Six years ago in New York City, a 43 year old Black father named Eric Garner was put into a chokehold by an NYPD officer named Daniel Pantaleo on suspicion that he was illegally selling loose cigarettes. The maneuver by the officer resulted in the asphyxiation and eventual death of Garner. The type of chokehold used by the officer has been banned in the NYPD since the 1990s.
The encounter was caught on film by Garner’s friend who said that Garner had actually just broken up a fight prior to the arrest. In the video, Garner can be heard repeatedly saying the words “I can’t breathe” as he is choked before having his head shoved into the ground with several other cops swarming in.
Fast forward to today, and the world once again hears the phrase “I can’t breathe” as another Black man, George Floyd, had his neck knelt on by an officer named Daniel Chauvin for nearly nine minutes, two minutes and 53 seconds of which Floyd was unresponsive. Floyd was accused of using counterfeit currency at a grocery store.
The incidences surrounding Floyd’s murder and that of Garner’s are very similar to each other. One was accused of selling loose cigarettes. One was accused of using a counterfeit bill. Both were unarmed. Both were Black. Both couldn’t breathe.
In recent days, following the death of George Floyd, widespread protests and riots have erupted across the nation not unlike those that the country has seen time and time again when dealing with racism.
This death in particular has once again thrust the Black Lives Matter movement into the spotlight. Started back in 2013 after the death of a Black teenager named Trayvon Martin, the Black Lives Matter movement has combined elements from many of its civil rights predecessors like the 1960s Civil Rights Movement or the movement for Black Power.
The Civil Rights Movement and the subsequent protests of the 60s did much to pave the way for the protests of today. In unrelenting efforts to reverse the inherent racism found within the country, Black activists such as Martin Luther King and John Lewis led nonviolent protests nationwide for several years. Notable protests methods like boycotts, sit-ins, or marches were utilized to great success. It is notable that many of these protests were met with open retaliation from police and federal forces alike. An incident in Birmingham, Alabama saw the police commissioner order dogs to attack the protestors. It is also important to mention that the FBI continuously harassed and attempted to obstruct the movement.
Yet, despite these virulent attacks that police and federal officials inflicted on the protestors, the protests remained wildy peaceful. All of these efforts eventually led to the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 both of which contributed to ending regulated segregation and put a stop to requiring qualifications to vote which disenfranchised people of color.
However, following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. at the hands of a white man, riots erupted across the United States. While the riots were primarily in response to King’s death, many still were upset about the discriminatory housing policies and the “white flight” which saw whites segregating communities by leaving urban areas for the suburbs. It was difficult for Blacks to get to the suburbs due to other discriminatory policies thus isolating people of color in areas that were over-policed and received little support for infrastructure or employment; a problem still being fought today. After a week of rioting, the Fair Housing Act of 1968 was passed, prohibiting discrimination in the sale, rental, financing of homes.
However, while the Civil Rights Movement accomplished big things, for many in the Black community, activists had simply not done enough to address the foundational racism that the country was built on. Moreover, many felt that progress was too slow in its current form. This is where the Black power movement came in.
Black activists such as Malcom X and Stokely Carmichael’s, as well as groups like the Black Panther Party, demanded more of the government and were willing to use force when necessary. X elaborated on his support of force by saying that the movement was “nonviolent with people who are nonviolent with us”. The foundation of Black power was built around the ideas of self-determination and racial pride stemming primarily from the philosophies of Malcom X. The civil rights leader established an organization known as the Organization of Afro-American unity a group tasked with combating racism in all its forms.
After Malcom X was assassinated and the San Francisco police shot and killed an unarmed Black teenager, two Black college students from Oakland, California established the Black Panther Party which helped to solidify the Black Power movement into history. The party organized armed civilian groups to patrol mostly in protest to police brutality. However, beyond their increased militarism the group also supplied free breakfast for school children, sickle-cell anemia testing, legal aid, and adult education. In addition, the group subscribed to Malcom X’s principles on racial nationalism and that integration into white society should not be the end goal. To fortify these ideas the party created their Ten-Point Program which called for the government to remake its law enforcement and justice system and fortify Black communities with better employment, housing, and education. The group felt the American government at least owed the Black community this much considering that “The American racist has taken part in the slaughter of over fifty million Black people”.
Beyond the demands for economic, intellectual, and social equality, those of the Black Power movement also demanded further representation in education curriculum and various artistic mediums. They desired more Black art and Black history to be showcased in society to help educate people on the position of African-Americans both in their current form and in the past.
While the Civil Rights Movement’s tactics are still touted today as some of the most successful forms of protest, the conditions that the Black Power movement was centered around namely the systematic racism in law enforcement and the justice system is what the newer movements such as Black Lives Matter are focusing on.
Police brutality, particularly against African-Amercians, has been one of the bigger subjects of conversation the last few decades. With the advent of the internet, videos of police brutality against people of color have circulated widely online leading to widespread outcrys of corruption and racism in law enforcement.
One of the most notable early cases to go viral was that of the 15 minute beating of Rodney King in the early 90s in Los Angeles. King was an African-American man who was on parole for a robbery. He had just led police on a high speed chase, but after being caught, King was ordered from his car and was then assaulted by several LAPD officers while more than a dozen others stood by watching and commenting on the beating. Only four officers were charged with assault and excessive use of force, but all were acquitted by a predominately white jury. Following the verdict, the city erupted into riots chanting phrases like “No Justice, No Peace” another common protest chant used today. The riots eventually resulted in the resignation of the city police chief as well as the mayor’s decision not to run for a sixth term. In addition, two of the officers were eventually convicted in a civil lawsuit stating that they had violated King’s civil rights.
All of this is to show that the current Black Lives Matter movement is an amalgamation of all of the injustices and movements that have come before it. The current protest methods and chants used are those that have been tried and true during the Civil Rights Movement and the Rodney King riots. The purpose behind the movement is also very similar to those that have come before it; especially the movement for Black Power.
It is as imperative as ever to understand the history behind the movement so a thorough understanding of why people are protesting and what they are protesting for can be reached. The basis behind the protests is one for equality and a fight for human rights. It is a fight that has gone on for centuries and will continue to go on unless change is made.

From the start, there was something special about this winter sports season.
It's been a good time - one for the record books - for the schools here in Redlands.
Redlands, Redlands East Valley, Citrus Valley and Arrowhead Christian ruled the Citrus Belt, Ambassador, Mountain Valley and San Andreas leagues.
In all, these schools registered a combined eight league championships and with the playoffs about to begin, these teams may be far from done.
The effort included four league titles in soccer, two in basketball and two in girls water polo.
Not bad for one town.
The regular season for all winter sports ended on Friday at Citrus Valley, where the Blackhawks' girls water polo team had to endure a bruising encounter with San Gorgonio. The Blackhawks (10-0) prevailed to complete a perfect run through the San Andreas League. It was Citrus Valley's second straight league championship season. Last season the Blackhawks shared the SAL crown with Cajon.
But in girls water polo the area is ruled by Redlands East Valley. The Wildcats, just a day before Citrus Valley's win, completed their fourth straight undefeated 10-0 run through the CBL.
Again, that is four seasons, four undefeated league records and four league championships.
The success of the REV and Citrus Valley girls water polo teams, however, was expected.
But what has occurred in the sport of soccer was something no one could have predicted - four league champions, who combined for 70 wins
Again, where to start?
Redlands East Valley's boys team, on paper at least, wasn't supposed to be the dominant force it turned out to be.
Instead, the Wildcats (21-1-3, 10-0) overwhelmed opponents and their run through the CBL was somewhat anticlimactic - they were that good.
And REV's undefeated league record may put it all into perspective. It's the first time a REV team has done that. Redlands' girls soccer team (16-6-2, 9-0-1) played its way into the record books with its first CBL title in a decade.
The Terriers, whose roster features two scholarship players, certainly earned their CBL championship plaque. They swept rival Redlands and turned away serious challenges from CBL newcomer Cajon and perennial power Yucaipa.
Not to be outdone was Arrowhead Christian (12-3-5, 11-0-3), whose girls team dealt with some serious drama to win the Ambassador League title. The Eagles overcame injuries, a case of the flu and conquered a 3-game stand in the final week of the season to nail down its championship.
And, of course, there is the girls soccer team at Citrus Valley (20-1-1, 10-0). Talk about cruise control. This team made it look easy as it ran through the Mountain Valley League to win its second straight league title.
The Blackhawks, the first team to win a CIF-SS championship at the school, have long been ready to begin defense of that championship.
Finally, it's time for some basketball.
But again, where to start? Redlands East Valley? Citrus Valley?
Both are league champions.
The Wildcats (19-8, 7-3) did the unthinkable and took a share of the Citrus Belt League title away from perennial power Eisenhower. And to make things exciting, the Wildcats did so with a heroic and dramatic overtime victory in the final game of the season.
Citrus Valley (14-10, 9-1) started the season with its back against the wall, losing key players to graduation and relocation. But the Blackhawks evolved into a league title contender along the way, taking the unusual route of one-day tournaments to help their cause. In the end the Blackhawks repeated as MVL champs.
It's been a winter season for the record books, certainly a season for the scrapbooks.
But it's not over yet. Playoff pairings are announced today.
The season is far from over.

Oil price rises above $70 after attacks on Saudi oil facilities
Simply sign up to the Oil & Gas industry myFT Digest -- delivered directly to your inbox.
Oil prices briefly rose above $70 a barrel for the first time in 14 months after Saudi Arabia, the world’s top oil exporter, said its energy facilities had been attacked on Sunday, targeting “the security and stability” of global supplies.
A drone attack from the sea on a petroleum storage tank at Ras Tanura, one of the largest oil shipping ports in the world, took place on Sunday morning, the kingdom said.
In the evening, shrapnel from a ballistic missile fell in Dhahran, where state oil company Saudi Aramco has its headquarters and near where thousands of employees and their families live.
While Saudi Arabia’s ministry of energy said the attacks “did not result in any injury or loss of life or property”, and a person familiar with the matter said no production had been affected, the attacks have still unsettled oil markets that have rebounded strongly in recent months.
Brent crude, the international benchmark, rose as much as 2.9 per cent to $71.38 a barrel on Monday morning in Asia while West Texas Intermediate, the US benchmark, rose by a similar amount to a high of $67.98 a barrel. Both commodities pulled back later on Monday, with Brent slipping to $68.77 and WTI inching lower to $65.49.
Yemen’s Iran-allied Houthi fighters claimed responsibility for the attacks and said they had also focused on military targets in the Saudi cities of Dammam, Asir and Jazan.
A Houthi military spokesperson said the group had fired 14 bomb-laden drones and eight ballistic missiles in a “wide operation in the heart of Saudi Arabia”.
Amrita Sen at Energy Aspects emphasised that while a direct hit on oil supplies appeared to have been avoided, the threat to the market would still be taken seriously by oil traders.
“The oil price was already on a strong footing after Saudi Arabia and Opec’s decision last week to keep restricting production,” she said.
Brent crude, the international oil benchmark, had risen close to $70 a barrel after the cartel and allies outside the group, including Russia, decided not to unleash a flood of crude on to the market.
Amid uncertainty about the oil market outlook as the coronavirus crisis continues to have an impact on crude demand, the group decided against raising production by 1.5m barrels a day from April.
Given the supply curbs, while the kingdom has the extra production capacity to tap into, “geopolitical threats to supply will add a premium to the price”, Sen added.
The kingdom’s state media outlet said earlier in the day that the Saudi-led military coalition confronting the Houthis had intercepted missiles and drones aimed at “civilian targets” without indicating their location.

The Eastern Province, where Dhahran is located, is where much of Saudi Aramco’s oil facilities are located. The attack is the most severe since September 2019.
At that time the kingdom was rocked by missile and drone fire that hit an important processing facility and two oilfields, temporarily shutting off more than half of the country’s crude output.
The Houthis have ramped up assaults on Saudi Arabia through airborne attacks and explosive-laden boats and mines in the Red Sea, laying bare the vulnerability of the country’s energy infrastructure despite the kingdom’s production prowess and its hold over the oil market.
“The frequency of these attacks is rising, even if the impact on energy infrastructure appears limited,” said Bill Farren-Price, a director at research company Enverus. “We know the capacity to cause serious damage exists, so this will boost the risk premium for oil.”

Water Quality of Four Major Lakes in Mississippi, USA: Impacts on Human and Aquatic Ecosystem Health

- Harmful algal blooms (HABs), harmful microorganisms (pathogens) and toxic metals represent three major agents of water quality deterioration. Water quality of three northern lakes (Sardis, Enid, and Grenada) and a central lake (Ross Barnett Reservoir) of Mississippi, USA were examined in this study. While all these lakes are heavily used for recreational purposes, the Ross Barnett Reservoir serves additionally as the primary water supply for the City of Jackson, the capital city of Mississippi. The main goal of this study was to comprehensively assess the water quality of these lakes employing field and satellite data, and evaluate the potential human and aquatic health impacts. A time-series of true color images derived from satellite data indicated that algal blooms have been a recurring phenomenon in these lakes. Cyanobacteria, the algal group that predominantly occur in freshwater and form toxic blooms, were always present in these lakes and were most abundant on many occasions. The most toxic cyanotoxin, microcystin-LR, was found in all lakes, and its concentrations exceeded federal drinking water guidelines for children under six years of age many times. Potential bioaccumulation and biomagnification of microcystin-LR may pose serious risk to the aquatic ecosystem and human health including adults. Nutrient measurements indicated that all four lakes were eutrophic. Among bacterial populations, total coliforms and enterococci exceeded guideline values on several occasions. Arsenic, cadmium, chromium, and lead were found in the water of all the lakes, with arsenic exceeding the guideline values at two sites in Ross Barnett Reservoir. While it is apparent from this study that these lakes face many water quality issues, data across all seasons will be required to document potential trends and to devise management strategies. Use of remote sensing technology is recommended to monitor some of the water quality parameters such as suspended particulate matter and algal blooms, especially cyanobacterial blooms.

The Humane Society for Southwest Washington (HSSW) is at capacity and needs help finding homes for countless cats and kittens.
The overcrowding was recently made worse when someone abandoned between 18 and 24 cats at a Hazel Dell home.
Plus, kitten season is approaching its peak.
Cats typically give birth between May and September, flooding local animal shelters and rescue groups with homeless litters of kittens.
"At this time of year, our biggest challenge is space. Our shelter is over capacity, yet cats and kittens keep coming in the door. Right now, we are receiving 20-30 new cats and kittens into our care each day," said Lisa Feder, Director of Operations for HSSW.
"Our goal is to keep them healthy, and find new homes for them as quickly as possible to free up space for incoming animals."
The Humane Society for Southwest Washington, which also serves as the stray sheltering facility for Clark County Animal Protection and Control, expects to see nearly 2,500 kittens pass through its doors this year.
"Our shelter is full. As of today, we are caring for 412 cats and kittens - which is nearly double our population during the winter months," said Feder.
"The biggest concern is the spread of illness among cats and kittens who come to us with unknown medical problems. Of our current population, 22 percent of those cats and kittens are presently being treated for Upper Respiratory Infections (URI), the most contagious disease among shelter cats."
While a majority of the Hazel Dell cats and kittens have already been trapped and brought into HSSW's shelter, the Humane Society hopes that the community will lend a hand in helping with housing them while the shelter is at maximum capacity.
"We need four to six families who are willing to temporarily foster a few cats and kittens, adopt them, or help us find adoptive homes for them," said Feder.
"We can help provide food, if that is an issue, as well as spay and neuter surgeries, vaccinations, and medications to aid in restoring their health. We just need the community's support in helping to provide shelter at this time. We have some resources to care to these cats, but what we simply do not have is space to house them."
Other ways members of the public can assist at this time include:
· Donate money and resources, especially quality cat food.
· Find homes for cats and kittens on your own as an alternative to bringing them to the shelter.
· Adopt a cat or kitten that needs a home.
· Volunteer to foster animals, now or in the near future.

Big change to The Voice format that’s left fans seriously unimpressed
So much has changed this year on The Voice, and fans are not holding back their disappointment with the new format.
The Voice has hardly begun, but it feels like it’s already over. And that’s probably because of the very rushed, new format.
Gone are the days of the Battle rounds, arguably one of the best parts of the show, following close behind the Blind Auditions.
This year, there isn’t even a chance for the coaches to save performers that lose in the Battles.
Instead, the contestants advanced to The Cut where they had to sing on the spot in a dimly lit studio to win a spot in the Knockouts.
Basically, the entire show has been shaken up, and fans aren’t loving it.
With the coaches having an unlimited amount of chair-turns, it meant that they were a little more relaxed about who they would let into their teams. A good thing for any performers who were auditioning at the tail end of the Blinds. However, it meant that the next phase of the show was brutally short and unsubstantial.
The coaches were only allowed to bring five members from their team from the Blind Auditions to the Knockouts, and with some teams having 12-14 members, it meant viewers has no chance to emotionally connect with any of them, let alone have a chance to hear them properly sing.
With a huge chunk of the contestants dropped during the Cut round, fans were quick to express their disappointment in this new format.
“This format doesn’t allow for us to connect with the contestants. Couldn’t care less who wins when people are dumped after a 10-second sound bite,” one person wrote on social media.
“This whole cut experience was so sh**ty, they got rid of so many people who we had all grown to love and we barely had time to see them go,” another said.
“The ‘cut’ was grossly unfair and terrible TV. So disappointing for viewers,” another remarked, with a different user adding: “Silly format, lost interest quickly.”
This year has the best singers we ever had but sadly it getting ruined by horrible format #TheVoiceAU— Nebojsa Kotur (@Astrobacca) August 29, 2021
What the point of watching the voice if we can't even hear them sing and how disrespectful to those artist they couldn't even bother give 10 seconds to like the rest ð#TheVoiceAU— patricia jlailaty (@Patriciakeyy) August 24, 2021
What a ridiculous format, the singers deserve a better chance #TheVoiceAU— Mike (@bikeymikey70) August 24, 2021
Screw the cut, man. We waited to see more of these singers, just to have them on screen for 30 seconds then booted off for good. The older format was way better #TheVoiceAU— RhodneyMcGinnis (@McRhodney) August 24, 2021
You could make a whole second show from the #TheVoiceAU ârejectsâ this year. Too many good singers.— Lettuce Lady (@LettuceDaze) August 30, 2021
#TheVoiceAU whoever thought of this new format needs to go. Not enough time to get to know these artists and not enough time to mentor. WHAT IS THE POINT?!?!— Sonjarita (@s00ky_lala) August 30, 2021
This seasons horrible format is ruining amazing singers dreams so easily #TheVoiceAU— Nebojsa Kotur (@Astrobacca) August 30, 2021
Coaches should have savesâ¦ iâve said this many times before but iâm going to say it again. I HATE THIS FORMAT!!! #TheVoiceAU— Lodz ð¦ (@sumwheresmiling) August 30, 2021
Things weren’t much better during the Knockouts, with the coaches only taking two members out of their five into the semi-finals.
Even worse were some of the new rules, which allow coaches to drop a member of their team instantly after performing live – which was disheartening to say the least.
Especially for Halimah Kyrgios, tennis legend Nick Kyrgios’ sister. Halimah sung an amazing rendition of This Is Me from The Greatest Showman, and was immediately dropped by Rita Ora because she couldn’t envision what to do with her in the future.
While all eliminations are hard, it would have been nice for the viewers to see more of their talents, especially the ones who were cut from the show immediately after the Blinds.
Following the two-night Knockout round, Guy Sebastian decided to take Bella Taylor-Smith and Jordan Fuller to the Semi-Finals.
Keith Urban went with Arlo Sim and Lau Abend.
Rita Ora will be taking on girl band G-Nation and Sian Fuller.
More Coverage‘Grossly unfair’: Viewers trash Voice formatRita criticises Jess’ decision on The Voice
Jessica Mauboy decided on Ella Monnery and Mick Harrington.
Sunday night will be the first night of the Semi-Finals, which will no doubt showcase a lot more of the final eight performers’ talents. Something we’re sure viewers are excited about.

The Cardinal and the Queen by Evelyn Anthonyworkday mp3 - this is a period romance, no historical detail as I know it just famous characters from the time bed-hopping and intriguing. Not my type of book at all.
Read By: Sarah Sherborne
Genre: Historical Fiction
blurb - Set against the background of seventeenth-century France, this is the story of the Hapsburg princess who became bride and Queen to Louis X111 of France.
The eldest daughter of King Philip III of Spain and Margaret of Austria, Anne was married to the 14-year-old Louis XIII in November 1615. Throughout his life Louis treated her with a cool reserve. In 1625 the English George Villiers, 1st duke of Buckingham, created a scandal at the French court by revealing his passion for the Queen. Her plight worsened as the powerful Cardinal de Richelieu, Louis XIII’s chief minister from 1624 to 1642, sought to prevent her from exercising any influence over her husband. Anne took as her confidante the scheming Marie de Rohan-Montbazon, Duchess de Chevreuse. Anne and the queen mother, Marie de Médicis, failed in their attempt to persuade Louis to dismiss the Cardinal (the Day of Dupes, 1630).
After Richelieu declared war on Anne’s brother, King Philip IV of Spain, in 1635, she remained sympathetic to the Spanish cause. Richelieu’s spies kept her under surveillance, and in 1637 the Cardinal humiliated her by proving that she had been visiting the nunnery of Val-de-Grâce in order to conduct treasonable correspondence with Phil
Richelieu, the Purple and the Blood (TV movie w/ english subtitles)
There were lots of rumors at the time that the two were In Lurve due to their closeness. The film itself is a two-parter. The first part focuses on the death of Louis XIII, Anne assuming the regency and Mazarin the chief minister post, and the two of them hooking up. I was surprised at how much money appears to have been thrown at this production. Impressively, there was a dearth of poly baroque satin and even, dare I say it, silk was worn! The costumes got the general gist of midth century right. And okay, there were some metal grommets , but at least they were the small ones?
A Catholic theological movement, primarily in France, that emphasized original sin, human depravity, the necessity of divine grace, and predestination. The movement originated from the posthumously published work of the Dutch theologian Cornelius Jansen, who died in It was opposed by many in the Catholic hierarchy, especially the Jesuits. A series of wars in Central Europe between and Initially a war between various Protestant and Catholic states in the fragmented Holy Roman Empire, it gradually developed into a more general conflict involving most of the great powers.

The world is going through a big crisis at the moment with Covid-19 badly influencing every aspect of human life. These challenging times demand that we all stay at home and that is only possible if we keep ourselves busy with fun activities. Therefore, some turn to the Ladbrokes sign up bonus code while others go for video games and e-sports for their entertainment.
1- Play video games
Social restrictions due to the Coronavirus pandemic these days have made it easier for video game fanatics to play guilt-free for a long period. For these gamers, it has become as easy as clicking a button on their Nubia Play 5G to play all their favorite games with their best buddies.
These gaming enthusiasts have a lot of options at their disposal. If they don’t like traditional video games, then they can play multiplayer games. They can even choose to play from hundreds of classics like Super Mario Bros., Minecraft, and Tetris, etc.
2- Cook together with friends
Staying all the time at home during the Coronavirus pandemic can be very frustrating for many people. Therefore, they come up with new hobbies and activities to beat the boredom. Cooking is one such hobby which is becoming increasingly popular these days. You can find more and more people showing off their cooking skills by posting pictures of cookies and cakes, etc.
However, they can also make this a shared experience by using video calling applications to cook together with their friends and acquaintances. Alternatively, they can join online cooking classes to improve their baking skills with many famous chefs.
3- Enjoy Netflix Party
The concept of a Netflix Party is very recent but it is something every moviegoer and TV show fans should try for their fun and enjoyment. It is a great way to enjoy all your favorite TV shows with your friends and family.
It allows its users to communicate with each other during the streaming of their shows. They can either use a chatroom or they can employ a separate application for communication. You cannot get a better virtual party than the Netflix Party which lets you have a great time with your buddies.
Exercise is necessary for the physical and mental health of a person. It has become more important these days when people stay at home all the time and tend to be glued to a screen mostly.
If you find less motivation in exercising alone, then you can work out with your friends. Seeing someone doing the same exercise is likely to increase your interest too. You can also join an online group to try doing a Zumba dance or a peaceful yoga session.

"My 9 year old son attended the skateboarding camp last week. He had so much fun and learned a lot from the instructors and other children. He received lots of encouragement and support from the staff at TSC. As a beginner on the 1st day of camp, I was amazed by the skills he acquired by the end of the week. We had such a positive experience that we've signed him up for another camp session and got a TSC membership. Looking forward to more adventures at TSC!."

Brussels, 25 Jan 2005
A Fifth Framework Programme (FP5) project has developed new generation prosthetics and artificial limbs that use controlling computer devices.
The MOL SWITCH project has built a single-molecule DNA sequencing device, together with a molecular magnetic switch, which combines a biological motor and a moving magnetic bead. By linking the biological and silicon microelectronics worlds, the partners in the project have been able to move artificial limbs by changing the mechanisms of interface between computers and humans.
'The MOL SWITCH Project is one of the most successful research projects I have been involved with,' says project coordinator Keith Firman from the University of Portsmouth. 'The concept was based on the idea of a simple molecular dynamo - the molecular motor would move a magnetic bead, attached to DNA, past a sensor, which would 'switch' a sensor producing electrons that could switch a silicon device such as a computer. The potential use of such a device might be to activate artificial limbs from existing muscle of an amputee, to fly aircraft under high G-force, or as a generic biosensor - the uses are wide varying.'
The project received 1.97 million euro from the European Commission under the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) scheme within the Information Society Technologies (IST) programme of FP5. It brought together six European partners.
'We have also shown that this motor could be used in a wide range of devices (as a nanoactuator), from a biosensor through to a single-molecule, DNA sequencing device,' added Dr Firman. The potential for such a nanoactuator is a cheap, biodegradable motor that can be used across a wide range of biochips to enable controlled movement of materials.'

Folks This Is Getting Dangerous! White House demands military prisons for Americans under NDAA!
The White House has asked the US Second Circuit Court of Appeals to place an emergency stay on a ruling made last week by a federal judge so that the president’s power to indefinitely detain Americans without charge is reaffirmed immediately.
On Wednesday, September 12, US District Court Judge Katherine Forrest made permanent a temporary injunction she issued in May that bars the federal government from abiding by the indefinite detention provision in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, or NDAA. Judge Forrest ruled that a clause that gives the government the power to arrest US citizens suspected of maintaining alliances with terrorists and hold them without due process violated the Constitution and that the White House would be stripped of that ability immediately.
Only hours after Judge Forrest issued last week’s ruling, the Obama administration threatened to appeal the decision, and on Monday morning they followed through.
At around 9 a.m. Monday, September 17, the White House filed an emergency stay in federal appeals court in an effort to have the Second Circuit strip away Judge Forrest’s ruling from the week earlier.
“Almost immediately after Judge Forrest ruled, the Obama administration challenged the decision,” writes Chris Hedges, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist that is listed as the lead plaintiff in the case. According to Hedges, the government called Judge Forrest’s most recent ruling an “extraordinary injunction of worldwide scope,” and Executive Branch attorneys worked into the weekend to find a way to file their stay.
“The Justice Department sent a letter to Forrest and the Second Circuit late Friday night informing them that at 9 a.m. Monday the Obama administration would ask the Second Circuit for an emergency stay that would lift Forrest’s injunction,” Hedges writes. “This would allow Obama to continue to operate with indefinite detention authority until a formal appeal was heard. The government’s decision has triggered a constitutional showdown between the president and the judiciary.”
“A Department of Homeland Security bulletin was issued Friday claiming that the riots [in the Middle East] are likely to come to the US and saying that DHS is looking for the Islamic leaders of these likely riots,” Afran tells Hedges. “It is my view that this is why the government wants to reopen the NDAA — so it has a tool to round up would-be Islamic protesters before they can launch any protest, violent or otherwise. Right now there are no legal tools to arrest would-be protesters. The NDAA would give the government such power. Since the request to vacate the injunction only comes about on the day of the riots, and following the DHS bulletin, it seems to me that the two are connected. The government wants to reopen the NDAA injunction so that they can use it to block protests.”
Monday morning, Hedges once more responded to the White House’s relentless attempts to reauthorize powers granted under the NDAA, asking, “If the administration is this anxious to restore this section of the NDAA, is it because the Obama government has already used it? Or does it have plans to use the section in the immediate future?”


NWS: Bridgeport had 3rd warmest summer on record
We have a wet, cool and windy day start to the work week with warmer, more humid air moving in on Tuesday.
The steamy forecast comes as no surprise.
In fact, the Northeast Regional Climate Center said the Bridgeport area had the third warmest summer on record.
Bridgeport also had its second warmest August with an average of 77.9 degrees, 4.6 warmer than normal.
“Meteorological summer, which encompasses the months from June through August, was noticeably warmer than usual for the Northeast,” the center said.
“All major climate sites in the region recorded warmer-than-normal temperatures during this past season. Seventeen climate sites in the Northeast experienced among their ten warmest summers ever recorded, and Caribou, Maine, ranked this as their warmest summer on record. The heat wave during the first week of July, in addition to the warm temperatures throughout much of August, helped contribute to this summer being warmer than usual.
The summer temperature at Sikorsky Memorial Airport in Stratford averaged 74.3 degrees - 2.1 degrees higher than normal.
Hartford had it sixth warmest summer with 73.1 degreees, 1.9 degrees above normal.
The hottest summer in Connecticut was in 2010 with an average of 77.9 degrees.
In a tie with 1934, the summer of 2018 ranked as the fourth hottest summer on record for the contiguous United States after three months of blistering temperatures, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
During the meteorological summer, the average temperature for the contiguous U.S. was 73.5 degrees, 2.1 degrees above average.
Monday, however, will be cool with rain and winds gusting up to 36 mph.
As for Hurricane Florence, the National Hurricane Center’s latest forecast takes the system westward toward the Carolinac coast toward the end of the week. “Outside of a prolonged period of swells, resulting in rough surf, dangerous rips currents, and beach erosion, it is appearing less likely that the region (including Connecticut) will experience direct impacts.”
Today: Rain. High near 66. Breezy, with an east wind 17 to 21 mph, with gusts as high as 36 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100 percent. New precipitation amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.
Tonight: Showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Some of the storms could produce heavy rain. Patchy fog after midnight. Temperature rising to around 68 by 2 a.m. Breezy, with a southeast wind 15 to 20 mph decreasing to 9 to 14 mph after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90 percent. New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.
Tuesday: A 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Some of the storms could produce heavy rain. Patchy fog before 9am. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a high near 80. South wind 8 to 10 mph.
Tuesday Night: A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Cloudy, with a low around 71. South wind around 6 mph becoming calm in the evening.
Wednesday: A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 82. Northeast wind 3 to 7 mph.

Several types of candy imported to New York City from Mexico may contain trace amounts of lead, according to the federal Food and Drug Administration.
The FDA issued a statement on April 9, warning against any Mexican candy that contains significant amounts of chili powder. “It would be prudent to not allow children to eat these products at this time,” it states.
Two weeks later, the Orange County Register revealed that more than 80 types of Mexican candy—including Lucas snack powder; Vero Elotes lollipops; and Pelon Pelo Rico tamarind paste—have tested high for lead dozens of times over the past 10 years.
City Limits found many of these popular treats still on the shelves of local bodegas in East Harlem, Sunset Park and Corona.
The Register’s two-year investigation discovered that the candy gets contaminated during the production process, when dirt is inadvertently mixed into chili powder or tamarind paste is stored in clay pots glazed with lead.
While testing by California’s health department found inconsistent results, the story’s authors note that even occasional exposure to low doses of lead could harm a child’s mental development.
Bruce Lanphear, an Ohio-based pediatrician and lead poisoning expert, agrees. “Given the increasing evidence that there is no threshold for the consequences on children’s intellectual abilities, we must find ways to prevent the multiple ways that children are exposed to lead,” he said.
It is not yet clear if or how the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is responding to the FDA warning. The agency could not comment on the matter by press time.
Some observers note that the agency may be wary of getting dragged into another political mess. Last year, during hearings on the city’s new lead paint law, opponents—including the Health Department—noted that some lead poisoning cases were among immigrants exposed abroad. Supporters of the law accused them of using that argument to deflect attention from irresponsible landlords.
“It was ugly,” recalled Cordell Cleare, chair of the New York City Coalition to End Lead Poisoning, which pushed for the law. Though she hadn’t seen the recent news stories, Cleare said the coalition had discussed risks associated with candy.
Still, it isn’t her main concern. “The major source of poisoning is not Mexican candy,” she said. “The major source of poisoning is poorly maintained housing.”

Open your heart and mind to the wisdom of the animal world.
Animal Speak provides techniques for recognizing and interpreting the signs and omens of nature. Meet and work with animals as totems and spirit guides by learning the language of their behaviors within the physical world.
Animal Speak shows you how to: identify, meet, and attune to your spirit animals; discover the power and spiritual significance of more than 100 different animals, birds, insects, and reptiles; call upon the protective powers of your animal totem; and create and use five magical animal rites, including shapeshifting and sacred dance.
This beloved, bestselling guide has become a classic reference for anyone wishing to forge a spiritual connection with the majesty and mystery of the animal world.
Want to learn how to speak the language of critters, large and small? Easy-to-read and understand, Ted Andrews’s bestselling Animal Speak shows readers how to identify his or her animal totem and learn how to invoke its energy and use it for personal growth and inner discovery. Nature lovers will love this insightful compendium, chock-full of touching stories about animals, natural history, and animal folklore. Readers will also learn magical animal rites and how to read omens. Animal Speak includes a dictionary of bird, animal, reptile, and insect totems, which describe each creature’s meaning. For example, if a person’s totem is dragonfly, he or she was most likely excessively emotional and passionate in early years, learning with age to balance it with mental clarity and control. If a dragonfly suddenly shows up in your life, it means you may need to gain a new perspective or make a change. –P. Randall Cohan


Try as it might, the Department of Homeland Security can’t get no respect on the floor of the House. In the parlance of Vietnam, it’s a “kill zone” for management.
Impatient with the agency’s decision process, lawmakers have grabbed power for themselves by earmarking 25 percent of new pre-disaster funds to speed along the grant process. But when the department dared this spring to beef up its management budget, the House turned around and cut 32 percent from President Barack Obama’s request, leaving major administrative offices with fewer dollars than they got last year.
Senate Democrats hope to restore the money in their version of the same $42.6 billion bill, which will be taken up Tuesday. But DHS is the poster child for an increasingly common phenomenon for Congress: cutting agency management budgets and then bellyaching that government isn’t being effectively managed.
The most famous case occurred two years ago, when the House magically cut more from DHS’s undersecretary for management than was in the pot to begin with. “It was as if we owed them money,” said one department official.
This summer’s debate might seem restrained by comparison. But unless funds are restored, the outcome will be devastating to a new administration trying to get its footing.
“This is a perennial problem,” Michael Chertoff, a former DHS secretary, told POLITICO. “Although management funding is critical to long-term efficiency, it is not glamorous and does not yield a good sound bite. All too often, Congress cuts this item and later complains about managerial shortcomings. Congress should assure that the department leadership has the funding it needs to lead.”
Indeed, “unifying and maturing DHS” was a major goal in Obama’s budget this year; it sought to accelerate efforts to consolidate 35 offices into a new headquarters and merge 24 legacy data centers into two. DHS has already come far from the early days, when it had a procurement staff of four and had to rely on other agencies to do its purchasing. But after a spate of critical inspector general reports, 2010 was to welcome a coming of age, so to speak, with a 53 percent increase in full-time positions in the procurement office.
Obama’s ambitions may have helped make DHS a target. The four chief management office budgets were up a whopping 40 percent in the president’s budget. The House Appropriations Committee took a first whack, trimming about $123 million. But things spun out of control on the floor after two amendments on the House floor and the final reduction of $287 million more than wipes out what the president wanted.
The White House is frustrated, and former officials such as Chertoff are willing to speak out. But to a surprising degree, the department itself is reluctant to say anything. Press secretary Sara Kuban insisted the House cuts were still too “hypothetical” to merit specific comment and stuck to generalities.
“DHS has 225,000 employees, and it’s important to have strong management that ensures the entire department is coordinating and is running effectively,” she said. “Secretary [Janet] Napolitano wants to ensure that the department is being run as effectively and efficiently as possible and that resources are being well-utilized and well-spent.”
Yet all this comes at a time when the House is also challenging DHS’s management by earmarking funds to help communities mitigate the threat of potential disasters.
The Senate, however famous for its pork appetites, has typically drawn the line here. Because senators represent entire states, picking which town gets flood or earthquake mitigation funds is political Russian roulette. If Town A is helped, and then disaster strikes its neighbor, how does a senator explain?
House members, with more confined districts, are less shy. And they have the blessing of one of the chamber’s more thoughtful members: Rep. David Price (D-N.C.), who oversees the annual spending bill.
Bad management is again the culprit by Price’s account. “I was frustrated by the department’s performance in this area,” he told POLITICO. “It didn’t appear they were doing a very systematic or well-reasoned approach. I couldn’t tell that it had much rhyme or reason to it. It was very slow in getting out the money. The money was getting clogged up. We set up a process where we could review things, give members a chance to propose things, and that’s how it started.”
Indeed. As many as 58 projects are listed in the 2010 report, commanding about a quarter of the $100 million provided. That compares with 52 projects this year, while in 2008 the number was as high as 95 and totaled near $51 million, or 45 percent, of the $114 million provided in that year’s account.
Some of the most conservative House Republicans, such as Texas Rep. John Culberson, a member of the Appropriations Committee, have been prominent in securing earmarked funds — in his case for the Houston area. “These are fiscally conservative, prudent requests,” Culberson said, defending the latest in a series of $1 million grants for Harris County. But his fellow Republican, Arizona Rep. Jeff Flake, said it would be far better to leave the risk analysis to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
“FEMA has asked if they could establish a more risk-based program where they could evaluate risk and allocate funding accordingly,” Flake said. But in the name of speed, the House is taking a quarter of the money off the top, of which he estimated 40 percent went to the districts of influential members in Congress.
“Unless we can determine,” Flake added with a smile, “that Mother Nature somehow finds those districts represented by appropriators and sends more flood, more earthquakes, more natural disasters somehow to those districts or to the districts of powerful people on powerful committees, then we have a spoils system.”

At this time, visitors can admire the scenery of rice fields stretching like a giant golden carpet. If you want to see the full beauty of the Vietnamese countryside and the rice fields, Ninh Binh is definitely not to be missed at this time.
It is advised that tourists visiting Ninh Binh’s ripe rice season should arrange to go in the beginning or middle of the week. Because at this time, the number of tourists here is not too large, we can enjoy taking the most sparkling and brilliant photos and the exploration space is also more perfect.
What month is the rice season in Ninh Binh?
The best time to visit Tam Coc – Bich Dong is the ripe rice season. Every year, from mid-May to the end of June, this place is surrounded by beautiful ripe rice fields that are golden in the sky. Visitors coming here will be able to fully see the brilliant space of new rice in the morning sun. It is the picturesque scenery that has made many people passionately forget the way home.

At this time, the number of tourists here is not too large. You can comfortably take the most shimmering and brilliant photos while the exploration space is also more perfect.
Top destination in the ripe rice season: Tam Coc – Bich Dong
It can be said that the most beautiful place in the ripe rice season in Ninh Binh is Tam Coc – Bich Dong, where there are vast stretches of rice fields interspersed with mountains. All create a charming scene suitable for tourists’ excursions. To get here to visit you will have to go a long way by the river winding around the ripe rice fields.
Looking down from above, you will feel like you are lost in the sea of rice fluttering in the proud yellow color. In the distance, there are figures of farmers harvesting rice with kind faces, next to small boats that are also full of rice, signaling a bountiful harvest.
Tam Coc is not as crowded as Trang An, so visitors can feel a more peaceful atmosphere
It seems that we will not be able to find that picture anywhere else. Ninh Binh’s ripe rice season is beautiful because it has both water, mountains, and the passionate scent of rice in the Northern Delta. That beauty is perfect, seductive, and hard to forget. Morning is the time when we can see the most beautiful golden color of Ninh Binh’s ripe rice season
Some interesting experiences in Tam Coc in Ninh Binh’s ripe rice season
Take a boat to see the water of the ancient capital
See the most beautiful Ninh Binh ripe rice season in Tam Coc – Bich Dong, which is known as the Nam Thien De first cave or Ha Long Bay on land. The time that most tourists choose is around May when we can both row a boat in Tam Coc while watching the scenery of golden rice fields when passing by.
Specifically, visitors can go to Van Lam wharf to buy ferry tickets for about 150,000 VND (free for children under 3 years old). Then we can explore Tam Coc Bich Dong along the journey down the Ngo Dong River. There is no need to set foot in hot places here, but watching the two rows of rice stretching on this calm water is enough to satisfy visitors. Remember to take advantage of these rustic and poetic images.
Perhaps most visitors will be surprised to know that Tam Coc is simply 3 caves: Ca cave, Hai cave and Ba cave. In particular, they are all created from the natural flow of the Ngo Dong River, which erodes the cliffs and forms caves. Ca Cave is up to 127m long, the mouth of the cave is wide, so if you go to visit Ninh Binh’s ripe rice season in May, you won’t be anxious at all, when you enter the cave, you will feel cool right away.
The 1km-long boat route to Hang Hai also runs along the river on both sides where ripe rice is harvested. This cave has a smaller area than Ca cave, but the scene is equally beautiful. Continuing downstream to Ba cave is also very unique, it can be said that Mother Nature has favored Ninh Binh with extremely rare limestone caves.
Going to Bich Dong – Linh Coc pagoda to see Ninh Binh’s ripe rice season
Going to see Ninh Binh’s ripe rice season, you can go to Bich Dong area, about 2km by boat from Tam Coc wharf. Bich Dong is also located in the middle of the mountain near Bich Dong pagoda, possessing a peaceful and airy landscape, in front of the Ngo Dong river branch surrounding the mountainside. We can far below is a golden ripe rice field like a giant carpet.
In addition, visitors can also visit Xuyen Thuy Dong and Bich Dong Pagoda in this area. Xuyen Thuy Cave is a curved semicircular cave with stone slabs of different shapes. Bich Dong Pagoda is an ancient pagoda expanded on three very sacred mountain slopes. Passing this temple about 1km, we will reach Tien Cave, inside there are stalactites hanging down of all colors, shaped like images of fairies, birds, apes…
Traveling to Ninh Binh in the ripe rice season and feeling the rustic and golden beauty from Tam Coc will definitely be an experience that you will never forget. So if you are looking for a place to hide, Ninh Binh is the most beautiful – cheap – attractive tourist destination.

Daughter of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, Lily-Rose Depp is a successful model in her own right.
She made headlines last year when she apparently came out through an Instagram post. The 16-year-old had participated in a photoshoot by The Self Evident Truths project, a “photographic record of 10k people in the US who are ANYWHERE on the LGBTQI spectrum.”
The media who took it as her coming out announcement misconstrued Lily-Rose’s appearance in the image.
“I was literally doing it just to say that you don’t have to label your sexuality; so many kids these days are not labeling their sexuality and I think that’s so cool,” She clarified in Nylon magazine.
“I guess it came off the wrong way because then everyone labeled me as gay,” she added. “That’s not what I was trying to say. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course! But I did that literally just to say you don’t have to label yourself, and then everyone was like, ‘Lily Rose Depp comes out as gay!'”
She continued to claim that her sexuality is, in fact, nobody’s business and that she would date whoever she so wished.
Her father was outspoken in his support of his daughter’s involvement in the shoot.
“She’s a sharp kid and one of the smartest human beings I have ever met,” he said.

Got up early this morning so I can sew the last pieces for Spinners, as my son is moving back into his room TODAY!
Only one more block to go. If you think the first block in the third row looks funny, you're right. The points don't want to align and I have no time to waste with this sort of shenanigans, so it's only partly joined.
I got all the blocks finished with only half an hour to go. I tagged them with a little piece of paper so I'll know which side is up. As I work on these, I realized that there are more stained pieces than I first thought. See this post
to read about this misadventure.
I believe I now have two options before me. Either I removed the blocks that aren't stained and add more blocks to make a decent size quilt, and with the stained blocks make a quilt for Raven OR sew them all together and give the quilt to Raven. Either way, this cat is getting a quilt. 😄
Once assembled, it will not be a very big quilt, more like a throw. I enjoyed making this one so you might see its twin at some point. For now, the blocks are back on the self.
While sewing the last small HSTs needed for these blocks, I managed to sew these.
I forgot that these blocks are made with whites only. Oh well! I guess I have sewn my label block this morning. 😋
Jericho Wall in green. It's not crooked, it is just the way I pinned it.
And then there are these!
I totally blame Cathy (Sane, Crazy, Crumby Quilts) for these. 😂😜 She made this great quilt (shown here)
and gave us the link to the tutorial. Well, what's a quilter's to do but get sewing. The worst part is that they are fun and quick to make too. I am so doomed! 😂😂 The more I want to finish UFOs the more I get into new projects. Why is that?
It is a long weekend here in Canada which is a good thing because I have so many greens to sew.

SimWorks ART COLLECTIVE
Design is a solution for a demand of our society, and Art is an individual expression.
SimWorks designs our own original products such as handle bars and stems. Those designs have a specific purpose to solve the problem so that we are able to explain the reason why it shapes like that and what the problem is into every single detail with a huge historical background such as political economy and our production system.
On the other hand, in our creation, there is something that we cannot explain by only solving the problems of our production and the society we live. We love to eat good food, listen to good music, dress up in fashionable clothing. This desire and passion have incalculable value which exist beyond our explanation.
Probably this is what’s called, “FUN”, altogether.
ART is one of the concepts we have. It is very much important to have the artists paint our new shop front door shutter and a huge bike rack mural, and also hanging their silk screen art works on our wall. It is something that beyond “looking better”.
Our life cannot be richer without art, just like a bicycle we ride and superb dishes we eat everyday. SimWorks asked two amazing artists to paint our new shop front door shutter and a mural bike rack. Now we have their hand printed silk screen posters on our wall. We simply want to start our life surrounded by art more and more.
Now, we are going to start a new SimWorks label called “SimWorks ART COLLECTIVE”. As a great starter, we would like to introduce Yoshi47 & Washio Tomoyuki, who resides our local area and also expand their name world widely. We are going to have the items we produced before including a new release of hand-printed silk screen poster here.
SimWorks ART COLLECTIVE Silk Screen Poster
“T.A.F.U.” by yoshi47 & “Lazy Parade” by Washio Tomoyuki. These new quality art work is silk screened at the amazing studio in Portland, OR. There are so many details that you are going to be in love with, such as the thickness of ink and a quality of color you cannot find any other cheap poster places.
50 pieces Limited Edition (U.S. 25 pieces only). Coming with serial number and artists’ signature on. The size is 18 x 24 inches (yoshi47) and 18 x 25 inches (Washio Tomoyuki). You are able to get a regular frame for Yoshi47’s poster, but you might need to find a custom frame for Washio’s one.

An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a diagnostic test that detects and record the electrical signals of the brain by using small metal discs called electrodes that are attached to your scalp. Brain cells communicate with each other through electrical impulses. An EEG can be used to help detect potential problems associated with this activity.
An EEG test can detect abnormalities in your brain waves, or the electrical activities of your brain. Small flat metal discs called electrodes are attached to the scalp with wires. The electrodes analyze the electrical impulses in the brain and send signals to a computer that records the results. The brain activity will show up on an EEG recording as wavy lines. It’s a snapshot in time of the electrical activity in your brain.
An electroencephalogram is used to detect problems in the electrical activity of the brain that may be associated with certain brain disorders. The measurements given by an EEG are used to confirm or rule out various conditions, including:
- Brain tumours
- Brain damage from a head injury
- Brain dysfunction from various causes (encephalopathy)
- Inflammation of the brain (encephalitis)
- Seizure disorders including epilepsy
- Sleep disorders
An EEG may also be used to determine if someone in a coma has died or to find the right level of anaesthesia for someone in a coma.

The Man Behind The Weather Channel
Given how often we turn to The Weather Channel to find out what to wear, when to wash our cars or whether we should be evacuating in the face of a hurricane, it's hard to believe there was a time when the idea seemed like a joke. But media mogul Frank Batten believed a 24-hour weather network could both save lives and make money. Host Frank Stasio talks with author Connie Sage about Batten's life and his achievements in a new book, "Frank Batten: The Untold Story of the Founder of the Weather Channel" (University of Virginia Press/2011).

On Saturday 5th December, I took a trip to Chessington World of Adventures for their Winter’s Tail event. With the UK currently in a tier system, I was fortunate to be able to travel up and experience what was going to be my final theme park fix of 2020. Considering this year has turned into a real topsy turvy year, I’m glad I’ve managed to get my theme park fix throughout the final 6 months of the year. Very grateful for that!
I’ve visited Chessington’s winter event over the last few years and it’s been the perfect excuse to get into the festive spirit. The park itself is adorned with Christmas decorations and lights, it’s a truly magical experience for everyone. Arriving around 1.30pm, it was obvious that I wanted to have a little peek of the construction of both Blue Barnacle and ‘Croc Drop’. There’s been plenty of changes over the last 4 weeks or so since I was last at the park for their Halloween season. You can check out the latest updates on Chessington Buzz and Theme Park Guide.
As I was wandering around the park, I have noticed a number of photo spots this year including the giant Nutcracker prince located at the entrance to Wild Asia. Perfect for Instagrammers wanting to get that shot for the ‘gram! There are a number of rides open throughout Winter’s Tail including Vampire, The Gruffalo River Ride Adventure, SeaStorm, ‘Jingle’ Bus and so much more. There’s a lot to keep families and enthusiasts entertained. It was a given that I would get a ride on Vampire at night – well, two rides as it was freezing cold!
I took a stroll into the Magical Christmas Kitchen, located in Wild Asia (former spots for Halloween scare mazes Spyders, Curse of the Lost Tomb & The Krypt). This was a really cute interactive walkthrough with several decorations. So many photo opportunities can be had within here. With the current COVID restrictions, you are required to wear a mask when inside this attraction as well as using the hand sanitisers when you first enter. Also, children will be able to claim a free cookie at the end of this walkthrough. Fear not adults as you can collect a hot drink and snack from Vegan Street Dogs outlet in Mexicana. The hot chocolate was perfect for warming up my cold fingers!
You can also walk through the Father Christmas Grottos and meet the main man himself. You may even bump into an array of Elves too. Once you’ve met Father Christmas/Santa, you’ll then receive a golden ticket which gives children the chance to pick out a toy, a reindeer or polar bear, within the Toy Workshop. A truly exciting opportunity for the kids to get into the Christmas spirit.
I also couldn’t forget the new ‘The Wild Christmas Panto’. A pantomime with a twist when you’ve got the Gruffalo involved. Located on the Mane Stage, it’s a great way to split up your day whilst you take in all the Christmas goodness around the park. The pantomime itself may not have been made for me but I couldn’t help but join in with all the actions and saying ‘Oh no it isn’t, oh yes it is!’ Alongside this, there are several areas where festive singers are around the park singing your favourite Christmas songs. Perfect way to build up the atmosphere around the park plus the singers were fantastic, highly talented cast this year!
All in all, it was a truly wonderful, festive day at Chessington World of Adventures. If you’re looking for a festive day out in the Surrey, then Chessington is the perfect place to go to.

By Addilyn Fay. Chaise Lounge Design. Published at Friday, May 04th, 2018 - 05:59:55 AM.
They are durable, relatively inexpensive, and are often molded to resemble more expensive and traditional materials like wood and concrete. Though more fragile, wicker is a popular choice but is not meant to be left completely outdoors and unprotected from the elements. Keeping your wicker chaise lounge beneath a covered porch or deck will keep it away from rain and too much direct sunlight. For inside the frame, cushion supports like the strap and the sling are often employed. These are strong and usually made from a waterproof nylon or plastic. As far as innovations, the zero gravity chair is built for maximum comfort and so its user can more fully relax without putting any extra pressure onto any part of the body, especially the seat.
There is nothing better than relaxing in the amazing summer sun on a lazy day. Having the perfect place out on your deck to relax can give you a nice way to refresh and recharge whenever your life seems to be getting way too hectic. During the summer months, relaxation can come in the form of an icy beverage while you relax in a beautiful teak chaise lounge on your deck. After all, isn't this the kind of stuff that you dream of when the idea of summer comes to mind?
Maybe one with wheels to follow the sun and a pull out tray for drinks and your novel is what you have been dreaming of. Or perhaps one with armrests is more your style. There are so many styles of teak chaise lounges available you are bound to find on that suits your fancy. Try one that is a mix of teak, steel and durable batyline fabric for a look right out of South Beach. Or outfit your deck or poolside with loungers that are the picture of modern Asian allure.
The patio chairs have found a number of applications these days. They are being excessively used as the pool lounge chairs as well as the pool chairs. These patio chairs can also be folded easily and are to carry around, therefore they are much preferred over the conventional lounge chairs which are considered comparatively redundant being not very portable. Moving them around becomes quite tedious sometimes. The chaise lounge chairs is also making its place in the market quite fast; their mattresses and bedding is considered one of the highest quality and are designed to be used indoors.

Toronto superstar The Weeknd is finally speaking out. New reports reveal that he will no longer let his label submit his music to the Grammy Awards because of “secret committees,” and the organization has since come forward to speak out.
The Weeknd Announces Grammy Boycott
The Weeknd announced his own boycott of the Grammys in a shocking New York Times reveal. The major move came in light of this weekend’s 63rd award ceremony, in which he wasn’t nominated for any awards, despite having one of the most acclaimed albums of this past year.
The Grammys has since responded to Weeknd and addressed his headline-generating comments.
Grammys chief honcho Harvey Mason Jr. is responding to The Weeknd’s boycott saying the Grammys is disappointed when anyone is upset. He also said, in a statement to The New York Times, the Grammys is constantly evolving and it’s “going to take a hard look at how to improve our awards process, including the nomination review committees.” (TMZ)
The Weeknd’s Streams Increase
The pop star did much more than put on a memorable Super Bowl LV halftime performance at last month’s Tampa Bay event. The award-winning crooner’s streams surged nearly 50 percent following the nationally televised broadcast. According to reports, Weeknd’s songs saw a 41% increase in the United States following the performance. The statistics stemmed from reports to MRC Data.
His collected songs across his entire catalog generated 48.9 million on-demand streams (audio and video) on Feb. 7-8 – up 42% compared to the 34.5 million they tallied on Feb. 5-6. His most-streamed song on Feb. 7-8 was his long-running Billboard Hot 100 hit “Blinding Lights” (6.54 million; up 42%), which also served as his halftime-closer. (Billboard)
The Weeknd saw a massive increase in streams.
2 Chainz + Drake Celebrate The Halftime Show
Rap superstars 2 Chainz and Drake made sure to hop online to show love to The Weeknd following his epic performance set. The 6 God even shared footage of himself watching the set.
“Playlist for tonight”
The Weeknd Super Bowl Halftime Greatness
For nearly 20 minutes, The Weeknd came through with hits everyone could remember. From his most recent singles to classics he started his career out with in the early 2010s, the Toronto crooner held every generation down.
He opened with “Starboy” and “The Hills.” When he did “Can’t Feel My Face,” he went into a tight mirrored corridor accompanied by a bunch of people with their faces bandaged up. He reemerged for “I Feel It Coming” and “Save Your Tears.” A string section joined him for “Earned It.” The Weeknd and his dancers hit the field for “House of Balloons” (yes—a Siouxsie and the Banshees sample played at the Super Bowl) and then a massive performance of “Blinding Lights.” (Pitchfork)
The Weeknd killed his performance.

The girls were lined up coloring at the counter, Jacob was happily scampering about, and I was busily finishing up dinner. With a subtle creak the front door opened and a flurry of feet hit the floor at the jangle of keys.
“Daddy’s home!” came the chorus from the girls as they pounced upon him from all sides.
“Papa! Papa!” came Jacob’s little voice with his legs carrying him in the fastest duck waddle he could possibly go, arms outstretched. “Uh! Uh!” He cried forcing himself on tippy toes until Paul swung him into a warm embrace.
Things settled down and the girls returned to coloring and Jacob continued to scamper about. Paul came into the kitchen and gave me a big hug and kiss, encouraged by the shreiks of, “eeewww” from the girls. Jacob has even learned that word now. heh.
Suddenly, there was a little person squeezing between our legs, “Ug! Ug!”
We looked down and there was Jacob, arms upstretched. “Ug! Ug!” he said again. Paul crouched down, trying to figure out what he was saying and Jacob catapulted into him wrapping his little arms around his neck. “Ug!” he said, kissed Paul on the cheek and took off. We chuckled as we realized he had been calling for a hug.
Then, I had an idea. I whispered something in Paul’s ear and we followed Jacob into the family room to try out my theory. Paul gave me another hug and kiss, and suddenly Jacob appeared squeezing between us, “Ug! Ug!” We tested the theory a few times, greeted with more “ew”s fromt he girls and every time there was our little Jacob, “Ug! Ug!”ing away. Giving us both hugs and kisses and going on his merry way.
It made me smile, he’s as bad as our dog Susies when it come to attention. heh 🙂
By the way, Jacob sends you all an “Ug! Ug!”


Rumored Buzz on wheel alignment near me
When I was lately cleansing-lubing the drivetrain, one of them was wheels-up And that i did the customary pedal-spin the rear wheel and when it the wheel slows all the way down to a near stop, it reverses way for a small fraction of the rotation, then stops.
Don’t make highly-priced colour blunders. Get Maria’s pro colour information with our convenient eDesign colour consultations.
hrowing a chain with a freewheel bike isn't any large deal, but it surely can be extremely dangerous on with a fixed equipment. If the chain will come off on the chainwheel, it might get hung up and even loop round the rear sprocket, and might cause the wheel to lock up. If this comes about while you're leaned more than inside a transform, you will Practically definitely crash.
Because you tend to be more solidly connected to the bike, you may have far better Charge of it in bumpy disorders or in hard corners.
"I just replaced my steering linkage from the front of my Sonoma, and used a string line and tape evaluate to align my wheels."..." a lot more VD Victorino Daroy
So do an intensive auto Examine and when your vehicle commences vibrating, shaking, offering hassle around the road like pulling about, then consider car or truck or car servicing Heart nearby or tire alignment near me providers.
Furthermore, observe bikes have very restricted tire clearance, considering that there's no reason to utilize any even so the narrowest tires within the observe. This could certainly Restrict your alternatives for on-street use.
You’re appropriate, in genuine point it starts off pink and goes pinker and a lot more purple. . . I will alter that! Good eye thanks a lot! Someone else outlined the undertones must be more substantial as well as the whites Home Page lesser so I will probably be altering that also!
This is certainly to repair any insignificant difficulties or wheel’s alignment difficulties that still persist. This helps to know if the issue is repetitive or your vehicle might have some thing even larger, like a tire substitution or so. So in that scenario or another circumstance where by the situation is a large situation, then services will apparently Price much greater than a median alignment Charge.
It can be a good idea to check out your vehicle's handbook and/or at some photographs online to get a perception of what tie rod finishes appear like and where particularly they can be found with your distinct vehicle.
So will not cross your fingers and watch for me to point out up from the distant foreseeable future. If I’m near a city near you this Fall and all you need to do is e book a resort area, or get a brief flight, now could be enough time. A lot better than before in which you experienced to return the many strategy to Canada.
Because sliding friction is fewer than sticking friction, once the tire starts to skid, you may frequently have the opportunity to keep up the skid until you've stopped or at the least slowed down about you want to. You will need to really need to get it done, You cannot be tentative! It can be easier when you're going more rapidly.
Excellent thought Maria and congrats! Hope you provide a zillion of them … ☺. Having said that; do agree with having the Neutral Undertone part a tad larger sized also will increase on my observe the orange seems to get extra of a Tertiary colour (yellow orange, rather then a secondary one) and perhaps the script for that gold beige should also be in black.
"The actual fact that there's a how-to video clip to accompany the written section of those Guidance is a very fantastic Device which has helped me to find out all of my alignment difficulties. I am definitely grateful that this is obtainable for me to utilize!"..." more MS Meg Soldner
