These planter boxes are made from pressure treated 1X6 fence boards. A
36 inch planter box can be built from two 6 ft boards which cost about
$2.50 each. A visit to the local garden center convinced me to build
them when I spotted a 36 inch cedar planter box built from the same
pattern for $24.50. I built the 9 feet of box you see here for about
$12.50, versus spending $73.50 for three 36 inch cedar boxes.
I use plastic planters as liners inside the boxes for two reasons:
The first reason is so I can plant the plastic planters indoors and have
semi mature plants that are almost ready to bloom while everyone else in
the neighborhood is still waiting for the nursery to receive their
shipments. This saves me from the need to transplant from plant cells
and my plants don't have the transplant shock. Also, I have the ability
to switch my plants around in the various planter boxes buy just lifting
the plastic planter out and putting another one in.
The second reason is to keep the dirt away from direct contact with the
lumber so it will extend the life of the wood box. I have holes drilled in the bottom of the wooden planter boxes so when the plastic planters drain, the water just drains out the bottom of the box.

Let’s dive into the trending coffee brew method that combines both pour-over tools with espresso beans: the pour-over espresso.
True espresso provides a creamy, small, and highly potent cup of coffee. Pour-over espresso uses the classic pour-over technique with espresso beans to create a delicious cup of coffee. Coffee drinkers shouldn’t expect the classic three-part body of true espresso because the pour-over results in a watery espresso.
Anyone who knows coffee can tell you that espressos are a time-honored, international tradition, but we’re not here to pressure water through a puck of coffee. We’re combining pour-over coffee with aromatic dark roasted espresso grounds.
Keep reading and we’ll break down the science of the Pour-over espresso process, including the best equipment, techniques to bring out the best flavors, and what tastes you can expect.
The key to understanding Pour-Over Espresso
What is it?
Using a pour-over brewer is simple, but how does it work with a Pour-over espresso?
In a normal pour-over brew, baristas pour hot water over coffee grounds to brew and create coffee. The grounds are normally dark roasted, and a filter sifts the coffee drink from the wet grounds into the pot or cup below.
Simple enough. But what if we replace the pour-over coffee grounds with espresso grounds? The resulting espresso pour-over provides a uniquely different aroma and body that will surprise many coffee aficionados with its nuanced taste.
Rather than a syrupy and thick cup of espresso, the Pour-over espresso will have less body and be lighter in flavor.
How is it different from traditional espresso?
You may be wondering what we mean when we talk about a cup of coffee’s body?
When comparing traditional espresso versus pour-over espresso with the same beans, traditional espresso will have a creamy top, sweet middle layer, and saturated coffee-flavored bottom. Traditional espresso machines pressure water through the tightly packed coffee grounds, creating the different layers of an espresso.
Pour-over espressos rely upon gravity, meaning it lightly drains through the coffee into your cup. More of the water is present in the cup, making it less thick and syrupy. Your light-bodied coffee will be easily blended into espresso drinks, taking a less full and dominant stance in the cup.
When it comes to taste and mouthfeel, even novice coffee drinkers will be able to tell the difference.
What goes into a cup?
The ingredients and equipment you’re using will create vastly different cups of coffee, so it’s important you understand what you’re using.
Choose the right beans
When comparing the difference between the traditional and Pour-over espresso, the bean is where you’re getting most of the flavor from.
Many people believe that espresso beans are darker and vastly different, but that’s not always true. Any roast or type of bean can be an espresso bean, but American consumers tend to expect darker espresso beans that will punch through the milk or sugar flavors of their coffee.
Americans, influenced by French and Italian cafés and coffee brewing, expect coffee to be dark, black, and deeply roasted. In roasting terms, they like their coffee past the point of a second crack.
Second crack means roasteries cook coffee beans long enough for the interior oils of the bean to break through the bean’s shell with an audible crack — not once — twice.
So if you’re buying an espresso blend, you can expect it to be darkly roasted. But of course, it’s your cup of coffee so make it how you like it — light roasts are more floral and acidic, dark roasts are more chocolatey and bitter, whereas medium roasts combine the best of both worlds.
We recommend picking single-origin or blended coffee beans that are fresh and finely ground to bring out the most flavor.
Pour-Over Espresso Equipment
To push your pour-over espresso game to the maximum, there are a few things you’re going to need.
- Pour-over coffee maker — there are two general pour-over styles: single and pot-brewing. Pick the coffee maker that suits your style but check to ensure it has the right filter because you’re going to be grinding extra fine.
- Filters — in addition to the standard filter that comes with some pour-overs, you’ll need to buy paper filters. These filters are the first line of defense between the coarse coffee grounds and your steaming cup of pour-over espresso.
- Kettle — The kettle both heats the water and provides a spout to pour the water over your grounds. There are kettles you can place on your stove or electric kettles that heat up on their own. We recommend a kettle with a gooseneck spout to provide more accurate pouring.
- Scale — measuring by weight and not by volume will provide a level of consistency that brings out the absolute best from each pour. There are kitchen scales or niche coffee scales, and each will work assuming you can measure to the nearest decimal.
- Grinder — We break out the differences between burr and blade grinders in this blog article as grinders will be essential to create a freshly ground cup of coffee. Pre-ground coffee has a level of convenience, but the tasty oils can dry out over time and leave you with a lackluster pull.
Good tasting water
It almost feels obvious that better quality water will create better quality espresso, but it must be said.
When brewing the dark flavors of espresso, you really want fresh and clean water to balance out the harsh flavors. If your water is harsh and hard to drink, your pour-over espresso will simply turn into a sludge that nobody will want to enjoy.
When searching, look for mineral-rich water to enhance the flavors strained from your coffee grounds.

How do you brew pour-over espresso?
If you’re wondering why there’s so much fuss over each part of the brewing process, then keep reading. You can also check out our article on mastering the V60 pour-over method.
Brewing ratios and recipes
People who haven’t spent much time behind the counter at a coffee shop probably don’t think of espresso as needing a recipe. It’s just coffee, right?
Wrong. When brewing the perfect batch of espresso, brewers should consider dose, yield, and time to create a replicable espresso shot. Let’s dive into each:
When considering the dose, ask yourself how much ground coffee are you tamping into your basket? For a single espresso, we recommend 7 to 10 grams of ground espresso. It helps to have a scale here.
After the pour-over brewing is complete, how much espresso will be sitting in your cup? Espresso ratios range from 1 part ground coffee to 1 part espresso (1:1) or even go as far as a ratio of 1:3.
Grind size and consistency
The reason baristas and coffee lovers make a big deal about grinders is because that consistency of the grind size from cup-to-cup impacts the coffee’s flavor. Using a consistent grinder is essential for baristas and impressive for home brewers.
A whole oily coffee bean is going to repel a lot of water in a pour-over espresso brew. That’s why we recommend you grind your espresso beans extra fine to give the water more surface area to soak the beans and extract the flavor. We think a ground consistency similar to finely granulated sugar — or .3 millimeters — works best for pour-over espresso.
When grinding your beans, there are generally two options — a blade grinder or a burr grinder. It’s widely understood that burr grinders create a more consistent size of grind, which helps bring consistency to your cup. Learn more in this article: Burr vs Blade grinder.
In coffee brewing, water is easy to understand but not always understood.
When pouring water into your pour-over, you must understand that water always looks for the easiest and fastest path. It will take the easiest route and not always the best route. Without proper technique, you can over-extract your beans and end up with some inconsistent espresso.
- Bloom — this is the first impact. It’s recommended to pour twice the amount of water as there are grounds. Then wait for as much as 10 to 15 seconds as the coffee brewing begins.
- Spiraling — By spiraling your pour, the water hits all the grounds evenly and avoids oversaturating one part of your pour-over.
- Pulse pour — As it sounds, a pulse pour is a faster extraction method where people pour hot water into the pour-over in quick bursts or pulses.
- Continuous pour — The alternative to the pulse pour involves managing your water flow to ensure you can pour continuously throughout the brew. This requires a careful hand to ensure you’re hitting all the techniques correctly and not oversaturating the beans.
When pouring, try to avoid hitting the sides of the pour-over. You don’t want the water skipping the brew! Also, try to put a bit more water in the center of the pour-over to ensure the espresso in the deepest part of the pour-over gets enough water.
Is Pour-Over Espresso it?
As an affordable way to make espresso at home, pour-over espresso is without rival. You get the caffeine and flavors you can expect from an espresso without the cost of a machine.
Aroma and taste
With a pour-over espresso, you won’t get the heavy, syrupy coffee taste to your drink. The pour-over method allows the water to lightly sift through the grounds rather than being pressured through a puck of coffee grounds.
This means your espresso will look more like a cup of coffee, and easily mixed into any coffee drink. Try it with a flat white, cappuccino, or as a shot of espresso.
The beans you choose will factor into the taste, so don’t forget to be picky. Part of the fun of exploring coffee drinks is learning more about the ingredients around us and how they can be manipulated to produce different flavor combinations.
Maybe you want to drink out of a glass coffee mug or a classic small espresso cup? Or does your morning include a lemon pastry, a Dutch stroopwafel, or a classic coffee cake?
Do what suits you. Because being a coffee lover means having fun with coffee.
Compared to traditional espresso, pour-over espresso is vastly different from the brewing process to drink that hits your tongue. If you’re trying to create a consistent flavor, you must invest in accuracy tools like a scale, gooseneck kettle, and burr grinders to recreate your classic cup. But if you’re just trying to create a good cup of pour-over espresso, you should know that the essentials of good water, coffee beans, and pouring technique are the most important.
Here at Roast Love, we know the perfect cup is out there for everyone, but it’s up to you to find and brew your favorite.

Before talking about the actual translation, I'd like to remind everybody reading this to go vote for STEEM at http://contest.gonetcoins.com/ If Steem wins, we all win and that includes people writing for @utopian-io :D
Now, back to my translation. They say time flies and I can't believe I have reached my 40th contribution, which brings me to the completion of 48 % of The Curious Expedition!
Like with all my previous translations, there isn't anything really special to report. Translating the project is extremely easy and I again inserted a few original strings I came up with here and there. Again, I want to point that the DEVS of the project actually encourage us to do so, it's not an initiative I took by myself!
Here are a couple of the strings I worked on for this session, to give you an idea of what I am dealing with:
Valuable items were lost.
Let the tortoise free
I [happily welcomed $his return|gladly accepted $his change of heart|was happy to have $him at my side again]. [In these lands truly anything could happen|I had ceased trying to anticipate such behaviour|I wondered how $he had followed us].
Yep, child's play :D
And now allow me to close with something awesome @scienceangel shared with me today.
That's all dock!
The Curious Expedition is a rogue-like expedition simulation set in the 19th century. It's the first game by indie developer Maschinen-Mensch. The game is available on Steam, GOG, Humble Store and at the official homepage http://curious-expedition.com. The game has been regularly updated through out the last 2 years. A list of all the updates can be found here. For information on modding the game, go here . [source and more info]
And here's what I believe to be the official trailer:
Why Did I Choose This Project?
Well, to be honest, I chose this project because all the other options were applications with boring names like Freecad and Jabref. I thought it would be fun (edit: less boring) to translate a game instead. And thank god... I was right!
I am sure my team members are very jealous that I get to translate strings like "Let's eat", "Giant tortoise", "I feel happy and sad", and "Oh my god" while they get to translate stuff like "resolving duplicate keys", "Port Design", "Constraining modifier key" and "Corrugated elements"... LOL!
Too bad for them, now they have to live with the choices they have made....MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
- Translation Overview: This is a really large project, approximately 80.000 words and obviously it's gonna take me a while to finish. In each part I plan to translate anywhere from 700 to 1200 words. For the most part, the translation is very easy as there are few, if any, technical terms.
- Languages: The project is being translated from English to Greek.
- Word Count: According to Crowdin, for Part 40# I translated 1202 words, for a total of 40477 translated words. Since most of the strings translated were part of the in-game dialogues there were only a handful (1, maybe 2%) that were left in the original language, e.g. screenshot.
Proof of Authorship
- CrowdIn project link: https://crowdin.com/project/the-curious-expedition
- My CrowdIn profile link: https://crowdin.com/profile/trumpman
- My Github profile link: https://github.com/trumperino
A shout-out goes of course to the other brilliant members of the Greek team: @katerinaramm, @lordneroo and of course the one and only @trumpman. A special shoutout of course goes to @trumpman2, I would be nothing without his constant support and guidance!
And last but not least, a big thank you goes to DaVinci and Utopian for keeping this project alive, running and developing!

ShareAugust 14, 2019A holiday that ended in tragedy. The Sicilian manager Eugenio Vinci, who for many years had worked at the top of Assindustria Molise, died in a boat in Croatia, intoxicated by exhaust gases. And two of his children are hospitalized in very serious condition, due to an accident that at first seemed to have been caused by food poisoning. Around 10 am, a request for help was launched from a yacht rented off Hvar on the homonymous Dalmatian island, which reported that a 57-year-old man had died on board. The other five tourists had also suffered from illnesses: especially the two children of Vinci, aged 8 and 14, with strong diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, a loss of consciousness, so much so as to request their transfer by helicopter to the hospital center of Split, at around 50 km from the island. The two children are in very serious condition and undergo intensive care in the pediatric ward. At first the Croatian press speculated that it was food poisoning. Apparently, in fact, the Vinci family had consumed a dinner of mussels and other shellfish in a well-known restaurant in Hvar the night before, and during the night they would start complaining about gastrointestinal illnesses. But then it turned out that the intoxication was caused by the exhaust gas coming from the toilet or from the air conditioner. Vinci lost consciousness due to the fumes, beating his head in the fall. And his friends found him without life.
Bruno Mancuso, the mayor of the Sicilian town of Sant'Agata di Militello, is among the people admitted. Together with the other two adults taken to the hospital, he is not in serious condition. "We are all bewildered, we had left to spend a vacation together and we never thought it would turn into a tragedy", said Mancuso, explaining that "after eating we all felt bad". Some have recovered immediately, but the two children "are serious and we hope they will improve", he added, reporting that the local authorities have opened an investigation and will do an autopsy on the body of Vinci. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through the Consulate General in Rijeka, is in contact with family members in Croatia to lend them every possible assistance.
The 57-year-old Eugenio Vinci had spent part of his professional life in Molise, moving to the region in the 80s as general manager of Pop 84, a textile company of the Isernino. And in the 90s he had served as vice president of regional Assindustria. His work had then taken him to Rome, to the Dico group, in large-scale food distribution. "I lost a dear friend, who sent me a message from Croatia last Sunday telling me 'I'm from God, only you are still working ...", said former President of the Molise Region Paolo Frattura.

I have seen a number of recent articles about Voter ID acts in various states with Arizona being foremost in the News right now. First let me say that I personally see nothing wrong with showing my ID to vote. I have done it all my life. Never have I gone to vote and was not asked for my ID which they used to match me up to the voter registration lists. To me it makes common sense to prove that I am the person using MY registered voter name to cast a vote.
What I am having a problem with is the lack of Proof that is thrown about to support this issue. The Supporters of these Bills keep throwing out vague numbers and comments like "Hundreds of Illegal Aliens Voted in the XXXX Elections", then cite a BLOG to support their claim.
Really a BLOG?, What the heck if there really are that many illegal voters there must have been some arrests some where in this country. So I am asking for all of you who are so Adamant in supporting these Bills on the Grounds that Illegal Aliens are Voting to Please Cite Sources from Local Police Department, State Attorneys, US Attorneys, or the Department of Justice.
If all you really have is a BLOG then you have nothing.
Another issue brought up by these same supporters of the Voter ID bills is that Students from other states are coming to their state and voting after they have been in state for a year. Hello, if you or I move to another state and live there a Year we are now official residents of that new state, unless we continue to file tax returns in the original state. Oh but wait you say, what if they don't file taxes and are claimed as a Dependant by their parents. Then that should make them a resident of the state their parent lives in, unless there is legal justification to claim otherwise.
Should be easy enough to check new registrations against the Tax Department records, and if you have not lived in a new state long enough to file taxes then you should be voting absentee in your old state, student or adult.
As to Students ID not being accepted as ID for voting, I can understand this because they don't identify who is or is not a resident of the state. Make it a Requirement that Student ID Clearly state Resident on it, when they meet residency requirements. Not only will this help the Voting issue but also to help in making sure that out of state students don't collect the benefits afforded to Resident Students.
The Reason I support Voter ID is simple. Do a search on your Name, I did on mine and found 2 others with the same first and last name, Both of them live in States that I have lived in in the past.
The CoH will be strictly enforced here, I hate deleting people but if you toss any Insults you will be reported and deleted.

This series of portraits were painted based as I wanted to create some more images using a limited colour palette, but with a twist. Instead of using a colour palette based on the colours of the reference images, I wanted to base my colour palette based on the character’s clothing, and Star Trek was a good starting point as many of the main characters wear Starfleet uniforms. So while I could have gone on and painted a lot of characters, I first and foremost wanted to create a series of three images from one of the Star Trek series, and ended up expanding it to three characters from three different Star Trek series. Keep scrolling if you’d like to see each of the individual portraits.
If you’re in the market for a portrait, or maybe have a project which require an artist/illustrator, feel free to get in touch!
Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Enterprise, as portrayed by Sir Patrick Stewart in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
This was my first attempt at using the colour Starfleet uniform as a basis for the colour palette. I suppose this was the saftest place to start, as pink colour could appear to mimic Picard’s skin colour, but paired with the purple and dark red background.
Geordi La Forge
The next portrait from Star Trek: The Next Generation is of Geordi La Forge, portrayed by LeVar Burton.
I have to admit I was uncertain if yellow would even work for these portraits, as it could very easily make someone look ill, but it works really well here. After having painted this I decided that I should probably extend the series beyond Star Trek: The Next Generation, to see how the colour palettes would look on other characters.
Next up of the Star Trek: The Next Generation portraits is of Counsellor Deanna Troi, played by Marina Sirtis.
Initially I was a worried how the blue colour palette would make this image look a little bit too outlandish, however, I was pleasantly surprised to see how well it worked, both with the image on its own, but also as part of the series.
Captain Benjamin Sisko
We start off the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine with a portrait of Captain Sisko portrayed by Avery Brooks.
As the colour palette was already set with the portrait of Captain Picard I was curious to see how it would work on Captain Sisko, and in the end I think it works as well on Captain Sisko as it does on Captain Picard.
The next portrait from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is of Miles O’Brien, portrayed by Colm Meaney.
Much like with Captain Sisko, I was curious how this colour palette would work on a different skin tone. And yet again, the colours work quite well for this portrait as well.
And the final Star Trek: Deep Space Nine portrait is of Jadzia Dax, portrayed by Terry Farrell.
While many of the other portraits have darker shadows on the face, I didn’t want to make things too dark in this portrait because of the markings on Jadzia’s face. As these markings are part of the character, hiding them could make it trickier for people to recognise her and the species of the character.
Captain Kathryn Janeway
As I had already painted characters from Star Trek: The Next Genration and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, I felt it was only fair to do a series based on Star Trek: Voyager as well, as these are the three Star Trek shows I recall seeing. So of course we start off with the captain of the Voyager, namely Captain Janeway portrayed by Kate Mulgrew.
The next portrait from Star Trek: Voyager is of B’Elanna Torres played by Roxann Dawson.
I’m not gonna lie, I also enjoyed adding this third show to this portrait series, as it would allow me to not only paint a female captain, which there doesn’t appear to be many of, but I also got to paint another person of colour, who also happened to be.
The final portrait in the Star Trek: Voyager limited colour palette portrait series is of The Doctor played by Robert Picardo.
Adding Star Trek: Voyager to the list also allowed me to paint a man in a blue uniform/colour palette, which to me was also important, as it shows diversity in all the uniform colours.

Chicago | Reuters — CME live cattle ended lower Friday as fund selling and weak cash cattle prices weighed, traders said.
Lower U.S. stocks and weak crude oil also pressured the overall livestock futures market, said Lane Broadbent of KIS Futures.
“We are in a tough time of the year as far as beef demand goes. And when there is a stock market sell-off, its takes even more demand away,” Broadbent said.
Market-ready (cash) cattle, sold in the U.S. Plains at $164 per hundredweight (cwt) compared with $166 to $168 last week (all figures US$).
As beef packer margins remain deeply in red and wholesale beef demand wanes packers were not aggressive buyers in the cash market which pushed prices lower this week.
Beef packer margins for Friday were a negative $115.55 per head, compared with a negative $103.70 on Thursday and a negative $132 last week, according to Colorado-based analytics firm Hedgersedge.com.
Friday morning’s choice wholesale beef price fell $2.16/cwt from Thursday to $245.63, and falling $6.75 since Monday, the U.S. government data showed.
December live cattle closed down 0.35 cent per pound at 162.05 cents, and February down 0.4 cent at 162.175 cents.
CME feeder cattle futures closed their three-cents/lb. maximum daily price limit for the second consecutive day as weak deferred-month live cattle futures weighed, traders said.
“The feeder market was so high for the last 10-12 months, now we have a sell-off,” Broadbent said.
January feeder cattle and March closed at 225.6 cents and 221.25 cents, respectively.
Weak pork demand hurts hogs
CME lean hogs closed lower on weak cash market prices and soft wholesale pork demand, traders said.
Early Friday, U.S. Midwest cash hogs traded 50 cents to $1/cwt lower, according to hog dealers.
Many pork processors have hog supply secured though the end of 2014 which kept buyers out of the market. Also, packing plants need fewer hogs due to holiday closures.
USDA data showed Friday’s wholesale pork price edged up $1.13/cwt from Thursday to $92.06, but was down $1.25/cwt for the week.
CME December lean hogs ended down 0.025 cent/lb. to 87.525 cents. December lean hog’s contract last trade was on Friday, which made the February contract the lead month.
February ended down 1.1 cent, to 83.25 cents, and April ended down 1.35 cent at 84.35 cents.

A rushed take-off might be the problem here. Steps 2-4 of this trick tip could help you out. In order to make your feet “stick” to the board, you have to do the movement fluidly. But don’t stress yourself out! You should rather start with some preliminary exercises until you feel safe while ollieing. It is also important to pull your foot up to your board’s nose in a straight manner to prevent it from spinning.
To get higher ollies, I would suggesting resting your back foot on the very end of the tail and the front foot in the middle of the deck to allow for more slide. Popping as hard as you can and catching your board in the groove of the nose with you ankle practically resting in the groove will level the board out in the air. after this initial movement slide you feet back to the bolts on the tail and nose to ensure a clean landing.
The skateboard has a solid and stiff mini-deck, which is around 22 inches and constructed out of 100% plastic material. Such deck is very lightweight. It is only four pounds but you have an assurance that it can handle up to 198 lbs. of weight. You will also fall in love with the board as it comes in 23 graphics and colors, so picking a favorite is much easier.
The following descriptions cover skateboard parts that are most prevalent in popular and modern forms of skateboarding. Many parts exist with exotic or alternative constructions. A traditional complete skateboard consists of the deck (often with griptape applied on top to enhance traction), trucks (with urethane bushings), wheels (with sealed bearings), bushings, nuts and bolts to fasten the truck and wheel assembly to the bottom of the deck. Older decks also included plastic parts such as side, tail, and nose guards.
The deck is expertly constructed with a vertically laminated bamboo core and bamboo veneer exterior, all attached with triaxial glass and epoxy as well as a course grip tape top. The grip tape is arranged in an unusual and stylish, yet functional design. The 34-inch board features a 13-degree nose angle and a 18-degree tail angle. With its directional shape, you’ll easily be able to cruise on this board or pull a few tricks. It is a lightweight and flexible deck.
It's a neat piece of science art, and it also tells us something interesting. The arrows show us that the force on the skateboard is constantly changing, both in magnitude as well as in direction. Now the force of gravity obviously isn't changing, so the reason that these force arrows are shrinking and growing and tumbling around is that the skater is changing how their feet pushes and pulls against the board. By applying a variable force that changes both in strength and direction, they're steering the board.
So now that you have an idea of what size and shape board you like, it’s time to choose a brand. A popular size is an 8.5 skateboard deck. If you were looking for a size 8.5 skateboard deck, you could narrow the decks offered on CCS.com to fit in the 8.25 - 8.5 range. This will show you all the boards in that range, and significantly reduce the boards you have to look through. Now, if you don’t have a preference on board brands, find a graphic you like and you’re all set. If this is your first skateboard or are still learning about what wood and brands you prefer, we recommend checking out a CCS Skateboard. They give you a bang for your buck, that's for sure.
Punisher Skateboards Warphant measures 31 x 7.5 inch. It has a 9-Ply Maple Black Board with Concave Deck and Double Kick Tail. It comes with ABEC-3 Bearings, 5-inch V-style Heavy Duty Alloy Trucks, and Bases. It uses 54 x 36 mm PU injection molded wheels and PE Riser Pad with PU Cushion and Punisher Logo. It is perfect for learning and doing tricks. It is best suited for riders who are 8 years old and above. It has a 5 rating on Amazon.
Shock pads are made of polyurethane and rubber. They are very similar to risers but vary in the fact that their sole purpose is to cushion the board from the trucks. Since the trucks are metal and the board wood, whenever the board hits the ground after doing a trick, the energy goes through the truck to the board ─ this has caused boards to crack, split, or even break in half, and shock pads were created to prevent this.
The problem with wheel bite is that it tends to stop the motion of the wheels. This can result not only in a bad wipeout for the rider but also damage to the wheels. With the help of the riser pads, it is easier for you to preserve the deck of your skateboard since these pads can reduce the tendency of having stress cracks on where the trucks and deck meet.
Slide your front foot as soon as you start jumping. Use the same movement you have been practicing to slide your foot towards the top end of the board, just as you jump off it and kick the back down. The front of your board should lift up as you slide your foot along it, with your foot hitting the top of the board at the highest point of your jump.
Now, I might not be able to skate to save my life, but I can do a little physics. So here's a thought - maybe I can use physics to learn how to do an ollie. Here's the plan. I'm going to open up the above video of skateboarder Adam Shomsky doing an ollie, filmed in glorious 1000 frames-per-second slow motion, and analyze it in the open source physics video analysis tool Tracker.
Large power is created at the point of action by applying small power to the point of effort. Application of this concept to skateboarding makes the back wheels the fulcrum, the tail the point of effort, and the nose the point of action. Applying power to the tail causes the nose to shoot upwards. When the front foot of the skater levels the nose at a point roughly horizontal to the ground in anticipation of the tail, soon to be leveled likewise by the skater’s back foot, the process smoothly done creates the illusion of the skateboard ‘sticking’ to the feet.
The longboard, a common variant of the skateboard, is used for higher speed and rough surface boarding, and they are much more expensive. "Old school" boards (those made in the 1970s–80s or modern boards that mimic their shape) are generally wider and often have only one kicktail. Variants of the 1970s often have little or no concavity, whereas 1980s models have deeper concavities and steeper kicktails.
Rails (or ribs), are narrow strips of plastic or metal that are attached under the deck lengthwise along the edges. They are used for additional grip for grabs, and to enhance sliding while protecting the deck's graphics at the same time. Rails also provide a more consistent feel for slides, as the slide of a regular skateboard will suffer from the wear of the paint or varnish on the bottom of the board. Although rarely used anymore, they are useful for experienced skaters that are capable of grabs.
Penny Skateboards are available in 22", 27" and the 36" for different riding styles, skating abilities and personal preference. You can find a Penny board that's perfect for you and your skateboard needs. The 36" Penny Longboards allow you to carve up the streets, mountains or beach in style. Regardless of which size Penny is right for you, everyone needs a Penny skateboard to cruise on at the beach, the park, the shops or while on holidays.
The Bamboo Skateboards Galaxy Series Cosmic Cloud Skateboard Deck is an excellent option. This concave board is made exclusively of a bamboo hybrid, rather than pure maple. This means the deck is lighter, stronger, more flexible and can even absorb shock better. The non-carbonized, light-wood deck is made of 6-ply wood and is in its fourth generation of designs.
Hey dude i want to push faster and constantly at the moment i am starting and stopping to much i would like to keep going is it because I’m not fit enough yet or am i not pushing correctly I’m regular stance…..should i put push down on my left knee while pushing for a while to keep my board straight?!!!! I also am trying to get my ollies down….. 🙂
After you’ve properly applied a burst of force to the tail, the top-side of your front foot’s toe should start dragging up your board almost automatically. Eventually, the higher you are able to bring your front foot during lift will determine the apex of your ollie, so work gradually towards lifting your front foot as high as your body allows. Skateboarders who record the highest ollies usually (somehow manage to!) bring their feet higher than their hips!
In 1977, skate parks began cropping up all over the place, including Skateboard USA, where Gelfand began to spend most of his time. His buddy, Scott Goodman, is the one who gave Gelfand the nickname of “Ollie” and dubbed his aerial lipside the “ollie-pop.” Pictures of Gelfand during this time period clearly show him getting airborne and performing the trick associated with his name today.

Taylor Review calls for new ‘dependent contractor’ employment status
A new employment status category of ‘dependent contractor’ is the centrepiece of the long-awaited Taylor Review, a nine-month probe into modern working practices by Matthew Taylor, Chief Executive of the RSA.
The report, published in July 2017, suggests that a national strategy is needed to help provide security in such areas as wages, quality of employment, education and training, working conditions, work life balance and the ability to progress at work.
One of the areas of focus relates to the ‘gig’ economy, with the report recommending the creation of a new category of worker, known as a ‘dependent contractor’, to provide additional rights and benefits for those who are currently classed as self-employed, but who work for businesses which have a ‘controlling and supervisory’ relationship with their workers.
The additional benefits would include sick pay, holiday entitlement and the minimum wage, and the new employment status would also oblige these businesses to pay national insurance contributions for these workers.
Business groups have given mixed reactions to the report’s findings, with many welcoming the focus on labour market flexibility, but also warning that some areas, including the plans to rewrite employment status tests, are a cause for concern.
Lee Muter, Employment Taxes and Payroll partner at UNW said: “It is clear that the subject of employment status both for tax and employment law purposes remains a key and complex issue for employers and contractors alike. While the growth in self-employed entrepreneurs has been a success story since the last recession, there are still some obvious concerns about the rights and tax liabilities of these key workers which have often been legislated for piecemeal and without reference to the impacts on employers and contractors. It is hoped that the Taylor Review results in a more holistic and clear approach towards this vital sector of the economy so that entrepreneurship is not stifled by the costs and requirements of any new legislation.”

since the holiday shopping season is for the most part over, or maybe did not ever begin, many companies are releasing their retail sale numbers.

WASHINGTON - October 4 - With the 2006 voter registration deadlines quickly approaching, Rock the Vote, a nonpartisan political organization for young people, today announced that voters can now register to vote online through Facebook®, the Internet’s leading social utility.
“A friend’s suggestion is proven to be the most effective way to increase turn out among young voters. Rock the Vote today launched an innovative way to make this personal contact happen through the Internet on Facebook,” explains Hans Riemer, political director of Rock the Vote. “Peer-to-peer contact is the most powerful force in politics and we are excited about giving young people the tools to get involved and engage their generation online.”
Rock the Vote’s online registration expertise extends Facebook’s Election 2006 network, which was launched last month to increase the political voice of Facebook users. The “We Will Rock the Vote” page gives Facebook users a way to easily become part of the election process whether they are registering to vote for the first time or changing their address because they have moved. Young people can also encourage their friends to fill out a voter registration form through the Rock the Vote page on Facebook.
The Rock the Vote registration program on Facebook is part of a nationwide, nonpartisan effort by fourteen partner organizations to register 350,000 young voters in 2006, coordinated by Young Voter Strategies, a nonpartisan project at The George Washington University’s Graduate School of Political Management with support from The Pew Charitable Trusts.
“Once young people are registered to vote, it is easy for campaigns and candidates to target and turn them out to the polls, explains Heather Smith, director of Young Voter Strategies (YVS). “According to our recent survey of voters ages 18-30, young adults are paying attention, but are not hearing enough from candidates on any of their top issues.” Young Voter Strategies will release a study of its 2006 programs, providing best practices for political professionals and nonprofits leading into 2008.
Riemer said, “Generation Y is increasingly politically active and on track to be nearly a third of the electorate by 2015. Taking peer-to-peer contact online can have major implications on the engagement of this Internet generation and on the face of the electorate. We’re excited to help Facebook users Rock the Vote in 2006.”
Rock the Vote is a Los Angeles based non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to building political power for young people. With thousands of young volunteers across the country and support from leaders and stars of the entertainment industry, Rock the Vote is a proven force for engaging young people in the political process. In 2004, Rock the Vote registered 1.4 million voters, including 1.2 million through the Internet; hosted a presidential candidates debate in the Democratic primary with CNN; and helped spark a huge increase in youth voter turnout.
Young Voter Strategies, a project of the Graduate School of Political Management at The George Washington University, with support from The Pew Charitable Trusts, is a nonpartisan, nonprofits organization that provides the public, parties, candidates, consultants, and nonprofits with data on the youth vote and tools to effectively mobilize this electorate for upcoming elections. We are committed to making the targeting of young voters a more permanent part of electoral strategies.

Ginger – A flavorful root for a healthier life
Although popularly called a root, ginger is really a rhizome originating from China, but grown anywhere from India and throughout South East Asian countries. Ginger is omnipresent in Asia and the various Asian cuisines and ever more popular throughout the world as a flavoring vegetable and exotic ingredient to bring different textures and tastes into traditional European and western cuisines as well.
There are many opportunities to introduce ginger into our regular fare.
Ginger is also part of popular culture and medicinal concoctions in many old traditions; herbal remedies using ginger have long served as cure for minor aches and pains, stomach cramps, morning sickness and to treat the common cold. Ginger tea, served throughout Asia either hot and healing to cure common colds and keep people warm in chilly nights and cold weather, or chilled and cooling to keep off the summer heat and refresh, is not only great drink, but also a soothing balm for mind and body. Ginger; a natural product, full of goodness and flavor which tastes good, keeps our bodies in shape, helps cure sicknesses and prevents others ailments proactively.
Throughout history, ginger has been hailed as an aphrodisiac in many South East Asian cultures, while in the Philippines, the chewing of raw ginger is supposed to extract evil spirits. This is a fact probably attributed to the fact that ginger has diaphoretic qualities which makes people sweat. Modern medicine has also taken note of ginger and its beneficial health qualities over the past years. Two volatile oils in ginger, gingerols and shoagols, are accredited as the main agents that react beneficially in our body. Laboratory test are suggesting that gingerols have analgesic, sedative and even antibacterial properties.
Perhaps ginger’s most well known attribute is that it is a digestive aid. Ginger increases the production of saliva and digestive fluids and helps neutralize stomach acids. This helps gas pains, cramping, diarrhea and indigestion. Ginger is also a natural laxative.
Ginger is a powerful antioxidant. It helps in the prevention of cell damage by free radicals. Various research suggest that the gingerols in ginger actively inhibit growth or even kill some cancer cells. Ginger is know to work as anti-inflammatory agent, bringing relief for muscle pains and rheumatism. Essential ginger oil has anti-inflammatory properties and using it in massages can help relieve painful arthritis. Inhalation of ginger oil flavored during aroma therapies steam helps reduce and loosen phlegm in the lungs and keeps the respiratory track free.
Ginger, through its diaphoretic properties which increase sweating, helps fight the common cold, flu and fever. Ginger also helps to dilate blood vessels and with it improve blood circulation. In addition ginger removes toxins from the body and reduces blood cholesterol, hence improving liver, kidney and respiratory functions.

Neurobiological aspects of depressive disorder and antidepressant treatment: role of glia
Depression is a complex disorder related to chronic inflammatory processes, chronic stress changes and a hippocampal response. There is a increasing knowledge about the role of glial cells in nutrient supply to neurons, maintenance of synaptic contacts and tissue homeostasis within the CNS. Glial cells, viewed in the past as passive elements with a limited influence on neuronal function, are becoming recognized as active partners of neurons and are starting to be discussed as a possible
... a possible therapeutic target. Their role in the pathogenesis of depressive disorders is also being reconsidered. Attention is devoted to studies of the different types of antidepressants and their effects on transmembrane signaling, including levels of alpha subunits of G proteins in C6 glioma cells in vitro as a model of postsynaptic changes in vivo. These models indicate similarities in antidepressant effects on G proteins of brain cells and effector cells of natural immunity, natural killers and granulocytes. Thus, an antidepressant response can exhibit certain common characteristics in functionally different systems which also participate in disease pathogenesis. There are, however, differences in the astrocyte G-protein responses to antidepressant treatment, indicating that antidepressants differ in their effect on glial signalization. Today mainstream approach to neurobiological basis of depressive disorders and other mood illnesses is linked to abnormalities in transmembrane signal transduction via G-protein coupled receptors. Intracellular signalization cascade modulation results in the activation of transcription factors with subsequent increased production of a wide array of products including growth factors and to changes in cellular activity and reactivity.


At the age of ten, Fabinho Viotto, as he is known, was already enchanted with music. His father was a drummer in the 1970s in a Beatles cover band, which inspired him.
The profession already pointed out when he began to attend the rehearsals of neighborhood friends who had bands of pop rock. His eyes did not leave the battery. "One day, in the interval of an essay, I sat on the drum and felt totally inspired. I did not waste time, I joined a samba school that I had at home, like a bass drum, a rusty box and made a pedal with cardboard in some springs rolled in the structure. Ready! This was my first hit, or rather a prototype of it. I tried to play every day in this work until I got my first instrument, those with eucatex helmets, well, scrawny. After a few years and rolls, I managed to exchange for a quality one. I was even more motivated, wanting to play all day. "
Self-taught until the age of 17, Viotto began working as a freelancer and earning his first cousins as a musician. Since then, he has recorded hits from 2004 to 2011 with Jeito Moleque Group and at the end of 2011, he was invited by music producer and bassist Wilson Prateado to join the musicians team of singer Belo, where he remained from 2011 to January 2016 In February of this same year, he was invited by the singer Thiaguinho to be part of his musicians, where he is currently a drummer.
He has supported and endorsement of: Tango Musical Instruments, Arborea Cymbals, Novitá Music, Aquarian Drumheads, BateraClube, Hello Cases Hard Cases and Gavazzi Cases and Bags.
"I've worked with hundreds of groups, because every week I'm in the studio recording groups and singers," says Viotto, who ensures that the good side of the profession is to become a reference for new musicians, to distribute and acquire knowledge and to make many friends.

Expect Infosys to lead the industry on growth. Maintain ‘buy’.
Clients have accelerated digital and cloud initiatives in the past 11 months which will likely continue in 2021. Infosys’s key digital bets — experience, data and cloud — have all benefited from this trend, leading to strong growth in digital revenues even during the pandemic.

The company indicated that it is focused on ensuring proper communication to clients on the difference in skills and value offered by Infosys in each element of large digital programs. The approach has yielded early benefits which is encouraging but requires several more quarters to be embedded in the system.

It’s Game 1 of 82, but it’s not just any regular season game. This start of the season represents a significant change - call it a step back, end of the “run it back” era, reset, realignment — whatever it is, one thing’s for sure: this is the Darko Rajakovic era for the Toronto Raptors.
Coach Rajakovic promises an overhaul of the offensive system, implementing the 0.5 offense that’s made the San Antonio Spurs and a host of other teams successful. Regardless of the system, Rajakovic would need to figure out how to put his best players— Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes in excellent position to carry the team on a nightly basis.
The Raptors managed to get into the Play-in last season, finishing with a 41-41 record, but flamed out against the Chicago Bulls, despite another All-Star season from Pascal Siakam and an All-defensive second team nod for OG Anunoby.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are in town to test coach Rajakovic’s system, and the Raptors would have to deal with their big lineup. The Raptors and the Timberwolves split their two meetings last season, with then-Timberwolf D’Angelo Russell catching fire in the fourth period, scoring 16 of his 25 points to erase a 14-point lead in the final frame to win 128-126 on their first meeting. The Raptors exacted their revenge a couple of months after, making the shorthanded Timberwolves tap early, 122-107.
However, the matchup between these two teams tonight will be different. Tonight will be the first time the Raptors will see the Wolves’ twin towers, as Karl Anthony Towns missed both games against the Raptors. There are also key personnel changes on both teams, with D’Angelo Russell getting traded to the Los Angeles Lakers and Dennis Schroder taking over Fred VanVleet’s starting spot.
Pascal Siakam will continue to lead the Raptors with 24.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 5.8 assists. The question on this roster is who will be the consistent #2 or 1B that FredVanVleet vacated when he bolted to Houston. That role should go to Scottie Barnes, and we should expect some improvements from his 15.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 4.8 assists last season.
Where to Watch:
Sportsnet, 7:30pm ET
Toronto – Dennis Schroder, O.G. Anunoby, Pascal Siakam, Scottie Barnes, Jakob Poeltl
Minnesota – Mike Conley, Anthony Edwards, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Karl Anthony-Towns, Rudy Gobert
Toronto – Christian Koloko (Respiratory Illness – out)
Minnesota – Jaden McDaniels (Calf Strain – out), Jaylen Clark (Achilles – out)
