On March 18, 2021, the long awaited Snyder Cut of 2017’s Justice League was released on HBO Max. The 2017 film was panned by critics and fans alike for having wonky editing, strange tonal shifts, and an overall disjointed story, along with criticisms that Ray Fischer’s Cyborg and Ezra Miller’s The Flash were not developed enough in the film.
The original director of the film, Zack Snyder, who had previously directed Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, left the project originally due to the death of his daughter, although filming was completed. Warner Brothers brought in the director of the first two Avengers movies, Joss Whedon, to do re-shoots and rewrites. Overall most of Snyder’s vision, and two and a half hours of footage, had been completely cut from the movie and Whedon’s reshoots and rewrites did nothing but hurt the overall picture.
After the original release of the 2017 film, fans started mass petitions on social media to have Warner Brothers bring back Snyder to complete his vision and give a “true” version of the film with the #ReleasetheSnyderCut. On May 20, 2020 it was announced that the Snyder Cut of the film would be released in 2021.
The final title, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, was released to critical and fan acclaim. “The Snyder Cut is the best DC movie as it gives the watcher everything they want and more. I thought it was extremely well made and I enjoyed it from start to finish,” said sophomore Michael Bracha.
The final runtime of the movie is four hours and two minutes, with Snyder having only shot five minutes of new footage, although most of the CGI effects had been completely redone, especially with the main villain of the film, Steppenwolf, who looks completely different in both versions. As a critic of the movie, Bracha said, “The Snyder Cut improves almost everything from the original movie. The characters are better and have more development, the writing, editing, and cinematography is also greatly improved. When looking back at the original movie you can easily tell how poorly edited the 2017 movie was and how much the Snyder Cut improves upon it.”
Finally, the epilogue of the film has pointed to the direction of where Snyder wanted to take the DC Extended Universe, showing a dark alternate future where the main villain of the franchise, Darkseid, has already won. Along with the character arcs given to both Cyborg and The Flash, many fans are now extremely excited to see if Warner Brothers will bring back Snyder to finish his vision for the DCEU. “The DC movies should be going where Zack Snyder’s Justice League is going because it has a much greater impact on that universe compared to the original. I believe if they go this direction people will be more excited for more DC movies overall,” said Bracha
Snyder has said that he is not opposed to returning to the DCEU, as he had his own plans for both Justice League 2 and 3, but currently, Warner Brothers doesn’t have those movies in their upcoming slate. It is also believed that Warner Brothers wants to continue from 2017’s Justice League and not Snyder’s. Fans have started online petitions and social media movements again to bring back Snyder with the #RestoretheSnyderverse movement.

Council members unanimously voted during a July 8 meeting to call off the 2020 special bond election, which was previously delayed to November in an effort to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.
In light of the current and projected financial implications of COVID-19, officials agreed now is not the time to incur bond debt. Furthermore, Mayor Linda Anthony confirmed the city will not take on any new public works projects this year.
“I don’t think it’s a good time to be raising people’s taxes in the amount that we would be,” Anthony said. “I don’t think it’s a good time for the city to take on the additional debt we would be.”
The bond would have included a list of the city’s critical infrastructure needs, encompassing two propositions dedicated to the construction of a new combined City Hall and police building, and a list of roadway and drainage projects.
Anthony noted the city may revisit the list of projects sometime in the future.

text: I’ve started my research for Ragús book 4 of the Fae-Tales and it’s been quite a revelation. I’m exploring the distant past of the Fae, which I’ve set in ancient Greece (remember those dashing Fir Bolg?). Turns out Democracy isn’t quite what I believed the golden age was. Demo and Kratia, meaning power of the people, was in fact solely for male citizens, as they were the only ones allowed to vote. It was done with shards of pottery called ostrakon (note ostracize means to vote out). The role of women was strictly regulated. Concepts such as moderation, modesty, and domestic lives were highly prized as virtuous living. Restraint was the highest form of civilization and savagery was frowned upon…except at certain festivals. Now that’s a font of inspiration for me—it’s rich ground for exploration and my writer’s mind is working feverishly to spin a story for us to enjoy. Spinning and weaving were considered VERY virtuous, so I’m happily spinning away with a mischievous grin because I like to spin a wild yarn as you may already know. Here are some images to whet your appetite. I’ll keep you posted.

BILOXI, MS (WLOX) - Edgewater Mall has called in an exterminator. Billy the Exterminator, that is.
Everyone's invited to meet the A&E reality show star this Saturday, October 1 from 10am to 3pm. Billy will be signing autographs and taking pictures with fans.
Billy Bretherton is the spikey-haired, leather-bound, chain-mail donning founder of the Louisiana-based family-owned pest control business, Vexcon LLC.
During his 24 years experience in animal and pest control, Billy says he's wrangled and trapped the creepiest of creatures. His favorite job was at a 15-story building infested with more than 80,000 cockroaches.
"When we flushed out and killed the cockroaches, they ran into the city streets covering the cars and buildings for five city blocks in every direction," Billy recalled. "We saw roaches five stories up on the outside of surrounding buildings. I couldn't believe the mess we created."
Billy says he discovered his love of entomology during his four years in the US Air Force. That's where he was trained in extermination and animal control. He spent two years studying entomology and advanced pest control at Purdue University and is a certified master in termite control from LSU.

SPANISH MACKEREL - Scomberomorus maculatus
The Atlantic Spanish mackerel is a migratory species of mackerel that swims to the northern Gulf of Mexico in spring, returns to south Florida in the eastern gulf, and to Mexico in the western gulf in the fall.
Description: Color of back green, shading to silver on sides, golden yellow
irregular spots above and below lateral line; front of dorsal fin
black; lateral line curves gently to base of tail.
Similar fish: cero, S. regalis; king mackerel, S. cavalla.
Where found: INSHORE, NEARSHORE, and OFFSHORE, from the Yucatán peninsula, Mexico, as far north as Cape Cod, Massachusetts. They are a shallow water species, preferring sand bottom in 10 to 40 foot depths, occasionally found as deep as 80 feet.
Size: average catch less than 2 pounds (20 inches).
Remarks: Schooling fish that migrates northward in spring, returning to southerly waters when water temperatures drop below about 70 degrees F; spawns OFFSHORE, spring through summer
Feeding Habits: Spanish mackerel are voracious, opportunistic, carnivores. As with other members of the genus, food consists mainly of small fishes with lesser quantities of shrimp and squid. Striped anchovies, menhaden, alewives and thread herring are particularly important forage in North Carolina, Florida, Texas, and Veracruz. The percentage of anchovies consumed is higher for juveniles than for adults.
Fishing Methods: Spanish mackerel are a highly valued fish throughout their range from North Carolina to Texas. Recreational anglers catch Spanish mackerel from boats while trolling or drifting and from boats, piers, jetties, and beaches by casting spoons and jigs and live-bait fishing. Fast lure retrieves are key to catching these quick fish.

Poker is a card game with a long history, enjoyed in many different countries. Its popularity increased in the early 21st century when it became a spectator sport, with broadcasts of major tournaments such as the World Series of Poker drawing huge television audiences. It is also widely played in casinos and on online gambling websites. Poker is a game of chance, but its players try to maximize their winnings through a combination of strategy and psychology.
The rules of poker differ slightly between games, but there are certain common features. A complete hand of five cards is dealt to each player, and players place an initial amount into the pot before betting again. These initial bets are called forced bets, and they come in the forms of antes, blinds, and bring-ins. Once these bets have been made, a round of betting takes place, and the best hand wins the pot.
To play poker, you must learn to read your opponents. While some of this reading can be done through subtle physical tells, the majority of it is based on patterns. For example, if a player is very conservative and rarely raises their bets then they are likely playing good cards. However, if a player always raises their bets then they are probably playing weak hands.
Another important thing to understand is that the better your position in a hand, the more information you have about what the other players have. This gives you more bluffing opportunities and allows you to make more accurate value bets. This is a crucial part of poker strategy and should be something that all players focus on improving.
A basic poker hand is made up of four matching cards of the same rank, three matching unmatched cards, two pairs or one pair with three unmatched cards. A straight is a consecutive sequence of five cards in the same suit, while a flush is a combination of all five cards of the same suit. A full house is made up of three cards of the same rank plus two matching unmatched cards, and a straight flush is five cards of the same suit in sequence.
If you want to improve your poker skills, you should practice by playing with better players. Trying to beat the best players in the world will only result in you losing money over time. This is especially true if you don’t practice enough. Luckily, you can find a great poker coach to help you reach your goal.

Christopher Fowler's 2003 mystery novel Full Dark House, the first in his series of books featuring the unconventional detectives Arthur Bryant and John May, begins with Bryant's death in an explosion. Killing off one of the heroes in the first chapter of the first book hardly seems like the way to start a series, but in Full Dark House, as in presumably the novels that follow, the unusual becomes the expected.
May, an old man as story opens, is determined to discover who killed his partner, and he suspects it has something to do with their very first case together, some 60 years previously, when the two very young men are put in charge of the Peculiar Crimes Unit of Scotland Yard. They would seem to be the intended scapegoats for crimes too difficult for more experienced police officers to solve.
The 1940 case involves an apparent phantom of the opera, a strange creature who picks off members of the cast of a new London musical production and then disappears, seemingly through walls. These murders continue even after Bryant and May are on the scene, virtually witnesses to the crimes they are supposed to be solving.
Every few chapters we return to the 21st century and May's investigation of his eccentric partner's death. How these very peculiar crimes, including a dancers who disappears from a locked room, are solved and everything set right again makes for amusing and suspenseful reading, and I am looking forward to reading some other Bryant and May adventures.

Dear Beach Cities community,
As a local health resource in the community, Beach Cities Health District is taking a preventive approach in line with recommendations from public health officials to slow the spread of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
To protect the health and well-being of our community, we are temporarily closing our Center for Health & Fitness and postponing or cancelling all BCHD public meetings and select events, volunteer trainings, classes and workshops until the end of April.
BCHD is following the guidance of Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LACDPH), which is recommending that members of vulnerable populations who are at high risk for severe illness from COVID-19,
including older adults, pregnant women and people with underlying medical conditions or compromised immune systems,
practice social distancing immediately and avoid being in close contact with others who are ill.
In addition, the state’s public health officials updated policy on gatherings includes postponing non-essential gatherings of more than 250 people, while smaller events can proceed only if organizers can implement social distancing of six feet per person. Gatherings of individuals who are members of vulnerable populations (pregnant women, older adults and people with underlying medical conditions or compromised immune systems) should be limited to no more than 10 people, while also following social distancing guidelines.
We all have a role in the health of our community—everybody can be a leader and practice social distancing and good public health hygiene. Now is the time to support our community and support one another.
To continue to safely serve our community, we've decided to make changes to the below events and services. We will continue to monitor the situation and reassess as needed, and make updates to our website and social media channels. Staff will also be reaching out to affected groups and participants next week. We appreciate your patience.

Elaine Graham-Leigh shows how Marx's analysis of capitalism explains the climate breakdown and how we fight for system change to protect people and the planet
From the youth climate strikes to the Green New Deal, climate change has moved up the political agenda. Marx’s analysis of capitalism provides the basis for understanding how the system’s destructiveness is driving the climate crisis.
Elaine Graham-Leigh shows how Marx’s ideas explain the climate breakdown and how we can create a society that protects both people and planet. This is a manifesto for system change as well as an account of why humanity faces its greatest crisis.
Elaine Graham-Leigh is an activist and writer. She is the author of A Diet of Austerity: Class, Food and Climate Change (Zero Books 2015).

Arles-Kilcruise made it three wins from four in their ACFL Division 1 campaign, as a starring turn from Ross Munnelly helped them to a 4-10 to 2-7 win over Emo on Saturday night.
Munnelly finished the game with 2-4 as a goal in either half helped Arles on their way to a convincing win. Emo kept pace with them for most of the first half, as goals from Munnelly and Francis Egan were matched by the home side, and there was just two between them at the break.
Kilcruise had to replace Kevin Meaney at half time, as he works his way back to full-fitness, and both teams managed three points apiece on the restart as the two point gap remained.
Munnelly then pounced for his second goal to swing the game in Arles’ favour. Dermot Nolan added another before the final whistle, as Kilcruise claimed a nine point win.
In the other game played over the weekend, Timahoe picked up their first win of the campaign against the team now directly below them in the table, Ballyroan Abbey.
Ballyroan Abbey lead by a point at half time in a closely fought encounter, as a late point for Timahoe claimed a 1-11 to 2-7 victory.
Ballyroan had gotten the game’s first goal, when Sean Murphy swept home a rebound, but Robbie Foyle hit back with a goal at the other end for Timahoe.
Ballyroan got another goal in the second half, when James Keegan’s line ball was bundled over the line in a goalmouth scramble, but Timahoe held their composure to point their way to victory.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) headed into its fiscal 2021 very first quarter with higher expectations from investors. The highlight of Apple’s quarter was the launch of the iPhone 12, the tech titan’s very first 5G smartphone. Investors anticipated strong sales as wireless carriers push their 5G networks and build excitement around the new iPhones. All signs suggest Apple’s delivered on those expectations.
Here are 3 of the most noteworthy developments bolstering Apple’s stock heading into its earnings report later this month.
1. You will still need to wait around indefinitely to get an iPhone twelve Pro
It’s been more than two months since Apple introduced the iPhone twelve Pro, and clients buying nowadays still have to hold back up to three days for shipping. That might as well be forever in the age of next-day delivery. By comparison, it took just six weeks for iPhone 11 need to achieve equilibrium with supply last year, according to Credit Suisse analyst Matthew Cabral. The Apple iPhone twelve Pro observed from an angle.
The standard iPhone twelve and also the iPhone 12 Mini are a lot more readily available both in store and for immediate delivery. That suggests Apple should see a better average selling price (ASP) for the iPhone when it announces its first-quarter benefits.
Apple is reportedly ramping up production for the iPhone 12 in the earliest half of 2021. Coupled with other factors suggesting strong iPhone sales for the quarter, the higher ASP should lead to iPhone revenue greatly outperforming. And viewing iPhone accounts for 50 % of revenue, and generally closer to 60 % in the first quarter, which need to have a significant impact on its revenue versus expectations.
2. Suppliers are posting big earnings numbers
Apple’s biggest iPhone assembler, Foxconn, announced record revenue for the month of December. The Taiwanese business, which trades as Hon Hai Precision, reported sales of 713.8 billion New Taiwan dollars (about $25.5 billion) for December, and quarterly revenue of NT$2 trillion. The beat expectations of NT$1.8 trillion, as reported by Bloomberg.
Foxconn’s outperformance is additionally in line with the greater-than-expected demand for the iPhone twelve Pro. The company is the exclusive supplier of the high end products.
Meanwhile, Dialog Semiconductor raised the fourth-quarter revenue outlook of its from a range of $380 million to $430 million to between $436 million and $441 million, Barron’s reports. The chipmaker cited increased demand for 5G chips as the main reason. Considering Apple accounts for the majority of the revenue of its, it’s a very great bet those chips are actually going in iPhone 12s.
And also for late December, Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives said his Asia supply chain checks “have now exceeded actually our’ bull case scenario'” in a note to investors.
3. New documents in the App Store
Apple reported record gross sales for the App Store of its in the annual new year of its update. In the week in between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, iOS computer users spent $1.8 billion in the App Store. That’s up 27 % from year that is previous, and an acceleration from the sixteen % growth in sales of the same period of 2019. The company also recorded $540 million in sales on New Year’s Day, up almost forty % from last year. Those numbers indicate a great deal of new iPhones under the tree this year.
It also bodes well for Apple’s all important services segment — its fastest-growing and highest-margin business. The App Store is actually Apple’s most profitable service, generating yucky earnings well above its membership services like Apple Music or Apple TV. So outperformance on that front should lead to better-than-expected earnings.
Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty notes, “If we maintain the remainder of our December quarter Apple Services forecast unchanged, the latest App Store data would imply December quarter Services revenue of $14.84 [billion]… forty [basis points] in advance of consensus at $14.78 [billion].” It is most likely, however, that more potent App Store sales make the perfect indication of more potent sales of Apple’s other services.
It looks like the iPhone supercycle could be a reality this season depending on the first results we’ve spotted and other hints at need that is intense . And that’ll bolster Apple’s entire company — and the FAANG stock — when it reports its full results on Jan. twenty seven.


Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou hailed “world-class” Son Heung-min after the Korea star capped a hectic week by inspiring his club’s dramatic 2-1 win against Brighton, Saturday.Postecoglou’s side were seconds away from being held to a frustrating draw in north London until Son rode to the rescue.His superb cross provided Brennan Johnson with the chance to fire home in the fourth-minute of stoppage-time.
It was a welcome boost for Son after he jetted back from the Asian Cup this week following Korea’s shock semi-final defeat against Jordan.Postecoglou introduced Son and Johnson with 28 minutes left and the duo helped Tottenham maintain their top four challenge after Pape Sarr’s 61st-minute goal cancelled out Pascal Gross’ penalty for Brighton in the 17th minute.Paying tribute to Son for his crucial cameo, Postecoglou said: “Maybe the nation he plays for works against him but I think he’s a world-class player.”You look at his record in the Premier League, the toughest league in the world, his goal contributions irrespective of how the team’s gone through the time he’s been here have always been right up there.”Even this year, before he left, I think he was probably the best attacking player in the competition, just my opinion obviously. Certainly he’d be up there.
“He’s a world-class player. Richarlison obviously stepped up in terms of goal threat, and a few other players, but to have a world-class player for the run-in is brilliant for us.” Tottenham move up to fourth place as they battle to qualify for next season’s Champions League.Aston Villa would go back above Tottenham if they avoid defeat against Manchester United, Sunday, but Postecoglou was encouraged by his players’ spirited performance against Brighton.”Obviously Brighton were doing really well but they were working really hard to stay in the game and you know they’re going to get tired,” Postecoglou said.”The fact we could bring on two attacking players who are going to be a threat, it maybe looks simple but that ball that Sonny plays, that’s a world-class player in a clutch moment.”It’s not about confidence, I feel like with the squad we have for today and hopefully moving towards, we do have that ability irrespective of where the 메이저 game’s at, to finish games strong


InsideClimate News and NBC News spent the past nine months probing the threat that rising heat poses to U.S. military personnel and, by extension, the nation’s national security.
We found a series of preventable heat deaths and a surge in cases of heat illnesses. Overall, we discovered an uneven response to a growing problem as the military wrestles with how to train in increasingly sweltering conditions. (Here is a map showing the bases with the most heat injuries.)
The response to our investigation so far has been overwhelming, particularly in its detailed description of tragic losses during training exercises — an 18-year-old cadet in his first week at West Point, an Iraq combat veteran and father of five, a young lieutenant on his first day training to become an Army Ranger.
We want to tell your stories, too. Have you or people close to you suffered heat illnesses while serving in the military? Was their health impacted long term? Was their military career affected? Can you help provide a more complete picture of the military’s heat problem?

Tristerix penduliflorus (Loranthaceae) is a bird-pollinated mistletoe
that occurs in dry, high elevation (3700 m) habitats from southern Peru to Bolivia.
This plant, parasitic on Schinus (Anacardiaceae), was photographed near
Maras, Departamento Cuzco, in southern Peru (scale: 3.83× unopened flower
buds are typically 3.7 cm long). Although the flower color pattern suggests affinity
with other Peruvian species, molecular data indicate that T. penduliflorus
is related to three Tristerix species with more southern distributions.
One of these southern species from central Chile, T. aphyllus, appears
to have arisen in sympatry from T. corymbosus, an event accompanied by
a host switch driven by the behavior of a seeddispersing bird.


Released in 1993, Pablo Honey was the debut studio album from Radiohead. Produced by Sean Slade and Paul Kolderie, the album was recorded at Chipping Norton Recording Studios and Courtyard Studio, Oxfordshire. The album features three charting singles, "Anyone Can Play Guitar", "Stop Whispering", and "Creep". - The standout single "Creep" was the international hit that helped propel Radiohead and Pablo Honey to popular acclaim. Released several months before the album itself, "Creep" went on to define the band's early career. Also included on Pablo Honey are ethereal rocker "You", fan favorite "Thinking About You", and "Blow Out", all of which point to the band's future sonic manipulations.

CATIC Shows Off Flight Simulator
By Wendell Minnick
Beijing-based China National Aero-Technology Import & Export Corp. (CATIC) displayed the JF-17/FC-1 flight simulator in Singapore this week. The simulator is the creation of the Chengdu Aircraft Design & Research Institute (CADI) and is only the third time CADI has displayed the simulator at an international air show, said a CATIC official.
The Pakistan JF-17 Thunder is a variant of the Chinese FC-1 Fierce Dragon (Xiaolong) and the simulator is expected to be exported to Pakistan in large quantities, but CATIC officials claimed only three simulator sales to Pakistan.
Chinese officials were tightlipped about the simulator, but according to a CADI brochure, the simulator "duplicates the JF-17/FC-1 cockpit and all relevant equipment. With the sophisticated simulation software which simulates the aircraft and avionics features, it supplies an efficient environment for the pilot training." The simulator provides basic fighter training, emergency procedure training and combat mission training.
Both the FC-1 and the JF-17 were jointly designed and developed by CADI and the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex in Karma in the 1990s. The delta-winged, single-engine fighter tops out at Mach 1.7 and is seen by many defense analysts as a cheaper, more rugged competitor to the F-16.
"JF-17/FC-1 is a highly effective and low cost aircraft, and could satisfy modern operational requirements," said the CADI brochure.
The RD-93 has a basic thrust of 11,090 pounds, and with afterburner 18,260 pounds. It is a variant of the RD-33, which powers the MiG-29 fighter. However, Russia refuses to sell the engine directly to Pakistan due largely to pressure from India, which has been a loyal customer of Russian equipment for over 40 years, and China has not been able to secure an export license from Russia for the engine.
For Pakistan, the JF-17 has been a nightmare.
"The JF-17 is still unstable," said Andrei Chang, China military specialist with Asia-based Kanwa Information Center. "If India accepts the Russian MiG-35 they have the political influence to keep Russia from selling the RD-93 engine to China for use on the JF-17. Russia has only sold 15 RD-93s to China in the past five years, and rumors are Russia is hesitant."
China and Pakistan are reportedly working jointly to develop the Karakoram-8 advanced jet trainer to be in both countries with final assembly in China. Pakistan Aeronautical Complex, Pakistan's Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, and CADI began the program in 1999.
Founded in 1970, both CATIC and CADI has been successful in producing top-line fighters and helicopters, including the J-7, JF-17 and the J-10. The CATIC booth is displaying static models and brochures of the K-8 trainer for advanced and basic fighter training, the FTC-2000 advanced lead-in fighter trainer, the Y-12E light turboprop aircraft, the police-version of the Z9-H410A Multi-Purpose Civil Helicopter and the JF-17.

The ice crystals glimmered, spinning in the palm of Kira Winstiel's hand. Each crystal twisted and glistened, moving to take the shape of a snowball. Her skin tinted to a faint blue, the frost expanded from the base of the globe, stretching and twining through her arm like webs. The energy continued to converge at her palms center. Light rose from her flesh in a collection of vines with a life of their own. They licked the sides of the ball as it continued to grow and compact on itself.
Kira's lips twitched, her eyes narrowing, and her pupils consumed her jade irises until no color remained, becoming two black circles within the whites of her eyes. Fire wrapped the sphere of snow in a sheath. Kira's other hand rose from her side, her fingers beckoned the burning ice-ball closer. It rolled slowly, the remaining vines stretched to her waiting fingers. A tinge of pain struck the back of her head, severing the connection to the magic. The burning sphere evaporated in a puff of translucent white smoke as Kira turned to view her assailant.
"Quit before somebody sees you," her Aunt Emma said. She cursed under her breath, kneeling to play with the stained hem of Kira's dress. "You should have let me buy you a nicer dress when we arrived. Or at least we could've had the Spooler make you one before we left. This one—"
"Is the only dress I need or want. It's one day out of my life. When else will I wear the stupid thing? And nobody will see me. The girls are too busy flashing their natural endowments to the gentlemen. And the—" Kira looked over the table at the collection of men who'd gathered in the ballroom for the Coming of Age dance. Most gathered in small groups, sizing up the women, picking off their future wives like they were apples on a branch. Kira puffed a ringlet of hair from her forehead and looked back to her aunt. "Let's say I could get very lucky tonight if I played my cards right. Hell, even if I didn't play my cards right I might—"
"Kira." Emma sighed, lifting herself from the floor and sitting beside her niece. Time had worn her face. Tiny crevices dented the crooks surrounding her dark brown eyes, and ridges twisted and flowed along her cheeks, pulling at flesh until it drooped, empty and tired. Emma's hand brushed through thick strands of hair the color of cotton. Kira no longer remembered the original color of her aunt's hair; time had taken it as surely as it had her youth.
"I'm bored, Aunt Emma." Kira didn't enjoy whining. She found it to be a sign of weakness, but she couldn't help letting out a whimper.
"The King will be here soon and the festivities can begin."
"This is so archaic, bringing our children here like we're cattle for auction. If we wanted to make a statement we—"
"One does not make a statement like that to the King. It may be archaic, child, but it is tradition. All young men and women, in the year of their twenty-first birthday, are to be presented to the King or Queen, and their heirs, of their respective kingdom."
"Yeah, yeah. And so men can present their eligibility to the Guard, if they choose, and woman can present their eligibility to men. It doesn't matter if the King or Queen has heirs. Like the Royal family will ever pick a commoner to wed. We could just as easily find our own matches in our hometowns. Why do we need to come here to the capital, dressed in fancy clothes, to do it?" Kira huffed. "If you think for one second I'll let any here saddle me like a prized mare, you have mistaken me for some other niece."
"That's impossible to do since you're the only niece I have."
Kira slumped against the table, her chin resting on her hand while her other drummed against the cream tablecloth in a steady rhythm. She surveyed the grand ballroom as she'd done thousands of times since they first entered. Women from all over the kingdom of Morag giggled at the strapping men flexing their muscles to pick up even the smallest of items from nearby tables. Hormones floated in the air as if they were feathers from a molting bird.
Under ordinary circumstance Kira would've been happy to find herself in the castle's grand ballroom. To travel away from her village in the Glades was special enough, but visiting the castle was beyond imagination. Ornate golden frames lined the large windows that appeared to stack on top of each other from floor to arched ceiling. The sunrise bounced off the crystal chandeliers, filling the room with a glowing mixture of orange, rose, and gold. Two thrones sat on a dais at the end of the ballroom opposite the solid oak doors that led to the hall. Both stood empty, waiting for the Royal family to arrive. The grand ballroom would've been beautiful had she not been there under duress.
Voices echoed off the walls, joining the rushing wave of chattering guests. Tables lined the walls of the rectangular ballroom, laden with empty plates waiting for food to be loaded and guests to dine in the presence of the King. Servants scuttled by, filling goblets with wine and water. Members of the Guard, the order of Knights trained to protect the eight kingdoms of Aseya, stood still as stone statues. Their backs pressed against the rounded pillars on either edge of the ballroom.
"By the Gods." Kira's ears perked up at a voice whispering. She recognized the high pitched shrill despite its owner trying desperately to conceal her words. Kira sighed, closing her eyes, awaiting the typical barrage on her hair color. "Look at her hair. She has Wilder hair! It's so disgusting."
"I know. It looks like a Strawberry threw up all over her," another said.
"Not a strawberry. They say the witch swallowed fire and it tainted her hair." A third voice joined the conversation.
The three voices faded to giggles, so soft anyone else would've missed the conversation. Not Kira. Even in a crowded room, she could pick a conversation out from the masses. Kira opened her eyes and looked to her aunt. She'd turned her attention to an older man who presented his eligible son from the mountain region of Morag. The son sulked in his chair, looking as miserable as Kira. She smiled, watching her aunt's hands flail around her as she spoke. Emma had a habit of acting out her conversations like it somehow made the listener understand her better.
Kira turned her head, pretending to examine the empty seat next to her. Instead, she glanced at the three girls gathered on the dance floor a table down, still gossiping about her hair and appearance. They came from the same village as Kira and had chosen her as their personal target. One of them made a low barking noise toward Kira before following it up with a loud cackle. Her fair hair flew forward when she leaned over from her laughter. Kira didn't understand why they barked, but she didn't understand half their clever insults.
Kira grinned, the three sets of eyes moved off her and onto the debonair group of men walking past them. She couldn't see the girl's faces, but she imagined the blush flowing from their necks into their cheeks, like the color of plump tomatoes. The men stopped to gossip with the girls, one running his hand through the blonde girls hair. His cheeks dented with dimples, he flashed a pearly smile to the queen bee of Kira's torment.
She lowered her hands under the table and leaned back in her chair, slumping down so her head hardly peered over the top. Her fingers twirled in slow, steady circles. The tips tickled as if being lightly brushed by a blade of grass. She closed her eyes to conceal the changing color of her irises. Despite the darkness of her eyelids, the scene of the ballroom stood out clearly. A yellow border surrounded the people. Kira heard the beats of her heart as it thumped against her rib cage. Her breath grew shallow; she focused on the yellow surrounding the blond girl.
A pale blue light twisted along the floor in a serpents coil, wrapping around the queen bee. Air rushed past Kira, flipping the cherry curls of her hair over her shoulders. She didn't have to open her eyes to know why the room filled with the smell of singed hair and high-pitched shrieks. Her smile widened, she stopped twirling her fingers and reined in the magic.
"Kira," Emma whispered with a slight snarl.
Kira opened her eyes and shrugged. "I wasn't going to hurt her. Her hair was looking a little ragged, figured she needed a good haircut."
Kira turned to the commotion. One of the servants was busy stamping out a fire. A gust of wind had blown open one of the windows, releasing a tapestry hanging from the wall. Its edge touched the torch's flame and it blazed to life. The tapestry wandered over the tables, catching the blonde's hair. The girl now knelt on the floor, crying and wringing water from her once lustrous hair, the servant at her side holding an empty water jug. Her two minions crouched beside her. The man who'd brushed his fingers through her hair pulled her up and into his arms, patting her back.
"She should be thanking me. I made her match for her."
"You are a vindictive child. We'll talk about this later. Don't think you'll be getting away with this."
Kira shrugged, returning to strum her fingers on the table. She hated hiding a gift she was born with. Over a thousand years passed since magic last walked free in the eight kingdoms. A plague swept through the land, killing humans. The past Kings and Queens blamed it on magic users and condemned them to death. A purge seeking the extinction of all magic in the eight kingdoms began. Since then, magic was forbidden, never to be seen by anyone or anything.
Kira knew since birth what would happen if someone caught her using magic. It drove her mad not showing her true potential to the world. Even madder knowing the girls who tormented her would crawl at her feet and rue the day they met if she showed her talents. She frowned, watching the man who'd helped the queen bee to her feet, his hand locked in hers. The servant hurried away with the charred remains of the tapestry and the commotion died down. The girl bragged about her near death experience to eager ears.
"It always works out for her in the end," Kira thought. "I hate being jealous of the stupid."
Trumpets blared, shaking Kira from her thoughts. The large wood doors of the ballroom opened inward. Guests rose to their feet and bowed their heads, keeping their eyes fixed on the door. Kira grumbled as her aunt tugged on her sleeve, forcing her to stand with the others. As the sound of the trumpets faded, a man tapped a golden scepter against the marble floor, the sound echoed in the now silent room.
"Arise for his Majesty the King and the Crowned Princess of Morag. May the light of the eight Gods shine upon their rule." His voice echoed in the corners of the room.
Kira lifted her eyes enough to see the Royal family march toward the dais, trumpets blaring again in their wake. A dark purple velvet robe hung over the King shoulders, flapping behind him. The Princess held her hands against her stomach, the bulge of her belly pushed against the tight silk fabric of her dress. Her brown hair was braided in a high, elegant bun, held with pearls. Kira closed her eyes to hide the rolling motion as the spoiled brat sauntered through the room like she owned the world. Princess Sabina didn't have captivating beauty the people pretended her to have, swooning at her feet.
The Royals took their seats, gossip around the ballroom resumed. Many guests took their seats at the tables as servants brought platters of food and plated the King first. The chair beside Kira screeched as it slid out from the table.
"Rylanne, I haven't seen you since we arrived," Emma said.
Kira smiled, watching Rylanne sliding in beside her. His fine, raven hair was disheveled from its normally well-groomed status. He smiled running a hand through the strands to smooth them out.
Kira leaned in and whispered, "You have lipstick under your collar and a lovely bite mark on your neck. Did you meet a creature of the night, Ry?"
He shrugged, flipping up his collar to hide the lipstick. "I don't believe she was any creature of the night. Succubus perhaps. We didn't exactly spend time discussing our heritages."
"Have I told you you're disgusting recently?"
"Only every day since we first met."
"Good. Someone needs to remind you."
"How are you enjoying the Coming of Age dance, Rylanne? My niece is less than enthralled." If she'd heard their conversation, Emma chose to ignore it, as she commonly did. Kira knew she still held hope their friendship would grow into something more, Ry's habits with the ladies hadn't dampened that hope any.
"Anything forcing Kira into a dress is less than ideal, Ms. Fennir. But I, on the other hand, am enjoying it quite a bit." He grinned mischievously.
"I'll bet you are," Kira mumbled, plucking hay from Ry's hair.
"That's good! I do wish your value of tradition would rub off on Kira. She'll never find a suitor with a sour face all the time."
"What do I need a suitor for? Give me a sword or a bow and I'm a match for any man here!" Kira balled her hands. Ice rolled over her whitened knuckles, her magic bubbling to the surface with her anger. Ry wrapped one strong hand over hers, covering the display of magic, and leaned down.
"Easy, Kira. Play nice for tonight. I already heard rumors about a certain tormentor getting a close shave for the evening. Now I wonder how that happened?"
Besides Emma, Rylanne was the one person who knew of Kira's magical ability. When they were five, he'd fallen from a tree he climbed to watch girls bathe in the Glades. A branch gave way under his feet, sending him toppling to the ground. Kira had used her magic to grow an ivy net to break his fall, saving his life. They'd been best friends ever since. She knew part of the reason the other girls in her village chose her as their target was jealousy. Kira was the one woman under the age of thirty, and above the age of thirteen, in all the Glades Ry hadn't slept with. She was also the one woman who held his love, even if it was a platonic love. It was more than he'd given any other woman who fell victim to his charms.
She took a deep breath and pulled back her magic. It had a habit of coming to the surface with her anger. Nothing made her angrier than the tradition of presenting herself to a room full of strangers to find a husband.

Getting a tattoo hurts, but the level of pain can vary. It can feel like scratching, burning, stinging, or tingling. Some people feel sharp pains while others may describe the feeling as dull. The amount of pain you feel will depend on your pain threshold and other factors, including where on your body you're getting the tattoo, the size and number of needles being used, and the artist's style (some are quick and some work more slowly, some are more gentle than others).
When talking about badass tattoos, men often think of intimidating, sometimes morbid tattoo designs in order to project as much masculinity as possible. This includes dragon tattoos, demon tattoos, Japanese samurai tattoos, and other images usually associated with metal bands. If you need inspiration, just look up death metal or black metal album covers on Google. Don’t go for a full copy-paste, though. You might get slapped with legal issues in the future.
Laser removal is an option, says Jared Jagdeo, a dermatologist at University of California, Davis. Tuned to a wavelength specific to a tattoo's colors, "lasers are able to break apart tattoo particles," he says. The bursts of energy bust ink "from larger boulders into smaller rocks, and then into fine pebbles which then can be swept away by the lymphatic system."
Thanks for choosing this gallery of tattoo ideas! Although I do know a few girls who have chosen a tattoo designs based solely on its look, most people agree that meaning is just as important. They want a tattoo that would represent the values they hold onto, their moral code and believes. In the end, some people just want a tattoo that would reflect and represent their personality. If you belong to this latter category and believe in astrology, you should consider getting a design that stylishly depicts your zodiac sign. Welcome to our tattoo ideas website!
On the one hand, the picture on the body can even have an advantage: to cover the flaws of skin when you get old. At least some part of your body will look younger and accurate. It is up to every man to choose to get a tattoo or not. People who judge and bring this well known argument – about the look of tattoos in 30 years don’t take into account one thing.
It's not always important that a tattoo is relevant in the pop culture sense in 10 years, 15 years, or 20 years; what's important about your new ink is that it's relevant to you and you can stand the sight of it. Butterfly tattoos are the most removed tattoo in America today! OK, I just made that statistic up, but if you remember everyone rushing to the nearest tattoo parlor to get a fresh butterfly or dragonfly tattoo on their 18th birthday back in the '90s and early aughts, then you know why there may be some truth to my fictional statistic.
If you talk to a tattoo artist about it, they'll likely be able to advise you on what will and won't look good, based on experience. Unfortunately, some of the trendiest tattoos are the most difficult to keep up over time. "There are two main reasons some tattoos age better than others: the size of the tattoo and long-term sun damage," Jordanne Le Fae, of Jordanne Le Tattoos, tells Bustle. But other little variables, like line-thickness and tattoo color, also end up making a difference.
As the name of the tattoo itself contains the word scary. It means that these types of tattoo designs are quite weird in look, but successfully creates a never ending effect on the minds of the other people. These types of tattoos can be interpreted in a thousand of different ways. Most popular among them is the skull design with some roses. This form of tattoo is basically designed to scare other people and sometimes reflect the bad side of your personality.
Ancient tattooing was most widely practiced among the Austronesian people. It was one of the early technologies developed by the Proto-Austronesians in Taiwan and coastal South China prior to at least 1500 BCE, before the Austronesian expansion into the islands of the Indo-Pacific. It may have originally been associated with headhunting. Tattooing traditions, including facial tattooing, can be found among all Austronesian subgroups, including Taiwanese Aborigines, Islander Southeast Asians, Micronesians, Polynesians, and the Malagasy people. Austronesians used the characteristic hafted skin-puncturing technique, using a small mallet and a piercing implement made from Citrus thorns, fish bone, bone, and oyster shells.
The idea to get a tattoo sometimes comes unconsciously and is not well thought through. It happens, that a tattoo comes out not the way you expected it to be or the location is not the best and your boss gives you a hard time instead of a promotion. No matter what the reason, you need to remove a tattoo, the question you face is – how? Here are the modern ways to help men in such situations:
The variety is literally endless as they give the liberty to the designer to create something new at every stage of its completion, because of the fact that it is a combination of a large number of small-sized tattoos, rather than being one large and continuous one. The variation can be based not only on the elements of design, but also colors used in creating sleeve style tattoos. Some designers may make these designs in conventional colors such as black and grey, while others can go for more vibrant colors to make sure that the tattoo attracts every person who sees it and definitely demands a second look.
Tattoo sleeves often look their best colorful. Whether you opt for traditional old school tattoos, mermaid or pin-updesigns, or an armful of colorful flowers , adding vibrant details to your tattoo sleeves can really really make them pop. When you select your designs, analyze the colors as well. There's nothing worse than despising orange on your skin only to sport a huge Tiger Lily later. Often overlooked, this step is important so pay attention. Your artist isn't going to analyze or know these things about you so think about them first and speak up.
The length of an arm provides an incredible canvas for a tattooist. They have a lot of space to work with, and it gives them the opportunity to explore complex imagery that reads like a story on the skin. Or if they prefer abstraction, sleeves are the chance to create a collision of patterns. The conceptual possibilities are endless. Some artists completely cover the skin, like Little Andy who transformed the lower half of his client’s arm into a swirling galaxy. But for those that favor the minimalist approach, La Malafede showcases the impact of a single line as it traces the inside of the whole arm.
"The sun definitely takes some years off your tattoo, and if you are a frequent sunbather or cannot commit to putting sunscreen on your tattoos, you should probably stick to areas of your body that don't typically see the sun," Villani says. "[...] Beyond the initial couple weeks, the sun can still dramatically fade tattoos over time. It is so important to keep sunscreen on tattoos that are exposed to the sun." So, while your artist may give you a time period where sunscreen is most important, try to be as vigilant as possible forever, regardless.
Leave the colors to the artist. Hamlet suggests not bringing in a fully rendered drawing of the image and colors you want. The more I interview tattoo artists, the more I am coming to understand that getting a tattoo is like commissioning an artist to paint a mural. You do own the building, but you don't hand the artist a photo of another artist's mural and tell them to replicate it for you. Instead, you say your building works for peace and you want a mural that conveys that message and that you especially love lily of the valley flowers and the image of the rising sun. Then you let the artist do what they do: Create some art!
What you will find here are tattoo ideas for men like you. Not for your mother, your sister or your significant other, but for you. Yes, you can walk into many tattoo shops and find an artist that will happily guide you towards pre-drawn designs, or flash, and tattoo your choice on any part of your body. Don’t you want something more unique? When you take the time to choose the right tat, you aren’t filled with regret down the road. You aren’t paying for expensive cover-up designs. And you aren’t wasting your money on tinted creams that don’t hide freckles much less your body art.
There is nothing like a great looking sleeve tattoo on a masculine arm to draw attention from all corners. Most well done sleeve tattoos for guys make them look more masculine and exude that charming effect especially on the women. Show off your sleeve tattoo in casual social gatherings by wearing a fitting t-shirt and you will attract all sorts of people, from the admirers and artistic souls to the openly envious ones. Work out regularly to keep the arm muscles firm and the sleeve tattoo will look appealing every day.
Mainstream art galleries hold exhibitions of both conventional and custom tattoo designs, such as Beyond Skin, at the Museum of Croydon. Copyrighted tattoo designs that are mass-produced and sent to tattoo artists are known as "flash", a notable instance of industrial design. Flash sheets are prominently displayed in many tattoo parlors for the purpose of providing both inspiration and ready-made tattoo images to customers.

Barcelona/Nairobi, 6 October 2008 - A "lost' lake in Mali and a Kenyan forest that is the water tower for key rivers and lakes in East Africa are among two country projects aimed at bringing significant degraded and denuded ecosystems back from the brink. The projects are among several being drawn up and spearheaded by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), in cooperation with governments, to demonstrate that re-investing in damaged ecosystems can generate significant economic, environmental and social returns.
(Media-Newswire.com) - Barcelona/Nairobi, 6 October 2008 - A ‘lost’ lake in Mali and a Kenyan forest that is the water tower for key rivers and lakes in East Africa are among two country projects aimed at bringing significant degraded and denuded ecosystems back from the brink.
The projects are among several being drawn up and spearheaded by the UN Environment Programme ( UNEP ), in cooperation with governments, to demonstrate that re-investing in damaged ecosystems can generate significant economic, environmental and social returns.
A further project proposal is being drawn up and staff being hired to restore soils, wetlands, forests and other key ecosystem on the hurricane-vulnerable island of Haiti where environmental degradation has been linked to social unrest.
In total UNEP wants to launch pilot large-scale and nationally significant rehabilitation of nature-based assets in five countries during the run up to the next meeting of the Convention on Biological Diversity in Nagoya, Japan in 2010.
Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and UNEP Executive Director, said the projects would also serve as key adaptation measures for communities and countries facing ever more severe impacts from climate change.
“In a climate constrained world, these nature-based assets and the services they provide will become ever more central to an economy’s ability to thrive and to survive. Investments are urgently needed in hard infrastructure, from cleaner and greener energy to more intelligent and sustainable transport networks and urban planning,” he said.
“But we also need to invest and re-invest in the ‘soft’ infrastructure too - from forests and fisheries to wetlands and soils - if we are to ensure water and food supplies in a world with climate change and in a world with nine billion mouths to feed in just four decades,” said Mr Steiner, who spotlighted the initiative’s at the 5th IUCN Congress taking place in Barcelona, Spain.
Earlier this year the UN High Commissioner for Refugees said that conflicts, climate change and rising food prices were among the factors that had led to over 11 million people being classed as refugees in 2008.
The United Nations University estimates that there are now about 19.2 million people officially recognized as "persons of concern" - that is, people likely to be displaced because of environmental disasters. This figure is predicted to grow to about 50 million by the end of the year 2010.
The new projects aims to counter these trends by demonstrating that large-scale interventions in lost and fading ecosystems are cost effective ways of boosting livelihoods, economic prospects and social stability for communities, countries and even regions.
The pilots will in part build on a wealth of skills and experience acquired in both developed and developed countries in recent years on successful often small to medium scale ecosystem restoration.
Skills and expertise also gleaned by UNEP from a four year, $14 million programme to assist Iraq restore the Marshlands of Mesopotamia - an area some experts proposed was the location of the Biblical Garden of Eden.
The project, funded by the Government of Japan, has restored clean drinking water for well over 20,000 Marsh Arabs as well as boosting habitats for a wide range of species including the spawning grounds for the Gulf fisheries.
The success of the project has prompted the Iraqi government to press ahead with a push to have the marshlands listed as a World Heritage Site with support from UNEP and the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization ( UNESCO ).
Lake Faguibine - Bring It On back
The lake, a spearhead-shaped water body which at its maximum can cover close to 600 square km, has been almost totally dry since the 1970s.
The lake, linked with seasonal flooding of the third largest river in Africa: the Niger, once provided a variety of services and livelihoods to local people.
These included agriculture; dry season grazing for livestock and a fishery with a catch of some 5,000 tons of fish.
Lake Faguibine also once provided a resting and feeding site for hundreds of thousands of mainly overwintering water-birds from Europe.
In June 2008, the government of Mali requested assistance from the United Nations to support the rehabilitation of the Lake Faguibine System and UNEP dispatched a team in August.
The team have now completed their preliminary assessment of some of factors behind the loss of the lake and the benefits that are likely to accrue to close to some 200,000 mainly nomadic people living in and around the area.
These range from declining rainfall in the region, increased evaporation rates and land use changes alongside blockages and other impediments to flood waters from the Niger reaching the lake.
Indeed water levels at Dire, a town on the flooding path to Lake Faguibine, have declined by somewhere around a half since the 1960s.
The plan calls for a two phase programme. The first, two year phase involves building alliances with local stakeholders and groups and boosting the science and in-country capacity needed to take the project forward.
The second phase will include management of land and the hydrological cycle in order to bring the seasonal lake back to health. Measures may include clearing of some two million cubic metres of sand blocking the channels feeding the lake; less intensive land use regimes and more sensitive management of discharges from dams on the Niger.
Lessons from other countries and not just Iraq could be applied here.
A new management plan for the Itezhi-tezhi dam in Zambia has helped to restore the natural seasonal flooding of the Kafue flats, as shown in 2007 satellite images published in UNEP’s recently published Atlas of Our Changing Environment.
Meanwhile the expansion of wetlands resulting from a restoration project in and around Diawling National Park is helping to control flooding and improve livelihoods in Mauritania.
The total scheme for Lake Faguibine is expected to cost upwards of $12 million and several donor countries have signalled interest in taking the work forward in cooperation with the Government of Mali, UNEP and other partners.
It is expected that sources of financial support will be announced soon.
The Mau Complex - Bring It On Back
The Mau is the largest closed-canopy forest in Kenya generating goods and services worth in excess of 20 billion Kenyan shillings ( or over $320 million ) annually for the country’s tea, tourism and hydro-power sectors. It is located on the western side of the Rift Valley.
The ecosystems not only provide essential water to rivers and lakes in Kenya but also feed Lake Victoria, which is shared with Uganda and Tanzania and is part of the River Nile Basin, and Lake Natron, shared with Tanzania.
Water provided by the Mau feeds rivers that nourish major tourist destinations including the Maasai Mara National Reserve and Lake Nakuru National Park - part of a sector that employs a million people in the formal and informal sectors.
Over recent years the forest has been impacted by “extensive illegal, irregular and ill-planned settlements as well as illegal forest resources extraction,” according to a UNEP assessment.
In total over 100,000 hectares or close to a quarter of the Mau Complex has been destroyed in the past decade putting at risk livelihoods, businesses and existing and planned hydropower schemes.
The new coalition government in Kenya have, based on UNEP and partners’ aerial surveys and recommendations, decided to act to reverse the rate of loss and restore the productivity of the Mau ecosystem.
The Prime Minister of Kenya formed a Task Force in July this year which is being supported by UNEP which is currently assessing the measures needed to restore the forest ecosystems back to health.
Areas of initial action have included establishing effective enforcement and management structure; identifying the legal boundaries and assessing land ownership in the entire forests ecosystems towards resettling / relocating people alongside with resource mobilization for the strategy.
Further degradation from logging and encroaching settlements has been contained by Kenya Wildlife Service rangers and forest guards acting with the local authority and administrative police force.
A strategic management plan is being prepared along with mapping of biodiversity hot spots and critical water catchment areas.
Restoration, including re-establishment of forest plantations; the promotion of natural regeneration and “forest enrichment planting to support natural regeneration”, is expected to commence early in 2009.
Nairobi River Basin - Bring It On Back
The initiative dovetails with one to restore the health of rivers running through the Kenyan capital Nairobi.
In cooperation with the government and city council, UNEP is assisting on a ten-point plan to rehabilitate these freshwaters which have become virtually open clogged sewers; a source of disease; a blight on the landscape and an impediment to urban renewal and economic development.
The plan aims to restore the rivers back to health so they can again provide drinking water and recreation facilities while acting as ‘arteries’ for an urban renaissance..
A wide range of actions, funded by the government and the United Nations, are already underway and in the pipeline with a key source of pollution: namely a slaughterhouse, recently shut down.
Studies on illegal discharges and solid waste disposal sites are being done; measures to relocate small businesses are under discussion and a wide variety of landscaping, dredging and other projects being taken forward.
A notorious rubbish dumping site is to be moved to a safer and less sensitive location and rehabilitation proposals for sewage and drinking water treatment are being evaluated.
The Nairobi Dam, once a source of drinking water and venue for sailing, is to be a centre-piece with urban renewal designs already drawn up including the development of riverfront commercial developments and leisure facilities.

Support and Comfort
Comfort and support are two of the biggest aspects when looking to buy a new mattress.
When you lie down, there are a few things that should take place.
For one, you want the contour and sinkage to be correct, for proper spine alignment.
You also need a mattress to properly support your body, as you sleep at night.
Proper alignment of the body while you sleep is critical.
This is important to make sure you are reducing neck and back pain, as well as have a healthy sleep.
A mattress also should be a good source of stress relief, along with supporting your body.
The stress points in your body are precisely what is in control of you thrashing during the evening.
Memory foam is known for being great at both support, and being comfortable through out the night. White Bear Lake Mattress Cleaning
Should You Choose Firm or Soft?
This is pretty much the same as when we talk about comfort and support.
Just like a mattress shouldn’t be too hard, it should never be too soft.
What you want in a mattress, is one that ensures your spine and body stay in a neutral position.
Too much rigidity in a mattress will irritate the stress variables, making pinched nerves, in addition to the blood to stop flowing.
Have you ever woken with your body feeling like pins and needles? If so, there’s a great chance your mattress is too firm.
Then you have the issue of a mattress too soft, which creates a sagging effect.
This is going to cause back pain, because your spine isn’t properly aligned.
Hopefully now you understand why we want a mattress to be as close to neutral as possible.
You need your mattress soft in the right places, without being too soft.
You also need a mattress firm enough to be supportive; without being too rigid.
One of the most commonly missed over attributes of a mattress is the breathability or fever neutrality of the mattress material.
One of memory foams best features, is how they can adapt to your body.
However, foam mattresses have been known to create ‘the oven result’, when their layers start to diminish.
Which essentially just means your body heat gets caught inside the mattress, causing you to sleep hot.
Good thing is most mattress brands now use advanced technology to create special materials to prevent this.
Mattress companies want their design to sleep cool, but also provide warmth where it should, and also provide breathability.
Just like with anything, some brands are better at this than their competition.
Durability White Bear Lake Mattress Cleaning
This should come as no surprise, but when looking for a high quality mattress, it’s normal for them to come with a hefty price tag.
With mattresses being fairly expensive, you want to make sure you buy one that’s going to last you for years.
You’ll want a mattress that uses premium materials and advanced technologies, with the goal of finding a mattress that can last you a lifetime.
When shopping for a mattress, pay close attention to the warranty. Your goal should be finding a brand with at least a standard 10 year warranty.
