How a cardboard box can be turned into a useful light modifier for the grand sum of 60p
I was in my garage the other day and realised something; it’s full of empty cardboard boxes. It’s a shocking confession I know, but what with eBay and other things you just never know when you might need a box, right? The 53 I counted, however, maybe considered a little excessive. I started to think whether I could trim the numbers down a little and my mind drifted to the fact that I’d been taking some flash images a couple of weeks earlier where I’d been a little disappointed by the harshness of the direct flash light. Within moments, a plan was hatched.
After a root around in the section of the garage not populated with cardboard, plus the kitchen drawers, I ended up with this selection of goodies with which I decided to make a softbox:
1x small cardboard box
1x roll of kitchen foil
1x roll of electrician’s tape
1x pair of scissors
1x flashgun (I’m using an EF-42)
3x sheets of tracing paper at 20p a sheet
1x bottle of glue (optional)
I started by placing the flashgun in a central position on the box and drawing around it to give me an approximate shape of the flash head.
Grabbing the scissors, I cut the shape out, going slightly inside the lines I’d drawn to make sure that the head fitted through snugly.
Confident my cutting skills had progressed from primary school, I taped the sides of the box down. They could have been cut off, of course, but I preferred to tape them down to create slightly more robust sides to the box.
I used a couple of lengths of foil to coat the inside of the box. This could be glued down if you wish, but the nature of foil meant that it moulded to the shape nicely and stayed put. There’s no need to smooth it down, just as long as the light can happily reflect around, you’re fine.
Having covered up the hole in the box, I then cut a second hold through the foil and pushed the flash head back through.
Putting the box to one side, I took a sheet of the tracing paper and folded it in half to provide the diffusing panel for the front of my softbox. As it transpired, I only needed the one sheet, but you could use more if you wanted an even softer result.
The tracing paper was then taped on all four sides of the box leaving it ready for action.
Now, it’s pretty evident that my box had a flaw in that it covered up the AF illuminator. As I was only working in dim light, this wasn’t an issue, but if you want to shoot in pitch black you’re going to struggle. There are no worries about metering, though, the X-T2 I was shooting with has TTL metering so I could be sure of accurate exposures.
So, just how good was my softbox? I’d say the results speak for themselves:
This first image was taken without the softbox attached. As I was close to the subject with the EF-42 flash mounted on the camera’s hot-shoe, there’s an issue with coverage. The flash hasn’t illuminated the bottom part of the frame very well, plus the shadows behind the soft toy are very harsh. All in all, not the best.
With my softbox in place, however, there’s a real improvement. The coverage is much more even and the shadows are far less harsh.
But this shot is arguably even better, created by pointing the flashgun, with softbox attached, straight to the ceiling. It’s created a lovely even top light to the toy, which looks more like studio lighting than a flashgun with a cardboard box stuck on it.
Black card, tape and Velcro are all you need to add extra creativity to out-of-focus highlights.
If there’s one thing that Fujifilm XF lenses are well known for it’s bokeh. Some folks mistake this term as referring to purely out-of-focus highlights, but in reality it means the whole out-of-focus area of an image and how appealing it looks. But there’s fun to be had with highlight areas, particularly pinpoints of light the likes of which are created by fairy lights. Take a look at the two shots below, the one on the left is a defocused shot taken with an XF55-200mm at the 200mm setting and its widest aperture. The shot on the right was created by slipping a piece of card with a heart cut in it in front of the lens. Cute, eh?
And it’s easy enough to do.
First up, you’re going to need some materials. I used the following:
1x sheet black card
1x roll of electrician’s tape
1x pack of Velcro strips
1x Fujifilm camera and lens
The more eagle-eyed among you will also notice there’s an X Series box inner as well. More on that later…
Start by taking the card and a pencil and drawing round the lens you want to creating the bokeh shape for.
Once you’ve got a nice outline (not wonky like mine), cut it out using the scissors, then place it back on the lens to make sure it’s the right size.
Measure the diameter of the card and then use the scalpel to cut out a second circle that’s approximately 1cm across.
Once you’ve done that, cut a strip of black card and apply the electrician’s tape to one edge of it.
Slowly wrap this around the circle you’ve already cut out, creating a shallow holder in the process.
The holder should now slide neatly over the front of the lens.
Take the Velcro and cut two short strips, sticking them on either side of the small hole.
Finally, cut a final small piece of card and then either the scalpel to cut a shape you want to appear in the bokeh. A heart is easy enough to cut by hand, but if you want something more intricate shaped punches are available in craft stores and provide a smooth edge. Stick the other part of the Velcro on this card and attach. This way you can easily make other shapes and remove/attach as you wish.
You’ll need to do some experimentation with different lenses and aperture settings. Naturally, the wider the aperture the better, plus you’ll find that manual focusing is better. After my initial tests with this shape to produce the shot at the top of this blog, I created a second slightly fatter heart shape for the shot below, which I prefer. To add a bit more interest, I also added a lily as it’s my wife’s favourite flower and I thought it fitted the heart theme.
And the X Series box inner? Well that was used for the shot on the right. See, Fujifilm even produce creative packaging as well as great cameras!

Planning for your retirement and other long-range financial goals is an essential step – one that could make achieving those goals easier.
Growing and retaining wealth takes more than just investing. Along the way, you must plan to manage risk and defer or reduce taxes. A comprehensive financial plan addresses those priorities while defining your investment approach. It also changes over time, to reflect changes in your life and your financial objectives.
With a plan, you can set short-term and long-term goals and benchmarks. You can estimate the amount of money you will likely need to meet retirement, college, and health care expenses. You can plot a way to wind down your business or exit your career with confidence. You can also get a good look at your present financial situation – where you stand in terms of your assets and liabilities, the distance between where you are financially and where you would like to be.
With stable, lifetime income streams from employer pensions and Social Security playing an ever shrinking role, retirement income planning demands that each individual accept a higher degree of personal responsibility for both accumulating and managing the assets needed to pay for retirement. And managing these assets has to be done in a world where constant inflation, fluctuating interest rates, and sometimes volatile financial markets are a fact of life. In addition, the extended life span means the money you save has to last longer, although exactly how long is unknown.
We see the transition to retirement as a time of shifting priorities. As the era of accumulating assets winds down, individuals’ expectations for their investment portfolios begin to change. Generating a monthly income to cover living expenses becomes the dominant concern. Retirement brings a change in mindset. Instead of “How much can I make?” the question becomes “How can I make it last?”
We provide our clients with comprehensive wealth planning and access to their own personal financial portal within our wealth management system. This portal gives clients a variety of account viewing options and the ability to download and print reports including balance sheets, digital vault contents, asset allocations, and more. Through this platform, we also have the ability to anticipate, alert and remind our clients of the financial factors that may impact their ability to achieve their goals.
Building a strategic investment plan to navigate the rail to your financial future can be complex, and comes with many twists and turns. This is why we begin with you. We start by understanding where you are, what your goals are, and then help you develop the strategy to get you there.
Tactically managed portfolios are designed to help investors avoid large drops and enable them to participate when markets are trending higher. By employing this type of strategy, clients are able to reduce portfolio risks, without being forced to use traditional bond/equity combinations. Therefore, in times when equity markets are expanding, there are greater allocations to equities when the markets are in great danger or large losses, the portfolio automatically reduces risk.
Strategic portfolios use fundamental analytics to properly allocate based upon Modern Portfolio Theory and macroeconomic data. The combination influences slight allocation shifts to optimize the risk/return expectation of the portfolio. Quarterly re-balances are performed to keep the portfolio from drifting away from the portfolio objectives.
The right use of a well-designed insurance strategy can help create and protect wealth for both family and business needs. We have extensive experience in assessing your insurance needs, your overall financial picture, and the insurance that would best fit your situation.
We will utilize a comprehensive review process that will help analyze your current insurance strategy as well as assess any adjustments and changes that would help optimize your options. We look at all types of insurance options including:
Through the review process, we can determine if you have enough coverage, if you have the right coverage, and if your coverage is properly structured.
Life insurance is designed to help solve the problems created when someone dies prematurely. An annuity, on the other hand, is designed to protect against the possibility of living too long. An “fixed indexed” annuity is a contract between an individual and an insurance company. In exchange for a single, lump-sum premium, the insurance company agrees to begin paying a regular income to the purchase for a period of years or life.
There are different types of annuities and purchasing an annuity can form an important part of a retirement income plan. However, annuities can be complex products to navigate. This is where we can help. We have the knowledge and experience to help you find the type of annuity that is right for your retirement income plan.
*Annuity guarantees are backed by the financial strength and claims paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Financial products and services if recommended may include investment advisory fees, commissions and/or other charges.
Through your personal financial portal you will have the ability to aggregate all of the important data within your financial world and access a consolidated, real-time financial snapshot from anywhere at any time.
Our financial planning system will help to give you a better understanding of where you are today, what it might take to get you to tomorrow, and where you may be able to expand your financial plan.
This portal gives you the power to view and monitor accounts and asset allocations, download and print reports, create budgets, and even alert you of the financial factors that may impact your ability to achieve your goals.
In addition, you will be able to view calculators that show the possible outcome of changes to your plan based on items such as age, short-term and long-term goal funding, savings goals and alterations to your asset allocations.

This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Rachel Martin. At least 800 people have been killed in Egypt since the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi last month and the subsequent protests launched by his supporters. Yesterday, a Cairo mosque was the scene of a struggle between police and soldiers and Morsi supporters who had taken shelter there.
The Obama administration is in a difficult situation with its Egypt policy.
President Obama, who often talks about free speech and human rights, has cancelled joint military exercises with Egypt but has stopped short of cutting off aid to the Egyptian military. As the violence continues in the streets of Cairo and other Egyptian cities, all sides seem unhappy with the U.S. approach.
In 2009, on his first trip to the Middle East as president, in the same year he won the Nobel Peace Prize, Obama spoke of a new approach to relations with the Islamic world.

Eggplant salad, a traditional Romanian dish
This recipe is dedicated to Ida, the maternal grandmother of my friend, who inspired this creation.
It has a particular quality of freshness though the eggplants go through a process of deep cooking. It is as if two opposite qualities come together to create a balance with few carefully chosen ingredients.
Here the important part is the method of cooking the eggplants. They need to be throughly cooked to arrive at just the right texture of its flesh that will be used for the salad.
Try this unusual recipe and see how this alchemy works for yourself.
3-4 medium to large eggplants
1 small yellow onion
2 tablespoons of sunflower oil
salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 1 tablespoon of vinegar
Option 1: on a grill
1. Bring the temperature of the grill between medium to low. (If it is too hot, the eggplants will burn on the outside before the inside is cooked. )
2. Pierce the eggplants in few places and grill them on each side, turning them regularly, until the skin is burned. Depending on their size, you should grill the eggplants somewhere between 20 to 40 minutes or until the skin is evenly charred and the eggplant collapses. The flesh should be really soft.
Option 2: on a stove
1. Put the eggplants in an open pan and use medium heat. Do not cover the pan. This might create some smoking. Make sure that there is good air circulation to evacuate the smoke.
2. Turn regularly with a pair of tongs making sure that the skin is burnt on all sides.
3. Cook until the skin is evenly charred and the flesh of the eggplants very soft (about 40min to 1h).
4. Remove them from the stove.
When the eggplants are cooked, let them rest on a tray for a few minutes and add salt to the skin. Let the eggplants cool.
NOTE: The above mentioned two ways of cooking will give a taste that comes from the traditional cuisine of this recipe. However, you can also bake them in the oven. To do this, preheat the oven to 400F / 200C and bake them for about 45 minutes to 1 hour - until the flesh of the eggplant is very soft.
To make the salad:
Carefully remove all the skin and the salt, place the eggplants in a sieve and let drain for about half an hour to an hour. This step will remove the juice from the eggplant which may be bitter. Chop the eggplants well with a knife. The texture can vary: it can be more fibrous like a salsa or more like tapenade or hummus. Place the eggplants in a bowl and add sunflower oil, salt, pepper, vinegar and chopped onion. Mix all the ingredients well.
Serve on fresh crispy bread. Tomatoes can be added on the side.

Crossing the USA by song
Along with great company and a thirst for exploration, another key ingredient to a fun and memorable US road trip is a great soundtrack. Our senior cartographer, James, mapped us a route across America - in song...
While many of us now rely on satellite radio during a long drive, others still prefer to whip up original playlists of their own. Making these playlists can be a fun exercise in itself, especially if you're sharing the trip with somebody who may not be up to speed with all your favourite tunes.
But perhaps there is a bit of a loss, as well. The thousands of small local radio stations across the USA are slowly being replaced by instant access to thousands of songs on demand. The country and rock heartlands, the jazz and alternative-tinged coasts, along with the soul and gospel stations of the south are gradually being abandoned – the audio equivalent of the loss of local back roads and byways to the Interstate, perhaps?
It’s a shame as travel and music have always been the keenest of bedfellows, and exploring and discovering both new sounds and places is always rewarding.
Inspired by the landscape
From the wandering minstrels of the Middle Ages to the touring megastars jetting around the globe today, a change of location and sense of the new remain a true muse to the musician. Being stuck in a tour bus or limo does mean that you get to see a lot of the country after all; beautifully, if somewhat distantly, summed up by the late David Bowie in this interview conducted in the back of a limo crossing the deserts of America in the 1970s.
The excitement and thrill of discovering somewhere and something new can sometimes only best be explained in song.
I myself am very fond of geographically referenced tracks (I am a cartographer after all), and it’s pleasing to hear locations name-checked in song, especially if they are known to me. The artists I have grown fond of over the years seem to have a solid selection of tracks about places. From the Shangri-La's to Bob Dylan, Dr John to Public Enemy – it seems everyone I listen to has a song about somewhere; and more often than not, that somewhere is in the USA.
So to the music map challenge...
I chose one of the routes we have in the Insight Guides: On the Road guide and tried to follow it…musically. I esentially created a spatially correct mixtape using tracks that are named for, and perhaps linked to, specific locations along the route.
So I give you the musical map for Insight's northern route across the USA.
I assumed that the northern route would be trickier than the others as, other than Boston and Chicago, I wasn’t immediately familiar with any tracks that might name-check the route. But I was pleasantly surprised at how many I managed to get to fall into place.
Please feel free to add any destination-based tracks along the route.

Hello everyone! I'm so excited to share my first layout using the Noel Mignon monthly kits. This month's kit is called Happy Together and I received the awesome classic kit. When I initially went through the supplies, the one thing that stood out to me was the donuts!
And I have some donut pictures! I loved the large donut sticker on the Pebbles sticker sheet and wanted to incorporate it creatively. I decided to make that part of my title by substituting it for the "O" in my title.
I highlighted it by also adding one of the sparkly pink bows on it. I loved the Illustrated Faith paper that already had some pattern on the corners so I decided to keep the layering simple by just adding one long strip of Crate Paper chevron patterned paper and leaving it at that. The bag from our local donut shop was just a perfect addition and I used it like a second photo and used it to hold my journaling and a few embellishments.
I also wanted to add a couple pops of yellow by using another circular element with the "Hello" die cut and the Heidi Swapp "This" arrow pointing to the donuts in the picture. I also added one smaller pop of yellow in the upper corner to create that visual triangle.
I used one of the Jillibean Soup wood veneer words and dressed it up with the Tim Holtz Distress Crayon (in Picked Raspberry) to help it stand out. I added it right on top of the donut on the paper bag. I love the little pop of darker pink it adds.
For the journaling, I added this "Today" tag to the paper bag and journaled about how my husband occasionally will get up early in the morning on his days off and surprise us with a box of donuts for breakfast. It's always such a special treat!
Thanks so much for joining me today, I hope you like the layout I made! For more on the kits and to get one of your own, please check out the site: www.noelmignon.com
Have a great week and I'll see you again next Friday with another layout!

Summer Evening Titanic Quarter Belfast Engagement: Lisa & Connor
It was another Sunny June evening that we went out with Lisa and Connor for their Titanic Quarter Belfast Engagement Shoot, We had a fab time with these guys just wandering around the quay before heading up to the Titanic Building and the slipway. Before swinging back around to the SS Nomadic. Its so nice to get out in the evenings in the summer time. That’s Something we really miss during the long winter months. The light is so lovely and it just feels like you have so much more time to get great shots with a couple. Especially in urban areas like this which can be really busy during the weekends.

An MSI Intel ARC GPU is on the way, as the company is about to join the A380 fold alongside ASRock and Gunnir. The entry-level graphics card will make its way to pre-built gaming PCs, but there’s no word on whether it’ll be available to buy outside of China.
Unlike existing Intel Arc GPUs, the upcoming MSI A380 doesn’t require extra PSU connections, as it can run on PCIe slot power. This could give it an edge when it comes to low-profile gaming PC builds, as it means you won’t need to squeeze in the best power supply and extra cables. That said, the card’s 75W TDP can be attributed to the fact it sticks to reference specs, as this particular model lacks factory-overlocking.
Of course, the MSI graphics card’s low TDP is likely to appeal more to low-spec enthusiasts assembling a system rather than pre-build shoppers, but it’ll be the latter who’ll encounter it first. The AIB partner is set to pair the GPU with an Intel Core i3-10105F, i5-10400F or i5-12400F gaming CPU, with price tags ranging between 3,599 and 4,399 RMB, roughly $530-650 USD (via Videocardz).
Intel is slowly, but surely, making its way down the best graphics card track, but it’ll have to keep jogging to keep up with Nvidia and AMD. While the blue team recently compared its A750 to an RTX 3060 in a performance showcase video, and it apparently comes out swinging. However, its GPU contenders aren’t equipped to deal with heavy upcoming heavy-weight RTX 4000 and RDNA 3 challengers, at least when it comes to raw performance.
Performance isn’t the only factor overshadowing Intel’s graphics card debut, as it’s failing to entice AIB partners to get on board. According to Igor’s Lab, a board partner has dropped out of producing Arc GPUs due to “quality concerns” – a foreboding sign that could harm the company’s future endeavours. It’s also worth noting that we’re still waiting on Arc cards making their way outside of China, so we’ll need to wait and see whether Alchemist actually gets a proper global release.

TEL-AVIV, Israel, May 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- 2breathe Technologies Ltd., a pioneer in developing digital therapeutic devices, today announced that 2breathe™, a new smart, connected device tackling sleeplessness via a patented guided-breathing technology, is now publicly available. The new product, will be showcased at Israel's premier health and life sciences industry event IATI-BIOMED on May 26, 2016.
2breathe broadly-patented technology grew out of a FDA-cleared device for non-drug treatment of hypertension and stress, RESPeRATE, used by hundreds of thousands of doctors and patients. RESPeRATE's one "side effect" was that users reported dozing off during the session and improved sleep. The Company adapted the technology for smartphones and created the 2breathe platform to induce sleep.
2breathe uses smart, connected technology to deliver the ancient wisdom of sleep-inducing breathing exercises in an easy and effective manner. A sensor worn around the torso picks up the user's inhale and exhale movements sending it to an iOS app via low energy Bluetooth. The app transforms, in real time, the breathing into tones that gradually guide the user to prolonged exhalation and slow breathing. Within minutes, neural sympathetic activity is reduced, the user begins to disassociate from both external and internal stimuli, and the mind and body relax into sleep. Once sleep is detected, 2breathe automatically shuts off and generates a report showing the falling asleep process breath-by-breath.
"We believe that tracking sleep is nice, but inducing sleep is better," said Erez Gavish, Co-Founder and CEO. "164 million Americans struggle with sleep at least once a week which is not surprising considering the extent of modern day work schedules and life stresses. We're excited to be able to offer a real breakthrough to help those who can not 'shut off' their minds and fall asleep."
About 2breathe Technologies Ltd.
2breathe Technologies Ltd. (www.2breathe.com) and its founders are pioneers in the development of the digital therapeutic devices field, first in hypertension and now in sleeplessness. The original product, RESPeRATE® (www.resperate.com), is the world's first FDA-cleared, non-drug hypertension treatment device now used by hundreds of thousands of patients and featured in the American Heart Association statement on non-pharmacological treatments. The new product, 2breathe™, adopts RESPeRATE guided-breathing technology for individuals who have difficulties falling asleep. 2breathe is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose or treat medical conditions.

Wash-out in Wujiang
- Tuesday 23rd October 2018
Oct 23rd; 2018
The penultimate IFSC World Cup Lead competition last weekend in Wujiang, China was quite literally a wash-out. Heavy rain wet the holds on the headwall of the final routes to such a degree that the IFSC were forced to cancel the final round of the competition and to use the results from the semi-final round to decide the event winners!
As many of the climbers said it was an unfortunate way to end the competition but by the time that Janja Garnbret came out to climb the final route the final holds were actually wet and she was being rained on! Justifiably she appealed and the IFSC were forced to abandon the whole women’s final. Under the circumstances the men’s final round never even started.
Based on the countback to the semi-finals, both Janja Garnbret and Jain Kim were tied as both had topped both the qualification routes and hit the same hold in the semi-final. Jessica Pilz finished in third place.
The 2017 Lead champion, Romain Desgranges, had climbed really well in the men’s semi-final – a result which ultimately gave him the gold at Wujiang – the first of the season for him. Jakob Schubert finished in second place with Hyunbin Min in third.
The final lead competition for 2018, Xiamen, is scheduled for this coming weekend.
Watch the highlights from Wujiang below.


Houston girl says man molested her while mom was at work
Updated 2:36 pm, Wednesday, May 8, 2013
A Houston man is behind bars at the Harris County Jail, accused of molesting an 8-year-old girl while her mother was at work, and threatening to have her killed if she told anyone about it, Harris County prosecutors said.
Oscar Cruz, 52, has been charged with felony indecency with a child, court records show. A judge set his bail at $30,000.
The girl, now 15, told Harris County investigators that the suspect began touching her over her clothing in October 2005, when she was about 8, at their northwest Houston home, according to a criminal complaint filed in the case.
After the alleged incident, the girl and her mother, 43, moved in with the suspect at his Harris County home because the mother worked part-time and needed financial help from him, prosecutors said.
The girl told investigators that the touching escalated from there.
"The complainant (victim) said she tried to avoid coming home from school, because her mother would be at work, leaving her at home with the defendant," according to the complaint. Cruz, a tree cutter, schedules his own hours, the girl told deputies.
On another occasion in 2010, Cruz asked the girl to read something for him because he is illiterate, prosecutors said. As the girl read a letter for him, he allegedly rubbed himself against the girl, according to the complaint.
She told him to stop, saying "it's not right," and the suspect replied, "If it's not right, people wouldn't do it," the arrest warrant states.
The girl began to retreat to her bedroom when Cruz grabbed her and forced her into his bedroom, where he pulled his pants and underwear down to his ankles, then unbuttoned her pants and tried to pull them down, prosecutors said.
Cruz stopped, however, when the girl's mother arrived home, according to the criminal complaint.
The girl told investigators that she delayed telling her mother about the incidents because the mother and the suspect were having relationship problems.
She told deputies that Cruz has threatened her, "saying if she told someone, he knows people who can kill her," according to the complaint.
Cruz has previous convictions for cruelty to animals, driving while intoxicated (first and second offenses), failure to stop and give information, and theft, court records show.


MADRID – One month after the political elections, the Italian election campaign is opening up space in Spanish newspapers. Indeed, in the Iberian country, interest is growing in a political event that is considered “decisive” because it involves one of Madrid’s main European partners, for example on major issues such as the energy issue. One of the statements that caused controversy in Italy was published today in a Spanish newspaper – El Periódico -. Words and music by Democratic Party leader Enrico Letta who denounced in an interview: “Russia has entered this election campaign. There is a strong interference by Russia in favor of the right.”
Possible interference from Moscow is a topic that is in fact hovering strongly over the Italian run-up to the elections. Lita’s words came as a press investigation by international media, including La Repubblica, condemned the activities of an alleged Kremlin spy at the NATO base in Naples.
According to the Secretary General of the Democratic Republic of El Periódico, “Russia’s strong intervention “in Italy” in favor of the right, because (Moscow) knows that “the position of (PD) will continue to be in harmony with the position against Putin.” The words were rejected, according to reports by the American news agency (ANSA), both by Lega, by both Brothers of Italy, and Forza Italia, the three centre-right parties.
Today’s El País editorial also focuses on the rise of conservative parties, which polls have given them as favorites. The opinion piece in Italy stated that a “decisive electoral campaign” had begun “for the future of Europe”. With the “third economy of the eurozone” that “could be led by a right-wing coalition whose majority party is xenophobic, far-right and nationalist populist” (in reference to the Brothers of Italy).
El Pais adds that, on the other side of the political chessboard, a “disordered and confused center left, divided into three blocks”, will appear at the polls next September 25. 5 Stars and a Third Polo by Carlo Calenda and Matteo Renzi, the Iberian newspaper adds , “They lose their power, with little chance of success compared to the right-wing coalition.”
According to the editorial, “Democratic Party leader Enrico Letta’s challenge to Meloni may be a last resort so that Italy does not end up under the control of a government with a clearly Eurosceptic profile, with frank sympathy for (Hungarian) nationalist populist Viktor Orbán and a desire to reclaim part of the worst history of contemporary Europe.” “.
In the Italian elections this year, there will be three candidates in the European constituency residing in Spain: Marisa Pavel for the Democratic Party, Giuseppe Stapel and Alessandro Zhentner for the right.
In the interview with El Periódico, Enrico Letta said polls not only give the center-right an advantage, but also indicate that “45% of voters are undecided” and that the Democratic Party will run on “the undecided and abstainers”. to “convince them of the risks that are being handled with the right”.
With regard to the pre-election programme, the General Secretary of the Democratic Party believes that the priority should be to “start as soon as possible” the post-Covid recovery plan with European funds “to cap the price of energy” as has already happened in Spain recently, to “fight the climate crisis” reduce inequality and “drastically lower taxes on employment”. On the question: “Will he continue to lead the Democratic Party in the event of defeat?” , Lita replied: “We will win …”.

In the end, Suicide Guy is a surprisingly goofy romp through the dreams of a typical slob. The story isn't the deepest, but it gets points for subverting expectations and not being a cliche. The variety of level designs and clever methods of completion are refreshing. It provides a fun little challenge without becoming a chore.
Suicide Guy is not the disaster we feared it would be, and in places it's actually rather funny. The title's randomness stops its campaign from getting stale, and there are actually some cunning puzzles here that are fun to solve. Despite all of that, though, it's quite a disposable game that's fun while it lasts but will be quickly forgotten.
There's fun to be had in Suicide Guy. There's a nice variety of situations and environments and exploring each stage can be a blast. The technical problems are what ultimately drag Suicide Guy down. Still, if you can get past the bugs and glitches, there's a nifty little puzzle game waiting for you on the eShop.
While it has genuinely great moments, Suicide Guy has a few too many bugs as well as being incredibly short. The physics themselves don't always work as they are supposed to, a definite issue in a physics puzzle game. Not a bad game, but not a good one either despite it's high points.
Suicide Guy is a game where the purpose is to kill yourself, and while this could actually offer a disturbingly entertaining time, the end result is nothing but a simplistic physics puzzler of no importance.
All in all I was amused enough to finish the game if just to see what the other levels had to offer. This game is rough to look at sometimes but not horrible. And it never took away from the game being entertaining.
Suicide Guy is an interesting game with a weird premise that sets things up. The stages are colorful, and they each have a nice variety of small puzzles to solve and several collectibles to find. I was a bit skeptical since first-person puzzle games can go either way, but this one manages to do things right.
Suicide Guy has a fresh albeit morbid premise.
Suicide Guy is not about suicide or depression. It's a lighthearted game about a guy who has to wake up from a dream to keep his beer from spilling on his floor. Although the levels are varied, the unreliable physics and frustrating platforming kept me from enjoying this game more. If you like the so bad it's good genre, this may give you some enjoyment. Otherwise, it is not the worst game that will be released this year, but it has too many negatives to overcome for me to recommend it.
Suicide Guy does manage some things well. It is an adequately silly ode to Saturday Morning Hanna Barbera and a time when cartoon violence was considered slapstick. Suicide Guy is an attempt to do something different but ultimately fails to be much more than a mild distraction from the gent in the seat two rows back that we call Thundersnore.

PIRA do not direct military ops here says O'Sullivan
Garda Commissioner Nóirín O'Sullivan has maintained that while people associated with paramilitary activity continue to meet south of the border, they are not operating as an army council.
The Garda chief was defending a report into military structures in the South, which differed from a PSNI report that found Provisional IRA members believe an army council oversees Sinn Féin.
"It's true to say that in some cases, some persons who had been associated with PIRA are now involved with political groupings," she said.
However, she said a report carried out here found no evidence in this jurisdiction that the Provisional IRA army council continue to meet or continue to exist in the form that was once assumed.
"So, in other words, they do not meet to direct military operations and I think that's a very important distinction to make," she said.
Asked if the army council meet in the Republic for reasons other than military, she replied: "There is no doubt that people who have been associated with PIRA continue to associate, and it's like any group of people who have been members of an organisation or association, if they continue to associate.
"However, the fact is that when they associate, they're not associating in the capacity of operating as an army council."
She added that the report also showed that some members of what were known as the Provisional IRA remain involved in criminality. However, she stressed this was now "for personal gain".
Meanwhile, Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald has said Sinn Féin has "questions to answer" following the PSNI assessment that IRA members believe the army council oversees the political party.
Ms Fitzgerald described the claim as a "revelation", calling it "disturbing".
"Those are the questions that Sinn Féin has to answer and it's for other parties as well to reflect on it. No doubt a range of political parties will have questions on that. I think the serious follow-on question is what is the impact on the South in relation to that activity that happens in the North?
"What I'd like to see now is a focus on this issue in the talks and the acceptance of the reality of the descriptions that are in both of these reports by all political parties, including Sinn Féin, and attention to them and action taken," she added.
Ms Fitzgerald also stressed that Gerry Adams must now address long-standing questions about his own past.
Asked if it was credible for the Sinn Féin leader to now insist he was never in the IRA, the minister said the time for ambiguity was "long gone".
"That's a question a lot of people ask on an ongoing basis and we always get the same answer," she said.
"And I agree with the Taoiseach that the point for ambiguity is long gone. It's well over 10 years now, we really need this paramilitary legacy to be finished once and for all."

Preventing alcohol use among American Indian and rural youth
At a Glance
- Two distinct prevention strategies reduced alcohol use among American Indian and other youth living in rural communities.
- The findings add to evidence that such interventions can help reduce alcohol problems in diverse communities.
American Indian teens drink at rates similar to other U.S. teens, but they have higher rates of alcohol use before age 15 and higher rates of alcohol problems. Rural teens in general are also at increased risk for alcohol misuse. Early prevention is critical in these populations. However, solutions for underage drinking haven’t been well studied in these groups.
To address this gap, a team led by Dr. Kelli A. Komro of Emory University worked with the Cherokee Nation to test 2 strategies to reduce underage drinking and its consequences. The study was conducted within the Cherokee Nation area of northeastern Oklahoma. Cherokee citizens constitute nearly half the population, but whites and other racial/ethnic minorities also live within the area. The study was supported by NIH’s National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) and National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). It was published in the March 2017 issue of the American Journal of Public Health.
One of the strategies was a community-organizing intervention called Communities Mobilizing for Change on Alcohol (CMCA). Teams of adults were trained to take actions to reduce youth access to alcohol in their communities through both social and commercial sources. In the other strategy, known as CONNECT, full-time school social workers conducted brief one-on-one consultations with each student each semester to encourage healthy drinking behaviors. Students who reported high-risk drinking attended follow-up sessions and were referred to specialty treatment when appropriate.
Six communities, each served by a single high school, participated in the study. Students were in 9th or 10th grade when the study began, and were followed for 3 years. Students in 2 communities received both interventions. Those in 2 communities served as controls and received neither intervention. One of the remaining communities used only CMCA. The other used only CONNECT. A total of more than 1,600 students participated.
The researchers found that alcohol use, including any use and heavy drinking episodes (5 or more drinks on at least one occasion) in the past 30 days, was significantly reduced among students receiving either or both interventions. CMCA alone reduced alcohol use by 25% and any alcohol-related consequences by 22%. CONNECT alone reduced alcohol use by 22% and alcohol-related consequences by 23%.
“The 2 distinct interventions alone and in combination resulted in similar patterns of effect across time,” Komro notes, “but, interestingly, we found no evidence that the 2 interventions combined had significantly greater effects than either alone.”
Other prevention activities unrelated to the study were reported in the communities. These can affect the results of the study. In addition, outcomes were based on student self-reports, which aren’t always accurate. Finally, school leadership knew which study condition their school was assigned, potentially affecting outcomes. Nevertheless, the study results were significant. They were also consistent with previous findings in other groups showing that these interventions can significantly reduce youth alcohol use.
- Study Shows Increase in Problem Drinking
- Youth Interventions Lower Prescription Drug Abuse
- Genes Help Predict Response to Alcoholism Treatment
- Campus and Community Can Reduce College Drinking
- Early Drinking Linked to Higher Lifetime Alcoholism Risk
- Underage Drinking

NORTON, Mass. – Keegan Bradley entered the FedExCup Playoffs with high hopes, playing the first week at The Barclays on a course he was very familiar with (Black Course at Bethpage State Park) and then coming to his native New England for this week’s Deutsche Bank Championship.
But he missed the cut at The Barclays and then sweated out his status this week before making the cut on the number at TPC Boston.
In Sunday’s third round, however, he finally woke up, shooting a 8-under 63 that moved him inside the top 20 on the leaderboard. He’s now at 6 under for the tournament – probably too far back to make a final-round run at the leaders but certainly within striking distance of a top-10 finish.
“My grandma told me to shoot 63 today,” Bradley wrote on his Twitter account (@Keegan_Bradley) after his round. “She’s here for her first tournament and I needed to make that putt at 18 to do it."
The 63 is Bradley’s low round of the year, one better than the 64 he shot in the final round to win the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational. It was also just two strokes off the course record and second lowest round of the week.
Bradley set the tone for his round with an eagle at the par-5 second when he knocked his second shot within 8 feet. He added three more birdies before the turn, including a 21-foot putt at the sixth and an approach shot to 1-1/2 feet at the ninth.
His birdie at the ninth was the first of three consecutive birdies. The only blemish on the day was a bogey at the 17th.
Another player who needed a good round Sunday was Sean O’Hair, who also made the cut on the number after making eagle on his final hole Saturday. O’Hair has not been happy with his putting (click here for story) but he rolled in three putts outside 10 feet, including a 33-foot eagle putt on the 18th hole Sunday for a 2-under 69.

Grapes are grown as table fruit, wine fruit and to dry into raisins. The fruit is born on vines that can live more than 100 years and still produce grapes. Caring for grapevines is necessary for continued growth and production of fruit.
Proper care of grapevines helps produce abundant crops.
Prune vines when they are dormant.
Prune grapevines when they are dormant. The amount of pruning is species dependent; some require heavy pruning, and others only light cutting.
Established vines have only moderate fertilizer requirements.
Once vines are established, fertilize moderately. Excessive fertilization causes excessive wood and leaf growth and reduced fruiting.
Extended draught damages and kills grapevines.
The grapevine requires moderate irrigation. The soil should not be allowed to dry out for extended periods or the plant will suffer.
A number of trellising methods are used to train vines.
A number of methods for trellising and training vines have been developed. Choose a suitable trellising method for the space you have available and train the vines on it.
Heavy bunches of grapes result from proper care and attention.
Two vines require a minimum of an eight-by-eight-foot area for growing. A trellis that reaches across the space can be used to train two vines in any of a number of methods.

This shreveport has a simple, elegant design with a wide range of colors, shapes and patterns. The shreveport is finished in a bright, open space in the center of the house and is available in two colors, grey and white. I like both the grey and white color combos. The shreveport is the one color I like the most.
The main character in the trailer is a young woman called Katrin, who lives in a secret place surrounded by her friends. She’s been wandering around the house in search of her friends for a while, and the first thing she’ll notice are the shadows on the walls. The shadows are quite large and very close to where she’s standing, and the two women are not too far apart from each other.
Katrin is actually a character in our game, but she’s a member of the crew, and we’re not showing her in the game at all. I think it’s a shame to have her get the short end of the stick because she’s actually a really cool character.
For one thing, its nice to see a woman of color wearing a sun suit. For another, the shadows are just nice. I mean, I get that this has been a long time since we’ve seen a woman of color in the game, but its pretty cool to see a woman in sun gear.
As a matter of fact, I just saw a picture of Sunnyside in the game. The sun-suit and the rest of the sun furniture are a great idea in general and the shading effect on this sun chair is just beautiful.
When you think of the sun, its pretty easy to see the beauty in it. For instance, the way the light hits and reflects off of the clouds is beautiful. But I dont think sunsets are very important to Sunnyside, because there are plenty of other pretty sunsets in the game, which are important to keep in mind.
I love how the Sunnyside sunbeds have a real cool and cool color scheme to them. I love the way the blue and yellow shades of the sunbeds bounce off of the clouds, then become a light blue when it hits the sun. That’s what really makes the light and the shade seem so cool. I would also love to see the sun-suit worn by Colt Vahn.
The sunsuit is definitely a cool idea, but I think it would be a great idea if we were able to see it. I think Colt Vahn’s outfit would be a great combination of his past, his current self, and his upcoming future. Plus, I think the suits would make the game look a little weird.
Yes, it will be a cool idea, but I think it would actually be a really weird game. I mean, I can see it as a video game, but not really in real life. I think the idea of the sun-suits would be a cool idea, but if we had to wear something like that in real life, then it probably would be a big ugly.
As it turns out, Colt Vahn’s idea of a sun suit is to be a guy. It seems like a good idea, though, because it gives us the opportunity to interact with him a little bit more. One interesting thing is how we’re able to do this. We can see the sun, but that doesn’t mean we get to actually interact with it. There’s a camera that follows Colt around the island, and we get to interact with him by shooting him with a gun.

That old saying, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all” must have fallen on deaf ears at the Natalie Maines household. The Dixie Chicks vocalist rode a storm of criticism on her own Twitter page after cracking a joke at Jason Aldean‘s expense during the 2012 Grammy Awards on Sunday night.
Blake Shelton begged, pleaded and insulted his fellow coaches to woo contestants during Monday night’s (Feb. 13) episode of ‘The Voice‘ on NBC. He added three new team members, including Erin Willett, a 22-year-old from Gaithersburg, Md.
Miranda Lambert found herself seated next to Lady Gaga at the 2012 Grammy Awards on Sunday night and learned that behind the veil — or egg or meat dress — is a girl with a big heart. The two became fast friends during the ceremony.
The 2012 Grammy Awards continue to be good to Lady Antebellum. The country trio scored big again on Sunday night, ousting five other country stars to win the Best Country Album award for their latest album, ‘Own the Night.’
Maybe someone forgot to put fresh batteries in Jason Aldean‘s microphone, because the singer’s voice went silent during his duet performance of ‘Don’t You Wanna Stay’ at the 2012 Grammy Awards on Sunday night. What started as a wonderful collaboration became an awkward moment that Aldean and Kelly Clarkson managed to make the most of.
Taylor Swift didn’t even have time to set down her first award at the 2012 Grammy Awards before her name was called again. The singer emerged from just offstage to accept the award for Best Country Song during a webcast prior to the official television broadcast.
Taylor Swift is one-for-one at the 2012 Grammy Awards. The 22-year-old country superstar was on hand to accept her award for Best Country Solo Performance for ‘Mean’ during a pre-show webcast prior to the Sunday night broadcast on CBS.
Eighties rocker Bret Michaels of Poison has revealed that he enjoyed Thanksgiving at Loretta Lynn‘s Hurricane Mills, Tenn. ranch, and afterward the two collaborated on a few songs. Rolling Stone reports that Michaels and Lynn are going to re-record his band’s 1988 hit ‘Every Rose Has Its Thorn’ for Michaels’ upcoming solo album.
As Glen Campbell took the stage at the 2012 Grammy Awards on Sunday night, more than a few fans and friends in the audience looked nervous, not sure how the country legend would do during a celebration of his life and career. Halfway through his song ‘Rhinestone Cowboy’ however, everyone breathed more than a sigh of relief. In fact, they were dancing in the aisles — literally.
Taylor Swift has performed ‘Mean’ at award shows before, but Sunday night’s performance at the 2012 Grammy Awards felt a little more personal. The country superstar was soaring with confidence after winning two awards for the third single from ‘Speak Now’ earlier in the night.
Should Brantley Gilbert have to give an acceptance speech at the 2012 ACM Awards in April, he tells Taste of Country he’ll pretty much wing it. The singer says he won’t come prepared with notes, or a written list of thank yous.

The Lasik operation can be a fantastic, life-changing choice for many people whose vision is less than perfect. There are a number of various kinds of Lasik operations now readily available, from the initial and well recorded treatment to Lasik treatments made with 3 dimensional wavefronts, or done totally with lasers. Each of these variations of the Lasik treatment should be discussed with the physician that is to carry out the operation.
Like any surgical treatment, Lasik does have the capacity for side effects.
Sometimes checking out the scary stories of the results of a Lasik treatment can prevent people from seriously considering such a option. It is likewise real that the large numbers of people who have a successful, hassle-free Lasik surgical treatment tend not to report a long and in-depth story of their experience, unlike those that have experienced trouble afterward.
It is great to know exactly what the possible side results of the Lasik procedure are, and also the probability that one of these side results will happen for a particular client. Just like any medication we take, each has a possible variety of negative effects, however we usually assume that the probability of a major side effect is small, and we take the medication anyway. This post will hopefully put concerns of the potential Lasik client into point of view so that they can calmly and attentively ponder having a Lasik treatment done in the future.
More than one million Lasik procedures are carried out in the US every year, according to the FDA. This arm of the nationwide government has built up the following data for the most common adverse effects of the Lasik treatment. These statistics will also vary by the doctor carrying out the surgery, so ensure to obtain as much information on the prospective Lasik physician as possible.
After Lasik surgical treatment, 1.7 percent of patients experience some glare or sensitivity to light after the operation. This differs by client, however this sensitivity is especially visible when looking at a intense light, such as a streetlight when strolling at night, or other strong light and dark contrast. Another light related negative effects is a halo around a light, and this takes place in 3.5 percent of Lasik patients.
The brand-new, fixed vision can be discovered quickly by some Lasik clients, in just a few hours after surgical treatment. A lot of patients that have actually undergone the Lasik treatment find the change is irreversible within a few days. In 2.6 percent of customers that have actually had a Lasik treatment done, there is persistent visual change within at least a part of their sphere of vision.
Finally, some clients do see page not get a totally remedied sphere of vision after their Lasik procedure. This happens with a small number of clients, and the FDA stats are that just 3 percent of clients have this impact. In all or nearly all cases, the physician in charge will carry out an extra Lasik procedure to improve this.
This detailing of the significant long-term side effects of the Lasik treatment must put any personal horror stories into perspective. Notification that none of the portions are above 3 percent, and this must bring comfort to a lot of prospective Lasik clients. It must likewise motivate them to look carefully at the Lasik doctor's personal record.
There are several different types of Lasik operations now readily available, from the original and well documented procedure to Lasik procedures done with three dimensional wavefronts, or check my blog done totally with lasers. It is great to know exactly what the possible side impacts of the Lasik procedure are, and likewise the likelihood that one of these side results will happen for a particular client. A lot of clients that have undergone the Lasik procedure discover the change is long-term within a couple of days. Some clients do not get a completely fixed sphere of vision after their Lasik procedure.
