme is this blog post on Trip Savvy regarding where to go for a beach break near Bangkok — no flight required. Some great spots on this list, including Bang Saen and Koh Laan, as well as tourist favourites like Hua Hin and Koh Samet.
An interesting feature here on one of the most controversial aspects of tourism in Thailand: is the ‘misuse’ of the Buddha image disrespectful and damaging, or nothing to worry about?
We’ve all seen the huge (and, apparently, very expensive) billboards advising against buying Buddha images and tattoos as we leave Suvarnabhumi airport, but despite campaigns like this, many tourists and foreigners still choose to adorn their bodies and homes with various style Buddhist memorabilia. Lots of different views are explored on the matter although the sentiment at the end from the senior monk seems most appropriate: “Buddha is not on a statue or anything else outside, it’s in my mind. Anything that happens outside my head, does not affect what happens inside.”
This Reddit thread is directed at westerners who speak fluent Thai, asking them if they’ve noticed whether Thai people talk and joke about foreigners in their native language. The answer is a resounding ‘yes’, including discourse just pointing out that a foreigner is in the vicinity, right down to girls giggling about the assumed large size of one westerner’s manhood (his response: “Sorry, I already have wife”, cue: red faced women). The takeaway here is that, yes, Thai people talk about us amongst themselves — get over it!
A quintessential Thaivisa thread here regarding a man who has been chatting to a girl he met on a dating site for a few weeks, taken on one date, and who has now started asking for a few thousand baht in cash. The man graciously declined — to the lauding of Thaivisa members — and is yet to hear from her again. The matter is discussed and apparently filed away under ‘very common behaviours’ in the Thailand dating scene. Other members clearly have plenty of experience with women asking for money, with others reaching out so far to say that women exhibit these gold-digging tendencies all over the world, not just in Thailand.
We’re unconvinced: in regions where women have independence and their own source of income, it would be rare to see such a transparent act of asking for money — even on Sugar Daddy ‘seeking arrangement’ style sites, it’s acknowledged that there’s a transaction to be made.

The Moon Knight Easter Egg of Marvel’s Midnight Suns are a fairly easy-to-miss feature within the first hours of the game. Moon Knight is one of the most popular supernatural heroes of the world. Although he’s existed for a while, mainstream audiences received an appreciation for him earlier this year, following a successful MCU-tv show on Disney+. The show was big and the greatest one is many in the world. That shows was considered amongst the best Marvel shows of its time to date and also as one of the better additions to the MCU during phase 4. A second season hasn’t yet been thoroughly confirmed, but it looks very likely that some Moon Knight is going along.
Some players can try and taste him from a very cool moment in Marvel’s Midnight Sun. In the second battle with Venom in New York, players can see a display by a Khonshu exhibit that is at the mid-Manhattan Museum. There aren’t many other things to find outside of the wording that makes him “the “moon god of ancient Egypt”. Khonshu is a legit Egyptian mythology, but given that it is an entire game set in the Marvel universe and has only become a resumption that it’s the nod to Moon Knight. Khonshu chooses the likes of Marc Spector as his avatar. Rather he gives him all these powers and all the Persona of the Moon Knight. The Marvel hero himself isn’t at Midnight Suns, but because he’s a main character of the comics and he’s constantly battling supernatural forces, a sequel or DLC would be an admirable choice.
In the midnight Sun, among other players, the Ghost Rider and Blade, the game has playable heroes, but its playable roster stretches beyond Avengers and other characters. If you haven’t yet checked Marvel’s Midnight Suns, we’d recommend that. We gave the game 5 out of 5and called it one of 2022’s best RPGs, we review: “Marvel’s Midnight Suns may not have the most exciting story, but it makes up for it pretty much everybody else. The characters are charismatic and charming, the games are meaty and layered, and the player gains freedom and choice in and out of combat. This is a rich RPG that superhero lovers get a kick out of, turning-based fans feel remarkably satisfying, and genre naysayers can even find this true love. It is an unbelievable achievement worthy of the iconic comic publisher’s brand.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns is out for Xbox X|S, Xbox5 and PC. Would you like to see Moon Knight spotting in DLC?

A state judge in Austin has temporarily halted Gov. Greg Abbott’s executive order prohibiting judges from releasing inmates during the pandemic on personal bonds if they’ve been accused or convicted of a violent crime, saying that to keep the order in place would cause irreparable harm.
Judge Lora Livingston said her late Friday night order restrains the governor and his lawyers from enforcing any such restraints on judges’ bond rulings.

Blue was established in April 2019 to develop and sell electric systems and driving modules.
The eAxle module integrates a motor, inverter, and transaxle. There are three versions: 150kW for FWD vehicles and 80kW (front and rear) for 4WD.
Increasing output density has delivered claimed “excellent” dynamic performance and high torque.
Optimising cooling, adapting heat management technology and improving the double-sided cooling technology for inverter layers helped to increase output density. Electric mileage was also boosted by the optimal magnetic design of the motor, the joining technology to shorten coil ends, low-viscosity oil and loss reduction technologies such as the new RC-IGBT.
The eAxle is smaller and includes a built in structure that incorporates an inverter into the transaxle, a downsized motor, and the shortened distance between the shafts by adopting an output shaft.
The front axle version has reduced length while the model for the rear is lower, helping expand passenger and luggage compartments.

NEW DELHI: Two police officers – a husband and wife – have been suspended in India for falsely claiming they scaled Mount Everest in Nepal in May.
Nepal’s government has cancelled the climbing certificates issued to Dinesh Rathod and Tarkeshwari Rathod after it found they had presented a fake photograph of themselves on Everest’s summit.
Fellow climbers said the couple never reached the summit and altered someone else’s photographs to earn their climbing certificates.
A police inquiry in Pune in India’s Maharashtra state found their claim was false, the Press Trust of India news agency quoted Deputy Police Commissioner Arvind Chavriya as saying Thursday. He said they will remain suspended until the inquiry determines whether they should be fired.
The couple has stayed away from work since the controversy erupted in May.
A total of 456 people scaled Everest during this year’s climbing season, which followed two years of disasters on the mountain.
Last year’s season was scrapped after 19 climbers were killed and 61 injured by an avalanche at the base camp triggered by a massive earthquake. In 2014, an avalanche at the Khumbu Icefall killed 16 Sherpa guides.

(Wilmington, Del. – Jan. 14, 2021)
Delaware Clinical & Laboratory Physicians, PA, a pre-eminent provider of hematology and pathology medicine services in our community for over 50 years, has become part of ChristianaCare, effective Jan. 11, 2021.
Through the transition, Delaware Clinical & Laboratory Physicians, PA, has divided into two separate practices. The five hematologists, nurses and staff at the practice joined the health system with the new name ChristianaCare Hematology. The eight pathologists joined with the name ChristianaCare Pathology.
“ChristianaCare and Delaware Clinical & Laboratory Physicians have long shared a deep commitment to serving our patients,” said Ken Silverstein, M.D., MBA, chief physician executive of ChristianaCare. “This integration will advance our ability to make a positive impact on the health of our patients through the hematology and pathology services we provide. We’re incredibly excited to welcome the caregivers of Delaware Clinical & Laboratory Physicians to ChristianaCare as we join together in service to our community.”
ChristianaCare Hematology, located in ChristianaCare’s Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute, will continue to provide the same high-quality care and service to its patients. Its closer alignment with ChristianaCare and The Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute, a National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Research Program and one of the most advanced cancer centers in the nation, will ensure patients receive seamless and coordinated care. This care includes cancer support services such as nurse navigation, psychological and social services, genetic counseling and nutritional services.
“Our practice is thrilled to join ChristianaCare, which will advance our care coordination and ensure our physicians and team continue to deliver the highest quality hematology services to our patients,” said Scott Hall, M.D., lead physician in the practice. “Through a collaborative care-plan approach, our hematologists partner with the patient, their caregiver and referring physicians to ensure constant communication through the patient’s continuum of care. These relationships will be strengthened with our integration with ChristianaCare.”
Hematologists in the practice have expertise in both cancerous and non-cancerous hematologic disorders, including sickle-cell disease and hemophilia. They specialize in patients diagnosed with blood disorders, thrombosis and blood cancers and provide medical oversight of the Bone Marrow Transplant program at ChristianaCare. Patients receive infusion services in the practice office.
The practice location of ChristianaCare Hematology in the Graham Cancer Center continues to provide safe care during the COVID-19 pandemic. The site offers a clean, welcoming environment where patients can build a trusting relationship with their physician.
For many years, board-certified pathologists in Delaware Clinical & Laboratory Physicians have directed the pathology services at ChristianaCare, where they use the latest technology in laboratory medicine.

Mabinogion and the Atlantis myth)
4.Merlin's Booke- An anthology by Jane Yolen
5. The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror (the Fourth Annual Collection)
This is the best of all the series. I can't say enough for this series. So
much heart and soul goes into this anthology. In a field choked with many
Tolkien-esque rip-offs, this proves that there are shining examples in the
fantasy genre. Many kudos to Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling. And while I am
on my soapbox, I would like to say that Jane Yolen is the most eloquent
fantasy author of our time. Tolkien was a genius, but Yolen is, at least in
my mind, heir apparent. Pick up one of her stories, and see what I mean. Her
stlye is not as grand as Tolkien's, but she is no less effective.
6. The Wizard of Earthsea - Ursula LeGuin
These are just some of my favourite books.
Why didn't Ralph Bashki ever finish the animated film of The Lord of
the Rings? Although key scenes were written out, and lines spoken by wrong
characters, I still think it was a worthy project. I am alone in this matter?
- We have a goodly number of reviews on the Folk Tales website
<<http://www.folk-tales.com> of books by Charles de Lint, and a number
of reviews for collections done by Terri Windling. There's even a
review of her first novel The Wood Wife.
focus on books, music, and other good things of a folk nature. Our
focus is primarily folk music from Celtic trad such as Alasdair Fraser
to more folk rockier groups like Moving Hearts and Taxi Chain, fiction
of a related nature such as the wonderful novels of Charles de Lint,
and non-fiction books (mostly folklore and music related) related to
these subjects as our readers are interested in all of these subjects.
Of course, we will cover other subjects: concert reviews, upcoming
major festivals, author profiles, even in depth profiles of performers

Obama says new type of retirement account on way
- Carla Caldwell, Morning Edition Editor
Atlantans thinking about saving money for retirement might want to take note of a speech President Barack Obama will make Wednesday in Pennsylvania.
The president said Tuesday during his State of the Union address that he is directing the Treasury Department to create a new type of retirement savings account for millions of Americans that would include a government guarantee, reports The Wall Street Journal.
These investments, which Obama called "myRAs," would, he said, serve as a type of starter retirement savings account for millions of Americans.
The White House said workers would be allowed to invest if they make less than $191,000 a year. There would not be a tax penalty if the investments are withdrawn, and initial investments could be as low as $25. The WSJ adds that subsequent investments could be as low as $5, automatically deducted from someone's paycheck.
The WSJ reported a number of business groups expressed interest in the idea Tuesday evening, but said they would wait for more details before they weighed in.
Obama is scheduled on Wednesday to visit U.S. Steel's Irvin Plant in West Mifflin, Pa., to talk about the economy, The Pittsburg Tribune-Review reports.

Pending road projects likely to start this fiscal
NEW DELHI: Chief Minister Conrad Sangma on Monday met Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari here and discussed about various ongoing highway projects in the state.
“We discussed about the ongoing projects in our state, including the different CRF projects, the different national highway projects and also discussed on how to speed up the implementation of other national highway projects which are yet to start,” a statement from the chief minister said.
The outcome of the meeting was positive, Conrad said. “We are getting a very positive response from the Union Minister and that within this financial year, we will see that some of the projects that have been pending for some time now, will start,” he added.
There are 61 sanctioned projects under CRF amounting to Rs 371.2216 crore, an inter-state connectivity project at the cost of Rs 60.4228 crore, two four-lane and two two-lane projects under Bharatmala Pariyojana, the two new national highways approved “in principle,” two NHIDCL projects and three state PWD projects, in Meghalaya.
There are four projects under JICA funding in the state having a total length of 414.330 kms. All the four projects are being implemented by NHIDCL. The chief minister further stated that it also depends on the state government giving clearances like forest and others while expressing hope that the other pending projects will start this year.
He also mentioned that construction of the bridge over Brahmaputra connecting Dhubri and Phulbari is also expected to take off very soon. “We also discussed new projects to be done especially by CRF and interstate connectivity and to declare some highways as national highways. The union minister was of the view that it will be better if we ensure that the pending projects are completed before taking up new projects,” the chief minister said.
He said that a lot of attention is being given to Meghalaya and North East in general. Meanwhile, the state government has submitted new proposals to the Transport ministry which include construction of new roads under ISC, road length to be transferred to NHIDCL, NH/SARDP-NE projects proposed for transfer to state PWD besides others.

"Energy-related tax incentives are about as old as the use of electricity to light homes," said the Oklahoman, adding, "Decades-old credits for fossil fuels were joined in 1992 by the PTC, which has stimulated investment in wind power — from the manufacturing of equipment to the construction and maintenance of the turbines that are now a common sight in western Oklahoma …
"Oklahoma is blessed with an abundance of natural resources that can be used to run vehicles, heat homes and make electricity. For most of the years since statehood, wind power was confined to the devices on farms that pulled up water for stock tanks. Not anymore. The share of power made from wind farm in Oklahoma was 5.1 percent in 2010. That figure has been growing by the year as new turbines are added and transmission facilities are improved."
The editorial also noted the growth of wind turbines manufacturing in the state, concluding, "As an emerging and vital industry … wind power needs the investment boost that would result from extending the tax credit."
A House bill seeking to extend the PTC has 70 cosponsors, including 18 Republicans. This legislation has received the endorsement of a broad coalition of more than 370 members, including the National Association of Manufacturers, the American Farm Bureau Federation, the Edison Electric Institute, and the Western Governors’ Association. A PTC extension also has the support of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the bipartisan Governors’ Wind Energy Coalition, which includes 23 Republican and Democratic Governors from across the U.S.

- Bitcoin price stalls at the strategically important 200-day simple moving average (SMA).
- Ethereum price surge from $2,000 stalls at the tactically important 50-day SMA.
- XRP price recaptures 2021 rising trend line and overcomes important price range.
Bitcoin price confronts a range of formidable resistance that may prevent it from gaining any price traction in the days ahead, creating a headwind for the broader cryptocurrency complex. Ethereum price has molded a potential double bottom pattern on the charts, providing investors a tactical opportunity to initiate a new position. XRP price bounces from a key range and, although associated with legal uncertainty, has improved the outlook for Ripple to secure a robust bottom above relevant resistance levels.
Stablecoin supply surpasses $100 billion
The total supply of dollar-pegged stablecoins has exceeded the $100 billion level. The two most significant stablecoins guide most of the growth: Tether’s USDT and the Centre consortium’s USD Coin (USDC).
Tether (USDT) is responsible for over 60% of the market share at the current value, while USDC has over a 20% share. USDC’s market share has been increasing faster in the last few weeks, thanks to major partnerships with companies like Visa.
The notable jump in stablecoins from $30 billion at the beginning of 2021 to the current value of $100 billion indicates that market operators are increasingly utilizing funds in the areas of derivatives and decentralized finance (DeFi).
Stablecoin Supply Per Day Per Type - Dune Analytics
The leading stablecoin, Tether (USDT), was launched in 2014. The dollar-pegged stablecoin was originally built on the Bitcoin blockchain and represented a dollar held in the bank. It has come under intense scrutiny for allegations of unbacked tokens, fraud and outright conspiracy.
There is usually an uptick in stablecoin activity during extreme episodes in the cryptocurrency market, as was the case the past week, leading to the spike in Tether’s $62 billion breakthrough. Often these events enhance the ecosystem’s strength.
A second factor related to major changes in Tether’s market capitalization and other stablecoins is that it often precedes significant ramp-ups in price. For example, before the rally beginning on April 26, there had been an increase in the total supply of Tether by 43%, to almost $7 billion in circulation. It was the largest spike in Tether supply over a 6-week period since inception. Bitcoin price went on to rally nearly 30% into the May 10 high.
Conversely, in November 2018, Bitcoin price fell by almost 50%, six weeks after Tether saw its supply drop by 44%. In May 2019, following a 30% increase in Tether supply, Bitcoin rallied price from around $5,500 to over $13,000.
Based on historical precedent, the jump in the supply of stablecoins hints at a new rally for Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency complex in general. Time will only tell if it is just a bounce in a larger correction or confirms the end of the correction.
Bitcoin price bounce may need a catalyst to transition it to a sustainable rally
Bitcoin price is trading just below the 200-day SMA, and the rebound from the May 19 low has been reluctant, featuring lower volume on up days. The strategically important moving average is only the first credible resistance for BTC to overcome.
The intersection of multiple levels frames a massive obstacle for Bitcoin price that will challenge BTC for days and possibly weeks to come. The resistance includes the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the historic rally from the March 2020 low to the April high at $41,581, the January 8 high at $41,986, the February 28 low at $43,016 and 38.2% retracement level of the April-May decline at $43,331.
The magnitude of the resistance suggests that Bitcoin price may need a pivotal catalyst that will create the thrust to transition the rally from a bounce into a full-fledged rally.
BTC/USD daily chart
BTC still faces the prospect of more selling, particularly considering the compressed price action since the May 19 crash. Downside should be limited to the May 23 low at $31,111, but the magnet effect of $30,000 may pull it lower.
Ethereum price likely printed a correction low
Ethereum price followed last week’s 41.44% decline with a 30.44% gain from price at the time of writing, highlighted by three days of +10% gains. The feverish bounce has uncovered resistance at the 50-day SMA at $2,823 today, causing an intra-day reversal of earlier gains.
The rebound, initiated by a bullish hammer candlestick pattern on the 12-hour chart, has been accompanied by solid volume after reaching an oversold condition on the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI). Moreover, the May 23 undercut of the May 19 low has put the charts in place for a double bottom pattern with a trigger price of $3,000.
A breakout above the double bottom trigger will quickly discover resistance at the 50 twelve-hour SMA at $3,285 and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the May decline at $3,369. If the rally continues, it will experience minor resistance at the 78.6% retracement before launching an assault on the all-time high at $4,384.
ETH/USD 12-hour chart
Renewed selling in the crypto market could push Ethereum price down to the 200 twelve-hour SMA at $2,292. ETH should not undercut the February high at $2,042 again during the bottoming process.
XRP price intentions remain unclear after bounce
XRP price closed on May 23 with a bullish hammer candlestick pattern that was effectively triggered on May 24 when Ripple traded above $0.816. The candlestick formed in the ‘legal uncertainty price range’ associated with the November 2020 high and the December 2020 low, during which the SEC case was announced.
Over the four trading days, XRP price has wrestled with the 200 twelve-hour SMA and the rising trend line from the December 2020 low around $0.930. The price action has been passive with waning volume and no demonstrable upside progress, suggesting a mild pullback may be necessary to effectively reset Ripple for a meaningful charge above the strategically crucial moving average.
If XRP price does dislodge from the magnet effect of the 200 twelve-hour SMA, it may rally to the 38.2% retracement level of the April-May decline at $1.15, but the psychologically important $1.00 may still be a factor.
XRP/USD 12-hour chart
A reversal of fortune for XRP price could press Ripple down to the upper level of the ‘legal uncertainty price range’ at $0.780, but any further weakness should be managed before a new test of the 200-day SMA at $0.669.

Hello everyone! Welcome to Day 10 of Waffle Flower Crafts Twelve Days of Gift Giving event!
We have the crafty Karolyn Loncon @ Paper Therapy
joining us today! We love that Karolyn's gift wrap is generic. You can use one for a hostess' gift at all occasions! Karolyn is such a loving, caring person that it just shows through her projects!
Make a Wine Tag with Karolyn Loncon
Hello!! I’m Karolyn Loncon
, and am so happy to be a part of Waffle Flower’s 12 Days of Gift Giving extravaganza!! I decided to focus on a project that would show gratitude and appreciation to the host or hostess of your Thanksgiving celebration!!
I think it’s so important to say “thank you” to anyone that opens their home and slaves over a hot stove to provide a lovely meal, don’t you? This is super easy to create!
Here are the Waffle Flower products that I used:
Flower Circles Die Set
Holiday Label 1 Die
Holiday Labels – Give Thanks Stamp Set
Holiday Labels – Merry Stamp Set
I gathered some fall themed patterned paper and some white cardstock, adhered each patterned paper to a cardstock panel to give it some substance, and then die cut each panel using the largest die from the Flower Circles Die Set
I used the woodgrain piece for the outside of the flower, and the leaf piece for the inside. The above photo shows the back of the two pieces, and how I adhered them together. I just tore off small pieces of washi tape and taped them around the circle to join the two pieces.
Using images from both the Holiday Labels – Give Thanks Stamp Set
and the Holiday Labels – Merry Stamp Set
, I stamped a label for the wine bottle tag onto some yellow cardstock, and then die cut the label using the Holiday Label 1 Die
. I found that it was easier to stamp first, and then die cut in order to find the true center of the stamping with the die cut. I used a bit of Post It tape to hold the die in place while cutting.
I adhered the label to the front of the flower/tag using some foam tape. I cut a piece of yellow polka dot ribbon that I had in my stash, and adhered it to the back of the flower/tag using some tape. I tied a bow for the top (I adhered that with a glue dot). Easy peasy!
I think this project shows that you care enough for your hostess that you took the time to hand make something for them, and that you appreciate their hard work and hospitality!
Isn't it adorable? What a thoughtful gift wrap! Thank you for sharing your talent with us, Karolyn!

Braces aren’t just for kids. Now more than ever, adults are enjoying the outcomes of orthodontic care no matter their age.
Straight teeth, teeth with a correct bite, and teeth that are aligned properly are healthier. When teeth are crooked and misaligned, there are plenty of places for plaque and food particles to hide. The more plaque and food build up, the greater chance of decay, inflamed gums, and gum disease. Additionally, an improper bite because of misaligned or crooked teeth often makes chewing food more difficult, which can lead to gastrointestinal problems.
With today’s advanced materials and techniques, wearing braces is much more efficient, convenient, and comfortable than ever!
Braces for KIDS & ADULTS improve…
Teeth function, allowing you to bite and chew correctly
The ability to restore missing teeth
Confidence and self-esteem
Braces for KIDS & ADULTS prevent…
Tooth decay by correcting areas where plaque can easily build up
Periodontal (gum) problems
Bone loss around teeth
Straining of teeth, jaws, and muscles that could lead to a greater risk of tooth breakage
Abnormal wearing of tooth surface
Difficulties in chewing

Phosphorus is the second nutrient element and an essential constituent of every living cell. It is involved in all types of metabolic activities and is an essential constituent of majority of enzymes. It is also a structural component of membrane system of cell, chloroplasts and mitochondria.
Phosphorus stimulates root development and growth in seedling stage.
It stimulates flowering, fruit setting and seed formation and the development of roots.
It hastens leaf development and encourages greater growth of shoots and roots.
It enhances the development of reproductive parts and thus bringing about early maturity of crops particularly in cereals and counteracts the effect of excess Nitrogen.
It develops resistance to certain diseases.
It increases the number of tillers in cereal crops and also improves the ratio of grain to straw.
It strengthens the straw of cereal crops preventing lodging.
Root and shoot growth is restricted and plants become thin, erect and spindly.
The foliage is sparse and restricted, the development of lateral buds is suppressed.
Under severe deficiency, the apical parts of the leaves turn brown and then margin of the leaves may roll.
The leaves of cereal crops become dull grayish green in colour.
The deficiency is characterized by slow growth and low yields.
Leaves may shed prematurely and flowering and fruiting may be delayed considerably.
Growth is stunted even under abundant supply of Nitrogen and Potassium.
Premature ripening of crop is seen.
In cereal crops, the foliage turns bluish green and then strong reddish purple tints develop on the nodes, internodes, leaves and even heads.
The heads are poorly formed
Tillering decreases and results in low yields.
Apply Phosphorus containing fertilizers like SSP or DAP, before planting as per recommendation.
Two to three soil applications @ 25 - 30 kg/ acre depending on the crop and stage helps in managing the deficiency,
Spray MAP (12:61:00) @ 10 gm/ltr two to three times at intervals of 15 days to reduce crop loss.
