If you’re like most people, you probably think of Biotin as simply a B-complex vitamin. However, Biotin is so much more than that! In fact, Biotin is one of the most essential vitamins for your overall health. This is because Biotin plays a crucial role in many different bodily functions. In this blog post, we will discuss the incredible benefits of Biotin and how you can reap the benefits of this powerful vitamin through IV Biotin.
What Is Biotin?
Biotin, also known as Vitamin H, is a part of the B-vitamin group. This vitamin is essential for the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates, and it plays a role in the production of DNA and RNA. Biotin is found in many different foods, including eggs, nuts, legumes, and leafy green vegetables. However, receiving an adequate amount of Biotin through diet alone can be challenging, which is where IV Biotin comes in. A lack of Biotin can lead to a number of health problems, including hair loss, brittle nails, and skin rashes, which is why it’s so important to make sure you’re getting enough of this vitamin.
The Benefits Of Using Biotin
So, what are the benefits of Biotin? In this section, we’ll discuss some of the most incredible benefits of Biotin and how you can improve your health by incorporating Biotin into your daily routine. Here are just a few of the ways that Biotin can improve your health:
Helps To Strengthen The Heart
Biotin has been shown to stop problems that may occur with the heart. When Biotin is regularly consumed, it can help stimulate good blood flow, as well as the production of HDL cholesterol, which is the “good” cholesterol that helps to remove LDL cholesterol from the arteries. Biotin can also help to lower triglyceride levels, which are a type of fat found in the blood.
Regulate Metabolism Levels
When Biotin is present in the body, it helps to regulate metabolism levels. This vitamin helps to break down carbohydrates and fats, which can provide the body with energy. A healthy metabolism is critical for maintaining a healthy weight, as well as preventing chronic diseases such as diabetes.
Biotin has also been shown to reduce inflammation throughout the body. This vitamin helps to protect cells and tissues from damage, as well as promote healing. Biotin can also help to reduce the symptoms of conditions such as arthritis, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis. If you are experiencing inflammation, Biotin may be a useful treatment option for you.
Positively Impacts Breastfeeding and Pregnancy
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, mothers need Biotin more than ever because they often lack this particular vitamin. In fact, the US Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Science’s Institute of Medicine recommends at least 30 mcg of vitamin B7 for pregnant women. This amount increases to 35 mcg if you’re planning on breastfeeding. So, by boosting your Biotin intake through IV Biotin, you can help to support a healthy pregnancy and breastfeeding experience.
Benefits Weight Loss
A surprising benefit of Biotin is that it can help with weight loss. Biotin helps the body to metabolize fats and carbohydrates, which can lead to more energy and a boost in metabolism. Additionally, Biotin has been shown to reduce cravings for sugary and fatty foods. So, if you’re looking to lose weight, Biotin may be a useful treatment option for you.
Increases Your Immunity
When you aren’t producing enough white blood cells, you become more susceptible to illnesses and infections. Biotin helps with the production of white blood cells, which is why this vitamin is often referred to as the “anti-infection” vitamin. It can help to protect you from colds, flu, and other illnesses.
Promotes Healthier Skin
If you suffer from dermatitis, acne, or other skin conditions, Biotin may be a useful treatment option for you. Biotin helps to improve the health of the skin by increasing cell turnover and creating new, healthy cells. This vitamin also helps to reduce inflammation and redness, which can help to promote healthier skin.
Create Healthier Nails And Hair
A lack of Biotin can lead to brittle nails and hair loss. Biotin helps to create keratin, which is a protein that’s essential for healthy nails and hair. By increasing your Biotin intake, you can help to strengthen your nails and promote healthier hair growth. In fact, Biotin is often referred to as the “beauty vitamin” because of its positive effects on the nails and hair, so much so that you’ll often find that salon products will list Biotin as one of their key ingredients.
Improves Overall General Health
Even if you don’t suffer from any specific health conditions, Biotin can still be beneficial for you. Biotin is essential for the proper function of enzymes in the body, which are responsible for countless biochemical reactions. Biotin also helps to produce energy and synthesize fatty acids and glucose. So, by increasing your Biotin intake through IV Biotin, you can help to improve your overall health.

Sometimes I do not think that I deserve to be loved.
I am strange,
I take swords to my chest, you see,
and I plunge them deep
whenever the corners of my mouth lift too high,
for my own liking.
I then pull them out and push them in again
The pain of it lingers, though I stopped crying out a long time ago.
The pain of cracking my own chest open,
and hoping beyond hope that I like what I see.
And the hope that you, darling, like it too.
He put her in a bottle,
of sea glass and coral.
She was dressed in laurels,
up to their necks in rose colored lust.
Their eyes are lowered to the ground.
I cannot stop this bleeding
With the cries of men beating at my back.
And this heroic candlelight,
offering much more than virtue.
To the common moth,
a broader view.
In this twilight
There’s this song,
stuck in your head
Autumn leaves caught in my hair,
beauty or something else
Don’t move, darling,
there’s a caterpillar on your shoulder.
Does my neck smell like summer?
Like roses or hydrangeas,
peppering my skin.
Far cry from lovely
She was inside of him,
clutching his ribs for support.
He didn’t want her there.
She made him a machine,
a creature of habit.
This sad discord,
shifting to a loud quartet.
He dragged her to the bonfire
and the flames were screaming,
lonely and strange.
Her hair caught first,
then her rosebud mouth.
He fell to his knees.
The devil was watching.

The past two mornings have been the source of some curious sightings on Exmouth beach.
Hundreds of 'penis shaped' creatures have reportedly been washed up along the West Country shoreline.
Our sister publication Devon Live reports the story of a local dog walker who said he came across the usual discovery yesterday at around 7.15am.
He said: "We walked along the beach from the Clock Tower to the lifeboat station and there were hundreds of them. They were all over the beach.
"This morning there were even more of them, but this time I could only see them between the Harbour View Cafe and the Clock Tower.
"What worried me most of all was if there were dangerous to dogs, although mine didn't take much notice of them.
"I do remember seeing something like it once before a few years back, but I never thought much of it as there weren't many.
"I read a story last week about 'penis fish' being washed up in California and the reason given was storms. We have had quite high onshore winds for the last week or more so that is probably the reason why we are seeing them.
"I would like to know for sure what they are."
A picture of the strange looking creature was posted on the Exmouth Community Facebook page asking if anyone knows what they might be.
The post said: "It might look like a seahorse, but they are not all like the one shown."
Other users suggested the creatures could have been sea cucumbers, salps and urechis unicinctus - known as the fat innkeeper worm or Chinese penis fish, and is a species of marine spoon worm.
Last week tens of thousands of the penis worms were reported to have washed up on a beach in the US, named after Devon-born sea-faring hero Sir Francis Drake.
Marine experts believe the phallic creatures were forced out of their underwater burrows and dumped on Drakes Beach in California by recent storms.
Here in the UK the South West has been hit by particularly bad weather with weather warnings for rain and floods issued in various places.
What are they?
Known as the 'fat innkeeper' worm or penis fish, the unusual animal is species of marine spoon worm.
Penis fish produce a thick mucus and are known as a delicacy in East Asia. They are eaten raw with salt and sesame oil, grilled or stir-fried with vegetables, and also used as fishing bait.
The creatures dig U-shaped burrows within beaches or mudflats and the tunnels are then left behind for other sea life to move in - hence its "innkeeper" name.
It's thought the worms can grow to almost a foot long and seagulls scoop them from the sand and gobble them down their gullets.
The bizarre, but harmless creatures, can live for up to 25 years and spend most of their lives on the sea floor.
Researchers have found U-shaped burrows dating back 300 million years.

SP Performance drilled and slotted rotors gives the advantages of both drilled holes for cooling and slots to expel gasses and brake dust. SP Performance Rotors use only the finest materials from very select factories.
SP Performance Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors are at
the top of the list for performance rotors. By
eliminating the sharp edges on our Cross Drilled holes, it greatly reduces the chance
of cracking by moving the air and brake dust from the disc brake surface while
reducing the surface temperature. By
keeping the surface temperature down, this nearly eliminates heat checking and
warping. All SP Performance Rotors
are manufactured to OEM specifications, machine balanced and gray ZRC Coating.
- Cross Drilled Holes: Holes are machined with our Exclusive Sinusoid Curve Chamfer, which promotes cooling and minimizes stress. They maximize air circulation, and with absolutely no sharp edge, our "chamfer" reduces the possibility of heat checking and increases both rotor and pad life.
- Directional Curved Slots: Slots helps increase pad bite, improves air circulation and cooling. The slots also help vent gasses, reduce brake fade and stop brake hydroplaning in wet weather reducing stopping distances.
- Corrosion Resistant Finish: Corrosion resistant finishes give a stunning clean look behind your wheels while preventing rust, corrosion and oxidation. Available in a Silver ZRC Coating, Black ZRC Coating or Gray ZRC
- Quality: Our slotted and drilled discs are made using the finest quality castings that exceed OEM specifications. Designed with the use of CAD software and produced on CNC machines insures the highest quality and consistent performance.
SP Performance Advanced Chamfering Method
SP Performance Sinusoidal Curved Chamfered Hole:
After many years of development we have come up with a drilling and chamfering method that absolutely has no sharp edges.Our brake discs are drilled with our exclusive sinusoid curved chamfer. The chamfer promotes cooling, minimizes stress, vents moisture and dust while minimizing heat checking and cracking. The smooth design also increases both rotor and pad life.
How Drilled and Slotted Rotors Work:
SP Performance Cross Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors have both functional holes and slots to provide the best cooling to the braking system. The combined forces of the brake pad rubbing against the brake rotor surface creates gasses and extensive heat which can cause brake fade, which in result, reduces stopping power. The combination of the holes and the slots is a force to be reckoned with. The holes in the brake rotor surface provide optimum cooling, while the slots keep the brake rotor surface clean providing a premium brake pad to brake rotor contact. The holes and slots on the face of the rotor will also help to eliminate hydroplaning by removing the water away from the braking surfaces when you hit a puddle, keeping you and your family safe.

Out with the old, in with the new.
In today's headlines, we've got records set, rules adjusted and new endeavors breaking ground. Oh, what tumultuous gales sweep through our TV wasteland.
When Brian Austin Green wisely backed out of a lucrative One Tree Hill guest stint because the internet made fun of it, I was so relieved. I know One Tree Hill has a devoted fanbase, but my god, that show is hilariously horrible, and BAG just proved himself as a very capable actor on Terminator (no really! He did!). He deserves better material than that. Which is why it struck me as odd that he just turned around and accepted a job on Smallville, a show that is not as bad as One Tree Hill, but still a show he shouldn't be doing. He's only signed up for two episodes so far, so it's not like he's on board for life, but I worry that he'll get suckered into more for the easy money, when he could be making just as easy money on a better show that won't be as damaging to his career. So, BAG, if you're reading this, here are some other shows you should send your resume to the minute you're done with those two Smallville eps.
Some sad news today for Kung Fu fans, but some great news for Hell's Kitchen fans and pervs, so it's not all bad.
So a sad rumor leaked today for all of us Sarah Connor Chronicles fans (the few! The proud!). Apparently Fox is fed up with the show's low ratings -- particularly the fact that it's not being watched by those sexy 18 to 49-year-olds advertisers are obsessed with for no good reason. They're also terrified that the show is bringing down their beloved Prison Break's ratings by being a less than stellar lead-in. So they're pretty much just going to cancel it, possibly as early as tomorrow. Literally. Tomorrow. It's no secret that the show is inconsistent and has a lot of storytelling problems, and I'm still in the camp that believes Lena Headey was miscast as Sarah Connor (I do, however, think she's a good actress. I just don't think she's right for this particular role), but Summer Glau and Brian Austin Green are fantastic, and so are a lot of the other actors and characters. The show has many, many moments of sheer fun, and I honestly do kind of miss it already. Wow, sorry to go all Maudlin Mindy all over everyone. I didn't mean to! Now go watch some cyborgs get the party started after the jump!
Disclaimer: Today's TWoP news is riddled with a moderately high dose of OMG moments. Those other than rabid fangirls should click at their own risk. Or skip down to that sophisticated stuff about the Emmys, football, drugs, and other American staples.
Finally, ham you can eat in the bathroom.
Casting news abounds today, from BAG replacements to new ghost-busters to heavyweight hostesses. Also, an Idol gets a record deal, and it's not Gokey. Hooray!!!

Labor Market Consequences of Anti-Tax Avoidance Policies: Evidence from the UK Worldwide Debt Cap
Early Career Research Grant
I propose to analyze the consequences of multinational firms reallocating employees across their affiliates in response to anti-tax avoidance policies. The UK introduced a worldwide debt cap in 2010, generating a quasi-natural experiment that limited interest deductibility for a group of multinational firms (MNCs). Bilicka et al (2019) show that multinationals affected by the reform reduced the amount of debt held in the UK and increased debt held abroad. Affected multinationals also reallocated a share of their real operations, including employment, away from the UK. In this paper, I propose to analyze the heterogeneous consequences of this reform for local labor markets where MNCs operate.

HTC Vive announces standalone VR headset
- Thursday, February 21st, 2019
- Share this article:
HTC Vive has announced the launch of the Vive Focus Plus, a new virtual reality standalone hardware for enterprise customers. The technology is based off the existing six degrees of freedom (6DoF) Focus headset and will now consist of dual 6DoF controllers for enhanced interaction with the virtual environment. The headset has also been altered so that developers may port existing PC VR content more efficiently.
“At Vive, the announcement of Vive Focus Plus furthers our commitment to rapidly iterate and refine the VR market for both businesses and consumers,” said Daniel OBrien, general manager of Americas, HTC Vive. “This rollout of Vive Focus Plus leads the way for deeper immersion, more realistic training and simulation, and easier porting of experiences from PC to the stand-alone category.”
According to HTC Vive, the Vive Focus Plus is also more comfortable for players to wear, with added full enterprise support to allow for extended playing sessions. The headset comes imbedded with Kiosk Mode, Gaze Support and other control tools that allow users to remotely enroll, monitor and manage multiple headsets at once. HTC VIVE plans to globally release the headset later this year, and depending on location, will include a complimentary enterprise license for users.
Using the Vive Wave Platform, which includes content from Viveport, customers have access to Viveport Infinity, the first unlimited subscription service for VR. For a monthly fee, subscribers will be able to use games, apps, experiences and other content. Viveport Infinity is compatible with the Vive Focus Plus, high-end PC-based VR systems, and most Wave supported headsets.
Vive plans to showcase the headset and other new products at Mobile World Congress next week and will follow with an official launch on April 2. Currently, the technology is already being used by health and safety simulation training companies.

In a recent development concerning the 2026 Formula One season, there’s a growing consensus among teams to potentially restrict early car development. This move aims to prevent newcomers from gaining an undue advantage and ensure a level playing field for all participants.
- Equal Footing for Newcomers: The proposed rule change for the 2026 F1 season aims to ensure that all teams, including newcomers, start developing their cars at the same time. This is to avoid giving new teams an unfair time advantage in car development.
- Impact of the Budget Cap and Strategy Shifts: The introduction of the budget cap has made planning more crucial. Teams are strategizing for the significant changes expected in the 2026 regulations, particularly concerning power units and overall rules, which complicates the development process for the 2024 and 2025 cars.
- Potential Rule to Halt Early 2026 Development: Technical chiefs from existing teams have discussed halting the aerodynamic development of the 2026 cars in wind tunnels and CFD simulations until 2025. This suggestion, however, is yet to be confirmed as a rule by the FIA and the F1 Commission.
The Formula One community is abuzz with the prospect of a significant rule change affecting the development of cars for the 2026 season. As the sport braces for a major overhaul in regulations and power units, teams are finding themselves in a strategic quandary. The need to balance immediate and future performance is more critical than ever, especially under the constraints of the newly implemented budget cap.
James Allison, Mercedes Chief, encapsulated the situation aptly, saying, “The cards will be completely reshuffled. Everything that happened before no longer counts. Everyone starts with a blank sheet of paper.” This statement reflects the magnitude of the changes expected and the reset in strategies it necessitates.
One critical aspect of these discussions is ensuring a fair start for all teams, particularly the newcomers. There’s a palpable concern that early starters, especially new entrants, might gain a significant advantage if they begin their development work too soon. This concern is exemplified by the situation at Alfa Romeo Sauber, which is set to be taken over by Audi in 2026. Sauber CEO Andreas Seidl indicated that much of the team’s resources in 2025 would be allocated towards the 2026 car, highlighting the strategic shifts teams are contemplating.
Despite the consensus among technical chiefs, the implementation of any rule to restrict early development is not yet certain. The decision requires intervention from both the FIA and the F1 Commission. As the sport gears up for these significant changes, teams, officials, and fans alike wait eagerly for clarity on the rules that will shape the future of Formula One.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Mike Anderson wanted nothing more than to return home when he left Missouri for Arkansas in 2011. He is no hurry to leave.
The fourth-year coach signed a two-year contract extension Tuesday through the 2019-20 season. The former Razorbacks assistant was originally signed to a seven-year contract.
"This is the kind of commitment that confirms my decision to be the head coach at the University of Arkansas and return to a place that has been so great to me and my family," Anderson said. "I know I'm the right person for this job, and I know how many people in the state of Arkansas that our program touches. We will return to NCAA tournaments, and I will get the job done."
Arkansas is off to an 11-2 start this season and is ranked No. 23. As of Monday, the Razorbacks are 70-41 under Anderson, including 60-6 at Bud Walton Arena, and their NIT selection last season was the school's first postseason appearance since 2008.
Anderson will continue to make $2.2 million annually during his two-year extension, the same salary as his original contract. His extension also includes a maximum of $200,000 in annual incentive bonuses related to academic achievement.
Last spring, six players graduated from Arkansas.
"Under his leadership, we have made substantial progress on the court," athletic director Jeff Long said. "He has firmly positioned our program to once again compete for SEC championships and return to the NCAA tournament for years to come."
Anderson, who was an assistant coach at Arkansas under Nolan Richardson for 17 seasons -- including during the 1994 national championship run -- is the first Razorbacks coach to win 18 or more games in each of his first three seasons.
He took over a program that had largely been mired in mediocrity since Richardson's firing in 2002, though last season's 22-12 record marked the school's first 20-win season since 2007-08. It also included a pair of wins against NCAA tournament runner-up Kentucky.
The former UAB and Missouri coach has never had a losing season.

According to the first deputy director at Russian regional airline IrAero, drying up supply of US-made spark plugs, needed for the engines of Russia’s Sukhoi Superjet passenger aircraft, could lead to grounding of some airplanes and potentially of the entire fleet “in the near future.”
In the letter sent by the airline official to Russian trade ministry last month, he warns that the lack of American-made parts threatens to ground some Superjets “in the near future and a gradual cessation of flights of the entire aircraft fleet.”
The acute shortage of spark plugs needed for the engines of Russian passenger jets occurred as result of the sanctions targeting Russian aviation, imposed by the United States and other Western countries over Russia attacked Ukraine, launching a brutal war of aggression against peaceful neighbor.
Besides IrAero, several other Russian airlines are dealing with the growing problem of foreign-made aircraft parts shortage.
Russian passenger airline sector currently is currently facing a major crisis due to the spark plug deficit, Azimuth Airlines chairman said, while Yakutia Airlines officials said that the carrier no longer has any new spark plugs in stock.
Rossiya Airlines, which is part of the Aeroflot group, is also being affected. The carrier, which is the largest operator of the Superjet, is expected to keep only 30 of its 76 Superjet aircraft in service.
According to IrAero’s chief executive, the lack of critical parts jeopardizes passenger flights and may also have a major impact on air fare rates.
“We hope Russian industry resolves the issue as soon as possible,” airline official said, warning that the airline would have to stop operating its jets if there is no resolution.
The Sukhoi Superjet 100, a regional aircraft designed by Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation, made its maiden flight in 2008, while the first commercial flight was carried out in April 2011.
The jet is equipped with Sam-146 engines produced by a joint venture between French Safran and Russian state-owned United Engine Corporation. The spark plugs for the SaM-146 engines were manufactured by the US-based company Unison Industries.
In March 2022, PowerJet, the Russian-French manufacturer of the SaM146 engines, said it would suspend its engine maintenance and repair services.

Whenever one is filing a lawsuit looking for compensation, one of the choices they need to make is whether or not to utilize pre-settlement funding. Pre-settlement funding is very beneficial in the case of individuals filing a lawsuit after injuries caused to them by other parties. Whether you were injured in a car accident, a slip and fall accident, workplace injuries or any other damage, the first step that you will need to make is visiting a healthcare facility. The doctors will determine the extent of your injuries and also determine the best recovery path for you.
Apart from seeking the services of a qualified doctor, one also needs to hire an attorney. It is possible in some states to file a personal injury suit on your own, but there are plenty of benefits that you will experience when you make the right decision and utilize the services of an attorney. Are slip and fall lawsuits hard to win? How long after a slip and fall can you sue? You will benefit from the tips from a slip and fall lawyer. The attorneys will also handle the paperwork and thus allow you to focus on seeking medical attention. Are slip and fall cases hard to win?
Seeking the help of a healthcare center and a slip and fall attorney at https://www.usclaims.com/what-we-fund/slip-and-fail/ means that one will have medical bills as well as legal expenses to cover. Apart from these expenses, you will also have regular household expenses, especially when you are not able to go to the workplace due to the injuries. To make the process less expensive, there is a need to make the right choice and utilize pre-settlement funding. The litigation finance companies will evaluate your suit, and when you qualify for pre-settlement funding, you will obtain a lump sum payment that you can utilize to pay household bills as well as medical costs. The process of obtaining the cash will only take a few days after the finance companies examine your case and the paperwork from your attorney.
One of the best reasons to utilize pre-settlement funding is that finance companies usually utilize ‘no cost unless you win’ basis. This will mean that one will not be required to pay anything back to the finance company when they do not win the case.
Another benefit that comes with choosing pre-settlement funding is that you will get the cash that you can utilize to pay any pressing expenses such as bills, mortgage, rent, or even purchasing food.

Trucks are getting smarter. Just look at America's bestseller, the Ford F-150. From a tough workhorse of the past, the half-ton truck has been filled with tech toys that make it an attractive choice for those who value technology and safety features in their hauler. Even more, the F-150 gets a hybrid powertrain option for its latest-generation model.
Another big three has also made its trucks smarter over time. The GMC Sierra has introduced the MultiPro Tailgate in 2018, which revolutionizes the way tailgates are used for various work purposes. This, too, is expected to be added to the Chevy Silverado next year, and it seems like it's not the only feature we should watch out for in GM trucks.
Gallery: 2021 Chevrolet Silverado Realtree Edition
According to a report by GM-Trucks, which got the information from its sources with General Motors, the Silverado and the Sierra are getting the Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert in 2022. Of note, this feature is already available in GM SUVs such as the 2021 Chevy Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade.
If the report turns out to be true, GM trucks would be following what the Ford F-150 owners have been enjoying since 2017.
The GM-Trucks report continues by revealing that the new feature will be under the RPO Code "UKV" and will be called the "Extended Side Blind Zone Alert" or "ESBZA." The website's sources also said that the new feature will be available in 2021 and in the cards as a mid-year update, though a 2022 model year debut is more likely given the delays brought upon by the coronavirus pandemic.
Meanwhile, while GM is following what the F-150 has started, the Blue Oval is also reportedly rolling its own version of the multi-function tailgate.

Just a quick note on the euro situation. The rescue operation to head off a self-fulfilling panic in Italy and Spain has succeeded, for now. But meanwhile the real economies continue to suffer; the latest is France, where growth has stalled.
What this means is that of the four big eurozone economies — Germany, France, Italy, Spain — three are now stalled with high unemployment. So why, exactly, did the ECB raise rates? This isn’t even one-size-fits-all, it’s one-size-fits-one.
Yes, inflation. But eurozone inflation looks just like US inflation: a bulge due to higher commodity prices that it already passing through the system, with clear indications that inflation will be back to low levels soon. And anyway, Europe really needs a somewhat higher inflation target than the United States to deal with its lack of labor market integration.
So will the ECB back down on its monetary tightening? There’s a lot at stake here: a very fragile euro can’t handle a trigger-happy central bank.

The country’s supply of locally produced potatoes is sufficient and only the chipping potatoes or the variety used by fast-food chains to make French fries are affected by a global shortage, a top official of the Department of Agriculture (DA) said Saturday.
“As far as the Department of Agriculture is concerned, our local potatoes, which unfortunately are not the variety na ginagamit for French fries [used for french fries], ay tayo naman ay very very much sufficient. Actually, surplus pa nga tayo [Actually, we have a surplus],” Agriculture Undersecretary Kristine Evangelista said in an interview on Dobol B TV.
Evangelista explained that the locally produced potato variety or “table potato,” commonly sold in public markets and groceries, have a different texture and consistency compared to the chipping potato variety.
She added that fast-food chains also have to comply with their global franchisors in terms of the variety of potatoes to be used to make French fries.
“That is something beyond our control,” Evangelista said.
The DA, early this week, confirmed there was a global shortage of the potato variety that is used for French fries, prompting several fast-food chains to limit the portions of the snack, with some restaurants temporarily halting the sale of large servings.
The DA official said there is still a problem in the supply of potatoes used for French fries due to logistics challenges and lower yield production of the chipping variety.
To help local potato farmers, Evangelista said the DA is in talks with local restaurants to encourage them to get their supply of potatoes for side dishes locally.
“Because they don’t have to comply naman sa requirements ng international fast-food chains so kami po ay nakikipag-usap sa mga grupo katulad ng RestoPH [we are in talks with groups such as RestoPh],” Evangelista said. —KG, GMA News

Wembley Stadium signs up EE as first 'lead brand partner'
Wembley Stadium has announced a six-year deal with EE to make the mobile brand its first "lead brand partner", as it hopes to become the "most connected" stadium in the world.
Partnership deal: EE and Wembley Stadium
The venue will be renamed Wembley Stadium connected by EE, emphasising the Football Association's efforts to "enhance visitor experience" through mobile connectivity.
The FA has long been on a hunt for a sponsor for the stadium, and rumours of a commercial tie-up have been circulating since 2007. The agreement was then speculated for an official announcement in November 2012, but the FA sturggled in its search for a partner.
Wembley's chairman Melvin Benn said: "Wembley Stadium marked its 90th anniversary in 2013 and this partnership shows that we’re looking to the future and ensuring that we fulfil our ambition to offer inspiring memories, whilst bringing innovation to the stadium at a much faster rate and providing services that are at the forefront of consumer engagement and technology."
EE has already planned its sponsorship activation, including mobile ticketing solutions, enhanced mobile network access and super-fast Wi-Fi available for all stadium visitors.
A new logo uniting the two organisations is also expected to be unveiled later today.
The deal includes the launch of a free app, offering a feed of event content as well as stadium and travel information. The bespoke app is the first of its kind for Wembley visitors and is available for download on Apple and Android devices from today.
Olaf Swantee, chief executive of EE, added: "Over the coming months, we will announce an exciting programme of upgrades and innovations to the existing infrastructure at Wembley that will ensure the stadium offers visitors a world class spectator experience for many years to come."
The partnership kicks off this weekend with the League Cup Final between Manchester City and Sunderland on Sunday 2 March.

Shalom, as a Biblical concept, encompasses a lot of things that our larger world frequently separates from each other: peace, justice, mercy, hope, and love. Larger American society is not one where shalom is widely experienced, practiced, or even publicly spoken. But that does not mean we are not desperately yearning for the enoughness that is shalom and grateful for those inbreaking moments when we do experience, dream, and tell stories of shalom.
The reality many Americans are living is that a culture built on driving humanity's sense of not being enough, while, in fact, being drowned in enoughness, is one that cultivates despair and disconnection. Nothing and no one can be sufficient. Meals and information are always too little or too much, clothes always the wrong cuts and colors, work and family never rewarding enough. If one actually belongs to the trendsetters, the industry leaders, the educational elite, then there's always the fear of not excelling to a peer-less state all the time, of becoming one of the rest of us, the ordinarily lacking. It's a society in which every one is disposable and, at some level, every one knows that, furthering the frenzy to be different so one can be without peers in a losing game. The swirl of anxiety and despair leads many of us to further focusing on our insufficiency we fell at the very center of our beings. We are not enough. We do not belong because we are not enough. We are unloveable because we are not enough. We lose track of our gratitude and our senses of all that is good and enough, all that is part of shalom, by the continuous litany of loss and insufficiency.
Religious institutions reflect and embody the ways and issues of the cultures in which they live, so it isn't any wonder that American mainline congregations are fueled by this colossal demon of not-enoughness. We aid and abet this anxiety by focusing on what doesn't matter in living lives of meaning, lives of service to values we espouse but we struggle to practice. The longer I minister, the more troubled I am by the tidal surge of institutional focus on our fundamental insufficiency, when tending to the work of creating shalom in the city, or even for regular spiritual practice, is valued far less than competing with the very best megacongregations for program quality or range of offerings. You can be delighted by the very freshest of vegetables from your neighborhood garden, delighted to have such tasty, nourishing food, supporting the local economy, and nurturing a sense of place or you can insist that every congregation needs to offer and operate like the hypermarkets.
Yes, there are some technologies and practices congregations need to employ -- like welcoming people and offering many avenues of communication. But shalom calls us to live differently, to align the way we live with the values we speak aloud. A vital city requires the same things from its populace that vital towns and suburbs and rural areas do: regular and faithful tending to a common life for the common good and the ecosystems at the heart of life. The work of shalom - of cultivating peace, justice, mercy, hope, and love -- is work rooted in gratitude and appreciation for the wonderful enoughness of life. We cultivate diversity ad appreciate the various gifts and talents each person has. We care for those who are struggling in body and soul. We celebrate the splendid enoughness that we can have when we live centered not on what we can get next, but in the state of gratitude for all that life has and that we can enjoy and create in this place.
Americans are celebrating Thanksgiving this coming week. It is a holiday filled with mythic images speaking to our longings for connection, for shared life and laughter among the generations, for the sufficiency that is the very opposite of what the larger culture tells us is only possible if we're worthy enough. This Thanksgiving, claim your worthiness and those of the people you are with, and take the time to share your hopes for place of shalom - of peace, justice, mercy, and love -- where you live. Then, together, consider how you can live more fully into that direction, grateful for all you have and all you can give.

Defensive Shotgun Skills I
Do you have a shotgun at home you’ve thought of using for home defense? If you had to use that shotgun to defend yourself and your family tonight do you really have the knowledge and skills necessary to prevail? Have you ever wondered if the shotgun still has relevance as a defensive weapon in our increasingly carbine-dominated world? Our instructors have a wealth of experience, training, and personal innovation in the increasingly rare art of the defensive shotgun. In Defensive Shotgun Skills we will explore the capabilities and the limitations of this incredibly powerful defensive tool so that you have the knowledge and skills to use a shotgun effectively as a defensive arm…or even decide whether or not a shotgun is the right weapon for your circumstances. Our instructors will teach you proven, practical manipulations and handling practices focused on the effective defensive use of the shotgun. In addition, our instructors will provide suggestions for practice beyond the class that will develop true proficiency for the Defensive Practitioner. If you wear a uniform or if you are just looking to defend your home and family, you will leave class with a solid understanding of the defensive shotgun and where it fits into your defensive strategy.
Duration: 8 Hours Link Up: 8:35 AM Convoy Departs: 8:45 AM Class Start 9:00 AM
Location: Old Stone Quarry, Culpeper VA
Link Up Point: E.V. Baker’s Gas Station & Country Store 4066 Zachary Taylor Highway (Rt 522) Culpeper, VA
Equipment Requirements: You will need a reliable pump-action or semi-automatic shotgun (legally owned short-barrel shotguns are allowed. Pistol-grip-only shotguns are not appropriate for this course), a practical method for carriage of extra ammunition (side saddles and butt cuffs are common), 200 rounds of bird shot, 50 rounds of buckshot, 10 slugs, some method of keeping at least 25 extra shells on your body (cargo pockets or a dump pouch are common), ballistically rated eye protection, hearing protection (electronic ear pro highly recommended), and a brimmed cap.
We strongly recommend: a shotgun with rifle-style sights and/or a red dot optic, a quality sling, a stock on your gun that has a 13” or shorter length of pull (unless you are taller than 6’2”), use of low-recoil buckshot and slugs, ensuring that you have at least some premium defensive quality buckshot that you would consider using as your main defensive load to use for patterning and the qualification…Federal’s low-recoil Flight Control buckshot loads work very well for this, in our experience.
Topics to be covered:
Mindset – the importance of avoidance, prior preparation, and other critical considerations
Factors that legally allow (“Justify”) the use of force
Proper stance for fighting with a shotgun
Combat Marksmanship Fundamentals (Hold Control, Sight Picture & Trigger Control)
Recoil Mitigation techniques
Loading & Unloading Procedures
Live Fire Drills (to include split attention tasks)
Proper ammunition selection for the mission
Positions, and Effective Use of Cover
Shooting Evaluation (Qualification)
Decision Making (Shoot/No Shoot) Exercise
Attendance Considerations: This is not designed as a student’s first firearms course and it is certainly not introductory level material. Verification of previous training is not required but honest self-assessment is. We do stress the fundamentals and highly encourage all that choose to use a firearm for self-defense to pursue excellence in its use. At a minimum to attend you must know and should be able to follow at all times the 4 Cardinal Rules of Firearms safety, you also need to be familiar with handling a firearm around other people, knowledge of your firearms manual of operation specifically how to safely load it, and unload it, open the action and keep the action open is necessary. An open mind and a willingness to be challenged, to learn and to improve are desirable. Train hard! We hope to see you on the range.

Rising deployment of solar and wind projects worldwide are anticipated to drive the demand for hydraulic fittings integrated machineries globally. High metal prices with anti-corossive and high-tensile properties are expected to hinder the market growth.
Key Market Driver -
• Rising global strategic alliances of prominent market players and regional players • Emergence of green building construction • Growth in Energy & Power projects
Key Market Restraint -
• Increasing metals economic value
Key market players are robustly investing in the research and development activities to identify the best possible strategic step that can improvise the entire businesses processes by benefiting the organization to maintain a stable market position and cater huge customer base globally.
Some of the key competitors in the hydraulic fittings market include Eaton, Parker Hannifin, Ouya Hose, Gates Corporation, Manuli Hydraulics, JingBo, The Yokohama Rubber, Bridgestone, Semperit, Hansa-Flex, Luohe YiBo, Sumitomo Riko, Jintong, Alfagomma, Continental, Ryco, Kurt, Gagong, YuTong, and Yuelongand Hengyu, Swagelok, and others.
The rapid development in the agricultural sector across developing countries such as China, and India is uplifting the hydraulic fittings market through out the region. Moreover, owing to immense growth in population, urbanization, and improved economic conditions the demand for construction equipment for gratifying the infrastructural projects is rising. As per the study, the major global market players are headquartered in United States, owing to the base camp of largest military and defense industry in the world, thus drives the hydraulic fittings market across North America. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), approximatey 70% - 80% of total U.S. agricultural equipment demand is supplied from regional manufacturers. Europe is expected to witness moderate market growth, due to moderate ongoing infrastructure projects and minimal tilt towards the adoption of advance agriculture equipment. Europe imports large amount of agricultural equipment from the U.S. as it accounts for low tariff prices, thus expected to propel the demand of hydraulic fittings in Europe. In Middle East & Africa, rapid growth in adoption of energy saving process for the heavy construction, agriculture and defense machineries, is projected to drive the deamnd for hydraulic fitting systems. Brazil is one the emerging country in agricultural sector with rising need for advance agricultural equipment in Latin America. Argentina and Brazil has the highest tariffs combined with other additional import taxes, hence has stable hydraulic fittings market growth

This offseason had a large swath of quarterback movement in part due to the 2021 NFL Draft class and the need for teams to have competent passers that fit (or better fit) a newer quarterback mold.
There have been plenty of eyes on a number of storylines surrounding the 32-plus quarterbacks throughout the league, and rightfully so. Anytime attention is brought to a team’s most important position, it saturates news cycles. Recently, eight signal-callers were taken in the first three rounds of the 2021 draft; it was the most in NFL draft history, according to NFL Research. This was after a large amount of quarterback movement earlier in the offseason via trades, when Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff swapped teams and the Philadelphia Eagles off-loaded Carson Wentz; free-agent signings, which saw veterans Ryan Fitzpatrick, Tyrod Taylor, and Andy Dalton in new colors; and some big re-signings, including Dak Prescott’s mega-deal with the Dallas Cowboys, which didn’t account for any team movement, but will surely impact a COVID-19-restricted salary cap.
None of this was entirely unexpected. The draft class had talent scattered throughout the early rounds with NFL-ready starters and developmental players eyeing the next level after an unprecedented college football season, and the blockbuster trade between the Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions highlighted the movement of current NFL quarterbacks; but none of this will compare to what we could see in the coming offseason.
Next year, all via trade, we could see the league’s most perennial passers in new destinations. Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was at the center of these discussions mere months—or weeks, if you’re losing track of your days—ago. Wilson openly (and rightfully) expressed his deep concern for Seattle’s historically poor offensive line and a desire to be part of personnel decisions. Seattle’s brass handled it as poorly as expected, evading accountability for allowing the future Hall of Fame passer to be sacked an NFL-leading 188 times (since 2017). Houston Texans passer Deshaun Watson is currently in a legal battle, facing 22 civil suits of sexual assault and misconduct; Cal McNair, the team’s CEO, is waiting on the investigation, but the Texans’ actions in the 2021 draft already shape their future under center after selecting former Stanford quarterback Davis Mills with their first draft pick. Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers are in the limelight after his reported frustrations surfaced, and this rift seems irreparable with reports surfacing that Rodgers has already told multiple teammates he won’t return for the 2021 season, and if he does, it’ll cost Brian Gutekunst his position as general manager.
There were roughly 18 passers on the move this offseason, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The NFL Network's Dan Hanzus has already highlighted 15 quarterbacks facing uncertainty in 2021. What will be most shocking isn’t the number of QBs on the move but the caliber of those passers.
Prepare for a firestorm of trade destinations, rumors, and even more confusion as some of the NFL’s most dynamic quarterbacks will likely find new homes sooner than many had originally thought.

Quantum computing, one step at a time
For anyone interested in when we’ll have large-scale quantum computers, there was a very striking paper released today, by Manny Knill.
To explain Knill’s paper, I need to give a little background.
Just a little over ten years ago, quantum computing suddenly took off when Peter Shor announced his fast algorithm for quantum factoring.
In 1994, large-scale quantum computing looked like a pipe dream. Several people said publicly (and far more said it privately): “you’ll never ever be able to build a device like that”.
The most common criticisms ran something like this: “to quantum compute, you need to do Y and Z. At the moment in the lab, you can’t even do A and B. Therefore, you’ll never be able to quantum compute.”
The tempting response is to say “well, we’re just about to do C and D, and E and F look pretty likely as well in a few years time. So maybe X and Y aren’t so unrealistic.”
That’s a tempting response, and it’s how I used to respond to this sort of criticism. But it’s turned out that neither the criticism nor the response is accurate.
What’s wrong with the argument is not (or not only) that it doesn’t take account of technological progress from A to B to C and so on.
No, the main thing wrong with the argument has turned out to be that it doesn’t take enough account of theoretical progress.
Sure, over the years experimentalists have moved from A to B to C to D, and they’re getting on to E and F.
But in the meantime, theorists have shown that, actually, you only need to do J and K to quantum compute.
(Alphabet not to scale. At least, not as far as I know.)
In short, lots of discussions of the future of quantum computing are framed as though it’s a fixed target, like building a teraflop laptop.
But it’s not. It’s a fluid target, and pure theory can move us a lot closer to the target, without technology improving a whit.
What’s this all got to do with Knill’s paper?
To go back to 1994 again, one of the first responses to Shor’s paper was numerous claims, some of them public, that quantum computing would never be possible because of the effects of noise.
Roughly speaking, the argument was that quantum states are analogue beasts, and it’s very difficult or impossible to protect analogue information against the effects of noise. Therefore, quantum computers will inevitably be overwhelmed by the effects of noise.
In late 1995 and early 1996, Peter Shor and Andrew Steane independently showed that quantum information, despite appearances to the contrary, actually behaves much more like digital information. In particular, it turns out that the analogue continuum of errors apparently afflicting quantum states can effectively be digitized, and this enables error-correction techniques to be applied to protect against the effects of noise.
I’d like to emphasize, by the by, that this ability to digitize is a deep result, not at all obvious, and depends critically on certain special properties of quantum mechanics. It’s difficult to give a short pat explanation, even to experts on quantum mechanics, and I won’t try to explain it here.
The error-correction techniques were quickly extended to an entire theory of fault-tolerant quantum computation. I won’t try and name names here, as a very large number of people were involved. Indeed, the development of fault-tolerance meant that 1996 was, perhaps the one year in the last ten in which progress toward quantum computing really did seem rapid!
Roughly speaking, the takeaway message from all this work went something like this, circa the end of 1996:
“Suppose I can build individual quantum computer elements so they work with an accuracy of 99.9999% – the so-called threshold value. Without error-correction, if I put 10 million together, there will probably be a few total failures that screw everything up. But I can use error-correction to reduce my error rate as low as I like, provided all my elements work better than that threshold. Whatsmore, this is true no matter how large the computation.”
This idea of a threshold for quantum computing is an incredibly important one, and there’s been quite a bit of work on trying to improve that number (99.9999%).
Knill’s paper is the latest in that line of work, improving the threshold.
What’s Knill’s value?
His threshold value is 97%. Or 99%, with more modest resource requirements in terms of number of gates, memory steps, etcetera.
To state the obvious, having to do things to an accuracy of 97% (or 99%) is a far more encouraging state of affairs than 99.9999%.
There’s a lot of caveats. The 97 / 99% number is for a rather artificial error model. Real physical systems don’t behave like Knill’s model. Indeed, it’s not really clear what that number translates into in terms of actual physical parameters – heating rates, dephasing times, and so on. And Knill uses a model satisfying some assumptions that may not be such a good approximation in real physical systems; indeed, they may even fail completely. (This is true of all the threshold results, although there’s been extremely encouraging recent progress on this front too.) Finally, Knill’s approach has a rather high resource overhead.
All the same, no matter how you look at it, moving from 99.9999% to 97 / 99% is pretty darn encouraging, despite the caveats. And I do wonder just how high the threshold can go.

It hit me hard, that Easter morning. We had gathered in a large school auditorium to celebrate our resurrected King. As I lifted my voice and my hands, I heard someone whisper. It was a sweet voice, singing a joyful song. Internally, it grew stronger with every external beat of the drum.
“Alive, alive, my Jesus is alive, alive forevermore,”
she sang, merry and happy and free. It was one of my translators — one of my friends. I set her voice on repeat, and it brought me back to a place up in the mountains — the Andes of Peru.
I wanted to go back. I wanted to run “home.”
I prayed as the faces of my Peruvian friends flowed in and out of my conscious thought. I prayed for them and for my return, because being patient doesn’t come easily to this growing girl.
I am excited about God’s plans for this summer; I really am. But I want to go to Peru after this next trip. The doors seem locked and the way seems shut. But I pray anyway, because I’m stubborn and passionate and crazy like that.
Crazy like that.
I posted this ^ collage on Instagram that Easter evening, knowing no one really cared and not caring that they didn’t know — didn’t understand. The caption I typed said, “…Because I just missed Peru today. Like crazy.” It was crazy; why would my sweet translator’s voice sing to me while we thanked God? It was crazy because it had been a crazy day; how could Peru be on my mind? It was crazy because I couldn’t explain it myself.
I’ve learned that my calling follows me everywhere. It is the bootstrap by which I pull myself up everyday. It is the purpose for which I work every week. It is my joy in serving my King.
Therefore, I’ll go back — someday. Someday, someday, someday I’ll kiss all those precious Peruvian cheeks again. But not until it is time — not until I am ready, perhaps. Lord knows when that will be or how long it could take. But in the meantime I’ll sing with a heart of gratitude — thanking God everyday for saving and calling and remaking me. Hearing that sweet voice rise with mine, I will sing:
“Alive, alive, my Jesus is alive, alive forevermore.”
So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do. 2 Thessalonians 1:11 NLT

I am in a funk when it comes to putting colors together. Whitman Paint has a wonderful in house consultant, Barbara, who will work with you and your swatches/samples to find many choices of paint colors for you to ponder over. I was VERY pleased with the color that I finally used and would have never been able to figure it all out on my own. Call first since this service is only available during certain hours and days.
It's hard to find unique types of yarn these days, but Sage has quite a nice variety. There is a plentiful amount of patterns as well. One flaw is that you must buy a book (costly) to use a single pattern you might see as you flip through the pages. Some yarn shops will either xerox or have single copies available for you if you purchase enough yarn for the project.
I teach Kindergarten and find this store invaluable! Upon entering it appears small, but the variety of stock is incredible! The owner is extremely helpful and doesn't rush a sale. . . you can spend a lot of time browsing and a lot of money on necessities as well as the fun extras. No need to spend endless hours looking through catalogs or searching online, this store most likely will have what you're looking for.
Falmouth Center is a wonderful place to visit. Port Cargo is a woman's boutique with a great assortment of clothing and accessories. The owner, Richard, is wonderful at putting together complete outfits within any sort of budget. The music and ambiance of the shop is worth a visit.
I have known many children as well as young adults who have attended this school of performing arts and have had an outstanding experience. The performances are amazing! Students truly get a very professional exposure to acting, singing, dancing, and stage presence. The school exists within an aging building that leaves much to desire, but that's show biz!
Mr. Proffetty, his son, and their staff are wonderful workers. Very focused, helpful, and leave the site as clean as they found it. The trucks they have are always updated and shiny, the men are patient, cooperative, and talented.
I have used Irvings for everything from ladders to wallpaper over the past several years. Their inventory is always tops and their helpfulness is well appreciated. The business has been there for many many years. With Lowe's and Home Depot in every city and town these days, it is nice to see and shop in a local dependable hardware store.
My new Jetta is a few months old and I love it. The female salesperson that I had was impressively factual, friendly, with no pressures whatsoever. Unfortunately, when I brought the car in for its first oil change, etc., my impressiveness left me. I was clearly overcharged and it wasn't easy having them make the adjustment.
I recently compared prices for having glass inserts put into my kitchen cabinet doors. College Town was close to three times the amount for the same glass as many other similar glass shops. We are very happy that we didn't go with them since we were able to put that extra money somewhere else in the kitchen.
This shop is very nearby where I work so often I will call to order something for a co-worker or an upcoming event. They are very accommodating and reasonably priced. You know you are at the right place when there is an old iron bed on the front lawn of Hannant's which is often decorated as the "flower bed."

Yay! Windows XP is a multi-user system! Now finally Daddy can use the computer in peace, because Junior will use the computer logged on as a regular user, one who does not have the ability to erase the hard disk!
Think again. Most games and educational software titles need to be run with Administrative privileges. Why? Because most developers are seemingly lazy and stupid, they never even considered following Microsoft's guidelines with a view to making their programs run on anything other than the current Microsoft Operating System.
What did NTDLR, NTDETECT.COM and BOOT.INI do, Daddy? I THREW THEM IN THE BIN! AHAH!
Fortunately, seppuku is no longer the only answer, since you had the foresight to create a handy-dandy boot disk beforehand! The steps are as follows:
- Format a floppy disk. Windows XP/2000 will automatically write its boot sector to the disk.
- Copy the following three files from your system partition to the root directory of the disk: NTLDR, NTDETECT.COM and BOOT.INI.
- Boot up from your floppy to test that it works.
The advanced student may place a DOS boot sector on the root of the drive in a file (let's call it DOSBOOT) and add the following line to the BOOT.INI file:
Now, fill the rest of the disk with COMMAND.COM, EDIT.COM, NTFSDOS and any other utilities you might find useful. If you trust the current release of the NTFS drivers for linux then you could even save a LILO boot record to the disk, along with a minimal kernel and some decent disk/editing utilities; thus creating the ultimate emergency repair disk!

Brilliantly bonkers comedy Mindhorn, starring Simon Farnaby and Julian Barratt, is released in UK cinemas today (5 May) and earlier this week, the writer-actors were knocking about in London in order to promote the film.
When IBTimes UK sat down with the pair, it's fair to say the funnymen were putting their comedic chops to good use, particularly when we asked whether they knew they wanted stars Simon Callow and Kenneth Branagh to make cameo appearances in the movie...
"Kenneth Branagh we had written in, almost from day one. He was almost the first thing we wrote down," Farnaby teased. "We just wrote Kenneth Branagh on a piece of paper and then tried to build the film around that."
So, what was the film they managed to ''build around'' Mr Branagh? Well, Mindhorn centres on washed-up actor Richard Thorncroft (played by Barratt), who once found fame playing small-screen detective Bruce P Mindhorn but much to his dismay, he never quite made it to the big time.
Luckily for Richard, he gets another shot at the spotlight, when he – or, more accurately, the character he used to play – inadvertently becomes involved in an actual murder investigation on the Isle of Man.
"The tax breaks..." Farnaby laughed when he began to explain why they chose the location. "No, that is only 50% true," he continued. "We wanted an island. We originally thought of Jersey but it's a bit too close to Bergerac and we didn't want people to think it's a parody of Bergerac, because it's not. It's many different things.
"But the Isle of Man was sort of perfect and the look of it, you've got these white washed walls and the three-legged insignia and the Laxey Wheel. It's a bit stuck in the past; a bit like Julian's character."
"It's quite 1980s," Barratt interjected. "We wanted it to be on an island that hadn't had a TV show on it like Jersey had. Like they were trying to make their own version of Bergerac and this is what it'd be."
