Drug and alcohol addiction is a growing concern in the present times. The constant pressure and the lack of social bonding with friends and family, pushes a person to addiction. Drug addiction is a mental disease and it should be treated properly in order to save the person from addiction and prevent a relapse. The services of a drug rehab help the patients and their family members to fight with addiction.
There are a lot of rehab centers offering various programs that treat different addictions. Choosing a perfect Luxury Rehab Facility for your loved ones may seem to be a daunting task. Here are some top tips on how to choose a rehab:
- The type of result expected from the rehab program. The rehab centers have different yardsticks to measure their success. Some centers consider the completion of the 28 days in the program as a success, while others measure success rate by the abstinence rate from the drug. The family should decide what type of result they expect from the program and find a suitable center.
- The duration of the program is another important point to consider. Most of the centers offer a 28day de-addiction program. While this may help to some extent, an ideal program should last much longer. The treatment should be on a long term basis until the patient learns to carry on his regular life without taking the drugs.
- The method of treatment used at the Luxury Rehab Facility is another important pointer to make the decision. Find out if the rehab center uses other drugs which are equally harmful to treat the addiction. An ideal center should focus on improving the overall health of the patient, to fight the symptoms of distress and withdrawal rather than using other drugs to fight them.
- The rehab program should help a patient to learn the life skills that help him to stay away from drugs and alcohol. The program must encourage the patients to form support groups to discuss their problems with each other and identify ways to deal with them.
An ideal Luxury Rehab Facility should match your requirements in the above criterion. This will assure you that your loved one is receiving proper treatment and will soon recover from addiction.


Lusaka street vendors let loose…LCC assures that there will be no more harassment of the vendors
Written by Millennium on July 9, 2019
SANFROSSA MANYINDA writes
STREET vendors in Lusaka are free to trade without harassment from the Lusaka City Council, says Deputy Mayor Chilando Chitangala.
Mr Chitangala said that despite having difficulties in keeping the city clean there will be no more harassment of street vendors.
He said that the council had received a number of complaints about vendors being harassed, the situation she said was unfortunate.
Ms. Chitangala said that the council would find other means of managing the situation unlike confiscating goods from the vendors and taking them to court.
She said however that the council would instead keep going round and removing them from the wrong places that they would be trading from.
“We will manage that and I can assure you that there will be no harassment of any sort. We have also heard of hawkers coming on board but we do not issue licenses for them because we will not manage them,” she said.
She said that the council was also in talks with PF so that the issue that had always been a huge challenge could be resolved once and for all.
Ms. Chitangala admitted that street vending was becoming a problem for the council and that it had received a lot of complaints from the party wanting the vendors to be given trading places.
She said that the council would ensure that it found alternative trading places for them and ensure that they did not come back anywhere near town.
She however expressed displeasure that most vendors had abandoned Tokyo and Lumumba markets and slowly going back to the streets.
She said that this made it very difficult for the council to keep the city clean and create parking spaces for people working within town.
She also said that Simon Mwewa Market that will accommodate more than 4,000 vendors was at 90 percent completion.

You might soon notice higher numbers of more realistic food photos on your social media feeds as influencers respond to feedback from their audiences.
DMA Solutions, a Dallas-based marketing firm, noted in its new trends report that influencers are hearing that people are growing weary of “perfect food.”
That impression tracks with a broader trend of consumers seeking authenticity from those they follow for information, from bloggers to companies themselves.
In the interest of making their food photos more relatable, influencers have a few strategies in mind, per the DMA trends report.
The most intuitive is to style food so that it is aesthetically pleasing but realistic. People want to know what the recipe will actually look like if they try to replicate it.
Another way to make images more relatable is to cut back on props — and instead using fruits and vegetables to add color.
Influencers also told DMA that videos can be useful in giving people confidence that they can create the recipe being described.
One more idea for 2019 is to dispense with melodramatic, dark photos in favor of bright, fun shots.
DMA also projects that movement shots will be a trend this year.
“No more simply flat-lays in 2019: to get their taste buds going, viewers want drizzles, drips and dustings caught in motion at just the right time,” the firm wrote in its report. “Lackluster photography won’t earn brands any likes or momentum this year, so make the commitment to generate new or updated photography and content ... or risk your brand getting left behind.”

I’ve read the claim that the size of Americans vocabulary has shrunk over the years. Its been pointed out that the works of Shakespeare prove that the average Joe of today uses a lot fewer words than the average Joe of Shakespeare’s time. I have since read many articles disputing this. Its true that a lot of words that Shakespeare used back in his day are not understood by modern people. Still dissenters say that there are lots of new words in our vocabularies describing things that didn’t exist back in Shakespeare’s time so this makes up for the loss.
The thing is, apparently modern textbook publishers and even newspaper and magazine publishers have reduced the number of words that they choose to use. In fact, they often dumb down material to the lowest common denominator deliberately. It started because there was a realization in the 1900’s that many people don’t use a lot of words in their everyday lives.
Science has shown more recently that humans have, essentially, two vocabularies. The one that they recognize and the one that they use. The vocabulary they use is often a lot smaller than the vocabulary they know or can recognize. It’s not a bad thing: it’s just easier to use a ‘good enough’ word than to try to dig at the back of the brain for a more precise one most of the time. Most of the time it’s not important to use the ‘perfect’ word. Still just because a person doesn’t use a word does not make it impossible or unimportant for them to be able to recognize it or know it. So this dumbing down of media has perhaps had some unintended consequences. Children are growing up not exposed to complex words and often don’t know what those words mean. It is often pointed to as a reason that our modern person has a smaller vocabulary. I can’t say for certain that it is true but I think that it had definitely led to people being uncomfortable with words that they don’t recognize. People often look at me as if I have two heads when I use a word that they don’t know the meaning of.
As a writer I wonder if this reduction of words will be a deciding factor in if an article I submit will be chosen or not. And if publishers are rejecting books or articles that I would enjoy because the author chose too many ‘complicated’ words. I would hope not but I do notice in the self published novels I read on my kindle that there are often words I don’t recognize. I always find this exciting and often look the words up, as it is so easy to do on the electronic reader. I have not noticed the same number of unknown words in traditionally published works but that is simply a personal observation and might be totally biased.
To take away the option to encounter words seems wrong to me. We need words to help us acknowledge our feelings and understand our world, because without them our feelings can overwhelm us and we can’t think things through properly. As far as I can tell, as long as we keep enough words available to describe our interior and exterior life, we will be okay. Removing words from our commons because they are ‘too complex’ is like saying “math is hard for kids so we shouldn’t teach it.” It’s an awful lot like censorship.
Still its hard to prove that our vocabularies have shrunk, or that the reduction of words in mass media has had a harmful effect. It might be something to keep an eye on however.

Tonight I have the great honor of kicking off Jason Moran's Fats Waller Dance Party with an hour long deejay set at the SFJAZZ Center. This won't be your "typical" Fats Waller tribute show, with Moran breaking down melodies and riffs from Fats Waller's swinging songbook and twisting them into full-on funky dance grooves. Moran, who will be wearing a giant sized paper mache mask of Fats Waller (shown in the photo above), will be backed by a solid group that includes renowned bassist and vocalist Meshell Ndegeocello. I will be opening the night with a set full of funky Afro grooves (as requested by Moran) that will surely get the place warmed up before Moran, Ndegeocello and company turn the SFJAZZ Center into a 700 person night club. Should be a memorable performance!

Oil initiative survives
A Santa Barbara County judge has invalidated a part of Venoco’s ballot initiative to approve slant drilling a site in Carpinteria into a lease offshore.
Earlier this year, Venoco filed papers for a Carpinteria ballot initiative for its Paredon project, which would use an onshore rig to tap an estimated 20 million barrels of offshore reserves on one of the firm’s leases over about 15 years. The initiative would bypass the Carpinteria City Council and Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors to put the project in line for approval from the State Lands Commission. In exchange for Carpinteria voters’ approval, Venoco would donate $1 million a year for the first five years of the project to the Carpinteria Education Foundation and give about 22 acres of the company’s land to the city. But the city filed suit to block the ballot measure, asking a judge to determine its legality. The city argued that the initiative violated the state constitution by giving administrative powers to the voters.
Judge Thomas P. Anderle did not agree completely. He ruled that the initiative did improperly take some of the city’s police powers but that Venoco could recirculate a revised petition for a new initiative later this fall, unless the city appeals the decision.

An investigation has been launched after the death of Jaydon Chavez-Silver in Albuquerque, New Mexico, last month
An investigation has been launched after a 911 dispatcher allegedly hung up on a woman asking for help after her friend was shot.
In an audio recording released Monday, an Albuquerque Fire Department dispatcher can be heard hanging up on a caller after she cursed on the phone while talking to him.
In the call, a woman can be heard telling the dispatcher that Jaydon Chavez-Silver was not breathing after he was struck in a drive-by shooting at a party on June 26.
When the dispatcher asked again if Jaydon was breathing, the caller replied, “He’s barely breathing. How many times do I have to f—ing tell you?”
The dispatcher then responded, “Okay, you know what, ma’am? You can deal with it yourself. I’m not going to deal with this, okay.”
“No, he’s going to die,” the woman replied as the call ended.
Chavez-Silver, 17, later died at a local hospital.
Fire Department Chief David Downey identified the dispatcher as Matthew Sanchez, according to NBC News. Sanchez has been placed on administrative assignment, and an internal investigation has been launched.
“We heard rumors about the 911 operator hanging up on the caller when Jaydon was shot but had no other information,” Jaydon’s mother, Nicole Chavez, said in a statement to KOB4. “After hearing the call today, it is heartbreaking to listen to. Right now, we just want to find the people responsible for this violent, deadly crime.”
Police have not made any arrests in the case, Albuquerque police said Tuesday.

The fate of indebted Eurocom Communications appeared to be in the hands of Israel Discount Bank Wednesday as Naty Saidoff, the lead contender to buy the company that controls Bezeq, said he would not agree to any delays in the decision-making process.
In marathon talks overnight Tuesday, Saidoff improved the cash portion of his offer by adding 25 million shekels ($7.3 million), for a total of 400 million shekels. In Tel Aviv District Court Judge Eitan Orenstein’s courtroom Wednesday, Saidoff’s lawyers said he wanted a quick decision on Eurocom’s fate.
Rejecting a request by Eurocom lawyers to hold off for 30 days on closing any deal, Amir Bartov, Saidoff’s attorney, said, “If there isn’t a creditors’ meeting to approve a deal by February 7, we’re dropping out.”
The bank creditors of Eurocom Communications, which are owed a combined 1.2 billion shekels, agreed that Saidoff’s and two other bids should be considered by bank management as soon as possible.
The other two bids are from Eduardo Elsztain’s IDB Group and from brothers Chen and Tzahi Neuman through their closely held Alon Group. The winner will get control of Bezeq, Israel’s biggest telecommunications company, which Eurocom controls through a string of intermediary companies.
- The Rise (And Possible Fall) of Israel's Telecom Titan
- American-Israeli to Buy Eurocom, Which Controls Bezeq
- Three-way Battle for Control of Bezeq Gets Underway
Among the bank creditors, Bank Hapoalim and First International Bank of Israel reported support Saidoff, on the assumption that Elsztain’s bid will encounter antitrust problems because IDB Group controls Cellcom Israel, Israel’s biggest mobile carrier and a Bezeq competitor.
Meanwhile, they regard the Neumann bid as speculative and not a serious third option.
Bank Discount lawyer Amnon Lorch gave the court a confusing statement Wednesday on the bank’s position. It was understood to mean the bank didn’t support Saidoff. On the other hand, Saidoff’s representatives said they were under the impression that Discount did support the bid.
Discount Bank’s New York branch does considerable business with Saidoff, who controls a Los Angeles-based property empire, but it also has close ties with Elsztain’s IDB group. Sources close to Elsztain and Discount denied he was putting pressure on the bank to support his Eurocom bid.
Discount, whose 480 million shekels in loans to Eurocom Communications make it the company’s biggest creditor, had been trying for weeks to find other bidders, which yielded the Neuman bid. Sources said its options were to approve Saidoff, continue the search for alternatives or propose selling off Eurocom’s assets piecemeal.
Any delay, however, increases the risk that the creditors of Eurocom Real Estate, a sister company to Eurocom Communications, will act unilaterally if the Eurocom Communications bailout does not address the issue of the 250 million shekels owed to them.


Samsung’s new triple-camera setup on the Galaxy S10 and S10+ is one of the key selling points of the handset. DxOMark thinks the same as well. With an overall score is 109, the two devices in fact, match the Mate 20 Pro and the P20 Pro.
The photo and video scores of the Galaxy S10+ are 114 and 98, respectively, same with the Mate 20 Pro and P20 Pro’s camera scores. However, where the Galaxy S10+ excels is the selfie department. In fact, the selfie score of the Galaxy S10+ takes the lead with the Note 9 following closely behind along with the Pixel 3.
The Galaxy S10+’s camera appears to have good wide dynamic range, good exposure, accurate color reproduction, and convincing bokeh simulation. The recording capabilities also stand out with smooth framing and image stabilization.
While not perfect, it seems like the Galaxy S10 and S10+ are the phones to beat for camera performance in 2019.

Yesterday I went to a symposium at UC Davis that was the launching of a new partnership between UC Davis and the Mars Corporation. I note – I have been collaborating with some people at Mars on multiple microbiome related projects and generally have had great interactions with the people there. I am not directly involved in the planning for this new partnership between UC Davis and Mars and thus I was interested in hearing more about it at the symposium.
The symposium was at the Mondavi Center on UC Davis campus and I zipped in on my bike through the cold (for Davis) air and got there just before they opened the doors to the main theater. I saw a few folks I knew milling around in the lobby and said hello and then went inside with some people from my lab for the “show”.
I will try to write more about this later but just one note – I found some of the big picture discussions about the importance of the nexus between food, agriculture and health to be pretty inspiring. For now – I hope the Storify I made and embedded below will give some idea as to the goings on of the symposium.

As I’ve been using Spotify more frequently over the past few weeks, I’ve heard a promo from them every now and again that suggests that piracy is passé and users no longer have an excuse to download songs illicitly now that many songs are hosted on the service.
Spotify, I’ma let you finish, but piracy had the greatest yield of all time. Until I became addicted to music blogs that always had the freshest leaks, I was a slave to pop 40 top radio hits and whatever odd artists and songs my brother and sister liked. New songs would come to me in waves, depending mostly on whether TRL needed new music videos to premiere.
Around 2007, things changed. I started to figure out for myself what artists I liked superlatively, and followed them through leaks and by downloading their back catalogs. At first, I did the responsible thing: if I liked the album and played it enough, I’d go out and buy it. By the end of 2007, my collection got so multifarious and large that this became infeasible.
Not only that… I was stocking up on music that would have never likely been released, ever, anywhere if it weren’t for them being posted on blogs. Music that Spotify will never have. I found out about artists from California to Denmark to Japan thanks not to Spotify, but to my now antiquated method of rifling through numerous blogs for links to what I hoped would be great music. The hunt was the digital version of digging into vinyls in the back of the record store.
To reminisce about my formative days of musical independence and music-hunting, I just ordered Natasha Bedingfield’s 2007 album N.B., which was never released stateside. It contains seven tracks not included on 2008’s Pocketful of Sunshine, which is on Spotify (whereas N.B. isn’t).
With Spotify, the search is limited to what they can acquire for you to hear (which sometimes is great, but not always what you want). In other words, it’s like watching Adventure Time and thinking, “This is awesome, but I’d rather be watching Dexter’s Lab… but Cartoon Network won’t air it and they only ever released Season 1 on DVD so I might as well torrent the whole series.”

There was a mild drama on Tuesday as the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chris Ngige, and member representing Ikeja Federal Constituency, Lagos State, James Faleke, exchanged words.
Ngige was appearing before the House Ad Hoc Committee on the Arbitrary Breach of Presidential Directives on the Suspension of Top Management and Executive Members of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund and Other Government Agencies by the Ministry.
Ngige, while being questioned by the committee, said he was on the same level with the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
He noted that aside from being age mates with the former Lagos governor, he also had the same political achievements with him.
“Faleke, they said is up to 60. You are near my age, but I am at least seven years older than you. I’m sure. I am of the same age with your mentor in Lagos, Asiwaju. I was governor with him at the same time. He was a senator, and I was a senator. I am a two-time minister and he isn’t a two-time minister,” he said.
The lawmaker, in an apparent reference to the controversies that trailed Ngige’s election as governor of Anambra State, retorted that Tinubu won his own election “very well”.
The minister then reminded Faleke, who was a former deputy governorship candidate of the APC in Kogi State, how his struggle to replace his running mate and governorship candidate, Abubakar Audu, was frustrated after the latter died shortly after they both won the election.
“Mr Minister, please respond,” Faleke fired back.
“I am responding. You yab me, I will yab you 10 times. I am a Lagos boy. You are just a small boy in Lagos. Look at this boy. Mushin boy is talking to a VI boy. I live in Victoria Island,” Ngige said


A multiplex immunoassay, named the Cygnus system, has been devised by researchers at the University of Reading. This technology is targeted at the detection of dengue fever. It also performs the function of identifying the subtype of the Dengue virus. Contrary to the traditional lab tests, this multiplex is more sensitive and convenient; ten tests can be executed on the same sample simultaneously. The POC device can record the patient’s data which can later be shared through a smartphone. The researchers have claimed that the Cygnus system has a higher percentage of efficacy than LFTs.

Deafblindness is the loss of sight and hearing to the point where your communication, mobility and ability to access information are impacted. This includes ‘progressive’ sight and hearing loss; where your sight and hearing may deteriorate over a period of time. Deafblindness is often also referred to as ‘dual sensory loss’ or ‘dual sensory impairment’.
Deafblindness is a completely different condition to a sight loss plus a hearing loss. An easy way to think of this is to imagine hearing impairment as the colour blue and visual impairment as the colour yellow. When the two sensory impairments, or in this case the colours blue and yellow, come together they become something new –dual sensory impairment or in this analogy – green; a totally new colour with different properties.
Deafblindness comes on a huge spectrum ranging from struggling to see and hear the TV right through to not being able to see or hear anything at all. However, many people with deafblindness are able to hear and/or see something. Deafblindness affects everyone in different ways, click here to read more about living with deafblindness.
It is estimated that there are nearly 400,000 deafblind people in the UK. This is expected to increase to over 600,000 by 2030 due to our ageing population. Deafblindness affects people of all ages, including children and young people, but it is more common in older people as our sight and hearing naturally worsen as we get older.
People are described as congenitally deafblind if they were born with their vision and hearing impairment, or if they acquired it before they learned to talk or to learn sign language (often as a result of an illness or injury).
Acquired deafblindness is when you develop vision and hearing loss after you have developed language. This includes people who were born deaf and then lose their sight, and people who were born blind and later lose their hearing. Acquired deafblindness is very common in older adults because our sight and hearing naturally deteriorate as we get older.
Multi Sensory Impaired (MSI)
The term MSI is used to describe a group of people (mainly used in an educational setting with children) who have a number of different sensory difficulties. This can include any of the senses and includes the processing issues that some people experience. This means that, although there are no issues with the sensory organs, the brain struggles to decode and organise the messages sent from them.
You may be aware that they can’t see and hear as well as you used to, but you don’t consider yourself to be deafblind. It is important for us all to recognise the signs of sight and hearing impairments in ourselves and in our friends and family - and to understand that support is available if we need it.

A couple decades ago, it was hard to imagine Tampa Bay being a hockey town. Nestled along Florida’s western coast, Tampa is a sunny spot. These days, the Tampa Bay Lightning own the city, and the NHL, for that matter.
The Tampa Bay Lightning lead the league with 110 points, 16 ahead of the next best team. With only 12 games left in the regular season, they are essentially a lock to win the Presidents’ Trophy. Of course, this makes them the favorite to win the Stanley Cup.
No other team is in the same conversation as the Lightning right now. While other teams made multiple tweaks and improvements during a busy trade deadline season, the Tampa Bay left their roster as is. Why mess with what appears to be the perfect formula for success?
People have been raving about the Lightning’s depth since last summer, expecting them to capture their second Stanley Cup in franchise history. Rolling four highly capable lines makes them impossible to play against, especially with so many elite forwards.
The Bolts lived up to the hype, leading the league in goals per game and power-play percentage. Nikita Kucherov has an exceptional 111 points through 70 games, making him a frontrunner for the Hart Trophy. The only argument against him is the fact that he plays alongside so many other superstars.
Lightning Coach Jon Cooper has the luxury of placing Kucherov, Brayden Point, Tyler Johnson, Steven Stamkos, J.T Miller and Ondrej Palat in his Top 6. They are certainly not lacking on defense either, with Victor Hedman anchoring the corps. They rank fourth in the league in goals against per game.
Everything appears to be magical in Tampa Bay, but the reality of hockey is that they are only set up for disappointment. Expectations are higher than ever for the organization to win it all. As a team that has dominated the league all year, it is only logical to expect them to win a championship.
But looking back at the league’s recent history, since the last lockout in 2004-05, the Presidents’ Trophy winners have only won the Stanley Cup two times. The 2008 Detroit Red Wings and 2013 Chicago Blackhawks were the only teams to fulfill their expectation to be the last team standing in June.
Hockey’s playoffs are a different animal, and unlike the NBA, they are extremely unpredictable. Sure, the best teams have the greatest chance of winning the Cup, but each team in the tournament has a legitimate shot at winning it all. Hockey becomes a different game come playoff time as the physicality and intensity rises.
In 2012, the Los Angeles Kings finished eighth in the Western Conference, securing the final playoff spot. They went on to win the Stanley Cup, losing just four playoff games en route to their first Stanley Cup. You never know what will happen once the regular season gets erased.
The Lightning are battle tested, primed to make a deep playoff run. But with hockey, nothing is guaranteed. Because of the NHL’s unusual playoff system, they are bound to play either the Toronto Maple Leafs or Boston Bruins if they advance to the second round. Boston specifically has been flying down the stretch of the season, and could easily beat Tampa Bay in a seven game series. They currently have the second best record in the Eastern Conference, and have strengthened their offense with the additions of Marcus Johansson and Charlie Coyle.
So we can keep talking about what a historic season the Lightning are having, but it will all be forgotten if they do not complete the mission. While it seems like they have proven everything already this season, in reality they have proven nothing.

Victor Taglia shared this post for the second portion of the Bitcoin-Fueled Content Contest.
The Chicago Police department has decided to stop responding to select 911 calls. Apparently, they will not be responding to calls such as “criminal damage to property, vehicle thefts, garage burglaries, or other crimes in which the suspect is no longer on the scene, and the victim isn’t in immediate danger.” This is all so that “the equivalent of 44 police officers a day” will be available for patrol duties.
People are already scared of police officers when they don’t need help, but now when they need the police department’s help, the cops may or may not respond? People expect to have something done right away when their rights have been violated by another person, whether it may be assault, stealing, or really almost any crime able to be committed against a person. Wouldn’t you want police to investigate your burglarized house or try to find the person that just assaulted you? That is what taxpayers pay for! But now, if the crime is not in progress, they will not respond. It is absolutely ridiculous!
Basically, the police are doing the exact opposite of what is expected. If you are video taping them or not acting very nice, they will arrest and jail you. But if your house is burglarized, may as well just leave, get something to eat, and go home a few hours later. Then you only have to wait another hour before they show up!
Now, you will still be able to file reports over the phone, but it is nowhere near as comforting as when a police officer is at the crime scene where you see something being done. It seems as if police are doing less and less for protecting citizens and more for protecting themselves. They give justifications like, “In this day and age, it is very dangerous and our officers need to be safe,” for an incident such as shooting an innocent unarmed man dead in his own home, but when the citizens they have sworn to protect are hurt, who cares, right? People are scared, and for good reason. Chicago seems to be getting more unsafe every minute.

Green lawn can always decorate a large country territory or cottage. Lawn is a great background for gazebo, flowerbeds, rocaria. You can put a fresh herbal carpet manually, but as a result, a uniform lawn does not always work, in some cases the vegetation is bundled, and it looks inactively. Therefore, it is better for this procedure to use special seed fit techniques.
Embossing the planting material and at the same time fertilize the soil manually – this is a rather complicated and inconvenient job. To make these procedures qualitatively and quickly, it is better to use a marine seeder. In this type of equipment, you can regulate the planting rate of planting material, sand, feeding and other products in granules.
This universal device can be used both for planting vegetation on the lawn and for the distribution of fertilizers, chemicals to eliminate pests.
In the design of the jerk seeder, there are frame, material tank, coulters, which are made of furrows, elements for feeding seeds to the seed diplot, built-in dispenser. The design contributes to the universality of the unit and the simplicity of its use. Thanks to the mechanization of the sowing process, the gardener can not only save their time and strength, but also reduces its contact with chemical substances. Purchase of this type of technology will allow you to quickly, simply and efficiently make a lawn care.
Since now the demand for aggregates for the sowing of lawn grass is increasing, manufacturers produce goods in several types. Retroxsers may differ from each other with dimensions, power, functionality, design elements and cost. You can find scattering technique for tractor and mini-seeders. Almost any unit is suitable for making mineral fertilizers, perennial seeds, honey herbs.
The manual seeder for the lawn is quite compact dimensions, so it can be transported in hand. To bring the machine to action, just press a special key. The design of the manual unit includes a container for sowing material, a small motor that runs from batteries or batteries. Using a manual seeder, you can count on a uniform scattering of seeds by the rotor.
Everything else, the employee has the ability to adjust the range of variation of the material in the range from 0.5 to 4 m. But not all models of seeders have such a function. Usually in the container can accommodate about 1000 g of seeds. Manual fixture is considered an optimal option for settling and fertilizing the lawn with an area of up to 10 acres. And also they are often used to sprinkle roads during the ice.
Mechanical type spreader has a type of carts equipped with wheels. Thanks to them, the technique is conveniently transported and moved along the lawn. The seeder on the mechanics has a spacious bunker with a volume of up to 30 liters. For the operation of the equipment, the employee will need to simply roll it on the lawn. The mechanical actuator of the unit doses independently and spreads the material.
Seeders of this type are rotary and accurate, they are used in large areas with a perfectly smooth surface. To move or stop the equipment, the gardener will be enough to press the button.
For processing lawn with a large area, it is better to get a professional view of a seeder. It has the appearance of a small trailer and is fixed to a small or medium tractor. You can also find models of self-propelled type, which have an integrated engine. Through the use of such seeders, a high-quality result of the work has been obtained.
The bunker has a professional seeder is characterized by a large volume, so it can be placed in it; a mixture of landing material and fertilizer. Often, such equipment is acquired for processing a soccer field, a golf course, landing of the park. The unit squeezes the area with a width of 3 or more meters. The spreader has the ability to regulate the depth of sewage.
Professional rotary models carry out the distribution of seeds at a particular distance, in which case the grass growth may be loose. Models of accurate seeding is characterized by a uniform grain laying. As a result, the territory always has the kind of a dense green carpet.
Overview of the best models
Using a seeder – spreader – this is a guarantee of a beautiful lawn with neat thick grass. Working this unit, you can decorate the country area, make the arrangement of the park area or falling down the game field. Select the view of the seeder is worth considering the financial capabilities and features of the territory. In the rating of the most sought-after models of spreaders are several.
- Verve, 12l. This seeder model is correct and high speed scatches the planting material on the site. It is often used to work in the country and country territory. The design of the unit allows you to work with seeds of different sizes. The goods are made from high quality plastic, therefore it is distinguished by a long service life.
- Wolf-Garten We-B. Consumers appreciated this spreader model for ease of use. Using the unit, the employee will be able to quickly process about 750 acres of territory. This seed drill type is characterized by simplicity of control, low weight, as well as functioning from standard batteries.
- Wolf-Garten WE-300 – a simple wheel assembly that is designed to spread seeds. Low weight model contributes to the ability to store it in a suspended state. German goods are characterized by the simplicity of management and the ability to work with complex and uneven territories.
- GARDENA CLASSIC 300. This model of the seeder has the ability to scatter the planting material at a distance of 0.45 m. The technique is equipped with plastic wheels, so it easily moves along the site. The aggregate container is able to accommodate up to 10 kg of planting material or feeding.
- “Garden Comfort-800”. Using this unit, you can sow seeds in the territory with dimensions of about 800 m 2. The sewage width is 0.5 m, while the container can accommodate 20 l of material. The technique is equipped with a large handle, so does not create problems in management.
- Brigadier 86020. A rotary spreader model is equipped with a hole adjustment system through which seeds are served. Consumers have already managed to appreciate the possibility of uniform scattering seeds. This model can become an excellent helper for each farmer, as it can be used to work with lawn material, substances for ground dressing and even flower mixtures.
How to use?
Only the correct operation of the technique will allow to obtain a uniform and attractive plot. Use the spreader for sowing lawn costs in accordance with certain requirements.
- 7 days before sowing disinfect with this unit, it will not hurt to scatter on the fertilizer section on potash and phosphate basis. And also in a small dose to make nitrogen-containing feeding. You need to do it in the fall.
- Worth buying high-quality seeds. Usually grabs 1000 g to sing weave the territory. Planting material should be treated in advance with fungicides, this event will improve the vital resistance of plants on the lawn. Luggie herbs are considered the best option for green lungs.
- With the help of a seeder, you need to make a uniform distribution of seeds throughout the lawn. Initially, the territory is processed along, and after that across.
- So that the planting material is well fixed in the ground, the site needs to be treated with a rink.
- Special fertilizers, stimulating plant growth contribute to the same seeder.
The seeder must be cleaned every time after its use. If this is not done, then due to the accumulation of dust and dirt, the service life of the unit can be reduced. It is possible to store the spreader in the garage, storage room or a barn, most importantly – so that the room is dry and cool.
How to make it yourself?
Make a manual mechanical seeder can be independently at home. To work, it will be necessary to acquire the following objects:
- drive wheel;
- coulter and boards;
- metal strip;
- 2 bike stars;
- apparatus for welding;
- Spanic keys.
Using the above elements, you can make a simple, but functional seeder for lawn. Work is carried out according to a specific scheme.
- Make a drive type wheel due to which the spreader will function. To this end, it is recommended to twist an element from an old drive.
- Made wheel to weld to the hub of one of the disks on the couch. To prevent breakage of the unit of the seams worth do especially high quality.
- As the main design mechanism you need to use a chain with stars from a bike.
- Using a welding machine, from thin tubes you need to weld the steel base. The handle and canister will be recorded.
- With a pair of small wheels, you need to make a sealing rink and attach it to the back of the manufactured structure.
The size of the base and the length of the handle should be selected in accordance with its growth. If necessary, details can be replaced by others with a similar purpose.

As some of you guys know, when you set the JumpPower of the player’s humanoid to 0 on mobile, the button for jumping does not appear. While this can be handy in some cases, it can be less handy in others. Is there a way I could show the jump button while the JumpPower is still 0 on mobile?
How about setting he jump power super low and then removing the jump animation? Or remove the jump function when it pops into starter player scripts or something.
Yes. There is. You can try adding a UI instead If you want to keep your zero jump power. You can add a UI or button that is similar to Jump Button in Mobile that If they press, it will grant them jump power or you can use the .Jump property which is
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Jump = true
—Put a LocalScript into StarterGui and write this: wait(.1) game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 0.01
Tell me if this works.
It’s something in roblox core scripts, so I’d suggest that for better reliability you code your own jump button! This will actually work with what you want, setting the jumppower to 0, not setting it to 0.000001
I’ve found if you turn UseJumpPower off and set JumpHeight to 0 it shows the jump button, then when you need to, just turn UseJumpPower on and then set JumpPower to the desired value!
good idea if it actually works, but is a hell of a thing to use two same systems at the same time, code your own button, it’ll be better

w far they are from the wished-for port of perfection.
I have a profound respect for the sea as a moral teacher. No man can be tossed about upon it without feeling his impotence and insignificance, and having his heart opened to the companions of his danger as it has never been opened before. The sea brings out the real character of every man; and those who journey over its "deep invisible paths" find themselves intrusting their most sacred confidences to the keeping of comparative strangers. The conventionalities of society cannot thrive in a salt atmosphere; and you shall be delighted to see how frank and agreeable the "world's people" can be when they are caught where the laws of fashion are silent, and what a wholesome neglect of personal appearances prevails among them when that sternest of democrats, Neptune, has placed them where they feel that it would be folly to try to produce an impression. The gentleman of the prize ring, whom Dickens introduces looking with admiration at the stately Mr. Do


From 1994 to 1996, NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center conducted a Center Director's Discretionary Fund research effort to apply artificial intelligence technologies to the health management of plant equipment and space propulsion systems. Through this effort, NASA established a business relationship with Quality Monitoring and Control (QMC), of Kingwood, Texas, to provide hardware modeling and artificial intelligence tools. Very detailed and accurate Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME) analysis and algorithms were jointly created, which identified several missing, critical instrumentation needs for adequately evaluating the engine health status. One of the missing instruments was a liquid oxygen (LOX) flow measurement. This instrument was missing since the original SSME included a LOX turbine flow meter that failed during a ground test, resulting in considerable damage for NASA. New balanced flow meter technology addresses this need with robust, safe, and accurate flow metering hardware.
Marshall and QMC engineers performed extensive modeling and analysis of the SSME system, and determined that the existing instrumentation was not sufficient to fully evaluate the SSME health status primarily relating to turbine blade failures. With existing instruments, the best system models have approximately 2.5-percent error and actual data show that very significant hardware failures produce an efficiency change of less than 1 percent, which is within the error band, making many failures impossible to detect. The need for a direct LOX measurement with less than 1-percent error was clear, but the way to do it was not, since the SSME hardware and environmental requirements are extreme. To meet the SSME LOX flow need, the group required a meter that would operate in different fluid physical states; accommodate wide variations in temperature, pressure, vibration, and flow conditions; measure flow with less than 1-percent error; and provide a mechanically robust system with low probability of failure. In addition to these strict requirements, other desired features included operation in different fluid mediums (liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, kerosene, etc.); operation in any gravity environment; simplified, long-lasting meter calibration; minimal intrusion into the flow path; and the ability to measure, condition, or limit flow within the same design.
With all of these requirements in mind, the balanced flow meter technology was conceived, created, and tested through the Marshall Technology Investment Projects program. The combination of unique hardware design and unique algorithms met all of the objectives in laboratory experimentation. Testing to harsher environments, in different fluids, and in bi-phase situations is continuing.
Based upon its work with NASA, QMC founded A+FlowTek, also of Kingwood, Texas, to commercialize the balanced flow meter technology. Together, A+FlowTek and NASA patented the Balanced Flow Meter, with the company receiving exclusive licensing rights.
The Balanced Flow Meter determines the fluid flow rate in piping, channel, and conduit systems. It provides highly accurate flow metering, flow limiting, or flow conditioning in any fluid flow system. As a flow meter, the technology provides flow measurement with minimal intrusion into the flow path and requires no moving parts. Additionally, this technology is LOX-safe and the hardware is robust enough for consideration as an engine LOX flow meter. As a flow limiting device, the technology can simulate facility and engine fluid flow loads. The technology's sizing is more accurate than the currently used orifice plate technology, and it takes much less space and cost compared to Venturi flow technology. Finally, as a flow conditioning device, the balanced flow technology may improve engine performance by conditioning fluid flow profiles around elbows, combustion chambers, and pump inlets.
Fluid flow measurements such as these are used extensively in the processing industries for refineries and chemical, power, and pharmaceutical plants. Chevron and Sloss Industries are among the companies already using the Balanced Flow Meter technology in their industrial plants with good results.
The Balanced Flow Meter's applications to NASA's liquid propulsion systems and test facilities are numerous. Possible near-term NASA applications include using the technology as a flow limit device to simulate the engine loads during Stennis Space Center facility verifications. Once the concept is proven in the appropriate environments, there could be thousands of NASA applications for this promising technology.

Rural areas are also disproportionately affected by obesity and face significant challenges related to their food environment, food security, and food availability. The combination of these barriers make it challenging for rural, NA reservations to combat these health disparities and have opportunities to make healthy food choices. The lack of access to healthy and traditional foods in these areas is of great concern. The purpose of this study is to determine the food availability, including traditional foods, in grocery and convenience stores in six high obese counties in South Dakota, including Native American reservations. We assessed the rural food environments by utilizing the Nutrition Environment Measures Survey for Stores (NEMS-S) tool to measure the availability of foods, including traditional foods. A selection of one community per county was examined using an observational study of grocery and convenience stores (9 convenience, 6 grocery). We found significant differences in the availability of food for both grocery and convenience stores and also found a limited amount of traditional foods available in these stores. In order to promote and recommend a well-balanced diet, these communities need to have healthy foods that are accessible, affordable, and available for purchase.

Harald Sigurdsson, also known as Harald of Norway , photo by Colin Smith, CC BY-SA 2.0
Harald Sigurdsson (1015-1066), also known as Harald Hardrada (“hard”) was one of the most fabled kings in Norwegian history. Harald and his half-brother Olaf Haraldsson – who later became Saint Olaf – fought together in 1030 while trying to reclaim the throne from the Danish king Cnut the Great – who made an alliance with the jarls of Lade in the Trondheim region. Olaf died in battle and the brothers’ Upland clans were defeated. As a result, the young Harald was forced into exile in the eastern lands of the Kievan Rus (Garðaríki) – just as Olaf had been exiled before returning to die in battle. Olaf spent two years among the Rus and Swedes, but Harald’s exile proved considerably longer. According to the Heimskringla – a history of the Norwegian kings written in Old Norse by Icelandic historian Snorri Sturluson in the 1230s – “Harald remained several years in Russia, and travelled far and wide in the Eastern land. Then he began his expedition out to Greece, and had a great suite of men with him; and on he went to Constantinople.”
Formally constituted under the Roman (Byzantine) Emperor Basil II in 988, for a long time the Varangian Guard existed as a special auxiliary force operating under the emperors.
This force consisted mostly of Vikings, Rus, and later Anglo-Saxons and Normans. When Harald arrived in Miklagarth – the Norse name for Constantinople – he was “but a short time in the army before all the Varings flocked to him, and… It thus came to pass that Harald was made chief of the Varings.” According to the modern historian Krijnie Ciggaar, Harald arrived in Constantinople in 1034 “and served three successive emperors: Michael IV the Paphlagonian (1034-41), Michael V Calaphates (1041-2) and Constantine IX Monomachos (1042-55).” Many of his expeditions were commanded by the Greek general Georges Maniakas, while others were carried out exclusively by Harald and his men. Battles took place in the Holy Land, Bulgaria, Sicily, and Africa:
Harald remained… in Africa, where he gathered great wealth in gold, jewels, and all sorts of precious things; and all the wealth he gathered there which he did not need for his expenses, he sent with trusty men of his own north to Novgorod to King Jarisleif’s [Yaroslav] care and keeping.
Varangians War Against the Pechenegs
Ciggaar notes that in 1036 the Pechenegs – a Turkic tribe from Central Asia located along the north coast of the Black Sea – “raided Byzantine territory as many as three times in succession, on which occasion the local population suffered badly, was tortured and massacred or carried off…” In response, the emperor sent “Russian Varangians together with the newly arrived Norsemen” to wage war. From 1019 to 1054 Yaroslav the Wise, the Grand Prince of Kiev, ruled a Christian domain stretching from Novgorod in the north to the mouth of the Dnieper River on the Black Sea.
When Harald and five hundred of his seasoned soldiers returned to Yaroslav’s kingdom as Varangians, they helped him win his war against the Pechenegs. To celebrate the victory, Yaroslav ordered the construction of the Saint Sophia Cathedral. After Harald had amassed enough wealth, the exiled claimant to the Norwegian throne “longed to return to the North… when he heard that Magnus Olafson, his brother’s son, had become king both of Norway and Denmark, [and] he gave up his command in the Greek service.”

Anderson. Paak and Knxwledge are back as supergroup NxWorries after a six-year hiatus. On Wednesday (October 19), the duo returned with new music video “Where I Go,” featuring R&B musician H.E.R. as Paak’s romantic interest. Towards the end of “Where I Go,” H.E.R.’s character bails on Paak after a house party gone wrong.
Paak and Knxwledge’s forthcoming collaborative album will follow their 2016 full-length debut Yes Lawd! Paak is also one-half of soul supergroup Silk Sonic with Bruno Mars, who won four Grammy Awards earlier this year for their debut single “Leave the Door Open.” In an exclusive statement to Rolling Stone, the duo announced that they’d be omitting from submitting their album An Evening With Silk Sonic for Grammy consideration.
“We truly put our all on this record, but Silk Sonic would like to gracefully, humbly and most importantly, sexually, bow out of submitting our album this year,” Mars wrote. “We hope we can celebrate with everyone on a great year of music and partake in the party. Thank you for letting Silk Sonic thrive.”
He added, “Andy and I, and everyone that worked on this project, won the moment the world responded to ‘Leave The Door Open.’ Everything else was just icing on the cake. We thank the Grammys for allowing us to perform on their platform — not once but twice — and awarding us at last year’s ceremony. We’d be crazy to ask for anything more.”

Industrial power quality solutions generally consist of devices to deal with individual problems, and if more than one problem needs to be dealt with, more than one device is required. The unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) is designed to cope with multiple PQ issues.
Power quality problems experienced at the grid connection point of industrial systems include current harmonics, low power factor, resonance and high frequency interference. Problems experienced at the load side include voltage harmonics, voltage sag and spikes, and well as conducted interference. Most existing solutions, such as DSTATCOM and DVR systems, tend to deal with one problem only, such as harmonics, and treat grid and load problems separately. Static shunt compensators suffer from source voltage oscillations, while, static series compensators cannot operate in nonlinear load condition correctly .
Based on these two compensator device characteristics, the unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) was invented in 1998 . It can operate in both nonlinear load condition and source voltage oscillations to improve current and voltage specifications . The UPQC can deal with multiple problems at the same time and offers an integrated means of dealing with power quality problems, especially in industrial applications. In recent years, most of the attempts to improve the performance of this device were focused on new control techniques to overcome to previous control schemes drawbacks.
The most complete configuration of hybrid filters is the unified power quality conditioner (UPQC), which is also known as the universal power quality system (UPQS). the UPQC is a multifunction power conditioner that can be used to compensate a wide variety of voltage disturbances of the power supply, to correct voltage fluctuation, and to prevent harmonic load currents from entering the power system. It is a custom power device designed to mitigate the disturbances that affect the performance of sensitive and/or critical loads. The UPQC has shunt and series compensation capabilities for harmonics, reactive power, voltage disturbances, and power-flow control. A UPQC consists of two voltage-source converters with a common DC link (Fig. 1).
The two converters are driven by a controller, which generates the control signals to drive the converters. One converter is connected in series through a transformer between the source and the critical load at the PCC and operates as a voltage-source inverter. The other converter is connected in shunt at the PCC through a transformer and operates as a current-source inverter. The active series converter compensates for voltage supply disturbances, performs harmonic isolation, and damps harmonic oscillations. The active shunt converter compensates for load current waveform distortions and reactive power, and performs the DC link voltage regulation.
The converters consist of a 3-phase bridge bidirectional arrangement of switches, which could be IGBTs. The power for the bridge is drawn from the storage capacitor. a typical arrangement is shown in Fig. 2.
The DC link and storage
The key component of the UPQC is the DC link and storage, which provides the power for the switches in the active power filters. Other active power devices such as Statcom and DVR also use storage, but the UPQC combines the storage of both the series and shunt filters into one unit. The DC storage takes the form of a capacitor, which can absorb or supply energy to the units. In compensation process, the DC side voltage will change because the UPQC compensates the active power and the losses of switches, etc. If the DC voltage is not the same as the rating value, the output voltage of the series active filter will not equal to the compensation value. The compensation will not correct. It is the same with the shunt active filter. A DC voltage regulator used to generate a control signal to keep the voltage constant. It forces the shunt active filter to draw additional active current from the network.
The operation can be understood by considering the series and shunt components individually.The operation of the device can be understood by considering the operation of the two separate arms, in terms of the operation of the equivalent individual devices.
Shunt active power filter (APF) operation
In shunt operation which acts as a voltage source converter, the active filter injects current at the point of load coupling to produce a distortion free current as seen by the supply. This cancels out the “harmonic” content of the load current presented to the source. Static shunt compensators, such as DSTATCOM and APF, are mainly intended for conditioning the current flowing from a load into the network. The shunt active power filter provides the current and the reactive power compensation(as the system needs). It acts as a controlled current generator that compensates the load current to force the source currents drawn from the network to be sinusoidal, balanced and in phase with the positive-sequence system voltages.
Series APF operation
The series active power filter provides the voltage compensation. It generates the compensation voltage that, synthesised by the PWM converter and inserted in series with the supply voltage, forces the voltage at the PCC to become sinusoidal and balanced.
In series operation active power filter introduces a voltage in addition to the supply voltage that produces an undistorted sine wave, of the required value at the point of load connection.
The functions of the controller are twofold:
To perform these functions on a single phase circuit is fairly simple but to do the same on three phases simultaneously is a complex operation. Where the UPQC is used on three phase equipment, the distortion on each phase is likely to be similar, making the operation much easier. On three phase distribution feeds, the distortion on each phase can differ significantly and analysis and correction becomes more difficult.
There are many techniques used for analysis, but all rely basically on comparing the sampled waveform with a reference or “perfect” waveform. The difference between the systems lies in how the perfect waveform is generated. While the UPQC configuration is fairly simple, the complexity lies in the controller. The controller is the heart of the UPQC system. The UPQC is an active filter and as such requires an active power filter controller for operation.
The APF controller output is applied to the input or control inputs of the inverters. The efficiency of a good UPQC system depends solely upon its controlling algorithm. The UPQC control strategy determines the current and voltage reference signals and thus, decides the switching times of inverter switches, so that the expected performance can be achieved. Derivation of the controlling signals for the active filter involve complex 3-phase matrix modelling, transformation and analysis and will not be discussed in detail here.
There are numerous techniques that have been developed to control UPQC systems. The main control strategies which have been introduced are divided into two categories: Time domain techniques and frequency domain techniques. Time domain techniques such as instantaneous power theory (PQ theory), constant source instantaneous power, synchronous reference frame control and sinusoidal source current technique have been introduced to control active power filters .
Nevertheless, whereas a low pass filter is used in their algorithms, time delay in their performance makes their response inaccurate and disrupted for compensating high order harmonic components. Moreover, these algorithms assume that the harmonic components of each phase are identical to the harmonics of other phases, so these algorithms can’t be used to compensate any disturbances in distribution systems because in practice, the harmonics of three phase currents are not identical.
Frequency domain techniques are based on the Fourier transform analysis of harmonics, and the FFT algorithm has been developed to extract the components which should be compensated by the UPQC. This algorithm is very simple from an operation point of view and it is free from drawbacks which were mentioned for time domain techniques. If the harmonic components of each phase are not identical to the harmonic of other phases, this algorithm can operate correctly.
All methods used extract the difference between the actual current and voltage waveforms and an ideal reference (error signals) and use this to generate the control signals for the active power filters. The difference between the methods lies in the effectiveness of responding to rapid changes such as spikes and glitches, and the amount of distortion which can be corrected.
Instantaneous active and reactive power (PQ theory)
In power systems, the electric power can be defined as the rate at which electric energy is transferred per time unit through a given cross section of a transmission line. The instantaneous power concept emerges when the time period observed during the energy flow becomes infinitesimal, representing the power at each instant. The theory is the set of power definitions, the explanation of its properties, the relationship among these concepts and their physical interpretations, combining mathematics, physics and technology models .
The PQ theory is based on instantaneous power as defined in the time domain. It can be applied to 3-phase systems with or without a neutral conductor. It is valid not only in the steady state but in the transient state. The PQ theory considers the 3-phase system as a unit, not as the sum or superposition of three single phase systems. The system uses the Clarke transformation from abc to αβ0 co-ordinates and defines instantaneous power on αβ0 co-ordinates. The instantaneous power is calculated to yield the following quantities.
p = the instantaneous real power
q = the instantaneous imaginary power
po = the instantaneous zero sequence power
Fig. 5 shows an example of the shunt compensator of the type used and Fig. 6 illustrates the block diagram of the calculation process .
From the measured values of the phase voltages (Va, Vb, Vc) and load currents (Ia, Ib, Ic), the controller calculates the reference currents (Ica*, Icb*, Icc*, Icn*) used by the inverter to produce the compensation currents (Ica, Icb, Icc, Icn).
Synchronous reference frame control method
The conventional SRF method can be used to extract the harmonics contained in the supply voltages or currents. For current harmonic compensation, the distorted currents are first transferred into two-phase stationary coordinates using (α−β) transformation (the same as in PQ theory). After that, the stationary frame quantities are transferred into synchronous rotating frames using cosine and sine functions from a phase-locked loop (PLL). The sines and cosine functions help to maintain the synchronisation with supply voltage and current. Similar to the PQ theory, using filters, the harmonics and fundamental components are separated easily and transferred back to the (abc) frame as reference signals for the filter. The conventional SRF algorithm is also known as (dq) method, and it is based on (abc) to (dq0) transformation (park transformation), which is used for active filter compensation.
Developments in control methods
Both the PQ and the SRF methods require complex operations and have drawbacks in operation. Most research is focussed on alternative methods, such as Kahlman filtering, the FFT, artificial neural networks (ANN), and other derivatives such as space vector modulation. The fundamental configuration of the device, however, remains the same.

Dacia is preparing for the Geneva Motor Show 2017 with some novelties: a Stepway version for the Logan MCV model and a new limited series for all the models called Summit.
The Stepway version of the Sandero model is a real success, and Dacia wants to use this success on other models. After Lodgy and Dokker, the newest model that will receive a Stepay version is the Logan MCV. The new Logan MCV Stepway will be a viable option to an SUV and will use a couple of elements found on the off-road models. Thus, the Logan MCV Stepway will have an increased ground clearance with 5 centimeters and will have better performances on difficult terrain. It remains to be seen if the dynamic behavior at high speeds will be affected, Logan MCV being already a model with a big interior volume.
The other element found on the new Logan MCV Stepway will be aesthetic and are common to the Stepway family: redesigned front grille, chrome inserts on the front and back bumpers. On the interior, we will find the new four-spoke steering wheel and a new upholstery with satin decorative inserts. The boot is the biggest offered by any model in this segment according to Dacia officials and will have a volume of 573 litres.
Besides the Logan MCV, Dacia will present at the Geneva Motor Show in March a new special edition of the Duster and the Stepway range. The special edition will be called Summit in the UK but may have different names in other countries. the Dacia Summit special edition will be available in two body colours: Grey Island on all models and Orange Ocher available only for the Sandero Stepway models. The Dacia Summit special edition will also have a new set of alloy wheels and a new upholstery with copper colour inserts. Some interior elements like the air vents, the central console or the carpets will also have copper colour inserts.
We don’t have any information about the price of the new Dacia Summit special edition models or the release date, but we can expect that the new models will be available for ordering in the second semester of this year.

Collection Quilt: a quilt top finished
The Collection quilt. What an interesting name! Collecting is the action or process of gathering something. My quilt top is finished, and stepping back to look at it makes me smile. I see fabrics gathered over time into my stash now working together in the blocks and also think of life experiences that came while I was stitching them. In particular, I remember a day when collecting grew in meaning for me.
It had been another busy week and I was discouraged. Would I ever catch up? Could I please have a do-over? I love my children dearly and want them to succeed. Yet it seemed that everywhere I looked I saw parents doing something better than I did, something I’d never even thought of, and I would never be enough. The thought was heavy.
Then I heard a voice so clearly in my mind that there was no mistaking it. It simply said this:
“In all the history of the world, there has never been, and will never be, another family exactly like yours. STOP LOOKING AROUND! I know what I want your family to be like. LOOK UP, and let me show you.”
Such a sermon in those brief sentences!
It invited me to look again at the unique group of people I call my family, and see with new eyes the experiences, lessons, and gifts we’re collecting together. It was beautiful to look and really see. I felt new love and gratitude for where we are today.
Quilting reinforces this truth for me. We each bring something unique to our projects, and regardless of skill, size of stash or fabric budget, time constraints, and design style, we stitch a piece of ourselves into our quilts. I’m learning in my parenting and my sewing to stop looking around and instead look up. In doing so, life (and quilting) becomes more beautiful, instructive, nurturing, and joyful.
The Collection quilt pattern is by Carolyn Friedlander. I added borders to make it larger. You can see progress pictures of my sections
Thank you so much for visiting. I hope you’re looking up today!

You Have Options To Avoid Foreclosure
In the present economy, the loss of a home is now either desirable or is a necessity for many current homeowners. Yet, despite this fact, foreclosure will rarely serve homeowners’ best interests.
If you face foreclosure, consider exploring foreclosure alternatives by meeting with the Ann Arbor avoid foreclosure lawyers of Marrs & Terry, PLLC. Our consultations are free, and we have helped thousands of clients reduce debt and avoid foreclosure.
Do you need legal assistance in weighing the advantages and disadvantages of foreclosure? Contact Marrs & Terry, PLLC, by calling 866-665-8095.
What Are The Alternatives To Foreclosure?
When attempting to avoid foreclosure, two options are often the most viable:
- Deeds in lieu of foreclosure. When you pursue a deed in lieu of foreclosure, you sign the deed to your home over to your lender. As a result, you are no longer responsible for the property and will not have a foreclosure on your lending record.
- Short sales. With short sales, you avoid the hassle of preparing your home for showings, and, when it sells for less than the value of your current loan, you are not responsible for the deficiency.
We can help you with either option, when they are available. We can also navigate complexities and risk. For example, your lender may want you to sign a document stating that you are responsible for deficient funds, or you may face difficulties if there is more than one loan.
We Can Help Prevent Foreclosure. Contact Us Today.
We have over a decade of legal experience assisting clients regarding foreclosure alternatives. For more information, contact an Ann Arbor attorney by calling 866-665-8095.
