Your entire air conditioning system contains components that are essential to the cooling cycle and the expansion valve is a lesser known but essential component of this cycle. Understanding how this key part of your air conditioner works is important as it contributes to how your air conditioning unit operates and functions. This article discusses your air conditioner’s cooling system and the role of the expansion valve in it.
Your air conditioner system works to absorb the heat from the inside air and disperse that heat out of your indoor environment, lowering the temperature of the inside air in the process. This cycle starts when the air from the room reaches the evaporator coils inside the indoor unit.
Here the heat from this incoming air is absorbed by the refrigerant inside the evaporator coil and it flows towards the outdoor unit via pipes. The outdoor unit has condenser coils, compressor and an expansion valve installed within it. When the hot refrigerant coming from indoor unit passes undergoes compression, its pressure increases and it becomes hotter.
But when it is subjected to pass through the expansion valve, the sudden expansion removes the pressure of the compressor from the refrigerant and its temperature drops to a minimum. This is the point where the hot air from the room interacts with this cold refrigerant and gets cold. The expansion valve thus inhibits refrigerant flow, effectively reducing the refrigerant temperature to the desired level before it passes into the evaporator coil.
There are different categories of expansion valves which are being used on the market. Some of these are designed for some particular models of air conditioners and some of them are universal valves which can be utilized in any air conditioning unit.
The automatic expansion valve utilizes a pressure-actuated diaphragm which helps to process the flow of the refrigerant throughout the process. Its disadvantage is its inability to deal with any voltage fluctuations. Since it is an automatic expansion valve, its efficiency gets undermined due to this disadvantage.
This is a relatively cheaper and easy to install category of the expansion valve. It can be adjusted to any desired shape and helps process the flow of the refrigerant quite conveniently throughout the pipes.
The thermostatic expansion valve operates in a unique way. It regulates the amount of refrigerant flow in the evaporator coils and when the temperature inside the coil reduces, the flow increases and vice versa. This is one of the most suitable expansion valves that can be installed inside an air conditioning unit.
In the float type expansion valve, two different floats are used. They are termed as high side and low side floats. The low side float directs the flow of the refrigerant. When the amount of refrigerant reduces inside the evaporator coil, the low side float operates to process the flow of the refrigerant from the valve and the cycle goes on.
Without an expansion valve, the air conditioner cannot operate. This is one of the most important components of the air conditioning unit. It helps to lower the temperature of the refrigerant which then absorbs the heat from the room.
It not only lowers the temperature of the refrigerant but also holds the pressurized hot refrigerant behind itself. Any sort of leakage or blocking in this expansion valve is potentially dangerous.
It is important to get the expansion valve cleaned regularly in order to improve the performance of the entire air conditioner. When there is a leakage in the valve, it is no longer capable of limiting the flow of refrigerant. Instead, excessive amounts of refrigerant may flow into the evaporator coil. As a result, the refrigerant won’t experience a significant enough temperature drop to absorb heat from the inside air.
Sometimes, blockage in the expansion valve can occur due to clogged dust particles or debris inside the pipe. When this happens, it blocks the passage of the refrigerant through the expansion valve. Since this refrigerant is hot and pressurized liquid prior to passage through the expansion valve, it can become catastrophically damaging. The entire air conditioning system can get damaged and may also result in an accident.
The aircon valve isn’t immune to damage and malfunction just like any other component of your air conditioner. It is best to let a professional aircon technician check for any defects in your aircon valve. Regular maintenance checks can assess all the components of your air conditioner including the expansion valve, ensuring maximum cooling efficiency and saving you from potentially bigger maintenance and repair costs in the long run.

Home Prices Have Smallest Decline in More Than Four YearsAugust 9, 2011
The percentage of borrowers with negative equity has shrunk and as a result, U.S. home values have had their smallest decline in more than four years according to Zillow Inc, a website with property-value estimates and real estate listings.
The percent of single-family homeowners who owed more on their mortgages than their houses were worth fell to 26.8 percent in the second quarter, down from 28.4 percent in the first.
Home values fell 0.4 percent from the first quarter, the smallest drop since the first three months of 2007. According to Zillow’s chief economist Stan Humphries, the temporary decline in bank repossessions, caused by court delays and paperwork errors, may be preventing a more significant drag on housing prices.
“We do have a slower volume of foreclosures transitioning into the marketplace now,” Humphries said. “And that is helping the near-term performance of the market -- and at the expense of the longer-term performance.”
In 84 percent of the largest U.S. cities, foreclosure filings have dropped, as attorney generals in all states are investigating allegations of shoddy practices by servicers and lenders.
In almost two- thirds of the 154 metropolitan areas surveyed by Zillow, home values increased in the second quarter. 25 U.S. cities had two consecutive quarters of increases.
“It’s a positive that we’re moving in the right direction,” Humphries said. “But I would caution us about being euphoric about these numbers.”

Big Brother Naija season 6 housemate, Michael has stated that fellow housemates, Angel and JMK act like they don’t want to be in the house.
Michael said this on Wednesday, August 25, during his diary session with Biggie when he was asked why he nominated the two ladies for possible eviction.
According to him, he nominated Angel and JMK because they don’t take tasks seriously and mostly act like they don’t want to be in the house.
In his words,
“I nominated Angel because she doesn’t participate in housemates tasks, she’s one of the slowest persons when we’re doing activities
“She’s either slow or sleeping off during one of these activities in the house and that gave me the energy that she doesn’t want to be in the house.
“JMK is also similar to Angel because I get the energy that she doesn’t want to be in the house, it was nothing personal.”

Welcome to Cardona
Cardona Town Council has made recovering its heritage one of the focal points of the town’s social and economic development. In order to ensure its projects fulfil its commitment to managing heritage and to promote cultural tourism, the Historic Cardona Foundation, a private foundation based on a municipal initiative, was established in 2006.
Salt mining and the Salt Valley are Cardona’s raison d’être and explain the splendour of its past. The town’s charter, one of Europe’s oldest, acknowledges the townspeople’s eternal right to obtain salt.
The castle, a fortress that was never breached and the last bastion of Catalan freedom, was the seat of the powerful family of counts-dukes of Cardona, “Kings without a Crown” who were rich salt nobles related to Europe’s major families.
Because of the wealth from salt and Cardona’s strategic location as a crossroads, there developed a medieval town governed by merchants and carriers of goods who built the historic centre of Cardona, which now has cultural heritage of national interest status.
Today Cardona, which is located in exceptional natural surroundings, is to be awarded status as a Health Town where residents and visitors can enjoy a broad range of nature activities.

|U.S. President Jimmy Carter meets with Korean President Park Chung-hee in 1979. / Korea Times file|
By Jon Dunbar
The South Korea-U.S. alliance, while mostly friendly, has been a tug-of-war for decades. But the two countries often find themselves stuck together, incapable of separating.
The 1970s were a time of change, as the U.S. reduced its forces on the Korean Peninsula and looked at ways to reduce more. In June 1971 Richard Nixon withdrew 20,000 troops stationed there, out of a total 61,000, aiming to make South Korea less dependent on U.S. military protection.
Later that decade, the 1977-81 Jimmy Carter administration sought to withdraw even more of the U.S. Forces Korea (USFK), but this time it didn't go so well.
Ph.D. candidate Clint Work will give a lecture for the Royal Asiatic Society Korea Branch on Feb. 19 on Korea-U.S. relations during Carter's administration.
"Many within the U.S. foreign policy and national security bureaucracy viewed U.S. combat forces in South Korea as so deeply embedded within a wider hegemonic structure in East Asia that they could not be withdrawn without undoing that very structure," Work wrote on the RASKB website.
"Carter aimed to make more flexible the U.S. military presence in South Korea and pass a greater share of the defense burden onto Seoul, without at the same time undermining U.S. credibility and control. As it happened, Carter faced enormous opposition and ultimately failed to execute his policy."
Work will reveal his research, done through examination of previously unavailable documents from the U.S. and Korea, as well as oral history and field interviews.
Carter's policy was a failure, but it resulted in a "more mature if still hierarchical alliance relationship."
He points to three key changes resulting from the failed policy: changing from a patron-client relationship to a more equal and integrated one, enhancement of Korean defense capabilities and operational decision-making, and emergence of Korean nationalism and even anti-Americanism.
"These outcomes represented a key turning point in the alliance and remain salient today," he wrote.
Work received his Master's degree in 2013 from the University of Chicago's Committee on International Relations (CIR), where he studied modern U.S.-East Asia relations and South Korean political economy. Following this, he worked as a research assistant in the Seoul office of the International Crisis Group's (ICG). He is now completing his Ph.D. through the Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington, and working as lecturer at the University of Utah's Asia Campus in Incheon.
The lecture, titled "Shifting Hierarchy: Carter's Korean Troop Withdrawal and the Recasting of U.S. Hegemony and Korean Agency within the U.S.-ROK Alliance," starts at 7:30 p.m. in the second-floor lounge of Somerset Palace in downtown Seoul. All are welcome. Non-members pay 10,000 won and students pay 5,000 won. Visit raskb.com for more information.

Within the considered cereals today we find at our disposal buckwheat, also called buckwheat, of which we tell you its properties and benefits, as well as possible uses in the kitchen.
Properties of buckwheat
Although it is included in the diet as cereal and has with these similarities as chemical and nutritional composition, it really is not because it does not belong to the grass family. Sometimes it is also considered a pseudocereal such as quinoa or amaranth.
The main energy source of buckwheat is complex carbohydrates. It is a good source of vegetable protein and fiber for the body and also offers a minimum of unsaturated fats.
Among micronutrients highlights the content potassium, magnesium, iron and phosphorus, and B-Vitamins.
Likewise, buckwheat is a source of various polyphenols with antioxidant properties as French scientists point out and also, with an anti-inflammatory effect in the body.
Benefits of buckwheat
Buckwheat is a good food to include in the diet and obtain quality nutrients, it is also a good option for those who eat a gluten-free diet, either because they are intolerant of it or because they suffer from sensitivity to non-celiac gluten.
On the other hand, because of its richness in fiber and because it has proteins resistant to the digestion of the organism, the consumption of buckwheat can benefit the intestinal function and the microbiota, thus encouraging health as indicated by a study conducted in Japan.
Another benefit attributable to buckwheat is its power to reduce cholesterol in the body, as well as to contribute to cancer prevention and diabetes control through its lower glycemic index and improvements in insulin signaling as concluded by a published review. in 2016.
As we can see, buckwheat is an excellent alternative to cereals that we can include in our usual diet to obtain good nutrients and many benefits.
How to use buckwheat in the kitchen
As we have said, although buckwheat is used as a cereal, it is not a seed that can be used as such prior washing under cold water and cooking, as if it were quinoa. Or, we can use it dry in flour format.
Its seed as such can form a nutritious salad, while with its flour we can make gluten-free bread, or, a bread combined with wheat and oats not suitable for coeliacs but very rich in fiber.
Another option is to prepare simple galettes with asparagus and cheese, ideal for a healthy gluten-free diet.

Testoheal Gel is a 1% testosterone preparation in the form of a gel for application to the skin, intended for replacement therapy. Testosterone gel is one of the most frequently prescribed drugs for patients with low testosterone levels (hypogonadism). This drug raises the level of testosterone in the blood by penetrating through the skin. The inactive ingredients in testosterone gel are: carbomer, ethanol (67.0%), isopropyl myristate, purified water, and sodium hydroxide.
Instructions for the use of Testosterone gel recommend using it in case of a lack of testosterone production, as replacement therapy. The positive effects of using this drug include:
Testosterone gel is intended for use on the skin.
The recommended dosage is 5g of gel (50mg of testosterone), which corresponds to 1 sachet of gel, the contents of which are applied to the skin once a day at about the same time of day, preferably in the morning.
The daily dose should be individually selected, but should not exceed 10g of gel per day. The user can gradually adjust the required dose as the dose increases.
Application should be done on clean, dry and healthy skin on both shoulders or both arms or abdomen and should be done by the user himself. It is not necessary to rub it into the skin.
After opening the sachet, squeeze the entire contents into the palm of your hand and immediately apply to the skin. Allow the gel to dry for at least 3-5 minutes before putting on your clothes. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after use.
Testosterone gel should not be applied to the genitals (penis and scrotum), as the high alcohol content can cause local irritation.
It is advisable that there should be at least 6 hours between applying the gel and bathing or taking a shower. However, occasional showering or bathing 1-6 hours after the application of the gel should not significantly affect the treatment.
Like all medicines, Testosterone gel can have side effects. However, this does not happen in everyone.
At the recommended dose of 5g of gel per day, the most frequently observed side effects are skin reactions at the site of application (e.g., redness of the skin, acne and dry skin).
The following side effects have also been observed:
Memory impairment, high blood pressure, enlarged prostate, diarrhoea, headache, drowsiness, mood swings, decreased libido, nervousness, emotional distress, depression, hair loss, acne, breast tension, breast enlargement, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (benign enlargement of the prostate).
Due to the alcohol content, frequent use can additionally cause skin irritation and dryness

GRAND CANYON WEST, ARIZONA — A Chinese tourist's plan to take a selfie by the rim of the Grand Canyon fell through, well in this case, more—over.
According to David Leibowitz, a spokesman for Grand Canyon West, a 12-person tour group from Hong Kong was visiting the Grand Canyon last Thursday.
According to the SCMP, the group was on day two of a week-long tour of the West Coast when things started to go downhill.
According to AZ Central, while trying to snap a selfie at Eagle Point, adjacent to the Skywalk, a 50-year-old man from Macau accidentally plunged 1000 feet over the edge.
AZ Central reports that according to Leibowitz, a helicopter search later located the man's body at the bottom of the canyon.
His body was transported to the closest hospital by helicopter. His name has not been released.

Back Torque Limiters
Back Torque Limiters - what are they and why would you possibly need one?More commonly known as slipper clutches the back torque limiter has been one of the major growth businesses in motorcycling during the last few years.Its all about grip and smoothness. Motorcycles have tiny tyre contact patches compared to cars and the racers that can manage that contact patch and maximise the grip available will be the winners..
A back torque limiter is a clutch that deliberately slips in a smooth and controlled manner as the rear wheel tries to turn over the engine. Most clutches are simple ramp style mechanisms, a one way ramp and ball mechanism under the centre of the clutch pushes the centre of the multiplate clutch up as the rear wheel tries to drive the engine through the transmission. As a result the clutch disengages as the ‘rising centre’ pushes the pressure plate of the top of the plate stack, disengaging the motor.As soon as the clutch disengages of course there is no source of power to drive the clutch centre up the ramp, and the centre starts to fall, allowing the clutch to re-engage and the process to start again. In practice, depending on the angle of the ramps and the spring pressures chosen the clutch finds an equilibrium that allows only partial engine braking to be transferred through.So why do motorcycles need this mechanism when the engine braking could be a valuable additional brake? It’s all about the way the chassis of a bike is allowed to pitch around to maximise grip in certain circumstances. Lets just consider a bike coming out of one corner and diving into another.. what happens when and why?The bike is leaned right over, the rider applies throttle and the resulting centrifugal force brings the bike upright. As power continues to increase it is better to have the largest possible contact patch on the rear tyre. The bike rolls back on its suspension and loads up the rear tyre, compressing the sidewalls and flattening out a larger than normal contact patch. In addition the rear drive chain is acting to try and extend the rear suspension by the nature of the relation ship between the front drive sprocket, the swingarm pivot point and the rear sprocket. This adds additional pressure on the contact patch and helps move some of the bike weight forward.As the bike enters the next corner the brakes are applied and the front suspension dives, transferring load to the front tyre, flattening that contact patch and allowing more aggressive braking. As the rear tyre sees load transferred the front however the same settings that pushed the rear tyre in to the ground under acceleration are now trying to lift the entire wheel off the ground. The transfer of load to the front, the pitching forward of the entire motorcycle and the desire of the rear wheel to hop as it tries to use whatever grip is left to turn the engine over compression means that any mechanism that can disengage the engine will add to the available grip and will greatly stabilize corner entry feel. One additional benefit is that the ‘slipper clutch’ acts to help reduce engine over-rev as well.One alternative solution is to use the engines throttles to increase the effective tickover level corner by corner to eliminate the engine braking, this has been very successful in recent years amongst race classes using sufficiently sophisticated throttle systems.
The current trend of the increasing use of motorcycle engine/gearbox units in small displacement racing cars, begs the question of whether the slipper clutch is relevant here. In a racing car the potential benefits are more in the way of stopping over-revving and reducing stress on the gearbox, primary gears and crank bearings near the primary gears. Motorcycle constructors typically design gearboxes that are smaller and lighter than their automotive counterparts; this is because the levels of grip are so low and there is no point carrying around a gearbox that is heavier than you can use. Of course, if the bike engine is put into a car chassis, with loads of grip, it can cause problems. The same for over-revving on down shifts. The grip levels afforded by a race car will easily get a motorcycle engine over-revving, without any of the hopping and skipping of the rear wheel that occurs on a bike but which also helps prevent severe engine damage.


Successive U.S. administrations since Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution have viewed Iran as a potential threat to U.S. allies and forces in the Persian Gulf and in the broader Middle East and have sought to limit its strategic capabilities. Iran's moderates appear to see regional threats to Iran as do Iran's hardliners and have made no apparent effort to curb Iran's efforts to acquire weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Even if moderate leaders had sought to do so, they have been largely outmaneuvered on defense and other issues by hardliners who still control the armed forces, internal security services, the judiciary, and key decision-making bodies. In the past, Iran has generally lacked the indigenous skills to manufacture sophisticated conventional arms or independently develop weapons of mass destruction (WMD), and one of Iran's objectives over the past decade has been to obtain the technology and skills to become self-sufficient. Iran has come a long way toward that objective in certain areas, including ballistic missiles and chemical weapons, but in the aggregate, Iran remains reliant on foreign suppliers. This dependence has given the United States some opportunity to work with potential suppliers to contain Iran's WMD capabilities.

Alexandra the Great: The Story of the Record-Breaking Filly Who Ruled the
When a little foal with a white upside-down exclamation point on her forehead was born one morning in Kentucky, the heart of America's horse racing region, problems mounted quickly. Rejected by her mother, the filly would need to be accepted and nursed by another mare. As she grew, the tall, knock-kneed girl remained skinny and scruffy, with paltry muscles. Considered an "ugly duckling," she was unsuitable as a champion racehorse, her owner proclaimed, and must be sold. But two days before the sale, an examination revealed a medical condition—now she was impossible to sell! What would become of this problem filly?Alexandra the Great tells one of the greatest underdog tales in American sports—the story of Rachel Alexandra, who grew up to become one of the most remarkable racehorses in history. Despite dominating every filly her age, her owner refused to let her compete against male horses. When a new owner saw her potential and raced her against bigger, stronger males, Rachel Alexandra thrived and went on to win the Preakness, the first filly to do so in 85 years, and the Woodward, a feat never before achieved by a filly. Having grown into a strong, muscular, dominating athlete, Rachel Alexandra was named 2009 Horse of the Year, broke records, graced the pages of Vogue magazin...

Horses Don't Fly: The Memoir of the Cowboy Who Became a World War I
From breaking wild horses in Colorado to fighting the Red Baron's squadrons in the skies over France, here in his own words is the true story of a forgotten American hero: the cowboy who became our first ace and the first pilot to fly the American colors over enemy lines. Growing up on a ranch in Sterling, Colorado, Frederick Libby mastered the cowboy arts of roping, punching cattle, and taming horses. As a young man he exercised his skills in the mountains and on the ranges of Arizona and New Mexico as well as the Colorado prairie. When World War I broke out, he found himself in Calgary, Alberta, and joined the Canadian army. In France, he transferred to the Royal Flying Corps as an "observer," the gunner in a two-person biplane. Libby shot down an enemy plane on his first day in battle over the Somme, which was also the first day he flew in a plane or fired a machine gun. He went on to become a pilot. He fought against the legendary German aces Oswald Boelcke and Manfred von Richthofen, and became the first American to down five enemy planes. He won the Military Cross for conspicuous gallantry in action. Libby's memoir of his cowboy days in the last years of the Old West evokes a real-life Cormac McCarthy novel. His description of World War I combines a rattling good ac...

HAVE: Fuchsia boliviana Alba berries
Maybe this is a strange place to post this, but there is no exchange section on the Fuchsia forum. As Fuchsias go, Fuchsia boliviana Alba is "Brugmansia-like" in terms of growth habit and size. It has large leaves and can become a small tree. It can also bloom in a 4 inch pot.
My plant is making berries full of seeds. I assume the seeds are viable, although I've only recently planted some. I can send a berry, possibly two depending on supply, for postage to anyone who is interested. Please email me directly.
Each berry has about a couple hundred seeds, I think. They are roughly 3/4 of an inch long.
Here's what my fairly small plant looks like in bloom. It is basically a zone 10 plant, which prefers cool summers, but I'm told can tolerate heat.
Here is a link that might be useful:

I've seen patterns for potholders but was always afraid to try them. Now that I know others use them and don't get burned, maybe I'll give it a try!
Now I just need to find a pattern for a potholder mitten. I'm a little klutzy so I like to have the top of my hand protected too, in case I bump the other shelf inside the oven!
I know this is an old post, but I thought I'd share a pattern for an oven mitt that uses Helena's Potholder Stitch that milksmom linked to in the original post. It works really well and you won't burn your hand.
I absolutely LOVE this dress, and would love to make it, but before I stress myself out in the process I was wondering what bra can be worn with this dress? I have a 30G bust so my bra options are pretty limited... Please someone tell me it is possible
I am looking for a pattern/tute of a wallet/organizer that opens up like a book like a daytimer sort of deal.. i'm not sure what to call it .. lol. something small with credit card slots and other little nooks in it.. i'd really appreciate any help? thanks so much!!
Hi there! Last week I did these two cases....I saw this idea in an art street market and I just made it. The most difficult thing is calculating where do you must to sew the beginning of the zipper because it will determine the width and the length of your case. If you have that clear the sewing matter is quite simple. My first creation was the toilet kit. This was made by denim in the outside and by white cotton fabric in the inside. [images] My second creation, the glasses case, was made by leather and the lining was polar (this fabric is very soft so I thought it would be perfect for the glasses). [images] I hope you like my cases. If you made some of them, please show it to me! Thanks for reading!!
When I saw this post, I immediately thought of this tutorial on Creadoo. My German is a little rusty, so I couldn't really translate it (and I was never very good at reading it anyway), but the pictures should give some clue as to how it all goes together.
p.s. i can't seem to embed photos from my flickr into my posts properly. when i grab the html from the "Share This" menu it ends up just posting all the code instead. i'm no expert, but as far as i can recall from what i learned during my myspace profile personalization days, pasting the html code of a picture is supposed to embed it, right? should i be doing something differently?
Another quick and dirty solution is to right click on the images, go to "Properties", and copy the image URL. Use that in the link code (with  in place of <>). If you use Firefox, you can right click on the image, choose "Copy Image Location", and proceed as before. This may not be within Flickr's rules; so, check before you do it.

Cydia To Get Rating System
It was confirmed earlier today that the next version of Cydia will have an app rating system similar to that of the App Store. The news came in the form of a screenshot that was posted showing the Cydia page for the package Winterboard 0.9.2600-1. Next to the package number was a star, which was taken to be a form of ratings system.
It was confirmed as true later in the day by Cydia creator and Dev Team member Saurik. A similar concept has been implemented in RiPDev’s “Installer 4″. The ability to rate apps make both options that much more of a viable alternative to the App Store, although both still rely on the ability to jailbreak the device.

Gangbangers somehow found their way into the private reception being held to celebrate the union of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries in Monteceito, CA and spray-painted the letters F-U-K-K over the entire surface of the wedding limo. The newly-married couple was forced to leave the reception in a rented Volvo as all other limos in the area were being used by guests in attendance at the wedding.
No one is really sure why the Humphries/Kardashian wedding was targeted, but rumors are circulating that the gang was hired by an A-List Hollywood celebrity who finally lost it when she realized the Kardashian family was picking up another member with a “K” name.
“There’s Kim, of course, and Kourtney and Khloe, but when Kim went and married a guy named Kris, spelled with a “K” instead of the traditional spelling ‘Chris,’ she realized just how far the Kardashians would go to keep their ‘brand’ in the public eye.”
While the source could not be forced into outing the celebrity who may have paid the gangbangers to debase the Kardashian lovemobile, she would say this “The new couple haven’t decided on a honeymoon location just yet, but suffice it to say, they have definitely ruled out Paris.”

Howe was speaking after his side held Albion to a 0-0 draw at the Amex on Saturday (August 14).
Brighton dominated for large periods but were thwarted by an inspired Nick Pope, whilst Solly March and Joel Veltman saw efforts cleared off the line. Pascal Gross also squandered a golden chance from close range late on.
“Let’s not underestimate how good Brighton are,” Howe said when analysing the ‘valuable point’.
"They’ve just returned from beating Manchester United at Old Trafford.
“They’ve done very well in the Premier League over a number of years.”
Howe praised the quality of the squad assembled by Potter, adding: “They are very good on the ball.
“They are very difficult to play against as they are tactically superb.
“There’s no underestimating how good they can be. It’s certainly a big point for us.”
Howe said he watched Brighton’s win at Old Trafford and felt they did ‘very well as the away team in lots of aspects there’.
“Today I thought they did very well, second half,” he said.
“I think he [Potter] has done an outstanding job and deserves all the credit that he gets from the media and around the country.
“He’s a top top coach.”


Alaskan Bush People Spoilers: Matt Brown Talks About His Addiction Recovery, Admits He Slipped
Alaskan Bush People spoilers and updates reveal star Matt Brown has not been seen on the Discovery Channel show for a couple of seasons now. In a recent video he published on Instagram, the eldest son of the Brown family gave his fans an update about his addiction recovery.
Matt revealed that he has been sober for a year now. It may come as a surprise for some fans, since he was supposed to be clean for 2 years already after checking out of the Betty Ford Rehabilitation Centre in Los Angeles, California.
Alaskan Bush People Spoilers – Matt Brown Talks Slipping
In the video, the 37-year-old reality TV star confessed that he relapsed three times from his alcohol addiction. He said, “I hit a milestone- one year completely sober. For the past three years, I’ve been in sobriety, but I’ve slipped three times. And the last time I slipped was on the 20th of March last year.”
He went to say that “slips” happen and it’s human to struggle from time to time as life can be tough. Still, he added, “Never give up. Never surrender, and don’t surrender to fear.”
Alaskan Bush People Updates – Living Away from the Cameras
Matt Brown’s latest admission came more than a month after the passing of his father, Billy Brown. The Alaskan Bush People patriarch died on February 7 after a seizure. Matt, who has been living in the Golden State away from his family and the Discovery cameras, shortly revealed that he and his father had been estranged for a while. They were able to mend their relationship just before Billy passed away.
Matt shared that since he was aware that his father has been having health issues, he has an idea of what’s coming. He said that he is glad he reconciled with his father and found closure with him just before he left.
View this post on Instagram
Matt has also been quiet on social media over the past months. He only posts once in a while. It was recently revealed that he is facing two charges of sexual assaults, which were filed by two women in 2018. It was the same time that he entered the rehab for the second time. Given these charges, it is unlikely to see Matt return to the Alaskan Bush People.
There are also reports that two of his brothers do not speak to him because of the charges. It is expected that Matt will live on his own for now and won’t be brought back to the show.
Be sure to catch up on everything happening with Alaskan Bush People right now. Come back here often for Alaskan Bush People spoilers, news, and updates.

Chinese human rights activist Chen Guangcheng told CNN in his first in-depth TV interview since his dramatic escape from house arrest, about his departure from China and his continuing concern for family and friends he left behind.
|Do You Like this Article? Then Like Us on Facebook.|
He also spoke about tasting freedom recently.
Chen Guangcheng spoke with CNN's Anderson Cooper about his daring escape from house arrest, and concern for his family and friends who are still in China, in an interview on the "Anderson Cooper 360°" program Thursday.
Chen told CNN: "I haven't been able to feel (nature) for a long time."
Chen who is blind, said: "I had some time to soak in the sun and feel the breeze. I just felt I hadn't been able to do that in so long. I have missed out for too long. "
Asked about speaking out against China, he said, "It was natural for me, it was very natural for me. I feel it's in people's nature to want to stop evil and embrace the good."
His experience being under house arrest in China, he said, brought much suffering.
"I want to correct one thing here," Chen said. In the future, he continued, "let's not use the word 'house arrest' but instead let's use the term 'illegal detention.' It's hard for me to describe what it was like during that time. But let's just say that my suffering was beyond imagination."
Chen made his comments Thursday morning in an exclusive with CNN's Anderson Cooper, airing in Primetime Thursday night.
Chen's arrival in the United States on Saturday brought an end to a diplomatic firestorm between Beijing and Washington that erupted after he escaped from house arrest in the Shandong province, according to an online article at CNN's webpage.

RTE's referendum debate 'ruined by reprehensible jeering'
RTE's live televised abortion debate on Monday night was branded "demeaning" and "reprehensible" by the chair of the Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment.
Senator Catherine Noone said she would not like to take part in a similar debate again because of the level of jeering and inappropriate behaviour during the show.
Health Minister Simon Harris agreed, comparing the debate to a football match.
Ms Noone criticised RTE's staging of the show, saying host Claire Byrne "did her best in the circumstances" but it should have been organised better.
The senator appeared on a heated debate on RTE's Claire Byrne Live where groups from both sides of the campaign on repealing the Eighth Amendment persistently shouted each other down. Booing and heckling were prominent throughout, while audience members also clapped and cheered.
Ms Noone was seated in the audience and made a contribution to the show from her seat.
Yesterday, she said it was an unpleasant experience.
"I thought at the mention of Savita Halappanavar's name that jeering, despite the context, was beyond reprehensible," she said.
"I felt it was a demeaning environment to be in and the level of aggression, particularly on the No side, was something that was hard to relate to.
"I think Claire did her best in the circumstances. I think the programme could have been organised much better and I would hope other programmes would learn from it."
Mr Harris said people on both sides of the debate needed to be more respectful before the referendum.
"You cannot have this whooping, jeering and hollering when you are talking about such a sensitive matter that has impacted so many women and their partners in this country," he said.
A spokeswoman for RTE said Yes and No campaigns were given fair opportunities to air arguments and both sides did so "passionately and trenchantly".
"The panel was composed of three speakers on each side of the argument and the audience was evenly divided," she said.
"Impartial analysis of the Claire Byrne Live Referendum Special will show that when the number of speakers on each side of the referendum question and the airtime afforded to them are both taken into account, the programme gave an equitable and fair opportunity to both sides."

To say Janelle Monáe, an actual icon, got the crowd going at Ralph Lauren's Fall 2019 RTW show on Saturday night would be an understatement. She had people in a full-blown trance. The NYC venue — a Wall Street ballroom that Lauren transformed into a swingin' 1920s-esque nightclub — was completely immersed in the 33-year-old singer's powerful vocals as she performed jazz hits, such as Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon" and Nat King Cole's "Smile."
She also sang some of her own songs, including "Look Into My Eyes" and "Come Alive." Her performance of the latter was easily the highlight of her set as she weaved through the tables — and even crawled on the ground — crooning, shimmying, and getting attendees to sing along with her. Monáe got so into the music, she carelessly flung someone's food in the air before kicking off her heels (both of which have so much meme potential). It's no wonder guests — including Anna Wintour, Henry Golding, and Luka Sabbat — couldn't stop smiling throughout the buoyant performance. Ahead, watch her take the stage at the 28:40 mark!

Pure undiluted cannabis essential oil is a green concentrated, sticky, resinous substance that is considered highly volatile, and its component parts are very powerful, including monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and other highly active organic compounds. It is extracted by steam distillation from the flowers and upper leaves of cannabis plants, which are in the Cannabis genus. The essential oil is primarily made and distributed from France and various other European countries, but its exportation is somewhat limited by, as mentioned above, the legal ramifications of what cannabis essential oil is derived from.
Hash oil is an extracted cannabis product that may utilize any part of the plant. Ideally, the final product will not contain any residual traces of solvents. It is generally thought to be indistinct from traditional hashish according to the 1961 UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (Schedule I and IV) as it is "the separated resin, whether crude or purified, obtained from the cannabis plant".
The body produces its own chemicals called endocannabinoids that modulate biological processes throughout the entire body. As such, these endocannabinoids have wide-ranging effects on everything from fertility to pain. Phytocannabinoids are compounds found in nature that influence and support the ECS. They are the compounds responsible for the health benefits of Thorne’s Hemp Oil +.

Cannabinoids are a class of compounds that interact with receptors throughout your body. CBD is just one of dozens of cannabinoids found in cannabis, including tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the one responsible for marijuana’s famous high. Medical cannabis is technically any cannabis product used for medicinal purposes, and these can contain THC or CBD or both, said Nick Jikomes, a neuroscientist at Leafly, a website that provides information about legal cannabis. “A common mistake people make is to think that CBD is ‘the medical cannabinoid’ and THC is ‘the recreational cannabinoid.’” That’s inaccurate, he said, because THC is a potent anti-inflammatory and can be helpful for pain.
Hash oil or cannabis oil is an oleoresin obtained by the extraction of cannabis or hashish. It is a concentrated form of the plant containing many of its resins and terpenes – in particular, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), and other cannabinoids. There are a variety of extraction methods, but most involve a solvent such as butane or ethanol. Hash oil is usually consumed by smoking, vaporizing or eating but sometimes other methods are employed. Hash oil is sometimes sold in cartridges to be used with pen vaporizers.
CBD oil products are liquid drops of hemp which are taken orally. They are non-psychoactive and are available in low and high concentrations. Hemp oil tinctures are easy-to-use and offer all of the benefits associated with CBD. Hemp oil can be used sublingually via a dropper, or it can be added to your food and beverages which is why most customers have made it their go-to CBD product.
If you’re just diving into the world of CBD, we recommend a starting serving size of two to three milligrams. From there, you can work your way up to 100 or even 200 milligrams, after you’ve taken the time to gradually observe how CBD affects your body and mind.

Review: Frank Einstein and the Antimatter Motor
Frank Einstein and the Antimatter Motor by Jon Scieszka
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Book description from Goodreads:
Frank Einstein and the Antimatter Motor
by Jon Scieszka, Brian Biggs (Illustrations)
4.0 of 5 stars 4.00 · rating details · 25 ratings · 16 reviews
"I never thought science could be funny . . . until I read Frank Einstein. It will have kids laughing."
—Jeff Kinney, Diary of a Wimpy Kid
“Dear Frank Einstein,
Please invent time machine. Send your books back in time to me in 1978.
Also a levitating skateboard.
—Tom Angleberger, The Strange Case of Origami Yoda
Frank Einstein loves figuring out how the world works by creating household contraptions that are part science, part imagination, and definitely unusual. After an uneventful experiment in his garage-lab, a lightning storm and flash of electricity bring Frank’s inventions—the robots Klink and Klank—to life! Not exactly the ideal lab partners, the wisecracking Klink and the overly expressive Klank nonetheless help Frank attempt to perfect his Antimatter Motor . . . until Frank’s archnemesis, T. Edison, steals Klink and Klank for his evil doomsday plan! Using real science, Jon Scieszka has created a unique world of adventure and science fiction—an irresistible chemical reaction for middle-grade readers.
"Kids will love Frank Einstein because even though he is a new character he will be instantly recognizable to the readers...Jon Scieszka is one of the best writers around, and I can't wait to see what he does with these fun and exciting characters."
—Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl
"Jon Scieszka's new series has the winning ingredients that link his clever brilliance in story telling with his knowledge of real science, while at the same time the content combination of fiction and non fiction appeals to the full range of the market."
—Jack Gantos, Dead End in Norvelt
"Scieszka mixes science and silliness again to great effect."
"In refusing to take itself too seriously, it proves that science can be as fun as it is important and useful."
Hardcover, 192 pages
Expected publication: August 19th 2014 by Amulet Books
Awesomely funny and if you don't be careful you just might learn something.
I love how the author and illustrator work together to make science funny and understandable in this story of friendship, creativity, and good vs. bad. This book was our bed time story over a few nights and completely loved by my 9 year old. The benefits of books that open up creativity soar as high as the imagination.
Funny, honorable, and a great book from start to finish.

The Malta Council for Science and Technology (MCST) today launched a new Horizon support scheme aimed at supporting and increasing the participation of Maltese entities in the European Innovation Programme (EIC) under the Horizon Europe banner, the European Union’s main funding instrument for research and innovation.
The Support Scheme will allow participants to apply for up to €10,000 million for the purpose of receiving proposal development support from specialised proposal writers, and business- or pitch-coaching from experienced service providers. This support is intended to help innovative SMEs, or other coordinating entities such as universities, to increase their chances of success.
The EIC is the largest European SME innovation funding instrument, having a €10 billion budget. Its programmes – Pathfinder, Transition and Accelerator – cover all technology development stages, from conception to scale-up. To support Maltese applicants’ success in applying for these programmes, MCST has reviewed its EIC Accelerator Support Scheme, widening its scope to cover applicants who wish to apply for Pathfinder and Transition opportunities in earlier technology development levels.
Primarily aimed at SMEs, but also open to other types of entities like universities or research centres, EIC provides grants of up to €3 million, the possibility of accessing up to €15 million equity investment, as well as a range of other business support services. Being a highly competitive fund, MCST’s timely reform of this support scheme will give more Maltese businesses and researchers a better chance in their endeavours to acquire EU funding.

Doug Rainear has a friend running to his defense in the DJ today:
During my travels recently, the many conversations being discussed were about a longtime friend of mine — Doug Rainear (Cumberland County surrogate).
He made an unpopular decision in a pledge he made to his constituents. He is not the first as an elected official to break a promise, and I am sure he won’t be the last. Is it the right thing to do? No, but it happens.
The topic of constitutional officers’ salaries has been an issue for years and our legislators must address it immediately. This issue cannot continue to be a political football during campaigns by political parties and candidates. This issue only continues to smear the good names of good people who chose public service.
Being a public servant is not an easy job. You have to make many sacrifices in serving. Not everyone is willing to do this.
It is unfortunate that in a matter of days many of us forgot all the good that Doug Rainear has done for us. Doug is a good person with a great family, and his concern with this issue was just that — his family, and I can believe it.
He will always be a good friend of mine, and I will always remember the good things he has done for my township, county and my family.
Happy holidays, Doug, to you and your entire family. May the new year bring you the best of health and happiness.
What is interesting is that the writer never once mentions or enumerates any of the supposed “good things” that Doug has allegedly done. I know the bad things he has done, including writing a letter to the editor slandering my name to further his political race, a letter that had nothing to do with politics.
I know he is a double-dipper, and at one time had THREE different health plans courtesy of the public, one of which he exchanged for cash payments.
I know he made only ONE promise to get elected, and that was to take a reduced salary. I know he broke that promise, and apologized and decided to honor it only AFTER I had made his betrayal public before any local news outlet reported.
I know that he does not work a 40-hour work week, unless his predecessor. I expect a public employee to be in the office Monday through Friday, from 8-4. That is what they get paid to do. If Doug doesn’t want a 40-hour a week job, I know plenty of people that do.
I understand there are other broken promises – perhaps our faithful readers will fill us in…

- Property Type:
- Single Tenant
- Cap Rate:

- 8,400 sqft
- Lot Size:
- 0.63 acres
- Price Per Square Foot:
- Year Built:
- Three-Year NNN Lease in Place With Defiant Engineering
- Strategically Located Industrial Warehouse With Proximate Access to Major Freeways
- 2015 Construction With 15 Free Concrete Parking Spaces
- Highly Functional Asset With 2 Grade-Level Doors With Both Office Space and Warehouse
- As Residential Areas Continue to Boom, So Will Desire for Industrial Warehouse Space
- Only 112,000 Square-Feet of Development Within Area, Meaning Property Will Be Sought After for Years to Come
- When Property Was Vacant, Space Was on Market for 1 Day
Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire the property located at 828 Farm to Market Road 1960 in Houston, Texas, leased to Defiant Engineering on a three-year triple net lease. The subject property consists of approximately 8,400 square feet of space and is situated on .63 acres of land. Constructed in 2015, the asset features two grade level doors and 15 free concrete parking spaces. The highly functional asset consists of office and warehouse space. The asset is strategically located with proximate access to major freeways, including Interstate 45 and the Hardy Toll Road.
The North Hardy Toll Road submarket has continuously expanded in recent years, particularly with the arrival of larger distribution tenants. In response to steady demand levels, investors have developed a number of speculative projects in the submarket over the last two years, pushing the vacancy rate from 4.8 percent in Q2 2019 to 13.4 percent in Q1 2021. However, demand remains resilient in North Hardy Toll Road, with the current vacancy rate falling back to 11.6 percent and projected to drop below 10 percent next year. Despite the relatively high vacancy rate, industrial rents continue to grow at 1.9 percent annually and should extend those gains as vacancies continue to fall. The North Hardy Toll Road submarket is ideally located between the heavily trafficked Interstate 45 and Sam Houston Tollway, fully encompassing the George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Since 2010, more than 80 percent of Harris County’s population growth has occurred in its unincorporated areas, the majority immediately to the west and increasingly to the east of the submarket
(CoStar). As the surrounding residential areas continue to boom, so will the desire for industrial warehouse space. With only 112,00 square feet of industrial development within proximity of the subject property, this asset will be sought after for years to come.
As the fifth most populous metro area in the U.S., Houston houses nearly 6.9 million people in southeastern Texas. The market is composed of nine counties: Harris, Galveston, Brazoria, Fort Bend, Chambers, Montgomery, Austin, Liberty and Waller. The Gulf of Mexico, which borders the metro to the southeast, provides access to markets around the world via the Port of Houston, making it a prime location for import/export. Houston’s economy has diversified in recent years, with the healthcare and technology sectors showing strong growth. As Houston’s population continues to grow, primarily to the northwest, many companies are expanding to the region to provide goods and services to the increasing population.


If you thought your child was going to soon die would you offer the child’s organs to the parents of another critically ill child in the hospital? This scenario is now playing out in Canada. Each family faces possible heart break at the loss of their recently born child.
As always, the concept of organ donation raises many questions and serves as a reminder that in many nations lists for a request of an organ transplant are long. Many patients in need of a transplant die without ever receiving the life saving organ.
A blog at the New York Times reports that in Toronto, at the Hospital for Sick Children, two female babies born in the early months of 2009 are fighting for their lives in the intensive care unit. One child, Lillian O’Connor has a congenital heart defect: truncus arteriosus; she needs a heart transplant to survive. The other baby, Kaylee Vitelli Wallace, has Joubert’s Syndrome; in this disorder she fails to breathe upon falling into slumber.
Kaylee’s father, Jason, has offered her heart to the parents of Lillian O’ Connor upon Kaylee’s death. It was believed that Kaylee would not survive upon disconnection from the ventilator. However, Kaylee has now been taken off the ventilator and continues to breathe on her own.
According to the National Post “with this form of cardiac donation, the heart must stop beating for five minutes before she can be legally declared dead and the transplant can begin.”
It seems a rare quirk of fate that these two very young babies are at the same hospital. Also, the sets of parents involved have agreed not only to try to save the life of one child if the other dies and could donate the heart, but also to make this decision public.
After several days of ongoing life without the ventilator, Kaylee’s parents have now decided to maintain Kaylee’s privacy. So the world prays and waits, wondering what the outcome of this emotional saga will be.
In Canada and American, too many people are dying while they spend years on the list to receive a donated organ. Many people have the good intention of donating their organs; however since they did not notify their family members the organs are too often not donated. Thus it is crucial to fill out an organ donor card and have family members sign the card as witnesses. Also list in your will and any living will documents that you wish to donate your organs upon death.
I have always felt it is a good deed to donate any viable organs upon one’s death. A health crisis in America is complicated enough due to health insurance policies that too often do not cover all of the costs of major medical treatment. Add to that stress the uncertainty of not knowing if a donated organ will appear in time to save one’s life and it is easier to understand the crucial need for more Americans to sign organ donor cards.

Mumbai: Slamming Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray over the loudspeakers-on-mosques issue, MNS president Raj Thackeray on Tuesday cautioned the Shiv Sena-led MVA government against “testing the patience” of his party in the matter.
In a letter addressed to the chief minister, Raj, who perhaps for the first time addressed his estranged cousin as Uddhav Thackeray, said over 28,000 MNS workers have been served preventive notices, while thousands have been externed.
This (police action) is for what? To not remove loudspeakers from mosques that are leading to noise pollution? he questioned.
He said the police are looking for leaders of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena as if they are Pakistani terrorists or ‘Razakars’ under the erstwhile Nizam rule.
It makes me ponder whether the same high-handedness was shown by the police to find out terrorists or arms hidden in mosques, the MNS chief wondered.
He said Marathi people and Hindus are watching this stance of the state government.
Raj Thackeray had earlier given the May 4 ultimatum to the state government to remove loudspeakers atop mosques and warned that ‘Hanuman Chalisa’ will be played outside mosques at a higher volume if it is not done.
I have only one thing to tell the state government. Do not test our patience. No one has come with the (‘tamrapat’) copper plate of power. Even you have not, Uddhav Thackeray, Raj stated.
On Raj Thackeray’s ultimatum, the state government had said that the Union government should come out with a policy on the use of the public address system.
The Thackeray cousins share a frosty relationship, especially since Raj’s exit from the Shiv Sena, founded by his uncle the late Bal Thackeray, in 2005.
Maintaining a defiant position overplaying Hanuman Chalisa, Raj Thackeray on May 4 asserted that his party will continue with the protests till all sound systems atop mosques are silenced.
