GReddy Turbo Timer
If you have a turbocharger-whether it's factory, added or upgradedthe Turbo Timer should be included in your budget under the category: "peace of mind." The Turbo Timer allows you to leave your vehicle while the timer leaves your engine running anywhere from 10 seconds to 9.99 minutes. The gradual cool-down prevents bearing damage that can occur when a turbocharged engine is shutdown abruptly after normal driving. "Spirited" driving and its more extreme temperatures would be even worse.
The turbo's bearings rely on a generous supply of clean engine oil. All oil pressure is lost when the engine isn't running. With temperatures of about 250F/106C-and at the turbine shaft, 300-350C (540-630F)a hard, destructive varnish or "coke" can orm on the bearings or seals. With the one-quarter DIN-sized GReddy Turbo Timer tucked in an unobtrusive location, you can leave and lock your car with confidence. No "baby-sitting" your prized machine or being late to work or a movie.
HKS Turbo Timer&Rebic III
WWhen a turbocharger and intercooler deliver more air to the engine, more fuel is needed to extract the potentialpower-especially in street/strip/race applications. The Rebic III is an auxiliary fuel-injector controller that works independent of the factory electronic control unit. GReddy's "black box" can be used in any forced-induction setup to supply more fuel under high boost. The Rebic III maintains safe air/fuel ratios, while supplying up to eight additional injectors. Its modular designs lets you use the Rebic III with other GReddy control devices. We've found, to our delight, that enthusiasts rave about the Rebic III's graphical, dynamic user-interface and how it adds a "cool" factor to even the best interiors. Who says engineering has to be boring?

Yesterday I shared my speech from a fantastic night at the UN Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women 20th Anniversary Gala in New York. Today I wanted to share some more information about our Orange Label Project ‘Fashion Says No to Violence Against Women’ using these films we have created.
In this first film, I introduce the project, while experts Caryn Franklin and Carolyn Mair talk about the cause.
The second film features some of the inspiring work that our students here at LCF created in response to a global competition. Entrants were asked to make a work using the colour orange, to raise awareness and speak out about violence against women.
The student competition isn’t the end of our activism. I encourage you to join us and show your support for the cause on the 25th November by uploading an image in Orange with the hashtag #OrangeLabelProject

Cut 2 pounds sharp Cheddar cheese into small pieces or use a coarse grater to break it up. Break 2 eggs into a bowl, add � teaspoon dry mustard, one teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, � teaspoon black pepper, and beat lightly. Pour beer into a large frying pan to a depth of a quarter of an inch. When the beer begins to boil, add the cheese, lower flame, and stir the melting cheese vigorously. As soon as the mixture is smooth, add pat of butter, then the eggs. Cook only long enough so that the eggs are blended into rabbit and serve immediately on toast. Overcooking makes a tough and stringy rabbit. The recipe's an old standby, but good.
Measure 2 tablespoons olive oil and one tablespoon butter into stew pot. When hot, slip in � cup chopped onions, � cup chopped celery, one minced garlic clove, and brown. Coat 2 pounds cubed stew meat with flour. Push vegetables to one side of pot and sear the meat in hot fat. Don't overcrowd the pot; each cube must come into contact with the bottom of the pot so that it will brown nicely. Mix in onions, celery, garlic and seasoning (� teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, � teaspoon pepper, one teaspoon salt), and pour in dry red wine. There should be about a half inch of wine in the bottom of the pot. Cover and simmer until meat is tender, approximately two hours. Inspect periodically to determine if more wine is needed; the gravy should be thick. Serve the ragout with boiled wide noodles, saut�ed in butter. The proper drinking companion for the ragout is a full-bodied Burgundy.
This is recommended when fresh provisions have been exhausted or when the cook wants to take life easy. Heat 2 cans condensed mushroom soup (do not dilute) with 2 tablespoons butter, � teaspoon curry powder, and add one pound canned fish (tuna, salmon, lobster, etc.) which has been drained and flaked. Stir gently, and when mixture reaches full boil remove the pot from the flame and pour in one jigger of sherry. Sliced, hard-cooked eggs make a nutritious garnish.
This is as good a way of treating fish as any yet devised and is practically foolproof. Dredge the fish—2 pounds fillets or steaks—in seasoned flour and melt 3 tablespoons butter in large frying pan. When fat begins to bubble, lay in fish and lower flame under pan. Just before fish is finished pour in 2 jiggers dry sherry and cover pan for about a minute so that the sherry's good aroma flavors the fish instead of scenting the galley.
The awful sin of overcooking fish can be easily avoided by pricking fish with a fork; it is ready when it feels soft.
Lightly brown 2 pounds stewing veal (cut in 2-inch cubes) and � cup sliced onions in butter, add one cup white wine, stir, cover pot and simmer meat until tender, approximately � hour. If it suits the cook, the meat can be stewed some hours before it is to be eaten; its flavor is improved by aging. Before serving, add � cup canned mushrooms and � cup sour cream (heat first but don't boil).
EGGS PYRENEES—Spanish Omelet Inside Out. Saut� 4 large sliced onions and 2 sliced green peppers in butter to a golden brown. Meanwhile, season 2 cups canned tomatoes with salt, pepper and � teaspoon or�gano. Pour tomatoes and juice into frying pan. When mixture boils, stir in 6 lightly beaten eggs. Over high flame, scramble eggs in tomato mixture. Serve on toast.

Voltage monitoring relays RMV-112D, RMV-122D and RMV-132D
are designed to protect generators, electric motors and transformers from unacceptable voltage changes in the network in all three phases. They can be used both on ships and onshore installations. In this line, there is a separate modification of the RMV-142D
voltage relay for operation in single-phase networks.
Current monitoring relays RMC-111D, RMC-121D, RMC-122D, RMC-131D, RMC-132D, RMC-142D
are designed to protect generators from overload and short circuit currents. The relay measures the current in three phases and trips to the maximum of them. High measurement accuracy is ensured with sinusoidal currents.
Active power relays RMP-111D, RMP-112D, RMP-121D
manufactured by DEIF provide protection and control of generating sets.
relay serves for overload protection. This protection is especially important if the prime mover of the generator has a small overload capacity.
- for protection against reverse power when the frequency of other generators connected to the bus is exceeded.
- for overload and reverse power protection.
Reactive power relays RMQ-111D, RMQ-121D
protect against loss of excitation (RMQ-111D) or overexcitation (RMQ-121D). The RMQ-111D
prevents overheating and damage to the generator while preventing the faulty generator from generating reactive power. The RMQ-121D
prevents overheating of the generator windings while maintaining reactive power transfer to the emergency generator.
The frequency control relay RMF-112D
is used for protection against low / high frequency in single-phase or three-phase networks. The relay has a timer that is activated when the setpoint value is exceeded. When the timer expires, a fault signal appears. If the measured value returns to normal limits before the time delay has expired, the timer is reset.
Mains voltage failure relay LMR-111D, LMR-122D
is used in protection systems for generators operating in parallel to the power supply network. Detection of the disappearance of the mains voltage is possible under the condition of a sharp change in the frequency of the generator due to an open circuit at an arbitrary point in the network. In this case, a signal is sent to the mains switch, which opens it and thus protects the generator from possible damage as a result of automatic reconnection to the high-voltage network.
The relay for turning on generators for parallel operation HAS-111DG
is used to check the conditions of synchronization and synchronization of the generator with the mains. The relay measures the values of the generator and busbars in order to obtain data on frequency deviation, voltage and phase difference. The HAS-111DG has a built-in self-test function. The function monitors the microprocessor, which ensures the correct operation of the program.
Synchronization relays FAS-113DG, FAS-115DG
are designed for protection and control of generating sets. Synchronizers can be used to control various types of drive motors, from slow-reacting diesel engines to fast-reacting gas turbines. Installation of these relays is possible on a mounting panel or on a standard DIN-35 mm rail.
Load sharing relays LSU-112DG, LSU-113DG, LSU-114DG, LSU-122DG
are designed to control drive motors of generating sets. They have several modes of operation:
- single work with frequency maintenance;
parallel operation with the network while maintaining the specified power;
parallel operation with other generators with frequency control and power distribution.
- Measuring voltage range: 57.7 - 690 VAC current
Measured current range: 0.4 - 5 A
Frequency response: 45 - 65 Hz
Working temperature range: -25 ° C - + 70 ° C
Protective performance: IP40 (case); IP20 (terminals)

In the wake of the Fourth of July mass shooting in Highland Park, Naperville officials are looking to ban the sale of assault weapons in the city.
The Naperville City Council on Tuesday night will begin discussions on a proposed ordinance that would prohibit the sale of assault weapons and large-capacity magazines.
“Every few weeks or so when we see these mass shootings with military-style weapons, it just continues to build and build, and at some point, even on a local level, we have to be able to do something,” Naperville Mayor Steve Chirico said.
A rooftop sniper opened fire on the crowd gathered at the Highland Park Independence Day parade, killing seven people and wounding dozens. Authorities said the gunman used a Smith and Wesson M&P 15, a semi-automatic rifle. Police recovered more than 80 spent casings from the scene.
Less than two weeks later, Naperville’s draft ordinance was placed on the agenda at the request of three city council members, Chirico said.
“While the particular ordinance, as I review it, may just be window dressing because it’s a local ordinance and doesn’t do anything about surrounding cities and states, it still may be enough just to show political courage to do the right thing for our community,” Chirico said.
Naperville may not be the only home-rule community considering restrictions on gun sales at a local level. Officials from several towns — Chirico declined to say which — have asked for a copy of Naperville’s proposed ordinance.
“We’ll provide that, but I think it’s on everyone’s mind,” Chirico said.
In Elmhurst, Mayor Scott Levin said he’s speaking with other mayors in DuPage about working together to urge state and federal lawmakers to “take more meaningful action in terms of legislation dealing with assault-type weapons.”
Levin co-chairs the legislative committee of the DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference.
“I know that we all look at the video from the Highland Park incident and could all see that town as being very similar to ours,” Levin said.
He’s also been speaking with aldermen in Elmhurst about where they stand on the issue. But Levin expressed concerns, saying a local ban on assault weapons “makes a statement, but it doesn’t produce anything meaningful.” He also said such a proposal may create local controversy and divert debate to a local level.
As written, the Naperville ordinance defines an “assault weapon” as a semi-automatic rifle with a magazine that is not fixed and has any of the following features: a pistol grip, a forward grip, a folding telescopic or detachable stock, a grenade launcher, a barrel shroud or a threaded barrel; and a semi-automatic pistol with any of the following features: a threaded barrel, second pistol grip a barrel shroud, capacity to accept a detachable magazine outside of the pistol grip, a semi-automatic version of an automatic firearm, a weight of 50 ounces or more when unloaded or a stabilizing brace.
The proposed ordinance also defines a large-capacity magazine as a device accepting “more than 10 rounds of ammunition; and does not include an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition.”
The ordinance lists a dozen mass shootings over the last decade, going back to the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in 2012.
“There have been many other mass shootings during the last decade, and it has become an unacceptable fact of life that no municipality is exempt from the reality that its citizens are at risk,” the measure states.

Woolly Mammoths in Mahaska County!
Contributed by Laura DeCook, Naturalist, Mahaska County Conservation Board
Rural Mahaska County, Iowa is the location of an ice age-old story that is beginning to unfold. The story began in 2010 on the day a landowner discovered of a very large femur (upper leg bone) in the bank of a stream. With confirmation of the bone belonging to a large animal that lived during the last ice age, the story has drawn interest from a wide variety of people across the United States. Some of these people have backgrounds in geology, archeology, and biology and others are simply local residents eager to learn more about this unique animal. Local and national media have also shared this story. The animal that has created the buzz and that is teaching us about this history of our earth is the woolly mammoth. The scientific name for the woolly mammoth is Mammuthus primigenius (the genus is always capitalized and the species is not). Woolly mammoth has been dated to the Late Pleistocene time period!
What is a Woolly Mammoth?
The Late Pleistocene Epoch (2.6 million to 10,000 years ago) was a time period of enormous animals like woolly mammoths, giant sloths and saber-toothed tigers. Where Mahaska County is located today, the landscape would have been a patchwork of Boreal forest (fir, spruce and larch trees), grassland, streams, and rivers. Seasonal temperatures were colder than they are now, with winters lasting longer.
Woolly mammoths were large, hairy, elephant-looking animals weighing 6-8 tons and standing 10-12 feet at the shoulder. They must have been an impressive sight as they lumbered along searching for food in the snow. Most likely their tusks that grew up to 15-feet long were used as giant shovels to clear the snow from the ground to expose vegetation. They ate grasses that they pulled out of the ground, leaves pulled off trees, and bushes with their elephant-like trunks. They chewed their food with four giant molars in their mouths. These mammoths were covered with four inches of fat, as well as two layers of fur to keep them insulated and warm. The outer layer of fur grew to be nearly three feet long and ranged in color from blonde to dark brown. The undercoat was a soft “wool” texture.
So far, three woolly mammoths have been found at the Mahaska County site. This has been confirmed by Chris Widga, Assistant Curator of Geology and mammoth expert at the Illinois State Museum in Springfield, Illinois. Mr. Widga was able to distinguish the species of mammoth by looking at the teeth found at the dig site.
What are we learning from digging up mammoth bones?
Finding woolly mammoth bones are the icing on the cake for the people involved at the dig site. The “cake” is learning what Mahaska County would have looked like over 10,000 years ago. Looking at the layers of clay, sand, silt, large rocks, and water seeping from the ground, geologists can see where a glacial spring had likely erupted from the ground. The spring would have drawn mammoths and other animals to the area to drink water. Soil tests from these layers show evidence of fir, spruce, and larch trees. These trees are found in a boreal forest -- a boreal forest in Iowa? All of this information has fascinated diggers at the site.
There are many questions still unanswered. How did the mammoths die? Is there evidence of more plants and animals yet to be discovered? Did humans live in this area?
In order to find answers, volunteers and scientists will continue digging.

Skincare routines are for everyone, regardless of identity or age. Everyone can benefit from taking care of their body, but you might find that your routine is a little different from someone with a different type of skin. Whereas dry skin needs moisture most of all, a skincare routine for oily skin might prioritize lightweight products. Your routine might vary from the standard, but that’s okay — the important thing is finding something actionable that works for you.
Why Should You Have a Skincare Routine?
Everyone should have a skincare routine, regardless of their skin type. Whether a person has dry skin, oily skin, normal skin or a combination, there’s a skincare routine that could benefit them. If you have oily skin, it’s even more important to take care of your skin both morning and night to keep a clear complexion. Oily skin is often more prone to acne, so it’s essential to use products that can help you break out less.
By sticking to a skincare routine for oily skin, you can reduce signs of aging and wear and tear on your face. Oily skin might technically be more hydrated than other types of skin, but you want to ensure that you control the oil enough to regularly remove the dirt, skin cells and other detrimental debris from your face. Building your personal skin routine is as simple as going through each step to see what fits best for you.
Step By Step Skincare Routine for Oily Skin
A skincare routine for oily skin doesn’t need to be complex. All you need to do is follow a few steps that work best with your skin type. Whether your face produces a lot of oil or just a little, these essential skincare routine steps can help you prioritize how to best care for your skin.
1. Facial Cleanser
One thing you likely know about oily skin is that it needs to be cleansed often. If you don’t wash your face, you’ll likely end up with acne, dirt, skin cells and so much more sitting on your face. Cleansing at night is essential, but you should also cleanse your face in the morning. You must eliminate anything built up while sleeping, such as oils or sweat. Plus, you want to have a fresh face to greet the fresh day.
Not every skincare routine includes toner, but you should consider it an essential step in yours, especially if you want to make sure your face is clear of any product. Toner is an important step in your skincare routine, as it can remove remnants of facial cleanser and help your next products absorb better into your skin, not to mention it helps balance your skin’s pH levels.
Using a toner can also help you reduce the appearance of any pores that oil has enlarged. Toner can get rid of any residue from other products you’ve used throughout the day, like cleanser or makeup. An exfoliating toner can help you remove dead skin cells on your face.
3. Spot Treatments
Your spot treatments, such as serums and other topicals, need to be ahead of moisturizer in your routine, as it gives them the chance to penetrate your skin and be more effective than they would be if they were applied over the moisturizer. Choose your spot treatments according to what you want to improve on your face.
Retinol is an anti-aging product that can keep your skin glowing and pores clear. You can often find it in an eye cream, which fights against wrinkles on your face’s most sensitive skin. These eye creams usually have a lower concentration of retinol so that they won’t be as harsh on your eyes. You can also use benzoyl peroxide products for acne-prone skin to slow oil production for future breakouts.
Moisturizer is the one step everyone knows they need. You should use a moisturizer both in the morning and at night. It locks proper hydration into your skin, which can help it withstand cuts and tears, as well as time and aging symptoms. People with oily skin should look for a lightweight and water-based moisturizer as their go-to. If you’re prone to acne, look for special moisturizers that also help with acne control.
Sunscreen is the most important product you can put on your face in the morning. It helps for several reasons, from cosmetic to genetic. You need sunscreen with a proper SPF to take care of your skin, which can help reduce your exposure to UV rays and lower skin cancer risks, as well as prevent early aging caused by the sun. Look for a mineral sunscreen, which sits on top of the skin to block the sun’s rays. You’ll apply it after all your other products but before any makeup steps.
Build a Routine That Works for You
A detailed routine won’t matter unless you can actually stick to it. In that case, your skincare routine for oily skin should be realistic, according to how much time you have and how you’ll hold yourself accountable to stick to it. Your skincare routine should be actionable for you, and you’ll reap the benefits of taking care of your skin. Sometimes, it’s best to start with a basic plan, then add steps in time as you know you can handle them. Taking care of your skin can only benefit you, so don’t be afraid to build your routine slowly!

Fighting the fire service cuts
FIREFIGHTERS IN Coventry have started to fight back against plans to reduce night time fire cover in the city.
Rob Windsor, Coventry Socialist Party
The plans are part of a move across the West Midlands to reduce fire cover at night. In Coventry, this means seven available fire engines being cut to five.
"They tell us that we are at risk of a chemical or biological attack. It's not inconceivable that this could happen at night, yet they want to cut our cover," said one firefighter petitioning in the city centre at the week-end. "Coventry has some of the highest fire deaths at night," said another.
"All over it's cuts. They are talking about giving street wardens handcuffs and making them act like police! What will happen to the public if this service is cut? I'm out here to sign people up for their best insurance against fire."
The proposed cuts bear out what Socialist Party members in the unions and councillors in the city warned about in the 2002 strike. That unless there was a decisive victory, the fire bosses - more concerned with implementing Blair and Prescott's public service cuts than protecting the public - would come in stages to slash fire cover and jobs.
The fire authority say that these cuts will not seriously impact on the service. But that is like a doctor telling a patient that they can live a full life with half their organs missing. The fire service still guarantees a rapid response to any call for help. Would the ministers and councillors proposing these cuts really like to take a chance with their families in this way?
The cuts are being proposed at a time when Coventry's airport has grown from a freight to a passenger terminal and when houses converted to multiply occupied bedsits have grown. Both carry a greater risk of serious and life-threatening fires at any time.
The Socialist group on the council was the only group to give wholehearted support to the firefighters in the 2002 strike. This was not just about a decent wage for firefighters but the very cuts being proposed now.
Socialist councillors have joined forces on this issue with two independent councillors who left the Labour Party recently. One, Councillor Val Stone, has the respect of firefighters in the city and served on the West Midlands Fire Authority. They are putting a motion to the 14 December council meeting oppose the cuts in fire cover.

The New York Arab Comedy Festival Presents: Arab Comedy Buffet
Thu · November 2, 2017
Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 7:30 pmThe Stand
$5.00 - $25.00
This event is 16 and over
The New York Arab American Comedy Festival’s opening show at The Stand will feature all of the comedians from this year’s fest in one giant show where you can laugh at a little of everything. This amazing lineup of comedians has been seen on The View, Late Show with Stephen Colbert, HBO, SiriusXM, TED Talks, and more.https://thestandnyc.ticketfly.com/event/1574572/
The 2004-2011 festivals were an overwhelming success, with many nights playing to standing room only crowds, showcasing a diverse group of Arab-American comedic plays, stand up comics and short comedic films, with the participation of close to 50 Arab-American artists.
Each year, we have been able to successfully achieve our main goal of increasing the visibility of talented Arab-American artists as well as attracting positive attention for the Arab-American community. A first ever Industry Showcase of the New York Arab-American Comedy Festival took place in Hollywood, CA, in January 2006, and was extremely successful in introducing writers, directors and actors to casting directors and agents in the heart of the US television and film industry.
The festival has progressively received positive media coverage with each year in numerous national and local media outlets including: ABC News, WBAI radio, The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, The Village Voice, The NY Daily News, The Guardian, The Herald News, Time Out New York, the nationally syndicated radio program Democracy Now, and in various international, national and local Arab-American publications. Browse Press Clips.
unnamed-2In addition, representatives from various casting and talent agencies and television networks continue to attend the festival in search of fresh and new talent, including NBC, CBS, and Comedy Central. Our performers have been seen on CNN, MSNBC, PBS, in major motion pictures, as well as television and on Broadway.
The success of the past eight festivals have visibly benefited both the artists' careers, as well as had an influence on the positive image of Arab-Americans through the media coverage we received. These accomplishments have shown that our Arab-American artists are crossing over into more mainstream entertainment venues.
The New York Arab-American Comedy Festival is a registered US non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. If you would like to support our not-for-profit festival with a donation, please contact Dean Obeidallah at Dean@arabcomedy.org

Chelsea appear to have won the race to sign to sign FC Porto's highly-rated full-back Jose Bosingwa.
Manchester United, Liverpool and Aston Villa had all been linked with the 25-year-old former Boavista player but the Blues are understood to have had a £16.2million bid for the player accepted.
Porto announced in a statement to the Portuguese Stock Exchange that a deal had been agreed.
It read: "We inform the market that we have an understanding with Chelsea for the rights to our player Jose Bosingwa for the price of 20.5million euros.
"More information on the relative agreement of the transfer will be legalised once the player concludes the medical examinations that he is now having with the permission of Porto football club."
Bosingwa has made more than 100 appearances for Porto, helping the team win the 2007-08 title.
He has also broken into the Portugal side in the last 12 months, replacing Miguel as his country's first-choice right-back.

The ice at Mendenhall Lake is not safe.
As a rule, ice is never safe. But even after the latest cold snap, the ice at Mendenhall Lake is dangerously thin in places.
Members of a community group went out Thursday to check the lake. They’re expecting residents over the weekend to cross the ice in search of the Mendenhall Glacier ice caves. So far, there are no confirmed reports of any ice caves.
The group traced the usual path across the lake using ice screws and ice axes to determine the thickness every hundred feet.
“It shows you that close to shore, it can be thick or thin,” said Brian Weed of Juneau’s Hidden History. His group put out a call for members to come out and check the ice thickness.
“And then as we get further out, so far, it’s kind of a mix,” said Weed.
The group only got 500 feet from the shoreline near the visitor center when the ice thinned to just an inch and a half. Anything less than 4 inches is considered dangerous.
Capital City Fire/Rescue Chief Rich Etheridge said the city doesn’t measure the ice and would never say the lake is safe.
“Our advice is stay off the ice, but we know people are going to go out there anyway,” Etheridge said. “They’re taking a calculated risk and rolling the dice being on the lake.”
Etheridge said all it takes is for the glacier to calve. That could fracture the ice and put a lot of people in the water.

Typefaces have been an integral part of the ‘reading-writing’ society for centuries and now they have evolved into the digital era of typography and design where fonts matter a lot more than they have any time before. The tone and intent of our words can be more effectively represented with less worry over the impacts of loading in too many font weights” (or other styles). We’re using the Export for Screens” function on Illustrator in this example as it lets us curate the list and set a prefix for the final files. Much like All Susan KareвЂs fonts such as San Francisco, Chicago which was the official apple typeface up until the early days of the iPod, this new typeface is also named After A city: New York. As an essential element of design, typography and font choice is extremely important when trying to communicate ideas or emotions.
With that said, type designers and programmers continuously try to find ways to make fonts more legible and beautiful So, take what I say with a grain of salt and try something new if you think it will work. Watercolour paintings are a hugely popular art style that can be incorporated into your design projects, but you don’t need to be a master artist to create such imagery when Adobe Photoshop can produce realistic watercolour effects with a cocktail godzilla font of built-in filters. For iOS and Android, it’s San Francisco and Roboto respectively (again, both system fonts, for readability and familiarity. You don’t need to do any programming; all you have to do is add a special stylesheet link to your HTML document, then refer to the font in a CSS style.
In fact, putting certain type in gray can work even if your design is more colorful (to really unify things, make sure the gray has just a hint of one of the main colors in your other typography). Don’t embed multimedia such as YouTube videos into your blog post. Fonts installed in the OS X native environment can be accessed by (a) any user or (b) just by an individual user. Simply right-click on them and select Install from the context menu. Open Sans has excellent legibility and its letterforms are incredibly strong with the very extensive font library, this font is a very strong substitute for default sans serif fonts.
Serif and sans-serif will work in numerous applications. Wait a moment or two while Font Squirrel prepares your download, & then a file will download onto your computer. Shopify experts have experience modifying themes and can add any Google font you’d like to your website for a one-time fee. Don’t make the mistake of pairing fonts that simply aren’t meant to go together. Font pairing is by no means a perfect science, and when you think about how a font feels to look at, then you can begin to delve into the realm of the unsaid. That’s why UX designers get such a huge reward for their work at the top tech startups, it’s because these guys dedicate their life to create something so unique that no other designer will be able to match it without his very own team, and needless to say — who wants to copy other people’s work anyway, when you’re working in the most rapidly evolving industry.
Streamlined, simple fonts are always top of the list, because they work well in just about any design style. If you have a fabulous, colorful striped shirt (like a showy script font), you’ll want to pair it with a pair of black trousers (a clean, simple sans-serif) so that the two aren’t clashing. It was adopted by many universities as their main sans serif font in branding guidelines or text captions. Whether you need a logo for your business or personal brand, our free logo maker has got you covered. What sets this typeface apart is the uppercase A has a serif at the apex, and the lowercase a has two storeys.

We analyzed the immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chain gene rearrangement in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of a patient with multiple myeloma (MM). Although the morphological and immunological examination did not reveal the presence of circulating plasma cells, a monoclonal Ig gene rearrangement was detected. This observation indicates that a monoclonal expansion of circulating B cells was present in the peripheral lymphocytes of this patient.

Food as medicine
Shopping at a local farmers market can be a great way to add high-quality produce to your meals. But it’s easy to overspend at a farmers market, and some people don’t know what they should buy; following these tips will help you plan your visit.
Twenty years of medical research confirms that it is possible to prevent diabetes through lifestyle changes such as eating a healthy diet and getting regular physical activity. For some people diabetes medications can also help, and in fact medication and lifestyle changes work especially well together.
When families eat dinner together, the benefits to children go beyond nutrition. Family meals can lead to improved academic performance and self-esteem. Involving the kids in preparing dinner also enriches the experience.
Cooking at home is a great way to support healthier dietary choices; the next step, programs that provide instruction in cooking techniques, can help people understand what foods to choose at the store and how to prepare them, which can result in lower blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes.

Work Beings On Thorpe Park Graffiti Mural
Sunday 4th July 2021
Work has begun on the graffiti memorial located outside Derren Browns Ghost train. As part of ParkVibes, a local graffiti artist Sophy Robson is spraypainting a huge piece on the side of the arcade building.
Since our last visit to the park, we can already see a glimpse into the final design. The main part centrepiece appears to be the Thorpe Park logo with 4 of the parks rides in each corner. So far we can already see Stealth, Colossus and Nemesis Inferno spray painted into the corners. With a plane and some other small designs around it, we cant wait to see the final piece when it's done.
With the wall still left blank to the right of this memorial, we wonder if this piece will be expanded when it's done.

Ok I am having a very hard time figuring out this module. The documentation is pretty sparce and some of the examples dont work completely.
Here is what I am trying to achieve:
We have employees in the architecture firm setup as a group and then we have a “client” group.
Our goal is to allow our employees to setup a client, and then create a group or directory in which to upload files that can then be accessed by a specific client. Basically we want to be able to upload large files to the site and then let the client have access to that file (password) so that the cleint can get the file and yet it is safe from other prying eyes.
How do i do this? T just cant seem to figure out what everything does from the documentation that is provided. I have read it multiple times and have been testing for months now to no avail. Im about to just setup an ftp site instead.
Please help. give me some examples, directions, tutorials, something… Just an outline would be a major help.

Weighing the Fairbanks Legacy
Dan Swainbank, Author
In his talk, Dan will describe and measure the Fairbanks family’s contributions to the town of St. Johnsbury, to the region, and to the state. Topics will include: the invention of the platform scale and the growth of the family business to become a world-wide enterprise; the contributions of the three generations of men and women to the growth and governance of the town; the creation and sustaining of the Fairbanks institutional endowments; and the political and social issues that they confronted. He will also discuss the delicate process of separating fact from legend, 21st Century values as applied to 19th Century events, and objective sources versus family sources. The Fairbanks legacy is a family story – with triumphs and losses – as well as an historical record.

Log Drives in the Connecticut River Valley
Helen Pike, Author

Robert was born in Hamden, CT but was raised by an uncle in Waterford, VT and was enchanted by the tales of the imposing, spike-booted loggers who swaggered down the Connecticut River and camped on his uncle’s farm. He is the author of the 1967 Tall Trees, Tough Men (widely regarded as the definitive history of the New England logging industry), and Spiked Boots, a self-published 1956 compilation of the legends and lore handed down for generations by those who lived and worked in the woods and along the rivers of New England.

The Empire Has No Clothes!By Harley Schlanger
From the beginning, the 1992 "Wolfowitz Doctrine" was an open assertion of the right of Anglo-American corporate cartels to plunder the earth, deploying its military might to defeat any opposition and prevent any rivals from emerging. Ukraine and Gaza show that military "might" has its limitations. The LaRouche Organization has a long record of exposing the corruption of the financial oligarchy, and providing a viable alternative, based on Lyndon LaRouche's scientific approach to physical economy.

Movies are better than ever. Just ask Paramount.
The Paramount-distributed Jackass 3D, which cost a reported $20m to make, pulled in an astounding $50m at the North American box office on its first three days out according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. Jackass 3D's take far surpassed expectations, which hovered around $25-30m, and even adjusted Saturday estimates, which had the film grossing $40m after scoring nearly $22m on Friday.
Once again starring Johnny Knoxville, and featuring an array of idiotic stunts, crass jokes, and 3D technology, Jackass 3D, much more than David Fincher's The Social Network or Clint Eastwood's Hereafter, fully reflects the current idioticized zeitgeist — at least in the United States.
At 3,081 theaters, Jackass 3D averaged $16,228 per site. Back in 2006, Jackass Number Two grossed $29m (in 2D, lower prices) averaging $9,480, while in 2002 Jackass: The Movie pulled in $22.76m, averaging $9,072 per venue.
Jackass Number Two went on to gross $72m in North America; Jackass: The Movie reached $64m. Neither film did well at all outside the US — $11.8m for the second installment; $15.2m for the first — where people apparently prefer their idiocy wrapped in a different package. To date, Jackass has remained a strictly all-American imbecility phenomenon.
Now, if they can only add odorama — so Jackass' American fans can actually smell the shit and the farts — the inevitable Jackass Four (Take It Up Yours?) will open to the tune of $100m.

BACKGROUND: Multiple sclerosis is the most common demyelinating disorder among young adults. The disease is frequently accompanied by psychiatric disturbances, of which depression is the main cause of impaired quality of life. The lifetime risk of depression among patients with multiple sclerosis is as high as 50%, and the risk of suicide is greatly increased in this subgroup. Surprisingly, despite advances in the treatment of depression, little research focusing on depressed patients with multiple sclerosis has been published. It is important that neurologists know how to approach the depressive co-morbidity. REVIEW SUMMARY: Psychotherapy, electroconvulsive treatment, pharmacotherapy, and light therapy are, alone or in combination, the treatments for depression. The emerging trend in neurological patients and patients with multiple sclerosis is to combine support group therapy and pharmacological interventions as the first-line treatment for depression. Based on tolerability and pharmacokinetic studies, the use of serotonin-specific reuptake inhibitors is recommended for patients with multiple sclerosis. Electroconvulsive therapy is efficient, but more research is needed to explore possible contraindications for this procedure, such as active lesions. CONCLUSIONS: This review allows the neurologist to better understand the approach to treatment of patients with multiple sclerosis suffering from co-morbid depression. The use of pharmacotherapy is encouraged so that quality of life, rehabilitation efforts, and risk of suicide are improved. There is urgent need for large-scale studies using the newer antidepressants now available in the United States and Europe.

Heb10v19to25 A FOURFOLD CALL
Yet once more the writer to the Hebrews reiterates the points that he has made. It is almost as if he cannot let them go. Verses19 to 21 reaffirm that the Christian can enter God's presence by the blood of Christ. There is a new and living way by Christ's sacrifice into God's presence. We possess as God's people a great high priest and need no other! These are the imperishable assets of the follower of Jesus. They are assets that believing Jews possessed. So the writer now calls for a response. He has been driving home his points for this very purpose. Therefore .......let us.... he urges, and it is an urgent call, because many Jewish Christians are in real danger of repudiating their faith. I can remember playing cricket years ago with my dear old friend, the village blacksmith, Len Pawsey. When we were playing poorly and in danger of losing he would clap his hands and cry out in his broad Suffolk accent, "Come on altogether!" It was an urgent cry! The Jewish Christians were sailing perilously close to the rocks as will be seen when we study the succeeding verses. Here we have a passionate fourfold call for a wholehearted response to the riches they possess in Christ.
(B) The call to intimacy: no reservations. v22Let us draw near to God
We are told how we should draw near:
Sometimes people draw near because they want something from us. I was always suspicious of pretty girls when they sidled up to me, smiled and said something flattering like, "Mr Reed you are my favourite teacher." They invariably wanted to borrow a pound, to be excused from attending my lesson or to avoid a ticking off for forgetting to do their homework. There are those who draw near to God because they want something from him - that Christian girl as a wife, acceptance and success in a community, respectability, a reputation for propriety, an insurance policy against present and future ills. The list is endless. The best reason to draw along side God is: that is the place you really want to be. Occasionally a girl would come into my room during the lunch hour while I was marking a pile of books. I would look up and and say, "Well and what do you want, Gemma?" Gemma would reply, "I've just come to see you, Mr Reed." I would stop work and give her my full attention. The best was to get God's full attention is to approach him for his own sake.
(b) Without reservations v22 in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
The writer tells us that Christians can come into God's presence with confidence. We have been cleansed, our hearts sprinkled and our bodies washed in pure water. There is no reason why we cannot be intimates of God because Christ's blood cleanses us from all sin. We should not underestimate the pleasure we can give to God by drawing close to him. Wasn't that elderly farmer Boaz glad that the sweet Moabite girl had put her trust in him. I can understand why he asked her to lay by his side until morning!
I had been going through a bleak period at school. The grey winter months of January and February are particularly tiresome for a teacher. One dinner hour I was sitting in my form room at my desk when Megan walked in. She came and sat on the edge of my desk and smiled! I looked up at her and said, "Well want do you want, Megan". "Just to talk to you, Mr Reed", she replied. And that was all she did want. It was the happiest few minutes of the week! God doesn't get down like we do but I think he likes it when we draw near just for the pleasure of his company.
(C) The call to fidelity: no deviation. v23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess for he who promised is faithful.
The Greek word translated 'unswervingly' means not to be out of true, not to deviate from the perpendicular. The cardinal sin for a builder is to deviate from the perpendicular. It would put everything else wrong. So it is a top priority - to remain true to the perpendicular.
(b) We are helped to hold onto our hope by:
Polly(his wife) and I confirm our feelings towards each other every night.....so should a feministic journalist from a women's page telephone me today and ask me how often I have told my wife that I love her, I will reply (after a quick arpeggio on the calculator to check), roughly 16,822 times. And I spoke the truth every time.
I am sure it helped to keep Frank Muir's love alive to regularly affirm it. We can profess our hope in prayer, meditation and hymn singing.
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
On Christ the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
His oath, His covenant and His blood,
I am convinced that hymns like the above are a very potent method of confirming our hope in the promises and finished work of Jesus.
(2) Remembering the faithfulness and reliability of the one on whose promises we rely. God keeps his word. In Genesis50 v25 and 26 we read the touching last request Joseph made of his family:
(D) The Call to Action: no hesitation. v24 Let us consider how we may spur one another on towards love and good deeds.
I think I am indebted to one of the old writers in the Pulpit Commentary for my next two headings. I am not capable of such elegance of language. The writer to the Hebrews calls us to:
We are not urged to consider ourselves, nor encouraged to ask, "What's best for me?" This is what Christians are doing to the ruination of many churches. If we consider others before ourselves we will be obeying the advice of Paul who wrote Each of you should look not only to your own interests but also to the interests of others. Phil2v4 What a lot of trouble this would prevent. There would be:
(2) Less division within churches most of which is down to selfishness. People nurse bruised egos, plot revenge and give in to spite.
(3) Fewer churches fatally weakened by desertion. How can you show consideration to your fellow Christians by abandoning them. Does a loving father abandon his wife and children. Desertions occur when someone puts their own interests first, above those of their brothers and sisters in Christ.
(4) More support and encouragement for dedicated Christian workers from others in their churches. There would be fewer drones. The idle do not show any consideration for their fellows. Parasites weaken the host upon which they feed, draining it of vitality and well being.
(b) The design of mutual consideration.
Over forty years ago now my mother stirred me up. She was a great visitor and she encouraged me to visit the elderly. She said, "You should go and see Miss Ward, John, she would love to see you." This week I have paid three such visits. They are a continuing tribute to my mother's efforts to spur on her son to good deeds. Some months ago, after my brother Paul had conducted services at our church in Brockley and told us about the work he was doing in Clapham, London, amongst the disadvantaged, two of our members, George and Lal, stirred me up. They wanted to know what we as a church were going to do to help. We have not always been very enthusiastic as a church to use our wealth to help others. We have been overly cautious. However there has been an improvement recently - and it is down to those who stir things up!
(E) The call to fellowship: no separation. v25 Let us not give up meeting together as some are in the habit of doing but let us encourage one another.
Most of us have experienced what was happening amongst these Jewish Christians. People were starting to stop away from the church services - to separate themselves from their fellow believers. This is one of the most dangerous things a Christian can do. It is a sure fire recipe for disaster. So why do so many do it?
When he gets to his pew and looks round him he sees just that selection of his neighbours whom he has hitherto avoided. ...... Provided that any of those neighbours sing out of tune, or have boots that squeak, or double chins, or odd clothes, the patient will quite easily believe that their religion must therefore be somehow ridiculous.
(b) Some Christians withdraw from church attendance to lick their wounds in private. We can feel dreadful - bereaved, disappointed in love, full of despair about our family, depressed and run down, hurt and upset - and so we stop away. We can creep into a corner like a wounded dog and lick our wounds. Such is the very time to come to God's house. God is faithful.
I have to say that there are times when a particularly awkward, difficult, surly, old dog creeps away into a corner and we are glad to see him go. I used to take a grumpy old man to church. He was very cantankerous. Perhaps some would say that we deserved each other! When he prayed at the prayer meeting he used this as an opportunity to put us all right. One day he was particularly obnoxious as I was driving him through Bury St Edmunds. I slammed on my breaks - without looking in the mirror. It is a good thing that there was nothing behind! I turned round and said to old Jack, "You can either be civil and I will take you to church or continue in that vein and I will take you home. It is your decision". Well I took him to the prayer meeting and then I took him home. He never said another word and I never saw him again till the day he died. It is on my conscience. I should have gone to see him and talked the situation through with him. I was too much of coward. It is too late now. We should not abandon ungracious, unlovely, old dogs to their corner. It is easier to rescue the lost sheep. The father of the prodigal son did go out to the elder brother and reason with him.
(c) Large numbers of Christians begin to stay away from church because they are too busy. Beware! Beware! Remember Jesus' story about the seed that fell amongst thorns. The gracious influence of the gospel was stifled and smothered by the cares of this world. Our chief priority should be the service of God. It is no good putting our careers first and then rationalising the situation by pretending that we can serve God exclusively in our careers. We cannot. Neither our careers nor our families nor our interests should come before our reasonable service to the Master. Jesus said, No-one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. Mat6v24.
Two business people in my village used to attend our chapel irregularly. I liked them very much. When they retired they became active in the church and were very useful. They didn't live long in retirement. Think of the years they wasted when they were obsessed by business and the good they could have done by being active earlier.
I was a dedicated schoolteacher. I was a flawed schoolteacher but I worked very hard! However there were two things I always found time for however weary I felt. One was sport and the other was Christian service. Funerals were always difficult. You cannot plan for a funeral. So sometimes I would be asked to conduct a funeral in a particularly busy week... But God is faithful. He always helped me in his service. Yes I can honestly say - always.
(d) We can stop away from church because we don't feel like attending. During the winter months I never feel like getting up. I wish that I did! I never wake up and think - yipee! another wonderful day, and leap out of bed - glad to be alive. But I do get up. Gradually I begin to feel better about it all. Wouldn't I be a fool to stop in bed because I didn't feel like getting up. It is equally foolish to stop away from church because of how you feel. It is dangerous. It suggests that you are beginning to drift, that you are losing your first love. The very time that it is vital to be at church is when you feel least like going. Go, go, go. Get up and go. Make yourself go as I make myself get up on dark, bleak, winter mornings. It is not long before I begin to cheer up.
We will not separate ourselves from other Christians if:
Severe temptations pull a man or a woman out of the church. Chief amongst these is romantic love. Shared love makes for delirious happiness. Is it right to be happy at the expense of the happiness of many others who will be made miserable by your actions.
(b) If we have our own spiritual interest at heart. We are encouraged as Christians as we meet together. I have so often been blessed by attending our little prayer meeting. We pray for each other and the welfare of our aging church membership. We share the word. Brother Peter will come up and share a thought in his cheerful, inimitable way. We learn what each is doing to help the weaker members of our church. Those who are confident help the diffident, the steadfast are an example to the waverer and the joyful a tonic to the dispirited.
Our mutual burdens bear
And often for each other flows
The sympathising tear.

Progressive champion Ocasio-Cortez doesn’t rule out potential primary challenge next year against Senate majority leader
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says that she and fellow New York Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer are “working very closely” in Congress, but the progressive champion isn’t ruling out a potential 2022 primary challenge against the Senate majority leader.
Ocasio-Cortez, a two-term lawmaker who represents parts of the New York City boroughs of the Bronx and Queens, said in an interview with CNN that she and Schumer – who has served in Congress for more than four decades and has been the top Democrat in the Senate for the past four and a half years – have been allies in some blockbuster legislative battles.
“For what it’s worth, Sen. Schumer and I have been working very closely on a lot of legislation and that, to me, is important,” Ocasio-Cortez told CNN’s Dana Bash.
But Ocasio-Cortez wouldn’t rule out a primary challenge against Schumer when he’s up for reelection next year.
“I know it drives everybody nuts. But the way that I really feel about this, and the way that I really approach my politics and my political career is that I do not look at things and I do not set my course positionally,” the congresswoman said.
“And I know there’s a lot of people who do not believe that. But I really – I can’t operate the way that I operate and do the things that I do in politics while trying to be aspiring to other things or calculating to other things,” Ocasio-Cortez added.
Schumer, who was first elected to the Senate in 1998, has a savvy political touch and has never faced a serious primary challenge during his three successful reelection campaigns. He rarely criticizes the Democratic Party’s left wing and has aligned himself with top progressives during his tenure leading the Senate Democrats.
Ocasio-Cortez grabbed national attention in the 2018 primaries when she defeated longtime Rep. Joe Crowley, who was on a possible track to eventually succeed Nancy Pelosi as House Democratic leader. Her victory was followed that year by a handful of other progressive contenders, who also ousted longtime House Democrats, and Ocasio-Cortez became the most well-known of the group of liberal female House freshmen known as “the Squad.”

Something you weren't looking for.
A gift for a friend who just earned his BA title in Physics. He's really into biking so I thought he'd dig this.
Also the reason why I forced myself to finish it (took me forever but i had so much fun with it); some parts still look a little messy but this is as finished as it gets for me. Also I was avoiding what I call the "Water-oil Syndrome" which is layering the crap out of a watercolor and getting too caught up with the details (still I used acrylics for some parts). I still haven't got the hang of it but I continue to work on that.
For some parts I used Cretacolor aquarellith pencils. They are awesome and so easy to use. Can't believe I've lived so long without them.

Bunker Kaliadem is a concrete shelter located on the slopes of Mount Merapi in Indonesia. It was built in 2001 as a place for people to evacuate during eruptions of the volcano. However, in 2006, the bunker was buried by pyroclastic flow during a major eruption of Merapi. Two volunteers who were monitoring the volcano at the time were killed inside the bunker.
Despite the tragedy, the bunker has been preserved as a reminder of the power of Mount Merapi and the importance of preparedness. Today, the bunker is a popular tourist destination, and it is also used as a base for education and research on volcanoes.
History of Bunker Kaliadem
The 2006 eruption of Mount Merapi was one of the most devastating volcanic eruptions in Indonesia’s recent history. The eruption killed over 350 people and displaced hundreds of thousands more. Bunker Kaliadem was located in one of the areas that was hardest hit by the eruption.
The pyroclastic flow that buried Bunker Kaliadem was a mixture of hot gas and volcanic debris that traveled down the mountain at speeds of up to 700 kilometers per hour. The flow was so powerful that it buried the bunker under 4 meters of material.
The 2010 eruption of Mount Merapi was another major eruption, but it was not as devastating as the 2006 eruption. Bunker Kaliadem was not buried in the 2010 eruption, but it was damaged by the heat and ash from the volcano.
Bunker Kaliadem Today
Today, the bunker is a popular tourist destination. Visitors can walk through the bunker and see the damage that was caused by the 2006 eruption. There is also a museum at the bunker that tells the story of the eruption and the people who were affected by it.
Bunker Kaliadem is also used as a base for education and research on volcanoes. The Indonesian government and various universities use the bunker to train volunteers on how to monitor volcanoes and respond to eruptions.
The Bunker as a Symbol of Resilience
Bunker Kaliadem is a symbol of the resilience of the people who live in the shadow of Mount Merapi. Despite the dangers posed by the volcano, people have rebuilt their lives and communities after each eruption. Bunker Kaliadem stands as a reminder of the strength and determination of the human spirit.
Bunker Kaliadem as a Reminder of Merapi’s Power
The bunker is also a reminder of the power of Mount Merapi. The volcano is still active, and it could erupt again at any time. Bunker Kaliadem is a reminder of the importance of preparedness and the need to respect the power of nature.
Importance of Remembering Bunker Kaliadem and the Eruptions of Mount Merapi
Bunker Kaliadem is a haunting reminder of the 2006 eruption of Mount Merapi and the tragic loss of life that occurred. However, the bunker is also a symbol of hope and resilience. It is a reminder that the human spirit can overcome even the most devastating challenges.
It is important to remember the bunker and the eruptions of Mount Merapi for several reasons. First, it is a way to honor the memory of the people who were killed in the eruptions. Second, it is a way to learn from the past and prevent similar tragedies from happening in the future. Third, it is a way to remind ourselves of the power of nature and the importance of preparedness.
We can learn a lot from the story of the bunker. We can learn about the importance of early warning systems and evacuation plans. We can learn about the dangers of pyroclastic flows and other volcanic hazards. And we can learn about the importance of community resilience in the face of disaster.
By remembering Bunker Kaliadem, we can help to ensure that future generations are better prepared for the eruptions of Mount Merapi and other volcanoes around the world.


The beautiful L82 originates from the lower Rio Xingu in Brazil (around Altamira). The species is very variable in terms of spot size and shape. Wild-caught specimens also often have a yellowish-orange spot coloration or shiny green-blue spots (“Opal-Pleco”). A few days ago (on October 30, 2023), the species, which received its L-number back in 1991, was scientifically described as Scobinancistrus raonii. These are carnivorous loricariid catfish that have little use for greenery. The maximum size reported to date is approx. 20 cm.
Fortunately the species is bred from time to time. We can offer just beautiful German offspring in the size 6-8 cm.
For our customers: the animals have code 26480-L 082x-3 on our stocklist. Please note that we only supply wholesale.

In my soft dreams of you,
I reach out to touch your almost forgotten fragrance.
Elusive and hanging by a starlight thread
beautiful and out of reach.
If I grasp you,
I know you will take me down old hazy roads
where passion fruits wildly spilt open,
bursting sweet,yellow,juicy in the sun,
the beloved scent blending with
quiet peach roses that grow peacefully
behind the whitewashed wooden backdoor,
of many a childhood escapade.
When I was a child,
I thought your sepals were real velvet,
here, I see you blooming
but you don’t smell quite the same,
maybe you are from another time,
