Choosing a wedding band can be a tough decision to make. Most couples would want something meaningful that captures the essence of their relationship, yet there are so many beautiful rings on the market that makes choosing the perfect one a lengthy quest.
Here at Love & Co., we know how hard it is to scour through pages of web stores or even physical jewellery shops in search of the ideal pair of wedding bands. As such, we've come up with a simplified list that showcases 5 wonderful wedding ring collections from our brand!
1. LVC PROMISE
As most people believe, marriage is when two lives intertwine in a promise of commitment for the rest of their lives. This beautiful promise is encapsulated in LVC Promise's design, inspired by the steadfastness of a tightly bound bolt and nut. Couples will find rings from this collection a meaningful celebration of their promise for eternal love, devotion, bond, commitment, and togetherness, represented by each of the five grooves on the band.
For an alternative take on the style, couples can opt for the wedding bands which feature interlocking 'L' shapes, like the tight embrace of two lovers to symbolise eternal love.
Bold and modern, the LVC Promise wedding bands are suitable for both men and women with contemporary sensibilities. If you prefer a more feminine touch for the lady's ring, a version with channel-set diamonds adds just the right amount of bling to bedazzle you.
Prefer a slimmer, low-profile style of this collection? The Baby Promise might just be what you're looking for! Available in white gold or rose gold, this take on the LVC Promise design flatters all wearers regardless of skin tones.
The ladies' version is adorned with a perfectly cut diamond, showing off 8 hearts and arrows in a display of remarkable optical symmetry. With the right balance of elegance and boldness, these rings are excellent for modern, everyday wear.
2. LVC NOEUD
Tying the knot with the love of your life is definitely a dream come true for many. The LVC Noeud collection presents a poetic take on the nuptial knot – an ancient Celtic ceremonial practice that saw couples literally tying their hands together with cloth.
This handfasting ceremony, as it is called, represents the coming together of two to become one. Capturing this idea of unity and bondedness, the LVC Noeud rings are befitting for romantic lovers. The dainty ribbon knot will suit the taste of sweet ladies, paired with a classic wedding band for the groom.
3. LVC ETERNO
Diamonds are a classic on engagement rings, but they are also well-loved on wedding bands! Rightfully so, as diamonds are gemstones that last practically forever. Seal your eternal love with these diamond studded rings from the LVC Eterno collection, whether in a half or full eternity band style. Arranged along the circle formation of the ring, the diamonds bear the story of the circle of love and life.
Choose from styles with pavé, claw or channel-set diamonds for a radiant wedding band you'll love. Dainty, glitzy, yet not overbearing, LVC Eterno is surely a classic one that minimalist lovers will appreciate. It will also match wear with your diamond ring if you are intending to wear it together.
Perfection is when your engagement ring and wedding band sits nicely together on your finger! Indeed, the LVC Perfection rings are designed with this purpose in mind, made for design-conscious gents and ladies. The curved wedding bands let engagement rings with a compass prong setting ensconce perfectly to the groove of the wedding band for a seamless look.
Fluid lines that flow and intertwine exude gracefulness that is tastefully modern. There are a variety for couples to choose from.
Is gold too 'mainstream' for you? For a rarer and more precious ring, opt for platinum! Tougher and less common than gold or silver, platinum is the material of choice for couples who wish to stray from the path most taken. Honour your pure love with the LVC Purete platinum rings, crafted from Platinum 950 – that's 95% pure platinum!
Lovingly shaped and designed to showcase the dense material's beautiful silver-toned sheen, the rings also come with options paired with diamonds according to your preferred style. Truly, get inspired by the strength and preciousness of platinum, for a marriage that stands unshaken by adversities.
Every ring has a story to tell. Which collection resonates best with your story of love? If you wish to have even more personalised rings, we offer bespoke customisation services as well at our LVC Diamond Concierge.
We welcome you to our stores for a fitting session, or simply to browse through our vast selection of rings. Speak to our lovely jewellers at our stores to find the perfect fit for you!

With motherhood as a point of departure, Aftermath explores the sense that ‘something is over’ and questions what comes next.
During the making of the show, Recacha carried out an outreach programme for mothers and their small children, immersing herself again in that period of early childcare and its impact on the mother’s sense of identity and agency.
Inspired by Recacha’s own experience of motherhood and the social isolation that can accompany it, Aftermath questions what it means to live in a ‘post-everything’ world – post- feminist, post-truth and now post-time. The show imagines a world where the characters are dead, where change is no longer an option and no future awaits. Is motivation possible in such a world?
The audience is seated within the performers’ arena. They are part of the dancers’ journey and yet they are not directly involved. Aftermath comments on our reluctance to act in the face of certain situations, and on the normality of this passivity.
“giddy, ridiculous and amusing two-hander”
“Eleanor Sikorski and Charlotte Maclean weave patterns of wit and absurdity in Eva Recacha’s quietly radical show”
“The pair heat up to a giddy, edge-of-madness energy reminiscent of early French and Saunders.” – The Guardian
“It’s perfect casting with Sikorski as the acerbic, calculating wit and Mclean as the mercurial creative force; their two trajectories start on a fragile thread and fuse together to the point of familiarity and mutual admiration.”
“With its cross between The Private Life Of and Monty Python, Aftermath is as much an exploration of ennui as a picture of the divergent elements of artistic endeavour.” –

‘Matteo and I spoke with admiration and enthusiasm about how smart the work was, the excellent sound work, the innovative forms of tension and stress. I loved the beginning where it seemed to me the two dancers were singing an endless national anthem without making sounds. For me it was as if the entire piece happened on top of an electrical cable, the feeling of being zapped and held in rigour by the 24/7 world we inhabit.’ P.A Skantze

Elementary school is a tough time in the lives of many children. Most kids report a lot of boredom at school. They hate homework and would rather be playing outside. Although recess is fun, most of their time is spent doing some things that they find boring. Perhaps this is a good idea given that some kids will end up doing a job they don't like! However, shouldn't elementary school be a time when kids have some fun? Obviously you need to teach them some critical skills, but it is also important for them to enjoy themselves. One way to do so is to encourage their creative side. If kids are given an opportunity to express themselves and control a creative product you will find that they enjoy school much more. Regular creative projects will dramatically change the way elementary school kids think about learning. Because most kids love animals it is a good idea to integrate this love with their creativity. Although most kids don't know how to draw animals they can learn to color them. Described below are some of my favorite animal coloring crafts for elementary school.

Where to stay
Without much effort, the Paradise Hotel easily claims the title of one the finest three-star hotels in the area of Old Quarter. To mention its excellent service later, the obvious plus for any travellers who stay at the Paradise Hotel is that they are in the walking distance from the charming, old gems of the Old Quarter from the Hoan Kiem Lake, Temple of Literature, One-Pillar Pagoda, The Southern City Gate, Dong Xuan market to the freshly-packed Night Market.
The hotel has four room types- the Deluxe Room, the Paradise Suite Room, the Family Suite Room and the Paradise VIP Room. The Deluxe Room has a full-length window, an ample king bed and a convenient working desk. The Paradise Suite Room is slightly bigger with two beds in king-sire. They also add a sofa for your convenience. The Family Suite Room has unofficially claimed the best title for a family of four. The room has a king-size bed and two twin beds.
Thinking of a budget and your teenagers who can not put up with each other. There you go, this room type fits right in. They also have a satellite TV and a comfortable en-suite bathroom. Book early though as they only have 5 rooms of this kind. The last kind is the Paradise VIP room. It brings in a more upscale experience with a paranomic view over the hustling city outside. They have a living room in the same location with your bed room. There is a good hi-fi system if you want some music with good resonation. There is a restroom at the living room while a spacious bathroom with a bath tub gives you some real rest.
Another reason for you to choose the Paradise Hotel is its variety of package tours. The Hanoi Outskirt tour is good for anyone who do not favor long-distance tours as it brings you the interesting trade villages at the outskirt of Hanoi. You can go shop for silk and pottery from the famous silk village of Van Phuc and the pottery village of Bat Trang. This tour also gets you on a river cruise through lush green mountains in Ninh Binh province. Of course this does not exclude a junk cruise into the legendary Ha Long Bay. If you have more time and energy in hand. Go for the Northern Exposure tour. This tour takes a little bit down south to beautiful river of Ninh Binh again. Then you venture into the crystal blue of Ha Long Bay and the verdant greenery of mountainous Sapa.

Scientists turn X-ray laser into world's fastest water heater
Scientists have used a powerful X-ray laser at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory to heat water from room temperature to 100,000 degrees Celsius (C) in less than a tenth of a picosecond, or millionth of a millionth of a second. SLAC is operated by Stanford University.
The experimental setup, which can be seen as the world's fastest water heater, produced an exotic state of water from which researchers hope to learn more about the peculiar characteristics of Earth's most important liquid. The observations also have practical use for probing biological and many other samples with X-ray lasers.
The research team from Germany's Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY), Uppsala University in Sweden, and SLAC reported its findings in May in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The researchers used SLAC's Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) X-ray free-electron laser to shoot extremely intense and ultrashort flashes of X-rays at a jet of water.
"It is not the usual way to boil your water," said Carl Caleman of the Center for Free-Electron Science (CFEL) at DESY and Uppsala University. "Normally, when you heat water, the molecules will just be shaken stronger and stronger." On the molecular level, heat is motion -- the hotter the temperature, the faster the motion of the molecules. This can be achieved, for example, via heat transfer from a stove, or more directly with microwaves that make the water molecules swing back and forth ever faster in step with an electromagnetic field.
In this experiment, "Our heating is fundamentally different," Caleman said. "The energetic X-rays punch electrons out of the water molecules, thereby destroying the balance of electric charges. So, suddenly the atoms feel a strong repulsive force and start to move violently." In less than 75 femtoseconds -- that's 75 millionths of a billionth of a second, or 0.000000000000075 seconds -- the water goes through a phase transition from liquid to plasma. A plasma is a state of matter where the electrons have been removed from the atoms, leading to a sort of electrically charged gas.
"But while the water transforms from liquid to plasma, it still remains at the density of liquid water, as the atoms didn't have time to move significantly yet," said co-author Olof Jönsson from Uppsala University. This exotic state of matter is nothing that can be found naturally on Earth, he added: "It has similar characteristics as some plasmas in the sun and in the gas giant Jupiter, but has a lower density. Meanwhile, it is hotter than Earth's core."
The scientists used their measurements to validate simulations of the process. Together, the measurements and simulations allowed them to study this exotic state of water in order to learn more about water's general properties.
"Water really is an odd liquid, and if it weren't for its peculiar characteristics, many things on Earth wouldn't be as they are, particularly life," Jönsson said. Water displays many anomalies, including its density, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity. It is these anomalies that will be investigated within the future Center for Water Science (CWS) planned at DESY, and the results obtained at LCLS are of great importance for the activities there.
Apart from its fundamental significance, the study also has immediate practical significance. X-ray lasers are often used to investigate the atomic structure of tiny samples. "It is important for any experiment involving liquids at X-ray lasers," said co-author Kenneth Beyerlein from CFEL. "In fact, any sample that you put into the X-ray beam will be destroyed in the way that we observed here. If you analyze anything that is not a crystal, you have to consider this."
The measurements show almost no structural changes in the water up to 25 femtoseconds after being hit with an X-ray pulse. But at 75 femtoseconds, changes are already evident.
"The study gives us a better understanding of what we do to different samples," explained co-author Nicusor Timneanu from Uppsala University, one of the key scientists developing the theoretical model the research team used. "Its observations are also important to consider for the development of techniques to image single molecules or other tiny particles with X-ray lasers."

Honda Malaysia is set to introduce the Jazz facelift soon, as bookings for the new model will be opened on 11 May. Our friends over at Automachi was tipped by a reader with details of the updated Honda Jazz.
First up, the new Honda Jazz will receive LED daytime running lights and new dual-tone alloy wheels. On top of that, the new Jazz will also receive a new chrome front grille plus revised front and rear bumpers. Inside, we can expect to see the inclusion of a new multi-angle reverse camera and combi leather seats. All variants of the new Jazz will also receive a push start button with smart entry system, which was previously available on the Jazz Grade E and Grade V only.
Safety wise, the leaked brochure mentioned that 6 airbags, VSA, Emergency Stop Signal (ESS), HSA, BA and ABS is available, though there is no mention that the safety kit is standard on all variants. If the updated Honda City is any indication, VSA could be standard on all variants of the new Jazz.
From what we gathered, changes aren't as drastic as the updated Honda City, but that may not be all as Honda Malaysia has previously teaser that we could expect a Jazz Hybrid some time this year.

A ray of light traveling in air falls on the surface of a transparent glass slab at an angle of 60º with the normal to the surface. Find the angle made by the refracted ray with the normal within the glass slab. Refractive index of the material of the glass slab is 1.5
We know that refractive index of glass slab is 1.5
Here the incidence angle is i=60o
Using snell's law
nairsin(i) = nglasssin(r)
sin60o = 1.5sinr
=> √3/2 = 1.5sinr
=> 1/√3 = sin r
=> r = 35.26o ≈ 35o
When a beam of light moves from a rarer medium to a denser medium:
When light enters from rarer to denser medium its velocity decreases. Hence the ray bends towards normal.
Fish anticipates the presence of hunter farther due to
Light coming from the fish refracts (changes direction) when it hits the surface. A person above the water sees the apparent position of the fish closer to the surface than the real position of the fish.
The bending of a beam of light when it passes obliquely from one medium to another is known as _______.
The bouncing back of light is known as reflection of light while refraction of light is the bending light when it pass through one medium to another
You are given kerosene, turpentine and water. In which of these does the light travel fastest ?
The values of refractive index of given substances are:
For kerosene n = 1.44
For turpentine n = 1.47
Water n = 1.33
Optical density of Turpentine is maximum so light travel with minimum speed so,
Speed of light maximum in water then kerosene then minimum in Turpentine.
If the refractive index of two media are equal, then
If the refractive index of two medium is same then light wave will travel in a straight line without bending. So we can see that the bending of light will depend upon the refractive index of medium.
Light is refracted when it travels at an angle from water into air because
As the light travels from denser medium to lighter medium its speed increases.
According to Snell’s law, the relation between angle of incidence and angle of refraction is
The bending of light ray due to change in its speed is
Refraction is the bending of a wave when it enters a medium where its speed is different. The refraction of light when it passes from a fast medium to a slow medium bends the light ray toward the normal to the boundary between the two media. The amount of bending depends on the indices of refraction of the two media and is described quantitatively by Snell's Law.
A ray of light travelling in air falls on the surface of a rectangular slab of a plastic material whose refractive index is 1.6. If the incident ray makes an angle of 53º with the normal, find the angle made by the refracted ray with the normal (sin 530 = 4/5)
If the speed of light in medium 1 and medium 2 are 2.5 x 102 m/s and 2 x 102 m/s respectively then the refractive index of medium 1 with respect to medium 2 is _______.
Refractive index of medium 1 with respect to medium 2 = c2 / c1
⇒ 2*102 / 2.5*102
The ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction equals refractive index is called
When a ray of light passes from a denser medium to a rarer medium,
Light changes its path as the medium changes during the transit. This is because of
Its because the velocity of light varies according to the medium,as the speed decreases and increases in different medium,this makes light ray to move towards or away from normal by changing its direction or path in that medium.
A coin is placed at the bottom of a bowl and water is poured into it. The coin appears to be ________ due to _______.
A coin placed at the bottom ofa tank appears to be raised when water is poured into it. It happens due to the phenomenon of refraction of light. The point from which the refracted rays appear to come gives the apparent position of the coin.

FX & CFD trading involves significant risk
During today's briefing, Moody's analysts said that the negative interest rates worsen the profitability of Japanese banks. Moreover, the build-up of negative interest rates would harm the banking sector. However, Moody's stressed that banking institutions still earn on deposit taking and for this reason there is room for growth of negative interest by the Central Bank.

My book reviews this month were for Nancy Drew Files #33 and #34.
We are getting close to an interesting part of the series! #38 is The Final Scene, which became Game #5. #39 is The Suspect Next Door, which launches the Right Heights spinoff series.
Meanwhile, the Baby-Sitters Club is inching closer and closer to the point where it officially goes into franchise mode. As in, the TV series launches, the spinoff series gets regularized and ghostwriters take over. This is also the point where I have to decide if I'll buy more books or if I'll just skip over the books that I don't have. I didn't have Book #20, but luckily, my local library had it, so I was able to read it without buying it.

(AP) — The federal government wants to get involved in a whistleblower lawsuit against Eastern Kentucky disability lawyer Eric C. Conn.
Media outlets report attorneys with the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Division filed a motion Tuesday in federal court asking to "partially intervene for a good cause."
The lawsuit was filed in by Jennifer Griffith and Sarah Carver, who worked in the Social Security Administration office in Huntington, W.Va. The women say Conn conspired with Judge David Daugherty to funnel thousands of Conn's cases to Daugherty, who awarded disability benefits to people who didn't deserve them because their medical records were falsified.
Conn has denied any wrongdoing and hasn't been charged with a crime.
According to Tuesday's motion, government involvement is warranted in the whistleblower lawsuit because the public needs to be assured a taxpayer-funded program is administered with transparency.

Rancho Peñasquitos Redistricting boundaries are a serious matter to many residents and will determine who our City Council representative will be, and what communities we will be joined within our City Council district. Because of this, it is important that all our neighbors in 92129 take the time to review and fill out the survey below.
Once a decade, an independent City of San Diego Redistricting Commission is formed to lead San Diego’s effort to make sure the City’s nine elective council districts are balanced by population and reflect recent demographic changes. The SDRC holds public monthly meetings on the 3rd Thursday of the month via ZOOM open to the public. Community comments must be submitted the day before the meetings.
This City of San Diego’s ReDistricting Commission will create new evenly balanced boundaries for each of the city of San Diego council districts based on the 2020 U.S. Census plus community input received.
In 2011. Rancho Penasquitos (RP) was split by the last Redistricting Commission into two City Council districts – the 5th and 6th Council districts. The 5th District is comprised of that area of RP north of Adlophia and includes the PUSD communities of Rancho Bernardo, Carmel Mountain Ranch, Black Mountain Ranch, and Sabre Springs. The area of RP in the 6th District includes the Park Village neighborhood and areas along Aldolphia and south along Kestrel.
RP RESIDENT’S COMMUNITY REDISTRICTING SURVEY…This survey is intended to obtain the measure of the RP community as a whole with respect to satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the current City Council district boundaries, as well as a gauge of our community’s preferences regarding RPs favored district alignments with the neighboring communities. The survey results will be used to represent the interests of RP as a whole and no personal data will be transmitted in any form to anyone.

Dirty water calls routine, typically resolved that day
Dirty water complaints flow into the city's utility department about as regularly as a steady drip from a leaky pipe, but most cases are fully resolved within hours.
Still, that reality left the city in a difficult place last month when a routine dirty water complaint from the industrial district developed into a citywide water ban weeks later. Residents fumed over the city not notifying them of the issue sooner. The city crews that responded to dirty water complaints at the Valero property on Dec. 1 and Dec. 7 thought the issue had been resolved each time.
At-large City Councilwoman Paulette Guajardo, who was sworn into office days before the citywide water ban, doesn't fault the city staff for failing to raise the flag earlier, but said the situation showed a weakness in the process that can be improved.
"How do you ignore one and pay attention to the other (resolved complaint)," she said. "But we probably do need to talk about what protocol we should have with that kind of call (near industrial customers) versus one that’s clear across town and not a re-call."
The city receives between five and 10 complaints for dirty water every week, and about 95 percent of those are resolved the same day, said Gabriel Ramirez, the city's water quality supervisor.
"The main cause is there’s a main waterline break in the area," Ramirez said. "Sometimes there are internal issues with the water heater or water being trapped in the sink drains."
The calls don't particularly come from certain areas more than others, but calls from neighborhoods with cast iron pipes are more often caused by rust in the pipes, he added.
When a call is received, the city's goal is to respond within two hours. Once crews arrive, most cases are fixed within 30 minutes to two hours.
The process starts with collecting water samples from the property and nearby fire hydrants. Water quality tests are performed, and typically crews resort to flushing to fix the problem. During the flushing process, the city workers remove the customer's water meter so they're not billed for the service.
Ramirez said the city considers issues resolved if flushing the pipes produces clear, odorless water. He said discoloration to some degree is to be expected in an large, older system like Corpus Christi's.
"Any distribution system you’re going to have issues that happen," Ramirez said. "Of course, we'd like to have no dirty water, but sometimes you do have issues from maintenance from the system that lead to discoloration."
Carrie Robertson Meyer, a citizen activist from North Beach, said her family buys five-gallon jugs of water from Portland because they don't trust the city's system due to frequent water main failures around where they work and live.
"That affects the drinking water when it’s bubbling out and mixing with the ground in the area," she said.
Meyer attributes the city's woeful reputation in terms of poor water quality to years of not spending resources on keeping up with the water system.
"It is an infrastructure issue. They’re trying hard, but I think it’s a little too late," she said. "The council is on the right track on fixing the infrastructure, though."
For her part, Councilwoman Guajardo said the council's focus should include infrastructure spending, but also deal with immediate improvements to ordinances like the backflow preventer regulations discussed in council this week.
"The backflow preventer ordinance needs to be enforced," she said. "If that is being done, these dirty water calls’ risk to the city are minimal."

Last Two Hellsing Ultimate Episodes Make Their Way to Toonami
While Toonami originally announced that they wouldn’t be able to run the last two episodes of Hellsing Ultimate, it would seem that luck is on the programming block’s (and Hellsing Fans’) side as they have just acquired the last two episodes and are poised to run it next month as part of the block’s “Movie Month” event, which will also include Akira, Fullmetal Alchemist, The Sacred Star of Milos, Dragon Ball Z – Broly the Legendary Super Saiyan, and Eva 1.11/2.22.
The last two Hellsing Ultimate episodes are still in the standard OVA format, but it seems like Toonami’s planning to run them as feature films. It’s a great deal for people who want to finish Hellsing Ultimate on Toonami.

Mania Review: The Conjuring
Top tier demon possession film or more of the same?
By Chuck Francisco
July 19, 2013
Demonic possession is a problematic subdivision of the horror fold. An election winning majority of these movies deal with a malevolent entity which opposes the god of Abraham and his acolytes. Final confrontations typically entail a priest forcing out the demon with the help of bible passages and religious iconography. Director and horror film historian John Landis famously noted that as a non believer, none of these films scare him except for The Exorcist. Boiled down, the hearty stew of his statement becomes: "here is a film so good that despite my skepticism, I was frightened." Saw director James Wan has assembled a top tier demonic possession movie that (dare I say it) has a depth of fright which rivals The Exorcist.
Having gotten that bold proclamation out of the way (pick your stunned jaws up off the floor, I have a case to make), let's look at the puzzle pieces which combine to form this Voltronic spine tingler. The Conjuring does nearly everything right, but two elements prominently take center stage: the acting and the cinematography. Based on one of the case files of Ed and Lorraine Warren (the husband and wife demonic investigative pair most famous for their work on the tale behind The Amityville Horror), The Conjuring smartly broadens the focus beyond the family being terrorized to also include the investigators as well. This takes the film beyond being an Amityville knock off, but to avoid diluting the tale a strong quartet of acting talent is required. Vera Farmiga brings a lovely sense of purpose as Lorraine Warren, an emotionally wounded but selflessly dedicated medium, while Patrick Wilson is the far more practically grounded Ed Warren. These two characters love each other, and I don't mean in the way action movies try to convince us the leads have attraction through cheesy love scenes. Farmiga and Warren possess an inaudible longing for one another, transforming their characters into real people whom audiences will care about.
The Warrens would steal the show without a strong opposing pair to balance the scales. Playing Roger and Carolyn Perron are Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor. They're the working class parents of a veritable brood of girls, who move into a country house with a malicious history. Livingston puts in a solid performance, but it's Taylor who really earns her paycheck with comfortable grace and passionate resonance (and still more). The story wisely revolves around the parents and the investigators, rather than the children as so many modern possession films are wont to do. It's a refreshing break that will help set The Conjuring above the pack it runs with. Yet despite that, all five children are well cast and utilized in perfectly proportioned amounts, never overstaying their welcome.
Strong casting is only half of the work though. James Wan is no stranger to horror films, kicking off the blockbuster Saw franchise, reviving our deep seeded fear of dolls with the underrated (if slightly formulaic) Dead Silence, and blowing the doors off with 2010's surprise hit Insidious. Not wanting to mess with a good thing, Wan again teams with cinematographer John Leonetti (who filled the same roll for Insidious). This lucky stroke of brilliance led to a horror film which never settles into the rut of predictable camera movement. Instead the pair play three card monte with the audiences' expectations, constantly pulling out new visual configurations to both intrigue and unsettle. One early establishing tour through the house takes the form of a nearly sixty second unbroken shot. Moving from room to room, swooping around to change direction, it's incredibly reminiscent of the opening to tour of Serenity. By taking this approach, the audience has now been given an unrestricted look at the whole house, which lulls them into a very vulnerable feeling of false security (making the scares more heart pounding by comparison).
What form the scares come in run the gamut, at once indulging in a few well placed jump startles, yet at the same time working hard to stroke the kitten of the long dread. There are frights packed in for both sensibilities, but The Conjuring leans far more heavily on creating a sense of panic through atmosphere and looming unknown. Missing nearly entirely is messy, slapdash gore. What is present takes the form of gnarly, deformed faces and gashes to the afflicted. This all serves to make the scant blood far more shocking when it shows up. Most importantly of all, this is a horror film which is actually frightening, an incredibly rare sight as of late.
There are a few minor issues with The Conjuring which are worth noting. The most glaring is a pacing dead spot right around the middle of the film. It's noticeable, drawing more attention to itself because the surrounding film is vastly superior to it. This doesn't ruin the film, nor does it last all that long, but it was evident. Clocking in at an unusually long (for a horror film) 112 minutes, there's an entire subplot which could have reasonably been excised to tighten the film up, but the wealth of content perhaps makes this film more than its contemporaries. One very fascinating structural choice was to start the film at the climax of one of the Warren's other cases', in very much the same way a James Bond or Indiana Jones movie begins. This goes a long way toward establishing the story as simply another supernatural adventure from among a long line of them for this husband and wife demonic tag team.
This is the best horror film of 2013 so far, harkening back to the implied, unknown menace which was quite common of horror films leading into the early 70's (the time in which it's set). The Conjuring occupies a dimension of nightmare right between The Exorcist and The Amityville Horror, raising blood pressure and hair to the point where release is not only desired but severely coveted. If you're looking to actually be scared by a well produced demonic period piece, with great performances and camera work, look no further; James Wan's newest movie has got you covered.

The national Be Clear On Cancer campaign will run for nine weeks through television, radio and newspaper adverts, costing £8.5m.
The public will be advised to speak to their GP as soon as possible if they have had blood in their 'poo' or looser stools for three weeks or more.
The NHS has been gearing up for the 15,000 extra colonoscopies expected across England, equating to around an extra 100 per average NHS trust.
An average-sized GP practice should expect around one extra patient a week as a result of the campaign.
Last year, a pilot in the East of England and the south west saw a 32% increase in two-week wait colorectal referrals to secondary care over six months. Endoscopy referrals in some areas rose by 100%.
But charities have warned that endoscopy services are already 'over-stretched'. Bowel Cancer UK urged the DH and commissioners 'to invest in adequate endoscopy services and to enable GPs to make full use of them'.
Yorkshire GP Dr Nick Summerton, DH cancer adviser and RCGP clinical champion, had also warned that capacity for colonoscopy was already 'at its limit'.
Care services minister Paul Burstow said: 'No one likes talking about their poo – it’s embarrassing. But bowel cancer is the second biggest cancer killer so we need to get over the embarrassment and talk to someone about it.
'The Be Clear on Cancer campaign uses simple messages to make people aware of the key symptoms of bowel cancer and to give them the confidence to talk to their GP if they notice the symptoms.
'No matter how embarrassing it is, talking to your GP can help save your life.'
Dr Harpal Kumar, Cancer Research UK’s chief executive, said: 'Bowel cancer is currently the UK’s second biggest cancer killer. If people respond to this campaign – and take up bowel screening when invited to do so – we have a chance of pushing bowel cancer well down the league table of killers.'
Mark Flannagan, chief executive of Beating Bowel Cancer, said: 'Bowel cancer can be beaten if diagnosed early. Most changes in bowel habits probably won’t be cancer but if they are it is much better to be diagnosed and treated as quickly as possible.'
Currently around 40,000 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer in the UK, and 16,000 die from the disease.

For years, engineers have had their eyes on terahertz radiation–a band of radio waves that could be used to capture images as clear as x-rays without the harmful radiation, and that could be used in short-range, ultrafast wireless communication. But terahertz applications remain few because scientists haven’t yet developed all the tools needed to modify and otherwise control the waves. Now, researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Boston College, and Boston University have built a device–similar to a tuning dial on a radio–that could finally help make terahertz radiation practical.
“Terahertz is the last spectrum band to be explored,” says Hou-Tong Chen, a physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory and lead researcher on the project. It has great promise as a security-imaging tool because its frequencies, which range from 300 gigahertz to 3 terahertz, easily pass through clothes but reflect off biological tissue. And since the waves don’t have the energy that x-rays do, they don’t pose the health risks. In addition, terahertz waves oscillate much faster than microwaves used in Wi-Fi do, which means that they can carry thousands of times more information than today’s wireless signals can, albeit over shorter distances.
In 2006, Chen and his colleagues developed a terahertz amplifier made of metamaterials, specially designed materials whose periodic structures affect incoming radiation. And other researchers have made filters out of metamaterials that pick out specific frequencies. Such filters are crucial to, say, encoding information on a certain terahertz frequency. But the problem with these structures is that once they are designed and built, the frequency is set. And that means that in order to access a range of frequencies, separate filters need to be built and assembled, which could be costly and lead to bulky terahertz devices.
Chen’s recent work, published in Nature Photonics, expands the usable frequency range of the structure, essentially adding a tuning knob to the material. The trick, he says, is to integrate silicon strips into the structure. The electronic properties of these strips can be modified on the fly, so that they change the overall properties of the metamaterial, and thereby change the frequency of terahertz radiation that passes through.
Chen began with the same basic premise he used to make a terahertz filter: build an array of metal structures, such as squares or rectangles, on a flat surface. These structures must be much smaller than the wavelength of the incoming radiation in order to affect it; in this case, he built squares with sides 37 micrometers long. When terahertz radiation hits a flat surface with these metal squares, its electromagnetic field interacts with the electrons in the metal, “feeling the inductance and capacitance of the little metal structures,” says Daniel Mittleman, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Rice University, who’s not associated with the work. Depending on the inductance (the electric force around the structure) and the capacitance (the amount of electric charge the structure can hold), the incoming broadband terahertz radiation is filtered at a narrow frequency.
But in order to tune to different frequencies, either the capacitance or inductance needs to change. So, as a first attempt, Chen adds silicon to the metal squares to change the capacitance of the structure. Silicon is responsive to light, so when Chen shines a near-infrared laser onto the strips, their capacitance changes, which selects a specific frequency from the incoming terahertz light. By adjusting the power from the infrared laser, Chen was able to tune in to specific frequencies from 850 gigahertz to 1.06 terahertz.
While Chen’s recent work is important for tuning across a range of terahertz frequencies, bringing it closer to a practical application, his approach could also be used for other frequencies. “What’s interesting here is, the way they’ve chosen to achieve [tunability] is versatile,” he says. The same approach of adding silicon strips could be used for devices at different wavelengths, including microwave and optical frequencies. While there are already devices that can tune across these, a tunable metamaterial is of interest to researchers for several reasons. Metamaterials are able to perform bizarre feats: lenses made of metamaterials can focus light tighter than conventional lenses can, and metamaterials have even been used to make a rudimentary cloaking device. A tunable metamaterial for many different wavelengths could expand the potential of these early applications.
Chen says that his next step is to tune the filter using electrical current instead of optical laser pulses. While it was more straightforward to change silicon’s properties by shining light on it, it’s ultimately more practical to use an electric current in an imaging system or wireless device.

Madagascar: African Development Bank launches digital platform to drive business linkages
The African Development Bank on 14 September 2023 launched a digital platform in Madagascar to help drive business linkages in the island country southeast of Africa.
The Mada Business Linkage(link is external) is a B2B digital platform that interconnects registered businesses operating in Madagascar. Launched in the capital, Antananarivo, It targets companies looking for suppliers or subcontractors and gives visibility to firms seeking business partnerships.
Between now and early 2024, Malagasy companies will register and use the platform to showcase themselves to others on the network at no cost. They can also use the platform to tap data on targeted businesses and offer collaboration. After this period, the platform will be self-financed from annual subscription fees from its members.
The Mada Business Linkage is part of the small and medium-sized (SME) Business Linkage Program(link is external) initiated by the African Development Bank. Covering all sectors of the economy, the programme will help drive the growth of SMEs, promote large-scale economic development and create better employment opportunities for women and young people in key sectors. The Bank funded the Madagascar SME Business Linkage Program with $1.4 million
“This business linkage development programme is an innovative mechanism in that SMEs now have the means to respond to opportunities offered by large companies and expressed through the online platform,” said Adam Amoumoun, African Development Bank Country Manager in Madagascar.

Champions League game between Marseille and Manchester City got off to a slightly weird start as the home side chose not to take the knee before kick-off.
It has become customary in football matches for all the players and staff to take the knee as part of the silent protest against racial discrimination.
This is not the first time Marseille has been involved in a racial controversy as PSG star Neymar had alleged that he was the victim of racist abuse by Marseille defender Alvaro Gonzalez in a Ligue 1 fixture last month.
Check out the incident before kick-off at Stade Velodrome today –
Wtf is this? I swear this is the team that defended Alvaro after he racially abused Neymar last month? pic.twitter.com/BUMSRDpevT— Sam CFC (@ChelsMentality) October 27, 2020

3d visualization of the kitchen
To your attention: 3d visualization of the kitchen. This 3D visualization of the kitchen was done for Sergio Sport magazine. Our work is 3D modeling and 3D visualization of any objects – from industrial to art objects, sculptures, furniture elements.
For this 3D visualization, the basic concept of kitchen design was developed with exclusive chairs in the form of a bottle cork by Manuel Welsky, a Salomonsen design shelf where clay absorbs excess water from watering seedlings and the cocoon shelf always stays cool, a wine cabinet from Le Futur with a special display showing humidity and temperature, a collection of knives from Ad Hoc Premium from Del Ben.
All these elements are displayed on a 3D visualization of the kitchen.
And this is very important – to show all the details on 3D visualization, because without them the view of the kitchen will be different, or just empty and most importantly not the same as it will be after you settle down and acquire accessories.
3d visualization of the kitchen allows you to see its internal content, think over the functional part of the kitchen, how you will use it.

Sustainability thought leaders around the world are changing the way we perceive infrastructure – the service mechanisms and underlying hardware that serve our communities every day. These systems supply clean water, power up our homes and businesses, enable safe travel, remove waste, facilitate communication, connect us to the internet, and much more. In short, they drastically improve our quality of life.
About the Expert:
Dan Sydow, PE, is Structural Engineering Group Manager of Ayres’ Midwest Transportation division. He has designed hundreds of bridge replacements and rehabilitations in nearly all Wisconsin counties and in 10 states, including project management of the 2018 Grand Avenue pedestrian bridge rehabilitation.
What to do, however, with aging or obsolete infrastructure? That question is the focus of resourceful engineers, civic leaders, and urban planners who are opening eyes to new possibilities. Telephone booths, scaffolding, billboards, parking meters, light fixtures, and more are being repurposed to better serve current wants and needs, as reported by Smart Cities Dive.
Thinking well beyond the infrastructure’s original purpose, these visionaries bring hefty doses of creativity and innovation to their work, pondering open-ended considerations like, “What could this surface become?” or “How might this structure be used?”
In the case of a 100-year-old pedestrian bridge in Eau Claire, WI, city officials could see the structure’s potential to serve an enhanced role as an outdoor community space, a downtown destination in and of itself. They pictured the bridge as a place where commuters could pause for exceptional views, a welcoming venue for guests to participate in special events, festivals, and other public gatherings.
To achieve these functional and aesthetic goals while preserving an irreplaceable historic landmark, in 2018 Ayres conducted detailed evaluations to ensure that existing features, including massive limestone piers and steel girders, could be safely incorporated into the rehabilitated bridge. Their findings confirmed these elements were sound, requiring only minor maintenance to continue providing the structure with reliable support and save costs for the City.
The design team also performed specialized analysis of strength and vibration dampening contributions from the steel girders, concrete deck, and concrete parapets. The City reviewed detailed comparisons of bridge capacity and user comfort at various width and railing configurations, and collaboratively chose the new design which replaces and widens the deck by 20 percent.
New overhead and underdeck lighting now lend color and motion while improving security. Painted steel railings convey distinct downtown style and provide a seamless transition into Eau Claire’s downtown business area. Six overlooks invite pedestrians to enjoy the Chippewa River from a unique vantage point that also frames Phoenix Park, Haymarket Landing, and the regional arts center – Pablo Center at the Confluence.
In addition, the bridge has been successfully transformed into an ideal spot for community gatherings, including “A Grand Evening on the Bridge,” an elegant local fundraiser with music, drinks, and dining that supports continuation of free downtown entertainment throughout the year.
Honored with a 2020 Engineering Excellence Best of State Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies of Wisconsin, the rehabilitated Grand Avenue pedestrian bridge is an outstanding balance of performance, practicality, aesthetics, and historic preservation. With old and new features blended into a cohesive design, the bridge is not only a steadfast means to cross the river, but also a beautiful outdoor space that invites commuters to stay awhile, to appreciate the good things downtown has to offer, and to build community on the bridge.

So none of you are ever going to see these guys. There’s a good deal of equipment on the roof of the restaurant. It might not be exciting on first glance, but you’re likely getting to know my interest in systems. All this stuff, water, waste, energy, we take for granted in our daily lives, which is nice in a way…
… but this is how we use energy, these are how our actions impact our world.
In this picture you can see two “5-ton” HVAC units. Cafco believed I needed a total of “15-tons.” Our landlord was willing to pay for a total of “10 tons.” We have “10-tons.”
I have no idea why these things are rated in “tons.” Just makes no sense at all to me, but I know that’s how they are referred to.
Joining these guys we have a “make-up air” unit for the hood (which provides fresh air to “make up” for the air the hood sucks out of the space). We have an exhaust system for the hood. We have exhaust for the bathrooms. And we have the condenser for the walk-in.
