Coilart Lux 200 Kit Review
It's been so long since Coilart released their last one box mod, actually they kepet working greatly in atomizers and mech mod. Just few days ago,i don't remember the date exactly,they have launched the new version of mage mech mod which one can be stacked together. Well it's absolutely a great news for those mech mod fans. Of course Coilart doesn't stand still but keep releasing another one brand-new device --- coilart lux 200 kit. So how about this new device? Does Coilart bring us some surprises? Let's check it together!
Mod size: 89 X 53 X 25mm
Output wattage: 5W - 200W
Battery: 2* 18650 batteries(not include)
Display: With Display
Resistance range: 0.05Ω - 3.0Ω
Output mode: VW/TC-Ni/TC-Ti/TC-SS
TC range: 95-315℃ / 200-600℉
Thread: 510 thread
1 X LUX 200(no cells)
1 X LUX MESH TANK
1 X EXTRA TUBE
1 X EXTRA COIL
1 X USB CABLE
Honestly i really like the color of this kit, Especially the pure white drip tip and top cap of the tank. The upper part is really easy to take off, so it's comvenient to refill the juice. The bottom airholes is not too wide , But it's adjusted smoothly. There's another point is that the bottom mental piece below the adjustment ring is a little bigger, so it will cut a little if you rotate the adjustment ring with force.
Also there're two coils in this package. Both are 0.15 ohm while the best wattage is different. The best wattage of single coil M1 which pre-installed is 60w - 80w. And the other quad coils M4 is 100w - 120w. Actually i'm just wondering who intend to vape in this wattage. Personally i like 60w best, and of course i test this kit in 60w. As we all known, the increased coils number bring us so many different experiences. As for these two coils, the experience you get is abviously to distinguishi. Single coil gives the better flavor with just a puff while quad coils is not good enough. We all know that there's stronger current when you install the single coil in your tank, with much thinker cotton inside, you can see the comparision of the two coils from the picture above, the flavor is really awesome. Well as for the quad coils, you can just pursuit the clouds. And the experience is the same to this lux mesh tank here.
Differ from all those box mods in nowadays market, Voopoo Drag 2, Voopoo Drag Mini,Ijoy Shogun Univ Kit, all these hot sale devices all applied with resin material. It's not strange to see more and more resin meterial box mod released because of its delightful colors and good touch feeling. But there's no resin in this coilart lux 200 mod(The drip tip, top cap and adjustment ring are made of resin). The whole kit is made of alloy aluminium and beautiful resinforced glass. Compare to resin, this glass make the two batteries panel so smooth in hand, unique printing patterns under the glass also catch people's eyes. Thanks to this resinforced glass surface, you don't have to worry the hurtings brought by scracth. That's great design.
There's also an eagle chip in this lux 200 mod, mainly to provide some protections. At the same time, you can get few modes to select if you like,Bypass,TC,VW. I just find something interesting in the VW mode. You can select the weak, normal, strong or customize what you want. Like what you can see from the pics above. When VW mode selected, you can choose custom to make your own mode with four clicks. There's 10 seconds in this fuction you can adjust. You can select different watage in each second to make some weird output, also the feeling is weird too. Hmm,like roller coaster you know!
All in all, this coilart lux 200 kit is really a good device with sincerity. Sometimes we just don't value the performance too much but the appearance.Well the performance can't be too bad, Especially the price of this his kit reach to $89.99. With so many resin material devices in the market for now, we really need something different. Well coilart just give us this time.

Raja Ampat is called the Last Paradise on Earth, it’s the El Dorado of any underwater adventure.
Raja Ampat is located in the heart of the Coral Triangle. The Raja Ampat Marine Protected Area Network spans over 4 million hectares and includes around 1,500 islands. It has the richest marine biodiversity on Earth and its remote location that has allowed it to escape mass tourism. Therefore it is still claimed to be “the last paradise on Earth.” It’s home to more than 1,600 species of fish, while some 75% of the world’s known coral species can be found there.
Join Breathless expeditions as they adventure out on a magical expedition. There are very few places on the planet that can match the wonder that exists here, both above and below. So what better place to reconnect with yourself, nature and the power of both?
Upcoming Retreat Dates:

FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami/AP) — A Sierra Leone man is expected to appear in a South Florida federal courtroom for a bail hearing as he faces charges of plotting to ship uranium ore to Iran.
A criminal complaint charges 33-year-old Patrick Campbell of Freetown, Sierra Leone, with attempting to violate the U.S. embargo against Iran. A bail hearing was set Wednesday in Fort Lauderdale. He hasn't entered a plea.
Authorities say Campbell was working with a South Florida-based broker on a deal to ship tons of uranium ore known as yellowcake to Iran. The ore can be used for nuclear fuel or weapons.
It turned out the broker was actually an undercover U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.
Campbell was arrested in August at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. Agents found uranium samples in his luggage.

"PREHEAT PLA" makes your Anet A8 restart? Here is a real and cheap fix.
The Anet A8 is a very cheap 3D printer, and there is a reason for that: it is really cheap quality and one can have many troubles with it.
One of these trouble is that, at some point, the printer systematically reboots when the bed is triggered to heat up (Thingiverse forum thread, a YouTube video, another YouTube video, a third YouTube video).
If you are reading this article, you probably have this problem. The most commonly accepted answer to solve this problem is to change de power supply unit (PSU). Sometimes, upgrading the PSU to a 12V-500W actually fixes the problem but you have to spend around 80€ to fix a... 120€ 3D printer! The Anet A8 is provided with a 12V-320W PSU, it is largely enough. The Anet does not reboot because the PSU does not provide enough power but because the bed requires too much power from the board. The board is not able to "transfer" the power from the PSU to the bed and consequently crashes.
So, how to solve this issue for 5€? The idea is simple: power the bed directly from the PSU and use the Anet A8 board as a switch. This can be done using a relay or, even better, a MOSFET.
The schematics (use only one of them, preferably the one with a MOSFET):
PSU is the power unit. Red wire goes to V+ (12V), black wire goes to V- (GND).
Bed is the heating bed. Red wire goes to +, black wire goes to -.
Anet board bed socket is the socket on the Anet A8 mainboard where the bed should be connected. IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHICH ONE OF THE TWO SOCKETS TO USE. One of them varies, the other does not. The yellow wire is to be connected on the varying socket. It should be the left one but you'd better check before wiring (see the explanations section to know how to do that).
Left: the assembly as a whole. Right: same picture with annotations.
To design the two fixes, we had to know how the ANET controls the heating of the bed. To do so, we disconnected the bed from the Anet but only the power not the sensor so that the Anet can read the temperature and accept to heat the bed. We then make two measurements on the bed socket, that is between one of the socket and the GND of the board/PSU:
So, the Anet controls the bed heating by putting to the ground one of the connector. That will be our activation signal: when this signal is on, the bed does not heat, when this signal is off, the bed does heat.
A relay is a mechanical switch. The two circuitry are electricly independant and that's one of its main interest. The activation / signal part of the relay can use 5V to switch on and off a 220V circuitry. Its main drawback is being mechanical: it will break at some point. In our case, we trick somehow as we use the signal from the Anet on the ground pin. How does it work? The activation circuit receives 11V on all its pins. So it is off! When 0V gets to ground, it is powered. That's it.
A MOSFET is an electronic switch. The two circuitry are electricly binded for it to work. It can theoretically works forever. It is the best option if your two circuitries can use the same power source. Which is the case for the Anet A8 and the heat bed. In our case, we simply use a PNP MOSFET: Simulation with the MOSFET PNP. The perfect explanation for can be found in this article by James Lewis. In short, when the voltage from the Anet A8 and the PSU are equal, the MOSFET "turned off" because the difference is 0V. When the voltage from the Anet A8 is null, the MOSFET is "turned on" because the difference is -11V.
That's all folks, do not hesitate to comment if you have questions or if you successfullly used this hack!

How many friends do you have? 1 or 2 Maybe you have quite a few. Now think back to when you were a kid. Now, how many friends do you have? From when you were a little kid till now think of all the friends you have had. Many have come a left leaving without a trace while others linger in your mind decades later. You often find yourself wondering what happened to them. Now Thanks to modern technology you can often find many of your childhood friends and reestablish old bonds. Sadly today 20% of millennials claim they don’t have any close relationships.
Friends are amazing they make you laugh when you are down. They listen when you need an ear. They talk you into doing things you wish you hadn’t done at that moment but later you are glad you did it. We as humans need friends. We need people who push us into different points of view. They let us know that we are not as alone as we think. Without friends, we don’t have inside jokes, pranks or and the gentle ribbing that allows men to feel connected to each other.
Friends and friendship are what I want to talk about today. Why do we need them how to find them, why they go away, and how to keep the ones we really need. Most importantly how do you find new ones?
Why do we need them
Most of the reasons are stated in the opening paragraphs. Friends are those people who we have tight emotional bonds with. These are people who have gone through thick and thin with you. Many times the best friends are those who have been by your side no matter what and have often worked to make sure you are smiling through the worst of it. Interestingly, that isn’t even the half of it. Friends also provide other benefits.
- Extend life expectancy – Thanks to several studies that show that having close personal friend helps you live longer. There are thoughts as to why but the reasons are still buried. The fact that people with close friends live longer than those who live alone shows that if you want to live long you need to have your pal with you.
- Lower chances of heart disease – may be having a friend that lowers your chances of heart disease is why you might be able to live longer? Is it possible? Apparently so.
- Encouragement and Support – Your friends are the biggest cheerleaders you will ever have. They stand by us and motivate us to get that objective done. We will get it completed even if they carry us to the finish line while we are kicking and screaming to be put down.
- Self-Esteem – This goes with the encouraging and esteem, the effect that they have on us makes us feel better about ourselves and what we can actually accomplish.
- Making sure you are on your toes – with the practical jokes and doing stuff that challenges us. Our friends keep us on our toes. They make sure to push you out of your comfort zone
Why we have so few friends
When we were little and in primary school, making friends was basically walking up to somebody and asking, “Will you be my friend?” Their answer, 90% of the time, was sure. As you grew up the whole friend dynamic shifted a bit. Now instead of having a classroom full of friends, we have 1 or 2 good friends and a couple of work acquaintances. Then if you have a good marriage then your wife is your best friend. Other than that, there is not really all that many friends?
How did that happen? It seems like this is the only skill that we lose with age. When you’re young you have no fears of rejection. So we are experts in the friend-making realm. We know no stranger yet as we grow up our number of friends shrink more and more. I truly wonder why. My thoughts as to why are like this. When we are young what is our main objective? That objective is to go see our friends. We love school because one we like learning and two all of our friends are there. Our concerns are centered on our friends. We would spend time with them. We would engage with each of our friends more with our best friends but all of our friends would get some of our attention.
As we get older school work first gets in the way then other responsibilities come about till we graduate High school and move to a completely different city. Yet still making friends in College is still pretty easy. Many think that this is because of us being in such close proximity of each other. You have to have a Dormie and then there are the people you interact with on a regular basis. These people you see every day allows for you to open up and become a bit more vulnerable to them, eventually developing an often lifelong friendship. This happens in military branches too. You often have a friend or two that come out of the whole military experience. These bonds are tight and often never let up. You best friend in the army is the guy you call when you have had trouble. He was right there with you when things got real. He understands you better than most other people.
Even work can have much of the same effect you have someone who is a coworker they are always wanting us to go do stuff. Yet now there is one thing that has changed. You don’t have to unless you want to
So how do we make friends? It should be easy right? No not so much for whatever reason we often don’t want to apply the energy and time needed to make a good friend or two. The excuse of we are too busy or not enough time in the day. We meet new people and we some good effort into it the first couple of months and then we slow down. So how are you supposed to make friends if it takes so much work? Well with anything worth doing in life it takes effort.
Friendships are often mischaracterized as being these relationships that just happen naturally. Yes to a point they can naturally form but they don’t stay together unless we apply at least a little effort. Friendships are only as good as the effort that both people is put into it. So now that we know the important stuff about making friends let’s look at what type of friend you want
Type of friend you would like to have.
There is a couple of saying I love to use when it comes to friends. I use to share them with my kids as they were growing up because there is so much truth in them. The first one is
Show me your friends and I will show you your future.
The other one is an offshoot of the famous Jim Rhon quote,
You are the average of the five people you spend the most intentional time withJin Rhon
If you are wanting to be able to live the life you desire. You have to have the right friends. Often we find people who great folks but when it comes to our plans they can and often will hold us back. If they don’t hold us back they will eventually fade away. That is because neither of you is on the same wavelength anymore. We will talk more about that a couple of sections down. The point is that you want to be intentional with who your friends are going to be.
So find a person who closely resembles where you want to be in life. Then do the hardest thing you will ever do. Talk to them. Yeah, I just gave 90% of you reading this some heavy anxiety. Yet, the answer is still the same. Go talk to that person. Make it as easy and light as you can. Don’t try to make them your best friend right off the bat. Yet start talking. Don’t worry about if they don’t say anything at first. Start off with just a light conversation and then keep presenting yourself to them.
Eventually, you will be able to start having some semi ling conversations. Ask them if they would like to go to supper. You have to ask questions and be ready to answer questions. To head off the panic you may want to tell yourself that yes you are going to be open and may as well expose your hidden side. You don’t have to tell them your whole life story but you have to open up.
If you are starting a new friend’s ship you want to be open but don’t overwhelm a person will all the different trials and tribulations you have experienced. Think of it as a poker game you don’t want to show them all your cards there is plenty of time to share your life’s experience’s as the day’s stretch into years. There is a balance you want to achieve. But vulnerability is the fertilizer of a good friendship. Yet like fertilizer if you put too much out you will burn up the ground. So feed the relationship but don’t overfeed.
There is a gamble you have to take. When you open up there’s a chance that you will be rejected. It can be uncomfortable if you want to get to know someone and they don’t shy away from you. It is not a dig against who you are. But there are times that friendships don’t happen the first time. It may be a couple of years later and then you or your soon to be friend, have the right conditions for your friendship to take root.
To Be Exact
- Find a person who you believe will make you better.
- Take the time to get to know them. The relationship is a 2-way street. Take their experiences while you give yours.
- Time is the sun to your friendship it takes time and much like plants, your friendship may need a lot or a little. If there is not direct one on one time then that relationship will stagnate and often wither.
So where do you get the sunlight for this new friendship? The answer is you have to make time. We all know that you have work and home life responsibilities. Also, you have to set aside time for your friends. Get out once a week and go fishing hiking or even mountain biking. This is a great way to spend time with each other. You will, in turn, push each other and have a tighter bond through shared experiences. If you and your spouse are friends with your friend and his spouse that makes it even easier. Sometimes it may be that you are just having a beer and movie night. Once the movie is over you have a movie discussion session. Cards, are a great way to play a game and leave you space to be able to talk and grow and enrich each other’s lives.
Whatever way you spend time with new and old friends. You have to spend some time. The key is time and being open. There are times that you will have to do stuff to help them out and there are times that they help you. Those are times together, be it paying each other moving fees with beer and steaks, or you are sitting at a bar listening to them talk through a problem they are having. A small price to pay for someone who will be your confidant and help you be the best you can be.
Why do some friends leave?
There is a line in Baz Luhrmann’s Everybody’s Free to Wear Sunscreen, that says,
“Understand that friends come and go but for the precious few that you should hold on”Baz Luhrmann “Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen)”
Why does it seem that we lose so many friends? Sometimes those friends leave because we don’t nurture that relationship as we need to. It could be the distance between not only time but geography too. Their life may have taken them 2 thousand miles away. If the relationship is worth it, you can bridge that gap. Again it takes effort to keep that long-distance relationship but it is possible.
Then there are those friends who just go away. These are sometimes friends that you view as true closest and dearest friends. Yet they too sometimes have to go away. These are the friends that so many people are afraid that they are going to lose if they become better people. Yet friends have a purpose when they are in your life. When that purpose is complete then many times it is time for them to move on to help other people and the same for you. You are out to help other folks. Sometimes friends leave your life because you don’t need them anymore.
There are times that you outgrow friends. These are the folks who are from the old neighborhood who still are there. They are still complaining about the same ol’ things and think that you have changed. Funny thing is you have changed. You have changed for the better and this often makes old friends who are sadly not going anywhere uncomfortable. They didn’t pursue their desires as you did. That can make them see what is possible or it can make them react unfavorably.
It is sad when a friendship has cycled out of its use. Yet it can be bittersweet because you are improving and you are acquiring new friends. While you also are seeing your old friends miss their potential.
So, though friends do come and go take the time to make as many as you can. Think of it as you seeing how many people you can get to come to the church for you when your funeral happens. You don’t want a small service you want one that celebrates the great and wonderful life you had. What problem do you have with making friends? Let me know in the comment below or if you like I can coach you through making a friend or two. I can help you here also

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Manchester United are facing an "impossible" fixture pile-up - which includes a crunch clash with Leicester City.
United clinched a place in the final of the Europa League on Thursday night by completing an 8-5 aggregate victory over Roma in the last four of the competition.
They lost 3-2 on the night in Italy but their emphatic 6-2 win in the first leg had given them an unassailable advantage.
Solskjaer was delighted to remain in the hunt for some silverware this season - but his celebrations were tempered by the hectic schedule that awaits them.
On their return to England, it will be a quick turnaround as United prepare to face Aston Villa at Villa Park in the Premier League on Sunday (May 9, 2.05pm kick-off).
That is followed just a couple of days later by a showdown with Leicester at Old Trafford on Tuesday (May 11) in a battle between second and third in the table.
Then, the rescheduled home match against Liverpool has been squeezed in on Thursday, May 13, after the initial fixture was postponed on Sunday following protests against United's owners.
After that, Solskjaer's men take on Fulham at Old Trafford on Tuesday, May 18, before rounding off their league campaign away to Wolves on Sunday, May 23.
And now they have the Europa League final to look forward to against Villarreal on Wednesday, May 26. That will be played in Gdansk, Poland.
“We’ve been dealt a very bad hand and I’ve just got to do what I have to do," said Solskjaer after the Roma match. "Let’s see how we’ll deal with it.
"Two games in three days, or three games in five is very, very difficult. Four in eight is impossible.”
Asked if his players were fit, Solskjaer replied: “I hope so. We’re going to need everyone anyway in these four games and we’ve just got to see how they are on Sunday morning.
"We play at two o’clock on Sunday, so that’s a short turnaround, but we’ll have to be ready and that’s just how it is.”
United are currently second in the Premier League table, 13 points behind champions-elect Manchester City, with a game in hand, four ahead of third-placed Leicester and six clear of fourth-placed Chelsea.

The Foxes are in action tonight (Friday, 8pm) against Newcastle United at the King Power Stadium, before next week's visit to Old Trafford.
Then comes the FA Cup final against Chelsea on Saturday, May 15, which is followed by a crucial league showdown with the same opposition on Tuesday, May 18.
Brendan Rodgers' men then round off their campaign at home to Tottenham on Sunday, May 23.


Today, I sat down and logged onto Facebook; my mother and sister had posted two video links on my page. One was “Do the Bartman” (this was the first record I bought), and the second a link to “Space Cowboy” by Jamiroquai. The former made me smile, but the other set me in a reflective mood.
These last few weeks, if not months, has been especially testing for me. Being an aspiring writer is like battling a mental illness; you doubt yourself, you worry that all the hours spent writing won’t amount to a thing, and you struggle to find the time to turn the tons of notes and ideas into something tangible. At work, one of my colleagues has been dismissed for something I don’t think I’ll go into here – this has started a wave of mistrust, investigation, and quiet rage from those affected.
Anyway, as I listened to Space Cowboy, it brought up all the feelings, dreams, and hopes I had back when I was in early teens. It felt good, and I slowly realised that I am a very different person from the always-smiling teen that used to wear his heart on his sleeve almost 18 years ago. Back then, I was untainted by the bangs and knocks of emotional involvement, and I think I used to pride myself on my unconditional friendship that I would give to others. I’d think about the girls I was “in love” with – and this was more than just how I’d like to have sex with them. It was about falling in love, being with them, about the possible future with them. I was quietly confident in myself, my abilities, and my goals.
In short, I was a more soulful and reflective person in my teens – maybe even a more well-rounded person. The kid who would listen to Jamiroquai and think about good times and vibes is now a man fairly removed from his core ideals, and this bothers me more than any of my NLP-discovered home truths. I have no time for those who ask but do not give, I have dismissed those who don’t display what I deem as friendship, and I don’t consider about the spiritual side of myself and the world, so much so that it is almost a faded memory. I worry about my health and my abilities. That isn’t me.
Based around a phrase I saw on t’Internet a few days back, I’ve made little agreement with myself; to stop being so judgemental and unhappy with everything around me, and to get awesome instead. Need to raise my game a bit, be a better member of the human race, and to be the best Howard I can be.

The Lord Jesus Christ will always Confirm His Word
by Sam Sweg
Mark 16:20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs.
The Lord Jesus Christ will always Confirm His Word (Bible) with Healing, Signs Following. He is The Living Word of God. His Word is His Promises to you! He cannot lie and His Word will never fail or return void. He will not confirm false religious doctrines of men with Signs following. This is the reason Why many denominations and churches are powerless and dead without a move of The Spirit of God! A hungry heart for God’s Word will bring His Power.
Isaiah 55:1 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
John 15:7 “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you
He will not confirm anything that is not in His Word. The more you know and Believe His Word ( Bible) the Greater your Faith and your answered prayers will be. The True Word of God is Spirit and Alive. All The Angels of God will only obey and Confirm His Holy Word (Bible). Many prayers are never answered because they are not based on the Word of God but through false religious teaching. Jesus will only Confirm His Word.
You must find and Believe scripture that backs up and confirms your desires. God Almighty and all of Heaven is Glorified when The Word of God is confirmed. When you Believe Him and His Word. The Word is confirmed and energized in your spirit. The Lord Jesus will Confirm The Word with Signs following and will bring to life your needs and desires. If your prayer is not in His Word He cannot confirm it. His Promises are based on His Word and it will never change for all of Eternity. The Word of God is His Will. To know His Will is to know His Word! (Bible).
1 John 5:14-15 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him
John 6:63 “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
The New Testament of The Bible is The Lord Jesus Christ’s Holy Word and Promises to you Guaranteed by His Blood to every Born Again Believer. Jesus is The Word of God and all things were made and created through Him. There is nothing Impossible for Him and He will Confirm His Promises through His Divine Word to you if you will Believe and live through His Word.
The Lord Jesus would Always Say do not doubt only Believe and All things will be Possible!
John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made
1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.

Every time I watch the new “90210,” I have a very distracting thought—Trevor Donovan, who plays Teddy on the show, looks life a walking, talking version of Ken. I mean, give the man some hair gel and he is good to go. So I was highly amused today when I heard that he had met with producers about the possibility of playing everyone’s favorite plastic hunk without junk in a live-action movie. My next reaction was—wait, someone’s making a live-action Barbie movie?
Apparently, the answer is yes. Keep reading »

I liked using a sheer layer on top as the stitches show through from below and was pleased with how the batik type middle
layer blended into the background. As mentioned on my working
sheet, I deliberately layered up a shape with five lines of symmetry and another with four as I usually have a tendency to go for very balanced designs.
The stab stitch/ cross stitch edging on the middle layer was
completed in a space dyed thread and I feel this pulls the whole design together.

A question we received:
I have been wondering why women look so old for their age and men look so young? In light of what you have just explained, does it mean that women are more active during this later, receptive stage in their life?
Yes, partly because of others' expectations. If she has been nurturing and caretaking others for years, they will in all likelihood continue to expect this from her. It's a hard habit to break unless everyone cooperates. In addition, women have been more closely connected to planetary cycles and the Earth is going through the exact same dilemma: she needs to be receiving, because her giving days are over, and if we continue to expect her to only give, she becomes depleted. She ages.
To be continued...

Our most advanced oncology drug candidate is Pracinostat, a potential best-in-class oral histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor. Following positive results from a Phase II clinical study in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), Pracinostat is poised to move into an international Phase III study in patients with newly diagnosed AML who are unfit to receive induction therapy.
In August, we entered into an exclusive licensing, development and commercialization agreement with Helsinn Healthcare, SA, a Swiss pharmaceutical group focused on building quality cancer care products. The deal provides the complementary resources from both organizations to rapidly advance Pracinostat into the Phase III AML study and expand into additional indications, including high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
Under the terms of the agreement, Helsinn was granted exclusive worldwide rights to Pracinostat and is responsible for funding its global development and commercialization. As compensation, we receive near-term payments totaling $20 million and will be eligible to receive up to an additional $444 million in potential regulatory and sales-based milestones, along with royalty payments on the net sales of Pracinostat.
Including MDS along with AML in the development plans was a critical component to this deal, as it significantly increases the market opportunity for Pracinostat. David Urso, JD, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development & General Counsel
As part of the development and commercialization agreement, we are also collaborating with Helsinn to explore an optimal dosing regimen of Pracinostat in combination with azacitidine for the treatment of high-risk MDS. Based on our own clinical experience with the combination, we believe that an optimized dose and schedule may show considerable promise in MDS, an indication with a significantly higher addressable patient population than that of AML. This Phase II clinical study is anticipated to commence in the first half of 2017.
Helsinn is an ideal strategic partner for Pracinostat, with the capital resources to aggressively fund its late-stage clinical development and the commercial organization to market the drug. In addition to a strong commercial presence in the U.S., Helsinn has created a significant global network of 70 commercial partners in 90 countries. The company’s market leading antiemetic, Aloxi®, is often used by patients receiving azacitidine, so its commercial organization is already well positioned to market Pracinostat. Most importantly, Helsinn shares our enthusiasm for improving the lives of patients with cancer and bringing Pracinostat to those in need.

I was wondering, what are the limits of Fist of Unbroken Air in D&D 5e?
Like, does the 10ft push apply to all size categories? If I'm trapped in a cave-in or under an avalanche, can I use it to blow a hole so I can escape? If so, how big is the hole? Can I use it to blow back a thrown weapon, as a readied action?
These are just some of the questions in my head.

The first new text at the Libertarian Library site is a long essay by Steven T. Byington, from the pages of Dora Marsden's journals, The New Freewoman and The Egoist. (Anyone interested in these journals should check out the Modernist Journals Project, which I, for better or worse, discovered the day after I dedicated a day in the library to them.) In it, his thesis is this:
If one person injures another by making the material environment unfit for that other's use, the injury should be regarded as on the same level with a direct assault on another's person or on the products of his labour.And the treatment is both interesting and presented in an entertaining manner. The questions raised are, I think, more or less the tip of the iceberg when it comes to exploring this sort of injury, which means, of course, that the difficulties encountered are probably just the most obvious. I think there's considerable food for thought in the piece.

This is the story of what happens when you accidentally track a pumpkin seed into the garden. We plant pumpkins in the garden but they have specific beds to grow in. Somehow a pumpkin seed from our compost bin got stuck to someone’s shoe and it got planted right in the middle of the garden, right in the onion bed. It changed everything.
There wasn’t much we could do by this time. The plant was the world’s official (not official) biggest pumpkin plant ever and there were pumpkins starting to grow. I have a big pumpkin loving heart, so what was I supposed to do? Kill the pumpkins? No way. So instead we let the plant grow. We let the pumpkins grow. We let it take over the garden. We couldn’t use our walkway anymore. We had to jump from bed to bed.
The story has a good ending though. That ending is lots of pumpkins. No seriously, lots of pumpkins. Not only is this the world’s official (not official) biggest pumpkin plant ever, but this single (!) plant gave us more than 10 giant pumpkins. How is this even possible? How could one plant produce so many pumpkins? I have no idea, but I’m thankful the Surprise Pumpkin Plant picked our garden to grow in.

Ironing workers in garments factories exist in a workplace environment with some factors that reduce worker’s comfort while performing. These circumstances might affect in a way or another workers’ health and safety which eventually reflects on the quality and efficiency of production. The purpose of this study was to analyze the functional requirements of ironing workers uniform and propose five designs for the uniform and assess them in accordance with the nature of the performance and tasks for workers. The study followed the descriptive approach in describing the nature of the work environment in the ironing section and analyzing work tasks and clothing needs for the ironing workers. Survey data were collected from ironing workers in garment factories in Mecca region of Saudi Arabia and experts in the field of clothing and textiles. The findings of this study indicate that the sample of the workers revealed some of workers preferences toward workwear and experts agreed on the third proposed design of the uniform in terms of design and functional aspects which ranked first among the other proposed designs. The study presented a number of recommendations, including: conducting further studies to determine whether the clothing needs of ironing workers differ in areas different from the study, adopting the research methodology (DeJonge method) as a method for designing functional clothing and creating innovative solutions to the work uniforms problemsand Studying the aspects of external factors or stress that may affect workers while performing duties in the garment factories.

PRAGUE: Czech cinema had a good year in 2017, with international success of both feature films and documentaries, a film fund effectively supporting the development and production of numerous quality films, a growing number of coproductions, returning international film crews shooting on Czech locations and excellent box office results.
Among the most important titles shooting in 2017 were several period films, including Painted Bird / Nabarvené ptáče, directed by Václav Marhoul and produced by Silvescreen, Jan Palach, directed by Robert Sedláček and produced by Cineart TV Prague, and Toman by Ondřej Trojan, produced by Total HelpArt T.H.A..

There were also numerous foreign productions shooting in the Czech Republic in 2017. Unique Czech locations, the experience and expertise of the Barrandov Studio, which hosts one of the largest costumes and props rental houses in Europe, are constantly attracting big and small productions.
The year 2017 saw a boom of German TV productions shooting on Czech locations. According to Helena Bezděk Fraňková, the Director of the Czech Film Fund, 14 television films and series spent over 33 m EUR / 850 m CZK in nearly 400 filming days in the Czech Republic. “German television productions have in recent years been our most loyal ‘clients’ and Germany clearly surpasses other countries in terms of the number of foreign projects shooting here”, Helena Bezděk Fraňková said.
The eight-part series Das Boot, directed by Andreas Prochaska and produced by Bavaria Fiction, is the biggest German production shot in the Czech Republic since the introduction of incentives in 2010. Stillking Films provided services. Out of the total budget of 25 m EUR, about 14 m EUR were spent at the Barrandov Studio.
Other German productions shot in the Czech Republic in 2017 were: Der Prag-Krimi, directed by Nicolai Rohde and produced by Schiwago Film GmbH, the Charité series, directed by Anno Saul, produced by UFA Fiction for ARD and serviced by Mia Film, and the two-part thriller Walpurgis Night, directed by Hans Steinbichler, produced by Wiedemann & Berg Television GmbH & Co. KG for ZDF and serviced by Czech Wilma Film.

Many important feature films released in 2017 were inspired by events and personalities from the Czech history.
Jan Svěrak´s Barefoot / Po strništi bos, produced by Biograf Jan Svěrák Pictures, became the best attended Czech film in 2017. Jan Svěrák returns to the war childhood of his father, Zdeněk Svěrák, and makes a prequel to another extremely popular film of the Svěráks’ tandem, The Elementary School / Obecná škola (1991, Barrandov Film Studio).
A Prominent Patient / Masaryk, directed by Julius Ševčík and produced by In Film, premiered in the Berlinale Special section of the 2017 Berlin IFF. This drama, focusing on the controversial figure of the Czech Minister of Foreign Affairs Jan Masaryk in the 40´s, was domestically released by Bioscop in the spring of 2017.
Milada, directed by David Mrnka and produced by Loaded Vision Entertainment, was released by Bohemia M.P. in 2017 and is available in numerous language versions on Netflix, which co-funded its production. The film is based on the tragic story of the politician Milada Horáková, who was unjustly sentenced and executed during Stalin's political processes in the 50s.
The medieval road movie Little Crusader / Křižáček, directed by Václav Kadrnka and produced by Sirius Films, won the Crystal Globe for best film at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival 2017.
Ice Mother / Bába z ledu, directed by Bohdan Sláma and coproduced by the Czech company Negativ, Slovakia’s Artileria and France’s Why Not Productions, was voted as the Czech Oscar bid in the Foreign Language Film category in 2017. The film was distributed in the Czech Republic by Falcon.
Among the most interesting documentaries in 2017 were Červená by Olga Sommerová and Miroslav Janek´s Universum Brdečka, both produced by Evolution Films and released in cinemas by Aerofilms.
Minority coproductions also had a successful life at festivals. Czech minority coproduction Spoor / Pokot, directed by Agnieszka Holland and produced by TOR Film Production, was awarded the Alfred Bauer Prize for Artistic Contribution at the Berlin IFF 2017.
Little Harbor/ Pátá loď, directed by Iveta Grófová and produced by Silverart and endorfilm, won the Crystal Bear for best film of the Children's Jury in the Generation Kplus section of the 2017 Berlin IFF.
Filthy / Špína, directed by Tereza Nvotová and produced by Bfilm and Moloko Film, premiered at the Rotterdam IFF.
There are seven distribution companies in the Czech Republic with a market share of over 1%.
In 2017, Falcon, the distributor of some major US studios’ productions and also high-profile Czech films, had 32.1 % market share and replaced the last year’s top distributor Cinemart, which had 29, 2% market share. Vertical Entertainment (Freeman) ranked third with 16.8%, followed by Bioscoop/AQS with 11.5% market share.
EXHIBITION AND BOX OFFICE
The year 2017 was very good for Czech cinemas. Although the results slightly decreased compared with 2016, it was still the second best year in the history of the independent Czech cinema market.
Total admissions were 15,233,432 and total box office was 78,814,200 EUR / 2,004,245,131 CZK, compared to 15,621,923 admissions and 79,081,565 EUR / 2,011,044,198 CZK in 2016.
However, there was a considerable drop of over 10 percent in the admissions to domestic titles, which reached only 20 percent of the total admissions in 2017.
The most attended Czech film in 2017 was Jan Svěrak´s Barefoot / Po strništi bos with 505,282 admissions and 2.55 m EUR / 64,813,015 CZK gross. The film was distributed by Bioscop.
There were three Czech films in the admissions top ten: Barefoot, the comedy River Rascals / Špunti na vodě directed by Jiří Chlumský, produced by Fresh Lobster in coproduction with Fénix Film, Sibira Pro and Fénix Distribution (distributed by Bioscop), and the 2016´s hit Angel of the Lord 2, directed by Jiří Strach, produced by Marlene Film Production and distributed by Falcon .
A total of 284 new releases hit Czech cinemas in 2017, of which 56 were Czech titles.
The average ticket price in 2017 was 5.18 EUR / 131.57 CZK (compared to 5.07 EUR / 128.73 CZK in 2016).

In 2017 the market share of multiplexes, counting 256 screens and 44,464 seats, reached 75.4%. The largest multiplex cinema operators are Cinema City and Cine Star.
GRANTS AND NEW LEGISLATION
The Czech Film Fund remains the main tool for public support of Czech cinema. The funding is granted in 10 areas: development, production, distribution, promotion, technological development, publications, education and training, festivals and events, protection, preservation and access to film heritage. The fund also supports the activities of film offices in the Czech Republic, helping Czech and foreign filmmakers to shoot in various regions of the country.
In 2017, the Czech Film Fund issued a total of 36 calls for domestic grants with the total funding of 14.6 m EUR / 370 m CZK, of which 11.3 m EUR / 287 m CZK (80%) was earmarked for Czech film development and production of all film genres, including minority coproductions.
The most important films supported in 2017 were: My Sunny Maad, directed by Michaela Pavlátová and produced by Negativ and France’s Sacrebleu Productions (744,000 EUR / 19 m CZK); Šarlatán, directed by Agnieszka Holland and produced by Marlene Film Production (509,000 EUR / 13 m CZK); Opravdoví bratři, directed by Petr Nikolaev and produced by Daniel Severa Production (587,544 EUR / 15 m CZK); Kryštof, directed by Zdeněk Jiráský and produced by Fulfilm (528,790 EUR / 13.5 m CZK) and Jan Palach ,directed by Robert Sedláček and produced by Cineart TV Prague (430,865 EUR / 11 m CZK).
Since the introduction of the new law in 2013, the Czech Film Fund has also administered the Czech incentives scheme. The incentives are granted in the form of a 20% cash rebate on Czech production costs and 66% on the withholding tax on non-resident labor costs paid in the Czech Republic. The incentives are available for feature films, TV and animation series, animated and documentary films. Maximum eligible costs are set at 80% of the total budget.
The pre-condition of eligibility for the incentive is the minimum volume of the Czech cost:
555,000 EUR / 15 m CZK for a feature, animated or TV film (minimum runtime 70 min.) 74,000 EUR / 2 m CZK for a theatrical documentary (minimum runtime 70 min.) 295,000 EUR / 8 m CZK for a TV episode (minimum runtime 30 min.) 147,500 EUR / 1 m CZK for an animated episode (minimum runtime5 min.)
The amendment to the audiovisual law approved in May 2016 came into effect on 1 January 2017. An improved incentives scheme was introduced, which makes the system more flexible for film productions.
The rebate is no longer subject to a yearly cap. Producers can register the project at any time during the year and immediately receive a registration certificate. Upon receiving the registration certificate, the producer can apply for the allocation of the rebate. The timing of the application is important. Within four months after the application is filed, at least 10 shooting days must be completed in the Czech Republic. Rebates are allotted throughout the year, depending on the beginning of production. For animated films, if shooting in the Czech Republic is longer than 10 days, producers are able to receive their grants in two parts: first upon the completion of the shooting in the Czech Republic and the second part after the completion of all Czech production.
Large amounts of incentives were allotted in 2017 to: Carnival Row (10.3 m EUR / 261 m CZK), directed by Paul McGuigan and Anna Foerster, produced by Legendary Television, Ophelia (1.7 m EUR / 42.6 m CZK), directed by Claire McCarthy and produced by Covert Media (US), Bobker / Kruger Films (US) and Forthcoming Films (UK), both with Stillking Films servicing, and the Czech production Jan Palach (294,000 EUR / 7.5 m CZK), directed by Robert Sedláček and produced by Cineart TV Prague.
The National Film Archive handles both domestic and international sales of films made in Czechoslovakia before 1991 and produced by Barrandov and Zlín film studios (both state owned at the time).
The Czech Film Center is in charge of the promotion of Czech films abroad and is the official national representative of Czech cinema and film industry at key film festivals and markets. The Czech Film Commission is the official film office supporting and promoting audiovisual production in the Czech Republic. Both institutions are a part of the Czech Film Fund.
There are three major TV groups in the Czech Republic, reaching a cumulative market share of approximately 80% in the target group of viewers 15+ in 2017: the public TV Czech Television with a market share of 29.26%, NOVA group with 30.26%, Prima group with 20.76% and Barrandov TV with 8.91%.
TV companies are introducing new channels in order to compensate for the declining audience of flagship stations. The Czech Television currently runs six channels: CT1, CT2, CT24, CT sport, CT:D and CT Art.
NOVA group channels include NOVA, NOVA 2, NOVA Cinema, NOVA Action, NOVA Gold, NOVA Sport and NOVA Sport 2.
Prima group consists of Prima Family, Prima COOL, Prima LOVE, Prima ZOOM, new Prima MAX and Prima Comedy.
TV stations also increased the number of programmes available on the internet, bringing them to a larger audience. TV NOVA has its video library Voyo.cz, Prima group runs PrimaPlay.cz, while the Czech TV offers its programmes via iVysílání.cz.
The market for TV advertising is dominated by Nova and Prima (90%), while advertising on the Czech Television is limited to a minimum by the law. The television is traditionally the strongest advertising medium in the country.
Television stations play a large role in the production of quality content for local film and TV productions. The Czech TV has become a permanent partner of Czech cinema, with its in-house production sector Film Center coproducing many feature films, including the already mentioned high-profile films Barefoot, Little Crusader, Jan Palach or Garden Store. The Czech TV is also a coproducer of almost all documentaries released in the cinemas.

Many Clevelanders know the "Sax Man" as a downtown mainstay. But few people in town know more about him than that. A group of local filmmakers hopes to change that with a feature-length documentary due out next year. We talked wtih director Joe Siebert about Maurice Reedus Jr. — the sax man's real name — for details on how the film evolved and the challenges of getting it out there.
How did you first hear about Maurice, the Sax Man?
He first popped up because my friend John Pope, who's the cinematographer for the film, went to a Dredg concert several years ago and the band I guess had a sax player who was ill or couldn't make the show. They had a part in one of their songs that needed a solo so they decided why not invite the sax guy from outside on the streets to come up and play? They brought him on stage and Maurice played and John was just really taken by the character that was up on stage — the guy who just came up off the street and started wailing — so he approached him afterwards and said, "Hey, I'm a local filmmaker and I just was really intrigued by what you just did and you seem like an interesting guy, would you be interested in my friends and I doing a documentary on you?" He said yeah, and that's where it all got started. The first time I met Maurice was at a pizza shop in March 2010, for an actual introduction and to sit down and talk with him about his life story.
What is it about him that led you to want to make a full length feature on him?
First, we realized his past had a lot more richness to it than you would guess by just passing him on the street: his father was a Grammy award-winning saxophone player who played with the Robert Lockwood Jr. All Stars, and Maurice, himself, was a member of the Motown band Sly, Slick & Wicked who played together in the 70s. He had his time in the limelight where he really could have been a big deal in that world. The second thing, story-wise, was there was a time we came to a realization that there's no small crowd of people you can pass in Cleveland that there won't at least be one person who knows "the sax man," and they always say the same thing: that he's been playing out here for years, when I was a kid I remember him outside the ballgames, he's just a fixture in the city; there's a kind of love and endearment the city seems to have due to him being out there for the past 20 years. It's not just a story about a guy who had a history and looks interesting on the street, there's actually a heart to it, and that's what really set it off for us that there's a lot more here for us to tell than kind of just a goofy profile piece. The third component is he's just a genuine individual, he an open book, he's transparent, he's out there because he loves playing for people, he loves his saxophone — it's his life — he's not out there just putting on a show.
So where are you now with the movie?
Right now, we have our final cut locked and we're working on post-production to finish as far as coloring and sound. Also, we're doing a little bit of extra fundraising to get some money for music licenses. One of the tricky things with this particular project is by nature of what he does, he's out playing other people's songs on his sax, and the climax of the film is this concert where he's playing other people's songs on stage, so it's just unavoidable as an added expense for what we're doing. We're simultaneously trying to get the final polished and trying to get the licenses and rights all lined up and we're starting to get our festival submissions right now. We're hoping for it to come out at Sundance or some other big festival some time in early 2014.
The trailer you put up has a Searching for Sugar Man kind of vibe to it — discovering the wild background of a musician and then putting on a concert. What kind of docs are you into?
I'm one of those guys who watches those social, political, cultural issue documentaries. I actually started making myself watch more narrative documentaries because of taking this project on. Some of the ones that stood out as what we want to aspire to as far as telling somebody's story: Man on Wire was phenomenal. Exit through the Gift Shop was another one.
So how many hours of footage did you have to edit down from?
Hours-wise, I don't know, but I do know that we have six or seven terabytes of footage over the past year and a half. It was one of the most harrowing tasks of all just sitting down with it. Fortunately there had been quite a lot of time spent of the front end developing the story. It was an interesting process, because it was a hybrid of a true documentary. We knew where we wanted to take this story and where we wanted it to end up, so there was kind of a structure already in place that when we went out and shot we knew what we were looking to get. But at the same time, you just don't know what's going to happen when you're out there shooting, so stuff pops up that ends up in the film that you never planned on, but you have to roll with it. There's a balance of following the structure you set on the front end but then being adaptable enough to let it develop organically as you're putting it together and realizing something that you may never even intended on making it in actually speaks to what you're trying to say better than anything else you could have planned.
How much money are you trying to raise?
That's a difficult question at the moment. We're actually working on trying to get the pricing from the different publishers [for the music licenses] and such. We've kind of put the ballpark around $35,000 to $50,000 hoping that it covers that, but you never know. At the end of the concert, Maurice spontaneously breaks into a rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" that was just a magical moment that captivated everybody and we end the film with that because it's so powerful. That's something that wasn't planned, but it's in there and god knows how much a license for that would cost. We're doing the best we can to raise as much as we can to make sure we don't have to compromise on moments like that.
Once everything is done, give me a pitch for why people should come see it.
For the Cleveland audience, people should come see it because what this film does is put Cleveland in a framework that really highlights the importance of community and togetherness in our particular city; he's kind of the symbol of that in this film, for not giving up when you're down and keeping up with your passion. For a city like Cleveland that has seen its share of hard times, I think he's a good metaphor for how the city keeps moving forward despite the circumstances. Beyond Cleveland, it has a universal human message that true success isn't necessarily making the millions of dollars and having your name known, it's about finding a way to really take your deepest passions and meet the world around you to make the difference you can.

In the spirit of the ancient Greek agora and Enlightenment salon culture, the Public Sphere strengthens community by revitalizing the art of conversation, fostering the exchange of ideas and meaningful social interaction in physical space. We organize salon events across the world that actively engage citizens in critical issues shaping society, culture, art and politics.
The Public Sphere’s mission is to contribute to the betterment of humanity by creating stimulating intellectual environments and poetic experiences that re-enchant the world and advance principles of participatory democracy through sustained discourse and new encounters in the collective pursuit of knowledge and fellowship.
A salon is a social gathering in which individuals come together to engage in the art of conversation and exchange ideas in pursuit of knowledge and fellowship. In a salon, a salonnière, an expert moderator, facilitates a shared discussion on a selected idea or issue in any field from the arts, sciences and culture to philosophy and politics.
Salon culture began in 16th century Italy and blossomed in 17th and 18th century Enlightenment Europe. Salons were traditionally founded on principles of egalitarianism and freedom of expression. They played a critical role in the development of a democratic, debate driven Public Sphere in Europe and were the catalyst of important intellectual, political, and artistic movements.
We organize many activities around the world, from regular city salons, to country festivals, salonnière training days and outreach initiatives. Our events are free, and open to the public and all are welcome to join our community. We encourage a diversity of backgrounds, interests, and ideas to be expressed.
We host salons around the world on various topics in areas such as philosophy, literature, politics, art, and culture. We bring people together to discuss ideas with the objective of creating community and advancing intellectual movements or projects relevant to the 21st century. Our salons normally begin with a presentation by a distinguished speaker with specialized knowledge on the topic. Thereafter, salon participants converse on the topic with loose moderation by the salonnière and a “conversation menu” to stimulate discussion. The event usually concludes with chamber music, related to the topic, played by some of the finest professional musicians from around the world. Our salons takes place primarily in private homes, in keeping with the salons of the Enlightenment, but also in varied settings from parks and cafés, to castles, museums, and art studios.
We host salon festivals in beautiful locations around the world. They serve as retreats that stimulate the intellect, catalyze new friendships and reconnect participants to nature. We combine thoughtful travel and adventure with intellectual salons, classical concerts, dancing, nature walks, and art events.
We are committed to helping preserve beautiful architecture and spaces of historical significance. Our festival locations are carefully chosen for their aesthetic sublimity and intellectual history. Past festivals have taken place in spaces where Nietzsche, Rilke, and Mann, among others, worked and found inspiration.
We empower people to foster community in their city and make culture and ideas accessible to the public by offering free salonnière training. We help salonnières create and sustain their salon, offering resources, guidance, and support throughout the process.
We are committed to making our salons accessible to a greater public and fostering a welcoming and inclusive space for discourse that furthers the foundational principle of egalitarianism that the salonnières of the 17th and 18th century aspired to achieve. We work to reach a diverse audience so that all know that our cultural resources and community are available to them free of cost.
The Beautiful Soul, our online forum, publishes reflections on the topics and ideas debated in the salons of The Public Sphere by our speakers and participants. Inspired by the periodicals of The Republic of Letters in the age of Enlightenment, it promotes a shared commitment to intellectual enlightenment, moral cultivation, aesthetic sensibility and human community.We invite readers to contribute responses to the written work in the comments section to foster continued dialogue and sustained engagement with ideas amongst a critical public.
In keeping with the history of salons, we run a Salon Artists & Musicians in Residence Programme in which we invite artists and musicians to present their work in the salon and on our forum The Beautiful Soul. Visual artists display their paintings and sculptures in the space of the salon, poets and writers read their work, and musicians play chamber music to begin and conclude the conversation. Their contributions provide a shared experience and lexicon that facilitates communication and inclusionary social interactions, advancing the egalitarian principle at the heart of our salons. They create a beautiful atmosphere that adds to the joy and poetry of the experience.
We provide supportive communities for our artists and musicians to share their work and receive constructive feedback. We actively promote their artistic creations across our global network of salons and support their creative endeavors.

Cumbria Police confirmed they have recovered the body of a male this afternoon (February 5th) at Askam-In-Furness.
Police were called to reports of a body floating in the water today at 4.07pm by the coastguard close to the pier in Askam.
Members of the public sighted the body in the water which was later recovered by the Coastguard.
No formal identification has taken place, but the police have made contact with the family and are supporting them at this difficult time.
Cumbria Police have confirmed to Breaking News that there is no suspicious circumstances.


Sneak Peak: 2010 Audi A5 Sportback
Well, not quite. Such a car--the 2010 Audi A5 Sportback--is indeed destined for production, but not the New World. Audi says the shapely fastback doesn't mesh well with its U.S. market plans, and as such, the car will become forbidden fruit.
So too, it seems, are photographs of the Sportback in its entirety. Audi's been kind enough to release a teaser shot of the car's hind quarters and a sketch of a side view before its launch later this year, but it's playing coy when it comes to revealing the entire package. Still, it's not hard to imagine the final product in all its glory--a spokesperson described its look as merging the A5's nose and tail to the body of the Sportback concept, which the small pencil sketch seems to confirm.
Ultimately, two Sportbacks--the A5 and a larger A7--will reside in Audi's lineup, but it's unclear which model will compete against BMW's new 5-series Gran Turismo. BMW's made the new 5-series GT almost the size of a 7-series, which would suggest the A7--sized between an A6 and A8--will be a direct competitor. Powertrain will likely be similar to the two-door A5, although we hear the A6's supercharged 3.6-liter V-6 will become the new standard in all A5s.
It is perhaps for that reason Audi has chosen to keep the A5 Sportback overseas. Although the market for a car/sedan/wagon concoction is certainly niche, Audi does plan on bringing the larger A7 to our shores in late 2010.

While hopes were being pinned amongst Orkney farmers for the area enjoy a better summer than last year, for those on the islands still suffering from the ravages of last year’s sunless season, last orders are being called for the scheme designed to help ferry much-needed straw to the area.
The rural charity, RSABI, which has been providing direct help with getting straw to stock farmers on the island, yesterday reminded producers that applications for the Help for Straw Haulage fund will close on 31 May.
Last year’s exceptionally bad weather meant that quantity and quality of silage made on the islands was poor, and there was a huge impact on the harvest across the islands, which meant many farmers struggled to make ends meet.
The charity said that applications to the fund were confidential and that funds were made available if it was shown that a shortage could cause hardship- but figures showed that since the scheme started, 105 farmers had been given assistance to the tune of £74,460.
Philip Bews, NFUS chairman of the Orkney island of Westray said that for many the help had been a life saver. He said: “The mental relief after the straw delivery was palpable, as most farms really were in dire straits.”

text: I love it when the trees are in bloom. Especially the apple trees. In our backyard we have 17 apples trees. Most of them are dwarf or semi-dwarf varieties. Only two of the 17 trees are the same type. One of the nice things about having bees and trees is that the bees handle the pollination of the trees so you get good fruit set. I went out into the orchard to see how much pollinator activity there was. I saw quite a few honey bees along with bumblebees, solitary bees and other nectar gathering flies. I would say that we should have a pretty good fruit set on the apples this year. I took a couple of photos of the honey bees in action.

Fried chicken, comfort food, gets star turn in NYC
NEW YORK (AP) — Fried chicken, that mainstay of comfort food, is getting the star treatment.
More than a dozen chefs offered their take on the classic at an event Thursday as part of the New York City Food and Wine Festival.
Whoopi Goldberg was one of the event's co-hosts. She admitted that she's a picky eater, but said fried chicken has always been a favorite, especially the version her late mother used to make.
She was eager to try the night's fried chicken offerings, saying that "as with all art, interpretation is everything."
Another high-profile fried chicken fan in the room was Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson, stepping away from his role as drummer for The Roots to get behind the turntables for a DJ set.
Questlove has started a catering truck that serves fried chicken in Philadelphia.
He told The Associated Press on Thursday that he was planning to open a restaurant that would be serving fried chicken and other comfort food in New York City at the end of January 2013.
"Every foodie loves fried chicken," he said.
