Address: 100 Parnell Road, Parnell
We arrived to what almost seemed like a busy marketplace. We were impressed with the number of staff provided to cater for the masses – we counted at least 14 – and were especially impressed with their attire (striped shirts) which made them stand out. Despite the crowd, the waitress looking after seating guests was very much on the ball and quickly escorted us to our table. The interiors were fantastic and freshly baked delicacies were on show for all to see, and they seriously flirt with your taste buds! We really felt as though we were in a gourmet food market… the room was noisy and it is very hard to hear, but this all added to the ambience which we think the café is trying to achieve.
From porridge to french toast to smashed avocado’s on toast, the menu consists of well-known favourites which are made up of fresh produce and presented magnificently. The drinks menu is somewhat standard, however the food menu really does read well. Gluten free, vegan and vegetarian dishes are all clearly marked. The cabinet where you pay for your meals housed freshly baked pastries and sweets and these included chocolate paleo tart, white chocolate rocky road and melting moments.
We couldn’t go past the “Big Breakfast” which consisted of free range pork sausages, free range bacon, poached eggs, thyme mushrooms, artisan ciabatta bread, vine tomato’s pesto, and a light tomato based sauce (we couldn’t quite put our finger on it). We complimented our meal with an orange juice which was served with a purple flower on top – presentation was really impressive.
The size of our meal was substantial and the ingredients were superbly fresh. We felt that the sauce provided with the dish didn’t provide enough flavour – tomato chutney would have been a better option in our opinion. The dish was definitely a healthier take on a “big breakfast” and this was refreshing… hash browns were nowhere to be seen, the bacon wasn’t crispy and sausages weren’t fatty! We did think that a pinch of salt would have added to the dish and we’d highly recommend you add it prior starting your meal.
Another great brunch spot to add to Parnell’s growing offering. The presentation of the dishes really impressed us and the service was excellent – fast, friendly and helpful. The café is open for breakfast and lunch and if you’re meeting friends to catch-up, the acoustics aren’t very friendly during busy periods so do keep this in mind. We’re sure it would be a different experience visiting during off-peak times, or on weekdays, and we would recommend you do this… it may save your voice!

Live Life in Flip Flops was the first project I did when I got Couture ink. I was dying to try the ink and knew a beach towel was the perfect surface. I found a big beach towel with a carrying case set and had the idea of inking a pair of flip flops on the case as well. With the bright yellow towel, red seemed like the right colour choice as well.
This transfer was made for me. I absolutely Live Life in Flip Flops all summer long. Oddly, I never do that at a beach. Not a fan of the beach so I am not sure why I chose that surface. I thought the red would look great on the bright, lemon yellow and it did.
Ink is easier to use than paste. You do not have to worry as much about drying time because the ink does not lift with the transfer the way dry paste can. This makes it easier to work with fine detail and multiple colours. Ink designs are permanent once heat set.

Fuel prices unchanged for 9th day

In Mumbai, where petrol prices crossed Rs 100-mark for the first time ever on May 29, the fuel price is at Rs 107.83 per litre. Diesel price in the city is also at Rs 97.45, the highest among metros.

The stagnation in fuel price revision can be attributed to the global developments on oil production and rising US inventories which softened crude and product rates.
International crude prices declined around 10 per cent to $69 a barrel from a high of over $77 a barrel just a few weeks ago. Currently, the Brent crude is above $72 per barrel.
The oil marketing companies, however, stopped short of reducing the retail price of petrol and diesel as more time is required to study the oil price movement before any downward revision. Already, crude has firmed up in last few days and this could prevent decline in prices.
The over-a-week-long price pause comes after fuel prices increased on 41 days and remained unchanged on 44 days since May 1. The spikes took up petrol prices by Rs 11.44 per litre in Delhi, while diesel increased by Rs 9.14 per litre.
International oil benchmark Brent crude declined 0.51 per cent to $73.72 per barrel.

Apathy For The Devil
Silence brings the harshness of
The evil thoughts- destruction,
Sin is laced into your soul
And the blood just fills your hunger.
Let this menace eat your flesh
Drink the tears and sympathize,
Fight the pain and never rest
For the devil never dies.

September 7th constituent and public safety meeting and Voting to protect your PFD
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
I hope you’ve been having a wonderful summer! It’s been a few weeks since my last enews as we transitioned back to Anchorage, got unpacked, and resettled here. It’s so nice to be home!
Please save the date: September 7th Constituent & Public Safety Meeting
On Thursday, September 7th, Senator Begich and I will be hosting a fall constituent meeting from 6:00-8:00 pm at Clark Middle School. We want to provide you with a budget update as well as address neighborhood public safety concerns. We have several invited guests to answer questions. We want to have the right people so all of your questions can be answered. Below are the confirmed guest speakers at this time. We’ve also extended an invitation to the Mayor’s office.
Invited guests include:
Chief Justin Doll (Anchorage Police Department)
At the end of last month the Alaska Legislature passed a compromise capital budget that spends about $140M of state money to leverage about $1.2B in federal funds. I was a “no” vote on the capital budget because of the cut to the PFD. We know a “PFD cut only plan” harms working Alaskans the most and asks kids and Seniors on a fixed income to contribute more to the fiscal solution than the wealthiest Alaskans.
The main points of debate included the amount of the dividend check, funding for the AKLNG Project, and payments of oil tax credits. Funding for the AKLNG Project is becoming much harder to defend and public support has waned. Governor Walker said by this fall we would know if now is the time to move forward and time is running out for getting to a decision on moving forward. The House and Senate Resources Committees will get an update this fall that will inform our decisions going forward. Without definitive support for financing the project, we may have to wait until the conditions improve.
Oil credits were funded at the statutory level, another spending item I did not support. I could not support meeting the statutory minimum for oil credits if we also didn’t meet the statute for the PFD check.
DENOUNCING HATE AND RACISM
We are still struggling with the terrible tragedy of Charlottesville and it offers us a chance to reflect on where we are as a country and where we go as a community. Speaker Edgmon issued a statement following the tragic events. We stand together in calling for an end to hate, racism, and bigotry.
MOUNTAIN VIEW: MOST DIVERSE NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE US
We’d like to extend a huge thank you to Mayor Berkowitz’s office, the Anchorage Parks and Rec Department, and the Mountain View Community Council for working together on the new Mountain View gateway signage! It looks great and lets the world know what a diverse and inclusive neighborhood we’re proud to be a part of!
ALASKA HEALTH FAIR
The Alaska Health Fair has put out the fall dates for the Anchorage area! AHF is a nonprofit providing health fairs statewide since 1980. The health fairs being put on are educational events that provide affordable preventative testing and health screening to people in our community. They will be offering vision screenings, glaucoma screenings, comprehensive blood tests, blood typing, and much more. Here are the dates and times of the upcoming health fairs around town.
P.S. Please get in touch if we can be of assistance!

Bridge bearings are the structural members which are installed at the connection between superstructure and substructure of a bridge, thus it is crucial to maintain bearing functions as structural members. If bearing functions are declined, it is possible for the structure of the whole bridge to be changed and have an effect on functions of superstructure and substructure. Thus, maintaining functions of bearings is not negligible. Generally, “Visual inspection” is indicated as a standard method. However, it is difficult to evaluate the deterioration degree of bearing functions with “Visual inspection” only. Therefore, we have studied to establish a qualitative evaluation method regarding basic functions required for bridge bearings as structural members based on measuring displacement and strain. In this study, measuring displacement and strain in the bridge in service was carried out, and evaluating the deterioration degree of bearings with the evaluation method proposed was attempted.

It’s a challenge, but a good challenge. Which of four trends that are powering the exchange-traded fund industry is going to be the most powerful?
Trend trackers: panellists discuss the areas with the greatest potential. (From left to right) Rachel Lord, Isabelle Bourcier, Fannie Wurtz, Deborah Yang and Sau Kwan
That was the question facing a big-name panel at the ninth annual Inside ETFs conference in Amsterdam on June 14. It’s a sign of the industry’s almost boundless potential for growth beyond its current global $ 3.1 trillion that the speakers struggled to agree on which factor was going to be most beneficial.
The first force that could produce a surge in assets is robo-advice – systems that could analyse retail clients’ savings needs and risk profiles and generate custom portfolios built out of ETFs. Already being offered by startups such as Nutmeg, there’s potential for a real lift-off if big banks or asset managers wade in. Panel moderator Deborah Fuhr, managing director and founder of ETFGI, asked the leaders how they saw the latest disruptor to the finance industry working for ETFs.
Rachel Lord, head of Emea for BlackRock’s iShares, the biggest ETF provider in the region, said: “Robo-advice will fill a gap and we think it is a good thing. Using scale and technology, it will reduce the cost of advice for clients.”
Isabelle Bourcier, global head of ETF and index solutions at BNP Paribas, said: “I am a strong believer in robo-advice. It is a good way to access investment options. When I see how retail investors are served at the moment, it’s a pity. For many of them, robo is the only way they can access advice.”
Bourcier said robo-advisers were another distribution platform for ETFs that would help drive products, which had traditionally been the domain of the institutional market, towards retail customers.
However, Fuhr asked the panel if they were concerned that customers would not trust computers with their financial health.
Lord said: “If people do not completely trust a computer, it is probably a good thing. I think we will end up with a hybrid model based on an algorithm for asset allocation, but customers will still want to speak to someone they can trust.”
Away from retail investment, Fannie Wurtz, managing director in indexing and smart beta at Amundi, said ETF providers had a challenge to get existing institutional investors to adapt how they used these vehicles – another area of growth potential.
Wurtz said: “Some 70% of 200 institutional investors in Europe use ETFs, we need to work with them to change some of the tools they currently use and replace them with ETFs.”
Wurtz said these investors had traditionally purely invested in equities and bonds through these index-based products, whereas there was a growing argument for them to swap out some of their derivatives and hedging tools – such as futures – and replace them with ETFs. She added that some had already started to switch.
Product innovation would be key to accessing new areas of an existing client’s portfolio – as well as attracting new ones – the panel agreed, and with active managers’ performance often falling below expectations, the time is right to pounce.
Smart beta – creating products that are based on non-standard indices that aim to outperform because of market inefficienies – has become the hot sector for ETF innovation, with “phenomenal” inflows, according to Deborah Yang, managing director and head of index, Emea, at MSCI. She said: “Some $ 11 billion has flowed into smart beta ETFs, year to date, and the approach has been outperforming.”
Fuhr said some $ 400 billion was invested through smart beta ETFs globally. The first of these products was launched 14 years ago in the US, with Europe following suit in 2011 through a launch by provider Ossiam, for which Bourcier worked at the time.
Yang said: “It has given every investor the choice and access to a tool that was a staple for active managers.”
Lord at BlackRock’s iShares, which appointed Andrew Ang, professor of business at Columbia Business School, to lead its smart beta strategy in 2015, said it was a “better way of asset management and the way of the future”.
Wurtz at Amundi said despite flows out of some strategies, smart beta ETFs had retained more investor assets than others. Certainly, there were more conference sessions dedicated to the topic than any other strategy.
Another growing theme for ETF providers to engage with was investing according to environmental, social and corporate governance guidelines, according to the panel.
Yang at MSCI said this type of investing had traditionally turned off most investors as it had involved mainly negative screening – a simple business of screening out stocks that failed to meet guidelines – but the approach had become more attractive as they had realised there were more options available. By using an ETF, investors can see exactly what they hold and are able to set specific rules based on their own views.
Yang said: “Investors have realised that an ESG approach doesn’t hurt returns and can actually raise alpha. There is evidence that it has outperformed regular investment approaches, which means your investments can be value and financially driven.”
Bourcier at BNP Paribas said: “It’s a long-term trend. Institutional investors are buying these products, which helps the market to progress.”
Finally, Sau Kwan, president at E Fund Management, the third largest investment house in China, explained the importance of the Chinese pension market to ETF providers searching for new assets.
Kwan said: “In its 11-year history, the Chinese ETF sector has gathered $ 73 billion in 131 products. These assets are mainly in equities and some fixed income products – we have a long way to go in development.”
China offers huge growth potential, however, following the reform of its pillar-one pension system.
Kwan said: “Pillar-one pensions can only invest in bank deposits or government debt, but this is changing. They will be allowed to equities and ETFs. If even just 10% of the billions made available head to ETFs, it will be a huge thing. We have been waiting a long time for pensions to be able to invest in A-shares and now ETFs. It will improve the overall market.”
She said that some western ETF providers had already partnered with Chinese companies to provide each market with access to the other, and predicted this would continue. However, Kwan said the Chinese market was dominated by three large players, who had a 60% market share.
She said: “Newcomers need to come to China with new products to attract assets.”


A row has erupted between a private company and the Scottish Government over controversial devices called seal scarers which have been used by fish farms.
The farmed salmon industry claims these deterrents are critical for protecting fish stocks because seals kill around 500,000 caged salmon each year.
Critics of ADDs describe them as “sonic torture”, however. They claim they cause hearing damage and stress in dolphins, porpoises and whales – and therefore breach legislation to protect cetaceans.
There are alternatives for the salmon industry to use to protect fish farms from seals, critics argue, including the use of stronger nets.
Following recent controversy over the use of seal scarers, Marine Scotland has been carrying out inspections at Scottish fish farms to ensure that their use adheres to its aquaculture code of practice.
Section 2.2 of the code requires fish farmers to consult with Marine Scotland if they plan to deploy an ADD, and to obtain any relevant consents or to demonstrate that they will not harm marine mammals.
On the 18th October, 2022, Marine Scotland issued a report for the first six months of this year, following inspections at fish farms by marine protection vessels. Seventeen out of the 78 inspections found that ADDs had been fitted.
The report said that SSC’s Taranaish farm, at Loch Roag, had been issued with an enforcement letter after an inspection in April, and that ADDs had been “reportedly removed”.
However SSC told The Ferret that an ADD was not in use and the firm accused Marine Scotland of publishing a “factually incorrect” report and misrepresenting the situation.
A spokesperson for SSC said: “The unit was demonstrably not in use, and therefore Marine Scotland’s publication of the 18 October is factually incorrect. Marine Scotland was aware that all previously installed ADD systems were turned off and were being removed under a planned programme agreed with the supplier. All systems have since been removed under this planned programme.
The SSC spokesperson also claimed that the Marine Scotland report “lacks the necessary detail to accurately contextualise the issuing of the enforcement notice and therefore misrepresents the situation”. They added: “We are disappointed that they have pursued this matter despite our appeal, in which we confirmed the site was fallow, and gave evidence that the system was not transmitting in the period before, during and after the inspection.
The spokesperson said SSC was “further disappointed” that Marine Scotland published the notice without accompaniment of the inspector’s report and its letter of appeal which “provides context and evidence”.
In reply, a spokesperson for the Scottish Government said SSC’s claim that Marine Scotland’s report was inaccurate was “simply untrue”. They added: “On the 24 April 2022 officers made an unannounced inspection at one of the Scottish Salmon Company’s sites and found a deployed ADD device which had not been declared to the Marine Scotland directorate as required by the code of practice. An enforcement notice was issued, as demanded by legislation and all ADDs were removed.
“Industry was previously informed that details of these inspections would be made public and this occurred on 18 October 2022.”
The government spokesperson said all aquaculture sites were informed in writing, and through meetings with their industry association, that where a fish farm plans to deploy ADDs, they must “consult the Marine Scotland Directorate” and obtain any relevant consents. Companies must also demonstrate that the planned use of ADDs will not harm marine mammals.
“The code of practice must be complied with by anyone wishing to deploy an ADD even where a site is not stocked with fish,” the government spokesperson continued.
Anti-fish farm campaigners urged the Scottish Government to take action against any firm using ADDs improperly.
Don Staniford, director of $camon $cotland, previously called Scottish Salmon Watch, said: “The Scottish Government must immediately remove all ADDs on salmon farms across Scotland and prosecute companies for noise pollution.”
Corin Smith, of Inside Scottish Salmon Feedlots, said: “The continued discovery of ADDs on salmon feedlots comes despite repeated and recent claims to the contrary by the industry. We cannot trust the salmon farming industry to self regulate, in this area or others. “
David Ainsley, a member of campaigning group Coastal Communities Network, said: “17 out of the 78 inspections found ADDs fitted but in 16 cases they were not activated. Why would a farm have ADDs fitted unless they intended to use them?”
Salmon Scotland, the body which represents Scotland’s farmed salmon industry, declined to comment.

Or, Subtitled: Long Trek of a Family from Franklin County, Georgia, to Tennessee, Alabama, and, Finally, Texas
At some point not very long after his 29 July 1831 sale of land with son-in-law Alexander E. Patton in Franklin County, Tennessee (with the deed being recorded 2 June 1834), Benjamin Hollingsworth moved to Benton (now Calhoun) County, Alabama — perhaps around 1835, Sadie Sparks thinks. Benjamin was in Benton County by 6 June 1836 when citizens of Jacksonville in that county presented a resolution to Alabama Governor Clement Clay, noting that at the meeting at which the resolution was passed, a committee of six persons had been appointed to draft the “sense of the meeting.” This committee included Col. Benj. Hollingsworth. Digital images of the first and last pages of this resolution are above, with Benjamin’s signature on the last page.
On 29 October 1836, an inventory of the estate of Dennis Lindsey was filed in Lawrence County Alabama, court. This inventory was compiled on the 21st of October by court-appointed appraisers Samuel Irwin, R.Puckett, P.A. McDaniel, and E. Thomas, and verified by administrators John W. Lindsey and James B. Speak. As noted in the previous posting, the original inventory is found in the loose-papers case file of a case Dennis’s widow Jane Brooks Lindsey filed against John Wesley Lindsey and James Beckham Speake as estate administrators (Lawrence County, Alabama, loose court case files, #247, box 171, folder 6.). A transcript is also in Lawrence County’s Orphans Court Inventory and Will Book for the period 1835-1841 (pp. 232-7).
The following items appear on the appraisal. I’ve preserved the original spelling and capitalizations Note that the abbreviation “do” stands for “ditto.” The original document uses both the ditto sign, “ , and the abbreviation “do” to indicate dittos. I’ve added explanatory notes for some items. The transcript in Inventory and Will Book 1835-1841 corrects the non-standard spelling of many items in the original document: e.g., “furniture,” “saucers,” “bureaus,” “chairs,” “reel,” “kettle,” “Wesley’s,” “Josephus,” “magazines,” “hymn,” “stretchers,” “yoke,” “steers,” “heifer,” “colt,” etc.
Or, Subtitled: A North Alabama Example of Jarndyce v. Jarndyce
Dennis Lindsey’s Death
I have found no information about the cause of Dennis Lindsey’s death on 28 August 1836 at Oakville in Lawrence County, Alabama. Dennis was a young man not yet 42 years of age when he died. He left a young widow, Jane, who was 39, and eleven children, the first two of whom — John Wesley and Sarah Brooks Lindsey — were married. Several of Dennis and Jane’s children were very young when their father died: the last child, Dennis Edward, was not a year old, and the next four daughters — Margaret Tranquilla, Frances Rebecca, Martha Ann, and Mary Jane — were aged 2, 5, 7, and 10. As we’ll see from Dennis’s estate documents, though he had acquired a rather substantial estate, it was encumbered by debt, so in addition to having the responsibility to care for a large family of children when her husband died, Jane also had to face financial worries.

4th of July - Amazing!
My family recently stayed here and everyone can't say enough about what an amazing home! We had 5 adults that were more than comfortable staying at this location. The owner was incredibly responsive and eager to assist on all of our needs. The home is located in a beautiful quiet neighborhood near the restaurants and shops as well as the many amazing beaches. The home is spacious, wonderfully decorated and clean. It has everything you need to cook family meals, hang out; even has a beautiful deck with an awning. You can even see the Dana Point Fire works right from the living room with huge windows!...what a view! We were able to spend all of the 4th of July weekend exploring Dana Point Marina, the local hiking trails and the beaches! I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation in the heart of Dana Point. I plan on staying here again very soon and can't thank the owner enough for their hospitality and opening this beautiful home to our family.
Mid-century Dana Point Gem


I had the wheels and various brackets shot-blasted, then sprayed these parts with wash primer. This was essential as its surprising how quickly metal will rust once its been shot-blasted. garage door opener 29 I applied a coat of high build primer, then prepped and painted them with two-pack paint.
The axle took a fair bit of cleaning up but looks good now its finished in gloss black. The internals looked as though theyd done hardly any work so I replaced the pinion seal and rear gasket and left it at that. I will replace the rear wheel bearings when I refurb the brakes and refit the hubs. The Transit is already fitted with heavy-duty leaf springs so I replaced the bushes in these, cleaned them up with a soft pad on the grinder and garage door opener 29 them with red lead and two-pack paint. The shock absorbers were also in good order so I cleaned these up and painted them red, before refitting them using new rubber bushes.
Everything was reassembled and I then treated myself to six new tyres, but I wont mention how much they were on the off-chance a certain someone might read this! Now that the rear end is back together, the next job is repairing the various holes in the cab. Back out with the grinding discs and welder! Richard Lofting takes us through the proc of rebuilding engine water pumps. A rebuilt water pump, in this case on a Ferguson diesel tractor, garage door opener 29 with a new seal and bearings, ready for the engine to be refitted to the tractor. The water pump as taken from a P3 144 Perkins engine, as fitted to the Fordson Dexta. The same engine was also fitted to some Trojan vans.

PERUGIA, Italy Nov. 18, 2009— -- Just days before lawyers will begin summations in the Amanda Knox murder case, the one person already convicted of the crime appeared in an Italian courtroom today and said he saw Knox leaving the cottage as her British roomate lay dying of a knife wound to the throat.
He ended his statement by turning to the lawyer representing Kercher's family and said, "I want the Kercher family to know that I did not kill and did not rape their daughter. It was not me that took her life away."
Guede's appeal is not part of Knox's trial, but in Italy the jury is not sequestered and the Italian press has had lurid coverage of the year-long trial. It comes at a key moment in the procedings. Summations in the case begin Friday.
Prosecutor Pietro Maria Catalani dismissed Guede's account as "not credible" and asked that the conviction be upheld.
Knox's legal team were scathing in their rejection of Guede's account. "Today does not affect Amanda's trial because no one believes Rudy Guede. Guede is not reliable – he is a liar," Carlo Dalla Vedova, one of Knox's lawyers, told ABC News. "Even the prosecutor said this today. He [Guede] has changed his stories."
Guede, 25, has at different times said the Knox, 22, of Seattle, was and was not at the house the night of the murder. At one point, he also implied that Knox's co-defendant Raffaele Sollecito was at the murder scene.
"All Guede can do at this point is just confess and remove two innocent people from this situation," Dalla Vedova said. Lawyers for Knox and Sollecito have suggested that Guede killed Kercher, 21, by himself.
Guede's appeal was held in the same Perugia courtroom where the trial of Knox and ex-boyfriend Sollecito is held. Guede was seated in what is usually Knox's chair flanked by his lawyers.
After the judge read a summary of the case, Guede asked to be allowed to make a spontaneous statement, a courtroom statement by the defendant that is allowed by Italian law.
Guede, a native of the Ivory Coast, spoke of hearing Knox and seeing Knox at the house that Kercher and Knox shared with two Italian women.
Guede Claims He Heard Knox and Kercher Arguing Before Murder
He told the court that he had seen Kercher on Halloween, the night before her death, and that they met again on Nov. 1 and they went to her house together.
While he was getting something to drink, Kercher went into her room and Guede said she began railing against Knox because money was missing from her drawer. "My money, my money," she kept saying, Guede testified.
Together they checked the other rooms and everything was in order, but Kercher kept complaining. "She said that Amanda brought boys back to the house and that she couldn't stand her anymore," he said.
Guede said he and Kercher started making out and petting, but stopped. Ten minutes later Guede says he went to the bathroom, and while there the doorbell rang and he heard Kercher arguing with Knox.
"We have to talk," Kercher told Knox, according to Guede. He figured it was an argument among roomates, so he turned up his iPod until he heard "a very loud scream."
Guede claimed that he ran to Kercher's room where he saw a male figure. He put his hand on the guy's shoulder saying "What's happening," caught a glimpse of Kercher on the floor, and then the unidentified man "tried to strike me. He backed down the hallway in the dark, fell, and heard the man say 'Let's go, there is black man in the house.'"
Guede said he then heard the steps of more than one person on the gravel outside. He went to the window in one of the rooms and saw "the silhouette of Amanda Knox leaving."
Since this was a spontaneous statement, no one could question Guede.
Guede said he then went to Kercher's room, tried to help her, but said he was in total shock.
"I thought I was going crazy. I had tons of questions, but no answers," he testified.
Kercher held his hand and tried to speak to him, Guede said. He testified that he tried to stop the blood pouring from her throat, but got scared and fled.
Guede said he doesn't even know how he ended up in Germany, but later contacted two friends in Perugia and they agreed he should take a train home. He was stopped by police on the train, and taken to the police station.
Guede's Comments to Kercher Family
Then Guede turned to Francesco Maresca, the lawyer for the Kercher family, and asked him to tell them that the "only thing I feel I can say to the Kercher family, to which my conscience must answer, is that unfortunately I was scared and I did not do everything I could to help her."
"I want the Kercher family to know that I did not kill and did not rape their daughter. It was not me that took her life away," he said.

By boosting the immune system through a healthy diet, making lifestyle changes and being cautious during periods of active breakouts, you can help keep any virus dormant, including herpes. Certain steps can significantly reduce the chances of having having reoccurring herpes symptoms and lower the risk that you’ll pass the virus to someone else. So if you’re wondering how to get rid of herpes, read on to learn the natural ways to keep this virus dormant.
“You don’t want an infant delivered through infected birth canal or vulva because the infant can be infected,” Cullins explains. A neonatal herpes infection is a real risk because it can cause problems with brain development and eye and skin infections, or even be fatal. And since there is more risk for transmission from mother to baby during an initial outbreak than during a recurrent outbreak, the CDC stresses that it’s incredibly important for pregnant women to avoid contracting a new herpes infection.
I recently have been diagnosed with herpes 1&2. I have been struggling with excepting this. I’m just don’t understand I haven’t had any symptoms until I started talking to my current partner . We started having sex in Jan 2017 . In March I had a lil cut in my Libia went to the hospital , they gave me a herpes 1&2 test . It can back negative . So this sept I notice two open sores on my libia minora . I went to a local doctors office . The doctors swear it doesn’t look like herpes . I still wanted blood drown. Got my test result and I was positive for both . I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT . I have had cold sores when I was younger so I expect to come back positive for 1 but not both ! I have told my partner , I’m so scared and I don’t know what to do at this point . I break down every minute I get ! I can’t take this . I’m still experiencing a outbreak . It hasn’t been as people up here was saying it’s all over there vagina and anus ! I’m really freaked out ! I can’t tell anyone about this ! I feel like I’m the only person that has this disgusting disease . I need serious help . Should I take Valtrex ? My outbreaks a barely mild . I tried drinking apple cider vinegar and putting it all over my vagina . I don’t know what to do about this ! Please help , I no one to turn to 😢😢😢
Primary Infection: This is the first stage wherein the contagion reproduces upon entering from the mucous membrane or skin. Typical symptom is the appearance of oral lesions which may not be present initially resulting in an asymptotic infection. In this case due to lack of symptoms one will be unaware of the presence of an infection. The sores usually takes 21 days to form and become visible, then the blisters will persist up to 10 days before beginning to heal.
Genital herpes is passed on by skin-to-skin contact during vaginal, oral or anal sex, or by sharing sex toys. You can get genital herpes even if there are no visible sores or blisters, and once you have the virus, there is no cure. 'Herpes is more likely to be passed on just before, during or straight after an outbreak, as herpes blisters and sores are highly infectious,' says O’Sullivan.
Human herpes virus 6 (HHV6) is a recently observed agent found in the blood cells of a few patients with a variety of diseases. It causes roseola (a viral disease causing high fever and a skin rash in small children) and a variety of other illnesses associated with fever in that age group. This infection accounts for many of the cases of convulsions associated with fever in infancy (febrile seizures).
If you have herpes, you should talk to your sex partner(s) and let him or her know that you do and the risk involved. Using condoms may help lower this risk but it will not get rid of the risk completely. Having sores or other symptoms of herpes can increase your risk of spreading the disease. Even if you do not have any symptoms, you can still infect your sex partners.
A person may show symptoms within days after contracting genital herpes, or it may take weeks, months, or years. Some people may have a severe outbreak within days after contracting the virus while others may have a first outbreak so mild that they do not notice it. Because of these possibilities, it can be difficult for people to know when and from whom they may have contracted the virus.

⭐ #LuTorialAaravos ⭐
⇨ pic 1: cover of Aaravos Tutorial “The Horns”
⇨ pic 2: material overview
⇨ pic 3: pattern/painting and cutting (material: paper, EVA foam 0,5cm, Cutter, desk pad, ballpen or similar) copy the shape of the horn from a original print of the series or simply outline it freehand. (Please note: be careful about the size of the horn, it appears to be rather large in the original series, but you have to consider the size of your head as well. Test it with a test piece first)
Copy the pattern 6 times from the one side then 6 times from the other side. Later the according sides will be glued together. Try cutting along the lines neatly with the cutter. Be careful to keep the blade erect so there won’t be weird edges. (Please note: you can also use thicker foam and make fewer layers! Important is that the quality of the foam is “high density”)
⇨ pic 4: gluing (material: contact glue solvent-free for EVA foam, desk pad) you have 2 times 6 pieces per horn. Glue them layer for layer together, smooth down the glue layer with a rest piece of EVA foam to make it really thin (please note: let the glue dry until it doesn’t stick to your finger when you touch it, it will glue together better like this and immediately. Be careful to press it together as neat as possible)
⇨ pic 5: grinding and sanding (material: Dremel + abrasive sleeves grain size 180 big & small, sandpaper grain size 180, accurate file, respirator mask!!!) Now grind the angular horn in a more roundish form. Everyone must look for themselves how roundish you want it to be and how you like it best. Use the big abrasive sleeve (standard size) for the raw grinding and the small one for the smaller edges. (Please note: please DON’T grind with the abrasive sleeves completely into the edges. It doesn’t fit and you may mess up the opposite side.) Use sandpaper to smooth down the surface. Use the file on the edges then smooth them down with sandpaper as well.
⇨ pic 6: adjusting & heating (material: heat gun, knife, desk pad) Now you adjust the horns to your head so that they fit. With an even rim on the underside the horns will protrude askew from your head, which wouldn’t look right on Aaravos. Therefore you have to taper them (Like you see in the picture). Preferably you adjust them to your own head, so you have the ideal fit for the horns. It’s best done with a little bit of visual estimating and trying. (Please note: don’t crop too much at once, approach cautiously!) Now you can heat the horns with the heating gun to seal the foam. The surface will become a bit more glossy and even smoother once it’s sealed. (Please note: be careful when heating, don’t burn yourself or roast the material, you just need to heat it up shortly. Once it turns glossy it’s already good to work with.)
⇨ pic 7: magnets (material: 8 flat magnets, contact glue, Dremel with the small abrasive sleeve, respirator mask!!!) Mark the places where you want the magnets to be on the underside of the horns (two per horn) and dremel inside the marked form the notch into the material about the size of the thickness of the magnet so that it fits in completely. Use the edge of the abrasive sleeve for grinding into the foam, but be careful. If the magnet fits you can heaten up the notch as well and press the magnet immediately into the still warm foam. The passform is optimized now! Wait until everything cooled down and glue the magnet into the notch. Therefore smear some thin layer of glue onto one side of the magnet and one thin layer of glue into the notch (don’t forget the edges). Let this dry and press the magnets again into the notch. (Please note: be careful that the magnets don’t bang together too harshly, because they may break)
⇨ pic 8: primer, paint, finish!(material: KwikSeal, Flexbond, Acylic paint, liquid Latex (thick), different brushes, desk pad, KandyDip Clear matt + respirator mask!!!) 1.smooth the messy edges and nooks (especially where seams are to be seen) with kwikseal 2. Use flexbond as a primer and brush it onto the surface. Let it dry and repeat until you have about 3-4 layers. (Please note: the flexbond can be applied smoother when you dilute it with some(!)water) 3. Brush the violet base colour onto the horns (colour is mixed with the colours violet, grey, black, light blue + a little but of the liquid latex) 4. The gradient (in this case done with different kind of brushes, acrylic paint (mix of lilac, creme-white, light blue) always look if the gradient looks smooth. It’s rather tricky to do this with brushes and prepare to invest a lot of work and time into it. Keep a glass of water next to you, to dilute the gradient and so get better results in the end and to keep the acrylic-latex-mix smooth. Start with the lightest part at the tip of the horns. Then mix sine of the light colour with a tad bit of the base colour bit by bit and work it into each other with every stroke until the gradient looks smooth. Do this repeatedly until you reach the nuance of the base colour. You have to try out a bit, but you can always correct mistakes easily, so take your time until you’re please with the result. 5. Last but not least paint the light lines Aaravos has on his horns with a small brush. Look at an original screenshot or pattern to understand how they curl around his horns. Use the light lilac colour and mix some more creme-white into it, to make them a bit lighter than the gradients lightest colour. (Please note: draw removable lines for example with a heat-removable ink pen onto the horn first, before you apply the paint, then it’s easier.) 6. When everything dried, use KandyDip clear matt for the finish. Only use this outside or in well-ventilated rooms. Spray about 3-4 layers on it . (Please note: VERY IMPORTANT! No matter what kind you use kwikseal, flexbond, acrylic paint or KandyDip, EACH layer HAS TO dry completely before applying the next layer!)
⇨ pic 9: apply finished horns with magnets to the wig. Simply connect the magnets from the inner side of the wig with the magnets of the horns on the outer side of the wig at the place you want them to stay.
⇨ pic 10: list of shops! You find everything you need there!
Very clever mate, I hadn’t thought to use stacking for things like horns
