Shadow Shaman is a versatile semi-support hero with a claim to be the best disabler in the game. He has a massive bag of tricks up his sleeve, and will be a constant thorn in the side of the opposition.
Rhasta is a great pusher, ganker and team fighter. He also makes a very effective counter to mobile heroes.
+ Very versatile
+ Great selection of different spells
+ Low cooldown times
+ Massive disabling ability
+ Great pusher
+ Can initiate with the right items
- Somewhat squishy
- Can burn through mana very quickly
- Slow projectile speed
- Lacks damage in late game
- Slow movement speed
There's two roles that Rhasta can do for the team - either as a ganking/pushing mid, or a support hero in either side lane. As a mid, Rhasta is fairly average until he gets his Ultimate, but can easily take out his opponent at that point. He then needs to be very aggressive, looking for ganks and pushing opportunities in other lanes.
As a support hero, Rhasta's mix of disables and harassment is very effective with a ganking or DPS partner, and adequate for babysitting. His slow speed means that you need to be careful with your positioning though.
Role also plays a big part in item decisions, we'll cover this later.
Rhasta's nuking skill is a great spell for farming, harassment and team fights. As you level it up, the damage and number of targets hit increases. The damage is applied equally to all targets hit.
The main point about using Ether Shock is that it will hit the first target, then branch out to any nearby targets in a wide cone behind it - so target it wisely depending on the level and who you actually want to hit.
Try to get Ether Shock to level 2 before making much use of it, as it massively increases its potential damage for a very minor mana increase.
One of the few heroes to start with a Hex ability, Rhasta can turn an enemy hero into a harmless chicken for several seconds. Not only is this hilarious, but it reduces their movement speed, armour and stops them attacking or using abilities.
Hex is relatively expensive, mana-wise, and Shackles is a better disable if you want to gank. However, Hex doesn't require channelling - so is your best spell for escaping.
Whether to skill Hex or Shackles first is discussed further into the guide.
When you're playing against him, Shackles is easily the most annoying spell in Rhasta's armoury. It's a long, channelled disable that also inflicts a small amount of damage. The channelling means that you cannot cast any other spells, move or attack while you use Shackles, but neither can the enemy hero.
This makes it an excellent ganking spell, provided you have support, or can use your Mass Serpent Wards to supply the damage instead.
Later on especially, get used to the timings on both Hex and Shackles so that you can chain stun a single target for the maximum possible time (8.25 seconds).
Mass Serpent Wards summons a block of fiery wards that will attack any nearby enemies. They are completely immune to magic, although they can be damaged by normal attacks. The wards have a long duration, and also a fairly long cooldown time of nearly 2 minutes.
Wards aren't very smart, and will auto-attack creeps rather than heroes and towers - select and manually target them. Also be aware they provide gold to enemy heroes who destroy them.
Although their damage is improved by Aghanim's Scepter, wards are at their most effective in the early-mid game when they can swiftly focus down towers and enemy heroes alike. Ideally, as soon as you reach level 6 you should be trying to push as often as they recharge. Ensure you have plenty of creeps for a push, as wards will be swiftly destroyed by towers if there are no other targets.
Wards can also be used as your 3rd disable - it's a little bit tricky, but you can trap enemy heroes inside them with careful or creative targeting. For example, you could easily trap a stunned or stationary opponent - or even on an allied Vengeful Spirit who then swaps an enemy in!
Early game this is likely to be lethal, especially if you follow up with Shackles. Later in the game this is still damaging and annoying for an opponent, but really you should save it for team fights and base pushes.
Rhasta is extremely versatile when it comes to items, and it's impossible to specify items you should always pick. Your choices depend on your role, farm, and the needs of your team. I'm not going to tell you what to buy, just take you through some of the most common items and when they make sense.
Start out by buying wards or a courier, unless you're playing as a mid. You may want to a consider a Bottle, but Rhasta lacks the mobility to compete against proper rune ***** heroes.
Generally you need at least one stats item early game ( Null Talisman, Bracer or Magic Wand) to help you with last hitting/denying (as appropriate) and to top up your relatively poor health pool.
Next up, you'll almost always want Arcane Boots for the extra mana and regeneration, plus offering utility to team mates.
If you took the mid role, you're likely to have more gold, and other support heroes on the team who can pick up the utility items. You should concentrate on increasing your health/mana pool, and looking at items like Black King Bar and Blink Dagger to allow you to gank and initiate.
As a support hero, it's possible that you're also responsible for warding and so will have a lot less gold to spend on yourself. You should accept this role and concentrate on intelligence/mana, and good utility items as you will not have the health to initiate properly anyway.
Eul's Scepter of Divinity Worth a mention at the top of the list, Euls is a relatively cheap item that helps Shaman in a number of ways. It provides good mana regen, as well as a lot of movement speed. Cyclone deserves a special mention, as it makes it incredibly easy to ward trap somebody- just send them up in the air, and place the wards where they will land.
Aghanim's Scepter A good choice of Rhasta regardless of role, adding much needed stats and pool points. It offers a good increase to the damage output of Serpent Wards, regardless of their level.
Black King Bar Only for a rich Rhasta, this items makes you immune to most abilities, pretty much guaranteeing you will get all of your abilities off in a team fight. Great item if you are initiating.
Blink Dagger Again, only if you have a fair bit of gold and most of the items you need already. Blink gives you a great initiation/ganking option, as well as an escape.
Bloodstone Such a great item on Rhasta, it adds a ton of health, mana and regeneration, meaning you can basically fire off your abilities as much as you want. It also allows you to respawn more quickly, and adds health regeneration for allies in the area where you died.
Scythe of Vyse A farmed up Rhasta is a good sheepstick carrier, adding yet another hex to his arsenal, as well as greatly increased intelligence.
Refresher Orb Another expensive item, it allows you use serpent wards more often; or even twice in a single fight. Very nice, but this is a true luxury item for when you already have an Aghanim's and a Bloodstone.
Mekansm A good Mek carrier, Rhasta benefits from the increased armour and health generation. Just be careful to leave a little mana to use this! Get this if nobody else on the team has.
Pipe of Insight Not really a natural Pipe carrier due to the cost and his low health pool, Rhasta still gains a lot from the magic resistance and should be in a good position to use it in team fights.
Force Staff A very useful item on Rhasta, giving him a form of short range initiation, escape and way of manipulating the positioning in team fights. Excellent with a Bloodseeker on your team, and when heroes such as Nature's Prophet and Enigma are on the opposition. Yes, you can force allies out of a Black Hole!
Drum of Endurance Useful combination of stats, movement and attack speed aura for the team. This allows you to get a bracer early to boost your survivability. Get if it nobody else on the team does.
Urn of Shadows This is more of a gankers tool, and you should avoid it if someone else on your team already has one. You will be frequently involved in ganks and team fights so should get plenty of charges. The strength increase and mana regen boost are nice too.
Veil of Discord Even with his Ether Shock, Rhasta doesn't really have enough nuking power to make this worthwhile if it's just for him - but could be well worth it if others on your team do. The stats and armour are nice too.
Rhasta is a great pick against mobile heroes such as Anti-Mage, Queen of Pain and Storm Spirit. They rely on their movement abilities to survive, and are easy prey if locked down.
As a semi-support, Rhasta works best when laning with a DPS or burst damage hero - such as Huskar, Ursa, Tiny or Lina. He also works very well as part of a push strat lineup.
Rhasta suffers a lot against heroes with silencing abilities such as Bloodseeker, Drow Ranger or Doom Bringer. You really have very little to offer without your spells.
Strong gankers such as Pudge and Tiny can cause you problems if they catch you out. Night Stalker deserves a special mention as his combination of speed, silence and damage can make your life a misery.
Rhasta is just too slow to make a good long lane solo.
In teamfights you should look to fire off your abilities as quickly as possible, as the enemy team will attempt to focus you down. You have to consider the situation - it might be vital that you just disable a single enemy hero for as long as possible before they can fire off a big power or smack your allies about. Normally though, you try to make full use of your powers - like so:
Start off by dropping your wards- they are your most powerful spell, and will continue fighting even if you go down. Try to trap an enemy hero inside if possible, but at least aim for the "centre of gravity" of the fight so they continue to inflict damage.
Next, fire off a hex at the most dangerous enemy hero- sometimes this will be their carry, but heroes with big team fight abilities such as Tidehunter, Enigma and Sand King should also be considered. As are nukers like Lina and Lion.
Next, hit as many heroes as possible with your Ether Shock - simply aim for the closest one in a group. If you have any active ability items, such as a Sheepstick or Eul's now is the time to use them.
Finally (well, hopefully very soon after!), find a target for your shackles and lock them down. This could be the person you already hex'd, or it might be somebody else depending on how the fight is shaping up. Ether Shock should nearly be available again by the time your Shackle ends, and can be useful for finishing off fleeing survivors.
Having two disables can let you pull off all sorts of creative manoeuvres - you can make some stunning rescues, ganks, and turn around all sorts of situations that seem to be going bad. Shackling tower divers never gets old :).
Like your item choices, you should be flexible on your builds for Shadow Shaman - all of his skills are useful, it's just a question of which you need to level up most urgently.
Ether Shock - you want at least 2 levels in this before using it for harassment, although 1 level can be enough to finish off a fleeing hero. It's also useful if you want to be able push your lane forward quickly.
Hex - this is primarily a defensive skill in the early stages of the game - it doesn't inflict damage or disable for as long or as completely as Shackles. But it lets you continue moving and casting, getting you or an ally out of trouble.
Shackles - although you can sometimes use this to protect an ally, often it will leave you in a bad position instead. However, it's an extremely useful ganking tool and makes it easy to setup kills for other players. It also combines better with Wards as the enemy hero can't move out of range.
Mass Serpent Ward - take this as often as it's available in almost all situations. Occasionally the mana cost at level 3 can be a problem if you've been having a bad game and struggled to get the items you need.
Personally, I usually prefer to level Ether Shock and Shackles early game, with the occasional point in Hex to give the option of an extra disable or non-channelled disable. Every game is different though, and you need to adjust accordingly.

Women's Center
2016 That Takes Ovaries Cast
That Takes Ovaries/ The Vagina Monologues
From 2000 to 2013, St. Cloud State University hosted an annual production of The Vagina Monologues with proceeds donated to local programs that directly serve victims of sexual and domestic violence. Hundreds of women students from St. Cloud State University have performed and provided leadership for this international event.
The Vagina Monologues (http://www.eveensler.org/plays/the-vagina-monologues), written and created by Eve Ensler, is made up of monologues read by a varying number of actors. Every monologue somehow relates to the vagina, be it through sex, love, rape, menstruation, mutilation, masturbation, birth, orgasm, the variety of names for the vagina, or simply as a physical aspect of the body. A recurring theme throughout the production is the vagina as a tool of female empowerment, and the embodiment of individuality.
In 1998, Ensler launched V-Day (http://www.vday.org), a global non-profit that has raised over $50 million for women's anti-violence groups. The Women's Center and Women's Action team up with students to perform The Vagina Monologues and raise money through the V-day campaign for local organizations that share the mission of ending violence against women and girls.
In February 2014, the Women's Center debuted a production of That Takes Ovaries (http://www.thattakesovaries.org/), a play that celebrates bold and courageous women and their equally bold and courageous acts, adapted from the book of the same name. In April 2015, The Women's Center joined 9 other college and universities across the state in inaugurating SLUT: The Play (http://www.sluttheplay.com/), which problematizes victim blaming, slut shaming and use of the word "slut." These events feature student actors, producers and directors. Students, faculty, staff and St. Cloud community members are welcome and encouraged to participate in these annual theatrical productions.

A Walk Through the New Madewell Magazine
September 5, 2012
I love getting catalogues in the mail…especially Madewell catalogues. What I really like about Madewell (other than their interesting styling, etc) is that the catalogue is so huge. It makes me want to write all over it…and that's exactly what I did.
Please forgive the misspelling of 'dyed'. I was kind of on a sarcastic animal rights roll and totally botched the spelling.

Thirty-One Things - Learn
4 comments:

Fun list of things you have been learning. We have a bird feeder outside of our dining room to watch all the various birds feed and come and go. I am not a personality that loves to learn though - not a lot of patience or fortitude in this arena. I do love photography and memory keeping - I am a Project Life gal. God bless you sweet sister!!!ReplyDelete
I love personality tests! Which one does colors?ReplyDelete
We have so much in common. I love photographing birds and nature. I love learning and writing. I love that green is linked with learning too. I hope you will join us at Literacy Musing Mondays we are a community all about learning, reading, and writing. Here is this weeks link: http://maryanderingcreatively.com/literacy-musing-mondays-importance-of-reading-for-writers/ReplyDelete
I can see we have a lot in common! I was hit by the birding bug and the photography bug about the same time--now I consider both of those activities to be my 'therapy'. Beautiful shot of a Northern Bobwhite! Have you discovered eBird and the Feeder Count projects?ReplyDelete

White Chocolate Raspberry Bread
Some flavors just go together, white chocolate and raspberries are two that definitely work so I decided to combine them into an easy to make treat. And since this is made into a breakfast bread you have an excuse to eat it first thing in the morning, plus it goes great with coffee! The chocolate flavor is going to come from white chocolate instant pudding and white chocolate chips. The raspberry flavor comes from raspberry yogurt and seedless raspberry preserves. If you have trouble finding seedless raspberry preserves you can heat up regular raspberry preserves in the microwave in bursts of 30 seconds until melted then strain through a fine mesh strainer. Or if that sounds like to much trouble leave the seeds in, they won't hurt anything.
Prep the pan
First preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray a loaf pan with nonstick spray. You can also line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper to make sure the bread comes out easily.
Mix the batter
To make the bread, mix together the dry ingredients including the pudding mix and white chocolate chips.
In a separate bowl, mix all the wet ingredients except the oil and raspberry preserves then add to the dry ingredients and stir. The batter will look kind of thick.
Finally fold in the oil, I know it seems weird but it works in the end.
Pour about half into the prepared pan and layer with half the preserves. Next add the other half of the batter, and finally top with the rest of the preserves and gently swirl together.
Bake for about 45-50 minutes or until dark golden brown and a toothpick inserted the middle comes out with just a few crumbs. Let the bread rest for about five minutes in pan before removing then cool before slicing and enjoy!
|Prep Time
|10 minutes
|Cook Time
|50 minutes
- 1 box instant white chocolate pudding mix 3.56 ounces
- 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup raspberry yogurt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup seedless raspberry preserves
Dry ingredients
Wet ingredients
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a loaf pan with non stick spray. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment and then spray parchment. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl combine dry ingredients and in a separate bowl combine all wet ingredients except vegetable oil and raspberry preserves. Add wet ingredients to dry. Finally gently fold in vegetable oil.
- Pour half of the batter into your prepared loaf pan and drop half of the raspberry preserves by spoonfulls over the batter, then top with the rest of the batter and the last of the preserves and swirl with knife.
- Bake 45-50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with just a few crumbs. Let bread cool about five minutes before turning out of pan and cooling.

I want to say something about how if you go to Sweden, you shouldn't just see Stockholm, but you should also go to the west coast of Sweden cause it's like, soooo different. But it's not really that different. Sitting farther south than Stockholm, it would seem likely to have better weather, but like everywhere in Sweden it can be hit-or-miss. When I went, it happened to hit.
One of the things I love most about Sweden is that it's actually a place where (if you speak English), it really is possible to go and interact with "the culture" as you travel, because everyone in Sweden also speaks English. Whether or not they're willing to talk to you, however, is another matter. Luckily, I have a friend who lives in Gothenburg so I have a head start. It's always best when you already have people to have a fika with, or to organize a picnic at the Slottsskogen.
While it looks and feels a lot like Stockholm (albeit on a smaller scale), there's no bad place to spend a summer day in Sweden.

Of all foods on the planet, spices rank at the top for antioxidant activity and phytonutrient content on a weight-for-weight basis. This means that incorporating even small amounts of them into your diet can give a big boost to your overall intake of antioxidants and phytonutrients. For example, a teaspoon of dried oregano has the antioxidant capacity of an entire apple. As we well know, antioxidants are essential for neutralizing the dangerous free radicals generated in our body by our normal metabolism or by external influences such as UV radiation from sunlight or environmental toxins. The high levels of antioxidants in spices protects our DNA from damage incurred by these free radicals, thereby preventing cancer and slowing the aging process. The specific phytonutrients in individual spices are responsible for their many various beneficial effects on the body, such as anti-inflammation, or promoting the health of specific organs and systems.
Choose a spice from the menu to learn more about the scientifically proven benefits it has for your health.

Can you imagine a world where each morning you wake up and face a day where you find that you are going out into a world that throws obstacles in your way at every turn and when you try to explain those obstacles, you just cannot? You know they exist, you feel the results of them; you know that some people treat you differently. Sometimes people talk as if you don't exist, or worse make light of what you are saying whilst you are standing there as if you aren't there at all. You know something is happening that feels like exclusion but when someone asks, you are not able to explain what you mean. You know you could have a better job, you could have more money and you could feel more in charge of your life but somehow these simple things elude you. People around you tell you that you should be grateful for what you have and that you should not worry. You are so lucky and other people wish that they were just like you, but you feel that every day you are fighting against issues and inequalities that are sometimes overwhelming. They drain you and worry you, and ultimately drag you down making you weary and less inclined to speak up again tomorrow. In fact, the tiredness silences you.
Sadly, this is how many women feel way too often. It might be that we do way more housework than our partners, and we are just sick of asking them to step up. Alternatively, that you have put off something important so many times because you feel guilty that you aren't doing what you should be doing, these thoughts of something better just get pushed to the background yet again, and you feel hopeless. It is hard because there is a complex array of inequalities that are both seen and unseen and although it seems like some barriers have been removed, in practice they still exist and you feel constrained and not able to live up to your full potential.
It might be because you are just living over the poverty line as a single parent and each day is a struggle. You feel you don't have a voice and the more you try to get ahead the harder each day seems to get. Each year another government policy comes into force that is supposed to 'help you', but instead creates even more complex issues for you to overcome, and you get more weary and less inclined to try each time another setback happens.
It might be that we feel we work really hard at our jobs, are highly educated and productive but are continually passed over for promotion year after year when we see the promotion go to someone we know is less productive and less capable.
On the other hand, that you hear on the news that 'only 17 countries have a female President or Prime Minister and women's average presence in parliaments across the globe is only 21% of the total ministers. Recent actual voting data using the Chilean voter model, found that women were less likely to vote for a women than they would for a man' regardless of policy (Francisco Pino, 2013)[i]. You wonder, "why don't women support each other?" All this makes you tired, tired of swimming upstream and fighting against the odds that seem so insurmountable that you think no one could ever win against them.
This is what life is like for many women, even the successful ones.
It is early days and we have centuries of behaviours and societal norms to change before we really see big changes in gender equality. These behaviours exist for both men and women and can be as simple as the belief by young women that she has to wait for the man to ask her to marry, instead of just asking him. All this waiting has the effect of silencing women, subordinating them to the backseat of decision-making. Of marking time until 'something changes', and ultimately it prevents many women from getting 'off the sidelines'[ii] and getting on with it.
In the workplace, many of our organisations are developing gender diversity policies to combat some of these issues. Some are more successful than others are, but the important thing is that we have begun. Now we need to really leverage these initiatives and turn theory and rhetoric into economic performance and a more equitable living condition for women and minorities. I believe that by 'silencing' the weary women we are constraining our ability to resolve many of the organisational performance issues that hamper our economies, largely because our organisational leaders don't hear women's voices often and loud enough – the voices that provide alternative views and ways of thinking.
Australia has been relatively successful in increasing women's participation in the workforce, but there is still a long way to go and many prejudices and discriminatory practices lie just beneath the surface. The new gender indicators introduced by legislation in 2012 by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency WGEA, 2012[iii], previously known as EEO, seeks to unmask some of these underlying and often hidden issues.
"What is important to recognise is that an organisation's gender culture is hidden behind the dominate rhetoric of equality, (Benschop and Doorewaad, 1998; Tienari et al., Ainsworth et al. (2009) in North-Samadizic (2011)[iv]. For example, in an analysis of reports to Australia's EEO regulatory body, Ainsworth et al. (2009) demonstrated how organisations are blind to gender through unstated male norms that suppress gender differences". North-Samadizic (2011). They gave the example of organisations stating in reports that gender is irrelevant or insignificant to the hiring and promotions process." Therefore, gender structure, gender identity and gender symbolisism can limit equality if it is present in the 'gendered subtexts of organisational rhetoric' (Taska 2011).
That is; although these organisations purport to have equality, assessments show there remains a bias' in recruitment processes and within cultural behaviours themselves. Gender Symbolism and subtexts, both verbal and behavioural convey a set of 'meanings' that can maintain gender inequalities by quietly working to prevent change in environments where women are seen as the 'other'. This plays into stranger theories where white male masculinity is the norm and the term 'woman' can hold less value that the term 'man'.
Imagine this instead.
Now imagine a world where all the seen and unseen barriers to women's success are removed and think about the incredible potential that is now unleashed. With economies struggling all over the globe, isn't it about time we smashed through these barriers and took advantage of this potential. If women were a commodity (and sometimes they are seen as that), or assets in a storeroom any business would seek to improve that assets performance instead of marginalising it and leaving it to underperform. We don't see women as a natural and valuable resource. We often see them as expendable as collateral damage in war or simply there to support others or provide menial labour, and worse we see them as a cost to society and our organisations because of their biology. This valuable biology carries the promise of new life, the birthing of children without which there would be no need for discussions about performance, economics and politics because simply, there would be no humankind.
Why do we let the enormous potential of half this valuable population languish?
Just think for a moment what it would be like to be freed of the expectations of physical beauty and the never-ending focus on sexiness and youth and instead we welcomed experience and substance. Imagine if it was just as easy for women to excel in their jobs and for female entrepreneurs to have the same access to capital as their male counterparts do because they are more able to tap into existing networks where capital raising is common. Imagine a world where stay at home parents were valued, able to nurture their families without the threat of poverty or losing valuable job experience at every turn. Imagine a world where we no longer referred to 'the burden of childcare" and instead this cost was factored in across society because it is seen as valuable.
Our economies would benefit from new industries and new ways of thinking instead of the current system that fails us at regular intervals because it is built on the boom and bust mentality of status, greed and power instead of sustainability and common sense. The finance sector takes pride in being able to predict the next bull or bear market instead of planning on sustainability and inclusion.
In short, gender equality is essential to increasing economic sustainability, increasing organisational performance and breathing new life into the way we think, work and live.
What a world it is going to be!

The Polish Investment & Trade Agency – Cosmetics Industry Tour Poland 2019
The Polish Investment & Trade Agency recently invited international Cosmetic businesses and media delegates from China, UAE, Turkey and Indonesia to visit Poland, to look in detail at the Polish cosmetics industry.
Funded in part by the European Union under the European Regional Development Fund, the Polish Investment and Trade Agency hosted a four-day 'cosmetic study tour' in Warsaw, Poland. Taking place from 07 – 10th March. The tour's participants were international buyers and journalists, invited to Warsaw in Poland to learn and understand the dynamics of Polish cosmetics producers.
During each March beauty buyers should take advantage of attending the Beauty Forum in Poland, this year the event was held from March 9th – 10th. The International Business Forum is an exclusive area for foreign producers and investors looking for business partners in Poland.
The Polish Investment & Trade Agency does it best to intensify Polish exports. Supporting entrepreneurs, the Agency assists in overcoming administrative and legal procedures related to specific projects as well as helps to develop legal solutions, find a suitable location, reliable partners and suppliers.
My first interaction with The Polish Investment & Trade Agency, was at Cosmoprof Hong Kong 2018. Maja Justyna, Project Manager was part of the government team exhibiting at the trade show. Maja came into the Press Office to meet with some industry professionals and to invite us to a press meeting on their stand.
Only due to her Polish tenacity, was she able to bring together a group of press, who met with various cosmetic companies from Poland attending Cosmoprof. Robert Zawaszki Deputy Director of The Polish Investment & Trade Agency is responsible for maintaining the relationship between Polish companies, industry organizations, chambers of commerce and foreign offices of the Agency. Mr. Zawaszki headed up the cosmetic team when they attended Cosmoprof in Hong Kong.
Maja's follow up on behalf of Polish companies was to bring this business and media professional group to Poland to see firsthand how Poland drives business. So, from the trade show floor we find ourselves in Warsaw and ready to meet Businesses, Associations, Factories and Celebrity global brands.
Naturativ, based just outside of Warsaw, was the first of many exciting companies to visit. They are based in a wonderful authentic building and if you are in Warsaw, go and see their products at their head office. The building truly reflects the nature and history of this young dynamic company.
Magda Hajduk has been leading a team of creative executives for the past 10 years. Her team works to deliver effective natural skincare. One of Naturativ's "hero products" are their Face Serums – Eco Ampoules. There are five in their range and reviews for each one is highly rated. These include one for acne, couperose, hypoallergenic, dry and sensitive as well as the eye area.
Chantal professional hair care offered the group an opportunity to visit to their impressive research and development head office. A professional and retail haircare line wholly manufactured in Poland. Seeing first hand their production factory, and their R&D department was for many cosmetic buyers a highlight, and a decision-making part of the business trip, where seeing is truly believing. The high quality and standard put in place by the entire team of Chantal reflected the enduring high-quality Poland delivers to the world.
Chantal features its own research-development branch where most of the innovative formulas are prepared. The first company in Central Europe that introduced the keratin system for hair smoothening without formaldehyde.
A key part of Chantal is The Prosalon Professional Training Academy offering an authorized training system in the art of hairdressing, from the basic level, up to specialized, extended courses. The Prosalon Professional brand carefully prepares one of the most interesting and attractive training offers on the market.
Ministry of Good Soaps, well if this name looks unique, so are the two owners and their creative spin on "soap." Ministry of Good Soaps is a company producing decent, handmade soaps and cosmetics. Their secret plan for success is good materials, good craftsmanship and hard work. Ministerstwo Dobrego Mydła (Ministry of Good Soaps) also offers excellent balm sticks, oils, body butters and peelings created by the two sisters.
Hard work for these two girls, is fun, yes fun! As we learnt in their make your own body scrub workshop. A true gift from Poland that we all took part in and took home, another memorable side of this tour, with lots to share and talk about.
From the packaging and recipes from Ministry of Good Soaps which we understand is reminiscent of pre-age pharmacy recipes. Products that are clearly describe and are a welcome change, from brands who try to be too smart.
A meeting with Polish Association of Cosmetics and Detergents headed by Anna Oborska Ph.D. Once again supported by a wonderful vibrant 7-woman team. We learnt just how this association, works with not only its 123 member companies (as of 2018) but navigates the corridors of the EU commission and their own various ministerial departments that touch areas such as, pharmacies, chemicals, licenses, terms and conditions as well as training to name a few.
Anna told us that in her forums at the Polish Association of Cosmetics and Detergents, all competitors join with one voice to problem solve. Often problems that may benefit one member more than the others, but then again that's how Poland works. The World Bank Report Doing Business 2013 confirmed that Poland was the global top improver.
Inglot global head office in Warsaw Poland, showcasing their new products and techniques for Spring/Summer 2019. A full makeup demonstration with the new colors for Summer 2019 that will be added to the extensive Inglot Freedom System. The Freedom System is a flexible tool, a palette of color and a favorite of many professional makeup artists from around the world.
Freedom System Eye shadows contain special silicone's and treated pigments. They boast high lubricity and a silky touch combined with easy, smooth, long lasting, and a crease-resistant application. The unique Freedom System allows makeup artists to mix and match products and colors to make their own custom designed palette of almost any size.
Polish Cosmetic Industry Association, prior to the Beauty Forum a presentation from Blanka Chmurzynsha-Brown, General Manager of the Polish Cosmetic Industry Association. A presentation on the history and data, as well as projections for the future on the Cosmetics industry and their recommendations to the EU that they feel needs a voice.
Poland sits among Europe's top 6 in the cosmetic industry. The forecasted market value for 2021 is PLN 20 Billion. As many as 63 academic institutions offer cosmetic programmes, the highest number of nay European country.
If we walk to talk "breaking the glass ceiling" here in Poland, they are forever breaking and building a new one. Women make up 43% of board members in the cosmetic sector. Most of the employed people in the industry are women, they account for an average of 62%. Women decide which cosmetic products will end up in the shopping basket – 88% of purchased cosmetic and household decisions are made by women.
Beauty Forum Fair gave the opportunity of having B2B meetings with approximately 40 cosmetics producers. This part of the Forum was organized with table meetings. Meetings that provided each cosmetics company the opportunity to discuss their products for a more in depth, and personalized individual business talks. The Beauty Forum Expo was just full of products from Poland and well worth the time to walk through the convention center.
The Polish Investment & Trade Agency – Cosmetics Industry Tour Poland 2019
All in all an active study tour, that all participants enjoyed, gained knowledge and new business relationships.

Sure. But what kind of "version" do you need? My specific DahuaCam and Firmware?DO
Do you want to post your version to me, and I'll look at putting some of those changes in and dealing with the change in API (the 1/0 thing)
I should also make "do you want an image" configurable for if you're not using that function, they're pretty large to be chucking around mqtt for no reason.

Discounts are offered by sellers of goods and services to incentivize buyers and speed-up the cash collections process. Trade and cash discounts each have advantages related to generating revenue and enhancing cash flow. Below are the differences between these techniques and how they impact the bottom-line.
Trade Discount Definition
Sellers in business-to-business transactions will offer discounts to clients based on a variety of factors, such as purchasing volume and repeat business. These types of incentives are referred to as trade discounts, and they play a large role in winning clientele. In most cases, the discount is taken from the gross amount or retail price of the purchase order. The sales price net of the trade discount is the new gross sales amount and accounts receivable. Trade discounts are typically variable and change with quantity purchased.
Example of a Trade Discount
A supplier of plastics used in the manufacture of industrial sight glasses might offer a discount for the purchase of acrylic rod in tube, at different quantities. For example, with the purchase of 100 to 200 acrylic tubes, there might be a 25-cent discount per unit. This discount could increase with the purchase of 200 to 500 units, to 30-cents per unit. Trade discounts permeate throughout different industries and are used when selling products and services in business-to-business transactions.
Cash Discount Definition
When sellers of goods or services want to speed up cash collections, they offer cash discounts. A cash discount is applied to a receivable, when a customer pays within a specified time period. These types of discounts are used in business-to-business transactions, when a supplier, vendor or wholesaler wants to increase cash flow. When clients take advantage of these discounts, they reduce their cost of goods sold or expenses and improve their balance sheet, which is beneficial for all stakeholders in the transaction.
Example of a Cash Discount
A seller of marketing analytics and related information may offer a 2 percent discount, if customers pay their invoices within 10 days of receiving their bill. The percentage discount can vary, but the principle is the same. Cash discounts incentivize customers to pay their liabilities quickly, helping the seller collect cash faster. This type of discount is commonplace throughout industry.
Trade and cash discounts each have advantages and can increase sales and cash flow. Knowing when to use these discounts, or when to take advantage of them, can impact bottom-line profit and compel customers to make purchases.

The Lesotho Sky Event is designed for riders that are passionate about mountain biking. Like veins of the mountains, a network of trails connects rural villages and communities and makes the experience of riding the Lesotho Sky Race like no other. Lesotho is a country free of fences and boundaries. This land belongs to the proud Basotho people and is there for anyone to enjoy and respect. This race was founded by proper mountain bike fanatics and prides itself with using 100% natural single track in a place where the only other mode of transport is feet and hooves.
The Lesotho Sky Race goes into it's 5th edition this year and will be taking place from 20th – 25thSeptember 2015. The event has been a UCI stage race since 2013, a strategy which has resulted in international and South African professional MTB teams competing in the race in 2013 and 2014. Every year the race hosts professional and amateur teams alike, whereby the amateur teams make up 80% of the field.
So far the Lesotho Sky Race was a team mountain bike race only. As of this year solo riders are able to enter the event as well. "In the past we did not allow team entries, due to safety concerns. Parts of the route take riders into very remote areas of the country and for safety reasons we decided to offer team entries only", is the explanation from race director Darol Howes. The routes haven't changed much since then, however the emergency response procedures have become a lot easier over the past years. This is mainly due to blanket cell network coverage in the areas where the Lesotho Sky Race takes place. But also thanks to experienced paramedics from ER24 on quad bikes and in 4×4 vehicles, as well as air support with choppers, the routes have become a lot safer.
Note: UCI entries only available in the team category. The solo category is an official category but no UCI points can be awarded.
The cost of single entry to the Lesotho Sky 2015 race is ZAR 12,500. Included are 7 nights accommodation, non-alcoholic drinks, 3x meals a day as well as snack at water points along the routes.
The total distance in 2015 is 360km with 9857m ascent. Lodged entries are sold out but camping entries are still available. The entry includes 7 nights accommodation and all meals. Mechanical service packages and physio packages need to be booked separately and paid cash at registration.
The entries are limited to 120 riders.
Sign-up now and test yourself against some of Africa's best mountain bikers.

The Temple Harp Project was born from our vision to build the harps for
the future Temple.
Micah Harrari presenting a donated Atara Nevel to Rabbi Ariel director of
The Temple Institute Jerusalem
The sweet sounds of the harp once floated daily from the Temple of Jerusalem as the Priests performed their services.
On the Pilgrim Festivals of Pesach, Shavuot and Succot, there were so many harps played by the 4,000 Levites of the Temple orchestra that its gentle sound was heard in far-away Jericho...
Silenced for 2,000 years, the restoration of the ancient harp of David began when the first Harrari harp was built.
Since 1987, we have worked in partnership with the Temple Institute, a non-profit organization located in the Old City of Jerusalem, to prepare the harps that will be needed for the future Temple.
The harp that we build from your contributions will be presented to the Temple Institute of Jerusalem for dedication and safekeeping.
There they will be kept on public display awaiting their true purpose, to bring forth holy music in the Temple, sending this blessing of sound and healing out to the whole world.
Each donation of a Temple Harp will include
~ A symbol of the Temple inlaid on the inside of the harp
~ A photograph of the harp and certificate of donation
~ A scroll bearing the names of the sponsoring individuals or congregation to be presented to the chief Levi in charge of the Temple orchestra when the time comes into its fulfillment
Donated Harps at The Temple Institute, Jerusalem
This beautiful harp (nevel in Hebrew) was donated to the Temple Institute in 2016. The harp was hand-crafted by the renowned Jerusalem craftsman Micah Harrari, who, together with his wife Shoshanna, revived the ancient art of harp making in the land of Israel some twenty years ago. The nevel pictured above was made out of native Israeli Rosewood, and features twenty-two strings, the number of letters in the Hebrew alphabet. Among the many instruments played in the Holy Temple, only the silver trumpets were specifically commanded by Torah. The book of Psalms mentions a number of instruments which were used by the Levites to accompany the Divine service, the nevel (which throughout
the Psalms and Jewish tradition is associated with King David) being one of them. Since fewer halachic requirements were placed on the types of instruments used, musicians and instrument makers alike were granted a certain degree of artistic freedom, and many different and exotic instruments were performed upon throughout the year in the Holy Temple.
The musical highlight of the year took place during the Sukkot festival, on the occasion of the Simchat Beit haShoeva celebration (the Festival of the Water Libation). Maimonides describes the number of instruments being played throughout the all-night festivities as "countless." In addition to the Levitical musicians, other accomplished artists were also invited to join in.
The Temple Institute takes this opportunity to publicly express its heartfelt thanks to the person who made this generous donation. It is our prayer that the ultimate beneficiaries of the new Rosewood nevel will be the Levitical Temple performers, and all who gather together to honor and praise theG-d of Israel, Whose presence dwells in the Holy Temple.
The Temple Institute
We are inviting individuals,
congregations and groups worldwide to be
a part of this prophetic project.
Any size donation to this project is welcome and applied to the building of a Temple Harp.
Donation in any amount

Periodically, you may notice that your cellphone screen is blurry, or otherwise distorted. The screen may be blurred for several reasons. For example, you may have dropped the device in a pool of water or dropped it on the ground. If your phone has a hardware issue which is not resolvable by resetting your phone, you will need to take the device for physical repairs. The phone likely has a hardware issue if, after resetting the device, the screen remains blurry. Before taking the device in for repair, several steps are available to get your phone back to normal.
Step 1
Inspect the device for water/liquid damage. Remove the battery compartment to locate the sticker that alerts you that the device got wet. If the sticker changed from white to another color, the device suffered water damage. If the screen is damaged because of water damage, it is not fixable by resetting the device, as it is a physical hardware issue, and not a software issue. In this event, take your phone into your provider's retail location to have them fix the device. Be prepared to pay any repair or replacement fees, particularly if your phone is out of warranty. The mobile provider will tell you whether your phone is out of warranty.
Step 2
Dry your cellphone if it was damaged by water. Remove the battery and excess water. Press gently on the screen to get rid of excess water, if necessary. Let the cell phone and battery dry in an area where the device won't get wet. For example, place the device on a window seal, while the window is closed. The device could suffer further damage if it rains. Do not let the device dry near a heat source, such as an oven or heater. Let the phone dry up for to three days and power it on again.
Step 3
Perform a "soft reset" on your device. The screen may clear up with a simple reset. Performing a "soft reset" merely restarts the phone, without destroying data your have saved on the device. Power off the device by holding the "Power" button for a few seconds. Remove the battery compartment and battery from the device. Replace the battery and battery cover after several seconds. Power on the device.
Step 4
Perform a "hard reset" to restore your phone to factory condition. The hard reset erases all data from your device. Use this option if you have ruled out water damage to the screen and the soft reset did not solve the problem. The instructions for performing a "hard reset" differ for every device.

La Fleur Petrus 1986
Tasting Notes La Fleur Petrus 1986
A slightly deeper colour than the Petrus. A sweet nose but with less complexity and delineation: red cherry, a touch of cranberry and cigar box. The palate is medium-bodied, rather 'fluffy', lacking delineation and vigor. But there is a natural charm to it, unassuming, laid back almost. A sweet minerally, bitter cherry and dried orange peel finish. Not bad at all, although it lacks depth and concentration and will not improve. Tasted December 2006. Drink Now
A very simple, one-dimensional La Fleur-Petrus that is holding onto life but showing very little depth or concentration. The nose is somewhat muted, but does offer up some dusty, earthy, loamy soil scents intermixed with the smell of underripe tomatoes and Provencal herbs. In the mouth, the wine is attenuated, compact, medium-bodied, and lacking concentration. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted, 3/02.

TWO campaigning Saddleworth Parish Councillors have questioned if Saddleworth taxpayers are getting value for money from their council tax.
Cllrs Jamie Curley and Neil Allsopp have obtained figures revealing Saddleworth is the biggest single contributor to Oldham Council's budget, paying 20.8 per cent in council tax receipts.
Now, they pushing for services to match the contribution, including immediate help with long-standing flooding issues and crumbling roads.
Cllr Curley said: "Saddleworth pays in 20.8 per cent of the total Council Tax revenue, or £19,558,762.69 in cash terms.
"My question is whether we are really seeing enough investment in our roads or flood remediation works which directly affects residents' homes and businesses?"
Last month, Cllr Allsopp called on Oldham Council to urgently address flood defences by utilising the reserves it holds to safeguard property and livelihoods from further flooding this winter.
"The Council could claim the funds back from the Environment Agency (EA) instead of waiting up to two years for the EA funding," he said.
"They should utilise these reserves as a matter of urgency, this money belongs to people of the borough not Oldham Council."
Cllr Curley added: "Saddleworth has been waiting too long for these works to be done.
"Already we have had two or three, one-in-100 year events in the last 18 months. Just how many homes have to be flooded this winter before we see any action?
"Given how much we put into Oldham I think Saddleworth is getting a bad deal.
"If Oldham Council continues to plan for building more homes in Saddleworth and collecting more council tax, will we see any more investment in services?
"Or will we be treated as just a source of revenue with none of the extra spent in Saddleworth?"

Statistics from Altmetric.com
The Abortion Act: early medical abortion
In England, Wales and Scotland, the vast majority of abortions take place in the first trimester of pregnancy. In 2009, for example, 91% of abortions were carried out at under 13 weeks gestation for women resident in England and Wales.1 Early abortion opens up the opportunity for a woman to have a medical abortion rather than a surgical abortion. Medical abortion is considered to be less invasive and less expensive than surgical abortion, and is increasingly becoming the preferred method.1 The proportion of medical abortions to surgical abortions has doubled in the last five years with 52% of abortions being medical abortions under 9 weeks gestation in 2009.
A medical abortion typically involves taking mifepristone to block the hormones that help a pregnancy to continue, and then later on (usually 2 days later) misoprostol, which makes the womb expel the embryo/fetus, usually within 4–6 h. Current legislation requires that both sets of drugs are administered in an NHS hospital or approved place, but women can go home after taking the second dose of drugs to complete the abortion.
There has long been disagreement between the Department of Health and the British Pregnancy Advisory Services (BPAS) about what constitutes 'any treatment for the termination of pregnancy' under the Abortion Act 1967 (as amended by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990), specifically whether a woman taking the second set of drugs is considered to be undergoing the 'treatment' and is therefore required to be present in premises permitted under the Act.
At the end of 2010, BPAS went to the High Court to challenge the Department of Health's view that the legislation requires women to take both sets of drugs in an approved place. BPAS argued that 'treatment' stops at the point of prescription and women should be able to go home, …

Michigan Monthly Market Report - December 2012
Traditionally, this time of year sales activity slows, but not so much this season. Although sales will be less than peak spring and summer months, they are unusually strong for this time of year. Our annualized sales rate is actually higher now than it was this past spring, meaning we are carrying even stronger buyer demand into the New Year than we did this year (and this year was pretty strong).
Listing inventories continue to shrink, as the number of new salable listings entering the market is not keeping up with the number of homes being sold. All indications point to 2013 being a strong year for home values with both Median and Per Square Foot prices up 20%+ over the past year, pending sales up 38%, home inventories down 25%, Days on Market down 24% and foreclosure sales down over 50%. The combination of great rates, prices and six years of pent up demand is causing an extra boost in buyer demand. Because of that, we expect appreciation rates to be strongest over the next 18-24 months, and then settle back down to a more normal (but still strong) activity level. Which means an expiration date is on that sweet spot of both strong appreciation and low interest rates, so anyone who is anticipating selling in the next 3-5 years should be evaluating their housing needs in 2013.
Buyer's lending standards continue to be a challenge, so here are some simple suggestions to help minimize mortgage loan frustration:
1. It's never too early to get pre-approved. Preparation is key to a successful transaction.
2. Once pre-approved, don't open new debt.
3. Large deposits are watched very closely. Deposits going in checking and savings accounts need to be accounted for (large means anything over $500).
4. Bring everything asked for by the Loan Officer up front at the time of application.
5. As underwriters check and double check files, be prepared for additional conditions after approvals and some details needed within the last few days of the transaction.
6. Often, if the transaction has been in place longer than 45 days, ask which information will need to be updated before closing.
November sales were our best of the year, adjusted for the season and not surprisingly so was our market share!
If you would like more information on the market, like to list your property, or want information on any property with any broker, you may call or email at any time.
Have a wonderful Holiday Season,
Norman, W Werner

Every nuance of nature my gentle nudge to write new poetry or prose.
Every needful thing calls out for a voice of verse in which to sing its own song.

Physio for India is formed after understanding the difficulties of private practitioners. With almost one lakh and 25 thousand physiotherapists in India butvery few success stories. Many physios in India after opening their clinic or starting their own private practice as standalone set up or with hospital has one most important obstacle and that is Marketing for him/herself. Most of the physiotherapist, do not have proper resources to market themselves, therefore almost 60-70% of the private practices shuts down within 5 years of establishment. As a technical person (Physiotherapist) they can treat the patients, but almost 90% of the physios don't know how to market themselves. PHYSIO FOR INDIA does it for you effectively. We at Physio for India know how to deal with marketing. That means you would be visible in your locality with good name. People will understand your presence &speciality, and they will know whom to approach and when. Physio for India is also for patient's protection. It means you will find only qualified professionals on Physio for India website. Normally, when patient visits a clinic/ hospital they don't verify the details of the Physiotherapist. We at Physio for India have a very strict rule of evaluating the registration, degree and other related document; thereby we are filtering quackery from this field. You should see "PHYSIO FOR INDIA VERIFIED".
Role in Modern Healthcare;- Physiotherapy is a recognised as an essential part of modern healthcare system, and has become a leading method in optimising recovery and healing process. Physiotherapy is a branch which works in three stages; Preventive, Curative and Rehabilitative. This is irrespective of their age or gender.
Physiotherapy aims to improve health through education and exercises based on individual's need.
Physiotherapist are experts in improving mobility and motion, and pain-free movement which is crucial for your quality of daily life, your ability to earn a living, your ability to pursue your favorite leisure activities, and so much more.
Movement can help you prevent obesity, which may be responsible for at least 18% adult deaths. Consistent movement is also vital for maintaining a healthy balance system, and that's important because falls often lead to significant, costly injuries.
Physiotherapist work with their patients and clients of all ages and abilities to expand, restore, and maintain motion.
Physiotherapists routinely work collaboratively with their patients. Treatment plans can be designed for the patient's individual goals, challenges, and needs. Receiving treatment by a physiotherapist is rarely a passive activity, and participating in your own recovery can be empowering. In many cases, patients develop an ongoing relationship with their physio to maintain optimum health and movement abilities across the lifespan.
You as patient have a right to choose the most appropriate health care professional to meet your goals. The Indian Association of physiotherapists (IAP) or state council like Maharashtra State OT PT council (MSOTPT), Delhi council, Gujarat Council etc has provided guidelines for choosing a physiotherapist for your care.
You have the freedom to choose your own physiotherapist. All over India, there is a direct approach which is available.
Physiotherapist should be the member of governing council or association in their respective states and are in 8 specialties like: orthopedics, sports, geriatrics, pediatrics, cardiopulmonary, neurology, women's health, and clinical electrophysiology.
Your first visit should include an evaluation by the physiotherapist. Your physiotherapist will perform avarious examination to identify current and potential problems. Based on the results of the examination, and considering your specific goals, your physio will design a plan of care to include specific interventions and will propose a timetable to achieve these goals and optimize your movement and function. You as patient have right to ask about your diagnosis. You should feel comfortable asking your physiotherapist any questions regarding your course of care, including specifics regarding interventions and expectations.
All Physiotherapists should be aware about Doctor's Protection Act
Any damage or act of violence against Medicare professionals is an act punishable by law. Medicare professionals include (Doctors, nurses, paramedics, medical students, hospital attendants/staff)
Any damage to the property or the Institution of Medicare service is prohibited. Destruction of hospital beds, burning of ambulances, smashing medical stores is punishable by law
Imprisonment to lawbreakers for a minimum period of 3 years and fine amount of INR 50,000 to be imposed if found guilty.
Offenders of medical professionals/medical colleges can be cognizable or non-cognizable crime depending upon the offences committed.
Damage to any medical devices and equipments is a punishable offence and the offenders are liable to pay twice the amount of the damaged equipment's cost.
All the physiotherapist have right to reject or accept the patient
Always have consent form signed specially for chronically debilitated patients.
If patient demands gender preferences, that should be fulfilled. If patient is fine with opposite gender examining the patient or doing treatment the nurse or supportive person or patient's family member should present during examination or treatment. This should be recorded on examination sheet and signature should be taken from Patient as well as accompanying person.
All the patients should be registered, and important data like Name, Contact detail with their assessment chart should be signed by Doctor and Patient to avoid any future conflict.

I am talking about our time, these days.
In other words, superficially generalizing, we could also claim to live in the age of global people's migration, relying on the inevitable subject in the middle of political confrontation.
However, it could also be the terrorism topic, an equally abused one as a touchstone for the alleged reliability of the aspiring government leader.
Do you remember when the future rulers had to solve problems, guarantee progress and above all give work?
Today, as long as they give security, or the illusion of the latter, well, half of the chair is already occupied.
We could also declare that we live in the period in which climate change is the priority inside the international discussion.
We could say this and that, however, in my humble opinion, the contradiction is what most defines today's society.
Take for example the recent survey conducted by the British group Hope not Hate on a sample of more than a thousand people between the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Brazil, France, Poland, USA and Italy.
The main questions related to the aforementioned climate changes and the results are particularly interesting, especially with regard to my country.
In fact, we, Italians, are at the first place among those
questioned, among those who strongly agree that the world faces a climatic emergency, that global warming will soon become extremely dangerous without a big cut in emissions, and that the time to save the planet it's running out.
You know who's on the second? Bolsonaro's Brazil...
Ergo, contradictions.
That is, immigration, terrorism and climate change.
As if they were disjointed phenomena, which could be faced separately, through an obtuse fragmentation of the intellect and personal sensitivity.
As if we ourselves were truly worthy of meaning in the general picture, where the interests and reasons of the individual were considered priority over those of all.
So here is what happens, often, in electoral disputes, as in bar fights, or better, in the most current social network bulletin boards.
There are copious arguments and often insults, leaping from one subject to another, sheltered by a very dull solution of continuity.
A kind of wall, used once again to obscure the understanding of things, as well as to hinder travelers' journey.
Because perhaps, opening precious loopholes within it, we could reflect on the fact that according to the United Nations by 2050 there will be between twenty-five million up to a billion people forced to leave their country because of climate change.
Then, insisting on this virtuous habit, we could consider how much the terrorist groups profit from the crisis and poverty due to military and civil conflicts, but exacerbated and made unsustainable by drought and famine caused by climatic upheaval.
Once upon a time, therefore, the era of migrants and terrorists, as well as the crazy and destructive climate.
In a word, the time of contradictions.
That is, of a humanity that has the only chance to survive inside the ability in overcoming them by combining the obvious dots that bind together the most compelling questions.

Re: Parting out Toshiba Light Engine.
I might be interested in the parts for the 56HM195, but I'm not sure what the problem is with mine yet. What are you selling that particular engine for, and is a functional lamp included with it?
Re: Parting out Toshiba Light Engine.
One of the DLP chips on the DMD board was bad. I just sold the color wheel today. What is your tv doing? I might be able to help you diagnose it.
Re: Parting out Toshiba Light Engine.
And yes there is a functioning lamp in the light engine that i will definitely part out for cheap
Re: Parting out Toshiba Light Engine.
I have a thread started in the same section labeled "56HM195 Blue smearing/Ghosting" with pictures if you could help I'd be ecstatic. So far I haven't found anyone with a similar issue, or fix, lucky me.
Re: Parting out Toshiba Light Engine.
could you post a picture of the tv on with a show in the background? that would help immensely cause on the other thread i cant tell exactly what im looking at
Re: Parting out Toshiba Light Engine.
I tried getting some shots tonight, but none of them came out. My wife is going to try and take some shots tomorrow. Basically on those other shots I posted, anything other than grey scale shouldn't be there. Same thing happens with full color video, pretty much blue edging everywhere there's bright objects next to dark. Moving the contrast control changes the which level of bright portions cause the problem.

Re: Parting out Toshiba Light Engine.
do you still have these products or did they sell on Ebay? My 62MX195 has a red tint to everything on the picture and I have been told it is the light engine by people that I call about it. So I need parts just not sure which ones.
