Welcome to the Ashprington and Tuckenhay Parish Council website
Ashprington Parish lies to the south of Totnes and is bordered by the River Dart to the east. It encompasses the hamlets of Painsford, Bow and Tuckenhay where the River Harbourne flows into the Dart providing a delightful setting. This is a mainly rural area though most people live in Ashprington and Tuckenhay.
At the 2011 census the parish had a population of 431: very different from the Ashprington entry in the Doomesday Book in 1086 when it was called Aisbertone and consisted of 8 smallholders, 7 villagers and 4 servants!
Our community offers a wealth of opportunities for activities, volunteering and engagement with friends and neighbours. We have a church in Ashprington (St David’s), three pubs (The Durant Arms in Ashprington and The Maltsters in Tuckenhay and The Waterman’s Arms at Bow Bridge) and a village hall in Ashprington where there are regular activities and social events. Ash Meadow on the north side of Ashprington provides a community orchard and composting facility, playing field, children’s play area and adult exercise equipment, all looked after by a group of local volunteers keen to welcome new people. There are clubs and societies for various interests and exercise classes in the village hall. Sharpham Estate attracts visitors to the cheese dairy, vineyard, café and restaurant, and Sharpham House and Barn offer retreats based on mindfulness and connection with nature.
Health and welfare are well catered for in the parish. There are defibrillators in both Ashprington and Tuckenhay with a VETS (Voluntary Emergency Telephone System) scheme in place to assist in an emergency. The parish has a team of trained first aiders and there is a night landing site for Devon Air Ambulance at Ash Meadow.
For those who like the outdoors, there are many footpaths to explore the lovely countryside, you can cycle into Totnes from Ashprington along the River Dart or explore the network of country lanes, and there is access for water sports on the Harbourne at Tuckenhay.
History lovers need go no further than Tuckenhay with its rich industrial past. The most prominent building is the Mill that once produced paper but now provides high quality holiday accommodation. There is still evidence of quays that were used for the loading and unloading coal, limestone, cider and roadstone as well as a cluster of Grade 11 listed buildings.

The common explanation as to what the primary mechanism of action for organophosphates (and carbamates) is is the inhibition of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase and resulting buildup of acetylcholine at neuromuscular junctions, which ultimately results in respiratory failure. However, there is evidence that this may not be the case.
Firstly, a study reported that the nerve agent VX has been found to attack at least 132 different proteins, some of which were associated with metabolism. Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28267914
Also, another study showed that, even when the enzyme was protected against the action of organophosphates, nerve agents still exhibited toxicity. Source: (http://www.rand.org/publications/MR/MR1018.5/MR1018.5.chap5.html) (Found in the Chapter 5 PDF, under "Non-AchE Effects")
Also also, another study was conducted on the matter. The test subjects were mice genetically engineered to lack acetylcholinesterase. The study found that the mice that totally lacked the enzyme not only lived (For over 34 days, no less), but were also twice as susceptible to OP poisoning as mice with the enzyme and exhibited the same symptoms. Source:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11602663
So, how do organophoshates actually act to cause the symptoms associated with OP poisoning? What proteins do they affect? There seems to be a great abundance of evidence that the effects of poisoning are not due to AchE inhibition.

What is Osteoporosis?Osteoporosis is a disease that thins and weakens the bones to the point that they become fragile and break easily. It is often called a silent disease because you can’t feel your bones getting weaker.
Bone is a living tissue that is in a constant state of regeneration. That is, the body removes old bone (called bone resorption) and replaces it with new bone (bone formation). By their mid-30s, most people begin to slowly lose more bone than can be replaced. As a result, bones become thinner and weaker in structure.
Older people especially women, who are generally smaller and have bones that are lighter and less dense are more likely to develop osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is a chronic condition which has to be properly maintained by making healthy lifestyle changes, avoiding joint damage, and balancing rest and activity.
If the doctor suspects osteoporosis, he or she will talk to the person and do an examination. The doctor will order X-rays of the patient’s bones as well as a bone density test.

The working principle of key switch is introduced in detail.
Release time：2019-08-15 Clicks： Click
What's the working principle of the key switch? What's the details? I'll give you a detailed introduction below.
The key switch is a kind of switch that uses the drive mechanism of the key driver to connect or disconnect the moving contact and the static contact, and then realizes the circuit switching through this switch. So fully understand the principle of button switch, can better grasp the working mode of button switch, so as to make household or industrial power more secure.
We all know that button switch is a kind of switch controller with simple structure, but it is widely used. The key switch can complete a series of basic switch control, such as start, stop, forward and reverse, speed change and so on. Why can the key switch accomplish these controls in a relatively simple structure? This requires a series of analysis from the principle of the key switch.
There are many kinds of button switches, which have different structures. They can be divided into ordinary button-pressing, mushroom head, self-locking, self-resetting, rotary handle, indicator lamp, symbolic and key type, etc. Although the structures are different, their working principles are basically the same. Key switch has single button, double button, three buttons and different combinations. Most of the commonly used structures in families are building blocks. If we want to understand its working principle, we must first know the structure of the key switch and analyze its working principle from the structure.
Since most of the commonly used structures are building blocks, we will understand the principle of some building block button switches by the above figure. First, it has a key cap, so it can be called a key switch. It is the part that controls the whole key switch. Generally speaking, the key switch has two fixed contacts. These fixed contacts are divided into constant closed contacts and constant open contacts. We need to know that the constant closed contacts are disconnected first, and the constant open contacts are closed later. These two constant closed open contacts are the conversion contacts of the whole key switch and are the core parts of the key switch. Then we can see from the figure that there is also a movable contact and wiring in the key switch, which are indispensable parts of the key switch.
Simply put, the working principle of this key switch is to press or pull it out by hand on the key cap, so that it can operate along the bearing in the switch, press or pull out the switch contacts in the switch, and then the key switch can work normally.
The above contents are some simple introduction about the principle of key switch. I hope that through some preliminary understanding of these contents, we can provide you with some small help, so that household or industrial electricity is safer.

This savory Slow Cooker Beef Machaca is perfect if you’re looking for a satisfying Mexican dinner option that’s a little out of the ordinary. Plus, it stores really well, so it’s perfect for meal prep! Whether you like your beef spicy, mild, or hot, this is the recipe for you.
Savory Beef Machaca in the Crockpot!
Beef machaca is a traditional Mexican dish chock-full of amazing flavors and spices. The tender beef is shredded and can then be served in all kinds of ways: with rice, with eggs, in tacos, you name it! Machaca is often found in authentic Mexican restaurants, but lucky for all of us, it’s also possible to make a tasty homemade version that you can season and change to your heart’s content.
To get the most succulent beef possible, this recipe is made in your crockpot! This also makes it really, really easy. Win-win! ?
While I use beef for this recipe, you could also use pork, or even chicken, if you really want to. You can also adjust the spices, seasonings, and other ingredients to suit your family’s dietary needs, so feel free to play around with it! Even if it’s not totally authentic, it will still be a hearty, flavorful main course.
What’s the Difference Between Machaca and Shredded Beef?
Traditionally, machaca was a form of dried, spiced beef that would stay good for a long time, unrefrigerated – making it perfect for taking on journeys or out on a hard day’s work. It could be simmered and rehydrated as needed.
These days, the drying and rehydrating steps aren’t as necessary, so machaca is much more similar to shredded beef, but it still has that characteristic spice and seasoning blend that gives it an extra-special flavor.
The Ingredients You’ll Need
First off, what will you need for this awesome beef machaca? Well, here’s the list! Be careful, it may cause excessive drooling! ?
- Beef: Chuck roast is my favorite. It has that classic beef taste, and it’s very forgiving. Unlike leaner cuts, chuck roast usually turns out very tender and moist, even if you go over the cooking time somewhat. Other great cuts include rump roast, brisket, and skirt.
- Spices: My personal blend of spices for machaca includes chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper.
- Salt and Pepper
- Oil: A little bit of olive oil for sauteing is just right. No olive oil? No problem! You can also use vegetable oil, avocado oil, etc.
- Bell Pepper: Dice up a bell pepper. Any color is fine.
- Chipotle and Adobo: You’ll need a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce – some of the peppers will go into the dish, plus some of the adobo sauce from the can. If you don’t like spicy food, skip this.
- Onion: I like to use yellow onions, but any kind of onion will work.
- Garlic: Fresh minced garlic is great, or you can substitute a little extra garlic powder.
- Tomatoes: Canned, diced tomatoes with chilies add a nice, spicy touch and plenty of tangy goodness. If you don’t have canned tomatoes with chilies, you can substitute regular canned tomatoes instead.
- Broth: Beef broth is great for slow-cooking this beef dish. Homemade or store-bought is fine. I typically use low-sodium broth.
- Lime: The juice of one lime balances out the flavors in this dish, and adds a touch of tropical flavor as well.
- For Serving: A simple way to serve your machaca is with corn or flour tortillas, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, and sour cream.
How to Make Beef Machaca in the Crockpot
One of my favorite things about this recipe is that it is a slow cooker recipe. The crockpot does nearly all of the work! You can let this one simmer away all day while you get other things done. Perfection!
- Prepare the Beef. Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels. If you want, cut it into about 6 chunks; this will make it easier to shred later on.
- Seasoning the Beef. Combine the salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and cayenne pepper in a small mixing bowl. Then rub the chuck roast all over with the seasoning mix.
- Cook the Beef. Heat up 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chuck roast to the pan, and sear on all sides. Place the browned beef into the insert of your slow cooker.
- Add the Other Ingredients, and Slow Cook. Add the diced bell peppers, onions, garlic, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, diced tomatoes with chilies, broth, and lime juice to your slow cooker. Cover the slow cooker with the lid, and cook the beef on low for 6 to 8 hours. The meat should be very tender and falling apart by the end of the cooking time. The goal for perfectly tender beef is an internal temperature of 205˚F to 215˚F. You’ll know it’s ready when the meat falls apart as you pierce it with a fork. If it feels tight, keep cooking it until it’s tender.
- Shred the Beef. Remove the meat from the slow cooker, and place it on a cutting board. Shred it with two forks.
- Blend the Sauce and Return the Beef to the Crockpot. If you want, you can blend the sauce! Using an immersion blender, blend the cooking liquid in the slow cooker until it is smooth and thickened. Place the shredded beef back into the pot, and gently toss it to coat.
- Serve. Taste the machaca for salt and pepper and adjust accordingly. Serve with corn or flour tortillas, if desired, and topped with cheese, lettuce, and sour cream.
Helpful Tips and Tricks
Here are a few helpful tips and tricks that can help you to achieve success when you’re making your beef machaca.
- Make It Crispy: If you want the beef to be more dried and crispy, you can spread it out on a sheet pan and broil it for a few minutes. You can also toss it in a hot skillet to dry it out a little and make it crispy.
- Control the Heat: The main spicy elements in this dish are the chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, tomatoes with chilies, and cayenne. If you need to dial down the spice, you can definitely use less of the chipotle peppers and sauce, omit the cayenne, and swap the tomatoes with chilies for regular canned tomatoes instead.
- Make-Ahead: You may find that you enjoy machaca even more the next day, after the flavors have had even more time to blend and meld, so feel free to cook this a day in advance. It stores very well!
Tasty Serving Suggestions
Machaca is perfect served simply with tortillas and toppings, as this recipe suggests. It is definitely a versatile dish, though, and is great with all kinds of other side dishes! These are just a few of the options out there:
- Coleslaw: This Classic Southern Coleslaw Recipe is not a Mexican dish, but you can’t beat its cool, creamy tanginess with hot, spicy machaca! Serve it alongside your tacos for a super satisfying side.
- Corn: Corn on the cob, creamed corn, corn kernels… all of them are great, but in this case, I have to vote for Elote! Also known as Mexican street corn, is made with sweet fresh corn, mayo, Cotija cheese, and a sprinkling of tasty seasonings. This recipe is a mouthwatering side dish for any Mexican meal.
- Guacamole: I’m always up for any excuse to serve guacamole – it’s just that good. And this Fresh Mango Guacamole is so bursting with cilantro and fresh mango, it will make your tastebuds rejoice! Serve it with your slow-cooked machaca, and you’ve got the makings of one fine fiesta.
How to Store and Reheat Leftovers
- To store your beef machaca, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- To reheat your beef machaca, heat it on low heat on the stovetop, or in the microwave, stirring often until heated through.
Can I Freeze Slow Cooker Beef Machaca?
- Yes. To freeze this recipe, just pack the machaca into an airtight container or freezer bag. Be sure to cool it down first.
- Keep it in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Growing up, I didn’t watch a lot of movies. We had a few specific DVDs that I would watch over and over, but that was about it, and we rarely went to the movie theater. The last couple of years, though, I’ve realized how much I love movies. I’ve started going to the movie theater a lot more and watching a ton of movies on Netflix. I even have a client that’s an entertainment website, so I get to write about movies, which is pretty cool. All of that being said, I randomly came across this movie tag and thought it looked really cool. I’m aware that there are quite a few gaps in my cinematic knowledge (for instance, I’m 20 and I saw Titanic for the first time last weekend), and my taste in movies is very diverse. But I’m working on filling in those gaps just as fast as I can!
Favorite action film?
Black Panther or Baby Driver. I absolutely loved both of those.
Favorite comedy film?
The Parent Trap. Classic. I will never not enjoy re-watching that movie.
Favorite “dark humor” or “black comedy” film?
I haven’t seen any black comedy films (that I’m aware of).
Favorite scene from this film?
Favorite animated film?
Fun fact about me: I can’t stand animated movies. I really, really, really just don’t like them. That being said, my friends Emma and Hannah had me watch Kubo and the Two Strings about a year ago and I absolutely loved it! Beyond that, I can’t think of any animated movies I like. I haven’t seen most of the classic animated movies, honestly, like The Lion King, Finding Nemo, and Shrek. I’m just really not into animation.
Favorite short film?
Favorite romance film?
To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before or Titanic. SO GOOD, both of them. Just those gifs are making me grin like an idiot. I also like La La Land and Beauty and the Beast–the 2017 Emma Watson one, not the animated one. 😉
Favorite biographical film?
Hidden Figures. I absolutely love the story of those strong, sassy, intelligent women who wouldn’t let anything stand in their way. I love the acting, the blended soundtrack, and the aesthetic (warm color tones, soul music, heels clicking). This movie reinforces how much of a math person I am NOT, lol, but I love it anyway and it’s such an important story.
Favorite drama film?
Dunkirk. Dunkirk is quite possibly my favorite movie of all time. Every aspect of it is just so well-done and I love, love, LOVE it. Also, Good Will Hunting (although “favorite” isn’t really the right term for that one, lol).
Favorite music-themed film?
I guess La La Land? I’m not totally sure what’s meant by “music-themed.”
Favorite indie film?
I really want to see Ashes in the Snow, which is an adaptation of Ruta Sepety’s (one of my favorite authors) book Between Shades of Gray.
Favorite book adaptations?
I know a lot of people don’t like the Narnia and Harry Potter movies, but I do. They’re obviously not perfect, but I think they’re really really really good and they have a very special place in my heart. I re-watch them a lot.
Films you want to see but never get around to watching?
A few titles that are currently on my list to watch: Schindler’s List, Saving Private Ryan, American Sniper, High School Musical (lol), The King’s Speech, and a bunch of Marvel movies.
I haven’t seen The Theory of Everything, but I have that movie’s soundtrack memorized. It’s been the background music to so many of my novels and short stories during the last few years. Every note of it is absolute perfection and makes me Feel Things™.
Film you refuse to see?
I refused to see Everything Everything when it came out and I refuse to see Five Feet Apart, which is coming out next month. The book Everything Everything really bothered me because it was ableist and did not accurately represent individuals with chronic illnesses, so for the sake of my mental health I didn’t see the movie. I don’t know whether Five Feet Apart is going to do a better job of that or not, but I’m not going to see it just in case (even though I want to, because Cole Sprouse is in it lol).
Film that you can’t wait for it to come out?
Spider-Man Far From Home!!! So excited! The new live-action Dumbo movie also looks cute and I’m interested in the new Aladdin.
Another fun fact about me: I cry at movies ALL. THE. TIME. If I didn’t cry, it’s not a movie. Dunkirk made me cry. Mona Lisa Smile made me cry. Free Willy made me cry. Crying about movies is my favorite thing to do, tbh. So basically, it doesn’t matter whether or not a given movie is a so-called “tearjerker”–I’m probably going to cry anyway. I’ve been known to cry at documentaries, okay?
Remake you wish had never been made?
Can’t really think of any. (Although, WHY are we getting a Frozen 2? Ugh.)
Best film you’ve seen in 3D?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a movie in 3D.
Most beautiful film? (in terms of cinematography)
Can’t think of any at the moment.
Movie that didn’t meet your expectations?
I was excited about the Maze Runner movies, but the first one really just didn’t do it for me (I LOVED The Death Cure, though). I wasn’t nearly as enthralled with Mary Poppins Returns as I had hoped to be, and the same goes for The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. It was good, but I didn’t love it like I’d hoped to.
Movie that exceeded your expectations?
Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald BLEW ME AWAY. Literally, it was SO SO much better than I expected it to be. There was also a modern-day retelling of Little Women that came out last year, and I wasn’t sure how I felt about it, but I ended up loving it.
Best cinema experience?
I saw The Greatest Showman in theaters three times and each time was better than the last. Seeing Crimes of Grindelwald on opening night was also so much fun because it was the first time I had seen a Harry Potter movie in a theater. I felt like a real fan!
Most surprising movie moment?
I’ve been thinking about this for a while and can’t think of anything.
Favorite dance sequence in a movie?
The La La Land opening scene where they dance on top of cars on the freeway!
Most disturbing movie you’ve ever seen?
I make a point to not watch disturbing movies. 🙂 I do remember watching this one movie about aliens and cornfields at a friend’s birthday party that was pretty creepy when I was younger. (I think it was Signs.)
In a year or two, I’m looking forward to doing this tag again and seeing how my answers have changed!
If you want to do this tag, feel free–and tell me a few of your favorite movies in the comments.

If Facebook's new digital currency goes according to plan, it could one day compete with payment giants Visa Inc., Mastercard Inc. and PayPal Holdings Inc. But for now, all three are set to work with the social-media company on the venture.
The currency, called Libra, will launch as soon as next year. It’s what’s known as a stablecoin, one that can avoid massive fluctuations in value so it can be used for everyday transactions. Industry experts and insiders say the payments companies want a seat at the table to help shape the new currency.
“It’s not unusual for the incumbents—Visa, Mastercard, PayPal—to partner with a disruptor,” Harshita Rawat, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein, said in an interview. “They would at least want to participate in how this product is being developed.”
New payment methods such as Apple Pay and other mobile wallets are often slow to take off, so any competition is likely to be years away. Still, the earlier payments companies come to the project, the more time they have to ensure their businesses don’t suffer.
None of these companies has been shy about pursuing collaboration or other strategic opportunities. PayPal alone has spent billions of dollars buying or investing in potential partnerships as well as competitors. While PayPal hasn’t ventured into cryptocurrencies before, it was a proponent of the blockchain technology that will be used to build Libra.
Visa and Mastercard are always looking to embed themselves in emerging payment forms. Both have developed partnerships with cryptocurrency and blockchain firms. They’ve said that Libra can help more people gain access to financial products.
“We think cryptocurrencies can address use cases that are not really well served today,” such as areas where cash-based payments remain prominent, said Jorn Lambert, executive vice president of digital solutions at Mastercard. “As such we think it will be incremental to what we do and not a replacement of it.”
The payment companies are part of the Libra Association, giving them a say in how the cryptocurrency is managed. There’s currently no time commitment, so members can leave at any time. Once the group’s charter is finalized, there will be a minimum time commitment, according to some members of the group who asked not to be identified discussing private matters.
“My sense is that they will try their best to partner and engage with Facebook,” Rawat said. “If Facebook takes the angle that they want to disintermediate card payments, then I think they may not want to participate.”
Facebook shares rose 1.4% to $191.61 as of 11:12 a.m. in New York after announcing the cryptocurrency venture.

JAKARTA, Indonesia — President Abdurrahman Wahid suffered a major defeat Wednesday when the parliament he once called a "kindergarten" voted overwhelmingly to push ahead with his ouster.
By a vote of 365-4, lawmakers decided to convene a special session of the country's highest constitutional body, the People's Consultative Assembly, to decide whether to remove the unpredictable president from office.
As lawmakers debated Wahid's future, about 1,000 of his supporters broke through police barricades outside the parliament building and entered the grounds. The crowd faced off with well-armed riot police for more than two hours before retreating and heading to the presidential palace.
The ongoing political crisis and frequent violence have brought chaos to the world's fourth-most populous country and threaten to trigger an economic collapse that could spread beyond Indonesia's borders.
Wahid has predicted a "nationwide rebellion" if he is kicked out of office and has said at least three provinces of this fractious country will declare independence. Some of his foes say the president is promoting anarchy with such statements.
Wednesday's parliament vote appeared to give Wahid, who has squandered much of the support he once enjoyed as the country's debt rises and its currency falls, little chance of hanging on to his job. But a spokesman said the president has no intention of resigning.
Already, the votes are stacked against him. All 500 members of parliament belong to the 700-member People's Consultative Assembly. A simple majority of 351 is all that is required to unseat Wahid--14 fewer than voted against him Wednesday.
The assembly, which also includes regional officials, will be convened by August, but no date has been set. The sooner the session is held, the less time Wahid will have to win back the support he needs to stay in office.
Parliament Speaker Akbar Tanjung, however, said that removing the president won't be automatic and that there is still time to strike a compromise.
Vice President Megawati Sukarnoputri would become president if Wahid is forced out.

GRAFFITI FOR BEGINNERS: HOW TO GET STARTED
Is Graffiti art or vandalism? This is a question we have answered before, but knowing graffiti as an art, today we want to explain to you how to get started as a beginner!
You have to know that to be a professional in the graffiti field, you have to be an expert with its techniques and tricks!
How to draw graffiti for beginners?
As we said, graffiti is complex but it’s not impossible to learn. First of all, let’s see the different parts of a graffiti:
- The fill-in: colored areas
- The outline: colored or black line around the fill-in
- 3D blocks
- A background
- A keyline: line that runs around the whole piece
Highlights and the year of creation are optionally.
And there are the different materials you will need to start:
- Plain paper
- A pencil
- An eraser
- A sharpener
- A fine line black marker or pen
Step 1: Trace
A graffiti tag is the basis of the design of a graffiti piece, so let’s start deciding what word we want to draw. For example, you would try with your name or a name you want as a sprayer.
In addition, you can add some elements that have a meaning in the context of the word such as drips or arrows.
Once you have this, let’s move on to the first step. Consists of tracing the edges of the lines with a pencil leaving a little bit of space between the edge of the marker and your new pencil line. The result will be the same letters but in bigger proportions.
Step 2: Improve!
It’s very important the composition of the whole graffiti, so if you see that one letter is bigger than the others, try to make them all the same size!
In addition, in this step, you can think of competing for the graffiti with other elements that for you are characteristics. For example, you can draw arrows, flowers, or serifs. Also, it’s important to use the serif option, a small extra stroke attached to the end of the main vertical and horizontal strokes of a letter, since in that way the artwork seems more complex. You can also add forms as circles if you want to improve it more!
This step is the slowest, you should not take the first thing that comes out! Practice, practice, and practice! Add effects, shapes, elements and make the graffiti amazing!
Step 3: Redraw the lines
This step is to redraw your pencil lines with a marker, try to do it slowly, there is no hurry! You will have to wait to let the color dry and then you will be able to erase all the pencil lines.
Step 4: Color your graffiti
A good option to make your graffiti even more complex is to draw gradients. Color is very important in graffiti, so try the best that expresses your idea.
You can search different color options on Instagram or Pinterest as an inspiration, if you are a beginner this is the best option to find the colors which best fit your graffiti!
Step 5: Don’t forget the 3D blocks!
The vanishing point is the clue here: choose a point below the graffiti where all the 3D blocks lead to. Also, you have to choose how big the blogs should be. Then, with a ruler, draw a line (in its measure) from every corner of the graffiti letters to the vanishing point. Cool, isn’t it? Here you have the 3D blocks!
You can paint them as well! Use your imagination!
Step 6: Background
The first thing to do here is to paint the keyline, the line around the whole graffiti. Therefore, you will be painting the background of the graffiti. In addition, you can add some effects such as drops.
You have already done your first graffiti, how do you feel? Do you already feel ready to participate in urban art painting with spray? Practice nonstop and we won’t doubt it!

WASHINGTON—Attorney General Eric Holder told Congress on Thursday he’s disturbed by what he’s read about the New York Police Department conducting surveillance of mosques and Islamic student organizations in New Jersey.
Holder’s brief comments represented the most extensive public discussion of the topic to date by anyone in the Obama administration. The administration has repeatedly refused to endorse or repudiate the NYPD’s tactics, which include cataloging mosques and Muslim-owned businesses, recording the license plates of worshippers at mosques, infiltrating student groups and eavesdropping in Muslim neighborhoods.
The NYPD conducted some of those operations outside its jurisdiction in New Jersey, prompting criticism from politicians and from the FBI, which said the surveillance has damaged relations with Muslims and weakened national security.
Holder’s remarks, at a hearing of the Senate Appropriations Committee, followed questions by Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., who asked how one law enforcement agency could spy on another state’s residents without notifying authorities. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Newark Mayor Cory Booker were apparently “unaware of this large-scale investigation,” Lautenberg said.
“I don’t know,” Holder replied. “We are in the process of reviewing the letters that have come in expressing concerns about those matters.”
“At least what I’ve read publicly, and again, just what I’ve read in the newspapers, is disturbing,” Holder said. “And these are things that are under review at the Justice Department.”
Holder did not elaborate on whether he was disturbed by the tactics or the fact that they were done outside of New York. Three dozen members of Congress have asked for a Justice Department investigation.
Federal prosecutors have used civil rights laws to crack down on police abuses such as racial profiling and unnecessary uses of force. But in the decade since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, the Justice Department has not publicly investigated a police department for its counterterrorism efforts.
Holder’s comments followed unusually strong criticism of the NYPD by the top FBI agent in New Jersey, who said the police surveillance had made Muslims more distrustful of law enforcement and made it harder to fight terrorism.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg continued to defend his department Thursday.
“We have the best police department in the world, and I think they show that every single day, and we have stopped 14 attacks since 9/11, fortunately without anybody dying,” he said at a mayors conference in Chicago.
Bloomberg and others frequently cite the decade without successful terrorist attacks as proof that the NYPD’s programs work, and polls show the department enjoys strong support among New Yorkers. The list of 14 plots, however, includes efforts that the NYPD had nothing to do with thwarting. And one, the nearly successful car bombing in Times Square, failed only because of a design flaw.
The NYPD has repeatedly said that all its tactics are legal. And while some civil rights lawyers disagree, most of the questions raised about the spying programs have been questions of public policy, not law.
The NYPD’s intelligence unit operates with nearly no outside oversight. The City Council is not told about its spying programs and does not review them. Neither Congress nor the Homeland Security Department conducts oversight of the intelligence programs. And the White House, whose grants have helped pay for equipment used in the spying, has said it cannot control how the money is used.
Also Thursday, the head of Newark’s Roman Catholic archdiocese and other religious leaders joined with New Jersey Muslims in demanding reassurance from state authorities that no one is being spied on because of religion.
“Just as it is paramount for our people and institutions in authority to secure our safety, it is equally paramount for people and institutions in authority in our free society to protect and secure every one of our basic liberties, especially our liberty to express our faith,” Archbishop John J. Myers said. “To do otherwise is to invite fear, hatred and oppression into our lives.”
Associated Press writer Samantha Henry in Newark contributed to this report.

Label MYSTIC89 to Collaborate with Fans for a Meaningful Valentine’s Day MV
Great news for K-Pop fans!
Many agencies have tried to incorporate fan participation in the past by inviting fans to visit the music video sets and take part in the filming. A recent example is G-Dragon’s music video for “Who You?” Trio Lunafly held a special event where they would upload the winning video as the official MV for one of their tracks “Stardust.”
MYSTIC89 decided to join in on the fun and hold a special event where they would release a collaboration music video with fans on Valentine’s Day. The label opened up an official instagram account in time for the special event. Couple of the event photos have the message “Give me your lovely Instagram photo and video for Valentine song” for their “best moment” and “the reason we fought.” Fans participating in the event must use the hashtag #mystic_valentine.
The visuals will be synched to the agency’s upcoming digital single fitting for the special day.
An agency representative stated, “Our agency think that communication with fans is very important. The Valentine’s Day music video event will be very meaningful as it’s a result of a collaboration with fans.”

House Democrats have put some worrying provisions in their economic stimulus bill which, if passed, would restrict access to health care based on cost. The bill calls for $1.1 billion dollars of the stimulus package to be spent on studies comparing the cost of various drugs and treatments. The House bill also suggests that the new research should be used to "create 'guidelines' to direct doctors' treatment of difficult, high-cost medical problems."
"More expensive" medical products, the Report states, "will no longer be prescribed."
President Obama's Health Secretary, Tom Daschle, who has long been a proponent of the rationing of health care based on "cost effectiveness", has also called for a "federal health board" to rate and control health care access.
Those whose health care treatments are deemed too costly, in comparison with life expectancy, would be denied treatment.
This is a travesty of justice and is against everything that America stands for. This is horrifying on every level. Under this proposal, the government, after spending over 1 billion dollars to study which medical treatments are the cheapest, would tell you whether you or your very sick loved one will get treatment--whether they deserve treatment. The government will tell your doctor whether they will prescribe a particular treatment.
In affect, the government will tell you whether or not you or your loved ones deserve to live.

Expanding the arts in NW Florida
FWB nonprofit group offers instruction, exhibit opportunities
FORT WALTON BEACH — The Arts and Design Society of Fort Walton Beach — a nonprofit that has been part of the local cultural scene for more than 60 years — has recently been making a special effort to reach out to young people.
The effort is aimed at increasing appreciation of the arts among youth and young adults, and also at getting younger people involved with the society, according to Wally Ratcliffe, president of the ADSO board of directors.
"As we've progressed over the years, hopefully we've become more community minded," Ratcliffe said.
Examples of the ADSO's youth outreach include a couple of the society's volunteers teaching after-school art classes at some local middle schools.
Also, volunteers recently judged an art contest for young people at Hurlburt Field.
In addition, the society hosts an exhibition of works by art students in eighth and 12th grades each February at its headquarters at 17 First St. SE, Ratcliffe said.
The society's efforts to get more young people involved in the arts don't stop with middle and high school students, according to Ratcliffe.
"We're trying to make an effort to reach out to younger adults," she said.
As part of that strategy, the society now has a wide-ranging presence on social media, including a Twitter account, @ADSO_FWB. Also, artists and others affiliated with the Arts and Design Society are a continuing presence on Instagram.
The society has been a part of Fort Walton Beach since 1956, when 17 people gathered in a local residence to form the organization. Six years later, the ADSO became a nonprofit dedicated to facilitating fine art exhibitions, conducting art classes, enhancing appreciation of the visual arts and further educating both new and established artists.
From its modest beginnings, the ADSO has grown to include more than 200 members. Its headquarters in the Old City Hall Complex include a gallery, two studios and the Lolly Carley Art Library, one of the most extensive libraries of art books in Northwest Florida.
According to its website, artsdesignsociety.org, ADSO sponsors, organizes and manages three major exhibitions during the year.
The Beaux Arts Exhibition is open to all artists and is displayed in the atrium of the Meridian at Westwood. The Photography and Digital Arts Exhibition is hosted in ADSO’s Art Center gallery. The Northwest Florida Fair Fine Arts Exhibition and Student Exhibition have been held in conjunction with and sponsored in part by the Northwest Florida Fair.
In all, the ADSO hosts nearly a dozen shows annually, each with a different theme. The latest show, which closed Feb. 19, was titled "Something Human" and included works in various media, from sculpture to paintings. Among the more interesting submissions was a human heart sculpted in clay, Ratcliffe said.
The Arts and Design Society is supported by its volunteer members, with membership fees starting at $50 per year. The ADSO offers a full range of classes and workshops, for members and non-members, in oil painting, watercolor painting and sculpture, among other topics.
According to Ratcliffe, many ADSO members will move from a mere appreciation for the arts into actually becoming artists.
One way to learn more about the ADSO is to participate in its annual Art Week, held each November. During that week, the ADSO offers nearly two dozen very inexpensive classes to show the community the kinds of instruction the society offers, "letting them get their feet wet in trying various art media at very little cost," Ratcliffe said. "And there is a really fun party ... to display all the work."
For more information, visit the ADSO website, or call the society's offices at 850-244-1271. The ADSO's galleries are open from noon to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, and from 1-4 p.m. Saturdays.


Abstract: Economic growth has negative impacts on environment at the first phases of development. After passing a threshold, it affects the environmental quality positively Economic development strategies indicate differences in various regions of the world because countries have different economic backgrounds and economic structure. Scale, production composition and technological effects have given forms the environmental impacts of economic growth. The negative environmental effects of the economic growth start with increasing of population, and then turn to positive by transition to knowledge-producing industries through high technology. Developed countries have
some advantages because they have finance for infrastructure investments. Yet, it is very difficult to implement environmental policies due to weak economic structure. The most important way to prevent global environmental pollution is to act together. If
developed countries use technology transfer for the benefits of themselves and developing countries by giving up excessive consumer roles, economic growth creates much more positive impacts on environmental quality and natural resources than expected.

On December 4th, 2023, Daniel Ek, CEO of Spotify, sent a letter to all employees telling them about organizational changes and headcount reductions that would occur in the coming weeks. The CEO expressed empathy as he had to make this extremely difficult decision, detailed clear next steps for those leaving, and spoke to the employees as a compassionate and transparent leader. Most people have seen or know someone who has seen an organizational change or layoff email over the past year. However not all have been as well written, and employee focused as Daniel Ek's. In the fast-paced, ever-evolving landscape of the corporate world, the art of communicating change within the workforce has become a critical challenge for today's business leaders. Recent corporate messages that announce layoffs, restructuring, and transformation often leave employees feeling both disconnected, anxious, and even angry. It's high time for executives to recognize that effective communication during change is not just about conveying the "right" message but setting up the most optimal outcomes by practicing empathy and transparency.
It's not just a phase
In 2023, over 50% of the workforce is comprised by Millennials and Gen Z employees. People in these demographics say realism and authenticity are two of the most vital values when selecting an employer to work for, a brand to support, or a way to be treated. These values are not "just a phase" the Millennials and GenZers will outgrow; evidence suggests, instead, that they are fundamental values that must be considered by people responsible for corporate communication. Traditional corporate speak is waning, and there is a call for businesses to deliver candid, straightforward messages during periods of transformation. As the saying goes,know your audience—and there's never a more important time to do that than when big changes are happening.
"Employees Are Losing Patience with Change Initiatives" is the title of a recent article in Harvard Business Review. A Gartner study reveals that employees' willingness to support change has dropped from 74% in 2016 to just 43% today. As layoffs continue to happen and as new technologies like artificial intelligence reshape jobs, it's more important than ever for companies to take employee perceptions and feelings into account as they share the next steps for the company. Losing one's job or entering a groundbreaking corporate transformation is never easy, and as companies grapple with the "right thing to say," it's essential to realize that formulaic language and PR-speak will backfire. Instead, company leaders need to talk like people; they need to treat employees honestly and like adults, acknowledging the change's impact on their lives, taking responsibility, and sharing the burden of the path forward. This starts with the wording used within a communication and the vehicle in how it's delivered.
In recent times, we've witnessed the repercussions and backlash of companies prioritizing shareholders, or the market's reaction, over employees' emotions. Phrases like, "we must present a better image to our shareholders," or "actions necessary for company long-term company success," have been met with skepticism by employees, as they lack a clear and tangible path forward. Gen X and Baby Boomers also value authenticity. However, their drivers are workplace challenge, financial stability, and honesty, providing context as to why a message about shareholder needs is valued more than communication on emotions – and, arguably, the impact a workplace transformation can have on an employee's mental health. Companies need to begin adapting to all four generations, calling for a significant shift in communication strategies.
How can companies learn from these mistakes and adapt their communication moving forward?
The answer lies in understanding the values and needs of your employees, who deserve respect, empathy, and transparency in times of uncertainty and upheaval.
1. Identify a vision and clear message before proceeding
When initiating change, companies should consider who will be affected and how and when to best communicate with them. Effective communication should be concise, empathetic, and detailed in explaining what's to come, available resources, and the support system in place for employees.
Before communication is distributed, leaders should align with each other. When a question is asked to one executive, the answer received should be the same as an answer provided by another executive. This mitigates the risk of leaders not being on the same page and shows a united front to employees trying to understand the change.
2. Deliver the message face to face
Managers should not be afraid of a difficult and in-person conversation. It doesn't matter if an employee has been with a company for one year or two decades. Being told their time is over through an email gives the manager an easy way out, and the ability to hide behind a screen during a difficult conversation, but it is almost guaranteed to leave a bitter taste among employees who have been retained as well as those who are let go. When layoffs are decided, companies should provide coaching and mentorship to their managers on having a difficult conversation. Then, during the conversation, leaders need to show sympathy, practice empathy, and sit with that person as they experience and grapple with the situation.
3. Provide transparent next steps and expectations
Companies should provide concrete timelines and next steps that employees can anticipate and must adhere to these schedules diligently. Offering a platform for informal conversations or questions, such as town halls, forums, or office hours, can foster a sense of involvement and reassurance. You may not have all the answers as a leader, but it's better to walk alongside employees rather than issue changes from an ivory tower without visibility.
Transparency, empathy, and open communication are not just buzzwords but the foundation for building trust and fostering resilience in the face of change. Further, in a workforce becoming dominated by Millennials and Gen Z, aligning corporate communication with their values will improve employee morale, engagement, loyalty, and retention, thus driving business success. It's time for companies to rise to the occasion, adapt their communication strategies to their audience, and embark on a journey of genuine connection with their workforce during transformative change.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

Probably Plaster of Paris. Seem to be two schools of thought on this - one says P-o-P and the other says Bee's Wax. If someone says Bondo - throw them out and don't let them get near your table. The beauty of P-o-P or Bee's Wax is the impermanence of it, so the table can be broken down and set-up again. Bondo you'd have to sand off the slates.
The glue is probably just a 3M spray type glue to help hold the cloth until you can get a staple in it. It's just an aid, not a device onto itself. Good luck with your move.

My table was delivered and set up yesterday, they stretched and stapled all the way around, no glue of any type. Not sure what he filled the cracks with, he put a little pile of it (powder - sort of a light tan color) on the slate and put water in the middle of the pile and used a putty knife to mix it. after filling the screw holes and cracks between the slate he then sanded it smooth. The table is an Olhausen bought new from a local dealer (A.E. Schmidt, I'm not sure if I spelled their name right). They do good work and I understand this is the correct way to put a table together. No more leaving the house to shoot /ccboard/images/icons/laugh.gif

Nova: Secrets of Lost Empires II (review)
- Film & History: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Film and Television Studies
- Center for the Study of Film and History
- Volume 30, Number 2, 2000
- pp. 73-75
- Additional Information
Regular Feature | Film Reviews documentary, directed by MariaAgui Carter and CalvinA. Lindsay , Jr., shows that such was not always the case. When jazz first reared its head, Thomas Edison said that it sounded better played backwards and furniture manufacturers began to market their wares as "jazz-proof." These examples may be merely amusing, but other attacks onjazz, including those published in the New York Times and Ladies'Home Journal, were decidedly more insidious, assailing jazz as amoral, as a music that evoked primal urges, forcing the body to move in ways that it oughtn't. And it is this threat that is at the heart of The Devil's Music, which examines the reasons whyjazz was both popular and condemned . As with film, that which offended one sensibility was exactly what made it appeal to another. Jazz introduced a new freedom to music, which sent critics like Daniel Gregory Mason reeling with abhorrence, even as it was hailed by Europeans, including Maurice Ravel, as the most interesting thing happening in music. Of course, the documentary is quick to point out that it was not strictly a question of musicality that set up obstacles to earlyjazz, but also a question of race. As historian Kathy Ogren points out, there was also a fear that listeners would "lose their racial identity and . . . beLouis Armstrong in 1931 come primitive savages." Ultimately , it was the denial of the ethnic origins of jazz that allowed it wider acceptance. The Devil's Music traces the refining ofjazz's reputation as the first record was released (by The Original Dixieland Jazz Band, an all-white group billed as "the creators ofjazz"), through the selfproclaimed "King of Jazz," Paul Whiteman, who attempted to "clean up" jazz by putting a white face on it and hiring George Gershwin to link classical and jazz in "Rhapsody in Blue." By tracing the careers of such popular innovators ofjazz like Jelly Roll Morton, Bessie Smith, Louis Armstrong, and Duke Ellington, The Devil's Music presents an effective introduction to the gradual and often difficult road to acceptance traveled by jazz. Aiding this are many interviews with both cultural critics andhistorians, likeAnn Douglas, Michael Eric Dyson, and Studs Terkel, as well as musicians Billy Taylor, Franz Jackson, and Maria McPartland. Lest these lists of interviewees make these documentaries seem talky, rest assured, the production quality of Hollywood Censored and The Devil's Music is top-notch, quick paced and filled with striking images from cinema and the jazz stage. The Devil 's Music, particularly, benefits from lovely a cappella interludes courtesy of singer Rachelle Ferrell. Although in both cases one might argue that an hour is simply not enough time to truly do justice to the topics, there can be no doubt that these documentaries present excellent introductions to the subject matter, and even those with familiarity are likely to find something worth their time, not the least of which is the excellence of production which makes them ajoy to watch. Of notable interest is how the topics of these two documentaries work in tandem (they were, after all, originally aired back to back). In The Devil's Music, Studs Terkel notes that "Today we respect jazz. The world over it's accepted as an art form. Yet at the beginning ... the obstacles were overwhelming ." Indeed, the producers find many early denunciations of jazz, but are hard pressed to find a contemporary interview subject to condemn it as un-musical. Instead, to bring the discussion to our present day, they need to draw upon the reactions to gangster rap, which, though not without similarities, has been attacked more on the basis of its lyrical content than due to the "primitivism" of its sound, as was the case withjazz. However, the producers of Hollywood Censored need make no such leap. Instead, these documentarians find plenty of complaints about the film industry as it is today. One might argue that the movies have continued to suffer attacks because they have remained a popular entertainment, whereas jazz has been displaced as the most popular of popular musics, and has instead found its appeal limited to a more elite audience. Ultimately, it has come to represent status...

Volkswagen Malaysia's entry-level car is the VW Polo hatchback. The current Polo with a 1.6-litre naturally aspirated engine and 6-speed conventional automatic has been on sale at RM 74,990 in Malaysia since 2014. Though Volkswagen has introduced several special-edition Polos, the company has not given the hatchback a major update since 2015 with only a few running changes in between. The 2018 Volkswagen Polo goes up against other B-segment hatchback rivals like the Honda Jazz and Toyota Yaris.
As the Volkswagen Polo has been discontinued in Malaysia last year, it's highly likely for us to expect the Mk6 Polo to make it to Malaysia in 2021.
Globally, VW offers a range of petrol engines for the Polo Mk6. But looking over at the offerings in Australia and our neighbours in Singapore, the Polo Mk6 in Malaysia will most likely be powered by a 1.0-litre TSI engine that produces 116 PS and 200 Nm, with the 7-speed DSG transferring power to the front wheels.
Much like the Golf, Passat, and Tiguan, the all-new Polo Mk6 is built on Volkswagen’s modular MQB platform. The new Polo is a bigger, more spacious car, with a 92 mm longer wheelbase (2,548 mm) and a larger boot (351 litres, up by 71 litres). That said, the new Polo will most likely follow in its predecessor’s footsteps and assembly will be done in Hicom's plant in Pekan, Pahang.
Despite the possibility that the Polo Mk6 might hit at least RM 100,000, the Polo is still a B-segment hatchback. So, the Polo will go up against the current non-national best-selling hatchback Toyota Yaris and Honda Jazz.

My work in climatology has chiefly contributed to our knowledge of winter climate variability and change across North America, leading to information that has improved our understanding of seasonal and decadal fluctuations of our climate.
The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon
My initial research efforts surrounded the Canadian climatic modifications associated with the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a phenomenon that dominates the year-to-year climate variability across the equatorial Pacific and throughout regions in its close proximity. Over the pasts 20 years climate research has shown that there are but a few areas around the globe that fail to feel the presence of the major ENSO events that reside in the tropical basin for several seasons every 3 to 7 years. The widely known El Niño and La Niña events represent two extreme states of ENSO. The former has become synonymous with an unseasonable warming of the equatorial Pacific, the latter showing opposite environmental signatures. The visibility and true nature of the ENSO phenomenon came to light in the late 1960s and 1970s, with the increasing availability of reliable data of the central Pacific through remote sensing techniques, and as a result of the occurrence of the 1976-77 event that carried major climatic and social consequences around the world. It was not until the late 1990s, however, that the words El Niño and La Niña began to have a meaningful climatic connotation with the general public.
ENSO and Canadian Climate
When I embarked on my dissertation research in 1994, my principal interests surrounded inquiries regarding the climatic impacts, or ENSO teleconnections across western Canada, a vast area spanning west from Manitoba to British Columbia between the US-Canadian border and the Arctic Circle. My work examined in detail the geographic variation of ENSO-related surface air temperature signatures at various time scales, ranging from months, to seasons, to years, as well as the seasonal fluctuation of the strength and definition of these teleconnections.
Long-term fluctuations in the relationships between the equatorial Pacific and U.S. climate
With the recent developments surrounding the theories, hypotheses, and realized climatic and social significance of decadal scale climatic fluctuations in our oceans and the atmosphere, I have become interested in the study of long-term fluctuations in the relationships between the equatorial Pacific and remote climates of North America. The understanding of such connections is known to be critical for seasonal climate forecasting purposes across the area. In my study I examined winter Ohio Valley precipitation, a climatic variable that is very closely tied to the success of the area’s economy.
Interactions between teleconnections – the Arctic Oscillation and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation
Finally, having studied the impact that various atmospheric circulation patterns impose on the weather across North America from one year to the next, and by understanding the influence and importance of patterns of oceanic and atmospheric circulation that equally modify the expected our weather but for several years at a time, I have become interested in exploring the interaction between these patterns of circulation, and the resulting impact on weather conditions. Specifically, I conducted a study that examined the interaction between the Arctic Oscillation (AO), a key contributor to our day-to-day and year-to-year winter climate variability across most regions of the US, and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), a pattern that reflects the slowly-varying state of the Pacific Ocean and the overlying atmosphere, and is known to have large climatic impacts on many areas throughout the country. My specific goal included the examination of the extent to which the winter surface air temperatures associated with the AO change as a result of the PDO.
