The Indian equity benchmarks recorded major gains from Reliance Industries, Baja Finance, HDFC, Tata Steel HDFC Bank and Mahindra & Mahindra. The Sensex rose hot 243 points of 55,680.75 and the Nifty 50 index touched an all-time high of 16,589.40. The profit generated from the equity markets were capped owing to the fall of Infosys, State Bank of India, Maruti Suzuki and ICICI Bank.
The Sensex went above 145 points of 55,582.58 and the Nifty 50 index reached 34 points with a whopping 16,563.
“Sentiments remained intact and poised towards positivity as the government focuses more on the infrastructure in the coming time which will help the economy reach new heights. Our research suggests that 16,350 is an important support level for Nifty in the short term, if Nifty sustains above this level, we can expect the market to remain positive and gain momentum, leading to an upside projection till 16,700-16,750 level,” Gaurav Garg, Head of Research at CapitalVia Global Research told NDTV through an email.
Moreover, the Nifty Metal index was among the top Nifty gainer with a 1.5 per cent share rate. Oil & Gas, FMCG and Financial Services indexes also reached higher slots. The broader market could not perform as Nifty Midcap 100 index fell significantly by 0.35 per cent and the Nifty Smallcap 100 index dipped by 0.72 per cent.
Devyani International summed up being the top performer with a start of 56 per cent shares at ₹ 141 on the BSE and ₹ 140.90 on the NSE, issued at ₹ 90 per share.
Exxaro Tiles shares commenced for trading at ₹ 126, along with a premium of 5 per cent from the issue price of ₹ 120 per share.
Windlas Biotech shares made a weak start with trading at ₹ 437 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE), with a discount of 5 per cent from the issue price of ₹ 460.
Krsnaa Diagnostics, a Pune-based company’s shares were offered at a premium of 7 per cent at ₹ 1,025 on the BSE and a premium of around 5 per cent at ₹ 1,005 on the NSE against the issue price of 954 per share.
Reliance Industries was amongst the best Nifty gainers, their stock had a major hit of 2.8 per cent with an intraday high of ₹ 2,203. Tata Steel, Bajaj Finance, Mahindra & Mahindra, Britannia Industries, Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum, JSW Steel, Bajaj Finserv and HDFC witnessed a 1-3 per cent rise.
In hindsight, Maruti Suzuki, Shree Cements, Eicher Motors, Power Grid, Bajaj Auto, State Bank of India, UltraTech Cement, Coal India and Tata Motors couldn’t gain well this time. The total market breadth was towards the negative to 2,127 shares which closed at lower rates against the 1,167 higher rates on the BSE.

Adobo Chicken Burgers are my new jam. These are juicy, popping with flavor, and include turmeric, which makes me feel like I’m doing something ultra healthy and crunchy. They are quick & easy too!

You may have noticed that I haven’t posted many recipes, much at all, over the last month or so. It’s been a really rough couple of months. I’ve always suffered with pain during my period, but during the last year it’s become pretty debilitating. About 6 months ago I started getting the same severe pain during other weeks of the month and knew it was something more than what my doctor’s were attributing to fibromyalgia and being a woman. Since I try to do things holistically first, and tend to be stubborn about pain, I put off surgery for way too long. I ended up having the surgery at the end of December and needed longer to recover than expected. I was diagnosed with endometriosis and unfortunately my pain has continued to get worse. Because of how severe my symptoms have been, I’m stuck in the space of deciding between the time, expense, and trials of integrative medicine vs the risks of conventional medicine. I’m having some other health issues that just complicate the decision. A week ago, in a pretty backwards fashion, I found myself in an energy healing session. I’ve done some out of the box stuff (we’ll have to talk about the Hulda Clark Zapper sometime), but this caught me a little by surprise and was so different than anything I’ve ever experienced. My chakra reading was remarkably accurate and day or so later I started feeling soooo much better. The severe fatigue cloud I’ve been in for months is finally lifting. I seized the opportunity and somehow cooked and shot a dozen or so recipes! I’m seriously excited to bring you these adobo chicken burgers because they are OUT OF THIS WORLD. I can’t stop eating them.
I work long shifts during the week, so to make things easier I meal plan and do some prep work in advance (get my meal plan template by joining the email list above). These adobo chicken burgers have been on my regular meal prep rotation. I usually eat them for breakfast over a bed of spinach and a side of roasted veggies. The adobo seasoning packs so much punch and the red onion helps keep the burgers moist and juicy. I also throw in a handful or two of spinach, because it’s pretty much the only way I can get my husband to eat all his veggies.
I use Primal Palate’s Adobo. It’s incredible. I’m entirely obsessed. Like keep a jar in my purse obsessed. I can’t possibly express the quality and flavor of the Primal Palate spices and blends. They have made our lives so much easier, especially with the addition of the new 3 pack AIP compliant blends. Unfortunately, the Adobo is not strict AIP because it includes black pepper. If you haven’t reintroduced black pepper I’ve included what seasonings to use instead. I prefer the quality of the Primal Palate adobo, but the burgers are just as delicious both ways.
Adobo Chicken Burgers (AIP, Paleo, GF)
Yield 6 burgers
- 2 tsp Tin Star Foods Ghee*
- 1lb ground chicken or turkey
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1 large handful of spinach, finely chopped (approximately 1 cup)
- 1 TBS Primal Palate Adobo Seasoning*
- 1/2 tsp himalayan pink salt + more to taste
- *For strict AIP use coconut oil & 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp turmeric, & 1.5 tsp dried oregano
- Preheat oil over medium heat in a large cast iron skillet.
- Mix ground chicken, red onion, spinach, and seasoning in a large bowl until well combined. Divide into 6 equal portions and form burger patties.
- Cook burgers for 4-5 minutes per side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
- Serve warm over roasted vegetables, a bed of spinach, or in a lettuce wrap.

In a major move to materialise the vision of boosting India’s domestic defence manufacturing, the cabinet has approved the export of indigenously-developed surface-to-air Akash missile system and set up a panel to ensure faster approvals for acquisition proposals by various countries. The Akash missile system has 96 per cent Indian components and can hit targets at a range of 25 KMs. The decision to export the missile systems was taken at a Cabinet meeting presided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Informing the public about the Cabinet decision, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh tweeted, “Under the #AtmaNirbharBharat, India is growing in its capabilities of manufacturing a wide variety of Defence platforms & missiles. The Cabinet chaired by PM @narendramodi ji today approved the export of Akash Missile System and a Committee for faster approvals has been created.”
“The export of big platforms was minimal. This decision by the Cabinet would help the country improve its defence products and make them globally competitive,” the defence minister said. Singh also said that the government intends to focus on exporting high-value defence platforms with an aim to achieve a target of USD 5 billion in defence exports and improve strategic relations with friendly foreign countries.
In May, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman rolled out a number of reform measures for the defence sector including making separate budgetary outlay to procure Indian-made military hardware, increasing FDI limit from 49 per cent to 74 per cent under the automatic route and generating a year-wise negative list of weapons which won’t be imported. In August, Rajnath Singh had announced that India will stop the import of 101 weapons and military platforms like transport aircraft, light combat helicopters, conventional submarines, cruise missiles and sonar systems by 2024.

A petition drive is underway to ensure adequate funding for public schools in Mississippi.
"Just about every school district in the state should be working with this, but registered voters can come by our office and sign the petition," says Newton Municipal School Superintendent, Dr. Virginia Young. She's talking about the Initiative 42 petition, which is circulating around the state.
If the required 107-thousand registered voters' signatures for the petitions are gathered, Initiative 42 will be placed on the ballot next November. Known by some as the "Better Schools, Better Jobs Initiative," it's a measure that will allow Mississippi voters to decide whether or not the state's constitution should be amended to require legislators to gradually phase into fully funding education.
"If we get all of the money that we deserve, and that we are entitled to, we probably would not have to make cuts like this," says Superintendent Young, who is referring to a recent cut that her district made in its bus service. She says the cutback was necessary to help the district address a $151,000 shortage in funds.
Lauderdale County Superintendent, Randy Hodges also supports the petition drive.
"This can help. In our school district, had the Mississippi Adequate Education Program been fully funded since the beginning, we would have received $17 million more dollars. That could have helped our teachers in the classroom with instruction and with smaller class sizes. In a number of ways it makes a great difference," says Hodges.
Mississippi lawmakers passed an Adequate Education Funding Program known as MAEP in 1997. It actually took effect six years later in 2003. Since then legislators have fully funded education twice.
"If we could get voters involved with this petition, it could possibly help fix some of the problems that we're faced with," says David Irby, who is the Transportation Director for the Newton Municipal School District.
The deadline to gather all of the needed signatures for the petition is October 1st.

A photo of a cute and cuddly joey clinging to someone’s hand was the most popular photo of 2015 on Tourism NT’s Instagram account.
The photo of the joey from the Kangaroo Sanctuary in Alice Springs attracted 5,161 likes on @AusOutbackNT and melted just as many hearts.
The Kangaroos Sanctuary dominated the social media platform with photos of locals from the tourism attraction taking out six of Tourism NT’s top 10 most liked photos of the year.
The quirky Kangaroo pics included a joey learning how to walk (2); a joey called “Little Indi” caught red-handed playing with a roll of toilet paper (3), a video of a joey giving a visitor a hug (6) and a photo of “Roger the ripped Kangaroo” flexing his muscles (10).
“The Northern Territory is renowned for its unique native wildlife and quirky characters so it’s no surprise that when combined this proved a powerful combination on Instagram,” said Tourism NT CEO Tony Mayell.
“The photos of the joeys in Alice Springs are not only cute and cuddly but also represent the iconic Northern Territory outback and true Australia. It’s no wonder these moments attracted thousands of likes from all over the world.”
Sunsets also proved popular in 2015, with two sunsets from Central Australia making the top 10, including a spectacular time-lapse photo at Uluru. The Territory’s natural landscapes also won over Instagrammers with the list of “most-liked” photos from each region featuring pristine beaches, rivers, and waterholes.
Mr Mayell said Instagram was an extremely valuable and cost-effective form of marketing with the annual “State of the Nation” report by travel search site Expedia.com.au recently finding 85 per cent people surveyed considered social media potential before booking a vacation.
“Instagram is a huge marketing platform for us with travellers sharing hundreds of pictures a day via @AusOutbackNT and the Northern Territory’s official hashtag #NTAustralia,” he said.
“In 12 months, our Instagram audience has doubled reaching over 126,000 individuals with our overall social media audience at more than 450,000 which just goes to show just how popular the Northern Territory is with travellers.
“With stunning sunsets and spectacular landscapes there’s a unique photo opportunity around every corner so it’s about time everyone came an experienced the Northern Territory for themselves.”

Control Strategies for Plenum Optimization in Raised Floor Data Centers
Chen, Keke; Federspiel, Clifford C.; Auslander, David M.; Bash, Cullen E.; Patel, Chandrakant D.
Keyword(s): data center cooling; smart cooling; dynamic thermal control; energy optimization; thermal management
Abstract: Contemporary data centers contain a denser aggregation of commodity computing, networking and storage hardware mounted in industry standard racks than before. As a result of high power density in data centers, mechanical engineers face more challenges in cooling system design. One of the objectives for data center cooling systems is to remove dissipated heat efficiently while maintaining the thermal management of hardware. This requires that air conditioning units provide enough cooling resources and deliver them to specific locations. Thus, each link of the cooling system has to be optimized. This paper studies the flow domain of the under-floor plenum in a raised- floor data center. Based on the analysis, flow control strategies were proposed and implemented in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The results demonstrate the possibility of optimizing airflow distribution in raised-floor data centers.

The original Beretta M9 has a 30 year history with the U.S. Army and Navy, being the standard issue sidearm since the M1911 was phased out in 1986. The M9 is a no-frills, Department of Defense owned design that weighs reliability against budget. The Beretta M9A3 features a design that takes the M9 and refines it, giving attention to its combat heritage. We took one out to the range, and found it to be a fantastic pistol. New features include: a threaded barrel, 17 round magazines, 3 slot Picatinny rail, thinner vertical grip, removable wrap-around grip, removable sights, universal slide, and sand-resistant magazine.
The first thing you’ll notice about the Beretta M9A3 is that it’s a very colorful pistol. The frame is a greenish color, the slide is standard flat dark earth, and the barrel, grips, and magazines are each a little different shade of flat dark earth. Aesthetics aside, the lighter earth tones keep the temperature of the gun down, making it easier to handle in warmer, sunnier weather. The M9A3 ships in a container that’s similar to an ammo can with inserts that hold the pistol and magazines.
The M9A3 ships with 3 magazines, which are all coated in a sand-resistant, flat-dark-earth coating that goes along with the color scheme of the pistol. The mags each hold 17 rounds, and seating a full magazine in the pistol with the slide closed isn’t a problem.
The sights on the M9A3 are pretty good. They are a 3-dot night sight setup, and the rings around the tritium vials in the rear sight provide a good sight picture without being obstructive. It’s a good shooter with the factory sights.
The trigger on the M9A3 isn’t bad for a double action/single action pistol. The double action trigger pull is quite heavy but smooth, and not hard to shoot well. The single action trigger pull is phenomenal: It’s light, short, and very easy to shoot well.
Now, on to the down side of the M9A3: Beretta kept the safety/decocker next to the slide where it’s always been on the M9/92 series pistols, and it’s really an awkward location. The safety pulls downward and decocks the pistol when engaged. The safety isn’t easy to reach on the slide, and pushing the safety upward during a draw stroke resists your thumb’s natural movement. The good news is that the M9A3 does accept a Beretta “G” lever which would eliminate the safety, making it decocker-only.
We did have one failure to feed with the M9A3. A round fed most of the way into the chamber, and then stopped, leaving the pistol slightly out of battery. After clearing the jam, we expected it to be deformed. It wasn’t, and it dropped into the chamber without any problem. We loaded it into the top of the magazine and fired it without issue.
The Beretta M9A3 just shoots great. As mentioned above, it has a phenomenal single action trigger that is really easy to shoot accurately, and fast. To give you a better idea of the group sizes, we are using a target printed on an 8 1/2″ x 11″ piece of paper.
We could quibble over some of the little things with the M9A3, like the safety lever not being to our liking, but what really stands out about the M9A3 is the quality of the workmanship of the pistol. There’s not a tool mark to be found on it, the stippling on the front strap is sharp, and perfect, and the little things like that really make it stand out. The Beretta M9A3 retails for $1,100 and will realistically sell for somewhere between $950-1,000.
If you’re interested in an M9A3, stop by the shop and have a look at one!

We've rounded up one hundred IKEA hacks that prove you can have champagne tastes on a beer budget. Each of these hacks illustrates the power of transformation - basic warehouse pieces are cleverly altered in beautiful ways that make them feel custom. This round up has me feeling like Aladdin on a magic carpet ride - so come along with me! I can open your eyes, take you wonder by wonder, over, sideways and under on a magic IKEA hack ride. All...
Have you ever struggled to find the perfect pattern for something? Then you see it...but it's the wrong product? That happened to me when I was searching for an outdoor rug, so actually decided I used an IKEA shower curtain to recover an outdoor rug, making a simple statement rug that was exactly what I wanted! Because shower curtains are already waterproof, you can makeover any rug with the pattern from a simple shower curtain.
Before I bought this nightstand, I had never stepped foot in an IKEA (gasp!). It wasn't for lack of wanting to, I just never had the opportunity before. As a former small-town gal, I haven't lived within driving distance of an IKEA up until I moved to the big city (more specifically, the Twin Cities) about a year and a half ago. Since moving, I've been putting off a trip to the IKEA because I know myself too well. I know that I love cute home decor, and I knew that I'd want to take everything in that store home with me. Impulsive purchasing aside, I needed a new nightstand. Let me tell you two things: #1. IKEA is awesome (and massive and a bit confusing at first - but they have Swedish Fish which totally made up for me getting lost), and #2. I love this TARVA IKEA nightstand because it is so hackable.
Hanging a mirror is a painless way to add depth and interest to a wall. Mirrors reflect light and movement in a room, they're eye-catching, and they can make a space appear bigger than it is. If you know us here at Curbly, you know we LOVE a good IKEA hack. Today we're reflecting (sorry!) on some of our favorite IKEA mirror hacks and transformations, all in uniquely awesome ways. Keep reading!
Those Swedes sure do love to organize. Flip through any edition of the IKEA catalog, and the first impression you'll likely get is: a place for everything, and everything in its place. But don't our cluttered, modern, go-go-go lifestyles make it seem impossible to live up to this standard? Most especially in that most dreaded place in our homes --- the closet. Chances are, if you're a Curbly reader, you love organization just as much as we do. And you may need a little help figuring out how to make your closet system work for you. That's why today we are talking all about how to design the closet of your dreams using IKEA closets.
We all go through that "IKEA phase" in life, and to be honest, I have no intention of leaving that phase! Thanks to the amount of IKEA hacks out there and newer, unique pieces of IKEA furniture, it's easier than ever to achieve a sophisticated look on a budget. If you're in the market for IKEA entertainment center ideas to upgrade an IKEA sideboard, cabinet, buffet or TV unit into a chic centerpiece in your living room, you can hack it SO many different ways!
No matter how many trends come and go, there are a few classic home decor elements that never go out of style. Think of a simple round mirror, the Eames lounge chair, a quality Persian rug - designers come back to these pieces again and again.
Another essential decor item that every interior designer seems to have in their back pocket? White curtains. Versatile and classic, well-tailored white curtains can dress up literally any room; no matter the style. And here's the secret - we've noticed a lot of designers are getting their curtains at IKEA!
IKEA is always a good choice for inexpensive furniture, and many of its furniture and home decor accessories make great bases for DIY projects. Are you planning to revamp your bedroom this season? Even if you're not, you're going to love these IKEA bedroom hacks that make basic products look like brand new, unique pieces!

I have a love-hate relationship with light fittings. I totally get that they can transform the look of a room, but I've put off changing ours for aaaages because the ones I love best are always out of my budget. And when it comes to the crunch, I can't justify spending $150+ on a pretty light fixture when there are bills to be paid! That's where this IKEA lighting hack comes in.
For a while now, I've been trying to figure out how to make the kitchen in my apartment more user-friendly. It's tiny house small. It's a classic galley, only instead of countertops and cupboards flanking both sides of a narrow passage, everything is shoved on one side, facing a blank wall. Because the rental kitchen is so narrow, it hasn't made much sense to put anything on the adjacent wall, save for a trash can and recycling bin. But my kitchen seriously lacks counter space, and I figured if my garbage receptacles were going to take up precious square footage, they might as well do double-duty. Enter this cabinet hack:
Everybody loves IKEA, right? The simplicity of the designs, plus the sense of accomplishment from putting furniture together yourself... this combo makes IKEA a standard go-to when shopping for the home. There are lots of ways to hack IKEA furniture - however, would you like to customize these basic designs to set you apart from the thousands of other people that have the same piece? Turns out, it's a pretty easy transformation to make. Today we're taking a look at how easy it is to upgrade your IKEA furniture, thanks to Norse Interiors' system. You can style up a wide variety of IKEA furniture using prefab cabinet designs and knobs. Everybody will be asking, “Where did you get that?"
One of the easiest ways to change up a piece of furniture is to switch out the hardware - but what happens when the hardware is abandoned completely? When my wife found this nightstand during a recent trip to IKEA, she immediately drew inspiration from a different piece of furniture in our house - our hardware-less credenza. Could we replicate the cutout drawer handle on her new nightstand? Turns out, we could! Trading a little extra work for the extra cost of new hardware, here's how this IKEA nightstand hack worked out.
Every now and then, I like to browse through IKEA's website to see if they have anything new and amazing (did you know they sell pet accessories now, for example?!). So last time, when I ran across the Västerön stool, I had this idea. What would happen if I flipped it upside down? Click through to find out.
The IKEA Raskog cart. It's easy on the eyes, super versatile and best of all - it's cheap. Ringing in at $30, the Raskog fits in most people's budgets. It is sold as a kitchen cart, but it can be used for so much more. Here are ten great ways to use it in every room of your house.
I'm a plant lover through and through. Plants add visual interest to a space, and they clean the air too. So when I saw the Fryken baskets at IKEA, I knew I had to turn them into a hanging planter set. Not only does it look cool, but it also keeps the plants away from the curious nose of my mischievous dog. So read on find out how you can make your own hanging planter basket set.
The final product is a nice combination of rustic and contemporary, with the bright colored cord paired with the natural sea grass. And it's surprisingly easy to make! Let's get started.
Here's what you'll need for your planter:
- IKEA Fryken basket set
- Acrylic craft paint
- Foam paint brush
- 10' of parachute cord
- Embroidery needle
- 4" piece of thin wire (not pictured)
Begin by painting the bottom of each basket. I mixed up a dark turquoise color, and painted on an angle so that the color would be visible from the side when the baskets were hanging.
Here's a look at the side of the basket. Feel free to use a piece of painters tape to help create a straight line. Let the baskets dry thoroughly.
Now it's time to connect the baskets using parachute cord. You can buy the cord on Amazon or at most craft stores (I bought mine at Michaels). You most likely won't be able to thread your cord through the embroidery needle, so you'll need to fashion a little loop out of wire. To do this, thread the wire through the needle, create a 1 inch opening and then twist the ends together as shown above.
Cut 6 pieces of parachute cord that are 12 inches long each. Thread one piece of cord through your wire loop and push the needle through the top of the largest basket, as shown above. If you have trouble getting the cord through, pull everything back out and use a flat head screwdriver to gently wiggle a small hole in that spot and then try threading it through again.
Once it comes through, pull one end all the way through and tie a knot at the end. Then pull the outside end back out so the knot is positioned on the inside of the basket. Do this for three of the pieces of cord, evenly spacing them around the top of the basket.
Next, use the same process to pull the top of one of the cords through the bottom of the medium sized basket. Tie a knot at the top of that cord. Do the same for the other two cords.
Now repeat the exact same process for the medium basket and attach it to the smallest basket. Adjust the knots slightly if the baskets aren't sitting flat.
Then cut three pieces of cord that are 15 inches long each, and attach those to the top of the smallest basket. Knot the three pieces together at the top as shown above, and hang it from a hook. Your planter set is finished!
You'll want to use plants that are already in plastic containers so you can take them out to water them... if the sea grass baskets get wet repeatedly, they may start to get a bit moldy. For the bottom basket, I used cuttings from another Pothos plant and put them in a plastic container that I found in my recycling bin. I did the same for the Jade plant in the middle, and the top one is an air plant - so no soil needed!
You can customize these to your liking, using colors that match your decor - or you might even consider using different colors for each section if you like a multi-color look.
You could fill the entire thing with air plants, for a lower maintenance option. Just don't forget to water them like I did last time! Spritz them thoroughly in the sink every week or two to keep them looking good.

We love a good IKEA hack around here, and today we have something extra special for you - a double IKEA hack! This tiered serving tray spins, so guests can easily reach that brie that they're so desperate to eat. It uses up less surface area on the table too, by taking advantage of vertical space. Click through to check out the full tutorial.
Fun, right? You can customize the colors too. So let's get started!
Here's what you'll need for your spinning tiered serving tray:
- IKEA Snudda
- IKEA Vildapel (you won't need the accompanying casters)
- (2) 1" diameter dowel rods, 4.5" long each
- Acrylic craft paints
- Wood Glue
Begin by painting the dowel rods your desired color. You may need two coats - let the first coat dry thoroughly before starting the second one.
Next, find the center of the IKEA Snudda Lazy Susan. Place a dollop of wood glue there and place the bottom dowel rod in the glue. Let it dry for a couple of hours so it is secure. Then, find the center of the underside of the Vilapel and glue that to the top of that same dowel rod.
Next, find the center of the top of the Vilapel and glue the top dowel rod to it. Let everything dry overnight. And that's it! One of the easiest double IKEA hacks ever.
A note: I wouldn't recommend putting a big heavy bowl of salsa on the top tier of this serving tray - stick to lighter items just to be safe.
You can get creative with the colors too - metallic might be fun, or even a colorful pattern. Have fun with it!
The moment I ran across the Hyllis shelf on IKEA's website, I knew I had to hack it. My dining room was crying out for a shelf upgrade, so I drove down to IKEA immediately and bought three of them. You guys... they're only $15 apiece! My resulting hack has a glamorous vibe with a bit of rustic appeal, and it's super simple to do. Click through to check it out.
So much better, right?! I'm loving the contrast of the gold with the dark stained wood. Let's get started!
Here's what you'll need for this project:
- IKEA Hyllis
- Gold spray paint (I recommend Montana Gold)
- Dark wood stain
- Four pieces of wood, size 10.5 x 23.5 and about 3/4 inch thick
- E6000 Glue
- Rag or scrap of fabric
- Rubber gloves
- At least two C-Clamps (not pictured)
Begin by assembling the Hyllis shelf according to the directions and then spray paint it gold. You'll probably need two thin coats... let it dry thoroughly between coats. And yes, I spray paint in the snow. It's not ideal because the paint dries slower, but sometimes you have to make due!
Be sure to wipe down the shelf thoroughly with a clean rag to remove fingerprints before you paint, and don't forget to paint the undersides of the shelves and the insides of the support pieces.
Next, apply the stain to the four pieces of wood. If you've never used stain before, don't be intimidated - it's surprisingly simple and forgiving! Just be sure to do it in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves and old clothes. Because it is aptly named... it stains.
Let them dry overnight. You don't really have to do the undersides of the boards, but make sure you get the sides and go onto the edges of the undersides a bit (shown below).
Now apply a generous portion of E6000 glue to the underside of the board, especially near the edges, and flip it over onto the Hyllis shelf.
Use C-clamps to ensure that the wood is firmly attached the the shelf. Most wood will be warped slightly, so this step is pretty important. Be sure to place a piece of scrap wood in between the clamp and the stained wood or else you'll end up with a round indentation where the clamp was.
Place one clamp on each side of the shelf, and let the glue dry for several hours. If you only have two clamps, move them to the next shelf and repeat the process. If you have eight clamps, you can do them all at once!
And that's it... you're finished! Now go fill it with pretty knick-knacks. I love the look of it more and more everyday. The shelf we had there before was all wood, and it felt dark and dated. The metal frame of the Hyllis really adds airiness and makes the room feel much more open.
And a quick safety note: be sure to bolt it to the wall, just like you would any tall shelf. There are small holes just below the top shelf that will allow you to do so. And before you call me out for not doing it, don't worry - it's on my to-do list for today!
You could personalize this project by painting the wood a different color... white if you want to go super glam, or a bright color if you want to add some funkiness.
This would look great in any room of the house - I can imagine it in the kitchen with piles of white dishware on the shelves, or in the kids' room with fabric bins for toy storage.
Feel free to leave any questions you have in the comments section below. Happy crafting everyone!
When I really sat down and thought about all the IKEA products in my house, I realized that I had accumulated way more than I thought. And I also realized that many of them are indispensable in our daily lives. So today I thought I'd share ten of my favorites, so that maybe you'll discover something new. I mean... who knew that IKEA sells milk frothers?!
It you've been a Curbly reader for a while, then you probably know that we love IKEA hacks. And if you're new around here, then you'll just have to take my word for it - we love IKEA hacks. Today we have a new one for you, and it's super easy. Just grab a Kubbis coat rack and you'll have a fun photo display in no time.
Sometimes IKEA hacks can be complicated. Or sometimes they look worse after than they did before. But that's certainly not the case with this dresser hack, in my humble opinion. It is incredibly easy to do and the final product is so pretty. Click through to check it out.

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made, if any, of the effectiveness of the Masonry Arch Repair and Strengthening (MARS) system as a potential alternative to the infilling of railway bridges deemed unsafe by Highways England; and whether, as part of any such assessment, they have estimated the total (1) cost, and (2) reduction in carbon emissions, of adopting this approach instead of infilling.
23 July 2021
The Masonry Arch Repair and Strengthening (MARS) system is one of a range of treatments which is considered for the delivery of our maintenance of the Historical Railway Estate (HRE). It is a system that is suitable for strengthening and reinforcing masonry arches. However, given the type of structures that comprise the HRE, it can only be considered for a small number of arched structures. It should be noted that MARS is just one proprietary system and other systems are used where appropriate to undertake repairs on the HRE, examples include Shankend viaduct and Queensbury Tunnel.
It was considered as a treatment at Great Musgrave. However, Highways England’s assessment found that while initial costs were estimated to be lower than infilling (approximately £100,000 for MARS versus £125,000 for infilling), it would take longer to install MARS. Using the MARS system would also require much more follow up maintenance resulting in additional future costs. Those costs are estimated to be ongoing maintenance every 20 years costing approximately £15,000, major refurbishment every 60 years costing approximately £100,000, plus costs for detailed examinations every 6 years costing approximately £1,500. These additional costs do not apply for infilling, representing better value for money.
The carbon cost of the MARS system is difficult to estimate and compare. The steel used in the MARS system would have to be manufactured and transported to site, most of which usually comes from outside of the United Kingdom. The carbon costs would be far greater than sourcing fill material from a local quarry, although it is accepted that this carbon cost comparison does not take account of the fact that infilling might prevent use for cycling and walking unless an alternative route were provided.
At certain sites Highways England (HE) has partially infilled and provided an access for either active travel or heritage railways, for example three bridges in Cumbia on the Cockermouth, Keswick and Penrith branch for a heritage railway and in North Ayrshire on Route 73 of the National Cycle Network. Infilling whilst maintaining access is approximately 50% more expensive than infilling alone and requires ongoing maintenance and inspection costs. Where HE has completed this type of work it is on structures with existing or committed active travel routes.


The $expand system query option allows to use $apply as an option parameter. This is only meaningful when expanding collection-valued navigation properties. Single expanded entities are excluded. In order to avoid confusion, it should be clarified that $apply can be applied to collection of entities only. This also relates to resource paths addressing single entities.

Over the past two decades, there has been a great deal of development in the application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to biomedical research and clinical medicine. Along with the development of magnetic resonance imaging , in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is becoming a research tool for biochemical studies of humans as well as a potentially more specific diagnostic tool, since it provides specific information on individual chemical species in living systems. Experimental studies in animals and humans have demonstrated that MRS can be used to study the biochemical basis of disease and to follow the treatment of disease.

In the fast-evolving realm of storage technology, Samsung has set the stage for a bold prediction – the possibility of single SSD capacity reaching a staggering 1PB within the next decade. This audacious forecast follows the company’s showcase of a prototype 128TB SSD, deemed a “petabyte scale product,” at the 2022 Flash Memory Summit in San Jose. Although 128TB SSDs are currently rare, Samsung’s vision hints at a future where such colossal storage capacities become the norm.
Samsung, a pioneer in the SSD arena, not only revealed the prototype but also launched a 128TB SSD with a proprietary controller, showcasing their commitment to pushing the boundaries of storage capabilities. Concurrently, Silicon Motion entered the arena with an SSD controller capable of supporting up to 128TB, adding to the momentum of this storage revolution.
The momentum continued into CES 2024, where Phison took center stage, unveiling its X2 enterprise SSD platform. While initially listed on the company’s website with capacities ranging from 1.92TB to 61.44TB, the showcased version at CES boasted an impressive 128TB capacity.
The X2 controller, available in U.2 and E3.S form factors, not only raises the bar in terms of capacity but also delivers outstanding performance-per-watt. With sequential read speeds exceeding 14GB/s, sequential write speeds of 12GB/s, random read speeds of 3000K IOPS, and random write speeds of 800K IOPS, the X2 promises to be a game-changer in the SSD landscape.
Despite the understated presentation at CES, the emergence of the updated X2 marks a positive step towards the accessibility of 128TB SSDs in the market. While 1PB drives may currently be considered a distant dream, the relentless innovation in the storage industry suggests that it is only a matter of time before these colossal storage capacities become more commonplace, reshaping the landscape of data storage as we know it. Stay tuned as technology giants like Samsung and Phison continue to propel us towards a future of unprecedented storage capabilities.

President Donald Trump recently made an uncalled-for jab towards the big winner of this year’s Academy Awards. While at a Colorado rally on Thursday Trump called out South Korean film Parasite, saying that he wished an English-language film had won instead.
“How bad were the Academy Awards this year, did you see?” he asked the Colorado crowd.
“And the winner is … a movie from South Korea,” he said, impersonating the announcer of the awards night. “What the hell was that all about? We’ve got enough problems with South Korea with trade, on top of it they give them the best movie of the year?
He then reveals he most likely has not even seen the film by saying: “Was it good? I don’t know.”
Neon, the U.S. distributor of the movie, was unable to stay quiet at what others deemed xenophobic criticism. They quote-tweeted a video of Trump’s speech with the caption: “Understandable, he can’t read.”

With the rise of Latinx artists in film, television and theatre, meeting some of the better ones is a privilege and a pleasure. So, go ahead, meet Edward Torres, 54, a native of Chicago, Illinois, co-founder and former artistic director of Teatro Vista for the past eighteen years. And as one might expect, being in such a position, he willingly brings along other Latinx artists: playwrights, directors, and actors.
In Los Angeles this time around, he is directing the third of the Quiara Alegría Hudes Elliot Trilogy’s, The Happiest Song Plays Last, at the downtown Los Angeles Theatre Center through March 19th. Torrez has known the writer for some years as he was in the Chicago production of Elliot: A Soldier’s Fugue, a drama that was short-listed for the Pulitzer Prize when it debuted at the Hartford Stage in Connecticut. “She’s a really good writer, with her three plays currently being produced around the country, and other plays at the Curious Theatre/Denver, Court Theatre/Chicago, the Old Globe Theatre/San Diego, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and the Orange Country Shakespeare Festival/Garden Grove, among other outlets, which show her worth.”
The Trilogy (Elliot: A Soldier’s Fugue, Water By The Spoonful), that won a Pulitzer Prize in Drama in 2012; and “The Happiest Song Plays Last”), all of which deal with a young Puertoricaño, Elliot, beginning when he’s 18, reflecting Hudes’ fascination with Latinx soldiers and sailors in the U.S. armed forces: Elliot in the Middle East; his father in Vietnam; and his grandfather in Korea. According to Torres, she allows us to see the other side of Latinx involvement in America’s wars. “Sometimes it’s patriotism; sometimes just economic. There’s a truth in her writing; a simplicity around truth told in a poetic way, allowing her to get quickly to the heart of the matter. She tells stories that are universal; what these characters have lived through, including healing and recovery; moving forward, in addition to coloring them with the musical sounds of Puerto Rico (Jibaro, Spanish, Arabic), with an influence on American jazz.”
Los Angeles audiences are able to see the three plays in quick succession at the Kirk Douglas (Elliot), the Mark Taper Forum (Water) and at the LATC (Happiest).
Torres is very much of the Theatre: actor, director, producer and teacher; he is married to an actress, Karen Aldredge, with a son who is an actor/musician Joshua Torres. He’s also an Assistant Professor of the Practice of Theatre at Wesleyan University/Middletown, Connecticut, where his wife is a visiting professor (in Heighten Text) as well. Where playwright Hudes teaches as well. He feels very lucky at having the chance to associate himself with contemporary Latinx theatre, as well as non-Hispanic plays, both at his theatre in Chicago and at Wesleyan. “I love being able to explore the theatrical universe, especially with generationally new playwrights.”
Part of that joy is exploring how the different generations of Latino and Latina playwrights have such different views on integration, discrimination, and the future. “The Millennials are aware of how different the Latinx populations are – in skin-color, mixed-races, and language. We are filled with subcultures, so we don’t necessarily need a Puertoricaño actor to play Elliot, for instance, as Quiana’s stories are universal. I believe in giving all Latinx actors the opportunity to play others than just themselves – my experience has taught me to cast the best actor who can embody the character. And so far, I’ve had no tribal [political] problems with that, especially since I don’t subscribe to a narrowness in that kind of thinking.”
It’s clear from his involvement in Elliot #3 that seeing Hudes’ Trilogy is to see a story that is epic in scope. “The three productions stand alone, but by seeing them in tandem, you get so much more out of the experiences she is observing.”

ISO 12966-3:2009 specifies a rapid base-catalysed transesterification method for fats and oils with trimethylsulfonium hydroxide to prepare fatty acid methyl esters. The method is exclusively applicable to the preparation of methyl esters of fats and oils for gas liquid chromatographic analysis. It is applicable to all fats and oils including milk fat and blends containing milk fat. Isomerization of unsaturated fatty acids only occurs to a minor extent and isomerized fatty acids are only present at the determination limit. As isomerization takes place the procedure is not recommended for conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). As CLA is not correctly analysed, this method is not applicable to the determination of the complete fatty acid composition of milk fat samples.
Only about 70 % to 80 % of the free fatty acids are esterified. In the case of conjugated cyclopropyl and cyclopropenyl fatty acids, side reactions may occur, but these do not interfere with the determination of the fatty acids.


The Legislative Analyst’s Office has just published the following report:
The 2020-21 Budget: Transportation
This report provides our review of the Governor’s 2020-21 budget proposals for the state’s transportation departments and programs.
Budget Summary. In total, the proposed budget includes $26.9 billion for transportation programs, including the California Department of Transportation, local streets and roads, the high-speed rail project, California Highway Patrol (CHP), and Department of Motor Vehicles. This total is $3.4 billion higher that estimated current-year spending for these programs. One contributor to increased state transportation spending is the passage of Chapter 5 of 2017 (SB 1, Beall). We find that since the enactment of SB 1, state revenue collected from fuel taxes and certain vehicle fees has doubled, growing from $6.4 billion in 2016-17 to $12.7 billion in 2020-21.
A Few Proposals to Implement New or Recently Enacted Policy Changes. The report reviews and provides recommendations related to several Governor’s budget proposals related to new or recent policy changes. For example, we find that it is unclear that the Governor’s proposal to create a $7 million CHP-led task force is the most effective way to address the problem of illicit vaping. We recommend the Legislature consider a range of issues in determining what approach it wants to take to reduce the public health effects of illicit vaping products—such as available information on the scope of the problem, potential effectiveness of alternative strategies, and the relative merits of having other other entities lead the task force.
Certain Proposals Appear Warranted, but May Benefit From Legislative Oversight. In several cases, we find administration proposals to be addressing legitimate programmatic and fiscal challenges, including the future insolvency of the Motor Vehicle Account, increasing quantities of litter on state highways, and a high rate of collisions with pedestrians and bicyclists on the state highways. In each of these cases, we recommend ongoing legislative oversight to better ensure that the underlying causes of these problems are clearly defined and can inform future policy and fiscal decisions.

Wow, what doesn't work for me? Now, I definitely don't say that in a 'everything works for ME' type tone. To be honest, I was all excited to say what DOES work for me.....but that's alright, life is ALL about change, right?
So, let's think here, what doesn't work for me is working on one single project until it's finished. I have to have a bajillion projects going on at the same time, as I tend to get bored working on ONE thing.
What doesn't work for me is doing things weeks in advance....which is definitely something I need to change. Because I'm a procrastinator....but this is a what 'doesn't' work for me post, right?!?! So that fits! LOL
What doesn't work for me are school districts changing the school boundaries every freakin' year, and then TWICE this year. So not only will my son be going to a different school next year, there is not a dang thing I can do about it! Which DOES NOT work for me!
What doesn't for me is laziness. That being said the last couple years I've basically tried to do what I absolutely HAD to do, not actually trying to bless my family. Which is so wrong, and so not satisfying. So, laziness does not work for me. The Lord has definitely been working on my heart with this.
And lastly for this week, what doesn't work for me is living IN a town. I would much rather live OUTSIDE of town. There are just too many things I want to do for my family, and without the space, it's just not possible.
So, I guess this wasn't a WHOLE lot of what doesn't work for me, but at least it's a start. I look forward to this next week, and I'll be thinking during the week about this as well, so hopefully I'll have some interesting ones!
I hope you ALL have a wonderful day!


Gravity is a heart-pounding thriller that is both quite literally breathtaking and beautiful. Sandra Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) in command of his last mission before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone – tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to earth… and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen they have left. The only way to go home may be to go further into the terrifying expanse of space. The film is a relentless edge of your seat thrill ride that, although is set against the backdrop of the vast expanse of space, leaves you feeling breathless and claustrophobic. The 3D is expected to be visually stunning and ambitious and therefore may also form a key part of the campaign once we have seen it.

What is ABA?
ABA is not a therapy for autism. Rather, it is the science that forms the basis of nearly every autism therapy. ABA techniques can help promote ideal behaviors and decrease challenging and inappropriate behaviors, along with improving skills in communication, learning, interacting, and more.
Though Applied Behavior Analysis is a complex science that requires extensive training to become an expert in, it’s possible for anyone to learn the basics of ABA. With the basics under your belt, you can play a major role in your child’s treatment process.

AutismPro offers a free workshop on ABA to help you get started.

CHICAGO — After another, smaller round of protest marches, immigration rights advocates on Wednesday were left asking the same question they posed last year: What comes next in the quest for reform?
Turnout nationwide at Tuesdays rallies was light compared with a year ago, when more than 1 million people took part. And the smaller crowds raised doubts about the future of the movement and its ability to seek changes.
Last year, it was easy, said Isabel Garcia, a key organizer of the May 1st Coalition in Tucson, Ariz. Everybody was gathering. The politicians, the radio stations across the country were promoting this march for what was called comprehensive immigration reform. That phrase has been watered down and lost.
In Chicago, where more than 400,000 people swarmed the streets last year, police put initial estimates of Tuesdays protests at 150,000, by far the largest in the country. In Los Angeles, 25,000 people were on hand for a march marred by clashes with police.
Organizers said fear of immigration raids and frustration that Congress has not passed improvements kept many people at home.
Yesterday was a little bit of an opening, the starting point, for this summers political push, because we have until the end of August to push ahead with immigration reform, said Eduardo Cardenas, an organizer with the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Coalition.
Some national organizations appeared skeptical of the rallies value and did not seem heavily involved in Tuesdays protests, said Steven Camarota of the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies.
Protester Luis Dominguez, 62, of Chicago said he would turn his attention to looming legislative battles in Washington.
I think the purpose of the march paid off, said Dominguez, a U.S. citizen who was born in Mexico. Immigrants used to live in the shadows. This, like other marches, showed the people of the United States that we are here, we exist.
Last years effort was galvanized by Rep. Jim Sensenbrenners proposal calling for felony prosecution of illegal immigrants. Since then, Garcia said, a major division has emerged among immigration advocates over legislation that would give illegal immigrants six years of temporary legal status, but then require them to return home before seeking U.S. citizenship.
A year ago, we were all against something, and it is very easy to unite people against something, said Joshua Hoyt, executive director of the Illinois Coalition of Immigrant and Refugee Rights. We all know what we hate but what do we agree on? Thats harder.
Some immigrants this year also skipped rallies from fear of being swept up in immigration raids. In Fresno, Calif., rumors that federal agents had set up checkpoints held attendance to 5,000, one-third of last years crowd.
Undocumented people dont want to leave their houses right now, let alone go to a protest, said Leonel Flores, an organizer of the Fresno event.
In Salem, Ore., organizers said they did not call for a boycott or job walkout this year. In Iowa City, Iowa, where only 80 people showed up, organizers said they simply asked people to display U.S. flags or call their lawmakers to call for immigration reform.
Garcia, the Arizona organizer, said she believes the momentum remains.
These marches are better (than a year ago) because people are more truly informed of whats going on, she said. Lets face it. We cannot have a good democracy until we have active and informed citizens.
Activists said the next goal is to lobby Congress.
People can chant and walk, but if they can engage in voter registration and visit their congressional representatives, its more powerful than anything, said Jesus Rodriguez, an organizer in Oakland, Calif.
Manuel Rendon, a college student who helped organize a march in Dallas, is helping plan protests outside the offices of state and federal lawmakers who propose measures targeting illegal immigrants.
Its the biggest difference, he said. Last year, these people were defending themselves. This time, theyre going on the offensive.
Associated Press writers Greg Aamot in Minneapolis; Garance Burke in Fresno, Calif.; Anabelle Garay in Dallas; William McCall in Portland, Ore.; Arthur Rotstein in Tucson, Ariz.; and Nafeesa Syeed in Des Moines, Iowa, contributed to this report.

THE MISSION OF MUSIC MEMORY IS TO PRESERVE AUDIO RECORDINGS FOR PRESENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS.
We are continuing the work started by the collectors and researchers in the 1950s and ’60s. We share their passion to keep the history of our musical heritage from being forgotten and are committed to preventing that from happening. Our goal is to build a database complete with audio, discographical information, artist and composer biographies, song lyrics and notation. Our hope for this database is that it will serve as a musical Rosetta Stone for future generations by showing the links and cross-influences of the many musical styles captured on phonograph records in the first half of the 20th century. While the database is being constructed, we have been able to supply digital recordings to discographers, writers, and publishers such as Bear Family, Dust-to-Digital, Omnivore, and Oxford American.
If you would like to find out how you could be of assistance to our mission, please send us a message.
Music Memory is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of recorded music of all types & genres.
Over the years, most 78 RPM records were worn out, broken, thrown away, made into ashtrays, used as target practice for local carnival ball-throwing contests, plowed into landfills, or donated to scrap shellac drives during World War II. Today, not one household in a hundred even has an old-fashioned Victrola that can even play the discs.
Yet a handful of collectors and scholars sensed the importance of this culture, and sought to act before it was too late; they began collecting the old 78s, cleaning them, figuring out the best way to get the best sound from them, trading them with other collectors, learning what they could about the names on the labels. On a 78, the listener received no liner notes on recording information as he or she does today: you got a name (which might well be a pseudonym) and a song title (which might not be the one the artist gave to them). To establish a social and musical context for these records, you had to do painstaking research — not only in old company files, but actually beating the bushes in towns from which the musicians came.
In many ways, the era from 1925 to 1950 represents the Golden Age of roots music. It was during these years that the rich, vibrant tradition of folk music made its way onto the new mass media of radio and records. This was the age when far-sighted collectors and ambitious commercial record companies began preserving parts of this vast, complicated heritage, and helped spread it around the world, where it stimulated many of the great genres of pop: jazz, blues, gospel, western swing, rockabilly, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll.
These fragile 78 RPM records, produced in an age before tape, before mixing, before multiple microphones, often in makeshift studios, carried the message of this powerful music into coal camps, railroad yards, juke joints, small town barber shops, the porches of thousands of farm houses and company towns — wherever people could grab a few moments of rest from their work and relax to the sounds of a music that was uniquely theirs.
In July 2011, Music Memory’s application for tax exempt status was granted by the Internal Revenue Service. Music Memory is exempt from Federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions to Music Memory are deductible under section 170 of the Code.

Lamar Odom says that Kanye West saved his life – and now there is video evidence.
A short clip that aired on Sunday night's episode of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" shows West rapping next to his brother in-law's bedside.
The former Laker, 36, was hospitalized in October 2015 after being found unconscious in a Nevada brothel, where he suffered several strokes and kidney failure.
Kim Kardashian says that her estranged brother-in-law told her: "Kanye's music helped me so much. That's when I realized I could start thinking again and things were coming back to me and I could start articulating it.
"Kanye really felt we can cure him through music, we can get him to talk. He would go to the hospital and he would rap and sing and I think Lamar started to get his function back and started to talk once he started to listen to a lot of music."
Khloe Kardashian seconded the thought: "He's always like that. He's like 'Kanye he saved me.' "
Khloe also revealed how close to death Odom was.
"To get to a hospital and hear someone has four hours to live is horrible," she said. "Lamar wasn't able to walk, he had no facial recognition, he didn't know people's names."
Meanwhile, family matriarch Kris Jenner appears to holding out hope that Khloe and Odom seems to be still hoping the pair reconcile. She's seen showing Odom photos of pal Melanie Griffith, who married Don Johnson twice. She neglects to add they were also divorced twice.
"If you're lucky that could be you Lamar," Jenner said.
However, Khloe put the kibosh on the idea of a dreamy reunion.
"We're definitely getting out of this marriage because it's been a little tainted. We need to cut our ties and we can figure it back out."
"Agreed," Odom added.
