Waking up to the news of yoga master, B.K.S. Iyengar’s, death is quite surreal. He taught yoga to thousands, was loved my thousands, and you might know him from his ” Light On” books (See below).
It’s interesting that I’ve never practiced Iyengar style yoga. Here in Orlando, there aren’t any studios that offer it. Strange with Orlando being a pretty decent sized city!
My first introduction to learning about Iyengar was during my Yoga Apprenticeship. His Guru was Krishnamacharya, who was also the Guru to Pattabhi Jois. We had to read an article called, 3 Gurus, 48 Questions. This article was an interview with Iyengar, Jois, and Desikachar since they all studied under Krishnamacharya. What was interesting about it was how they all studied under this one Guru, but developed different (although similar) yoga teaching and practice styles, yet the foundation of the teaching remains the same. It remains one of my favorite articles and I revisit often.
To honor his life and remember him today, I’m going to reproduce that for you right here:

[Tweet “Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured.” -B. K. S. Iyengar”]
A Few Books by B.K.S. Iyengar:
Light On Yoga
Light on Prananyama
As I finish my coffee this Wednesday morning, and make my way to the shala to begin my yoga practice, I contemplate on the present moment, how blessed I am to be able to share part of a lifetime with this lovely soul, and wish him a beautiful journey into enlightenment, whatever and whenever that may be.
Today I dedicate my practice to you, Mr. Iyengar.

After the uproar caused earlier this week regarding Instagram changing its terms of service to include that nasty little provision that allowed them to sell users’ photos without permission or compensation, they finally realized how many users they would lose if they actually enacted the new policies.
In a statement released today on the company’s blog, Instagram claimed that “legal language is easy to misinterpret,” offering the following clarification of Monday’s changes to their terms of service:
Our intention in updating the terms was to communicate that we’d like to experiment with innovative advertising that feels appropriate on Instagram. Instead it was interpreted by many that we were going to sell your photos to others without any compensation. This is not true and it is our mistake that this language is confusing.
As a result, they have reverted back to their old language regarding ad policies and ownership of photos remains with the users, not the company. Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom apologized to the public for the company’s “failure to communicate their intentions clearly.” The new section on users’ rights and advertising revenue now reads:
Some of the Service is supported by advertising revenue and may display advertisements and promotions, and you hereby agree that Instagram may place such advertising and promotions on the Service or on, about, or in conjunction with your Content. The manner, mode and extent of such advertising and promotions are subject to change without specific notice to you.
Compare this to the previous controversial terms listed in Monday’s changes:
Instagram does not claim ownership of any Content that you post on or through the service. Instead, you hereby grant to Instagram a non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, transferrable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to use the Content that you post on or through the service…To help us deliver interesting paid or sponsored content or promotions, you agree that a business or other entity may pay us to display your username, likeness, photos (along with any associated metadata), and/or actions you take, in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions, without any compensation to you.
As for the second part? Instagram dropped a giant bomb, and now they’re claiming they never dropped any bombs in the first place. It’s the media that took this completely out of context. Question: do you believe your users are really that stupid? Claiming that people took the above policy out of context is like Mitt Romney claiming that people took his “47% video” out of context. That excuse doesn’t work, and your intentions are completely transparent.
Instagram changed their terms because of the outrage, and they knew that if they still enacted the new terms of service on January 16, they would have an even more cataclysmic public relations disaster on their hands, not to mention the millions of people who would have deleted their Instagram accounts (or already did amongst the hype). Also, if you wanted to be “innovative” with creating new ads, you could have at least made it fun. Try holding a contest that users can voluntarily enroll in–people who want their photographic genius to be seen by the world. Best photo wins an ad deal, and winners actually get some type of cash reward from the company who’s paying you for ads (because the companies paying you are most likely multi-million dollar corporations, such as Facebook).
Hopefully other companies learn from Instagram’s decision, and we can all go back to posting vintage selfies and hipster food photos in peace.
You can read the reverted old terms of service (their 2010 version) here, now effective January 19, 2013.

Antique walking sticks are more than fashion accessories. These decorative pieces of fashion history display exquisite craftsmanship and can be quite valuable to collectors. The collection of vintage and antique canes and walking sticks for sale from Bidsquare served as personal objects with a rich history and a strong and loyal following. They are a reflection of the people who used them. Rather than an individual walking stick, collectors often buy a collection of walking sticks at our online auctions.
Some historians and collectors draw a distinction between the canes and the walking sticks by their materials, with the former being made from wood, bone, or ivory and the latter being made from bamboo and reed plants.
Antique Canes and Walking Sticks
Although a walking stick is often referred to as an item of a bygone era, the history of the ceremonial staff dates back as early as Egyptian times. In the early days, canes and walking sticks were designed for use as assistance during a long journey or to defend against potential attacks. It was fashionable for men to carry them in the early 17th century and there were rules of etiquette for carrying them. In fact, It was necessary to apply for special licensing in London by the early 18th Century to carry one, and its violation could result in losing the privilege. During the Victorian period, all manner of designs and finishes of walking sticks were created, including those from carved animal heads as well as provocative sticks that turned heads.
Vintage and antique walking sticks and canes still carry significant value at auctions. The auction at Bidsquare features decorative, weapons, and system canes and walking sticks of the finest quality available, including many that incorporate added features. The German vintage canes are highly sought after by collectors. Besides, affordable vintage walking sticks with hidden guns are also in high demand at auctions.
Quick Facts about Canes & Walking Sticks
- Some people in the 19th century used the walking stick instead of a sword as an accessory to dress.
- While walking sticks are a temporary device primarily used for stability and balance, walking canes function as mobility aids.

A section of angry Kaizer Chiefs fans had to be refrained by police details as they attempted to confront the club’s leadership demanding the sacking of head coach Molefi Ntseki, after the defeat to SuperSport United last night.
Amakhosi fans were hoping the Glamour Boys would return to winning ways after Saturday’s goalless draw with Royal AM, but before some of them had settled in the stands at the Peter Mokaba Stadium, Terrence Dzvukamanja fired SuperSport ahead with just 80 seconds on the clock.
The Zimbabwean striker brilliantly connected to a Bradley Grobbler cross from the left, giving veteran Chiefs goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune, no chance.
That early goal secured three points for Matsatsantsa, to the ire of a section of Chiefs fans.
Amakhosi football manager Bobby Motaung had to intervene and tried to calm the fans down.
The disgruntled fans could be heard saying “he must go!” referring to Nketsi, who took over from Authur Zwane ahead of the 2023/24 DStv Premiership season.
The former Bafana Bafana coach has managed three wins in the nine matches he had overseen in the Amakhosi dugout.-Soccer24 News

just putting that out there.
i'm really proud of my roommate, M; she wrote the film, produced it & starred in it - it's her baby - and she's put so much blood sweat and tears into it. i'm proud to be a part of it & i know it's only going to open the door to more projects for myself & my friends.

last december i completed my first quilt along, and it was so much fun!
i stumbled across it on my pinterest just days before it was beginning and so i had to decide now or never...
the catvent was put on by Elizabeth Hartman (http://www.ohfransson.com/) and each day in december (1-25) a cat head was created.
this was the perfect opportunity to keep crafting during finals time as well as get a good dose of practice quilting in.
plus it knocked out a little chunk of all the batik fabrics i inherited from my grandma's leftovers, plus this giant piece of gray i ended up not using for it's original purpose.
i'm very pleased with the result, and will sooner or later do a bigger one with 100 cats

Give your office a makeover with the best Office Desk Melbourne touchpoint in your space with prestige, comfort and impact in mind.
Choosing a desk for your home office is not just about finding the right size and design but also making sure you’re getting one that will fit in with your furniture and decor. This blog article shares some tips that could help you select a suitable desk for your needs.
Types of Office Desks
As a busy business person, you need to know how to select the right office desk. This is why you need to familiarize yourself with the different types of office desks available. You can go for a reputed Office Desk in Melbourne service provider, whether you want to redesign your office or improve the comfort of your employees.
One of the most important considerations for selecting your office desk is height. Another thing to consider is how many drawers or compartments your office desk has. If you keep many things close at hand, having more compartments will help you stay organized.
Choosing the Right Height
Before you decide on the height of your new desk, it’s important to consider what type of work you will be doing at the desk. If you will be using your desk as a computer, laptop, or writing surface, then 6 feet is probably the bare minimum. At the other end of the spectrum, if you need to use your feet to reach pedals on a treadmill or adjust the height of something next to you, then 4 feet might be more appropriate.
Size, Weight, and Material Constraints
It is easy to buy a desk that is too large or too small for your work area. If you want a desk that will fit in your workspace, you need to figure out what size and type of material you need before going shopping. You’ll also want to ensure that the desk has plenty of outlets and space to store everything else.
Finishes and Configurations
The first step in picking the right office desk is considering the type of finish and configuration you want. A traditional wood desk may be a better option for someone with a neutral preference, while an executive desk that maximizes storage may be perfect for an executive.
Customizing Your Desk
Your desk should be the room’s focal point. It’s a place where your employees will talk about work and share ideas. The form factor is also important, as it will affect long-term maintenance. For example, a profile desk is better than a pedestal desk because they are less likely to topple over. Other considerations include:
- The materials and price of the desktop.
- Use of power supplies or generators.
- Security features like keycard access.
Whenever you’re buying an Office Desk Melbourne wide, you must remember the above aspects to make sure you get a desk that will fit your needs now and in the future. Buy a desk with plenty of space for your computer, your keyboard, and other vital items while still compact enough to easily move if you need more room. If you’re looking for something bigger, buy two!

Tesla Giga Berlin has started recruiting for positions related to battery manufacturing. This is further evidence that Tesla continues to advance its goals of vertically integrating the major components of its vehicles and energy storage lineup. The battery, of course, is one of the company’s most critical components, and we are excited to see Tesla in Germany leading the charge.
During the Q2 2020 Earnings Call, Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed that the company's original plan remains in place and Giga Berlin will manufacture its own battery cells to match vehicle assembly volume. According to Tesla, the goal is to locally produce the batteries needed for the car factory. Particulars around implementation are currently being explored.
At the end of July, Tesla's representatives in Germany and the Minister of Economy, Labor and Energy of the state of Brandenburg, Jörg Steinbach, confirmed that Tesla will build a battery cell manufacturing plant for Giga Berlin in Grünheide.
“Tesla has started planning for battery cell production in Grünheide. The company told us about it,” said Steinbach. "This is great news again. Another step to make Brandenburg the leading energy transition country in Germany and Europe," he continued.
During the last two weeks, Tesla has opened recruitment for five positions related to battery manufacturing:
- Process Engineer, Cells;
- Manager Quality Cells;
- Equipment Development Engineer, Cell Manufacturing;
- Technical Program Manager, Cells;
- Cell Process Engineering Process Engineer, Cells.
The positions are based at Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg.
In the job descriptions, Tesla points out that the company's cell manufacturing engineering group is looking for highly-motivated professionals to accelerate their next-generation battery cell manufacturing program.
Process Engineer will be involved in the design, development and ramping of advanced electrode manufacturing processes, while working in a cross-functional team to test and validate product design changes.
Equipment Development Engineer will be involved in the design, development, commissioning and ramping of high-throughput equipment, while working in a cross-functional team to test, validate, and roll-out process and product design changes.
Cell Process Engineering Process Engineer will invent, develop, scale up and optimize battery manufacturing processes within a cross-functional engineering team responsible for the development lifecycle and launch into manufacturing. In this role, an employee will work closely with many organizations both internal and external to Tesla taking new battery designs from initial concept through into full production.
Technical Program Manager is a cross-functional role that requires coordination between many different groups within and outside of Tesla. an employee will drive the development and deployment of new manufacturing equipment and processes, as well as planning and execution of new cell manufacturing expansion within Europe. Technical Program Manager will drive projects from concept through install, integration, ramp, and handover to production. an employee will communicate and present project status, highlight schedule risk, and develop recovery plans in the event of a project slip.
Batteries are essential to Tesla's vehicles and storage systems. All positions will have the opportunity to contribute significantly to the company's products, both in Europe and around the world.

Wenceslas Baudin was born on 28 September 1863 in Grand Rivière, Gaspé, Quebec. Over the years he went by both Wenceslas and Stanislas and the surname was spelled as Baudin and Beaudin, the latter in later years. His parents were Fidele Baudin and Elizabeth Bisson who had married on 3 December 1857 in Grand Rivière. Stanislas had three older siblings, Mathias, Benoni, and Alphonsine, and two younger siblings, Joseph and Flore Anne. It appears that his mother died around 1870-72, with Fidele marrying Marie Marguerite Louise Bisson. Children born to this couple were Joseph Pierre, Fidele, Marie, Emma, and Esther.
Stanislas lived in Grand Rivière with his family until at least the 1891 census, working as a journalier (daily labourer). By 1900 he had moved to Rat Portage (later renamed Kenora) in northwestern Ontario. On 17 April 1900, in Rat Portage, Stanislas married Marie Eulalie Perron. Born in 1871 in St Anaclet, Rimouski, Québec, Marie was the daughter of Israel and Marie (née Hepelle) Perron and had moved to the Rat Portage area with her parents and some of her siblings at some point before the 1891 census.
Children born to Stanislas and Marie in Rat Portage were Joseph Stanislas Fidele (1902), Joseph Louis Israel (1904), Joseph Pierre Francois (1906-1907), Pierre Joseph Adjutor Janvier (1910-1910), and Marie Anna Genevieve Louise (1915-1917). Sadly, only Fidele and Louis survived infancy/early childhood.
Stanislas enlisted with the 233rd Battalion (Canadiens-Français du Nord-Ouest) in Winnipeg on 14 September 1916. His occupation was given as labourer and his wife Marie in Kenora (St Joseph Hospital) as next of kin. Likely to appear younger, his date of birth was given as 12 October 1872. Elsewhere in his record his year of birth was corrected. While training in Edmonton, Stanislas was discharged from service as medically unfit (overage) on 9 January 1917.
Stanislas returned to Kenora where sadly his wife Marie died on 16 May 1920, having been an invalid for a number of years. By the 1921 census Stanislas was working as a labourer and lodging with the Michael and Bridget Sweeney family on Alexander Avenue in Winnipeg.
Stanislas (name given as Wenceslas on his death record) died on 10 March 1930 in Winnipeg. His son Fidele married Marie Philomene Desjarlais and the couple gave birth to at least eight children. Fidele died in 1974 in Regina, Saskatchewan. Stanislas’ son Louis married Viola May Murtha and died in 1992 in Chemainus, British Columbia. Stanislas is interred in St Mary’s Cemetery in Winnipeg, his grave unmarked.

Growing the planting material of juzgun leafless in the Astrakhan region
The Agrarian Scientific Journal
. In the Astrakhan region, land desertification occurs mainly in the form of deflation and salinization. This process is characterized by the degradation of the vegetation cover, the development of erosion processes and the growth of open sand areas. It is possible to stop the desertification of territories by creating forest protection belts and phytomelioration of degraded phytocenoses. As part of scientific work at the Federal State Budget Scientific Institution "PAFSC RAS" in the period
... 2019 to 2021 research was carried out on the cultivation of planting material juzgun of various phenotypes, for use in phytomelioration of arid pastures. As part of the experiment, a leafless dzhugun shrub of various phenotypes (Astrakhan and Kazakh) was sown on planting material under rainfed and irrigated conditions. When growing seedlings on irrigation, the method of drip irrigation was used. According to the results of the study, the following was revealed: the germination of seeds of leafless juzgun on a rainfed land was higher than on irrigation by 1.3-9.9%. The germination of seeds of the Astrakhan phenotype turned out to be 2.5 times better than the Kazakh one on a rainfed land, and on irrigation, the seeds of the Kazakh phenotype had single shoots. The height of plants by the end of the growing season on irrigation exceeded the rainfed variant by 0.35-0.85 m. At the end of the growing season (September-November), depending on the amount of soil moisture (50-60% of HB), after autumn rains, all planting material was planted on arid natural pastures. Seedlings grown on rainfed crops had a survival rate of 37.7 - 49.6%, and on irrigation - 43.4-45.4%.

District cooling infrastructure is a big ongoing project by Hafslund Oslo Celsio. Since having a total overview of the environmental impact of each such facility is crucial, NORSUS and Norsk Energi have developed an environmental declaration mapping the product's whole life cycle.
District cooling, also known as area cooling, is based on renewable energy resources, which contributes to reducing the need for electricity. When establishing a district cooling infrastructure, cooling production in each building is unnecessary; therefore, such measures are an essential part of the climate solution.
In brief, district cooling means that cooling machines cool down water while excess heat from the plants can be utilized for heating when possible.
The corporation Hafslund Oslo Celsio offers both district cooling and heating in Oslo municipality, and the areas of Økern and Ullern are now to be developed. As part of the process, Hafslund Oslo Celsio requested an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).
An EPD is a document summarizing the total environmental impacts of a product.
Hafslund Oslo Celsio*s EPD NORSUS, in collaboration with Energi Norge, has prepared the Hafslund Oslo Celsio EPD. Energi Norge has contributed data about the infrastructure used for cooled water distribution, while NORSUS has calculated the environmental impacts and developed the EPD.
Environmental declarations relate the environmental effects to a functional unit. In this specific EPD, the functional unit is 1 kWh cooling delivered to the customer. The estimated environmental impact includes the manufacture and transportation of raw materials used in the infrastructure and the manufacture and transport of energy carriers used to cool the water. The infrastructure consists of the facility cooling the water and the pipe networks distributing the cooled water to customers. It is the infrastructure itself that is most important for the total environmental impact of district cooling.
An EPD divides the product's life cycle into modules. In the Hafslund Oslo Celsio EPD, the process is split into an upstream, a core, and a downstream module.
- The upstream module includes producing and distributing electricity used to cool the water.
- The core module consists of the production of the infrastructure for the energy plant where the water cooling happens. This module also includes infrastructure for dumping heat used for district heating.
- The downstream module includes the infrastructure of the pipe mesh distributing cold water, as well as heat exchangers and associated equipment at the customer's premises.
Yearly maintenance and waste disposal of the infrastructure are also included in the analysis.
For district cooling, the infrastructure is the most important contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impact categories. The main factor is steel used in the energy plant, the customer unit and the distribution network.
In general, the core module accounts for approximately 50 percent of the total environmental impact of delivering 1 kWh to customers. The effects of the upstream and downstream modules depend on which environmental impact category is being analyzed.

For those of us who live in or near New Tampa who aren’t of the Islamic faith, it can be difficult, considering the state of the world these days, to embrace those who are or consider themselves to be Muslims.
And, considering that I was living in New York City when the first Islamic mosque, or place of worship, opened there — and the number of people of the Islamic faith who I have known, done business with or utilized as physicians in this community, I was a little embarrassed to admit that I had never stepped foot inside a mosque until February 21, when the Islamic Society of New Tampa, located at 15830 Morris Bridge Rd. (just a little bit north of Cross Creek Blvd.), hosted an Open House at its Daarus Salaam Mosque.
Like many of the hundreds of people who had never visited the New Tampa mosque before Feb. 21, I found out about the Open House from the ad in our publication, although I also received a personal invitation to attend from Bilal Saleh, the owner of Zaytoun Mediterranean Grill, which is located less than a mile away. In fact, Bilal told me that at least 65-70 percent of the people who visited the mosque for the first time that day, found out about the Open House from this publication.
And, although I already knew some of the facts about the Muslim religion presented on the two dozen or so information boards displayed inside the mosque that day, there was quite a bit of historical and other information that I had never heard before or simply misunderstood.
Despite my embarrassment about my lack of knowledge about the Muslim views of the faith’s relationship to Judaism and Christianity, the role of women in Muslim society and some of the teachings of the Qur’an (Koran), the central religious text of Islam, I was at the event to learn more about the faith, so I read every message board and even found a group of young ladies who were more than willing to help teach me things I didn’t know or understand before.
A Very Special Remembrance
Bilal introduced me to several people as I walked around the grounds of the mosque. One of the people I met, a local physician, told me we had actually met once before…shortly after 9-11, when the Islamic Society and leaders of other local churches (as well as the now-defunct Temple Ohev Shalom of Tampa Palms) came together for a joint prayer vigil held at St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church. The doctor had hand-written and mailed me a note asking me to attend the event. He was so touched that I not only attended, but that I sought him out to thank him for taking the time to write and send me such a beautiful invitation.
I know some people…and even some candidates for president…dislike or distrust people of the Muslim faith, but I don’t believe in judging people, especially without meeting or getting to know them. All I know is that I felt very welcomed at the New Tampa mosque and saw beautiful families who love not only their faith and their place of worship, but also the community in which they live and work.

What is the GB5 s?
The GB5 s is the remodelled version of La Marzocco's classic GB5 machine, originally released back in 2005. It sill retains it's original focus on offering redefined temperature stability via it's dual PID technology, controlling both their brew and steam boilers, keeping it in line with the current high standards of the internal La Marzocco design. It still sits within their range as the more traditional machine in terms of style, with curved lines and old school Italian design, complete with arched corner containing a Marzocco lion for full effect - the only one in the range with this iconic feature. Inside it's still a workhorse, capable of high volume and consistently accurate temperature stability.
What has changed?
The GB5 s evolution is driven by a series of advanced technical features that move it into the territory of elite innovation. It now contains a system for detecting water quality, monitoring the water that enters the system and letting you know how it's hardness and conductivity. This is hugely important for two reasons. Firstly it now provides a way of you properly protecting your equipment against scale. Secondly, being able to control the quality fo your water allows you to refine the quality of your coffee, which will really up the standards.
They have also released an app that you can now access the machines key parameters, allowing you to set profiles, pre-infusion, cleaning cycles etc. But also, allows your engineer to access the machines data to resolve issues remotely instead of having to come to site, saving time, costs and stress caused from downtime.
Who is this machine right for?
If you are a business known for quality coffee or wants to up it's coffee game and you serve coffee at reasonable volumes. You are looking for a serious machine with a good pedigree that will last and not give you any headaches - with a traditional feel and real presence - the GB5 s is a great option.
The GB5 s typifies why La Marzocco machines are considered the best in the world, with a string of key features that make it such a high quality machine:
• Dual Boilers - separate boilers for brewing and steaming. Having separate boilers gives you two key things. Firstly a dedicated boiler for brewing espresso at a precise temperature, which is crucial for quality espresso. The second is for generating a continued supply of hot water and steam, without impacting the quality of your brewing water.
• Fully saturated groups - giving you unrivalled group temperature stability. Group-heads are connected to the brew boiler, so your water travels less distance and maintains a more precise temperature. Further, the group itself is heated maintaining further temperature stability.
• Dual PID - precision control over your coffee & steam temperature. The temperature always varies, slightly, so having a PID does two key things. Firstly it pulses back to within 0.1c whenever there is variance. Secondly it allows you to alter the setting of the temperature based on the style of coffee you are using. Additionally being able to accurately control the steam boiler temperature allows you to adjust the steam pressure and intensity of your steam wands.
• Piero Group Caps - re-engineered water path and flow meter positioning that increases temperature stability.
• Pro App Compatible - electronic board that will allow connectivity to the new La Marzocco Pro App (available mid 2021).
• Digital Display - providing front facing access to all the machines key control parameters such as the PID, group volume programs, cleaning cycles etc.
• Programmable Doses - allowing espresso doses to be programmed / stored into each of the front facing buttons. *Only on AV & ABR versions.
• Ruby flow restrictors - keeping your shots consistent all the time. Being able to get repeat recipes of your coffee shots is crucial. If your flow restrictors get scale in them or corrode at all, you will fail to get consistency. Ruby is a material resistant to scale, so resolves this issue. Other manufacturers use cheap metal materials, but La Marzocco manage this challenge for you.
• Hot water economiser - precision control over the hot water tap temperature. This allows you to finely tune your water temperature for Americano's and Tea. Boiling water is not great for everything, and being able to adjust this is a great feature.
• Stainless steel portafilters - easy to clean and no more dirty group handles. Having stainless steel portafilters is something that all espresso machines should offer, but they don't. They are easier to clean, contribute towards you serving clean / taint free coffee and less maintenance.
You can buy this machine in three difference versions:
Firstly the Automatic (AV) version with 4 pre-programmable buttons per group, it's perfect for settings where programmed shots are required for consistency and reliability. But also as a ABR version, which offers a system of a series of dosing modes via the LED screen, supported by built in scales into the drip tray, resulting in very accurate control, driving quality and managing workflow.
Why buy from us?
We are an actual approved La Marzocco partner, with advanced knowledge of their machines. When you buy with us, we will provide you with honest and straightforward information on the right machine for you, not just the most expensive. You can buy outright or purchase via lease to buy through our finance partner, allowing you to get the right machine for your business first time around without cutting corners.

I am buying an off-plan property in Los Barrios (Cadiz) and already had an initial meet-up with a lawyer recommended by the estate agent. 😕
Well, my case might be slightly different from the most members of this forum. I am a resident in Gibraltar married to a local and have chosen this property with a plan to move to when it is complete. We know the area quite well.
Buying a Spanish property here is not a big deal at all and it is almost treated as a local property purchase. As Gib is such a small town, you somehow know everyone in one way or another. (For example, the state agent knows my husband’s father in person from the same rowing club, etc.)
However, now I have become extremely panicky about the fact that I have sort of appointed my Spanish lawyer who is obviously in a very good workig relationship with this local estate agency.
Should I change the lawyer sooner than later? He practices in Gibraltar and I found him trustworthy. He is charging us 1% of the property price (2950 euro) and seems to have good experience with property purchases in Cadiz province. We will have to pay first half at the contract stage (end Sep) & second half in 2.5 yrs time when the property is complete. He was going to take us to a neaby policia nacional (La Linea) for NIE, but I found out that we could do it ourselves without his help. He was going to charge us 160 euros for that on top of the 1% lawyer’s fee. Do you smell anything fishy here?
Could you please tell me what would be the best way at this stage?
This is still very risky as he is recommended by the agent?
Do I still need to change this local lawyer and find an independent lawyer?
If so, where can I find a good independent lawyer in Cadiz prov.?
I also found this website http://www.spainlawyer.com/ where you can hire a spanish lawyer for a fixed fee. Is it a good idea to use this site?
I am very concerned about this. Please advise me.
Thanks a lot.
August 30, 2005 at 2:50 pm #58714AnonymousParticipant
Dear Jaz, I advice you to have an independent lawyer, I wouldn’t take the lawyer from the agency as there is a conflict of interests.
I can recommend you a good independent lawyer who is based in Tarifa so he could perfectly provide a service to you, his name is Salvador Perez, his tel number is 956.682.067 and his e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.org.
Good luck . regards

Red Shoes is currently an acoustic duo based in Birmingham, England, consisting of Carolyn Evans on Vocals and Guitar and Mark Evans also on Vocals and Guitar. In the early 1980's the group named Red Shoes was a larger band, including Derek Eynon on Bass and Vocals and Nick Milward on Drums and Vocals. The original group had considerable success with several singles and an album, but broke up when Carolyn and Mark took time off to raise a family. In June, 2009, Red Shoes released their first album in their current configuration Ring Around the Land on Cedarwood Records featuring backups by Dave Pegg of Fairport Convention, Chris Leslie, PJ Wright, Megan Evans (Carolyn and Mark's daughter). The album includes Dave Swarbrick's song "White Dress", their version of the Child Ballad "Two Sisters", a song based on Ray Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes", and a wide variety of other self-penned songs. The album ends with the traditional Morris tune "Shepherd's Hay". As a duo, Red Shoes has had a song featured in the Fatea compilation "Duos", which was made available free of charge for download (http://www.fatea-showcase-sessions.co.uk.) for a limited time in September 2008. .The song "My Father's Green Beret" speaks of the tragedy of Carolyn's father, a decorated WWII veteran, who died due to neglect and unsanitary conditions in an NHS hospital, More information and demos are available at http://www.myspace.com/redshoes1. .

by Tiffany Pryce
Hey Poppy friends! Did you know that Teacher Appreciation Week starts on Monday, May 2? My husband has been a math teacher at a public school for nearly a decade so I know how hard teachers work. I decided to pull out some supplies and create a very clean and simple card to say thank you to one of the hardworking educators at my husband's school. I hope this inspires you to make a few cards for the dedicated educators in your life.
To start, I die cut a panel of white cardstock using the Pinpoint Half Ring Plate die and trimmed a quarter inch from two sides. I adhered the panel to an A2 card base.
Next, using the Berry Red and Ocean Blue paper packs, I trimmed quarter inch strips with my paper trimmer. I trimmed a piece of copy paper to 4.5 x 3.25 inches and adhered the strips in alternating colors. I trimmed any excess hanging over. I backed the panel with fun foam for dimension and adhered to the card front.
Next, I worked on the sentiment. I die cut the word 'teacher' from white cardstock using the Marzipan Alphabet dies. I die cut each letter twice from cardstock and once from fun foam and adhered the layers together. Using the lines of the panel, I lined up and glued the letters across the panel with liquid glue. For a little extra detail, I added crystal glaze on each letter. I stamped the sub-sentiment from the Life is Sweet stamp set with prize ribbon distress oxide ink, cut it into a strip, and adhered with foam tape.
Lastly, I die cut the Whittle Pie die from white cardstock. With dye ink and copic markers, I colored the pie crust top. For the pie tin at the bottom, I die cut the piece from silver cardstock in the Rainbow Reflections Mirror pad. I adhered the crust with foam tape and then glued the completed pie above the letters.
If you make a card for an educator in your life, I'd love to see it. I think it would bring him or her so much joy. Please tag Poppystamps and me on Instagram. Happy crafting!

Be ready to mesmerize your taste senses and surprise your near and dear ones with this interesting mix. So let’s get started and learn more about the wonders of chamoy pickles!
What is a Chamoy Pickle Kit?
Chamoy Pickle Kit is a culinary gem that blends the sweet, salty, and spicy taste of chamoy with the acidic and sour taste of pickles. Apricots, plums, or mangoes are used to make the common Mexican condiment chamoy, which is also seasoned with jalapeño peppers, lime juice, and a little salt. The typical pickle experience is given a distinctive twist, resulting in a delicious combination that surprises and satisfies the palette.
The Origins of Chamoy: A Brief History
Mexican food has been a longtime favorite and is the core of Chamoy. Maya or Aztec cultures are said to have originated chamois, however, its exact origins are still in question. The fruits were traditionally ground with pepper, salt, and other ingredients to make chamoy. Chamomile became more popular not only in Mexico but also in other regions of the world as diverse varieties emerged over time.
Exploring the Flavors: The Taste of Chamoy
The rich flavor profile of chamoy includes characteristics of sweetness, sourness, pungency, and spice. The fruit, chili, and lime juice combine to create a flavor that dances on your tongue. A lovely flavor balance builds as the initial sweetness is followed by slight acidity, then a little heat appears. The distinctive flavor of chamoy makes any meal delicious, and when combined with pickles, the result is a mouth-watering contrast that’s guaranteed to satisfy.
The Art of Pickling: Preserving Vegetables in Style
Pickling is an age-old method of preserving vegetables by submerging vegetables in a pickling solution, usually consisting of vinegar, water, salt, and other spices. This process transforms the vegetables into crisp, tangy dishes with a unique flavor and texture. Pickling can preserve vegetables for a long time, and you can create a variety of colorful and delicious possibilities for your culinary creations.
Unleashing the Fusion: Chamoy Meets Pickles
Culinary magic happens when pickles and chamoy are combined. The acidic and crunchy texture of pickle blends well with the sweet and spicy flavor of chamoy to provide a flavor explosion in every mouthful. As they dance your palette will encounter contrasting flavors of sourness, sweetness, and heat, giving you a flavourful delight unlike any other. Chamoy pickles are a tempting delight for those looking for a unique and exciting culinary adventure because they provide the ideal flavor balance.

Robots in the sand
The idea of robots roaming the earth alongside human beings is not a new one and it’s been widely assumed that the day would come where it would happen. From popular media to sci-fi novels, robots smart enough to live in our world have been an eventual outcome of the desire to bring science fiction to reality. Whether driven by the sheer excitement and allure of the idea or through legitimate research for the betterment of humanity, robots have come a long way since the days of 1960’s television shows. If asked, most people would say that they fall into one of two camps, those that would embrace our robot friends or those fear of the idea that they will become smarter than us and want to eliminate us. Regardless of which camp you fall into, it’s difficult to deny the advancements in robotics and how far the skills of robotics technicians have come and it appears as though robots are here to stay.
While the idea of robots taking over the world may seem farfetched, especially if you look at what robots are actually capable of today, it would be unwise to not heed at least some of the warnings that are out there. Despite the borderline silliness of some of what robots can do, the rate at which they’re becoming smarter, more mobile, agile and they learn is becoming exponential and is predicted to outperform humans in almost every way within the next 50 years.
It’s Not All Doom and Gloom
Despite what we sometimes see in the movies, there are a lot of benefits to be had with living side by side with robots. While it’s certainly reasonable to be be creeped out with a robot that is attempting to mimic a human, especially in what a human looks like, modern day robotics are able to complete many tasks successfully and with more efficiency than humans can do. For example, how often do you look forward to vacuuming the house? Robots that have been made solely for the purpose of vacuuming your home have existed for some time now and do this job well. Or how about the use of robot pallets working simultaneously with other robots to pick your products from warehouse shelves when you order online? Not only will these robots find your product but they’ll also ensure that it arrives at the correct loading bay for delivery. All of this runs mostly autonomously, independent from human intervention. Of course, humans are still there to help with some tasks or when the robots break down, but the question arises, how long will it be before robots themselves can accomplish these tasks as well?
All About the Animals
In the world of robotics and artificial intelligence, robotics engineers and programmers do their absolute best to minimize the obviousness of what is called the uncanny valley. The uncanny valley is when a robot is intended as a human replica that appears almost, yet not exactly as a human. It often results as eeriness or revulsion by many observers, or an absence of what it means to be human. Until mitigating these effects can be accomplished, many engineers have focused on the animal kingdom as inspiration for robotics development. Some of the attributes and benefits of animals that have been mimicked so far include:
- Flying and the way insect wings move in order to accomplish the same maneuvers that are seen in the wild. For example, the four wings of a dragonfly that all move independently and at different speeds and ways in which they move, which allow the dragonfly to move in a very specific way
- Crawling and moving over difficult terrain. The way in which many amphibians, lizards, reptiles and rodents move over difficult terrain has inspired engineers to rethink leg movement and design, allowing robots to climb over obstacles that others would find challenging or impossible to pass. Some will also slither much like a snake does through less viscous things like sand or water.
- Movement over less difficult terrain has also been analyzed. Animals that excel at speed and act as models for robots that will be able to run at high speeds, turn on a dime, or jump excessive heights. While it may be argued how a robot with this skill set could be beneficial to humans, it’s not so much that robotics engineers would build a robot that does these things to hunt humans, but more to understand how they can make better robots overall.
The world is filled with amazing creatures that are able to accomplish all sorts of amazing feats that humans can’t do. If developed responsibly, having robots work alongside humans can be a huge benefit to us through the betterment of all humans. Their use would increase the standard of living, and robots would help bridge the gap between third and first world countries to bring the standard of living discrepancies found throughout the world to an end.


Time flies when you’re having fun in the form of practicality and performance. That’s the idea behind the Porsche Panamera. It’s been 10 years this month since they debuted their primo luxury sedan and sports-car-for-four all rolled into one.
Porsche had been working on the idea of a 4-door Gran Turismo for quite some time. In fact, they developed a four-seater based on the 356 as far back as the 1950’s. When the Panamera debuted on April 19, 2009 in Shanghai, it was the result of three concepts. The name came from the Mexican endurance race “Carrera Panamericana”.
The first generation Panamera was powered by naturally aspirated V6 and V8 engines capable of producing between 246 and 542 horsepower. In keeping with Porsche’s sporty heritage, there was a six-speed manual, but most customers chose the seven-speed dual clutch PDK. The top model featured air suspension.
Now in its second generation, the Porsche Panamera has become more powerful with 18 models to choose from. Hybrids are part of the mix drawing from the engineering from the 918 Spyder supercar. The second gen Panamera has also seen other enhancements like rear-axle steering, PDCC Sport electromechanical roll stabilisation system, and a digital display.
There were skeptics when the Panamera was first introduced. However, Porsche has proven sports car performance can come with the luxury of grand touring tradition with more than 235,000 cars sold so far.

The driver of a GMC pickup truck that fatally struck an Apple engineer and his horse says he simply didn’t see the 1,200-pound animal before it was too late.
“I can’t stop!” said Blaine Beck, 58, of San Jose, recalling what he was thinking just before his pickup slammed into the horse Saturday evening in Coyote Valley on his way back from his son’s home in Morgan Hill. “I just didn’t see the horse until it was 10 feet in front of me. I hit the brakes. I hit them hard. But it was too late.”
Beck’s pickup slammed into the horse, named Regal Bull, who flew 30 feet down Hale Avenue and died at about 8:30 p.m. His owner, Allen “Skip” Haughay Jr., an iPod engineer at Apple, was flung from the horse’s back and landed on top of a parked Ford, according to the California Highway Patrol. The 48-year-old man died en route to the hospital. .
Haughay’s family arrived from Delaware on Tuesday. They will make funeral arrangements with his partner, Abel Urbina, who lived with Haughay at his ranch half a mile from where he died.
Beck was not arrested or cited. CHP Officer Jaime Rios said officers gave him a field sobriety test and conducted another preliminary alcohol screener. The officer determined that Beck was not under influence of drugs or alcohol. Rios said it could take CHP investigators up to two months to complete their investigation.
Rios said the preliminary investigation appears to show that Beck’s pickup didn’t veer from the road.
Rios said there are also “a lack of skid marks” on Hale near Kalana Avenue, which would indicate that Beck didn’t hit the brakes or hit them “at the moment of impact.”
In an interview with this newspaper, Beck said all he can think of was that lights from oncoming traffic may have blinded him temporarily, which is why he didn’t see the horse. He said he was going the speed limit of 45 mph at the time and was not using a cellphone.
Haughay’s friends said that a handful of them were on nearby private property, waiting for the hosts of a party to open up a gate and let them in.
Monica Topete, 15, a family friend of Haughay’s who was with him at the time, said there was no oncoming traffic. She said her father, Geno Topete, 46, also spotted the pickup seconds before it struck the horse, and he began wildly waving a small flashlight in his hands to try to get the driver’s attention. Haughay also was waving his arms to try to get the driver to slow down, Monica said.
Then, suddenly, Regal Bull and Haughay were flying in the air. Monica and her father rushed to Haughay’s side, holding his hand. The friends nearby heard the commotion and arrived at the scene. They wiped the blood streaming from his head. One friend took off a shirt to wrap around Haughay, who they had grown to love as gregarious, fun-loving, eccentric “Skip.”
“He was part of our family,” said Daisy Topete, whose sister and father saw the accident. “He was always with us for Christmas and birthdays. He was an uncle, a second dad.”
Sheriff’s deputies happened to be in the neighborhood at the time, Daisy Topete said. That’s because someone had called to report too much noise coming from the home where Haughay and friends were expected to arrive. The hosts were throwing a traditional Mexican banda party, complete with live trumpets, drums, guitars and clarinets. Daisy Topete said the party hosts had asked the musicians to tone it down before the deputies arrived, and she insisted that Regal Bull was not the type of horse to get spooked by loud music. Haughay was also an experienced rider, friends said, and knew how to handle his horse.
Beck said that he called 911 immediately and waited at the scene. He attended his church first thing Sunday morning and “prayed for the family.” He said he spoke to a friend, who happens to be a San Jose police chaplain, who advised him not to seek out the victim or his family for fear of possible retribution.
“I really wrestled with that,” Beck said.
So, Beck, who said works in retail management, asked his five children to ask their various prayer groups to send wishes up to heaven for Haughay and his loves ones.
“People keep hugging me,” Beck said. “But I’m the one walking around. Their family lost someone. They are the ones who are devastated. It’s too hard to put what I’m feeling into words. But I just wish it never happened.”

Netherlands 1-2 Scotland
David Wotherspoon hit the winner as Scotland jumped to second in qualifying Group 10, ending the Jong Oranje's perfect start to the campaign.
Article top media content
Scotland moved to within a point of UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying Group 10 leaders the Netherlands, ending the hosts' perfect start with victory in Nijmegen.
Hibernian FC forward David Wotherspoon shot low into Marco Bizot's goal ten minutes after the interval to ensure the unbeaten Scots leapfrogged Bulgaria into second spot.
The visitors were in front two minutes in, Huddersfield Town FC forward Jordan Rhodes stealing ahead of a stationary Virgil van Dijk to head in James Forrest's right-wing cross for his sixth goal in his last three qualifiers.
The lead lasted ten minutes before a goalkeeping error from Mark Ridgers drew the hosts level. Adam Maher's over-hit free-kick appeared harmless but the Heart of Midlothian FC stopper fumbled under no pressure and the ball bounced over the goal line.
The keeper showed spirit to respond strongly, producing a number of good saves, most impressively from Luciano Narsingh's stinging ten-metre drive. Ola John and Stefan de Vrij also saw efforts repelled after the interval, but Scotland continued to threaten on the break. Rhodes headed wide Greg Wylde's left-wing cross moments before Wotherspoon won it, while Van Dijk missed two excellent chances to rescue a point in the dying moments.
