Like anyone whose been plying their craft for multiple decades, I've built up an impressive set of tools.
In the way of most working-class artisans, it was put together one tool at a time. My most lusted-after items in those long-ago early years were the stamping tools that are so critical to what I do. The half-dozen that I started with were enough, but only barely!
It was Dad that suggested that I could make my own with heavy nails and his bench grinder. An afternoon in his workshop more than doubled my stamp supply; better still, they were unique and kind of funky, different from anything commercially available.
The first step, of course, is to remove the point from the tip to fashion a strike-end.
Then work at the edges and the surface of the nail-head to create your desired imprint shape.
I did a couple with the large spikes, but they really chewed up Dad's grinding wheel. So I went to a smaller size, which worked well. I also did one with a cement nail - that one is a favorite because I can reverse it and use the strike-end to make a diamond mark.
With just a few cents worth of nails (and another few dollars to replace the grinding wheel that I pretty much wore away) I created a handful of stamping tools that I still use to this day.
All of these tooling examples were made with at least one of these stamps. The black wristband at the bottom is entirely made of homemade tools.
The message, of course, is that you needn't be limited by convention. I consider this just further proof that the old adage about necessity and invention holds true!
These and many more wristbands are available at my Etsy shop - www.aosleather.etsy.com

WASHINGTON — Many owners of early-model Chrysler Corp. mini-vans with potentially unsafe rear-door latches haven't had the latches replaced under a voluntary program, according to federal highway safety officials.
The announcement comes as lawyers in east Texas are preparing to square off with Chrysler over a case involving an alleged mini-van latch failure.
Mikal Watts, an attorney representing a Palestine, Texas, high school girl who was left a paraplegic after she was thrown from the back of a mini-van, said discussions with Chrysler aimed at a settlement are continuing.
However, chances are the case will go to court, he said, because of "substantial division" between the two sides. Jury selection began last week.
Chrysler representatives didn't respond to calls for comment.
The automaker voluntarily agreed to replace the door latches in September 1995. However, Chrysler consistently said the latches weren't defective.
According to statistics released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, only 14 percent of the 1984-1989 mini-vans with a remote release feature and 26 percent of the same model-year mini-vans without the remote release have been brought in to have the latch replaced.
The rate for the later-model years is higher. About 60 percent of all 1993-1995 Chrysler mini-vans have had the rear-door latch replaced.
"Automobile safety on our roads is our highest priority, and we strongly urge mini-van owners to obtain the stronger, safer rear latch from their dealers as soon as possible," said Dr. Ricardo Martinez, NHTSA administrator.
Ralph Hoar, an Arlington, Va., safety consultant who has pushed federal transportation safety officials to recall the vehicles, said 2.5 million Chrysler mini-vans with the defective latches are on the road.
Hoar added that NHTSA shares responsibility with Chrysler for the low response rate.
"You could say that their efforts at damage control on the latch issue worked a little too well," Hoar said. "When you've got the agency we depend on to ensure the safety of our automobiles declining to declare it a hazard and the company saying there is no problem, it has the effect of lulling the public into complacency."
As of October 1995, NHTSA reported that there were 207 known instances of rear door-latch failures. Watts said he believes that there are "undoubtedly many more."

The World Magnetic Model—the standard model of the Earth’s magnetic field and a crucial part of modern navigation systems—was last updated in 2015. That update was supposed to last until 2020, but problems with the model started within a year of the last update. As Nature reports, a geomagnetic pulse under South America in 2016 made the magnetic field “lurch”:
By early 2018, the World Magnetic Model was in trouble. Researchers from NOAA and the British Geological Survey in Edinburgh had been doing their annual check of how well the model was capturing all the variations in Earth’s magnetic field. They realized that it was so inaccurate that it was about to exceed the acceptable limit for navigational errors.
As a result, the WMM is being updated a year early—this month, in fact, though the U.S. government shutdown is pushing back the release of the updated model.

90s Home Decor Trends That Are Back in Style of 2021
Have you been thinking about the decor trends coming our way in 2021? You can follow the 90s trend to decorate your home. It’s being always exciting to decorate your home with some pretty new things which are trending back in 2021.
The 1990s gave us so much: Koosh balls, slap groups, dial-up Internet, and the Taco Bell Chihuahua. (Positioned in no specific request.) And while these all summon warm sensations of wistfulness – or perhaps that is only a taco hankering – a few ’90s trends should be left previously, particularly with regards to home decor. Wipe painting, poufy blind valances, ivy, and cabbage-rose everything, and silk blossoms all had their second and have kindly blurred from fashion.
There are so many new trending ways to decorate your home in 2021. Let’s have a look at some great 90s trend which are back in the style of 2021.
The Staples of 1990s Home Design
The 90s were similarly as multifaceted when it came to interior design and home accents as they were the point at which it came to fashion and realistic style. Attire had a tremendous assortment of intense colors and prints that were a mix of holdouts from the last part of the 90s and making their mark around. Contrarily, there was likewise a push towards a perfect and smooth design, basic moderate styles, and going for a “natural” look.
This look is a group pleaser, engaging any individual who adores their advanced home solaces however need to infuse some character subtleties into their living spaces, as well. It works preferably in homes that as of now make them interest highlights, for example, uncovered pillars, unique floorboards, or framed dividers, however can similarly be re-made with a considered equilibrium of old and new pieces that cooperate in amicability.
Recovered wood is the center material that holds this look together – search for remarkable pieces that show a lot of grain and surface, as opposed to things that are completely wrapped up.
Greater Diversity in Design Inspiration
While Europeans have a lot to bring to the table in the design world, we can hardly wait to keep investigating thoughts, materials, and aesthetics offered by individuals of different societies and sources. Variety prepares for new, better thoughts and advancements to assist us with making a more cognizant and lovely home, and we are eager to see a more prominent abundance of ability brought to the cutting edge of the universe of design and engineering.
Arts & Crafts
An expansion of cottagecore, to a certain extent, the new Arts and Crafts pattern grasp the notable nineteenth-century development, resulting from the mechanical unrest. The development intended to change how things were made and turn around the harmful impacts of machine-overwhelmed creation, expanding the estimation of hand-made, decorative pieces.
Wallpaper gets quite negative criticism. Most ’90s decorators wouldn’t fantasy about completing a room without wallpaper … while 2000s homeowners that followed reviled faintly eliminating it. Yet, wallpaper is making a rebound. The key is to utilize a refreshed example in a little portion – like in a powder room or on a room emphasize divider.
Beige and white
Discussing ’90s moderation, we’d be neglectful also the reappearance of beige-and-white design. Recall those Calvin Klein promotions including new confronted models in basic white tees and blurred denim? A similar straightforward style means interiors as layered beige-and-white tones.
Wicker was a very well known type of home decor during the 1990s. Regardless of whether utilized outdoors on yards and porches or inside in sunrooms and living spaces, wicker was a reliable style seen during this decade. Much the same as the trends previously referenced, wicker pieces are making a significant rebound! This adaptable and sturdy woven style can be seen utilized for quite a few furniture things, including seats, couches, bar stools, and rockers. Fortunately, top-notch wicker pieces for the home are additionally very moderate. Get thoughts on how to consolidate wicker into your home.
Outdoor Spaces Built for Year-Round Entertaining
Living through a pandemic has positively made us reexamine engaging at home as we probably are aware it, however as we find how simple it tends to be to engage through the colder time of year with a couple of changes, making these comfortable open-air spaces for all year use makes certain to be a need for those of us with itty-bitty city overhangs and rambling, lakefront patios the same. Outdoor Shade Structures are also trending in 20201. Having a shade in an outdoor space you will have a place for some entertainment. We’re cherishing this comfortable Palm Beach retreat outfitted with a fireplace that is ideal for facilitating when the sun goes down and the temperatures drop.
We’re foreseeing an ascent sought after for open-air fireplaces, fire pits, and even pizza broilers—anything that makes one’s outside space more reasonable and energizing all through the four seasons. We additionally anticipate that more individuals should dump their hardened open-air furniture for new and energizing choices coming out available.
Diane writes for topics like Home Improvement, Garden, or travel-related topics additionally; he has a passion for the home outdoor industry for more than ten years, Diane has become an experienced specialist in this industry.
His goal is to help people with his vast knowledge to assist them with his best suggestions about different Playground Equipment as fitness equipment, sports equipment, Splash Pads, and Shade Structures.


Phil Flanagan takes legal action against assembly's insurers
A Sinn Féin MLA who was ordered to pay nearly £50,000 damages for posting a defamatory tweet about a political rival is taking legal action against the insurance firm used by the assembly.
Phil Flanagan says he was unaware his tweet posted about Ulster Unionist MP Tom Elliott was libellous and claims it took the form of a question.
Mr Flanagan is taking legal action against an insurance firm over its refusal to provide cover for the libel award against him.
Last week, a judge awarded Mr Elliott £48,750 compensation following a tweet by Mr Flanagan.
The Fermanagh MLA posted the message after Mr Elliott appeared on a BBC radio programme in May 2014.
Mr Elliott served in the UDR for 10 years, between 1982 and 1992. He is now the MP for Fermanagh and South Tyrone.
Mr Flanagan's tweet read: "Tom Elliott talks to @StephenNolan about the past.
"I wonder if he will reveal how many people he harassed or shot as a member of the UDR."
The tweet was taken down from Mr Flanagan's Twitter account within an hour being posted.
However, Mr Elliot said that, despite the tweet being removed, it remained accessible on the internet, social media sites and political blogs.
The judge that Mr Flanagan's tweet was grossly defamatory.
Legal action culminated in the acceptance of an offer to make amends.
That involved Mr Flanagan recognising the defamatory and baseless allegations, formally apologising and agreeing to pay compensation and costs.
In an agreed statement he accepted his tweet was untrue, wholly without foundation and apologising for all offence caused.
A High Court judge has put a stay on any payout until Mr Flanagan resolves his legal action with insurers used by assembly members over a refusal to indemnify him.
The court heard on Thursday that cover provided for libel and slander claims, capped at £1m annually, excludes any cases where MLAs know their comments are defamatory.
Mr Flanagan told how he sent his tweet from Stormont's car park after listening to the radio show on his journey to parliament buildings.
Asked by his barrister if he intended to defame Mr Elliott, the Sinn Féin MLA replied: "Certainly not."
He told the judge that it was only after taking legal advice that he realised the seriousness of the situation.
During cross examination counsel for AIG Europe Ltd put it to him that he knew his tweet was "outrageously defamatory".
But Mr Flanagan insisted: "I framed it in the form of a question, thinking I wasn't making an allegation."
The case continues.

The host, Yvonne, was very friendly and helpful (especially when we had a flat battery!). There were treats there for when we arrived and we were given home grown vegetables on our departure. The area is very pretty with lots of lovely beaches a short drive from the house.

A view to a luxury world
Sunglasses have become much more than a basic through the years. All the big fashion companies develop eye-wear collections with the same dedication, quality and design as clothes and accessories. A day-to-day accessory, a personal mark and a style touch that has accompanied fashion from its beginnings and is an absolute must today.
A look to the past
The first sunglasses in History were created by the artic culture to protect their eyes from the snow more than a thousand years ago, but their golden age came in the early XXc with the magic of Hollywood. Sunglasses become a trend, not just as a way to protect your eyes from harmful sun rays, but as an accessory in your outfit. An accessory that represented personality, style and exclusiveness of Hollywood’s Golden Age.
Foster Grant designed the first pair of sunglasses of the Mecca of motion pictures. Celluloid sunglasses, that toyed with the material of the films and with the idea of big-star anonymity. He created a whole new fashion; an accessory that would gain importance and become a part of the fashion industry
Sunglasses are also a hallmark; a personal mark of the great icons of the fashion, movie or culture worlds. Steve McQueen, Audrey Hepburn, Marlon Brando, Yves Saint Laurent and Jackie Kennedy are some of the personalities that made their sunglasses a part of their trademark, a trend, an object of desire affordible only by a few.
Jackie Kennedy is still today one of the biggest references in fashion. Instead of the sobriety of her predecessors, she set a trend in her time and imposed luxury and european design as a symbol. Her huge sunglasses and scarves will forever be trades of her identity.
Robert Redford set trend, too, and became one of the most desired men of his time behind a pair of aviator Ray-Ban, in the movie 3 Days of the Condor, by Sydney Pollack (1975). Possibly, the most recognisable glasses in the XXc.
Catherine Deneuve in “Belle de Jour” created, along with Luis Buñuel, a unique character. A powerful woman, stylish and magnetic, full of mystery behind her magnified sunglasses.
Marcello Mastroianni made the perfect italian alliance, putting together dark shades and tailored suits. He was one of the most influential italian actors in the XXc, in terms of fashion, and he enshrined the dandy style.
Steve Mcqueen “The Secret of Thomas Crown” 1968 Don Johnson, “Miami Vice” 1986
Don Johnson made an icon of the Carrera, a model that pays homage to the legendary rally competition the Carrera Panamericana. In the 80s, the notorious stylist Milena Canonero revolutionised the fashion world with light dresses, printed chemises, wide flaps and these sunglasses, which are still one of the most sought-after designs of the brand.
Steve McQueen and his Person 714 became a turning point in The Thomas Crown affair, a movie that featured the best stylists of its time. Today, Steve McQueen is an icon of the Golden Age.

16 January 2015 : Hypothesis
Med Sci Monit 2015; 21:205-212
ABSTRACT: Background: Prostate cancer is a global health issue. Usually, men with metastatic disease will progress to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). We aimed to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in tumor samples from non-castrated and castrated men from LNCaP Orthotopic xenograft models of prostate cancer and to study the mechanisms of CRPC. Material/Methods: In this work, GSE46218 containing 4 samples from non-castrated men and 4 samples from castrated men was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus. We identified DEGs using limma Geoquery in R, the Robust Multi-array Average (RMA) method in Bioconductor, and Bias methods, followed by constructing an integrated regulatory network involving DEGs, miRNAs, and TFs using Cytoscape. Then, we analyzed network motifs of the integrated gene regulatory network using FANMOD. We selected regulatory modules corresponding to network motifs from the integrated regulatory network by Perl script. We preformed gene ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment analysis of DEGs in the regulatory modules using DAVID. Results: We identified total 443 DEGs. We built an integrated regulatory network, found three motifs (motif 1, motif 2 and motif 3), and got two function modules (module 1 corresponded to motif 1, and module 2 corresponded to motif 2). Several GO terms (such as regulation of cell proliferation, positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process, phosphorylation, and phosphorus metabolic process) and two pathways (pathway in cancer and Melanoma) were enriched. Furthermore, some significant DEGs (such as CAV1, LYN, FGFR3 and FGFR3) were related to CPRC development. Conclusions: These genes might play important roles in the development and progression of CRPC.

When Samsung acquired SmartThings, it initially said it wanted to be as hands-off as possible. It's unclear if that approach still holds, but Samsung is betting big on the connected home platform and is inviting developers to do the same.
"Our news today highlights the exciting developments occurring at Samsung and its growing ecosystem of developers and partners, across a wide range of technologies," said Won-Pyo Hong, head of Samsung's Media Solutions Center, at the conference in San Francisco.
All of Samsung's smart appliances will support either SmartThings or Tizen, the Korean tech company's micro OS. Samsung told developers at its conference in San Francisco that they can enjoy interoperability between its software, Tizen and SmartThings, and smart products such as TVs and fridges. The SmartThings hub lets users download a mobile app and use their smartphone like a remote to control connected IoT-connected devices.
The Korean tech company is predicting that there will be at least 20 million connected homes by 2017, giving reason to the amount of weight its putting behind its push into smart homes. SmartThings CEO Alex Hawkinson called Samsung's push into the Internet of Things a bold and big step into the future.
"Going forward, every connected appliance in the Samsung lineup will be connected to the SmartThings platform," Hawkinson said.
Samsung has stubbornly, or valiantly, continued to push its Tizen platform on mobile devices, despite the software's microscopic slice of the market for mobile OSes. Tying Tizen to SmartThings could help bolster the micro OS, as the connected home platform was already bringing top players on board before Samsung swooped in and bought it in August.
Along with Tizen and SmartThings, Samsung talked up 26 software development kits and application programming interfaces at its 2014 developer's conference. Of the 26 developer's kits, the SmartThings and Samsung Internet of Things packages were weaved into each of the sectors on which Samsung is focusing.
Outside of wearables and smart homes, Samsung is also focusing on digital health and virtual reality. While Samsung's wearables will support its Tizen, the tech firm has developed a health platform to facilitate the collection and transmission of sensitive health information.
Samsung's virtual reality aspirations also veer off the Tizen and SmartThings tracks, as the tech company has been partnering with Facebook's Oculus Rift division to push the evolution of video gaming. However, Samsung has been working with its Gear platform as the innovators behind the latest endeavor into VR work to iron out something open and robust enough for third-party development.

1999 Pontiac Montana from North America
This is a well-made family vehicle
Minimal issues with this van. The only thing that we've never been able to satisfactorily fix is the gasket around the windshield; it leaks occasionally in one corner.
Mechanically, we've had to have work on the radiator (at 120,000 miles), and the tie rods replaced (at 130,000 miles).
It has stood up to moderate wear (we are not rough with our vehicles), and we are delighted that at 152,000 miles it is still running well. We hope to keep it another couple of years.
The fabric upholstery has no rips, and the plastic housing and dashboard have no cracks.
We have had to replace a couple of the plastic pins/screws that hold some of the interior housing in place (driver's door).
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Taken before and after workouts, this fast-digesting protein provides the amino acids required to build muscle protein at the most critical time for growth.Nutrient timing is critical for maximizing muscle gains and recovery, legal supplements creatine. In essence, one should consume two to three times as much BCAAs (butyrate, citrulline, glycine, and tryptophan) in the morning as one would consume during the day.Supplementing BCAAsThere are other BCAAs available to supplement consumers. The most important nutrient to supplement is BCAA-E, bcaa xplode powder.BCAA-E is typically synthesized from the amino acid tryptophan and is a precursor for the release of the amino acids lysine, aspartate, and tryptophan from the brain. It can also help to release the free form of a long-chain amino acid known as alpha-lactalbumin from its storage in the liver, legal supplements creatine.Supplementing BCAAs has numerous health benefits beyond building lean muscle mass, and provides an excellent way to increase BCAA levels at a specific time of day. BCAA-E supplementation helps to maintain healthy levels of BCAA in the blood, durabolin apa. And it works as an excellent energy supplement for those who exercise. When ingested alone, BCAAs do not provide an immediate boost in energy. BCAA-E supplementation causes an immediate spike, allowing all cells in the body to access fuel, steroids online shop review.When supplementation fails to help, BCAA-E (and its amino acid precursor, tryptophan) is taken by mouth, vnv afkorting betekenis. BCAA-E is absorbed relatively quickly from the gastrointestinal tract to the bloodstream, best steroids europe. BCAA-E does not cause any side effects and is readily absorbed into the bloodstream.As with other BCAA supplements, the best time and place for taking BCAAs is when consumption is most advantageous, amino 6000 before and after.

Athletes who use Sustanon report a solid muscle growth since it results in less water retention and also aromatizes less than either testosterone enanthate or Cypionate. Sustanon has both bioavailability and long duration of use. It is widely utilized by athletes. A clinical trial was performed by B. Davenport et al, showing that Sustanon improved leg strength in a healthy adult male population (2).A study on healthy men aged 18-28 years with a body mass index (BMI) >26.5 showed that it was the combination of Testosterone enanthate and Sustanon that was the most effective for increasing strength (3). A cross-sectional study of a population of young and healthy males and females showed that Sustanon is not as effective than Testosterone enanthate alone as a performance enhancer (4). Sustanon has also shown a lack of effectiveness in increasing fat loss. In a study of healthy young men and women, while Sustanon worked well at reducing total cholesterol and triglyceride levels compared to Testosterone enanthate alone, Sustanon was not effective for total cholesterol and triglyceride reduction when the placebo group was also treated with these two supplements (5). Sustanon has been found to contain several bioactive compounds, including phenol, beta-lipoic acid, and citrulline palmitate (p-palmitate), without the risk of cardiovascular toxicity associated with Testosterone enanthate or the long-lived cardiovascular effects of Cypionate (6).SafetySafety is rarely a major concern for Testosterone enanthate and Sustanon. Testosterone enanthate and Sustanon are not generally toxic in adults and children. However, because the absorption of Testosterone enanthate and Sustanon are similar, there may be some risk of blood clotting if the dosage is increased or discontinued due to the possibility of a possible interaction between the two drugs. These risks are low, particularly from overdose after use of either drug. Testosterone enanthate is generally considered to be not excreted in the urine and a body mass index (body mass divided by height squared) over 26.5 provides a good screening test for adverse effects (1).Side EffectsSide effects for Sustanon are rare compared to the risks from using Testosterone enanthate and are generally mild to moderate in severity (7). The most common side effect reported using Sustanon is increased hunger. There are no reports of severe gastrointestinal issues from Sustanon using.Similar articles:

Weighing The Pros And Cons Of Podiatry Supergroups
- Volume 26 - Issue 12 - December 2013
- 10022 reads
- 2 comments
Part of the success of supergroups is to create institutional consistencies, even in the delivery of care. In doing so, there can be less freedom for individual physicians to choose patient care but instead follow “best practices” established by the group. While this can improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs, physicians who join the supergroup often resist.
Consistency of care is also important to the staff. As the staff has to deal with more physicians, there can be confusion about the needs of the physician, which leads to chaos and poorer patient experiences. Consistency of care is paramount to the success of supergroups. As the group becomes larger, the level of consistency must be even greater to ensure that the brand is delivering what it promises. Some physicians are just not capable of working within these parameters.
All supergroups have processes in place to divvy up patients to the physicians. However, as a group becomes larger, there is an inevitable confusion as to which doctors are to see which patients. There has never been a supergroup that hasn’t had issues and arguments about the way in which patients are distributed and this can often lead to rather significant problems among the physicians, management, staff and patients.
Furthermore, the larger the group, the greater the risk of losing the “personal touch” associated with a doctor-patient relationship. For years, patients had been used to calling the office and talking to the person they have known forever. Now this person will be replaced by an impersonal voice without a face that asks terse questions about insurance and other things never discussed on the telephone before. Some people are not ready for Home Depot replacing their local hardware store. There is a danger that some patients will become dissatisfied with this new delivery of care and seek their medical treatment elsewhere.
The process of joining a supergroup is usually not easy. The practice will have to adjust its way of performing medical records, answering the telephone, ordering supplies, delivering patient care, billing and getting their paycheck. For sure, there will be employee attrition with possible temporary or long-term unhappiness for employees and, in some cases, the physicians with the change of culture.
Creating a supergroup is expensive. There is the highly compensated management team, legal fees, capital investments and the cost of transition. If the group is not managed well and there is not buy-in by the physicians, then these costs will outweigh any expected increased profits. In fact, if poorly executed, the supergroup can be a financial disaster.
Lastly, the cost of a failed exploration into a supergroup can be quite expensive. Legal fees can add up quickly. Additionally, if the new venture does not meet a person’s expectation, the extraction of a practice from a supergroup can be painful and expensive. As one considers joining a supergroup, do as much “dating” as possible and find out if the supergroup is right for you. Additionally, understand terms before getting attorneys involved. Paying attorneys can be the most maddening part of any business deal.
Private and small group practices are at a crossroads due to the rapidly changing healthcare environment. Issues such as payment reform, capital investment and technology are causing many private practice physicians to reevaluate their futures. For some, the future is creating or joining a supergroup. Those who choose to remain independent will face significant obstacles.
To survive and thrive in the new world of healthcare, practices must have strong physician leadership, solid management and good governance. Many will choose to take on these challenges alone while others will band together and form a strong, unified group that can effectively weather the storm that lies ahead.
Dr. Weil is the President of the Weil Foot and Ankle Institute, which has 18 physicians in 16 Chicagoland locations. He is a Partner of Foot and Ankle Business Innovations, an organization that helps practices realize their full profitability. To find out more, visit www.FABI2014.com .

Is everyone ready for the football World Cup? The battle lines are once more drawn in our house. The orange camp on one side and the white and red on the other. Although in reality the battle lines are much closer together than they once were and during the last World Cup our house was pretty much an exclusively orange affair.
I’m more caught up in the Dutch media frenzy leading up to any major tournament than I am in the English media onslaught. I’m more familiar with the Dutch players than the English. So the battle lines have become hazy. We’re a little more united than twelve years ago. My sons and husband will cheer for England – as long as their opponents are not wearing orange.
My only gripe so far is that England’s first match kicks off at midnight Dutch time….
I think whatever happens this year we can safely say it won’t be a repeat of the drama and tears in our house of the 2010 World Cup Final
. My prediction is that neither England nor the Netherlands will get anywhere near the final……and so there will be peace in the van Mulligen household come July 13th when the final will be played.
Are you planning on watching the World Cup? Which team is your money on to reach the final? Which team will you be cheering on?

First Mars was the setting of imaginary declining civilizations; then it was a dead, cratered, Moon-like world. Thanks to a coordinated Mars exploration program that began in 1996 and continues to the present day, we now know Mars better than any world other than our own, yet we have more questions than ever.
Geologically, Mars is quiescent, but its atmosphere breathes and changes from year to year, interacting in complex ways with the water sequestered in Mars' ice caps and permafrost. Water does not, today, flow on Mars, but it evidently has in the past, and it may flow again in the future when Mars' rotation axis tilts much more steeply. Did Mars ever look like Earth, or has it always been as cold and dry as an Antarctic desert? Has there ever been the right combination of liquid water, available energy, and time to permit life to begin on Mars?

March 2, 2010 in Utility (E)
[prMac.com] Lancaster, Pennsylvania - Volitans software today is pleased to announce the release of SMART Utility 2.2, a significant update to the hard drive diagnostic application. The new features include saving and opening SMART drive reports, printing reports, and better support for SSDs.
SMART Utility is an application to scan the internal hardware diagnostics system of hard drives SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) is a system built into hard drives by their manufacturers to report on various measurements (called attributes) of a hard drive's operation. The attributes can be used to detect when a hard drive is having mechanical or electrical problems, and can indicate when the hard drive is failing. SMART Utility can read and display these attributes. This allows time to hopefully backup, and then replace the drive.
SMART Utility is different from other drive utilities, such as Disk Utility, which only read the overall SMART Status. SMART Utility not only displays the individual attributes to see their status and information, but it also uses an internal algorithm based on those attributes to detect drives failing before SMART indicates it has failed. This pre-fail detection can save precious data before SMART has determined that the drive has failed. And, while the raw information can be viewed on the command line with smartmontools (which is what SMART Utility is based on), SMART Utility presents it in an easy to read format, as well as running its internal pre-fail algorithm.
Full release notes for Version 2.2:
* Added support for saving and opening drive reports in native format
* Added support for printing SMART reports
* Fixed bug where scanning capabilities that would cause an error
* Fixed bug where in rare cases scanning SMART data would cause a crash
* Improved debug log formatting
* Moved log files to a subfolder
* Now log window updates live
* Updated smartctl engine to 5.39 providing more fixes and recognizes more drives, including SSDs
* Updated eSellerate embedded engine to 18.104.22.168
* Displays all supported drives and their partitions
* Displays easy to read overall SMART status with color coded text
* Displays important information in the main window, such as drive model, capacity, power on hours, temperature, bad sector counts, and error counts and types
* Displays more detailed information in separate windows, including capabilities, all available attributes, and the past five errors
* Run scan every hour, day, or week
* Run built in drive self tests
* Customize failing triggers
* Print drive reports
* Save and open drive reports
* Supports scanning individual RAID drives in addition to non-RAIDed drives
* Supports logging all information to a log file for verifying SMART data
* Supports Mac OS X 10.4.11, 10.5, and 10.6 as well as both PowerPC and Intel Macs
Pricing and Availability:
SMART Utility is available in a variety of licenses including a personal license for $25 (USD) and a family license for $40 (USD). It can be purchased online or in an innovative way: within SMART Utility itself through its embedded web store.
Volitans Software was founded on February 22, 2007, by Matthew Butch, to sell SMART Utility. The name Volitans comes from the scientific name of the Red Lionfish. Matthew is an Apple Certified Macintosh Technician, an Apple Certified Technical Coordinator, and an Apple Certified System Administrator. He conceived of the idea of SMART Utility because he wanted a better way to test hard drives in his job as an on-site Macintosh Technician.

First of all, let me to introduce myself. My name is Vilma, I was born in a very beautiful country in Europe, Lithuania.
I always used to love sewing and designing since childhood. I created my first piece of “art” when I was about 8 years old, a dress for my doll. Of course, it wasn’t a perfect piece, but I really enjoyed the process. My hand sewing experience changed forever on my 15th birthday when my grandmother gave me a real sewing machine. It was an old model Singer sewing machine and I loved it! I still have it and keep it as one of my best memories.
I forgot to mention that I grew up in a traditional family, where fashion wasn’t taken seriously, so when I finished school, I continued my studies in the finance industry. But I always liked to look feminine and read articles about the latest designer’s collection, and deep down I wanted to be a part of the fashion environment. When I finished university, I finally was able to make a clear and very important decision in my life and follow my dreams. I moved to Greece (another childhood dream), where I started to build my own fashion brand and today I have my own studio in Athens, where I create, design and dream. In 2016 I opened my boutique online.
A decision I made as a 19 year old also shaped my boutique. When I was 19 I became vegetarian, and after 6 years I started to live a vegan lifestyle. In our family, we always had animals around, some fish and two dogs. So, the love for animals came naturally and it was the main reason I became vegan. Becoming a vegan taught me to love and respect lives. I never wear fur or leather, and I don’t sell them in my boutique. I always choose cruelty-free, animal friendly products. Also, I wanted to run a business which is based on the philosophy of my life and ethics and I am very proud of building a vegan brand. My priority is happy customers, so I offer sustainable, quality products and fantastic customer service. I believe that fashion can be sustainable, ethical and fair.
Thank you Trusted Clothes for giving me an opportunity to share my personal journey with ethical fashion and inspire other people to follow their dreams.

Film vs. Reality: Souvenirs, Memory, and Trauma Explored
Writer, filmmaker, artist and self-described nomad, Brooke Stoker ’16, Film and Screen Studies, used her extensive knowledge of film and film theory to write a research paper examining trauma and memory in two popular films, Memento and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
On the basis of her consistent academic and extracurricular excellence, and commitment to research, Stoker was inaugurated into the 2016 Society of Fellows and participated as panelist on the Trauma, Gender and Sexuality in Film Studies panel at the 2016 Society of Fellows Annual Meeting. She worked closely with Professor Ruth Johnston who served as her faculty mentor, editing and revising the research paper in preparation for the Annual Meeting. “Dr. Johnson is very thorough and thoughtful in her editing. She is a wonderful mentor in writing and film critique,” Stoker said.
Memory and loss
Stoker’s paper, Souvenirs: The Power of Representation in Relation to Memory is a rigorous comparative analysis of two films where souvenirs, trauma and memory loss are central to the films’ narratives. She compared and contrasted the protagonist of the film Memento, who relies solely on souvenirs to inform him of his identity and purpose, with the protagonist of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, who uses souvenirs to suppress and destroy the memories from his difficult past.
“There is power and memory within souvenirs, but they can never recreate the moment,” Stoker asserts. In reality, one’s souvenirs serve only as an emotional trigger capable of reminding one of past events but are not exact replicas of a moment, nor tools for recreating an experience. As her research illustrates, only through movie magic—the special effects, audio effects, editing, etc.—can a moment ever truly be relived.
A scholarly analysis
Her research and extensive analysis was inspired by a quote from film historian and scholar, Thomas Elsaesser, “trauma theory is not so much a theory of recovered memory as it is one of recovered referentiality.” Elsaesser posits that actively forgetting a trauma can cause just as much harm as remembering it.
Her scholarly and creative work is highly representative of a generation struggling to find a balance between enjoying life’s fleeting moments, and the impulse to capture and share them with others, often through social media. Stoker grappled with this concept of documentation and presence in her senior honors thesis, Where Mud Abounds, a multimedia piece detailing her experience hiking the Long Trail through Vermont. “I delved into personal questions and ultimately concluded that capturing moments often inhibits us from living them,” she said.
Stoker graduated in May in the top four of her class with a major in Film and Screen Studies, and three minors in Peace and Justice Studies, Photography, and Business. She was the recipient of the Dyson Award for Film and Screen Studies, and the first-place recipient of the Richard Gill Writing Award for film criticism. “My professors and classes at Pace have been crucial to my development as a writer,” Stoker said, “Words, images, and physical objects hold ties to the past that can spark so many thoughts and feelings and that’s what I’m most interested in exploring, not only in my research, but in my personal life as well. I want to ink my notebooks and click my camera shutter now so that someone later on can catch a glimpse of my past.”

Gay couples in Orange County and beyond are preparing to get married after Wednesday's Supreme Court decisions, although it will be at least 25 days before such weddings are possible, and several legal issues remain.
In addressing California's Proposition 8 ban on gay marriages, the court's 5-4 decision allows to stand a lower-court ruling that the initiative is unconstitutional – a ruling that also raises questions about the future of the state's initiative process. In a separate 5-4 decision, the court struck down a key component of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which had banned federal benefits for legally married same-gender couples.
But gay marriages in the state continue to be blocked by a stay, issued by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in 2010 pending a Supreme Court ruling. The appeals court said Wednesday it would wait at least 25 days to remove the stay, allowing Prop. 8 proponents time to ask for a rehearing before the Supreme Court. The stay could continue beyond that if a rehearing is granted, it said.
Prop. 8 proponents decried the ruling and said additional legal action to block gay marriages is possible, although they declined discuss specific legal plans.
Gov. Jerry Brown and state Attorney General Kamala Harris said they believed same-gender weddings would be taking place in the near future.
“After years of struggle, the U.S. Supreme Court today has made same-sex marriage a reality in California,” Brown said.
Among celebratory rallies Wednesday was an evening event outside the Old Courthouse in Santa Ana. That's where county marriage licenses are issued, and while Anaheim Hills couple Al Milo and Tom Johnson weren't on hand for the rally, the couple of 39 years plan to get married there.
“It's a good day,” Milo said. “We are very happy with the court's decision.”
Milo acknowledged that the high court's Prop. 8 ruling was based on a technicality – that backers of the 2008 measure didn't have standing to appeal the lower-court ruling that the law violated constitutional protections of equal rights. Better would have been a ruling that gay marriages were a constitutional right nationwide, he said.
“I personally would have wanted a wider decision, affecting states other than California, but since we live in California, we'll take what we can,” he said.
The high court ruled that only top state officials can defend legal challenges to voter initiatives. Brown and Harris – and then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger before them – declined to defend Prop. 8, saying they believed it was unconstitutional.
Backers of Prop. 8 then stepped in to defend the measure from legal challenges.
Experts said the ruling against private parties – such as Prop. 8 advocates – entering the legal fray endangers the initiative process. If the governor and attorney general can effectively veto initiatives they don't like by refusing to defend them in court, the public's ability to pass such measures is undermined, said John Matsusaka, president of the Initiative and Referendum Institute at USC.
“Regardless of what you think about same-sex marriage, you should be concerned about the initiative process,” Matsusaka said. He said it's uncommon for the state not to defend initiatives, but it's unclear how the dilemma created by the Supreme Court will be resolved.
“It's hard for me to see where you go from here,” Matsusaka said.
Doug NeJaime, a professor at Loyola Law School, agreed.

A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Hacksaw Ridge
It’s been said heroes are made, not born. His birthplace of Lynchburg, however, set the first scene in the heroic true story of Private First Class Desmond T. Doss. His story is now told by Hollywood in the major motion picture Hacksaw Ridge, in theaters November 4.
“I thought it was just a faith-based war story,” Randall Wallace told Lynchburg Living in a phone interview from California. “I read it and couldn’t believe it said Lynchburg, Virginia.”
The moment that a screenplay titled The C.O. (Conscientious Objector) came to famed Hollywood screenwriter Randall Wallace was every bit as serendipitous as years before, when a trip to Scotland to learn more about his Scottish-American roots led Wallace to discover the legend of a medieval Scottish patriot. That journey inspired his first produced screenplay, Braveheart. In The C.O. Wallace found another compelling true story of patriotism and sacrifice, but this time he and the patriot shared roots in common ground.
“I had grown up in Lynchburg and never heard of Desmond Doss. He was remarkable to me,” said Wallace. “Commitment to God and country, for him it was not either or, it was both and.”
At age 21 Doss became a deacon at Lynchburg’s Park Avenue Seventh-day Adventist Church. Within five years he would become the first Conscientious Objector to receive our nation’s highest military decoration, the Congressional Medal of Honor. In the wake of Pearl Harbor, Doss felt compelled to serve his country in World War II, but he had to reconcile that with serving God and upholding His Sixth commandment–Thou Shalt Not Kill.
Doss concluded he could do both by serving as an Army medic. He would not carry a rifle because of his deeply held Christian beliefs, drawing the disdain of fellow soldiers. Nevertheless, he saved the lives of as many as 75 men during the Battle of Okinawa, by carrying or dragging them one-by-one to the edge of a cliff and lowering them down the jagged face to friendly hands waiting below.
Wallace committed to the script’s re-write, deciding it should be called Hacksaw Ridge, the name Americans gave the portion of the Maeda Escarpment on the island of Okinawa, Japan. It’s where Doss found himself under unrelenting enemy fire while working to save his fellow soldiers. Wallace took his screenplay draft to friend and colleague Mel Gibson, who directed and starred in Wallace’s Braveheart. Hacksaw Ridge is Gibson’s directorial comeback, after a ten-year hiatus.
The distance to cross the White House lawn, the shaky feeling one might have preparing to stand face to face with President Harry S. Truman—the events of October 12, 1945, the day Pfc. Doss was awarded the Medal of Honor, pale in comparison to what Doss had endured to get to that day. Two weeks after receiving the Medal of Honor Doss unceremoniously caught a bus home to Lynchburg. His hometown threw a parade in his honor.
Today drivers make their way from one end of Lynchburg on the Pfc. Desmond T. Doss Memorial Expressway. Lynchburg City Council named the portion of highway for Doss in 2007, the year after his death. The night before their surprise appearance at Liberty University’s commencement in May, Wallace, Gibson, and actor Vince Vaughn, who plays Doss’ sergeant in the film, wanted to see Lynchburg, to get a better appreciation for where Doss came from, according to Liberty University President Jerry Falwell, Jr. Falwell said their driving tour included a trip down the expressway named for Doss and to see Desmond T. Doss Christian Academy.
Following commencement select guests gathered with the screenwriter, director, and star for an intimate screening of a yet to be finished or promoted Hacksaw Ridge at the university’s Cinematic Arts school. The local audience felt as if they’d been taken back to 1940s Lynchburg, despite the film having been shot on location in Australia. An Australian mental hospital was used to represent “Lynchburg Hospital” in the film. Becki Falwell, wife of Jerry Falwell, Jr., said moviegoers with connections to our area should watch with a keen eye to spot what would seem to be familiar sites in the film.
“There’s a scene where Desmond and his girlfriend are running through the woods,” said Becki Falwell. “The rocks, it looked Virginia. It looked Lynchburg. It looked real.”
“There were a number of discussions about what Lynchburg was really like,” said Wallace.
Wallace was just the person for filmmakers to ask. He moved with his family from Tennessee to Lynchburg at the age of 11 and graduated from E.C. Glass High School.
“Lynchburg became home to us,” said Wallace.
Wallace said financial considerations kept filming in his adopted hometown off the table, but the filmmakers still wanted it to feel authentic. They hoped to capture the essence and beauty of the area.
“They found locations that looked remarkably like Lynchburg and surrounding areas,” said Wallace. “The mountain scenes looked like the Peaks.”
Location was everything, and while getting the sights right was important, sound adds another layer of authenticity to the film. Wallace suggested filmmakers talk to people with real local accents, then Hollywood came calling Lynchburg. Locals found themselves chatting on the phone with a dialect coach.
“They were trying to get the native accent,” said Lynchburg Museum Director Douglas Harvey, who answered a cold call from the coach. “How do people in Lynchburg say house?”
Cindy Childress, who works in the Lynchburg College Admissions Office, responded to an email filmmakers sent to the office’s inbox. The dialect coach was wanting to chat with a local female, over age 50. Just shy of her 50th birthday and having been in the Lynchburg area since third grade, Childress was perfect for the role.
“She just asked me to talk,” said Childress. “Tell me about your family. Tell me about your last vacation, just broad things that would get me talking for a while.”
At a private screening for about 75 Seventh-day Adventists near Washington D.C. in August, producer Bill Mechanic told of another secret visit.
“Andrew Garfield had come to Lynchburg sometime back to see all the places associated with Desmond,” said Desmond T. Doss Christian Academy Principal Steve Doss, who attended the screening.
Garfield is best known for portraying the skyscraper scaling superhero in 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man and its 2014 sequel. Desmond Doss, coincidentally, was the subject of a comic book published in 1946. Wallace said Garfield was well suited to take on the identity of a real-life hero.
“The young man who plays Desmond is absolutely committed to accuracy,” said Wallace. Desmond Doss moved to Georgia in the 1950s where he built a home with his wife and raised a son. There under the authority of the Georgia Cumberland Association of Seventh-day Adventists, the Desmond Doss Council was created to preserve, protect and manage the intellectual rights to Desmond Doss’ life story. Steve Doss, who has no known familial relationship to Desmond Doss, had a chance meeting about three years ago with Dr. Charles Knapp, chairman of the council.
“If my memory serves, Dr. Knapp told me they had held on to his story for some 12 years to find the one that would stay true to who Desmond was and what he did,” said Steve Doss. “He told me then they had just gotten the story to someone who would stay true to it. I felt confident the story was going to be done right.”
On one visit to the school that bears his name, Desmond wore his Army uniform and Medal of Honor. He showed the students how he tied the bowline knot he used to lower wounded soldiers to safety. Another time he talked to young people about where faith could take them in life. For Steve, the movie’s portrayal of Desmond Doss did not disappoint.
“He was very humble when he spoke. Desmond seemed to be the opposite of what one would think a war hero would be. At the end of the movie, they have actual footage of an aged Desmond telling one of his stories. I felt like that was the confirming point for the audience, to know the man in the movie was a real man telling the story,” said Steve Doss. “He never seemed to represent what he did with his words because the words didn’t match his small 150-pound frame. For me, the movie makes the two now match.”

Farmers in West Pokot and Trans Nzoia Counties have urged the government to open the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) to enable them to sell their produce. They urged the national government to open NCPB buying centres so that farmers can deliver their maize in good time. The National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) silos are still closed despite assurances by the government they’ll start buying maize from farmers last week.
The farmers want the government to buy their maize so that they won’t be exploited by middlemen.
Middlemen in the area have been buying maize for KSh 23OO, making huge profits from farmers who are desperate for cash.
Led by Mr. James Kapelion, the farmers said the cereal boards should be open as soon as possible as the farmers incur losses due to heavy rains. “We don’t want to have problems when it comes to paying school fees in January next year,” he said, “By now we could have taken maize to the cereals board.”
Kapelion, who is one of the large-scale farmers in the region added that the government should support the farmers to facilitate their agricultural production. “NCPB should begin buying maize from the farmers to cut off these profiteers. The maize is being sold at 2800 per bag,” he said.
The farmers also called on NCPB to partner with the region’s County governments to open up satellite centres to be used as pick-up points in the supply of farm inputs and sale of produce.
“We need the centres in remote areas so that we can access farm inputs without problems,” he said
They said the centres will help to cut on high costs they have been incurring on transportation, which has in the long run been affecting their profit margins.
“The cost of production and transportation has gone up, farmers are operating at a loss,” said another farmer Mr. George Kiptoo.
