DONETSK, May 26. /ITAR-TASS/. Martial law is introduced in the proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) on Monday, Denis Pushilin, chairman of the presidium of the DPR Supreme Council, told Itar-Tass.
"Martial law is introduced in the territory of the DPR. The main purpose is to clear the Republic's territory of Ukrainian military units", he explained.
Pushilin also commented on the plans announced by Petro Poroshenko, who is apparently winning in Ukraine's presidential elections, to make the first official trip as president to Donbass. "Let's get right at the truth without mincing matters. This (the contemplated trip) is not quite advisable, for the people of the DPR are against the declared candidates. None of them condemned the Kiev authorities' criminal orderd the execution of which continues to result in the deaths of civilians. Neither of them condemned the events in Odessa. What can he (Poroshenko) talk about over here?" Pushilin asked in rhetorical question.
He pointed out that the DPR's dialogue with the authorities in Kiev "is possible only with intermediaries' participation". "We are ready to discuss matters relating to an exchange of hostages and a withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the DPR's territory," Pushilin added.

Here are the images of the same lens and camera the next day outdoor! I absolutely love the bokeh and how much it separates the subject from the background and to think about it only on a 1.8 aperture. We shot these images in back a coffeeshop building at sunset time, surprisingly for a winter the weather has been so nice that I could be in a skirt and without a heavy jacket. Also let's talk about how the new Lightroom update has made editing so much easier, I couldn't believe how quickly I was able to finished editing this set. To be honest I kind of feel bad for myself for the past many years spending so many hours on the editing by creating presets and tweaking each image light graph etc while all I needed was this new update and I could have saved so much time!
Couple nights ago Josh got his new 85mm lens in the mail. That night I had made chicken curry in the instant pot my new favorite kitchen gadget. While I was serving dinner, he was going through the mail and pulled out the new 85mm lens out of the box and tested it on his Sony A7RIII camera and the result are these pictures. I have used 85mm lens before but the one I used didn't have an auto-focus so after 3 photoshoots I completely gave up on the idea and went back to my trusty 50mm. However it was not until I saw these results that I truly fell for this lens. The next day we went outdoors for a test shot and the images turned out absolutely beautiful . . I will share those image next.

Shroom capsules have gained a lot of attention in recent years among people interested in holistic and alternative health. These capsules, which often contain different types of
view medicinal mushroom, are a popular dietary product and touted for potential health benefits. This article will explore what shroom caps are, their possible advantages, how to use them, and the importance responsible consumption.
These capsules contain extracts of various types mushrooms. They are also known as functional fungi or medicinal mushrooms. The use of these mushrooms is a traditional one in many cultures, particularly Eastern medicine like Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda. Although the term “shrooms” is often associated with psychedelic mushroom, shroom capsules don’t contain psychedelic substances like psilocybin. They focus instead on non-psychoactive mushroom that is believed to have a variety of health benefits.
Benefits of mushroom capsules:
Immune Support: Many mushrooms are thought to have immunomodulatory qualities, including reishi and chaga. They may contain compounds that support and balance your immune system and increase its ability to fight infections and disease.
Adaptogenic properties: Some mushroom are considered adaptogens. This means that they may help restore balance and better cope with stress. Shroom capsules often contain adaptogens such as cordyceps and ashwagandha, which are thought to help the body respond to stressors.
Antioxidant action: Medical mushrooms are rich in antioxidants that can protect cells against damage caused by free radicles and combat oxidative stresses. Antioxidants are essential for overall health, and they may even contribute to longer life.
Antiinflammatory Effects: Some mushrooms, like lion’s Mane and maitake are associated with antiinflammatory properties. The potential of these mushrooms to reduce inflammation, which is associated with various health conditions is very appealing to many.
Considerations when using
Choose high-quality capsules from reliable sources. You should look for products that have been tested by a third party for potency, purity and contaminants.
Dosage & Usage: The dosage is dependent on the type and health goal of the mushroom. To determine the correct dosage, it’s best to consult a health professional or follow the instructions of the manufacturer.
Interactions Potential: Certain medicinal mushrooms can interact with certain medications and medical conditions. Consult your healthcare provider if you have any health concerns or are on medication.
Long Term Use: Although many shroom capsules have been found to be safe for short term use, long-term effects are still being investigated. You should regularly assess your body’s response and take breaks if you use them frequently.

Calgary police to deliver photo radar tickets by courier
That photo radar ticket you thought you escaped could soon be turning up on your doorstep in the hands of a courier.
Calgary police say they were holding off on sending out photo enforcement summonses since mid-June in case of a potential Canada Post strike.
Now, they’ve obtained a court order that will ensure the tickets are delivered via courier.
Typically, photo radar tickets are delivered in the mail, but the court order will now allow the service to start using couriers to send out the summonses while there is still the potential for Canada Post service disruption.
CPS started sending out the tickets Monday and is looking to clear the backlog.
People who receive a ticket will still have a right to challenge it, a process outlined on the back of the ticket.

Toilet and sink unblocking
An unpleasant job most shy away from, serviceteam Ltd. doesn’t! Our engineer will arrive on site fully prepared to tackle the toilet blockage.
Plumbing fixtures and fittings play an essential part in our everyday lives, but over time they age and become prone to leaks or breakages. Unexpected signs of dampness or stains on your ceiling or walls are tell-tale signs of a potential hidden water leak that needs to be located and fixed quickly. Something serviceteam Ltd. specialises in. Don’t wait until the damp spreads to other parts of the property; the repair cost could have escalated by then.
Ranging from a poor flushing or a partial flush, leaving unwanted waste at the bottom of the pan. The issue, if left unchecked, could get even worse and lead to a blockage! Serviceteam in London is here for all your plumbing emergencies, including toilet repairs in London and its surrounding areas.
Saniflo Macerator repair/ installation
Saniflo offers the perfect solution for your new bathroom, loft conversion or outhouse! A macerator installation can be installed almost anywhere (within reason). First, investigate the pros and cons of where they can or cannot be installed. Also, be mindful of what can be disposed of in a macerator. It won’t deal with absolutely everything, that’s for sure! Need some helpful advice on the installation of a macerator, then call our head office team or plumbers for assistance.
Electric shower replacement
Once we have all the details of the faulty electric shower, we will prepare a quotation for a like-for-like replacement. Electric shower replacement is one of the most common installations we deal with throughout Greater London and its surrounding areas on a daily basis. Electricity and water aren’t good bedfellows, so any installation must be left to the professional due to the risks involved.
Shower pump replacement
If you’re looking for the ultimate shower experience, make sure the shower you choose is capable of supplying the correct water pressure. It’s easy to overdo with the new design and looks of the shower head. Often appearance takes precedence over practicality, i.e., the shower head looks magnificent, but currently, the water pressure isn’t sufficient to deliver that relaxing all-over feeling; running around under the shower to get wet isn’t an option!
All is not lost, though; low pressure can be overcome by installing a shower pump such as a Salamander Shower booster Pump to put the ‘oomph’ back into it. Also, if the water pressure in your area is a constant problem, a booster pump could be the answer.

People can say what they want but there are 21 points to play for
Skipper Johnson clashed with his own goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey in the first half, conceded a penalty, gave a goal away and got flattened at the death.
He had not long been restored to the captaincy after turning up drunk for training – but his and Wolves’ problems seem to be getting worse not better.
While Bolton have won their last three league matches to climb out of the drop zone, Wolves seem doomed.
Terry Connor’s men took the lead through Michael Kightly but Bolton hit back with goals from Martin Petrov, Marcos Alonso and Kevin Davies before Matt Jarvis’s consolation strike.
Caretaker Connor has managed just one point from 18 since taking charge.
And with home games against Arsenal, Man City and Everton remaining, their chances of a fightback are looking bad.
The face-to-face clash, though, between Johnson and Hennessey summed up the hopelessness currently surrounding Wolves.
Wales stopper Hennessey, whose saves prevented a massacre, slated Johnson for missing a header that led to a Bolton shot from outside the area.
The fuming keeper walked towards his skipper while pointing his finger and Johnson didn’t take a backward step.
The two had their foreheads pressed up against one another like stags and it looked like a headbutt or a punch might follow.
Referee Jon Moss intervened to calm the situation but still the spat carried on. Hennessey brushed past the official to have another go at Johnson, until Kightly and then Stephen Ward tried to calm him.
In-fighting was the last thing Wolves and Connor needed with their Premier League status hanging by a thread.
The pity for Wolves was that they were looking dangerous and created good chances in the first half.
Steven Fletcher came close with his head on three occasions. His second effort was hacked off the line by Ryo Miyaichi in the 38th minute and he then put a Kightly cross inches over the bar from eight yards.
Wolves were finally rewarded for their efforts in the 53rd minute.
Kightly received the ball from Sylvan Ebanks-Blake out wide on the right, he ran at left-back Alonso, cut inside and sent his 20-yard shot past Adam Bogdan.
Whatever had been said at half-time in the dressing room, Wolves still managed to look a united team with the bit between their teeth.
But that spirit and any momentum they had clocked up went out of the window in the 63rd minute.
Johnson’s eventful afternoon continued when he was ruled to have fouled ex-Wolves man Mark Davies in the area and Bolton earned a penalty. Whether Johnson did in fact catch Davies or not, his lunge was still a reckless one.
Martin Petrov made no mistake with the spot-kick, celebrating by displaying a ‘Be Strong Stan’ message for fellow Bulgarian Stiliyan Petrov – who has been diagnosed with leukaemia.
Johnson missed another header for Bolton’s second when David Ngog instead headed against the bar and Alonso beat Johnson to the rebound.
Sub Kevin Davies killed Wolves off and now they are six points adrift.
Connor refused to accept their top-flight status is over, insisting: “People can say what they want but there are 21 points to play for.”
Bolton boss Owen Coyle said: “It was a massive three points for us.”

Michel Adanson watched himself die under his daughter’s gaze. He was wasting away, racked by thirst. His joints were like fossilized shells of bone, calcified and immobile. Twisted like the shoots of vines, they tormented him in silence. He thought he could hear his organs failing one after another. The crackling noise in his head, heralding his end, reminded him of the first faint noises made by the bushfire he’d lit one evening more than fifty years before on a bank of the Senegal River. He’d had to quickly take refuge in a dugout canoe, from where—accompanied by the laptots, his guides to the river— he’d watched an entire forest go up in flames.
The sump trees—desert date palms—were split by flames surrounded by yellow, red, and iridescent blue sparks that whirled around them like infernal flies. The African fan palms, crowned by smoldering fire, collapsed in on themselves, shackled to the earth by their massive roots. Beside the river, water-filled mangrove trees boiled before exploding in shreds of whistling flesh. Farther off toward the horizon, the fire hissed as it consumed the sap from acacias, cashew trees, ebony and eucalyptus trees while the creatures of the forest fled, wailing in terror. Muskrats, hares, gazelles, lizards, big cats, snakes of all sizes slid into the river’s dark flow, preferring the risk of drowning to the certainty of being burned alive. Their splashes distorted the reflection of the flames in the water. Ripples, little waves, then stillness.
Michel Adanson did not believe he’d heard the forest moan that night. But as he was consumed by an internal conflagration just as violent as the one that had illuminated his dugout on the river, he started to suspect that the burning trees must have screamed curses in a secret plant language, inaudible to men. He would have cried out, but no sound could escape his locked jaw.
The old man brooded. He wasn’t afraid of dying, but he regretted that his death would be of no use to science. In a final show of loyalty to his mind, his body, retreating before the great enemy, counted off its successive surrenders almost imperceptibly. Methodical even unto death, Michel Adanson lamented his powerlessness to describe in his notebooks the defeats of this final battle. Had he been able to speak, Aglaé could have acted as his secretary during his final agony. But it was too late to dictate the story of his own death.
He hoped desperately that Aglaé would discover his notebooks. Why hadn’t he simply left them to her in his will? He had no reason to fear his daughter’s judgment as though she were God. When you pass through the door to the next world, you cannot take your modesty with you.
On one of his last lucid days, he had understood that his research in botany, his herbaria, his collections of shells, his drawings would all disappear in his wake from the surface of the earth. Amid the eternal churn of generations of human beings crashing over one another like waves would come a man, or—why not?—a woman, another botanist who would unceremoniously bury him under the sands of his ancient science. So the essential thing was to figure in the memory of Aglaé as himself and not merely as some immaterial, ghostly scholar. This revelation had struck him on January 26, 1806: precisely six months, seven days, and nine hours before the beginning of his death.
That day, an hour before noon, he’d felt his femur break under the thick flesh of his thigh. A muffled crack, with no apparent cause, and he almost fell headfirst into the fireplace. Had it not been for Mr. and Mrs. Henry, who had caught him by the sleeve of his bathrobe, he might well have ended up with more bruises and perhaps some burns on his face. They laid him out on his bed and went to get help. And while the Henrys ran through the streets of Paris, he tried to press the heel of his left foot hard against the top of his right foot to extend his injured leg and allow the fractured bones in his femur to snap back into place. He fainted from the pain. When he woke, just before the arrival of the surgeon, Aglaé was on his mind.
He did not deserve his daughter’s admiration. Until then, his only goal in life had been that his “Universal Orb,” his masterpiece, should elevate him to the summit of the botanical world. The pursuit of glory, the jealous recognition of his peers, the respect of scientists all over Europe all of this was mere vanity. He had used up his days and nights meticulously describing close to one hundred thousand “existences”—plants, shellfish, animals of all species—to the detriment of his own. Now, though, he was forced to admit that nothing on earth existed without human intelligence to give it meaning. He would give meaning to his own life by writing it down for Aglaé.
After the unwitting blow dealt to his soul nine months earlier by his friend Claude-François Le Joyand, regrets had begun to torment him. Until then, they had been no more than little sighs of remorse rising up like air bubbles from the bottom of a muddy pond, bursting here and there on the surface without warning, despite the traps his mind had set to contain them. But during his convalescence he had finally managed to master them, to fix them in words. As though divinely ordained, his memories had poured out in order onto the pages of his notebooks, strung together like the beads of a rosary.
Writing had brought him to tears—tears that Mr. and Mrs. Henry attributed to his thighbone. He had let them believe this, let them procure for him all the wine they could get their hands on, replacing the sugar water that he usually drank with a pint and a half of Chablis every day. But drunkenness was not enough to dim the pain of remembering, through the words he wrote in his notebooks, the intensity of his love for a young woman whose features he could barely recall. The contours of her face seemed to have been burned away in the hell of his forgetfulness. How could he translate into simple words the exaltation he had felt when he first saw her fifty years before? In writing about her, he had struggled to restore her to wholeness. And that had been his first battle against death. He had thought it a victory until death caught up with him again. By then, thankfully, he had finished writing his memoirs of Africa. Ripples, little waves of melancholy, and finally resurrection.
Aglaé watched her father die. By the light of a candle placed on his nightstand, a low cabinet with false drawers, he was withering before her eyes. There, in the middle of his deathbed, it seemed to her that only the tiniest fragment of her father remained. He was as thin and dried-up as kindling. In the frenzy of his death throes, his bony limbs gradually lifted up the surface of the sheets that held them down, as if each had its own independent life. Only his enormous head, reclining on a sweat-soaked pillow, emerged from the fabric in which his meager body seemed to be drowning.
This man who had once had long auburn hair, which he would tie in a ponytail with a black velvet ribbon whenever he dressed up to take her out of the convent and drive her to the Jardin du Roi on warm spring days, was now bald. The white down that glistened in the flickering dance of candlelight could not hide the thick blue veins that ran below the surface of the thin skin covering his skull.
Barely visible beneath his bushy gray brows, his blue eyes, sunk deep in their sockets, were glazing over. The fire in those eyes was going out, and, of all the markers of his decline, Aglaé found this the most unbearable. Her father’s eyes were his life.
He had used them to examine the tiniest details of thousands of plants and animals, to tease out the secrets hidden within their sinuous veins, whether filled with sap or blood.
That power to penetrate the mysteries of life, which his eyes had gained from entire days spent scrutinizing specimens, was still palpable when their gaze was turned on Aglaé. His eyes probed her to her very depths, and her thoughts— even the most secret, the most microscopic of them—were seen. In such moments she was not merely one of God’s creations among many others, but became one of the essential links in the great universal chain. Used to scrutinizing the infinitesimal, his eyes suspended her against the boundless background of infinity as if she were a star fallen from the sky, put back in its precise place alongside billions of others, having thought itself lost forever.
Now drawn inward by suffering, her father’s gaze no longer had anything to tell her.
Indifferent to the acrid stench of his sweat, Aglaé leaned close to him as she would have done to an unexpectedly wilting flower. He tried to say something. From very close, she watched his lips move, deformed by the passage of a series of stammered syllables. He pursed his lips, then let a sort of wheeze escape from between them. At first she thought he was saying “Maman,” but in fact it was something like “Ma Aram” or “Maram.” He kept repeating it, over and over, until the end. Maram.

Is an easy electric scooter completely high-speed enough within your? While they will be certainly not nearly as quick as typically the majority of the particular gasoline-powered scooters, with all the recent improvements throughout speed they may possibly perhaps have typically the ability to serve your requirements. Whether or not a quick electric scooter is usually able to supply you with the speed you require will depend upon your objective for purchasing a single.
Before we could arrive to an brilliant selection between these kinds of two kinds of scooters we should first consider two or three specific concerns. Obviously, the disparities in speed will be critical, but despite we know this particular information it’s nonetheless important to be familiar with a few other issues before all of us can make a decisive determination.
Will be certainly little doubt a gas motor mobility scooter will take you anyplace an individual want to proceed. They are able to hit rates faster than a hundred MPH, so top speed shouldn’t be a problem with this particular sort of scooter. In addition to, because gas power scooters utilize gasoline for fuel, the particular range is never-ending.
High speeds for the bulk associated with electric scooters may normally be around 20 miles per hour, however you can discover a large quantity of makes and even model that competent of reaching thirty MPH or greater. These are the particular maximum speeds a person will find using “stand up” electrical powered scooters, nevertheless “motorbike-type” electric power scooters, the kind which have the step-through framework, can attain 50 MPH or more. Now that’s the fast electric scooter. If you’re by mechanical means minded, you may well alter them to travel faster.
After you have decided if the fast electrical scooter is quick enough for your current situation, you should take into account a number involving other issues before making your last decision regarding which style to buy.
Total range, or distance they could travel, is also an important way. If you’ll be buying your scooter to travel intensive distances you will doubtless need a gas power scooter. Electric scooters will usually need their very own batteries recharged after traveling 30 to be able to 50 miles, thus lengthy trips may only be achieved in case you carry further batteries you can use any time the power begins to get low. Electric Scooter have a big advantage over electric derived scooters in connection to range, or even distance they could travel, and optimum speed, but numerous other advantages move to the electric power types.
Electric powered motor scooters are much less pricey to utilize because these people don’t require high-priced fuel. Additionally, they malfunction less regularly, making maintenance and even repair expenses practically zero. They happen to be considerably less noisy than gas motors in addition to view associated with the fact of which they just do not emit virtually any toxic emissions these people can be managed indoors. The lack of harmful emissions causes them to be enviroment friendly, something that will is too substantial today.
Maximum rate defintely won’t be the a single and only criteria on the subject of selecting which type of child scooter is right for the situation. If you aren’t driving very very long distances or must have greater rates, a gas driven scooter is probably what you require. But if you act like you can find by with a 35 MPH motor mobility scooter, you can’t fail with an electric powered motor scooter plus all of their countless benefits.

Frozen yogurt -- just the words -- conjure the image of a cold nutritious treat. After all, we are talking yogurt, food that contains probiotics, calcium, and protein. The stuff that strengthens bones, our immune systems and keeps our digestive tracts healthy. But hold on, not all "frozen yogurt" is what the name implies.So what do we need to know about our favorite fro-yo to score a true guilt-free hit?
(After the jump, consult our Fro-Yo Facts.)
If It Contains Active Live Cultures, It Is Good for You. The National Yogurt Association, a voluntary, non-profit trade organization, has a labeling program that testifies if a frozen yogurt has live bacteria culture (lactobacillus bulgarious, streptococcus thermophilius and lactobacillious acidophilus) levels that are beneficial to health. Pinkberry (which took some legal heat in 2007 for ingredient labeling ), Red Mango, and even Kroger participate.
If You Investigate First, You Can Find Healthy Fro-Yo. Frozen yogurt contains milk, live active cultures (we hope), sweeteners, colorings and flavoring. Here's where it gets tricky, the sweetener can be artificial or natural as well as those pretty colors and yummy flavors. Sugar free and fat free may have sugar or fat substitutes with no nutritional value. Check your favorite fro-yo website for nutritional information. (Wouldn't it be nice if they all posted the info in their stores?)
Beware the Add-Ons. Sticking to plain yogurt with no added sugar can be a little boring, customizing your treat is part of the fun. Choose fresh whole fruits or chopped nuts to keep it clean.
Also Beware: Self-Serve = Super-Size Me. A hands-on coolness factor of some frozen yogurt shops is the bank of self -serve machines. The challenge: filling the bucket sized cup with a scant 4 oz serving of yogurt. The ingredient/nutrition lists posted on some of the fro-yo websites are based on ½ cup servings, and whether you have it scooped for you or measure out your own, the small serving size is usually 1.5 x's the listed information.
We didn't want to bust your frozen brain buzz -- really. Just don't be fooled into thinking you can substitute any frozen yogurt for a "healthy" guilt free dessert. Enjoy the fun factor of the fro-yo café, and have a treat. But, get to know your fro-yo first.
Check tomorrow for a recipe to make your own healthy frozen yogurt.


What you need to know
- Apple wants everyone to be able to use iPhones.
- It has tools in place to make that possible.
- One visually impaired person has shared a video of how they use their iPhone, including with a braille keyboard.
We all take it for granted that we can look down at our iPhones and use them without giving it much of a second thought. But not everyone is that fortunate and whether your eyesight is beginning to fail or you're legally blind, accessibility tools are vital. Apple has a great track record in terms of accessibility and the iPhone and one visually impaired person took to Twitter to show how it all works.
Kristy Viers posted a video to Twitter yesterday in which she shows how she navigates around her iPhone's Home screen and launches apps. She even shows us how she types on her iPhone and, honestly, I'm blown away.
It's truly amazing to see an iPhone used in this way and while I'm sure Apple could still do more, I'm glad there are ways for people of all levels of sight to enjoy iPhones. But if there's one thing this video does show it's that we probably get a little too hung up on whether an icon perfectly aligns with some text or if that new Slack icon is the exact color we'd like.
We should probably just be happy we can see well enough to argue about it.

Building on the success of the 2012 summer Math Academy, Corvallis High School will again offer the program to students who need extra assistance to make up math credits.
With funding from the Schools Foundation Innovation Grants, CHS students will have the opportunity to earn math credits this summer, rather than having to wait until the fall to work on their math skills and make up lost credits. Last year’s program had 32 student participants earning a total of 18 math credits. A certified teaching position was funded by the Innovation Grant, saving the Corvallis Public Schools the equivalent of .17 FTE, a payroll equivalent of nearly $10,000. See the story in the Corvallis Gazette Times.

Here is a tutorial in the very basics of flight...
THIS IS ONLY A GUIDELINE FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF TECHNIQUE TO THE NOVICE. THEREFORE I CAN NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DOOMED FLIGHTS YOU MAY ATTEMPT FROM THESE INSTRUCTIONS. HOWEVER,WITH BASIC KNOWLEDGE, A FLIGHT CAN BE PERFORMED FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS
To begin to comprehend flight, you need to know the basic physics of aeronautics. The most important part of the airframe is the wing, which produces lift via the airfoil. The airfoil simply directs airflow. The length of the top of the wing in relation to the bottom is longer , making the air flow faster over the top to catch up to the air coming from the bottom. This action reduces pressure on the top, providing lift. This lift is utilized by the engine, which spins a propeller to pull the aircraft through the air. Being pulled through the air, the wing receives a constant airflow, keeping the plane aloft. Controlling your plane is done with three control surfaces- elevator, aileron, and rudder. These surfaces cause the craft to: pitch (up or down), roll (left or right), and yaw (left or right), respectively. With this in mind, you can understand the principles of a typical flight profile.
To start off, you need to familiarize yourself with the controls. On a standard four-channel radio, the left stick is throttle (up and down), and rudder (left and right). On the other side there's the ailerons (left and right) and elevator (up and down). As a student, half to three quarter throttle is plenty for stable flight. The most important thing to keep in mind is not to over-steer. It only takes minimal stick movement to get maximum plane movement, and over-steering is the leading cause of first time crashes. The more you fly, the better you'll be with the sticks, and it's time to fly.
Practice Makes Perfect...
Once on the runway, it is a good idea to taxi ("drive") the plane on the ground to get a feel for its ground handling characteristics. A common practice for this is to advance the throttle and try to taxi straight down the runway for one hundred feet. After a good straight run, close the throttle and bring the plane back around. Do this until you are comfortable on the ground! Once you feel comfortable with this skill, it's time to take off.
The most important part of takeoff is starting off straight down the runway. This eliminates the need for much of the usual steering. Take off only takes five to ten seconds, so you need to be alert and anticipate every move.
First, advance the throttle to full speed. The plane will start off slowly, and will gather speed. As it reaches full speed, start to ease the elevator back. Keep applying elevator until the nose lifts. When the nose lifts, keep the elevator in the attitude, applying more if needed. This will set your craft into a shallow climb to allow for acceleration. This first climb needs to be shallow, because a low speed stall (which is hard to correct) may occur in a steep low speed climb. Now the fun begins!
Once airborne, you need to establish a pattern (left or right turns). Reason for this is that you need to fly the plane; you can't let it fly you. Make all of your turns deliberate, creating wide ovals with round corners.
The key to turning is the proper mix of aileron and elevator. Begin a corner with minimal aileron and slowly add elevator in. Using the elevator in this manner maintains altitude while making the turn look smooth. As you come out of the corner into the straight corridor, the wings need to be leveled out. This is accomplished by banking opposite the corner very slightly. To gain altitude, use up elevator; to lose altitude and gain speed, use down elevator.
As you fly around and get comfortable, aerobatics become possible. The five basic aerobatic maneuvers are as follows: slow rolls, snap (fast) rolls, stalls (vertical flight to apogee), inverted flight (flying while upside down), and vertical flight (tricks performed while going straight up). Certain elements of the aforementioned can be combined to execute such maneuver as the Immelmann and the Split-S (vertical turnarounds), Tailslides and Hammerheads (stall maneuvers), Cuban-Eights, and Lomcevaks, to name a few.
Perhaps the hardest element to master quickly is landing. The most important component to consider is the approach. Your approach should be very shallow, and centered over the runway. As you bank the final corner, level the wings and close the throttle. As the engine idles, the plane will begin to lose altitude. This is good and your job is to keep the wings level while maintaining a shallow glide. If the plane doesn't maintain a proper descent, trouble will occur. This is why you need to "mind the nose". The nose tells the story- too high will cause a stall; too low increases speed and cause a dive. The final hundred feet of the approach are vital. Once over the runway, with an altitude of about five feet, the angle needs to be very shallow. Within thirty feet, your altitude will be two feet or less. Now is the time to "flair". Flairing is the use of up elevator to raise the nose so that the main gear will touch down first (to absorb impact). As the nose gear settles down, it becomes a ground steered model again. Guide the plane back to you, and this completes your flight.
Congratulations! You are now a pilot. Accomplishing your first solo flight is a memorable achievement that any seasoned flyer remembers as though it was yesterday. As sure as you were nervous in the beginning, you'll become a better pilot with every flight. Once you're comfortable with flying (taking off, flying controlled patterns, and taking off) let loose- have a ball! Try different tricks, landing techniques, or maneuvers. Just remember that what makes R/C a hobby is your enjoyment of it. Have fun!

The best credit repair service includes credit education tools that help you maintain your improved credit once it’s repaired. Credit coaching helps you better understand how different decisions affect your creditworthiness. Many credit restoration companies provide credit score simulators to see how specific actions are likely to affect your credit score. Financial education tools help you better manage your future credit profile after your reports are cleaned up and your score is improved.
Will you get effective credit repair services from Credit Assistance Network? Their reputation is puzzling. On the one hand, they've been in the industry for more than 10 years and have only positive reviews on the Better Business Bureau website - and yet, their rating with the BBB is only a mediocre "C+". We also felt misled by the CAN website, which said that their rating was a flawless "A+". Can you trust a company to repair your credit if, from the very start, they're not fully honest with their own reputation?
Some of your creditors and lenders might report only to one of the credit bureaus. And, since credit bureaus don’t typically share information, it’s possible to have different information on each of your reports. Ordering all three reports will give you a complete view of your credit history and let you repair your credit at all three bureaus instead of just one.
You can also pause your membership with just a click of a button in your online portal, along with being able to cancel at any time. Best of all, Sky Blue offers the only condition-free guarantee among credit repair services: within the first 90 days of your subscription, you can cancel for any reason and get a full refund of anything you've paid up until that point.
The offers that appear on Credit.com’s website are from companies from which Credit.com receives compensation. This compensation may influence the selection, appearance, and order of appearance of the offers listed on the website. However, this compensation also facilitates the provision by Credit.com of certain services to you at no charge.

Users must be at least 18 years of age to be eligible for financial offers as per the terms presented on provider websites.
When considering the fees, it’s important to weigh what you’re getting in return. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), credit repair firms can’t legally do anything for you that you can’t do for yourself. You just have to be willing to spend the time reviewing your credit reports for negative or inaccurate information, reaching out to the credit bureaus to dispute that information, and following up on those disputes to make sure they’re being investigated.
Credit repair services: Credit Saint’s services are broken up between three different packages: Credit Polish, Credit Remodel and Clean slate. All three packages include help with items such as late payments, identity theft, charge-offs, collections and inquiries. Items like bankruptcies, repossessions and judgments are available on the higher-tier plans. Clean Slate is their most aggressive plan.
eCreditAttorney's pricing is simple: $29 per month. For that fee, your credit repair service should include addressing late payments, collections, bankruptcies, tax liens, repossessions, judgments, foreclosures, charge-offs, garnishment, even identity theft/fraud. You're expected to provide a current copy of your most recent, updated credit report; it's not included with the fees that you pay. Side note: the link provided by eCreditAttorney for their "preferred credit score provider" took us to an invalid page - not very encouraging.
If you pay a charge-off in full, your credit report will be updated to show the account balance is $0 and the account is paid. The charge-off status will continue to be reported for seven years from the date of charge off. Another option is to settle charge-offs for less than the original balance if the creditor agrees to accept a settlement and cancel the rest of the debt.
"Since I reached adult hood my credit has been poor due to having a serious medical condition and being raised in a struggling family without proper medical insurance. Even though I've worked hard my whole life I could never get a handle on my credit situation and never had the opportunity to prove my credit worthiness. Desperate to have good credit I've been taken by scams promising to clean my credit up and after thousands of dollars I've seen no change. Reluctantly I allowed CreditRepair.com to help me with their promise to clean my credit up and they are doing just that! In just a couple months they've proven they stand by their word! My credit score has jumped from the very weak 400's to 620 and they're not done yet! Finally I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Thank you, CreditRepair.com!"
If you'd like to get a feel for what to expect from The Credit Pros, you can get a free credit score and summary, along with an action plan, by entering your name, number, and email address. You'll then be contacted for your free initial consultation. We found some customers who described that experience as frustrating, with representatives who spoke too fast and didn't take the time to answer questions - but since it's free, there's no risk for you to give it a try for yourself.
Many credit repair leads fall flat when too much time is invested trying to acquire the client. Through the ability to digitally sign credit repair agreements, your company can keep a stronger hold on your potential client’s attention. Advanced setting management: TurboDispute software provides separate settings to control different aspects of your business. You have dashboards for Customer Management, Referral Management, Affiliate Management, Account Management and Dispute Letter Management as well as Software Customization.
Then clean slate credit consultants in Florida. Branded as the donkey show. Priced at $59 to $25 and some pricing between $40 and $10 depending on who it is. Truly the best prices and the most unconventional website anywhere. Not for everyone. I was shocked but I figured it out. No upfront costs and they don't bill a credit card which I like. Google reviews rank at 200+. Impressive in this day and age.
The honest answer? Yes, and no. Credit repair is a great way to improve your credit score, if the problem is caused by a disputable error. If your credit score is poor because of a giant pile of debt — debt that you legitimately owe — then credit repair may not be the right solution. Determining which path to take will be based upon those considerations as well as any other factors that may be unique to your situation — and this is something only you can decide.
Digging around a little more, though, we were left with some question marks. First, several places on the site refer to a 6-month, prepaid package plan that comes with a 6-month guarantee but this isn't listed on the Pricing page. Then, we were happy to see lots of informative articles on the Credit Resource Section - but disappointed to find that the Regulations page was totally blank.
"I’ve been with credit repair for 3 months and I’m truly amazed of what they have done by far. I still have some challenges but by far I’m impressed and satisfied as to what they have done now. I promised to be more responsible when this road is over and I’m so happy that I’m getting a second chance to prove I’m credit worthy instead of a flake. Thank you CreditRepair.com."

A terrifying but increasingly common issue in the UK are sinkholes. A second series of Channel 5's Sinkholes programme is examining what happens when the pipes, tunnels and waterways that lie beneath our feet start to crumble.
Once-stable areas can literally fall into the ground thanks to natural movement below the earth. A particular issue is in areas where historic coal mining was carried out and old mineshafts move, causing sinkholes to suddenly appear.
Subsidence threat increased
In the latest C5 series, the Sinkholes team looked at incidents across the UK, including examining a sinkhole that suddenly appeared in Birmingham, caused by old mineworks. Where one hole has already appeared, the risk of further subsidence is greatly increased, and that's a serious worry for householders and the authorities.
Homeowners who want to sell their home may find it almost impossible to find a buyer if the area is known to be prone to sinkholes, while buyers need to do their homework thoroughly to rule out any potential subsidence.
Incidents covered in Sinkholes episodes include a homeowner's plan to sell her home, which was scuppered by a nearby mine shaft. The long-term impact of chalk mining and its effect on the livelihood of a family in Bury St Edmunds was also investigated.
Data maps hazardous areas
Home buyers who want to know what risk there is to their potential new home from sinkholes or ground collapse can rest easy. One of the optional searches our conveyancing solicitors offer is a Ground Stability Report that combines the official CON29M search with data from the British Geological Survey (BGS).
The Ground Stability report will highlight specific information on the potential hazards from natural subsidence, while using comprehensive data to identify the known and suspected risks associated with the UK's coal mining industry.
Talk to our expert team now on for more information on the Ground Stability Report. You can also get an instant quote for conveyancing services that will outline the potential costs and searches involved.
Sinkholes is shown on Channel 5 on Tuesdays at 9pm. Catch up on previous episodes at My5
