Learn the important components of your Bolt Action Model 770 firearm.
Congratulations on your choice of a Remington®. With proper care, it should give you many years of dependable use and enjoyment. For best results, we recommend that you use Remington Ammunition - the ammunition used in factory testing your firearm against our rigorous function and performance standards.
All Remington® centerfire bolt actuated rifles operate the same. The firearm is capable of firing multiple shots after each pull of the trigger and cycle of the bolt. At the start of the firing cycle after the trigger has been pulled, a cartridge has be discharged, and the safety engaged; the action is unlocked and the firing pin is cocked by rotating the bolt handle upward. As the bolt moves rearward, the spent cartridge case is pulled from the chamber. When the spent cartridge clears the chamber the cartridge is expelled from the firearm through the ejection port. As the bolt moves forward a new cartridge is stripped from the magazine and is placed into the chamber. The cycle is completed by rotating the bolt fully downward, locking the bolt and cartridge into the firing position.
The serial number is located on the shooter’s left side of the receiver. See Picture 2.
Specifications for the correct caliber and cartridge intended for use in your firearm is located on the shooter’s left side of the barrel. See Picture 3
WARNING! Only use the specified cartridge type and caliber of ammunition specified for your firearm as designated on the barrel. See To Load Your Firearm.
The manual safety mechanism of your bolt action firearm provides protection against accidental or unintentional discharge under normal usage when properly engaged and in good working order.
This safety mechanism is not a substitute for following the rules of safe firearm handling. The safety mechanism lifts the sear and blocks the trigger, preventing the trigger from being pulled when fully engaged in the “S” or "SAFE" position.
The safety mechanism is located on the shooters right towards the rear of the receiver. To engage the safety mechanism, pull the safety lever fully to the rear toward the “S” position until the safety arm stops. See Picture 4.
Always engage the safety mechanism by moving the safety lever fully rearward before handling, loading or unloading the firearm.
When you are ready to FIRE the firearm, disengage the Safety Mechanism by pushing the safety arm forward to the “FIRE” position, marked with a “F”. You have now disengaged the Safety Mechanism and the firearm is ready to FIRE. See Picture 5.
Do not touch the trigger while moving the safety mechanism. Your fingers and all other objects should be kept outside of the trigger guard and away from the trigger until you are actually ready to FIRE. Never attempt to pull the trigger when the Safety Mechanism is activated in the "S” or “SAFE” position.
WARNING! The firearm will fire when the trigger is pulled and the safety mechanism is OFF or in the "F” or “FIRE" position.
Even when the safety is engaged in the "S” or “SAFE" position, careless handling can cause the firearm to discharge. See the Ten Commandments of Firearm Safety.
WARNING! Do not alter, modify, bypass, or render the safety features inoperative.
This firearm was originally sold with a key-operated locking device or an integrated security system (ISS) to assist the owner in protecting against unauthorized use. These are storage locking devices. The firearm should be completely unloaded when stored or not in use.
These locking devices DO NOT eliminate the need for safe firearm handling and storage, including keeping this and every firearm unloaded and locked in a secure place when not in use. Read and follow these and other safety rules in this instruction manual. Failure to read, understand, and obey these rules can result in serious personal injury or death. See the Ten Commandments of Firearm Safety.
Keep your locking device engaged when your firearm is not in use. Keep the keys in a secure place, inaccessible to others. DO NOT leave your keys or any ammunition with your firearm, which should be kept unloaded and locked in a safe place.
To secure your firearm with an external locking device, See instructions provided in packaging.
Some 710™ Models are equipped with an integrated security system (ISS). When activated the bolt can not be closed in the firing position.
The ISS is located on the left side of the bolt assembly in the bolt plug. See Picture 6.
The “J” shaped slot is the key hole for engaging and disengaging the security system. The red and white indicator dots indicates whether the security system is disengaged (Red) or engaged (White). View the indicator dots from the top of the bolt assembly.
While operating the integrated security system, NEVER use excessive force to turn the key. If the key will not turn freely, contact a Remington® Authorized Repair Center.
If you lose the key, DO NOT attempt to disengage the security system using a foreign object. This will damage your firearm. Contact your Remington Authorized Repair Center for a
replacement key. See Getting Parts and Service instructions to locate the nearest Authorized Repair Center.
WARNING! When the bolt assembly is in the closed position and the safety mechanism is in the “FIRE” or “F” position, the firearm can be discharged by pulling the trigger.
Pulling the trigger DISCHARGES the firearm.
The trigger assembly of your firearm has been set at the Remington factory. The trigger assembly is not adjustable. All repairs to the trigger assembly must be made by the factory or a Remington Authorized Repair Center.
WARNING! Never place your finger on the trigger unless you are ready to discharge or fire the firearm.
WARNING! Never manipulate, adjust or change any of the internal components of your firearm unless specifically directed to do so in this instruction manual. Improper manipulation of any
internal component may effect the safety and reliability of your firearm and may cause serious injury or death.
WARNING! The inside of the barrel must be clean and free of any obstructions. See the Ten Commandments of Firearm Safety.
WARNING! NEVER try to remove an object from the barrel by loading another cartridge and firing. This may cause serious personal injury or death.
Note: To clean the barrel follow instructions shown on To Clean the Barrel.
WARNING! Before loading the firearm, make sure the inside of the barrel is free of dirt, oil, or other obstructions.

Understanding the mind can be an incredibly difficult thing. Imagine for a second that you have grabbed ahold of your glass and you can’t make yourself put it down. Next thing you know, you begin tilting the glass over your head and pouring milk in your hair as if something or someone else is controlling you. This neurological disorder is called Alien Hand Syndrome. Although it is similar to Anarchic Hand, but they are certainly not one in the same.Credit: By Directed by Stanley Kubrick, distributed by Columbia Pictures [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons
Anarchic Hand disorder is when a person’s body part involuntarily moves or doesn’t move as intended. The condition leaves the individual feeling very frustrated that they are unable to control their own movements. After a great deal of concentration, the person might be able to grasp something or move in the way they desire. Even if some movements are made by the person, most of the motions the affected body part makes are spontaneous.
Alien Hand Syndrome:
There is a core difference between Anarchic Hand and Alien Hand Syndrome. The individual suffering from this condition no longer recognizes their hand as their own. There is an emotional disgust with their appendage as the person sees it as an imposter on their own body. They will recognize the arm as part of their being, but the hand itself is seen to have a mind of its own. The person who is dealing with this syndrome will not even be aware of their movements until it is pointed out to them or their "possesed" appendage does something to gain their attention.
There are certain types of brain surgery in which this condition can be caused. In all instances, it is a result of some form of neurological disturbance. Whether through brain surgery, infections, injury stroke, cancer, or aneurysms, a person is susceptible to this syndrome.
Alien Hand Syndrome can not be cured per say, but there are treatments that can help eliminate unwanted hand movements or restore some control. Giving the alien appendage something to preoccupy it, such as holding an object can reduce spontaneous motions. Other treatment include teaching the person to focus and training their hand to perform certain grabbing motions.
Many people have some part of their body that they do not like because of appearance. Having a rogue body part that you don’t claim as your own would be unimaginable.

For those concerned about taste, hemp CBD oil tinctures are a pleasant and convenient way to get your cannabidiol oil nutritional supplement. Tinctures feature sweetened and flavored CBD liquid designed to give you all the natural benefits of cannabidiol while tasting great!

It is well known that people who consume cannabis in other forms notice increased appetite, famously called “the munchies”. However, cannabis essential oil can help regulate your appetite and induce hunger, while also stimulating your digestive system to operate at a regular level. This can help people who want to gain weight quickly, particularly after an extended illness or injury.
In the cannabis plant, CBD and THC generally have an inverse relationship: The more THC there is, the less CBD, and vice versa. In recent years, growers have bred some plants to contain high levels of CBD. Some say the two compounds work synergistically and that for many ailments, combining CBD and THC is best.
Simply put, hemp CBD isolate is cannabidiol in its purest form possible. Seen here in its crystalline form, pure CBD isolate crystals are a fine white powder that only contains the CBD chemical compound. CBD isolate powder and CBD isolate crystals are the purest, most powerful punch of CBD you can get your hands on.
-To ensure that your CBD oil is free of these potentially harmful toxins, it’s important that you search for a CBD product from a reputable and trustworthy source. Before you buy, read the fine print to make sure to select one with the best ingredients, including zero GMOs, trans fats, corn syrup, colorings, and other additives.
“The bill I signed into law today will help children who suffer from severe seizure disorders. Throughout the legislative process I insisted on the tightest controls and regulations for this measure, and I have been assured by the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics that CBD oil is not an intoxicant. The outcome is a bill that allows this substance to be used therapeutically as is the case for other controlled prescription medications. I remain opposed to any effort that would attempt to legalize marijuana or its derivatives outside of the confines of this bill.”
The CBs hold much promise in not only improving stroke but also traumatic and anoxic brain injury outcome. There is a rise in evidence that the endocannabinoids and botanical nonpsychoactive cannabidiol derivatives from the cannabis plant have a multitude of beneficial effects, particularly with ischemic stroke. Animal models of stroke have shown cannabidiol increases cerebral blood flow (CBF) mediated by 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 1A (5HT1A) receptors and induces vasorelaxation .
Live in iowa and broke my back 3 yrs ago tired of the pain pills and found hemp oil now I read about that cbd oil is way different than hemp oil. Help??? What do I need for pain does the hemp oil work or do I need the other where can I get what I need without going to the local headshop
CBD interacts with the body through the endogenous cannabinoid system (ECS) or endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system regulates the body’s normal homeostasis, or general state of balance. This can maintain a healthy mood, sleep habit, appetite, and pain response.

– When looking for a good CBD oil, check the label carefully. Products from American Hemp Oil will include a label that tells you exactly the source of CBD, as well as details on the quantity and ratio of both CBD and THC – important information both medically and legally!
After clearing U.S. Customs inspection, we test the hemp oil again when it reaches our facilities. After a 10,000+ mile transcontinental trip, we follow proper safety protocol to double check for degradation, damage, or contamination in our oil.
Research shows that CBD benefits include acting as an anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, antioxidant, antiemetic, anxiolytic and antipsychotic agent, and is therefore a potential medicine for the treatment of neuroinflammation, epilepsy, oxidative injury, vomiting and nausea, anxiety and schizophrenia.
Hey Pawel, Our products contain CBD but it is important to understand that they are not medicine. They don’t treat or cure any disease, physical ailment or condition. That being said I cannot recommend one way or the other what would be best in this scenario. Good luck on your CBD journey, we wish you all the best!

Choosing The Potency When choosing potency (300 mg/600 mg/1000 mg), it’s best to start low and gradually increase dosage until you get the desired result.

One of the most experienced practitioners in this field is Los Angeles physician Bonni Goldstein, who has used the compound to treat dozens of children with intractable epilepsy. She says about half of these patients have seen a significant drop in the number of seizures. “Used in the right way, with the right patient, CBD is extremely powerful,” she says.
CBD vaporizer oils can be used in a vaporizer of your choice. They offer a healthy way of inhaling your daily dose of the CBD supplement. Vaping is a very direct way of ingesting CBD oil. When you vape, the CBD enters the lungs and goes directly into the bloodstream, completely bypassing the digestive system. This method allows for greater bioavailability.
As the use of CBD oil is very new, there are still significant gaps in what we know about its effects. While we can confidently say the substance is safe and legal, its exact benefits are still an issue of hot debates and fervent research.

Although the research on the medicinal use of cannabis is strong, several studies indicate that the recreational use of cannabis can have persistent adverse effects on mental health. According to a 2013 report published in Frontiers in Psychiatry, depending on how often someone uses, the age of onset, the potency of the cannabis that is used and someone’s individual sensitivity, the recreational use of cannabis may cause permanent psychological disorders. Most recreational users will never be faced with such persistent mental illness, but in some individuals cannabis use leads to undesirable effects, including cognitive impairment, anxiety, paranoia and increased risks of developing chronic psychosis or drug addiction.

Anti-tumor effects: In test-tube and animal studies, CBD has demonstrated anti-tumor effects. In animals, it has been shown to prevent the spread of breast, prostate, brain, colon and lung cancer (38).

So, as discussed, the main difference when thinking of hemp CBD vs cannabis CBD are the differences in levels of CBD and THC the oil contains. Hemp has high levels of CBD and negligible levels of THC and vice versa for cannabis.
The Food and Drug Administration on 6/25/2018 approved the first drug derived from marijuana, which will be used to treat two rare and severe forms of childhood epilepsy. FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said the approval was “a reminder that advancing sound development programs that properly evaluate active ingredients contained in marijuana can lead to important medical therapies.” He noted that the action was “not an approval of marijuana or all of its components” but rather of one specific CBD medication for a particular use. In April, an advisory committee unanimously recommended approval of the drug for the two types of epilepsy.
“Please be open with [your] physicians regarding what [you] are taking,” says Carson, who also worries about patients who turn to CBD products instead of well-proven treatments for conditions like depression.

Furthermore, THC and CBD oils also differ in the nature and effect of their Cannabinoid content. Cannabinoids typically bind to receptor sites located in the brain, called CB-1, and various parts of the human body called CB-2. But different cannabinoids produce different effects depending on which type of receptor they bind to. THC mostly binds to receptors in the brain, but CBD unlocks the receptors scattered throughout the body, making it far more useful for healing properties.
On July 1, 2015, HB 32became law after Gov. Matt Mead neither signed the bill nor vetoed it, allowing the use of hemp extract that contains at least 15% CBD and no more than 0.3% THC for the treatment of intractable epilepsy.
RSHO™ CBD hemp oil is available in four varieties of high-quality, pure cannabidiol oil, including Green Label, Blue Label, Gold Label, and Special Blend. RSHO™ contains between 50mg and 190mg of cannabidiol per 0.5 gram serving. Each of the pure CBD hemp oil varieties come in 3 gram and 10 gram applicators. For regular users, 3 packs and 6 packs of applicators are available.
17 states have approved the use of low THC, high CBD products for medical reasons in limited situations. Each state has specific requirements and conditions that need to be followed in order to use CBD legally, such as patient registry requirements and definitions of products that are allowed.

The airport says its new approach will allow it to offer passengers a distinctive Dutch experience
Amsterdam Schiphol has unveiled a new positioning strategy for its retail and catering outlets, which includes more of a focus on the online and offline shopping experience as well as reinforcing a Dutch look and feel through the use of the colour orange.
Alongside the new colour scheme, according to the airport, traditional and surprising Dutch products and brands will be on show, with experiences such as the Rijksmuseum and NEMO being more actively advertised.
The new branding can be seen in the terminal as well as online channels such as the airport’s dedicated shopping website, that has been redesigned in the new style. Passengers can also browse through and reserve products from their home through a new click and collect service, launched in June.
The airport’s senior marketing and customer experience manager, said: “We want to position shopping at Schiphol in a way that reflects the current trends, in which experience, internationalisation and online are playing an increasingly important role. We are extremely proud to have designed a shopping experience with a look that Dutch citizens will recognise and that offers unique encounters with Dutch icons that international passengers will enjoy.”


The coronavirus crisis has forced Poland to delay the launch of B2B electronic invoicing. The government has set a new date for the start of this electronic system: 2023, one year later than originally planned.
Throughout the first months of 2021, the Polish government will prepare and publish a bill for the regulation of electronic invoicing. In the meantime, as far as we know the adoption of electronic invoicing will have several phases in Poland.
Following the example of many countries in the European Union, the B2G electronic invoice will be the first to be implemented. This means that public administrations will have to prepare to receive and process e-invoices. In the second phase, voluntary B2B electronic invoicing will be implemented, with certain tax benefits to encourage its use. The third and final phase will be the deployment of mandatory B2B e-invoicing for all businesses in the country.
Poland wishes to follow the successful Italian electronic invoice model, i.e. a clearance model. This features the requirement of authorization by the tax authority in real time for the invoices to be valid.
The Polish government thus hopes to fight tax evasion and monitor the country’s business activity in real time.
The SAF-T report
The mandatory B2B electronic invoice will eventually replace the SAF-T Standard Audit File for Tax. However, until the e-invoice materializes, businesses will have to continue submitting the report.
Since 216, Polish businesses must submit the SAF-T report with a summary of the invoices sent and received. In this regard, 1st July, 2020 saw a modification concerning the content of that report coming into force: the compulsory addition of VAT registration and VAT credit details. However, only the country’s major businesses have had to adapt to this change. On 1st July, 2021, SMEs will have to follow suit, with micro-businesses finally adopting it on 1st January, 2022.
Consult regulations regarding electronic invoicing in Europe in “The Panorama of Electronic Invoicing.”

Historic renovations can be a tough project when buildings of significance are involved. The old Oriental Warehouse in San Francisco‘s South Beach District is a prime example of how to renovate right. Reconfigured in 2010, the old building was transformed into a luxe urban space by Edmonds + Lee Architects.
Leaving plenty of exposed brick, concrete and timber was the key to this overhaul. While the shell and its structural contents are all old and rustic feeling, the rest of this interior is sleek and contemporary. Of course, a large grouping of Tom Dixons reflect a huge part of the focal point in the lower level, while sheet glazing makes up a huge portion of the upstairs.

The southern part of Iceland is a part of the country I really haven’t explored enough. I’m only familiar with the big touristy things around the area and was therefore curious to find out where I would end up when being told that my photographer and I were supposed to go hot spring hunting in some secret valley located right above the town Hveragerði. We met up with our guides at 9 am inside the Arctic Rafting shop at Laugavegur 11 and drank our morning coffee before jumping into a jeep and driving off. The driver headed south to the valley named, appropriately enough, Reykjadalur (Valley of Steam), which I had never heard of before – strange considering that this place is only a short trip away from the city but a great getaway from everyday life.
Reykjavík to Hveragerði is only about a half-hour drive. After passing through the small heart of Hveragerði, we made a turn at an intersection up an unmaintained, unpaved road, with all the proper hollows and bumps, characteristic of many Icelandic roads. Suddenly it came to an end and we parked at the small parking lot, located next to the river Varmá. Seeing that our jeep was the only car there I realised this area isn’t a crowded tourist spot – presumably because people don’t know it exists, our guide explained. In my opinion, this made the journey even more thrilling.
As we got out of the car the wind started blowing and the cold breeze gave me the chills. I really was unprepared for a hiking trip, wearing my Converse sneakers and a thin jacket. I felt like a silly city girl with no outdoor experience whatsoever. I would strongly recommend better equipment, but with no time to whine I borrowed a woollen cap and a pair of gloves and we set out for the Reykjadalur valley.
I was told it was a short and fairly easy hike, which would reach its peak at the naturally warm spring in Klambragil, where bathing is supposedly an unforgettable experience. The trail is called Rjúpnabrekkur (ptarmigan slopes), named so because of the winter population of ptarmigans in the area. The only living creatures in our path though were a couple of sheep walking around, feasting on the grass, which was turning green again after the cold and snowy winter months.
After about ten minutes of walking I realised to my dismay that I am in terrible physical shape. I thought my lungs would burst, my knees started shaking and I was just waiting to fall flat on my face, letting the group move on without me. The small trail seemed endless, and the headwind wasn’t helping. At that point the idea of a hot spring hunt far away in the valley didn’t sound very amusing. But to my surprise, as we ascended I gained strength and became more light-footed, and started enjoying the view, while our guides informed us about this astonishing area.
The Reykjadalur valley is part of the Hengill area, but the 800m volcano Hengill is a central volcano, providing much of the geothermal heat in its surroundings, making the area extremely colourful with patches of silicon and sulphur. The landscape is symptomatic of this, with transfigured rocks, hot springs, warm rivulets and steam – a lot of steam. The view over Reykjadalsá in the middle of Djúpagil gorge, with its steep, rocky mountains on both sides and a waterfall (which to our guide’s knowledge bears no name) is just spectacular. Standing on the edge of the cliff isn’t a wise choice for those afraid of heights but the impression of looking down on the seemingly untouched nature and the amazing scenery below was like being on top of the world.
When the hike was almost half-finished we came across a small shallow river, which we had to pass by jumping on some small rocks and praying not to slip. The group was getting thirsty, and having nothing to drink, one of our guides whipped out a plastic bottle from her bag and filled it with water from the river. Being able to drink ice-cold water from a river in the middle of nowhere is one of the things I cherish so much about Iceland, enjoy it while it lasts: with all the aluminium factories being planned in Iceland’s landscape, no one really knows when these small rivers will cease to exist.
Reykjadalur valley truly lives up to its name. As we reached the heart of it, smoke and steam soared from the hills as from the earth right at our feet and this distinctive smell, typical of thermal areas, welcomed us. Now our hot spring hunt started for real. Loads of small hot springs appeared all around us and I was almost hypnotised while staring down at the bubbling water. For quite a while we just stayed there, trying to figure out how hot the springs really were and how long it would take us to bake bread or boil an egg in the water. No clear answers came from the speculation so one of our guides started looking for her favourite mud pot, which turned out to be the smallest one around. Often the size really doesn’t matter and I understood her affection while looking down into the grey and muddy hole, which bubbled with strange noises and seemed and sounded as if it were puking. We threw some small rocks into it, which vanished rapidly, melted and turned into grey mud. Once bored with that activity we moved on.
For those planning to hike in Reykjadalur it is worth mentioning that this area can be dangerous if you aren’t careful. The water in the hot springs can reach temperatures of 120° Celsius, with no ropes or barriers keeping hikers a good distance from the boiling water. It’s easy to get burned if you aren’t looking where you’re walking. No warning signs have been put up in the area; the only cautionary sign we saw was an inconspicuous sign marked “Danger” located in a weird place that didn’t indicate clearly which direction it referred to. Bear in mind that although these hot springs aren’t as big as the mighty Geysir, they can do serious harm if you step too close. Here the forces of nature are more evident than in many places you will come across. Icelandic nature isn’t always friendly to nosy travellers.
At this point the walking trail became a little bit muddy and swampy, at which time I started cursing my sneakers for real, as they rapidly changed colour, turning from black to brown. Fortunately no major disasters occurred while exploring the hot springs.
As my feet were getting cold and wet I was thrilled when our guide pointed to a small rivulet, only metres away, where we were supposed to go bathing. The place is located right beneath a conflux where the cold river Reykjadalsá unites with the boiling hot water creating a warm spring with a temperature similar to the hot tubs you’ll find in the swimming pools around the country. The conflux could be described as a set of natural mixing taps, which keep the bath warm year-round, creating a luxury Jacuzzi where hikers can relax and gain strength before heading back. Unfortunately I forgot my bathing suit at home, so while our guides whipped their clothes off and jumped into the warm spring, I sat on the side and dipped my toes into the water instead. As we sat there the sun suddenly appeared, warming us up while we ate our lunch, which consisted of hot chocolate and Icelandic “harðfiskur” (dried cod). A weird but tasty combination. My guides kept telling me how cosy and amazing it felt relaxing in the Jacuzzi, and from the expression on their faces I didn’t doubt it for a second. As the time passed, my toes were starting to look like ten little raisins. It was time to head back to civilisation.
The hike back took a much shorter time, the trail descending and the wind not blowing as heavily. Suddenly we were looking down at highway nr. 1 and the jeep became evident. Our time in nature, far from the bustling city, had come to an end, and as bad as I had felt in the beginning of the journey, I really wanted nothing more than to keep on walking in the peacefulness.
After a brief stop for refreshments at the small shop Mæran in Hveragerði, we returned to Reykjavík around 2 am. A little bit tired and dazed from all the clean air, I felt invigorated and relaxed, already planning another trip with my friends to this truly hidden treasure. Next time my bathing suit will surely be the first thing I pack.

Shortening vaccine dose period may reduce long-term protection
Shortening the period for a third dose of COVID-19 vaccine will slow the spread of omicron but may leave individuals less protected in the long-run, a leading virology researcher has cautioned.
His call for caution came as the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation is due to meet to reconsider the booster period, but with co-chairman Professor Allen Cheng advising that it was important to consider “the long game”.
The Victorian, NSW and South Australian governments are pushing to shorten the third dosage period to increase population immunity against the omicron variant.
Acting Victorian Premier James Merlino said the word ‘boosters’ should be dropped.
“Boosters give this connotation that is, you know, that it’s optional or it’s nice to have,” Mr Merlino said.
“That’s not the case. What we’re learning from omicron, because it is so transmissible, is that the third dose is critically important.
“I want it [the time between second and third doses] as short as possible.”
The Kirby Institute’s Associate Professor Stuart Turville said his lab’s research on the omicron variant had revealed a 17- to 22-fold reduction in neutralisation antibodies.
“Unfortunately, the virus has changed quite significantly to the point where [vaccines] won’t protect you from infection, and symptoms,” Professor Turville said.
“We just don’t know at this point in time what is going to be the consequences for somebody who is double-dose vaccinated, who gets infected, in terms of disease severity.”
“That’s the biggest question that we need to keep an eye on.”
Professor Turville said immunity was very multifactorial and described the omicron mutant as “slippery”, meaning it was not a simple exercise to determine its impact on immunity and transmission.
He said that, once infected or vaccinated, the immune system was no longer “wet behind the ears” and was a “more mature” entity than if someone had been unvaccinated.
But he said there was trade-off between shortening the dosage period and longer-lasting protection.
“The thing about it is that if you leave it longer between doses, you give your B cells – the antibody factories and your immune system – a way to feed their roots deeper. The longer you leave, the deeper the roots.
“And when you have that booster shot, at five or six months out, it’ll be a far better response than if you have a truncated period. We know that from the vaccine trials. The longer you leave it, the better response you’re going to have.”
Professor Turville said ATAGI would need to weigh up the individual versus population benefits of shortening the third-dose period.
“We’ve got the issue of the booster for the individual, then we’ve got the issue of rolling out a booster program for pandemic management, which is a different equation.”
Professor Turville said ATAGI shortened the interval for AstraZeneca for pandemic management, “and it waned earlier”.
“The thing about immunity to viruses, it is multifactorial.”
The head of the Doherty Institute, Sharon Lewin, said it was a difficult decision for ATAGI to make.
“Australia has done incredibly well to get so many people their first two doses,” Professor Lewin said.
“At the moment there’s a gap of five months to get the third dose.
“Certainly you get much better immunity after your third dose, and you need that third dose for better protection against omicron.
“The advisory group, ATAGI, are weighing up a number of factors [such as] how quickly your antibodies drop – and yes, they do drop, they start to lower with AstraZeneca at four months – and how much safety data we have about giving the booster earlier, and ability to deliver the vaccines. So they’re weighing all of these things up.”
Professor Lewin said Australia was learning from overseas that “a booster dose gives you that additional protection we want”.
“These are difficult decisions being weighed up using the best evidence available and [factoring in the] availability of vaccines. That may well change in coming days.”
Mr Merlino said Victoria was looking for assurance over delivery.
“What we need to see tomorrow at national cabinet is an agreement to reduce the interval and how the Commonwealth is going to address the issues of our GPs and our pharmacists in terms of rolling out the third dose.
“We’ll step up at a state level in terms of our state hubs, but we need the Commonwealth to work effectively with our GPs and our pharmacies … to roll out the third dose and to roll out a paediatric vaccine and to shorten that interval.“

Shatta Wale took a dig at Sarkodie, after the Sarkcess Music Records Boss congratulated him on being the only Ghanaian artiste to work with Beyonce on the Lion King Album.
We reported earlier that the album will be released on the 18th of July and from the tracklist released already, Shatta Wale will be on a song with Beyonce titled “Already”. Jay Z, Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino, Burna Boy, Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, Yemi Alade and Tekno are also on the album.
Shortly after the report went viral, Sarkodie had tweeted;
Welcome home Queen @Beyonce officially Big shouts @shattawalegh !!! And all our brothers and sisters on there … Big One for the culture
But reacting to the congratulatory message from Sarkodie, Shatta Wale called him a hypocrite in an interview with Zylofon FM. He claimed that the the “tweet was not from Sarkodie’s heart”, as he has always been acting like a boss to him which he hates.
“Sarkodie has become too known. He was recently on Hitz FM and he was trying to pose big to me. I don’t pose big to people. Music is not about your dress and it’s not about how you speak.
“I don’t want hypocrites around me. Sarkodie has always been a hypocrite. I didn’t wish him on his birthday. He think he can tweet about my collabo and make people say he’s a matured person. I won’t retweet his tweet. He can say that message but I know deep down within him it wasn’t a real tweet.”
The two Ghanaian artistes beef has been on for a while. It was reignited in 2018, after Shatta Wale accused Sarkodie of failing to appear for the video shoot of a song they did together.
He rebuked Ghanaian artists for not being supportive of each other, and was quite angry that Sarkodie was shooting a video with a Nigerian artiste.

There is an increasing schism in Orthodox Judaism and a trend by Haredi (Ultra-Orthodox) rabbis not to recognize conversions performed by many Modern Orthodox rabbis. This is already full-blown in Israel where Haredi rabbis refuse to recognize conversions performed by the Chief Rabbinate. Confusingly, the Israeli Chief Rabbinate nowadays has increasingly been dominated by Haredi rabbis who do not recognize the conversions performed by their own employer. The Haredi rabbis of the Chief Rabbinate have tended to unrecognize increasing numbers of Modern Orthodox rabbis in the Diaspora and thus retroactively “annul” all conversions that those rabbis have ever performed. In Israel approximately 95% of Modern Orthodox rabbis support the new government’s conversion reform which is intended to actively encourage the country’s 500 000 non-Jewish citizens of Jewish ancestry to convert to Judaism. This is intended to safeguard the country’s Jewish character and prevent assimilation in Israel. The conversion reform is vehemently opposed by Haredi rabbis and by some among Hardal rabbis, the Haredi-leaning wing of Modern Orthodoxy.
The trend is however for Haredi rabbis not to recognize anything Modern Orthodox rabbis do and increasingly disenfranchise them. This is certainly what is happening in Israel and to a significant degree in the Diaspora as well. Modern Orthodox rabbis are all religious Zionists while Haredi rabbis are mostly non-Zionists who seek theocracy in Israel with a minority of Anti-Zionists opposing theocracy in Israel prior to the coming of the Mashiach (messiah). The schism over Zionism between Modern Orthodox rabbis and Haredi rabbis is a deep one with Modern Orthodox rabbis seeing Zionism as the beginning of the redemption of the world and the coming of the Mashiach.
The Israeli government is planning to change the procedure for electing national Chief Rabbis. There are two national Chief Rabbis in Israel with one always being Ashkenazi and the other Sephardi or Mizrahi (descended from Muslim countries). In addition, does every majority Jewish city in Israel have its own municipal Chief Rabbi. The national Chief Rabbis have for decades already been all Haredi and an increasing number of municipal chief rabbis are Haredi as well. This trend is part of the Haredi attempt to take over the Chief Rabbinate from Modern Orthodoxy. The new Israeli government in contrast intends to take back the Chief Rabbinate from increasing Haredi control. What we are seeing are the early signs of Modern Orthodox Judaism and Haredi Judaism going separate ways and becoming distinct streams of Judaism.
It may take twenty years for Israel to catch up economically with the United States if the Israeli economic growth rate in the past decade is sustained, something which is likely considering that the growth is largely driven by Israel’s expansive high tech sector. Israel has already caught up economically with most economies of northwestern Europe. Although assimilation is extensive in the Diaspora and the intermarriage rate staggering is it quite possible that the economic attractivity of Israel will reach a point where Israel manages to attract major Aliyah (immigration) from the rabbinically Jewish Diaspora of Western countries. This is likely to be similar to the Aliyah from the former Soviet Union which has included a large proportion of olim (immigrants) who are not Jewish according to Halakha due to being patrilineally Jewish rather than matrilineally Jewish. This will necessitate once more large-scale outreach to encourage Zerah Israel (the seed of Israel, the Halakhic term for patrilineal Jews) to convert to Judaism to become recognized as Jewish by most Modern Orthodox Jews, although not by Haredi Jews.
Median Jewish mass Aliyah will also be enhanced by economic motives as was the rabbinically Jewish mass Aliyah from the former Soviet Union. There is likely to be a significant number of cases of intermarried Median Jewish immigrants, predominantly Alevis from Turkey and there will be need for large-scale conversions for patrilineal Jews in those cases as well.
Although Hardal Jews (Haredi-leaning Modern Orthodox Jews) form a bridge between Haredi Judaism and Modern Orthodox Judaism will there increasingly be a schism between Zionist Jewry and Haredi Jewry to the point where Modern Orthodox Judaism and Haredi Judaism become separate denominations of Judaism. This has far-reaching implications for Israel where most Zionist Jews are unwilling to allow Israel to become a Haredi theocracy, a so-called “halakhic state”.
Modern Orthox rabbis are likely to become ever emboldened in taking back control over Jewish religious state and municipal institutions in Israel from the suffocating Haredi control which delegitimizes Modern Orthodox Judaism and the conversions performed by Modern Orthodox rabbis. The number of Zionist Jews who are not recognized as Jewish by Haredi Judaism is also likely to grow with immigration from both the rabbinically Jewish Diaspora and the Median Jewish Diaspora. This will increasingly contribute to the widening of the existing schism in Orthodox Judaism in Israel.
The reality of Judaism will become ever more pluralist in Israel as both Median Jews and Rabbinic Jews are economically attracted to immigrate to Israel and this will include increasing numbers who are not halakhically Jewish and who will thus need to be proactively encouraged to undergo conversion to Judaism. While some Median Jews may opt to become practicing Orthodox Jews are the vast majority of Median Jews likely to continue to remain loyal to their own denominations of Median Judaism, thus turning Judaism in Israel increasingly pluralist and multi-denominational. Median Jewish Aliyah to Israel is likely to contribute to the undermining of the Orthodox monopoly over Jewish religious services as Israel no doubt will have to officially recognize the streams of Median Judaism (Druze Median Judaism is already recognized as a separate denomination) as official denominations of Judaism considering that Median Jews will become the majority in Israel.

Okay, before we get started I have to share some exciting news: I just got an advanced copy of my new book Fashion Inside Out from my publisher and it looks AMAZING!!! So many long hours went into it, almost a year of shooting, and countless moments of frustration, but to see it bound and looking beautiful in my hands made it all worth it! There's a big book tour coinciding with the US and UK launch date (October 28th I believe) that will take me all over the country, but I'll be sure to post more information about that when the time is closer... but I just couldn't resist sharing the exciting news!
Okay, tone it down Daniel, you rarely use so many exclamation points in one paragraph and you're starting to sound like a 10 year old on IM (LOL!) This week's challenge was a fantastic one, wasn't it? The designers were blessed with using high-end fabrics, they got to hear about what the challenge from the designer herself, and then, on top of it all, they had the opportunity to have it reproduced! Diane von Furstenberg is truly a living legend in the fashion community, and someone who has consistently designed beautiful clothing that makes women of all ages and sizes feel beautiful and sexy. Her qualifications make her an excellent judge and mentor. Tie in having Fern Mallis (both of whom are in my book! Wink wink) critique the designer's work, and they're getting a real-life dose of what NY Fashion is all about.
Considering Blayne's penchant for color and extremism, I have to say this look is pretty good. The jacket is fantastic and I simply can't believe that he did that in such a short amount of time; the silhouette works in beautifully with DVF's fall collection with its wide collar and cinched waist. Though I feel the blouson shorts may have worked in a slightly softer, more sophisticated fabric, I just don't see them looking chic enough as is. The exposed ties on the legs also make them look a little home-made, and then pairing them with bare legs and black pumps makes the whole look seem a bit disjointed - summer meets winter meets business casual. Good pieces, but not a knockout.
Fantastic job this week! I thought he did a great job of marrying his style with Diane's, and ended up with a gorgeous look. The color story and silhouette scream DVF, but I really enjoyed the futuristic touches of patent blue inserts he included on the jacket, really elevating it from looking like something she simply pulled from her archive. The only reason I can think of as to why this didn't make the cut was because of the length of the skirt; similar to his last challenge's mini skirt, this one is just a tad too short, and too young. I do think he styled his model appropriately and think the t-strap shoes and box hat help to make her look more period and relatable to the collection's inspiration. Nice job!
Though I find this design to be pretty bad, I was on the fence halfway through the show, thinking that it was possible for him to end on the good side of straddling the risk-factor. The color combination was a risk, as was the hooded cape, but add in the poor execution (which I don't understand because he's handled past challenges beautifully?) it really was destined to crash and burn. When Joe was first showing Tim the hooded cape idea in the workroom, he held up (which I now know was just muslin) white fabric that looked much cozier and appropriate for the garment. Granted, the skirt/top was made very badly, but if he had made the cape out of cozy cashmere or wool in winter white, or something more outwear appropriate than the metallic dancewear he chose, I think it could've worked.
Hmmmm. I'm not sure what to really say about this dress. Yes, the fabric is gorgeous, yes, the silhouette is reminiscent of the inspiration, and yes, she's styled beautifully, but I can't get over the fact that it's just a dress. Unlike some of the other designer's looks, and many of Kenley's past challenges, this just doesn't hold its own when compared to the other designs being shown. Regardless of how it would sell in a store, it still needs to stand out the runway amidst everyone else's designs, and I think Kenley just didn't do enough. There are many times where a designer is weary of over-designing a look when they want the beauty of a fabrication to stand out, but I think that there was a way of doing a more interesting dress without losing the focus of the gorgeous fabric. In the end, the best part of the dress IS the fabric, and that's the one thing that Kenley didn't create. I'm sure I'm being so tough on Kenley because I think she's a good designer and I'd like to see her keep pushing herself - come on girl!
Another very good, very bold look from Korto! I really think that she creates beautiful clothing and I love when she's confident in her designs - as she really isn't afraid to be daring when she's on. Korto really seems to love volume in her clothing, but she's smart enough to do it strategically. This jacket is flattering, wearable, sexy, and a smart accent to the dress. Though I'm usually not a big fan of colored inserts in evening gowns, I think the way she did it works. I'm also not a fan of ankle-length dresses and feel that it would've been more of an impact had she made it floor-length, though somehow it works on her model. Similar to Leanne's look, Korto designed two strong pieces that work together, an approach that some of the other designers really struggled with.
I'm in lust with this look. From her finger-wave tresses to the sweeping hem, I can find NOTHING that I dislike about this design. I adore navy for evening wear, finding it both sexy and strong (something that I feel is very much DVF's aesthetic) but when accented with a cascade of soft ruffles it just oozes sexiness. I literally "ooohhed" when Leanne's model took off the jacket to showcase the dress's neckline, a subtle take on a classic v-neck. The jacket is both soft, yet structured, and is proportionately perfect for her model - Leanne was smart to heed Tim's advice about chopping the length. Another win for the lovely Leanne! Yay!!!
Wow, this was pretty bad. I was surprised how bad the execution was because that really seemed to be one of Stella's strong points - her technique. I have a feeling that she's more accustomed to working with tight woven fabrics (or leather) which don't have a lot of give to them, so you can sew it up and just pour the model into it... everything pretty much stays in place. Though with this spongy wool, it has a tendency to have a much softer hand and though it's a "menswear" fabric, it's still soft and feminine. Not to bring back horrible memories, but do you remember the suit that Nick designed for me for the make-over challenge? It was a good design that needed a crisp, sturdy fabric and not the softer, spongy version that was used. Anyways, I digress. I think that Stella truly was the rocker with a heart of gold and really did a great job of holding her own on this show. Stella will never work for a designer as feminine as DVF, and she shouldn't, because they both have their own distinct point-of-view and that's what makes them both fabulous. Good luck Stella and know that many of us, including my boyfriend and I, will greatly miss your sharp wit and straight-to-the-point comments!
This is the (Okay, I've really lost track at this point) week in a row that Suede has sent a disjointed look down the runway. I love the green "camo" print he chose, and the neckline of the dress was both sexy yet demure, but the awkwardness of the heavy skirt (with unnecessary slit) and sporty vest took your eye away from the good points of the look. When Tim commented that there was too much fullness, I thought Suede would take the hint to either lose some (which I think he did) or chop the dress to make it younger and flirtier. If he had gone with option two, I don't think it would've meshed perfectly well with the rest of DVF's collection, but I think it would've been an improvement over what he had, and honestly, more Suede.
Though Terri was getting flack from the other designers for repeat designing her signature pant/jacket combo, it doesn't really bother me that much, because she keeps changing it up. I think that this look was very DVF and would fit in very well with her fall collection. Yes, I can see that the crotch of the pants are a bit... ummm... tight, let's hope it's just the way the model is standing that's causing so much...ummm...tension. Overall, I think that this look was good, but there wasn't that "wow" factor that some of the other designers had, leaving her somewhere in the safe zone for another week.

The badminton events will kick off on Friday at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Center with the mixed team competition.
India, the defending champions in the mixed team event, are in Group A with Australia, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan.
Hosts England are in Group B while powerhouses Malaysia are in Group D. A total of 16 teams are participating in the mixed team event with the top two teams from each group making the knockouts. Watch live streaming of CWG badminton events.
The singles and the doubles badminton events at Birmingham 2022 will start on August 3 and will run till August 8.
With two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu, world championships medallists Kidambi Srikanth and Lakshya Sen, and India’s top doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, India are sending one of their strongest contingents to the Commonwealth Games.
World No. 7 PV Sindhu, a former world champion, has won three BWF titles this year.
Her most recent success came at the Singapore Open BWF Super 500 badminton event this month, making her one of the leading contenders for an Individual gold at Birmingham 2022.
PV Sindhu had lost to Saina Nehwal in the Commonwealth Games 2018 final and is yet to win a singles gold at CWG. Defending champion Saina Nehwal will not be competing this time.
In Saina Nehwal’s absence, doubles veteran Ashwini Ponnappa, 32, will be the most experienced Indian shuttler in the Indian women’s team, which also has 19-year-olds Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand.
The Indian men’s team, meanwhile, will be without in-form HS Prannoy and world championships bronze medallist B Sai Praneeth.
World No. 10 Lakshya Sen, 20, will be making his Commonwealth Games debut. Kidambi Srikanth, 11th in the badminton world rankings, and the men’s doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, will look to go one better this time in their respective events after losing the finals in 2018.
At the last edition of the Commonwealth Games, the Indian badminton players returned with two golds, three silvers and one bronze medal, making it their best-ever show at the Commonwealth Games.
Badminton made its debut at the Commonwealth Games in 1966. Since then, England have been the most successful nation in the sport with 109 medals followed by Malaysia’s tally of 64. India, with 25 medals, are third on the list.

Let’s go thrifting and discover ideas for Spring decorating with thrifted finds!
Have you ever walked into a beautifully decorated home and wondered how much it cost to achieve such a stunning look? What if I told you that you can achieve the same level of style and charm without breaking the bank? That’s right! Spring decorating with thrifted finds has become a popular trend among interior design enthusiasts and budget-savvy individuals alike due to the economic and sustainable elements that thrifting allows.
Thrifted Goodies Volume 21
Hello, guys! Welcome back to the blog and to the next installment in the ‘Thrifted Goodies’ series! If you are new around here, welcome!
This is a monthly series where my friend MaryJo from the blog Master’pieces’ of my Life and I share thrift hauls, thrifting tips, and general thrift shopping advice.
MasterPieces of My Life
My friend and partner in this series, MaryJo, is sharing a thrifty post all about thrifted baskets and easy ways of styling them. After you are done here, head over to her post and say hello!

Sustainable Spring Decorating
With a little creativity and a keen eye for unique treasures, you can transform your home into a welcoming and stylish space. In this article, we will explore the art of thrifting and how you can use it to revamp your home decor for the new season.
Come along and learn how to give your space a fresh look using affordable and sustainable options!
Why Buy Vintage Home Decor from the Thrift Store?
Vintage items, or really any item found thrifted, truly is a treasure. Because, if you think about it, how many hands did it have to go through before settling on a shelf, only for you to come across it? Thrift shopping is such a thrill every time you go because you never know what you are going to find!
Thrifting for vintage decor is:
So, if you want the short answer, why not thrift for home decor?! You literally have nothing to lose!
Thrifting for Spring Decor Styles
Did you know that you can thrift items that match a specific decor style?
Decor styles for Spring can include:
- modern farmhouse
- cottage core
Then, when are out thrift shopping, you can keep your eye out for those specific kinds of items. Thrifting is an amazing way to find unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that fit any aesthetic!
Decorating Your Home with Budget-Friendly Spring Finds
If you are not mindfully paying attention, seasonal decorating can get very expensive. But great news! It doesn’t have to be!
Spring decor items that you can find at the thrift store can include:
- vintage dishes
- Easter themed items
- faux flowers
- trays or platters
- vases or jars
- textiles such as throw pillows, blankets, or rugs
Then, when you get your newly thrifted pieces home, each item can be thoughtfully styled and incorporated with your existing decor. It’s truly a win-win situation and is how I choose to outfit my home season after season.
Spring Decorating with Thrifted Finds- A Thrift Haul
With all of that knowledge, let’s get into this month’s thrift haul. I’ve found some incredible pieces of decor that can be used for Spring and beyond!
Wanna know the best part? I spent under $30 for everything! Cool, huh?! Here we go!
Floral Table Linen
I keep telling myself that I’m not going to buy any more linens but who am I kidding?!
Like…how could I leave this beautiful embroidered floral table linen behind?
The lace edge is what caught my eye first and then, turned it over, only to gaze upon the most glorious Spring flowers. For only $4.00, I knew this had to grace my dining table for the season.
I especially like how this table linen is a smaller square. Because my table is round, the larger linens tend to be too much fabric, hanging down into our laps when we eat and nobody wants that!
I always say that less is more. Truly, you don’t need to do much when styling this type of decor because these vintage finds speak for themselves!
2 Jadeite Saucers
Now, there was a whole stack of them sitting on top of one of those glass cases near the front of the store. Since they were priced at $6.99 a piece, I decided to get just two. If they had been priced lower, I probably would have grabbed the entire stack.
BUT! $6.99 in jadeite prices these days is such a steal and I’m SO happy I stopped at the thrift store on that day!
They both do have the ‘Fire King’ stamp on the bottom.
When I’m looking at jadeite or milk glass, I try to make sure that a stamp or maker’s mark is present. That way, I know that I’m getting an actual piece of vintage glass, not a reproduction.
For Spring, I stacked them in my hutch with the few other pieces of jadeite that I’ve collected.
I’m totally digging this jadeite and pink color combo for the season!
Vintage Creamer and Silver Spoon
These next two finds aren’t necessarily Spring, per se. However, both things can be used any time of the year, especially if you pair them with an existing collection.
Remember back in the Fall when I was finding little creamers everywhere?! Well, it’s been awhile since I’ve found one.
I happened to stumble upon this Buffalo china creamer for just .99 cents and staged it with this pretty floral silver spoon, which I also recently found, for just .49 cents! That adds up to just $1.50 for the pair…so cool!
My friend Melanie from Lost and Found Decor has gotten me on a vintage flatware kick but I’m not mad about it 🙂 They just don’t make flatware like they used to!
The back of the spoon is marked ‘Tudor Plate’ by Oneida. I keep this pretty spoon at our coffee station and use it to stir my coffee.
Pretty spoons make the coffee taste better, wouldn’t you agree?!
As for the creamer, I’ve added it to my green and white creamer collection.
This collection is one of my very favorites and the colors match my kitchen, enabling me to display them all year round. Knowing that I’ve thrifted each of these cutie little creamers makes it all the merrier!
Baskets are such lovely decor pieces but there’s just something about using them in the Springtime that’s extra special. Maybe it’s all the potential that baskets hold and relating that to the hope that Spring puts forth in us.
In any case, thrifted baskets are just about the most versatile item that you can find and contain so much texture! This one, which I found buried on the bottom of a shelf, is in perfect condition and was only $3.00!
The little handles are just darling and don’t even get me started on the latch that twists. I’ve never come across a basket quite like this one before!
And, when you open it, the hinges are tight enough so that the lid stays open! How neat!
There are so many ways to style a thrifted basket. But, for Spring, I placed a white hanky in the corner of it in such a way that the floral design can be seen when the lid is shut.
I know it’s kind of dark down here on the floor but I wanted to show you where I have the basket displayed.
It’s sitting on the bottom shelf of a night stand in our bedroom.
This thrifted basket brings such texture and rustic color to an otherwise bland space!
4 Vintage White Hankies
Here we go again with the linens that I said I wasn’t going to buy:) I mean..who can resist such lovely lace textiles?!
All three hankies came from the same thrift store and you’ll never believe the price….49 cents each!
The first hanky I have folded and sitting underneath a bowl in my hutch.
The next hanky (my favorite out of the three) I placed, once again, underneath a larger decor piece on the mantel.
I like how the soft, feminine hanky breaks up two hard surfaces. It’s like a hanky sandwich!
Vintage hankies also look amazing when used in a seasonal vignette.
I styled the third white hanky into this Spring basket display. Alongside my prized flower frog and some vintage dishes, this hanky looks so pretty for the season!
Last but not least, this is the most Spring-like hanky out of the lot. It has a Tulip embroidered on one side of it!
This hanky is styled on the other side of the mantel as, again, a base for decor. My cute bunnies needed somewhere soft to sit for the season and the Tulip hanky was the perfect solution!
Eyelet Table Runner
The last item on the list today, but certainly my most favorite, is this vintage eyelet table runner.
It’s just stunning! With the scalloped edges, the eyelet detailing, and the soft white color of the fabric, this old linen has everything going for it!
And, the price tag wasn’t too shabby either, coming in at just $1.99.
This style of vintage linen, due to the delicate pattern, elevates any space. And, because these runners are typically white, you can incorporate them with literally anything and it will all blend seamlessly together.
For Spring, I placed this on top of the credenza before styling my vintage dishes and other Spring decor on top of it. I just adore it!
Closing Tidbits for Spring Decorating with Thrifted Finds
That concludes my thrift haul for today! Decorating for Spring with thrifted finds is not only a budget-friendly option but it also allows for creativity and sustainability.
With a little imagination, you can effortlessly incorporate thrifted items into your Spring decor. So, don’t hesitate to hit up your local thrift store and see what treasures you can find!
Take the first step towards a more environmentally-friendly and unique home by curating each space with thrifted finds, finding a new way of living along the way. Happy thrifting!

Drunk golfers threatening staff at the course? Probably not as common, but still not enough to report here.
Drunk, threatening staff with a tee marker? Now you’re talking! For those not familiar with what a golf tee marker is, think of it as a giant push pin. When inserted into the tee area, two of them mark the space where you can hit your first shot. Usually you don’t see the giant spike end to the markers that are pushed into the ground. (At right, an example of a tee marker from the folks at Putting-Greens.com.) But trust us, you don’t want someone coming at your with one. According to cops, that’s exactly what happened at the Stonepine Estate and Resort in Carmel City, CA this past week. It also makes us laugh that this guy is described as a “local wine maker.”
Stephan Kidder, 36, was taken into custody after deputies found him so intoxicated at the resort that he could not care for himself, sheriff’s officials said. Deputies also said Kidder trespassed on business property and interfered with business operations before brandishing a spiked T-box marker at a staff member when he was asked to leave. When deputies got the scene, Kidder ran into the Carmel River. Deputies were able to talk him out of the river and placed him into custody.

This week we will return to finish exploring Paper 194 - Bestowal of the Spirit of Truth. We will read the last section of this paper, Section 4. Beginnings of the Christian Church. This section provides a fascinating, insightful and candid narrative of the beginnings of Christianity. Then, we'll go on to Paper 195: After Pentecost. This is where the Urantia Book allows us to take a bold and revealing look at Christianity in the modern world.
We'll begin a study of these intriguing topics: 1.Influence of the Greeks 2.The Roman Influence 3.Under the Roman Empire 4.The European Dark Ages 5.The Modern Problem 6.Materialism 7.The Vulnerability of Materialism 8.Secular Totalitarianism 9.Christianity's Problem and 10.The Future
Consider this: Wisely or unwisely, these early leaders of Christianity deliberately compromised the ideals of Jesus in an effort to save and further many of his ideas. And they were eminently successful. But mistake not! these compromised ideals of the Master are still latent in his gospel, and they will eventually assert their full power upon the world.
By this paganization of Christianity the old order won many minor victories of a ritualistic nature, but the Christians gained the ascendancy in that:
1. A new and enormously higher note in human morals was struck. 2. A new and greatly enlarged concept of God was given to the world. 3. The hope of immortality became a part of the assurance of a recognized religion. 4. Jesus of Nazareth was given to man's hungry soul.
Many of the great truths taught by Jesus were almost lost in these early compromises, but they yet slumber in this religion of paganized Christianity, which was in turn the Pauline version of the life and teachings of the Son of Man. And Christianity, even before it was paganized, was first thoroughly Hellenized. Christianity owes much, very much, to the Greeks.

With Apple’s blessing, you can finally fix your iPhone in your own home. On Wednesday, the company announced a new section of its website where you can buy equipment and replacement parts, including new display screens, batteries and speakers. The online store seems easy enough to use, and Apple is also offering a customer repair kit – which weighs about 79 pounds – that you can rent for $ 49 a week.
This new program is a big change for Apple. Historically, the company typically has Apple-certified technicians in only its 5,000 Apple-approved service providers, repair equipment and replacement parts, and more than 3,000 independent repair stores. Apples have long Criticism has come from right-to-repair advocates who want manufacturers to give customers the ability to fix their own devices, for this policy, as well as for hardware design practices that cannot be easily upgraded or include certain components that only Apple Access There is.
The new repair program looks simple enough. Apple has developed repair manuals for specific device lineups, including the iPhone 12, iPhone 13 and third-generation iPhone SE. After you have studied your specific phone repair manual, you can go to the company’s self-service repair store, which lets you search from over 200 parts based on your own iPhone model. The site also offers tools that you can use to complete your repairs, including a $ 99 torque driver and $ 216 press for a display screen.
If you do not want to buy an expensive tool that you will have to own forever, you can rent a customized kit that includes all the gadgets you need. These kits, which come in one or two boxes, are extremely heavy, so Apple recommends a number of strategies for picking them up, including “think before you lift” and “take your time.” Once you have everything you need, Apple will send all the supplies you order to your home. Once your repairs are done, you can return some of your old parts for reuse in exchange for Apple Store credit.
At the moment the program is limited to the iPhone and is only available in the United States. But later this year, the store will expand to include some Mac computers and be available in other countries, starting in Europe.
Repairing Apple devices has long been an expensive and tedious process, so the company’s new store is a welcome development. But at the same time, it’s not clear if Apple is doing what it can to make its products easier to repair, especially since the program is still limited to a few iPhone models. After all, in recent years dozens of states have proposed right-to-repair laws, bills that Apple has fought. For example, the company successfully convinced California lawmakers in 2019 that customers could accidentally damage the iPhone’s lithium-ion battery while trying to repair them. Apple also suggested that unauthorized repairs could compromise the security and privacy of its devices.
Despite Apple’s best efforts, this right-to-repair movement has recently won support at the White House. In July, President Joe Biden passed an executive order directing the Federal Trade Commission, among other things, to create new right-to-repair regulations. Towards the end of that month, the company announced that it would ramp up against “illegal” restrictions on repairs, following the filing of an investigation by various technology manufacturers used to make products more difficult. Apple’s decision was announced in November on the same day as a deadline related to a right-to-repair resolution filed by activist Apple. Shareholders back in September, a connection was first reported by The Verge.
Green Century – the sustainable-centric mutual fund that led that effort – has overturned its resolution, forcing Apple to study the environmental impact of its tough repair policy.
“We felt it was a big enough step,” Analisa Tarizo, a Green Century shareholder advocate, told Record in November. “We hope to be involved in the companies that invest in this issue because we think it’s really important and there are real risks for investors involved in this issue.”
New guidelines from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could affect Apple’s timing, Tarizo added. Two weeks before Apple’s announcement, the company withdrew a Trump-era rule that made it easier for companies to dismiss socially conscious shareholder resolutions. Green Century also had a deadline on Wednesday to defend its proposal to the SEC, which asked Apple to block it.
So Apple’s concessions to some demands from right-to-repair activists appear to be an attempt to give precedence to new regulations with its repair program. But there are some limitations to the company going forward. It’s not exactly encouraging all users to start rooting their iPhones and MacBooks. In a press release announcing self-service repairs, Apple said the program is “for specialized technicians with the knowledge and experience to repair electronic devices” and “most customers” must go to an approved repair store. Meanwhile, customers who decide to repair their own devices under the new program will still have to buy parts directly from Apple, which also sets the price of those components.
“This is not the open source repair revolution we’ve seen through our fight for repair rights,” Elizabeth Chamberlain, iFixit’s director of sustainability, said in a November blog post. “While there is now an ‘official’ way to avoid warning messages and feature loss when you need to replace batteries, cameras or displays, Apple has less incentive to help users of third-party devices, even those that have been rescued.” Other iPhones. By controlling the parts market, Apple can also decide when devices will become obsolete. ”
This is not the first time that Apple has adjusted its strategy before taking possible regulation or legal action. In a proposed settlement to a class-action lawsuit representing software developers last summer, Apple said it would allow companies to tell iPhone and iPad users how to pay for purchases, such as subscriptions, outside the App Store ecosystem. In September, the company also changed its rules for in-app purchases while embroiled in a contentious lawsuit with Epic Games. None of these app-related updates have changed Apple’s policy of charging large fees to third parties operating in Apple’s ecosystem, while Apple’s own apps get free rides.
Apple seems to be taking a similar approach with its new repair system. But while the company’s new program brings a lot of caution, the move is a big win for customers who don’t want to send their devices to Apple or find an approved repair shop.
Updated, April 27, 11:30 am ET: This story has been updated to mention that Apple’s repair shop is now available.

The German Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area has re‐evaluated the biological tolerance value at the work place (BAT value) for xylene and its isomers, considering xylene in blood and methylhippuric (toluric) acid (all isomers) to characterize the internal exposure. Xylene can easily pass through the skin, so biological monitoring is necessary for a valid individual risk assessment.
Xylene shows a fast elimination in the blood compartment. Thus, the concentration of xylene in blood is halved 30 minutes after the end of exposure. Therefore, sampling should be performed directly at the end of exposure. This is, however, difficult to realize in practice. Therefore, the BAT value for xylene (all isomers) in blood was withdrawn. Methylhippuric (toluric) acid in urine is available as a diagnostically specific parameter. The BAT value for methylhippuric acid is confirmed.

First of all, I presume that this is a limited jurisdiction (under $25K) case, since a Section 98 declaration in lieu of live testimony can only be used in a limited jurisdiction case.
It is quite common for the declarant in a debt collection case to state in a Section 98 declaration that the attorney's law office is authorized to accept service of a subpoena.
You can't object on this ground, even if the declarant is out of state. Your hope is that the witness fails to show up at trial, in which case, you can argue to the court that the plaintiff failed to prove its case and have a judgment rendered in your favor. Good luck!

This Avvo.com posting does not create any attorney-client relationship with the author. For specific advice about your particular situation, please consult with your own attorney.Ask a similar question
If this is a trial subpoena, it is not enforceable against witnesses located outside of California. The attorney can agree to accept service on behalf of his client or the client's witenss. If this witness is essential to the other party's ability to prove their case, in all likelihood the attorney will make arrangements for the person to attend trial. If this witness is employed by a the other party, you can serve up to 25 days before trial a Notice to the Party to produce persons to testify or produce documents at trial, or within 10 days of trial, serve a notice to appear at trial, identifying the party or its employee you wish to appear. Add 5 days if you serve these papers by mail on the party's attorney instead of delivering them in person. The court may find the Notices are not sufficient to compel the party to produce someone from out of state, but the party will have to produce someone in response to the Notices. You should discuss with the attorney when the witness will appear so that you will be able to examine the witness at trial. The court expects parties to work out logistical issues like this in advance of trial.Ask a similar question
the rule requires that the declarant inder CCP 98, be available for service. If the declarant has authorized the atty to accept service, that is acceptable. The law requires there be a means for the deft like you to serve a subpena on the declarant that requires the declarant to appear. This rule means you dont have to try to serve some one out of state. For example, corporations have agents designated to accept service. if declarant doesnt show, you shuld win. if declarant shows, you have to defend on other basis.Ask a similar question
