Jonny Lang that is!
PB and I saw him Thursday night at an outdoor venue. This kid is awesome!! If you like the blues at all check him out!
He was 16 when his first (acutally 2nd) disc was out that made a decent splash in 1997. He plays like he's possesed by a long since gone blues legend and looks like it too. He has definately grown in style and heart since his early disc. However, he keeps his growl and rasp that made me love him in the first place.

A registered massage therapist should be a key part of your healthcare team as a whole. Massage therapy helps build up your immune system, improves circulation, and can be an important part of recovery from soft tissue injury. As well as reducing stress hormones, anxiety and depression, massage can also help to manage the pain and symptoms of various chronic diseases. You will have the joints and muscles to add massage therapy to your regular personal care routine.
You can rest assured that your body will be happy that you have visited a registered massage therapist in Calgary if you are on the fence at all. The advantages of massage far outweigh any discomfort with pain, sleepiness, or tender muscles that you may experience. Massage therapists are trained professionals and during your appointment, you always have the opportunity to determine how much or how little clothing you wear. To adjust their pressure or to avoid certain areas, you can also ask your registered massage therapist. You have complete control over the massage and how it goes, so there is little reason to avoid taking advantage of this valuable option for treatment.
Here are the top 5 reasons you should visit a registered massage therapist in Calgary:
- Improve immune function – Massage helps to release toxins built up, promotes lymphatic drainage and decreases the system's stress hormones. All of these variables contribute to improved immune function and help you stay healthy and, when they occur, fight off viruses and infections.
- Relaxation – There are some forms of massage that are deeper than others. When your nervous system realizes it can rest and rejuvenate, a lighter massage technique can promote immediate relaxation. You will notice more of the relaxation advantages after the massage for deeper tissue therapeutic massage. Once again, the release of tension and toxins helps the body relax, both in the nervous system, but also around the muscles and other stress-related areas.
- Increase Joint Mobility – You enable joints to move more freely by promoting relaxation in tense muscles. The increased flow of blood from a massage also gets the joints fully engaged and better moving. Flexibility from massage is also increased, so with regular massage therapy, your joints will certainly be happy.
- Reduce anxiety & depression – Positive neuropathies are created by human touch. Massage also promotes the release of beneficial hormones, such as dopamine, which help fight depression and anxiety symptoms. A registered massage therapist massage can encourage relaxation in order to calm the nervous system and create positive flows to decrease depression.
- Injury Recovery – A registered massage therapist can help you to get the muscles and joints back on track if you have a soft tissue injury, and can encourage faster healing.
It can make a big difference in how you feel and how your body systems function by getting periodic massages from a registered massage therapist. Be sure to select an amazing massage therapist and you'll be very pleased you've done it.

Exhaust without hurting warenty? Mufflers?
Since this is a dodge forum... I picked up a 2010 RT 6 speed today sick car. Couldnt justify extra 10 grand for an SRT. Is the suspension and all the same on the RT and SRT? I got it for 27500 new with 20 inch chrome rims, 6, speed, and sun roof. How did I do price wise?
I want to run a K&N. Will it improve anything or hurt the factory warrenty? Can I run 87 oct fuel in it without issues?
I want to make this thing sound as good as it looks without hurting the warenty. I love flow master single chamber 10 series but they are short. I want to just replace the mufflers and nothing else for pure sound increases. I want a loud and good sounding exhaust for dodge challenger. What are my options. FYI I LOVE the way this sounds...
If I could get it this tone and loud with only changing the mufflers and not hurting the warenty I would be really happy


The season of the popcorn blockbuster is coming to an end, which is pretty okay when you remember that things like 'Battleship,' 'What to Expect When You’re Expecting' (give us some credit, Hollywood) and 'Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Witness Protection Program' are getting booted from theaters to make room for some gritty, innovative cinema from directors like Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, Kathryn Bigelow, and -- yup -- RZA.
Sucks to say bye to 'Dark Night Rises,' 'Moonrise Kingdom,' and 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,' but they had their time in the sun. As far as what's coming to replace them, it’s tough to pick just five to recommend. 'Jack Reacher,' 'The Hobbit,' 'Argo' and 'Lincoln' all seem worth the price of a ticket but… five is five. Here goes.
Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson
Cast: Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams
Date: September 14
'There Will Be Blood' proved that Anderson is up there with the greats: Kurosawa, David Lean, Scorsese. He’s got a knack for showing the slow and painful downfall of men who were at the top of their game and then let their ego get the best of them ('Boogie Nights,' the phony self-help guru played by Tom Cruise in 'Magnolia,' greedy oil tycoon Daniel Plainview).
'The Master' looks like it’s taking that theme to a 10. Hoffman plays a charismatic cult leader who lures an alcoholic drifter (Phoenix) into his weird, manipulative world. It’s been a long time since Phoenix has been on screen (not counting his bonkers journey into hip-hop and that train wreck 'I’m Not Here'), and no matter how nuts he acts in real life, he’s sick to watch on screen.
Anderson screened the flick for his buddy Tom Cruise because, yep, it’s inspired by Scientology. Word is Cruise didn’t exactly give it a standing ovation. Pretty sure this one will be a mind bender.
Directed by Rian Johnson
Cast: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt
Date: September 28
This high-concept action thriller has Gordon-Leavitt playing a time-traveling mafia hitman from 2047 who gets paid to kill people sent back from 2077. What? Whatever -- it looks awesome. The story takes a twist when one of his targets turns out to be an older version of himself, played by Willis. The visuals look awesome, Willis can’t seem to be anything but cool on screen, and Johnson’s first film, 'Brick,' was a modern-day noir that rocked.
Killing Them Softly
Directed by Andrew Dominik
Cast: Brad Pitt, Scoot McNairy, Ben Mendelsohn, Richard Jenkins, Ray Liotta, James Gandolfini, Sam Shepard
Date: November 30
Pitt is at his best when he’s playing dark dudes ('Kalifornia,' 'Fight Club,' 'Twelve Monkeys'), and here he’s a professional enforcer who’s hired (along with Gandolfini) to investigate a heist gone wrong during a mob poker game.
The slick 1970s style, the cast, and the fact that Pitt’s character Jackie Cogan growls lines like, “I like to kill them softly, from a distance,” are all promising signs, right? Plus it’s directed by Dominik, who did 'The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford' and 'Chopper' (with a beefed-up, tatted Eric Bana). Word on the street is strong.
Zero Dark Thirty
Directed by Kathryn Bigelow
Cast: Chris Pratt, Jessica Chastain, Joel Edgerton
Date: December 19
Bigelow is the perfect person to helm the story of the hunt for bin Laden and his eventual death at the hands of the Navy SEAL team in 2011. Coming off The Hurt Locker it’ll be cool to see how she makes the SEAL mission cinematic and visceral as hell -- which is a given.
She directed 'Point Break' -- if you look past the corny lines and remember that long foot chase, you know she’s a badass behind the lens who’s been honing her craft for a very long time.
Directed by Quentin Tarantino
Cast: Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington, Samuel L. Jackson
Date: December 25
Okay, technically, this comes out in the winter -- but only by three days. Besides, it’s Tarantino. It’s also Tarantino doing a Spaghetti Western, so you know it’s gonna be good.
Jamie Foxx is a slave who’s “freed” by a bounty hunter (Waltz) and goes on a bloody, gory quest to save his wife from a psycho plantation owner (DiCaprio). Don Johnson plays another sadistic plantation owner and if you saw him as Kenny Powers’ lowlife dad on 'Eastbound and Down' or Von Jackson in 'Machete,' you know he’s come a long way since Nash Bridges.
If you can't wait till Christmas to get a taste of 'Django,' check out the Red Bull 'Django Unchained' Emerging Artist Contest entries, including the winning short film, 'The Writer,' from Edson Oda.
Epiloque: A few more flicks that are coming up in the next few months that look worth the time include RZA’s 'The Man With the Iron Fists.' RZA wrote it with Eli Roth and RZA also directs and acts in this one with Russell Crowe, Lucy Lui and Pam Grier -- plus, it takes place in feudal China. There’s also the horror flick 'Sinister' with Ethan Hawke, 'Cloud Atlas,' 'Silver Linings Playbook' and the next Bond movie 'Skyfall' … Who needs summer blockbusters? It’s on.

Ford Motor Company recently announced that the 2019 F-150 Raptor off-road pickup will feature upgraded technology, including electronically controlled FOX shocks, a new Trail Control feature, and all-new Recaro sport seats. Ford claims that the upgrades will make the iconic pickup an even tougher, smarter, and more capable trail runner.
“Raptor’s success is rooted in its incredible suspension, superb vehicle control and the confidence the truck instills in its owners,” said Hermann Salenbauch, global director, Ford Performance vehicle programs. “Upgrades to the 2019 F-150 Raptor have improved all three to new levels that the competition will have to benchmark—again.”
While Raptor features plenty of torque and horsepower, building a high-performance off-road truck isn’t just about engine power—it’s also about the suspension. Raptor’s suspension upgrades make it even more capable of clawing away at the rough terrain.
To enhance Raptor’s already proven internal bypass shocks, Ford Performance worked directly with FOX to develop all-new electronically controlled Live Valve technology for the new platform that continuously adjusts damping in real-time. This class-exclusive setup uses sensors in the suspension and body to maximize comfort, handling and bottom-out resistance.
“By automatically varying compression rates, Raptor can now make the most of its suspension travel of 13 inches at the front and 13.9 inches at the rear,” said Salenbauch. “The 2019 Raptor is not just more capable off-road. It’s smarter.”
Paired with Raptor’s Terrain Management System, Live Valve suspension technology can increase the truck’s high-speed, off-road capability while also enabling smooth on-road driving performance.
“Not many trucks need sensors to detect when you are midair,” said Salenbauch. “Raptor sets the dampers to full stiffness to help smooth shock performance as the truck lands.”
Low-speed performance off-road is also improved. The new Trail Control feature helps F-150 Raptor drivers navigate challenging conditions. It’s like cruise control for low-speed, rugged terrain, automatically adjusting power and braking to each individual wheel to allow drivers to focus on steering over rugged terrain. Trail Control can be activated at speeds from 1 mph up to 20 mph depending on driveline position.
The system makes everything easier—from driving on a simple two-track trail to traversing a rocky hill climb. Not only can Trail Control automatically draw significant engine torque to overcome steep obstacles, but it can also individually brake the wheels so the truck comes down smoothly on the other side.
Raptor drivers now have enhanced seats to help keep them firmly in place for improved confidence at low and high speeds. All-new Recaro sport seats provide aggressive support with generous bolstering in the seat back and cushion. This available seat design features blue Alcantara inserts and accent stitching inspired by the Light Speed-colored interior of the Ford GT supercar.
Raptor’s aggressive exterior gets even more intense for 2019 with new colors, including Ford Performance Blue, Velocity Blue and Agate Black. An enhanced rear appliqué and available newly designed beadlock-capable wheels will round out the new 2019 look.
The payload ratings for the 2019 Raptor still haven’t been published, but significant changes between the 2018 and 2019 models aren’t expected. The 2018 Raptor Supercab provides a maximum payload of 1,000 pounds, while the 2018 Raptor Supercrew provides a max payload of up to 1,200 pounds.
The upgraded 2019 F-150 Raptor will be built at Dearborn Truck Plant and will go on sale in late 2018.

Cadinho93’s review published on Letterboxd:
"Men prefer sorrow over joy... suffering over peace!"
Ran is a stunning, beautiful film and a masterpiece. It's a great adaptation of Shakespeare's "King Lear". It's style is somewhat theatrical: the makeup and costumes, use of color, camera viewpoint is often set like one is watching a stage play. Though, there is also a beautiful display and use of the landscape in the story telling. The battle scenes with hundreds of cavalry are thrilling, something that no one would do today. Overall, Ran is amazingly wise, artful, soulful, most astonishingly unique and it's one of Akira Kurosawa's absolute best.

This article explains the spanning tree implementation of MUL SDN Controller.
This feature is used when there are one or more occurrences of loop in the network. Spanning Tree implementation makes sure that there are no loops when there are two or more paths to reach a particular network element. Once a loop is occurred due to a broadcast stream then it can be deadly for the network. So, this makes Loop Detection feature an antidote for any network.
Loop detection module uses LLDP for implementing Spanning Tree. When network element is added to a network, MUL SDN controller sends LLDP packets to every port of the attached network element. By doing this, MUL Controller gets the information about the network topology.
After getting all the information about the neighbours, port states needs to be decided.
Details of the process are :
To start with the spanning tree implementation, MUL selects one of the network elements as Root. (Normally, the one with the lowest cost)
MUL designates three statuses to ports:
- Root Port
- The port which is directly/indirectly reaches the Root.
- Designated Port
- These are ports with the smallest cost to reach Root Port.
- Non-designated Port
- These are the ports which are block by Loop Detection module and hence, not used for forwarding any data packet.
MUL maintains 5 states for ports. State of the port plays an important role in deciding the port behaviour and its role. The states of ports are as:
- INIT – Initial State
- NONE – Learning State
- ACTIVE – Forwarding State
- BLOCKED – Blocked State
- DOWN – Administratively Down State
It may happen if operator administratively activates/de-activates any port, any switch comes up or goes down which may introduce loop in the network. Loop detection module will not allow any loop to occur. It will start all the calculation again to optimally find loop-free paths between all nodes. It will make sure of loop free connectivity of the network.

Building a custom car frame requires time, effort, money and the right kind of tools. A full garage with professional accessories is the only way to build a custom car frame, especially if you are dealing with older antique cars. While it is possible to find frames in good condition through the junkyard or dealers, there are always customised options that creative minds add to the frames for a completely customised vehicle and doing so requires specialised skills to work around materials that are not always readily available.
- Skill level:
Things you need
- Fully-stocked garage with car-building tools
Decide the type of custom car you want to create and go from there. Purchase basic frames from companies such as TCI and Speedway Motors or head to the junkyard and look for older vehicles that have their frames still intact, such as the Model A frame Ford used from 1903 until 1931. Order online from vendors if you cannot find anything locally at your junkyard or through a basic frame manufacturer.
Stock up on raw steel tubing as well as steel frame pieces to use in the customisation process. Begin the process by modifying the frame you already have. Cut off any mounts or brackets that you do not plan on using, such as running board brackets and bumper mounts if you plan on having a bumper-less vehicle. Remove any suspension and axles from the frame and keep all the spare parts for later use, as you never know what you might need in a custom project.
Place the entire frame on a centerline gauge tool once you have cleaned it up. Use a telescoping tram with the gauge tool to check the alignment of the frame and adjust it as necessary with a hydraulic ram and push/spread tools. Continually check the alignment throughout the process if your frame needs any straightening.
Improve any weak spots on older frames by analysing the sections and boxing in the frame as necessary. Weld flat steel plates or rectangular steel tubing across weakened sections such as where rust has deteriorated the metal over time. Cut away any old sections and replace them with new, and bolt/weld on any new brackets you think you will need for the new frame, suspension, engine and other accessories.
Grind and sandblast the entire frame down to the metal and remove all burrs, bumps, rust and other imperfections. Purchase car frame paint and paint the entire frame to finish the customisation. Apply primer first, then two or three coats of the frame paint, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Allow to dry and finish building your custom car.
Tips and warnings
- Building a custom car frame can only be done by individuals with a working knowledge of tools, vehicles, wiring, engines, welding, metalwork and a fully-stocked garage with professional-grade tools.
- Always wear safety gear when working with power tools of any kind.

Where did it all start?
After taking photos of my travels and then our travels and landscapes for years (just ask my poor husband).
I started photographing our first daughter to capture some of those early special memories.
Friends and family asked me to capture some of their special moments too, and it is here where my passion for relaxed, candid lifestyle photography grew.
From then on I knew that I wanted to keep storytelling, leading me into Weddings.
There is something so special about creating timeless memories for a couple to cherish forever.

Women's cricket was first recorded in Surrey in 1745. International development began at the start of the 20th century and the first Test Match was played between Australia and England in December 1934. The following year, New Zealand women joined them, and in 2007 Netherlands women became the tenth women's Test nation when they made their debut against South Africa women. In 1958, the International Women's Cricket Council was founded (it merged with the ICC in 2005). In 1973, the first Cricket World Cup of any kind took place when a Women's World Cup was held in England. In 2005, the International Women's Cricket Council was merged with the International Cricket Council (ICC) to form one unified body to help manage and develop cricket. The ICC Women's Rankings were launched on 1 October 2015 covering all three formats of women's cricket. In October 2018 following the ICC's decision to award T20 International status to all members, the Women's rankings were split into separate ODI (for Full Members) and T20I lists.
Male crickets establish their dominance over each other by aggression. They start by lashing each other with their antennae and flaring their mandibles. Unless one retreats at this stage, they resort to grappling, at the same time each emitting calls that are quite unlike those uttered in other circumstances. When one achieves dominance, it sings loudly, while the loser remains silent.
A phylogenetic study by Jost & Shaw in 2006 using sequences from 18S, 28S, and 16S rRNA supported the monophyly of Ensifera. Most ensiferan families were also found to be monophyletic, and the superfamily Gryllacridoidea was found to include Stenopelmatidae, Anostostomatidae, Gryllacrididae and Lezina. Schizodactylidae and Grylloidea were shown to be sister taxa, and Rhaphidophoridae and Tettigoniidae were found to be more closely related to Grylloidea than had previously been thought. The authors stated that "a high degree of conflict exists between the molecular and morphological data, possibly indicating that much homoplasy is present in Ensifera, particularly in acoustic structures." They considered that tegmen stridulation and tibial tympanae are ancestral to Ensifera and have been lost on multiple occasions, especially within the Gryllidae.
A skilled batsman can use a wide array of "shots" or "strokes" in both defensive and attacking mode. The idea is to hit the ball to the best effect with the flat surface of the bat's blade. If the ball touches the side of the bat it is called an "edge". The batsman does not have to play a shot and can allow the ball to go through to the wicketkeeper. Equally, he does not have to attempt a run when he hits the ball with his bat. Batsmen do not always seek to hit the ball as hard as possible, and a good player can score runs just by making a deft stroke with a turn of the wrists or by simply "blocking" the ball but directing it away from fielders so that he has time to take a run. A wide variety of shots are played, the batsman's repertoire including strokes named according to the style of swing and the direction aimed: e.g., "cut", "drive", "hook", "pull".
In 1611, the year Cotgrave's dictionary was published, ecclesiastical court records at Sidlesham in Sussex state that two parishioners, Bartholomew Wyatt and Richard Latter, failed to attend church on Easter Sunday because they were playing cricket. They were fined 12d each and ordered to do penance. This is the earliest mention of adult participation in cricket and it was around the same time that the earliest known organised inter-parish or village match was played – at Chevening, Kent. In 1624, a player called Jasper Vinall died after he was accidentally struck on the head during a match between two parish teams in Sussex.
The innings (ending with 's' in both singular and plural form) is the term used for each phase of play during a match. Depending on the type of match being played, each team has either one or two innings. Sometimes all eleven members of the batting side take a turn to bat but, for various reasons, an innings can end before they have all done so. The innings terminates if the batting team is "all out", a term defined by the Laws: "at the fall of a wicket or the retirement of a batsman, further balls remain to be bowled but no further batsman is available to come in". In this situation, one of the batsmen has not been dismissed and is termed not out; this is because he has no partners left and there must always be two active batsmen while the innings is in progress.
Some species of cricket are polyandrous. In Gryllus bimaculatus, the females select and mate with multiple viable sperm donors, preferring novel mates. Female Teleogryllus oceanicus crickets from natural populations similarly mate and store sperm from multiple males. Female crickets exert a postcopulatory fertilization bias in favour of unrelated males to avoid the genetic consequences of inbreeding. Fertilization bias depends on the control of sperm transport to the sperm storage organs. The inhibition of sperm storage by female crickets can act as a form of cryptic female choice to avoid the severe negative effects of inbreeding. Controlled-breeding experiments with the cricket Gryllus firmus demonstrated inbreeding depression, as nymphal weight and early fecundity declined substantially over the generations' this was caused as expected by an increased frequency of homozygous combinations of deleterious recessive alleles.

Most bowlers are considered specialists in that they are selected for the team because of their skill as a bowler, although some are all-rounders and even specialist batsmen bowl occasionally. The specialists bowl several times during an innings but may not bowl two overs consecutively. If the captain wants a bowler to "change ends", another bowler must temporarily fill in so that the change is not immediate.
The world's earliest known cricket match was a village cricket meeting in Kent which has been deduced from a 1640 court case recording a "cricketing" of "the Weald and the Upland" versus "the Chalk Hill" at Chevening "about thirty years since" (i.e., c. 1611). Inter-parish contests became popular in the first half of the 17th century and continued to develop through the 18th with the first local leagues being founded in the second half of the 19th.
Cricket characters feature in the Walt Disney animated movies Pinocchio (1940), where Jiminy Cricket becomes the title character's conscience, and in Mulan (1998), where Cri-kee is carried in a cage as a symbol of luck, in the Asian manner. The Crickets was the name of Buddy Holly's rock and roll band; Holly's home town baseball team in the 1990s was called the Lubbock Crickets. Cricket is the name of a US children's literary magazine founded in 1973; it uses a cast of insect characters. The sound of crickets is often used in media to emphasize silence, often for comic effect after an awkward joke, in a similar manner to tumbleweed.
The wicket-keeper (sometimes called simply the "keeper") is a specialist fielder subject to various rules within the Laws about his equipment and demeanour. He is the only member of the fielding side who can effect a stumping and is the only one permitted to wear gloves and external leg guards. Depending on their primary skills, the other ten players in the team tend to be classified as specialist batsmen or specialist bowlers. Generally, a team will include five or six specialist batsmen and four or five specialist bowlers, plus the wicket-keeper.

JERSEY CITY, New Jersey (WJW) — A wayward drive into a guy’s shirt?
Yep. It happened during the second round of The Northern Trust Friday, and the unbelievable shot made by 2021 Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama was captured on video.
Matsuyama hit the drive at the par-4 10th, Golf Digest reports.
After watching for the ball to drop, commentators were in disbelief when they realized what happened, saying: “What in the world? What are the odds? I mean, how?”
A spectator is heard in the video explaining exactly that.
“Went between my legs, hit my knee and somehow rolled into my shirt,” he said.
Matsuyama eventually made his way over, pointing to the man, saying: “You?” He marked the spot, and the man let the ball fall to the ground.
Matsuyama then signed the ball for the man before moving on to make bogey.
The PGA shared video of something similar that happened to Rory McIlroy seven years ago at the Tour Championship.

On Wednesday 23 February 2022, I had the privilege of representing QACI at the Brisbane City Council Lord Mayor's Youth Advisory Council (LMYAC). The LMYAC includes Year 10 students nominated by Brisbane High Schools to represent their school and community, be the voice for raising issues that affect young people and share ideas that can help our youth, and improve the quality of life Brisbane.
I chose to apply for the role of representing QACI at the LMYAC as I believe the role will provide me with a range of developmental opportunities and contribute towards making Brisbane a better place to grow, work and live. I will be able to represent the youth and the QACI community, interact with Brisbane councillors and youth representatives to help address and learn about these issues.
I have few key ideas regarding initiatives for young people in Brisbane that I would like to share and advocate at the LMYAC. Partnering with Mental Health Foundation Australia (MHFA), I would like to start an initiative for youth mental health and raise awareness about how mental health issues affect young people. I would also like to encourage youth participation and engagement across a variety of events and festivals, especially in the upcoming 2032 Brisbane Olympics to help them engage with the wider community, voice their opinion and shape the future of Brisbane. Spearheading these initiatives at the LMYAC will allow Brisbane youths to make meaningful contributions in decision making and implement significant changes for a better Brisbane.
The meeting was a great opportunity to meet like-minded students from other Brisbane high schools as well as providing the opportunity to meet Councillors, including the Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner, to engage in wide variety of activities to start our journey in the LMYAC. We learnt about the roles of the different levels of Government and what the Brisbane City Council can do to address issues in Brisbane. We discussed ideas regarding the improvements of Brisbane City Council policies and programs. We also discussed pressing issues such as mental health and homelessness in Brisbane and initiatives that could be started to help solve these problems.
I look forward to working throughout the year with the Lord Mayor, other councillors, including Cr Steven Huang (Councillor for Macgregor), my fellow LMYAC representatives and my QACI community in making Brisbane a better city.

Huskies are able to tolerate cold weather conditions due to their double coat. Their outer coat is the dense undercoat which protects them against harsh weather conditions. On top of their undercoat is the soft, flowing overcoat which provides insulation for their bodies against the cold weather. Huskies are warm-weather dogs so they are not able to survive in extreme summer or winter conditions. The ideal temperatures for huskies are between -40 degree F and 100 degree F. Since huskies are dogs which do not have dense fur, their fur can easily protect them from both high and low temperatures..
What Temperature Can Huskies Tolerate? – Related Questions
What temperature is too cold for Huskies?
Huskies, just like other dogs, cannot work or play when they are too cold. The temperature has to be at least 40 degrees F for your dog to be comfortable. A dog’s body temperature is 10-12 degrees higher than humans ,and this is why they are able to survive in the winter by metabolizing fats and processing the extra energy. Although they are an active breed, they still shed their hair and need more than just food and water to survive. An ideal temperature for your pet is between 20-28 degrees for an active dog and up to 36 degrees for larger breeds..
What’s the ideal temperature for a Husky?
Huskies are originally from cold climates, so they can easily handle cold conditions. In fact, they are really sensitive to heat. A rise of just 7 degrees Fahrenheit can increase their heart rate by 30 beats per minute. In terms of optimal environmental conditions, Huskies enjoy cool and dry climates, but can tolerate changes in temperature. The most important thing is to provide them with a constant supply of water during summer and winter. Huskies can’t sweat and can’t pant quickly like other dogs, which is why they need a higher supply of water to keep them cool whenever possible..
Can Husky sleep outside in winter?
“Huskies”, as a whole, can stand cold weather very well. However, those living in hot climates may struggle during the cold nights. For those living in warm climates, it is best for your “Husky” to sleep inside as much as possible. To give your dog the best chance of surviving your summer heat, you should always leave water out for him and make sure he is getting enough exercise. So, the answer to this question is – “Huskies” can indeed sleep outside in winter and this is true for all the cold weather. However, they can also sleep inside too and this is usually what you will see them doing..
Is 43 degrees too cold for a Husky?
If you have a Husky, then you have a dog that loves the cold. There is no such thing as too cold for a Husky. In fact, a Husky will stop at nothing to get outside when there is a snowstorm! While the cold temperatures are good for huskies, do not let it get too cold. Because huskies have a thick fur coat, they can get cold easily. If it is too cold, a husky will shiver, shake, and get a runny nose. The temperature should be a steady 33 degrees or no lower than -10 degrees Fahrenheit to keep your husky healthy. We do not recommend letting a husky go outside in the bitter cold. There is a chance it will get too cold for a husky. In this case, make sure it has a warm place to get in and out of the snow..
How Huskies survive in the cold?
Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes are very good at enduring the cold. Although their coat doesn’t protect them completely from the cold, they have a few tricks to survive in the northern parts of the world..
Do Huskies need air con?
Air conditioning is just one of the many features that your car comes with. Some people think that they only need it when running through the sun for an extended period of time, but that is just not true. The truth is that modern air conditioning is far more than just a typical summer feature. Air conditioning has always come in handy on sunny days, but now, modern air conditioning can also help you enjoy your driving experience even on cold mornings..
Can I walk my dog in 90 degree weather?
Unfortunately, it is not necessary to walk your dog in hot weather. So I’m afraid I do not really see the point of this question. However, I always take my dog for a walk at 8 am or before sunset, which is the safest time to walk your dog..
Should I shave my husky in the summer?
Unless you want your pet to look like a ball of fur. You should not shave any dog in the summer, because if you shave it, the dog will get sunburned. This is true for all dog fur types, not just huskies. Huskies are not meant to be shaved, but you should trim their fur regularly to maintain the shape of the fur..
How do you cool down a Husky?
The short version: open your freezer and let the Husky go in. Don’t try and physically get the Husky into the freezer. Huskies, and all other dogs for that matter, will be more than happy to walk into a freezer and get cool..
Should Huskies live outside?
Huskies are very energetic dogs, they require a lot of space to play, therefore it is better to keep them in a house, giving them enough space. They love to climb and run, so you will need to fence them so they don’t run away. Huskies are very friendly with children. Some huskies can be aggressive with other dogs, so you should teach them how to socialize with other dogs while they are still puppy. There are better options than keeping huskies outside, because they are very sensitive to the weather..
Where do Huskies like to sleep?
Huskies like to sleep in a clean and dry place. Usually, they prefer to sleep in a dog house, but if there is no dog house, they will sleep in a big open space such as a garage, a living room or a basement. When it is hot, they like to sleep in a place with shade such as a garage or a basement. They also like to sleep in a place which can be closed up such as a dog house..
How cold is too cold for dogs?
Did you know that temperature affects your dog’s health?! If the temperature is below 50 degrees F, then that’s when you should take extra care of your dog. Dogs are much like humans in that cold weather causes their blood vessels to contract, meaning it’s harder for them to circulate blood throughout their bodies..
Is the garage too cold for my dog?
I think it’s a bit too cold for your dog to sleep in a garage. Is the garage too cold for my dog? Your dog requires a temperature of between 7 °C to 27 °C or 45 °F to 80 °F for normal body temperature and normal energy level. Your dog needs a higher temperature in order to sleep and to burn energy in his sleep. He needs a lower temperature when he is awake and inactive. So keeping in view this fact, keeping your dog in a garage is not a good idea. If you really want to keep your dog in a garage you should make sure that it is heated and draft free, and provide your dog with a sleeping sanctuary in the form of a dog sleeping crate or dog bed..
What temp is too cold for dogs to sleep outside?
I’ve been in Florida for 2 years now, and have seen dogs outside in winters. I have seen people letting their dogs do their business when I see them in the winter. I have a question about a dog a neighbor has. They have a dog in a small kennel in the backyard. We live in a warm climate in the US. Is it ok for a dog to sleep in a small kennel in the winter? The temperature in the winter where I live is close to freezing. Above zero, the dog is allowed in the house, but when it is below zero, the dog is in the kennel. I’ve been reading up on it and it is not good for the dog to be in a kennel or a cold garage in the cold weather. I’m a little worried about the dog. Can a dog get frost bite in a kennel? The dog is a 7 year old boxer..
Do dogs get cold at night?
Dogs are adapted to tolerate colder weather than humans are. So they can tolerate cold weather than humans can. However, just like humans, dogs get colder at night. So this is the time they need extra warmth. If you are worried that your dog might get cold at night, then you can consider getting a dog house for them to go inside. Dog houses are designed to keep dogs warm even in freezing temperatures. They are insulated with thick foam padding, and most models are heated too. These heated doghouses are very safe, as most models are equipped with protection from heating wires..

Kylie Minogue’s stunning blast from the past in new tourism advert
Kylie Minogue is the undisputed star of a new $15 million effort to lure tourists to Australia. And she has put on an absolute spectacle.
Kylie Minogue has revived her beloved Neighbours character Charlene Robinson as part of a new $15 million tourism campaign to lure Brexit-weary British tourists to Australia.
Millions of Brits were tucking into their turkey ahead of the Queen’s Christmas Day message when the three-minute Tourism Australia advertisement – featuring surf, sand and speedos – hit the screens yesterday.
They were invited to take a break from “what ails ya” and “call on your friends in Australia” in the musical video, which also starred comedian Adam Hills and included cameos from Shane Warne, Ashleigh Barty and Ian Thorpe.
Wearing her trademark overalls and baggy sweatshirts, Minogue dons an ’80s perm to recreate the iconic Neighbours character Charlene Robinson.
The Aussie soap opera was incredibly popular in the UK during the 1990s and was given a prime-time spot on BBC1.
The rest of the commercial features backyard cricket, the beach, beer, the outback, sausages in bread, a cheeky touch of nudism, and the rhyming of the words “shocker” with “quokka”.
It ends with Minogue in the Northern Territory telling Brits “See ya soon then, yeah?”
Minogue said she has felt like an unofficial ambassador promoting Australia in the UK since the days of Neighbours in the 1980s.
“I’ve been doing it anyway, I think now I’ve just got the badge,” Minogue told News Corp. “It feels like the right fit. I think some Brits still think I live in Australia. I feel like a part of me will always live in Australia, but I think it’s come at the right time. I am a very proud Australian.”
Tourism Australia managing director Phillipa Harrison said millions tune in to watch the Queen’s annual Christmas speech on television.
“We also know that January in the northern hemisphere winter is a time when many Brits are thinking about an overseas holiday, providing the perfect opportunity to engage with a captive audience and remind them why they should make that next trip Australia,” she said in a statement.
The UK is the fourth largest source of tourists to Australia, with more than 700,000 British visitors arriving in the past 12 months.
After making the long flight over, they stayed an average of 32 nights in Australia and spent almost $5000 here, according to Tourism Australia figures.
Roughly a quarter of them are regarded as “high-value” travellers, spending two to three times more than the average tourist.
Tourism Minister Simon Birmingham said Britain had been going through a period of uncertainty, which had led to a decline in tourist numbers to Australia.
“It is crucial that we continue to drive growth from this market, both first-timer travellers but also repeat visitors whose familiarity means that they are more likely to want to travel further and deeper into our regions,” he told the Sydney Morning Herald.
Ms Harrison spoke to Channel 9’s Today program this morning to spruik the ad.
“Why Kylie?” she was asked.
“Because she’s a national treasure. She’s equally loved in Australia and the UK,” Ms Harrison replied.
“She’s been loved in the UK since the late 80s when she was discovered as Charlene on Neighbours, which we make a reference to in the video. She’s still incredibly contemporary in the UK.
“She embodies what we’re trying to say about Australia - we’re warm and welcoming.”
Tourism Australia will hope this campaign gets a better reception than the last one, which starred Chris Hemsworth, Paul Hogan, and Minogue (in a smaller role).
The tagline featured a play on words that left many viewers stumped.

Ms Harrison brushed off the criticism at the time.
“People think, ‘I’m going to get to Australia one day’. And our job is really to work out how to make that day today,” she said.
Judging by the reaction on social media, the new campaign featuring Minogue might just do the trick.

For the first time in one collected volume, mainstream and critical human rights scholars together examine the empirical and normative debates around the future of human rights. They ask what makes human rights effective, what strategies will enhance the chances of compliance, what blocks progress, and whether the hope for human rights is entirely misplaced in a rapidly transforming world. Human Rights Futures sees the world as at a crucial juncture. The project for globalizing rights will either continue to be embedded or will fall backward into a maelstrom of nationalist backlash, religious resurgence and faltering Western power. Each chapter talks directly to the others in an interactive dialogue, providing a theoretical and methodological framework for a clear research agenda for the next decade. Scholars, graduate students and practitioners of political science, history, sociology, law and development will find much to both challenge and provoke them in this innovative book.

Über den Autor und weitere Mitwirkende
After a lifetime of yo-yo dieting and food as the enemy, Melissa found the paleo diet in 2009 and has been happily following it ever since. That year, she also underwent a thyroidectomy. In the aftermath of the surgery and recovery, she became particularly interested in how diet affects hormones, body composition, mood, and motivation. These days, Melissa's workouts are just as likely to include yoga and meditation as lifting heavy things and sprinting to stay ahead of the stopwatch.
Her first cookbook Well Fed appeared on the Wall Street Journal best sellers list, and Well Fed 2 was named one of the best books of 2013 by Amazon.com and was a Washington Post best seller. Melissa is the author of the recipes in the New York Times bestselling book It Starts With Food by Melissa and Dallas Hartwig. She writes a column for Paleo Magazine and her recipes have been featured in print in Low Sugar Living, Inspire Health, and Where Women Cook, and online at Buzzfeed.com, FoodNetwork.com, Nylon.com, PopSugar.com, and Men's Journal.

Title: What's the universe made of? A strong gravitational lensing perspective
Abstract: The standard LCDM model gives a successful description of many astrophysical observations. However, many fundamental questions remained unanswered. I will focus on two of them and show how strong gravitational lensing can help us answer them in a powerful way, independent of all other probes. The first question is whether there is a need for additional physical ingredients beyond LCDM, e.g. early dark energy, as implied by the Hubble-tension. The second question is concerned with the nature of dark matter itself: is it a standard massive WIMP-like particle or something more exotic? For the first topic, I will provide an update of our 20-year long effort to measure the expansion history of the universe and thus the Hubble constant using gravitational time delays, highlighting recent results based on lensed quasars from the TDCOSMO collaboration (the union of H0licow/STRIDES/SHARP collaborations), and from multiply imaged supernova Refsdal. For the second I will describe recent work based on flux ratio anomalies of quadruply imaged quasars, and the constraints on dark matter free streaming length, mass-concentration relation, and other properties. I will conclude my talk by discussing the prospects for achieving 1-2% precision and accuracy on H0 and test a wide variety of dark matter models using JWST and other upcoming facilities.

Bonnington House is a 19th-century country house near Wilkieston. The house was built in 1622, and was the home of the Foulis Baronets of Colinton. Sir James Foulis, 2nd Baronet, served as Lord Justice Clerk from 1684 to 1688, taking the title Lord Colinton. Bonnington later passed to the Wilkies of Ormiston.
The house passed from the Scott family to Hugh Cunningham, Lord Provost of Edinburgh around 1702. It is said to have been doubled in size c.1720. In 1720 the house was owned by Hugh's son, Alexander Cunningham.
In 1858 the house was completely remodelled in a Jacobean style. The house and its 100-acre (40 ha) estate was bought by the present owners in 1999, and in 2001 the house was refurbished by Lee Boyd Architects. Two new wings were designed by Benjamin Tindall Architects, granted planning consent in 2010 and completed in 2015. The grounds of the house have been developed as a sculpture park, now open to the public as Jupiter Artland.References:
The eight towns in south-eastern Sicily, including Ragusa, were all rebuilt after 1693 on or beside towns existing at the time of the earthquake which took place in that year. They represent a considerable collective undertaking, successfully carried out at a high level of architectural and artistic achievement. Keeping within the late Baroque style of the day, they also depict distinctive innovations in town planning and urban building. Together with seven other cities in the Val di Noto, it is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In 1693 Ragusa was devastated by a huge earthquake, which killed some 5,000 inhabitants. Following this catastrophe the city was largely rebuilt, and many Baroque buildings from this time remain in the city. Most of the population moved to a new settlement in the former district of Patro, calling this new municipality 'Ragusa Superiore' (Upper Ragusa) and the ancient city 'Ragusa Inferiore' (Lower Ragusa). The two cities remained separated until 1926, when they were fused together to become a provincial capital in 1927.

Ensuring application performance is becoming challenging at a time when enterprises increasingly are adopting cloud computing and hybrid IT infrastructures, according to a recent survey by Riverbed Technology.
The survey results, released Dec. 7, found that 98 percent of the 900 business executives who responded said that optimal enterprise application performance is important to their companies being successful. However, 89 percent said that poor performance by enterprise applications has hurt their work, and 58 percent said it negatively impacts their work on a weekly basis.
Furthermore, there appears to be a disconnect between the business executives and IT teams. Seventy-one percent of the business executives surveyed said they often feel they have no idea why their applications are running slowly, and outside of the Americas region, it’s even worse. In Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), 76 percent of executives have been unsure why there were problems, while that number hit 75 percent in Asia.
The key for such enterprises is ensuring that IT and executives have a clear line of sight into how all of their applications are performing, especially at a time when the workforce is becoming increasingly mobile and applications can be running in the cloud or inside the corporate firewalls, according to Riverbed Chairman and CEO Jerry Kennelly.
“The results of the survey reflect what we’re hearing every day from IT leaders who are looking to deliver superior application performance in the midst of rapidly evolving, highly complex and hybrid IT environments,” Kennelly said in a statement. “With apps, data and end users everywhere today, companies need end-to-end application visibility, optimization, and control everywhere as well to close the performance gap.”
Riverbed over the years has expanded from its origins as a WAN optimization technology vendor to one focusing on application performance infrastructure. In recent months, the company, known for its SteelHead WAN optimization and SteelCentral application visibility products, has broadened its efforts to include software-defined WANs (SD-WANs).
The survey, conducted by Wakefield Research for Riverbed, included 900 executives at companies that have $500 million or more in revenue. What the survey found was that trends like cloud computing, mobility and hybrid IT infrastructures offer significant benefits to customers and employees alike, but they add complexity and challenges when trying to ensure applications perform at their best.
Executives are further frustrated when they don’t know why the apps are slow, and at times their workarounds can make things worse, according to the survey.
The top benefits to optimal application performance include time and cost savings, improved employee productivity and customer satisfaction, and faster delivery of products to the market. The impacts of poor performance include contract delays, missed deadlines, lost customers and damaged employee morale.
It’s so important that 33 percent of executives said they would give up a full lunch break to have better performing apps. Other sacrifices would include their program budget, caffeine and chocolate. However, these same executives also can increase the problem of poor app performance in a number of ways. Thirty-seven percent of executives said they have used unsupported apps when their corporate software is performing poorly, adding to the persistent problem of “shadow IT.” Other reactions include complaining to colleagues, taking an extended lunch break, using the slow apps as an excuse for missing a deadline and leaving work early.
The cloud brings its share of good news and bad news to the equation, according to Riverbed officials. Ninety-six percent of respondents said they use cloud-based enterprise applications in their work, and 84 percent say they expect their company’s use of cloud-based apps will grow over the next two years. The benefits range from increased flexibility and productivity to cost savings, improved agility and better collaboration.
However, the hybrid IT infrastructures needed for the use of both cloud and on-premises applications increase complexity and make it difficult to get the visibility into the applications that is needed, Riverbed officials found. Eighty-three percent of executives said troubleshooting app performance is more difficult in hybrid environments.

If anyone still held out any hope that our current government could lead this country in the right direction, that has been well and truly smashed.
Scott Morrison seems to think that giving all of his MPs a flag badge will somehow make them all focus on us (strategically pointing at camera as I say that).
He thinks that mentioning his football team every time he is interviewed will make us all relax and forget what has gone on.
He says that bullying would not have occurred under his leadership. Well, gee, here I was thinking that he held a leadership role as Treasurer, but obviously he wasn’t strong enough, or didn’t care enough, to stop the intimidation.
Helen Kroger, former Liberal senator and the current chair of the party’s women’s committee (and former wife of Liberal power broker Michael Kroger), said she does “not believe there is a culture of bullying and intimidation in the Liberal party.”
Oh, ok then. But did it ever occur to Ms Kroger that bullies pick on people who don’t have her connections? People who may not enjoy the security she obviously feels?
Outgoing workplace relations minister Craig Laundy has spoken about the tactics used by the bullies that Ms Kroger doesn’t think exist.
“Being a third generation western Sydney publican, you come at me and I’ll come back,” Mr Laundy told news.com.au as he revealed he had personally heard complaints by female colleagues and believes some were made to the Prime Minister’s office.
“There were complaints made to the PMO and I’ve had complaints made to me.”
Mr Laundy also gave the shock jocks a serve they rightly deserved.
“I’ve had Jones, Hadley, Bolt, Peta Credlin … insert name of right-wing commentator here … give me free character assessments basically for the past five years,” he said.
“And the last election campaign I think is the best example of what influence they actually have, if you are a shrewd marginal seat operator. It was an eight-week campaign where particularly Alan Jones would offer free character assessments that weren’t too complimentary on a daily basis. And when the state of NSW had a 5.1 per cent swing against (the Liberals) I had a 1.6 per cent to me.”
He said the broadcasters encouraged voters to contact him, with Mr Hadley publishing his official email address.
“I couldn’t thank him enough for that because what it does is it takes those fired-up people — a lot of times based on misinformation and that commentator’s personal opinion and a real personal dislike of me or Malcolm Turnbull — it makes that listener come to me,” Mr Laundy said. “I’ll ring them. I’ve done it thousands of times. And I read my own emails and reply, usually pretty quickly. And it shocks the living crap out of them,” he said.
I can personally confirm this. I emailed Mr Laundy asking him to back up claims he had made about convictions arising from the trade union royal commission. He responded with the details I had requested. And he was right – it shocked the living crap out of me to get a factual response, no obfuscation, from a Coalition MP.
There have been several Liberal party members suggesting that politics is no place for “snowflakes”, intimating that if you can’t cop intimidation then you aren’t up to the game.
Sadly, these people seem to think that being able to endure bullying is more important than being able to formulate, understand, and advocate for sensible policy direction. (Looking at you Craig Kelly for starters)
Political pundits will tell you that it has ever been thus.
Does that mean we should allow it to continue?
In recent times, much has been written about the lack of leadership in Australia. But that is like asking the coxswain to win the race on their own.
Until the crew starts pulling together, we will never get anywhere.

Benefits of Hydroponic Gardening for Tomatoes
Hydroponic gardening offers numerous benefits for cultivating healthy and productive tomato plants. One of the main advantages is the ability to control and optimize the growing environment. Unlike traditional soil-based gardening, hydroponics allows for precise management of water, nutrients, and light, ensuring that the tomatoes receive the optimal conditions for growth. This control over environmental factors results in faster growth, higher yields, and better overall quality of the tomatoes.
Additionally, hydroponic gardening eliminates the risk of soil-borne diseases and pests that can plague traditional tomato cultivation. Since hydroponic systems do not rely on soil, there is no chance of soil-borne pathogens or pests infecting the plants. This drastically reduces the need for pesticides and fungicides, making hydroponic tomatoes healthier and safer for consumption. Furthermore, the absence of soil also means less weeding and less physical labor required, making hydroponic gardening a more convenient and efficient method for growing tomatoes.
Necessary Equipment for Growing Tomatoes Hydroponically
When it comes to growing tomatoes hydroponically, having the right equipment is essential for success. One of the most important pieces of equipment is a hydroponic system, which provides the necessary support and environment for the plants to grow and thrive. There are several types of hydroponic systems available, such as nutrient film technique (NFT), deep water culture (DWC), and drip irrigation. Each system has its advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to choose one that best fits your needs and gardening space.
In addition to a hydroponic system, other necessary equipment includes grow lights, timers, and pH meters. Grow lights are used to provide the plants with artificial light, simulating sunlight for proper photosynthesis. Timers are essential for controlling the lighting and watering schedules, ensuring that the plants receive the right amount of light and nutrients at the appropriate times. pH meters are crucial for monitoring the acidity or alkalinity of the nutrient solution, as tomatoes thrive in a slightly acidic pH range of 5.5 to 6.5. By regularly testing and adjusting the pH levels, you can ensure that your tomato plants are getting the nutrients they need to grow healthy and produce high yields.
Choosing the Right Tomato Varieties for Hydroponic Gardening
When it comes to hydroponic gardening, choosing the right tomato varieties is crucial for a successful harvest. While there are numerous tomato varieties available, not all of them are optimal for hydroponic systems. In order to maximize your yields and ensure the best quality tomatoes, it is important to select varieties that are well-suited for this growing method.
One of the key factors to consider when choosing tomato varieties for hydroponic gardening is their growth habit. Indeterminate varieties, which continue to grow and produce fruit throughout the season, are often preferred for hydroponic systems. These varieties can be trained to grow vertically, making efficient use of the available space in your hydroponic setup. Determinate varieties, on the other hand, have a more compact growth habit and tend to produce their fruit all at once. While determinate tomatoes can still be grown hydroponically, they may require additional support or pruning to ensure proper growth and development.
Creating the Ideal Growing Environment for Hydroponic Tomatoes
Creating the ideal growing environment is crucial for the success of hydroponic tomato plants. One important factor to consider is the temperature. Tomatoes thrive best in a temperature range of 70-85°F (21-29°C). It is essential to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the day and night to avoid any stress on the plants. This can be achieved by using proper insulation, ventilation systems, and temperature control devices.
In addition to temperature, lighting plays a vital role in hydroponic tomato cultivation. Tomatoes require at least 10-12 hours of direct light each day to promote healthy growth and fruit development. It is recommended to use high-intensity discharge (HID) lights, such as metal halide or high-pressure sodium lamps, as they provide the necessary intensity and spectrum for optimal plant growth. Adequate spacing and height adjustment of the lights are also crucial to ensure uniform light distribution and prevent any shading issues.
By creating the ideal growing environment with proper temperature control and adequate lighting, hydroponic tomato growers can provide their plants with the ideal conditions for healthy growth and higher yields. However, it is also important to pay attention to other factors such as humidity, air circulation, and carbon dioxide levels to further maximize the potential of hydroponic tomato production.
The Importance of Proper Nutrient Solution for Hydroponic Tomato Plants
Hydroponic gardening offers a precise and controlled method of growing tomatoes, and one of the key factors in ensuring successful growth is providing the plants with the proper nutrient solution. Unlike traditional soil-based gardening, where nutrients are naturally present in the soil, hydroponic systems require an artificial nutrient solution to supply the plants with the necessary elements for healthy growth.
The nutrient solution used in hydroponic tomato cultivation must contain a balanced combination of essential macronutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as micronutrients like iron, manganese, and zinc. These nutrients are crucial for various plant functions, including photosynthesis, root development, and fruit production. A well-formulated nutrient solution ensures that the tomato plants receive all the necessary elements in the right proportions, leading to vigorous growth, increased fruit yields, and enhanced flavor.

Former USWNT captain Abby Wambach has been arrested for allegedly driving under the influence in Portland, Oregon.
The World Cup and Olympic champion was pulled over by Portland Police after failing to stop at a red light on Saturday evening.
The 35-year-old, who retired last year, was accused of ‘showing signs that she was under the influence of alcohol’ during sobriety tests and even failed a breathalyzer test.
Portland Police tweeted this photo on Sunday morning of an emotional Wambach before she was released after processing.
Wambach publically apologised via her Facebook page claiming it was a horrible mistake:
“Last night I was arrested for DUII in Portland after dinner at a friend’s house.
“Those that know me, know that I have always demanded excellence from myself. I have let myself and others down.
“I take full responsibility for my actions. This is all on me. I promise that I will do whatever it takes to ensure that my horrible mistake is never repeated.
“I am so sorry to my family, friends, fans and those that look to follow a better example.”
We are sure this will be just a minor blemish on Wambach’s incredible lasting legacy.
