DIY Dollar Tree Gnome Garland
This DIY Dollar Tree Gnome Garland is an easy & inexpensive craft. It’s a perfect Halloween decoration for small spaces & big ones too!
I’m a little late posting it, but we actually did this little gnome craft on my first night with confirmed ‘Rona. Handan had already been sick a few days, and I tested positive that morning. I was convinced that I’d beat it in a day. That’s how long it usually takes me to beat back an encroaching sickness. But the ‘Rona works in mysterious ways, so instead of the one day I boasted (and bet my babes) on that fateful Sunday evening, it actually took me another ten stinking days to test negative. Yeesh.
She’s the guest who just won’t leave, even though the party’s been shut down for a week.
She’s the gift you never asked for and never wanted who just keeps giving and giving…and giving.
But try as she did, ‘Rona couldn’t break us. My babes and I laughed at her each morning when our lollipops showed positive, worked all day while she tried to drag us back to bed and basically told her to eff off each night as we settled into another Nyquil-induced slumber.
You have two paths with miscreants like Rona: submission or defiance. We chose the latter.
And though I can’t say with certainty that it cured us faster, at least it kept our spirits up and allowed us to GSD around the house instead of whimpering under the covers and waiting for our health to return.
This was the first of our Corona Crafts. The second (which I already posted) was our Gnome Scarecrow Wreath. The third (and one of our favorites – we can’t wait to share it with you!) will drop next week. I also painted our front door and trim (those on Instagram followed along in our Stories), and we got a new concrete patio poured (I’ll be sharing stories on Instagram). We also started completing the dining room brick wall. Hopefully we’ll have that finished this month!
So all-in-all it was a productive two weeks! We’re both negative now, so Rona can go suck an egg. Team Handan and Greg FTW!
Okay, back to today’s project. This is a quick and easy Halloween craft made from Dollar Tree supplies. And yes, there are gnomes involved.
Look, just accept the fact that gnomes are here to stay, and you’ll have a much easier time convincing yourself, that you do, in fact, love them.
I know, I know. Most of you totally do already. But I also know from comments on Instagram and TikTok that there are some gnome haters and gnome deniers out there who are only just now begrudgingly starting to see things our way when it comes to the shaggy dudes with big noses and hidden eyes.

Dollar Tree Gnome Garland VIDEO Tutorial

Dollar Tree Gnome Garland Tutorial
Step 1 – Glue noses on the ghosts
Who knew that ghost + witch hat = gnome? That’s some real peculiar math, if you ask me, but hey, arithmetic was never my strong suit, so who am I to judge?
Okay, let’s start by gluing a split wood ball right on top of the ghost’s nose.
Now, it may have been the fever, but we thought he looked hilarious with a big nose!
Step 2 – Add a hat
Now let’s put a little hot glue on the ghost’s head.
And we’ll follow that up with a witch hat.
Presto! Instant gnome! Now let’s flip him over and glue another witch hat on the back. This is optional if you’re trying to save on witch hats, but it will make the garland look better from behind.
Step 3 – Make a witch hat pumpkin
Now, we could make a whole garland from just witch hats and ghosts, and the world would still turn and the mountains would still stand, but why not mix things up a little and add a little contrast with pumpkins wearing witch hats? Makes as much sense as ghost gnomes if you ask me! So like we did with the ghosts, let’s glue a hat on both sides of the pumpkin. But let’s skip the nose, shall we? Otherwise you’ll end up with Bozo the Pumpkin.
Step 4 – Decorate the hats
From here we have several options. We can leave the gnomes and pumpkins as-is and hang them up, we can give them to the kids for painting, we can wrap ribbons around the hats, or we can Mod Podge some cool scrapbook paper onto the hats to give a cool and classy Halloween vibe. Lucky us, we had some old-world feel scrapbook paper on hand for the job.
For each gnome and pumpkin, we want to cut a piece just slightly bigger than the hat.
Then let’s brush some Mod Podge all over the hat. Don’t be stingy with the glue – you want those edges to stay down!
When the glue is all spread out, let’s then place the piece of scrapbook paper on the hat and press it down really good with our fingers.
Then let’s trim the craft paper from the back with our X-Acto knife.
And finally, it’s going to look really good if we color the edges with a black permanent marker. Don’t worry if you get some on the craft paper – it’s all part of that Halloween vibe!
And that’s it! Hey, he looks great!
Now let’s do a bunch more!
It’s really easy, right? And you can’t beat the price!

How did you attach the twine to create the garland instead of a pile of very cute ghosts and pumpkins?
I slid the twine between the two hats and then used a dot of gel super glue to secure the two hat tips together.
That is just the info I needed! Now to visit Dollar Tree for my supplies (I think you mentioned that they carry gel super glue, too) in several other posts. I’ll be on my way when stores open . Thank you for all the wonderful ideas!
Have fun! 😊
Love! easy hack, if you paint the wood with a thin layer of modge podge, let dry, and then lay paper or napkin on top dried MP, a piece of parchment, and press with a mini iron, or the cricut mini press, Volia’ perfect adhesion, no fear of wrinkles! Love this when I am using tissue or napkins. Off to the dollar store. Love you guys!
Wow, great tip! Thank you so much, Wendy! Geez, you guys are always full of great ideas! 🙂
What a great craft idea! Do you just glue the twine to the back to make the garland?
Thanks, Dawn! I slid the twine between the hats and then glued the hat tips together!
Adorable, as always. I am sure it was the fever, but I do think it would be easier to cut around the witch hat paper before glueing it to the pumpkin. Just saying. Really need to check out my local DT! Bout of tennis elbow (HA!–crafter’s elbow) has let up so I am crafting in small doses again!
You are so right, Kathy! Our original plan for the hats was something different, but we didn’t like how they turned out, so Handan thought of scrapbook paper and Mod Podge!
Glad the virus is out of the house and you’re under Gnomeland Security now! I’m liking the nose on the ghost-gnome, also. It adds an element of ‘cuteness’. Thanks for sharing those super ideas!
Gnomeland Security!!! 😂😂😂😂
Wouldn’t this be a Gnome Gnarland (or Ga-nome Ga-arland, if you want to get silly about it)? This is crazy cute. I do wonder though–when you are wandering through a store, are you always half-thinking about potential craft project and keeping your eyes peeled for gnome-beard shapes? I mean, did you just happen to see the ghosts and think, “Hey! The bottom half of that ghost looks like a gnome beard!” Or did that occur later after you bought all the wood pieces and were messing around with ideas for them? It’s a legit question–I’ve always got a short list of items I’m looking for, no matter what else I may be there to actually buy. Thanks for the project! I want to make some now.
Okay these are really stinking’ cute!
Thanks, Jay! I have to agree with you!
Very cute crafts

Smooth and connected without breaks in the tones.
We all need something to whip up quickly when we need a gift for someone (especially this time of year), but as a hand knitter I always hesitate when considering my knitting for a gift if I don’t really know how it will be received. It isn’t just whether the item will be liked, I find most people like knitted items, but how it will be looked after. Mention hand-wash to most people and it is enough to make them turn to stone. Mention throwing a beloved hand knitted item into the washing machine to a hand knitter and they will do the same! If knitting for children I usually make an exception and knit with something fairly bomb proof, although to be honest, it’s never completely enjoyable as it could be. I just don’t bond with the yarn in the same way and there’s no getting away from the fact that something knitted in natural fibres just looks and wears so much better.
A good yarn makes your knitting look better. In my experience the majority of natural fibres are very forgiving of slight changes in tension between your knit rows and purl rows and other odd idiosyncrasies of pattern. Once blocked, they even out and bloom. Often something lovely turns into something beautiful in the wash. You can’t say that about any pure acrylic yarn (in my opinion). The only exception to this is very fine Merino yarn, but perhaps that’s a discussion for another day. And yes, I know that there is a misconception that all wool yarns are scratchy and difficult to look after, especially here in the U.K for some reason, but that’s just a lack of experience I think. An unwillingness to try anything that isn’t cloud soft. Sometimes you need something with a bit of grip to it to get the best from your knitting. Try knitting fairisle with something silky and you will see what I mean.
So, when I was recently introduced to Elann’s Pippilongcolors yarn, I was delighted to find that not only is it super wash treated wool but soft – very soft in fact.
The ball band states it is a mix of 24 and 26 micron wool. This information means far more to you if you are a hand spinner, but I love the fact that they put this information on the ball band along with the nm 1.8 (the size, aran weight) and the fact that it is z-spun (the direction of twist). Finally a yarn company that actually gives you some real information about the yarn you are knitting with and not just assumes that you couldn’t possibly be interested.
Just to bore you with the finer detail if you don’t handspin. A micron is one millionth of a meter. In this case 24 microns represents a wool fibre of the type from Merino or a very fine Corridale or Shetland sheep. A good Bluefaced Leicester sheep will have a fleece of around the 26 micron count. All these are classed as next to the skin soft. Just as an interesting piece of information, anything below 3 or 4 microns and you couldn’t see it as our eyesight just is not that good. Emperors new clothes springs to mind!
Anyway, where was I? Yes. Gift knitting. So, over the last week I’ve managed to knit up a couple of quick gifts for some girlfriends of mine. None of them are knitters and really can’t understand at all my love of wool, so this yarn is perfect for us all.
Leg warmers / boot toppers and a matching pair of fingerless mittens. They knit up pretty quickly and the rib pattern is interesting enough to stop me from getting bored but makes pretty good T.V. knitting too.
Taking really good photos is difficult with our gloomy weather at the moment.
I love this colour-way. It is called ‘pleased as punch’ but there are several equally lovely colours in the range all with interesting names such as ‘Blaze a trail’ and ‘chasing rainbows’. I have bought some more in a lovely colour-way called ‘Storm in a tea cup’ for my more reserved friends!
This pair of leg-warmers is for my friend who wears leggings and skinny jeans a lot. I have actually colour matched them by reeling off some yarn from the ball until I got to the same place in the sequence that I started with for the first one – but stupidly here one is upside down – if you see what I mean! Of course you don’t need to colour match them at all because they look good anyway.
You can get a pair of leg-warmers and a pair of small or medium fingerless mittens from just two balls of the yarn. The larger mittens paired with the shorter boot toppers also take the same amount.
I tried out the pattern as boot toppers in a plain yarn while waiting for some more to arrive.
These are only 15 cm or 6″ long and will be great for stopping a draught down my boots but I admit that I prefer the Elann yarn.
I have written up the pattern and more information about yarn, yardage etc. is on the pattern page. It is now available to buy from here or through Ravelry and Etsy if you would like to have a go.
If you are in the U.K. the good new is that Elann now sell through Amazon so you can get the yarn (along with their other yarns) here.
The weather here is about to turn much colder so perhaps a little brighter too? Good knitting weather whatever it will be.

The last of our grapes have been harvested, and now as we wait for the winter rain, we are busy preparing the vineyards for dormancy.
Our Nguni herd is a valuable link to the biodynamic chain on our farm and as our composting machines also provide us with preps that will sustain and boost the vineyards during their winter sleep. Biodynamic farming practices work to achieve soil health through compost, diversified crop rotations and incorporation of livestock. As farmers we rely on eight specific preparations for the soil, crops and compost to enhance soil and plant quality, and to stimulate the composting process.
The eight preparations, designated by their ingredients or by numbers 500 to 507, are made from cow manure; silica; the flowers of yarrow, chamomile, dandelion and valerian; oak bark; and the stinging nettle plant. A ninth prep, often referred to as 508, is made from horsetail and is used for fungal disease. During autumn we use prep 500 and prep 501; prep 500 will boost the roots while prep 501 will provide much needed resources to the leaves of the vines.

The porch got a Christmas makeover and all the fall stuff was put away over the weekend. I pretty much used the same stuff from last year, but there are a few subtle changes.
I dressed up my bench and the pots around it.
The sun was a bit bright and I wish it was back. The entire porch is covered in blown snow now.
I put a string of lights on the garland.
I added my trees by the front door and filled the metal containers with Christmas stems.
Now if I could just get those stockings sewn I would be all done.

Landscape Scale Restoration Grant
Puget Sound Region, Washington
City Forest Credits, American Forests, The Nature Conservancy and The Davey Institute were awarded a Landscape Scale Restoration grant from the US Forest Service and Washington Department of Natural Resources. This project brings together multiple partners to produce a regional urban tree canopy assessment and ecosystem valuation for the urban area of Central Puget Sound (King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties). Using best available science, partners will create a Canopy Action Plan for organizations and jurisdictions to prioritize urban forestry projects that support specific ecosystem goals and to achieve the highest return on investment.
The LSR grant will also provide funds to pilot projects using the City Forest Credits carbon projects that can generate carbon credits and new funding sources.
This project ultimately leads to the improved health of communities, people and waters of Puget Sound, as it highlights the gaps and opportunities to enhance urban forests in the region and provides a roadmap for implementation. The Davey Institute, American Forests, and The Nature Conservancy will begin the canopy assessment work in summer 2019. In spring 2020, City Forest Credits will work with grant partners and local stakeholders to generate new funding and new funding partners for urban forest projects.
Doris Duke Charitable Foundation Grant
Nationwide and Rhode Island focus
American Forests and City Forest Credits were awarded a Doris Duke Charitable Foundation grant focused on a range of activities across the country that elevate climate mitigation and improved public health as outcomes of urban forestry. In order to achieve this goal, urban forestry efforts will need to align the right kind of tree canopy to places of greatest impact, and use next-generation urban forestry techniques to assure that these urban forests remain healthy and resilient.
Activities under this grant proposal will include research, technical and financial tools, practitioner training and convening, policy incubation, and on-the-ground implementation that will build new capacity across the urban forest movement to undertake this climate and health-enhanced approach. American Forests will begin delivering on-the-ground implementation of this approach in partnership with the State of Rhode Island to provide a scaled-up model of success for the U.S. Climate Alliance and the nation.
CFC will continue to work with local partners to demonstrate the viability of Carbon + Credit projects and programs in select communities, providing technical assistance to interested jurisdictions seeking to develop credits and soliciting corporate buyers. CFC will also develop new protocols to meet market needs such as the Emerald Ash Borer Management Protocol to save ash trees and a Sustainability Protocol for corporate buyers that do not want or need carbon offsets.
With better demonstration and quantification of urban forest potential to advance climate mitigation and health resilience, American Forests and CFC hopes to engage public and private finance at new scales.

Dhaka: Bangladesh’s highest court rejected on Tuesday an appeal by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus against his dismissal as managing director of Grameen Bank, the microlender he founded, lawyers said.
Associates say Yunus’s removal is prompted by government vendetta after he briefly considered a political career to challenge Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
The 70 year old, made the plea in March after the country’s high court upheld a central bank order dismissing him from the post of managing director, saying he had overstayed in violation of bank law.
The official retirement age for managing directors of commercial banks in Bangladesh is 60.
“The appellate division of the Supreme Court has rejected Muhammad Yunus’s appeal challenging a High Court order that upheld his removal as head of operations of the Grameen Bank,” one of his attorneys, Tamim Hussain Shawon said.
Attorney General Mahbubey Alam said the supreme court had upheld the high court verdict and Yunus no longer had the right to the office of managing director of Grameen Bank. “He has lost the battle,” he said.
Action against Yunus coincides with growing criticism of microlending in developing countries, including neighbouring India, with officials accusing bankers of exploiting the poor.
But analysts said the dismissal would annoy the country’s friends, including the US.
Yunus, winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize, set up Grameen, which means village in Bengali, and has been its managing director since 2000.
Lauded abroad by politicians and financiers, he has been under attack by the government since late 2010, after a Norwegian documentary alleged the bank was dodging taxes.
Yunus has denied any financial irregularities and the Norwegian government found no evidence of misuse of funds or corruption.

Imprisoned opposition chief Alexei Navalny has been handed new expenses by Russian prosecutors
ByThe Related Press
December 2, 2023, 6:04 AM
MOSCOW — Imprisoned opposition chief Alexei Navalny has been handed new expenses by Russian prosecutors.
The 47-year-old is already serving greater than 30 years in jail after being discovered responsible of crimes together with extremism — expenses that his supporters characterize as politically motivated. In feedback handed to his associates, Navalny mentioned he had been charged below article 214 of Russia’s penal code, which covers crimes of vandalism.
“I don’t even know whether or not to explain my newest information as unhappy, humorous or absurd,” he wrote in feedback on social media Friday through his staff. “I don’t know what Article 214 is, and there’s nowhere to look. You’ll know earlier than I do.”
He mentioned that the fees have been a part of the Kremlin’s want to “provoke a brand new legal case towards me each three months.” By no means earlier than has a convict in solitary confinement for greater than a yr had such a wealthy social and political life,” he joked.
Navalny is one in every of President Vladimir Putin’s most ardent opponents, greatest identified for campaigning towards official corruption and organizing main anti-Kremlin protests. The previous lawyer was arrested in 2021, after he returned to Moscow from Germany the place he had recuperated from nerve agent poisoning that he blamed on the Kremlin. He has since been handed three jail phrases and has confronted months in solitary confinement after being accused of assorted minor infractions.
A number of Navalny associates have additionally confronted extremism-related expenses after the politician’s Basis for Preventing Corruption and a community of regional places of work have been outlawed as extremist teams in 2021, a transfer that uncovered nearly anybody affiliated with them to prosecution.
Most lately, a courtroom within the Siberian metropolis of Tomsk jailed Ksenia Fadeyeva, who used to run Navalny’s workplace in Tomsk, previous to her trial on extremism expenses.
Fadeyeva was initially positioned below home arrest in October earlier than later being remanded in pre-trial detention. If discovered responsible, she faces as much as 12 years in jail.

- series: THE SEVEN SISTERS, #2
Ally D'Aplièse is about to compete in one of the world's most perilous yacht races, when she hears the news of her adoptive father's sudden, mysterious death. Rushing back to meet her five sisters at their family home, she discovers that her father - an elusive billionaire affectionately known to his daughters as Pa Salt - has left each of them a tantalising clue to their true heritage.
Ally has also recently embarked on a deeply passionate love affair that will change her destiny forever. But with her life now turned upside down, Ally decides to leave the open seas and follow the trail that her father left her, which leads her to the icy beauty of Norway . . .
There, Ally begins to discover her roots - and how her story is inextricably bound to that of a young unknown singer, Anna Landvik, who lived there over a hundred years before, and sang in the first performance of Grieg's iconic music set to Ibsen's play 'Peer Gynt'. As Ally learns more about Anna, she also begins to question who her father, Pa Salt, really was. And why is the seventh sister missing?
The format of this story is pretty predictable.
Ally is the second of the Seven Sisters to take on the challenge of discovering their birth place and heritage, a challenge left by their deceased adoptive father Pa Salt. He left each of them a letter, and the coordinates of the geographical location where they could start. In Ally's case he left her also a book to read and a little green frog.
At first Ally has no intention of following the clues through, but her circumstances change and she feels the need to know who she is.
The fact that I knew that the plot was to be Ally's present-day story and an investigation of her past, with all the mystery that contained, did not deter me. I have given it the label of "not crime fiction", but there is certainly plenty of mystery and a touch of romance.
I must confess that I first of all borrowed the book from my local library but then, daunted by the size, I bought it for my kindle.
But I'm now hooked. I want to read the next one, THE SHADOW SISTER, and I've bought it for my kindle.

5 Life Lessons Learned from Fishing with a Guide
One thing that the state of Oregon did for me in the four short years that I lived there was to rekindle my love of fly fishing. But not just any kind of fly fishing — fly fishing for trout. There are so many more trout than people in that state which made for some wonderful fishing adventures.
Upon moving back to California a few years ago I was faced with the stark reality of being several hours away from comparable trout fishing. Sure, I could go to a lake in the local mountains and sit elbow to elbow with my fellow fisherperson, just hoping for a sickly, hatchery-raised trout to nibble the blob of playdough on the end of my line.
It’s all well and good if you enjoy that sort of fishing. But I much prefer hiking along a stream in search of the perfect trout hiding spot, finally luring one out with a fly I crafted myself. Then, after admiring it for a few brief seconds, I carefully release it.
While I am able to make the long drive to some of my favorite wild trout streams and lakes in California, I’ve also come to the realization that I need to make the most of the opportunities closer to home. For me, one of the best opportunities is the Pacific Ocean which is just a short drive from my house.
Learning to fish in the ocean
After reading blogs about fishing in the ocean and obtaining the required tackle, I ventured out to some of my local beaches and bays in search of fish. While I love casting into the ocean with a beautiful sunset in the background, I love it more when the fish are biting the end of my line.
After several fruitless trips, it became abundantly clear that I didn’t know what I was doing. I needed some help. That’s when, after a brief Google search, I found Tyler at Mission Bay Fly Fishing Co. We met up early one Friday morning at a local beach, and in just a couple of hours, my ability when it comes to fly fishing in the ocean improved significantly.
This being the second time I’ve hired a guide to teach me to fish a new body of water, I want to highlight some of the key lessons learned and how they apply to work in customer experience and beyond.
A guide shows me where to fish
When Tyler and I planned for our fishing trip, he instructed me to meet him at a specific beach. This in and of itself is nothing profound, but instead of simply casting my line aimlessly into the massive ocean, Tyler taught me how to read the water and the waves. He showed me patterns that might reveal a deeper hole where large halibut and other species of fish might be sitting. And he told me approximately how far out I should be casting and how deep my fly should be.
Lesson: Guides refine and focus your aim, increasing your odds of success.
A guide shows me when to fish
“The early bird gets the worm” is a common expression applied to fishing. Truly, dawn and dusk are great times of day to fish but there’s more to it when it comes to fishing in the ocean. One also needs to pay attention to the surf and tides. I learned that an hour before and after high tide is a great window of time to fish because the tide is moving in and out, causing more of the “fish food” to move around. Another consideration is that large waves are great for surfing, but not so great for fishing because they stir up the sand and decrease visibility for the fish to see the fly.
Lesson: Guides bring to light the many variables you might fail to consider on your own.
A guide shows me how to fish
Any time you fish with a guide, they provide the reel, rod, fishing line, flies, and even lunch if it’s a full-day trip. They also take the time to assess your abilities and provide instruction as needed. You simply need to show up with a positive attitude and some money to tip them as a thanks for their guidance. Tyler also helped me with important techniques like timing my casts between the waves, waiting to retrieve my fly until it was at the correct depth and the most effective method for retrieving my fly.
Lesson: Guides optimize your tools, configurations, and techniques.
A guide shows me what to do when I’ve caught a fish
As a result of these efforts, I caught two halibuts! The first one was only about 10 inches long, but the second one was much bigger, measuring around 20 inches and weighing a few pounds. It sure would have tasted great but Tyler informed me that any halibut caught in California that is smaller than 22 inches must be released. Not only did he instruct me on the best way to handle and release the fish, but he also saved me from a huge fine by knowing the fishing regulations.
Lesson: Guides ensure the safety of all involved and keep you on the right side of the law
A guide makes sure I’m set up for the future
There have been many fishing trips with my kids where I did everything for them. I even hooked the fish for them and then handed them a pole to reel it in. Yes, sometimes this is necessary for young children to have even a glimmer of hope that they’ll catch a fish.
In sharp contrast, Tyler taught me the proper setup so that I could enjoy fishing in the ocean on my own from henceforth. He even left me with some of the flies we used so I’d know which ones to purchase in the future or even tie my own.
Lesson: Guides set you up for future success
As I reflect on this experience and my life as a customer support and customer experience professional, I’m convinced of the value and importance of guides. I can point to many times in my career and life where guides helped me and/or a company I worked for define and achieve a mission. Some have helped me get unstuck, some have helped me achieve better physical, mental, or emotional health, and some have kept us on the right side of the law.
Who are the guides in your life and work? They could wear titles like mentor, manager, consultant, or a variety of others. Classes, books, and relevant industry conferences can also be terrific sources of insight and lead you to wonderful people who can act as guides.
The important thing is that you recognize the incredible value guides can provide and regularly seek their guidance. While their services may not always be free of charge, you’ll likely find their advice to be well worth the expense.
And if you’re ever in Southern California and you want to try fly fishing in the ocean, be sure to give Tyler a call!

Timber surfaces you can find a wide variety of hues available in the market then I am sure there's a product to complement designers to perhaps the wildest suggestions. Although pushing the restrictions of style that is traditional and being innovative is always delightful in the home design sector remains hardly unimportant to check out certain principles and recommendations to prevent a few of the faults awkward Granite Countertops Columbus Oh fashion.
Below you'll find some simple but impressive ideas when choosing the Granite Countertops Columbus Oh, to bear in mind.
- for pure colored timber flooring in matt finish if the ability to hide a small reduction and scrapes are a must Go,
- understand that the colors should complement comparison and each other. The ground can not have similar shades as furniture and walls,
- coloring, texture and the area size of the walls, large roofs as well as the shade of the furniture ought to be your factor whenever choosing colors on your ground. For the final style to reach your goals should really be contrasting hues,
- Dark hues bring out one other elements of decor's heat,
- stay away from black ground in a tiny space with dark walls - it'll make the room more heavy and gloomy (observe floors made-of black timber)
- In bedrooms with low roofs select lightcolored floors and surfaces,
- The flooring that is new should match the present timber surfaces to keep up stream and the honesty of the house,
- Hot brown wood tones will make your area comfortable,
- White and ground that is dull is likely to make your room ample,
- Color range and striking (various shades of crimson: maple and ash Jatoba or stained while in the same coloring) that's ideal for industrial decorations, practices and also other big rooms where the ground becomes a fundamental part of the decor,
- Contaminated traditional brown shade or normal timber which is ideal should you choose a classic look,
- dark and Dark colors are a popular option for designers' broadcasters, contemporary chic and rooms
While the Granite Countertops Columbus Oh photos and electronic house manager may give of exactly what the remaining consequence may be a general notion, there isn't any better way to establish the color of the floor as opposed to looking at the sample place in day light.

South Bank Show returns with Dizzee Rascal
MELVYN Bragg’s South Bank Show returns to TV later this month – with Dizzee Rascal as his guest.
The Sky Arts documentary focuses on the rise of the grime scene in Bow, east London.
Melvyn said: “Is it the sort of stuff I listen to every night? No. Is it good? Yes.
“I’m 72, they’re 22 – it doesn’t matter. Whatever the thing is, they’re on to it and, Jesus, what a story.”


The A4988 Stepper Motor Driver Carrier is a breakout board for Allegro’s easy-to-use A4988 microstepping bipolar stepper motor driver . The driver features adjustable current limiting, overcurrent protection, and five different microstep resolutions. It operates from 8 – 35 V and can deliver up to 2 A per coil.
Stepper motors provide precise control and accuracy and are often used in rapid prototyping projects such as 3D printers.
This product is a carrier board or breakout board for Allegro’s A4988 DMOS Microstepping Driver with Translator and Overcurrent Protection; we therefore recommend careful reading of the A4988 datasheet before using this product. This stepper motor driver lets you control one bipolar stepper motor ‘at up to 2 A output current per coil (see the Power Dissipation Considerations section below for more information). Here are some of the A4983 Stepper Motor Driver’s key features:
- Simple step and direction control interface
- Five different step resolutions: full-step, half-step, quarter-step, eighth-step, and sixteenth-step
- Adjustable current control lets you set the maximum current output with a potentiometer, which lets you use voltages above your stepper motor’s rated voltage to achieve higher step rates
- Intelligent chopping control that automatically selects the correct current decay mode (fast decay or slow decay)
- Over-temperature thermal shutdown, under-voltage lockout, and crossover-current protection
- Short-to-ground and shorted-load protection
Like nearly all our other carrier boards, this product ships with all surface-mount components—including the A4988 driver IC—installed as shown in the product picture.
The A4988 stepper motor driver carrier comes with one 1×16-pin breakaway 0.1″ male header. The headers can be soldered in for use with solderless breadboards or 0.1″ female connectors. You can also solder your motor leads and other connections directly to the board.
The driver requires a logic supply voltage (3 – 5.5 V) to be connected across the VDD and GND pins and a motor supply voltage of (8 – 35 V) to be connected across VMOT and GND. These supplies should have appropriate decoupling capacitors close to the board, and they should be capable of delivering the expected currents (peaks up to 4 A for the motor supply).
Four, six, and eight-wire stepper motors can be driven by the A4988 if they are properly connected; a FAQ answer explains the proper wirings in detail.
Warning: Connecting or disconnecting a stepper motor while the driver is powered can destroy the driver. (More generally, rewiring anything while it is powered is asking for trouble.)
Step (and microstep) size
Stepper motors typically have a step size specification (e.g. 1.8° or 200 steps per revolution), which applies to full steps. A microstepping driver such as the A4988 allows higher resolutions by allowing intermediate step locations, which are achieved by energizing the coils with intermediate current levels. For instance, driving a motor in quarter-step mode will give the 200-step-per-revolution motor 800 microsteps per revolution by using four different current levels.
The resolution (step size) selector inputs (MS1, MS2, MS3) enable selection from the five step resolutions according to the table below. MS1 and MS3 have internal 100kΩ pull-down resistors and MS2 has an internal 50kΩ pull-down resistor, so leaving these three microstep selection pins disconnected results in full-step mode. For the microstep modes to function correctly, the current limit must be set low enough (see below) so that current limiting gets engaged. Otherwise, the intermediate current levels will not be correctly maintained, and the motor will effectively operate in a full-step mode.
Each pulse to the STEP input corresponds to one microstep of the stepper motor in the direction selected by the DIR pin. Note that the STEP and DIR pins are not pulled to any particular voltage internally, so you should not leave either of these pins floating in your application. If you just want rotation in a single direction, you can tie DIR directly to VCC or GND. The chip has three different inputs for controlling its many power states: RST, SLP, and EN. For details about these power states, see the datasheet. Please note that the RST pin is floating; if you are not using the pin, you can connect it to the adjacent SLP pin on the PCB.
To achieve high step rates, the motor supply is typically much higher than would be permissible without active current limiting. For instance, a typical stepper motor might have a maximum current rating of 1 A with a 5Ω coil resistance, which would indicate a maximum motor supply of 5 V. Using such a motor with 12 V would allow higher step rates, but the current must actively be limited to under 1 A to prevent damage to the motor.
The A4988 supports such active current limiting, and the trimmer potentiometer on the board can be used to set the current limit. One way to set the current limit is to put the driver into full-step mode and to measure the current running through a single motor coil without clocking the STEP input. The measured current will be 0.7 times the current limit (since both coils are always on and limited to 70% in full-step mode). Please note that the current limit is dependent on the Vdd voltage.
Another way to set the current limit is to measure the voltage on the “ref” pin and to calculate the resulting current limit (the current sense resistors are 0.05Ω). The ref pin voltage is accessible on a via that is circled on the bottom silkscreen of the circuit board. See the A4988 datasheet for more information.
Power dissipation considerations of the A4983 Stepper Motor Driver
The A4988 driver IC has a maximum current rating of 2 A per coil, but the actual current you can deliver depends on how well you can keep the IC cool. The carrier’s printed circuit board is designed to draw heat out of the IC, but to supply more than approximately 1 A per coil, a heat sink or other cooling method is required.
This product can get hot enough to burn you long before the chip overheats. Take care when handling this product and other components connected to it.
Please note that measuring the current draw at the power supply does not necessarily provide an accurate measure of the coil current. Since the input voltage to the driver can be significantly higher than the coil voltage, the measured current on the power supply can be quite a bit lower than the coil current (the driver and coil basically act like a switching step-down power supply). Also, if the supply voltage is very high compared to what the motor needs to achieve the set current, the duty cycle will be very low, which also leads to significant differences between average and RMS currents.

The company, which runs five funeral homes, in Eastwood, Kimberley, Selston, Stapleford and Heanor, made a donation to Treetops Hospice Care in Risley, which issued a dire warning about its future last month because of the effect the lockdown was having on its fundraising efforts.
Gillotts has previously raised funds for the hospice through its Christmas Appeal and Joanne Hutsby, a partner in the firm, said that it wanted to help the charity to survive.
Treetops value is immeasurable
Ms Hutsby said:
“The whole country seems to be pulling together during the coronavirus outbreak, which is why we also wanted to make a contribution to Treetops, whose value to the people and families it works with each year is immeasurable.”
This donation will provide five more nights of end-of-life care
Julie Heath, chief executive of Treetops Hospice Care, said:
“We want to say a huge thanks to Gillotts Funeral Directors for their kind donation.
“Support from local businesses and the local community is really appreciated during these difficult times and it ensures we can continue to provide Hospice at Home nursing care during the coronavirus pandemic.
“This donation will mean we can provide five more nights of end-of-life care by our devoted nurses who are caring for terminally-ill patients in their own homes.”
Gillotts has also benefitted from the generosity of others, after two companies, Midlands Asbestos Solutions and Alert Electricals, donated much-needed coveralls and face masks for Gillotts’ staff working during the outbreak.

Astrometry.net is a reliable and robust system that takes as input an astronomical image and returns as output the pointing, scale, and orientation of that image (the astrometric calibration or World Coordinate System information). The system requires no first guess, and works with the information in the image pixels alone; that is, the problem is a generalization of the "lost in space" problem in which nothing—not even the image scale—is known. After robust source detection is performed in the input image, asterisms (sets of four or five stars) are geometrically hashed and compared to pre-indexed hashes to generate hypotheses about the astrometric calibration. A hypothesis is only accepted as true if it passes a Bayesian decision theory test against a null hypothesis. With indices built from the USNO-B catalog and designed for uniformity of coverage and redundancy, the success rate is >99.9% for contemporary near-ultraviolet and visual imaging survey data, with no false positives. The failure rate is consistent with the incompleteness of the USNO-B catalog; augmentation with indices built from the Two Micron All Sky Survey catalog brings the completeness to 100% with no false positives. We are using this system to generate consistent and standards-compliant meta-data for digital and digitized imaging from plate repositories, automated observatories, individual scientific investigators, and hobbyists.
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) produces large amounts of data daily. transfer, written in Python, provides the effective automation needed for daily data transfer operations and management and operates essentially free of human intervention. This package has been tested and used successfully for several years.
CCDtoRGB produces red‐green‐blue (RGB) composites from three‐band astronomical images, ensuring an object with a specified astronomical color has a unique color in the RGB image rather than burnt‐out white stars. Use of an arcsinh stretch shows faint objects while simultaneously preserving the structure of brighter objects in the field, such as the spiral arms of large galaxies.
kcorrect fits very restricted spectral energy distribution models to galaxy photometry or spectra in the restframe UV, optical and near-infrared. The main purpose of the fits are for calculating K-corrections. The templates used for the fits may also be interpreted physically, since they are based on the Bruzual-Charlot stellar evolution synthesis codes. Thus, for each fit galaxy kcorrect can provide an estimate of the stellar mass-to-light ratio.
Marvin searches, accesses, and visualizes data from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey. Written in Python, it provides tools for easy efficient interaction with the MaNGA data via local files, files retrieved from the Science Archive Server, or data directly grabbed from the database. The tools come mainly in the form of convenience functions and classes for interacting with the data. Also available is a web app, Marvin-web, offers an easily accessible interface for searching the MaNGA data and visual exploration of individual MaNGA galaxies or of the entire sample, and a powerful query functionality that uses the API to query the MaNGA databases and return the search results to your python session. Marvin-API is the critical link that allows Marvin-tools and Marvin-web to interact with the databases, which enables users to harness the statistical power of the MaNGA data set.
The MaNGA Data Reduction Pipeline (DRP) processes the raw data to produce flux calibrated, sky subtracted, coadded data cubes from each of the individual exposures for a given galaxy. The DRP consists of two primary parts: the 2d stage that produces flux calibrated fiber spectra from raw individual exposures, and the 3d stage that combines multiple flux calibrated exposures with astrometric information to produce stacked data cubes. These science-grade data cubes are then processed by the MaNGA Data Analysis Pipeline (ascl:2203.017), which measures the shape and location of various spectral features, fits stellar population models, and performs a variety of other analyses necessary to derive astrophysically meaningful quantities from the calibrated data cubes.

Derby Crown Court recently heard how Lewis Hobley accelerated at up to 90mph while taking a number of blind summit hills during the 10-minute pursuit.
He overtook one car that was already overtaking, mounted a pavement and a grass verge and left a trail of debris as he fled from police.
The 21-year-old stopped in a scrap yard where he tried to run but was detained when a police officer pulled out a stun gun.
The court also heard that just a month later, Hobley sped from a red light in a second chase that saw him narrowly avoid knocking a cyclist over as he tried to escape from police again.
Recorder Jacob Hallam QC said: “This was a prolonged period of bad driving at excessive speeds on busy roads during which you showed total disregard not only to the safety of yourself and your passenger but all the other road users.
“It was frankly really extraordinary that you or other people on the road were not injured.
“Then, while under investigation for the offence you carried out a second, less prolonged period of dangerous driving.”
The hearing was told how the two incidents took place just a month apart in the summer of this year.
Abigail Hill, prosecuting, said the first offence happened near Chesterfield at around 5.30pm, on July 26.
She said police spotted Hobley driving a car and decide to follow him.
Describing the 10-minute chase that followed, Miss Hill said: “He accelerates to speeds of up to 90mph taking a number of blind hills, sometimes on the wrong side of the road when it would be almost impossible to know if anyone was travelling towards him in the opposite direction.
“He mounts a grass verge at speed leaving debris in his trail, overtakes at speed on bends and comes to a stop in a scrap yard.”
Miss Hill said he fled from his car, was pursued on foot by an officer who drew his Taser to bring the offence to a stop.
She said after being released while under investigation for that offence he carried out the second piece of dangerous driving on the A617 Hasland Bypass coming into Chesterfield in a different car on August 29.
Miss Hill said Hobley jumped a red light and accelerated away at speed before narrowly avoiding a collision with a cyclist at the Alma Leisure Park.
Father-of-one Hobley, of Kingsley Avenue, Chesterfield, pleaded guilty to two counts of dangerous driving and driving while uninsured and without a valid licence.
Joe Harvey, defending, said his client’s offending came at a time when his best friend had taken his own life which sent him off the rails.
He added: “He is experiencing his first taste of adult custody at Nottingham Prison which he describes to me as a zoo.
“It is a regime he has not enjoyed at all and anyone who thinks Nottingham Prison is a holiday camp is welcome to talk to Mr Hobley.
“He has employment as a car sprayer and recognises that he needs to set a good example to his son.
“He us under no illusions that this was an appalling episode of bad driving and knows it is only down to luck rather than judgement this did not end up a far more serious case than it is already.”
Recorder Hallam sentenced Hobley to one-year of custody and disqualified him from driving for two years and five months.

Excerpt from my debut Novel- "Yuh Can't Stop de Carnival!"
In order to fully appreciate the evolution of the Carnival tradition throughout the Caribbean, one must understand the complex historical, social, cultural and political backgrounds from which these celebrations were borne.
The first ‘modern’ Caribbean Carnival originated in Trinidad and Tobago in the late eighteenth century and was a celebration of freedom that was linked to colonialism and religious conversion.
From 1783, French settlers brought the Masquerade tradition with them to the island and developed their Carnival into a season of festivities, extending from Christmas to Ash Wednesday. These festivities consisted of dinners, masked balls, concerts and hunting parties.
The island came under British rule in 1797 and by the beginning of the eighteenth century, there were already a large number of free blacks in Trinidad mixed with French immigrants, earlier Spanish settlers, and British nationals. This allowed for Carnival to transform from an implanted European celebration to a more diverse cultural fusion, which was celebrated before the commencement of the Lenten season.
With the abolition of slavery in 1834, the now completely free population outwardly celebrated their respective native cultures and their emancipation through dress, music, food, and dancing.
While Emancipation brought freedom for the African population, it also brought new concerns for the British who were entrenching themselves as the new colonial power in the West Indies, at a time when the French had lost their dominance in society. The governing British rulers were caught up in the local problems of labor, low productivity, and financial structures, therefore, the opportunity emerged for Africans to take over Carnival and embrace it as an expression of their new-found freedom.
In the beginning the emancipated slaves celebrated the anniversary of their freedom on August 1st, by re-enacting scenes of Cannes Brulées, as a mockery towards past slave owners. During slavery, whenever a fire broke out in the cane fields, the slaves on the surrounding properties were rounded up and marched to the burning cane fields followed by drivers blowing horns and shells while cracking their whips with lashes and commands, to harvest the cane before it was burnt. This event became known as the Cannes Brulées, meaning burnt cane. Today this re-enactment is known as Canboulay and takes place just before the beginning of J’Ouvert with masking, dancing and fire breathing.
The August 1st celebration lasted for about a decade, after which it was transferred to the pre-Lenten season.
From the inception of street parades in 1839 and for more than one hundred years thereafter, the celebration flowed in two distinctly different social streams - upper and lower classes. For the most part, the upper classes held their masked balls in the great houses of sugar estates during the nineteenth century Carnivals, then mobilized the masquerades or mas (but maintained their distance), by using the trays of lorries as their stage until well into the nineteen-fifties.
The view of the British was that the Carnival activities were immoral, obscene and violent. The kalenda, the drumming, the dances and the sexually explicit masquerades were thought to be totally objectionable and these views were fully supported by the contemporary press. Throughout this period there was a sustained attack on Carnival in most newspaper editorials that ranged from outright condemnation, to calls for a total ban. This was also the era of repressive legislation and the British Colonial Government passed several laws banning many of the activities associated with Carnival including dancing to drums, carrying lighted torches and “obscene songs and dances”.
The more repressive the legislation, the more aggressive were the responses and finally, in 1881, masqueraders carried out a planned resistance against the police who attempted to stop the revelry. In the aftermath of the riot of 1881, Governor Freeling addressed the people and declared “There shall be no interference with your masquerade.” (qtd. in Liverpool 310). By acknowledging the importance of the Carnival to the people, he proved that it was much more than just music, masquerade and dance but rather a necessary form of cultural expression.
Even through attempts by colonial government legislations and police batons, they finally realized, try as you may, "Yuh Can’t Stop de Carnival!"

As we get closer to the end of 2015, more of you may be treating Medicare patients who are at or above the $3,700 cap for manual medical review.
Last year, every PT or OT claim above $3,700 was subject to manual medical review and you could essentially count on the claim being denied. (Keep in mind that, like the regular Medicare cap of $1,940, the medical review cap is applied separately for PT/SP and OT and does not necessarily apply to Medicare Advantage patients.)
The SGR legislation passed earlier this year included a provision that replaced the mandatory review of claims over $3,700 with an optional review that only targets certain providers. (This legislation included suggested factors for targeted review that are listed below.) CMS was supposed to issue guidance on this targeted review process during July, but has not done so yet. However, CMS has instructed the recovery audit contractors to stop the 100% manual review and instead conduct targeted reviews. Because the recovery audit contractors are paid based on denials, we expect that they will generally avoid reviewing claims of therapists with a low Medicare denial history.
The lack of CMS guidance on this targeted review does create some uncertainty. However, my recommendation is that if you have a patient who is at or above the $3,700 cap for 2015, you can continue to treat this patient and file claims with a KX modifier if you are confident that you can demonstrate medical necessity for continued therapy.
The factors that CMS may take into account in developing its targeted review process include:
- The therapist has had a high claims denial percentage or is less compliant with applicable requirements.
- The therapist has a pattern of billing that is aberrant compared to peers or otherwise has questionable billing practices, such as billing medically unlikely units of services in a day.
- The therapist is newly enrolled or has otherwise not previously furnished therapy services.
- The services are furnished to treat a type of medical condition.
- The therapist is part of a group that includes another therapist identified using the factors used by CMS for targeted review.
