Nissan launches British-made home battery to rival Tesla's Powerwall. Batteries that have powered electric cars around the UK will get a second life providing energy storage for households, with the launch this week of a British-made home battery to rival the one made by Elon Musk's Tesla.
The cells will be made by the Japanese car-maker Nissan in Sunderland, where its popular Leaf electric car is built, and sold in partnership with the US power firm Eaton. Buyers will be able to choose cheaper, used batteries that are no longer fit for electric car use, or pricier new ones. They are believed to be the first British-made household batteries pitched to the embryonic UK home storage market. What's the Difference Between a Battery and a Supercapacitor?
A supercapacitor is a high-capacity capacitor that bridges the gap between electrolytic capacitors and rechargeable batteries.
Supercapacitors accept and deliver charges much faster than a battery and are able to tolerate many more charge and discharge cycles; however, they traditionally have had a lower breakdown voltage and limited energy density when compared to a battery. Battery Chemistry A battery consists of one or more electrochemical cells. Search for the Super Battery - Documentary. Search for the Super Battery - Documentary. Cientistas criam bateria potente com garrafas de vidro usadas. (pixinoo/iStock) Se conseguimos passar duas ou três horas no notebook sem estarmos presos a tomadas, temos de agradecer às baterias de íon de lítio.
Elas estão por trás dessa autonomia que computadores e celulares possuem, e são uma forma de armazenar energia elétrica a um custo relativamente baixo. Uma descoberta feita por cientistas norte-americanos, porém, foi capaz de aumentar e muito seu rendimento. E o melhor, de uma forma sustentável – já que o material necessário para isso vem de garrafas de vidro usadas. Garrafas são feitas de areia, que por sua vez é composta essencialmente de quartzo (SiO2). Entenda "ânodo" como o pólo negativo de uma fonte de energia. Ânodos de silício são capazes de armazenar até 10 vezes mais energia que os de grafite. Para criar ânodos eficientes, e sobretudo livres de explosões, os cientistas apostaram na transformação do óxido de silício em nanosilício. How a 94-Year-Old Genius May Save the Planet. Photo Credit: Sunny studio / Shutterstock.com A man old enough to be Mark Zuckerberg's great-grandfather just unveiled energy storage technology that might save the planet.
John Goodenough is 94, and his current work could be the key to Tesla's future—much as, decades ago, his efforts were an important part of Sony's era of dominance in portable gadgets. Over the years, Goodenough has scuffled with Warren Buffett, wound up screwed by global patent wars, never got rich off a headline-grabbing initial public offering and defied the American tech industry's prejudice that says old people can't innovate. Contrast that with the way we celebrate Evan Spiegel, who at 26 is worth $5 billion because he co-created Snapchat, an app that will probably impact humanity over the long run as profoundly as Cap'n Crunch cereal. Maybe. End of Gas-Powered Cars? Battery technology may not make you swoon, but it is the missing link in getting the planet off carbon-based energy. Lithium-Ion Battery Inventor Introduces New Technology for Fast-Charging, Noncombustible Batteries. Tesla Powerwall: What you need to know. As usual, Elon Musk was extremely convincing in his most recent announcement about Tesla's new Powerwall battery.
Imagine: in a matter of months, you could be weaned off fossil fuels and start participating in the clean energy ecosystem of the future. Your home or business could be off the grid completely. As solar energy is more widely adopted, a dedicated battery to store the energy makes a lot of sense. Top Ten Facts about Tesla's $350/kWh (DC) PowerWall battery. Special post by Bruce Lin and Matthew Klippenstein [Edit May 11 – corrected PG&E peak price to $0.36 not $0.40/kWh – $0.36 was used in the calculation] There's an MBA joke about scaring your clients by asking them "What's your China strategy?".
Today, it's "What's your Tesla strategy?" $350/kWh (DC) retail really is that significant. The Tesla Home Battery. Tesla Powerwall 2 has no competition – comparison with LG Resu and SonnenBatterie. As we reported when Tesla officially unveiled the Powerwall 2 last week, the new battery pack is a game changer in home energy storage.
The new price point for twice the energy capacity and the integrated inverter are hard to beat specifications for the competition, which had significantly increased since Tesla introduced first generation Powerwall over a year ago. In order to get a better idea of how disruptive the new Powerwall 2 can be, we compared it with some of the other important residential home battery pack solutions. The price points of most solutions have so far made them unavailable to most markets in the US. Like Tesla's first generation Powerwall, other companies have concentrated their efforts on markets with higher electricity rates, like Australia and Germany. But more recently, some of the biggest players in the field felt confident enough to enter the US market, like LG with the RESU and sonnenBatterie with the Eco Compact.
The Battery Miracle Will Transform Both Transportation And Power Generation. Low-cost, high-performance electric batteries are a game changer for the two key clean energy sectors: power generation and transportation.
They enable much greater adoption and penetration of both renewable energy and electric vehicles — not just electric cars but electric buses and electric planes. Off Grid Saltwater Battery Can Power Home for 10 Years! Posted Categories: Energy The batteries allow the user to have a more steady supply of solar power and to store all energy that comes in throughout the day, none of it to go to waste.
The batteries provide power during storms and outages, and can weather almost any storm. Recycle Tires to Make Supercapacitors for Electric Cars and the Powergrid. The technology, described in a paper published in ChemSusChem by Wiley-VCH, follows an ORNL discovery of a method to use scrap tires for batteries.
Together, these approaches could provide some relief to the problems associated with the 1.5 billion tires manufacturers expect to produce annually by 2035. "Those tires will eventually need to be discarded, and our supercapacitor applications can consume several tons of this waste," Paranthaman said. "Combined with the technology we've licensed to two companies to convert scrap tires into carbon powders for batteries, we estimate consuming about 50 tons per day." While that amount represents just a fraction of the 8,000 tons that need to be recycled every day, co-author Yury Gogotsi of Drexel noted that other recycling companies could contribute to that goal.
"Each tire can produce carbon with a yield of about 50 percent with the ORNL process," Gogotsi said. The Tesla battery heralds the beginning of the end for fossil fuels. While wind and solar power have made great strides in recent years, with renewables now accounting for 22% of electric energy generated, the issue that has held them back has been their transience.
The sun doesn't shine at night and the wind doesn't blow year-round – these are the mantras of all those opposed to the progress of renewables. Now the renewable power billionaire Elon Musk has just blown away that final defence. Last Thursday in California he introduced to the world his sleek new Powerwall – a wall-mounted energy storage unit that can hold 10 kilowatt hours of electric energy, and deliver it at an average of 2 kilowatts, all for US$3,500. That translates into an electricity price (taking into account installation costs and inverters) of around US$500 per kWh – less than half current costs, as estimated by Deutsche Bank. Not just for homes The Tesla Energy system launched last week is comprehensive, with global ramifications. The revolution begins Musk will not be alone. Tesla's New Battery Doesn't Work That Well With Solar.
Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk introduced a new family of batteries designed to stretch the solar-power revolution into its next phase. There's just one problem: Tesla's new battery doesn't work well with rooftop solar—at least not yet. Even Solar City, the supplier led by Musk, isn't ready to offer Tesla's battery for daily use. The new Tesla Powerwall home batteries come in two sizes—seven and 10 kilowatt hours (kWh)—but the differences extend beyond capacity to the chemistry of the batteries. The 7kWh version is made for daily use, while its larger counterpart is only intended to be used as occasional backup when the electricity goes out.
MIT Energy Storage Discovery Could Lead to 'Unlimited' Solar Power. Clean Power Published on October 25th, 2008 | by Andrew Williams Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have discovered a new way of storing energy from sunlight that could lead to 'unlimited' solar power. The process, loosely based on plant photosynthesis, uses solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases. When needed, the gases can then be re-combined in a fuel cell, creating carbon-free electricity whether the sun is shining or not.
According to project leader Prof. Wireless Electric Car Charging Closer to Reality. Photo: Volvo 20 kW Induction System Flanders' Drive, Volvo, Van Hool, Bombardier and others are partnering to work on creating an induction charging system that could allow electric vehicles to be charge quickly and conveniently. Just park over a buried plate and log in the system (unlike in the image above, it'll probably be done by wireless identification), and voilà! Charging a battery pack of the size fitted to the Volvo C30 Electric(24 kWh), which Volvo will use for testing, is expected to take about an hour and twenty minutes, if the battery is entirely discharged. In inductive charging, a charging plate is buried in the ground--e.g., in the driveway at home where the car is parked. Graphene supercapacitors created with 'traditional paper making' process, rivals lead-acid battery capacity. Materials engineers at Monash University in Australia have devised a method of producing graphene supercapacitors that have the same energy density as the lead-acid battery under your car's hood.
Not only are these supercapacitors about 10 times more energy-dense than commercial devices, but the method of producing the graphene inside the supercapacitors seems to be novel as well. The engineers say they used a process that is similar to traditional paper making — and that it could easily and cost-effectively scaled up for commercial production of graphene, and graphene-based supercaps. Supercapacitors are essentially small batteries that can recharge and discharge almost instantly. Graphene supercapacitors are 20 times as powerful, can be made with a DVD burner. A team of international researchers have created graphene supercapacitors using a LightScribe DVD burner. These capacitors are both highly flexible (pictured below) and have energy and power densities far beyond existing electrochemical capacitors, possibly within reach of conventional lithium-ion and nickel metal hydride batteries. The team, which was led by Richard Kaner of UCLA, started by smearing graphite oxide — a cheap and very easily produced material — films on blank DVDs.
Forget batteries: future devices could store power in wires. Batteries have always been one of the biggest problems when developing small lightweight electronic devices. They're big and bulky, taking up a serious chunk of the real estate inside your smartphone or tablet. So imagine if they could be dispensed with, and replaced by a new type of internal wiring that can actually store power inside the body of the wire itself. That's the goal of a team of nanotechnology researchers at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. Professor Jayan Thomas and Ph.D. student Zenan Yu have developed a way to cover copper wires with a sheath made from alloy nanowhiskers, which then become one of the two electrodes needed to create a supercapacitor.
A second tube with nanowhiskers is then added, with a thin plastic boundary layer placed between the two sheaths to complete the capacitor. Dr. University of Central Florida, via Treehugger.

And since it's made of aluminum, the new battery is a safer alternative to conventional lithium-ion and alkaline batteries millions of us are using today.

Timely issues of retail bonds
The retail bond market has started to stir with a string of new issues in recent months.
So far this year, four companies have issued bonds aimed at the retail investor, compared with just one last year. The Government has also launched its Singapore Savings Bonds (SSB), with the first tranche being sold last month.
The four corporate issuers - Perennial Real Estate Holdings, Oxley Holdings, Frasers Centrepoint and Aspial Corp - have all seen their issues being over-subscribed. They are offering yields of between 3.85 per cent and 5.25 per cent, while the SSB has an average yield of about 2.8 per cent. Investors can buy these corporate bonds for as low as $2,000 a lot. With a 5 per cent yield, this means the bondholder will get $100 every year for each bond bought.
The surge of such bond issues comes at a good time, said analysts. DBS head of fixed income Clifford Lee believes the overwhelming demand indicates a strong latent demand for such products. "You have cash, equities and property in the portfolios of most Singaporeans. What is missing so far has been bonds," he said.
Before the new retail bonds were issued this year, just five were listed on the Singapore Exchange. For a developed capital market like Singapore's, the absence of bond products for the retail investor is surprising. But investors would do well to note the risks associated with such products. Except for the nearly risk-free SSB, the rest of the bonds carry risks.
Bond prices are inversely correlated with interest rates. The higher the rates, the lower the bond prices. The interest rate risk is real because there is a high possibility that rates would go up in the next few months when the United States central bank decides to change its monetary policy.
Then there is credit risk. If the company becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts, bondholders could take a hit. Investors should do their homework and study the firms that issue these bonds before buying them. Not all bonds are created equal.

A record-breaking 42 #IndyMini Ambassadors are training, recruiting and inspiring others in preparation for the 42nd running of the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon. We're sharing their stories through a series of blog posts, 2018 Ambassador Features. Here is one of their stories.
Jenilynne's Story
I started running for myself in 2012. In 2015, my first Indy Mini was about me and proving to myself that I could do it.
In 2016. while working my overnight shift as a 911 dispatcher, Deputy Carl Koontz was shot and killed in the line of duty. I remember that feeling; the helplessness, the sadness, the shock. In the days and weeks after this tragedy, I remember wondering how a society could be so hateful toward the men and women that are sworn to protect and serve our communities.
With my training for the Indy Mini just beginning, I knew that I wanted to make my 2016 race about "backing the blue." I dedicated that year's Indy Mini to those that I work with, to those that have become like brothers and sisters to me, and specifically to Deputy Carl Koontz. As it's commonly said: "When a police officer is killed, it's not an agency that loses an officer, it's an entire nation." I ended up crossing the finish line that year with a personal record.
In 2017, my sisters and I teamed up with Flags4Fallen and ran with American Flags the entire 13.1 miles in honor of Abigail Williams and Liberty German; the two girls who went missing earlier that year in my hometown of Delphi, Indiana. The flags we ran with were later given to the families of the girls. Again, I crossed the finish line that year with a PR and a lot of tears.
Through the years, it seems that once I started running for a cause, it's made my journey through training and race day much more worth it.
Jenilynne's Mini-Marathon Experience
My favorite thing about the Indy Mini is the atmosphere on Race Weekend. It starts with the Mini-Marathon Expo, which is so much fun and there's excitement leading up to race day.
The day of the Mini is out of this world. So many people line the streets of Downtown Indianapolis before the race. The blaring music, the spectators, the countdown. Then there's the actual race itself. The course entertainment that lines the streets of Indy is unforgettable. I've told so many people that I don't even need to use my music on my phone. There is enough live music to keep me pumped and going all 13.1 miles!
The Post Race Party is the ultimate celebration and the amount of support and love from the volunteers and other participants is so wonderful. There are a lot of races where some people's competitiveness can take the fun out of the everyday participant's experience. The Indy Mini takes away that uncomfortable feeling. Everyone is a finisher and everyone is celebrated!
Jenilynne's Advice
Have fun! Don't give up. Even when you think you can't go any further, you can. Just put one foot in front of the other and keep repeating that. Not everyone can say they are an Indy Mini finisher!

When you decide to start coding, choosing apps and tools is the first step.
For Android app development, you just need Android Studio.
For iPhone app development, Xcode will be the only choice.
However, for PHP or JavaScript, there is a lot of options out there.
You may be struggling with finding the right one for you.
So, I'm going to share what's on my Mac's dock!
I have 10 programming related apps on my dock, and I'm going to share each of them. It's a matter of taste, so you can choose whatever you like!
FYI, my current coding status is like this:
- 80%: PHP, Java, JavaScript
- 2%: Objective-C
Hope this will help you 🙂
Here's my Mac's dock.
1. Terminal
I use when I develop web applications.
Usage example:
– Edit files start with a period, like ".htaccess" or ".bash_profile."
– Run command on web servers
– Set CRON jobs
– Install Library
2. Coda2
I'm often asked about my text editor.
I tried popular text editors like Sublime Text, Eclipse, vim, and mi.
In conclusion, Coda2 is the best. I can't find any cons!
It's only available on Mac OS and costs $99, but it's totally worth to pay.
3. Xcode
I haven't been developed iPhone apps lately, but Xcode opens Java and XML files more quickly than Android Studio. That's why I put it on my deck.
4. Android Studio
I'm not a fan of Eclipse and other tools… When I first used Android Studio, it was still a beta version. Compare to that time, Android Studio dramatically improved and I love it 🙂
5. Genymotion
Genymotion is fast, easy-to-use, and stress-free Android emulator.
You can use the original Android Emulator, but Genymotion speeds up your development.
6. Sketch
Sketch is a design tool, and I use for mock-ups, blog posts, images on videos, and app icons. I chose Sketch rather than Photoshop because Sketch was one-time purchase app. But now, it's almost the same price.
7. Photoshop
I receive PSD files and convert to HTML and CSS.
I usually use Sketch, so I'm not familiar with Photoshop 🙁
8. Sourcetree
Sourcetree is a free and simple Git client. It's ok to manage with the command line, but if you want to check them visually, I recommend this app.
9. FileZilla
FileZilla is a free FTP, SFTP, and FTPS client.
You can easily upload files with drag & drop and edit files on servers.
XAMPP is PHP & MySQL environment. You can also install MAMP, WAMP, or LAMP. But if you can't decide which one to pick, I recommend XAMPP. I've been using for five years now, and there is no problem 🙂

For a week now, I've sat down and watched a movie every night at 7:00. Mostly science fiction, horror films. Which means mostly bad sci-fi.
Last night I watched a fairly bad film with a lot of big names. Phantoms is a 1998 adaptation of a Dean Koontz book. I'm wondering if they managed to get all these big names because Steven King adaptations have gone over pretty well.
Peter O'Toole does a fantastic job as Dr. Timothy Flyte, a man who got drummed out of academia because of an outlandish theory on missing civilizations that turns out to be exactly what is happening in this tiny Colorado town. He now writes bizarre stories for a sensationalist news rag for the paycheck.
Joanna Going is the local doctor who brings her sister to town to stay with her. She is an actress who seemed vaguely familiar. Looking her up, she has had an erratic film career from the early 1990's until now, often going a year or two between films. 1998 was her busiest year in which she did 3 films.
Rose McGowan is the younger sister and plays a typical Rose McGowan character.
Liev Schreiber (Sabertooth in X-Men Origins: Wolverine) played the deputy sheriff, who has every indication of being a really creepy guy before he gets killed and becomes an extension of the monster.
Ben Affleck is the Sheriff.
The best performances seem to come from O'Toole and Schreiver. McGowan and Affleck give their typical performances. I don't know much about Going but her performance was rather indifferent.
The special effects were reasonably well done. But the writing wasn't the best. The opening scene was really weak. The story was so whittled down that the film seemed like it was made based on an outline what never had the details filled in.
The monster kills and eats people but absorbs their knowledge. The people, not knowing what it is, think it is a demon or satan. As a result, after killing a church full of people, the monster thinks that is what it is. It decides it needs a gospel of its own. One of the visitors to the town like to read a cheap news rag filed with fantastical stories. This person had read the theories put forth by Dr. Timothy Flyte. The result was that the monster lays a sort of trap to get him to the town. Flyte is its 'chosen' witness to write its gospel and make people worship it.
One of the problems is that it kills the deputy and later takes on that form. When it does so, it talks normally through the deputy. But when it kills other and takes their form, it just opens the mouth and words come out. Not normal speaking where you move the jaws and tongue and lips. Why can it talk normal one way but not the other?
The special effects, sound and film editing were all better than 100 Million BC that I watched the night before. But the story was more poorly developed. On the other hand, the transitions and resolution were all written and directed better in Phantoms. The Phantom also had slightly better acting, the best part being where Peter O'Toole taunts the monster into revealing the main portion of its body so they can try to poison it. Scheiber also had a good part where some people are talking about monsters and aliens in a bar and an officer a few seat down laughs. They want to know what's so funny and the deputy says, "Do you want to see something?" So a part of the creature did survive after all.
So if you like B-Horror or B-SciFi, you may or may not want to give this movie a view. The decapitated heads and hands are not that well done, but the rest of the effects are good. The film does a pretty good job of building suspense. Nothing is too gory but it may make you jump. Acting is 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. If you like Peter O'Toole in general, you may want to give it a view.

Way Out of My Box
This is one of the cards I made for the challenge, and it is *way* out of the box for me. Not only did I use circles, and plenty of 'em :), but I also tried a style that was a bit of a push for me. It's a little more bold and modern. The large bird is by Rhonna Farrer (a JoAnn's $ stamp). The smaller birds are from Hero Arts Decorative Birds set. All of the circles were done with 1/2", 1", and 1-3/8" circle punches. I colored the birds with Stampin' Up! markers in, get this, YoYo Yellow, Brilliant Blue, Real Red, and Glorious Green. Other than the red, I never use these colors. The brads are by making memories and the ribbon is all Stampin' Up! I wasn't sure how much I love the card, but it's growing on me. And I'm ridiculously proud for pushing myself to try something new.
By the way, the inspiration for this card came to like this: I wake up one morning with these little birdies on the brain and The Partridge Family theme song in my head. HA!
The Goods:
Stamps: Rhonna Farrer bird, Hero Arts Decorative Birds
Ink: Black Versafine, markers: glorious green, real red, brilliant blue, yoyo yellow
Paper: Papertrey White, basic black, glorious green, real red, brilliant blue, yoyo yellow
Other: circle punches, SU! grosgrain ribbons, Making Memories brads
So, all day yesterday (literally from about 9 am to 4 pm) I installed Windows Vista on my desktop. Internet works fine, but no sound. It seems my sound card isn't compatible and there is not yet an updated driver to download. Bummer. I reinstall Windows XP. All is well. Everything's working. I'm downloading all the updates, reinstalling my security program. WHAM!!! The internet goes. For no reason. It still works on my laptop. I can not get it to work on my desktop. And I am not very computer savy. Today I'll be on the phone with my ISP seeing if they can help. So frustrating! At least the laptop still has internet. Be thankful for small favors.
Thanks for stopping by. See ya.

F1: Ferrari's Drivers Dominate Spa Practice
Ferrari's (NYSE:RACE) Kimi Raikkonen posted the fastest time in FP2 for the Belgian Grand Prix, teammate Sebastian Vettel was quickest in FP1 earlier Friday.
There is a 3rd and final practice on Saturday ahead of qualifying, where Mr. Vettel needs a strong performance to put pressure on F1 championship leader Lewis Hamilton.
Mr. Raikkonen was .168 ahead of Hamilton and nearly a half sec clear of MercedesAMG's Valtteri Bottas.
Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen was 4th quickest ahead of Mr. Vettel in mild but overcast afternoon conditions.
Mr. Hamilton leads the overall standings by 24 points from Mr. Vettel, but the 7-km Spa circuit in the Ardennes forest is well suited to Ferrari and gives him a super chance catch up.
Spa is also good for overtaking, negating the usual overly-dominant position of the driver who takes Pole position. Mr. Hamilton is F1's all-time record holder with 77 Poles, 9 more than Michael Schumacher and 22 ahead of Mr. Vettel.
Mr. Hamilton also leads Mr. Vettel in GP wins: 5-4 this season and 67-51 overall.
Mr. Raikkonen last won at the season-opening Australian GP in Y 2013, but 4 of his 20 victories have been at Spa.
Only Ayrton Senna, with five wins, and Schumacher, with six, have had more success at Spa. Another victory for the 38-year-old Raikkonen could be timely in his bid to get a new Ferrari contract for next year.
Ferrari's last win at was in Y 2009, with Mr. Raikkonen behind the wheel during his 1st stint with the Maranello Outfit. MercedesAMG has won the past 3 races at Spa.
Mr. Bottas was penalized for too many engine changes and will start Sunday's race from the back of the grid.
Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, hampered by an engine problem in FP1, finished both sessions in 6th place. Red Bull has less power than MercedesAMG and Ferrari and, according to Mr.Verstappen, neither driver can realistically expect to finish higher than 5th and 6th on Sunday.

So, the week started out with me learning how to rock climb! Some of my friends from the Venus de Miles Bicycle Club love to climb and they invited
me to join them for the day. I had fun! Jamie, who instructed and belayed me, has been climbing for several decades. I had to rent shoes and they were supposed to be tight, but we determined that mine were a bit too tight. Here is a picture of the real rock wall that I went up. I made it about 3/4 of the way to the top.
Monday found us with continued rain, with snow in the canyon where we were climbing. So, no riding in the morning, but a great hydration clinic at Full Cycle. Thanks Cov for the great information. I will use this and the cookbook from Skratch – Feed Zone Cookbook, to replenish myself in healthier ways while riding.
Tuesday found me packing and not riding. I went back to Wisconsin for a week to take care of some things at home there.
But, I did some riding on a bike. It weighs quite a bit, but it rolls. I most likely rode 10 miles on 2 days. A far cry from last week. But we got together with great friends and sat outside until 1130 pm, eating and chatting.
Saturday found me sorting things for a garage sale, so no riding. Here is a picture of the bike I used this week, kick-stand and all! Thank you Dad Mathews for the bike.

Techno duo post first single Were You There? from debut album CI, just announced for a June release
With Easter approaching and tQ observing this most chocolatey of public holidays via our gert list of some of the most sublime spiritual music ever recorded, religious fervour is well and truly in the air. Dark-hued electronic producers Diamond Version are also getting in on the reverential act, streaming as they are a thumping take on an old gospel hymn, 'Were You There?', their collaboration with dance-pop high priest, Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys. Get baptised by its deconstructed techno above.
The track is taken from their forthcoming debut album, CI (which stands for "Corporate Identity"), released June 2 via Mute. The LP follows on from a series of five 12" EPs they've previously released and will be preceded by an audio-visual tour that'll see them heading out across Europe over April, May and June - glean the details over at their website.

Fusion music isn't a new phenomenon. Beatles lovers will certainly be familiar with it and more recently the genre defying Sheila Chandra brought musical influences from India and South-East Asia into sharp focus.
But surely nobody has ever tried to meld the influences of the Mississippi delta and the Ganges…until now. Enter, Ajay Srivastav.
His new collection of songs, Karmic Blues is such a breath of fresh air – normally, a reviewer might say "for fans of…" but in this case, nothing sounds like it or feels like it. And 'feels' is an important word in the context of this album, because rarely have I ever heard a body of work suffused with such spirituality. And I'm not talking here about manufactured 'pan pipes-in-a-forest' spirituality, or even religion – although there are Hindu themes on this album – I'm talking about the peace that comes from self-awareness and the acceptance of who you are and where you're going.
The hypnotic rhythms running right through the album come courtesy of ace tabla player, Vinod Kerai – his left hand providing a huge underlying rumble of power, while the right produces a crack like a whip.
Over the top of this, Srivastav's guitar sings and swoops – he uses a steel bodied resonator, its distinctive hiss and background vibration blending with the primarily Indian scale slide work to produce a highly distinctive sound, part blues, part raga.
Amidst the serenity of tracks like 'Namaste', there's time for the satisfying rock 'n roll crunch of 'Six Arm Goddess', the sinuous Blues rhythms of the title track, the dark uncertainty of 'Between the Cracks' – "Too bright for the night sky, I'm too dark for the dawn…" and best of all, the brilliant 'Third Eye' holding out the possibility of reaching such an elevated level of consciousness that the World takes on a completely new perspective.
A bold experiment, and one of the most unusual and inventive albums I've heard for many years.
Karmic Blues is released on 13th May through Scion Records.

The Galactic Federation is a interstellar republic composed of intelligent beings, brought together to serve their common interests. It appears to have existed for thousands of years. The member worlds of the Galactic Federation are each represented in the Federation Council, the main legislative body of the Galactic Federation. The leader of the Council is the Grand Councilman (or Councilwoman), who it appears is elected by the Council from its membership. The Federation Council meets on the planet Turo, the Galactic Federation's capital.
The Galactic Federation has been involved in many extraterrestrial-related incidents on Earth, including the one that occurred near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947.
Galactic Command
Galactic Command functions as the military of the Galactic Federation. The Federation Council appears to have direct oversight of the Galactic Command, with the Grand Councilman (or woman) serving as commander-in-chief.
The United Galactic Federation controls many territories throughout the galaxy. The Galactic Federation's capital is the planet Turo, where the Galactic Federation Council meets. The planet Earth has recently been made a protectorate of the Galactic Federation to insure the safety of its mosquito population. The mosquito, while common on Earth, is an endangered species throughout the rest of the galaxy and is near extinction.
Prisons are fitted with the best in defense technology, including hoverbots that are use to patrol.
United Federation ships come in many sizes from flagships to police cruisers. These ships all appear to incorporate hyperdrive technology.
Police Cruisers
Police Crusers were the standard federation ship.these ships were small and Built Like Flying Police Cars there were many Thousand of these ships transporting stitch.These Vehicles Were Usally Led By A Pursuit captain.
Grand Councilwoman's Flagship
The Grand Councilwoman's ship was a large, highly advanced, yellow ship which she planed to use to transport Stitch to Galactic Command.
Captain Gantu's Flagship
When Gantu served as Captain he controlled a large city sized ship. This ship had the latest technology, included DNA censored lasers. It also contained holding cells, a bridge, a hangar for police cruisers and numerous types of defenses.
Gautu's Ship
Gantu also had a black and yellow ship that contained a computer room, living quarters and had at least one Hangar.
B.R.B (Big Red Battle Ship)
The B.R.B. was a ship equipped with the latest technology. It served as Stitch's flagship during his tenure as Captain of the Galactic Federation. It contained a large, highly advanced bridge and had living quarters for Stitch and the crew. The Ship was massive, but not as large as Gantu's Ship. The ship had large storage capabilities and had a powerful defense network.

Halloween is a fun time for kids: the dressing up, the candy, the decorations, the going outside after dark! Here are some tips to keep it fun – and safe.
- We all know to inspect our kids' candy when they get home, and eat all the good stuff when they are sleeping. Throw away anything unwrapped or damaged.
- Consider giving away something other than sweets. Pencils, erasers, pretzels, coins, marbles – all make fun treasures for school-age kids.
- Feed the kids a healthy meal. I like to fill mine up so they are less interested in snacking while trick-or-treating. Kids know that a good dinner makes for more stamina for trick or treating.
- Remind kids to never, ever go into a stranger's house or car – any time of the year.
- Make sure kids can see properly. Consider make-up instead of a mask.
- It gets dark early, so have them wear a glow necklace or two (plus it makes them easier to keep an eye on!).
- Make sure your costume is layered for warmth, comfort and movement.
- Reflective tape on bags, shoes, and parts of costumes is a great idea!
- Be careful when you cross the street. Drivers can't always see Darth Vader and Batman at night!
- Be careful around pets. Even your own pets can be scared of costumes. Consider putting pets in a safe place if you get trick-or-treaters. Most pets are not up for trick-or-treating either. There are lots of unfamiliar sights and screaming/shrieking and chocolate and….
- Watch out for trip hazards (toys, bikes, lawn decorations, parts of the costume), and stick to the paths.
- Stay in a group. It's more fun when you're with friends.
Some alternatives
- Why carve the pumpkin when you can paint or decorate one instead? It's safe for all ages, and they last longer.
- On Halloween night, our household is visited by the Switch-Witch. Kids remove their favorite candy pieces (and any non-sweet finds), and leave the rest of their bag in the big pumpkin outside. If she comes, she takes the candy for the goblins, and leaves some gifts in the morning. If she doesn't, well, they still have the candy. She always comes, and they look forward to it.

I woke up with the saddest thought. Ever since Jori and I moved to Dubai, I've been locking my bedroom door at night before I sleep. The door to the bedroom does not close shut, and the cat can just push it open, our cat Ty jumps on my bed and frequently disturbs my sleep, so the only solution was to lock the door before I sleep. But this morning, waking from another sad dream, full of pain and despair, I realized 'what if I die of a heart attack in my sleep?'. Jori wouldn't be able to come into my room, the only phone in our apartment is my mobile phone and it's always on my bedside table, I use it as an alarm clock. Therefore, if I died she wouldn't be able to come in my room, she wouldn't be able to phone anyone, and then of course there is the question of who she can phone? We don't know anyone, we've met some people, none of whom we are particularly close to.
There is so much pain, fear and sadness in living and I have been here, in this place of foreignness and detachment for so long. I am tired of my nightmares, tired of waking up in tears, breathless and panting. Tired of feeling too afraid to fall asleep and see the gruesome violent dreams. I'm tired of not knowing where to turn, tired, tired, tired beyond words. I had hoped the move to this city, this laborious relocation would bring me refuge, answers, a sense of security but sadly it has only heightened my sorrows.
Still searching for a job, living on dwindling savings, having to care for my daughter, dealing with my disappointment and depression at every job rejection, and the fear of not being able to pay next month's rent or bills if I don't find a job soon, and the massive loneliness and isolation that engulfs me every minute of everyday. There is nowhere for me to turn from all my troubles, nowhere to go. My predicament has become my universe, I live inside it, it is possible to leave my flat, buy some food whilst worrying about how much I am spending but I am always in it, I may use the gym at the building where I live but I am still in it. I may take my daughter to school or pick her up again but I am still in it. I am in it when I am cooking, sleeping or cleaning the cat's litter. I am always sinking, in my wakefulness and in my sleep, I am sinking, I am drowning.
I dream of a warm gentle hand kindly stroking my aching back when I'm finally in bed at night, after a long tiresome day full of endurance, a loving voice telling me all will be well in the end, but there is no gentle hand, there is no loving voice, there is only my abusive mind. My mind the tyrant that ensures I am always sad about my painful past and always worried about my uncertain future.
I can't afford therapy so I search for some relief in spirituality. Like a Buddhist, I try to let go of attachment and expectation; attachment to the past, attachment to money, attachment to what I expect my life to be, I succeed for a few days then I flounder, but the fall is steep, I fall a million stories into my grief, lightyears into my despair. I try to meditate, to silence my violent mind but it does not work.
I have never endured such a difficult time; financially, emotionally, and mentally. I wish I could face it with more grace, with more patience. I remind myself that I am physically healthy, that I still have my healthy legs, my healthy heart. That my child is healthy and although she endures with me, she is still able to smile and play and be a child and that is a blessing. But my diseased mind is unable to hold on to any solace, it convinces me that my losses are bigger, so much bigger than I can fathom, the sword of blessings I draw in the iron face of my failures and misfortunes is but a flimsy stick.
I wish I was stronger.

Have you ever wondered how you can tell if home security reviews are honest or fake? The Internet is full of reviews of various products, services, restaurants, hotels, and more. Businesses are more and more having to rely upon positive customer reviews and feedback in order to stay successful and keep bringing in newer customers. Sites like Angie's List and other review sites keep these businesses on their toes, because bad reviews lead to loss of customers. Unfortunately, this also means that many companies are starting to hire writers to write positive customer reviews and feedback to encourage more business and site traffic. On the other side, many companies pay writers to fabricate poor reviews of their rival companies' products or services. If this is true, how can you know that the reviews you're looking at aren't just bogus and made up by a person who's never even tried or used the product or service? Here will go over a few basic tips to help you weed out the real from the fake in the world of online reviews.
How Many Reviews?
When you initially look up a home security product, such as a motion sensor, security camera, or alarm device, after reading the specifications and information available, one of the first places you should look is customer reviews. The first telling thing about these reviews should be the number of reviews given. If there's only one review on the product, it may either be a newer product or a product that isn't very popular. Chances are that a product with numerous reviews is going to have more sincere reviews and has been purchased by more people. It's also good to take a look at the specs for the number of one star, two star, three star, four star, and five star reviews given. Sites like Amazon always list the number of reviews given to each category, as well as the total number of reviews. If you first see that the product has 45 reviews, you might think it's more popular. But then if you look at those stats and see that the majority of those 45 reviews gave the product only one or two stars, you can feel pretty sure that the product isn't all it's hyped up to be.
Are Questions Being Answered?
This is actually a great way to see if reviews are real and if the manufacturer of the product or the company offering the service cares about their reviews. Many companies and manufacturers will take the time to respond to poor reviews or comments that ask questions. Their sincerity in how they respond will help you know whether or not this is a company that cares about its customers and the quality of its products and services.
The Truth is in the Details
On review sites, you can find yourself staring at hundreds of reviews and comments about a specific home security company. Some of them will be raving mad and unwilling to give even one star to the service, while others will be dripping with praise and adoration for their installers and the equipment they installed. Odds are a good number of these extremes will be fake, and asking yourself a pretty simple question will help you determine which ones are and which ones aren't: Are they overusing superlatives and exclamations but skimping on the details? The company may supposedly "the best ever!" with "the nicest people!" and "the best equipment!" but what about the details? Why is it the best ever? What did the installers do that made them such nice people? What makes the equipment so great? Maybe a commenter says that they were "horribly disappointed" and are "never calling them again," but the key question here is, why? Was it simply one particular salesperson who put them off, or was it actually the quality of the company's equipment?
Overall, probably the best thing that you can do when looking through home security reviews is to read with a realistic eye. The truth is, we're all human, and that means that we make mistakes, which also means that every company may have a mixture of both good and bad reviews. Don't be deceived by reviews that are overly simple or overly detailed, and look for the information that really matters most to you as a potential customer. If you keep these things in mind, you'll be able to feel more confident in your ability to decipher which reviews are real and which ones are fake.

What are The Benefits of Water Boreholes?
Water boreholes are dug to get clean, drinking water under the ground. Rains seeps down the soil and there is a water table below where you can get water. Drilling a water borehole can give us many benefits. Below are the benefits of drilling a water borehole on the ground.
One of the benefits of drilling water boreholes is that you will have a good source of pure and clean water which you can drink. Much of the water under the ground comes from the rain but it is very pure and natural. The water deep underneath is free of chemicals, micro-organisms, and it is rich in minerals.
If you dig a borehole near your property, then you will have a source of water all throughout the day and night. This way, you will never run out of water supply for your home and family.
A borehole in rural areas allow women, who usually does the collecting of water, to have a lesser burden. There will no longer be any need for them to carry water for a long distance. This saves them a lot of time and they are freed from danger walking alone bringing water.
If you have a borehole in your property, you don't have to rely on an outside source for water. You own water usage will be determined and managed by yourself. And, since you have your own source of water, you don't have to follow water restrictions if there are any.
If you have agricultural projects, farming activities, and construction projects, then it benefits you if you drill a borehole. You can use water for irrigation, for crops, livestock, for maintaining parks and gardens, and for construction purposes.
Water is one of the most valuable resources in our world. Did you know that there are millions of cubic meters of water underground? These come from rainfall and underground springs. If you drill a water borehole in your property, even if your place has limited water supply, it will not affect you. When there is drought, water easily evaporates, but not water underground. If you want to experience self-sufficiency in some ways, digging a water borehole is one way to do it. Relying on borehole for water instead of a public utility company gives you more independence and greater control over your water supply. You will not experience inconveniences due to water cuts and restrictions.
Another benefit of digging a waterhole is that it can save you money. Your water utility bills are also increasing. Having a water borehole in your property will give you your own underground water storel

Starting or growing a business involves many steps. In many cases, Florida business owners will reach out to others in efforts to build relationships and further their operation. Of course, with any company comes the risk of facing business litigation, so it is wise for owners to do their best to prepare for such outcomes.
One tool that can prove immensely useful in lessening the likelihood of disputes is a contract. Implementing contracts in any sales deals, partnerships, employment agreements or other relationships or events can better ensure that everyone is on the same page. Those contracts also need to be created correctly, and they need to be enforceable. If another party involved breaches the contract, business owners can take action to protect their companies.
Record keeping is also an important step in protecting one's business. Even if a legal claim does come against a company, the records could help dispute claims from others. On the other hand, if a company must make claims against an outside party, these records could also help bolster their claims. Having hard copies and digital versions of records could help ensure that they are not misplaced or accidentally destroyed.
Though many Florida company owners may hope to avoid legal disputes, it is more likely that conflict will come about. Fortunately, these claims do not have to mean the end of a company, even though they are complex to handle. Business owners may want to ensure that that understand ways to prepare for business litigation and work with their legal counsel to handle any claims effectively.

格拉纳达王国(Emirate of Granada) was the last Moorish state of the Iberian Peninsula. Ruled by the Nasrid dynasty, the emirate held the southern end of Iberia from the 13th century until it was finally extinguished by the Crown of Castile in 1492 with the Granada War, ending the centuries-long period in Spanish history known as the Reconquista where the Christian kingdoms sought to permanently expel the Islamic powers from the peninsula.[1]
In its twilight years, it was allied with the Spanish Brotherhood of Assassins while the Spanish Inquisition, under the control of the Spanish Rite of the Templar Order, pushed for Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon to wage a protracted war against it. Rather than seeking to exterminate the Moors, the Templars hoped that the conflict would devastate the economy of Castile in a convoluted scheme to eliminate any possibility that Queen Isabella would fund the expedition of Genoese explorer Christopher Columbus to the New World.[1]
In 1491, when it was far too late for the Assassins to save the emirate from collapse, Italian Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze rescued the last emir, Muhammad XII of Granada, from the clutches of the Templars and convinced him to abdicate to put an end to the violence and the Templar plot. With this, the Emirate of Granada, the last Islamic state of Iberia, came to an end.[1]

West Virginia women have chance for sweep in US House races
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Female candidates have a chance to sweep all three of West Virginia's U.S. House races this fall as part of a national wave that saw a record number of women from the two major parties file for the midterm elections.
Such an outcome would leave West Virginia with a divided congressional delegation not just by party affiliation but by gender. That would be unprecedented in a state that's elected just two women to Congress in its 155-year history. One of them, Republican Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, is the state's only current female representative.
Democrat Kendra Fershee defeated two others in the May primary and will face incumbent Republican David McKinley in the 1st District in November, while Democrat Talley Sergent will meet 2nd District GOP Rep. Alex Mooney.
In the 3rd District, where GOP Rep. Evan Jenkins made a failed run for U.S. Senate, Republican Carol Miller will take on Democrat Richard Ojeda this fall.
The national surge in female candidates, most of them Democrats, had been expected since the Women's March demonstrations just after President Donald Trump's inauguration in January 2017.
"I think women are motivated right now," Fershee said. "I think women are a driving force behind our success, but I also think men are liking what we're saying."
This year five women ran in the three U.S. House primary races in West Virginia, compared with none in 2016.
"Historically, West Virginia's congressional delegation has never been friendly toward women," said Robert Rupp, a West Virginia Wesleyan College political history professor. "In a sense, West Virginia is playing catch-up. The only interesting news is that it took them this long."
Maude Kee was the first woman from West Virginia elected to Congress after the death of her husband, Rep. John Kee. She served in the U.S. House from 1951 to 1964 and was succeeded by her son, James.
The only other congresswoman from the state was Capito, who was elected to the House in 2000 and served seven terms before being elected as a U.S. senator in 2014.
In between Kee and Capito, female candidates infrequently sought a seat in Congress. From 1964 to 1998, no more than two women in any year ran for either the U.S. Senate or U.S. House races in West Virginia. Four times during that span there were no female candidates, and 10 other times there was one. Records for the 1974 primary were unavailable on the secretary of state's website.
Miller is the only one among the three current female candidates with experience in political office. She has served 12 years in the state House of Delegates and is the daughter of the late Ohio Congressman Samuel Devine.
Miller declined an interview request. Her campaign said in a statement that she will lean on her experiences, including as a wife, mother and grandmother, "to bring West Virginia values to Washington DC."
Sergent, the state presidential campaign director for Hillary Clinton in 2016, said she was miffed at the Republican-controlled Congress for its work on the health care overhaul last year. But what drove her into candidate mode for the first time was the state's opioid epidemic. West Virginia leads the nation by far in the rate of drug overdose deaths.
Sergent said addiction is a personal issue. Her sister is an addict and Sergent's mother has adopted her sister's 11-year-old daughter.
"I'm running for her and for kids all over this state and for grandparents and for people who are fighting this drug epidemic every single day," Sergent said. "Congress is not helping us, and we need a friend and a fighter in Congress that will."
Like Sergent, Fershee also is a first-time candidate.
A West Virginia University law professor and an associate dean of academic affairs, Fershee said she was turned off by Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump in the 2016 campaign as well as the voting record of McKinley, a four-term incumbent.
The day after Trump's election, Fershee made a post on social media asking other women to run for office, "and they all said, 'We agree, you should run,'" Fershee said. "And I was like, 'That's not what I meant when I tagged you.'"

Strategy games square measure a genre of pc games that need essential thinking techniques and sometimes shrewd diplomacy. There square measure two main sub-genres of strategy games – turn-based and period. Turn-based Strategy Games like Chess let Associate in Nursing opponents move their items during static nontime period surroundings. Then finish their flip and also the opponent will likewise. During a period strategy game, each group move their units/pieces and management their bases, castles, and cities at an equivalent time. It's a lot of like real warfare. Nearly all of the time, a technique game could be a simulation wherever players command units and armies in the war against their opponents.
The first vital Turn-based Strategy Games were Sid Meyer's masterpiece, likely one among the most uncomplicated games of all time. Though this can be a subjective viewpoint – Civilization. In Civilization, you had to make cities, recruit armies and take over or civilize the entire world. Whether or not by force, diplomacy, building the seven wonders of the planet, or by technology. I spent many hours of my young life enjoying this game. Civilization wasn't merely a turn-based strategy game; however, it had been an educational game also. As every time you researched new technologies, there would be a quick article on what you had studied and its implications within the game. Also, it's a game wherever you have got to explore the total globe to overcome it.
Debatably, the first-period Turn-based Strategy Games of significance was dune two – free by Westwood Studios in 1992. In dune two, you selected one among three races – noble Atreides, evil Harkonnen, or the weird Ordos. And battled for possession of the earth Arrakis or dune. Currently, players battled the pc in the period – building bases, defenses, troops, and assaultive an equivalent in live-action.
Following this came Warcraft – 'Orcs verse Humans' free by Blizzard in 1994 – a game that created period strategy games widespread. Here Orcs battled humans and also the outcome of the humanity invigorated on your shoulders.
The factor concerning early Turn-based Strategy Games is that though they were fun. The synthetic intelligence was lacking because the enemy would usually mire on the thanks to your base or behave in a random manner. Therefore programmers developed the 'A* algorithm' that allowed the enemy to seek out its approach through a maze to your base. Consequently, the enemy would get to you, notwithstanding what.
Following these games, there are many alternative masterpieces within the genres like Age Of surprise (turn-based) Warcraft two and three, Starcraft one and a couple of and another cult classic Command and Conquer. If you fancy this genre of games, I extremely advocate you get a hold of a duplicate of Civilization, dune two, and also the 1st WarCraft. These square measure no doubt collector's things.
If you pay tons of your time online, there could also be moments once you can have to compelled to take an occasion. A Turn-based Strategy Games is that the short kind of a massively multiplayer online game. That always involves some role enjoying. Players and actions square measure unconnected into separated activities and formations called turns. Before committing any acts within the turn-based strategy game, players square measure allowed to research things, to confirm that the flow of the sport isn't interrupted by analysis.

POV | Promotion | The Learning - Trailer
One hundred years ago, American teachers established the English-speaking public school system of the Philippines. Now, in a striking turnabout, American schools are recruiting Filipino teachers. "The Learning" is the story of four Filipino women who reluctantly leave their families and schools to teach in Baltimore. Their ideals about America, however, soon clash with Baltimore's tough realities.


text: Yep, it sure is! I'm not a Texan so I couldn't tell you how much snow is usual around here but if I had to guess I would say only once or twice in… years!! We were getting dinner at Chuy's restaurant when it started snowing and by the time we returned to the RV it was practically like blizzard conditions. It's definitely a rare event here. Everyone was outside ohhing and ahhing about the snow. Taking their pictures and twirling around like it was money falling from the sky–it was pretty funny to watch. Being from Colorado, snow is nothing new to me but I will admit I was fairly excited to see it here in Austin. Errin on the other hand was a bit less than thrilled. She was hoping to see no snow this year… All well, good times!

My books are set in Appalachia–primarily West Virginia (the only state entirely in Appalachia). I chose that setting because it's where I grew up and because I have a passion for these mountains–these soft, well-worn, Eastern mountains.
So I've decided to devote one blog post each week to something Appalachian–food, fauna, folklore–the good stuff. Maybe I'll include stories from my childhood or stories from the history of the region. Perhaps some recipes (my mother's fried squirrel recipe has already put in an appearance). If you have suggestions–let me know.
Today, I thought I'd write about bloodroot. I found some blooming on our weekend hike and have always been intrigued by this lovely, yet potentially lethal plant. The name comes from the red sap in the root, which can be used as a dye. In small doses it can stimulate breathing, treat heart problems, relieve migraines, and inhibit plaque on the teeth. In larger doses, it's likely to kill you. Well now.
Isn't that the way? Something lovely and helpful, when taken to extremes, turns lethal. There's a life lesson there.
Bloodroot is also the name of a collection of writings by Appalachian women. I discovered it while researching the plant and it's definitely going on my to-read list. Essays, short stories, poetry, and letters by the likes of Lee Smith, Bennie Lee Sinclair, Sheila Kay Adams, Sharyn McCrumb, Jayne Anne Phillips, and others. If you don't know these fabulous Appalachian authors–seek them out.

Do you actually get better when it's panic time?
Question: "I've found during my admin career that when I'm up against a deadline—especially an unexpected one—I become super-efficient and focused, and even my ideas on how to problem-solve are sharper and better. And if something creative is called for, I'm suddenly filled with good notions when the clock is running out. Generally, it takes a little bit of panic to bring out the very best worker in me! Does anyone else have this problem, and has anyone found a way to generate a sense of urgency when there really is none?" – Karen, Legal Assistant

LITTLE Genesis Stone looks so much like Princess Charlotte she thinks she is her.
The two-year-old squeals her nickname "Sisi" each time she sees pictures of the royal.
And she loves to wear similar outfits to Prince William and Kate's daughter.
Dad Travis, of Bicester, Oxfordshire, said:"We first noticed the similarity a couple of months ago when one of our friends sent us a link on Facebook to a picture of Princess Charlotte in a yellow cardigan.
"All our friends spotted the likeness. She likes being a princess."

David Challenges Goliath
When the two armies faced each other, Goliath challenged any soldier from King Saul's army to single combat, as was the custom of battle in those days. Goliath also wanted to show off his strength. The men were terrorized, and no one had enough courage to volunteer. The king offered the hand of his pretty daughter in marriage to the man who would fight Goliath, but even this tempting offer did not change the deadly silence among his soldiers.
Then, to everyone's surprise, a youth stepped forward. A roar of laughter echoed from the enemy's side, and even Saul's men shook their heads.
The young man was David (Dawud), from the city of Bethlehem. His elderly father had chosen three of his sons to join Saul's army. He had instructed the youngest one, David, not to take part in the fighting but to help the army in other ways and to report to his father daily on what was happening on the war front.
Although Saul was very impressed by the youth's courage, he said: "I admire your courage, but you are no match for that mighty warrior. Let the strong men come forward." David, however, had already decided and was willing to meet the challenge. Proudly, he told the king that only the day before he had killed a lion which had threatened his father's sheep, and on another occasion he had killed a bear. He asked Saul not to judge him by his appearance, for he feared no man or wild beast. Saul, surprised by young David's brave stance, agreed: "My brave soldier, if you are willing, then may Allah guard you and grant you strength!"
Allah Gives David the Kingdom
Almighty Allah declared:
"So they routed them by Allah's Leave and David killed Goliath, and Allah gave him (David) the kingdom (after the death of Saul and Samuel) and wisdom, and taught him of that which He willed. And if Allah did not check one set of people by means of another, the earth would indeed be full of mischief. But Allah is full of Bounty to the Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exist). (Ch 2:251 Quran).
David Becomes a Prophet
David became the most famous man among the Israelites. However, he was not inveigled by this;
he was not a prisoner of fame or leadership but a prisoner of Allah's love.
Therefore, after killing Goliath he went out into the desert in the company of nature, glorifying Almighty Allah and contemplating His favors.
"Verily, We made the mountains to glorify Our Praises with him (David) in the Ashi (after the mid-day till sunset) and Ishraq (after the sunrise till mid-day). And (so did) the birds assembled:
all with him (David) did turn (to Allah, glorified His Praises). We made his kingdom strong and gave him wisdom and sound judgment in speech and decision. (Ch 38:18-20 Quran)
Creatures such as the plants, birds, beasts, and even the mountains responded to his voice glorifying Allah. Allah had chosen David to be a prophet and revealed the Psalms to him. As He the Almighty said: "And to David We gave the Psalms." (Ch 17:55 Quran).
David is Granted the Language of Animals
David recited his scripture and glorified Allah while the mountains joined him praise and the birds rallied around him. Almighty Allah directed:
Be patient (O Muhammad) of what they say, and remember Our slave David, endured with power. Verily, he was ever oft-returning in all matters and in repentance toward Allah. (Ch 38:17 Quran).
David's sincerity was not the only factor responsible for the birds and beasts joining with him in glorifying Allah, nor was the sweetness of his voice. IT was a miracle from Allah. This was not his only miracle, for Allah also endowed him with the faculty of understanding the languages of birds and animals.
David Becomes King
Time passed and Saul was killed in a battle in which David did not take part.
David succeeded Saul, for the people remembered what he had done for them and elected him king. So it was that David the Prophet was also a king.
Allah strengthened the dominion of David and made him victorious. His kingdom was strong and great; his enemies feared him without engaging in war with him.
The Death of Prophet David
David worshipped Allah, glorified Him and sang His praise until he died. According to traditions, David died suddenly and was mourned by four thousand priests as well as thousands of people.
It was so hot that people suffered from the intensity of the sun. Solomon called the birds to protect David and the people from the sun, and they did so until he was buried. This was the first sign of his dominion to be witnessed by the people.

The sport of soccer is growing in North America and more kids are beginning to dream of playing at a higher level. With that being said you'll need to separate yourself from the competition and below are some areas you can apply to your game which will help you do so.
1) Be a 10 in something: you're a good overall dribbler, have great stamina and your game is well rounded. However, be the best in one area of the game. I like to call it "being a 10." For instance, if you are a great header of the ball, can shoot from distance or have tremendous speed with the ball make it a goal of yours to master this one area of your game. If you are 10 in an area of the game then it will help overshadow any areas where you may not be as strong as others. Not only that but you'll be a great threat to your opposition.
2) Have a perfect first touch on the ball: let's assume that everyone on your team has a good touch on the ball. However, there will be certain times in a game when your touch on the ball will be the difference between winning the game or not. In fact, many players on your team would panic, lose control of the ball or totally miss time the ball. You don't have to be that player. One of the best ways to improve your touch is practice controlling the ball from all kinds of scenarios as this is how it'll be in a game. Once your touch on the ball is top notch you will not only impress everybody else but yourself. Watch video of Zidane, his moves and his incredible touch on the ball.
3) Have a positive attitude: when the going gets tough how do you act? Are you positive? Do you complain? What kind of body language do you portray? Is it always someone else's fault? Having a positive attitude will help inspire your teammates and yourself. If you're always negative it will carry over into your game and bring you down. By having a clear state of mind and one that is happy will help you focus on your job at hand.
4) Have a winning attitude: a winning attitude will shine through and others will notice that. In fact, those players are indifferent about winning or losing also can't hide it. It's better to have a winning attitude. This means if you win, be professional about it. Shake your opponents and the officials hands after the match. Eye contact and a firm handshake will resonate much better than a limp wrist shake and looking off to the side. Enjoy your victory. You don't have to show boat but surely you can celebrate. It becomes contagious and others will join in.
5) Be a workhorse: no matter how good you are, you have to work for your success. Even the best players in the world work hard. With technology that counts the kilometers each player runs in a game you can see that when they come off the field off in the 65th minute some players will have run well over 10km. The best players are often the hardest working players in practice and games.
6) Don't complain: people that complain are plain and simple annoying. They find an excuse for everything and it's always someone else's fault. Every bad pass made or received requires a scream, grunt, flailing arms or a facial expression that says it all. Don't be this person.
7) Be a leader: no one ever said you could not be leader. Nothing is preventing you from taking the bull by the horns so to speak. Before the game in team meetings, in the team huddle, at half time and after games are great times to step up and be vocal. Take that leadership role.
8) Stay late after practice to work individually: after each training session stay for thirty minutes and work on a part of your game that is lacking. This may be taking free kicks and penalty shots. It could be using your left foot, heading, crossing, dribbling or cardio work. Whatever it is, staying after training for an extra thirty minutes to work on this will help hone your skills. Soon it will become difficult to find a weakness in your game.
9) Be mature: maturity is a decision we make. Surely kids will be kids but at a certain point you are smart enough to decide how mature or immature you want to be. This also goes for your actions off the field. Many immature athletes will make poor decisions off the field which hurt them physically and or prevent them from advancing their athletic careers. Be smart about the choices you make. Be mature!
10) Show you have experience: experience comes with time but there are game situations that replay themselves. Learn from your mistakes and don't repeat them. Seek guidance and advice and implement what you have learned so that those same errors don't repeat themselves. By doing so your experience will begin to show.
How do you separate yourself from the competition?

Etude House_Honey Cera
Full of cute and accessible pink-colored products
Full of cute and accessible pink-colored products, the doll-house styled boutique Etude House caters to a young clientele. How can we offer a new and significantly less "kawaii" centered product range to the same consumers?
The challenge was taken on by centdegrés, charged with inventing the identity of the Korean brand's new skincare line, Honey Cera. Made from honey and ceramides, the line is aimed at adolescents and young women in search of functional and intelligent products.
To create the graphic foundations and visual aspects of Honey Cera, centdegrés combined the natural softness of honey with the technical influence of the ceramides. The agency paired honeycombs to functional laboratory pictograms and the warm blond color of honey to crisp and clinical white to create a product both serious and pretty. The packaging designed by centdegrés in white and honey exhibit both the technical and natural aspects of the product. The design replicates the round and compact visual codes of the brand as well as the healthy purity of bottled water and the shape of traditional remedy containers.
The result preserves the brand's DNA while accompanying and introducing young clients of Etude House to a new story and experience, just as soft and efficient but more advanced.
