Buyer’s guide to curtains, blinds in Melbourne
Buyer’s guide to curtains, blinds
The right window preparations frame a view, sunlight and filter breeze and provide privacy when needed.
Whether you prefer heavy curtains or soft candles that float in the breeze, “Curtains can be used to frame a room’s window layer or add warmth, movement, and texture,” says Paul Hecker, director Hecker Guthrie. Traditionally kept in the rooms and formal living rooms, there is a growing trend for pure motorized curtains and open spaces. Most knowledgeable style owners also cover muted colors and popular floral prints and inspirations. “We’re going to see a change in the” beautiful “fabric and a sweetness away from minimalism,” says Toby Gray, BQ Design Director. Organic gray tones now offer a modern upgrade of cream and white, rich colors and can be introduced to complement the room color palette. The only rule? “The curtains should always touch the floor,” Paul said.
The sun, moisture, and pollutants all curtains damage. However, most wear is the result of tissue manipulation. Bars and sticks do not straighten hands, while quality coatings help reduce fading. In the case of doubt as to the washing requirements, they always have their professional cleaning curtains.
Sustainability, traditional craftsmanship and modeling and color blending were key textile trends that emerged during this influential year to live Heimtexil in Germany. Expect to see more ethnic influences and natural imperfections on the fabrics and a change of curtains as a design device, not just a decorative element. “Previous trends for curtains are concentrated in them is a feature in space, either by bold fabric or heavy treatment,” says Andrea D’Cruz, director of RLD. “The apparent trend now is its use as a tool to improve the design space and the views beyond.” , Open plan living, dining and contemporary kitchen areas “may look fantastic, with a sheer curtain to smooth the connection between the interior and exterior,” agreed interior designer Fiona Lynch Lynch Doherty.
The eco-conscious can choose natural fabrics like linen, cotton, and bamboo, or collections such as Green Dreams of Crowson Monkwell, made from recycled fibers. The new generation of PVC-free polyesters, such as “Trevira CS”, used in many Création Baumann curtains, requires less water for fabrication and can last three times longer.
Carnations. With a selection of rings, nickel-plated brass, brass or antique, which are ideal for lightweight fabrics. One of the main advantages of buttonholes is the piles of fabric back to leave most of the view.
Soft and relaxed. “I prefer to take a casual approach to the game curtains, so we avoid folding the tape,” says Paul Hecker. The result is a fresh and modern finish, the curtain seems to cover naturally.
Fitted wardrobes. Actually integrated into the architecture of a room, recessed panels hide curtain rails in the ceiling space for a simple finish.
Translucent blinds to Roman and Venetian wood, lasting beauty blinds is your ability to control light – and disappear as needed. “Blinds are an excellent solution to achieve light control with minimal design impact,” says Andrea D’Cruz. A less formal style of window treatment, they tend to be relegated to areas of the family where the lock styles of UV protection daily and the addition of night insulation. The roller or motorized sliding panel can also be easily controlled over large areas. While transparent styles spread the light without losing sight of it, in winter, “The most important thing is to make a comfortable large room,” Paul Hecker, who often covers blinds behind the curtains. Prefers soft Roman curtains, which can be rough, textured or glued with a locking fabric.
Design with blinds
Simplified side design, the main attraction of the vision blinds is its ability to block heat and glare. “One of the biggest problems in the interior of Australia is disappearing,” says Paul Hecker. “Blinds offer protection from the sun.” The wide styles are good for open spaces like blinds or curtains lined rollers. They are also good in small rooms, since, “They make the room look bigger,” says Shana Buchanan Bayliss blinds manufactured by Bayliss. “Above the window frames, blinds are the window look bigger, and above the folding doors, they are out of the way.
In line with global textile trends, organic textures are great news in blind design. “We see a swing away from more technical fabrics – which tend to lack character and can have a flat appearance – for fabrics that have interesting textures,” says Jennifer Elmer of Designed Shutters Australia. “There is also a tendency to” go back to nature “with linen and soft fabrics in the neutral color ranges.” Stronger color blinds are also on the radar. “We are doing an agricultural project and we choose a blind fabric in the rooms that is black on both sides,” says Fiona Lynch. The Japanese continue to lead the world in blind technology, systems such as the individual Venetian lanyard, blind ‘day and night’ blinds and the motorization of timers and solar collectors in development. Ecological shutters also expand more and more.
Most stores do not respond well to water or chemical solvents. Instead, dust regularly and then clean the stains. Roman curtains, roller, vision blinds and cellular can all be vacuumed – use a soft brush attachment and be careful not to stretch or pull the fabric. Venetians rarely need more than a cloth with a soft microfiber cloth.

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy ordered cuts to overtime for USPS workers last summer, according to a memo sent to Republican Senate staff and obtained by CREW in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. DeJoy denied under oath that he was the one who ordered the cuts during congressional testimony last August.
The memo—which was attached to an August 18, 2020 email from Republican Senate staff to a top aide in the Treasury Department—includes a section titled “USPS Operational ‘Shift’ to Reduce Exorbitant Overtime.” The section discusses “the recent plan put forth by the Postmaster General (PMG) to reduce overtime.” This statement appears to directly contradict DeJoy’s testimony before the House Oversight Committee on August 24, 2020, in which he insisted “I did not direct the elimination or any cutback in overtime.”
DeJoy’s denial was puzzling given the widespread understanding at the time that he personally ordered the overtime cuts. Senator Ron Johnson gave DeJoy credit for the cuts during an August 21 Senate hearing. And as CNN reported last year, a July 2020 USPS directive issued during DeJoy’s tenure “directly led to a significant majority of overtime opportunities being eliminated and prevented.” It’s unclear how this directive “could have been implemented without [DeJoy’s] knowledge or approval” given his role as “chief executive over the entire USPS,” CNN noted. The newly-disclosed memo shows that Republican Senate staff understood that DeJoy had in fact ordered the overtime reduction.
Under DeJoy’s overtime reduction plan, “letter carriers will start their route on time and leave behind any mail that has not yet been processed,” the memo says. To justify the plan, the memo cites a USPS Inspector General blog post from June 2019, which relied on USPS data from 2018 that long predated the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Republican’s memo also optimistically projected that DeJoy’s plan would result in “some mail” being “delayed by one day.” This was likely an extreme underestimate. During the spring and early summer of 2020, before DeJoy was appointed, on-time rates for USPS packages averaged around 92%. After he became postmaster general and implemented his cuts, on-time rates plunged by around 10%. Even in late January 2021, DeJoy’s changes were still causing mail backlogs from the holiday rush.
The memo blamed USPS’s “operational challenges” and “service delays” in the spring and summer of 2020 on “postal workers taking the paid leave granted in the COVID Phase 2 bill.” It insisted, without evidence, that these challenges and delays were “separate from” DeJoy’s overtime reduction plan.
DeJoy’s push to reduce frontline workers’ overtime came during a time of surging revenues and consumer demand at USPS. Citing a “substantial increase in package volume” due to the pandemic, the memo notes that USPS revenues from March through August 2020 reached $28.5 billion, a nearly $1.4 billion increase over the same period in 2019. “This is reflected in USPS’s $15 billion ‘cash on hand,’” the “highest in the history of USPS,” the memo adds.
DeJoy’s plot to overhaul USPS remains ongoing. Despite the agency reporting its first quarterly profit in years earlier this month, DeJoy’s outlook continues to be bleak. “While our positive financial results this quarter are certainly welcome, we continue to face systemic imbalances that make our current operating model unsustainable,” DeJoy said in a statement. In a February 17, 2021 letter to DeJoy, 34 senators questioned whether his “decisions and directives continue to hinder mail delivery,” and noted continued reports of “concerning practices” including “management rejecting most overtime requests.”
Given his substantial financial conflicts relating to USPS, DeJoy’s apparent sabotage of the agency deserves close scrutiny. And his potential lack of candor in testimony before Congress gives further cause for concern. If DeJoy is pushing for more cuts at USPS, he should have no problem saying so to Congress and the American people.

SYDNEY (MarketWatch) — Australian retail sales declined in October, data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed Thursday, marking the second piece of disappointing data on the economy in as many days.
Retail sales fell 1.1% in October on a seasonally-adjusted basis, a turnaround from the previous month when sales rose 0.1%.
Economists had been expecting retail sales to strengthen in October and show a rise of 0.4%.
Sales at cafes, restaurants, and take-away food chains took the biggest hit, the ABS data showed, dropping 4.8%.
Clothing, footwear and personal accessory retailing stores didn’t fare much better, with a 4.6% decline. Sales at other retailing outlets fell 2% while sales at department stores dropped 1.1%.
Partially offsetting that weakness, sales at food retailing outlets rose 0.6%, while sales for household goods were up 0.5%, the ABS said.
“The consumer’s wallet remained firmly in their pocket in October, potentially with weather and less buoyant eating out key areas of weakness,” said economists at UBS.
“The year-on-year pace has collapsed from a not very impressive 4% to just 2.2%, now more in line with the weak anecdotes from the retailers,” said the UBS economists.
Shares of retailers were mostly higher, paring steep year-to-date losses for most firms, as the retail sales data combined with Wednesday’s poor GDP data is likely to keep interest-rate hike expectations in check.
Shares of department store operator David Jones Ltd. (DJS) rose 0.9%, with year-to-date losses at 18.3%; electrical products and furniture retailer Harvey Norman Holdings Ltd. (HVN) shares were up 1%, bringing year-to-date losses to 28.7%; and electrical products and entertainment retailer JB Hi-Fi Ltd. (JBH) shares were up 0.9%, shaving year-to-date losses to 17.9%. Myer Holdings Ltd. (MYR), another department store operator, traded flat, with year-to-date losses at 1.7%.
“If the Reserve Bank needed any more reason to leave rates alone, then this is it,” said CommSec economists.
“The GDP figures have highlighted that the economy is barely growing and the weak retail sales data suggests household consumption didn’t start the December quarter in a great fashion,” they said.
Dominic Bryant, senior Asia economist at BNP Paribas, said “financial and monetary conditions may well be a downside risk to growth in Australia. What we saw yesterday in the GDP figures may be an early sign that the downside risks are crystallizing.”
“Possibly there are downside risks to my RBA forecasts,” he said. At the moment, he’s expecting the Reserve Bank of Australia to lift interest rates to 5.25% by the end of next year.
“I would still be a little cautious about the global environment and would still be watching financial and monetary conditions very closely.,” he added.

In 2017, Asia Pacific accounted for 46% of the market, Europe Middle East and Africa accounted for 30%, and the Americas accounted for 23%. Asia Pacific: Chinese and Indian Governments Take Incentives to Promote Growth.
The Asia Pacific region holds the largest market share. This is mainly due to the promotion of energy-saving lamps in countries such as India and China. In addition, China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan have many LED chips and packaging plants.
The Indian government is focused on developing smart cities and aims to build at least 100 smart cities by 2030. Unlike conventional streetlights, solar-powered LEDs are extremely cost-effective because they do not require connection to the grid and are feasible in sunny countries and are ideal for off-grid use. Even after dark, solar street lights in remote areas can still operate normally, which will improve the living standards of local people. These factors will prompt 1000 villages to actively install solar LED street lights. Many villages in India, China and Africa have installed solar LED street lights.
Europe, the Middle East and Africa: The potential for growth in the solar street light market in Africa is huge
In 2017, Europe was the second largest revenue contributor to the global solar street lighting market. The market is mainly driven by the government's energy efficiency and renewable energy goals, which in turn has led to the installation of European solar street lights. In the UK, street lamps account for about 40% of energy consumption. Therefore, government authorities combine solar energy and LED lamps. This program helps reduce CO2 emissions while saving energy costs. Philips has launched a solar street light product that will help transform traditional lighting used in energy-saving street lighting systems.
Southern Europe and the Middle East are sunny and can be used off-grid systems.
The Egyptian government is installing solar street lights to reduce the load on the grid. Many parts of Africa still rely on traditional lighting. Several cities in the region have installed solar street lighting systems, which have improved the social and economic conditions of rural and urban populations.
Americas: Brazil and the United States have the highest demand for solar street lights
The U.S. government vigorously promotes the energy conservation industry The cost of LEDs and solar panels has declined, improving performance and driving the installation of solar street lights in the United States. In 2017, Las Vegas partnered with EnGoPLANET, a New York company, to install solar street lights to change traditional energy sources and use renewable and renewable energy sources.
Although the United States dominates the solar street light market in North America, Brazil is a leader in the solar street light market in South America.
Brazil has invested heavily in LED street lights since 2013. Brazil’s R20Hub is a leading large-scale LED street lighting solution that aims to cover 1.5 million streetlights in 13 cities across the country to reduce grid stress.
From 2016 to 2020, the global solar street light market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 19%. The global solar street lamp market is subdivided into two products, fluorescent lamps and LED lamps. At present, the market is dominated by fluorescent lamps, with a market share of 62%.
The rapid growth of the solar street lamp market is mainly to meet the growing needs, reduce the power consumption of street lamps, and protect the safety of residents and pedestrians.

The beating heart of this new kind of animal is a lightweight 850cc 3-cylinder engine that kicks out a wide band of raw, linear torque giving outstanding acceleration that gets your adrenaline flowing.
And for agile handling this dynamic new naked motard-style bike is equipped with a compact aluminium chassis and upright riding position that make light work of everything – from weekday urban riding through to Sunday morning blasts.
Light and compact Raw and linear torque output Slim and lightweight CF die-cast aluminium frame Asymmetric CF die-cast aluminium swingarm Monocross rear suspension with horizontal shock Refined ergonomics “full-control” riding position YCC-T and D-MODE electronic control systems 298mm floating front discs radialmount calipers All-new lightweight 10-spoke alloy wheels
The next generation sport bike
When we set out to develop the MT-09 our goal was to create a new kind of sport bike with three key elements that would set it apart from other models.
First of all we wanted a new kind of engine developing strong and exciting torque. The chassis had to be compact and slim. And this next generation sport bike would need a unique character that would make every ride special.
With its 850cc 3-cylinder engine, the new MT-09 produces remarkable levels of linear torque that redefine sport riding. The lightweight aluminium chassis is agile and easy to handle. And the naked bodywork with wide handlebars and flat seat gives confidence and control.
Compact and lightweight 850cc 3-cylinder engine
To keep the MT-09 as light, slim and compact as possible, our designers have developed an all-new CF aluminium die-cast frame. Its low weight and excellent rigidity balance contribute towards the bike’s agile handling performance, and help to keep the overall wet weight down to just 188kg.
Monocross suspension with asymmetric CF die-cast swingarm The rear end features a lightweight asymmetric CF die-cast swingarm that gives a low unsprung weight for responsive suspension action and a comfortable ride. An almost horizontal rear shock is situated beneath the seat, and the externally mounted swingarm pivots keep the chassis slim for a compact riding position.
Stress-free ergonomics and a ’slim-fit’ riding position The new MT-09 is designed to handle a variety of roles, from sport riding through to weekend trips and the daily ride to work. Wide, tapered handlebars and a long, flat seat give stress-free ergonomics – and the sculpted 14-litre fuel tank with knee recesses ensures a comfortable ’slim-fit’ riding position.
Concealed 3-into-1 exhaust Equipped with connecting pipes for a good pulse effect, the compact 3-into-1 exhaust system contributes towards mass-centralisation for agile handling.
Featuring a corrosion-proof Nanofilm coating, the three stainless steel downpipes run into a short and compact EU3-compliant muffler which emits a throaty note.
New style lightweight 10-spoke alloy wheels with 17-inch radial tyres
Lightweight designs are used throughout, and to achieve a low unsprung weight the MT-09 is fitted with all-new 10-spoke alloy wheels. The lightweight wheels are fitted with newly-developed radial tyres – 120/70ZR17 at the front and 180/55ZR17 at the rear – giving stable and responsive handling.

Worth the walk
What are the Noosa The Fairy Pools? They are two naturally formed tidal pools just west of the headland at the eastern end of Granite Bay, near Noosa. The smaller pool is only visible low tide but the larger one may still be usable at high tide when the swell is smaller and fewer waves crash over the rocks to refill the pool.
What to do?
- Add to your Instagram credibility
- Snorkelling is possible if the sea is gentle or the tide is low, so bring a snorkel and mask and you might be able to fest your eyes with coral and sponges.
- Jump in the deep section of the larger pool (but take caution as there are submerged rocks).
When to go?
Low tide is your best bet, but anytime of the year when the sea is not too rough.
How To Get There:
The pools are within the Noosa National park and can be accessed from Noosa Heads Noosa National Park Car Park (40 Minutes) or Sunshine Beach (1 hour)
Noosa Heads: From National Car Park walk around the coastal path past Tea Tree Bay and Granite Bay. The pools are accessed by making your way down the rocks from the lookout on the point at the far eastern end of Granite Bay after you have passed both Winch Cove and Picnic Cove but before the big bend in the track which goes around the point. Look out for a bench a few hundred metres after the Picnic Cove sign which marks the way down to the rocks.
From the Sunshine Beach side (entrances from The Esplanade or Parkedge Road ) See here for a map of the headland section of Noosa National Park.

Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald is at it again.
For the second straight week, Fitzgerald torched an opposing defense - this time the San Francisco 49ers. Fitzgerald racked up nine catches for 134 yards and two touchdowns.
Fitzgerald is now on pace for some ridiculous 2015 season numbers (123 receptions, 1,776 yards and 27 touchdowns).
While Fitz is sure to slow down at some point, his performance so far thus year has been somewhat of a surprise considering that many had pegged John Brown and Michael Floyd to take over as the Cardinals' top wide receivers.
Fitzgerald, however, has other ideas and similar to other players surging late in their career (aka Tom Brady) Fitzgerald appears to have plenty of gas left in the tank.
The re-emergence of Fitzgerald provides QB Carson Palmer with three superb weapons on the perimeter (along with Brown and Floyd) and a surprisingly productive running game has also helped the cause.
If all facets of the Cardinals offense can keep this up, it could be a special season in Arizona.

|Newly remastered definitive edition of classic 1976 album
Format: CD / Cat No: ECLEC2422 / Released: 25/11/2013
Track Listing: 1. PULSTAR / 2. FREEFALL / 3. MARE TRANQUILLITATIS / 4. MAIN SEQUENCE / 5. SWORD OF ORION / 6. ALPHA / 7. NUCLEOGENESIS PART ONE / 8. NUCLEOGENESIS PART TWO / 9. ALBEDO 0.39
More information: NEWLY REMASTERED DEFINITIVE EDITION OF VANGELIS’ CLASSIC 1976 ALBUM
“ALBEDO 0.39” was VANGELIS’ second album to be released by RCA Records and was recorded at his personal studio in London, Nemo in 1976. This conceptual work, inspired by Space and Galactic Physics, took its name from the planet Earth’s albedo, (the proportion of the light a planet receives that is reflected back into outer space), as it was in 1976. The album was to feature the iconic “Pulstar” and saw VANGELIS push the perceived boundaries of the synthesizer as a musical instrument to new dimensions. In addition, VANGELIS played a wide variety of other instruments on this album.

With cars bouncing off each other like pinballs through two laps of overtime, AJ Allmendinger took his No. 16 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet three-wide to the bottom, passed Justin Allgaier and Austin Cindric on the final lap and won Friday night’s Food City 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway.
The victory gave Allmendinger the NASCAR Xfinity Series Regular Season Championship by 10 points over Cindric, who held the race lead when the 10th and final caution flag flew on Lap 297 of 300 after Allgaier turned JR Motorsports teammate Sam Mayer in Turn 1.
In the overtime, things got crazy. Cindric and Allgaier picked the top lane, and Allmendinger chose the inside of the front row. On the white-flag lap, Allmendinger drove hard into Turns 3 and 4 and slid up into Cindric’s No. 22 Team Penske Ford.
Allmendinger fell back to third, but contact between Allgaier’s Camaro and Cindric’s Mustang gave Allmendinger a chance to slip beneath both cars into the lead.
But the race wasn’t over. On the final lap, Cindric charged off the final corner, slammed into Allmendinger, and both cars slid sideways across the finish line, with Allmendinger the winner by .082 seconds.
After taking the checkered flag, Allmendinger careened off the inside wall, slid across the track into traffic and took a huge hit from Kaulig Racing teammate Justin Haley.
But the 2021 NASCAR Xfinity Series Regular Season Championship was his.
“I expected to get run into,” Allmendinger said. “It happened that previous corner. It’s frustrating getting hit that hard coming to checker, but we’re battling for the win. It’s Bristol, baby. That’s what it’s all about.
“I haven’t had a lot of chances to get a win at Bristol, so you know what? When you have a chance to do it, you’ve got to go do it. If I don’t take that chance, I don’t belong in a race car, because my team deserves the win.”
Under the circumstances, Cindric exhibited remarkable restraint in his post-race interview.
“I thought we had a great battle all season long up to this point, so congratulations to Kaulig and AJ,” said Cindric, who led 75 laps, third-most behind Allgaier’s 92 and Daniel Hemric’s 78. “Those guys didn’t want us to win really bad, and I hate that it completely destroyed our Ford Mustang.
“That’s all I’ve got, man… It’s looks like the 7 (Allgaier) just got loose there (in spinning Mayer), and AJ obviously just drove straight through us. You’ll have that in green-white-checkered racing.”
The victory was Allmendinger’s first at Bristol, his fourth of the season and the ninth of his career. The final lap of overtime was the only lap he led, as the race went six laps past its scheduled distance of 300 circuits.
The regular-season cutoff race also set the final positions for the Round of 12 in the Xfinity Series Playoff. With no new winner, Brandon Jones, Riley Herbst and Jeremy Clements clinched the final three spots on points, as expected, as the series heads for the Playoff opener Sept. 25 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Herbst finished third behind the wrecking cars of Allmendinger and Cindric. Allgaier fell to fourth on the final lap, with Jones and Haley running fifth and sixth. Harrison Burton, Myatt Snider, Mayer and Hemric completed the top 10.

President Clinton and Senate Democrats are still fuming about the upper chamber's rejection of Missouri Judge Ronnie White's nomination to the federal bench on Oct. 5.
At least Mr. White got a floor vote. Other Clinton nominees have waited years. But Democrats did the same when they ran the Senate, for example, refusing to vote on scores of President Bush's nominees.
It's not just judges: Both parties play the same games over ambassadors and other presidential appointments, killing nominations behind the scenes with an arcane practice.
Both parties complain, but no one wants to give up the tool that allows it.
The problem is a Senate tradition that allows one member, or a small group, to block nominations or bills, many of which would easily be approved if they could ever reach the floor.
By Senate tradition, any member can place a "hold" on a bill or a nomination. Such a hold can block a nomination in committee or keep it off the floor after the committee has approved it.
The Senate appears alone among legislative bodies worldwide in allowing holds. No one's sure when the practice began, but it accelerated in the 1970s and became commonplace in the 1980s. During those years, Sen. Howard Metzenbaum (D) of Ohio so abused holds that Senate leaders had to consult his office before scheduling floor debate on legislation.
The public doesn't really know how much good legislation gets blocked by holds because they are rarely publicly revealed. Earlier this year Senate leaders banned anonymous holds, a faint recognition of the larger problem. Now senators must notify the committee chairman and their party leader if they place a hold on a nominee or a bill.
That's better, but it's not open enough. The Senate should at the least require that the source of a hold be publically identified in the Congressional Record. Better still, it should put a time limit on holds or end the obsolete practice.
It won't be easy, because senators are loath to end a system that gives individual members such extraordinary power. But the public must make it clear that it wants an end to such undemocratic practices unsuitable for a modern legislature.
Senators should vote nominations up or down, in committee and on the floor, and be willing to defend their positions.

It’s Friday evening, and I’m calling this work week officially done. I’ve been working on the (almost) final draft of a project that sort of feels like I’m writing a thesis. In general, I like to write – and I’m pretty quick about it most days. But sometimes in the office it’s hard to really hunker down and tune everything else out, so I’ve really had to push myself this week. I just sent the update along to the client, and now I’m heading into a (much needed) long weekend ahead. Here are a few thoughts on writing this week:
I realized last weekend that I was out of thank you notes, so I decided to order some photo cards from Artifact Uprising. I like their paper, and their site is really easy to use, plus you can just access your Instagram feed directly and I was looking for a casual feel (as opposed to the more polished, professional holiday cards). I thought I’d grab a festive holiday shot, but I wasn’t as inspired by the holly jolly anymore – maybe because my house is still overrun with holiday decorations in various stages of disassembly – so I kept searching backwards in my feed. And there was “Stubborn / Grumpy Panda”, and I dropped it in and sent my order along. It’s sort of weird, but I kind of love it too – especially with the big, bold THANKS – exclamation point !!! It makes me smile, so hopefully it will make others giggle too.
So I’m also writing thank you notes.
M and I used a shared Google spreadsheet this past holiday to organize and divide and conquer our gift giving list. It was his idea, but I latched onto it pretty quickly. I instituted a color scheme, and I highlighted items in process ‘yellow’ (ordered, ingredients purchased, project being made) and items done ‘green’ (delivered, completed, wrapped and ready). We had a side column that kept our to-do lists organized for how we were getting everything done, and it make tracking the status of various items a lot easier. Plus, it was a good double check when we were packing – we did leave town one year with all the wrapped gifts but none of the Santa gifts that were hidden away – that was a complete bummer. The system worked so well that I decided to start a new one with house projects. I’m kind of craving a long list that slowly turns green over time. Check, check, done. I need a little more ‘done’ in my life right now.
So I’m also writing elaborate to-do lists.
When my blog was down and lost for several days, I had a million ideas for posts I wanted to write. Now it has returned, and I’m too tired in the evenings to write anything. Maybe I need to make another spreadsheet for blog ideas, and then mark them off, one by one, with colored cells. January requires a whole new level of motivation, particularly on a cool, damp Friday night.
So now I’ve written this post as well.
Onto the weekend – I hope you have a nice one!

Though it was announced at E3 over a week ago, Ori‘s sequel may be one of the more important games coming to Xbox in 2019.
Ori and the Blind Forest is a stunning game, likely to hold up for years (and possibly gaming generations) to come. The gameplay has classic foundations, and the plot is engaging and heartfelt, worthy enough to stand on its own. But it’s the art direction itself that is perhaps the bigger story. The hand-painted feel of the game, built on high contrast and saturated colors, lighting and shadow, makes every scene a piece of artwork.
Will of the Wisps takes that same aesthetic and ratchets it up several notches. Where Blind Forest released early in the Xbox One’s lifespan, WotW capitalizes on the explosive growth of 4K video and HDR, and the Xbox One X’s powerful output to manage both. Eyes on, pixels are gone, replaced by brush strokes and glowing orbs, relying on depth of layers instead of rendering tricks.
Quite frankly, it looks and feels like the original vision for what Ori was meant to be all along, finally realized with the latest tech.
Ori and the Will of the Wisps will launch exclusively across Microsoft’s platforms in 2019, but the XBox One X might really be the only way to experience it in full.

Love the nail colour and I’m sure you’ll be among the top three and wouldn’t be surprised if you win. Either way you get to be published in the anthology I think don’t you? Well done for entering your competition yourself:)) I chose a few but often the time flies and I’ve missed the deadline.
I’m the same – plan to enter then don’t get anything written in time.

> 80% as determined by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining
Human HEK293 cells
Expression TrueORF Clone
REN Full-Length MS Protein Standard (NP_000528), Labeled with [U- 13C6, 15N4]-L-Arginine and [U- 13C6, 15N2]-L-Lysine, was produced in human 293 cells (HEK293) with fully chemically defined cell culture medium to obtain incorporation efficiency at Creative-Proteomics. Renin catalyzes the first step in the activation pathway of angiotensinogen--a cascade that can result in aldosterone release,vasoconstriction, and increase in blood pressure. Renin, an aspartyl protease, cleaves angiotensinogen to form angiotensin I, which is converted to angiotensin II by angiotensin I converting enzyme, an important regulator of blood pressure and electrolyte balance. Transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms and that arise from alternative splicing and the use of alternative promoters have been described, but their full-length nature has not been determined. Mutations in this gene have been shown to cause familial hyperproreninemia.

The rankings are great. The last 10 games can be a good measure. We all get caught up in trends. What's hot can be a distraction. There are times when being ignored and forgotten can be a good thing.
Since 1999, Gonzaga has rarely been out of the spotlight, and rarely overlooked. The Zags have become a "storm the court" game for West Coast Conference opponents, and that carries responsibility. Gonzaga has to be prepared for a fight every single game, no matter the opponent, and there is never a time when Gonzaga can sneak up on anyone. This year, after beating North Carolina, Washington and Texas, Gonzaga had a murderous schedule that the NBA would have frowned upon, taking on all comers away from home. Losses against Washington State, Nevada, Georgia, Virginia and Duke caused voters to tumble the Zags out of the Top 25 and into basketball obscurity.

It’s worth it. imo
Me, too. I did a review for it at my site. Always loved that movie. I wonder how it would have been had Tomas Milian played the unhinged priest?
Thanks…I will take a look. You have me thinking now re Milian ;).
Did Milian dub himself for the English release?
Hard to tell. The voice souds a bit like Milian, but on the other hand he speaks with almost no accent. Too little accent for Milian I guess.
Are there any clips available on the internet?
Could I get a link?
saw this yesterday and thought it very slow moving but not uninteresting and Tomas Milian’s character is a lot more interesting than Richard Wyler’s bland bounty hunter.some people have commented on the protracted death scene but i don’t think so it’s a very good scene, people don’t always die quickly from bullets, and the dribbling was a nice touch.some good moments and while not in my opinon a classic it is above average.
I think Wyler is one of those actors, that don’t really fit into a SW. He was quite OK, but I didn’t like him. Milian is far more charismatic and therefore Wyler is not so convincing in his goodie-part.
I’m aware of the fact, that this discrepance is part of the plot, but nevertheless Wyler is too colorless compared to Milian.
Wyler comes across as a little boring for me.
Yes, you could call him boring.
First prize in the most boring boukty hunter in the west competition.
The next western I will be watching stars Wyler…The Rattler Kid.

I’m repeating me, but instead of Wyler it would have been a perfect role for Lee van C.
That one is not that popular, but I like Klimovsky films. Not seen it myself.
Did not like it much last time I viewed, but just got a new widescreen copy so thought would give it another shot.
Rattler Kid or The Bounty Killer?
Just recently watched BOUNTY KILLER, and i agree with the general concensus that Wyler was a bit bland. Still, this was a solid SW with a fun story. My biggest complaint would be that Milians character wasn’t as formidable in the final scene as he had been throughout the movie. It seemed to be a bit too easy for Wyler and the townsfolk to take him out.
Fun Factor - 6/10

Do mountains matter? Today, 11 December, is International Mountain Day, celebrated worldwide since 2003. The fact that the UN General Assembly has designated such a day would suggest a simple answer. Yes – and particularly for the 915 million people who live in the mountain areas that cover 22 percent of the land area of our planet. These are the latest figures, published recently by the FAO and available soon on the website of the Mountain Partnership.
Mountains are clearly vital for those who gain their livelihoods from them, but in what ways are they important for the rest of us? From a global perspective, perhaps their greatest value is as ‘water towers’ – the sources of high-quality freshwater. Mountains supply more than half the global population with water for agriculture, domestic uses, and industry, often in places far from the mountains. The world’s largest irrigation system, in Pakistan’s Indus Basin, depends on mountain water; but so do the inhabitants of Los Angeles, supplied by water piped under the Sierra Nevada and across much of the state. Mountain water is also a source of renewable energy: hydropower, largely developed in many countries in Europe and in the United States, but with great potential for development in other parts of the world – though the social and environmental consequences of dam building, and decisions about who benefits are always complex.
Mountains are also global hotspots of biodiversity. For our growing global population, their foremost value is as centres of agrobiodiversity; the places where most of our major food crops originated. As with potatoes, introduced to Europe from the Andes in the late 16th century, crops that have not so far been widely grown outside the mountains may enable more mouths to be fed; demand for quinoa production, for instance, has grown 20-fold over the past decade. In addition, the genetic diversity of original varieties living in mountain areas may become ever more valuable as climate change progresses. Another aspect of mountain biodiversity is that a particularly high proportion of mountain plants and animals – from gorillas to pandas to edelweiss – are both iconic and endemic, limited in their distribution to very restricted areas. Some are threatened by hunting, the development of infrastructure, or climate change.
Yet they are also attractive to both TV viewers and tourists and, especially where local communities can find a way to channel a significant proportion of the income from tourism to support their livelihoods and societies, biodiversity can have both global and local benefits. This is also true for other mountain species, particularly mushrooms and medicinal herbs, which have global markets but should be sustainably harvested by local people who should then realise an equitable proportion of the eventual sale price, often in cities on another continent. Today, it is the middlemen who usually make most of the profit.
As now than more half of humankind now lives in urban areas – including many cities, some of them very large, in mountains – we increasingly recognise the benefits of mountain areas as places to escape to. Some people go to the mountains just at weekends, to hike, ski, climb, or just enjoy the scenery and high-quality food. Many of us spender longer holidays there, and others, sometimes known as ‘amenity migrants’, live in the mountains for an increasing part of the year just because that is where they want to be; not because their jobs are there. Such people are now found living in mountains in many parts of the world, from California to the Philippines to the Czech Republic. Both visitors and locals need good infrastructure – roads, internet access, and sometimes railways. As the climate warms at lower altitudes, mountains may become more important as places for escape.
Already, some of the clearest evidence of climate change comes from the mountains: shrinking glaciers and plants moving to ever-higher altitudes. Increased numbers of visitors to mountain areas may bring new economic opportunities, but at the same time, they will only be able to come if transport links remain safe and reliable. This will be a real challenge for many mountain communities in the future, as the numbers of heavy rainfalls and other extreme events increase, together with natural hazards such as avalanches, floods, and landslides. In the past, mountain people have been able to live in challenging environments particularly because they have worked together to build terraces and irrigation systems and to manage forests and pasture land.
If we recognise the global importance of mountain areas, this implies a greater need for stronger partnerships, involving not only mountain people but all of us who depend on the mountains in so many ways.

I started to not watch this movie based on the reviews but decided to give it a shot and was pleasantly surprised. Although the movie starts slow in the beginning it increasingly peaks your interest once the actually investigation begins. It has all the basic twists and turns as seen in thrillers and suspense movies. At first, it looks like a lower budgeted movie but once the dynamics of the characters come out, the movie is quite interested and keeps you on the edge of your seat playing detective yourself, and coming up with scenarios.
At first you wonder what the truth is behind the headaches of Jennifer Beals' character, then you are pleasantly surprised that she is not crazy but reluctantly to put her truth out there possible due to being judged and mocked. It's obvious throughout the movie, that although she is not well liked by her peers and is obviously and outcast, she does yield results in her cases (due to having an upper-hand). Awesome ending!!

from 1890 to 1930
The Company Milani was founded by Cav. Antonio Milani in 1890 for the production of agricultural machinery. Some patents, born from the genius of the founder, will revolutionize the food industry. They are still used in many sectors of this industry.
In the early 1900s the factory was transferred from Battaglia Terme to Conselve. The new spaces included all the processes of a modern engineering industry: foundry, carpentry, areas of assembly.
The railway reached new plants in order to be able to bring raw materials and to transport finished machinery. Houses for workers were also built, some of them still exist.
The transfer to Lucca
During World War II the plants were transferred to Lucca, because Conselve was too close to the front line. In these years, there were about 100 employees.
In 1920 after the conquest of Libya, Milani acquired a concession in Tripolitania where the company’s machinery and many fellow citizens worked to make the territories of the new colonies productive.
From 1930 to 1965
The sons of the late Founder, Knight Antonio and commaner Virgilio Milani, continued and worked developing the family industry. Despite the terrible crisis of 1929 and the new World War they built a new factory in the ’50s and modernized the existing facilities.
From 1965 until today
In 1965 Bruno Antonio, the nephew, took the lead of the company and developed many new patents.
In the early 2000s, a new and more suitable building for modern techniques was built.
Today, father and daughter are leading the company, the fourth generation of Milani Srl.
