Cumbria Local Nature Recovery Network (CLNRN)
For supporting Cumbria Local Nature Recovery Strategy - Pilot Scheme
Cumbria County Council
To test and help guide the development of Local Nature Recovery Strategies (LNRS), as outlined in the Environment Act 2021 and the 25 Year Environment Plan (2018), from October 2020 to May 2021 Defra has been working with five areas across England to test the LNRS concept and processes. Cumbria County Council were commissioned by Defra to lead a partnership through the process of developing a LNRS. A draft LNRS was submitted to Defra in May 2021, however this is just a provisional output and will be further developed after the Environment Act is passed, and full guidance has been produced, hopefully early in 2022.
The purpose of the LNRS is to work with people across Cumbria to identify priority outcomes for Nature Recovery and measures by which these could be delivered. A core part of the LNRS is to create a map which identifies where actions could be undertaken to restore and link up habitats so that species can thrive, and agree the best places to help nature recover, mitigate flood risk through natural flood management, help mitigate climate change and create more wildlife-rich areas for people to enjoy.
“Cumbria’s Local Nature Recovery Strategy belongs to the people who live, work and visit Cumbria, and once the Environment Act becomes law everyone will be given a further opportunity to help develop the draft LNRS. Once in place the LNRS will help everyone – from the designated landscapes and large conservation partnerships, to farmers, local businesses and community groups – to identify how they can play their part in bringing about nature recovery in Cumbria and help create a Nature Recovery Network which will extend across the whole of the country.”
Cumbria Biodiversity Data Centre (CBDC) and the Cumbria Local Nature Partnership (CLNP) worked on and developed both a Cumbria Habitat Basemap, which shows existing habitat distribution to the best of our knowledge, and a Cumbria Habitat Networks Map, which identifies opportunities for creating linkages between existing habitat areas. Eventually these maps will be used as the ‘Spatial Plan’ or ‘Local Habitat Map’ within Cumbria’s Local Nature Recovery Strategy and will also help to guide the development of Cumbria’s Nature Recovery Network. Currently, the mapping design is supported by a range of local wildlife and farming organisations.
The Habitat Basemap and Habitat Network Maps will continue to be developed and improved over the coming months, including work to link them with other useful ‘nature’ mapping and to make them more accessible to all users. For more information please download the mapping guidance note and the CLNRN guidance note to local authority.
Stages of the Mapping Approach:
The mapping work had three main stages: Auditing, Mapping and Modelling.
Auditing – The CLNP worked both with partners across Cumbria and with national organisations to identify existing habitat datasets. In this way the LNRS mapping work was based on the best available evidence. Data collated from partners was then subjected to a thorough check by CBDC which looked at the suitability and quality of the data, and checked that the data was fit for purpose. Where necessary data was then reclassified so that all data was aligned with the UK Priority Habitat classification.
Cumbria LNR Habitat Basemap
Mapping – The Cumbria Habitat map has been developed from a range of national (including Natural England and Forestry Commission) and local datasets. In all it includes 37 layers of habitat data that provide information on the different habitat types and where they are found across Cumbria. The maps will help you identify what habitats are found in your area, or on your land.
Please note that we do not have up-to-date habitat data for much of Cumbria, and some habitats (such as scrub) have not been systematically surveyed. Therefore the maps will not be 100% accurate and therefore should only be used as a guide. Where in doubt areas/habitats should be checked by survey. In addition it should be noted that smaller scale wildlife/habitat features, for example flower-rich roadside verges may not be shown on the maps.
Habitat Mapping Update
To ensure we produce mapping systems which work for you we would welcome feedback on how useful you find the current maps for your purposes and what changes/additions could be added to increase their usefulness.
If you have new habitat data which could be included on the map please contact CBDC: https://www.cbdc.org.uk/contact-us/ to confirm the data sharing and data formats. Further guidance on this will be developed soon.
Basemap Interactive Map
The habitat basemap interactive map was developed to enhance access to the mapping habitat data. You can use the interactive map to browse the different habitat layers (e.g. hay meadows, woodlands etc.).
Please note that some habitats need to zoom in to be able to find them on the map. Also, depending on the speed of your internet you may need to give a time for all the mapping habitats to be downloaded. The map best browsed using ‘Firefox’ browser.
Cumbria LNR Habitat Networks
Modelling – The Cumbria Habitat Networks have been created using Natural England’s England Habitat Network model. This uses the Cumbria Habitat Basemap and then identifies specific areas, zones or networks where we should aim to take action for nature.
Please note these Habitat Networks are based on the best available data (which is not 100% accurate) and are computer models not as yet checked on the ground. They therefore should only be used as a guide to where we should look for opportunities to restore and create habitats. There may be several different options suggested for each area of land, and there may be species using the land whose needs must also be considered. Therefore decisions should only be made following on-the-ground checks supported by expert advice.
The Habitat Network maps are made up of 8 components:
EXISTING IMPORTANT HABITAT AREAS – These are wildlife habitats which need to be Conserved, Enhanced or Restored.
- Primary Habitats – habitats identified on the Cumbria Habitat Basemap
- Associated Habitats – other habitats also used by wildlife using the Primary Habitat
- Habitat Restoration/Creation Areas – areas identified as currently being restored/created
- Restorable Habitats – existing habitats which could be restored to a more wildlife-rich state
HABITAT NETWORK AREAS:
- Fragmentation Action Zone – where habitat restoration and creation will be of greatest help in connecting existing fragmented habitats to develop a habitat network (note this zones is within Network Enhancement Zone 1)
- Network Enhancement Zone 1 – where actions (habitat restoration and creation) to help join up habitat and create a network should be targeted
- Network Enhancement Zone 2 – land which may be less suitable for habitat creation but where other actions to increase biodiversity will help to join up other habitats
- Network Expansion Zone – Wider zones where habitat restoration and creation will support the habitat networks
Networks Interactive Map
The Cumbria Habitat Networks comprise a series of individual habitat network maps plus two ‘Combined Habitat Networks’ maps. You can browse any of these networks using the Cumbria Habitat Networks interactive map. Once again please note that these maps shown potential habitat options and not prescriptions for individual pieces of land.
Using the Network Interactive Map:
Similar to the Habitat Basemap, the network interactive map has a set of tools which help you to browse and locate habitat networks in your area. By default the network interactive map shows only the Cumbria boundary.
Depending on the speed of your internet you may need to give a time for all the mapping habitat networks to be downloaded. The map best browsed using ‘Firefox’ browser.

Elk (Cervus elaphus) range expansion and reintroduction is a topic of national interest in wildlife management. Eastern states are facilitating the recolonization of elk to historic ranges. Interest in elk restoration has increased for multiple stakeholders in Michigan, where prospering elk suggest there is potential for range expansion, but a comprehensive habitat assessment for the region is lacking. Habitat quality at the landscape scale for elk in Michigan depends primarily on available forage, suitable cover, habitat diversity, and anthropogenic features such as road densities. We quantifed these factors in the Upper Peninsula and northern Lower Peninsula of Michigan using a habitat suitability index model framework. We focused our analysis on areas of interest and compared habitat suitability values occurring at those locations to values occurring within the current elk range (Pigeon River County State Forest area, or Pigeon River). We used elk habitat utilization information associated with the Pigeon River to validate and adjust our habitat suitability model. We also included a model that assigned less weight to the road density parameter, to account for uncertainty concerning the infuence of roads on elk. Results from our habitat models suggested that patches of moderately suitable habitat exist outside the Pigeon River range in Michigan. Target areas differed in quality and quantity of habitat when compared to existing elk range, but habitat suitability values overlapped considerably among locations. Large patches of moderately suitable habitat also occurred outside of areas of interest. Results suggest that Michigan has potential to support an expanded elk range; however, additional site-specifc considerations (land ownership, winter snowpack, deer-elk interactions and impacts on forest regeneration) likely need to be assessed at potential restoration and expansion sites.

Hosmer, Royals beat White Sox 5-3 in 10 innings
CHICAGO (AP) — The Kansas City Royals have home-field advantage in one round of the playoffs. They're still looking for more.
Eric Hosmer hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the top of the 10th inning, and the Royals beat the Chicago White Sox 5-3 on Wednesday night to clinch home-field advantage in an AL Division Series.
Ben Zobrist singled with one out, and Hosmer drove a pitch from David Robertson (6-5) into the bullpen in right field to give the Royals the lead. For Hosmer, it was his 18th homer of the season.
"It was a huge hit for us," manager Ned Yost said.
Alex Gordon and Mike Moustakas also homered for Kansas City, which had already clinched the AL Central title. They will host the first two games of their ALDS, and a Game 5 if necessary.
Combined with Toronto splitting its doubleheader in Baltimore, the Royals pulled within a game of the Blue Jays for home-field advantage throughout the AL playoffs. Toronto did win the season series, giving it the tiebreaker over the Royals.
But that's still the target for the Royals, who came within one victory of winning last year's World Series.
"As many games as we can get at home as possible, that's what we want to try and do," Hosmer said. "Obviously we would like home-field advantage throughout the whole entire postseason but just got to see how that plays out. To have the first round at least at home is definitely big for us."
The win was a painful one for Kansas City. In the seventh, Lorenzo Cain fouled a pitch from Jose Quintana off his right knee. He remained in the game and grounded out to third but he didn't make it to first and was replaced in the bottom of the inning.
The Royals said Cain has a right knee contusion and is day-to-day.
Edinson Volquez went six innings, allowed one run and nine hits while striking out five but couldn't pick up his first win since Sept. 8. Franklin Morales (4-2) pitched a scoreless inning in relief and Wade Davis picked up his 15th save in 16 tries.
Quintana remained winless since Sept. 12 despite going nine innings while allowing three runs and five hits.
"He was great, outstanding, you can use all of them," Chicago manager Robin Ventura said. "We thought we had a chance there to get him one."
Chicago gave Quintana a 1-0 lead in the second on Adam Eaton's run-scoring single. The White Sox had three singles off Volquez in the first and three more in the second but only scored one run.
Gordon led off the third with his 13th home run over the fence in deep left-center field. Moustakas' two-run homer in the sixth gave Kansas City a 3-1 lead.
Jose Abreu hit his 30th homer in the seventh for Chicago to pull within 3-2. In the eighth, Chicago tied the game with a double by Tyler Flowers when his drive to right off Kelvin Herrera went over Paulo Orlando's head and bounced over the wall, bringing in Tyler Saladino.
But Robertson couldn't hold Kansas City in the 10th.
"I just wasn't able to nail it down there in the 10th and give us another chance to score a run," Robertson said.
Kansas City, meanwhile, picked up its usually sturdy bullpen.
"It's not going to happen very often and that's what good teams do," Hosmer said. "Just find ways to pick up your teammates."
Yost was asked how critical it is for his team to put together some wins heading into the postseason with the Royals entering Wednesday's game having lost four of five.
"We want to get into the playoffs feeling good and win as many games as we can," Yost said. "It's not fun losing ballgames. . It's important to win, but I don't think it's going to have any bearing on how you do in the playoffs because it's a different animal. But you want to finish as strong as you can."
Abreu joined Albert Pujols (2001-02) and Ryan Braun (2007-08) as the only players in baseball history to hit 30 or more home runs in each of their first two seasons.
Royals: OF Jarrod Dyson replaced Cain in center field.
White Sox: INF Micah Johnson will have surgery on his left knee Thursday. Ventura said he didn't have a timetable for when Johnson would return to baseball activities. "It's not that big a deal but it's enough to go in and fix it," Ventura said.
Kansas City RHP Kris Medlen (5-2, 4.30) faces Chicago LHP John Danks (7-14, 4.53). Medlen is 4-0 with a 1.13 ERA in three starts and eight outings on the road in 2015.

January 13, 2021
(Reuters) – British filmmaker Michael Apted is the man behind an “up” documentary that has recorded the lives of a group of British children for over 50 years, and died at the age of 79, his US agent said. Said on Friday.
Apted also includes episodes from the 1999 James Bond blockbuster “The World Is Not Enough” to the biography of Loretta Lin’s country singer “The Daughter of a Coal Miner” and the 1967 British soap opera “Coronation Street”. He has directed Hollywood films up to dozens of television shows.
Upted died at his home in Los Angeles on Thursday, said Roy Ashton, a US agent. Details of his death were not available.
Upted’s most notable project was the “Up” series. In 1964, Apted revisited every seven years to see how their lives changed, a television documentary about the hopes and dreams of 14 seven-year-olds from different backgrounds. It started as.
The award-winning series over the years was inspired by the words, “Give me a child until I’m seven. I’ll show you a man.” The latest “63Up” was released in 2019.
The Film Academy said on Friday that Upted “will always be memorable in the groundbreaking documentary” Up “series.”
Born in the UK, he attended Cambridge University and began his career as a researcher on Granada Television in the UK, where the idea for the first “up” documentary was born.
Later, he moved to Los Angeles, where he directed dozens of films, including “Gorillas in the Mist,” the thrillers “Gorky Park,” “Thunderheart,” and “Enigma.” He was President of the Directors Guild of America (DGA) from 2003 to 2009.
Friday’s DGA president Thomas Shrami called him a friend and “a fearless foresight as a director.”

Marco Rubio Stuck in the Basement
While I was on Capitol Hill to cover Wednesday’s swearing-in of the 112th Congress, I dropped by Marco Rubio’s office:
Alas, poor Marco! Florida’s Tea Party superstar has been stuck in a temporary office in the basement, behind the cafeteria, on a dead-dead corridor across the hall from the Senate stationery store!
The new senator himself wasn’t in – “spending some family time” after the swearing-in, his receptionist said. Rubio’s office is next door to the temporary office of newly-elected Sen. Dan Coats of Indiana. A staffer in Coats’ office explained to me that unlike the House – where departing members are whisked out of their offices and the new members whisked in before the swearing-in – the Senate gives departing members up to five months to clear out of their offices. So new senators like Rubio and Coats might not be in their permanent offices until May.

Baroque Ground takes a look at the Lamborghini Huracán Evo, touted as the Next Generation V10 Supercar
Getting ready to take to the road, the brand new 2020 Lamborghini Huracán Evo is one powerful car. The engine is a naturally aspirated V10 engine that produces higher power output. Combined with advanced driving technology that actually predicts the most suitable driving set-up for a specific moment, this new vehicle is something to write home about.
It’s being touted as the Next Generation V10 Supercar – and for good reason. While it is similar in many ways to the Lamborghini Huracán Performante, the Evo boasts a completely new design that offers improved performance, aerodynamics and control. The name Evo is short for ‘Evolution’ and it is the first Lamborghini vehicle that offers technology that includes predictive logic to control vehicle dynamics. This means that the car doesn’t just react; it actually takes the environment and the driver’s manner of controlling the car into consideration. Combine that with all-wheel drive and steering, and the car is not only immediately responsive; it’s agile and great to drive.
“The Huracán Evo is the definition of evolution,” says Stefano Domenicali, Chairman and CEO of Automobil Lamborghini. “It is a step ahead… It is remarkably easy to drive, while delivering the most responsive, sensory and agile driving experience in every environment.”
This high performance super car is equipped with Titanium intake valves and a refined lightweight exhaust system as well as a seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. It’s powerful beyond measure, accelerating from standstill to 100km in just 2.9 seconds, and from zero to 200km in a remarkable 9 seconds. Top speed is apparently 325km per hour.
Its systems run through the innovative, new LDVI (Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata), a system that controls all-wheel drive, adaptive dampers and stability control as well as the rear-wheel steering and brake-based torque vectoring. It uses feed-forward logic to predict what the driver is going to do and responds accordingly.
The Evo will set one back anything from $268,000. This is a car that should be used daily, not just on weekends. Weighing it at 3,500 pounds, it’s a formidable combination of beauty and power.

Technological revolutions have made it possible for creative solutions in a variety of industries. Frameless motors are one such advancement that has completely revolutionized the engineering industry. The way we think about motor systems is changing thanks to frameless motors’ simplified design and improved performance potential. We will delve further into the realm of frameless motors in this blog post to learn more about their benefits and how they operate. So fasten your seatbelts because a completely new level of motor technology is about to be revealed!
How do frameless motors work?
As the name implies, Frameless Motors are those without a conventional frame or casing. A rotor and a stator are the two major parts of a frameless motor, as opposed to traditional motors that have large casings and shafts. The motor’s revolving component is the rotor, while the stationary component is the stator.
Frameless motors are perfect for applications where space is limited or weight reduction is important because the lack of a frame enables more compact and lightweight designs. These motors don’t need any further structural alterations to be smoothly integrated into a variety of systems.
The adaptability of frameless motors is one of their main advantages. They can be mounted directly onto pre-existing mechanical structures, such as gearboxes or driven loads, and then tailored to meet particular requirements. Engineers can create more effective systems that are specifically suited to their needs thanks to this versatility.
In comparison to conventional motor designs, frameless motors offer better power density in addition to their simplified design flexibility. Manufacturers can fit more power into smaller spaces because there is no enclosure or cooling fan using important space.
Additionally, frameless motors have less inertia and quicker response times due to the absence of external frames. As a result, they are incredibly precise and responsive in demanding applications that call for quick acceleration or deceleration.
Frameless motors, with their small size, adaptable integration possibilities, increased power density, and greater response, represent a significant advancement in motor technology. You’ll learn even more reasons why these cutting-edge devices are attracting so much attention across industries as we continue to examine how they operate.
How are frameless motors operated?
A brilliant example of engineering, frameless motors have many benefits in terms of performance and adaptability. Have you ever pondered how these motors function in reality, though? Let’s investigate frameless motors’ internal mechanisms and discover their mysteries.
The rotor, which is made up of permanent magnets organized in a precise pattern, is the brain of a frameless motor. A stator, which typically consists of coils that produce electromagnetic fields when electric current passes through them, surrounds the rotor. The magnetic fields produced by the stator and rotor interact, which causes the motor to rotate.
The main distinction between frameless motors and other types is that they are built without an outside housing or enclosure, which allows for optimum compactness and system integration. Frameless motors are more efficient and have less inertia than standard enclosed motors because they don’t have the extra weight and mass that they do.
Another crucial feature is how readily these motors may be included into already-existing mechanical systems or even directly coupled to driven elements like gears or pulleys without the use of any additional coupling mechanisms. With less energy lost to friction or misalignment, this direct connection improves the entire system response time.
Additionally, frameless motors have high torque-to-inertia ratios that make it possible to precisely control speed, position, acceleration, and deceleration. Frameless motors display superior dynamics for quick responsiveness since they lack the additional rotating mass from an outside housing or the cooling devices seen in typical enclosed designs.
Furthermore, since the shaft (the rotor) is not supported by any external bearings, superior dynamic balancing may be accomplished, resulting in smoother operation at high speeds and dramatically reduced noise levels.
Without an external container, frameless motors generate rotational motion by utilizing electromagnetic interactions between magnetized rotors and powered stators. Their distinctive design offers benefits such compactness, flexibility in integration into systems directly controlling gears and pulleys for improved efficiency, response times, torque capacities, balance, and quiet operations at high speeds.
What benefits do frameless motors offer?
Featured Frameless Motors’ Benefits:
In terms of motor technology, frameless motors are becoming more and more well-liked across a range of industries. These cutting-edge gadgets have a number of benefits that make them highly sought-after for numerous applications.
The streamlined design of frameless motors is a key benefit. Frameless motors are small and light, in contrast to conventional motors that include large housings and other parts. As a result, there is more flexibility in terms of installation and system integration.
The improved performance that frameless motors offer is an additional benefit. These motors are more efficient and lose less energy because there are no gears or belts need with their direct drive arrangement. Additionally, the absence of mechanical components results in less vibration and noise and better performance.
Due to their high torque-to-inertia ratio, frameless motors also provide improved precision. This makes them suitable for applications needing precision control, such as robots, medical equipment, and aerospace systems, as they can react fast to changes in speed or direction.
Frameless motors can also be easily modified to fulfill unique requirements. These adaptable devices can be customized to meet varied requirements thanks to possibilities for varying sizes, power ratings, winding configurations, and feedback types.
In conclusion, it is easy to see why frameless motors and small stepper motor are quickly emerging as the product of choice across a wide range of industries because to its streamlined design, improved performance capabilities, precision control features, and customization options.
The advantages that frameless motors have make them a desirable option for many applications. Without sacrificing performance, its simplified design and small footprint make seamless integration into current systems possible. Additionally, the lack of external housing decreases weight and inertia, enhancing effectiveness and responsiveness.
Frameless motors are incredibly flexible and may be tailored to fulfill a variety of needs. They are excellent for a variety of industries thanks to their adaptability, including robotics, aircraft, medical equipment, and more.
Frameless motors reduce the need for maintenance and improve reliability by doing away with standard motor components like housings and bearings. These motors can work consistently for extended periods of time without the need for regular repairs or replacements since they have fewer parts that are prone to wear or failure.
In addition, frameless motors provide seamless system connection with other parts. If necessary, a gearbox or transmission system may be used to connect their rotor to the load instead of directly. Engineers have more control over torque output and speed management thanks to this versatility like brushed motors.
The performance possibilities of frameless motors are improved while keeping a small footprint. Their streamlined form offers a host of advantages in terms of effectiveness, dependability, customizability, and easy integration into current systems.
Frameless motors are poised to play an ever-more-important role in advancing innovation as technology continues to grow at an unparalleled rate across industries globally.
In today’s quick-paced technology environment, their capacity to maximize space usage while delivering high levels of performance makes them important.

Littoral, or intertidal zone is defined as the area between low and high water marks and constitute a unique marine environment because of regular exposure to the air (Fig. 1.). Strong environmental stress has important impact on the macrofauna living in this area. Except of all factors which influence organisms in littoral zone all around the world, such as: desiccation, wave energy, wide temperature range, fluctuation of salinity, competition for space, communities of tidal range in the Arctic must additionally deal with a half year lasting night, short period of productivity, ice scouring and very low temperature.
Fig. 1.Intertidal zone in Hornsund
The animals retained by a 0,5Â mm mesh size, inhabiting the bottom part of the sea are called macrozoobenthos. They can bury themselves in the soft sediments (infauna), anchor to the hard substrate (sessile organisms), or move around on the bottom (epifauna).
The aim of this study was to find the spatial patterns of macrofauna distribution in sediments in relation to zonation, distance to active glacier (level of inorganic sedimentation, water turbidity, ice-berg scouring intensity), water dynamics (wave energy) and hydrology (water temperature, salinity). Additionally we aim to compare the results of our study with the data collected 20 years ago by Jan Marcin WÄsĹawski and his co-workers. We will verify, if any faunistic changes happened and can be linked to climatic and hydrological changes resulting from a general warming up (increase of mineral sedimentation and fresh water outflow from melting glaciers).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Material was collected in July 2002 and 2003. Samples were taken at four bays: Isbjornhamna (July, 2002), Stonehehengesteinane - Stone (July, 2003), Adriabukta- Treskelen (July, 2003) and Hyttevika (July, 2003) (Fig. 2.).
Fig. 2. Location of sampling sites
At each bay, during low tide, 9 samples were collected: three at low water mark, three at high water mark, and three in the mid-intertidal zone. 5 cm layer of sediment from a quare (Fig.Â 3.) of 30 x 30 cm were dug out with a spade, sieved on a 0,5 mm mesh size screen and preserved in 4 % formaldehyd solution.
Fig. 3. Strategy of sampling
The species composition, abundance and biomass (wet formalin weight) were determined in the lab. Mollusca were weighed with shells. Dry weight were obtain as 25Â % of wet weight.
A total of 16 taxa of macrofauna were identified: 8 species, 2 genera, 6 higher taxa. The fauna was dominated by oligochaets.
The next most numerous group was juvenile
Gammarus sp. The biomass was dominated by
big amphipods - Gammarus setosus.

The fauna included also some polychaetes molluscs, bryozoans and hydrozoans. Densities ranged from 33Â ind./m2 in Treskelen at mid-water mark zone to 113Â 733Â ind./m2 in Isbjornhamna at high water mark zone.
The lowest macrofaunal biomass - 0,0003 gÂ d.w./m2 was recorded in Treskelen at mid-water zone. The highest value, 145 gÂ d.w./m2, was measured in Treskelen at low water zone.
To compare similarity between sites and points of tidal zone (LW, MW, HW), we will performe multivariate analyses based on Bray-Curtis index calculated from square root transformed data. We will estimate the biodiversity of the fauna using Shannon-Wiener (H) coefficient and the number of species.

When it was founded in 2000, the Dutch firm Spyker borrowed its name from an early 20th century airplane engine manufacturer and quickly translated that history into the design language of its first supercar, the C8. The wheels, steering column, and switchgear all recall 1920s airplanes and help Spyker distinguish itself in a field of ultra-modern exotics. The C8 was introduced along with the founding of the new company and has seen minor refreshes ever since.
The 2009 Spyker C8 is an exotic sports car available in three versions: C8 Laviolette, C8 Spyder and longer-wheelbase C8 Aileron. Standard features for the C8 Laviolette include 18-inch alloy wheels, bi-xenon headlamps, keyless entry/ignition, electrically operated single-hinge tilting doors, full leather upholstery, air-conditioning and a CD sound system. The C8 Spyder shares the C8 Laviolette's equipment roster while adding a power-assisted soft top in place of the Laviolette's fixed roof. The C8 Aileron adds a unique dashboard design with a multifunction LCD display, a navigation system and a six-speaker Kharma sound system with Bluetooth and iPod connectivity. A Spyder version of the Aileron is scheduled to appear later in the model year.
As you'd expect of a hand-built exotic car, the Spyker C8 offers a mind-boggling array of options, including riveted body panels, 19-inch alloys ("Aeroblade" for Laviolette/Spyder, "Rotorblade" for Aileron), stereo upgrades, heated seats, quilted leather upholstery, an aluminum dashboard, a Louis Vuitton custom luggage set, a Louis Vuitton tool kit, Chronoswiss dials, Alcantara interior trim and bespoke exterior and interior color schemes.
In its current incarnation, most versions of the C8 are powered by an Audi-made, 4.2-liter V8 engine that generates 400 hp and 354 foot-pounds of torque. The engine is quick enough to reach 60 mph from a standing start in 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 187 mph. A GT-class version of the car, known as the C8 Spyder GT2R, uses a 3.8-liter engine that generates a lower 310 foot-pounds of torque but ups its raw horsepower to 450, resulting in a quicker 3.8-second dash to 60 mph with the same top speed.
SafetyTo comply with American regulations, the C8 Laviolette and Spyder have been fitted with a steering-wheel airbag in place of the Euro-spec propeller-shaped four-spoke wheel. The C8 Aileron adds a passenger airbag. Antilock brakes are standard, but neither stability nor traction control is available.
Driving ImpressionsMellifluous and responsive Audi V8 notwithstanding, the Spyker C8 isn't a car that tempts you to race other exotics. It's fast, but not that fast. The handling is another matter, though -- with precise manual steering and a chassis tuned with input from Lotus, the C8 has plenty of moxie. Unfortunately, the price of that handling comes in the form of a spine-bruising ride. The C8 does have shock absorbers, but you may have your doubts after a spell in the driver seat. To Spyker's credit, though, the C8's ultra-rigid aluminum structure evinces zero chassis quiver, and driving enthusiasts will appreciate the sense of intimate connection with moving parts and the road below.

(CTN News) – COVID-19 cases are on the rise. People with SARS-CoV-2 omicron variant BA 5 are more contagious than people with previous strains. How contagious is it?
Dr. Matthew Laurens, a professor of pediatrics and medicine at the University Of Maryland School Of Medicine, said the virus variant BA 5 has spread rapidly across the globe.
Is BA 5 more contagious than previous strains?
Laurens said it’s difficult to quantify the degree of elevated transmissibility, since conditions have changed. Vaccines and antibodies are now available to protect against previous exposures.
The ease of transmission is several orders of magnitude greater than the previous variant.
Almost 80% of the viruses currently diagnosed and sequenced in the U.S. are BA 5.
Based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s map of U.S. COVID-19 infection rates on Thursday afternoon, 35.46% of the U.S had high COVID-19 community levels, an increase of 14.74%.
The majority of the DC metro area is ranked “medium” for COVID-19 community levels, but Howard County, Maryland, is ranked “high” with a case rate of 227.52 per 100,000 in population, and 4.5% of hospital beds are filled with COVID-19 cases.
The numbers of hospitalizations are rising
“Over the past couple of weeks, we have seen an increase in hospitalizations due to COVID-19 here in the United States,” said Laurens. But we’re nowhere near the surges we saw earlier this year with the omicron variant.”
BA 5 is evading immune responses from vaccinations and previous infections that normally protect against infection. Vaccine immune responses that prevent serious outcomes are working.
“Those who are vaccinated still have some protection from COVID-19, if they are infected with this BA.5 variant,” Laurens said.
Despite the pandemic’s unpredictable nature, Laurens wants people to remember that we are still in one.
“We still have precautions that need to be taken to prevent the spread of virus and save lives,” he explained.
People should take the most appropriate precautions to prevent COVID-19 infection, such as social distancing, wearing masks, avoiding large indoor gatherings, and vaccinating and maintaining vaccination booster schedules as recommended.

Lebanon’s House Speaker Nabih Berri announced Thursday in a press conference the framework agreement representing the basis for the launch of indirect negotiations between Lebanon and the Zionist entity on demarcating the land and maritime borders.
Speaker Berri stressed that the negotiations will take place at the UNIFIL headquarters in Naqoura in southern Lebanon, adding that the United Nations will sponsor the “indirect talks” in accordance with April 1996 Understanding and the UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
The House Speaker pointed out that the United States will play the role of the mediator in the negotiations, adding that the approved version of the agreement would be handed to the United Nations in accordance with the international laws and the related treaties.
The demarcation of the maritime borders will allow Lebanon to repay all the debts in light of benefiting from the gas resources in blocks 8 and 9, Speaker Berri said.
“The demarcation will help Lebanon economically, and the French oil giant, Total, has promised to begin exploration operations before the end of the year.”
Meanwhile, Speaker Berri clarified that the framework agreement was concluded on September 7, 2020, before the US treasury imposed sanctions on the two Lebanese ministers Ali Hasan Khalil and Youssef Finianos, stressing that the two issues are not related.

It’s difficult to avoid seeing Milton’s referendum defeat of a proposed zoning law to permit higher-density housing construction as a signal setback for the state’s effort to pressure towns to make housing more affordable. There’s no getting around the importance of that effort. High housing prices not only burden current Bay State residents but act as a barrier to newcomers and their talent the state economy needs to thrive.
Instead, it’s incumbent on proponents — including Governor Maura Healey — of new housing construction in established communities to reflect on what it was about the proposal in Milton that so alienated voters, even after local Town Meeting approval, and to find a better way to persuade residents, rather than mandating construction or punishing the town.
Both the state law requiring MBTA communities to authorize new, higher-density housing and the language of Milton’s zoning proposal in the Town Meeting warrant seem almost designed to evoke a backlash. “The Multi-Family Zoning Requirement for MBTA Communities” is a classic, one-size-fits-all. Each of the 177 MBTA district cities and towns is mandated to create a district with a minimum gross density of 15 units per acre. It’s not obvious why that’s the magic number. Some towns have far more open space than others; for others, it looms as a high bar, as it did in Milton.
The wording of Milton’s proposal was similarly off-putting, proposing, for the East Milton district, for instance, “high-quality, multi-family and mixed-use development.” The combination of “multi-family” and 15 units per acre inevitably evokes the image of large apartment buildings in a low-rise town.
Similarly, the Town Meeting warrant language promised not incremental but dramatic change, framed as the most through-going zoning review in 100 years and intended to increase the town’s housing stock by 25 percent. It is neither fair nor accurate, but the combination of “multi-family” and “affordability” evokes fears of public housing-style structures with their attendant problems, such as those in Dorchester’s Franklin Field development, which recently prompted a state lawsuit over mice and mold. Morever, this should not be framed in racial terms: 16 percent of Milton’s residents are Black, and 15 percent are Asian American, Latino, or multiracial.
There’s another way to get residents in MBTA communities onboard: build on the tradition of two- to four-family homes already found in Milton, as well as other MBTA communities such as Brookline and Newton. State data show that 13 percent of current Milton housing is 2- to 4-family homes. Some of the zoning proposal actually pointed in that direction, emphasizing “lower density, high quality multi-family housing that helps preserve the existing physical context of the one- and two-unit neighborhoods adjacent to Blue Hills.”
Imagine a zoning proposal calling for an incremental increase in owner-occupied two- to four-family homes. Imagine further that it’s sold not as affordable housing but as “starter housing” for teachers, police, and firefighters, as well as young adults raised in Milton who’d like to stay in town or move back. Or for older homeowners facing high property tax bills who’d like to sell and downsize but stay in town. Persuasion, not mandate, is the right path forward. Emphasize benefits, not burdens.
Would a “zoning proposal to encourage starter homes” guarantee 15 units per acre? Perhaps not. But meeting the need for new housing should not be tied to a formula. New housing, even that not targeted or limited to specific income groups, helps to meet demand broadly. So, too, with the state focus on transit-oriented development. There remain those who prefer a yard and a driveway. Better to relax zoning and see what builders think buyers want. These may include small homes not near the T. In the 1950s, Brookline permitted construction of a subdivision of small, single-family homes in the part of the town farthest from transit; local police and firefighters welcomed the chance to move to Buttonwood Village and stay in their hometown.
The failure of the Milton referendum should not prompt the governor to punish Milton through local aid cuts or other sanctions. Better for local officials to sit down with opponents to discuss what sort of new housing might be attractive for their community. Invite builders to that conversation. As one “no” voter told Channel 25: “I think the town wants zoning of some kind … just not this zoning.”
Housing advocates should take the Milton defeat as a lesson from which they can learn.

Lady of the Lake is the story of Gunditjmara Elder Aunty Iris Lovett-Gardiner and her life at Lake Condah in the western districts of Victoria. "Brotherhood" is an excerpt.
The old fellas, they used to…like my dad and Uncle Chrissie, they went to the First World War, an’ I seen them walk around all day with each other an’ not say a word…not say a word. That’s the way their brotherly love was with them, because they knew what they’d been through together an’ I think it was just…they wanted to be in companionship with each other an’ there with each other. So we just let ‘em sit around in the sun and gave them biscuits an’ tea and things like that, an’ they’d walk about, shoulder to shoulder, they’d walk about. You’d never hear them talkin’ about anything but you knew what they was thinkin’ an’ too you never heard them say much about what they went through, the horrors that they went through, in the war, an’ I think it’s a great pity that things like that were lost to us….like their families an’ that missed them, an’ when they didn’t come home that was a greater misery, you know, an’ it seemed to all be for nothing because people never got… our people never got anything out of that, not even a thank you, you know… for the soldiers that really served and really knew what it was to leave their homeland to go somewhere else to fight. When they came home they were shell shocked an’ things like that…there were things like that with ‘em…an’ ah…my mother was telling me that her an’ dad were walking along the road to Heyworth and a bullock roared…sung out…an’ soon as it did, he ran and hid behind a stump. He sort of wasn’t over the war …the effects of the war still, you know. He used to get terrible headaches from gas, mustard gas an’ things like that. They all suffered in their own way but they never let anybody know…you know.

HONG KONG — Thousands of individuals holding candle lights collected Thursday in Hong Kong for a mournful memorial to mark the 31st anniversary of China’s military crackdown on demonstrators at Tiananmen square — in spite of a main restriction on events due to the coronavirus.
Thursday marks 31 years considering that Chinese soldiers opened fire on June 4, 1989, to end student-led discontent around the square in Beijing. Rights groups state the enforcement action might have eliminated countless protesters, although the main federal government count was a couple of hundred.
Hong Kong likewise passed a law Thursday that criminalizes the insulting of China’s nationwide anthem, amidst disorderly scenes in the area’s legislature.
The law, passed after 3 readings, makes it unlawful to insult the “March of the Volunteers” anthem. Booing, altering the lyrics or disrespecting the tune is now punishable with approximately 3 years in jail or fines equivalent to about $6,450.
Following the passage last month of a security law by Beijing at its National People’s Congress, pro-democracy legislators fear the anthem costs represents more infringement by the mainland on the semi-autonomous area.
Scuffles broke out a number of times in Hong Kong’s legislature throughout the passage of the anthem costs. On Thursday authorities went into the chamber after 2 pro-democracy legislators tossed around foul-smelling liquid — they stated to demonstration China’s crackdown at Tiananmen Square.
The subject is taboo on the mainland and Chinese authorities prohibit public ceremonies.
Chinese state media have actually drawn parallels in between the occasion and President Donald Trump’s current vow to utilize military force to stop violence that appeared in the U.S. following the authorities killing in Minneapolis of a black guy called George Floyd.
“The U.S. is proving the importance for China to restore order in 1989. But back then, the destruction of China’s order was much worse than U.S. now,” composed Hu Xijin, editor of the Global Times, a state-run Chinese tabloid, on Twitter.
Tensions in between China and the U.S. have actually been increasing amidst the international coronavirus pandemic, with a war of words that some have actually called a brand-new Cold War.
Chinese media have actually paid attention to the current U.S. demonstrations, contrasting them with assistance from U.S. political leaders for pro-democracy presentations that were regular in Hong Kong in 2015.
Further Hong Kong demonstrations flared last month after Beijing side-stepped the area’s own legislature to pass a security law that critics caution might deteriorate human rights defenses and the area’s special status.
The law was condemned by the U.S. and other nations, and President Trump stated it would likely spell completion of the unique financial treatment that Hong Kong takes pleasure in under U.S. law.
On Wednesday, State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus stated the U.S. honored the “brave Chinese people whose peaceful calls for democracy, human rights, and a corruption-free society came to a violent end,” at Tiananmen in 1989.
“We stand with the people of China who continue to aspire to a government that protects human rights, fundamental freedoms, and basic human dignity,” she stated in a declaration.
On the eve of the Tiananmen anniversary, democratically ruled Taiwan gotten in touch with China to excuse the bloody 1989 crackdown and start democratic political reform. The call was dismissed as “nonsense” by China’s foreign ministry.
“As to the political disturbance in the late 1980s, China has drawn a clear conclusion,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian, stated at a press instruction Wednesday.
In Hong Kong, too, where public ceremonies generally proceed each year, for the very first time, vigils will happen online — due to the coronavirus pandemic, authorities state — although more than one thousand individuals still collected at the city’s main Victoria Park.
The Hong Kong Alliance, a pro-democracy advocacy group formed in 1989, has actually arranged a virtual candlelight vigil. The group stated it would likewise stream a program of occasions online, consisting of a minute’s silence and motto chanting.
“We believe the people of Hong Kong should have the right to light up a candle to condemn the massacre; this is part of our freedom of speech,” Lee Cheuk-yan, chairman of the Hong Kong Alliance, informed NBC News.
“With the national security law we will still continue to have the vigil. … There may be personal risk but we do not want to live in fear. We will still continue.”
Hong Kong’s Chief Executive Carrie Lam, speaking Wednesday from Beijing, stated the area would not pull back on nationwide security laws which foreign federal governments were showing “double-standards.”
Justin Solomon, Tesa Arcilla and Ed Flanagan reported from Hong Kong. Adela Suliman reported from London.

Students at Sydney University law library are so busy they hardly notice the jape
An Australian YouTube prankster has targeted law students in his latest rave-based stunt.
The stunt takes place in the law library of Sydney University, and begins with the prankster — who is called ‘SlenderTheMan’ — asking an unsuspecting law student for a spare pair of headphones.
Clearly not recognising the social media star — who has amassed a Facebook following of over 23,000 — the student advises him to borrow some from reception.
Ignoring her advice, SlenderTheMan reaches into his bag to reveal a portable speaker. He quickly plugs it into his phone before beginning a very intense one-man rave as music blares out around the library.
It’s clear at this point that the social media sensation has done his research, with his choice of track a remix of the 1995 Faithless hit ‘Insomnia’ — which most of the students in the room can no doubt relate to.
However the prankster’s attempt to get a reaction out of the legal hopefuls fails miserably. Despite the loud music and intense arm flailing, he only succeeds in eliciting the occasional glance from the focused law students. “You carry on, but I have vac-scheme to apply for,” their reaction seems to suggest.
Having completed his rave, SlenderTheMan — by now slightly unsettled — addresses the library, exclaiming “good study sesh guys!”, before scuttling away.
Nor has the video — which appeared on both Facebook and YouTube four days ago — impressed everyone on social media, with online criticism has forcing SlenderTheMan to clarify on his Facebook page that the stunt was intended to be “harmless fun”.

And don’t forget that as soon as Obama leaves office Obamacare will essentially be an orphan. The right hates it for obvious reasons (it is a government takeover of health care, it has Obama’s name attached, etc.) but many on the left never really wanted it either. The base of the Democratic party never trusted the central role insurance companies play in Obamacare and many of them still pine for a fully government-run single payer health care system. The current Obamacare framework will have to fail before they can push for further government control.
So take a step back and what will Obama have really accomplished? A blah-economy, with unacceptable unemployment, stagnant growth and rising income inequality; a resurgent al-Qaeda, and a signature domestic accomplishment already on life-support.
If that is greatness, our country is truly in trouble.

Video obtained by Alpha News appears to show Republican state House candidate Bob Loonan soliciting campaign donations through one of the continuing education courses he teaches.
Loonan, a former member of the Minnesota House of Representatives looking to recapture his old seat, offers insurance and real estate courses through Loonan & Loonan’s Consulting. The courses fulfill credit requirements for continuing-education students.
Right before wrapping up a class session, Loonan reminded students he is “running for office again” and highlighted the state’s “refund program” for any donation up to $50.
“If you have problems [finding] that, just get a hold of me at that same email address and I’ll set you up with that also. I appreciate that,” Loonan said, directing students to his campaign website.
The course allegedly took place July 19, but Loonan has not responded to Alpha News’ request for comment.
In late 2014, Loonan was fined $10,000 and temporarily suspended from teaching his courses after refusing to participate in a Minnesota Department of Commerce hearing on his purported violations of state law.
The department had been investigating Loonan for only teaching two-and-a-half hours in a class worth four credit hours, and allowing third-party companies to supply students with a notebook and a pen in the classroom.
“I learned my lesson,” he said at the time, per Shakopee Valley News.
More recently, Loonan has found himself in hot water over accusations that he violated Minnesota’s Fair Campaign Practices law.
Loonan, running against incumbent Rep. Erik Mortensen in District 54A, appears to have falsely claimed an endorsement from the Republican Party of Minnesota and referred to his “re-election” on reused campaign literature from his previous time in office.
Mortensen has defeated Loonan twice in the district’s Republican primary, once in 2018 when Loonan was the incumbent, and again in 2020. The Scott County Republican Party of Minnesota — the local GOP chapter in District 54A — did not endorse either Mortensen or Loonan at its convention this year.

Are you that young graduate who has made countless job applications with no positive feedback? Are you tired of depending on your parents for financial support? And you are pondering when it will come to an end. You can’t stop now, multitudes gave up at the verge of their breakthrough; don’t add to that lot! Be encouraged.
Are you that one person who is so timid and only interacts with his laptop, tablet, phone and TV? Everyone else around you relates with ease and fits in effortlessly. Just step out and shy not, try talking with someone today. Your life may just be the next happening thing around. So be encouraged.
Are you the old lady/man in the elderly people’s home whose children seldom visit and you are pondering where you went wrong to deserve that? Don’t worry if you are able to read this, it is because you still have life so be joyful someone’s got your back. Be encouraged.
Are you a new blogger like myself? You have been writing and seem to have little feedback, be encouraged. Remind yourself constantly why you started blogging in the first place. And find ways to keep on keeping on.

Netflix mystery thriller "The Night of the 8th Day" has released teaser posters and teaser trailers.
"The Night of the 8th Day" is a movie about an eight-day struggle that takes place to prevent the release of the seal of "what should not be awakened" that will bring pain-filled hell across the seven stepping stones to the world.
The teaser poster, which stimulates curiosity with a copy of "Never open your eyes," is the first to overwhelm the atmosphere with Lee Sung-min's wary eyes. Park Jin-soo (by Lee Sung-min), who is born to be a protector, sitting alone in a dark room with a candlelit and unknown expression on his face. The huge black shadow behind him doubles the curiosity of what the story will unfold in the future in a mysterious form as if it were a human figure that he should never wake up from.
Lee Sung-min plays Park Jin-soo, who is born to protect the fate of "the one who protects" so that the seal of "what should not be woken up" is not released. Park Hae-joon adds thriller fun to the role of Kim Ho-tae, a violent detective investigating seven deaths found in bizarre looks. Kim Yoo-jung appears as a girl with a secret, amplifying the mystery of "seven stepping stones." Nam Da-reum stars as the Dong Ja-seung Cheongseok, who conveys to Park Jin-soo, the "guardian" that "it" is about to wake up.
Because of the COVID 19, "The Night of the 8th Day" will be released on Netflix, not theaters.

01 April 2014, Lagos – Some oil marketers on Monday threatened to embark on industrial strike following the shutdown of Nigerian Independent Petroleum Company (NIPCO) by National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG).
NUPENG shutdown the NIPCO facilities on March 24.
Mr Abidemi Agunbiade, Chairman, a concerned group of IPMAN, expressed worries over the looming fuel scarcity in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
Agunbiade said that the shutdown of the NIPCO had affected over 1,000 marketers who had paid money to load petrol.
According to him, over 450 million litres of fuel imported to discharge into NIPCO depot are still on the high seas due to the shutdown of the company.
“About four vessels are on the high seas including those of the NNPC.
“The stranded vessels are paying demurrage of 15,000 dollars to 20,000 dollars on daily basis due to the shutdown of NIPCO by the leadership of NUPENG,’’ he said.
The concerned marketers said that the shut down had congested Apapa jetty with vessels that were ready to discharge products to NIPCO tank farms.
Agunbiade said that about 80 million litres of petrol had been shut at the depot.
He said that the depot dispensed over 20 per cent of total fuel demand of the nation.
Agunbiade said that all the retail outlets of IPMA would be shut down if NIPCO was not reopened by March 31.
“We are just being careful not to shut down our retail outlets nationwide because we control over 87 per cent retail outlets.
When the correspondent of NAN contacted Mr Isaac Eberare, National Ssecretary of NUPENG, he said “I am not in Lagos, I don’t know what is happening”.
“The NUPENG president is the only person that can answer the question on NIPCO’s closure,’’ he said.
A correspondent, who visited NIPCO on Monday, reports that marketers and workers of the company were still protesting the closure of the company and said that they were ready to commence operations.
NAN also reports that the situation in the depot has become tense.
Some tanker drivers said that they had exhausted all the money on them after staying in the depot for over eight days.
NUPENG Deputy Chairman, Alhaji Oladejo Ambali, who addressed the workers, said that the situation was fast assuming a dangerous dimension.
He promised to take the workers’ grievances to the national leadership of the union.

Hey! I'm looking for some musicians wanting to start up a band. So far, we have a guitarist, who is 29, and me, the bassist, who is 21. And we possibly have a 2nd guitarist. Hoping to at least find a drummer soon to start jamming and coming up with stuff. Also looking for a keyboard player or singer.
We like bands like Kings of Leon, Two Door Cinema Club, The Killers, Young the Giant, Pheonix, and plenty of others.
If you are interested, send me an email or a text. Texting is easier to get ahold of me because my phone's email is messed up.

Can ovulation bleeding be in the same room? Are these preventive health measures ready?
Is the two menstrual bleeding an ovulation bleeding? Can we arrange the same room? Is it harmful to the body? Presumably many women who encounter this situation will have questions. Let's talk about it below.


What would you say, if we were to tell you that in your home there are thousands if not millions of microscopic creatures feeding on your dead skin cells? Ehhhuuhk! It sounds like a science fiction or horror movie doesn’t it? It’s not. It’s the truth!!!
In almost every home, almost everywhere on earth, there are dust mites. Dust Mites are invisible to the naked eye, you need a microscope to see them. Dust mites and their feces can devastate allergy sufferers causing sneezing, coughing, and much more severe symptoms. Even if you don’t suffer from allergies, your friends and family may. Read on to learn more about how dust mites can affect your health and what to do about them!
What are dust mites? What do they eat?
Dust mites are insect-like, but are not insects. They are actually arachnids, and their relatives include ticks, spiders, and scorpions. Arachnids do not have antennae like insects, and have 8 legs, where insects have 6. They are microscopic creatures and cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Dust mites eat the dead skin cells from animals including people and their pets. They do not bite people or animals. They normally only eat dead animal cells, but will also eat old fish food, pet food, cereal crumbs, and tiny bits of food that tend to be forgotten in dark corners. Dust mites thrive in warm, moist environments, just like mold. They prefer temperatures from 68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit (20 to 25 degrees Celsius) and humidity levels from 70 to 80 percent. (Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, 2015)
Where do they come from?
Dust mites are found anywhere there is a food source for them, so just about everywhere on earth. They concentrate in areas where the environment is warm, moist and has a readily available food source, such as where people and animals live. So dust mites live in nearly everyone’s home, office, and everywhere we go.
Dust mites do not drink water like we do, but absorb moisture from the air. Deserts and other regions that have low humidity, have much lower dust mite populations because they must have humid air to survive.
One of the good things about dust mites and their feces is that they usually do not stay airborne (unlike pet dander). Dust mite allergens are usually found in carpet, on bedding, furniture, and fabrics in your home, which serve as nests for the creatures. They are usually still unless disturbed by movement such as, making or stripping the bed, sitting down or getting up from furniture or other fabrics, walking on carpets, etc.
How do dust mites affect my health?
Dust mites and their feces can be major triggers for those with dust mite allergies and asthma. Exposure to dust mites over long periods of time can cause chronic allergy and asthma problems. Dust mites are scavengers and recyclers and do not ever bite people or animals.
According to the Mayo Clinic, dust mite allergy symptoms include:
- Runny nose
- Itchy, red or watery eyes
- Nasal congestion
- Itchy nose, roof of mouth or throat
- Postnasal drip
- Facial pressure and pain
- Swollen, blue-colored skin under your eyes
- In a child, frequent upward rubbing of the nose
If your dust mite allergy contributes to asthma, you may also experience:
- Difficulty breathing
- Chest tightness or pain
- An audible whistling or wheezing sound when exhaling
- Trouble sleeping caused by shortness of breath, coughing or wheezing
- Bouts of coughing or wheezing that are worsened by a respiratory virus such as a cold or the flu
Mild cases of dust mite allergy may only cause mild symptoms, such as a runny nose or itchy eyes. More severe allergies can cause chronic illness due to coughing, sneezing, congestion and facial pressure, and even severe asthma attacks.
These symptoms remind me of having a cold. How do I know if I have allergies or a cold? When should I go to the doctor?
Allergies usually last longer than a week, and symptoms do not clear up. If symptoms are severe (severe asthma attack, coughing or nasal congestion), you should seek your doctor’s help immediately. If you are short of breath when doing basic activities, you should see your doctor.
Doctors can diagnose a dust mite allergy with a skin prick test or an IgE (or antibody) blood test.
Skin prick tests can be done in a doctor or allergists office. A drop of water, that contains the allergen to be tested, is dropped onto the skin, and then pricked with a sterile needle. If you are allergic to the substance, you will usually develop a red, itchy wheal at the spot within 20 minutes. Developing an itchy wheal does not necessarily mean you have an allergy. The doctor must measure the size of the wheal and determine how long it took to develop.
Blood tests are used when you are taking medicine for a skin condition or taking medicine that interferes with skin testing. Blood tests may also be used for children, who may not tolerate the skin prick test. For the IgE blood test, your blood is added to a tube with specific allergens, then antibodies that are produced by the blood are measured to determine the severity of the allergy.
Reducing and Removing Dust Mites
Dust mites can wreak havoc on your sinuses, but fear not! You can reduce their population in your home with some simple changes and a cleaning routine.
All vacuum cleaners are NOT created equal when it comes to allergens such as dust mites. Vacuum cleaners equipped with a high-efficiency particulate air filter or HEPA filter are vital when dealing with dust mites. According to The Spruce, “true HEPA filters have a serial number assigned to them and have been proven to trap at least 99.97 percent of particles of 0.3 microns.” Which means they can trap dust mites, their feces, pet dander, and other allergens you don’t want coming back into the air after vacuuming!
Using the vacuum attachments allows you to reach all sorts of places that dust mites can hide, such as in corners, on furniture, in couches even hanging from the ceiling!
A word about robot vacuums… It sounds wonderful doesn’t it, something to vacuum your house for your everyday! Except, most robot vacuums cannot reach corners or under tables, cannot remove dust from furniture, and cannot reach anything above the floor. Real elbow grease is required to clean and remove dust mites from all those other places where they hide.
Vacuuming alone may also not be enough! Dust mites hide deep in cushions, couches, chairs, mattresses, pillows and even stuffed animals.
Washing Sheets, Curtains, Pillows and other Fabrics
Have you been waking up sneezing every day this week? Maybe dust mites on your sheets are to blame. Wash sheets at least weekly in hot water (130F or higher). Pillows, stuffed animals, curtains, sheets, and cushions can also harbor dust mites. Washing fabrics in water that is at least 130F will kill dust mites. If your washing machine has an allergen setting, use it! The allergen cycle on a washing machine makes the machine heat the water to 130F or higher in the wash cycle, killing dust mites. Check fabric labels for washability first! If possible, remove any fabrics from your home decor that are not washable or cannot be washed in hot water.
You can choose to use a mattress cover and pillow covers that are dust mite proof. The covers work in three different ways. 1. Covers prevent dust mites from reaching their food source (your dead skin cells). 2. They keep dust mites and allergens from flying into the air each time you sit on your bed. 3. Covers keep mattresses and pillows clean. Most mattress and pillow covers that are dust mite proof must be washed and dried on cool settings, so as not to ruin the plastic part of these covers. You can also choose mattress and pillow covers that can be washed in hot water (but not dust mite proof) to remove dust mites.
That favorite stuffed animal may be causing more trouble than you know. Stuffed animals are havens for dust mites, especially the most loved toys that are slept with often. If possible, reduce the number of stuffed animals in your home. Wash toys weekly in hot water to kill dust mites. Warning: this may shorten the life of the toy! Having children rotate which animal they sleep with can help make toys last longer. Be sure to check that toys are washable first!
Carpet is a breeding ground for dust mites, and can never be cleaned enough to eliminate them! Removing carpet, especially in bedrooms, and replacing it with solid flooring is essential for allergy sufferers. Solid surface flooring should be mopped at least weekly to reduce dust mite populations. Rugs that can be washed weekly in hot water are a good choice as well.
If removing carpet is not an option, steam cleaning twice a year can reduce dust mites.
You could choose a professional cleaning service, but be aware… the chemicals they use to clean your carpets can also emit VOC’s, be dangerous, or even toxic. There are very few regulations on commercial or consumer carpet cleaning chemicals in the US. It is safer therefore to do it yourself.
Deep or Steam Cleaning Carpets
When deep cleaning carpets, vacuum the room twice and move any easily movable furniture to another room. Spottreat stains before steam cleaning. Popular Mechanics has an excellent guide to spot cleaning called 10 Carpet Cleaning Secrets from the Pros.
You can rent steam or buy cleaners, and make your own cleaning solutions. The simplest cleaning solution is to simply use hot (not boiling) water in the steam cleaner. Hot water gets most dirt and grime out of carpets without needing any further help. If carpets are very dirty, using white vinegar with hot water at a rate of 1 cup of vinegar to 2 and a ½ gallons of hot water should help remove more grime. Be sure to open the windows and turn on ceiling fans to ventilate the room before beginning, and to help the carpets dry faster.
Most steam cleaners have 2 modes, the first to wet the carpet, and the second to remove the water. Be sure to do three or more passes with the second mode to remove as much water and grime as possible. Once the carpet has been cleaned, use ceiling or box fans to dry the carpet before allowing people and pets to walk on it. You can use aluminum foil to cover the bottom of furniture legs to keep furniture stain from bleeding into the carpet.
Twice a year deep cleaning is usually sufficient for a family of 4 in a home without allergies or asthma. However, if you have pets or high traffic areas of carpet such as in a school or business, deep cleaning is recommended more frequently. To learn more about how often to deep clean commercial carpets go to: How Often Should You Clean Commercial Carpet by Pam Peters of DPM Floor and Upholstery Care.
We highly recommend that you remove as much carpet as possible from homes, schools, and businesses and replace the carpet with hard surface flooring.
Mopping and Dusting
Vacuuming and mopping floors often can help reduce dust mite populations as well as other potential allergens. Using a damp rag, rather than a dry rag, to dust hard surfaces can keep dust mite allergens out of the air. Vacuuming dust with a vacuum cleaner that has a HEPA filter also keeps dust and dust mites out of the air. Couches and chairs that are made of fabric can be very difficult to keep clean and dust mite free! At least once a month, couches and chairs should have cushions removed and the insides vacuumed and fabric covers should be washed. Dust mite covers are also available for chairs and couches. Leather or vinyl couches and chairs are ideal for those with allergies can be wiped with a damp rag to reduce dust.
Dust mites and molds thrive in high humidity environments. Make your home less hospitable! Humidity levels below 50% (or between 30-50%) can reduce both dust mite and mold growth in your home. You can measure the moisture level in your home using a tool called a hygrometer. Hygrometers are inexpensive and easy to use. They can be moved from room to room to measure moisture and temperature levels. You may find that some rooms in your home are more humid than others.
Using a dehumidifier can help reduce moisture levels. To learn more about weather you need a dehumidifier, check out this article from The Spruce: Signs You Might Need a Dehumidifier (2019).
Reducing dust mite populations is possible with knowledge, a little elbow grease, and a few home improvements. Once dust mite populations are reduced, allergy symptoms to dust mites should decrease. Remember that dust mites thrive on fabrics, carpet, and in high humidity. We hope we have given you the knowledge you need, so that you can be symptom free and breathe clean fresh indoor air!

How Can I Watch Gwen Stefani’s You Make It Feel Like Christmas When Travelling Outside of the United States?
When you travel outside of the United States, you need to be prepared because there are licensing deals in place that will make it difficult for you to enjoy content when traveling abroad.

Of course, this can be quite annoying for those who are often traveling and simply want to be able to enjoy the content that they pay for back home. Thankfully, the problem can be fixed relatively easy with the help of a VPN that can change your IP address in just a few moments.

The TV provider can be either a live TV service, like the ones we described above or a cable company. (Note: You should be aware of the fact that the NBC website and the app are geo-blocked, so if you travel outside of the United States, you’re going to have to use a VPN to enjoy the content.)
Can I Watch Gwen Stefani’s You Make It Feel Like Christmas With a TV Antenna?
NBC is a channel that continues to broadcast over-the-air so you can enjoy it quite easily with the help of a TV antenna. TV antennas are devices that will help you enjoy dozens of TV networks for free. Of course, the number of actual networks you’ll get to watch depends on where you live.
