Collier’s music is full of moments that elicit reactions similar to this, significantly from musicians. He has recorded dozens of dazzling movies on YouTube : staggeringly advanced variations of jazz and during which he multi-tracks himself singing multiple vocal harmonies and playing multiple devices. Since posting the primary movie when he was 17, they’ve been viewed millions of times, earning him a call from an impressed Jones (who ended up signing him to his administration company, Qwest), along with rapturous praise from artists as diverse as Chick Corea, Pat Metheny, kd lang, David Crosby , Raphael Saadiq and Leslie Bricusse.
In pop music, each three and 4 chord progressions are generally used. In 4 chord progressions, its typical that you just start and finish on the identical chord, and the chords in-between are ‘travelling’ chords. Along with hip hop groups, many solo artists have established names for themselves. Rapper Sido is thought for his aggressive” model of music, whereas Samy Deluxe derives inspiration from American-type rap. Extra not too long ago, emo rapper” Casper and Raop” performer Cro have made hip hop music that appeals to a youthful technology of German music followers.
These musical connections jogged my memory of the historic connections examined in the BBC sequence Connections , hosted by science historian James Burke. In that sequence, Burke confirmed how completely different individuals somewhere else solving totally different issues made completely different improvements that each one came together to provide us the know-how we use every single day. For example, the loom produced linen which made paper so cheap it spurred the event of printing of books that gave data to these curious about automated organs whose pegged cylinders gave French silk weavers the chance to run their looms with perforated playing cards that Herman Hollerith used to depend people for a census more rapidly than earlier than, which impressed the design of the earliest computers.
British pop music is fashionable music, produced commercially within the United Kingdom It emerged in the mid-to late Fifties as a softer alternative to rock ‘n’ roll and later to rock music. ^ Collins, pg. eleven As well as, Collins notes that early pseudo-country musicians like Vernon Dalhart who had made their identify recording ‘country music songs’ were not from the hills and hollows or plains and valleys. These recording stars sang each rural music and metropolis music, and most knew extra about Broadway than they did about hillbillies. Their rural image was often manufactured for the second and the dollar. In distinction, Collins later explains, both the Carter Household and Rodgers had rural folk credibility that helped make Peer’s recording session such an influential success; it was the Carter Household that was Ralk Peer’s tie to the hills and hollows, to lost loves and found faith, but it surely took Jimmie Rodgers to attach the publisher with a few of country music’s other beloved symbols—trains and saloons, jail and the blues.
As you broaden your child’s library, think about adding classical music—particularly if the piece tells a narrative or teaches them about instrumentation. You can strive Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saens or Peter and the Wolf by Sergei Prokofiev, each of which use instruments to symbolize totally different animals and characters. The children can learn about particular devices while learning a story. A programmed classical piece is going to help kids really feel snug with classical music and get the story on the similar time,” Durbin says.
“The Relaxation Is Noise” explores all these various boxes and -isms in an evenhanded and approachable method, with the absence of dogmatism that’s the mark of a true fanatic. The conventional image of so-referred to as trendy music, wherein numerous figures of admitted stature progressively drop off the prepare of progress as it proceeds on its not significantly merry way, is quietly abandoned in favor of one thing closer to what occurs in an actual station – a continuing, unpredictable back and forth of individuals and incident, unexpected conferences, conversation and argument, pushing and shoving: a type of perpetual postmodernism (another word that, significantly, Ross does not use).
Record of well-known pop singers with their biographies that embody trivia, interesting facts, timeline and life historical past. Meanwhile you check out country music’s leading artists, and what do you see? You see picture-pushed, shallow males with even shallower songs, squeezed into ultra-tight jeans which have change into the spandex tights of our time. Maybe backwards baseball caps have changed kinked hair, however the servitude to image has stayed the identical. Development-focused and prepared to do something for fame, not standing on rules or anxious concerning the legacies they’re forging, widespread nation music has develop into the new bastion for the shallow performer and the sellout; the pop of our time, camouflaged in denim.

Sometimes a song just jumps out at me. That’s what happened yesterday as I was driving home from work, listening to a burn disc of my latest playlist. It was a mix, so I knew all the songs were good, but DAMN this is a perfect song. I didn’t realize its greatness until the car stereo was properly cranked. The great intro, verse, chorus, production, back-up vocals and air-guitar-worthy riffs all combine to give it a special kind of momentum rarely heard. It’s my favorite song as of the last 24 hours and it’s called I Can’t Pretend by The Barracudas. I shouldn’t have to say it, but play this record loud!

LA Architects Making the World Better is our irregularly scheduled look at projects around the globe designed by LA-based architects. Monday, we saw the High Line 23 project from Neil M. Denari Architects. Today, Frank Gehry's jumble of sticks.
Frank Gehry has done it again. Taking what you and I might mistake for the discarded pieces of another construction project, the LA-based architect will erect a jaw-dropping timber and glass "street" set to grace the London Serpentine Gallery. Via Design Week: "...the pavilion is designed to be part amphitheater, part promenade, making a place for 'reflection and relaxation by day, and discussion and performance by night'" The Serpentine Gallery Pavilion series, now in its ninth year, invites world renowned architects to create temporary structures on the lawn of the gallery. We think the structure might actually fall apart before they have a chance to disassemble it.

Bigg Boss contestant's actress girlfriend accuses him of harassment
Bigg Boss Tamil season 3 has been in the news for one reason or the other.
Bigg Boss Tamil season 3 has been in the news for one reason or the other. The latest is about one of its contestants—Tharshan Thiyagarajan. He's one of the prominent faces on the show. His girlfriend Sanam Shetty is making the headlines now. There was speculation that she was in a relationship with him.
The model-cum-actress has accused Tharshan of harassing her physically and mentally.
Speaking to an English daily, Sanam Shetty says that he was okay with her when they got engaged but his behaviour changed post exit from the popular and controversial Tamil TV reality show, Bigg Boss 3.
She goes on to say that even though they had planned to get married in June now he's gone silent on the relationship. She says that Tharshan had asked her not to talk about their relationship during his stint on the show which she obediently agreed to. She said after he walked out of the show, he started harassing her and his family too.
With no news coming from his side, Sanam has resorted to the last option. He has approached the commissioner of police and filed a complaint against him. She has even registered a complaint with the women's commission.
She also says that it was she who helped him build contacts in the industry even after he accused her of having affairs with co-stars. She said she sent the application to Bigg Boss Tamil and also helped him with visa procedures. While Tharshan's manager has rubbished these claims as false, It now remains to be seen how Tharshan will react to this news.

Voters in Fiji headed to the polls on Wednesday for the first time in eight years, following a decision by the South Pacific island nation’s military junta that the time was right for a transition back to democratic rule. Fiji, a tropical idyll about 3,200 km (2,000 miles) east of Australia, has suffered four coups since 1987, the latest in 2006 led by former army chief Voreqe “Frank” Bainimarama, whose Fiji First Party had a strong lead heading into the general election. Voters thronged to the polls, appearing ecstatic about once again choosing their leaders despite the spectre of security threats raised by the military and criticism of Bainimarama for using state media to drown out other parties. “I have waited for eight years to be part of this historic day. Everyone voting as … members of this place we call home,” Ramesh Chand told Reuters after casting his vote for Fiji First.
Bainimarama seized on a long-simmering rivalry between indigenous Fijian nationalists and minority ethnic Indians, the economically powerful descendants of labourers brought by the British to work sugarcane fields, to justify his coup in 2006.
In 2000, ethnic Fijians held the first Indo-Fijian prime minister hostage in Parliament for 56 days, in a coup that began with deadly riots in the streets of the capital, Suva.
Bainimarama quickly abolished traditional, rival power bases such as the ethnic Fijian Great Council of Chiefs and old electoral boundaries that roughly grouped people according to their ethnicity, to the advantage of majority ethnic Fijians. He also pushed steadily for equal rights, culminating in a 2013 constitution, helping him to consolidate his popularity among Indo-Fijians.

THE DYNAMOMETER: DEFINITIONS
FORCE TRANSDUCERS LOAD CELLS
The term dynamometer refers to an instrument used to measure a force. It can also refer to a testing machine capable of applying forces with a given accuracy. Only the first of these meanings is referred to in this text.
A dynamometer is composed of a transducer or load cell comprising a steel proof body which receives the force to be measured and deforms elastically by the application of this force. In modern transducers, such deformation (strain) is communicated to a miniature electric circuit attached to the proof body, resulting in the modification of the electrical resistance. This resistance variation is measured by the Wheatstone bridge method, whereby two legs of the electric circuit are supplied with an analogue voltage, continuous or intermittent. An analogue variable voltage depending on the force applied to the dynamometer is collected between the two other legs in the circuit.
‘Force magnitude’ is, from the mechanical theory point of view, a vector input which must be taken into account by the precision measures, as well as other mechanical laws, such as action and reaction principles, action at a distance, etc. This approach leads to the adoption of a certain number of precautions, both in the design and use of a dynamometer.

I join the party later than expected and Baxter is nowhere to be found. The music has dropped by leaps and bounds in volume and many people have moved off to the side to talk. Their eyes seem heavier and the crowd seems thinner. I did expect the party to slowly fade off eventually but so early on in the middle of summer?
I go out into the cool air where moonlight pierces morning-glory walls. A cool breeze drifts through the warm air bringing with it a slight chill. The yellowish-green twinkle of fireflies still flickers throughout the fields yet to return to the woods. Even with the stars and moons now consuming an even greater portion of the sky, the only good thing living so far from others, it is still relatively early. Inside the crowd is pretty thin but beyond the walls of vines absolutely no one is around; its barren.
Glancing through the dim light I can make out a golden blaze in the far distance. Mom must have every light in the house on likely going through old photos or other pieces of the past. I`ve never really seen her cry; she`s never let me see her with the tears really running, but I know how she gets when I am out of the house. My stomach clenches at the thought of me sneaking in at two in the morning, snotty tissues dotting the living room and mom all curled up on the couch surrounded by photos and the box containing the last of dad`s belongings. When mom falls into the past she really falls in. One topic leads to another and soon her heart is torn apart once more. I think she loves everyone a little too much and holds on a little too long for her own good, but I guess that comes with such a big heart.
I debate heading back in when I hear a quiet sound in the night air. The light tings drift smoothly in a slow, sorrowful tune. I know the sound well, the bending tips of a metal comb after brushing along the bumps on a cylinder; it’s the sound of a music box. I follow the sound to the back of the house. Perhaps due to some gut feeling or the thin hopes that Baxter is the one with the music box I snag a yellow and pink carnation before winding around back. I hug close to the house where the grass isn`t so long and thorns don`t coil so tight.
Before I am even around the corner I can make out the willow tree, long, low sweeping branches brush the ground ever so softly. The twisted trunk and swaying, vine-like branches are silhouetted like a painting. The leaves are a silvery green and beckon me closer with their waving. I keep my steps light over the sharp, browning grass and rich topsoil. I break the small curtain of leaves. On any other night I would barely to make out shapes under the tree cover, but tonight the silver glow streams right through catching upon thick waves of dark hair spiraling like a waterfall down the female`s back.
“Hey.” I call to her in the softest voice I can muster.
Initially she pays no mind to me. It isn`t until the music fades away leaving us only with the rustling of leaves that she angles her head ever so slightly towards me. The thick mass of hair pours away from pale, sharp features. I take another step towards her, but in a single fluid motion she rolls against the trunk to the other side of the tree, disappearing from my sight. I see her once more as she breaks the barrier of leaves to depart from the willow as the chiming music begins its sweet melody once more.
More curious than annoyed by her lack of response I begin to pursue her. Soon we are no longer under the silver light but rather bounding through the dappling shade of the forest. The trees are wide and set far enough apart that I can keep easy sight of her. Her fluid motion is graceful as she slips past logs, branches, and brambles with ease. The music follows her only feeding my curiosity and enticing me further. I am not so graceful darting between the underbrush especially as we pick up speed and the foliage grows increasingly thick. I crash through low hanging branches and stumble past sticker bushes that tear at my skin and lock into my clothes. Vines snake around my ankles and shrubs seem to just appear before me right when I think I have a clear path. I end up hoping most of the way.
The further we get from the party the clearer my senses become. The air no longer smells of booze and a mingling of cheap perfumes and colognes. The scent of soil and decaying leaves dances around that of sweet flowers and damp trees. The wind is passing in hushed whispers that dance with the leaves above in louder rustling. I can also make out the cracks and thunks of my stumbling travels.
The babbling of water soon breaks in among the sounds and a new, sharp sent permeates the air. I skid to a stop inches from a deep ravine cutting deep through the forest. Tall grass sprouts along the sides. The soil is soft beneath my feet, a few chunks tumbling into the glittering stream bellow with a plop. The young woman stands on the other side of the bank free of scratches, leaves, branches, mud, or really any sign of our run through the woods. My chest is heaving yet here she is not even breathing heavy. I wipe away the sweat starting to trail down my forehead.
The shadows are heavy on either side from the massive trees stretching up towards the sky, but around the ravine is a glow with the silver light. It takes me a moment to realize that the only sounds are the rustling leaves and babbling of the brook. Isn`t this a great area for insects? Why isn`t the nocturnal life buzzing about where conditions are beyond preferable? Before I can look around the chiming of the music box begins once more.
My head snaps over to the young woman. Her skin is pale like the moonlight raining down upon her. Her hair falls unnaturally down her back not brushing her, but flowing freely around her in the opposite direction of the breeze. Her features are sharp and elegant and unrealistically perfect. Her eyes shimmer from a warm brown into a more purplish color as she stares intently at me. Garments of shadow cloak her body, a silk river running smoothly over her flesh the deep black contrasting her nearly white skin. Her full lips curl into a smile that is somehow both inviting and malicious.
In her arms the woman cradles glimmering glass smoothly curved into the top of a heart. Grandma`s snow globe.
“How did you get that?” My voice is colder than I mean it to be, a harsh demanding sound. “Give it back this instant. That snow globe belongs to my grandmother.”
The woman tilts her head ever so slightly, raising her chin to me. “So you are the relative of the thief.”
Her melodic voice nearly calls me across the ravine. The way she talks seems to make the entire forest bow closer to her, a radiance of power, gentleness, and beauty. She commands the air with the way she talks.
“The grandson of the thief is also a thief I see.” She coos to me. “What do thief`s know of hearts?”
A sharp gust of wind burst through the clearing making the scent sharply distinct and nauseating. Copper fills the air, but it is not the sole force in the perfume of death and blood now bathing the clearing. I hunch over and fight the urge to fall into a gagging fit even as my stomach shutters and my throat clenches.
“But at this age aren`t most of you twisted thief`s, all ungrateful.”
The wind picks up once more and a flurry of black and brown feathers dance down around me. They brush against my nose and tickle my skin on their slow descent. I lift my head enough to see the woman through the flurry though not as I recalled seeing her moments before. Rather than a goddess of inhuman beauty a monster stands before me.
The skin has drawn in tight on her face making her features ever sharper, unnatural angles stretching down into a long, hooked beak. The razor edges glisten in the moonlight. The waves of glistening dark hair smooth back into velvet feathers molting in place to reveal dry, grey skin. Massive wings wrap around an oddly angled body in place of silk garbs and black talons dig deep into the earth at the end or grey, speckled feet. The moon catches upon the sharp hooks which hold the small snow globe delicately.
I nearly slip into the ravine, stumbling back upon the damp earth. My hand brushes across a sun bleached bone that catches my eye. Deep gouges run across the white surface. Several more similar bones dot the grass and even more cover the ground around the stream in the ravine. The sharp shriek of a bird slices the air.
“Thief! Thief!” The sharp sound shrieks, tearing through my eardrums.
I pick myself up off the ground and turn tail to run. I dart through the trees foliage smacking my face and thorns tearing through my skin. I stumble over vines and logs, slamming into trees with enough force to gain some instant bruises. I don`t feel any of it as the screeching echoes out behind me.
“Thief! Thief!” The cries echo sorrow and rage and a plethora of emotions I cannot name.
I continue my mad dash blindly through the woods looking for patches of silver or flashes of light. I listen for the thrum of music and chatter but I can barely hear over the pounding of my heart and sharp intakes of breath. Something warm and soft catches my foot sending me tumbling to the ground. My heart racing and adrenaline pumping I barely feel the branches digging into my hands or the harsh ground as my head bounces off of it. I dare a glance back to see a limp body curled up in a deep stain.
The creature launches itself over the form in a flutter of massive, air stirring wings. Massive talons dig into soft, dead flesh as a massive tail fans out in a light consuming patch. I stare in horror at blonde curls streaked with red.
“Thieves know nothing, nothing!” Hiss the beast in another sharp screech.
I peel myself off the ground knowing there is no more I can do. My moment’s pause allowed the adrenaline to start to fade and the aches start to pulse through my body. I can feel the bumps and bruises speckling my skin as well as the thrumming ache of pressure in my head. My vision swims in the already dim light so I trust my gut and bolt as fast as I can from the creature. I break the tree line, moonlight bathing me in its protective glow. I do not stop and grandma`s old house. I know that the lights are off and music no longer fills the air with life. The place is abandoned by this point.
My house flickers like a candle in the distance with its warm yellow glow. I wrestle my way through brambles and tall grass towards the safety of home even as my chest heaves and my legs scream for a break. I glance over my shoulder at the blurry world to find nothing in the dim moonlight besides the ancient house.
I stop inches from home swathed in the yellow glow from the lights leaking from inside. I pant in desperation to regain my breath and focus my vision. Sweat runs like rivers across my skin soaking my shirt through and through. The summer night warmth feels more intense now making the gentle breeze brushing my skin feel even better. I straighten out my rumpled clothes and make my way into the safety of the house vowing to leave the night behind me and to avoid grandma`s house.
I try to stick to my vow. I hold no more parties and spend most of my days with mom. She is starting to smile a bit more again. I admit though that from time to time curiosity builds up enough to outweigh my fear and I dare to venture close to the morning-glory house. I never go inside or even get too close for that matter but sometimes, when the sun starts to sink and the world is bathed in the colors of honey and lilac I spot an elderly man rocking slowly on the porch. His skin is wrinkled and dappled with age spots. His eyes are a faded blue, hollow and distant and hair sticks out in white tufts about his head. His most notable feature is the set of wings, small and misshapen upon his back encased in a heart of glass. I stare at him most time and he stares right back at me in silence and I wonder if perhaps the creature residing in the house stole something itself.
Fall is starting to sink in and school has begun. I sit at my desk with the first stack of homework before me. Turns out no one else at school can remember Bax all that well. No one talks about her or mourns her absence yet when her name is brought up a shutter runs through them and for a moment, even if only very brief, sorrow registers in their eyes. Now I choose to leave the topic alone. The only reminder reserved for me is the sorrowful chiming sound of the snow globe echoing outside my room on clear nights and the single black feather caught between my window and its frame.


text: Dong Ho Village with its famous paintings has become an aesthetic symbol in Vietnam culture. Located to the left side of Duong River, Dong Ho stood for centuries making their unique art work. From over 100 families in the 1950s, currently there are only a handful of families still making the traditional craft. Most villagers have now turned to joss paper making, since the regulation has relaxed and again allowed for religious practices that were once deemed “unfit of the revolutionary”. The families of Nguyen Dang Che and Nguyen Huu Sam both run their own galleries and employ a number of workers. To everyone’s relief, the essence still remains and thrives.

Andair fuel valve question
Iíve noticed it difficult to feel the detent on my fuel valve when I change from the left to the right tank or vis versa. However, I also noticed that if itís not exactly positioned in the detent it still feeds fuel to the engine as long as itís close to the correct position between the left and right tank. Is this normal for Andair fuel valves?

Review: Collected Poems by Peter Finch, Volume Two
In the introduction to this second doorstop-sized selection of work, the poet Ian MacMillan suggests that ‘If and when the great poet and performer Peter Finch reads this intro he’ll stand up and sing it in a falsetto voice which will be all the more startling and liberating because he’ll be on a mid-afternoon bus in Cardiff. He’ll then sing it backwards and then he’ll just sing the vowels and then he’ll just sing the consonants. He’ll encourage his fellow passengers to join in and many of them will although some will get off before their usual stop.’
Macmillan goes on to imagine his fellow poet cutting up the pages of his own book and rearranging the strips to make a new sense which he dubs Finchsense. You get from this a real sense of the energy, gusto and restless sense of invention which are typical of Peter Finch, both as poet and performer, as editor and literary entrepreneur.
Indeed such is the energy of the man that Ian Macmillan suggests that there is more than one Peter Finch and that all these Peters are working to create many different kinds of poetry at the same time.
Those poems invariably have plenty of verbal crackle, snap and pop, exuding a sense of fun and adventure. But in this second volume there are more personal poems which map out some of the poet’s life. A poem called “Urology” evokes a visit to a hospital department and yet manages to keep the Finchian/Finchist/Finchesque humour very much alive as these sample stanzas demonstrate:
On the screen it’s like miniature DynoRod
hunting my house drains
water running so it slides
headlamp camera scouring plunger
At twenty meters they found a ring-seal loose
have to dig that out.
On the notes when I browse them
while the nurse is out
the sketch looks like a sea anemone
still life: bladder with flower
done in biro
sideways on the urine analysis
Red cells present: too
many to number.
Finch can find the stuff of poetry pretty much anywhere. He doesn’t need to scale mountains or wait for visitations by the divine. One poem concerns a cancelled trip with Winston Rees Travel. There’s a poem made up from “Words Beginning With A From The Government’s Welsh Assembly White Paper.” There’s a lot of stuff about Wales as you can see in quirky titles such as “Llywarch Hen SMS with Fault,” “Ysbwriel,” Rhai Caneuon Cymraeg” and “Mid Period Anglo Welsh Endings.” In “The Student House” he just calls round to his son’s abode and finds a poem among the disorder:
We arrive through thin snow to
my son’s student house where
no one has been for three weeks.
The ice has turned the air to knives.
I find a ketchup-smeared plate
frozen at 45 in the unemptied
kitchen sink. A river of lager
cans flows down the hall.
As I stamp into the lounge
keeping my feet alive the ghosts
of dust come up around me like
children. The stains across the
sofa look like someone has died.
Meanwhile a visit to a house in “Ty Draw” road in Roath in Cardiff, where the poet had previously lived, brings with it a different sort of disappointment:
Round the back where the past might
still congeal among the rust and residue
they’ve renewed almost everything.
I once painted my name on
the lane tarmac in front door green
but the rains have long washed it. In a life
how much do you have to do to outlive it?
They kept chickens next door and I
loved them but today no sound
A door opens and a face asks me
what I’m doing here where housebreakers
would walk. I say chasing the
past. I used to live here. Do you remember me?
He shakes his head.
But at the top of the hill there’s
smoke from the train, still rising,
as it trucks its coal to the dockland sea.
I can see it, smell it, hear its gouts of grey
and black. Smuts. Steam. On and back.
I’ve written it now.
And you’ve read it. So, something remains.
In a smashing poem which follows the poet’s odyssey into language and effect called “Shock of the New” Finch asks ‘How have we got so far/On foot? Long hills full of light, /towers of distrust, /the music of falling trees…’and explains how ‘when we/began it was a matter/of dealing with demons…’and goes on to detail the tasks a poet faced, such as understanding the land or the human condition and the challenges faced when ‘Our educated peers outran us.’
The poem ends by pondering ‘Does much matter/when it all ends.’ This fine collection doesn’t answer that question perhaps but shows us with enormous zest and energy how much it does matter -as we go through life – to be alert to it all, to the joyous, raucous possibility of language, of paying sharp attention to what’s around us and inside us.
Peter Finch enjoys revelling in verbs and making nouns fidget, cutting up texts and even making brackets interesting. The two, huge volumes of his Collected Poems show how he helped transform the poetic landscape of Wales, set up crazy skyscrapers among the booths, how he shook it all up.

Although they begin falling out as early as age 5, they last up until your child is anywhere from 11-13 years old. Some parents believe that it is ok if something happens to these teeth, because they are not permanent. This is false. It is critical that these teeth are kept healthy and strong. These “space savers” can cause unwanted dental issues with your child’s permanent teeth before they even erupt. White or silver fillings can be used to treat cavities or fractures in milk teeth.

Dike, Koenigstein Lead Baseball to 2-1 Victory Over Southern Illinois
CARBONDALE, Ill. - Needless to say, Ian Dike was struggling.
The senior strolled to the plate in the seventh scuffling, with zero hits, and seven strikeouts in his last 10 at-bats.
With two outs and Jimmy Swift on first, Dike busted out of his funk. His RBI double off Nathan Forer led the Bluejays (12-5, 2-0 MVC) to a 2-1 win over the Salukis (9-14, 0-2 MVC), Saturday afternoon at Abe Martin Field.
Both pitching staffs put together gems, as Brandon Koenigstein (3-0) needed just 75 pitches to earn his third win of the season. The sophomore hurled seven innings, allowing an unearned run on five hits.
Jack VanLeur retired the Saluki three, and four-hole hitters in order to post his fourth save on the season.
Forer was also up to the task, throwing seven solid innings of his own. He allowed just five hits, surrendering two runs, one earned, while striking out five.
Dike's double came with two out in the seventh, as he muscled a line drive into the teeth of a strong wind. His shot down the right field line scored Swift from first for the game-winning run.
A quick two-out spurt put the Jays up 1-0 in the first. An Adams single past the feet of feet of Forer and a passed ball by Tyler Bullock put Adams on second. T.J. Roemmich then shaved Forer's shoelaces again, with an RBI-single for the first CU run.
The Salukis benefited from a Creighton error in the fifth to square things at one. Bullock's chopper to second ate up Staehely, to start the frame. After Nick Johnson reached on a fielder's choice and stole second, a Brock Harding single through the middle scored him for the first SIU run.
Creighton and the Salukis will wrap-up their three game set in game two of the doubleheader at 2:45 p.m.
NOTES: Four of Staehely's last five hits have been for extra bases (three doubles, home run) after his first 10 hits were singles ... With the HBP in the eighth, Robbie Knight moved into fifth place on the NCAA's all-time list. He also reached base for the 25th straight game, and 58th out of the last 59 ... Creighton has won four straight series over the Salukis.

text: This mayfly has unique long hairs on its forelegs as the main distinguishing characteristic (allowing anyone keying to move through quickly). Carefully observe the limbs because such hair can be matted down and therefore hidden in preserved wet specimens. The body of Isonychia is slim and "minnow-like" when observed dorsally. In specimens we collected, they were commonly brown and substantial in length and width as compared to the very common Baetidae. Some individuals are immature, but upon closer inspection one can see the setae on the forelegs.

Michael Kerstgens was born in Wales, with family connections to the mining industry, but moved to Germany when a young boy; later, as a photography student – and spurred on by meeting representatives from the National Union of Mineworkers at a benefit event for the workers of a German colliery that was closing – he made the decision to come to Britain and photograph the then ongoing Miners’ Strike in this country.
He was lucky enough, more or less on arrival, to meet a fourth generation miner, Stuart ‘Spud’ Marshall, who had been working at the Darfield Main Colliery in South Yorkshire before the strike. Marshall not only befriended Kerstgens and made introductions on his behalf, he invited him to stay at his home in Wombwell, near Barnsley.
Kerstgens repaid this hospitality with a set of black and white photographs that go beyond the more usual depictions of picketing and conflicts with the police, though this are present; what he succeeds in doing is showing us the striking miners and their families in moments both of stress and relaxation, vivid portrayals of union meetings, social clubs and soup kitchens, miners and their wives relaxing at home. And, in a shorter section at the end of the book, Kerstgens brings the picture up to date with a series of colour photographs taken when he returned to the same village, the same people, in 2013, close to thirty years later.
Coal Not Dole, The Miners’s Strike 1984 / 1985 is published by Peperoni Books, Berlin


Ok this my have morphed into an LML with LBZ heads LOL.
Bolting them down least worrisome part. Making the Bosch injectors fit would be the greatest hurdle. The Delphi injectors are physically thinner than the Bosch but i doubt that there is enough meat in the head to be machined out to work. About the only way left would be to cut up a set of LBZ heads and weld the ports in the L5P heads. The wonderful thing about aluminum heads is this is doable.It’s going to take a lot of trial and error to see if the L5P heads work. They will bolt you, the L5P heads just have an extra smaller bolt along the top. Intake runners are a close match, but would would need to drill a few holes in the runners to make them bolt up. I never checked the coolant crossover pipe to see if it lines right up and bolts down.
Biggest thing I saw was the difference in pushrod length between the two. If you’re using the L5P rocker arm assemblies, will the L5P pushrods work, or will you need custom length?

Yup so far no release date just a confirmation still in development with no known plans of L5P ports being used.Have you tried calling and talking to anyone at Edelbrock

关于”我最喜欢的漫画“的英语作文范文2篇，作文题目：My favorite comic book。以下是关于我最喜欢的漫画的高中英语范文，每篇作文均为真题范文带翻译。
高分英语作文1：My favorite comic book
There are many TV programs in Taiwan today, from TV antennas, quiz shows, soap operas, movies to cartoons of all programs. I like watching cartoons most, such as cartoon net, Disney and many others. I like watching cartoons because they are very interesting and interesting.
Especially when I am sad, I also like cartoon characters. They are lovely and vivid. We watch cartoons Always use your imagination, because they are often exaggerated, so you need a sense of humor.
My Favorite Comic Strip
As a big fan of comics, my favorite comic strip is Garfield. Garfield is a fat, orange cat with a sarcastic personality. He is known for his love of gna, sleeping, and his distaste for Mondays.
I find Garfield’s sense of humor and relatable personality very entertaining. His humorous antics and witty one-liners always make me laugh. Garfield’s relationship with his owner, Jon, and his sidekick, Odie the dog, is also very endearing.
Reading Garfield comics is a great way to unwind and relax after a long day. I love how the comic strip never fails to put a smile on my face and brighten my mood.
Yuki midorikawais is one of my favorite Japanese artists. Her works are short stories, cleverly designed and full of sad expressions. Through her works, one of my favorite is "Xia Mu You Ren Zhang".
This comic book mainly tells that the protagonist Xia muguizhi has a special ability to see him out of company. Because his parents died, he often lived in relatives' house when he was a child. Because he had a special character, friends of this age always took him away.
Although he experienced a lot of unfortunate things, he was still alive and didn't complain to anyone. Finally, he was adopted by a very friendly couple. One day, he was sent to high school.
Driven by a bogie, he hid in a shrine named Benny, which involved the relief contract signed between chamolinze's grandmother and the bogie. Since then, this powerful bogie has become a daily life, living with chamolin, and protecting him with the condition that he gave the contract to him after his death, but before his death, shamud decided to do his best to give the name of the contract to the bogie, so that they could get . Thus, a story full of love, moving and terrible was opened.
Yukimimorikawa had another feature Other works called "yinghinghozhiensis" are also very moving, beautiful suggestions you can see when you are free.

At the moment, it is not known whether the issue is caused due to a problem with the hardware of the Pixel 6a or a software glitch. For those who are catching up, in-display fingerprint scanners have been around for almost four years now and almost every other smartphone has them. It is a security feature that prevents unauthorised access to users’ smartphones. However, if the fingerprint scanner on the Pixel 6a 5G can be unlocked with non-registered prints as well, it is not a safe device. Supposedly, the slow fingerprint unlock bug surfaced after the March security update, and it seems to affect the Google Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, and Pixel 5a.
More than 48 hours have passed since you last unlocked using your backup method. This will permanently erase all of annotating books for fun the data that’s stored on your phone. After the process has finished, you can restore your backup if you have one.
Unfortunately, Google seems to be unaware of the fingerprint scanner issue and is yet to comment on the matter. However, we did come across a workaround that might help fix the problem. Developed by Google, the Pixel lineup was introduced back in 2016 as the successor to the Nexus series. Over the years, people have embraced Pixel devices because they offer raw power with stock Android experience. Authorize payments or unlock appsIf a message asks you to scan your fingerprint, follow its instructions. Your fingerprint information isn’t shared with the app.
However, many of the affected users suggested the problem started after the March update. The smartphone comes with the same Google Tensor chipset that powers the Pixel 6 series and offers flagship mobile photography at Rs. 43,999. However, just like the Pixel 6 series, reviewers are coming across issues and bugs in the device. Most recently, it has been figured out that the Google Pixel 6a’s fingerprint scanner unlocks the smartphone with unregistered inputs. If you want to continue using a screen protector on your phone, try increasing the display’s touch sensitivity to get the in-display fingerprint scanner to work. Unfortunately, this option isn’t present on all Android phones.
We hope Google fixes the problem in an upcoming update. All hardware components on your phone, including the fingerprint scanner, are controlled by software. If something goes wrong with your phone’s software or if there are bugs, it can affect the fingerprint scanner’s performance. Check if there’s an update available for your phone and install it. If you have your Pixel, you can perform a factory reset using recovery mode. This mode is built right into the phone, and you can access it even if you’ve forgotten your phone’s password or PIN.
Google carried over the rear-mounted fingerprint reader of the Pixel 3a. The 3a had a fairly deep divot with a different finish on the fingerprint reader itself. Google made the Pixel 4a’s fingerprint reader blend in better with the body.
Your phone will reboot, and then you can set it up or restore a backup if you have one. Wait for the reset to finish, and select Reboot system now. Ght Recovery Mode, and select it with the power button. Use the volume buttons to highlight Rescue Mode, and select it with the power button.
Fingerprint scanners on phones have been around for a long time now. They’ve evolved from capacitive scanners on the back of a phone to ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanners. Using your fingerprint to unlock your phone is secure and convenient.
The web-based tool is the best option because it installs the latest version of Android in addition to factory resetting your phone. If you use the other options, you’ll need to update Android manually after resetting your phone. Android Police previously noted that the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro currently utilize a Goodix fingerprint scanner for biometrics. This is the same firm that provides OnePlus devices with the same device security tech.

Bottle 355 ml from www.erzbierschof.ch. Ale flavored of orange, caramel, brandy, rosemary and woody. Citrus fruits, molasses, spices, oak, vanilla and touch of maple syrup blend in a full body and a fat and syrupy texture. Soft finish on herbs, dried fruits, almond and tannic note.

4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle, poured into a mini-goblet. Cloudy, brownish-ruby, with minimal tan head. Nose is thick with molasses, bourbon, and slight sour cherry. Taste is insanely malty, more bourbon, a little toffee and overripe raspberry on the back of the tongue. Finishes clean, a bit of sweetness in the aftertaste. Mild bitterness. Very drinkable, but this is definitely a sipper. Mouthfeel is a touch on the thin side, but this may embolden itself with just a few months’ more aging. Lucky I picked up a 4-pk.

12oz bottle. Pours a clear dark-ruby color with a big off-white head. Creamy and long lasting foam. Aroma is huge: lots of malty sweetness with caramel and toasted notes. Hints of spicies too. Taste is similar: very sweet with huge caramel notes and spicies. Some alcholic flavor too. Full bodied with medium carbonation. Overtall, great. Very sweet, but still complex, warming and really enjoyable.

It has a rusty orange hue, with very little cream colored head. It has a sweet boozy malt smell. Tastes of sweet boozed malt with a twinge of brown sugar. The alcohol lingers on the palate with strong malt after taste. Very nice Old Ale hinging on a Barleywine.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Aroma is fruit,brandy. The appearance is a clear deep amber color, white head. Thin looking for this style. The flavor is sweet, fruit, apricot, alcohol. The finish is a booze warming. Medium/thick in body. Good Old Ale, by far not the best Old Ale.

09 vintage, slightly hazy crimson hued pour. aroma of sweet caramel, butter, scotch, butterscotch, oak, bourbonyness. the taste is sweet, hot and spicy, the barrel shows up more, very warm, thick and sweet. nice smooth body for the abv, just a touch of proper warming heat, a nice butterscotch sundae aftertaste.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: JUL 6, 2010 -Bottled. Orange Brown with almost no head and I poured fairly violently. Aroma is much stronger now forcing its way out of the bottle with booze spice, rum caramel candies, and brown sugar. Flavor follows suit with still more brown sugar... this beer is as good as I remember with bigger aroma from bottle. -Draught at Rattle n Hum. Brown with light haze, nice white head that stays the whole time. Aroma is not very strong, some spice and big booze. Taste is Christmas-y spice and brown sugar going big boozy bitter in finish. Sweet boozy upfront.
JorisPPattyn (9471) - Ursel, BELGIUM - MAY 16, 2010
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pouring viscous to nearly headless clear berry-red beer. Quite sweet, molasses-like nose, but with a convincing USA-hops aroma behind, as well as clear alcohol, presenting a nice madeirisation. Bittersweet with a good blance, the dry bitterness just winning out. Still, the sweet maltbacking remains throughout. Flowery, woody, and brandy notes. Especially the balance being good, I find something like Amaretto, too, and herbal notes. Slick, viscous, but dry enough. Full bodied, of course. Excellent Barley wine-like. American in character, but nowhere "over the top", as the expression seems to be.

Over 4,190 jobs hang in the balance at Blockbusters 528 stores after today’s announcement that the Deloitte has been appointed as administrator.
Lee Manning from Deloitte has highlighted the increased competition the firm has faced from internet based providers as customers switch to digital streaming of movies and games.
“We are working closely with suppliers and employees to ensure the business has the best possible platform to secure a sale, preserve jobs and generate as much value as possible for all creditors,” Mr Manning stated.
“The core of the business is still profitable and we will continue to trade as normal in both retail and rental whilst we seek a buyer for all or parts of the business as a going concern.
“During this time gift cards and credit acquired through Blockbusters trade-in scheme will be honoured towards the purchase of goods.”
The Uxbridge-based business opened its first store in London in 1989 and now trades from 528 outlets employing 4,190 staff.
The news follows the recent collapse of Jessops and HMV, all three companies faced growing competition from new technologies and online competitors.
Deloitte took control of HMV on Tuesday and said today that Blockbuster’s 528 stores will continue to trade as normal in the meantime.

Steve Morison says everything is still all to play for as Millwall travel to Middlesbrough in a crucial fixture in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday.
The Lions lost for the first time in 18 games in a 3-0 defeat at home to Fulham last Friday, and after Derby County’s victory over Cardiff City on Tuesday night now find themselves two points off the top six with just two games remaining.
And while Morison says the pressure remains off The Lions, who have surpassed all expectations this season following promotion from League One, he’s admitted the players have been hurting in the wake of the Fulham defeat.
“We didn’t get the result we wanted against Fulham, but we’re still fighting to live another day. We can play with no pressure and be free," he told millwallfc.co.uk.
"We were brilliant in the first half against Fulham and should have been winning the game.
“We then had a poor 45 minutes – it was probably the worst we’ve played since the second half at Norwich (on New Year’s Day).
“We’ve got together this week and put things into perspective. We’re on 69 points and we’ve had a fantastic season. With two games to go they’re still something to play for. It’s not all doom and gloom.”
Meanwhile, Neil Harris’ men are last to play out of their promotion rivals this weekend, but Morison doesn’t see that as an immediate advantage – conceding it could intensify pressure onto the squad.
He added: “It can work one or two ways. If Derby lose it becomes imperative we win. If they lose the pressure comes back on us then, because if we win it puts ourselves back in the Play-Off places.
“There’s lack of pressure from outside, but obviously we’ve got a pressure we’ve put on ourselves because we’re in touching distance now and we all want to be there.
“That’s what hurt most on Friday night. We forgot what it felt like to lose. We’re disappointed because we didn’t think we were going to lose and we did.
“Hopefully we can finish it off with an appearance in the Play-Offs, but all we can focus on at the minute is concentrate on beating Middlesbrough."

Mount Takao Guide
Mount Takao: read a guide to Mount Takao. Mount Takao is a pleasant day trip to a beautiful, natural Japanese environment outside Tokyo.
- Round trip tickets to Mt Takao
- Views from Mt Takao
- Hiking on Mt Takao
- Access to Mt Takao
- Tokyo Area Guides
Mount Takao: Tokyo's Mountain 高尾山
Tokyo, a city of millions of people, can sometimes be a little crowded, or even oppressive. Strangely enough, it's not too hard to get away from the city into a wilderness, Takao san, or Mount Takao, a small but beautiful mountain of 599 meters, rising on the edge of the larger mountain range about 40km west of Shinjuku.
Wonderfully, this beautiful and relaxing mountain, with its chairlift and cable-car, its temples and food stalls, and its walking trails and trees, birds and animals is less than an hour and a half from the bustle of central Tokyo.
Mount Takao can be very crowded on Sundays and holidays, but on weekdays it offers an escape from the crowds at any time of the year and is a refreshing cooler spot in the heat and humidity of a Tokyo summer. It is an especially popular destination during the plum blossom season in February and for viewing autumn leaves in November.

Round trip tickets to Mt Takao
Keio also offers special round trip tickets including a cable car or chair lift ticket. Leaving the endless busy-ness of Shinjuku, the train travels through Meidaimae and Chofu before reaching the busy junction of Kitano. Takaosanguchi is a cute country station and the end of the line. You can also take the JR Chuo line and change to the Keio line at Takao, another peaceful country station. This is more expensive, at 660 yen, and takes a few minutes more but may be worthwhile for those with Japan Rail Passes or staying close to the Chuo line.
Once outside Takaosanguchi station you can stroll through the town, checking out the souvenir shops and restaurants, or you can turn directly right and head for the trail or cable car or chair lift that will take you to Takao san. Walking all the way to the top will take about 90 minutes, but many people take the cable car or the chair lift to halfway up the mountain.
The one way fare is 470 yen for both cable car and chair lift, and the entrances to both are located close together, although getting to the chair lift departure point requires walking up two steep sets of stairs. Once you're there, it's quite a trip. You step onto the moving walkway, the chair looms up behind you, and you fall back into it.
There is no safety rail at the front of the chair but there is netting below the chair lift on the high bits so that if you fall you won't fall far. The view is extraordinary. The terminuses of both the cable car and the chair lift are also close together, the chair lift a little lower than the cable car. If you forgot to bring provisions, a stall at the cable car terminus sells small backpacks for 750 yen and another sells knotted walking sticks for 700 yen. There are also food stalls.

Views from Mt Takao
An observatory at the cable car terminus gives you a wonderful view of the mountain ranges, the Chuo Expressway and its tunnels below, and of Tokyo as far as Tokyo Bay in the distance. In summer you can see the view from a beer garden.
From the terminus, those who have taken the cable car or chair lift join those who walked from Takaosanguchi on the road up to the Mount Takao Visitors Centre. The first possible stop is at a monkey garden and botanical park. Next the path takes you through the Cedar Avenue to the Yakuoin Temple, about halfway between the cable car terminus and the summit of Takao san. The path is steep and the steps are many, but the temple is exceptionally beautiful. When the temples are left behind the path becomes a boardwalk, then more of a forested path.
Reaching the top, the Mount Takao Visitors Centre occupies a large flat sandy area bordered by stone walls and offering magnificent views of the surrounding mountains. The forests are beautiful shades of green, from the light green cedars to the dark green pines, and the different greens create an effect of shading and striping on the endless mountain ranges around. On a clear day you can see forever, as the song reflected, and sometimes, if there is no cloud you can see Mt Fuji, Fuji san.
Visitors who had come earlier (and presumably carried heavier burdens) were picnicking at the tables and seats place conveniently around the area, a casual game was being played with a soccer ball, photographs were being taken, and the general atmosphere was one of relaxation after healthy exercise.

Hiking on Mt Takao
For some visitors, of course, the walk to the peak was just a prelude to rather more strenuous walks around the area. If you are included amongst these, the Visitor Centre supplies a map of the trails. There are seven of them, focussing on different aspects of plants, forests, history and temples.
There are also noodle restaurants on the top of Mount Takao, as there are at other spots around the town and mountain. You can also enjoy other snacks and buy drinks and snacks from machines at many spots along the way. Stalls, which line the way to every tourist feature in the world, also sell everything from souvenirs to toy cars, Mt Takao pins (from a lucky dip machine) to both tasteful and tacky charms for decorating your mobile phone.
Mount Takao is known for its beautiful autumn foliage
Signs at various spots also illustrate birds and animals that can be seen in the park. Mount Takao is designated as a quasi-national park. As in all national parks, rules forbid picking flowers or interfering with the wildlife. There are no rubbish bins; visitors are invited to "take their trash home."
A great variety of people visit Mount Takao - grandparents and young children on a day out, young, cool couples and older couples, extended families, groups of friends and rare foreigners.
Above all, Mount Takao is peace and quiet, in small natural buildings in a beautiful natural environment.
Getting to Mt. Takao
A trip to Takao san really needs a full day to get there and back and to appreciate its possibilities. The easiest and cheapest way to get there is to take the Keio Takao Line train from Shinjuku Station. Start with a semi-special express to Kitano Station and change there to a local train for Takaosanguchi Station. It takes about an hour and costs 390 yen.

text: While store windows reflect the new wealth that is being produced and amassed in Greece, there is another side to the picture – new poverty. Hundreds of thousands of young people – some of them with degrees in tertiary education – who are unemployed against their will, others who have left their villages, workers who have lost their jobs at a mature age, women, members of single-parent families and families with many children, and a large number of pensioners make up the army of the newly poor. Official estimates show that the poor represent around 20 percent of the Greek population, while many more can barely afford basic necessities. That 20 percent, together with many more who are on the verge of poverty, include many social classes who are newly poor. Unlike marginalized city dwellers or neglected individuals in the provinces, they do not fit the classic profile of poverty. Nowadays poverty strikes even those who have what was once the most powerful antidote to poverty, a job. Poverty has reached out to encompass workers, mainly salaried employees in the private sector, and those who do not have permanent jobs. «Participation in labor is not always a sufficient condition for avoiding poverty,» comments Ilias Kikilias, a researcher at the National Center for Social Research. «Families in which only one member has a job and with low wages due either to low positions or to successive bouts of unemployment are some of the factors that contribute to the phenomenon of ‘poverty in work,’» he explained. The new type of poverty is also associated with the disintegration of the traditional model of family support and also of family businesses. «In the past, much employment came from small family businesses in cities of the provinces. After the 1990s, it became harder for such businesses to survive, so young people turned to salaried work,» he said. «But the social state as it exists in Greece is not oriented to a society of salaried work, which makes it completely ineffective.» For instance, Kikilias noted that while Greece spends around the same amount on social welfare as the European Union average, it manages to reduce poverty by only 3 percent, when the corresponding EU figure is 9 percent. The crisis among small businesses is revealing: Eighty percent of those who found employment in 2006 took on salaried jobs, but on certain conditions. Almost one in two of them (46 percent) were taken on as temporary workers, a number that rose to 66 percent for public servants. Another major factor in the emergence of the new type of poverty is the rapid abandonment of farming and the countryside, which has led unemployed youth to congregate in cities. The new poverty is chiefly apparent in Athens and Thessaloniki, where the cost of living is higher and the wages of the newly poor are even less adequate.

I am looking for suggestions on how to do the red top of this Maker's Mark cake in the link below. I'd like to get that sheen the original bottles have and I'd like those nice drips. Any suggestions?
red candy melts fauxnache.
Wilton cookie icing in red. It comes in a bottle and you melt it a little. It is great to drip over sides. It dries firm and has a nice sheen to it
It looks similar to ganache but red in color. I wonder if white chocolate made like ganache but colored red would work. I am no expert so I am sure others will have more ideas coming that could be better and easier. Good luck, I am sure you can do it!!!
Thanks, I hadn't thought about candy melts or that wilton product. I was also thinking a white chocolate ganache, but I figured to get that strong red color I'd have to get a fat soluble color, which I have been wanting to get anyway.
I second--- go with the red candy melts. That dark a red would take a lot of colour to deepen and could affect the chocolate and dry it out to crack.--and I am thinking powdered colour. As much as I prefer making my own stuff, this is one case where the premade works... Just be careful when you melt the red candy to do it low temp.
Thank you everyone!

10 Things You Can Do to Stop Thinking About Your Ex-10 Things You Can Do to Stop Thinking About Your ExSo, that’s what occurred. Another relationship has ended. And, as much as you’d like to be able to snap your fingers and forget about your phone’s “Do Not Text” contacts, getting over someone is far easier said than done. (Even after you looked up “how to hex your ex” on Google.)
Sure, you can erase their photos, delete their texts, and ban them on social media, but that isn’t the difficult part. It’s a different storey to get them out of your head.
Maybe you’re scratching your head, trying to figure out what went wrong. Perhaps you’re revisiting your most recent sex experience over and over. Whatever it is, there’s no doubting that the most difficult part of a breakup is often being unable to stop thinking about the person who caused the breakup.
While I wish I could give you a step-by-step guide on how to entirely remove this person from your mind, the truth is that there isn’t one. Feelings of love, or even just a deep “Like” for someone, don’t just go overnight. That isn’t to say you can’t do something about it.
To help, we sought breakup professionals including dating gurus, sexologists, novelists, and even a psychic for advice on how to quit thinking about someone—and believe me, they delivered. While these may not totally clear your thoughts, they should at least allow you to start moving on. Just keep in mind that time cures all wounds.
1.Distract yourself to the point where you’re too preoccupied to think about them.(10 Things You Can Do to Stop Thinking About Your Ex)
This is maybe the most obvious, but it’s true: redirecting that energy into creating something new is one of the finest ways to stop thinking about someone.
“A new project can not only serve as a distraction, but it can also expose previously unknown talents,” explains Bianca Williams, author of the romance series Sidelined. “Dig deep and use your emotional connection to that someone fire you, whether you’re writing a book, inventing a new app, or finally launching that new company plan you’ve been dreaming about.” It’s possible that it will take you to your goal.
2.Set some ground rules for yourself.
To be clear, you have complete control over where your mind travels and what you think about. But it’s a lot easier to do when you’ve established boundaries with your ex.
“Make it very clear what you need and don’t need from your ex early on in the breakup phase to make moving ahead more comfortable,” says Vanessa Russell, a dating specialist and writer for Women’s Health Interactive. “Let them know whether you don’t want them to call/text or if they can call/text under specific circumstances.”
She also recommends figuring out how to tell other shared friends or close family members, especially if you’ve been together for a long time. “Doing so will keep you on the same page, and if they keep their half of the bargain and you keep yours,” she says, “it will gradually disappear from your memory and allow you the time you need to recover and grow.”
3.Allow yourself to feel sad, upset, enraged, or anything else you choose.
You may be inclined to keep it all within and keep your cool, but professional therapist Oddesty K Langham advises the opposite. “It’s critical to allow yourself to feel the emotions that come with a breakup or a connection with another person,” adds Langham. “We should always acknowledge our feelings and grieve in a healthy and safe manner if necessary.” Then we should start letting it go, which means continuing on with our lives and pursuing our goals.”
You may realise that you have nothing left to feel or replay in your head once you’ve allowed yourself to truly feel everything.
4.Accept that you may still have feelings for this individual, and that’s perfectly fine.
I’m sure we all wish we could just stop caring about someone after a breakup, but we all know that’s not how human emotions work. Brenda Wade, a clinical psychologist and relationship expert at Online For Love, thinks it’s fine to still love your ex.
“Love is the greatest gift in life, and when love enters your life, you can never go wrong.” But it’s important to realise that love alone isn’t always enough to make a relationship succeed “she explains. “Moving on from a relationship, however, does not always mean that the love you feel has to disappear. The only way to let go is to love someone enough to desire the best for him or her, even if that means being apart.”
To put it another way, after you stop berating yourself for still caring about them, you might be able to stop thinking about them totally.
5.Allow yourself to indulge in all forms of self-care.
“Soak yourself in a bathtub filled with water and epsom salt to relax and rejuvenate,” says Vaishali Nikhade, a psychic whose readings are largely about relationships “she explains. This should assist in “”Clear away any unpleasant thoughts, feelings, or energy that you can’t seem to let go of.”
She confirms that thereafter, you’ll feel lighter (and hopefully less bothered over your ex). You can also indulge in other enjoyable self-care activities such as a massage, a new skin care routine, or a bubble bath.
6.In some circumstances, you may need to get closure.
I can promise you that closure is a made-up concept that will not bring you serenity 99.99 percent of the time. The majority of the time, nothing your ex says will make you feel better. It will only add to the length of time it takes for you to heal.
But, as Acamea Deadwiler, author of Single That: Dispelling the Top 10 Myths of the Single Woman, points out, “occasionally we can’t stop thinking about someone because there are unsolved concerns and things we need to say to them.”
Without ever mailing it, write a long letter to your ex detailing how you feel, why you’re hurt, what you wanted from them, and so on. Sometimes all you need is to write everything down as though you’re actually talking to this individual. It may also be beneficial to speak with a counsellor or therapist rather than your ex to help you sort out your issues.
But, if you really, truly need to talk to your ex and work out the details of your breakup (again, tread carefully), Deadwiler says it can be beneficial to do so. And it’s worth it if you know it’ll give you a clearer conscience and a lighter heart.
7,Reconnect with your true self.
You can get so caught up in avoiding thinking about your ex that you forget to focus about yourself. However, giving yourself the same amount of attention you would offer them may help you clear your mind.
“Grab your calendar or planner and develop a list of activities you enjoy doing alone or with friends and family,” advises K.S. Lewis. “Begin from the beginning and’make a date’ with yourself to complete each and every task. This is a perfect time to try a new restaurant, binge-watch your favourite show, relax at a spa, or take an online culinary class.” Before you know it, you’ll be too engrossed in your self-care to pay attention to anything else.”
8,Again, write everything down.
Writing, as previously stated, is critical to getting rid of the thoughts in your head. Pouring your thoughts out into paper might also help you empty your mind of certain concepts.
“Place some excellent music on, grab yourself a glass of your favourite wine, and start writing.” “It’s remarkable how much better you feel once you start allowing yourself to accept the thought, feel the emotion, and write it down,” explains matchmaker Jaida Pervis.
By the way, jotting down thoughts in your Notes tab is just as helpful if you’re not a “writing” type.
9.Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to recover quickly from the breakup.
“Regardless of the length of your relationship, getting over someone who has been a part of every aspect of your life can be difficult,” says clinical sexologist Rachel Sommer, PhD, co-founder of My Sex Toy Guide. “As a result, allow yourself permission to grieve without setting time restrictions, have someone on fast dial, and turn your emphasis to self-care and personal improvement.”
You’ll only think about someone more if you focus too much on why it’s taking so long to quit thinking about them.
10.Remove anything that reminds you of them from your life.
You’ll have to get rid of things that remind you of someone if you want to quit thinking about them. “Triggers that remind us of a real experience, an individual, a past incident” originate our thoughts, according to psychotherapist Nicholas Hardy. (This might be a restaurant, a specific gym, clothing, or presents.) “Regardless, with not thinking about someone, being deliberate about distancing oneself from continual reminders is really important.”
Keep in mind that we’re not suggesting you skip your favourite restaurant just because you once dined with your ex. However, it might be beneficial to your mental health if you avoided driving by your ex’s gym at the same time they go every day.

Meghan Markle and Oprah Winfrey Photograph:( Twitter )
Taking to social media, Oprah Winfrey revealed that she has received a “lovely Christmas basket” gifted to her by “my neighbour M” aka Meghan Markle.
Ever wondered what celebrities gift each other during the holiday season? As Christmas approaches, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have gone ahead to brighten up their neighbour, Oprah Winfrey’s week.
Taking to social media, Oprah Winfrey revealed that she has received a “lovely Christmas basket” gifted to her by “my neighbour M” and we all know who that is! Meghan Markle and Oprah Winfrey are neighbours. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had moved to the California neighbourhood of Montecito earlier this year which also houses high profile celebs like Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, Jennifer Lopez and Angelina Jolie to name a few.
On the first day of Christmas my [neighbour] 'M' sent to me...a basket of deliciousness!" she wrote, adding in brackets: "Yes that M 👑". Note the crown emoji!!
Oprah Winfrey then goes on to open the present that has various packets of Clevr oatmilk superlatte blends (with flavours including matcha, chai and turmeric), before complimenting the "nice decoration" of the gift, and then demonstrating how to make up a cup.
"My new drink of choice for the morning and night," Oprah wrote in her caption.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle made a surprise TV appearance this week on CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute. This is the first time she has appeared publicly since disclosing the miscarriage she experienced in July.


The Lexus ES350 comes with a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 that produces 272hp @ 6,200RPM and 346Nm torque @ 4,700RPM. That’s a fair bit of power in a car that weighs 2.1-tons.
As I mentioned above, the Lexus ES350 has one of the most comfortable interiors of any sedans, undoubtedly one of the best in its class. Understandably the car is more catered towards comfort rather than having a great driving experience. Unless your idea of having a great driving experienc is cruising down the highway in a very contained environment, in which case the ES350 is perfect.
Road noise is pretty much non-existent under 120 kmph, while above that it just a background buzz. Its nice to hear the engine every once in a while when you feel like pushing it, indeed the rev-happy V6 sounds generously ported through the cabin where you can appreciate the grunt being put into moving such a heavy car in such a short time.
There honestly isn’t anything great about the way the ES350 handles, except that everything from the power delivery along the RPM range to the gear shifts is smooth. Even when you’re in heavy traffic and need to feather the accelerator the ES350 will never have the sudden lurch forward, nor will it abruptly slow down if you take your foot off the accelerator. Comfort, at the end of the day, is the name of the game.
When it comes to overall luxury in such a large and decently good-looking package in a price that’s still reasonable, the Lexus ES350 has very few rivals. And going by how well the trend of comfort and safety continues in the sixth generation of the ES series, there’s little doubt that Lexus has yet another best-seller on their hands.
