When it was announced prior to North Carolina’s game against Texas on Wednesday night that senior guard Leslie McDonald was eligible to play, many wondered when there would be a decision regarding the status of junior guard P.J. Hairston. However unlike McDonald, North Carolina had yet to apply for reinstatement on Hairston’s behalf, instead continuing to evaluate his case.
On Friday the school announced that it has made the decision to not take that step, and as a result Hairston’s career at North Carolina has come to an end.
“Unfortunately P.J. made a number of mistakes that placed his eligibility at risk and the University’s joint review with the NCAA made it clear that seeking reinstatement for P.J. would not be possible,” director of athletics Bubba Cunningham said in the release. “The University thanks him for his contributions to Carolina Basketball.
“We also want to thank Coach Williams for the way in which he has held the team together over the early stages of this season despite not having two veteran players and for the level of care and concern he has for the young men on his team,” continued Cunningham. “We are glad that Leslie McDonald was reinstated and look forward to watching his Tar Heel teammates and him compete the rest of this season.”
In two seasons at North Carolina Hairston averaged 10.0 points and 3.2 rebounds per game, scoring a team-high 14.6 points per game as a sophomore. With Reggie Bullock moving on to the professional ranks Hairston was expected to be a major piece for the Tar Heels thanks to his scoring ability. But thanks to a series of missteps off the court Hairston found himself suspended indefinitely.
Hairston did what head coach Roy Williams required of him punishment-wise and was able to regain his spot on the roster, but doing that and convincing the NCAA that he should be eligible to play are two entirely different things. North Carolina came to that conclusion, and on Friday they announced that they’ll be moving forward with the players they currently have.
“Since summer, P.J. has been outstanding with our basketball program and with his schoolwork. He went through an extremely intense conditioning program with flying colors,” Williams said of Hairston in the statement. “He has been called a ‘perfect teammate’ by one of our other players. He has dominated our practices and at times has been as good as any perimeter player I have ever coached, giving great effort to help our team. He cares deeply about Carolina and the basketball program.
“P.J. has learned from this experience and will continue to grow as a player and adult. I will support him and help him as much as I possibly can as he enters this next phase of his life and basketball career.”
North Carolina hosts Davidson on Saturday afternoon. The Tar Heels have relied on sophomore Marcus Paige for much of their perimeter scoring through ten games, J.P. Tokoto has shown signs of improvement and the return of McDonald should give them another scorer as the season wears on. If anything, the fact that they’ve already played ten games without Hairston means that the Heels have already been getting used to not having him on the floor.

New research suggests that legalizing cannabis at the federal level could help mitigate sales of high-potency cannabis products, which can be harmful to overall health.Federal decriminalization would mean states could set their own cannabis laws, but some states may not set a limit on the amount of THC that can be included in products.According to experts, a universal THC limit on products in all states could be an effective solution.
According to the researchers, federal legalization of cannabis would provide an opportunity to establish regulations that better protect public health.
In a white paper published July 18, researchers at the University of Southern California’s Leonard D. Schaeffer Center for Health Economics and Policy outlined several potential policies the federal government could enact if it decriminalizes cannabis.
This includes putting limits on the amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive compound in cannabis, that can be included in products and restricting how much people can buy at one time based on the amount of THC in the product.
Other policies include taxing cannabis products based on potency instead of weight or retail price, and tracking all cannabis or hemp from cultivation to sale as a product.
A July 2022 study published in The Lancet Psychiatry suggests that people who use higher potency cannabis have a higher risk of developing a cannabis use disorder. They are also more likely to suffer from a psychotic disorder, such as schizophrenia.
According to the USC white paper, other research has shown that state-level cannabis legalization is linked to an increase in cannabis-related emergency room visits by children and adolescents, and an increase in driving cannabis-related impairment.
“A public health approach to cannabis regulation is to incentivize users in a way that maximizes benefits and minimizes harms.” Rosalie Liccardo PaculaPhD, a senior fellow at the USC Schaeffer Center and the Elizabeth Garrett Chair in Health Policy, Economics and Law at the USC School of Public Policy, Price told Healthline.
Pacula added that a public health approach to how cannabis products are sold and developed is “aware that higher levels of THC induce more impairment and more health risks.”
In the United States, cannabis is illegal at the federal level, although many states have passed laws allowing it medical and/or recreational use of cannabis.
A bill presented to the US Senate on July 21 would decriminalize cannabis at the federal level and allow states to set their own cannabis laws. Other bills in the House and Senate are pending.
While this may seem like a positive development for cannabis enthusiasts, Pacula expressed concern. “If the federal government legalizes cannabis without putting a [THC] none, we’ll never have one,” he said. “The only states that have established potency limits have been the states that did it when they first legalized cannabis.”
Current state cannabis laws vary in terms of purchase quantity limits and potency limits. For example, Vermont i Connecticut are the only states that have established THC potency limits for both cannabis flower and concentrates, according to USC researchers.
Pacula said the limits set by those two states are “probably reasonable for the US market, although they may still be too high.” But I’m fine with letting it be, rather than not setting any boundaries at all.”
Additionally, she and her colleagues point out that most states that limit cannabis sales do so based on the weight and type of product rather than the amount of THC the product contains. This allows people to buy a large amount of higher potency cannabis products at once.
The policies the USC researchers outline in the white paper would discourage excessive use of cannabis, particularly the use of higher THC products such as cannabis edibles and concentrates.
“Right Now [cannabis] flower is the main product that is sold, but we are seeing a big shift to vape oil concentrates, while edibles have stabilized in the market,” Pacula said.
Although the policies outlined in the white paper focused on the THC content of cannabis products, Liz Roganfounder of The Cannabis Business Council of Santa Barbara County, said this misses the role that different components of cannabis may play in the intoxicating or other effects of these products.
Pacula stressed, however, that the standards should be adjusted as additional scientific data becomes available about the risks associated with different doses of THC. These policy updates could also take into account new science about the effects of other components of cannabis.
“It took us decades to understand alcohol and what a standardized drink was,” Pacula said. “So we should set these limits and wait at least 5 years before adjusting them because it will take time for the science to come out.”
R. Lorraine Collins, PhD, professor and associate dean for research at the University at Buffalo’s School of Public Health and Health Professions, supports the policies proposed in the white paper. He said setting THC limits for cannabis products and taxing products based on THC content would be easy to implement, calling those strategies an “excellent start.”
For a THC limit to work to be effective, Collins said laws would have to limit the potency of all cannabis products, including those that come directly from the cannabis plant and those derived from hemp or cannabis.
“The cannabis industry is very smart,” he said. “One of the things they do is if you say you’re going to limit the potency of cannabis flower, they’re going to increase the potency of other cannabis products. So the key is to limit THC in ‘all cannabis products.’
He also said the laws should be broad enough to cover cannabis products developed in the future.
As for individual limits on cannabis purchases, Collins expressed some reservations about the policy, as the US does not have similar limits for other adult-use products such as alcohol and tobacco.
Rogan agreed: “This is an adult we’re talking about. This is someone who should be able to make their own decisions,” he said. “It really comes down to personal choice – you have it [the] freedom to do what you want; we expect you to be responsible.”
Also, Collins said, individual purchase limits may not be very effective. “What prevents a person from switching from a retail outlet?” she said “You could accumulate a lot of cannabis that way, even if there’s a limit to how much you can buy at one time.”
Rogan is also concerned about the impact a cap on THC limits and purchase limits may have on people who use cannabis to treat medical conditions.
“When you’re treating cancer or chronic pain, you often need high doses of THC,” he said. “So it is only fair that this person should go to the [cannabis] dispensary every day and buy more often because they can’t buy the products in concentrated form?
While states like Connecticut and Vermont have stricter limits on THC content, the USC researchers argue that federal regulation would ensure that public health is protected equally across the country.
“You don’t encourage good cannabis industry standards by letting states vary these limits,” Pacula said. “It will be much easier to do it at the federal level.” A federal limit, he added, would only set the maximum potency for cannabis products. States could have more restrictive laws.
Additionally, there is now precedent for the federal government to regulate the maximum THC content of cannabis products.
“The FDA, which finally got the go-ahead to regulate nicotine products, is able to do things like set a limit on the amount of nicotine in cigarettes or remove certain types of tobacco flavors,” Collins said.
Collins noted that having different cannabis laws in each state, particularly THC limits, could lead people in places with more restrictive laws to buy cannabis in neighboring states with more lenient regulations. Something similar happened before all states set age 21 as a minimum age to consume alcoholshe said
Still, Collins said many people will be drawn to the legal cannabis market for what it offers: being able to buy products that are safe and contain exactly what they’re supposed to.
“You don’t have to worry about whether your weed is cut with fentanyl or some other drug that can hurt you,” he said. “You also don’t have to worry about bad cultivation leading to mold that could hurt you when you smoke cannabis.”
New research makes a compelling case for regulating cannabis at the federal level. Decriminalizing cannabis could help limit the sales and use of high-potency cannabis products, which studies have shown pose dangers to human health.
However, even with federal legalization, experts like Collins and Rogan say that setting limits on THC could still push consumers to buy higher-potency products on the illicit cannabis market.
“If people are concerned about young people, especially men 26 and under, using THC-rich products, the legal system will be better off,” Rogan said. “Because at least they know what they’re getting there versus if they’re getting a product on some street corner.”

Businesses and shops play a vital role in breathing life into our local areas. The recession has taken its toll on chains like Woolworths and Threshers, but there are areas in the Borough that have suffered in the good times. Big companies like Canon, Homebase and recently Zurich Insurance have moved out of the borough to go somewhere that offers them more, in their bid to remain competitive. Small shops have also gone, leaving empty shells behind. Wallington Square has had several empty shops for nearly two decades. North Cheam is scarred by the eyesore that is Victoria House. South Sutton has another landmark building, Sutherland House that is gradually crumbling with the retailers below struggling to attract sufficient numbers.
Sutton High Street has been allowed to develop without a tight strategy. You know that the target market of the High Street has changed when Poundland gets undercut by the 99p store. It is not all about Sutton. The Borough is made up of a collection of villages each with their own characteristics, all surrounding the busy town centre. These villages each need a solid plan to make the most of their features.
A Conservative Council will not be satisfied with a strategic plan for the borough. We will aggressively market the borough to businesses and retailers, actively encouraging the businesses that residents want to see and use, to come to the Borough. We will tackle the landmark buildings that are falling into disrepair. They are the first view of the Borough that many visitors see. We will ensure that easy and affordable ‘stop & shop’ parking is available in our smaller High Streets to attract passing trade for smaller shops, working with local businesses to involve them in a sustainable solution to parking issues. Finally, we will use planned changes to Business Rates under a Conservative Government as a marketing tool to give incentives to businesses to relocate and send a clear signal that Sutton is open for business.
Our Commitment: We will actively approach and encourage businesses to come to Sutton and will ensure that affordable ‘stop & shop’ parking is available in our smaller High Streets.

But Saturday night, August 1, 2015, something different unfolded. Images of mammals and sea creatures were projected onto the south facade of the iconic skyscraper to draw attention to global conversation about mass extinction, according to the building's management.
Empire State Realty Trust partnered with filmmaker Louis Psihoyos, an Academy Award winner and the co-founder of Oceanic Preservation Society.
The video projection began at 9 p.m. and ran through midnight.

Republicans are dismissing the mounting call to thoroughly investigate the Trump campaign’s connection with Russian intelligence, and party leadership is seemingly pushing for members to fall in line behind the president amid growing outrage.
House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) on Wednesday accused Democrats of “politicizing” the issue and told Politico he would not alter the panel’s ongoing Russian probe.
“The Democrats can play their politics all they want; they’re welcome to do that, this is Washington,” Nunes said. “But as far as I’m concerned, we will continue to investigate the Russian activity like we’ve done for many years.”
Nunes and ranking committee Democrat Adam Schiff, also of California, announced plans in January to investigate Russia’s alleged influence on the 2016 election—but that was before President Donald Trump’s national security adviser Michael Flynn stepped down over reports that he had secretly been in touch with Russian diplomats.
Now, Nunes says he will not form a select committee to look into the allegations specifically, despite a growing demand, telling Politico, “There is not going to be one; I can tell you there is absolutely not going to be one. And I am not going to be lectured by people who are speaking out of both sides of their mouths.”
According to reporters John Bresnahan and Rachael Bade, “several senior House Republicans and GOP sources privately echoed those comments,” even as some party leaders, like Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, have publicly stated plans to look into alleged Russian involvement in Trump’s 2016 campaign.
Brenahan and Bade write:
Another senior House Republican who did not wish to be named downplayed the need for further action in the House to investigate the matter. While the source said “there is great angst and concern about this amongst members,” he added that “there’s already an active investigation [of] the campaign in the intelligence community.”
Indeed, inoculating President Donald Trump from criticism and softening the severity of the accusations seems to be a central prescription in the House of Representatives. The source continued, “We support the president and we’re not flinching on this one.”
“[It’s] not a story playing back home. Our focus is on other issues; we have big agenda items we want to accomplish,” he said.
But the GOP’s tone has not sat well with progressives and advocacy organizations. The Los Angeles-based Courage Campaign on Wednesday called on Nunes to resign as chair, stating, “National security and the intelligence that protects the American people should never be subject to political partisanship. Nunes’ failure to take the allegations against Flynn seriously is proof positive that Nunes is either incapable or unwilling to do his job—and that is unacceptable.”
“With so much at stake, we need a Congress that will hold the members of the Trump administration accountable when they undermine and risk the security of the American people,” said Courage Campaign executive director Eddie Kurtz. “Nunes has proven that he is not up to the task.”
The House investigation is just one of several inquiries into what Trump knew about Flynn’s contact with Russian officials. Similar probes are underway in the Senate and among intelligence agencies.
However, as Ken Gude and Kate Martin write at Just Security, “the existence of such investigations is not sufficient grounds to determine that no special counsel is needed because questions have also been raised about the impartiality of the FBI Director and the Bureau which suggest the existence of a conflict.”
There is a case for a special prosecutor to look into Trump’s ties with Russia, they write, outlining numerous conflicts of interest that range from newly-confirmed Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ key role in the president’s campaign—the U.S. Department of Justice is charged with investigating members of the administration—to moves by the FBI that seem “calculated to be helpful to the Trump campaign and transition.”
“In sum, it is hard to imagine a case for concluding that these circumstances do not present both a conflict of interest and extraordinary circumstances,” Gude and Martin write. “These questions about the Trump administration also undermine public trust in the legitimacy of the government and democratic institutions and thus the public interest would be served by an outside independent and impartial Special Counsel conducting the investigation.”

Homework becomes a lot more difficult when you don't even have a home at all. In Clark County alone, there are over 6,000 homeless & disadvantaged high school students who are putting themselves through school without the stability of a place to call home. This is where Project 150 comes in, and you can help!
Project 150 is a non-profit organization that serves homeless teens in high school. Project 150 currently serves more than 6,000 high school students in need. 3,300 registered homeless and 3,100 non-registered homeless, displaced and disadvantaged high school students at 58 high schools in Southern Nevada.
They are helping these kids meet their basic needs of food, clothing, school supplies and ultimately, hope. These kids are true inspirations! They recognize that getting an education is their way to build a better life. Even without a home, they are driven and hardworking in order to meet their goals. These homeless high school kids could easily drop out and get into worse situations, but they are pressing on with hope of a new day.
SOS Family, let's bring these kids HOPE in a tangible way!
HUNGER: The first step in bringing hope to these kids is making sure that they are fueled up and ready to learn. As a homeless teen, they are well aware of how they might be perceived by their peers. So none of those who are homeless ever want to broadcast that information. With that said, easy and basic foods are what they ask for, and at the top of the list: Cup Noodles.
YOU SURPASSED THE GOAL!!!!: 4,000 cases of Cup Noodles 24/Pk - This amount of Cup Noodles is what will help sustain these teens throughout the entire school year. It's been proven as the top food item the kids accept or ask for.
Why Cup Noodles? Here's a quick list:

The Deputy Vice Chancellor Research, Innovation and Strategic Partnership, Professor Oluyemisi A. Bamgbose, has said that University of Ibadan (UI) had set to institute a structure to collaborate with Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to grow Nigeria’s economy.
Professor Bamigbose made this statement at the opening of 2-day SMEs Fair to kick-start the activities for the celebration of UI@75 and the 2024 Convocation and Foundation Day Ceremony.
Pro Bamgbose added that the move was in a deliberate attempt to achieve their roles as drivers of economic growth in Nigeria.
The Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor Kayode O. Adebowale expressed that as the University clocks 75, it was time to turn its researches into innovations and its innovations to Development.
He stated that research would be of no value if not used; hence the institution adopted at its theme, “Building a Global Community Beyond Borders.”
Professor Adebowale noted that the University was in an era of using cutting-edge research to drive development in all areas of human existence.
He said the SMEs Fair was a strategic market place where gown would meet the town/industry, idea could be cross-fertilized, investors could meet prospective end users with the possibilities of product refinement collaboration and development of understanding.
The VC added that UI was ready to transcend borders and break frontiers while adding value to the society in a bid to stimulate the SMEs.

nHance Technologies has published Power Plant Fundamentals: Fuels and Combustion (ISBN: 978-1-940143-08-8) an interactive electronic book designed for Apple’s iPad Devices.
Power Plant Fundamentals: Fuels and Combustion, is the eighth in a fourteen-book series by nHance Technologies. Fuels and Combustion begins with an introduction to the basic characteristics of fuels and combustion. Additional chapters discuss heat losses, practical applications for the reduction of these losses, and factors involved in achieving combustion efficiency. The book concludes by discussing the specifics of coal, fuel oil, and gas equipment, as well as their storage and transportation. As with all the books in this series, nHance provides end of chapter and summary review questions.
The Power Plant Fundamentals series provides a basic understanding of power plants by presenting an overview of what they do and how they work. While the Power Plant Fundamentals series primarily focuses on coal-fueled power plants, other plant types are introduced, and the shared characteristics are applicable to virtually all types of power plants. Interactive illustrations, various widgets, and section reviews are used throughout the series to provide a memorable, interactive, and user-friendly experience.
The Power Plant Fundamentals series of interactive books are available only on Apple’s iBook platform in over 50 countries. The iBook platform was selected over other ‘flat e-book’ formats due to the interactive features unique to Apple that allow for engaging the reader in unique and custom ways. nHance takes full advantage of these features with liberal use of interactive widgets, photo galleries, sidebars, linked glossaries of power plant related definitions, and end of chapter reviews.
Eight of the 14 Power Plant Fundamentals series of electronic books are available now directly on the Apple iBook store, and are priced between $4.99 and $6.99.

Tonight’s the night!
“I wanted it to be Molly Ringwald and Ducky [Jon Cryer],” show creator April Blair tells THR of Jane and Billy’s relationship. “There were no guidelines, I went with what worked for the story. I definitely tried to, in the high school world and the work world, create parallels. Thereâ€™s a mean girl in high school and the one at work, the cute boy in high school and the one at work.”
She continued, “The struggles Jane (Erica Dasher) has in high school, that helps her deal with the mean girl at work. Itâ€™s done in a microcosm of her living in those two worlds at the same time.”
Check out the opening sequence, plus some new stills from the show below!

The owner of Maxi Foods contacted I-5 Design looking for a new supermarket design with a unique visual theme and décor for his aging supermarket near Melbourne Australia. Because Maxi Foods is among several large grocery stores competing in a very small geographical area the task was to create a visual atmosphere to set the store apart from the competition making the store the destination of choice for the surrounding demographic. All of the elements in the supermarket design, blended together, created a finished look that the owner termed, “Fantastic! I love it!”.

My friend, Alicia, and I had tickets to see JT last Wednesday at MSG in New York. I’d never seen him perform in person and was probably more excited than I should have been for a 40-something mom of three.
I actually stressed about what to wear. I too carefully chose black jeans, a new shirt, boots, and lots of jewelry. I’m not sure who I was trying to impress. Ok, it was Justin. I actually caught myself thinking about what I would want to be wearing if I was hanging out with the pop star, instead of standing very, very far away from him in a dark stadium with 20,000 other screaming girls.
As soon as I got to Manhattan, Alicia emailed me to say that Justin was sick and had postponed the concert until Friday night.
When I got back to Penn at around 8pm Wednesday night to go home, there were dozens of girls standing around MSG in various states of shock and grief. Some were spewing obscenity-laced rants, others were crying. I somehow was able to hold myself together in the face of tragedy.
Friday night we geared up again for the show. Tickets say it starts at 8pm but he didn’t go on until 9pm. Our seats were ok, not great. We were up in the nosebleeds but close to the stage on his right side. We paid $166 each to see him this close.
But the way the show is designed, every section of the venue gets a little piece of Justin at some point. The stage is simple– no crazy sets or props– with split levels for him, his dancers, and his band, the Tennessee Kids. The backdrop is a giant video screen playing mostly black and white photos.
JT came out in a debonair white jacket tux, cut perfectly to his frame. He sang most of his hits — old and new– and glided along the stage looking as cool and classic as Clooney, moving as smoothly and skillfully as Michael.
After apologizing for missing Wednesday’s cancellation, he told the audience, “I love you New York. I can’t give you some half-ass shit tonight!”
Justin’s one of the most compelling performers I’ve ever seen. He’s insanely talented, and seems authentic in everything he does. He’s working it, but he’s laughing and having fun. He moves with such ease, you can’t take your eyes off him. The numbers didn’t seem choreographed down to the minute. He jumped in and out of moves with his dancers, and they all seemed to riff singing and dancing throughout the show.
He played for over an hour before taking a 10 minute intermission. When he returned after the break, he was singing on one of the levels of the stage– a long bridge-like platform– when it began to rise high above the audience, and proceeded to slowly travel over the crowd from the stage up front to the back of the stadium.
As it moved, Justin danced and strolled from one side to the other so he could wave and shake hands with fans all along the way.
There were no bars on this platform so one false move and he could have been a Timberlake pancake.
There were many highlights. He wooed us with New York, New York with extra swagger. The energy in the stadium was electric during Sexy back and Mirrors, but I also loved his acoustic, slowed-down version of What Goes Around Comes Around, and the fun cover of Elvis’ Heartbreak Hotel.
He strummed a guitar and tickled the ivories with equal flair, and made me hear pop radio songs with new ears by giving them texture. I can’t tell you how many times listening to the sultry lyrics of Future Sex Love Sounds blaring in my iPod has gotten me through a long run.
I’m not gonna lie, hearing it live made me tingly.
I guess I’m gushing but I can’t help it. JT puts on a great show and we were all a little lovestoned. (Click here for crappy quality video of TKO taken on my iPhone!)
Alicia and I were completely amused by the 20-somethings smoking pot and pounding beers around us. One hilarious guy clearly came with his girlfriend and started out skeptical. But after just a few songs we heard him say to his male buddy, “I’m as straight as an arrow, but he’s pushing me into the gay center!!”

GUN SIGHTS FOR SALE
Gun sights are devices that aid in aiming firearms. The form of the sight is matched to the intended use. Iron sights are attached to, or integral with, the barrel, and provide basic aiming in daylight or an illuminated reticle can be projected onto the target by a laser. Rifle scopes can be adjusted for windage and elevation, generally using knobs on opposite sides of a rotating drum. Gun sights and optics are sold at our shop order now
Iron sights are the basic open iron sight a firearm has. They consist of two iron parts creating a straight line. The front sight is mounted at the muzzle end of the barrel and the rear sight is attached to the rear of the slide, frame or receiver. Front sights are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors while rear sights are generally rectangular with rounded corners.
Gun sights are familiar to all shooters, but they developed in many different forms. Front and rear iron sights can be used on pistols, but rifles have more complex systems with multiple sighting components Gun sights are used on every firearm that is fired with accuracy, including hunting and target rifles, shotguns, and handguns. They help the shooter aim properly and compensate for wind, gravity, and momentum.

FINALY SOMEONE GETS IT! And by “it” I mean “how the iPhone works with the world around it”
In my car I have a very nice Kenwood double-din system with DVD, Sat-Nav, Satellite radio and of course an iPhone doc. For the last two years however, I find myself almost never using anything on the system but the iPhone doc. This is because my iPhone does everything the Kenwood does and more. Think about this for a moment. The very nature of the iPhone replaces almost every single function of a high-end car head unit.
There have been “iphone compatible” head units as long as there has been an iPhone. But each of them tries to do there own “flavor” of iPhone interface, all of which frankly leave much to be desired. Finally there seems to be a company that is doing exactly what the iPhone needs, and that is to get out of the way and let the iPhone itself be the interface.
Hardware the iPhone lacks, such as AM/FM or Satellite receiver hardware, can be part of the head-unit, but still controlled via a software app.
I really hope this philosophy catches on and we see more companies building software interface for their products rather than trying to poorly reinvent the wheel.

WRAP, ISSUE 10, ‘INTO THE WILD’ is as bright and fun as a spring/summer edition can get. Featuring some amazing illustrations from a more focused choice of 5 illustrators (rather than the usual 10) on a theme that explores plants in all their weird and wonderful glory. A favourite being Pat Bradbury’s ‘How Does Your Garden Grow’ that shows off his irreverent collage style and punchy colours. This issue also includes an in depth look into the influence of the 1980’s designers involved in The Memphis Group on contemporary illustrators today. Marcello Velho further explores the influence through an illustrated essay containing some beautiful abstract images. This whole section is cleverly printed on a gloss stock, which perfectly suits the mood of The Memphis Group and adds a tactile quality to Marcello’s images.
EDWARD CHEVERTON, ‘Therapy’, 2014
Edward Chevertons ‘Therapy’ zine is a playful creation, that shows off his irreverent style both in format and content. Pages vary in sizes and colours, and the density of images runs amok. Sometimes a page will be full of characters, jumping and swinging in to every corner, whilst others will display, a solitary, proud figure drawn in Cheverton’s trademark naive style. ‘Therapy’ feels like stealing the kid at the back of the class’s notebook and getting more than you bargained for, but in a really good way. Check out more of Ed’s work here.

The fourth issue of Conjunction, an Oxford based publication, explores the theme of grief. Featuring 14 artists from varied practices including Alessandra Genualdo and Marianne Hallseth. Grief is risographed in black throughout with a thick black border on each page inspired by Victorian mouring stationary.
Esther McManus, ‘The Elder’, 2014, www.esthermcmanus.co.uk
Esther kindly gives the world her first foray into a full graphic novel with this excellently produced, risographed publication. Printed with two colours on some pretty great coloured stocks, and with a screen printed gate-fold cover making this is a immensely beautiful object.

ZELOOT, ‘Duotone’, 2013, Canada/ The Netherlands, www.zeloot.nl
MATTHEW WHITTINGTON, ‘The Fox’, 2013, UK. mathewwhittington.com
The fox describes itself as ‘a loose continuation of the 1970’s journal ‘The Fox’ produced by the artist collective Arts and Language’. This publication deviates from the original and uses the urban fox as a vehicle ‘to explore attitudes towards the city, culture, nature, labour, architecture and design.’
The content is varied and includes re-publications of material from the 19th-20th century and there is something purposefully chaotic in the design, a feeling that reflects the content well. Another thing that works well is that the cover is the same thickness as the inner pages, but with a gatefold adding a natural difference, this allows the book to have a flexibility that would be lost with a heavier cover.

The divider is what really makes these crates a great buy. We wanted to get a crate that our dog could move around in, so we actually got one that was two sizes too large - the "Intermediate" or 36-inch one. Our dog is a cockapoo that will be classified as "small" when he is fully grown, but obviously he is very tiny at only 8 weeks! This is where the divider comes in... We were able to make the usable portion MUCH smaller which is perfect for our puppy to snuggle up in. As he grows and gets house-trained, we will be able to move the divider further and further and eventually remove it completely... No need to keep purchasing larger crates because this one grows with our little guy!
This crate is a piece of junk -- literally. We bought it for our very calm and docile Irish Setter. In less than two hours, he had completely destroyed the gate and had the cheap bars pointing in every direction and was at the door to the garage to greet us. The spot welds were worthless as it came apart very easily. When I contacted the seller about the crate, they responded that they were sorry about problems with the "table" and would replace it if I paid to send it back! I wrote back that it was an inferior product, why would I want another one and that I expected a full refund and a return label. I even included pictures of the gate. Now they tell me that they won't take it back because it has been damaged?? HELLO! Why do you think I am returning it. I would not buy a single thing from this vendor -- RUN don't walk away from all their products!! I intend to call amazon directly about this vendor! In less than 2 hours it was destroyed!!
We purchased this crate as an economical way to move two cats across country. We're currently preparing to be moved by the military from the Raleigh, NC area to Las Vegas, NV. The military will move our house hold goods but not our vehicles or pets, which leaves us forced to move the cats by car and SUV. After researching airline tickets to fly the cats, we were looking at nearly $1,000 to move them. For this crate at less than $100, we're now looking at only a fraction of the cost.

New independent water project will have a capacity of 40 million gallons per day
Oman Power & Water Procurement Company (OPWP) plans to invite advisers to bid for a contract to work on its next independent water project (IWP) in October. The Quriyat IWP will have a capacity of 40 million gallons per day.
Another IWP is planned to follow the Quriyat project. Suwayq IWP will also have a capacity of 40 million gallons per day. OPWP is currently tendering an IWP at Ghubrah. Five financial bids were submitted in July.
Demand for water in the sultanate has increased at a faster pace than anticipated over the past year prompting a revision in Oman’s capacity-building plans and bring the projects forward.
OPWP expects water demand in the main interconnected system (MIS) to grow from around 163 million cubic metres in 2010 to 278 million cubic metres by 2017. In the Salalah system, OPWP expects water demand to increase from around 29.9 million cubic metres in 2010 to 50.9 million cubic metres in 2017, representing an average growth rate of 8 per cent.

Sometimes a book really strikes you out of the blue as something that is incredibly enjoyable. It almost feels luxurious to hop into bed to spend some time reading an unusual, enjoyable or sometimes just an easy read and interesting story type novel. I’ve already shared my secret love for The Southern Vampire series (True Blood and Sookie Stackhouse fame in case you’re wondering) , and occasionally I love novel that’s quick to read, and not to much of a stressful story (I needed a bit of a break after Norwegian Wood). So picked this up out of my monthly book buy.
It was incredible! Taking the Snow White story, and dropping it into Renaissance Italy – with Lucrezia Borgia becoming the wicked step-mother, and the apple is a part of the tree of life.
Without spoiling the story too much, I was drawn into following how this new Snow white was treated. The dwarves I think are some of the most unusual characters – not being your usual jolly short man (i.e. a miniature ginger comic relief santa – think gimli from the LOTR films) but much more organic than that. Built from stone, they are able to move and transform – which I think made the story so much more well – not realistic, but I guess great to see a completely different take on it.
With the step-mother (well, female who lived in the house) being based on a real person, I was intrigued to find out more about this mysterious woman, and were the family truly known for being poisoners?
I highly recommend this as a light fluffy read, while it’s dark in places (what true fairytale isn’t? And I don’t mean the disneyfied ones, check out the Brothers’ Grimm version of The Little Mermaid if you’re not sure what I’m talking about…) it’s really enjoyable!

Vitra Miniature Tulip chair, Saarinen: The Tulip Chair is one of a series of chairs, stools, and tables developed by Eero Saarinen within a five-year period. The characteristic feature of the series is that the supporting structure has been pared to a central supporting stem »like a wineglass« in order to emphasise the uniformity of table and chair.
Vitra Miniature Tulip chair, Saarinen: The Tulip Chair is one of a series of chairs, stools, and tables developed by Eero Saarinen within a five-year period. The characteristic feature of the series is that the supporting structure has been pared to a central supporting stem »like a wineglass« in order to emphasise the uniformity of table and chair. Eero Saarinen describes the Tulip Chair: »The bases of tables and chairs in a typical furniture arrangement create an ugly, confusing, and restless world. I wanted to design a chair as an integrated whole once again. All important furniture of the past always had a holistic structure, from King Tut’s chair to that of Thomas Chippendale. Today, we are parting ways with this holism with our predilection for plastic and laminated wood shells. I am looking forward to the point when the plastics industry will be capable of manufacturing the chair using just one material, the way I have designed it.« Lacquered polyurethane and aluminum.
The collection of the Vitra Design Museum en miniature: The Miniatures Collection of the Vitra Design Museum covers the most important pieces from the international history of design from 1850 up to the present. The construction, materials and colours of the miniatures correspond precisely to the historical original. Extensive development work was carried out to adapt the manufacturing techniques to the requirements of miniaturization. Because they are so true to the originals, the miniatures are not only collector’s objects for furniture enthusiasts, but also serve as ideal illustrative material for universities and design schools. At present, the collection encompasses 80 models on a 1:6 scale with further pieces being continually added. The models come in their own wooden box and are accompanied by a descriptive brochure with details on the design. Net proceeds from the sale of the miniatures go towards the exhibitions and workshops of Vitra Design Museum.
Miniaturization means concentration: Vitra Design Museum faithfully replicates furniture design classics in miniaturized three-dimensional form. Many of these designs, like the chaise longue by Le Corbusier or the red-blue chair by Gerrit Rietveld, are as widely known today as the most celebrated works of art and are coveted by museums and collectors the world over. These miniatures illustrate at a glance what design means and what role it plays in the industrial production process. The clear and concentrated world of the miniatures yields a fascinating reflection of the stylistic diversity of contemporary design and provides a unique way of accessing the history of furniture design.
The manufacture of the miniatures: Vitra Design Museum has one of the most renowned collections of industrial furniture design – from the infancy of industrial mass production in the mid-19th century through the designs of functionalistic Modernism up to the postmodern furniture objects of the present day. With its many exhibits, the collection provides us with an ideal base for developing new furniture miniatures. Model builders measure the historical original in the museum collection, scale this down to one sixth of the original size and compile technical documentation. Subsequently, materials and manufacturing techniques are tested over a period of several months: the shapes are formed, materials and processes are selected, art historical research on the objects is conducted and then the production sequences are defined.
All the products from Miliashop are original and they are covered by warranty.

In the latest in scientific experiments focused on getting at the you of you, scientists are analyzing dance moves to uncover people’s personalities, reports the Telegraph. Apparently the way in which you shake your groove thing to music reveals key truths about your character. Read on for your own dance-analysis!
After giving 900 people personality tests, the researchers took 60 volunteers who fit into one of the five main personality types: Extroverts, neurotics, agreeable personalities, open-minded people, and conscientious/dutiful types. Each of the volunteers then was asked to dance “spontaneously” to 30 tracks from various genres of music, including rock, techno, Latin, jazz, funk, and pop.
Each of them, predictably, turned out to showcase their own special dance style.
• Extroverts moved their bodies around most, using “energetic and exaggerated movements of their head and arms.”
• Neurotics danced in sharp, jerky, shall we say…neurotic?…movements. (Interestingly, “Rock music appeared to be the only genre that brought neurotics out of their shells; otherwise they tended to make small, nervous movements.”)
• Agreeable people did the “high school dance” dance, moving side to side while swinging their hands.
• Open-minded people stayed put more than the others but made rhythmic up-and-down movements.
• The conscientious/dutiful people moved around a lot, and “moved their hands over larger distances.”
This whole thing reminds us of the study that came out a while back that analyzed men’s dance moves with regard to finding a mate, in which the bigger, more aggressive movements were more appealing to the ladies. Which is all intriguing! Fascinating! And…wouldn’t it be simpler and also better for the knees just to have a conversation?
No, too easy.
This kid, by the way, seems to be still developing its personality. Which makes it an awesome dancer.
