The Cherry MX Clear keycaps and Cherry MX Clear switches are a perfect combination for any gamer or typist looking for an amazing typing experience and aesthetic.
Cherry MX Clear keycaps are some of the most unique keycaps currently on the market. These keycaps are the usual Cherry MX quality but what makes them unique is that they’re completely see-through. You can find tons of benefits acquired from using the Cherry MX Clear keycaps. We will explain all of them in detail below.
Alongside the clear keycaps, one of the most popular silent switches are the Cherry MX Clear switches. They provide unrivaled precision and tactile feedback. This paired with unique construction and durability make them one of the best switches out there for a mechanical keyboard.
Tons of keyboards come with built-in Cherry MX Clear switches and we will list some of them below as well.
What makes Cherry MX Clear keycaps and switches special?
You have definitely heard of the legendary Cherry MX switches and keycaps since you are here. The switches and keycaps consist of unique materials and technology. The switches consist of trademarked features which makes them extremely durable and reliable. This allows for reliable and accurate performance.
Cherry MX Switch categories
The Cherry MX mechanical switches come in three different categories.
You can choose between linear switches and either non-clicky tactile switches or clicky tactile switches.
All different types of switches come in different colors according to their features. You can find 13 different switches from Cherry MX with different weights and actuation distances.
Older different variations exist as well but they’re no longer sold in consumer mechanical keyboards.
The most common linear variants are Cherry MX Black and Red switches. The Cherry MX Clear and Brown switches are most popular from the tactile variants.
Special contact points and structure of the switches
Cherry MX Switches uses special gold crosspoint contacts to actuate a key-press. A gold crosspoint consists of two gold plated strips of alloy in a cross formation.
This allows for very little grinding at the contact point alongside low contact resistance and very short bounce times.
This mechanism allows a movable leaf to fold on itself at the top of the switch allowing for contact.
The clicky switches have a special two-piece slider setup. This makes the clicking sound when the actuation point is reached and the spring pushes one of the pieces downwards.
Unique custom designed keycaps
All of the Cherry MX keycaps are specially designed with the end user in mind. They’re made from the most durable materials which is why they can be costly.
The Cherry MX keycaps are especially designed for use with Cherry MX switches which makes them a perfect fit. You can get them in unlimited colors and combinations.
The main type of cap we are focusing on here is the amazing Cherry MX Clear keycap. They look absolutely stunning with RGB back-lit mechanical keyboards.
The company does not manufacture official keycaps to be sold separately, so we listed some sources below.
Cherry MX Clear keycaps
One of the lesser known, yet aesthetically beautiful keycaps are the Cherry MX Clear keycaps. Many people are aware of the clear switches, but are not aware there are also fully clear Cherry MX keycaps.
Although you can use them alongside any switches, we highly recommend pairing them up with the Cherry MX Clear switches.
The Cherry MX Clear keycaps are meant to be used with backlit keyboards. Without any light sources, the keycaps have a distinctive clear white color which is cool on its own as well. However with RGB lighting, the keycaps diffuse the light into an amazing glow.
You can find many different manufacturers for the Cherry MX Clear keycaps and they all vary in price slightly. However one of our favorites is the Max Universal Clear Translucent keycap set. It goes for around $45 USD which can be a bit pricey.
If you happen to be on a budget, you can get a full set of Clear keycaps from AliExpress for under 10 dollars. Sure they’re nowhere near as high quality, but definitely worth the ridiculously cheap price.
It is worth noting that the Cherry keyboard company does not manufacture separate keycaps. They only sell pre-assembled keyboards and their branded switches.
This means you need to look for your keycaps from other reliable sources such as the ones above. Just ensure the design is optimal Cherry MX switches before buying, as some switches have designs that don’t support the same type of mounting.
Cherry MX Clear Switches – The perfect middle ground
One of the coolest colors in the Cherry MX lineup is the clear option. It is often overlooked as it is very similar to the more popular MX Brown switch.
The Cherry MX Clear switch belongs to the tactile category as it doesn’t have acoustic feedback or a clicking sound. This is optimal for office workers and game streamers, who might not want audible sounds.
The Cherry MX Clear switches have an actuation force of 65 cN or centinewton.
This means it requires slightly more operating force in comparison to the MX Brown switches 55 cN.
Some people often prefer to use the Cherry MX Clear switches alongside the Brown ones. They’re very useful for larger keys like the spacebar or enter keys if you don’t want them to actuate as easily.
The Cherry MX Clear switches are larger in size in comparison the the linear switches.
The only exception is the Linear Grey switch which is also fairly large. All in all, if you are looking for amazing switches for gaming or typing alongside some cool back-lighting, the Cherry MX Clear switches are a perfect choice for your mechanical keyboard alongside the Cherry MX Clear keycaps.
Mechanical keyboards with Cherry MX Clear switches
There are quite a few very popular keyboards that consist of Cherry MX Clear switches. Below you can find some of our favorites. Make sure to read up on some reviews online if you are not quite sure if the keyboard is right for you.
Code Keyboard V3
The CODE keyboard is a very sleek and simple mechanical keyboard utilizing the Cherry MX Clear switches. This keyboard is wildly popular and jam packed full of cool features, despite its compact size.

Some of the cool features include lighting setting memorization, multimedia shortcuts and customizable lock indicator RGB lights.
The CODE keyboard comes with a new Type-C USB cable and has no logo or branding tarnishing the sleek design.
The keyboard also has programmable key mapping and macros utilizing 4 separate customizable layers.
The MK Fission keyboard is also a very popular alternative. What makes the MK Fission so unique is the design.
The keyboard has a large panel surrounding the outer edges containing RGB lighting. The keyboard looks like it is sitting on a cool RGB book of sorts.
The Cherry MX Clear switches come in either white or RGB LEDs, but the original design of this keyboard intends the keys to have a clean white look, alongside the surrounding color strip.
The MK Fission one of the cheapest options coming in at around 115 dollars. The keyboard has many of the other popular functions making it optimal for gaming as well as writing.
The downside is there is no variations without a number pad on the side, which is often unnecessary.
Ducky Shine 4
The Ducky Shine 4 is the newest addition to the popular Ducky lineup. Alongside the Cherry MX Clear switches, this keyboard has a ton of distinguishing features that sets it apart from all the other MX Clear switch keyboards out there.
Obviously the sleek and slim look is a big selling point for this keyboard, but there are tons of hidden features.
The first being the detachable Mini-USB cable and removable keyboard stand, making the Ducky Shine 4 very portable.
The keyboard also has dual color LEDs and constantly upgrading firmware. The keycaps are ABS lasered providing great tactile feedback for all-purpose use.

Cherry MX Silent switches – Zero noise, same quality
The Cherry MX lineup consists of three separate categories as detailed above. However, the linear type of switches are the quiet ones with no tactile clicking or actuation sounds.
There are a few Cherry MX Silent switches that make no sound whatsoever. The most popular ones are the Silent Red and Silent Black switches.
These have recently become available worldwide in the previous years due to high demand.
Cherry MX Silent Red Switches
First up is the Cherry MX Silent Red mechanical key switch. They consist of the same high quality components as other MX series switches.
However they contain special materials and patented noise reduction technology to reduce any noise made while typing.
This is done by integrating this technology into one of the two parts of the switch stem.
The Silent Red switches are the based on the normal MX Red switches without the clicking.
They are very light requiring 45 cN of operating force and have a short 3.7 millimeter travel distance.
This makes the Silent Red switch optimal for an office environment and other writing activities. For gaming, you might want to look into the Silent Black switches.
Cherry MX Silent Black Switches
The second option is the Cherry MX Silent Black switch. This switch uses the same patented noise reduction technology as the Silent Reds, meaning the switches make no noise while typing.
In comparison to the Silent Red switch, this one requires a slightly higher operating force of 60 cN. This means you will need to use more force for actuation.
The MX Silent Black switch has become more popular due to the increase in YouTube and streaming popularity.
The higher actuation force is more optimal for gaming, reducing the amount of accidental keypresses in high pressure situation. When making recordings or chatting online, it is crucial not the hear any keyboard feedback through the microphone.
If you don’t want a quiet membrane keyboard for this, the MX Silent Black switches are perfect for you.
In Summary The Cherry MX Clear Switches and keycaps are a perfect combo for anyone looking for a quality typing experience.
They’re premium quality and very aesthetically pleasing. There are tons of different keyboards that come with them built-in as well as cheaper alternatives you can buy overseas.
In addition, if you’re looking for even more silent switches, you can choose the Cherry MX Silent series Red or Black switches.
This way nothing will hinder your voice recordings and won’t annoy any co-workers or bystanders.

At the time, Ireland-born and New Zealand-raised Neill was new to Australia. He had made the move across the Tasman in the late '70s to guest star on The Sullivans, where he met and befriended Caton.
"I was a cherry-eyed innocent from abroad and Michael was an old hound," Neill recalls to 9Honey Celebrity ahead of Rams' release.
"You must have been about 20 years old. You were Uncle Harry?" he asks Caton, who replies, "I was Uncle Harry. I was Dave Sullivan's brother [played by Paul Cronin], so to all the kids, I was the uncle. But they made me up to look old and so for years afterwards, people said to me, 'You haven't aged a scrap.'"
There was no need to age 77-year-old Caton in the comedy-drama Rams. He and Neill, 73, embraced their maturity to play the respective roles of Les and Colin Grimurson in the Aussie film.
"Oh, I just reverted to type," jokes Caton of playing a grumpy old drunk in the film, the complete opposite to the beloved actor we've all grown to love. "The other is an act."
"We're both grumpy old men," Neill adds. "He's just darker and grumpier."
In the film, they portray estranged brothers who live on adjoining sheep farms. Les and Colin are like chalk and cheese and haven't spoken to each other in four decades. But after discovering a rare disease threatens their flock, they must join together to save their respective farms as well as their small town.
Filmed in the real-life Western Australia town of Mount Barker, Rams tells the beautiful yet complicated story about family and brotherhood, loyalty and community. The movie is an adaptation of the award-winning Icelandic film Hrútar, which won Best Film in Un Certain Regard at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.
So was there pressure to re-imagine the film for an Aussie audience?
"To a certain extent yes, because our locations were so different," Caton says. "But we changed the whole thing. I think there's probably a little bit of humour in ours in the second act. The first act is pretty well blow-for-blow, but the second act was quite different."
Neill agrees, telling 9Honey Celebrity, "I think it's considerably different, we're very different sort of characters and that's largely informed by what kind of actors we are. But also we're dealing in Australasian architecture.
"We don't know much about Iceland. I suppose people are people wherever you are, but I think it's been largely reimagined on a most obvious level — instead of ice and snow, you're talking about fire and drought. And those things impinge on the nature of the community."
Neill and Caton loved filming in the picturesque Mount Barker. The veteran stars both discovered hidden gems in the small town that boasts fewer than 2000 residents.
"A beautiful little place where people still actually make things," Neill says. "They manufacture supports for shearers. When you're shearing, it's really crook in your back. And someone in Mount Barker invented this belt that saves people's backs."
Caton adds that the clever folks in the region also invented shirts that were extra long in the back to adequately and modestly cover one's bottom while working on the farm.
"I could've done with a little more tail on my shirt in Peter Rabbit," says Neill, who unfortunately flashed his bottom while in character as Old Mr McGregor in the 2018 film. "I have to say that's a bum double. That's not my bottom on Peter Rabbit. I just have to clarify that."
Fortunately, there are no scenes of that nature in Rams.
Directed by Jeremy Sims — he won an AACTA for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2015 for Last Cab to Darwin, which starred Caton — Rams also stars Asher Keddie and Miranda Richardson.
"Asher is such a lovely, warm person and warm actress and is delightful to be on set with," Neill says. "I've worked with Miranda before in [1998 mini-series] Merlin and she played evil Queen Mab, so she was the antagonist in that one.
"But this one we were playing opposite each other, so that was a first. She's fantastic. She can do anything."
Although Neill and Caton are both now in their seventies, they are showing no signs of slowing down — and retirement isn't even on their radar.
"I can't afford to retire," jokes Caton, who will soon reprise his role in the Back to the Rafters reboot. "Whenever I'm between engagements, I refer to it as 'involuntary retirement.'"
Meanwhile, Neill is currently filming Jurassic World 3 and has three other projects in the pipeline.
"I wouldn't know what to do," he says. "I don't play golf. It would be boring to retire so I'll die on the job, I reckon."

A TEAM of My Journey travel advisers will be working with households in three areas of Andover this summer, providing information about alternative ways to make day to day journeys.
Residents living in more than 3,200 households in the Millway, Harroway and Charlton areas of the town will have the chance to talk to advisers about the different transport options available, such as bus, bicycle or walking.
Each resident will receive a tailored travel pack to suit their needs.
These will focus on how they can integrate cycling, walking and public transport into their daily routines and help cut their petrol bills, reduce their carbon footprint, improve their health or avoid congestion in their neighbourhood.
The travel packs, available in both digital and paper formats, include free maps, timetables and fare information showing how best to get around Andover on foot, by bicycle, or using public transport, as well as taster tickets for local bus services to encourage people to try the bus.
There are also opportunities to try cycling, with the chance to borrow a bike for five weeks.
Everyone who takes up this offer will be entered into a draw to win a £250 voucher towards the cost of a new bike.
There’s also free cycle training to those who haven’t been on a bike in a while to help build confidence and polish up their cycling skills.
During the programme, the team of travel advisers will also be at local events such as Andover Carnival on 20 July, providing advice on getting around Andover.

Students facing punishment after Virgin Mary statue shattered at University of St. Thomas
A numbers of students are facing punishment after a statue of the Virgin Mary was deliberately smashed at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul last week. That's according to President Julie Sullivan and Provost Richard Plumb, who issued a statement about the "religious vandalism" that occurred at the university's Ireland Hall student residence. The statue, which according to the statement has "stood in Ireland Hall for years," was moved and "ultimately purposefully dropped and shattered." "This statue holds great significance to our Catholic faith, which is the heart of this university," Sullivan and Plumb wrote. "The destroying of a holy object of any religion is a grave act of disrespect and is completely inconsistent with St. Thomas’ values and convictions." The students responsible were identified following an investigation and the release of emails "denouncing the act" that were sent to the student body. Source

We’ve had the privilege of dressing brides for over 76 years, and to offer Alfred Angelo brides a wedding gown inspired by royalty and one that captures this historic moment is very exciting.
Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) May 10, 2011
The wedding of the century, took place in London, England on April 29, 2011. Catherine Middleton married Prince William in a modern Royal ceremony.
The anticipation surrounding Catherine’s wedding dress reached fever pitch immediately preceding her arrival at Westminster Abbey. Catherine’s personal style has proven to be classic and refined. Her gown was nothing short of this, and one indicative of her character: strong yet feminine; revealing yet reverent; modern yet classic, but above all, regal. The gown has already been compared to another famous Princess, Grace Kelly’s, wedding gown.
Michele Piccione, owner and Chief Creative Officer of Alfred Angelo commented, “We’ve had the privilege of dressing brides for over 76 years, and to offer Alfred Angelo brides a wedding gown inspired by royalty and one that captures this historic moment is very exciting. Since my parents began the company in the 1930’s, we’ve dressed hundreds of thousands of brides in Alfred Angelo for their wedding day, not only in the US, but around the globe.”
Alfred Angelo’s royal-inspired wedding dress is an elegant reflection of Catherine Middleton’s personality. This unique variation illustrates Alfred Angelo’s signature combination of modern and traditional detailing.
Michael Shettel, VP of Design created the Alfred Angelo version and stated, “We know our brides will love the design and wear it feeling like princesses on their wedding day. It’s everything a bride wants from her bridal gown-elegance, beauty and affordability.”
The gown features a sheer, long-sleeved, lace-appliqué bodice with a dramatic Queen Anne neckline over a satin bodice with a sweetheart neckline. The grand pleated satin ball gown skirt has hand-placed floral lace medallions with a cascading back peplum, covered buttons, and cathedral train.
The gown is available in white and ivory, in sizes 0-30, in short, standard or extra length.
The gown retails for $999 USD, and will be available in all Alfred Angelo Signature stores, as well as select Alfred Angelo national and international retailers soon.
To get Catherine’s wedding day look before the official gown is in stores, brides can select from these Alfred Angelo styles: 1193, 811, 840, 847, and 848. To complement these gowns, add a cover-up jacket style: 1646, 1741, 2189, or 2193.
And, to get Catherine’s Buckingham Palace reception look, try Alfred Angelo Sapphire style 830, Alfred Angelo styles 2119 or 2212.

The Horrors are all about change. It wouldn’t be too wildly generalizing to notice that the Essex-based quintet has yet to release two albums that sound like they came from same band since their first LP, Strange House. Distinguishing themselves as genre tourists, they’ve trekked through the gothic, the shoegaze and the new wave. With their latest album, Luminous, the Horrors finally seem to have settled somewhere amid the realm of new wave psychedelica.
What this release lacks in distinction from the sounds of 2011’s Skying, it makes up for in consistency. But this eclectic scattering of influences throughout their previous record, from My Bloody Valentine to Blur to Gary Numan, added much to its relaxed likeability. On Luminous, the Horrors have finally begun trying to secure their very own sound, less referential and more self-reliant. But to this end, their album comes across as a laborious effort.
It starts with some foreshadowing on “Chasing Shadows.” Nonironic bongos back the build-up of chugging multilayered synths, finally dropping a decisive beat after three minutes. Once the song reaches full swing, this drop is actually fairly anticlimactic, led by throbbing drums, indiscernibly washed-out vocals and predictable melodies, with all else forming an opaque wall of sound.
While a pitfall of many other acts in their sonic vein, shooting for more whistleable melodies or riffs might have helped the Horrors. Their album’s most memorable songs, namely the slow-dancing “Change Your Mind” and the distorted “Jealous Sun,” show this plainly. Even the single “I See You” sounds like a great Horrors song until its outro dissolves into an almost four-minute jam-session of effects.
Luminous has terrific moments, but they’re overshadowed by the underwhelming, making the album better suited for playing in the background than for entertaining. Overall, it marks a misstep for a band marching so distinctly forward until now.

The wholesale and retall price of garlic registered a year-on-year increases of 90 percent and 67.9 percent respectively in October, fueling concerns of possible inflation. Li Pumin, secretary general of the National Development and Reform Commission, said the recent soaring garlic price was a result of waning production and speculation. Beijing Youth Daily commented on Monday:
What directly led to the recent hike in the price of garlic was the cold wave that swept across the regions that are home to most of the country's garlic production at the end of last year.
However, while the bad weather earlier this year was surely responsible for bringing an end to the rising prices of most vegetables during summer while that does not seem to have been the case for garlic, whose price surged 50 percent last month.
The truth is, it was the speculative hoarding, not demand-supply forces that pushed up the price of garlic.
Easy to store and transport, garlic has fallen victim to concerted speculation, with garlic hoarders intentionally withholding their supplies.
Price watchdogs at all levels are right to keep a close eye on any speculative moves to manipulate the price of garlic, as the implications of the surging garlic price go beyond the numbers and figures.
The consumer price index, the country's key inflation gauge, grew at its fastest pace in six months in October due to rising food prices. The producer price index, too, rose 1.2 percent year-on-year last month, putting an end to the negative growth over the preceding 54 months.
These changes may signal even higher inflation next year. It is time for all departments to make preemptive moves to keep that at bay.

Compare ExpressVPN via BesteVPN.nl
Best VPN ever! It's fast and has great features with a cool user interface.
Very easy to use. in my country many sites are blocked by ISP & I have tried several VPNs. but most satisfying is ExpressVPN. having installed 3 different versions of Chrome, I can select only 1 version of the chrome to use VPN, the other 2 chromes I use for work & Plex and don't need VPN. so very useful for me. Express should have socialized their upside more so that customers know their details. Oh also, download the app from android & app store to use vpn on phones, ipads, switch it on & off anytime i want.
Great VPN service! Very fast servers and never had any problem connecting to any one I wanted to. Using it on my phone and laptop.
An excellent service, never fails to connect and the ability to set automatic blocking of internet on dropped VPN connection is one of those little touches that makes me appreciate this service so much. The developers have really though things through from the user perspective. Can't think of any way to improve the current experience.
Best VPN Services
The app is really simple to use and has got an straight to the point design. They also have very good support for any queries that you might have and is very safe to use as they do not store any personal data and your usage is fully encrypted too! A whole package, just wish u can purchase in INR rather than having to go through conversion rates and additional costs.
Fast and reliable VPN. Wide selection of servers, great privacy features, fast average speeds and stable connection. The apps for Windows/Mac/iOS work flawlessly. Price might be slightly higher than some competitors but you get what you pay for. Highly recommended.
tanks for it vpn very good
I have been with Express VPN now for a number of years. I have tried other VPN providers previously and was not happy with them. Express VPN comes at a competitive price, they provide a secure and stable service, also provide great online support if you ever need it. People say they can get free VPNs or ones cheaper, remember you only get what you pay for. I highly recommend Express VPN
keep up the good work team express

The video also gives us our first look at some of the Pixel 5’s new features in action.
What you need to know
- A detailed Pixel 5 hands-on video has been posted by YouTuber totallydubbedHD.
- The video compares the Pixel 5’s camera against the Samsung Galaxy S10+ and shows off some of the phone’s other key features in action.
- The phone will begin shipping in the U.S. on October 29.
Google’s Pixel 5, which went official alongside the Pixel 4a 5G earlier this week, won’t be going on sale in the U.S. until October 29. However, YouTuber totallydubbedHD managed to get his hands on the phone early and has posted a detailed first look video, complete with 5G benchmarks and camera tests.
Instagram stories posted by the YouTuber reveal the Pixel 5 comes with Google Camera v7.6, which is a newer version compared to v7.5 that is available on other Pixel phones currently. It adds a new shutter button and a few other minor UI tweaks. More importantly, Google Camera v7.6 comes with a new “audio zoom” feature, which is similar to the Zoom-In Mic feature that has been available on flagship Samsung phones since last year.
Aside from giving us a look at the new camera features, totallydubbedHD also compares the Pixel 5’s camera against the Samsung Galaxy S10+. Just as expected, the Pixel 5 produces photos that look a lot more true-to-life than the ones taken by the Galaxy S10+. Google’s Pixel phones have always been extremely impressive in terms of camera performance, so the results aren’t surprising.
Google Pixel 5
Google’s new Pixel 5 may not have bleeding-edge specs across the board, but it promises to deliver a fantastic user experience. It also has a premium aluminum unibody design, a 90Hz screen, big battery, and Qi wireless charging.

Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Old Trafford early was unacceptable, says Erik ten Hag
On the eve of the Premier League, the new Manchester United manager has been left with a big decision to make over the team’s biggest star.
Erik Ten Hag has torn into Cristiano Ronaldo and some of his teammates after they left Manchester United’s friendly on Sunday against Rayo Vallecano before the final whistle.
Ten Hag also warned the Portugal forward that he must prove his fitness and worth to the team before he is considered for selection in the Premier League.
The new United manager, 52, described Ronaldo, who this summer asked to leave the club as he wants to play in the Champions League, as a “fantastic football player” but made it clear he was unhappy with the 37-year-old’s exit ten minutes before the end of the 1-1 draw.
Diogo Dalot was among a number of other players who left Old Trafford early, which infuriated Ten Hag.
“There were a lot more who went home [early],” Ten Hag told the Dutch broadcaster Viaplay when asked about Ronaldo’s early departure.
“I definitely do not condone what happened. It’s unacceptable. For everybody. I told them that it’s unacceptable, that we are a team, and you have to stay until the end.”
When asked whether any of the players had been fined, a United source said that it was an internal disciplinary issue.
The former United captain Gary Neville said: “It’s unpalatable for me when the star player in the dressing room is playing up. There were times over the past few years where Paul Pogba’s agent was playing up. You can’t have your star player in a club running the shop.”
The episode is an unwelcome distraction for Ten Hag given that the club’s league campaign begins on Sunday. It comes at a difficult time for the club with Chelsea emerging as frontrunners to sign Frenkie de Jong, a key United target, from Barcelona.
The midfielder appears to favour a move to London and the prospect of playing in the Champions League. The 25-year-old, who is owed about pounds 17 million in salary that was deferred due to a wage cut during the pandemic, is reluctant to move to United, where he would play in the Europa League, handing Chelsea a big advantage.
Sunday’s game was Ronaldo’s first and only appearance of pre-season. He was missing from the 2 and a half week tour to Thailand and Australia due to personal circumstances.
Speaking on Saturday, Ten Hag said that Ronaldo was “definitely not on the level of our squad players at this moment because he misses a lot of weeks. He needs games and a lot of training”.
It seems logical therefore that Ronaldo will not start Sunday’s league opener against Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford. Ten Hag is, though, planning for Ronaldo to stay at United and insisted yesterday (Wednesday) in an interview with Sky Sports that Ronaldo can adapt to his pressing style.
“I think he can [fit into the style of play],” Ten Hag said. “But to start with, he has to get fit. He just started [training] and he is a fantastic football player – he proved it so many times – but you are always judged by what you are now, what you are presenting now, and [how you] are performing now, so Cristiano, by himself, has to prove it.”
Ten Hag stressed the need for unity at the weekend by telling all of his players that they must report to Old Trafford on Sunday to watch the Rayo game, even though many of them had been playing 24 hours earlier in another friendly against Atletico Madrid in Oslo, Norway. The squad were also told that they must eat together on Sunday afternoon before the Rayo game.
Five days earlier, Ronaldo and his agent, Jorge Mendes, had reiterated that the player wanted to leave United during a meeting with club officials at the Carrington training ground. Ronaldo, who was United’s top scorer last season with 24 goals in all competitions, has one year left on his contract, but the club can extend the deal by one year.
Few clubs can afford to pay Ronaldo’s pounds 500,000-per-week wage. Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich and Chelsea have all distanced themselves from a possible transfer in recent weeks.
Ronaldo recently rubbished claims that he was going to return to Sporting Lisbon, where he began his career. The only serious offer on the table is from an unnamed Saudi Arabian club, who have offered him a contract worth more than pounds 2 million a week.
Ten Hag, meanwhile, appealed for calm even though United have signed only three players this summer: the former Tottenham Hotspur playmaker Christian Eriksen, 30, the right back Tyrell Malacia, 22, and the centre back Lisandro Martinez, 24.
“We know what we want, and it’s not about signing players, it’s about signing the right players,” Ten Hag said.
“We are planning it carefully and we are strict to that – we are working hard to get the right players in to construct a good squad, who can win games.”
When asked for a comment regarding De Jong’s preference to play for Chelsea over United, Ten Hag said: “I can’t talk about that. I don’t talk about a player who is not under contract at Manchester United.”

This particular billboard is displayed in my town, and it always gets my attention when I drive by. So I decided to blog my thoughts since that’s what bloggers do.
Look, I think Fatherhood.gov is an important project and has some great family resources. There is a lot of great information and wonderful programs mentioned on that website. My complaint is specifically about the take time to be a dad today billboard, and about the “reminders” for fathers to be dads. The message and takeaway of these take time to be a dad Fatherhood gov commercial and never stop being a dad billboard convey that we have a serious problem with absentee dads.
It saddens me that we live in a world where men need to be reminded to be dads. It breaks my heart that we live in a society filled with the kind of people that would father a child and then disappear. That is one extreme, yes, but we do have a lot of single moms where the father is not involved in the child’s life at all. Then there are the situations where the father is around but works so much (or just does not come home often) that he never sees his children and family. Being a parent is the single most important job someone can have, mother or father – both need to realize this and do right by their children.
It shocks me every time people show surprise at how active my husband has been in our child’s life. That with his schedule of working four 10-hour days, he was the one able to take our baby to every weekly physical therapy appointment and DOC band check-up when he was just a wee little one. I certainly couldn’t – I worked full time and had just come off maternity leave so had zero time off. So I am to understand that kind of involvement is as rare as a magical unicorn? Because it isn’t – shouldn’t be at least.
I guess based on this message, I am very grateful to have my wonderful husband and father to my child, and to have been raised by my own great dad as well. Apparently, that is just not the norm, and that makes me sad. It makes me sad for society as a whole, and it makes me sad for the message we are sending our own children about the world around them. Fathers shouldn’t have to be reminded to take the time to be dads, just as mothers shouldn’t have to be reminded the same. Taking time to nurture our children is something that should be immediately engrained in our minds from the moment we become parents.
Have you seen these be a dad commercial billboards? What do you think?

For the last time in Season 8 of the Intel Extreme Masters we've gathered a cast of commentators who we're sure, will bring you the highest quality of commentary and guidance throughout the $100,000 Winner Takes All Intel Extreme Masters World Championship, which is set to run from March 13th to the 16th.
To conclude the season we're bringing back all your favourite commentators, who have accompanied the World's Best Gamers over the last year. Our very own James "Kaelaris" Carrol and Shaun "Apollo" Clark will once again be joined by French pro player and commentator Yoan "ToD" Merlo, while Team Liquid's Zerg player Jos "Ret" de Kroon will also make a reappearance. During his Intel Extreme Masters commentary debut at our last stop, Intel Extreme Masters Cologne in February he convinced with his top-notch commentary and in-depth knowledge of the game, and we're glad to be welcoming him back.
Two very well known names will be finalizing our commentary line-up for Katowice.
Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski, perhaps best known for his analysis of the Korean pro scene and commentary on the GSL will be returning to commentate the Intel Extreme Masters World Championship, having last joined us all the way back in 2012 at Intel Extreme Masters Singapore.
Artosis will be joined by fellow countryman Geoff "iNcontroL" Robinson, who has in the recent years made a name for himself not only as a player and the public face of the Evil Geniuses, but also as a great host and StarCraft II commentator.
Meanwhile, hosting the show on the big stage in Katowice, Poland from March the 14th to the 16th will be none other than ESL TV's own Paul "ReDeYe" Chaloner, with all observing coming from French Intel Extreme Masters Cologne Observer Alexandre "FunKaDeliC" Verrier.
We hope to see you join us for our broadcast on ESL TV as we run the Open Bracket on March 13th, broadcast fromt he ESL TV Studios by iNcontroL and Ret, and then the main tournament starting on March 14th live from Spodek in Katowice, Poland.

Normally I don’t get worked up about price increases, tax increases, and overall cost of living, but lately it seems that any excuse will do to raise prices. One week I put gas in my car on Sunday for $3.58 per gallon. By Tuesday of the same week, prices had risen at another gas station to $3.85. Remember the good old days in 2009 when a gallon of regular gas was $2.35? I think I will invest in a bicycle.
Realizing that the cost of living goes up at a natural pace, I decided to do a little digging. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 16 years ago, in 1995, white bread was $0.85 a loaf, ground chuck was $1.85 per pound, and a dozen eggs was $1.16. As for 2009, the most recent year there is data available, white bread was $1.39, ground chuck was $2.19 per pound, and a dozen eggs was $1.77. Those numbers might not seem too significant, but thankfully they are better than 2008 when white bread was $1.42, ground chuck was $2.41, and a dozen eggs was $1.83. It seems as though perhaps the economy is improving.
Regular gas prices did the same spike and drop between 2008 and 2009. In 2008, the price for a gallon of regular gasoline averaged $3.27 and premium rang in at $3.52. The difference between those numbers and 2009 was a decrease of $0.92 and $0.91 respectively.
What does it all mean? Not much really. The numbers and prices of food and commodities have gone up and down for the past 100 years. Likely they will go up and down for the next 100 years. Well, we can at least hope they go down. In the meantime, it is important to guard your bottom line, continue to operate in a conservative mode, and don’t get caught splurging on an SUV when a compact car will do. Otherwise, you just might have to borrow my bicycle.

Victoria proves that falafels can be versatile, easy and inexpensive to make - in this recipe she adds sweet potatoes, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper to make this dish packed with flavour.
These deep fried spicy patties can be enjoyed by everyone, from vegans and the gluten intolerant to the meat-eating masses, like me. These ones have the extra interest of sweet potato, which, aside from adding a pleasant flavour boost, also keeps the falafel mixture deliciously moist.
Falafels are having something of a renaissance of late. No longer the preserve of vegetarians, everyone wants in on the action. You can find all sorts of exciting variations, often involving root vegetables, from carrots and squashes to beetroots or even parsnip and ginger. Who said you shouldn’t play with your food?
Falafels can be dull if not given the right care and respect. Chickpeas, although nutty and full of vegetable protein, are not going to set the world on fire in the flavour stakes. At least, not without a little help. I know 5 cloves of garlic sounds like a lot, but trust me on this one, falafels, like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, need a lot of garlic to stand up for themselves. Herbs and spices too, should not be skimped on, especially if, like me, you have an aversion to bland food. It’s definitely advisable to fry off a teaspoon of the mixture to taste for seasoning, before committing to cooking the whole lot.
And a whole lot there certainly is. Falafels are cheap as chips to make and a single tin of chickpeas can be enough to feed the 5,000. Well, eight or nine people at least. You can easily make them a little bigger and pat them down to make hearty veggie burgers, or make them mini to turn them into canapés. Tasty and economical, a good falafel recipe should be in everyone’s repertoire.
I like to serve them with a simple tahini sauce made of light tahini, lemon juice, a little crushed garlic, salt and pepper and enough water until it’s about the consistency of pouring cream. Just mix it all up and taste for zest and seasoning, before drizzling it over your falafels.
Sweet Potato Falafels
½ a tin of chickpeas, drained
125g podded broad beans, or more chickpeas
5 cloves of garlic, crushed
5 spring onions, finely chopped
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground coriander
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
½ tsp. allspice
½ tsp. cayenne pepper
A thumb of ginger, grated
A generous handful of fresh coriander, finely chopped
A generous handful of flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
A small bunch of mint, finely chopped
1 level tsp. baking powder
The zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp. salt
A generous grind of black pepper
2 tbsp. gram flour
125g peeled sweet potato, finely grated
Sunflower oil, for frying
Simply bung all of the ingredients, except for the sweet potato, into a food processor and blitz until fairly smooth, with a few nubbly bits still left in. Fold through the sweet potato until fully incorporated. Decant the mixture into a bowl, cover in cling film and pop the mixture in the fridge for an hour or two to chill.
Roll the mixture into balls between your hands, each about the size of a golf ball.
Heat the oil in a wide and heavy bottomed saucepan/skillet until it reaches 180˚C/350˚F, or until a breadcrumb thrown into the oil immediately sizzles. Carefully lower the falafels into the oil with a slotted spoon. Leave for about a minute before turning over. Once the falafels are a rich golden brown all over, carefully remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon and leave to drain on kitchen paper.
Serve with salad leaves and tahini sauce, in or out of a toasted pitta bread pocket (gluten free pittas are available in most supermarkets).
If you're interested in cooking more vegetarian dishes, visit Great British Chefs for more vegetarian recipes.
I used a 400g tin of chickpeas, which has a drained weight of 240g. Hope that helps...
15 July 2014
What size tin of chickpeas are you using? Around me there are 3 different sizes.

I\’m using tripods and timers and intervalometers to capture myself in the shot. Here are some favorites from this week.
I wanted to capture the routine of tying Quinn\’s belt for TKD and we got a surprise ambush.
We had to do a smiling self portrait. Not so easy but I\’m happy with the way it came out. I wanted to capture the cast too because it is currently part of my story and hopefully comes off tomorrow.

Termistop flanges and blockouts are designed to give PCO’s
a non-chemical, long-lasting termite protection at the service penetrations through the slab. Once installed, Termistop eliminates these hidden termite entry points because the mesh is too small to squeeze through and too hard to chew through. Termistop stops termites in their tracks. PERIOD!
Termistop is International Code Council approved for new construction, has completed 9 years of USDA Forestry Service Testing with no failures, and recognized by Green Building Industry professionals. Termistop is designed to eliminate the need for chemical retreatments in the interior of the home, giving homeowners a termiticide-free living area.
Termistop flanges and blockouts are designed to give PCO’s a non-chemical, long lasting termite protection at the service penetrations through the slab.
Why Do I Need It?
By nature, concrete slabs set, shrink, expand and create gaps between utility pipe penetrations and the concrete itself—gaps large enough for termite entry. Termites commonly use such piping as direct highways right into homes or structures.
And often, termites that enter homes through these areas go undetected longer which enables them to do far more damage before being discovered. This damage can lead to repair bills in the thousands!
Green Building Benefits
Termistop Flanges and Blockouts are a non-chemical solution that prevents termites from entering the home at the service penetrations through the slab. The stainless-steel mesh creates a “physical barrier” to termite entry when it “keys” into the concrete. By addressing these areas during construction with Termistop flanges and blockouts, PCO’s reduce the need to apply chemical termiticides within the living space of the building.
Many green building programs around the country emphasize the use of physical barriers and non-chemical termite solutions. Termistop qualifies as a physical barrier in many of these programs and will capture points for the builder in some of the green building rating systems.
Termistop and the full Termimesh system have been specified in many high-profile green building projects around the United States in both residential and commercial construction. Listen to what one of the premier green building architects in the nation has to say about the product. For more information visit www.termistopusa.com.

If you’ve been following along from the beginning, you have now learned how to grow your email list to epic proportions, you’ve segmented your list so that your emails are highly relevant to each individual subscriber, and you’ve learned how to send amazingly effective emails that have a high open-rate. Now you are ready to automate the process and turn your campaigns into money-making machines!
Thank you for this great roundup of tips regarding marketing emails. I especially appreciate your mention of tracking emails so you can continually improve your strategies, including an above the fold call to action so customers know exactly what to do next, and most of all making sure you have a solid (not necessarily huge) email list. Reaching out to those you know may be interested in your company and what it has to offer is always going to garner you the best results. I would also love to add that focusing on the customer, proofreading your email, and making the email conversational are other excellent tips for making your sales emails stand out and actually get read. Thanks again for sharing!
One hundred years ago, companies such as Sears, Roebuck & Co. and J.C. Penny Co. used customer data to send out catalogs and mailers. Back then, the companies possessed small sets of data, mainly names and addresses of customers. Now, marketers have mountains of complex data and are faced with a modern conundrum: How much personal data is too much to incorporate into the content?
A web-based interface is often available to allow people to subscribe, unsubscribe, and change their preferences. However, mailing list servers existed long before the World Wide Web, so most also accept commands over email to a special email address. This allows subscribers (or those who want to be subscribers) to perform such tasks as subscribing and unsubscribing, temporarily halting the sending of messages to them, or changing available preferences - all via email. The common format for sending these commands is to send an email that contains simply the command followed by the name of the electronic mailing list the command pertains to. Examples: subscribe anylist or subscribe anylist John Doe.
You want to have a single purpose for your direct mail piece. Often times the goal of a direct mail campaign is to get the recipient to buy a product or use a service. Other goals can be to send people to your website, get people to enter a contest, or let people know about an upcoming event. Knowing your goal will help you formulate what you want the direct mail piece to say. You also need to consider what the recipient stands to gain from the letter.
The fact is, a significant percentage of millennials like mail. It has a built-in emotional response factor. Gallup reported that 36% of people under the age of 30 look forward to checking their mailboxes every day. What’s more, 95% of 18-to-29-year-olds have a positive response to receiving personal cards and letters. Notably this generation will wield a combined $1.4 trillion in spending power by 2020, as reported by Accenture.
Scammers can take advantage of consumers' difficulties verifying an online persona's identity,:1 leading to artifices like phishing (where scam emails look identical to those from a well-known brand owner) and confidence schemes like the Nigerian "419" scam. The Internet Crime Complaint Center received 289,874 complaints in 2012, totaling over half a billion dollars in losses, most of which originated with scam ads.
Publishers can offer advertisers the ability to reach customizable and narrow market segments for targeted advertising. Online advertising may use geo-targeting to display relevant advertisements to the user's geography. Advertisers can customize each individual ad to a particular user based on the user's previous preferences. Advertisers can also track whether a visitor has already seen a particular ad in order to reduce unwanted repetitious exposures and provide adequate time gaps between exposures.

With the fluctuation of the stock market, one can, and many have
lost their shirts, so to speak. It’s always risky business to place your money
in the hands of someone else and trust them to bring you a great return. Jesus knew how precious our belongings and money could become, especially when he told the rich man to rid himself of all his possessions.
Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be complete (perfect), go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." (Matthew 19:21)
Are Your Belongings Ruling You?
How attached to “stuff” are you? Does possessing all your material gain and riches bring comfort? I would beg to say that this is not the case, as we see here with this rich man. Jesus could have easily said “Money can’t buy you love. If you are in need of God’s love, you need to prioritize your desires.” Jesus saw through this man’s piety when the rich man said that he had kept all of the commandments from his youth. Here it is important to note that a commandment keeper is not necessarily a Jesus follower.
I commend this young rich man for this that he had kept the commandments. Anyone of us knows how difficult it is to keep the commandments or the laws of God, so I know that his fortitude in keeping God’s law was something well accomplished, yet Jesus requested more. You see, he was known as the rich young ruler, when in fact, his
riches were ruling him.
Jesus was able to see that the man’s motives that helped him attain such riches, were wrong. He desired the young man to be attached to Him, to follow Him, and to lose his attachment for the things of this world. If the things we possess rule us, then we are in the same predicament. Have you found yourself attached to your stuff and not attached to our Master and Lord Jesus Christ?
Breaking Off Our Attachment To Earthly Gain
How do we break off our attachment to earthly gain? We consider all that we have as belonging to Christ. The owner of the donkey and colt must have understood this principle, as the disciples came to get them.
“Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” (Matthew 21:2-3)
And so it came to pass, as this is part of the resurrection story, where Jesus then enters Jerusalem riding a donkey and colt, as prophesied in Zechariah 9:9. Days later he is crucified.
As we remember this time of the year, the Lord’s death and resurrection, let us remember also that nothing is more important than following our Lord. That our material gain cannot get us into heaven. We must learn not to invest our treasures where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. How do we do this? By surrendering our belongings, our lives, our heart and spirit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Had the young rich ruler understood fully what Jesus was saying, he may not have turned away so troubled.
How You Can Be Made Complete
If the Lord came to your home today in need of something that you possess, would you be willing to give it to Him, no strings attached? Let us take a moment during this very hallowed season to reflect on the greatest treasure ever given to man----Jesus, the Son of God, and His blood that took away our sin. Let us lay up our treasures in a place where our investment will yield high returns so that we too may be complete.

The variety was selected in the field as a seedling in 1994 at Wieringermeer, the Netherlands. A phenotypic recurrent selection technique was utilized in its development. An intensive selection process of more than six years was used to identify the variety. Selection criteria included maturity, yield, disease resistance, processing traits, morphological traits and storage characters.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Tebina' were conducted during the summer of 2010 in Drummond, New Brunswick. Plots consisted of one row with a row length of 18.5 meters and a row spacing of 90 cm. Plants were spaced 30 cm apart within the row. There were 60 plants per variety in the trial. Measured characteristics were based on ten measurements.

text: Economics of PM has three levels of view. The top level can be called macro economic analysis. In this type of view, the company determines if PM approaches seem sensible at all considering the organization’s goals and the needs and requirements of the business or field. To make that decision an organization would go through the current costs of operation. For a better term you should use semi-micro view for the second level. This view decides what strategy is best suited for a particular machine or group of machines. The third view is task view or micro view. In this view, the price and impact of each task is compared to the price and impact of the failure mode the work is attempting to prevent.
