Overview of Hafnium Carbide
Overview of Hafnium Carbide
Hafnium Carbide (HfC), a gray solid with a metallic luster, has the highest melting point in a known single compound, and is a good material for lining high melting point metal melting crucibles; it has a high melting point, high hardness, good high-temperature strength, and corrosion resistance. Good and low thermal conductivity. It can be used as an additive for hard alloys. It is widely used in cutting tools and molds. It is also suitable for rocket nozzle materials. It can be used in the nose cone of rockets. It is often used in the aerospace field. It can also be used in nozzles, high-temperature resistant linings, arc, or electrolysis electrodes; at the same time, it can also be used in nuclear reactor control rods.
The Physical and Chemical Properties of Hafnium Carbide
Gray solid with a metallic luster. The proportion is 12.20. The melting point is about 3890°C. Insoluble in water, soluble in hydrofluoric acid, hot concentrated sulfuric acid, nitric acid, or hot alkaline solution containing 30% H2O2. The room is stable over time. Chlorine is passed over 250℃ to form hafnium tetrachloride, and hafnium dioxide is formed with oxygen over 500℃. 1 mole of hafnium carbide and 4 moles of tantalum carbide can form mixed crystals with a melting point as high as 4215°C.
Preparation of Hafnium Carbide
It is prepared by reacting hafnium or hafnium tetrachloride with methane at 2100℃ or heating hafnium dioxide and carbon black in a graphite crucible to 1900-2300℃ and passing hydrogen. Or from methane, hydrogen, and hafnium chloride vapor through heated tungsten wire.
A Brief Introduction of Hafnium Element in Hafnium Carbide
In nature, hafnium often co-exists with zirconium, and zirconium-containing minerals contain hafnium. Hafnium and zirconium are similar in nature, and hafnium is mainly found in zircon. The amount of HfO2 in zircon used in industry is 0.5-2%. The beryllium zircon in secondary zirconium ore can contain up to 15% HfO2. There is also a metamorphic zircon using stone, which contains more than 5% of HfO2. The latter two minerals have small reserves and have not yet been used in industry. Hafnium is mainly recovered in the process of producing zirconium.

You have reactive, atopic prone skin
Atopic prone skin (or eczema) can affect us at any age. It’s a common condition that is neither contagious nor irreversible, and can be caused by genetics, environment and alterations in the skin’s natural barrier.
Its symptoms include redness, itching and dryness of the skin on the body and face. Atopic skin can also flare up when you come into contact with dust, animal hair, and certain fabrics like wool and synthetics.
Care for atopic skin by using dermatologically tested products that soothe irritations, repair the skin barrier and gently nourish your skin on a daily basis. Take special care in low-humidity or very cold weather, and when handling irritants such as detergents, soaps, perfumes, and fragrances.
Facts about atopic skin
Atopic prone or Eczema is a condition, not a skin type. It can be caused by several factors such as genetics, poor immune system, and environmental triggers such as allergies.
This skin contition affects approximately 15%-20% of children and 1%-3% of adults worldwide.
This condition is due to a weakened skin barrier function which makes the skin unable to absorb lipids and retain water as it should, causing it to become dry and sensitive.
Stress and lack of sleep can also trigger eczma flares.

George Floyd – Former Cop Who Pressed Knee Against His Neck, Wants Charges Dismissed
Derek Chauvin, former officer who pressed knee against George Floyd’s neck, asks to have charges dismissed
New developments have been released, surrounding Derek Chauvin, one of the police officers charged in George Floyd’s death.
George Perry Floyd Jr. was an African-American man killed during an arrest after a store clerk alleged he had passed a counterfeit $20 bill in Minneapolis.
Derek Chauvin knelt on Floyd’s neck for a period initially reported to be 8 minutes and 46 seconds. After his death, protests against police brutality towards black people quickly spread across the United States and internationally.
The three other officers outside of Derek Chauvin, J. Kueng, Thomas Lane, and Tou Thao, have been charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and manslaughter. All of them have been fired.
According to reports, Derek Chauvi’s legal team requested that the charges against him be dismissed, arguing in court that there’s no sufficient evidence against him.
Prosecutors reportedly seek stiff sentences if all the officers involved are convicted.
ABC 7 reports,
Under the state’s sentencing guidelines, a conviction on second-degree unintentional murder and third-degree murder both carry presumptive sentences of 12.5 years. But a judge can order a sentence ranging up to 15 years without departing from the guidelines. For second-degree manslaughter, the guidelines call for four years in prison, or a discretionary range up to 4.75 years. But prosecutors said Friday that they will ask for an “upward departure” from the sentencing guidelines for all four men – meaning they intend to seek even higher penalties. The second-degree murder charge carries a maximum penalty of 40 years in prison, while third-degree murder carries a maximum of up to 25 years and manslaughter carries a maximum sentence of 10 years.
The documents don’t indicate how much prison time prosecutors will request if the men are convicted.

- Bazoer is given after PEC-FC Utrecht red for pushing fourth official
Bazoer is given after PEC-FC Utrecht red for pushing fourth official
03 February, 2019 17:16
Last update: 4 minutes ago
Update: 4 minutes ago
Riechedly Bazoer has Sunday after the bizarre defeat to FC Utrecht PEC Zwolle (4-3) a red card. The midfielder pushed the fourth official along the line while on his way to the tunnel.
The action of the 22-year-old Bazoer, that the rest of the season by Utrecht is hired by VfL Wolfsburg, followed an insane final in Zwolle. Utrecht stood on a 1-3-lead and seemed on their way to victory, but PEC struck in the final ten minutes, three times.
“That boy is of course disappointed and gave the fourth man a light push”, responded coach Dick Advocaat on the red map of Bazoer. “As a fourth official that disappointment just understand and say that he is the next time not more to do.”

What Are Plinth Lights?
Plinth lights are small, unobtrusive, low-level LED indoor lights commonly installed into kitchen kickboards, kitchen cabinets, bathroom cupboards, skirting boards, or even stairways and decking. They are an ideal choice if you want to add ambience to a space, and, depending on placement, can also add an element of safety by softly lighting up those areas which are usually in shadow - such as backdoor stairs.
The Benefits of LED Plinth Lights
While LED plinth lights are mainly installed due to their decorative and mood-enhancing properties, they also bring a number of other benefits to your lighting plan.
When installed correctly, these lights have the power to highlight certain areas of your room. For example, if you add plinth lights to your kitchen, you will have a nice and easy way of highlighting the colour and texture of the kitchen floor.
When it comes to adding atmosphere, LED plinth lights can be used in a similar way to other LED lighting solutions. You can choose a particular colour of light to bring emphasis to floors, cabinets, or tiles. Whatever your style, highlight it and bring it to life with this type of LEDs.
See in the Dark
As mentioned, these lights can add a safety element to your lighting design. They are ideal as night lights, which means that they can be a great addition to homes with young children. You can softly light up staircases, hallways, or add the plinth lighting to your kitchen to create the perfect lighting for those midnight snacks.
Built to Last
At Simple Lighting, our kitchen plinth lights are made by the leading manufacturers of LED lights. LED technology has advanced significantly over the years and continues to excel.

Energy-efficient and Easy to Maintain
The plight LED lights are extremely easy to maintain - there's no need for you to change the light bulbs. All that needs to be done is just a quick wipe with a dry cloth that will collect the dust. They consume only a fraction of energy that normal lighting solutions do, which means that by installing them, you are gaining an easy way of saving money on the electricity bill.
Additionally, they are environmentally-friendly. Apart from using less energy, they also don't contain any toxins, give off no UV, and they are completely recyclable.
Types of LED Plinth Lights
Our kitchen plinth lights are pretty, practical, affordable, and easy to fit! Whether you want to add a touch of contemporary style to your kitchen, highlight that wooden floor or gently illuminate a staircase, we have something to suit your needs. We stock a range of plinth lights in a variety of shapes, finishes, and sizes, so you are sure to find the perfect lighting solution.
RGB LED Plinth Lights
Browse through our selection of RGB plinth lights and find the colour to reflect your mood. These lights come with a controller and a driver that allows the LEDs to change colour so you can adjust them to suit the evening's mood. If you are looking for more regular colour tones, then we also offer more classic tones - warm white, natural white and cool white.
For further control over your kitchen plinth lighting, we also have them with the dimming function. This allows you to control their brightness by using special drivers and equipment. Feel free to adjust the lights according to the activity to be performed or time of the day. This dimming function also lets you save more energy and reduce your electricity bills.
Sizes and Shapes
Our kitchen plinth lights are available in different shapes and sizes. Choose from square, round and even microdot plinth lights. No matter how small or big your kitchen space is, or whether you have a traditional or contemporary kitchen, you can add soft mood light to your units and cabinets either internally or externally by adding LED plinth lights.
Where to Install
If you want to buy the LED plinth lights, but have to clue where you would install them, here are some ideas that you might want to consider.
- Kitchen island - by adding them beneath your island, you can create the illusion of a 'floating counter'. Also, if you have cooks, they will definitely appreciate the extra lighting.
- Underneath the cabinets - illuminate the floor and add safety to your kitchen. You probably know how easy it is to trip during the night, so with these lights installed underneath the cabinets, the problem disappears.
Plinth Lighting Kits
Besides individual kitchen plinth lights, we also have complete kits available. They fit perfectly onto any flat surface, to create a neat and unobtrusive illumination where you need it the most. Our plinth light kits are easy to install as they come with a cable and transformer, allowing you to create amazing lighting effects with no stress.

In the past few years, we have seen millennials and Gen Zs make the switch to thrifting. Younger consumers are often blamed for their shopping and hyperconsumption habits when it comes to fashion, but these impulse buyers are now finding a way to give their unwanted clothing a second life through thrifting.
If you are not familiar with thrift shopping, it is essentially buying something pre-owned. You can look for a local thrift store, but if you can’t find one near you, you can go to websites such as ThredUp, Mercarci, Poshmark, and DePop. Not only is secondhand shopping more affordable, it is extremely environmentally friendly. The fashion industry is considered by the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) to be the second most polluting industry. For carbon emissions, the industry is responsible for more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. Fast fashion especially comes at a huge environmental cost due to water pollution, toxic chemical use, and textile waste. By thrifting, you’re keeping all of the resources invested in all of these clothing items from going to waste. You will also be keeping plastic out of landfills and contributing to the decrease in worldwide textile waste.
Here’s the issue with the thrifting culture: gentrification. The whole concept of thrifting has been somewhat fetishized by middle to upper class white women. It’s one thing to thrift in the name of sustainability but it’s another thing to treat it like a fad or a fashion trend when secondhand clothes are important to lower income families.The obvious benefits to thrifting is that it's financially responsible, environmentally friendly, and enjoyable. However, for many people, thrifting is not an option, it’s a necessity. Before thrifting culture gained popularity, it used to be seen as a symbol of poverty; low-income families and households would and still rely on second hand stores. Due to an increase in demand by economically-advantaged people, thrift stores began increasing their prices, ultimately marginalizing the group that needs them the most. Gentrification has also had an impact on the local charities. Value Villages, Goodwills, and other consignment stores have been closing some of their locations because of cash flow crises.
A question we should be asking ourselves is: should people who can afford to shop elsewhere be thrifting? Since we know that fast fashion damages the environment, there are many sustainable clothing brands such as Patagonia and Reformation, but at a much higher price point. If people can spend their disposable income on high quality sustainable clothing, they should do that instead of treating thrifting as a fad and inadvertently making the thrift stores rake up the prices. Sustainable clothing companies have specific business models that help reduce waste and water pollution, unlike fast fashion companies, which explains the high price points. The issue in recent thrifting culture is the fact that middle to upper class consumers are buying secondhand clothing and then reselling them at much higher prices, making the clothes inaccessible to lower income communities. As long as your intention to buy second hand is pure and not a result of fetishization, then there is no harm in thrifting.

The holidays are in full swing here at the Disneyland Resort and it’s great being a Disneyland photographer with so many wonderful things to photograph. Every year I make my way to Santa’s Reindeer Round-up to see his reindeer and get a few photos of them relaxing before their big night.
I also have another reason for stopping by to see Santa. I usually drop by to give him a hint about what new camera I’d love to get for Christmas.
The photo I’m featuring today is a combination of planning, patience and a bit of good luck. I planned to photograph the reindeer at feeding time, so when I arrived, I patiently waited for them to line up in at the feeding trough. And then I crossed my fingers and hoped luck would help out. As luck would have it, all the reindeer started feeding on the same side and all bent their heads down at the same to take a bite.
SWEET shot Paul. Yes, you got lucky. That is an awesome shot of the reindeer! Good job!
Looks like you racked up another lovely photo.
What a beautiful photo! They are so fun to watch- that was my favorite thing to do at Disneyland during the Holidays this year!!
flying must make reindeer very hungry!!
This photo rocks!


Shanghai has long been a fixture on the FDI radar screen. But while doing business in China never has been easy, members of the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai are finding that negative signals from Chinese officials are increasing anxiety about investing there.
Protectionist policies, unclear regulatory requirements and a growing sense that foreign companies are unwelcome are preventing some US companies from expanding in China, say AmCham Shanghai representatives. Particularly problematic at the moment are bans on American food products such as beef and rice, and policies related to food safety, financial services and cyber security.
However, AmCham Shanghai president Kenneth Jarrett reported during his annual 'door knock' in Washington, DC, in September that many US companies remain optimistic about FDI opportunities. “The story is different from one industry to another,” he said. “But most companies still are profitable there and enjoy healthy market share.”
China is still transitioning from a manufacturing economy to one that embraces the service sector. “The rise of China’s middle class is resulting in US companies focusing on distribution, ecommerce, supply chain management and branding across the Chinese landscape,” said AmCham Shanghai chairman and ChinaVest CEO Robert Theleen. “The Chinese middle class wants to buy products that are better quality and better for their families. Here is where American and European companies succeed.”
Ecommerce in particular offers great opportunities. According to research firm Forrester, China’s ecommerce market was worth $440bn in 2014 and is expected to grow at a compounded annual rate of 20% before surpassing $1000bn in 2019. Even more staggering, analyst McKinsey estimates that by 2020, China’s ecommerce market will be larger than those of the US, UK, Japan, Germany and France combined.
According to Mr Theleen, however, the real problems for US ecommerce companies in China are legal restrictions and slow or blocked access to their online stores. “We don’t see Armageddon happening,” he said. “We think there is a branding and economic story that is important to mention.”
He also stressed that China is the first continental economy to take off in Asia. “All other economies are those of island nations, city states or peninsulas,” he said. “More so, China is going through a transition between benefiting the producer to benefiting the consumer. It’s messy, but it will strengthen China’s middle class.”


Bosch Rexroth Indramat is a renowned engineering firm that is highly enthusiastic about motion control and automation technologies. They are a huge advocate of servomechanism technology (automated control systems) that can be used in robotics, CNC machines, and mainly factory automation. These SERVO systems can offer high levels of reliability and precision as compared to any other technology in the past. The main rationale behind this functionality is their effective use of position feedback to instantly resolve errors and system disturbances that may act as hindrances and halt the production process in large-scale factories.
By employing Rexroth Drive Controllers, servomechanism automation technology can be put to effective use and allow factory owners to enjoy integrated production without any complexities. The Bosch Rexroth DDS02.1-W025-R is part of their DDS drive controller series that makes use of the servo system with a drive or amplifier that is responsible for power the motor. During this process, the drive is a significant component that determines the overall performance of the system.
With Rexroth’s DDS drive controllers, like the DDS02.1-W025-R, it is possible to combine the AC servo with main drives to create one compact package that uses a single supply unit. With the MDD, MKD,andLAR AC motors, the DDS drive controller is able to serve as a rapid-response drive that serves particularly well in machine tools, textile, printing and packaging, robotics, and even handling machines in a factory. The DDS02.1-W025-R drive controller has a specific rated current of 25A, a cooling style of air, and a control cab. ext. air (intern), similar to other drive controllers in the DDS series. Additionally, it is equipped with a communications module and function I.D. that is factory assigned. Get the DDS02.1-W025-R from Wake Industrial with a one-year warranty period.

Tron CEO Extends Invitation To Trump as TRX and BTT Recover On Crypto Markets ByAli RazaPRO INVESTOR Updated: 19 July 2019 Over the past few weeks, cryptocurrencies have been suffering from a variety of challenges. The markets haven’t been performing as well as industry players would like. Regulators and government officials around the world have also been questioning the very basis of cryptocurrencies and their quest for mainstream adoption. During this period where cryptocurrencies are facing some adversity, there are two cryptocurrencies that are starting to show signs of recovery. Tron and BitTorrent (BTT) have surged on the markets over the past 48 hours. Tron went up by close to 10% while BTT also went up by about 5%. Although most of the top cryptocurrencies seem to be recovering from the sea of red that plagued the markets over the past week or so, Tron and BTT have shown a more powerful recovery process than the rest. The faltering markets had affected trading but the recovery will benefit those engaged in trading cryptocurrencies. Tron’s TRX is currently ranked number 11 on the crypto markets. The cryptocurrency fell out of the top 10 and its position as the number 10 currency was taken by Stellar (XLM). Over the last couple of days, Tron has experienced trading volumes close to $700,000 and the coins currently in circulation stand at a value of about 66.68 billion coins. The surge Tron is currently experiencing would entice traders and rightly so. This would be a good time to buy Tron (TRX). If one looks at the charts for Tron over the past 6 months, they can see that the cryptocurrency rose from trading at 0.019 at the start of the year to trading at 0.040 at the end of the six months. The coin was affected by the markets and it fell but if the trajectory it took in the first half of the year is anything to go by, Tron may have a similar journey in the second half of the year. Tron CEO Sends Invitation To US President Donald Trump President Donald Trump recently put Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in the spotlight after he questioned their volatility and their susceptibility to being used in financial crimes. Justin Sun, CEO of Tron, responded to President Trump’s tweets saying that the president had been misled by fake news. He went on to invite President Trump to a luncheon hosted by himself, crypto stakeholders and Warren Buffet. The purpose of the luncheon would be to explain cryptocurrencies better to the American president. The other crypto industry players that have been invited by Sun to the luncheon include the heads of Litecoin, Binance and Huobi. These are some of the leading companies in the crypto industry and their presence would offer much needed perspective to what cryptocurrencies are and how they can be assimilated into the mainstream. It has not yet been determined if President Trump will accept the invitation. Whichever way it goes, the offer by Sun will buoy the markets and encourage traders to buy crypto.

The Los Angeles and Miami homes of American rapper, Sean “Diddy” Combs were raided by America’s federal agents on Monday, according to reports.
The raid is part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation, U.S. officials confirmed Monday.
“Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners. We will provide further information as it becomes available,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement.
The rapper was nowhere to be seen as agents combed through his properties on Monday afternoon. However, two men believed to be the rapper’s sons were put in handcuffs at his Holmby Hills property.
BREAKING: Diddy's homes in Los Angeles and Miami have been raided by federal agents, TMZ reports.
Law enforcement are allegedly walking through the house with guns drawn. People are being questioned in front of the house in Beverly Hills. It's unknown if Diddy is present. pic.twitter.com/5BMzRXcj3z
— XXL Magazine (@XXL) March 25, 2024
Diddy faced multiple lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault in the last quarter of 2024, including one by an unnamed woman who claimed Diddy and two of his friends sexually assaulted her when she was 17.
The unnamed woman was the fourth woman to accuse Diddy of sexual assault last year after his ex, Cassie, claimed she was trafficked, raped, and viciously beaten by Diddy on many occasions in November 2023. Combs denied the claims after the suit was made public.
P. Diddy is the founder of hip-hop’s biggest empire, Bad Boy Records. He is a three-time Grammy winner who has worked with top-tier artists including Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Lil Kim, Faith Evans, Nas and Jay-Z.

It’s an old memory like our first omelet with chanterelles: we put a stool on the kitchen table to reach a monumental buffet where, behind its ledge, a slew of trumpets hung out in a crate, drying out in a crate that would make the happiness of a saddle of rabbit in white wine.
The dehydration “Is the easiest, safest, most economical and most nutritionally interesting method” to preserve mushrooms, writes Linda Louis, nature’s talented culinary author in the Four Seasons of the Mushroom (1). Pick up this “bible”, you will learn there that you do not have to invest in a dehydrator to dry the porcini mushrooms and that it works well when they are placed near a fireplace, a radiator or a stove. a boiler. Linda Louis recommends this technique for porcini mushrooms, trompettes-de-la-mort, shiitake, chanterelles (tube or yellowing), autumn mousserons, but she advises against it for sheep’s feet, which become bitters, chanterelles or oyster mushrooms, which become too chewy when rehydrated and cooked.
Start by washing your mushrooms thoroughly. Arrange them on racks, wooden crates. You can also thread them with a needle on a thread, a string in front of the wood stove. Leave them whole for small specimens or cut them into strips (especially porcini mushrooms). Do not let the mushrooms touch each other to facilitate drying. For homemade techniques, without a dehydrator, drying can take from twenty-four (chanterelles) to forty-eight hours (porcini mushrooms). At worst, finish drying in the oven, thermostat at 50 degrees, door ajar. Check that the mushrooms are dry by handling them a little. Store them in an airtight jar away from light and at room temperature. To be sure to keep them dry, place a pinch of rice at the bottom to absorb the residual moisture. To rehydrate the mushrooms, simply place them in a bowl of lukewarm water for thirty minutes (chanterelles, trumpets) to two hours (porcini, shiitake).

University Park Reports 108 New Student Coronavirus Cases
Penn State reported 108 more University Park students have tested positive for the coronavirus, according to an update to the university’s COVID-19 Dashboard Friday.
One employee also tested positive for the virus.
The university administered 2,622 student random surveillance tests between October 16 and 22, resulting in 13 positives, 2,249 negatives, and 360 pending tests. Meanwhile, Penn State performed 1,066 on-demand tests in that span, which yielded 127 positives, 845 negatives, and 94 pending tests.
Coupled with Tuesday’s dashboard update, Penn State has reported 198 new cases at University Park this week.
According to the dashboard’s update, 47 students are currently in on-campus quarantine, while 57 are in on-campus isolation.
Since testing began on August 7, Penn State has found 3,646 positive student coronavirus cases at University Park out of 49,946 administered tests. Additionally, 11 employees have tested positive so far.
According to the dashboard, 235 student cases remain active at University Park, while 3,411 are inactive. Three employee cases are active, while eight are not.
It’s worth noting Penn State defines “inactive” as any case that’s more than 10 days old. At this time, it’s unclear how many inactive cases, if any, have actually tested negative and are truly dormant.
Friday’s added cases represented a slight increase compared to the last two updates, which added 93 and 90 cases, respectively. Penn State President Eric Barron said students should remain cautious and vigilant, even if numbers appear to be trending downward.
“After a steady decrease, the slight uptick in the number of active cases serves as a reminder that the virus is still with us,” Barron said. “With our first football game taking place on Saturday, and with flu season upon us, it is especially critical that we remain diligent in our prevention behaviors so that we do not undo the progress we’ve made in recent weeks. For the sake of the overall health of our community, I urge our students, employees and all Penn State fans to not congregate this weekend and to continue practicing masking-wearing, social distancing and proper hygiene. This is not the time to let down our guard.”
Mount Nittany Medical Center is currently treating a record-high 15 coronavirus-positive patients ranging from 23 to 95 years old. Thirty-four total patients have been admitted in October, with an average of nine positive inpatients each day.
“Although recently reported trends reflecting a decline in overall community cases is encouraging, increased cases and hospitalizations among vulnerable elderly populations is cause for concern,” Dr. Nirmal Joshi, the hospital’s chief medical officer, said in a statement. “It is also a reminder to be even more vigilant and thoughtful in consistently practicing preventive measures, including masking, social distancing and frequent hand washing.”
Mount Nittany’s record number of patients comes as Pennsylvania reported 2,219 new positive statewide Friday, a record high. Its previous high was 1,989 on April 9.
Penn State plans to update the dashboard with new testing statistics twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays. The tool incorporates data random surveillance testing, symptomatic testing, and self-reported testing through University Health Services or Occupational Medicine.
Penn State’s data and Pennsylvania’s Department of Health data may vary due to lag between test collection and test results from various labs.
Throughout the semester, the university plans to randomly test at least 1% of its population each day at designated locations around campus, including the Bryce Jordan Center and Eisenhower Auditorium. Students can also receive free walk-up testing at Pegula Ice Arena from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

One of the problems encountered in working life is the great number of amendments made to Legal Legislation. Working life becomes quite complex and hard to follow due to issues such as the amendment of articles in the law with the regulation and rearranging of amended articles with a circular or another law to be introduced. In this article, we will discuss the amendment of the article of Law No. 5510 which has been amended with the new legislation published in the Gazette, No. 28742 of 21.08.2013 by recently introduced Law No. 6552 publicly known as Bag Law.

Employers have a number of obligations before and following delivery in case of pregnancy of their employees.
In general, it is essential that pregnant employees are given leave for 8 weeks (56 days) both before and after delivery making 112 days in total. Since pregnant employees shall be paid disability allowance (maternity pay) during that period, employers are not bound to make payment. Employers, however, may continue to make payment based on their own discretion.
For multiple pregnancy, the leave to be granted before delivery shall be 10 weeks (70 days).

This paper presents the application of the partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) method in the time and frequency domains for calculating voltages across insulators on an actual transmission tower and ground potential rise on grounding electrodes. An effective way to increase the efficiency of the method in terms of computation time, which consists of the appropriate combination of the PEEC method and the transmission line theory, is proposed. The transmission line model is adapted to combine with the method for reducing elements in the PEEC method. Comparisons of the simulation results by the proposed methods in the time and frequency domains with other numerical methods and with available experimental data show satisfactory agreement.

With Jack Hobbs for a name, there is no surprise that the Leicester City centre-half is a throwback to a previous era.
He was an effective fly-half for Spalding Grammar School and, befitting the famous moniker, was also a talented cricketer. When he says: “I felt rugby benefited me in terms of the team spirit and respecting the officials,” they are not empty words.
Hobbs throws himself in where the boots are flying, but has gone through the Championship season with just a single yellow card against his name. His disciplinary record is testament to his timing and his pace, assets he will look to in today’s semi-final playoff against Cardiff City.
At Leicester, he is talked of as a cultured centre-half and if he…

Growing Big Tomatoes in Containers Mountain Pride Tomato
The mountain pride hybrid tomato is a big and delicious meaty tomato variety that is very diseaseresistant let’s see how to grow this tomato variety in containers so in our earlier episodes we saw how to grow different kinds of tomatoes like grape tomatoes roma tomatoes this time we’re gonna grow a tomato that’s a beefsteak kind of tomato these are huge tomatoes that can be grown in containers if you follow the right techniques for the container we’re using a whisky barrel which will provide enough room for this tomato plant to grow and remember that this.
Mountain pride hybrid is a determinate tomato variety which means that it will grow produce a lot of tomatoes and then it will stop growing it won’t grow indefinitely like the indeterminate tomato varieties so that makes it a good candidate for growing in containers and that’s exactly what you see here we have secured this tomato plant with this tomato cage and if you want to take a look at all the tomato cages available you can see this tutorial on your screen which will give you the details and in just a few days in the warm month of June you can see that the tomato plant has grown pretty well and has almost.
Occupied the entire whiskey barrel container Now this whiskey barrel container does contain a lot of soil it’s about two or three times the capacity of a fivegallon pot and that gives a tomato plant enough room to grow and as you can see herr this plant has now started flowering and it’s about mid June right now and you can see a lot of flowers being produced by this plant and there you can see that I have pruned this plant at some of the nodes the suckers have been removed and I do this mostly for determinate tomato varieties and that too if I’m growing them in containers if I’m growing the.
Tomato plants on the ground or on raised beds I do not prune the plant a lot but I do remove the diseased and the dead leaves so in about mid July you can see that the plant is loaded with fruits of these lovely looking tomatoes and if you think these tomatoes are big well just wait and see how big they can get now I’d like to mention that when growing tomatoes one of the keys to growing great tomatoes is to make sure that you prune all dead leaves, disease stems make sure that the bottom part of the tomato plant is clean this allows a lot of air to get in and it prevents fungal diseases for your tomato plants and overall is a very.
Important step in growing tomatoes something that a lot of us all overlook And as you can see here in August the tomatoes have started ripening they’ve started becoming red so I’m going to harvest this tomato from the plant and my first harvest is usually the one that I ripen on the shelf and what this does is that it lets me eat some tomatoes while the other tomatoes are ripening on the vine and once again the ones the ones ripening on the vine taste a lot better however if you.
Want some tomatoes go ahead and harvest a few you can put them on the shelves easily and use them And in the hot summer months you need to water your tomato plants very well tomatoes might need watering once a day sometimes even twice a day in the hot summer months so make sure that your tomato plants hydrated or what will happen is that your fruits will start cracking from the bottom which is not a good thing for goodlooking tomatoes you need to make sure that you water your.
Tomato plants very well especially during the growing season which is the hot summer months and I wont be discussing much about the kind of fertilizer you need to use for this tomatoes because I have discussed that on a lot of my other tutorials you can see some of those tutorials on your screen now So let’s talk a little about this tomato variety this Mountain pride hybrid tomato variety was developed at the North Carolina State University.

Please join me in welcoming Jamie Salisbury on her tour for "Timeless Sojourn". Jamie has kindly provided me with the answer to my question "Why we're drawn to the older heroine" in romance today. Please be sure to leave a comment or question below as Jamie will be awarding a $25 Amazon Gift Card to one randomly drawn commenter during her tour. You can follow her tour here, the more often you comment, the better your odds at winning.
Romance and the Older Heroine by Jamie Salisbury
Me: Why are we drawn to older heroines today? Can you share with us your thoughts o the pros and cons of the older heroine?
Jamie: The pros of the “older” heroine?
There are tons! She is comfortable with herself, does not have to nor wants to play the games of her younger counterparts. She understands her significant other a lot deeper.
I don’t see any, other than perhaps she is older than he is, and while it is perfectly acceptable for a man to date/marry a younger woman, a lot of folks seem to have a problem when the roles are reversed.
Me: Can you tell us about the "romantic" scenes in your books with the older heroine? Pros and Cons?
Jamie: The romantic scenes in my books? Probably only pros - they are better because the heroine is more in tune with her body. She knows not only what she needs and wants, but she knows her partners needs as well. Where younger women are more about having their needs met, it is more of a mutual desire and seeing both of them are satisfied rather than the one-sided behavior and thoughts of a younger woman. As they say, at least for women, it gets better with age.
Me: Just how spicy are your scenes with the older heroine?
Jamie: When I write my romance scenes I’ll take it as far as needed. It has to be realistic to me, Yes, I’ve left it where it’s up to the readers imagination to figure out the conclusion, but I have no problem taking it to whatever level it needs to go, and I have even toned things down only because of the reader. But one thing I have learned from my continuing writing quests is to let the characters speak.
So, there you have it, Jamie's thoughts on our attraction to the older heroine.
by Jamie Salisbury
Recently divorced at a time when most women are enjoying their children being grown, Anne Harrison finds her life in chaos. At the urging of her forever-friend Kat, Anne moves back to Seattle, her childhood home, to get back her former confidence and make a fresh start.
Confident, creative, and a successful businessman, Geoffrey Quinn has depths not immediately apparent to those who come into contact with that cocky, devilishly handsome exterior.
The last thing either is looking for is a relationship. Anne finds Geoff highly irritating (and young!) at best, while Geoffrey finds her magnetic and wise. To his amusement, she futilely attempts to dismiss him each time they cross paths, and sparks fly.
Watch as this seemingly unsuitable, disparate duo lights a fiery, compelling attraction neither sees coming. But who will get burned?
Geoff was right--once we returned to Seattle it was almost a week before I heard from him. When he did call it was merely to check in and see what I was up to. His new project he said would consume him for the next couple of weeks until he was ready to begin his mock up. I took that as a hint to drop by his studio/gallery. Geoff’s studio/gallery was in the same building as Tom’s PR firm so Friday afternoon I decided to pay Geoff a visit.
I walked inside his gallery and found him walking through the space. He looked like a deer in the headlights. He looked up, saw me and walked toward me shaking his head.
“I hope you don’t mind,” I started, seeing he was shaking his head and had somewhat of a scowl on his face. “I wasn’t busy and thought I’d pop in and check on you.”
“No, please Anne, feel free to stop in anytime,” he replied was he walked up to me and placed his hands on my shoulders as he kissed me. “I just realized that my gallery party is scheduled for tomorrow evening and I haven’t done a thing to prepare for it. I’ve been so busy with this new piece I completely lost track of time.”
“Come on, let’s go sit down. You can tell me what you needs done and I’ll help you.”
“I can’t possibly ask you to do that.”
“You can and you will. Now let’s make a list of what needs to be done.”
He led me by the hand towards a desk in a corner of his gallery. I sat in the chair placed next to the desk as he sat behind it looking for paper and a pen. We went over a list of guests who would definitely be coming and then on to what he wanted to serve. I got my phone out and began to call Kat.
“Whom are you calling?” He asked not looking up from his list.
“Kat. She can at least help us estimate how much wine you’ll need.”
I was actually surprised that he had not been more organized for this event. This wasn’t like him. I smiled to myself as I realized I might be a slight distraction to his usually orderly life.
Kat was surprised too, but didn’t flinch when I started asking her questions. Then she came up with an idea and had me give Geoff the phone. All I heard was his grunting to her questions or short answers.
“Seems I’m coming over to Kat’s for dinner this evening so we can all discuss my lack of preparation for this event.”
“Don’t worry, we’ll get you through this.” I replied taking his hand.
“I have no doubt you will. Come,” He said getting up and leading me toward the back, “I want to show you how I do what I do.”
We walked to the back. I saw a ton of drawings taped to the walls and on a large flat surface. There was also a large hunk of clay covered by plastic. It amazed my senses at the detail involved in a project such as this.
AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Jamie Salisbury cannot imagine a time when she did not write. A skill that has served her well throughout her professional career. Public relations in and around the entertainment industry, photography, editing, and special event planning all elevated her passion for writing.
An avid reader of histories, biographies, and romance, it's only natural that part of the products of her pen are historical romances featuring characters so authentic they spring forth from the page and shake the reader's hand. Many of her teen years were spent in Chile, but she and her family were forced out of the country when the political climate demanded it.
Taking the plunge to take her writing professional came as a result of a series of foot surgeries that left her with a lot of time on her hands. Unable to walk great distances at the time, she started writing as a way to pass the time. Her experiences of how dramatically her life had changed at first. Then the new world of e-publishing inspired her to digitally publish her first novel, Perpetual Love, rather than relegate it to the dreaded drawer. She couldn't be happier with her decision to grab the publishing industry by the shoulders and force it to pay attention to all she has to offer.
Two more novels have followed: Blood Lust and Tudor Rose, with more to follow soon.
Jamie now lives outside of Atlanta, but the love for travel has never abandoned her. Adventure, exploration, and intrigue permeate her prose to the core.
In those few moments of the day when she's not writing or thinking about writing, she finds knitting a way to relax and unwind. Other interests include photography, equestrianism, reading, and of course traveling.
Jamie hopes her writing will entertain, enlighten, and inspire others to pick up the pen and pursue their own dreams. She loves to be contacted by readers, writers, and history buffs.

Lawrence New, 45, residence not listed, was arrested in Mingo County by West Virginia State Police Trooper J.K. Weese on Feb. 10 for three counts of breaking and entering, petit larceny, obstructing an officer and brandishing a deadly weapon. He was booked at the Southwestern Regional Jail at Holden at 1 a.m.
According to Sgt. J.C. Dotson of the Williamson detachment of the WVSP, Trooper Weese was on patrol Thursday night when he got a call from Delorme about a man who was reportedly breaking into cars in that neighborhood.
"Trooper J.K. Weese made the arrest," Sgt. Dotson said adding that the incident could have become tragic as New allegedly pulled a knife on the people who caught him.
"Pretty much what happened there, one of the residents heard an alarm going off. Everybody in the community came out to investigate. Mr. New was apparently intoxicated and trying to break into some cars and the residents in that area approached him when he pulled a knife on them," Dotson said.
Residents of the neighborhood restrained the man, assisting Tpr. Weese in making the arrest.
Delorme is located in Mingo County on the state border between Matewan and Freeburn, Ky. The incident happened near the Delorme Bible Church.
In other arrest reports:
A pair of local men were accused of stealing some video gaming systems from an area store recently.
• Christopher Kyle Noe, 24, of Holden, was arrested in Logan County by Sgt. D.A. White and Patrolman K. Conley for petit larceny and destruction of property on Feb. 3. He was booked at the regional jail at 1:30 p.m.
• Brenton Ray Vaughn, 20, of Stollings, was arrested in Logan County by the Logan Police Department for petit larceny and destruction of property on Feb. 3. He was booked at the regional jail at 1:30 a.m.
Noe and Vaughn are both accused of shoplifting from Walmart.

The banking sector in India has seen phenomenal improvement over the past decade. Technology has made it possible to have a contactless banking service. In-person bank visits are no longer necessary, which means the bank has entered people’s smartphones. The Covid-led lockdown has pushed for even more reforms and banking facilities have been revolutionized with the help of technology. This implies that one can easily make payments, receive payments and save time as well as money. It also allows us to do without cash and live in the 21st century. Here is a list of promising startups that provide banking and financial services to businesses as well as individuals.
This is the age of startups and everyone wants to fulfill their dream of being their own boss. Usually people start with a small team, and it’s impossible for the founder to be available in all places. Paycorp.io is the perfect solution for these businesses to automate their recurring payments, without human intervention. Paycorp.io is a startup that is a boon for startups and other businesses as well as businesses. It allows fast same day payments which is a far cry from traditional payment options which can take days together. Payment can be debited automatically at a recurring period through different modes like ACH, UPI, cards and generates multiple touchpoints like WhatsApp, link push and a portal. The direct interface with six banks covering major Indian banks allows for smooth service. It’s one less hassle for startup founders.
E-commerce is flourishing and how. It is easier for business owners to reach customers around the world. However, they also need a safe, secure, and reliable payment gateway that will help them accept, process, and disburse payments. With so much fraudulent activity online, a secure payment channel is the need of the hour. And also allows the payment to reach the owner in real time, enabling quick action on the action placed. So, we can say that startups like Razorpay are the reason why the e-commerce portal turnaround time is as low as 12 hours.
Paytm as a startup needs no introduction. Provider of secure and fast UPI payments as well as online payments, it has infiltrated the life of the common man. So much so that online transaction is synonymous with Paytm. From the roadside momo vendor, to fancy restaurants, to the clothing vendor, all have been empowered to learn the online transaction and seized the opportunity. This saves you from having to deal in cash and then wasting time giving change. Safe, smooth and fast, this is the present and the future of online payment in India.
CC Avenue is a provider of complete payment solutions, which allows businesses to accept payments through different methods. It can switch transactions dynamically; recover abandoned transactions and retry in case of payment failure. Let’s accept it, usually there are problems with online transactions and anxiety skyrocketing, when it shows our payment has been debited from the account, but the e-commerce portal shows it as failure to receive payment . A state-of-the-art fraud and risk identification system and knowledge base (FRISK) ensures that such problems do not occur. The responsive transaction page is designed to adapt for an optimal transaction experience.
Of course, there are many in the Indian startup ecosystem, but these banking startups have made a commendable difference in the way banks and banks work.

I was watching Fashion Star and although I don't really remember any of the designs anyone came up with I just couldn't get the top that Silvia was wearing out of my head.
|I see now that it's more of a
jacket and a blouse~
Silvia is very sophisticated and on the show they always talk about her style as "European". Who wouldn't want to look like her?!?!?
Mine doesn't really fulfill all of the inspiration points because I wanted to be able to wear it to the office, but it is definitely form fitting.
I ended up using this pattern from Simplicity:
I just shortened the dress View A.
I was in such a rush that I didn't cut enough pieces for the placket and had absolutely no fabric left over. So, I ended up making the placket a facing. Which meant I had to alter the collar because it was too long. So, it's not perfect, but I like it.
So, lesson(s) of the day: take your time! read your pattern and make sure you've cut enough pieces! And, consult your inspiration before you make your piece...not after, as you're about to blog about it~


An Anti-Drugs seminar was been organized today at the General Bus Stand, Jammu. In this seminar students from colleges, drivers, conductors and passengers participated and raised their voice against drug abuse. Uttam Chand, SSP Jammu and Shaqeel Beigh, DIG Jammu were also present at this event.
The concept behind this campaign was to create an awareness and to give information that will enable people to live a healthy life full of wellness physically, psychologically, socially and spiritually. At this event extinguished chief guests showed their concern and expressed their worries over the drug addicts. They said drug abuse is a big problem in this country today and we should take serious steps to control it. They said that such programs will definitely help to promote awareness against the life-threatening effects among people in Jammu and Kashmir.
It is pertinent to note that Drug consumption has been consistently increasing in the state. The state already lists among the top states with Cigarette smokers. The average of smokers in the state is almost double when compared to the national average. This is worrisome as the cases of various forms of cancer has also been rising and consequently the number of deaths resulting from cancer has also increased monumentally.
Not a day in Jammu and Kashmir goes when drugs are not siezed. Bhukki is the most commonly held drug and lately the smuggling of cocaine, brown sugar and marijuana has been on the rise. More often than not, the quantity of drugs siezed has a valuation that runs into crores. The problem is where these are just some of the traffickers get caught.
Most of the trafficking goes unchecked because of insufficient technology within the state

So how does this affect Schroedinger’s cat, quantum disinfonauts? From the Independent:
… Read the rest
Reality doesn’t exist until it’s measured, at least for very small things, new research has found.
By replicating a famous experiment where an object is given a choice for how to behave, physicists found that the object doesn’t actually make its decision until it is seen. The finding proves one of the central parts of quantum theory, a branch of science that has been applied to make much of our modern technology.
Scientists gave an object a chance either to act like a wave or a particle, and looked to find out when the decision was made. While one might expect that it is either one or the other, quantum physics predicts that it will only act one way or the other when it is measured, after it has decided — and that was confirmed by the experiment.


Hot Water Music - Caution Colored Vinyl LP
Hot Water Music Caution Colored Vinyl LP
In 2019, Hot Water Music will be celebrating their 25th anniversary as a band and touring the world performing tracks from their entire catalog. Epitaph Records will be repressing three of the band's albums on colored vinyl for re-release in 2019: 2001's A Flight and A Crash, 2002's Caution and 2004's The New What Next.
True to it's title, Caution immediately demands the listener's undivided attention. With a unique blend of heartfelt punk, guttural rock, and explorative neo-hardcore, Hot Water Music shirks categorization on Caution. Immediate and infectious on "Trusty Chords," a feral rocker that works off a pop blueprint, the band emphasizes variety as it glides into the rhythm-steeped "One Step To Slip" and the cathartic "I Was On A Mountain." Further demonstrating HWM's depth, Caution sees the band careen from the circle-pit stylings of "Wayfarer" to the subtle yet frenetic underpinning of "Alright For Now" with artful management.
"We've never tried to be anything but what we are," said bassist Jason Black. "Musically, we've never wanted to define ourselves at all." And in keeping with that assessment, the Gainesville, FL foursome differed from virtually every other band making punk-inspired sounds in 2002. On Caution - the group's second disc for Epitaph - HWM drives home the point that music should be more about substance and skill and less about red hair dye.
Hot Water Music Caution Track Listing:
2. Trusty Chords
3. I Was On A Mountain
4. One Step To Slip
5. It's All Related
6. The Sense
7. Seein' Diamonds
8. Not For Anyone
9. Sweet Disasters
10. Alright For Now

While most computer mice have feet planted firmly on the mouse pad, it takes a special mouse to truly fly. The Logitech MX Air can be wielded in the air and become a gyroscopic pointer with just a flick of your wrist.
On a desk, the $150 MX Air, which has two buttons and a touch-sensitive surface for scrolling, acts like a standard cordless laser mouse. But when you lift it up, internal sensors transmit the position, direction and speed of the mouse so your computer can recreate the motion on the screen.
The MX Air also has gesture commands. While it is suspended, you can press the volume button and move the mouse left or right to control your sound system’s audio. Twirling the mouse skips tracks forward and back.
The mouse includes rechargeable batteries and a charging dock and is compatible with PCs running Microsoft Windows. It will be available online and in stores next month.
Sadly, your other earthbound mice will probably be jealous of this interloper. Just tell them the Logitech MX Air is a bat. JOHN BIGGSContinue reading the main story

Life By Night was a short lived and typical mid 80's pop-rock act based in Los Angeles, CA. They released one self-titled album in 1985 on the EMI/Manhattan label and disbanded not long after with the members moving on to various other bands.
Frontman Tom Croucier had an intresting background partly because of being an early member of glam rockers Dokken but also because of being the brother of Ratt bassist Juan Croucier (who, ironically, also had a short stint with Dokken in the late 1970´s).
The other members were Jeff Naideau (keyboards, guitar), Kevin Anderson (keyboards), Stuart Mathis (guitar) and Bryan Hitt (drums).
Very typical for it's time, the record featured a well-produced pop rock sound combining the many different influences (new wave, AOR, synthpop and so on) of it's time to fine effect. One of the album's highlights was the melancholic "Phone To Phone" which was released both as single and video, but other tracks like the more upbeat "Non Stop World" and "Angel" also showed that the band could compete with the finest high-tech AOR acts of the day like A=440, Cats Can Fly or Shy Talk.
After the album Stuart Mathis moved on to join Australian/US pop-rockers The City while Jeff Naideau joined Quiet Riot as a keyboard player on their 1986 Japan tour. Drummer Bryan Hitt went on to play with several artists and bands including Stan Bush and from 1989 to present has been the drummer of AOR legends REO Speedwagon.

Hello and welcome to my Book Review blog. I'm a lover of the written word from Southern California. If you are looking to read about books, you have come to the right place.
"So many books, so little time," - Marcus Tullius Cicero
Sunday, February 12, 2012
Room by Emma Donoghue
I purchased this book, it sat on my shelf for two months. I picked it up, I put it down. Repeatedly. I finally decided to begin reading this story in late 2011. The story of a young woman, kidnapped, brutalized. A child born out of that brutality, a baby boy, in an 11' x 11' soundproof room in the backyard of an unassuming house. Jack is turning five-years-old as the story begins. He and his mother, whom we only come to know as "Ma" are being held against their will by "Old Nick", a man who tricked Ma at the age of 19 into getting into his pickup truck, and the rest is the story of Room. I will honestly say that it took me what seems like forever to "get into" this book. The narrative voice of a five-year-old boy who has never been out of the shed that he was born in was hard for me to wrap my head around. I skipped some of the pages to get to the meat of the story, but in the end this is a story that I cherish. I cannot imagine the vile horrors that the mother in this story endured. I cannot imagine the stunted development of Jack, who has never seen the world. He only knows what he has seen on television and what his "Ma" has taught him in the years that they have survived in this hell. I have read many books and they tell of fear, defeat, death, but this book touches on a reality that we don't often get to experience. What if you were kidnapped and locked away in a drab grey shed for seven years. Think about it. Would you know how to socialize with other people when you were finally freed? Would your eyes work the same? Your limbs? Your immune system? This is a book that is on another level. This book will make you think differently about captivity. The zoo even. I love a book that teaches me something new and makes me want more. I did not want this story to end because I wanted to follow Ma and Jack all the days of their lives and see the world re-birthed through their eyes.

"It's pornographic" and
"You can't sell that here!"
Breast cancer and cancer
organizations find Breast Health product
Guelph, ON Canada - December 5, 2001
— The Breast of Canada calendar was designed with the
specific intent to provide information and daily encouragement
to women on the issue of breast health and breast cancer
prevention. The calendar's distinctive and edgy style speaks
to a targeted demographic of women who were not getting the
message from the limited number of other breast health
promotions that currently exist.
Focused on wellness and artistically bold, the calendar
effectively and directly addresses breast health issues
without using scare tactics. The message "early detection
is the best defense against breast cancer" is front and
center and is complimented by easy-to-follow instructions on
how to do monthly breast self-examinations properly. The
Breast of Canada project is awareness and action built into
one universally understood, affordable product that opens the
door to further discussion.
It is also a piece of art.
Breast of Canada speaks directly to the hip Canadian woman
who wants to be proactive about her own health and wellness.
You would think the world of established breast cancer
treatment and charity organizations would be standing up and
applauding a product that focuses on "our best
defense" and meets this issue head on.
Instead, many breast cancer treatment establishments and
charities have refused to participate in the project. On more
than one occasion, Sue Richards, the calendars' publisher, has
been told; "You can't sell that here". Upon
investigating existing retail opportunities at breast cancer
awareness and fund raising functions, the message has been
"The calendar is pornographic" and "Our patrons
would not approve". One foundation stated, "We did
not remove it from the cellophane. We are returning it
immediately". Another major breast cancer foundation
rejected the offer of 40% net profit from the calendar because
they felt that the "Controversy would far outweigh the
A hospital administrator thought that the photo of the
apple in March (nutrition month) looked too much like a penis.
It's a Golden Delicious.
Simply put, breast cancer is a bold and aggressive disease
that kills women. Seventy percent of women who get breast
cancer have no known risk factors. Their only qualification
for the disease is having breasts. Thousands of women loose
their breasts every year and go through painful procedures
only to have the disease return at a later date.
According to The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, EARLY
DETECTION IS THE BEST DEFENSE. Women who own the calendar
claim that, unlike other awareness raising products, Breast of
Canada has motivated and inspired them to take action. They
are making appointments with their doctors to discuss breast
health. They are learning how to do monthly breast
self-examinations properly. And in some cases, they are
booking their first mammograms. In short, they are taking
breast health into their own hands.
So the question remains - What is stopping breast cancer
groups and foundations from stepping forward to embrace and
promote this project?
Could it be that we still don't want to see pictures of
And how deadly.

A couple of weeks ago I met two sisters Claire and Lucy at a Christmas lunch for mums who blog. Both are journalists, with Claire’s role until this past summer writing about food and health for The Times and Lucy as a freelance journalist writing about food, parenting, and social trends. Together they both write ‘Crumbs’, a site dedicated to inspiring, mostly quick to prepare meals that try to avoid those lengthy ingredient lists that can give you brainache.
What’s particularly enjoyable is the way they weave the fabric of their lives into their recipes and they’re both genuinely unpretentious, so their inspiration is born from being time poor, bare cupboards, and wanting to have a good ‘ole time where they can enjoy food without getting stressed about it.
If you flail around for inspiration about food to cook for the kids, meals that can stretch across two mealtimes, or how to cobble something together for just you, the worn out parents that looks like you spent more time on it than you did, Crumbs is a funny, inspiring read. There are 5, 10, and 20 mins to prepare or prepare and cook recipes, plus there’s a lifesaver section for saving your sanity with 90 second stir fry’s and slack mummy soup amongst the fare. If you move fast, you could even rustle up Aunty Joy’s Christmas Cake, which is ready in 3 days and lasts for at least a week and possibly up to 3 weeks – 10 minutes prep, two hours in the oven. Loving it.
