Jetstream is a Python Lowracer I am constructing with the remnants of Jetrike MkI.
20 Jan 2007
- I finished cutting out all the items in the Cut list.
- I finished the BB Mount, which included hollowing out the sleeve sides, machining, taping and welding on the binder and fabricating the front derailleur post and welding that on.
- Cut, sectioned, bent and welded the Fender, which is ready to be attached to the drive-train.
13 Jan 2007
- Sourced all the materials from our local steel supplier Shoe Steel. They sell steel by the meter, so you can just buy what you need.
- I spent most of Saturday afternoon just tidying out the shed to get it ready for this project, then I started by cutting down the 40 x 40 profile, which you can read about in the section on constructing the Drive Train.
- On Sunday I managed finish my 40 x 10 profile and so only spend half a day actually cutting metal and welding bits together. I ended up only getting a bit of the Drive Train and a bit of the BB Mount done.

All of us know about the necessity of the day – why we should be careful, why we should wear masks while outdoors. But still many hesitate to wear that mask, unless absolutely necessary.
Why? Some find that they cannot breathe inside their mask, some are skeptical about their mask fabric, some feel claustrophobic inside the thick layers of the mask. Then some others have preconceived notions of the effectiveness of any kind of protection and may feel an inevitability about the whole thing.
There is no solution to the last dilemma, you cannot convince some people beyond a point (those who use masks only as a means of getting into a shop, or train) But for all others, there are solutions.
There is no doubt that fabric masks are saving us. They are also saving the earth from being a gigantic plastic garbage dump of disposable masks.
Disposable Surgical masks can only be used once and needs to be discarded many times over (6 hours use maximum) the same day.
Fabric masks trumps over disposables here. The fabric masks can be washed and used. But the downside is that the surgical masks are more effective. The ones with filters are even better. Anyways, here is a tutorial to make a fabric mask with as many layers as you want.
In this article I will cover:
Make a fitted mask with full coverage
You have to take two pieces of 12 inch wide and 6 inch long fabric for making this mask. Fold them both by the half so that you have 4 layers of 6 inch square in front of you with the fold on the rightside.
Mark the pattern as given in the picture below.
The two fabric pieces will look like this, when open.
Keep the fabrics folded and then Sew the dart closed. Do this for both the pieces.
Keep the two pieces rightsides together. Sew along the outer edge (do not sew the side edges closed)
Turn the fabric inside out.
Turn the short edges to the inside twice and sew – leave enough space to insert the elastic through.
Insert elastic through the casing. Use 2 pieces of 8 1/2 inch elastic piece of width 1/4 inch for a woman. For a man or a big faced person you can use 9 1/2 inch piece elastic.
Sew the elastic edges together with hand sewing needle and thread. After sewing adjust this overlapping sewn area to inside the casing so that it is hidden from sight.
Do for both the sides. There it is, your fabric mask with enough coverage.
Make a contoured Mask
To make this mask you need to cut out 4 fabric pieces -2 from the outer fabric and 2 from the lining.
Keep the two outer fabric pieces rightsides together and join them along the curved edge . Do the same for the lining fabric as well.
You get two fabric pieces like this.
Clip the seam allowances at regular intervals along the curved seam so that it turns smoothly. Press the seam as well.
Keep outer mask piece infront of you, rightside up.
Take 4 3/4 inch long elastic pieces – 2 numbers. Keep it along the side edges and stitch in place with hand sewing needle and thread, as in the picture below- ensure that the elastic is not twisting. (You can use ties instead of elastic)
On top of this, keep the lining mask piece, right side down.
Sew all along the outer edges (the elastic pieces are enclosed inside, remember?); leave 2 inch space unstitched, anywhere along the edge. Red line in the picture below is the stitching line.
Bring the right side of the mask out through the unstitched portion.
Top stitch along the outer edge, in the process sewing the unstitched portion closed.
How to make a flat Fabric Mask
For making a flat mask you need to use a fabric with a slight stretch like a knit fabric or a bias cut fabric with stretch and flexibility.
Cut out the fabric pieces – you need the center mask fabric, two strips to bind the sides and then the strap. Cut the long strap from fabric on the bias. Here is a tutorial on making bias strips and also for binding with bias strips.
Use simple back stitches to hand sew if you do not have a sewing machine.
Bind the side edges.
Fold and stitch the short edges of the long bias strip 1/4 inch to the inside.
Now this long strip is used to bind the mask fabric.The strip is to be arranged as in the picture below.
With the long bias strip, start binding the top and bottom edge, with the straps measuring 5 1/2 inches on either side.
Finish stitching the strap on either side.
Join the short edges together at one side – overlap the edges and stitch in place. Isn’t it easy enough ?
If you are a novice at sewing and cannot be bothered about binding and stuff, just add extra allowances at the sides and top and bottom edges as you cut and turn under the edges and stitch. Then use thin elastic as straps on either sides. The steps are as follows.
Cut out 2 fabric pieces and 2 pieces of elastic of width 1/8 inch, length 6 1/4 inch.
Keep one of the fabric pieces right side up in front of you.
Keep the elastic pieces on either sides of the fabric as in the picture below. Baste stitch in place – use a hand sewing needle and thread to stitch it there.
Keep the other piece of fabric, right side down on top of this, as in the picture below. Ensure that the elastic is sandwiched inside, not peeking out.
Now sew the whole thing shut along the edge (with 1/4 inch seam allowance) except for a 2 inch gap. The red line in the picture below is the stitching line. Use hand stitches (stem stitch or back stitch)
Turn the whole thing out through the gap you have left unstitched.
Fold the edges at the unstitched portion to the inside. Top stitch the whole edge, in the process closing the gap shut.
You can use a hand stitch like ladder stitch to sew the hole shut.
Alternatively, you can use your surgical mask as a pattern.
No Sew Mask
If you would rather not sew at all, or you do not have any elastic as strap, here is an easy way to convert a sock into a fast and easy mask. I saw it as a video forward and it is a very clever hack.
Cut out a rectangular piece from your sock – from the leg portion or the feet portion.
Cut up from the folded edges as in the picture below – this cut portion will serve as the facemask straps.
Use as a mask – you can insert another cotton fabric piece or tissue inside the fold of the socks mask to make it foolproof.
Best Fabrics suitable for making masks
You may use 100% cotton fabric (tightly woven with thread count more than 180) Use two or more layers of fabric for more effectiveness. I think a good quality Nylon is a tightly woven fabric that wouldn’t let anything pass through its holes. But there is the problem of breathability. Some say that a combination of cotton and synthetic fabrics in layers helps to keep off the germs.
Here are some pointers on the fabric and other materials for making one.
The number one criterion for choosing the best fabric for making your own masks is that it will filter out small microorganisms both to the outside and to the inside. But compromising breathability is also dangerous as after some time people will have enough of trying to breathe through several layers of unbreathable fabrics and may abandon wearing the mask altogether.
The best bet is to use a tightly woven premium cotton (more than 180 thread count) and that too more than 2 layers. Cotton twill is such a tightly woven soft high quality fabric.
You can use thin 100% cotton layers (cotton jersey) with Microfiber fabric or flannel inside. If you are using a cotton-polyester blend you need at least 3 layers for it to be effective but poly-cotton fabrics are not as breathable as cotton. If you can buy fabric with antimicrobial properties that is best.
This article says that using cotton and silk as layers or cotton and chiffon works better in filtering out droplets.
Some of the N95 masks on the market have upto 6 layers, likewise you can add layers of fabric to your mask to increase its protection.
For the layer that touches your skin, you can choose a fabric with moisture-wicking (take water away) properties like bamboo fabric, silk. Cotton, though it absorbs moisture, can retain moisture and this may cause discomfort but this is relevant only if you already have cold, cough, etc and the mask will get wet. Synthetic fabrics like nylon and polyester have moisture wicking but you may question their breathablity.
Whatever you use, prewash the fabric before making masks.
Decorations on your mask ?
For my husband’s birthday this week I managed to buy a shirt for him secretly, sanitize it, hide it and then when I presented it to him, he tells me “But this is not what I want”. Well, talk about ungrateful. Then he showed me the photograph of a shirt with a matching mask in an online shop. It drew a laugh from me and though it was said as a joke, I understood his viewpoint. We have to wear masks, so might as well wear it with some semblance of style, other than the same old black ones.
What I would do is make it in a neutral colored checkered fabric. Checkered patterns are always classy. Learn the names of different check patterns here.
I am going by the many many checkered shirts he already owns. But it may be too matchy-matchy with similar shirts.
A denim one is always in demand.
You can even use embroidered jeans scraps to make a mask. Or maybe not.
Most kids need to be insisted on wearing masks. Appealing fabric patterns can make masks more enticing to them.
Or You can make it interesting by embroidering funny faces.
I have seen masks with some really weird looks. If you are into bling you can try some simple bead work along the edge as in this post.
And end up with a mask like this.
Do not feel offended if this is not your cup of tea, I mean mask. Live and let other people wear the mask they like.
Filters for the masks
Usually, people who make masks add filter inside the mask through a pocket opening accessible from the inside of the mask. This filter is disposable and is removed before washing. For the inside layer /filter, polypropylene (the kind of material used to make reusable grocery bags), and Nonwoven interfacing are used.
It is an extra protecting layer but the problem is that you may feel constricted inside, some of the filters used. It is not the most comfortable thing to wear for a long time. But if you are going out for a short detour, then by all means wear the mask with a filter in between its layers.
Fastening – Ties / elastic bands.
Sewing elastic ear bands are convenient. But they prove to be a disaster after a few washes. The elastic will stretch out of size soon enough. Or your ears will end up like that of the elf. You can instead use fabric ties, bias tape or twill tape, or even ribbons. If you are using elastic you can buy rope elastic or 1/8 inch or 1/4 inch elastic.
Though homemade masks are not enough as protection for health care workers working in intensive care units and those who are directly in touch with patients, the DIY Fabric Mask has proven itself again and again as a piece of equipment for the common man’s fight against the common enemy (along with all other precautions). The right kind of mask serves a community rather than an individual.
Masks help in one very important way – it makes us touch our nose and mouth less frequently. Actually, touching eyes, nose and mouth with contaminated hands is the most dangerous thing in spreading the germs.
To use the masks properly, wash hands before donning the mask and after removing the mask. Ensure that the mask is covering your nose and mouth effectively. And remove the mask from the behind, to avoid touching nose or mouth.
Wash the fabric masks frequently in the washing machine keeping them inside a laundry bag (to avoid damaging the elastic) or Handwash the fabric masks, with detergent and disinfectant.
If you do not have a sewing machine and can only hand sew here is tutorial to hand sew a mask easily and that too with a small pouch to keep them neat inside a bag.

SANDUSKY, Ohio - The Coast Guard and Erie County Sheriff have suspended the search Sunday night for two kayakers missing in Lake Erie.
Jonathan Francis, 30, and 12-year-old daughter Viola Francis left from Crystal Rock late Saturday afternoon.
The man's girlfriend reported to authorities Sunday that they have not returned.
The Erie County Sheriff said the empty kayaks have been located at the North Shore of Sandusky, in Ottawa County, but the search continues for the man and his daughter.
"His girlfriend actually had no idea that he was even going out," said Erie County Chief Deputy Jared Oliver, "they just purchased the kayaks recently. They decided to take them out for a try and I don't think they really had any intentions of going out in the open water ... but unfortunately they did."
Oliver told NewsChannel5 the Erie County Sheriff's Office launched its own missing persons investigation as the Coast Guard continued their search Saturday.
On the coast, local fire departments were also assisting in a search by foot. When their search ended, neighbors picked-up the pursuit, walking the shores' rocks with binoculars in hand.
Keith Kreager, President of the Crystal Rock Land Owners Association told NewsChannel5, "We've really been all together. I mean, everybody's been all together. We're all out here watching, hoping, waiting just to see what's going on."
Officials said the kayakers were not wearing life jackets when they departed.
Neighbors, showing support, put a small lighthouse on the small wooden platform where police say Jonathan and his daughter launched into the water.
"We just wanted to put a lighthouse up as a beacon of hope and a beacon of light for Jonathan and Viola to find their way home," said Jackie Griffin holding back tears. Her husband said, "I just hope that they're in a place and I hope they're safe that they just cant get a hold of us."
Griffin described Francis as having a close relationship and bond with his teenage daughter.
Timothy Snyder, soon to be Viola Francis' step-father, told NewsChannel5, "I'm just kind of in a state of shock. This is ain't something I'd ever thought I'd been dealing with. I kind of really, really wish they would've been wearing life jackets, I know that," said Snyder before bowing his head.
Viola's uncle described the young teen to be artistic and close with her younger siblings.
Coast Guard officials have not announced any plans to continue the water and air search Monday.
If you have any information, please call the Erie County Sheriff at (419) 625-7951.

Dreaming of biting into a garden-fresh cucumber sandwich this summer?
Better order your seeds now.
A poor growing season last year and increased orders from Europe could make it difficult for home gardeners to get seeds for the most popular cucumber variety and some vegetables this spring.
Farmers, who usually grow different varieties than home gardeners, aren't likely to be affected.
Seeds for what's known as open-pollinated cucumbers seem to be most scarce, but carrots, snap peas and onions also could be in short supply.
"I suspect there will be some seeds you just won't be able to buy if you wait too long on it," said Bill Hart, the wholesale manager in charge of seed purchasing at Chas. C. Hart Seed Company in Wethersfield, Conn. "The sugar snap peas we're not able to get at all, and other companies that have it will sell out pretty quickly."
The problem is primarily due to soggy weather last year that resulted in a disappointing seed crop. European seed growers also had a bad year, leading to a big increase in orders for American seeds.
Demand for seeds in the U.S. soared last year, as the poor economy and worries about chemical use and bacteria contamination prompted many people to establish gardens. Homegrown food seemed safer and more affordable. But some wonder if the wet weather that ruined gardens in many areas last summer will discourage first-time gardeners from planting again.
"A lot of people are getting into it, but it was a disastrous year for gardens last year because it was so cold and wet," said wholesale seed distributor Mel Brekke, who owns Brekke's Town and Country near Ames, Iowa.
Kathy Gocke of Bondurant, Iowa, said she orders seeds early for herself and her county's master gardener's program and advises others to do the same.
"If you do it before the first of January, they have a pretty good stock," Gocke said.
Burpee Seeds in Warminster, Pa., bills itself as the largest provider of home garden seeds, and Chief Executive Officer George Ball said the company's huge reserves mean it will have plenty of seeds. But Ball said he understands why others might have limited supplies after a big spike in demand in the past two years.
"It was unlike anything I've seen in the past 30 years," he said.
Barbara Melera, owner of D. Landreth Seeds of New Freedom, Pa., expects carrot seeds to be especially hard to find because of big orders from Europe, which had a poor crop last year. Also, fewer farmers are opting to grow seeds, she said. Many now have switched to growing corn for the biofuels industry.
"In this country, farmers who grow things for seed are becoming an endangered species," Melera said. "The farms producing things for seeds is reduced significantly, and in the past two to three years they can get more money for growing corn for ethanol plants than carrots for seeds."
Jennifer Nothwehr, seed coordinator for the Shenandoah, Iowa-based Earl May seed and nursery business, said she hasn't run into shortages, but her company typically orders its seeds from wholesalers a year in advance. They received and packaged the seeds they'll sell this year last fall, and because they set prices last spring, any shortage won't affect them.
Nothwehr also said that while popular varieties, like one known as the straight eight cucumber, may be hard to find, others are available.
"One of the most popular carrots we can't get, but we have four other varieties we can get if a customer wants to try something different," she said.
Hart said his family business has a small retail operation, and he's noticed people coming in earlier than usual this year, possibly because of worries over a shortage of seeds.
"I don't know if they're hoping for spring or just hoping to get going," he said.

Jonathan Van Ness Revealed He Is HIV-Positive
“Queer Eye” star, Jonathan Van Ness has made a very bold move. For the first time in his new book, “Over The Top,” he reveals that he is living with HIV and hopes to break the stigma surrounding it by speaking out.
The 32-year-old sat down with The New York Times for an interview published Saturday, ahead of the release of his memoir. He told the outlet that he tested positive at the age of 25, after fainting from flu-like symptoms while doing a client’s hair. “It’s hard for me to be as open as I want to be when there are certain things I haven’t shared publicly,” Van Ness said in the interview, adding, “These are issues that need to be talked about.” He recalled in his book, “That day was just as devastating as you would think it would be.”
Despite having those feelings, he says he has a goal to dispel some of the myths about being HIV-positive.
“When Queer Eye came out, it was really difficult because I was like, ‘Do I want to talk about my status?,” he explains. “And then I was like, ‘The Trump administration has done everything they can do to have the stigmatization of the L.G.B.T. community thrive around me.”
In addition to this, Van Ness also reveals in the book that he was molested as a child by an older boy from his church and explains how he dealt with that trauma.
Since speaking out, the actor said he feels even more relived. He wrote in an Instagram post,
“Having the opportunity to write my book and share my story with you is the most important opportunity I’ve ever had. The first article about the book came out today from the @nytimes & I’m relieved I can speak fully about the things that shape my experience in life. The book speaks to some extremely difficult times but it’s also filled with my humor, joy and voice & I can’t wait to share it with you fully. Thanks so much for your support so far, it means the world. Article link in bio 🏳🌈 📸 Isak Tiner words by Alex Hawgood.”

Karchy (Brad Renfro) is a boy in school who has moved from Hungary to America in the 1960's. He is struggling in school and trying to adjust to America's culture. He then hears about a radio DJ Billy Magic (Kevin Bacon) who holds a contest for a Student Hall of Fame every week. When Karchy finally wins after several weeks, he spends more time with Billy Magic...a man with money, girls, and glam. Karchy thinks that by spending time with Magic, he can become "cool". He then starts telling lies, to make himself seem greater than he really is. But when his lies begin hurting the people he cares about, he realizes that it isn't worth telling lies if it affects your friends. Afterwards, he learns to accept himself for the person he is, and gives up lying. And as for Billy Magic, it turns out that he pays his price for all the lies that he has told as well.... Written by
Yes, the movie deals tangentially with the payola scandals of the 50's (truly a big problem in the entertainment industry), but only as one of the many lies hinted at in the title.
The two main characters (Renfro and Bacon) do *nothing* but lie. They are balanced by the purity of the other characters (Flockhart and Schell).
Schell's character was a little underwhelming and the work by Renfro was, at times, uneven, but both were generally excellent. My only other quibble was with the settings of the film. As a Clevelander (where the story takes place and the film was shot), it's easy to understand the where the scenes took place and how the story was built around them, but I'm not sure that an "outsider" would understand the implications to the story of those different locations (the neighborhoods, the market, etc.).
The real find is Calista Flockhart. She gives a wonderfully nuanced performance, sweeter and deeper than anything you'll see on Ally McBeal. Interestingly, Flockhart spent time working on stage at the Cleveland Playhouse, so was well-suited for the role in a way.
Joe Eszterhas is not exactly known for his subtlety, but this movie is a small triumph for him and portends better things from his pen in the future.

The City of London. Vol IV: A Club No More is the fourth and final volume of David Kynaston's epic history of the square mile in the modern era. This lively and informative book takes the story from the post-war era, when the City was hemmed in by bombsites and austere Chancellors, through to very recent developments, such as the "Big-Bang" deregulation of 1986. This is as much a social history as a financial study, with interesting discussions of the changing class and complexion of the City, and with fascinating details on the early computerisation of the big companies. As with earlier volumes Kynaston's style is that of an anecdotal storyteller. Colourful characters, dramatic boardroom struggles and heated exchanges between politicians and bankers dominate the pages.
This was the first comprehensive study of the City of London to be published. The study examines the economic structure of the city and considers the main influences likely to affect the development of the City, including the pattern of demand, technological change, population movements, supply of labour and land values. Particular attention is paid to the City's international role. Specific chapters are devoted to Banking & Finance, Insurance, Trade, Commerce and the Port, and the Manufacturing Industry. The book is supported with a wealth of statistical material based on original research and contains 116 tables and 28 diagrams.
The globalisation of the present day world economy means that more and more people are experiencing different cultures through their work. Focusing on the real experiences of workers in Japanese transnational finance companies, this book not only throws light on this specific case, but at the same time raises timely questions and insights into the newly-emerging multicultural work experience worldwide. Japanese Bankers in the City of London reflects on contemporary discussions in sociology, anthropology and cultural studies, of individual global movement and cultural interaction.
This is the first ever comprehensive history, guide and companion to the Guildhall, City of London.After the Romans deserted Londinium, where and when does Londons history restart? The answer lies within the highly visible, but rarely seen, ceremonial centre of the City of London: Guildhall.This fascinating complex of government buildings is central to Londons development, from Saxon times to the 21st century. It is the scene of royal banquets and historic trials, home to one of Londons finest art galleries and archive to the nations most comprehensive library of London books.Roman Londons only amphitheatre lies beneath, visible today and publicly accessible for the first time in seventeen hundred years. The City of London Police Museum relocated in 2016 to a larger, newly designed, accessible space within Guildhall Library.A history of Guildhall was last published in the 1920s. It was heavily bombed in 1940 and this will be the first book to record Guildhalls remarkable architectural and cultural resurrection since the end of the war. Photographs and images previously unpublished will be included and for the first time this book will also feature a comprehensive guide to Guildhalls many publicly accessible areas.Only one British building hosts banquets for British monarchs and visiting heads of state: Guildhall. Only one London building has a continuous story since Roman London: Guildhall. Only one building has governed the City and still directs its future: Guildhall. This illustrated history and companion to one of Londons most important and oldest buildings will prove indispensible to all interested in Londons history.

Well, quilting progress came to a halt when I realized that I cut the backing and batting too short. I got mad then stopped working on it. Typical.
I pulled it back out this weekend and analyzed the situation and it's not SO bad. I know I did a lot of things wrong with this quilt, so I am slowly getting over every little thing because the colors are so pretty.
(I already know what is wrong with this picture. I made a conscious decision to NOT fix the batting and backing because I was too lazy. We will see what happens. Might be bad news.)
(Gob enjoying my quilt sandwich!)
(Excuse the floors! Doing a little basting..)
(Quilted the center, rail fence, portion of the quilt using a cross hatch that is about 3in x 3in)
I am not in an outrageous need to finish the rest of the quilting because I cannot find a binding fabric that I like. I searched through my stash and then stared at the fabric stacks at Joann's for about an hour on Sunday.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton Saturday asked Bangladesh to exploit its strategic geo-location and said that its location between India and China, the two aggressively developing economies, gave it tremendous opportunity for development.
China is surely the most developed developing country (and) India also is rapidly progressing ... you are strategically situated between China and India, said Clinton during the second day of her two-day visit to the Dhaka, PTI reported.
She asked its political parties to stop warring and to resolve its differences through dialogues.
The country is going through a political turmoil as tension mounted between the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's ruling party over the disappearance of political activists and killing of a labor activist. The protests by the opposition had turned violent and killed at least five persons, leading to series of strikes and shut-downs in April.
Clinton expressed concern over the alleged human right abuses in the country and asked the government to have independent investigation to the issue.
It would send the wrong signal to foreign investors and buyers if the murder of labor-rights activists like Aminul Islam is not properly investigated, Clinton said, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
However, Clinton praised the progress the country was making and said that country had handled the bilateral issues with India and maritime issues with Myanmar smartly.
She suggested that Bangladesh should explore the economic opportunities in Myanmar.
Calling for further cooperation between the US and Bangladesh, she said that the US would provide $300 million over the next four years to Bangladesh to help it deal with the effects of cyclones and floods caused by climate change.
Clinton publicly backed microcredit pioneer Mohammed Yunus, who was removed last year as head of the Grameen Bank. Yunus had won Nobel Peace Prize for setting up the Grameen Bank which pioneered the microcredit facility to poor and needy women in villages.
She urged the government not to undermine the importance of the bank. We do not want to see any action taken that would in any way undermine or interfere in the operations of the Grameen Bank or its unique organizational structure where the poor women themselves are the owners, Clinton said, according to a BBC report.

Tokyo, March 25 (SocialNews.XYZ) Japan's nuclear regulatory body has decided to ban the transportation of nuclear fuel to the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear plant in Niigata prefecture owing to the plant's "severe security breaches".
Following its probe, the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) decided at its meeting to ban Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. (TEPCO) from transporting to the plant or loading nuclear fuel into its reactors, as the plant's intruder detection and backup systems were found to be defective, reports Xinhua news agency.
"We have yet to thoroughly confirm whether measures to protect nuclear material at Kashiwazaki-Kariwa are sufficient. If we ban the transport of nuclear fuel, the protection of such material will be enhanced," NRA Chairman Toyoshi Fuketa told the meeting on Wednesday.
NRA commissioners at the meeting were in agreement that legally stipulated corrective measures should be enforced on the operator of the seven-reactor plant on the Sea of Japan coast.
The regulators also discussed other measures to punish TEPCO, having, for the first time, provisionally rated the plant's security breaches to be at the worst level in terms of safety and severity, such as revoking TEPCO's license to operate the complex or ordering the halt of plant operations for up to a year.
Specific security breaches included the plant being "vulnerable to unauthorised entry at 15 locations since March last year because of defective intruder detection systems and backups", the NRA said earlier this month.
Other breaches at the plant, along with safety measures not being completed for the No. 7 reactor at the plant, include an employee last year using a colleague's ID pass to enter the central control room without authorisation.
The NRA said the punitive measures will be kept in place until TEPCO responds appropriately to the situation.
"The punitive measure will remain in effect until TEPCO's response to the incident is in a situation where self-sustained improvement is expected," the NRA said.

TOKYO -- Japan's Government Pension Investment Fund is starting to actively invest in domestic real estate funds in a bid to boost its returns.
On Tuesday, the GPIF chose Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking to manage its holdings in that asset class. The pension giant will adopt a "fund of funds" strategy -- managing funds that invest in other funds -- for the first time.
The GPIF has already decided to diversify its portfolio away from stocks and bonds. The entity will invest up to 5% of its 156 trillion yen ($1.37 trillion) holdings in alternative assets such as infrastructure projects, private equity and real estate. The fund has been looking for outside asset managers specializing in those areas since April. Real estate under Mitsubishi UFJ Trust, a member of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, will be the first out the gate.
Unlike equity and bond markets, alternative markets are still in the process of being established, and trading is restricted. But alternative assets often bring comparatively higher returns than the traditional instruments.


Ask a QuestionHere are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community or ask a new question.
I am looking for the year of manufacture. Any information available would be wonderful. I picked it up and the woman's grandmother was the owner. I just want to know more about it and maybe a value.
Wow! This is a beautiful machine! Most of these old machines have a serial number on them. It would be on an engraved plate somewhere on the backside or underside. Most of these companies have a website with the information. If you look up the serial number you should be able to discover the year of manufacture, the number, and also maybe get an idea of the value. For example: I bought a similar machine from someone near me. It had belonged to the lady's grandmother also.
I just found out that you have the first Domestic Treadle Sewing machine made by this company. They manufactured this model in 1863 to 1870. When the machine first sold it cost $60. This was a very expensive machine at this time. The machine has the following features on it:
no clutch release knob
bobbin winder on end of machine under hand wheel
stitch length control knob behind pillar
no access plate on the front or rear of the machine
back clamping feet
SN located on front slide plate
It is a shame how low people are selling these machines for. One person just sold the machine without the cabinet for $19 and another was listed for $125.
If you'd like a bit more history on this machine and the company I would read the article by Alex. He is considered one of the foremost leaders in vintage and antique machines. www.sewalot.com/
They vary based on condition. These are about 100 years old. The one i saw on eBay was asking $125
Look it over for numbers and a name you need the manufacturer.Then go on e-bay too find the worth.

Previous year comparison Profit and Loss Report would be a great asset
To track performance it's critical to be able to have a benchmark figure other than annual budgets. It's good to compare to previous year's months to current year actuals after a fiscal period is closed (final figures).
I hope Kashflow can create this new report.
I wonder if everyone agrees?

Metro North Communications Inc. has a deal to acquire WMBE-AM Chilton WI. But just as the station won’t be staying with its current licensee – and in fact, it’s already being rented to a third party – it also won’t be staying in Chilton. It’s headed to the town of New Holstein. The buyer is headed by Mark Heller.
The seller is Maszka-Pacer Radio Inc., owned in part by Douglas Maszka. Also signing off on the deal is Steven A. Roy, Personal Representative for the Estate of Lyle Evans.
The price is $60K – Heller has placed the entire amount into an escrow account, and it will be used to instantly settle the sale at closing without resort to any additional financing.
Mountain Dog Media is the entity renting the station for the time being. According to Heller, it’s playing a satellite-delivered Country format at the moment. Mountain Dog was to buy the station for $175K, but its owner – one Randy Hopper, a newsmaker for a number of reasons having nothing to do with radio – is said by Heller to have walked away from the deal.
Heller says he will do something with the station that no one has yet done – make it work. WMBE brings a limited arsenal to bear on that task – it’s a 250 W daytimer on 1530 kHz, a fact that will remain unchanged at its new New Holstein digs. However, one of Heller’s 2012 resolutions will be to seek FCC permission for an upgrade.
Its big sister will be Heller’s other station, WGBW-AM Denmark WI (it just moved there from Two Rivers). It hits Green Bay with 10 kW during the day off 1590 kHz.


In this study, the magnetotransport properties of the Ni48.95Mn37.74Sn13.32B3 ribbons prepared by melt-spinning technique were investigated in details. The martensitic-austenite phase transition was obtained between 280 K and 285 K which are near the room temperature. From rho-H measurements, it was found that an anomalous Hall effect at 281, 283 and 285 K between M-s (martensite start temperature) and M-f (martensite finish temperature) temperatures is domianant mechanism. It was seen that a voltage variation of 5 mu V (between 0 and 10 kOe) at a constant current of 1 mA is one of the best values found for the Heusler alloys. The rho-H results revealed that the ribbons showed the magnetic field-induced one-way shape memory effect (SME). High voltage change caused by magnetoresistance was reached at a constant current of 100 mA at 298 K. The results suggest that the Ni-Mn-Sn-B ribbon is a potential candidate to prepare a magnetic field sensor operating at the room temperature.

Calls have been made for another secondary school in East Cork to cater for growing demand in the region and ensure children are not put on waiting lists for school places.
Cork Educate Together held an information meeting in Midleton on Wednesday evening to discuss the need for an additional secondary school in the area.
The group is hopeful of establishing an East Cork Educate Together Secondary School in the future.
“This is a campaign for what we think is a much needed additional secondary school for East Cork - not necessarily just for the ethos but for forward planning in a growing area in Cork county,” said Rhodri Mears, principal of Midleton Educate Together National School.
“As a national school, we’re going into our 11th year with 550 pupils and we’re still growing.
“On the back of that, and the fact that children are being left on waiting lists for current secondary schools in the region, there is a definite need for another secondary school in the area,” he added.
“There are plans for more housing in East Cork and Most primary schools in the region have had extensions, new builds or are awaiting them and secondary schools in the area are already showing signs of being full.
“New housing planned for the region will see the population increase so future planning for school places is vital.
“The current facilities do not appear to be meeting the demand that is already there, and with that demand expected to grow in the future, we’re hoping the Department and Government can forward plan, rather than trying to address the issues when they’re at a crisis point in future.” Niamh Wylde, chairperson of the board of Midleton ETNS, said the group has been working since early this year towards establishing the East Cork Educate Together Secondary School.
They plan to launch a fundraiser to compile a report which highlights the need and desire for another secondary school in the area.
While they are hopeful of becoming patrons of such a school, Ms Wylde said that the ET group understand and appreciate the need for the patronage process and will compete alongside other possible patrons.
“The demographic in East Cork has changed - Carrigtouhill and Midleton are the fastest growing towns in Munster, possibly Ireland.
“That’s reflected in the numbers here in our school and others in the region,” she added.
“It really highlights the need for an additional secondary school.”

Saif Ali Khan’s new Amazon Prime series, Tandav, has been receiving backlash from audiences. Allegedly, the series contain some anti-Hindu elements that hurt Hindu’s religious sentiments.
Several BJP leaders and MLAs like Ram Kadam have filed a police complaint and are demanding to ban the show.
Saif Ali Khan, who plays the lead role in the Ali Abbas Zafar directed series is currently busy moving apartments. A set of policemen have been spotted guarding his old and new apartment buildings. Since Saif Ali Khan’s new house is reportedly quite close to his old one, the actor decided to continue the shifting irrespective of the threats.

Clouds frequently blanket the Mexico City urban landscape. Unfortunately, these clouds are usually a dirty brown, grey tint.
Mexico City is no new subject when it comes to pollution control advances. Since 1992, scientists have been working to combat the title of most polluted city dubbed by the United Nations in that year. Since then, vehicular rules have residents on a strict driving schedule where “residents have to keep their cars off the street one weekday each week, determined by the last numeral in their license plates.” Newer modeled vehicles, however, are allowed to drive any day of the week due to their more efficient nature.
If there is ever any doubt the physical link between pollution and health, in the 1990s Mexico City, “6 out 10 residents in the city were known to suffer from respiratory ailments.” Exposure to air pollutants and the effects on the respiratory tract may not need too much convincing, but scientists are beginning to link dementia and air pollutants.
Neuroscientists began to observe particularly erratic behavior in homeless dogs in Mexico City, specifically in their cognitive behavior. While it is obvious that tracking and monitoring homeless dogs proves to be difficult, tests on mouse subjects have shown tendencies of dementia once exposed to air pollutants and brain damage can be noted, as according to Science Magazine.
With almost 9 million inhabitants calculated in 2010, obstacles are going to arise in such a densely populated metropolitan area. But like with the "No Hoy Circula" program, where drivers are limited to only being able to drive 6 of 7 days within city limits, Mexico City has made other strives to reduce pollution.
Via Verde is an initiative started by residents within the city that use the vertical columns of highways to reduce air pollution. It should not be a surprise to know how a tree works. Many environmental factors can be seen by humans as ecosystem services, where natural occurrences benefit humans’ daily lives. Trees would be one of these services.
Tress and other plants take in the carbon dioxide that we breathe out, and in turn transform it into oxygen via photosynthesis. Not a new concept, but what generally goes unknown is that plants take in more than just the CO2 we breathe out, but pollutants as well. Ever heard of “go outside and get some fresh air?” That’s because of the higher levels of cleaner oxygen are located outside where plants can produce it. Of course, in megacities like Mexico City it’s a little different.
The project Via Verde in English means “green way,” and was already been set into motion. Already, towers of green can be seen under highways where vines wrap around columns that support roads. The columns are covered in a metal frame and cloth that allows the plants to grow up the column without damaging the structural integrity of it.
With more greenery in the city, the more the air can be filtered of harmful toxins. Even countries like India and China are looking to Mexico City to create a similar initiative in their most highly polluted cities like Delhi and Beijing.

I mentioned that several other recent interviewees (all children of Armenians from Turkey) also only know a few Armenian words, but they cannot speak the language of our ancestors (neither do I).
Honestly, I’ve been surprised to learn that every Armenian I’ve interviewed told me their parents all spoke fluent Turkish. I knew my grandfather spoke Turkish—he only learned and spoke Armenian when he came to the United States, after escaping the massacres that claimed his mother’s and sister’s lives. When my grandfather was a boy, Armenians were forbidden to speak their language in Turkey. In fact, my aunt explained that if an Armenian was caught speaking Armenian in Turkey, they risked having their tongue cut out.

I have found SD to be a far superior alternative to Anadrol, as it is not only at least equally effective for increasing muscle fullness (more so in many instances), but it does not carry with it the same risk of sub-q water retention. Pure, properly compounded SD (20-30 mg/day) results in a hard, dense, and dry appearance, which works synergistically with the other orals mentioned above to ensure you come in as full and conditioned as possible. However, as with all steroids, I suggest experimenting with it prior to the competition in order to gauge its effects on your own body, as a small percentage of individuals do not respond as well to this drug. Another option is Dimethazine. This oral is closely related to SD (it is 2 SD molecules attached by an azine bond) and provides visually identical effects at a slightly higher dosage (45 mg/day).
This subject would not be complete if we did not touch on the ability of AAS to incite fat loss. There is much speculation in this arena, as many of the drugs BB’rs utilize during prep were never clinically studied in human beings, leaving us with the sometimes job of discerning which drugs work best. While anecdotal evidence has served us well over the years, the presence of a clinical study offers further confirmation that we have been on the right rack (or not). Fortunately, two of our most commonly used pre-contest drugs have been proven capable of increasing the rate of fat loss. These are testosterone and trenbolone. Trenbolone in particular has consistently demonstrated impressive results, which is why I almost always recommend its inclusion as a core injectable. Some individuals choose shy away from tren due to its high side effect profile, but for those who can tolerate the drug, few, if any drugs will offer an equal number of benefits during contest prep.
There has also been talk of terminating the use of all injectables at 2 weeks out. Advocates of this method claim that it is necessary for achieving optimal condition. The logic used to sustain this assertion is that injectables, by way of intramuscular delivery, result in a minor degree of water retention via increased inflammation. It is true that even slightly invasive procedures, such as an injection, will produce an inflammatory effect, but the level of inflammation necessary to result in a visible response is unlikely to occur when using non-irritating, sterile steroid preparations, especially when delivered with a 25 g. syringe or smaller. If anyone is worried about this, one can simply discontinue all injections at 3-4 days out. By the time the comp rolls around, the inflammation will no longer be present.
Although I am usually not inclined to posit speculations on why a particular drug does or doesn't do something, in this case I will. Im guessing that the higher doses of Anadrol cause enough appetite suppression (at least anecdotally) to make eating rather difficult. It can also increase insulin resistance and glucose intolerance (5). This has the effect of making macronutrient absorption more inefficient, and could also be a factor in reducing gains when the dosage goes over 100mgs/day. Unfortunately, Anadrol also has a reasonably profound effect on your body's natural hormonal system, on par with most other oral steroids , but not as bad as most injectables, and its certainly not as harsh on your lipid profile as many anabolics are
When taken for more than 4-6 weeks, it can increase body mass and protein anabolism. However, buy testosterone cypionate uk for the body to build muscle one also has to eat a diet rich in calories. Most bodybuilders also take a combination of other hormones at the same time. Because testosterone is converted to estrogen in the fatty tissues, there is always the chance of developing gynecomastia and water retention. To prevent this, most bodybuilders add Arimidex or tamoxifen during the off cycle.
During testosterone injections, the natural body testosterone release is inhibited by feedback mechanism through inhibition of pituitary LH. At large doses, even spermatogenesis can be impaired. To allow for the hypothalamic-pituitary axis to recover, it is highly recommended that the drug be tapered off slowly over a period of a few weeks. Sudden discontinuation of the drug can lead to extreme fatigue clit tumblr , weight loss and susceptibility to fractures.

A guy from Japan posts on his Twitter account mind-blowing photos of coin stacking that defy gravity. Check it out
A massive sinkhole occurred on a two-lane road in southwest San Antonio, Texas. The pit was 3 to 6 meter deep (10-20 ft) full of sewer water, and stretched the entire width of the road which was formed because of a burst pipe. Two cars fell inside of the pit injuring one man and killing a reserve deputy Dora Linda (Solis) Nishihara.
Ben Hewins from London created a 2.3 meter tall advent calendar for his loving wife with one wrapped Christmas present behind each door. Actually, it is thanks to his wife that he got this idea. He said, “She is quite creative and is always making me cool things so I wanted to do something for her this year that was a bit quirky, creative and original. So, I came up with a giant advent calendar with actual presents behind every window."

A former money changer convicted of two charges of misappropriating about $4 million entrusted by two customers was sentenced to six years' jail yesterday.
Fazal Mohamed N.M.A.R Mohamed Ebrahim, 52, was also fined $10,000 for carrying on a moneychanging business from March 2011 without a valid licence.
But he is appealing against the conviction and sentence. Fazal was convicted last Thursday of dishonestly misappropriating $3.7 million given by sales director Ng Hwee Boon, 50, and $269,483 by Ms Ng's friend, Ms Angeline Ong Hsiao Wei, 41, an account manager, in 2011.
Despite losing his money- changing business after the death of his father, a partner in Bismi Cosmetics Centre, Fazal, who was a partner, continued with the trade at The Arcade in Collyer Quay.
Ms Ng, who made a total of 21 investments, had testified she went to Fazal's shop in July 2010 to inquire about the pound which she was keen to invest in. But she agreed to buy euros instead after she was promised a return of 2.8 per cent on the investment sum, payable at the end of two weeks. Two weeks later, she collected her initial invested sum in Singapore dollars as well as the promised 2.8 per cent of the invested amount.
Over time, she invested more and more money with Fazal, who issued her an invoice for each investment. Upon maturity, Ms Ng would either withdraw a part of the returns and re-invest the rest of the money or re-invest the entire sum. Ms Ng introduced Fazal to Ms Ong who invested $100,000 in September 2010 and injected another $353,000 the following month.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Jasmin Kaur said the nett losses suffered by Ms Ng and Ms Ong were $2.5 million and $123,000 respectively. Urging the court to pass consecutive sentences on the criminal breach of trust charges, she said Fazal intentionally deceived the victims, and the offences involved a high degree of pre-meditation and planning.

I am attempting to verify the linearity of the AD8302 evaluation board at 2.4GHz. I first tested the board as was specified in the datasheet: I used two RF sources, offset slightly in frequency (approximately 100 kHz). The output power of one source was verified to be approximately -30 dBm (using a spectrum analyzer) and was connected to port INPB. The output power of the second source, which was connected to INPA, was varied from approximately -10 dBm to -50 dBm (40 dB dynamic range). A digital multimeter was connected to the VMAG port and the voltage at each gain setting was recorded. This test was successful, and the linearity performance outlined in the data sheet (at 2200 MHz) was confirmed (including the predicted slope in V/dB and offset in V).
The application in which I am hoping to use the AD8302 is one in which I have a single RF source with two complimentary phase-locked outputs (the ADF4360 evaluation board, programmed to 2.4 GHz). I attempted to verify linearity again in the following manner: One output of the ADF4360 was fed to an attenuation block such that the output power was roughly -30 dBm, and this was connected to INPB. The other output was fed to a variable attenuator (which was confirmed to be linear by VNA measurements), the output of which was connected to INPA. VMAG was connected to a DMM. The attenuator was adjusted such that the power at INPA varied between -10 dBm and -50 dBm, and the output voltage was measured at specific points. In this case the plot of output voltage vs. gain did not meet linearity specifications; a cubic fit was required in order for the linearity specifications to be met.
Although the cubic fit does work, I really am looking for a linear response with error less than +/- 0.5 dB. Is it possible to achieve this with my setup?
Thank-you for your time,


The property owner was doing a controlled burn nearby when gasoline spilled, prompting the trailer to catch fire, said L.D. Peevyhouse, a fire inspector with the Hutchinson Fire Department.
At least 15 firefighters responded, and the unoccupied trailer was fully engulfed when they arrived, according to Hutchinson Fire Department Battalion Chief Rod Neufeld.
Firefighters let the salvage trailer burn, Peevyhouse said. No injuries were reported.

But mayor Mzwandile Masina believes his council is doing enough to root out the rot. He says the media is preoccupied with negative reporting, opting to ignore the strides his council is making in sanctioning those found to be involved in acts of malfeasance.
“We can tell you now that instances of fraud and corruption have been drastically reduced in Ekurhuleni. Where they are appearing, we are able to deal with them decisively, and people have been punished.
“It (corruption) is a serious issue, because we are running a R50billion (a year budget) municipality that employs almost 20000 employees,” he said this week.
“On instances where (corruption) is reported, we have an approach of acting immediately. The only difference with us is that we don’t do it in our friend’s style,” he says, in an apparent swipe at City of Joburg mayor Herman Mashaba.
“There are instances where people have been fired, suspended if they are suspects of corruption and maladministration. We are fighting corruption much more coherently and we are in charge of our internal controls.”
Turning to the media, Masina said: “The problem is that the media tends to side with the opposition - that’s a reality in South Africa. Many a time, many successes are not reported. The media is only interested in our municipality when there are negative allegations.”
He said the metro would not bow to media pressure and embark on a witch-hunt of officials while the allegations against them hadn’t been tested.
“Where there has been conclusive evidence, we come out (but) we are ignored because when they (the media) say they are chasing ANC corruption, it’s appealing and makes it to the headlines.
“But if you make a standard measure of our city, we are stable. We run the best city”
Masina took over from Mondli Gungubele after the August 2016 local elections, having moved from the Department of Trade and Industry where he was the deputy minister.
His ascension raised suspicions because he was among former president Jacob Zuma’s staunchest supporters.
Some saw his appointment as a reward for his loyalty to Zuma.
Masina believed that some of the “negative” reporting around Ekurhuleni was part of a campaign to besmirch him and undermine his leadership. “The (media) attitude over the past 24 months has been something, because it was about tarnishing the image of the ANC and the mayor.”
Ekurhuleni, like Tshwane and Joburg, has been run by a coalition government since the local government elections.
Masina said he was pleased that he was running “a relatively stable” municipality.
“We are managing complex relationships, addressing the issue of alliance (because of) (opposition) parties that don’t share your ideology. But there has never been a meeting of council which did not complete business, pass budget, and so on.
“So, (the coalition) hasn’t impacted on administration, unlike in Tshwane and Joburg. There are problems but they’ve stabilised.”
Apart from fast-tracking service delivery, Ekurhuleni has prioritised job creation, with the manufacturing, mining as well as transport and freight industries as key sectors. The unemployment rate in Ekurhuleni remains high at just over 30%.
“Independent economists and other institutions rated us as the best in terms of job creation, having created 98000 jobs in the last 12 months.
“If we can sustain that trend, it would be great but we should do more, especially in the area of youth.”
To achieve this, the council needs to invest in upskilling residents.
“It’s one thing to have people who are unemployed and have those who are unemployable. We have invested over R200million over the past two years, among other projects, which we believe will have a direct impact in reducing unemployment.”
Other projects include:
Electrifying informal settlements (more than 20 000 have been given electricity over the past two years).
Improving sanitation and waste collection.
Revitalising the city centres to make them attractive, including expropriating derelict and abandoned buildings that owe municipal rates.
Developing new residential areas, including gated areas.

In the coming school year, 57,000 children will lose access to Head Start, according to the Department of Health and Human Services’ official impact report published this week. Fewer children will lose access than originally predicted, but only because HHS made the difficult decision to reduce the quality of the service for every child in order to serve more children next year. Head Start programs around the country shortened the number of days they will provide services, shortened school days, and laid off or reduced the salaries of 18,000 employees. Even with those drastic reductions, 3,847 young kids in my home state of New York won’t be able to go to their preschool this year. The tale is heart-wrenching.
When I was 3, I spent every day at work with my mother – a luxury most parents and children will never know. Not only did my mom not have to worry about childcare, but because she worked for the YMCA children’s program I attended high quality education for three years before I started first grade. While I cannot quantify the ways this helped me throughout my life, I learned how to read, multiply small numbers, and share my toys with strangers before my official schooling began.
Cutting education for the nation’s young children violates our responsibility to take care of one another and undermines one of the most important investments we can make in the youth of today. Everyone in the country benefits when kids start their education off in a program like Head Start. A variety of research indicates that every public dollar spent on high quality early education can return seven dollars to the country later, in increased productivity and savings on public assistance and criminal justice programs.
Preschoolers aren’t the only students facing cuts due to sequestration. Three-quarters of public school superintendents reported that they would be forced to make staff cuts averaging five positions per school district. In Florida, one county is no longer busing 2,300 low-income children to school, leaving them to find alternative transportation. In Tennessee, officials estimate 1,660 college students who need tuition assistance could lose theirs, and 720 students who earn money through work-study could lose their jobs. These are just a few of the many stories our friends at the Coalition on Human Needs have gathered to demonstrate sequestration’s impact on communities across the country.
Sequestration is disproportionately harming critical programs like Head Start, while the very department that could most afford to have its budget cut has been given disproportionate media attention – the Pentagon.
It was constantly reported in the media that Pentagon contractors would face a “doomsday scenario” under sequestration. However, this has not happened, as even the small contractors have seen their profits rise. For example, Anaren Inc., a small contractor based in East Syracuse, New York, that makes military radar technology originally estimated that sequestration would keep their sales from increasing more than 5 percent. Instead, Anaren’s President Larry Sala now expects the company will see profits rise 10 percent. They are not the only Pentagon contractor to admit they aren’t suffering under sequestration. Bruce Tanner, Lockheed Martin’s chief financial officer, recently told analysts, “We’ve seen less impact from sequestration, writ large, than we expected to through this part of the year…The Pentagon has done a fairly masterful job kind of deflecting” cuts to weapons programs. The Pentagon has taken the reprehensible path of cutting civilian salaries instead of those weapons programs, even though many are wasteful and ineffective.
The contrast between children losing their preschool classes and Pentagon contractors unexpectedly unchanged profit margin exemplifies the injustice of sequestration.
These are the wrong choices for our communities and our nation. That is why we all need to keep reminding our members of Congress: sequestration must be replaced with a responsible alternative that makes significant cuts to Pentagon spending, includes revenue positive tax reform, and protects funding for critical human needs investments like Head Start.

Hi! My name is Jamie! I’m new to the forums, as I recently joined. I love to do art, but I’ve never tried my hand at digital art. I am considering trying it soon, though. I also love writing! I am not going to start any story planning for a few weeks, as well as art. But I hope to get acquainted with some members! Some things about me:
-I am 16(17 as of a October!)
-I am in band! I love playing flute! I got a little rusty over the summer, hehe.
-I am in yearbook! I was accepted into yearbook and we are working on a cool theme. So naturally I am currently obtaining the skill of photography! (Still learning the art of it).
-I love working with others so collabs sound great!
-studies come First for me… over everything! So I may not be too active the next few weeks due to classes, tests, band, and yearbook. So packed!
I am going on vacation this weekend, and next weekend so I won’t be too active. I also have a few quizzes coming up and I need to settle into school since we just started. But once I’m more organized and have a solid foundation for school, I will jump into the community! I hope to get to know some of you, and have a great time with you all!
If you’d like to ask me any questions, or perhaps just become a friend of mine, you can private message me!
