Finding an extremely healthy food option is tricky. But if you can pick seasonal fruits as your healthy snacks, you choose the right one. On the one hand, fruits are so delicious that you can make several desserts. On the other hand, seasonal fruits are enriched with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Dieticians across the planet suggest that people should consume fruit every day. Eating seasonal fruit every day can lower blood pressure. Besides, this can also help reduce heart diseases, eye problems, mineral deficiency, etc. Some fruits even help to promote weight loss.
Why do doctors and dieticians especially suggest seasonal fruits?
There are a few reasons why you should choose seasonal fruits. Here are those.
- Seasonal fruits like mango, pomegranate, grapes, litchis, strawberries, etc., are enriched with higher nutritional value. Usually, seasonal fruits ripen naturally under direct sunlight. This makes the fruits healthy, fresher, and taste better. Besides, naturally, ripened fruits or vegetables contain essential antioxidants and phytonutrients.
- Seasonal fruits like passion fruits, dragon fruit, peaches, blackberries, blueberries, kiwi, etc, are considered exclusively pricey fruits almost everywhere. But when these fruits are consumed as seasonal fruits, you can get these fruits at a much cheaper price. Also, in the specific season of the fruits, you can get a lot of these fruits. That means there is no need for proper storage options to save these fruits for later. You can simply buy and consume in the season.
Which are essential micronutrients people get from fruits?
Fruits, vegetables, etc., provide many essential nutrients to humans. These important micronutrients are responsible for providing health benefits. Some of those are as follows.
- Calcium: Calcium is beneficial for healthy and strong bones and teeth in human bodies. Also, calcium helps mobility in muscles, glands, nerves, etc.
- Fiber: it is another important benefit that fruits provide to humans. Fiber helps to stay away from coronary heart disease. Also, it is important for regular bowel movements.
- Folate: some fruits, like pomegranate, is enriched with folate that helps to keep the baby’s brain normal before and after birth.
- Iron: Many fruits, like beetroot, blackberries, pomegranate, etc, are packed with iron. Iron is responsible for normal blood count or hemoglobin count. Iron also keeps cells in a running condition.
- Potassium: potassium helps to keep normal blood pressure, and it is helpful for metabolizing carbohydrates.
- Sodium: throughout the whole body, sodium is essential for keeping cells active.
- Vitamin A: This vitamin is responsible for keeping your skin and eyes in good condition. Vitamin A also helps to fight various bacterial infections.
- Vitamin C: vitamin C is essential for good gum condition. Also, it cures wounds easily.
- Vitamin B complex: vitamin B complex helps to cell health, enhance energy level, keep brain cells active, hormonal balance, etc.
- Magnesium: Magnesium is another important nutrient human bodies need for healthy bones. Besides, magnesium is beneficial for good levels of enzymes that keep human bodies active and in a working state.
Some fruits also provide Vitamin E, K, and other nutrients like selenium.
What are seasonal fruits’ nutritional values?
There are a lot of well-known delicious seasonal fruits that come with great nutritional value. Here are very common seasonal fruits with their dietary details.
- Mango: Summer can not be completed without freshly cut mango slices. Everyone cherishes this sweet and pulpy fruit. Mango is enriched with vitamins A, B6, K, and E. It is also a great source of potassium, magnesium, etc.
- Beetroot: Beetroot is consumed as a salad dressing in many places, a great iron source. It is a good source of 11% of daily potassium requirements and 9% of your daily magnesium in the human body.
- Watermelon: It is another summer treat that is filled with water. You can get Vitamin C, Potassium, Vitamin B5, Vitamin A, etc.
- Grapes: These extremely delicious small juicy fruits are also a favorite fruit of many. It is packed with Copper, Vitamin K, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, Potassium, Manganese, etc.
- Kiwi: Chinese gooseberry, known as the kiwi, is slightly sour and sweet with green juicy pulp. It is a big source of vitamin C, choline, lutein, tocopherol, and zeaxanthin which can remove free radicals from human bodies.
- Dragon fruit: This is a cactus-based fruit found in any tropical region. This fruit contains vitamins A, C, calcium, iron, magnesium, etc.
Apart from these exclusive seasonal fruits, you can try custard apples, muskmelon, dates, plums, oranges, lines, and many more. Every fruit comes with its own benefits and nutritional values. You can easily pick your favorite delicious fruits to get all those nutrients. If you find more nutritious exotic fruits, you can order online from different fruit and vegetable shopping apps. People now demand more such apps to deliver their favorite fruits home. So, start consuming fruits and stay active and healthy always.

It's been a memorable season for Aquinas first-year coach Karen Hayes , but it's not finished yet.
With Wednesday night's victory, the Fighting Irish boys tennis team is in the Class A state quarterfinals after reaching the state semifinals last season.
Though the Fighting Irish lost some players from the previous team and faced a tough draw, Aquinas is still closing in on the title.
"It's been a very exciting first year," Hayes said. "They got me nervous, but the boys are pumped. Hopefully we'll be in the final four."
Collin O'Quinn , Denton Boone and James O'Quinn are the three singles players, and Hayes complimented Boone's and James O'Quinn's quickness and consistency as they picked up wins in the team's victory against Eagles Landing Christian Academy.
Aquinas also has strong doubles players as John Ingram and Andrew May (No. 1 doubles) and Chris Pak and Sadler Quarles (No. 2 doubles) have aided Aquinas' run.
Next up is a meeting with Pace Academy at 2:30 p.m. Monday at Forest Hills Racquet & Swim Club.
"They're so into faith -- they pray every match," Hayes said. "They're so thankful for every win, every point and are supportive of each other. They just try so hard."
COACHING CLINIC: About 40 high school football coaches will come together on Saturday for the CSRA Football Coaching Clinic at Peak Rehabilitation, Fitness and Performance's and ATHELITE Sports Training Academy's new facility in Evans.
North Augusta coach Dan Pippin , who worked with Lakeside coach Jarrett Troxler to help come up with the event, said this is the first of its kind in the Augusta area. Pippin sees this as an opportunity for local coaches to share information, discuss football and learn.
Lee Sawyer, of Strom Thurmond, Washington County's Joel Ingram and other coaches will be speaking throughout the day. Pippin said the first speaker is scheduled to talk at 8:30 a.m.
"You have to have people want to speak, and I just called a bunch of coaches and everyone was more than happy to do it," Pippin said.
SIGNINGS: Butler boys basketball player Chris Washington signed with Tallahassee Community College last week.
Washington, listed at 6-foot-7, averaged a double-double this past season as the Bulldogs won the Region 3-AAA Tournament title and advanced to the Class AAA state finals.
In tennis, A.R. Johnson's E'lysia Ortiz signed with Florida A&M.
Ortiz has been the school's No. 1 singles player since her freshman year.

Over the recent years, as the solar industry shifted from undersupply to oversupply, dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) have been receiving increasing interest. A number of manufacturers have begun investing in this sector. EnergyTrend, a research division of TrendForce, interviewed Jason Wong, Vice President of Jintex Corporation and asked him to shed light on the future of DSSC industry.
Over the 30 years since its establishment, Jintex Corporation has been dedicated to supplying high-quality industrial chemicals for various industries, including textiles, dyeing, leather processing, paper making, electronics and many others. Due to a special opportunity, the company discovered that its core technologies can go a long way in the DSSC sector and became determined to enter the DSSC industry. In 2008, the company cooperated with the leading maker Dyesol for technology migration and began developing DSSC modules and intermediates. Today, Jintex owns its technological edge and becomes the TiO2 and electrolyte supplier of the top DSSC makers in the world.
Biomimetic Technology with Simple Manufacturing Process and Short Payback Period
Wong indicated that DSSC absorbs light through biomimetic technology and has several advantages including small size, short payback period, simple manufacturing process, capable of using indoor lighting to generate power and transparency, which Si-based solar cells do not have. DSSC’s conversion generation efficiency is lower but so is its manufacturing cost. In the future, the goal is for DSSC to become widely adopted in 3C products as the electricity storage unit, together with the lithium battery. DSSC is able to be the secondary power of consumer electric products such as cell phone and remote control which require smaller amount of power.
The company’s Vice President, Tim Lai, pointed out that Jintex enters the mid and downstream of DSSC industry and hopes to find the most advantageous stance to secure its leading position. DSSC’s key materials including dye, titania slurry and electrolyte. Jintex supplies its own titania slurry and electrolyte, which helps it easier to control cost and quality. Notably, Jintex has successfully developed many patent technologies. For example, Jintex developed the patented green dye, which is certified by Dr. Grätzel of having the highest conversion efficiency (12.3%). Such a breakthrough effectively narrows the gap between DSSC and Si-based solar cell in terms of conversion efficiency. Lai stressed that the company possesses a lot of patents and know-how, which can maintain its products’ competitiveness in the market.
Glass and Soft Substrate DSSC Module Technology
As for the midstream battery and module, Lai stated that Jintex’s glass and soft substrate technology for DSSC packaging and its ability in designing cell structure and applying material and dye will be their competitive advantage in providing turnkey solutions for the new companies and the equipment manufacturers in the future. As for the downstream applications, Jintex will actively seek collaboration with product developers and create new innovative applications. So far, the company has developed sample products such as outdoor charging pack, bicycle charging module and an innovation for solar-powered LEGO toys.
The company sees a technology breakthrough in 2012, which will considerably reduce the total cost, and predicts the booming growth to occur in 2-3 years. Currently its module is still in small-amount trial production, and the time for it to enter mass production depends on the market demand. The company will strategically invest its resource for mass production when the timing is right.
Jintex is one of the few companies that are able to mass produce DSSC products and also have the technologies for dye, key intermediates and module. China has listed DSSC as one of the key focuses in the 12th Five-Year Plan. Therefore, the company hopes the government to take more aggressive actions about integrating the resources in the industrial and academic circles, establishing a comprehensive supply chain and stimulating the development of related industries.

The Snow Tour is now live in Mario Kart Tour, bringing a classic course and a brand-new character to the mobile game! Players will have the opportunity to revisit the DK Summit track, which originally appeared in Mario Kart Wii. Once again, winter variants for Peach and Wario will appear in the game, but an official announcement has not been made for the new character debuting in the tour. Eagle-eyed fans were able to spot a likely candidate in the background of the promo image, however! Between Peach and Wario, a Yellow Penguin version of Toad can be seen, which is a design that originally appeared in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
The tour announcement for the game can be found in the Tweet embedded below.
Mario Kart Wii remains one of the most popular games in the series, so the addition of DK Summit in Mario Kart Tour will likely hold a lot of appeal for fans. The snow-covered course seems like the perfect pick for the current theme. While the Mario Kart series has a tendency to bring back tracks from previous games, this is the first time that DK Summit has been made available since Mario Kart Wii released in 2008, so it should have an even greater appeal among longtime fans.
The addition of DK Summit gives hope to those that have wanted to see more Mario Kart Wii tracks added to the game. The announcement on Twitter resulted in a number of requests for Coconut Mall, which is one of the more popular courses from the Wii game. While the course itself is enjoyable, the music has long been a favorite among Mario Kart fans. It remains to be seen whether or not the course will appear in Mario Kart Tour, but it definitely seems like a strong possibility!
Are you excited for Mario Kart Tour's Snow Tour event? Are you still enjoying the mobile racing game? Let us know in the comments or share your thoughts directly on Twitter at @Marcdachamp to talk all things gaming!

I think I can safely say that sandals are the most iconic summer shoe, and they have been that way for millennia. I know that for a fact because I just typed "history of sandals" into Google and did some casual research. (There's a random search query I never thought I'd use…) Seriously, though, they've been around since antiquity, way back when our ancestors crafted them out of bark, papyrus, and other natural materials.
These days, sandals are as prevalent as ever, and they will be for years (probably thousands of years) to come because they're cool in every sense of the word. Not only do they keep our feet cool in warm weather, but they also look cool, which means they marry fashion with function.
While various summer sandal trends have come and gone, I think the most powerful sandals are also the simplest ones. If we take away any unnecessary frills, embellishments, and adornments, we let the timeless design of the sandal speak for itself. That's why I'm a self-professed sandal minimalist. Keep scrolling to see the 11 best sandal brands for minimalist girls. Whether they're heeled or flat, these sandals are the pinnacle of breezy summer style.
Loeffler Randall has been one of my favorite footwear brands for years. As such, it's one of the first ones I turn to when summer rolls around. Whether you prefer a flat leather sandal or a heeled mule (or maybe both?), you're sure to find a pair to fit your minimalist aesthetic.
Sure, this is a brand that most everyone already knows and loves, but I feel like it deserves more credit for its sandal designs, so here it goes. From strappy-heeled sandals to sleek flats, & Other Stories is basically an online treasure trove of minimalist sandals.
Remember how I was talking about the long and storied history of sandals? This brand pays homage to that. Ancient Greek Sandals specializes in sandals alone. While it carries a lot of traditional designs made in traditional materials, I like the brand's new jelly sandals. They're a grown-up version of the jelly slides I used to wear when I was a kid.
Cult Gaia makes structural sandals that look clean and futuristic (which makes them look like they're built for all the minimalist cool girls out there). I love all of Cult Gaia's sandals but especially the ones that feature geometric statement heels. Those ones feel extra modern.
If you like Cult Gaia's sandals, then you're sure to like Yuul Yie's as well. They feature similar design elements. Plus, they're particularly polished, which is why I think they'd be the perfect choice for wearing to work or to attend an elegant summertime wedding.
ATP Atelier is another sandal brand that combines a modern aesthetic with a minimalist one. I've been adding the brand's strappy, heeled sandals to my cart recently. Although, its leather crossover flats are also on my mind as we get closer and closer to summer.


Food and water are essentials of life and in journalism often covered from aspects close to the individual. But food and water are also big business and international politics. Dataharvest 2022 will have Food and Water as a theme – and the goal will be to build a network of investigative journalists who cover and collaborate on both the larger and the close-to-home aspects of the sectors.
The subject is of course very large and can range from EU farm subsidies to truck deliveries. We will identify key players and organisations and look into the interests shaping national and European policies on food and water.
Agricultural funds are 30 per cent of the EU budget, and we will look into the policies and the division of the funds after the new agricultural reform for 2023-27. This takes us in a way back to the roots of Dataharvest, which began with reporters working together to get data about the agricultural funds through FOI requests! Other potential topics could be land ownership, biodiversity, animal welfare, trade in food commodities, supermarkets, food security…
Water is the other part of the theme – the “oil of the future”, a valuable resource that many are poised to capitalize on. Access to clean water is jeopardized by private interests, aggressive agricultural and industrial policies. Also, privatization of water networks and wastewater management system has an effect on these public services. We will explore the influence that climate change and different industrial activities have on our drinking water and our rivers and learn more about the water stress issue in Europe.
Moreover, as the EU has pledged to reduce the use and environmental and health-related risk of chemical pesticides and fertilisers by 2050, as concrete targets of the EU Farm to Fork Strategy, the topic of pesticides in both agriculture and water management has become extremely important.
During the conference we will dive into the background for new stories on food and water, talk to the experts and the scientists and maybe form new collaborations. During the pre-conference HackDay we will find, clean and prepare datasets related to food and water, and during the conference we will explain how they can be used for your next story.


CD4 Flow Cytometry Questions & Answers
Are there guidelines for a lab that wants to switch from 3 color flow cytometry to 4 color flow cytometry?
If your lab wants to switch from 3 color flow cytometry to 4 color flow cytometry, click here for guidelines. Please let your PNL and the IQA know that you will be performing this study prior to starting. Send the results to the IQA statisticians listed in the document. The data will then be discussed with the cross network IQA QA working group and you will be notified about the outcome of the data. Do not switch until you hear from the committee.
On the Facscount report, do the sites need to keep track and plot any of the following Slope intercept R values?
The acceptability of these statistical values is embedded in the FACSCount software and the software will trigger a failure if these values are outside of the defined acceptable limits. Since the software is monitoring these parameters for acceptability, it seems redundant to manually plot these values for tracking purposes.
What is the recommended allowable difference in absolute count between 2 FACScounts, 2 similar Flow cytometers, and /or between FACScount and another flow cytometer?
We recommend that each lab define the acceptable limits of variablility for each analyte within the guidelines outlined by the manufacturer. Our testing shows variations within 10% for the CD3, CD4, and CD8 parameters when testing normal samples between different FACScount instruments, between flow cytometers, and between Facscount and other instrument/methodology. Out testing shows variations within 15% when testing samples with CD4 counts below 200.
What do you do if you do not have a normal donor each day that you need to run your instruments?
If a normal donor is not available each day the instrument is run, a previously tested patient sample that displays marker values within normal ranges may be substituted. This specimen must be used within the pre-defined limits of sample stability for the testing system. This alternative testing method may also be applied to satisfy the requirement for a daily CD4 low control. A patient sample with low CD4 level (<200) may be selected as the CD4 low control.
If you need to refer a sample to a referral lab that uses the same analyzer, would you recommend that the primary sample be sent or would it be better to prepare and fix the sample?
Samples should be sent as an unprocessed specimen to control for variables between testing sites unless a study was conducted between the sites to show correlation of testing prepared and fixed samples sent from a primary lab. It is important that should the need arise to send a sample to a referral lab that the sample is received at the referral site within the defined stability limits of the specimen.
Can you provide a list of all websites/companies to order the CD4 controls from?
Note that some control materials may not be compatible with the testing system.
- Beckman Coulter
Cytometry www.beckman.com Immunotrol Cells, CD4 Normal Immunotrol Low Cells, CD4 Low
Dickinson ImmunoCytometry Systems www.bdbiosciences.com
Multi-Check Control, CD4 Normal Control
Multi-Check Control, CD4 Low Control
These controls may not be compatible with the Beckman Coulter Q-Prep Cytometry System
- Streck Labs www.streck.com
CD Chex Plus, CD4 Normal
CD Chex Plus, CD4 Low
CD Chex Plus BC, CD4 Normal designed for Beckman Coulter Q-prep
CD Chex Plus BC, CD4 Low designed for Coulter Q-prep Cytometry system.
Can you explain the difference between single and dual platforms?
In the CDC MMWR Guidelines for Performing Single Platform Absolute CD4+ T-Cell Determinations, the definition of single-platform echnology (SPT) is a process in which absolute counts of lymphocyte subsets are measured from a single tube by a single instrument. SPT incorporates internal calibrator beads of known quantity in the analysis of specimens by three- or four-color flow cytometry. Compare this with the definition of a dual platform; dual-platform technology is a method in which absolute counts are derived from measurements obtained from two instruments---a flow cytometer and hematology analyzer.
The FACSCount flow cytometer is a single platform system. The absolute marker values tested in this system may be reported as a percentage of the total lymphocytes with the use of a hematology count for the specimen. For example, a CD4 count of 1218 cells/µl obtained from the FACSCount instrument divided by the total lymphocyte count of 2230 obtained from the hematology analyzer equals a CD4% value of 54.62.
Can you provide instructions on how to gate the UK NEQAS samples?
UKNEQAS samples are stabilized whole blood samples with light scatter and fluorescence staining properties that are different from fresh blood specimens and as such may not satisfy the automatic gating algorithm defined by the instrument software. The instrument software may flag the analysis with an error identifying questionable sample integrity. In this instance, a manual gating should be applied to the analysis. The gating of the populations should be reviewed to ensure that the population clusters are gated to include the entire cluster without any interfering background and debris events.
Example of software-defined automatic gating of specimen of questionable sample integrity.
Example of manual gating to correct for overlapping interfering events in the analysis.
Can you provide
details on what needs to be done to validate a new flow
A correlation study using both normal and patient samples representing the expected range of reportable result values is recommended to validate a new instrument or method. A minimum of thirty samples should be analyzed on both instruments and correlation statistics applied to determine acceptability of data. In addition, a normal level and low CD4 level should be assayed in replicates (10 times each) on the new instrument to evaluate intra-instrument variations.
What are the IQA's recommendations for the running of calibration beads for clinical labs running CD4 counts?
Clinical labs performing CD4 enumerations should follow manufacturer's recommendations for running daily calibration beads.
For the BD FACSCount System, they are the low, medium, and high control beads. For the BD FACSCalibur or FACScan systems, it is the FACSComp Calibrite beads. For the Beckman Coulter Cytometry System, they are the FlowCheck and FlowSet Fluorospheres. In addition, the BD FACSCalibur and Beckman Coulter Cytometer Systems should be monitored monthly for fluorescence linearity. Spherotech Rainbow Beads and ImmunoBrite beads are available to evaluate the linearity of the Becton Dickinson and Beckman Coulter systems respectively.
What are the IQA's recommendations for commercial controls?
Commercial controls are available to monitor the precision and accurately of the testing system. The CD4 normal and CD4 low controls are characterized with expected target range values. The manufacturer defined ranges have variations greater than 25%. Labs should determine their own target ranges for these control material.
The advantage of using a commercial control is that commercial controls are stable over a period of several months. In addition, the results from the testing of commercial controls can be plotted onto a Levey Jennings chart for monthly monitoring of the system. At the start, a lab should use the manufacturers provided ranges to monitor the daily QC of the lab. As the lab gains more confidence and experience, the ranges provided by the manufacturer should be adjusted. Running commercial controls are not meant to be used to establish the normal ranges.
Does the IQA recommend running replicate samples to check day to day instrument performance? If the answer to this question is yes, do you recommend monitoring % CD4 counts or absolute CD4 counts or both?
It is not necessary to run replicate samples routinely to check day to day instrument performance. The daily control runs would serve as the monitor for instrument and system performance.
Is it necessary to run 2 other controls (? patient bloods) where one has a ratio of <1.0 and the other has a ratio >1.0?
The use of the control beads; low, med, and high beads, serve to monitor the testing system to assess the pipetting accuracy and system linearity. The use of the normal and low level controls serves to monitor the precision and accuracy of the testing protocol. Labs should demonstrate their proficiency to test for values at the levels of routine patient testing. To achieve this, normal level and low CD4 level controls with known target value are recommended. Commercially available controls with normal and low CD4 levels are ready sources for the daily control runs. In addition, a fresh specimen from a normal donor should be included to monitor any variations in testing fresh daily patient specimens.
Patient specimens may be used as a substitute to the commercial controls but are limited to evaluating the target values based on the 1-2 day stability of the sample. A patient specimen which is selected as the daily control has been tested with a reported CD4 value and will be used to monitor the instrument ability to replicate this target value. The tolerance limit should be determine based on previous replicate studies performed on the instrument as part of the instrument validation and set up. The advantage of a commercial control over a patient sample is the stability of the sample over several months. A monthly Levey Jennings chart can be used to monitor the performance of the system in the testing of the commercial controls. This monitoring system can not be applied when using a different patient control daily as the target control.
For reagent lot parallel testing, is it necessary to run a patient with a ratio >1.0 and a patient with a ratio <1.0. If so, how reproducible should the results be?
For lot-to-lot reagent comparisons, it is not necessary to run two different levels of samples. A normal sample should suffice and the range of acceptability is the same as that defined in the replicated study performed as part of the instrument validation. Generally, the range of the marker values defined in intra-instrument variation studies are less than 10%.
Are the CD4 + CD8 values supposed to equal the CD3 values and if so +/- what percentage is acceptable? Would you think a difference of 1500 between the CD3 value and the total of the CD4 + CD8 is problematic?
The CD4 plus CD8 absolute values (T sum) should equal the CD3 value +/- 15% in most cases. A difference of 1500 between CD3 and the T sum values does seem rather high and may warrant further investigation. When considering percentage values, the acceptable range between the CD3 and T sum values is +/- 5%. Samples may test outside of these ranges but should be identified for additional testing.
Other QC measures that you suggest by the IQA
For labs with more than one flow cytometer, a replicate sample should be run daily on each additional instrument in use to show instrument correlation. The tolerance limits of the monitoring parameters should be previously defined by instrument correlation studies.
Full service cytometers should be monitored monthly for instrument linearity. Calibration beads are available to monitor system fluorescence linearity. Beckman Coulter provides ImmunoBrite Beads for this purpose for their cytometry systems. Spherotech Rainbow Beads are available for use in BD cytometry systems.


Duty Exemption Scheme is an export promotion scheme and it enables import of inputs required for export production free of Customs duty. Advance Licenses are issued under Duty Exemption Scheme to allow import of raw materials, which are physically incorporated in the export product.
A Duty Remission Scheme enables post export replenishment/ remission of duty on inputs used in the export product.
These schemes consist of:
1. Advance Authorization Scheme: Under this scheme, duty free import of inputs is allowed, that are physically incorporated in the export product (after making normal allowance for wastage) with minimum 15% value addition. Advance Authorization (AA) is issued for inputs in relation to resultant products as per Standard Input Output Norms (SION) or on the basis of self-declaration, as per procedures of FTP. AA normally have a validity period of 12 months for the purpose of making imports and a period of 18 months for fulfilment of Export Obligation (EO) from the date of issue. AA is issued either to a manufacturer exporter or merchant exporter tied to a supporting manufacturer.
2. Advance Authorization for annual requirement: Manufacturer exporter with export performance in the preceding year and registered with excise authorities, except for products which are not excisable for which no such registration is required, shall be entitled for such licenses. The entitlement under this scheme shall be up to 200 % (or the FOB value of export in the preceding licensing year. This shall only be issued for items having SION.
The license shall be valid for 12 months for imports and 18 months for exports from the date of its issuance. Each license will have one port of registration for imports. Exports can take place from any of the ports covered under the scheme. After expiry of 18 months the license holder shall furnish proof of having fulfilled export obligation by submitting the prescribed documents. In case of bonafide default in fulfilment of export obligation, the license holder can apply for regularization.
3. Duty Free Import Authorization (DFIA) Scheme: DFIA is issued to allow duty free import of inputs, with a minimum value addition requirement of 20%. DFIA is exempted only from the payment of basic customs duty. DFIA shall be issued on post export basis for products for which SION has been notified. Separate schemes exist for gems and jewellery sector.
Once export obligation has been fulfilled, request for transferability of the Authorization or the inputs imported against it may be made before the Regional Authority. Once, transferability is endorsed, the Authorization holder will be at liberty to transfer the duty-free inputs, other than fuel and any other items notified by DGFT for this purpose
4. Duty Drawback of Customs/Central Excise Duties/Service Tax: The scheme is administered by Department of Revenue. Under this scheme products made out of duty paid inputs are first exported and thereafter refund of duty is claimed in two ways:
5. Rebate of Service tax through all industry rates: Discount on service tax is applicable to input services availed by the exporter beyond the premises of production or manufacture of the goods. An exporter of goods can claim 100% refund of service tax paid on export of services used by him for manufacturing the export goods.
Exporters are eligible to avail following incentives & discounts:
6. Duty Entitlement Passbook (DEPB) Scheme: The objective of DEPB is to neutralize the incidence of Customs duty on the import content of the export product. The neutralization is provided by way of grant of duty credit against the export product.
Under the DEPB scheme, an exporter may apply for credit, as a specified percentage of FOB value of exports, made in freely convertible currency. The holder of DEPB shall have the option to pay additional customs duty, if any, in cash as well.

Container for freezable liquid Patent #: 4656840
ApplicationNo. 278941 filed on 09/27/1988

DescriptionThe invention relates to receptacles, packaging elements or packs for contents having special problems of storage or transport or designed to serve purposes other than packaging after being emptied of their content, specifically containers produced from a plastic suitable for the product to be packaged.
These containers serve for packaging
food liquids, such as water, fruit juices, milk and derivatives or by-products of milk,
semi-liquid products, such as creams,
food powders or other powders (detergents).
In this sector, the prior art is described by the documents summarized below.
The document FR-A-2,063,175 describes a spherical bottle carrying cylindrical cells of a size identical to that of the stopper. The stopper of another similar bottle can be introduced and secured in one of these cells. The assemblies formed by these bottles can be made more complex by the use of spacers of the same diameter as the stoppers and of double length.
To assemble these bottles, it is necessary to use an accessory piece.
The document FR-A-2,574,757 describes a modular plastic bottle characterized by the assembly of successive modules, the said modules being joined to form a single assembly.
These bottles are assembled by screwing in an exclusively linear manner.
The document FR-A-2,276,236 describes packs, containers or pots convertible into toy elements, characterized in that they consist of hollow parallelepipeds which can be assembled together on at least three faces, each assembly being obtained as a result of the engagement of a male outer projection formed on one face of a parallelepiped into an outward-facing female recess formed on one face of another parallelepiped.
The assembly of these containers does not have any means for retaining the packs to one another.
The document DE-A-2,115,693 describes containers, characterized in that an assembly of two or more containers is made possible by the presence of corresponding reliefs and cavities on their faces.
The assembly of these containers does not have means for retaining the packs with one another other than the friction of the reliefs in the corresponding cavities.
The object of the invention is, in particular, to provide containers, the form of which allows a juxtaposition and/or superposition, without loss of space and without the addition of an outer packaging or a grouping wrapper, in order to provide a plurality of conventional capacities.
To achieve this, these containers each consist of a hollow modular cell comprising at least one neck and at least one recess serving as a receptacle for an identical neck of another cell, each modular cell being connectable to at least one other modular cell, the assembly being held together by snapping means activated as a result of the engagement of a neck of one cell into a recess of the juxtaposed cell.
In one embodiment, the modular cell is spherical.
In another embodiment, each modular cell is a hollow rectangular parallelepiped, at least one side of which is equipped with a circular neck concentric with the geometrical center of the side supporting this neck. At least one other side of the rectangular parallelepiped has a circular recess concentric with the geometrical center of the side equipped with the recess. The inside diameter of the recess is at least equal to the outside diameter of the neck.
In a preferred embodiment, the modular cells are cubic, and three consecutive faces of the cube are each equipped with an identical neck, the other three consecutive faces each being equipped with an identical recess, the outer dimensions of the necks corresponding to the inner dimensions of the recesses.
The main advantage of these containers is that, when a neck of one of the containers is placed in a recess of another identical container, the packaged-product capacity is doubled, the volume occupied by the containers so assembled being scarcely larger than the volume of product accommodated in these containers.
Other advantages will emerge from the description of preferred embodiments, given by way of non-limiting example, and from the drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a view of a container according to one embodiment,
FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic view of grouped containers,
FIG. 3 is a front view of a container according to FIG. 1,
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of grouped containers,
FIGS. 5, 5a and 5b are views of another form of containers with frustoconical necks and recesses equipped with snapping ribs and grooves adjacent to the joining faces of the containers,
FIGS. 6, 6a and 6b show an alternative version of the containers of FIG. 5, in which the rib is located at the top of the neck and the groove is located in the bottom of the recess,
FIGS. 7, 7a and 7b show an alternative form of the containers of FIGS. 5 and 6, in which each neck or each recess is equipped both with a corresponding groove and with a corresponding recess,
FIGS. 8, 8a and 8b show an alternative form of the containers of FIG. 5, in which the rib and the groove are located alternately on a neck or in a recess at a corresponding distance from the bottom of the recess and/or from the top of the neck.
The container illustrated in FIG. 1 is a hollow cube 1 having a neck 2, 2', 2" on each of the three consecutive faces and a recess 3, 3', 3" on each of the other three faces. The height (h) of the necks is equal to the depth (h') of the recesses.
The necks 2, 2', 2" are circular and concentric with the geometrical center of the side supporting each neck.
The recesses 3, 3', 3" are likewise circular and concentric with the geometrical center of the side supporting each recess.
The outside diameter (d) of the necks 2, 2', 2" corresponds to the inside diameter (d') of the recesses 3, 3', 3", so that any one of the necks 2, 2', 2" can be placed in any one of the recesses 3, 3', 3" during a grouping of the containers, as indicated in FIGS. 2 and 4.
Any one of the necks 2, 2', 2" and/or any one of the recesses 3, 3', 3" can serve as a filling orifice closed by a known means, stopper, cap, etc.
The removable fastening of at least two juxtaposable containers, one having at least one neck 2, 2', 2" and the other having at least one corresponding recess 3, 3', 3", is made effective by snapping means.
The snapping means consist of the presence on the neck 2, 2', 2", alternatively in the recess 3, 3', 3", of at least one circular groove 21 and of the presence in the recess, alternatively on the neck, of at least one circular rib 30, the cross-section and position of the rib corresponding to the cross-section of the position of the groove.
These snapping means are activated by exerting a slight pressure to bring the containers together after a neck of one has been placed in a recess of the other.
This snapping is reversible, the separation of two or more assembled containers being made easier as a result of the elasticity of the plastic used for producing these containers.
In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, the middle neck 2 has a closure formed by a screwed cover 20.
The cover 20 is equipped with a groove 21 near its base; when it is screwed in order to close the neck 2, this groove 21 becomes tangential to the face 10 supporting the neck 2.
The outside diameter (d) of the cover 20 is at most equal to the inside diameter (d') of any one of the recesses 3, 3', 3".
The other two necks 2', 2" likewise have, tangentially to their base, a groove 21 identical to the groove of the cover 20.
Each recess 3, 3', 3" has a circular rib 30 arranged tangentially to the outer face of the container, so that it assumes position in the groove 21 of the corresponding neck 2, 2', 2", when one or more containers are juxtaposed as a result of the introduction of a neck 2, 2', 2" into a recess 3, 3', 3".
The position and cross-section of each circular groove 21 correspond to the position and cross-section of any one of the ribs 30.
The circular groove 21 and/or the circular rib 30 can be continuous or discontinuous.
The means of rapid assembly of the modular cells face to face make it possible to produce compact forms giving the best possible weight/volume ratio for the transport and/or storage of the containers (FIG. 4).
These modular cells also form elements which can be assembled in different ways, in order to produce varied advertising, decorative or entertaining structures.
FIGS. 5, 5a and 5b illustrate an embodiment imparting greater efficiency to the snapping means consisting of the rib 30 located on the periphery of the recess 3, 3', 3" and interacting with the groove 21 likewise located on the periphery of the neck of the container.
The rib 30 and the groove 21 are circular, continuous or discontinuous, of corresponding cross-sections and both adjacent to the outer face 10 supporting the neck or the recess, so that the snapping of two containers lays these faces against one another.
The necks 2, 2', 2" and the recesses 3, 3', 3" are inscribed in a cone, the generatrix (a) of which forms an angle of 45° with the axes of symmetry XX, YY with which they are concentric.
The height h of the truncated cone of the necks 2, 2', 2" is equal to the height h' of the recesses 3, 3', 3".
The faces 10 of each container are joined by means of a bevel (p).
A generatrix (a) of each neck 2, 2', 2" is inscribed in the plane of each bevel (p), the said plane likewise forming an angle of 45° with the axes of symmetry XX, YY.
These characteristics give the containers so formed a greater rigidity.
The thrustoconical form of the necks and of the recesses affords a considerable advantage in terms of the production of these containers by compression molding.
This thrustoconical form makes it easier to insert a neck 2, 2', 2" into a recess 3, 3', 3" until a rib 30 coincides with a groove 21: a click occurs when the containers are effectively secured against one another.
FIGS. 6, 6a and 6b show an alternative version of the preceding embodiment:
The snapping means, namely the groove 21 and the rib 30, have a reverse position in the necks and the thrustoconical recesses.
The rib 30 is carried annularly on the top of the neck 2, 2', 2", and the snapping groove 21 is located in the bottom of the recess 3, 3', 3".
The coupling of one container to another becomes effective when the outer faces 10 meet under the effect of the pressure which introduces the rib 30 into the groove 21.
The embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 7, 7a and 7b has double snapping: each neck 2, 2', 2" and each recess 3, 3', 3" have both a rib 30 and a groove 21 which are respectively located one at the base and the other at the top, or vice versa, so that a groove corresponds to each rib.
The embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 8, 8a and 8b has simple snapping consisting of a single rib 30 and a single groove 21 which are respectively located on a neck 2, 2', 2" and in a recess 3, 3', 3" at a height of their wall which ensures exact coincidence at the moment of snapping.

On of the most recent of his Radio Four series on Russia (“The Wild East”) Martin Sixsmith quite casually mentioned that in May 1945, Churchill had floated plans for invading Russia. I must confess I had not previously heard of this, presumably it was revealed under a war-sensitive extension to the 30-year act (hiding some of its significance under the impact of the collapse of the Soviet Union); it certainly has not sparked off the sort of discussion it merits. It is an interesting insight into the double-dealing of so-called democratic politicians. The people of Britain were after all still being told that good old Uncle Joe [Stalin] was our firm ally. In the general election then going on, the Tories used (in working class areas) a book claiming that the alliance with Uncle Joe was essential for the future and accusing all other parties – including the CP [Communist Party] – of having Trotskyist tendencies. Also: one wonders how the Cairo mutiny [of the land, sea and air forces of the Greek government-in-exile] would have spread if this had been known at the time.

My heart goes out to all who have been affected by this worldwide pandemic. During times of crisis, we often come together in ways we've never come together before. We set aside insignificant things and shift our focus to what really matters most in life...the people we love and care about. As I reflect on the past months since things began to unfold with the coronavirus (COVID-19), I am humbled by and grateful for the work of our local emergency responders, hospital professionals, and other workers who are making it possible for people to get health care services, food, supplies and medications. These "Community Heroes" lend courage, strength and sacrifice through their service to others.
Being in the retirement living business, we at Morningstar Living have a monumental responsibility to take care of and protect the people we serve..."in health and in sickness." Caring for and protecting the residents and the clients we serve is what we do. We are responsible for hundreds of residents living at our two campuses in Nazareth, and the clients we provide in-home support and care to, who are living in their homes throughout the Lehigh Valley. Our residents and our clients rely on us 24/7/365. For this reason, we've taken some very extraordinary measures to limit the risk of infection and prevent the spread of the virus in our communities:
As I think about these extraordinary changes that we've made in a short period of time, I am in awe of my team members, who come to work faithfully and work tirelessly around the clock to make a difference in the lives of the people we serve. Our team of Nurses, CNAs, Caregivers, Social Services, Wellness, Physical Therapy, Neighborhood and Community Life, Culinary Services, Maintenance and Security, Groundskeeping, Housekeeping, Transportation, IT and Administration...these are the Morningstar Living Heroes.
Yes, the world has certainly changed as a result of COVID-19, and so have we at Morningstar Living. Who knows how long we'll be dealing with this pandemic and its' aftermath? And while there may be more changes and uncertainty in the months that lie ahead, there is one thing of which I am absolutely certain...the mission and core purpose of Morningstar Living has never been more important.
"Making a difference...by enriching life's journey for all we serve."

Proposals to pilot two Active Neighbourhoods in Sheffield have been launched today as residents are asked to help design plans for cleaner, safer, and quieter places to live.
Bus journeys on key commuter routes made quicker under new plans
Plans to improve reliability and journey time for public transport on Abbeydale Road and Ecclesall Road have been launched today.
The Connecting Sheffield proposals would give buses priority along the two key bus routes.
The launch follows COP26, the Department for Transport’s National Bus Strategy; Bus Back Better and the submission of the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority’s Bus Service Improvement Plan, all of which commit to making public transport better and more accessible.
The proposals are funded through the Department for Transport’s Transforming Cities Fund and together form part of the Connecting Sheffield programme. The funding is for improvements to travel routes that would help people switch to making journeys by walking, cycling or using public transport, particularly when commuting to work.
The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority was awarded £166m following a successful bid, to share between Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley. Sheffield was granted £55m, with an equal share in funding to be used on active travel and public transport improvements across the city.
So far, five schemes have been consulted on over the past year. Connecting Sheffield: Abbeydale Road and Ecclesall Road is the final set of proposals to be released through TCF, although further funding will be identified to help continue improvements to the networks for walking, cycling and public transport.
The proposals have been developed to help improve journey times from the city centre to Abbeydale Road and Ecclesall Road, where traffic delays can make it difficult for people to rely on bus services.
People are invited to comment on the plans, which give buses green light priority across every junction from the city centre to Ecclesall Road South junction with Abbey Lane, and to Abbeydale Road South junction with Sherwood Glen.
The council is also asking for initial feedback on proposals to introduce 12-hour bus lanes, and new ways to enforce illegal parking, such as the use of Red Routes. Improvements to bus stops are also included in the plans, including better seating and access to real-time bus updates.
Cllr Douglas Johnson, Executive Member for Climate Change, Environment and Transport, said:
“We know that it is currently difficult for people to use public transport because buses don’t get priority - they need faster routes to make sure they are consistently reliable. The aim of this scheme is to give buses green light priority, alongside other changes that will make public transport a more attractive option.
“Public transport is a critical part of our future; we will need people to catch the bus to take cars off the road. I know it’s been said, but it’s so important I will say it again; we need to make it easier to travel by public transport so people can choose to leave the car at home. This will help reduce traffic congestion, improve the air we breathe, and make us a healthier city.
“I would encourage you to have a look at what could change and let us know what you think. If you have any questions or concerns, we would be happy to answer them.”
Nigel Eggleton, Managing Director at First South Yorkshire said:
”We welcome the consultation and feedback that will be received on the proposals to introduce bus priority measures in the Abbeydale and Ecclesall Road areas.
Reliability is key in encouraging people to use bus services, as it can provide the confidence and reassurance knowing that buses will get people to their destinations on time.
Bus priority, red routes and parking restrictions for vehicles ‘excluding buses’ can make a significant improvement to reliability and make bus services an attractive proposition for people to use, at the same time help improve air quality and the local environment as less cars will be on the road. We are in full support of any measures that are being proposed to improve the journey experience for our customers who choose to use the bus as their preferred method of travel around the city and county."
John Young, Commercial Director at Stagecoach Yorkshire, said:
“We welcome the proposals. It's important that bus users' views are heard as part of these proposals. We’ve worked closely with our local authority partners to identify bus journey time improvements which will assist punctuality. These are amongst our customers’ top priorities and will help make using the bus more attractive.”
The consultation on Connecting Sheffield: Abbeydale Road and Ecclesall Road will run until Thursday 16th December. All comments and feedback will be used to shape the final proposals, which will be consulted on next year.

Make-up techniques and products have advanced through the years, yet noticeable similarities throughout the centuries can be noted. Like the definition of the eyes and the emphasis of the lips. Makeup is an expression and experimentation of yourself, although it can be seen as an advantageous method to enhance characteristics of attractiveness.
When looking at makeup in history, Cleopatra back in 50 BC used dark pigments from minerals and plants to apply heavy eye liner to reduce glare from the sun reflecting from the sand. Whilst becoming more vain with age adding rouge and lipstick, made from red clay and darkening her eyebrows and eyelashes with a combination of animal fat and powdered lead sulphide. Defining her facial features, similar to women of today’s society. So why throughout history are certain key characteristics emphasised?
Makeup can be seen to play a crucial role in attracting suitors. Attraction is examined in evolutionary psychology, which is based on Darwin’s theory of survival of the fittest. So prevalence of qualities which are attractive will increase your chances of finding an attractive partner, thus being the most genetically advantageous of the population. Ultimately, the aim in life in these primitive terms is to reproduce and pass your genes on.
The use of makeup can be seen to enhance features which male suitors in general find attractive due to their primitive hard-wiring. Research has shown that women look for financial stability and achievement where as men look for physical attractiveness; emphasising the theory that makeup is used to secure a relationship. It is thought in this field that men are hard-wired to prefer women with a ‘baby face’ in which she has large eyes, a small mouth, a small nose and a round head. As it suggests youth and fertility.
Eyeliner and mascara emphasise and when done correctly widen the eyes. If men prefer smaller baby like lips why are lipsticks and glosses such a big beauty product? Surely men do like coloured lips then..? It’s rather raunchy but psychologists have suggested wearing lipstick symbolises your *cough* *cough* lady area, similar to female baboons with their coloured behinds we’re signalling fertility. I don’t know about you, but that’s not what I think when I apply my lipstick everyday! Surely this is all nonsense. Actually it’s not, recent observational field studies showed that women wearing red lipstick were approached at a bar by men considerably sooner than those who wore lipsticks in other colours and those who wore nothing.
Research has shown that men in general prefer blondes as lighter hair highlights imperfections in the skin, enabling them to deter from females with hormonal imbalances and/or uncleanliness. It can be argued that foundation and concealer is used to hide these face demons from the world, giving the appearance of smooth flawless skin. Once we have a blank slate many of us apply blusher or bronzer to our cheeks, for a healthy glow; what does this glow mean in psychological terms? It is thought that blushing increases during our most fertile point of the month, signalling to the males we are in a sense good to go! Other research in this area suggests that blushing allows the male to know that you are aroused/interested in them, letting them know they aren’t wasting their time on a woman who is not interested.
Ultimately, everyone is different, we all have different preferences for attractiveness in possible partners so evolutionary explanations are becoming outdated and ungeneralisable. Perhaps due to our ever extending population, giving us more choice in mates we are deterring from generic makeup and trying to stand out with new outlandish methods and the newest products, when unsuccessful we head back to the big pond of Tinder and find a new catch. In western society, makeup is more of an expression of yourself rather than an primitive attraction method for a partner.
What do you think about psychology theories about makeup?- I’d love to hear from you.

For most drivers, staying safe while on the road is a top concern and something that they take very seriously. With all of the different features on a car that are designed to increase the safety of the driver, you may have a bit trouble keeping up with them all. The lights that are on a vehicle are among the most beneficial when it comes to overall safety. The turn signal lights that are on your car alert the other motorists when you are trying to change course. Having these bulbs fully functional is important and can help you to stay out of harm’s way during your time on the road.
Generally, the bulbs that are on a car will around 4,000 hours. The best way to avoid being without your turn signals is by taking the time to inspect them on a regular basis. Before going on long trips, you will need to create a checklist to make sure that all of the vital systems of a car are working as intended. The turn signal bulbs need to be one of the first things on this list due to the level of importance that they play in the overall safety that you experience on the road.
Most drivers never give the lights on their car a second thought until there is a problem. If you wait to replace the damaged turn signal bulbs on your car, then you may be at risk of getting a ticket. The parts that you need to fix this problem are very cost effective, which means that there is no reason to avoid getting these issues handled. If you are apprehensive about doing this work due to your lack of knowledge, then you will need to find a professional that is able to handle it for you.
When there are issues with the turn signal bulbs on your car, you will notice a few of these signs:
- The bulb will not light up
- The bulb will only work on occasion
- There is a black film on the bulb or water in the housing
Allowing a professional to fix your turn signal bulbs is a great way to ensure that the job is done the right way. Have a certified mechanic [replace the failing turn signal light bulb] to eliminate any further problems with your vehicle.

I am not sure how I ended up looking for a creamy Italian chicken recipe, but I found several sites about it. I went with this one from Life as a Loft House.
What I loved about this recipe is that everything cooks in the crock-pot.
What I did different was use Italian seasoning instead of a packet of Good Seasons Italian dressing mix.
I literally took out 6 frozen chicken breasts out of the freezer around 10 am and placed them in crockpot. I added about 4-6 table spoons of Italian seasoning. I then opened up two cheap cans of cream of chicken (Winco brand) and poured them in. I also opened up a block of Winco brand cream cheese, cut it up into pieces and placed all over the top and then covered the crock-pot. I let all this cook on high for 4 hours and reduced it to low for the last 2 hours.
I boiled about 4 cups of brown rice noodles the last half hour before the crockpot meal was ready. This delicious cooking chicken made my home smell so good. My toddler woke up from her nap saying, “Mmm, I smell something!”
We poured the chicken mixture over brown rice noodles and it was a hit. The toddler approved. The chicken was so juicy and tender I barely had to cut it apart and my daughter couldn’t tell what was a noodle from the chicken which was great because she ate the entire meal, normally she picks out the meat!
My husband said he’d give this 2 thumbs up, 5 starts, and an 11 out 10 to score how much he liked it. I thought this would be an easy crockpot freezer meal to make after the baby comes. I love quick and easy quick meals during the times we are sick and or I am pregnant in my third trimester!
*I am planning down the road to learn how to make my own better and healthier (a gluten, dairy, sugar free) version of cream of chicken. I found some recipes but haven’t had the time to experiment.
*I will add in chickpeas and mushrooms next time.
*I am not sure what I would add instead of cream cheese (for dairy free option) to this next time. Maybe a can of coconut milk?
If you know of healthy delicious substitutes don’t hesitate to comment.

I was lucky enough to have the chance to review the classic steampunk novel, The Warlord of Air, the first in the Nomad of Air series and originally published in 1971 . A short but rich account of the adventures of Captain Oswald Bastable, a British soldier in the colonies of India in the early 20th century that finds himself flung into the future of 1970’s where steampunk airships rule the skies above a world of a seemingly peaceful beauty.
We first meet Bastable through the character of the author’s fictitious grandfather in 1903 (a fun choice that serves to quickly emerse you into the fantastical universe), after his time traveling adventure, and he’s clearly worse for the wear. Strung out on opium and a stowaway on a merchant ship, Bastable earns the sympathy and intrigue of Morcock Sr. who agrees to transcribe the time-traveler’s tale in exchange for some vittles and a good hot shower (seems fair).
A great deal of praise is due to Morcock’s skill in allowing the reader to view this steampunk work through Bastable’s eyes. He is the perfect turn of the century up-right British captain yet not once is an “old chap” or dry narration out of place or forced. Instead of a future randomly sprinkled with airships we get a Edwardian atmosphere with steam you can almost taste. In fact, the future in which Bastable wakes is not entirely different from the one he left. Many of the political atmospheres from the empire building past remain relevant with some 1970’s updates as well as an appearance by Mick Jagger (that’s right). The future utopia in which Bastable establishes himself, while clean and beautiful, unravels before him as the undercurrent of peace is powered by the exploitation of the colonial territories just as it was in his own timeline. The staunt patriot and army man finds himself at a crossroad between joining a terrorist group bent on the liberation of oppressed colonies and his own loyalties to the tradition and past that had been his whole world.
A steampunk novel of the future with historical themes of the past could have easily been an awkward mess, but Morcock writes with a tight hold on his characters and universe to create a novel with a pleasing fantasy element and political subtly. I will say, however, that a great deal of the book is devoted to airships. Man, they are everywhere, even above every chapter header. The first half of Bastable’s tale is devoted to descriptions of the sky behemoths and a clearly loving portrayal of the feats of engineering that would have needed to go in to inventing these fantastic machines. However, I believe that the book would have been better suited in devoting more page-space to beefing up political elements of the universe, most of which is only allotted subtle whisperings until the last fifty pages or so of the novel. None of the descriptions were entirely dull, but anything less than a hardcore steampunk fan may find it to be a bit of a snooze fest. I found myself frustrated in having to look through the window into what seemed like a fascinating world with a view obstructed by thousands of fucking airships.
Still, if you like turn of the century steampunk, this novel earns the designation of a classic. I’ll definitely give the text two volumes in the trilogy a shot once they get the reprint treatment later this year. Warlord of Air is out now.

Designing your home should be exciting, and with the help of Plumbing Repair Dallas TX, it can be. This is a time to get creative and let your imagination shine. All of those things you have wanted in a home can be yours now. Here are some tips to keep in mind while planning out your house.
- Kitchen Happiness
If you are anything like the majority of the population in the US, you spend a lot of time in your kitchen. That might be where you enjoy meals and it is probably where you prepare food, not to mention being the location for midday snacks. So make it a place you like to be. Consider things like color and layout. Studies have found that certain colors invoke certain emotions and sensations in humans. For example, the colors red and yellow have been known to make people eat faster and sometimes even more than they normally would eat. Researchers are not sure about the reason for this phenomenon, but it has led to differences in the way restaurants color their facilities. Have you ever noticed how these colors are used in many fast food joints?
Paint the walls of your kitchen in muted shades that do not affect your eating habits for the worse. If you want an island counter, now is the time to install it. Think about custom backsplashes that match the countertops and cute things like mug hangers.
- Bathroom Help
Use Plumbing Repair Dallas TX to help with the installation and design of your bathroom appliances. This room is not the place to redo yourself, if that is what you are thinking of doing. Experts know where certain pipes and lines should go and they know how to attach them properly. You can do the calking, however, and possibly to a better job than would a rushing contractor. Figure out what you can work on before hiring help to cut down on expenses.
- Office Drama
The office is another place for which you should take time to consider the color scheme. Painting muted hues without an accent wall might be best to keep you from getting distracted. This is a place to keep organized and on task, so you should design a space for files and books to be intelligently placed so that you can find them easily. Make this a shrine to organization. Figure out your desk and computer needs to know where to put other things. Start with the most important items like these and go from there.
With Plumbing Repair Dallas TX this process can be a fun one. Let professionals come and help you design and carry out your great ideas for the optimal outcome when building your home.


New York City Commemorates Easter Rising Centenary
By R. Bryan Willits, Editorial Assistant
April 18, 2016
This week the Government of Ireland as well as NYU’s Glucksman Ireland House Center for Irish and Irish American Studies will be putting on a number of events in New York City to mark the centenary of the 1916 Easter Rising and to highlight the American dimensions of this historic event.
The events kicked off April 19 and 20 when Glucksman Ireland House NYU will host two separate screenings of the acclaimed docudrama A Terrible Beauty. The film uses firsthand accounts to tell the little-known stories of the “ordinary” people involved in the 1916 Easter Rising: Irish volunteers, British soldiers, and the innocent civilians who were caught in the middle. Both screenings will be followed by a Q&A with its filmmakers, Colin and Dave Farrell.
The film screening will also act as a prelude to Glucksman Ireland House NYU’s greatly anticipated major, international conference, “Independent Spirit: America and the 1916 Easter Rising,” which will shed new light on the transatlantic context of the Rising.
The full program interrogates renowned historian and Director of NYU’s Glucksman Ireland House NYU Joe Lee’s assertion that “No America” and “no New York” would have meant “no Easter Rising. Simple as that.” By placing the Rising in a transnational and transatlantic setting, twenty two scholars from a variety of disciplines will excavate the ways in which the United States was an equally critical theater of war in Ireland’s journey towards independence. The symposium will take place on Thursday, April 21st and Friday, April 22nd at Pier A Harbor House, 22 Battery Place, New York City.
The symposium will conclude with a special event in Washington Square Park, New York City, on Friday, April 22nd at 7pm. The Proclamation of the Irish Republic will be read in both English and Irish, followed by a short musical program by the Glee Club of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick. Irish actress Lisa Dwan, known for her performances of Samuel Beckett’s work, will read the Proclamation in English; she can currently be seen in Samuel Beckett Trilogy: Not I, Footfalls, Rockaby at NYU’s Skirball Center for the Performing Arts.
Then, on April 24, The Government of Ireland and Irish Community Official Commemorative Ceremony will take place at 11:00 as part of an inclusive day-long program of events which will take place from 11.00 a.m.– 5.30 p.m. in Wagner Park, Battery Park City – a location with deep historical resonance for the Irish American community. Until Ellis Island opened in 1892, it was this location that served as an entry point for many Irish American’s ancestors who first arrived in America following Ireland’s Great Hunger in the 19th century.
The Ceremony will involve the Reading of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic and the raising of the Irish tricolor and the American flag. New York and Irish political leaders will participate, as will the Irish Defence Forces and the 69th Infantry Regiment. A music and cultural program, entitled “Welcoming Ireland!” will follow immediately after the ceremony at Wagner Park and the nearby Pier A. ♦
