- Sara is filming Coolie No 1 in Thailand while Saif's in London
- Saif Ali Khan is filming Jawaani Jaaneman in London
- "Happiest birthday, Abba," Sara captioned the post
Sara Ali Khan may not be together with her father Saif Ali Khan on his birthday but she made a bit special for the actor by sharing a lovely picture of him with all his children - although Saif's not on social media. In a recent throwback picture, Saif is surrounded by his three children - Sara and Ibrahim Ali Khan (with first Amrita Singh) and Taimur Ali Khan (with actress wife Kareena Kapoor). "Happiest birthday, Abba. I love you so much,' Sara captioned the post. Sara Ali Khan is currently filming Coolie No 1 with her team in Thailand while Saif Ali Khan, 49 today, is in London making Jawaani Jaaneman.
Here's Sara Ali Khan's post for Saif Ali Khan on his birthday:
Sara Ali Khan is the eldest of Saif's three children. She burst into the Bollywood scene with 2018 film Kedarnath closely followed by Simmba, one of the highest earning films of 2018. Sara Ali Khan then moved on to Love Aaj Kal 2, a sequel to Imtiaz Ali's Love Aaj Kal, which featured Saif Ali Khan in the lead role.
Currently, Sara Ali Khan is filming Coolie No 1 remake with co-star Varun Dhawan and director David Dhawan in Thailand. Last week Sara celebrated her 24th birthday on the sets of the film with the cast and crew.
Meanwhile, Saif Ali Khan is currently trending for Sacred Games 2, which went live on Netflix on August 15. He plays the role of Sartaj Singh, one of the two protagonists, on the show. Apart from Jawaani Jaaneman, Saif has Laal Kaptaan and Taanaji: The Unsung Warrior in the pipeline.

Thanks to a novel application of earthquake-reading technology, a study team at the University of Illinois and colleagues at Nanjing University in China have discovered that the Earth’s inner core has an inner core of its own, which has astonishing properties that could disclose info about our planet.
Led by Xiaodong Song, a professor of geology at the U. of I., and visiting postdoctoral scientist Tao Wang, the team issued its work in the journal Nature Geoscience on Feb. 9.
“Even though the inner core is small – smaller than the moon – it has some really interesting features,” said Song. “It may tell us about how our planet formed its history, and other dynamic processes of the Earth. It shapes our understanding of what’s going on deep inside the Earth.”
Scientists use seismic waves from earthquakes to study below the planet’s surface, much like doctors use ultrasound to see inside patients. The team used a technology that collects data not from the initial shock of an earthquake, but from the waves that vibrate in the earthquake’s aftermath. The earthquake is like a hammer hitting a bell; much like a listener hears the strong tone that resonates after the bell strike, seismic sensors gathers a coherent signal in the earthquake’s coda.
“It turns out the coherent signal improved by the technology is stronger than the ring itself,” said Song. “The basic idea of the technique has been present for a while, and people have used it for other kinds of researches near the surface. But we are looking all the way through the center of the earth.”
Looking through the core disclosed a wonder at the center of the planet – though not of the type intended by novelist Jules Verne.
The inner core, once believed to be a solid ball of iron, has some complex structural properties. The team discovered a separate inner-inner core, about half the diameter of the whole inner core. The iron crystals in the outer layer of the inner core are aligned directionally, north-south. Though, in the inner-inner core, the iron crystals point approximately east-west.
Not only are the iron crystals in the inner-inner core aligned in a different way, they behave distinctly from their counterparts in the outer-inner core. This means that the inner-inner core could be made of a dissimilar crystal, or a different phase.
“The fact that we have two regions that are clearly different may tell us something about how the inner core has been developing,” Song said. “For example, over the history of the earth, the inner core might have had a very vivid change in its distortion regime. It might hold the key to how the planet has evolved. We are right in the center – trully, the center of the Earth.”
The U.S. National Science Foundation and the National Science Foundation of China supported this work.

Recently I was asked what is the place of the Old Testament in the life of a believer?
When we read the Old Testament we will soon come upon the importance of the Mosaic laws, all 613 of them and how we must keep them perfectly if we are to live under that covenant.
“‘Cursed be he who does not confirm the words of this law by doing them.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’ (Deuteronomy 27:26 RSVA)
But we who are of the New Covenant are IN Christ by faith and are not under that curse.
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that does them shall live in them. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. (Galatians 3:11-14 KJ2000)
So how did God deal with the filling up of the just requirements of the law that we might live by faith in Christ alone? Jesus said, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.” (Matthew 5:17 KJ2000)
And just before He died on the cross He cried out, “It is finished!” Jesus came and filled up the just requirements of the law in one perfect sacrifice for all. In so doing he did away with the first covenant and introduced the New Covenant. Jesus came to establish a New Covenant for the Jews broke the first one and did not keep it for the law was week because of their flesh (See Romans 8:3).
But now has he [Jesus] obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. For finding fault with them, he says, Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, says the Lord. (Hebrews 8:6-9 KJ2000)
Then what good is the Old Testament to we who walk by faith? It is there to point us to Christ!
And he [Jesus] said to them, “O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. (Luke 24:25-27 RSVA)
So what is the nature of this entirely NEW Covenant? Is it more rule keeping as it seems to be in many of today’s churches that make a law book out of the New Testament and mix in with it the Old? Is it one in which Jesus has the power to save us from our sins, but it is up to us to keep ourselves saved like many churches teach? NO! This covenant is ALL about the power of God to save and to keep us.
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. (Hebrews 8:10-12 KJ2000)
A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will take out of your flesh the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to observe my ordinances. (Ezekiel 36:26-27 RSVA)
Here we read God saying eight times how HE will and not a single “Thou shalt” or “Thou shalt not!” It is all about the power of God to come into us and give us a new heart and put His Spirit in us.
What is this law written upon our hearts in this NEW Covenant. Is it the 613 commandments of the Old Covenant? Not at all. In Hebrews we read,
Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levit’ical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest [Jesus] to arise after the order of Melchiz’edek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron? For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well. (Hebrews 7:11-12 RSVA)
What is this NEW Law? Jesus told us what it is saying,
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35 RSVA)
As for the old law and where are we with that as we walk by faith? Paul wrote,
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.. (Romans 8:2-4 RSVA)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23 RSVA)
Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law. For this, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, You shall not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, namely, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Love works no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. (Romans 13:8-10 KJ2000)
So, as long as we read the Old Testament and look for how it points us to Christ and the vast difference between the Old Covenant based in the weakness of the flesh and the NEW Covenant based on the power of the Spirit of Christ in us, it is good. But if we read it as a pointer putting us back under the law of the first covenant, we are totally missing the point.
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. (John 1:17 RSVA)
Let us not be as foolish as some who worship the shadow and have missed the ONE who is casting that shadow.
For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices which are continually offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near. (Hebrews 10:1 RSVA)
Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a sabbath. These are only a shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ. (Colossians 2:16-17 RSVA)
May God bless each one of you with a new heart and His spirit within you as you walk by faith in Christ alone.

Maryland’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene oversees the qualifications for speech therapists in Baltimore. Along with finding and completing a master’s degree in speech-language pathology, aspiring speech therapists must complete supervised clinical training, supervised postgraduate experience and passing the Praxis exam administered by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Two programs in the Baltimore area were accredited.

It ain’t easy being a swimsuit model, but when Jeneil Williams stopped by our studio, we were super inspired by her badass confidence and you-can-do-anything attitude. The 22-year-old model relocated to NYC from Jamaica after being discovered at a pageant in 2007, and we were lucky enough to chat with her about the secrets to success—and how she got that killer bod.
To celebrate Galore Mag’s Music and Friendship issue, we teamed up with founders Prince Chenoa and Jacob Dekat for a balls-out bash at The Lash in Downtown LA. Soko and Tamara Sky dropped some killer beats, and—if you snuck into the VIP section—you might’ve spotted Christina Milian, Deap Vally or Ivy Levan decked out in head-to-toe Nasty Gal (NBD). But, hey, don’t be bummed if you couldn’t make it—we’ve got so many snaps from last Thursday, it’ll feel like you were totally there.
(Photos by Felisha Tolentino)
Ivy Levan describes her look as “ditzy housewife meets murderous working girl,” and we couldn’t say it better ourselves. The Arkansas-born singer relocated to L.A. 11 years ago and has made a name for herself with punky film noir music videos and a super sultry Disney villain aesthetic. (She even walked in The Blonds’ S/S 2014 New York Fashion Week show last year.) We were lucky enough to chat up Ivy at our Nasty Gal x Galore Mag party to hear more about her morgue-inspired ensembles, where she shops in L.A., and her undying (heh) love for industrial goth.
(Photos by Prince Chenoa and Jacob Dekat of Galore Mag)
Here at Nasty Gal, we’re serious about the ultimate anti-prom aesthetic, and we couldn’t think of a better way to say “F you” to conventional school rules than by dyeing our hair the perfect shade of mint blue. We enlisted the help of hair stylist Ashlee Rose Clay to create the ultimate show-stopping (and temporary!) tousled strands perfect for prom, the after party and everything in between.
Dudes, fashion month is over, but before we officially wrap up the fall/winter 2014 season, we thought we’d chat with our photographer/blogger babe Marie Jensen one last time. This week, she made her final stop in Paris (after Copenhagen, London, and Milan!), and—once she caught some Zs—we asked her to dish on her favorite trends, the best off-duty model ensembles and explain why street style is still so important in the fashion world today.
(Photos by Marie Jensen)
If you live in New York City, you’ve heard about Galore. The ’90s-inspired quarterly mag, launched in 2012 by Prince Chenoa and Jacob Dekat, perfectly mixes powerful women and sex appeal for a downtown-girl-meets-vixen-bombshell visual aesthetic that stands out amongst the typical newsstand crowd. But Galore isn’t just a magazine–it’s a media company that hosts events, produces short films and creates daily content for their site. In celebration of our killer Nasty Gal x Galore party last night, we thought it would be the perfect time to hit up these EICs and hear more about our favorite mag of the moment.
Not to brag, but we’re totally Chloe Norgaard experts around here. Almost exactly a year ago, we had a balls-out hang sesh with this rainbow-haired babe in her NYC apartment, and today (and nearly two photo shoots later!) she’s back to talk all-things music. One look at her dream festival lineup, and you’ll fall in love.
Just when you thought it was impossible to look cool at prom, model Frida Aasen showed us that some choppy bangs, bondage and a badass ‘tude can totally transform an entire outfit. But, we wanted to know even more about this blonde-haired beauty, so we asked her about dream date, go-to song, and her modeling career (duh). Check it out below!
Ditch the boring gowns (and dates) and hang out with us! From balloon-print bubble skirts
For my fifth birthday my parents threw me a pink party. Everyone (even my dad, poor guy) wore pink. There were pink balloons strewn all over the place, pink cotton candy, and a big chocolate cake with pink icing. I even took the theme one step further by anointing guests with a stripe of fluoro pink zinc (this was summertime in Australia, after all) across their noses upon arrival. To keep the peace, the few boys invited were offered orange zinc instead, but one of them, Ethan, insisted on having pink. I remember us girls thinking he was a weirdo. We giggled into our frosted-pink cupcakes and teased him all afternoon. Now I think back on it, though, Ethan was pretty punk.
Every Monday we send you a killer playlist straight from NGHQ!
“Kick off March right with some serious summer vibes! What’s a better way to celebrate the spring season than with some girly jams and dance-y beats? Pop some rosé and blast these tunes while getting ready with your best babes for a killer Friday night out!”

On Sunday, May 3rd, 2015, Myriam Boisbouvier-Wylie launched The Red and The Black and Other French Plays — a compilation of French literature translated and adapted for the stage by the late Colin Duckworth. With his dream to inspire theatre enthusiasts to engage with French literature, Mr. Duckworth was instrumental in bringing French literature to the stage. The Stork Theatre established in1983, brings to Melbourne audiences great French authors such as Camus, Duras, Stendhal, Flaubert, etc.
The book features translations of The Red and the Black by Stendhal, Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert, In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust and The Lover by Marguerite Duras. Colin Duckworth accomplished a tour de force, condensing these master pieces into short plays while keeping the essence of them.

'Dedicated and faithful' friends honored as TMP Points of Light
By DIANE GASPER-O'BRIEN
By DIANE GASPER-O'BRIEN
Each year at homecoming, the alumni association at Thomas More Prep-Marian High School honors some individuals or couples who have made significant contributions to the Catholic school in a variety of ways.
The award is called Points of Light. But these folks usually doesn't want any light shining on them.
Talk to any one of those receiving the award on any given year, and they will tell you they are honored, but humbled because "there are so many people who are doing great things out there."
Those were the words of one of this year's winners, Rosie Werth, who was selected along with her husband, Frank, as "dedicated alumni and faithful friends."
Others who will be recognized at Saturday's alumni banquet and will ride down Main Street in this evening's homecoming parade are Ron and Rhonda Flax, Greg and Pam Schmidt and Don and Jolene Moore.
The Flaxes are in the same category as the Werths as alumni, while the Schmidts and Moores were selected as "dedicated and faithful friends."
The Werths definitely fit the alumni mold.
Frank is a 1960 graduate of St. Joseph Military Academy, and Rosie is a 1961 graduate of Girls' Catholic High School. Both of those schools are predecessors of TMP.
Rosie was one of 13 children of Celestine and Minnie Pfannenstiel -- 11 are TMP alumni -- and four of the Werth's five children, as well as five grandchildren, are graduates, too.
Rosie keeps busy volunteering in the alumni office and especially is proud two of her granddaughters, Samantha and Tyra Younie, are current students there.
Rosie said she and her husband have missed only about five alumni banquets in the 50-plus years since their graduation from TMP.
Last year, they were surprised when they were honored at the banquet as the distinguished alumni award winners.
This year, the surprise came earlier than homecoming when they received a letter in the mail informing them of their honor.
"Oh, I don't know what to say," Rosie began, while trying to describe yet another honor from her alma mater. "We all just all do what we can to help. There are a lot of people helping in a lot of ways."
That comment was no surprise.
Ron and Rhonda Flax
Ron graduated from TMP in 1975 and Rhonda, in 1977, and all three of their children followed suit.
With all the projects the couple has participated in through the years, the most notable probably is Ron's creation and refurbishment of the school's baseball and softball complex and both Ron's and Rhonda's work on landscaping projects around the campus.
The Flaxes also have served twice as co-chairs of the Auction for Christian Education, the school's main fundraiser for the year that has raised more than $4.5 million since its inaugural auction in 1975.
Greg and Pam Schmidt
All three of the Schmidts' sons graduated from TMP, where the couple has been involved for many years in various projects and organizations.
Like numerous TMP alumni, the Schmidts still are active at the school even after their last son graduated in 2009.
They not only are volunteers, but also leaders, for numerous events, including planning and working the school's centennial celebration in 2008 and helping with the auditorium renovation project.
Don and Jolene Moore
The Moores are originally from Clyde but stayed in Hays to work and raise a family after graduating from Fort Hays State University.
They chose Catholic education for both their daughters, who graduated from TMP in the early 1990s.
In addition to volunteering for a myriad of tasks at school activities, the Moores have served on the ACE decorating committing for more than 25 years, and Jolene, a certified public accountant, has volunteered her services to the TMP Endowment Association.

There’s hot, and then there’s “450 sweaty teenagers and aging hipsters crowded into a church basement with broken fans” hot. That was the kind of hot that greeted Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Grand Buffet and The Magnolia Electric Company on Wednesday night at The First Unitarian Church in Philly.
Usually when the opening act goes on stage, the place is still filling up, and lots of folks are socializing instead of getting a position to see the first band. Not on a night when the “opening act” is the most talked about new band in the indie rock circles, recipients of glowing reviews from all the usual suspects, and sporting a curious name like Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. By the time the band had assembled on stage, the place was packed, and continued to fill as they began to progress through their self-titled, self-released debut album’s tracks.
The band sounded fantastic on stage. For a venue as empirically shitty as The First Unitarian Church, the music sounded good, even if the logistics don’t allow for much in the way of any type of discernable stage show. Lead singer and Philly native Alec Ounsworth was not much for talking between songs, which was greatly appreciated since they had limited time and a great album to play for us. Ounsworth’s unique vocal style (imagine David Byrne being strangled), doesn’t do much for understanding lyrics at a live show, but I can’t really understand them on the album either, so no big deal.
The band is technically very strong, with tight, full melodies that employ lots of head bobbing off beats to accentuate the tunes. Gaudy synth lines were used at the right times, and the band seemed very focused on nailing the songs, as opposed to overly playing to the crowd. No problem for me. I don’t need an elaborate stage show. Play great rock music. Nothing more is needed.
Almost all tracks from the album were played, and a couple that are not on the album, the most notable being “Satan Said Dance” (don’t quote me on the title). Ounsworth sported the harmonica neck rack for a tune or two as well. The band opened with “Let the Cool Goddess Rust Away” and closed with “Upon This Tidal Wave of Young Blood”, my 2 favorite tracks on an album full of memorable tunes.
After CYHSY finished their set, we bolted for air that was south of 200 degrees, and caught a bite to eat while Grand Buffet performed.
We came back to catch some of Magnolia Electric Company, formerly known as Songs: Ohia. Jason Molina’s new band has some good tunes, including “The Dark Don’t Hide It” and “Leaving The City”. I didn’t hear either of those songs, but I also didn’t stay for the entire set either. The place had thinned out considerably, Magnolia was uninspiring, and I wanted to go home and listen to more Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.
Here are some valuable links to check out this great new band.

It's crazy how much technology has changed the music scene. When I was in high school, if you wanted to record a song, you needed some pretty pricey equipment. This was all on top of actually having instruments. Nowadays all you need is an iPhone and a guitar, and you can be in business. And a few rings on your fingers, if your name is Andy Gruhin.
Andy Gruhin is a pop-punk rocker turned singer/songwriter from Washington D.C. starting to make a name for himself with tracks like "Bring Me Down" and "Cobweb Kid." With his newest track though, Gruhin finds himself trading out his electric guitar for an acoustic and the change of pace really pays off.
The track, recorded 80% on an iPhone, is called "Double Cross," and it's a laid back affair where Gruhin's lyrics really have a chance to take center stage. He weaves a story of lost love and the pain of revisiting it, played out over a simple acoustic guitar riff. Throw in some electronics and ring banging (yeah, that crazy helicopter sound is some rings hitting a table) and Gruhin takes you right back to that time in your life when you were absolutely crushed by someone you loved, but knew you were becoming a better person for it.
Make sure you go check out Gruhin's website where you can pick up the track as a free download.

A decade ago, the Japanese public was gradually becoming aware of the term "hikikomori". Coined by a psychologist, Tamaki Saito, it referred to the individuals - usually male adolescents - who opted to lock themselves away from society and refused to communicate with the outside world.
Saito estimated that there could be as many as a million such social recluses across the country, choosing computer games, reading "manga" comics and surfing the internet rather than undergoing Japan's notoriously demanding education system, followed by unswerving loyalty to an employer.
And while parents may have wrung their hands with worry as they left another meal on a tray outside the bedroom door of their son, there was at least little concern that he was going to get into much trouble.
After their meteoric rise, both in numbers and the public consciousness, the hikikomori phenomenon has peaked, according to Susumu Ito, who set up a support group called Zenkoku Hikikomori KHJ seven years ago.
Now, he fears that young people who are unable to communicate and handle the pressures of life are lashing out instead of locking themselves away. "They are becoming more violent," says Ito, whose 38-year-old son, Manabu, has struggled as a hikikomori for the past 22 years and has attempted suicide three times.
After the initial flurry of media coverage of the frenzied knife attack in Akihabara on Sunday by Tomohiro Kato, which left seven dead and 10 hospitalised, by yesterday the focus had turned to what the average person can do when confronted by a person wielding a knife and apparently bent on murder. The conclusion was clear: not much.
According to the Japanese police, there were eight cases involving indiscriminate street stabbings last year, double the reported number in 2006. This year, there have already been five cases. Police have also reported an increase in incidents involving people being pushed off station platforms and other assaults.
In March, a man aged 24 used a knife to kill one commuter and injure seven others in a station north of Tokyo. After he was arrested, the man told police: "I wanted to kill seven or eight people. I didn't care who they were." His comments bear a chilling similarity to those of Kato, 25, who said he was "tired of life" and wanted to kill "anyone".
"First withdrawing, and then demonstrating violence against the world around them, are symptoms of the same thing," said Noriko Hama, of Kyoto's Doshisha University. "These people are showing uncertainty, fear, frustration and loneliness, all of which lead to desperation and a cycle of violence."
Hama does not believe the recent spate of incidents are "copycat" attacks, but instead have shown what is possible to those who have not been able to find an outlet for their anger: "Suddenly they see attacking random people with a knife as being 'acceptable' or conventional."
In her own students, Hama has noticed an alarming decline in communication skills, to the point where she describes some as being "almost illiterate": "The only way they are able to unleash themselves is through text messages."
On Monday, police released a series of messages sent by Kato to a mobile phone website in which he boasted of his plans to kill people in Akihabara. A part-time worker at a car parts factory, he apparently set about organising his deadly rampage on Friday after accusing the company of removing his work clothes because it planned to sack him. Before company officials could be summoned, Kato stormed off.
There has been a higher police presence on the streets of Tokyo since Kato's arrest and the government has indicated it will reconsider legislation covering the purchasing and carrying of knives, but little has been said or done to combat the alienation that these young men feel.
The question is whether that responsibility lies with parents or the state.
"When I visit schools to talk to children today, I can see that they don't have a dream any more," says Ito. "I was born in 1935 and lived through the war years. Back then our economy was very weak and we had nothing, but we worked hard. Now the economy is strong and children have everything they want. This is not good for their souls.
"They have computer games in their bedrooms and no longer play outside. They never learn to express themselves or to say what they are thinking."
It was not many generations ago that the family was the foundation of Japanese society. In March, a report by the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research noted that, for the first time, Japan has more single-member households - 14.71 million - as opposed to two or more people living together (14.55 million).
If they are not living together, the Japanese are also talking to each other less. And if they're communicating less, they will inevitably feel increasingly isolated. The case of Tomohiro Kato shows where that can lead.

BRET MICHAELS New Solo Album To Feature DEF LEPPARD Members
August 29, 2011 / 1191 reads / No comments yet
Bret Michaels recently spoke to Billboard.com about his forthcoming solo album, "Get Your Rock On", which he hopes to release sometime next year. The CD will likely turn out to be a guest-studded affair that will feature DEF LEPPARD's Joe Elliott and Phil Collen, Stevie Nicks, possibly members of LYNYRD SKYNYRD and younger groups such as POP EVIL and MY DARKEST DAYS.
"I'm in the process of doing it as we speak," Michaels told Billboard.com. "When you're having other artists perform with you, it's about working with their time schedule and a lot of taking care of some of the business before you can enjoy the pleasure of just jamming together. I try to keep it pretty organic. We have to make sure everyone's good with the timing and can get into the studio to sing. But I think we're going to have a blast making this record."
Michaels is hoping to have a first single ? likely the title track, featuring Elliott and Collen ? out by the end of the year, digitally if not on CD.

Elderly residents in the Far North are living in tents and makeshift shacks with no running water or power. Jenny Ling reports.
Far North grandmother Rachel didn't want to be a burden on her children.
So she didn't tell them when she lost her main source of income as a caregiver living in Auckland two years ago.
She didn't tell any of her kids or any other whānau when her landlord increased the rent from $200 to $300.
The 62-year-old applied for other jobs, but couldn't land one because of her age, and the benefit didn't come close to covering her bills.
So, she packed her bags and left Auckland to return home to the North.
Initially she lived in a tent on her whenua at Ngapipito, 15km south of Kaikohe.
And when winter came and her asthma started playing up and the floods washed away access to the road, she started wandering.
She paid regular visits to whānau, keeping her stays short and sweet so they wouldn't suspect anything was wrong.
She slept on couches, and if the houses weren't too crowded, a bed.
"I was living in a tent for quite some time," she said.
"I've been going from home to home ... one week here, one week there.
"I'd stay with a son or a daughter in Whangārei, I'd go to a cousins' in Kaikohe ... they all thought I was on holiday. They thought, cool you've come for a visit."
It all came to a head in October, when Rachel could no longer keep lying to her family.
The fiercely proud wahine who doesn't believe in self-pity, finally told them the truth of her living situation.
She never asked before, simply because "They've got their own lives to lead.
"It's been eating me up, the guilt has built up about so many lies.
"They cried and said I should have told them; they were shocked because I've always been a strong woman.
"It's funny how things can change on you just like that.
"You don't foresee what's coming; one minute I'm in a lovely home and the next minute it's taken away from you."
Rachel is not alone.
Other elderly in Te Tai Tokerau live in worse conditions that can only be described as Third World.
One kaumātua, who is in his 60s with a chronic health condition, lives in a house north of Kāeo with no power, no shower or toilet and no running water.
The windows of his house are boarded with corrugated iron as he can't afford to replace broken window panes and there is cardboard lining the inside walls.
A kuia who has suffered from a stroke, also in her 60s, lives under a lean-to in the same area.
But there is hope for Rachel and other Northland residents who are severely housing deprived.
The Kaikohe-based Whakamanamai Whānau Trust has set up a Whare to the Whenua scheme which sees small portable cabins delivered to residents' whenua to give them a chance at home ownership.
Run by local nurse and businesswoman Rhonda Zielinski, so far over a dozen cabins have been given to vulnerable residents who pay what they can afford each week.
The cabins cost $25,000, and if regular weekly payments of $200 are made, they can be paid off in just over two years.
Rachel, who is currently staying with her son and daughter-in-law in Whangārei, is rapt to have found a solution.
Her son is building a house on whānau land at Ngapipito, and she plans to locate her cabin nearby.
Zielinski said there is huge demand for the portacoms.
More than 100 people are already on the trust's waiting list.
"The demand shows the Government needs to do way more to help our whānau," she said.
"Their housing strategy has been very city-centric. We know how to be self-sufficient; we just need the resources to do it.
"They've got to let our strategy fit our worldview and stop putting barriers in the way."
Ministry of Social Development figures show there are 716 Northlanders on the public housing waiting list as at June 30.
Of the 247 located in the Far North, 235 are classified as people at-risk with urgent housing needs.
Of the 419 in Whangārei, 384 have urgent housing needs and of the remaining 50 in Kaipara, 39 are deemed urgent.
Te Tai Tokerau MP Kelvin Davis said he is aware some people are living in poor conditions, and that the Far North faces a "range of complex challenges".
Davis also recognised Zielinski's "amazing work to uplift and support our community".
Last term the Government invested $2 billion in the region to create jobs, drive economic growth and improve the lives of locals, he said.
The Government has also rolled out a number of programmes to tackle poverty, lift incomes and address addiction.
"We've delivered more public housing places than any other government for decades, and increased investment in wraparound services to support those who are homeless, and in programmes to help prevent people becoming homeless in the first place," Davis said.
"Everyone in New Zealand, no matter where they live, has the right to live in warm, dry, healthy homes, whether we rent or own our homes."
Zielinski said though basic, the portacoms "bring a bit of security" to whānau.
"Sometimes when they're couch surfing and their housing is not finalised the stress that goes with it is huge.
"It doesn't matter how humble your whare is, if it's yours and you know you don't have to move, you can relax.
"It's so nice to know they're safe and secure and no one's going to kick them out or sell their house.
"I know it's only an 18sq m portacom but all our whānau have got them looking beautiful. The sense of pride, it warms your heart."
Te Hau Ora Ō Ngāpuhi's housing plan
Last December Te Hau Ora Ō Ngāpuhi became the first kaupapa Māori provider in Northland to be registered by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development as a community housing provider.
This means the organisation - whose mission is to improve the social and wellbeing outcomes for whānau - can start negotiations for a contract with the ministry to provide subsidised social rentals.
Te Hau Ora Ō Ngāpuhi general manager Te Rōpu Poa said 36ha had already been purchased for the development of social housing on Bisset Rd in Kaikohe.
Of this, 7ha has been set aside for between 20 to 37 houses to be built starting after Waitangi Day next February. It is expected they will be finished within 12-24 months.
The project is part of a 30-year strategy to improve social housing in the area.
The project has not been costed, Poa said, but she expects the infrastructure alone to be $3.8m.
It is also dependent on getting resource consent and funding.
"It costs money we don't have government funding for," she said.
"We can't do that unless we have infrastructure support, like roads, sewerage systems and power connections. Until we find the funding we can't do anything."
The housing will be a "mixed tenure" of social housing; some will be sold to first home buyers and others will be rented out.
The organisation has also purchased land on Broadway for transitional housing which would see 12, two-bedroom units built to "meet current demand of homelessness and people who can't afford to pay the market rents".
Work was expected to start this month, Poa said.

STK had to shutter its doors temporarily when the space that was once Gansevoort Hotel and Perry Hotel underwent renovations to become 1 Hotel and Homes, but the hip South Beach spot is back in action, almost. Plans are for the steakhouse to officially re-launch on December 12, writes a press release. According to their reps, chef Aaron Taylor "has reimagined classic American cuisine for an innovative and inspired menu," and kept the signature dishes, so classics like the sliders, lobster mac & cheese, foie gras french toast and, of course, the steaks, remain.

Data-driven advertisers can buy ads through retail-owned platforms, as retail media distinguishes itself from the other walled gardens in the programmatic ecosystem.
As more consumers shop online, the retail industry's adoption of media tech has enabled retailers across the sector to benefit from the growing online advertising sales. Further, implementing media tech can help retailers have manufacturers pay for digital versions of shelf placements and coupon promotions.
Many retailers have adopted a walled garden approach to their evolving ad platforms to incorporate media tech successfully. Retailers, however, are relying on programmatic vendors to link their walled gardens and the open ad tech ecosystem, unlike major players like Google, Meta, and others. Walmart's off-site ad sales are handled by The Trade Desk, whereas Target's media business Roundel employs Index Exchange as an SSP and Criteo and CitrusAds for the DSP.
With retailers implementing media tech, advertisers must find ways to execute their campaigns across various channels. Big retailers like Target and Walmart already use in-house and third-party vendors for ad tech, while mid-market retailers like Albertson's use in-house retail media tech.

LAMAR COUNTY, MS (WDAM) - A local fire chief has been placed behind bars and accused of embezzlement.
Rock Hill Fire Chief William Leeroy King II was taken into custody by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.
King is charged with embezzlement involving county funds. King made his initial appearance Thursday morning and bond was set at $25,000. Authorities say king was issued a fleet card for fuel in which he is accused of using to fuel his personal vehicle. MBI believes King's activity has been ongoing for the last year.
The Mississippi State Auditor's office and the Lamar County Sheriff's Office both helped in the investigation. Authorities say more charges could be brought against him.

A cow’s behaviour provides many signals, but you will not see them if you do not watch patiently. Create a moment during the day to observe the cows without disturbing them too much. For example, you could watch them every morning before checking the attention lists in T4C. The benefit of this time is that you have background information from their signals that you can combine with the information provided by the attention lists in T4C.
Some questions you can ask yourself when observing the cows are:
How many cows are resting and how many of them are eating?
In a stress-free situation, every cow needs to lay down and eat when she wants to – not to be forced to eat or lay down because there are not enough feeding places or cubicles, for example. Normally, 7 out of 10 cows should be laying down and ruminating with the others feeding, drinking, interacting and being milked.
If you feed the cows multiple times a day (at least two times) with the Vector, there is no need for the animals to visit the feed fence all at once, because there is always enough fresh feed available for them. If you see a feed fence completely filled with cows right after the Vector has dosed feed, this can be a sign that there are not enough feedings a day. Causes might be a dosing weight per fence that is too low or a feed height threshold that is not high enough.
Is there enough feed available for the animals?
Look a few times during the day over the feed alley to see what the feed level is. If you notice that there is too much or too little feed available during the day or at certain moments such as the eating peak in the morning and afternoon, you can adjust the feed height setting and feed pause settings in the Vector system. Dosing weight, feed height and moment of feeding all have an influence on one another. This is why these settings should be balanced, which requires visual checks of what is going on the farm. Of course, choosing the right setting depends also on the preferences of the farmer and his management.
Are the cows sorting?
It is not easy to avoid cows from sorting feed, but it is relatively easy to see the signal of sorting cows. They sniff and stir their noses through the feed, looking for the tasty concentrates and licking them up. Holes and empty spots appear on the feed alley if cows are sorting feed.
However, creating the best possible mix of ration, served to the cows multiple times a day, already reduces the chance that cows will consume unbalanced feed. With the Vector system, you can adjust the ration and/or loading order every moment of the day to improve the mixing quality of the ration. Keep the basic rule of thumb – long before short and dry before wet – in mind.
Translate cow signals to Vector feeding settings
If you see any deviations in the points above, you can act directly on them by checking the Vector feed settings in T4C.
Fence settings is the place to see the set feed height, dosing weight and feed pause.
The feed height level depends on a combination of feed places, number of cows and feed intake. So, if the feed intake changes, you can act directly on this by lowering or increasing the threshold of the feed height. A feed pause can be useful in a situation when do not want the Vector to feed the cows during a certain period of time, but you still want the Vector to push the feed to make sure it is in reach of the cows.
Always bear in mind you need to serve several fresh portions of feed during day and night, so that cows always have fresh feed available.
If you have noticed sorting behaviour of the cows, you can easily adjust the ration settings in T4C. Settings like loading order and mixing minutes can improve the mixing quality directly. If you have very dry feed stuffs, consider adding water to the mix to ensure minerals stick to the roughages.
When working with long and dry materials, put them in first and add the other shorter feed types in step 2. You can even decide to use the in-between mixing time for feedstuffs that need more intensive cutting. Make sure not to finish with long feed types (last grab), since they tend to float on top of the ration and therefore establish lower mixing quality. Putting a heavy/wet feed type in last will give that bit of extra pressure to improve mixing behaviour.
General guidelines for mixing times are:
- Ration with overall short feed stuffs (high concentrate rations): 2 – 5 minutes
- Ration with overall medium feed stuffs (corn / grass silage): 6 – 10 minutes
- Ration with overall long feed stuffs (round bales, uncut materials): 10 – 15 minutes
Also, make sure not to overload the MFR, as this will negatively influence the mixing behaviour and decrease the quality of the mix.

There are many prolific record holders in the Guinness World Records (GWR) archives. But none of their achievements quite match those of title holder Ashrita Furman, from Brooklyn, New York, who has become famous as the man with the most Guinness World Records titles.
Does Tony Hawk hold any world records?
Biggest Spin For many years, the record for the most rotations in mid-air was held by Tony Hawk. At the 1999 X Games, he pulled off a 900—meaning he completed two-and-a-half full spins, or a 900-degree turn. In 2012, 12-year-old skater Tom Schaar did one better, completing the very first 1080-degree spin.
Who invented the Ollie?
Invented in the late 1970s by Alan “Ollie” Gelfand, the ollie has become a skateboarding fundamental, the basis for many other more complicated tricks. In its simplest form, the ollie is a jumping technique that allows skaters to hop over obstacles and onto curbs, etc.
Who invented skateboard?
Who Invented Skateboarding? Bill Richards invented the skateboard in 1958 when he attached rollerblading wheels to a wooden board. This was called the Roller Derby Skateboard, and it went on sale in 1959. These were extremely thick boards with narrow trucks and clay wheels.
Has anyone done more than 900?
In 2011, Hawk was still able to land his famous 900 and posted a video of the trick via his Twitter account stating “I’m 43 and I did a 900 today.” On June 27, 2016, Hawk successfully landed another 900 at age 48, 17 years to the day from when he completed his first at the X-Games, and indicated that it would likely be …
Has anyone ever done a 1080 on a skateboard?
Gui Khury, 12, made history on Friday when he became the first person to ever land a 1080 on a vert ramp in competition. If that wasn’t enough, the historic feat occurred at the X Games and in front of Tony Hawk—the legendary skater who could never land the trick himself.
Who was the first person to do a 900 on a skateboard?
Tonight, in the sixth X Games at Pier 30 overlooking San Francisco Bay, Tony Hawk of San Diego became the first skateboarder ever to land the 900, his sport’s equivalent of the four-minute mile.
Who invented the skateboard kickflip?
Teaches Skateboarding. The kickflip, invented by Curt Lindgren in the 1970s, was one of skateboarding’s first aerial tricks.
Who invented tre flip?
The tre flip, also known as the 360 kickflip or 360 flip, is a skateboarding trick invented by Rodney Mullen. The tre flip is a combination of a backside 360 pop shove-it and a kickflip.
Who invented the Miller flip?
Miller Flip: Frontside invert flipped around to fakie: “ The Miller flip was invented by Darryl ‘Gnarls’ Miller— super rad dude. Basically it’s an invert were you just flip straight over backwards, ram your nose into the wall, and roll down the wall backwards. It was the first true flip on a skateboard.”
Who made skateboarding popular?
Skateboarding’s 1970s rise to mainstream culture was best popularized by the 2005 film, “Lords of DogTown.” In 1975, as seen in the film, the Zephyr skateboarding team spearheaded by Tony Alva, showed the world skateboarding’s potential at the Ocean Festival in Del Mar, California.
Where is skateboarding most popular?
Barcelona is viewed by many as the top skateboarding city in the world and as a mecca for the sport. The terrace of the MACBA is the epicenter of the skateboarding world in Barcelona and is quite a scene on the weekend. Barcelona is widely known as the top skateboarding city in the world and as a mecca for the sport.
Has anyone done a 1260?
Brusco is the first skateboarder in history to successfully land a 1260, a skateboard trick in which the rider makes three-and-half revolutions in the air before landing, in competition. He also has held other records involving the 1080 and the 900.
How rich is Tony Hawk?
As of 2022, Tony Hawk’s net worth is roughly $140 million. Anthony “Tony” Frank Hawk is an American professional skateboarder, actor, and owner of skateboard company Birdhouse.
Has Tony Hawk ever done a 1080?
Twelve-year-old skateboarder Gui Khury made history at the X Games over the weekend, landing the first 1080 in competition. Khury landed the trick in front of skating legend Tony Hawk, who dropped into the competition as a surprise entrant just before the event.
What’s the hardest trick in skateboarding?
1. Laser Flip. The laser flip is probably the hardest flat ground trick to land. It combines a 360 shuv with a varial heelflip.
Who did Tony Hawk skate for?
His parents were supportive of his new hobby, and they later organized the California Amateur Skateboard League and the National Skateboard Association to help provide legitimacy to the sport. Hawk was 14 when he signed with the Powell Peralta professional team and starred in the famous Bones Brigade videos.

Life as Art
Wow, I am overwhelmed with the creativity in the blogging community! I was lucky enough to find Michelle at a sweet life blog right away. She's been a joy to get to know and I appreciate her candid advice for a newbie blogger. She also was sweet enough to put a link to artsymama on her post. I was both greatly appreciative and a little overwhelmed. Is my site good enough for all that traffic? Will people that read Michelle's wonderful blog find anything of interest on my blog? I decided to skip the self deprecating talk and open my arms to this community. So for those of you checking out this blog for the first time, or if you've checked back often in these first weeks of publication, I just want to extend a wholehearted thank you. Thank you for your interest, your comments, and your inspiration. In the last few days I've been looking through dozens and dozens of unique and creative blogs. I enjoy looking down the list of favorite links that many of you have. So far my own favorite links list now tops 60 blogs! I wish I could check each of them every day.
I'm not sure how this blog will evolve, but my intention is to keep posting as often as I can. I will share personal art, writing and photography and also some fun artsy links and inspirations. So pull up a chair, grab a hot cocoa and a scone, take a peek at my world and please share yours as well.


Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said Thursday that the city's public schools will continue to enforce a school mask mandate beyond the end of the month. Her announcement comes shortly after Gov. Charlie Baker announced that the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) would end the statewide school mask mandate on Feb. 28.
Baker said the increasing availability of vaccines, antiviral treatments and rapid tests were big factors behind the decision, adding "it's time to give our kids a sense of normalcy and lift the mask mandate on a statewide basis for schools." Officials with DESE also highlighted that the decision was made in conjunction with medical and public health experts.
“I won’t presume to know what should or could have gone into the governor’s calculation,” said Wu during a media briefing about the city budget process. “What I know is that the city of Boston is not ready to lift our mask mandate, and so ours will stay in place for the time being.”
Wu says health metrics will be the determining factor for lifting BPS's masking policy. Those include hospitalization rates, percent positivity and vaccination rates.
She adds that schools will also need to wait for those numbers to be consistently trending downward, because of the conditions when students are together.
"Not only is it tighter physical space, because our classrooms can be quite crowded," Wu said, "but there are larger vaccination gaps among our younger students especially."
As of Feb. 3 the vaccination rate among 5 to11 year-olds in Boston was still pretty low, around 32%. That number is much higher among 12 to 15 year-olds, however, coming in at 70% according to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
Wu did not have an estimate for how long the school mask mandate will last in Boston. In the meantime, she encouraged educators to plan for more outdoor learning time when students can be unmasked.
Catholic schools in Boston, however, will lift their mask mandate. Archdiocese of Boston Catholic Schools Superintendent, Thomas Carroll, announced Wednesday that the school system would stop requiring face coverings once the statewide mandate lifts.
"We are proud of our decision to keep our Catholic schools open," said Carroll in a statement. "And doing so in a way that has kept our students, faculty and staff safe during the global pandemic."


Samsung’s latest flagship device – the Galaxy S10 is undoubtedly one of the best Android smartphones available. It comes with top-notch specs that offer an amazing smartphone experience. Although all smartphones may come across lags and freezes at some point in time, the Galaxy S10 is no exception. If your Galaxy S10 has been non-responsive or freezes frequently, you may need to reset it. Today, we will let you know about a simple way to soft/hard reset Galaxy S10.
You always have an option to either soft reset or hard reset your device, it is always preferable to try soft resetting first. A soft reset will not remove any data or default settings, it just closes all applications and clears any data in RAM and restarts your device. On the other hand, a hard reset wipes off all the data and reset the phone to default factory settings and thus resolving any issues you may face on your device.
Soft Reset Galaxy S10
In order to soft reset your Galaxy S10, press and hold the Volume Down and the Power button simultaneously for a few seconds. This action would result in restarting your phone and may fix your issue.
Hard Reset Galaxy S10
A Hard reset should only be tried if you have are experiencing some major issues on your smartphone and a soft reset didn’t help. Before performing a hard reset, you should back up your data as it wipes off all your data and reset the phone to default factory settings. There are two ways to hard reset your Samsung Galaxy S10 device:
- As the first step, you would need to switch off your phone. Once done, press the Volume Up and Bixby button simultaneously.
- While holding both these buttons, push and release the Power button that switches on your device.
- When the device switches on and Samsung logo appears on your screen, release all three buttons. The display now shows “Installing System Updates” with “No Command”, followed by the “Android Recovery Menu.”
- In the Android Recovery Menu, use the volume buttons to scroll up and down to choose “Wipe Data/Factory Reset” option. Now push your “Power” button to select that highlighted choice.
Wait for some time and let your smartphone reset and once the process completes, you may proceed with restoring all the data from your backup.
The above process may seem quite complex to some users and as an alternate option, just head over to Settings and select General Management. Now tap on Reset -> Factory Data Reset -> Delete All to factory reset your device.
We hope our guide to reset Galaxy S10 would have helped you in performing the task easily and efficiently. If you have any problem, you can comment below.

The years 2010 through 2019 will go down in Illinois history as a decade of public policy failure and economic decline. High fixed costs for pensions and government worker health care have prevented the state from balancing its budget in any year since 2001. Since the Great Recession in 2008, the state’s fiscal imbalance has...View Report
Prairie State politicians are allowed to determine when they have a conflict of interest, and whether they should recuse themselves from voting or disclose a conflict. HB 4041 would change that.
Despite Gov. J.B. Pritzker touting growth in “every major region,” Illinois shed jobs in three metropolitan areas and lagged the national average in seven more.
Illinois is one of the few states that lets lawmakers or state agency chiefs become a lobbyist the day after leaving office. A new ethics bill would stop that.
Illinois’ legislative inspector general investigates complaints against state lawmakers, but a commission of their peers can – and did – bury those findings, the former inspector said. A new bill would change that.
Fewer people want to live in states with progressive income taxes. So after 6 straight years of population loss, why would Illinois want to join them?
The proposal to limit red-light cameras in Illinois is making progress as another bill’s sponsor believes she can garner the votes to ban them entirely.
Arroyo resigned from his seat in the Illinois General Assembly after his arrest in October on bribery charges. He now faces up to 10 years in prison for bribery.
A proposal in the Illinois General Assembly would prohibit right-to-work laws in Illinois, making Illinois the only state in the nation to ban the policy in a state constitution.
Illinois lawmakers are currently paid for the entire month, even if they resign before the end of it. A new bill could change that.
Robust growth in government spending has failed to yield similar results for Illinoisans’ incomes

School pupils enjoyed a visit to Miss Lillian MacLeod and her beautiful Weaving Studio to learn more about the weaving process. It was very kind of Lillian to show us around her studio and she explained the processes involved in using the three different looms that she has. To top it off the pupils were treated to some juice and some of Lillian’s delicious baking! I think we may have some weavers in the making!

Scientists at Stanford University examined how varying doses of UVB radiation changes the protective functions of human skin, finding that beyond DNA damage and cancer risk, UV rays also change the way the outermost skin cells hold together and respond to strain.
Reinhold Dauskardt, professor of materials science and engineering at Stanford, has been studying skin for years. But when he sent his students to look for data on the mechanical properties of skin, they came back empty-handed. A lot was known about skin structure and disease, but few papers actually talked about its mechanical function – its ability to stretch and resist tension without tearing. “That motivated us to get more interested in the skin itself,” said Dauskardt.
He and his team, including doctoral student Krysta Biniek and postdoctoral researcher Kemal Levi, focused on the outermost layer of skin, the stratum corneum. It protects deeper layers from drying out or getting infected, and it’s also our first line of defense against UV radiation. Their study was published on October 1 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
They found that beyond the well-documented DNA damage and cancer risk, UV rays also change the way the outermost skin cells hold together and respond to strain.
Ironically, the methodology behind these discoveries about skin damage originated in the field of photovoltaics, where sunshine is seen as a good thing. A grant from the U.S. Department of Energy supported Dauskardt’s research into the effects of prolonged UV exposure on materials – in particular, the materials that make up solar panels.
“Here we were looking at solar cells then suddenly thinking, ‘Hey, we should be looking at applying these techniques to skin,'” Dauskardt said.
The researchers subjected samples of human tissue to varying doses of UVB radiation. (UVB is the range of ultraviolet wavelengths that are largely absorbed by the epidermis and do not penetrate to deeper layers.) Then they tested the mechanical limits of the samples by putting them under different kinds of stress until they tore.
We’ve all experienced the sensations of dryness, stiffness or chapping after washing our hands with harsh soap, sitting by a space heater or under the air conditioning vent, or spending too long in the sun. Now we can begin to understand the mechanical properties behind those sensations. This is the first time that such methods have been applied to the study of skin.
The human fortress
Our body’s outermost defensive layer, the stratum corneum has a “brick-and-mortar” structure. The “bricks” in this model are dead cells called corneocytes, which are filled with a matrix of keratin filaments. Our skin’s rigidity – its ability to resist deformation under pressure – is due largely to the bonds between these strands of protein. The researchers were surprised to find that while the keratin was structurally changed by UVB exposure, the stiffness of the tissue wasn’t affected. When the skin samples were pulled apart, samples with greater UVB exposure were just as resistant.
The “mortar” of skin defense, on the other hand, took a beating from the UV rays. Between the corneocytes is a layer of lipids – fatty, waxy substances that hold the skin cells together and keep water from getting though. In a process called bulge testing, thin strips of skin were mounted over the opening of a cavity filled with pressurized water so they ballooned outward.
The team found that UV exposure increased the tissue’s tendency to absorb water and loosened the bonds between the lipids, making the tissue more likely to tear under pressure. This means that sun-damaged skin is more prone to cracking and chapping, leaving deeper layers vulnerable to infection.
In another technique borrowed from materials science, the researchers used a double cantilever beam model to test the cohesive properties of skin. Imagine restaurant chopsticks being pried open, but with a tissue sample glued into the region that gets torn apart. UV damage made the individual corneocytes separate more easily, especially in deeper layers of the stratum corneum.
This result suggests that another component of the “mortar,” proteins called corneodesmosomes, were also being damaged. These proteins are crucial to desquamation – the process of shedding dead skin cells, which allows us to replace the entire stratum corneum every two to four weeks. While the long-term impact of UV exposure on the desquamation mechanism has not been studied yet, damage to corneodesmosomes could mean deeper, lasting damage to the skin’s protective abilities.
Double the damage
All this rigorous stress testing revealed a grim fact: The sun takes a dramatic toll on our mechanical barrier function.
“UV exposure doesn’t just make the stratum corneum weaker,” said Dauskardt. “It also increases the actual stresses that cause the stratum corneum to fail. So it’s sort of a double-whammy, which we didn’t expect.” In other words, UV radiation introduces more force that drives skin cells apart while making the cells more helpless to resist.
This double threat is especially relevant to public health, as global climate change will gradually change the way people interact with the sun. The spectrum of sunlight that penetrates to Earth’s surface is increasing, while warmer temperatures cause people to wear less clothing and make them more vulnerable.
Mechanical testing is also confirming the vital importance of wearing sunscreen to protect the skin’s integrity.
“It’s totally cool,” said Dauskardt. “You put a sunscreen on the sample and it causes a huge change in the way the skin is affected.” This line of research offers a straightforward strategy for finding the best protection. These methods can quickly and accurately model how different sun protection products affect the skin’s mechanics. Dauskardt has already started comparative testing of sunscreens and thinks the work could be relevant in settling a currently raging debate about which types are most effective.
Dauskardt said the project is an example of breakthrough results arising from unlikely cooperation. “What’s so cool about bioengineering research today is that we’re taking medical challenges and looking at them with current engineering and scientific methods. This whole interdisciplinary approach is incredibly powerful, and you never know what it’s going to reveal.”

As we were leaving we spied a new vendor. I was told it was “the latest thing” so naturally I had to try it. It was fun and delicious as my grapefruit tea’s mango fruit bubbles traveled up the straw to my mouth. How fun, I definitely recommend trying it. There is a huge selection of items, flavors, and even yogurt infused slushies.

How about a car show for some simple pleasure? No small town festival would be complete without one! I don't know anything about cars except if they are pretty or not, and these sure were pretty. Here are just a couple of cars that I took photos of. I'm sure I'll post more later. I also took this opportunity to play with my editing; I have a tendency to like my photos vivid, so I tried to break out of that box a little here. Hope you enjoy!
I'm sharing the first two photos with LEM where the theme is AQUA. I'm also sharing with . . .

text: cotton harvester, machine for harvesting cotton bolls. Mechanical cotton harvesters are of two basic types, strippers and pickers. Stripper-type harvesters strip the entire plant of both open and unopened bolls along with many leaves and stems. The unwanted material is then removed by special devices at the gin. Strippers work most satisfactorily after frost has killed the green vegetative growth. Picker machines, often referred to as spindle-type harvesters, remove the cotton from open bolls and leave the bur on the plant. The spindles, which rotate on their axes at a high speed, are attached to a drum that also turns, causing the spindles to enter the plant. The cotton fibre is wrapped around the moistened spindles and then taken off by a special device called the doffer, from which the cotton is delivered to a large basket carried above the machine. Although a cotton harvester was patented in the U.S. in 1850, economic and social conditions prevented further development and full acceptance until the 1940s.
