After Brexit brought its fair share of changes for online sellers at the beginning of the year, the most impactful VAT regulations change for ecommerce is yet to come. Long anticipated, the One Stop Shop EU VAT return is part of the EU July 2021 ecommerce VAT package and its launch will bring the introduction of the single EU VAT return, together with the withdrawal of the distance selling thresholds.
Dominik LarcherLast Updated on 24 June 2021
Currently, the Mini One Stop Shop (MOSS) is an electronic system allowing service providers supplying telecommunications, broadcasting and electronic (TBE) services to consumers in the EU to declare and pay VAT due in all EU Member States in one single Member State.
From 1st July 2021, the MOSS scheme will be extended to all business-to-consumer (B2C) services taking place in EU Member States where the supplier is not established (storing goods). This new One Stop Shop (OSS) will apply also to all distance sales of goods within the EU and to certain domestic supplies of goods facilitated by electronic interfaces under certain conditions. What is more, another new scheme will be created for the declaration and payment of VAT on distance sales of low value goods imported from outside of the EU, called the Import One Stop Shop (IOSS).
What are the key benefits of OSS?
We are told that the OSS is designed to simplify the European VAT return filing system for businesses, and indeed on the long term that most likely would be the case. In the short term though, while the tax offices are setting up the registration process and businesses are getting registered and learning about the new laws, it may feel a little bit more complicated for you.
These are the main benefits of OSS:
- One way it would simplify things for you in the future would be by eliminating the need for VAT registration in EU countries you sell, but do NOT store goods in.
- Different countries distance thresholds will be replaced by one EU-wide of 10,000 euro.
- Another simplification is being able to file one OSS return that covers all of your EU VAT cross-border obligation for B2C sales. So this is regarding cross-border, business to consumer only – you will still need to file your normal VAT return, on your home country, or for countries where you store goods.
- The OSS file VAT return to your home country, in case of EU sellers – or nominated country, in case of Non-EU sellers – will be processed by the country home office and money due to other EU countries (remember, just for cross border B2C sales) will be sent to them by the tax office.
For example, companies storing goods in their home country and selling into 5-6 other EU countries without storage there, will now only have to submit one home VAT return and one OSS VAT return per period. A payment for each return will be required.
How to register for OSS?
The registration process is quite simple, but please be aware that as per now, the OSS is not yet launched. Not all of the European tax offices have put in place their registration systems yet, so we cannot offer full details on the process or documents required, but we’ll get back in the future with more on this topic. You have plenty of time to register in OSS and it can be done up until the end of June 2021.
If you wish to move to OSS reporting from the 1st of July, we can help with the registration process for the following countries. Italy, France, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Sweden and Ireland.
What is not included in OSS?
There is a series of transactions that are not included in OSS and need separate reporting, such as:
- B2b sales (business to business transactions) are NOT included in OSS;
- Domestic sales (DOMV), meaning sales to clients in the same country as the warehouse is located and from where products are sent. So for example, if you are storing goods in Italy and you are shipping them to an Italian end consumer, then you would need to report that by a standard VAT return to the Italian VAT office and, of course, you would need to be registered for VAT in Italy.
- Purchases, imports and expenses are also NOT reported in OSS.
What are the changes for online sellers based in the EU?
One of the biggest changes brought by OSS is that the old distance sales thresholds will be abolished. Only EU companies with single country storage will still have a single EU-wide 10,000 euro distance sale threshold limit applicable. This means that if you register to OSS from 1st July 2021 you will not have to register for a VAT number in the countries you ship to, but do not store in.
EU companies storing goods in several EU countries still need to register for a VAT number for each country where storage takes place, so as before, storage is still a reason to register and file for VAT in an EU country.
Domestic sales are NOT reported via OSS. These will still be reported separately via a standard VAT return to all countries applicable. As in our example above, if a company is storing goods in Italy and ships them to an Italian end consumer, then it still needs to report that by a standard VAT return to the Italian VAT office.
Imports, Purchases and Business to Business (B2B) sales are NOT included in the new OSS filing and need to be reported via the standard VAT return method.
To bring more clarity on these changes, let’s look at two common scenarios for EU based companies and how OSS registration will impact their reporting:
Example 1 – Alpha Services only stores in DE
Alpha Services is a German based company that sells online to consumers from France, Italy and Spain, but only stores in Germany. Because of this, a home VAT number is in place for Germany. Goods are not stored in France, Italy or Spain, so under OSS no VAT registration is required in these countries.
Let’s now look how VAT is assigned for Alpha Services in this business model:
- German VAT will be paid via a normal return in the usual way;
- VAT for sales to France, Italy and Spain will be paid to Germany via the normal VAT return, up to the crossing of the new 10,000 euro EU distance selling threshold;
- After crossing the new distance selling threshold of 10,000 euro, VAT in France, Italy and Spain will be paid to the German tax authorities office via an OSS return;
- Sales for Italy, France and Spain will be calculated at the local VAT rate for each country.
Example 2 – Beta Products stores in 4 EU countries
Beta Products is a German based company that also sells online to France, Italy and Spain. It does not only store goods in Germany, but also in the other 3 countries where it is selling. This means VAT registration is required in all 4 countries.
Let’s now look at the way VAT will be filed and by what means:
- German VAT (for transactions from Germany to Germany) is paid via a normal VAT return, the usual way. Same happens for France, Italy and Spain.
- VAT on B2C sales for which products are sent from one country to another from Germany, France, Italy and Spain, are paid to Germany via OSS return filing;
- Sales for Italy, France and Spain are calculated at the local VAT rate for each country.
What are the changes for non-EU online sellers?
As in case of EU online sellers, distance sales thresholds will no longer apply to individual countries.
NON EU home companies without a business base in Europe (warehouse or marketplace facilitator like Amazon or eBay) directly selling from outside of the EU to end customers within the EU (EU delivery) will still be classed as exporting to the EU. End customers receiving these orders will be charged customs duties and taxes on their purchases.
If you store goods in several EU countries then you will still need to register for a VAT number for each country where storage takes place. Domestic sales are NOT reported via OSS. These will still be reported separately via a standard VAT return to all countries applicable, like for example when an Italian warehouse ships product to an Italian end consumer address, this is treated and reported like a Domestic B2C transaction.
Imports, Purchases and Business to Business sales are NOT included in the new OSS filing and need to be reported via the standard VAT return method.
In case of Non EU online sellers, we can identify two cases: first would be the situation in which they are selling through a deemed supplier and the second is the situation in which they are selling directly, without a deemed supplier.
How to know if you are selling through a deemed supplier?
To qualify as a “deemed supplier” a marketplace or another similar platform you are using should check one statement from column A and two statements from column B.
|Terms and conditions of the sale||Payment processing|
|Authorization of the charge to the customer for the supply||Listing or advertising the goods|
|Ordering or delivering the goods||Redirecting customers to other marketplaces where the goods are offered without any other involvement in the sales|
Let’s now analyze a few common situations for Non-EU sellers and see how their VAT will be reported in the context of the OSS changes.
Example 1 – Delta Limited: Non EU company which is selling on Amazon UK
Delta Limited, non-EU company is selling on Amazon UK and they have customers in Italy, France and Spain. Amazon is a deemed supplier for the company – for example, customers from Italy will place orders on Amazon UK and the goods would ship from the UK to the end consumer in Italy.
Because goods are stored in the UK, Delta Limited needs a VAT number in the UK. Their home sales will be payable in the UK, reported by a standard VAT return. Regarding the sales shipped from Amazon UK to Italy, France or Spain, there are the following steps to be taken:
- Amazon will in effect purchase the product ordered by the end consumer from Delta Ltd at the point of sale. (destination country VAT applied);
- Amazon will report VAT deducted at point of sale to the tax authority;
- Amazon will issue an invoice to the end consumer.
Example 2 – Zeta Limited: UK company which sells on Amazon UK + storing in France, Italy and Spain
Zeta Limited is a UK company selling on Amazon UK. They are also storing goods with Amazon in France, Italy and Spain. Because they are storing goods in all 4 countries now, they will need VAT numbers in all these countries. They have no direct sales between the UK and the EU. They are actually exporting from the UK to France 70,000 euro of products per annum, and from France it is distributed by Amazon into warehouses in Italy, Spain and France.
The import VAT in France can be reclaimed on a standard French VAT return. Let’s see now where the VAT will be applied:
- Amazon will in effect purchase the products ordered by the end consumer from Zeta Ltd at the point of sale, similar to our previous example where there was no storage in the EU;
- Amazon will report VAT deducted at the point of sale to the tax authority;
- An invoice documenting the transfer of goods from Zeta Ltd to Amazon will need to be created for every sales transaction;
- Domestic and cross-border B2b (business to business) sales will be reported as normal at the dispatch country.
Example 3 – Non-EU seller which is selling directly, without a deemed supplier
Now let’s see an example of a Non-EU seller which is selling directly, without a deemed supplier. Gamma Ltd is a UK bases, non-EU company selling in Italy, France and Spain through their website only. Gamma Ltd is storing goods in UK so they need a VAT registration there. They are not storing goods in Italy, France or Spain, so when they’re receiving an order from these countries they are shipping the goods from the UK to the EU.
Home sales VAT is payable in the UK, through a standard VAT return, as normal. All products sold into Italy, France and Spain from outside of the EU is classed as an export and the end consumer is importing the product and they are liable for any customs duties.
Example 4 – Epison Ltd: Non EU Seller which sells directly trough his online shop (without a deemed supplier) + stores goods in France (besides it’s home country UK)
Epsilon Ltd is another example of a Non- EU seller selling directly through its website, without a deemed supplier, only that this time this company is also storing goods in France, besides its home country – the UK. VAT numbers are required for both countries where goods are stored, France and the UK. They also sell in Italy and Spain, but since there is no storage there, no VAT registration is required for these countries.
Epsilon has decided to export from the UK to France 70,000 euro of products per annum, in order to service the orders from the French, Italian and Spanish markets. They can reclaim the import VAT on their French VAT return.
Let’s see now where the VAT will be applied:
- France is the nominated/registered country for OSS filed VAT for Italy, Spain and France cross border B2C sales.
- French VAT return for domestic sales (DOMV) is filed and paid separately;
- All sales reported via OSS have destination country VAT rate applied.
Example 5 – Zeta Ltd: Non EU Seller stores goods in 4 EU countries
Zeta Ltd is our last example for the Non-EU sellers selling directly, with no deemed supplier. They are selling in France, Italy and Spain. In this scenario, the seller is storing goods in all 4 countries, therefore VAT registration every one of these.
Similar to the previous example, Epsilon has decided to export from the UK to France 70,000 euro of products per annum, in order to service the orders from the French, Italian and Spanish markets. They can reclaim the import VAT on their French VAT return.
So how the VAT allocation will be done in this case?
- Domestic sales (DOMV) are filed and paid as normal via a tax return to each country tax office (for example, IT to IT or ES to ES);
- Cross border B2C sales (for example FR to It or FR to ES) are paid via OSS return at the French tax office;
- All sales reported via OSS have destination country VAT rate applied to them.

Strategies for Managing Anxiety
Metacognitive therapy (a form of CBT) tackles the clients ‘positive beliefs about worrying’ (“I think worrying is a useful thing to do!”), as well as their ‘negative beliefs about worrying’ (“I am afraid that I can’t control it… What’s going to happen to me if I can’t?... What if I have a nervous breakdown?!”). It is recommended that those (very frightening) negative beliefs are fully dealt with first, moving the client to a better understanding of their anxiety and its manageability. This part of therapy may be challenging, and may take some time, but will be well worth the effort!
Having done this, the therapist next explores, with the client, their previous attempts at controlling their worry/anxiety. Distraction is a favourite! On the surface, distraction seems like a good strategy and, to a degree, it does work. Perhaps the greatest issue with distraction, as a strategy for managing anxiety, is when it comes from a place of fear. If one is fearful of their anxiety, and fearful of not being able to control their thinking, then attempts to ‘Suppress’, ‘Block’, or ‘Distract’ from those thoughts/emotions, will be of little real benefit – and may even reinforce their sense of danger.
The term ‘Re-Focusing’ can be useful here, to help the client modify this coping strategy into one that will be more beneficial. Re-Focusing, like Distracting, is about deliberately choosing to not engage with one’s distressing thoughts/emotions. Unlike Distracting, though, the client is encouraged to; first acknowledge their worrying and/or anxiety, accept it as manageable, and only then, deliberately ‘ignore and re-focus’.
“The antithesis of controlling worries, or using hypervigilant threat monitoring, and trying to reason with worry, is passive ‘letting go’ of the activity.”
Taking the time to generate a comprehensive list of ‘Re-Focus Activities’, with the client, can help to reinforce this helpful strategy. It might also help to group the activities into the following categories;
For many clients who struggle with anxiety, the night-time can be very difficult (mostly because they have no distractions!). ‘Mental Re-Focus Activities’ can be of some assistance here;

Popcorn Plant Worker Illness Resulted From Butter Flavoring. A 36-year-old former popcorn plant worker, who believed his respiratory illness resulted from a chemical used to make butter flavoring, sued his former employer. After a trial, the jury agreed and awarded $2.7 million dollars.
Kenneth Moenning is one of 30 former and current workers at Jasper Popcorn Co., who have sued International Flavors and Fragrances Inc., and subsidiary of Bush Boake Allen Inc.
The plaintiffs claim the company knew that it was using chemicals that cause lung cancer to synthesize butter flavor and did not warn workers.
Moenning worked in the plant’s flavoring room from 1993-1996 and experts testified that his lung disease resulted directly from exposure to diacetyl and other chemicals used to make butter flavor.
Bronchiolitis Obliterans A Rare Lung Disease
Moenning has bronchiolitis obliterans a rapidly progressing rare lung disease that doctors testified would require a transplant.
Defense attorneys stated that management was unaware of the danger the chemicals posed to employees. “Someone is trying to blame the defendants for something no one knew or could have known,” said Mike Patton, the attorney for International Flavors and Fragrances, in his closing arguments.
The jury deliberated for seven hours. When it returned its verdict on Tuesday in Jasper County Circuit Court, nine jurors (the minimum necessary) supported a $2.69 million award to Moenning and 50, 000 for his wife. Moenning had asked for $20 million, plus $5 million for his wife for emotional suffering.
While health officials claim microwave popcorn is safe, they admit that the chemicals released during popping require additional study. If pre-packaged, fake flavored foods tastes too good to be true, the recent verdict suggests they probably are.

Anthony & Ashley | Springfield Manor Winery Wedding
I can’t begin to tell you how excited I was when Emily, of Emily Chastain Photography, invited me to photograph Anthony and Ashley’s beautiful Springfield Manor Winery wedding in Thurmont, Maryland. I had never photographed at the Springfield Manor, and let me tell you, I just loved everything about this venue!
To top off the awesome, Anthony and Ashley were just the sweetest couple- which made for a fantastically wonderful day. While Emily was with the girls, I was with Anthony and his guys.
Springfield Manor Winery Wedding
Ashley & Anthony had the sweetest non-first look! Often, during weddings, you’ll see a field of tall grass and think “It would be perfect to take the couple out there”, but that almost never happens- you know… with the dress and the bugs and such. Ashely is SO awesome though, that she was the one to ask if we could go out and have her sit in the grass. Yes, please! As we were walking back to cocktail hour, I love that Ashely and Anthony took the time to just stop and take it all in! Every detail was perfect
I’m so glad that Emily invited me to come and share in Ashley & Anthony’s beautiful wedding at the Springfield Manor Winery. It was such a great day and I wish these two a lifetime of happiness!

I’d never read anything by Nancy Springer before and I’d been dithering about getting this book for the longest time.
‘From the start, Mordred’s life is not his own. The great wizard Merlin has prophesied that King Arthur – the one True King – will die at his only son’s hands, and everyone in Camelot knows it. Mordred himself knows it. All he wants is for his father to love him. All he wants is a way to fight his fate. And fight he does – to his father’s fated death and his own.’
I love Arthurian tales, but wasn’t sure I’d like a tale that featured one of literature’s most recognisable archvillains as the main character. Turns out I like the story – no, I love it. Very much.
About her story, Nancy Springer has this to say:
“Are all children born innocent? Not according to the medieval worldview. A child born wrongfully – out of wedlock, for instance – could be assumed to be bad right from the start. When young King Arthur, then, made the mistake of having sex with his sister, the resulting child was assumed to be morally evil… Mordred was born guilty, condemned as his father’s killer long before the deed was done. It was fascinating to approach the traditional Arthurian material from the modern point of view that Mordred was born innocent…”
Except for the prologue, Mordred’s is the voice that takes us through the story, and he proves to be quite the charming guide; there is nothing sneaky or crafty about him. His innocence, his confusion and growing turmoil are realistically depicted, just what you would expect from a teenager trying to find his place in the world.
Another character who Springer presented as more complex, more complete was Nyneve, or Nimue, as she’s more commonly known. The Nyneve that I’ve come across in other Arthurian tales never appealed to me, but I fell in love with Springer’s version.
For those who know the stories of Arthur and his knights, of Camelot, will recognise the familiar points, which are all present. Springer has taken those points and used them to enhance her telling of the tale, making them flow into what could pass as a true-life version of events.
She has a graceful, easy style, which evokes a bygone age while still using every day, familiar language.
“The wind blew cold off the sword-gray sea…”
“It was a strange, exalted and terrible thing to be the King. Everything he did sent out echoes like a great bell.”
“Across a rising sweep of green meadow, there it stood, the flower of castles, tower above tower above outer wall and inner wall and barbican and bastions and keep, as mighty as if it had grown out of the bones of earth, as if the stone giants had raised it there, but – shining white. Not stony gray but white, like cloud froth, sea spray. Camelot aspired so mighty yet so water-lily white in the morning sunlight…”
Although the book is marketed for a young crowd, the subject matter could be considered adult. Springer doesn’t shy away from talking of violent, bloody acts but there are no gratuitous details. And it’s a story that makes you think, talking as it does about questioning your fate, fighting your fate.
I’m aware this isn’t a long, detailed review, but I feel to say more would be to give too much away.
I found this a beautiful story, masterfully told in just over 180 pages. Springer has woven a tale that, for me, has become the definitive version of Mordred. The ending made me cry, and it’s not just because I knew how it had to end.
A very well-deserved 5* from one very satisfied reader.

Happy Fall, dear readers! May your pumpkin be spiced just the way you like it!
I'm here to talk about my favourite subject and my favourite food: honey. Now, as a bee, i get it — honey is delicious. We bees can't get enough of it. Literally. And you probably know that humans are crazy about honey too. So of course that means it's big business: last year, north american humans consumed a staggering 540 million pounds of honey, making it a multi-billion dollar industry. All good, right? Well, no. You see, every spoonful of honey a human eats is food taken right off a bee's plate. But most people don't even think of honey as bee food. And that's thanks to a few stubborn myths about bees, honey, beekeeping, and the honey industry. Let's take a walk through some of them.
Myth #1: Bees make excess honey just for us. If we don’t remove it, they'll suffer
This may shock you, but bees are not business people. They don't gather around spreadsheets and do projections or think about what a good market price for their honey might be this year. They don't have a concept like "enough" or "too much". They just keep foraging until they can't find any more flowers and they eat nectar and pollen and make honey and they store it up for the winter they know in their bones (it's a metaphor, ok?) is coming.
When winter does come, that store of honey is the only food the colony has to draw on until springtime, and they need it to stay alive. On top of that, bees in a colony shiver to stay warm in cold weather. All that shivering makes a bee hungry, and we can't just go out to eat when all the flowers are gone. So we rely on what we've stored up. When we come up short, that's a catastrophe and bees will often starve to death under these conditions.
Making too much honey for the colony is never a problem. All it means is that we start the new year with some food in the bank. Nothing is wasted, and we bees have evolved to know what to do: if we build up more honey than the colony needs, we just split the hive and make a separate colony when it feels right. This is a good thing.
When beekeepers take honey from a hive (they call it "harvesting"), this is stressful. Imagine a giant lifting the roof off your house and taking most of the food out of your freezer. (And remember, all the grocery stores in your world are closing for the winter soon.) Maybe the giant has a kind heart and replaces all that food with a big jar of jelly beans. I'm trying to give you an idea of what it's like when a beekeeper removes most of a colony's winter honey store and replaces it with candy, corn syrup, or sugar water. Which brings me to my next myth.
Myth #2: Bees get adequate nutrition from sugar substitutes don’t they?
Well. Would you expect to be at your best eating more candy bars than any other food - even for a single month? We're talking about the difference between a nutrient-rich diet and a steady stream of junk food. In a nutshell, honey really is for bees. It's designed by evolution to be our best possible food. It helps young bees to grow up strong, and it keeps all bees healthy.
Of course, since the 1970's, it's been a common practice for beekeepers to give bees sugary replacements like High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) in exchange for the honey they take. For a time, bees seemed to survive just fine. Business as usual. Then, around 2006, bee colonies started dying off. Because it looked like a mystery to people who were used to the way things were, they called this global problem "Bee Colony Collapse Disorder." Maybe you've read about it on human social media.
Since that time, though, more and stronger pesticides have come into use. Bees made to eat HFCS or other cheap substitutes can't maintain a strong immune system, making them more vulnerable to the effects of these modern pesticides. Some really smart humans have even found that honey contains a vital enzyme (called p-coumaric acid, for you sciencey folks) that turns on a bee's immune response, so that they are better equipped to fight off the toxins they're exposed to.
Without our honey, bees are finding it harder and harder to survive when our food sources have been sprayed with an ever-growing list of toxic chemicals. A honey diet just might give us a leg to stand on.
Myth #3: Honey has has unique health benefits humans can’t get anywhere else.
Being a bee, I can't help but be a honey fan. I'll admit that raw honey contains vitamins and enzymes and has other fine qualities, and the ancient traditions of beekeeping have lent honey an almost magical quality for its storied healing properties. The fact is, everything that makes honey attractive to health-conscious humans makes it essential to the health of us bees.
The good news is that everything humans could hope to get from the best honey they could ever buy is easily found in other foods - leaving more honey in the hive for bees to eat. The Big 4 - garlic, ginger, cinnamon, and turmeric - along with fermented foods like sauerkraut, are well known for being antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, or probiotic powerhouses.
Myth #4: Urban and rooftop hives are good for bees and pollinator populations.
Take it from me: my bee friends and I love all the humans trying to help us out. Your hearts are in the right place. You might be thinking: "If I keep some bees, I can really take care of them. This will make up a little for the bees that are dying. And I really want to do something!"
Sorry if I sound a little irritable, but nobody I know wants to be put in a padded envelope and shipped hundreds of miles from home to be part of a starter pack for an amateur beekeeper on some urban rooftop.
It's all about geography. As the number of urban hives grows in an area, the number of (mainly) honeybees grows. But the food supply in that same area very likely won't keep pace. This is a big problem for the native pollinators in that area, who now have more and more competition for a limited food supply.
So, rather than solving a problem - bees populations are struggling - urban hives are creating one.
If you really want to help, plant a bed full of bee-friendly flowers instead. This will increase the local food supply without adding more competition into the mix. The local bees will thank you. Hugs from me too.
Bottom line: We all want to feel good about our choices. And myths like these help humans feel good about choosing honey as a food. But us bees are literally dying for the lack of our honey. It's our vital, life-giving food. It helps our brood grow into strong, healthy bees. It sustains us over cold winters. Without it we don't stand a chance. And without us, your days are numbered too.
Let's find a balance both of us can live with.

This is the kind of place that hosts a massive bottle share in cooperation with Ratebeer, puts on tap an IPA challenge, and serves various Speedway Stout casks, for your enjoyment. There’s also very serious talent in the brewhouse. If only this place existed in Boulder and not Long Beach.

Absolutely fantastic place. Worth the hype. Food is great - really delicious. But the beer was even better. Everything was very good to great. They do samplers of all their things, and gave be tasters of several of their guest taps. Several of the brewers were at the bar next to me and we had a great conversation about beer. All around it was a wonderful experience, and did I say, the beer was fantastic? Great place, absolutely worth the visit.

Bad place for GPS. Spent a couple hours in LA traffic going the wrong direction and circling a nonexistent location. Just target the center of Long Beach and follow street numbers. Cool place with a nice patio. Very fruity tasty lamb burger. Tasty beers and good service. Told the waitress I did not fight with the GPS for two hours to drink the guest tap but it looked good for regulars.

Sat outside on a cool evening (but a cool 60 degrees in SD beats the 20 degrees back home). Decent amount on tap with average to above average beers. A few bottles of their own available. I thought the pulled pork was good - and their home made chips was great!

(Visited 11/2014): Beachwood’s Long Beach location is on East 3rd off Long Beach Blvd. Street parking is available in the surrounding blocks.
Outside is a patio surrounded by foliage. Inside, the brewpub opens to a seating area on the left and the wooden bar on the right. Hanging globe lights above the bar, and green-tinted placards with the available beers along with a single TV.
Beachwood has over 30 beers on tap, including around 10 of their own. On my visit this included El Verano Saison, Glenlongbeach Scottish, Alpha Galactic APA, Citraholic, Denver Jackhammer and Oatmonster. Sampler flights are available, and the beers I tried were all solid. Guest taps from the likes of Russian River, Bruery and Bear Republic among others. Several dozen bottles from breweries like Firestone Walker, Logsdon, Lost Abbey and FiftyFifty long with lots of imports. A couple Beachwood bottled beers like Citraholic and Sadie available as well.
Service on a Sunday evening at the bar was good. The bartenders were knowledgeable about the beers and attentive throughout the visit.
We did not have any food on the visit.
Overall this is a great brewpub situated on the boardwalk in Long Beach.

BACKGROUND: Severe events during the perinatal period can be experienced as traumatic by pregnant women, their partners or others who are closely involved. This includes maternity care providers who can be affected by being involved in or observing these events. This may have an impact on their personal well-being and professional practice, influencing quality of care. The aim of this study is to map research investigating the impact of severe events during the perinatal period on maternity care providers, and how these experiences affect their well-being and professional practice.
METHOD: A scoping review following the manual of the Joanna Briggs Institute was undertaken. The electronic bibliographic databases included PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, SocINDEX, Cochrane, Scopus, Web of Science and databases for grey literature. Records passing the two-stage screening process were assessed, and their reference lists hand searched. We included primary research papers that presented data from maternity care professionals on the impact of severe perinatal traumatic events. A descriptive content analysis and synthesis was undertaken.
RESULTS: Following a detailed systematic search and screening of 1,611 records, 57 papers were included in the scoping review. Results of the analysis identified four categories, which highlighted the impact of traumatic perinatal events on maternity care providers, mainly midwives, obstetricians and nurses: Traumatic events, Impact of traumatic events on care providers, Changes in care providers' practice and Support for care providers; each including several subcategories.
CONCLUSION: The impact of traumatic perinatal events on maternity care providers ranged from severe negative responses where care providers moved position or resigned from their employment in maternity care, to responses where they felt they became a better clinician. However, a substantial number appeared to be negatively affected by traumatic events without getting adequate support. Given the shortage of maternity staff and the importance of a sustainable workforce for effective maternity care, the impact of traumatic perinatal events requires serious consideration in maintaining their wellbeing and positive engagement when conducting their profession. Future research should explore which maternity care providers are mostly at risk for the impact of traumatic events and which interventions can contribute to prevention.

New Delhi: The European Union has announced an initial funding of 500,000 euro for cyclone Amphan-affected people in India.
Cyclone Amphan has left 80 people dead and thousands homeless in West Bengal, battering several parts of the state. It also wreaked havoc in Odisha damaging power and telecom infrastructure in several coastal districts.
“The EU will address immediate needs of people affected by the cyclone, as well as protect humanitarian aid and health workers from their exposure to the epidemic,” EU Commissioner for Crisis Management Janez Lenarcic said in a statement.
The EU is determined to start helping people in need with no further delay and provides an initial funding of 500,000 euro for India and 1,100,000 euro to support the immediate response in Bangladesh, the statement said.
“My thoughts are with the brave people who have been affected by tropical cyclone Amphan and especially those who have lost their loved ones. I am saddened to learn about fatalities in both India and Bangladesh, and the extent of destruction caused by strong winds, flooding and landslides, also damaging houses, infrastructure and livelihoods,” Lenarcic said.
“We can only imagine the dire state our Indian and Bangladeshi friends are currently in. This storm hits at a time when social distancing remains essential to prevent a further spread of the coronavirus. A crisis on top of a crisis, so to say,” she said.
Lenarcic said the EU’s Copernicus emergency management service supports these efforts with satellite maps to assess the damage.
“During these troubled times, I am proud to see that first responders are starting saving people’s lives and that further assessment of the situation on the ground has already started,” she said.

President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration has disclosed that exiting N-power beneficiaries who have enjoyed the programme for two years can now access permanent job opportunities.
The development was revealed on Wednesday, January 20 by Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Farouq.
According to the minister, while speaking at the 4th annual review of the Home Grown School Feeding Programme (NHGSFP) a few moments ago, the development is part of the newly-activated N-power exit strategy.
The said initiative is meant for Batch A and B of the N-Power Programme.
The scheme being operated by the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, will have no fewer than 200,000 beneficiaries engaged as financial services operators under the Shared Agent Network Expansion Facility (SANEF).
“Plans have been concluded for the transition of the N-power Batch A and B through the creation of the NEXIT portal, which would allow those who choose to sign up to access other government empowerment opportunities,” Farouq noted.
She added that “A beneficiary management system for the NSIPs is expected to be deployed in 2021. It would have the capacity to manage payments, address grievances and improve the dissemination of information.”
The government said another 30,000 beneficiaries have been engaged as geospatial experts and enumerators in the Economic Sustainability Plan’s Mass Agric programme. While others will have the option of benefiting from the Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP) micro-enterprise loans.
Meanwhile, mnaija reports that a branch of the Social Intervention Scheme of the Federal Government, N-Creative training has commenced in the North since January 14, 2021.

Lazzat on Lygon St is a cheap lunch place popular with international students in Carlton. I chose a $7.50 plate with chilli chicken, eggplant sambal and beef rendang. Once I started eating it, I felt strange; my taste buds were confused.
Unlike an MSG overdose, where everything burns and I quickly get a migraine, at Lazzat my brain eventually worked out that everything was sweet. The chilli chicken was very sweet, as was the eggplant. Even the rendang was slightly sweet. Weird. Not bad, but not desirable either and not recommended. If you want good eggplant and rendang, go to Minang Nasi Padang on Pelham St instead.
When I got back to the office and did some research I was glad to discover I was not alone: Jess Ho and Sweet celebrations have already commented on the unusual sweetness of the food at Lazzat. Others, like Walk walk Melbourne, Urban Muslim, Sweetnov86 and Tasting palate don’t mind or haven’t noticed.


Britney Spears, who is out promoting her new album, “Femme Fatale,” appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Tuesday night. So did “Jackass” star Johnny Knoxville.
As part of her appearance last night, Britney filmed a sketch showing her “deleted scene” from “Jackass 3D” where she performed a stunt called “Poo Cocktail Supreme” — the flying porta-potty stunt Steve-O did in the movie.
MTV also debuted the trailer for their special, “Britney Spears: I Am The Femme Fatale,” check that out here!
Johnny Knoxville is the king of shenanigans, but let’s hope he sets aside his antics today when he marries Naomi Nelson, his longtime girlfriend and the mother of the second of his two children.
Life & Style has exclusively learned Naomi and Johnny will walk down the aisle today, just two days after Naomi personally selected her 2.5-carat Edwardian engagement ring from Platt Boutique Jewelry in LA.
An insider tells Life & Style, “They actually picked out Naomi’s engagement ring two days ago [Sept. 22], and they’re getting married today!”
Johnny (real name: Phillip John Clapp) and Naomi have been dating for about two years and had their first child together, Rocko Akira Clapp, on Dec. 20, 2009. Rocko is Johnny’s second child; he has a teen daughter, Madison, with his ex-wife, Melanie Clapp.
Jackass star Johnny Knoxville is going to be a dad for the second time, his rep confirms to Usmagazine.com.
His girlfriend of nearly a year, Naomi Nelson, is three months pregnant.
“Yes, they are expecting and very excited,” his rep tells Us.
Knoxville already has a 13-year-old daughter, Madison, with ex-wife Melanie Clapp. He and Clapp wed in May 1995 and were married for 12 years before separating in July 2006. One year later, Knoxville filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

“HVAC system market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR between 2018 and 2023”
The HVAC system market was valued at USD 181.00 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 251.60 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 6.80% between 2018 and 2023. Major factors driving the growth of the HVAC system market include increasing demand for HVAC systems for reducing energy consumption, extreme weather conditions, government tax credit and rebate programs, and growing demand for HVAC systems to upgrade old systems. However, complexities in HVAC retrofit pose a challenge to the players in the market.
“Market for VRF systems of cooling equipment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2018 and 2023”
The VRF systems of cooling equipment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2018 and 2023. VRF systems are known for their high-energy performance, which improves the energy efficiency in residential and commercial buildings. VRF systems can save up to 40% energy as compared to the traditional air conditioning systems. It consist of a network of zones, and these zones are heated and cooled only when they are in use. The system is thus designed to provide exactly the amount of cooling needed for the current conditions.
“Market for air purifiers of ventilation equipment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2018 and 2023”
The demand for air purifiers is growing because of the degrading air quality. Furthermore, people are more exposed to a high risk of contracting respiratory and other cardiovascular diseases because of rising air pollution. The increase in the number of health issues regarding air contamination among people is expected to drive the demand for air purifiers globally.
“APAC to hold the largest share of the global HVAC system market during the forecast period”
APAC is expected to hold the largest share of the HVAC system market between 2018 and 2023. The growing urbanization and increasing population led to the increase in residential and commercial constructional activities. Also, due to change in climatic conditions, the adoption of HVAC systems has increased in APAC. The fast-growing economy and rapid industrialization in China have resulted in disastrous effects on the atmosphere, and thus the focus of the Government of China has shifted on reducing pollution and using energy-efficient technologies and devices.

Hike in power charges a big blow to people: Nara Lokesh
- Describes CM as brand ambassador for 'false promises'
- Wants Jagan to apologise to people for making false allegations of high power tariff during TDP rule though the TDP govt did not hike tariff
Vijayawada: TDP national general secretary Nara Lokesh on Wednesday slammed the Jagan Mohan Reddy government for imposing a 'steep hike' in power charges without considering the financial constraints of the people.
He demanded an immediate roll back of the hiked charges so as to prevent further burden on the public. Jagan Mohan Reddy promised to give free power like his father but backtracked, he said.
In a statement here, the TDP MLC said that the Chief Minister had become the brand ambassador for 'false promises'. The hike came like a big blow to the general public this summer. By cancelling categories and fixing six slabs, the government had given a rude jolt to the common man, he added.
Lokesh said the charges would now go up by 45 paise per unit below 30 units, by 91 paise between 31 and 75 units and by Rs 1.40 for 76 to 125 units. The hike would be Rs 1.57 per unit for 126 to 225 units, Rs 1.16 for 226 to 400 units and 55 paise above 400 units. This was enough to show how the YCP regime was punishing different sections of people.
He pointed out that all the welfare money being given by Jagan Mohan Reddy to an average poor family in a year would not be enough to pay power bills. The CM should apologise to the people for misleading them on free power given under the TDP rule and also 24-hour quality power. At that time, Jagan made false allegations of high power charges though the TDP regime did not hike rates, he added.
Lokesh said that after coming to power by raising false expectations, Jagan Mohan Reddy was imposing unbearable burden in the name of meters for motors and frequent hikes in electricity charges. The TDP handed over a power surplus state but Jagan Mohan Reddy had pushed it into deficit in no time.
The TDP MLC pointed out that the Chandrababu Naidu government transformed the power sector into a model for the entire country by implementing reforms. But now, power cuts were being imposed due to shortage in availability.
He recalled how the YSRCP carried out false campaigns that the petrol and diesel rates were very high during the TDP rule. But after coming to power, Jagan Reddy had increased fuel rates so much that the AP rates were the highest in the country.

Laser-Cutting System Delivers Accuracy, Speed and ReliabilityMarch 1, 2008
Providing accuracy that can be realized across a number of processes, the Pulsar 2415NT productionlaser system from Amada America, Inc., Buena Park, CA, features reliable high-speed cutting, simple material loading and automated unloading of multiple parts, according to company officials.
Designed for the high-volume short-run production of sheetmetal parts, the redesigned machine includes a new high-speed capacitance head for more rapid cutting and enhanced plasma resistance; a quick-change cartridge-style lens and nozzle; and an improved optical delivery system for precise beam control. The machine comes with a 4000- or 2500-W resonator.
The Pulsar NT series integrates an AMNC-F, NT-based control and a turbine-driven, RF-excited, CO2 laser resonator into the machine frame. Then, aided by a unique motion system, the Pulsar can support high-volume production in, reportedly, half the floor space of previous-generation laser-cutting machines. A digitally controlled electronic shutter and advanced software enable rapid piercing, while delivering turret-like throughput in high-utilization materials such as cold-rolled steel.
The system provides independent CNC control of focus, nozzle height and assist gases, which provides greater cutting flexibility when changing material types and thicknesses during automated processing. DoubleCut, Amada’s patented stacked-sheet cutting technology, facilitates positioning speeds of 3150 in./min in the x and y axes. A z-axis speed of 2363 in./min. allows rapid laser-head response when cutting formed parts.

American rapper Kanye West has reportedly advised American reality television star Kylie Jenner to stop copying her sister, Kim Kardashian.
According to a report in Hollywood Life, the Gold Digger hitmaker wants the 17-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star to create her old identity.
"Kanye is Kylie's biggest supporter and loves the sexy young lady she is becoming," a source said. "He's definitely been championing her for years as he sees real superstar potential in Kylie. That's why he felt OK telling her that she needs to stop copying every move Kim makes and create her own identity."
The 38-year-old rapper thinks it is time for her to develop "her own signature look, style and brand."
"Kanye worships Kim," the insider added. "He has told Kylie there can only be one of her. Kylie hears what he's saying but honestly, [she] doesn't know where to take her look at this point. She's digging her looks and style and doesn't really care if she's stepping on Kim's toes a little."
This comes after the 34-year-old Kardashian recently posted a side-by-side view of her face with her youngest sister's face, on Instagram.
"Kim x Kylie," she captioned the image.
Meanwhile, Jenner's drastic change of looks has been widely discussed on social media.
In an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Tyga's girlfriend revealed that she had got lip fillers.
"I have temporary lip fillers, it's just an insecurity of mine and it's what I wanted to do. I'm just not ready to talk to reporters about my lips yet because everyone always picks us apart. I want to admit to the lips, but people are so quick to judge me on everything, so I might have tiptoed around the truth, but I didn't lie," she said.

CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- A southward expansion of the South Shore Line is a step closer to being realized.
The Federal Transit Administration has helped move the West Lake Corridor Project along by green-lighting a shift into the "engineering" phase of its Capital Investment Grant program, according to The Times of Northwest Indiana.
"That really is the FTA's stamp of approval on the project," Michael Noland, Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District president and chief executive, told The Times.
Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb also told the newspaper that the expansion is a critical part of their efforts to strengthen the economy and attract new residents.
In addition to its governor, Indiana's U.S. senators, Mike Braun and Todd Young, support the South Shore Line expansion.
Braun said the development will connect Lake County Hoosiers to high-paying jobs and encourage investment in the Munster, Hammond and Dyer areas.
The next steps include selecting an engineering firm to draw up plans and a contract by January. And once the cost is figured out, NICTD officials could approach the federal government about the grant money for construction.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick LeahyPatrick LeahySenate Dems rip GOP on immigration ruling Bernie Sanders’s awkward return to the Senate Senate heads toward internet surveillance fight MORE (D-Vt.) said Wednesday that he is concerned about the growing use of drones by police to conduct surveillance.
"I think there could be a significant threat to the privacy and civil liberties of millions of Americans," Leahy said in a speech at Georgetown University Law Center.
He argued that sacrificing privacy will not make people safer.
Drones are cheaper to build and fly than helicopters, making them a cost-effective option for police departments looking to gain a bird's eye view of a scene. Domestic drones are now uncommon, but the Federal Aviation Administration has predicted that by the end of the decade, 30,000 commercial and government drones could be flying in U.S. skies.
More than a dozen police agencies around the country have already applied for licenses to operate drones.
Privacy groups are urging Congress to enact legislation that would set nationwide restrictions on how police can use drones.
They argue that drones allow for persistent tracking that would not be possible with manned aircraft.
Rep. Ted PoeTed PoeCameras go dark during House Democrats' sit-in Democrats stage sit-in on House floor to push for gun vote Congress should stop government hacking and protect the Fourth Amendment MORE (R-Texas) said on Tuesday that he has spoken with House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob GoodlatteBob GoodlatteOvernight Finance: Anxiety grows over Brexit vote | Investors prefer Trump to Clinton in poll | Key chairman open to censuring IRS chief Judiciary chairman signals openness to censuring IRS chief A fix for the well-intended ethanol flop MORE (R-Va.) about the privacy risks of domestic drones.
"I think that's on his agenda, to have some kind of drone legislation during the Congress," Poe said.
Last session, Poe authored the Preserving American Privacy Act, which would have only allowed police to use drones with a warrant and to investigate a felony.
He said he plans to reintroduce similar legislation this Congress with Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), another member of the Judiciary Committee.


Iraq has imposed a ban on 10 satellite television channels, including Qatar- based Al Jazeera accusing it for escalating sectarian tension.
“We took a decision to suspend the licence of some satellite channels that adopted language encouraging violence and sectarianism,” Mujahid Abu al-Hail of the Communications and Media Commission told AFP on Sunday.
Al Jazeera has not been formally notified of the ban it said.
The ban includes 9 other satellite TV channels.
The move comes after a wave of violence that began on Tuesday with clashes between security forces and Sunni Arab protesters in northern Iraq that has killed a total of more than 170 people.
The violence is the deadliest so far linked to demonstrations that broke out in Sunni areas of the Shia-majority country.
The protesters have called for the resignation of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki for allegedly targeting their community.
Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki called for peace in a speech on Iraqi TV on Saturday.
In his speech, he said sectarian conflict had returned to Iraq “because it began in another place in this region” – a clear reference to Syria.
The protesters have called for the resignation of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, a Shiite, and railed against authorities for allegedly targeting their community.
U.N. special representative to Iraq Martin Kobler, who has condemned the 5-day violence in Northern Iraq, said Thursday that civilian and government leaders must work together to calm Iraq’s society.

U.N. Urges U.S. To Treat Migrants As Refugees
People who enter the U.S. and nearby countries illegally from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras should not be forced to return home and should be treated as refugees, a U.N. agency says. The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees says people from those countries are subject to persecution.
From Geneva, Lisa Schlein reports for our Newscast unit:
"The United States isn't the only country being flooded by migrants from Central America. U.N. refugee spokesman Adrian Edwards says the number of people fleeing to Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica and other countries in search of asylum has increased by more than 700 percent since 2008.
" 'They are fleeing an environment of transnational organized crime and other problems there, and we believe that amongst that there are people who will be in need of international protection,' Edwards says.
"The refugee agency is particularly concerned about the large number of unaccompanied children arriving in the U.S. Washington estimates more than 90,000 unaccompanied children will arrive by the end of September."
The AP reports that of the 52,000 unaccompanied children who have been taken into custody by U.S. border agents since October, about 75 percent are from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador.
"Even in a region accustomed to immigrant surges, no one has seen anything like this before," NPR's John Burnett reported from the Rio Grande area of Texas last month.
As NPR's Carrie Kahn reported last week, the Obama administration has struggled to discourage would-be migrants from attempting to cross into the U.S. illegally. Carrie talked to several people in Guatemala who said that conditions in their country — especially the economic prospects for its children — were enough to make them move north.
The call from the U.N. echoes statements made in the spring, when the refugee agency released "Children on the Run," a report that cited interviews with migrant children who had crossed international borders to flee violence.
This week, the U.S. and its neighbors will hold meetings in Nicaragua to discuss "updating a 30-year-old declaration regarding the obligations nations have to aid refugees," the AP says.

The next question was from Wendy, who said that she felt a lot calmer after the exercise of sensing her feet on the ground.
“Good. Well then, what is the next thing to tackle?” Mrs Adie
“To keep on with the preparation?”
“Yes, but we have to recognise that by itself, that is never enough. What you say is good, but at the same time we need to query things – always. We have to look for the difficulty. There has to be a struggle. And if you struggle and achieve something, you can’t sit back. You must ask: what is the next thing? Unless you’re already going to float up to heaven.”
People laughed, and when there was no response, Mrs Adie asked: “Don’t you find somebody who irritates you?”
Again, laughter. “It’s a nice way of putting it, isn’t it?” said Mrs Adie. “They irritate me.”
“Yes,” agreed Wendy. “After my success with the exercise I sort of congratulated myself and stopped. I see. Thank you.”
I think Wendy may only have paused, but perhaps Bob came in because what he had to say was so much on a line with what Wendy had just said. Bob said that his egotism took a great deal from him, but this week he did a long preparation, and he really wanted to stay contained, not to lose energy. He had a conference, and two other meetings. He often has meetings, but this time, he wanted to listen. All three meetings went differently, and the difficulties resolved themselves. When he came back to this in the evening, something preened itself, saying he had handled it well. He lost all that he had gained. He saw that, and he laughed at himself.
“It doesn’t have to be such a substantial loss,” replied Mrs Adie. “You saw yourself laughing at yourself, but what is that? It’s a sort of a joke in personality. It always happens. Something in us is going to get in, it will get around one way or it will get around another. But you made a certain effort to be free. To be quiet. To be available for what was required. Did you have to play much of a part?”
There was no immediate answer. Knowing him, I think Bob was unhappy that Mrs Adie had not endorsed him for laughing at himself. But Mrs Adie was not deterred. She asked: “As a rule, would you say that fear comes into it, or considering of one kind of another?”
“What sort of fear, of how it might go?”
Bob said that he was afraid of a tarnished image.
“But of course you didn’t have this idea with you the whole time, you weren’t awake the whole time, but you didn’t fall into the trap. What happened? You went prepared, so you were sort of oriented the right way, to start with.”
“I didn’t have to hop in with my opinion. I chose what I would comment on, and did not feel that I had to go with one side or another.”
“But this was something you had planned for yourself,” said Mrs Adie. “It was a work. Not to fall into some attitude or another.”
Bob said that he comes out of these meetings emotionally exhausted, without energy, but now he felt like he had to conserve something for himself.
“Maybe you didn’t identify so much, so that you can be freer, so that if someone congratulates you, you are not obliged to believe it.”
“That is true, something in me did not believe it,” he answered.
“So now,” said Mrs Adie: “it is the same as with Wendy. “You have to look for the struggle. When you review the day at night, ask yourself, where do you give in? Or more precisely, where do you disappear?”
Sadie said that she could not finish the reading from All and Everything which had been allocated. Then, when she realised how much time she had wasted, she “felt nauseated”. But her problem is that she does not have enough time to do the reading.
“It is quite untrue that you do not have time,” said Mrs Adie. “If you find this seems to be the case, then you need to make a plan. If you have a plan you can always manage better for some reason or other. We have heaps of time to do such a modest amount of reading, but we make excuses.”
“So, is this really just a confession? There is no question? No, then I would strongly advise you to read what we all read last Sunday, and then to go back and try and catch up. Try not to miss a day without reading some. I mean, it sounds such a terrible chore, the way you put it.”
Then Mr Adie joined in: “The book is on such a high level, and we are on such a low level. We haven’t really got the taste for it. That is why we do not long to read it. We’re identified with all the mundane things, and something that is high, we miss, because our level is here and the level of that is very high. But it relates to everybody, the reading. Most who were here have kept up with the reading, have they not?”
“We’ve begun reading the Planet Purgatory, and we read the first twenty pages last weekend,” said Mrs Adie. “So try reading that.”
That was the end of the meeting, but I’d like to note just a couple of things. The first is that, as Mrs Adie, there must be a struggle if we to achieve being. If I am too comfortable, there is a problem. I can be, as it were, confident or trusting in my efforts – but even using those words, one does not wish to suggest complacency. The questions from Wendy and Bob showed very well the danger of making some effort, finding a result, and then going to sleep: in this case, a self-satisfied slumber. Bob clearly had more insight into the matter, but even there, he was hampered by this other issue – a self-conceit that he had to be able to laugh at himself. As Mrs Adie saw, this is just a figment of his personality. It is interesting to reflect on how these figments appear. Perhaps, as children, we hear someone speaking about not taking oneself too seriously, about how good it is to be able to laugh at oneself, and that then gets caught up in an entire “philosophy” as it were.
Returning to the deeper issue, the need for a struggle in my daily life: this relates to what I posted on 13 January 2018 about the programme. That is, we need to go out to meet our weaknesses, each day, in accordance with a plan. That would indeed be work worthy of the name.
I was also impressed how Mrs Adie said to Sadie that she did indeed have time to read from All and Everything. I have always found that the people who most complain about a lack of time are the ones who most identify with this “lack” and who also fail to respect other people’s time. And I do agree with Mrs Adie. I have always find that you can do what you need to – but there may be some things you have to omit. You also have to respect other people’s time. If I were to offer a formula, it would be something like this: “Those who do no respect time, waste it and waste others’ time. Hence they find it slips through their fingers. Those who do respect it, and respect others’ time, use it better, and find there is enough for what is necessary” It seems to be a law of nature. As Gurdjieff said, time itself must bend to a person who is objective.

View of Kijkduin from the 'ZandMotor'
oil on canvas, 20 x 60cm
painted on location - Fri 25 Jan 2013
Just on time to capture this scene, as of yesterday the snow has all but melted away! I set up my gear right at the northerly most point of the man made Zand Motor, (unique in the world, pilot project of 32.2 million cubic meters of sand added onto the beach, covering an area of approx 100 hectares, 22 football fields). It was early afternoon, the Sun still casting a soft warm light on the white snow covered beach. which helped create all those warm hues on the surface. Not a cloud in the sky, thus the light was almost blinding. Naturally I had it behind me, thus it worked in my favour. Again just a reminder of my up and coming exhibition in the building 2nd from the right of the painting.

Can Oil And Gear Oil Be Mixed?
The difference between engine oil and gear oil is quite large, and the two cannot be mixed.
The main role of oil: lubrication, cleaning and dispersion, cooling, sealing.
Lubrication is actually the easiest to protect, because even the most common lubricants have good lubrication performance. A 706 CA6140 lathe in the factory has been used for nearly 50 years. The gears are in good condition and always add ordinary lubricants. . Engine combustion products require oil to dissolve and clean. Otherwise, these impurities will gradually harden at high temperatures, which will affect the normal operation of the engine. An oil seal is also required between the engine piston ring and the cylinder wall to prevent helium.
Cooling down, the cylinder is always burning intensely, the temperature is very high, the cylinder wall and the cylinder head have cooling water passages, which can be cooled by the coolant, and the piston cannot be directly cooled by the coolant due to its particularity, so the organic fuel is sprayed under the engine piston. The mouth sprays oil to the bottom of the piston to cool the piston.
Therefore, due to the particularity of the engine work, there are more requirements for oil.
The main function of gear oil is anti-wear and lubrication.
Gear oil is used in the differential and gearbox. These places are mainly gear meshing transmission power, and they are all located at the end of the transmission system. It needs to be decelerated and twisted, so the gear transmission load is very large, and more viscous oil is needed to ensure contact. There is still oil in the face when it is bitten.
The gear oil is very viscous, ensuring that the oil film on the contact surface is not damaged under heavy load. Moreover, some vehicles also contain graphite in the gear oil. The main component of the pencil lead we use is graphite. Graphite is also a kind of lubricant. Adding to the gear oil can increase the wear resistance. In order to increase the wear resistance, the gear oil is often added with other substances, so the gear oil smells mostly pungent smell.
Gear oil and engine oil have completely different properties and functions, so they cannot be mixed. However, it is better to use a gear oil to lubricate the chain than the oil.
