VERNON — Popular Christian doo-wopper/percussionist Walter Santos is coming to perform in Rockville on Aug. 2, as part of the Jacob’s Well Coffeehouse series.
Santos was born in New York City and learned percussion in its “deep ethnic neighborhoods," in the 1950s, when doo-wop was becoming popular. He got his first break in the music business by playing percussion at Carnegie Hall on the same bill as the legendary jazz group The Jazz Crusaders and George Benson, which opened several other doors in the industry.
Eventually, he played with famous bands including Charlie Daniels, Moby Grape, The Marshall Tucker Band, The Outlaws, and Pure Prairie League.
Addiction plagued the musician, but after speaking with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Icon Dion Dimucci, of Dion and The Belmonts, he found sobriety through Jesus.
Now, Santos tours the world constantly sharing the good news that he says has truly set him free.
Santos has toured nationally with several musical acts, and has added Christian lyrics to many of the doo-wop songs he grew up loving. In 2006, Santos completed his CD, StreetCorner Symphony, Volume Two, which had the goal of capturing "a 50s/60s doo-wop sound with a live-concert feel using cover songs and originals,” he said in an interview.
Santos always says that when he got born-again, the music did too.
Volume Two was to be a continuation of what God had started in Volume One, he said.
“After listening to the final product, I was convinced that the goal had been more than accomplished and the expectations and vision were overwhelmingly met,” said Santos. “God is faithful and truly is ‘large and in charge’ of every area – including CD orchestration, design, and production.”
Over the years, Santos has performed several times at Jacob’s Well, and will return on Aug. 2.
Doors open at 7 p.m., with music starting at 7:30 pm. The café-style coffeehouse will be held at The Oasis, a renovated 1800s storefront at 3 Elm St., in the Rockville section of Vernon. Admission and refreshments are free. Dress is casual and the facility is accessible to the handicapped.
Sponsors include Union Church, Keep In Touch, Thrivent Financial, St. Michael IT Solutions, and Steve’s Bagels. For details and directions, please call 860-871-6500 or visit www.JacobsWellCoffeehouse.com.

It's all piping hot, delicious, and reasonably priced. The food tastes FRESH. Don't go anywhere besides Taiwan Cafe for your Chinese food needs! I want to pitch a tent on Forbes and never go anywhere again...Do you think maybe they'll let me live there?
Sushi!!!! – Taiwan cafe recently added sushi to their menu!! The price is great......although I don't like raw fish, I can find cooked fish on their menu, SO I LOVE the cooked salmon with cream cheese! I also LOVE the Spicy Buffalo Roll! The sushi is attractively presented, and it tastes great! the Spider Roll is great too! There are lots of items on the menu, I really recommend this restaurant to anybody.
Best Bubble Tea in Pittsburgh! – Hands down, Taiwan Cafe has the best bubble tea in Pittsburgh. I have tried bubble tea in over ten restaurants across four states and Taiwan Cafe is definitely tied for first with a drink establishment in San Diego.

Part of the Auto Feeding Company (AFC) will withdraw from the events of the annual Automech Formula Exhibition (AFE), set to take place in the Cairo International Conference Center (CICC) from 12 to 17 March.
Ali Tawfiq, Chairman of the Egyptian Auto Feeders Association (EAFA), confirmed to Daily News Egypt that 12 AFC subsidiaries have asked to participate in AFE, but some companies decided not to participate, after a fire that broke out in the CICC.
Tawfiq stated that five subsidiaries decided not to participate in the AFE events as the fire reached the section that was dedicated to the AFC, estimated at 100 metres. Moreover, security procedures were not provided to the companies.
Last week, a fire broke out in one of CICC’s buildings. It was controlled in four hours by fire station forces and armed forces aircrafts.

Are AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows coming to WWE?
The sports-entertainment world has been buzzing this week with speculation that WWE has signed four massive international Superstars.
Numerous media outlets reported Monday that AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Karl Anderson and Luke “Doc” Gallows — most recently of New Japan Pro Wrestling — are in negotiations to compete under the WWE banner.
The office of WWE COO and EVP of Talent Relations Triple H declined to comment on the rumors for WWE.com.
Reports began circulating late Sunday that all four had reportedly given their notices to New Japan management. Fueling the rumors that Styles, Nakamura, Anderson and Gallows were WWE-bound was a series of tweets involving reigning NXT Champion Finn Bálor.
Until recently, Styles, Gallows and Anderson were all part of New Japan’s Bullet Club faction, a stable formerly led by Bálor when he wrestled in Japan under the alias Prince Devitt. For months, Bálor has made it clear that he’s still tight with The Bullet Club members, even tweeting photos of them wearing his “Bálor Club” T-shirts. On Monday, Bálor stirred the pot again, tweeting an image of Anderson sporting trunks that bore Finn’s “demon” design. Additionally, the official Twitter account for The Bullet Club tweeted the NXT Champion Monday, telling him to keep more Bálor Club shirts on hand in case they need them. That tweet has since been deleted.
Bálor's hints about his former stablemates continued Wednesday when he Instagrammed a photo of himself wearing a Bullet Club shirt and holding open the door of the WWE Performance Center.
The addition of Styles, Nakamura, Anderson and Gallows would represent one of the most significant bulk talent acquisitions in WWE history.
Nicknamed “The Phenomenal One,” Styles twice held New Japan’s IWGP Heavyweight Championship, the organization’s top title. He competed on the national scene in the United States for well over a decade, dating back to the latter days of WCW, and is universally hailed for his multi-tooled attack in the ring.
Though not a member of The Bullet Club, Nakamura remains one of the most popular wrestlers outside of WWE. Displaying a flamboyant charisma comparable to Freddie Mercury, but possessing the brutal strikes of an elite fighter, Nakamura roomed with Daniel Bryan years ago in California when both were early into their sports-entertainment careers. During media tours for last year’s WrestleMania, Bryan even revealed he once proposed an inter-promotional match against Nakamura to WWE management.
Gallows and Anderson co-held New Japan’s tag team titles on three occasions. Additionally, Gallows competed in WWE from 2007 to 2010, while Anderson is a former tag team partner of WWE Performance Center Head Coach Matt Bloom.

CNN senior White House correspondent Jeff Zeleny took to Twitter to falsely claim that President Trump has gone “at least a week” without answering questions on anything in the news.
Zeleny tweeted: “President Trump waves, but declines to answer questions on south lawn of White House today as he heads to Florida for a campaign rally tonight. It marks at least a week that he’s gone without answering questions about his Tweets or anything else in the news.”
President Trump waves, but declines to answer questions on south lawn of White House today as he heads to Florida for a campaign rally tonight. It marks at least a week that he’s gone without answering questions about his Tweets or anything else in the news.
— Jeff Zeleny (@jeffzeleny) July 31, 2018
In what the White House Press office called the “FAKE NEWS OF THE DAY,” the office released a statement yesterday calling out the problem with Zeleny’s claim.
“Today, CNN’s Jeff Zeleny falsely claimed President Trump hasn’t answered questions on the news in ‘at least a week,’” the statement read. “TIME FLIES: Where has the week gone? Just yesterday, President Trump fielded questions from reporters at a joint press conference with Prime Minister Conte of Italy.
Zeleny’s claim that the president hasn’t taken questions in ‘at least a week’ comes just a day after he answered reporters’ questions at a joint press conference. Trump answered questions from reporters on a wide range of topics, including immigration, NATO, the economy and trade.
The White House also pointed out the unfortunate bout of amnesia Zeleny appears to be suffering from.
“If CNN needs to fact-check the last time President Trump took questions, they might want to look back at their own coverage of yesterday’s press conference,” the White House statement continued. “Or, Zeleny can check back with his own notes from the press conference given he was there.”
The office released a screenshot image of CNN’s coverage of the press conference with reporters and Prime Minister Conte.


Alcohol, sex, opioid, gambling addictions have been around for centuries but the latest and possibly more dangerous addiction is the one we have to screens. These screens are not only a portal to other cravings but also an obsession in themselves.
Tearing ourselves away from the time consuming, eye wearying, mind-reductive lifestyle with screens dominating our personal time will require a sizeable and deliberate effort on our part.
Today, almost everything we do shackles us to the screens.
- Communication (official and personal) – mobile / laptop
- Reading – Kindle
- Shopping – mobile screen
- Binge watching, entertainment, news, gaming, information, research – mobile / TV / Ipad
- Social media (active or passive modes) – mobile
It leaves the truly experiential outside the realm of the screens. So what can we do that gives us some respite from the glowing devices that surround and drown us?
To begin with, let’s put that device aside and look at the alternatives that lie before us.
- Traveling – When you’re on the move, trekking, hiking, cycling, driving, walking is when you’re forced to be in the moment and take in what the world around us has to offer.
- Watching sunsets and sunrises – What better treat for the senses?
- Physical activities that are completely immersive and sensory like playing a sport, exercising, cooking, painting, dancing, singing, theatre, pottery, arts and crafts, renovating, gardening, pets. There is enough and more if we make a conscious choice to engage with our immediate environment, resources and people.
- Reading books – Not only does it give you a window into new worlds, situations and characters, it acts as a catalyst for the imagination.
- Physical gatherings – Sitting physically across people and communicating or collaborating with them is far more gratifying, personal and rewarding. We have all seen how intimacy is being eroded and increasingly avoided by the new generation.
Clearly, there is no dearth of things we can do and yet, speaking for myself, I have just spent an hour putting this blog together on a screen! I’ll consider meditating for a bit to give my eyes some rest and then struggle to make a choice between watching the next episode of ‘Dopesick’ on Netflix or prepare some mutton broth. Oh, the irony! These conflicts are simple, intense and real but the more mindful I am about them, the more I realise the need for loosening the hold ‘screens’ have over me.
Stepping away, even for short periods, allows us to become more available to ourselves and acknowledge our thoughts and dreams. A space where we can breathe in the quiet. Eventually, it is all about ensuring balance in our lives where we strive to enjoy the best of both worlds, on screen and away from it.

Daniel Haqiqatjou is the founder of Alasna Institute and the Muslim Skeptic which is in online course and podcast that implores Muslims to fortify Islamic values amidst the onslaught of secularization. According to his biography on Muslim Skeptics, he has lectured at traditional madrasas and Muslim institutes including AlMaghrib Institute. He was featured as a regular columnist for Muslimatters.com and served as the first Director of Research for Scientism for the Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research in 2016.
In post entitled ‘Why Are So Many Far-Right Extremists Converting to Islam?,’ he comments on Europe’s white-nationalists co-opting the term Sharia to describe their political goals. Daniel wrote on his Facebook:
The far-right is definitely sympathetic to Islamic values, as I have written before. So much of the right-wing consists of people who are sick and tired of leftist cultural project that pushes feminism, homosexuality, and cross-dressing on society and labels whomever does not embrace that filth with smiles and rainbow pins as a fascist. People are tired of this garbage.In terms of online white supremacist culture, you even have the most hardcore neo-Nazi’s calling for “White Sharia.” This might seem counter intuitive, but it makes perfect sense. The Sharia is the antidote to so many of modernity’s social ills: debased sexual promiscuity, the collapse of marriage, the annihilation of the family institution, the erosion of gender roles, the disappearance of male authority, etc. These white supremacists correctly identify Sharia as the cure of this cancer.”
This is not the idea behind their using the term at all. It is funny how despite such a strident stance against postmodernism he fails to recognize or allows for this textbook example of the postmodern usage of the term Sharia. Daniel Haqiqatitjou’s public excoriations are ripe with hypocrisies. He often rails against the evils of post-modern interpretations by Leftist Muslims but makes a concession with white nationalists’ appropriation of terms like Shariah. This exemplifies postmodernism’s rejection of formal definition and tradition.
Only the thickheaded would miss the irony of an openly anti-Islamic and anti-Muslim immigrant faction whose political platform is almost exclusively to prevent Sharia from taking over Europe using the term. Daniel seems flattered that white supremacist’s are appropriating Islamic terminolgy to signify their racial nationalism. His conciliatory words encapsulate what is wrong with the Right: They tend to endorse socially conservative issues and the expense of life-altering political policies. The social conservatism of the Right that Daniel is so enamored by is part of a larger net that includes racism (specifically anti-black), xenophobia (specifically against Muslims), and unilateral foreign policies. It is foolish in the least to think that solidarity with such groups is possible let alone desirable. But there is another issue.
He is unconcerned how this endorsement could harm the credibility of Islam and Muslims in the African-American community where Islam has had the greatest momentum but also conscientious people of all races who abhor the malicious nature of the Right. Haqiqatjou’s “Islam” would existentially clash with the native Islamic tradition that opposes oppression. He only reject what he sees as the race-activism of African-American Islam but hopeful of there being an ultra-rightwing counterpart that would shroud itself in white nationalism.
There is more to Haqiqatjou’s double standard on race vis-a-vis Islam. His pursuit of a white conservative American Muslim ideal is couched in the moral crusader language that originated in the Evangelical Protestant movement in the late-eighteenth century. In my article entitled ‘The Rise of the Akhi Right’ I detail the ‘traditional-values’ platform of Conservative politics in the U.S. It lays out how this pietistic view casts racial disparities as solely moral failures of the individual. There are practical consequences to this. If we absolutize the will of the individual then we are pitting the individual against the apparatuses of the state. This makes a mockery of personal agency for it exempts institutions, their functionaries, and policymakers of accountability and standards of justice while transferring the full weight of the conditions of social, political, and economic conditions of the country to the individual. Prioritizing issues that can be addressed at a personal or cultural level over and above issues that practically can only be addressed by the judicial and political system severely hamstring both the individual will and the possibilities within a culture to overcome its own pathologies. Homosexuality and transgenderism can be addressed by the individual or within the individual’s culture but the abuse of state power, corruption, corporate and government malfeasance need the heft of the formal and heavily funded agencies. Communitarian politics must have on their platform issues that affect whites and non-whites alike such as the prison/military-industrial complex, redlining, tax subsidies, police misconduct, DFCS, judicial and penal reform, and civil liberties.
Haqiqatjou and Critical Race Theory
Curiously, why does Daniel feel that white nationalists are acting in good faith here but opposes, say, critical race theory as part of a liberal-postmodern-Marxist threat to Muslim unity and epistemological purity? His charge that Critical Race Theory is “epistemologically un-Islamic” is because it was not developed by the Ulema, religious scholars is spurious. How hypocritical for the proponents in the akhi-right to not be not epistemologically pure but they are founded on ideas that are not only alien but contradictory to Islam. These being: Protestant pietism, unrestrained capitalism, and correspondence theory of truth. Protestant pietism is a submovement within American religion that began with the Lutherans in Germany and spread to the U.S. where it took full expression during the Second Great Awakening. It emphasizes personal righteousness as independent of systemic and structural modules. What makes pietists peculiar is that they believe that they must be active in politics to purge society of sin but they regulate “sin” to personal vices and indecency. Their idea of sin does not include victimizing the poor through policies that directly contribute to widening the wealth gap and raising the poverty line. They often attribute large numbers of impoverished to moral failing even while holding the contradictory stance that charity to the poor is virtuous. This is their link to capitalism and partisan politics. As Paul Kleppner stated “the more pietistic the group’s outlook the more intensely Republican its partisan affiliation.” The problem with pietism which is then the problem with the akhi-right is that by redirecting formal politics to only address the individual’s inner struggle with sin we neglect the institutional practices that obstruct righteous living. The irony here is that this is precisely the “opiate of the masses” kind of religion that Marx spoke of and which Islam in its prophetic form does not qualify. Daniel is unable to see that the licentiousness on which he and others are myopically focused is constructed by White Western civilization, propagated in the world due to its status as a hegemon, and how the liberation theology of the Black Muslim Tradition has a longer history combating social ills while maintaining a critical disposition toward systemic and structural racism.
Positing black initiatives combating the existential threats of anti-black racism as un-Islamic by some mythical standard of religious purity is a pseudo-argument that itself reeks of racism. Upon further examination of Haqiqatjou’s hypocrisy we learn that he is totally comfortable with using secular-atheist critical theorists to challenge false universals like scientific objectivism which is the basis for many arguments against the existence of God. On his Muslim Skeptic website, https://muslimskeptic.com/, Haqiqatjou recommends the following authors as a resource for critiquing modernism: Paul Feyerabend, Lorraine Dotson, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. Haqiqatjou writes about book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn which explains Feyerabend’s philosophy incommensurability:
Haqiqatjou recommends Lorraine Datson’s Objectivity and essays on natural law.
His endorsements of these authors and philosophers is that they are quintessentially secularist. Feyerabend rejects any religious or metaphysical category of the soul and proposes that we adopt a materialist perspective of the mind. He is considered a pioneer in anarchism. Wittgenstein and Datsan subscribed to the postmodern view that rejects an objective truth. In addition to their views they were homosexual and their homosexuality fit neatly within their post-religious ideation of truth and morality. And it is not just them but he recommends Stanley Cavell and William Craige Lane who is on record disparaging Islam and the Islamic concept of God as insufficiently compassionate.
What Haqiqatjou is saying is that it is ok to ignore so-called epistemological purity when it comes to fights that he deems worthy; if it can affect a certain outcome that he desires? Otherwise, why Feyerabend and not Marx? Why Wittgenstein and not Foucault? Why Datson and not Fanon? And why are any of the people on Haqiqatjou’s recommended reading list “Islamically ok” but not Derrick Bell and Critical Race Theory? The most egregious element about this double standard is that it downgrades the importance of justice and the fight for human rights of the Muslim community’s largest single demographic–African-Americans. Haqiqatjou feels that religious polemics are more valuable than black peoples’ lives and so anything that could be in service of proving racial discrimination and malice by state and corporate entities must be stringently evaluated and approved by a coterie of self-appointed gatekeepers while whatever helps him score points in debates with secularists and ex-Muslims sanctioned by “a means justify the ends” policy.
Haqiqatjou’s racial bias born out of a moral conservatism focused on sexual politics. An assocation fallacy is used to discredit critical race theory. The association fallacy is a common ploy they use to discredit the theory. Of course they can not explain how de jure racism was combated without referencing the methods used in Critical Race Theory nor can they prove that civil rights legislation eradicated de facto racism. Like Haqiqatjou they present Critical Race Theory as posing some vague threat to the iman of Muslims. This strawman critique has drawn them the most criticism. Anti-critical race theorist proponents in the Muslim community assert that Critical Race Theory is a Trojan horse for LGBT, Marxist, post-modern, and liberal agendas. Their reasoning is that since Critical Race Theory was created by Derrick Bell who was influenced by Critical Theory which was influenced by Marxism and postmodernism and that gays and lesbians have also used Critical Theory and Critical Race Theory then Critical Race Theory is Marxist, postmodern, and endorses LGBT activist and feminist. Association does not imply foundation. Two marginalized groups can use the same methods for combating marginalization while being politically at odds. Furthermore, these conservative Muslims seeking solidarity with the far-right would be engaging in a kind of apostasy since the conservative policies have shifted from issues of sexuality to issues of homeland security. Donald Trump did not run on a gay ban. He ran on a Muslim ban.
There is a consistent retort by these individuals that attacking or even acknowledging white supremacy makes one “leftist” or “liberal” and that combating white supremacy should not be a focus of Muslims. They think Critical Race Theory and all other critical analysis of racism harms Islam more than the policies of the American Right they endorse which criminalize Muslims and Islam. They ignore that white supremacy was the reason enslaved African Muslims could not transgenerationally transmit Islam. It’s the reason Omar Ibn Said was forced to identify as Christianity in his slave biography. It’s the reason Phylis Wheately originally a Fulani Muslim woman was forcibly converted to Christianity by white slave masters. Despite white supremacy’s track record of actually disrupting the practice of Islam in this country first with slavery and today with anti-terrorism none of these far-right Muslims focus on white supremacy as an actual threat Muslims.
Professor Shareef Muhammad has taught history at Georgia State University and Islamic studies at Spelman University. He has a masters in history at Kent State University with his thesis on The Cultural Jihad in the antelbellum South: How Muslim slaves preserved their religious/cultural identity during slavery. He is the Director of Research for Black Dawah Network.

Finals ambassadors Erin Cuthbert and Jo Love are excited to welcome WU19 EURO to their native Scotland.
Article top media content
"Make the most of it" is the advice from 2019 UEFA European Women's Under-19 Championship ambassadors Erin Cuthbert and Jo Love to the young players who will follow in their footsteps in Scotland over the next fortnight.
With the tournament established as an important stepping stone on the path to a career in football, both Cuthbert and Love urged this year's finalists to experience it to the fullest. "My youth career went so quickly," said Cuthbert, fresh from playing for Scotland at the FIFA Women's World Cup at the age of 20.
"You need to keep focused, work hard and enjoy the healthy competition. You're playing against the best players in Europe. You have to relish that opportunity and enjoy every single minute of it."
Love, who like fellow midfielder Cuthbert played for Scotland in their first two senior final tournaments at UEFA Women's EURO 2017 and the World Cup just gone, added: "I would just have to say: 'Embrace it!'.
"The World Cup was a brand-new experience for us as well. Everyone kept telling me that I needed to go and enjoy it and soak it all in. So, as much as it might be hard to do that, that's the advice that I'm going to pass on to the younger ones – try to live every minute and really enjoy what you're doing."
While both Cuthbert and Love represented Scotland at U19 level, neither featured at a final tournament. However Cuthbert, who scored the 2018/19 UEFA Women's Champions League goal of the season in Chelsea's run to the semi-finals, played a key role in qualifying for the 2017 WU19 finals. "The U19s was really good, a stepping stone for me to transition to senior level," she said.
"I captained them in the elite round and we scored an injury-time winner against the Republic of Ireland, a penalty. It was just incredible, we celebrated so much and we ended up qualifying for the finals. For me, that was the best feeling and it felt like I just had the world at my feet at that point. That was literally my last ball for the U19s as I played at EURO 2017 for the seniors, so it was nice to end it all on a high."
Love, who has nearly 200 caps and plays for perennial Scottish champions Glasgow City, certainly hopes the Women's U19 EURO will make a big impact in Scotland: "It's wonderful and the timing is perfect as well, just after our first World Cup. To be able to come back from that and have something else to look forward to, everything's looking good and positive."

You must be the change you want to see in the world. –Mahatma Gandhi
I don’t usually post on Tuesdays, but I wanted to share an open letter to Janet who wrote the following in response to my post on March 8th “Breaking News“:
“Does a blog make you a good designer or guru? I don’t think so… How does this change interior design?”
Janet, thanks so much for your thought-provoking questions.
I do not think that having a blog makes me a good designer or a guru. Having several years of interior design education (and the resultant certification on the wall), as well as many years of experience in the interior design industry makes me a good interior designer. Listening to clients and helping them design their homes to be a reflection of who they are and how they live, that makes me a good interior designer. But writing a blog, not so much.
Fact is I did not call myself an interior design guru. The fine folks at builddirect.com did. Guru is such a strange-sounding word, is it not? Just after it came out, I tweeted with several others on builddirect.com’s list and we all shared one common thought – we all felt a little funny about being called interior design gurus. Here’s why. We just love talking about interior design, sharing what we know and helping other people. Follow any of us on Twitter and you won’t find a more down to earth, real and passionate group. It’s my privilege to know them.
A blog is just another vehicle to share that love of interior design with other people. I was an English major in college and I love to write. So why not write about what I see? And if I didn’t write, I wouldn’t have the opportunity to meet someone like you who asks me the difficult questions. You have made me think. Isn’t that great?
Here’s Rob’s reason for listing me as one of builddirect.com’s interior designers. I think he says it all far better than I.
“Catherine! Thanks so much for the link to/re-printing my article. Thanks for your work, not only as a designer, but as a proponent of social media, too. It’s one of the reasons you made our list.
I hope this is the start of a cooperative relationship on Twitter and here on our blogs, too. The more voices we have singing from the same hymn book the better. This is the kind of cooperative effort in promoting the Good Guys so as to make online experiences so much better for peers, and for customers/clients, too.
In answer to your second question, I think that social media is changing the way we communicate about interior design.
First we had the mystery – what do interior designers do anyway? Oooooh…no one will say. And how do they charge for their services? Or I could never afford a fancy interior designer, could you?
Then we had the myth – but they can do a room on HGTV for $100 in one day! Hey, interior designer, why can’t you do that for me? You have got to be kidding me. Talk about a way to confuse our interior design clients. And thus we have had to enter the education process. The real one – myths and mystery debunked. What better way to explain it all than through social media?
So here it is – the metamorphosis of interior design. Who are we? What do we do? Bring on transparent pricing. Let’s face it. Today’s consumer is savvy. Think they don’t know how to go online and find out what that Louis XVI chair really costs? Think again.
So why not help consumers through all of the myth and the mystery? Why not use social media as a tool to help people understand the real value interior designers provide? I have never forgotten Charlotte Moss’ comment about people’s assumption that interior designers just run around all day in their Manolo Blahniks. It’s just not true. Thank you Charlotte for a good, though a bit painful, laugh early on in my interior design career…
We’re all just trying to make interior design a little more understandable and a lot more accessible. Why not be the change we want to see in the world? Think about it.
I love to hear from you. What do you dream of changing in the world? Where would you start? Maybe, you already have…and how great is that! Let me know.

What our guest have to say:
This was our 3rd stay at The Point Villas and as always our hosts Peg and Brian were most gracious and accommodating for any and every request that we had. This property is an immaculate, private and spacious retreat that offers breath taking views and the peace and tranquility of this private gated estate is spectacular. Attention to detail is impeccable, For our stay we were treated to home made shortbread and granola to mention just a couple of the thoughtful little touches. Their newest addition, the Magna solar heated lap pool, made for the perfect 5 star experience. Peg and Brian, thank you. We will be back again soon.
Great accommodation and wonderful area, with the peace and quiet making it so relaxing.
First light glimmers on Lake Taupo as we slip into the silent, bracing water. We are alone, but for a fantail performing a merry dance. Read the full article.
The Point has practical and luxury facilities you could find anywhere in the world but it has one very big extra – it is in a clean, unspoiled and natural environment.
An alternative to staying at a luxury lodge while retaining accommodation and servicing options at the same level of indulgence and seclusion.
For guests, the challenge is deciding which of the two Villas to stay in. Villa One (Tatamoana), the lower dwelling, has the expansive lake vistas & wraparound deck, while Villa Two (Ngahere) seems more spacious and on two levels
I was fortunate enough to meet Peg, the proprietress of The Point Villas in Taupo New Zealand on our recent trip to New Zealand. The Point Villas is an incredible piece of paradise that should meet the needs of any discerning traveler. Peg’s attention to detail (this included freshly made pancake mix ready for our breakfast), and her willingness to personally be there to meet all our needs and answer any queries, makes me happy to highly recommend The Point Villas as a travel destination for fellow travel associates.
Thank you very much for your hospitality over the last few days. Even though the weather didn’t play its part fully we had a lovely time and you have a beautiful property in a great location. Once again many thanks for making us feel so welcome. We look forward to visiting the Point Villas again on our next trip to your part of the world.
What a wonderful retreat, so peaceful and beautiful… We couldn’t have asked for anything more. To be surrounded by tropical birds and a small waterfall whilst bathing was delightful, private and peaceful. Thank you for making us so welcome in your beautiful home.
Thank you for nice and beautiful house. We enjoyed you and this house. New Zealand is my favourite country. How I love it! I am sure we will come back again. I told to my husband “I don’t want to rent this but I want to buy.
The Point Villas are located in a tranquil and secure gated environment a short 10 minute drive from Taupo. My initial impressions upon entering the villa were sheer excitment and delight given the quality of the decor and the stunning view with the infinity pool in the foreground. The secure environment provides a fantastic location for a family break given the number of activities available such as kayaking on the lake (and being able to view the stunning Maori carvings), walks along the lake foreshore, tennis, fishing swimming, etc, etc.
A real highlight of the stay was a hot bath on a rainy afternoon with full floor to ceiling glass windows overlooking the lake and native bush – lovely.
All needs where fully catered for and if anything was required the friendly and helpful hosts were only too happy to address your needs.
We enjoyed the stay so much, we changed our travel plans to enable us to stay another night.

ICYMI: Danilo Gallinari opened up about the night COVID-19 interrupted the NBA, and its impact on him as an Italian. “I ended up staying awake until like three or four in the morning because I was hoping to get some news from our team, or from the NBA. By the time everybody started waking up in Italy, my phone went even crazier. But those people — family and friends back home — they didn’t ask me what was going on.
They knew all about it. They’d been living it for weeks.”
ICYMI: DT’s Alex Mcewan on a big “what if” from 2016: The Shimmy Shot. “Several two-word phrases or terms correlate with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Loud City, Triple-Double, Jones Fracture, Meniscus Tear, Two-Way Contract, etc. None resonate more than what if. What if Kevin Durant never broke his foot? What if Patrick Beverly never injured Russell Westbrook’s knee?
Today’s what if does not involve an injury. It pertains to one specific play that occurred four years ago, on February 27, 2016. Warriors superstar Steph Curry hit a half-court buzzer-beater to defeat the Thunder in OT. ESPN starlet Rachel Nichols said the shot changed the NBA. Daily Thunder guest scribe Stephen Dolan insists it did not. If one is wrong then the other must be right. It’s a great question that will never have an answer. With that, let’s imagine what might have changed because of Curry’s three-point marksmanship.”
2. Sam Presti, Oklahoma City Thunder
“He’s had his major hiccups in the past, but Sam Presti has proven time and time again that he is a brilliant executive. When he’s backed into a corner, he somehow manages to get himself out of it. He also somehow makes himself look smarter when he comes out on the other side. This time, Presti has made himself look about as brilliant as he’s ever been.
He already did everything that a smart executive would do in his position this past summer. He blew up the squad and squeezed every asset he could out of Russell Westbrook and Paul George. He has his point guard of the future. He has plenty of draft assets at his disposal to cement a new era. The only catch was eating Chris Paul’s contract. Who knew that wouldn’t be much of a catch?
Even through all of that, he managed to assemble possibly the most entertaining Thunder team since the Kevin Durant days.”
Ryan Novozinksy (Daily Thunder) grades Lu Dort’s rookie season here. “In a strange way, Dort embodies the Oklahoma City Thunder season. He had a solid season last year in college that wasn’t enough, so he decided to shake things up and work even harder this year. Now he’s become one of the best underdog stories in the NBA. He’s a great fit in Billy Donovan’s system who should be a fan favorite for years to come.”
Stay safe, all you cool cats and kittens.


Prince Harry and Meghan Markle release first photo of Lilibet on Christmas card
Join the Secret Elves to get first access to our exclusive reviews of the must-have products this year.
The long-awaited first photography of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's new daughter has finally been released on their Christmas card.
Harry and Meghan have chosen the festive season to show their daughter to the world, months after she was born in June this year.
The card shows the Duke and Duchess of Sussex with Lilibet and her big brother Archie posing for a lovely family portrait for the first time.
This is the first time Lilibet has been seen since she was born on June 4 this year at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital.
On their Archewell website, the card was posted with a message that read: "Happy holidays from our Archewell Family to yours."
The card also highlighted the charities the couple work with and added: "In your honour, Archewell has made donations this year to several organisations working tirelessly to uplift families around the world."
Last year, Harry and Meghan shared their first US Christmas card following their move to California.
The card showed Harry and Meghan with Archie playing with the couple’s two dogs, Pula and Guy, at the family's home in Montecito.
Royal fans puzzled by Harry and Meghan's donation to Montecito ‘borderline trashy’ event
The photo was taken by Meghan's mum Doria Ragland and was edited into a 'painting' style.
A royal expert had predicted the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would use a photo of Lilibet on their Christmas card.
Expert Neil Sean made the prediction after stating the release of a photo of Lilibet on the card would be for “maximum impact”.
Royal fans back up 'terrified' Queen's fear of Kate and William dying in helicopter
He also stated that Harry and Meghan ‘noticed’ a decline in the interest in their daughter.
Prior to the release of the card, Sean claimed: “They feel and their advisers feel that if they do release a picture, they will be invading their own privacy, something they've rallied against.
“For me, I think this is ridiculous. If they were to put a picture on social media, a lot of people would be pleased to see the child, they're all interested but as each month passes, interest diminishes.

"They're now looking for an opportunity to introduce Lilibet Diana to the world. As we know, we haven't seen a Christmas card but perhaps they're waiting for maximum impact."
Prince Harry and Meghan are expected to celebrate at home in the US, while other members of the Royal Family spend it with the Queen at Sandringham.
However, recent reports suggest many of the usual traditions could be cancelled following fears over Omicron.

You probably already know that MisterMigs.Com designs, produces, and sells Seriously Cool Dog Gear, best described as Funky, Fun and Functional. But you might not know that the people behind the products are also seriously cool, funky, and fun.
As a mentor at Mister Migs, I have worked with several members of a team of young adults with developmental disabilities, specifically those on the Autism Spectrum Disorder, as they perfected and prepared products for the market. If you have never tapped into the creative mind of a teenager with Asperger’s Syndrome, a high-functioning form of autism, you are missing a fantastic treat. These kids overflow with creativity, talent, and potential, and those I worked with demanded perfection from the Mister Migs line of products. They want the best; they expect the best; and they will do anything — and I do mean anything — to ensure the customer receives the best.
I’m a writer and an artist, yet I found myself learning a great deal from the team behind Mister Migs. They would often question my choice of phrases, suggesting something more hip, more cool, something with some juice to it. One young man told me, “You need to remember we are seriously cool and so is Mister Migs.”
Oh! How they broke the barriers for me!
I came home from Tucker, Georgia, and Mister Migs with a new word added to my vocabulary: swag. Yep, this old 50-something year-old woman now has an understanding of swag. If you don’t what it means, look up the line of Migrubbies dog apparel and you’ll see swag right before your eyes.
I’m the President of GFWC Georgia Tifton Twentieth Century Library Club, and my Club President’s Special Project is Autism/Asperger’s. I hope to work with the team of young adults with developmental disorders at MisterMigs.com again. They inspire me, challenge me, and fill me with joy. Autism is the fastest growing serious developmental disorder in the United States, and there is no cure for autism. It is here to stay. At MisterMigs.com they are addressing developmental disorders with a plan that excites the youth. It’s a win-win situation. At MisterMigs.com, teams are formed and creativity is born in a unique studio.
My dog, Brody, wears a Migrubbie collar that is a result of their creativity! He swags into the room, knowing he is one well-dressed canine when he is wearing something from the Migs line. And in return, Migs gives these teams of kids a place to grow, learn, create, and show their colors.


Exeter Chiefs wing Mark Foster hopes another good performance in the LV= Cup today will lead to an Aviva Premiership starting place.
Foster was a Chiefs try-scorer in their 42-15 win at London Welsh last weekend and he retains his place in an unchanged backs division for this evening's home clash with Ospreys.
However, Nic Sestaret will play at centre alongside Sam Hill, Jack Nowell reverts to the wing and Myles Dorrian takes over at full-back.
Foster said: "Hopefully, going forward, I will get a few more opportunities to play. It can be frustrating. You would not have got to this level if you were not competitive.
"We went out against a side that was not much different to the Premiership team last week and we put in a big performance. If we can do the same again, we can start asking questions about selection for the return to the Premiership."
Chiefs have made three front-row changes. Props Luke Cowan-Dickie and Hoani Tui and hooker Jack Yeandle come in. On the bench, Aly Muldowney, Ian Whitten and Josh Tatupu are recalled, the latter for the first time since he broke his ankle in September.
RaboDirect Pro 12 side Ospreys will pose a different challenge to London Welsh last weekend. The variety of opposition in the LV= Cup will help the younger members of Chiefs' squad.
Foster said: "Anything Anglo-Welsh is always fairly physical and there can be a little bit of niggle in there. They have got a lot of internationals so it will be a fantastic chance for some of the young guys to play against different styles of play.
"It's all very well playing and training for A League games, but guys need top-end competition to stay match sharp.
"This competition is a fantastic opportunity for some of the senior players to get a really good run-out as well as some of the younger guys, who all want to put their hand up for first-team places.
"After the result last weekend, hopefully we've given some of the coaches a real selection headache. The guys want to push on again and give another big performance this weekend."
Foster was pleased to show try-scoring form last weekend but he was keen to give team-mate Hill credit for his work in the build-up.
"It is always nice to get on the scoreboard and I probably could have got a few more, if I'm honest," said Foster.
"Sam did a fantastic job coming down the short side with a fairly outrageous dummy and it was a standard try in the corner for me. It was a real team performance and the young guys are really exciting to play around."
With the remarkable progress Chiefs have made under the guidance of head coach Rob Baxter and assistant Aly Hepher, one or two might fancy the Devon men to have a good season in the Cup.
But even after winning the A League competition last season, Chiefs will not allow themselves to dream of lifting more silverware, too soon.
Foster said: "We're really keen as a squad to attack on all fronts. We can go out and field quality teams in the Premiership, in Europe and in the A League.
"Going forward after last week, the Cup is something we feel we want to do well in. But we're not club who sit down at the start of the season and talk about winning this and that. We take every game at a time, then reassess again. Hopefully, that will lead to some progress in this competition."
Exeter Chiefs: Dorrian; Nowell, Sestaret, Hill, Foster; Slade, Poluleuligaga (capt); Cowan-Dickie, Yeandle, Tui; Welch, Carrick-Smith; Blanchet, Conlon, Ewers. Replacements: Clark, Moon, Brown, Muldowney, Simmonds, Coote, Tatupu, Whitten.

Morocco is a country known for its vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality. With countless cities and towns to choose from, travelers can easily get lost in the richness of the Moroccan experience. And while the allure of adventure often lies in discovering new places and expanding our horizons, sometimes the best way to truly immerse ourselves in a new culture is by taking some time to unwind and relax. That’s where the Moroccan riads come in.
A riad is a traditional Moroccan house or palace with an interior courtyard, typically converted into a small hotel. These stunningly beautiful interiors are often adorned with intricate mosaics, calming fountains, and fragrant gardens – the perfect setting for a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
One of the most appealing aspects of staying in a riad is the opportunity to experience Moroccan hospitality firsthand. From the moment you step through the door, the staff will welcome you with open arms and ensure that you enjoy a comfortable and relaxing stay. From complimentary mint tea to home-cooked meals, the service at a riad is unparalleled, providing a level of comfort that cannot be found elsewhere.
But while the relaxing atmosphere of a riad is certainly a key component in a restorative vacation, the sense of wanderlust that comes with visiting a new country is not lost. In fact, staying in a riad can often afford visitors the chance to explore lesser-known areas of a city, and access to the insider knowledge of locals.
With many riads located in some of Morocco’s oldest and most historic neighborhoods, a stay in one provides the opportunity to truly explore the culture and traditions of the country. From bustling souks filled with spices and textiles to ancient mosques and palaces, the streets surrounding a riad are full of sights and sounds that are not to be missed.
Of course, no stay in Morocco would be complete without exploring the country’s natural beauty. From the golden sand dunes of the Sahara to the lush greenery of the High Atlas Mountains, the country is home to some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world. A riad can often be the perfect jumping-off point for an adventure in the great outdoors, with guides and tour operators available to arrange everything from camel rides to trekking excursions.
In conclusion, staying in a Moroccan riad is the perfect combination of relaxation and wanderlust. With a focus on traditional hospitality and stunning interiors, these small hotels offer a restorative retreat from the stress of everyday life. At the same time, the chance to explore historic neighborhoods and breathtaking natural landscapes affords visitors the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the culture and traditions of Morocco. So whether you’re looking for a peaceful getaway or an adventure-filled vacation, a stay in a Moroccan riad may be just what you’re looking for.

As an institution within a major metropolitan area, Drexel University has lived through times of great divide within society; since its inception in 1891, both the university and its students (though sometimes, not at the same time) fought inequality and segregation in key historical turning points, such as the Civil Rights movement and other protests that took root in Philadelphia.
In 1967, the university planned to build its first dormitory to accommodate some students who wanted to stay close to the school instead of commuting and follow the West Philadelphia Corporation — created by Drexel and the University of Pennsylvania — goal to redevelop West Philadelphia and accomplish the higher goal of molding Philadelphia into an economic and industrial engine like it once was. This first building was set to be constructed on 33rd and Arch St., where there was a majority Black population that would have been displaced; specifically, 574 families would have been displaced, of whom 90 percent were minorities, according to James Wolfinger who wrote a chapter about race and Civil Rights in a book co-edited by Richardson Dilworth and Scott Knowles called “Building Drexel: The University and Its City.”
Students at the time realized the importance of community outreach and wellbeing, and decided to voice their concerns by forming a coalition named “East Powelton Concerned Residents.” This group of students and community residents protested to call for the university to see West Philadelphians as equals and not force them to leavee where they have lived their entire plans for University construction plans, The Triangle reported in 1967.
Penn and Temple students joined the protests that gained attention through revolutionary newspapers and by illegally occupying Drexel buildings. The East Powelton Concerned Residents organization was able to eventually get a meeting with Drexel University’s soon-to-be president William Haggerty. However, expansion continued.
These were not the only social issues Drexel faced at that time, and this movement of “liberation” found a cause tied to the West Philadelphia community to fight for Black rights and Black identity on campus. However, there was a concern regarding the lack of Black students within the student population.
In 1967, there were only 36 Black students attending the University, representing a mere 0.7 percent of the student population. But in 1970, that number grew to 302, representing 3.4 percent of the student body. Although some reports say that this jump was because the school began to report its evening classes enrollments in 1969, the climate became more hostile since this increase.
Students were beginning to complain about their peers performing in blackface for talent shows according to articles published by The Triangle in the late 1940s and 1950s. Many students were writing that the school made them feel “invisible.” That to fit in they felt pressured into “dressing white middle-class, acting, and even talking white middle class.” By “the second year at Drexel,” wrote Regina Arnold in The Triangle, “you become bitter about the whole scene.” Black students received 16 hours a week of airtime on the school’s radio station for “The Black Experience in Music,” and the glee club had significant African-American representation. But overall, “No student organization makes any attempt to enfranchise the members of the Black student population,” wrote one reporter.
Even in 1968, wrote another reporter, Drexel had only a few black employees, and almost all worked in “menial jobs.” There was no African-American history class, no Black faculty members, no authors of color on campus. For many Black students whose “experience has been sheltered, meaning you’ve dealt almost exclusively with Blacks,” wrote one woman, “the transition that is made in coming to a place like Drexel University can be a living hell.”
One of the first actions taken to combat the small Black population at Drexel was the formation of the Afro-American Society. This organization was tasked with holding informational seminars for African Americans to push them to attend Drexel, in addition to holding lectures that educated participants on Black culture and power, as The Triangle reported in 1968 and 1969. The Afro-American Society was also used as a platform to voice the concerns of the small, but powerful Black population; they ultimately pushed Drexel executives and administration to hire more Black professors, add more African American history classes to its curriculum, and admit enough Black students to substantiate a 10 percent Black student population.
Despite the robust attempts to change Drexel’s stance on inclusion, little was done to appease the Black students at the time. The growing tension between white and Black students ceased the administration’s initiatives to appeal to the Black student population’s concerns. According to Wolfinger, Dilworth and Knowles: “critiques of the school angered some white students and pushed the administration in halting ways to be more attentive to black needs.”
We are now in 2021, living during historic times. Over the summer of 2020, during the Black Lives Matter protests, Drexel had numerous statements and incidents regarding the situation and there were many controversies about the university’s involvement in the civil unrest that took place multiple times in Philadelphia.
As protests against racial injustice were ongoing, Drexel’s Police Department was involved in a big incident on 52nd Street. People started marching from 33rd & Market St, Mario’s location, towards the University of Pennsylvania’s police building. Students, alumni and faculty, along with members of multiple organizations were protesting on May 31, 2020, when DUPD was seen committing acts of police brutality on 52nd street in a predominantly Black neighborhood, The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote.
“One officer was photographed holding the arm of an individual. According to an investigation into that incident, the officer was assisting the individual, who was in need of medical attention,” according to a statement posted by Drexel University on July 28, 2020. Two days later, on July 30, 2020, Drexel posted another statement, “Correction and Apology: Drexel Police Activity on May 31,” saying that “the Drexel officer was attending to the individual after he had been handcuffed by Philadelphia Police.” Penn and Drexel’s students and officers on the universities’ campuses called for defunding the colleges’ police departments, The Inquirer reported.
Drexel was part of another controversy regarding the presence of the National Guard on campus. This situation created unrest among Drexel students amid the protests against racial injustice and police brutality, according to a Triangle article written by Jason Sobieski.
The majority of Drexel students were not pleased with the situation and immediately contacted the administration. President Fry disclosed that The Armory is the property of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania making Drexel unable to refuse Mayor Kenny’s request.
“I acknowledge the anger, frustration, pain and, frankly, fear that was caused by seeing National Guard vehicles on or close to our campus,” Fry said in an email statement sent on the following days. “Drexel is not condoning violence against peaceful protestors.”
During a period of civil unrest for the United States and the rest of the world, Drexel students got involved in multiple anti-racist actions.
Student Tianna Williams is the only undergraduate student co-chair that is part of the Anti-Racism Task Force created at Drexel University, a DrexelNow article wrote. She is the president of the Drexel Black Action Committee (DBAC), a member of the National Society of Black Engineers as well as a student ambassador for the Student Center for Diversity and Inclusion. The student was named the Face of Change at Drexel University due to her constant hard work and effort put into multiple organizations that fight for social justice.
“I think it gave us and other Black students, Black faculty and staff, [the ability] to really turn the eyes on the University and be like, ‘You know, this is just part of a larger issue of systemic racism,’” she said. The student is hopeful and fighting to introduce multiple anti-racist changes among the university’s policies.
The Black Lives Matter movement also made the University create the Anti-Racism Task Force and the Center for Black Culture. The university promises multiple greater anti-racism efforts and to become better partners and stronger advocates on anti-racism. “Sharde [Johnson] will lead a steering committee to develop the Center’s mission and ensure that it serves as a home to all Drexel students, faculty and professional staff, while increasing knowledge of the people, histories and culture of the African diaspora and its many contributions to the world,” Fry said in a statement announcing the creation of CBC. People interested in The Center for Black Culture should contact [email protected].
To not let the movement die and keep engaged in these social causes, there has been a lot of advocacy for social change among Drexel students through social media.
The Instagram account @blackatdrexel is a space for students of color to make anonymous confessions of instances where they were victims of racist aggressions or microaggressions on campus. This account was created on July 1st by a student who saw similar accounts created on Penn and Temple’s campuses. Another account that gained a lot of traction on Instagram is @drexelforjustice. The creators of the account frequently post about Drexel’s effect on West Philadelphia due to gentrification, defunding Drexel University Police Department and multiple other social justice causes. They organized multiple online and physical events over the summer to express their advocacy goals.
Additionally, the DBAC as well as Drexel Black Student Association organized multiple events over the summer in an effort to inform and educate people about racial injustice and police brutality against the Black community.


As an important component of urban infrastructure, the research on corrosion and anti-corrosion technology of water supply network has been paid close attention. Metal pipe has the advantages of high strength and low price. There are a lot of cast iron pipe and steel pipe in water supply network system.
As far as our country is concerned, the proportion of cast iron pipe, ductile iron pipe, steel pipe and other metal pipes in the current water supply system is about 90%. In the foreign pipe network system, the proportion of cast iron pipe and steel pipe and other metal pipes is relatively high: about 53% in Poland, 56% in the United States, and more than 65% in Italy. Among them, steel pipe and cast iron pipe account for the highest proportion in large cities. In Warsaw and sbruck, for example, steel pipes and cast iron pipes account for 91% and 93% respectively.
The inner wall of water supply pipeline contacts with the transmission medium. After a long time of operation, the environmental medium transported continuously impacts and erodes the inner wall of the pipeline, and has complex physical, chemical and biological reactions with the inner wall of the pipeline, resulting in continuous corrosion of the pipe wall. The corrosion products produced in this process accumulate continuously on the inner surface of the pipeline and form nodules.
On the one hand, it hinders the water delivery of the pipeline, resulting in the decline of the water delivery capacity of the pipeline and the increase of the energy consumption required in the water delivery process; on the other hand, the continuous corrosion of the pipeline will cause the inner wall of the pipeline to become thinner, and the pipeline strength will become lower, and even lead to the pipeline perforation and cracking, resulting in the occurrence of pipe leakage and pipe burst, resulting in serious waste of water resources and huge economic losses .
It is found that due to pipeline leakage, more than 32 billion m3 of drinking water is lost in the world every year, accounting for 35% of the total water supply. Taking the data of 2010 "statistical yearbook of urban construction" as an example, the total leakage water volume in China is 62.7552 × 108 m3, equivalent to the annual domestic water consumption of 1.40 × 108 people. Some developed countries, such as the United States, Japan and other countries, the leakage rate of the pipeline network is also very alarming, which is more than 15% and about 25% respectively.
The corrosion of water supply pipe not only causes a lot of waste of water resources and shortens the service life of pipes, but also worsens the quality of drinking water and seriously affects the safety of people's living water. After the corrosion products of cast iron pipe and other metal pipes are released to the water supply network, they can re precipitate to form nodules and adhere to the inner wall of the pipeline.
The surface structure of the nodule is loose, which can not only continue to release iron and its oxides to the water supply network, leading to the occurrence of "yellow water" and "red water" events, but also react with chlorination disinfection by-products, nitrate or natural organic matter in water, resulting in deterioration of water quality of pipe network and secondary pollution of drinking water quality. As a result, the iron content in the effluent of the user terminal is too high, bacteria and turbidity exceed the standard, which seriously affects people's water safety and threatens people's health. Therefore, in order to control the leakage of pipe network and ensure the safety of drinking water quality, it is urgent to study the anti-corrosion technology of water supply pipeline.
