Creating a flower bed involves using the elements and principles of design, such as line, color, form, texture, and shape. However, it does not have to be overwhelming. A few fundamental principles will help you develop a garden bed design that will give you beautiful leaves and blooms throughout the year. Michael Bryan Landscapes is here to help you achieve the best in Maryland and Northern Virginia.
Shortest to Tallest
The very first principle to keep in mind for arranging a flower bed is to place plants from shortest to tallest. The shortest go in front, the medium in the middle, and the tallest in the back. If it is a flower bed island, the arrangement is concentric. There is room to break the rules, but this is the standard layout. One should measure plants according to their expected height in maturity.
One can have multiple color schemes in the garden, even a mix like the rainbow. One can also go with cool colors (blues and violets) or warm colors (reds, oranges, and yellows.) If you use both, placing the cool colors in the back will make the garden look larger, but warm colors in the back will make the garden bed seem closer.
Plants also come in many textures, such as large, bold colors and leaves, and intricate, delicate petals and leaves. Use a variety of textures evenly dispersed throughout the garden bed for interest at every square inch. In general, large, bold plants should go in the back while smaller, more delicate plants go in the front.
Plants flourish and go dormant in different seasons. Yet another condition to follow is to choose a collection of plants that will always have something in bloom. Also consider ornamental winter plants that provide greenery or interesting textures during the most dormant time of year.
Room for Extras
When you layer a flower bed, you will have several anchor plants that create the framework. You can add other plants of varying textures, shapes, and colors in between, such as grasses, groundcovers, annuals, and bulbs.

Background: Following debridement of infected prostheses that require reconstruction with an endoprosthetic replacement (EPR), instability related to segmental residual bone defects present a challenge in management with 2-stage reimplantation. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients treated for revision total joint or endoprosthetic infection at the knee from 1998 to 2018. At our institution, patients with skeletal defects >6 cm following explant of prosthesis and debridement (stage 1) were managed with intramedullary nail-stabilized antibiotic spacers. Following stage 1, antimicrobial therapy included 6 weeks of intravenous antibiotics and a minimum of 6 weeks of oral antibiotics. Following resolution of inflammatory markers and negative tissue cultures, reimplantation (stage 2) of an EPR was performed. Results: Twenty-one patients at a mean age of 54 ± 21 years were treated for prosthetic joint infection at the knee. Polymicrobial growth was detected in 38% of cases, followed by coagulase-negative staphylococci (24%) and Staphylococcus aureus (19%). Mean residual skeletal defect after stage 1 treatment was 20 cm. Prosthetic joint infection eradication was achieved in 18 (86%) patients, with a mean Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score of 77% and mean knee range of motion of 100°. Patients with polymicrobial infections had a greater number of surgeries prior to infection (P = .024), and were more likely to require additional debridement prior to EPR (odds ratio 12.0, P = .048). Conclusion: Management of large segmental skeletal defects at the knee following explant using intramedullary stabilized antibiotic spacers maintain stability and result in high rates of limb salvage with conversion to an endoprosthesis.

Spectrum has become a scant quantity with recent upsurge in the field of wireless communication. Cognitive radio network (CRN) alleviates the overgrowing spectrum scarcity and underutilization problem by adequately sharing the frequency bands between licensed and unlicensed users. CRN allows unlicensed users or secondary users (SUs) to opportunistically utilize the free portion of the spectrum allocated to the licensed users or primary users. The fundamental process in the formation of CRN is the rendezvous process where SUs meeton commonly available channels and establish reliable links for effective communication. Existing rendezvous solutions based on the assumption of a common control channel (CCC) among the SUs are infeasible and lessefficient in the dynamic environment of CRNs. Therefore, channel hopping (CH) technique without CCC support, often referred to as blind rendezvous, is usually employed for accomplishing the rendezvous between SUs. This paper presents a comprehensive asynchronous symmetric rendezvous (CASR) algorithm that does not require time synchronization and guarantees rendezvous of SUs in finite time. CASR algorithm exploits the MAC address of SU as the unique identifier (ID) and generates CH sequence based on the dynamic manipulation of ID according to the number of available communication channels. Leveraging the unique ID of each SU, CASR algorithm succeeded in rendezvous guarantee while perpetuating a good time to rendezvous. The efficiency of CASR algorithm is estimated theoretically and verified through various simulation experiments. Simulation results affirm that CASR algorithm performs better in terms of average time-to-rendezvous as compared with existing rendezvous algorithms.
This paper proposes a novel approach for open-eye detection that can be used in driver drowsiness analysis based on computer vision techniques. The proposed method captures the driver video using a low resolution camera. The proposed drowsiness detection system has three main stages. The first stage is facedetection using elliptical approximation and template matching techniques. In the second stage, the open eye is detected using the proposed iris–sclera pattern analysis method. In the third stage, the drowsiness state of the driver is determined using PERcentage of eye CLOSure (PERCLOS) measure. The entire system is designed to be independent of any specific data sets for face or eye detection. The proposed method for open-eye detection uses basic image processing concepts of morphological and laplacian operations. The proposed system was evaluated with real-life images and videos. Open-eye detection accuracy of 93% was achieved
This paper proposes a novel hybrid teaching–learning particle swarm optimization (HTLPSO) algorithm, which merges two established nature-inspired algorithms, namely, optimization based on teaching–learning (TLBO) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). The HTLPSO merges the best half of population obtained after the teacher phase in TLBO with the best half of the population obtained after PSO. The population so obtained is used subsequently in learner phase of TLBO. To validate the proposed algorithm, five constrained benchmark functions are considered to prove its robustness and efficiency. The proposed algorithm is applied to synthesize four-bar linkage for prescribed path. It is found that the HTLPSO performs better than other single nature-inspired algorithms for path synthesis problem in mechanism theory. Hence, HTLPSO may prove to bean important tool for mechanism design to follow the prescribed path.
Providing global connectivity with high speed and guaranteed quality at any place and any time is now becoming a reality due to the integration and co-ordination of different radio access technologies. The internetworking of existing networks with diverse characteristics has been considered attractive to meet the incredible development of interactive multimedia services and ever-growing demands of mobile users. Due to the diverse characteristics of heterogeneous networks, several challenges have to be addressed in terms of quality of service (QoS), mobility management and user preferences. To achieve this goal, an optimal network selection algorithm is needed to select the target network for maximizing the end user satisfaction. The existing works do not consider the integration of utility function with mobile terminal mobility characteristics to minimize ping-pong effects in the integrated networks. An integrated multicriteria network selection algorithm based on multiplicative utility function and residual residence time (RRT) estimation is proposed to keep the mobile users always best connected. Multiplicative weighted utility function considers network conditions, application QoS and user preferences to evaluate the available networks. In this paper, the proposed scheme is implemented with two mainstreams (pedestrian users and high-velocity users). For high-velocity users, RRT and adaptive residence time threshold are also considered to keep the probability of handover failures and unnecessary handovers within the limits. Monte-Carlo simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms against existing approaches.
This paper studies a novel structure of photonic crystal fibre (PCF) for dispersion compensation at broadband wavelengths. The application of broadband is investigated using a design model based on combination of modal properties and dispersion compensation. The newly designed PCF with defect introduced isrecorded over transmission spectrum range 146.7–256.98 THz, i.e., 1.16–2.04 lm. The modal characteristics and dispersion compensation of 2D PCF with circular air holes defect introduced are investigated and compared to those of conventional hexagonal 2D PCF. Changes in bandwidth behaviour are also observed by changing refractive index and geometric parameter of PCF.
Leaks in pipelines of the oil and gas industry are an economic and environmental problem that needs to be detected early and effectively. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been researched as one of those technologies to be used in the remote monitoring of pipeline infrastructure. The idea of using tiny sensor nodes on pipelines seemingly provides industries with effective and reliable real-time monitoring, and better coverage density per area. The benefits are apparent in the deployment of WSNs for pipeline monitoring.However, what really lacks is an actual comparison in the detection performance between deployment in overground pipelines and underground pipelines. Extensive research has been going on the use of wireless underground sensor networks for a number of applications. This paper attempts to provide a statistical insight on the concepts of leak detection performance of WSNs when deployed on overground and underground pipelines.The approach in the study employs the hypothesis testing problem to formulate a solution on the detection plan.Through the hypothesis test, the maximum likelihood ratio scheme is used to provide an optimal performanceanalysis of the detection idea. The test also takes into consideration the signal to noise ratio performance of the two settings of underground and overground and is crucial in bringing up a conjecture on the performance of detection. As would be shown in the paper, thresholds, determined by probability, are the key in ensuring a good detecting performance for the WSN.
An unsteady two-fluid model of blood flow through a tapered arterial stenosis with variable viscosity in the presence of variable magnetic field has been analysed in the present paper. In this article, blood in the core region is assumed to obey the law of Jeffrey fluid and plasma in the peripheral layer is assumed to be Newtonian. The values for velocity, wall shear stress, flow rate and flow resistance are numerically computed by employing finite-difference method in solving the governing equations. A comparison study between the velocity profiles obtained by the present study and the experimental data represented graphically shows that that the rheology of blood obeys the law of Jeffrey fluid rather than that of Newtonian fluid. The effects of parameters such as taper angle, radially variable viscosity, hematocrit, Jeffrey parameter, magnetic field and plasma layer thickness on physiologically important parameters such as wall shear stress distribution and flow resistance have been investigated. The results in the case of radially variable magnetic field and constant magnetic field are compared to observe the effect of magnetic field in driving the blood flow. It is observed that increase in hematocrit increases the wall shear stress. The values of wall shear stress and flow resistance are obtained at various time instances and compared. It is pertinent to note that the magnitudes of flow resistance are higher in the case of converging tapered than non-tapered and diverging tapered artery.
Although the Cassie–Baxter and Wenzel equations predict contact angles for relative dimensions of micro-pillars on textured surfaces, the absolute pillar dimensions are determined by trial and error. Alternatively, geometries of natural super-hydrophobic surfaces are often imitated to design textured surfaces. Knowing the limitations of both the approaches, this work presents a constraint minimization model on the basis of Cassie–Baxter equation to determine the absolute dimensions of square micro-pillars on a textured surface so as tomaximize the contact angle. The constraints are derived based on the limiting physical conditions at which spontaneous breakdown of super-hydrophobicity takes place. The single-droplet numerical simulations on textured surface gave the duration for which super-hydrophobicity is sustained. The model demonstrated that the round edged pillars, arising out of fabrication imperfections, reduce the height of the pillars without significantly compromising on the contact angle. The measurement of contact angle on the fabricated textured surfaces wasfound to be in agreement with the model predictions when the fabricated pillars had fairly uniform dimensions.The proposed approach is sufficiently general that its application can be extended to design other textured surface
The effect of sinusoidal heating on double-diffusive mixed convective flow with heat and mass transfer in a lid-driven square cavity is numerically investigated. The horizontal walls of the cavity are adiabatic and impermeable. Sinusoidal boundary temperatures and concentrations are imposed along the left and rightsidewalls of the cavity. The governing unsteady equations for continuity, momentum, energy and species transfer are solved using the finite-volume method. The numerical solutions are computed for various parameterssuch as the Richardson number, amplitude ratio, buoyancy ratio and phase deviation. The obtained results are discussed in detail under different combinations of the pertinent parameters
Image distortion is inevitable when an image is captured through a lens. While the digital image measurement technique is getting popular, image distortion problem can result in significant error. A new distortion correction method is proposed in this study. The proposed method is based on the fact that a flat surface should keep flat when it is measured using three-dimensional (3D) digital image measurement technique. The 3D digital image measurement technique adopted in this research is the simplified 3D digital image correlation (DIC) method. Because radial distortion has a more noticeable influence than other types of distortions,this method deals only with radial distortion. A few experiments are carried out in this study to verify the correctness of this method and its accuracy. Both simulated data and actual image data are adopted in these experiments. The results show that this method can achieve a good accuracy. The standard deviations caused byrandom errors are about the same order as the random errors. It also shows that this method is suitable for both large and small distortion conditions
Determination of the erodibility parameters, such as critical shear stress and erodibility coefficient, are necessary before estimating the annual bank erosion (or bank retreat) at river reaches. However, in many cases, the river site is inaccessible making it difficult to assess the soil parameters either by in situ tests or by laboratory experiments. In this study, Genetic Algorithm (GA)-based optimisation technique was used to estimate the erodibility parameters of middle reaches of the Brahmaputra River in India. Two approaches were followed. At first, erodibility parameters were estimated using daily stage records at a selected site. Secondly, based on the annual observed bank erosions (bank retreat) from satellite images, erodibility parameters were estimated in three different river reaches. All these results were compared with that from a previous study usingin situ jet tests. Annual bank erosions (bank retreat) were estimated using the median values of the erodibility parameters. The results agree well with the average observed annual bank erosion of these river reaches. In addition, the effects of measurement errors and optimisation algorithms on the parameter estimation were analysed. Sensitivity analysis of the parameters in GA was evaluated and it was found that GA can be utilised in the data-scarce regions to estimate the average erodibility parameters
A 17-lump kinetic model has been developed for the riser–reactor cum regenerator of a fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU). This accounts for cracking, hydrogen transfer, aromatization, isomerization, alkylation and dimerization, as well as catalyst deactivation due to the coke deposition in its pores. A model forthe industrial combustor–regenerator unit is also developed. The lumping scheme includes the detailed characterization in terms of the paraffins, naphthenes and aromatics (PNAs) for the VGO feed and also the detailed compositions of the two important products: gasoline and LPG. A total of 199 kinetic parameters for the riser–reactor cum regenerator have been fitted (tuned) using 192 sets of plant data (under different operating conditions) from an industrial FCC unit. The tuned model of the integrated FCCU was run for 15 additional operating conditions. The match was found to be quite good.
A theoretical study is made in the region near the stagnation point when a lighter incompressible viscoelastic fluids impinges orthogonally on the surface of another quiescent heavier incompressible viscous fluid. Similarity solutions of the momentum balance equations for both fluids are equalized at the interface. It isnoted that an exact boundary layer solution is obtained for the lower lighter fluid. The velocity of the lower fluid is independent of lateral interface velocity but the velocity of the upper viscoelastic fluid increases with increasing lateral interface velocity. It is observed that lateral interface velocity increases with increasingviscoelastic parameter for fixed values of density and viscosity ratio of the two fluids. The convective heat transfer is investigated base on the similarity solutions for the temperature distribution of the two fluids. The interface temperature increases with increasing viscoelastic parameter of the upper viscoelastic fluid


AceShowbiz - Tracee Ellis Ross is relishing the opportunity to get hands-on around her home as she enjoys some much-needed downtime during lockdown.
The screen star tells Variety she's rarely in her own house as she's always on set or attending work events - so the COVID-19 crisis has been the perfect opportunity to catch up on some chores.
"I love this part of my life," she smiles. "I never get to do it - the cooking, cleaning, the being tethered to my own experience. I'm usually running through the house scarfing food down while I'm doing 17 other things."
Ross found out last month (Jul20) she'd scooped her fourth Primetime Emmy Award nomination for her portrayal of Rainbow Johnson in hit ABC show "Black-ish", which tackles issues affecting the black community, but her mind wasn't focused on the big accolade.
"My attention is on other things, like changing my sheets and mopping my floor," the down to earth star admitted. "I like everything just so, and that requires a lot of attention."
And while "The High Note" star might be a domestic goddess when no one's watching, she's keen to ensure such tasks are fairly divided when the subject comes up on screen, telling the Los Angeles Times' "Can't Stop Watching" podcast, "I don't believe they're 'lady chores.' I believe they're house chores."
"I believe every relationship is a negotiation between two people about what each of them feel comfortable doing, and I think the more that we portray that on television, the more that that becomes the reality out in the world, or matches the reality that the world actually is," she added.

This week I had a fun challenge. We hosted a Tuaca launch reception at the hotel, and the night before the event I got an email asking if I could do a dessert for it. Since Tuaca is a vanilla and orange liqueur it needed to feature those flavors and oh, by the way, could I do a s'more dessert to complement the s'more cocktail that had already been designed?
No problem! I started conceptualizing the dessert by breaking down the components. S'mores are simple - graham crackers, chocolate, marshmallow. I decided to use the graham cracker sable recipe from Johnny Iuzzini's Dessert Fourplay which I knew would produce a nice thin cracker suitable for a mini dessert. Now for the chocolate. When I was a kid one of my favorite treats was my mom's homemade chocolate frosting on graham crackers. I wanted to recreate that lovely childhood memory by using my favorite dark chocolate fudge icing to fill the s'more. Mmmmmm ... bittersweet chocolate with a healthy dose of vanilla - adding some Tuaca to it was a no-brainer. So far, so good.

Azad will prove majority, says Soz
Apprehensive about Mr Azad poaching on a section of its MLAs, the PDP leadership has registered a strong protest, cautioning the party high command that any misadventure by the chief minister months ahead of the assembly poll could trigger a crisis in the sensitive border state.
The political tug-of-war in Srinagar comes at a time when the Congress central leadership is working on the number games in the Lok Sabha to shield the Manmohan Singh regime from the Left pull-out threat. The PDP, even after its withdrawal of support to the Azad government, remains an ally of the UPA at the Centre. The Congress central leadership is sensitive to the tactical utility of PDP, which has just one Lok Sabha MP, given the attempts to project the Indo-US civil nuclear deal as ���anti-Muslim���.
The PDP leadership���s warning against Mr Azad���s game-plan is learnt to have come after the seasoned chief minister reached out to Ghulam Hussein Mir, a powerful Mufti-aide-turned-rebel. It is no secret that both Mr Azad and Mr Mir have many friends among the 17 PDP MLAs.
After the PDP withdrawal of support, the Azad government needs a minimum of seven additional votes to survive the trust-vote. Till now, AICC has given Mr Azad a free hand to deal with the situation in Srinagar.
Talking to ET from Srinagar, PCC president Saifuddin Soz said: ���We are confident that the Azad government will demonstrate its majority on the floor of the House on July 7. The people of Jammu and Kashmir are overwhelmingly opposed to the prospects of governor���s rule in the state. They had a very bad experience of governor���s rule in the past���. Mr Soz has also said the state Congress was not in touch with the PDP leadership after the latter pulled out of the ruling coalition.
As of now, the PDP leadership says it was least bothered about the fate of the Congress-led state government as it has already severed its ties with the Azad regime. But it remains to be seen whether the Muftis will issue a formal whip, asking its 17 MLAs to vote against the state government or abstain from voting.
The PDP decision will indicate the level of party leadership���s confidence in retaining its MLAs at the moment of reckoning. Though the National Conference leadership has already announced that its 24 MLAs will vote against the Azad regime, it remains to be seen whether the chief minister, who is close to the Abdullahas, will secure some ���helpful absentees��� from NC MLAs at the time of voting.
The Congress sources also say they have serious doubts about Panthers Party chief Bhim Singh���s capacity to ensure that his four MLAs will vote against the government.

— Krishnan Guru-Murthy“
To have credibility with our audiences in our coverage of climate change and the transition to net zero it is vital that we in the news industry also change our ways and play our part. I’m delighted to be chairing the albert News Consortium to help drive that change”
Posted on 22nd June 2021
Krishnan Guru-Murthy joins albert as Chair of the News Consortium
The Channel 4 News presenter will help guide the albert News Consortium as it looks for ways to collaborate and further reduce its environmental impact.
We’re thrilled to announce that Krishnan Guru-Murthy has accepted the position of Chair of the albert News Consortium.
The group, which formed in January 2021, was set up to support the broadcast and production community specifically engaged in news television. Members of the group currently include: ITN (producers of ITV News, Channel 4 News and 5 News), BBC, ITV, Sky News and Channel 4 with more members expected to join in the coming months.
As Chair, Krishnan will help guide the focus and strategy of the group, using his in-depth knowledge of the news industry to help explore which actions can have the biggest and most positive impact on the environment, as well as explore how the climate change conversation is represented on screen.
Krishnan Guru-Murthy started his own career in the late 80s at the BBC working as a presenter, reporter and producer for a wide variety of shows from Newsround to Newsnight. He has been with the Channel 4 News team since 1998 covering key global events. He also presents the Channel 4 News podcast Ways to Change the World, in which he interviews one guest each week and explores the big ideas influencing how we think, act and live.
The chairmanship comes at a key moment for both albert and the News Consortium with the eyes of the world focussing on COP26 in Glasgow in November 2021.
Michelle Whitehead, albert Project Lead added:
“The challenges faced by the broadcast news community are quite unique, not least because news producers have to react with a moment’s notice to breaking news and have to broadcast from all over the world. We wanted to create a separate group that could discuss the challenges they face and work on tailored solutions that can help them achieve net-zero carbon emissions. We’re thrilled to have Krishnan Guru-Murthy on board to help lead our group. His industry knowledge combined with our sustainability focus will no doubt lead to a very successful partnership”.
Since the launch of the News Consortium, a dedicated news training module has been created which will be offered for free to everyone working in news production.
The training will cover key environmental terms, the tools needed to create news in a more sustainable way as well as discussing how to find the climate angle in news stories. The specific news training module will sit alongside albert’s wider training offer and can be booked via our training page.

More About Ambrose Bierce, Kate Chopin, James Fenimore Cooper, Stephen Crane & O. Henry
Journalist, short story writer, and satirist Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914) was equally adept in a variety of genres, from ghost stories to poetry to political commentary. Bierce's fiction is particularly distinguished by its realistic depictions of the author's Civil War experiences.
Ambrose Bierce lived in the state of Ohio. Ambrose Bierce was born in 1842 and died in 1914.
Reviews - What do customers think about More Classic American Short Stories (Classic Fiction)?
A cheap read, but little else. Oct 19, 2007
First off, here are the short stories included on the 2 discs:
A Horseman in the Sky - Ambrose Bierce Regret - Kate Chopin Eclipse - James Fenimore Cooper The Bride Comes To Yellow Sky - Stephen Crane The Cop and the Anthem - O. Henry The Princess and the Puma - O. Henry The Whirligig of Life - O. Henry
Read by Garrick Hagon and Liza Ross
Based on the name recognition of the authors, I was expecting much more. None of the stories were known to me (and probably not to anyone outside an english lit department). Two of the stories were decent, but the rest were unimpressive. Wasn't impressed with the readers either, as they tended towards over-acting (though perhaps the material lent itself to that).
The two-disc set served its purpose of keeping me awake on a long drive to a fishing cabin, but little else. I did like the fact that I could stop between short stories, unlike a longer novel. On my last long trip, I was listening to Shadow Divers (great book!) and arrived at my destination in the middle of a dive emergency. Had to wait three days to learn the fate of the divers.
Can't say I would really recommend this compilation, but if you're a voracious reader/listener who goes through books like candy, the price is hard to beat. Also might be more enjoyable to someone else for the nostalgic qualities.

Crusonia on the Delta is much more than a forum. It’s a joining of passionate entrepreneurs, experts and investors with the capability to fundamentally change our food system, and with it, positively and sustainably impact our global economy.
We have made the decision to postpone the 2020 Crusonia on the Delta forum until Fall 2020. Additional details will be coming shortly.
Last week, we sent an email regarding the potential scheduling impacts COVID-19 may have on Crusonia on the Delta 2020 scheduled for May 11-13 in Memphis, Tennessee. While we await that outcome, it is interesting to consider the deeper connection between this virus and the path to a new and better food system.
Refrigeration was one of the most ground-shaking innovations of the 20th century. And it hasn’t slowed down, becoming the most popular home appliance.


Tyga and Avril Lavigne have confirmed their rumored romance at Paris Fashion Week where they’ve been spotted sharing a kiss in public.
According to Page Six, T-Raww and the “Complicated” singer were seen packing on the PDA at the Mugler x Hunter Schafer party in Paris.
The pair didn’t have any issue holding hands and kissing in front of others as they attended the Ottolinger show on Monday (March 6).
Tyga and Lavigne were also seen hanging out at a party hosted by Leonard DiCaprio last week.
🚨 | Avril Lavigne confirms her relationship with rapper Tyga#TTJFCAvrilLavigne pic.twitter.com/ZkDNILvrdJ
— Avril Lavigne News (@AvrilNewsFans) March 6, 2023
Dating rumors began to fly last month when the singer and “Faded” rapper were spotted by TMZ “getting really comfortable around each other” in new photos outside Nobu in Los Angeles.
The couple reportedly dined at the restaurant along with “a few others,” with TMZ being told the two of them appeared to be “hitting it off.” The pair were photographed hugging in the parking lot as if to say goodbye, but ended up leaving in the same car.
The latest Paris trip was an ironic location considering that Avril Lavigne got engaged to her now-ex Mod Sun in March 2022 while in the city of love, with the pair dating for about a year before the proposal before breaking things off last month.
Many fans were surprised at Tyga and Avril’s romance as they didn’t see it coming. “Tyga dating Avril Lavigne is the most random thing I seen so far this year,” one person tweeted.
As for Tyga, the Last Kings mogul has a long dating history that includes celebrities such as Kylie Jenner, Iggy Azalea, Blac Chyna, Camaryn Swanson, Bella Poarch, Amina Blue, Tammy Hembrow, Sophia Body and Jordan Craig.
He was arrested on felony domestic violence charges in October 2021 following a dispute at his house with ex-girlfriend Camaryn Swanson.
Things escalated to the point they turned physical when Swanson claimed Tyga laid hands on her and left her with a black eye. Tyga was released a short time after the arrest on $50,000 bail.

And when the Word is fulfilled against them (the unjust), we shall produce from the earth a beast to (face) them: He will speak to them, for that mankind did not believe with assurance in Our Signs.
The “creature brought forth out of the earth” is apparently an allegory of man’s “earthly”
outlook on life – in other words, the soul-destroying materialism characteristic of the time preceding
the Last Hour. This “creature” parabolically “tells” men that their submergence in exclusively
materialistic values – and, hence, their approaching self-destruction – is an outcome of their
lack of belief in God.

Most of us will have grown up learning that dogs can have bones. You’ve probably seen dogs with bones on the television, or in books, or you might have seen dogs enjoying bones in real life. This well-known pairing of dogs and bones has caused many owners to believe that giving their dog a bone is perfectly okay… but unfortunately this is very much not the case.
In fact, giving your dog bones can actually be very dangerous for your pup, as they can easily chew pieces off, and this can lead to nasty obstructions in the digestive tract which can even be fatal. And even smaller pieces of bones can still cause injury to the mouth, throat and digestive tract, resulting in pain, discomfort, choking and gagging. Read on to find out why you should always avoid giving bones to your beloved four-legged friend.
Can dogs eat lamb bones?
Many owners will wonder, can dogs have lamb bones? We would always advise against giving your dog any kind of bones. Lamb bones in particular can be really dangerous for your dog as, due to their size, pieces can be broken off when your dog is chewing, which can easily cause obstruction and damage to their gastrointestinal tract.
You may also have heard that giving your dog a bone is good for their nutrition, as well as their teeth. However, your dog should be able to get all the nutrients they need from a high-quality diet, and you can read our article ‘How to look after your dog’s teeth’ for advice on how to keep your dog’s pearly whites in tip-top condition. In summary, you can keep your dog perfectly healthy without ever putting them at risk by giving them bones.
Why eating lamb bones can be bad for dogs
Bones can break causing internal damage and obstructions
When your dog chews on a bone, chunks will inevitably break off and, if the chunks are fairly small, they are likely to have sharp edges which can scratch and damage the mouth, throat or digestive tract. They may also become lodged and cause choking, which is both uncomfortable and painful for your pup. Choking and internal damage are also a risk with smaller bones, such as chicken bones, which dogs are often able to eat whole or chew up.
Also, if your dog breaks off and swallows a larger piece of bone this can cause an obstruction in the gastrointestinal tract. These obstructions are extremely dangerous as they often prevent food from moving through the digestive system properly, which can result in vomiting, diarrhoea and an extremely poorly pup. Many of these obstructions are fatal if surgery is not carried out very quickly, and even then, there can be severe (and sometimes irreparable) damage to your pup’s digestive system.
Because of this, we would always strongly advise against feeding any bones to your dog and, if you are suspicious your dog may have ingested a bone – or anything else that could obstruct or damage their gastrointestinal tract – it’s essential that you get in touch with your vet straight away!
How to prevent problems with bones
If you have a particularly mischievous pup who likes to scavenge (Labrador pups are infamous for this!) it’s really important that, if they have a history of eating things they shouldn’t such as plastic or bone, you are really careful that they don’t pick these objects up. You can do this by walking them on the lead while continuously monitoring them or, if you plan to walk them off the lead, making sure you are always able to keep a close eye on them and, if this isn’t always possible, it may be worth popping a muzzle on them to prevent them from scavenging and keep them safe.
However, if you actually see your dog eat something they shouldn’t, it’s best to get in touch with your vet straight away! They will normally ask you about the size and material of the object ingested and will advise you whether or not your dog needs to be seen. It’s important for owners to remember that in cases of obstruction, the quicker your pup is seen by a vet the better, as prompt intervention is often key in these cases!
There will also be cases where dogs manage to sneak off down a hill or into a bush and you can’t be sure if they have ingested something or not – which is why we would advise to walk mischievous pups on the lead, ensuring you monitor them and muzzle them when necessary. However, if you do find yourself in this difficult situation, it’s important to know which signs to look out for.
What are the signs of a gastrointestinal obstruction and/or damage to the digestive tract?
These are some of the signs that could indicate that your pet has ingested something that is causing internal damage or obstruction:
- Choking and/or coughing
- Coughing up blood
- Excessive salivation
- Blood in the saliva
- Difficulty eating
- Not wanting to eat
- Becoming withdrawn
- Straining when trying to pass faeces
- A sore or contracting abdomen
- Excessive whining and whimpering, as this may indicate pain
In conclusion, due to the risks we would always advise against feeding any type of bone to your pup, and we would also suggest that you do everything you can to prevent your pup from eating bones or any other nasty objects on their walks (especially if they have a history of trying to do this!).
And, if you’ve got any other human foods you want to share with your canine friend, we’ve got plenty of helpful articles about what dogs can eat and what they should stay away from.

The latest political party to register for the 2021 General Elections in Samoa wants to limit the Prime Minister's term in office to just two terms.
Fa'atuatua I Le Atua Samoa ua Tasi, or FAST, was officially registered on Thursday and promptly announced they would be fielding a candidate in each of the 50 seats up for grabs next year.
Heading the party is former speaker and cabinet minister, Laaulialemalietoa Leuatea Polataivao Fosi Schmidt, who resigned from Parliament last month and now faces a by-election.
The Samoa Observer newspaper reported that the party promised to stop church ministers paying taxes and review the controversial trio of bills seeking to change the Constitution to allow for a major overhaul of the judiciary .
FAST said limiting the term of a Prime Minister to two terms would also ensure good governance and avoid the abuse of power and entrenched corruption.
The current prime minister, Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, has been in the position for over 20 years.
Other areas the party wanted to address included stronger recognition of the contribution overseas-based Samoans made to the country; a decentralising of selected services to come under the management of village councils; and a push for more transparency and efficiency in the management of public-owned assets.


ST’s SiC-diode manufacturing process creates robust devices with low forward voltage (VF), giving circuit designers extra freedom to achieve high efficiency and reliability using diodes with lower current rating and therefore lower cost. This makes SiC technology more accessible for cost-conscious applications including solar inverters, industrial motor drives, home appliances, and power adapters. At the same time, performance-oriented applications that demand SiC for superior efficiency, low weight, small size, or best thermal properties can extend these advantages using ST’s latest 1200V SiC diodes. The higher efficiency margin provided by their lower forward voltage drop (VF) delivers important benefits for automotive equipment such as On-Board Battery Chargers (OBC) and charging stations for Plug-In Hybrid or Electric Vehicles (PHEV/EV). On the other hand, overall robust electrical performance ensures a perfect fit in telecom and server power supplies, high-power industrial Switched-Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) and motor drives, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and large solar inverters. Over and above maximizing SiC efficiency gains, achieving the lowest VF also helps reduce operating temperature and extend application lifetime. In addition, ST’s manufacturing process allows to display lower spread on the datasheet-guaranteed VF thereby enabling OEMs to ensure superior reproducibility when building circuits in high volumes. ST’s new 1200V SiC diode family covers current ratings from 2A to 40A, including automotive-qualified devices, in surface-mount DPAK HV (High-Voltage) and D²PAK, or through-hole TO-220AC and TO-247LL (Long-Lead) packages.

Stoner-metal riff monsters, Romero, have revealed their tongue-in-cheek new video for the title track from their recent album, Take The Potion. I’ve never really played video games but I can certainly appreciate this hilarious and spot on parody of the 1980’s Nintendo – Legend Of Zelda 8-bit video games. This video is a combination of classic 8-bit in an almost stop-motion style that is animated frame-by-frame — similar to the process originally used by South Park, which can be very tedious and time consuming!
The funniest thing is that this video made me recall a one-off band called The Advantage that, in 2006, made a record of covers of Nintendo Game Theme Songs. So genius.
Coincidentally, the video for “Take The Potion” was directed by Aaron Romero (no relation to anyone in the band, as none of them are named Romero), who has recently directed videos for Wolf Bites Boy, Iron Reagan, Rebel Flesh, The Renfields, and Ratbatspider. “Take The Potion” is a kick to watch and it’s refreshing to find a heavy band that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Visit Romero on the web and download their music at Romero is Loud Dot Com. Enjoy!


The locking tongue is the original locking mechanism with a tacit cooperation with the lock beam. The tongue part and the tongue groove of the lock beam are combined. When the lock beam is pressed down, the ramp is used to synthesize the pressure of the lock beam, and the base plane of the lock tongue is used to prevent the upper jump of the lock beam. The opening function of the lock is completed by the matching of the groove at the bottom of the lock tongue and the lock core. At the same time, the rotation of the lock core is not driven when the lock tongue is compressed by the lock beam.

When your doctor prescribes a CT scan, you might not give it a second thought, or recognize the benefit of such advanced technology regarding your health.
Over the past four decades, CT scans have evolved dramatically. Scanning offers precise multi-dimensional images that help health-care professionals diagnose and treat a wide variety of medical conditions high speed and accuracy.
All About CT Scanning
Computed Axial Tomography (CAT) or Computed Tomography (CT) is the same type of image scanning. The highly sophisticated software is used to analyze the digital images produced by the scanner. This allows radiologists to slice each picture, rotate it, examine it straight on or zoom in on a specific detail.
Axial refers to cross sections of the anatomical plane. A CT scan displays multiple sections through the body generated through tomography. The result is several highly detailed images in seconds.
CT Scans vs Traditional X-Rays
CT scans are more sophisticated x-rays. If you look at an x-ray machine as a magnifying glass, then a CT scanner is a telescope.
Traditional x-rays display flat 2D images of all body structures overlapping on a single plane. CT scans are more versatile because you can arrange the machine around the patient to rotate and capture images at different angles in many sections. When you get a CT scan, you are horizontal on a table, while the x-ray machine travels around you rotating up to 360 degrees. More information than ever can be generated about targeted areas of the body.
CT Scan Technology Today
In 1970s England, CT scans were first invented and used to generate images of the brain. Prior to this, there was no way to view the soft tissues of the body or internal structures like blood, infection or tumors.
Today, this advanced imaging technology is critical for diagnosing and evaluating headaches or trauma, cancer, stroke, blood clots, appendicitis, pneumonia, complex fractures and much more.
Mobile CT scanners are also used in ambulances for patients who may have suffered a stroke. In these cases, there is a vital need for immediate images. The first CT scan equipment took minutes to generate a single cross-section of the body. Now, we can achieve hundreds of images of the entire body in seconds.

It seems these days that liberals look for any excuse to accuse conservatives of racism, even when there’s no reason. If they can’t directly make the accusation, then they’re certain to imply it. Such was the case Saturday when CNN contributor and Daily Beast columnist Sally Kohn implied racism with a tweet wondering why conservatives aren’t worried about the border with Canada,Twitchy reported.
“Along US/Canada border for few days, not single border patrol agent. Why aren’t conservatives complaining about border security here? Hmm,” she tweeted, in what was clearly an effort to foment hate against conservatives.
Although not directly stated, the implication is quite clear. Conservatives aren’t complaining about the northern border because of racism, despite the fact that thousands of illegal immigrants are not pouring over it to get into the country. Kohn’s implication was noted by a number of people who took her to task for the offensive message.
“Good grief, what an absolute moron you are, Sally. Do you even care about the truth? Pathetic,” one person said in response.
“You must be in Michigan/Canada. That’s where the border patrol keeps Americans IN,” another person sarcastically noted.
“[I]’m gonna have to remove you from my ‘smart liberal’ list for that tweet. Getting smaller everyday,” said Twitter user “Rae Leggett.”
Several people, falling just short of drawing Kohn a picture with crayons, informed her that unlike the southern border, there is no influx of illegals streaming across the border with Canada. One person told her that people in Canada actually wish to remain there. Other critics attacked Kohn personally, questioning her intelligence.

Our goal is to create a better connection with growers by showing them the investments Mission has made to help promote California avocados both domestically and in export markets," said Keith Barnard, Director of Global Sourcing.
The site is beneficial for both current Mission avocado growers and those interested in learning more about grower partnerships. According to a press release, the website boasts a single page format that is easy to navigate either through scrolling, or an interactive grid at the top.
The website has an up-to-date calendar that lists all Mission Produce and California avocado industry events. Additionally, the site also features Mission’s collection of diverse and experienced field staff, so growers can connect with the best-suited staff member to their needs.
"We believe that this new site will allow our growers to have a very informative experience as we continue to grow as a leader in the avocado category," continued Barnard.
Growers will also have access to a plethora of avocado growing information, tips, and food safety updates through the updated site.

Counting of votes for the by-election to the Araria Lok Sabha constituency and two assembly seats in Bihar will begin on Wednesday morning amid tight security arrangements.The by-poll in Araria is being viewed as a test for the ruling JD(U)-BJP combine as well as the opposition RJD-Congress alliance, ahead of the big battle in the general elections due next year.The by-election to the Araria seat was necessitated by the death of sitting RJD lawmaker Mohd Taslimuddin. In the Bhabua and Jehanabad Assembly constituencies, where by-polls were also held, the voter turnout was 54.03% and 50.06% respectively.The ruling JD(U)-BJP combine and the opposition RJD-Congress alliance were locked in a battle on the three seats.This is the first electoral battle in the state since Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who also heads the JD(U), walked out of the alliance with the RJD and the Congress and joined the BJP-led NDA last year.In Jehanabad, the RJD hopes to retain the Assembly seat that fell vacant after the death of Mundrika Yadav. The party gave ticket to Yadav’s son Kumar Krishna Mohan.On the other hand, the BJP is hopeful of retaining the Bhabhua Assembly seat riding on a sympathy wave for Anand Bhushan Pandey whose death at the age of 48 necessitated the bypoll. The saffron party fielded Pandey’s wife Rinky Rani.

Agilent Technologies Adds Custom miRNA Capability to Online Microarray Design Tool
News Jan 15, 2009
Agilent Technologies Inc. has announced the release of eArray 5.4 online microarray design tool, which enables users to design custom microRNA (miRNA) microarrays. miRNA is a rapidly emerging field of study because researchers are increasingly associating these abundant molecules with some types of cancers, heart disease, other disorders and stem-cell differentiation.
Researchers can use Agilent’s pre-designed human, mouse or rat miRNA probes, or access miRNA sequences for all 87 species in Sanger 12.0 in the designs of their miRNA microarrays.
Agilent also announced updates to its human and mouse microarrays, miRNA Release 12.0, which contain the latest probes from Sanger miRBASE 12.0 database. Like all Agilent miRNA microarrays, these include about 15,000 features and are printed eight-arrays-per-slide.
“The miRNA community is eager to profile more miRNAs as they become available in the public domain, and we’re enabling researchers to do this rapidly on a proven microarray platform with robust, user-friendly protocols,” said Sangita Parikh, Agilent miRNA product manager.
eArray enables users to design custom microarrays by choosing from Agilent-optimized probes, uploading their own sequences or designing new probes using eArray tools. When the array design is complete, the file is uploaded to Agilent where the ink-jet-based SurePrint fabrication can print any probes at any location. Sixty mer oligos provide a high level of sensitivity. Delivery of the finished microarrays can be made in two weeks. eArray also enables researchers to collaborate on designs from remote locations.
In a new study in cells, University of Illinois researchers have adapted CRISPR gene-editing technology to cause the cell’s internal machinery to skip over a small portion of a gene when transcribing it into a template for protein building. This gives researchers a way not only to eliminate a mutated gene sequence, but to influence how the gene is expressed and regulated.
Researchers published today a detailed description of the complete genome of bread wheat, the world's most widely-cultivated crop. This work will pave the way for the production of wheat varieties better adapted to climate challenges, with higher yields, enhanced nutritional quality and improved sustainability.


The stress of the holidays are behind us! However, the safety of your home may still be in danger during these next winter months.
The more it continues to snow, the more at risk your home is in. Yes, snow is beautiful at first glance; however it can be damaging to your home and without you even knowing it.
Summer months cause soil around your home to dry out, ultimately creating cracks and shifting soil. Unfortunately, the colder weather also has an impact on creating dry soil around the foundation of your home. Colder weather brings drier air. This dry air removes all moisture from the soil, which once again causes cracks and settlement for your home’s foundation.
These cracks allow water from melted snow, frost, and ice to enter which can cause major damage to your home’s basement or crawl space.
In addition to water damage to your home’s basement or crawl space, the water which gathers from the melted snow or ice will create pressure against your home’s foundation when it enters the cracks in the soil. This pressure is dangerous because it will be the cause of foundation problems within your home. Telltale signs such as sticking doors or windows, sinking floors, or cracks in your walls will be present.
Freezing is another major problem that will affect your home’s foundation. When snow, frost, or ice melt into cracks in the soil, sometimes they will freeze in those cracks. This causes those cracks to expand, which will cause bigger problems for your home.
Contact Foundation Recovery Systems today for a free foundation inspection today. Be sure to keep your home and family safe before any more snowfall has the chance to harm your home’s foundation.

Here we are at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, contemplating Giovanni Paolo Pannini's 1757 version of a database! The painting at the MFA is one of 4 similar ones Pannini painted for the Duke de Choisel. Here is a webpage with the others.
And here is a pic of Candice Breitz's video installation, Queen (A Portrait of Madonna), comprised of 30 screens of Madonna fans recorded individually singing the entire 73-minute Immaculate Collection album acapella (to us, while listening to it on earphones). Interesting to think about these two works alongside each other, frames against frames, windows into the culture of their times.

You may have noticed that every corporate office, whether big or small, has some indoor plants. These indoor office plants are not only a lifeline for a healthy environment but also an ornament of the office. You can take the example of world-class offices of big corporations such as Google, Microsoft, and Apple. All of them have featured different types of indoor plants in their offices. These plants may be categorized into natural indoor office plants, artificial indoor office plants, and rental office plants. This shows the importance of these plants at workplaces. There are many benefits associated with them and it is impossible for any office not to include these plants in their interior. They make your office closer to nature. And we know that anything closer to nature is beneficial for human beings. The positive energy emerging from these plants improves the productivity level and creativity of your employees.
Measures required for the maintenance of indoor office plants:
It is not easy to grow plants indoors. They need your proper attention and care. Every plant has some special requirements to flourish indoor and vary from plant to plant. These requirements include the conditions of soil, temperature, soil, humidity and etc. For example, some plants need sunlight and dry soil while some need indirect light and wet soil. However, the following are some maintenance measures that are common for every indoor plant.
- Cleaning & dusting.
- Maintaining soil quality.
- Spraying insecticides to eliminate insects if any.
- Proper arrangement of light.
- Fertilization if necessary.
- Lastly, repotting if required.
All of these measures require proper knowledge of plants, maintenance skills, equipment, attention to detail, and most of all your precious time. However, you don’t need to worry about these measures at all. At Toronto Bulk flowers, we are offering you maintenance services for your indoor plants.

Difference between natural and artificial indoor office plants:
Most organizations are using artificial indoor plants now a day. It is hard to spot any difference between artificial and natural plants. Artificial plants are easy to maintain. You just have to clean them on a regular basis. But they cannot take the place of natural plants because natural plants have many benefits. If you are planning to use artificial plants then contact us we have a complete range of artificial indoor plants. However, it is advisable to place natural plants instead of artificial ones at your offices. The artificial indoor office plants have the following demerits.
- firstly, the beauty and splendor of artificial plants will fade away with the passage of time.
- Secondly, the air quality of your office cannot be improved by artificial plants.
- Thirdly, you will have to exchange them for new ones after some time so that they may look natural.
You may be wondering whether your workplace can support living plants or not. Just contact us via mail or phone call at (416) 568-8009. Our plant expert will make a survey of your office and will determine the best plant options for you.
