Summer of sweat: Could 2020 be Houston's sweatiest year?
It's summertime in the city, and everyone has the same accessory.
Sadly, it's not the fashionable caftan or a new pair of hiking sandals — it's sweat.
If you're in Houston right now, there's a big chance you're sweating while reading this article. If you're not, you will be because it's 87-90 percent humidity and a high in the 90s every day for the rest of the month.
Wearing a mask? Yeah, you're sweating.
With coronavirus cases spiking in Houston, doctors recommend people avoid spending any time indoors with others who do not live in the same household unless it's an essential errand like the doctor's office, grocery store or pharmacy. Typical hot weather escapes, like air-conditioned movie theaters, bowling alleys or shopping malls, are a major risk even if you wear a mask the whole time.
If you want to socialize, it's best to take it outside.
We've got the guide for you to survive the Summer of Sweat.
Science of sweat
Sweat is mainly sodium chloride and water, said Dr. Rajani Katta, clinical assistant professor of medicine at Baylor College of Medicine and a board certified dermatologist.
And it is definitely good for us regardless of 100-plus degree days.
"The main reason that humans sweat is we need to regulate our body temperature; it's actually a really beautiful system," Katta said. "When we overheat, our sweat glands produce more sweat. When it evaporates, it cools off our temperature."
Humidity does not make us sweat more, she said, but it does raise our body temperatures, which causes us to sweat more. Some bodies acclimate better to the heat and don't sweat as much as others.
Older people sweat less than younger people, which puts them at an increased risk for heat exhaustion and heat stroke, Katta said.
On HoustonChronicle.com: Guide to Working Out Outdoors
Sweat gets a bad wrap as the cause of bodily odor, but that's not the case either. The reason we smell it is because of bacteria that combines with the moisture to create odor.
People have sweat glands all over the body, but the main ones are in the armpits, palms and soles of our feet. Typically, there is no health problem for people who sweat "too much" from their underarms or palms, she said. It's more of a social issue than a physical one.
"There's no evidence that sweat provides anything helpful, but some studies suggest that sweat does help your skin barrier stay functioning well and helps deliver moisturizing factors to your skin," Katta said.
But if you exercise hard enough to sweat, you are increasing blood flow to your skin which is a good thing.
Staying safe
The universal tip for staying alive and well? Drink water.
Since sweat is comprised of 90 percent water and 10 percent sodium, we need to replenish as quickly as we lose it. This means, drinking lots of water before going outside and especially before exercising.
If you're not sweating, that's a danger sign.
"It's a sign your body is trying to conserve its hydration," Katta said. "Your body needs to sweat — in Houston especially."
Avoid the hottest hours of the day (between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.) when exercising outdoors, said Shelby Saylor, association director of healthy living at the YMCA of Greater Houston. Most of the Y's group exercise classes have been moved outside since reopening in June.
Drink water the entire time if you can, and add in electrolytes via sports drinks like Gatorade or Powerade, or Pedialyte, which was initially created for sick children but is now marketed to active adults. Saylor makes Pedialyte popsicles at home.
When exercising outside, watch out for signs of heat-related illness: headache, skin that is cool to the touch and a lack of sweat. If you experience these, stop what you're doing, find shade and drink water.
"A good rule for hydration is drink half of your body weight in ounces of water each day," Saylor said.

You can also eat your water by upping your intake of vegetables (cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes) and fruit (watermelon, pineapple, blueberries, cantaloupe, grapefruit and pears).
Avoid overheating by keeping a cold, wet towel with you to put on your neck or forehead.
"It's really not just about sweat, but hydration and how you motivate yourself to stay hydrated," Saylor said. "Sweat all you want, just replenish it."
What to wear
All it takes is a 10 minutes in the sun to sweat through your shirt, and then you smell for the rest of the day.
When Megan and Kyle Eddings exercise, they do more than glisten — it's a sweat fest. Which is why Megan developed the Accel Lifestyle brand with a new fabric called Prema that does not smell.
"When washing his clothes, I noticed I couldn't get the funk and smell of sweat out; it was like a sweaty locker room," Eddings said about her husband. "I used to think that sweat is full of gross stuff, but it's really not. It's the bacteria mixed with sweat's nutrients and the fabric you're wearing."
Bacteria loves polyester synthetic fabrics and will cling to them even after several washes.
Eddings learned which materials and fabrics invited bacteria — the common denominator in the stink problem. Prema is a combination of supima cotton, which gets softer the more times it is washed, and high-end silver-polyester threads.
In addition to clothing, Accel Lifestyle has sold and shipped 400,000 face masks made with either Prema or another bacterial-resistant fabric, Eddings said. She has contracted with Houston Methodist and the U.S. military.
"It's breathable and safe with a double layer of non-bacteria fabric, which makes you less apt to get rashes," she said. "When you wash your mask, you're not washing out all the bacteria. But with ours, the bacteria isn't clinging to the fabric."
There are plenty of sweat-wicking products on the market from familiar brands.

Nike's sweat-wicking brand, DRI FIT, includes shirts, shorts, pants, jackets and sports bras. The fabric is polyester designed to wick away sweat and "disperse it evenly throughout the surface of the garment, so that it evaporates quickly," according to the company.
Magellan, BCBG and Adidas have similar offerings, including caps, socks and underwear.

There is a kind of beauty which does not depend upon attractiveness; it is a certain manner that distinguishes a person's individuality, it is a value that we insensibly neglect to consider in our evaluations of self. It cannot be seen in a mirror but only by those who are capable of viewing all that is radiant and glowing from within a human being. It is this spiritually aesthetic deference that cannot be compared to others for it belongs to us alone. It is a unique brand of signature beauty which raises us above even those who merit the labels associated with all that is stunning and physically irresistable. When it is visable those who are capable of seeing it are healed by it because it carries its own warmth and healing comfort. It has a voice that speaks of balance and reassures us that all is right in the world and such is the quiet nature of aesthetic healing.

Best of the Best Dining in Margaret River?
Wondering where the best dining spots are in Margaret River?
This year's hot spots are amongst the celebrated winners of the 2018 West Australian Good Food Guide Awards where many of our favourite winery restaurants and several main street venues cleaned up!
Number 1 hot spot is the picturesque winery restaurant, Wills Domain, after being crowned the 2018 West Australian Good Food Guide Restaurant Of The Year, an impressive and well-deserved accolade.
Voyager Estate continues to deliver a truly magnificent dining experience winning Best Regional Restaurant, Best Regional Chef and placing #3 in Top 10 Restaurants. Other consistently top-notch local establishments in the coveted Top 10 Restaurants are Leeuwin Estate at #6 and Vasse Felix at #7. Other well known whilst Cullen Winery, Yarri and Xanadu were named in the Top 50 Restaurants.
Finalists in the Best Casual Dining category where two local hero's, Fishbone, a casual Japenese restaurant at Fishbone winery and Pizzica, a little Italian pizza joint, underground in Margaret River's main street.
You are spoilt for choice, with award-winning wineries and restaurants, boutique breweries and quirky cafes around every corner, you're sure to find a unique and rewarding experience to satisfy your desire.
In the evening, the dining scene is mostly situated along the main street with everything from casual cafes, gourmet burgers, Asian takeaway and modern dining restaurants serving gourmet Australiana fare.
My favourites are Morries, Miki's Open Kitchen (Japenese), Swings Taphouse and Pizzica (Oh, and the good old Setter's Tavern). Just out of town, over the bridge is the Brewhouse, a micro brewery with laid back Aussie BBQ garden style and great food.
Need any more tips? Check out our tried and tested Margaret River restaurant recommendations both in town, down the beach and further afield.
Bon appetite.

The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp
Paul Newman founded The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Ashford, Connecticut so that children coping with cancer and other serious illnesses could have a special place where they could simply be kids and "raise a little hell."
The camp served 288 children during its first summer in 1988. Since then, the camp's programs have grown to serve more than 20,000 children and family members annually throughout the Northeast. All of the camp's services are provided free of charge.
The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp is the primary charity of the Travelers Championship, which donates 100 percent of net proceeds to charity. But Travelers and The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp have a strong connection that extends beyond Connecticut's PGA TOUR event.
Highlights of Travelers' Support
- Travelers has contributed more than $1.8 million since 2007, including $1.2 million for the camp's Hospital Outreach Program, which extends the healing power of camp to hospitalized children across the Northeast.
- Travelers is also the primary benefactor of the camp's Change of Pace Experience Program (C.O.P.E.), which provides valuable networking opportunities and retreats for camper parents.
- In addition to donating money, leaders and employees from Travelers donate time at the camp, helping prepare the campgrounds and program areas for the arrival of campers and families.
- In 2008, Travelers funded the camp's universally-accessible mini-golf course that can accommodate multiple cabins of campers coping with a diverse array of medical and mobility concerns.
With Travelers' support and by positioning the camp as a charity partner in the Travelers Championship, The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp has greater visibility so that others can be inspired by what Paul Newman created and to help carry the torch into the future.
More Community
Habitat for Humanity
Travelers embraces the mission of Habitat for Humanity® and helps to build safe, affordable — and FORTIFIED — homes, promoting homeownership for lower-income families.
Junior Achievement
Each year, Travelers employees make up one of Junior Achievement's largest volunteer forces, helping inspire students to dream big.
KaBOOM! [Video]
Travelers partners with KaBOOM! to build playgrounds to increase opportunities for kids to explore, learn and grow in safe, fun environments.

Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia has officially introduced the new Range Rover Velar at a starting price of RM529,800. Previously, the Velar has been made available for order.
We at allcarschannel.com have covered the Velar since it first came out. Therefore, the availability of the Velar in Malaysia is indeed a welcome sight for Premium SUV buyers and enthusiasts.
In looks, the Velar carries a progressive design featuring a seductive silhouette, flush deployable door handles, integrated rear spoiler as well as distinctive design cues from the front bumper to the rear of the vehicle, foil stamped grille and Matrix LED headlights. The twin chrome exhaust finishers that are integrated into the rear bumper, provide a subtle reference to the Velar's power and performance. Emphasis is placed on the Flush Deployable Door Handles and Matrix LED headlights. Two variants are on tab for the Velar, the Velar (P250) with standard 20-inch wheels and Velar R-Dynamic (P250) with 21-inch wheels.
Moving inside, the Range Rover Velar takes up the Touch Pro Duo infotainment system, which is the centerpiece of the Velar's interior. The Touch Pro Duo features two 10-inch high-definition touchscreens integrated seamlessly behind secret-until-lit surfaces. These slim, intuitive displays work in harmony with the cabin architecture while adding an overall sense of modernity to the vehicle's design. The Touch Pro Duo system allows the driver to multitask with greater safety by using two screens simultaneously.
The instrument panel's strong, horizontal beam is the defining element of the Velar's interior architecture. It rakes back dramatically towards the windscreen to create the fastest angle of any Land Rover and underlines the Velar's dynamic driving characteristics. The slender air vents reinforce the Velar's reductive, technology-enabled design. Coupled with a 12.3-inch Interactive display, driving the Velar has never been more interesting especially with four visual themes and a full-screen 3D navigation display.
Comfort is key in the Velar, thanks to sculpted seats, matched with perforated grained leather which is standard for the P250 variant or perforated leather with suede cloth is reserved for the R-Dynamic variant, and for even more plush experience, go for the Kvadrat highly durable wool-blend premium textile contrasted with Suede cloth (optional).
The Velar is one of the safest vehicles on the planet due to its comprehensive safety system that includes six airbags and a suite of technology advanced driver assistance systems including Head Up Display**, Navigation Pro System and Cruise Control Speed Limiter.
Exceptional performance and efficiency comes from its Ingenium powertrain, that is matched to a smooth-shifting ZF eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics. The Velar is fitted with the P250 powertrain. It is the first of the two new petrol engines that develops peak power of 250PS and high maximum torque of 365Nm, which is maintained from just 1,200rpm to 4,500rpm. This means that the Velar can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 6.7 seconds and return an impressive 7.6-liters/100km and 173g/km CO2.
The Range Rover Velar is offered in two variants: Velar (P250) at RM529,800 and Velar R-Dynamic (P250) at RM588,800. Colors available are Fuji White, Yulong White, Corris Grey, Santorini Black, Kaikoura Stone, Firenze Red, Silicon Silver and Carpathian Grey; along with five interior color options of Ebony/Ebony, Acorn, Vintage Tan/Ebony, Eclipse/Ebony and Light Oyster/Ebony.

The nonagenarian style icon on her new book, feminism and the need for sleeves
Iris Apfel is likely the busiest 96-year-old you'll ever meet. Over the past few years, the fashion icon has designed two furniture collections and a ready-to-wear line, modelled for Kate Spade and started her own fashion course at the University of Texas at Austin. This month, Apfel also released her second book, Iris Apfel: Accidental Icon (HarperCollins).
Naturally, when I reach Apfel by phone in her Manhattan home, she's working.
"I'm so sorry, I just need to find a place to sit down. I've got so much stuff all over the place," Apfel says. She's designing five window displays and curating a pop-up shop of her favourite clothing, jewellery and accessories for her book launch at Bergdorf Goodman. "I'm very, very busy. I work more than any three young people I know," Apfel says later.
She is candid and charmingly cranky, quick to call out the self-entitlement of millennials or the homogeneous state of fashion in a way only a nonagenarian with a career spanning more than six decades can get away with.
In Accidental Icon, Apfel writes about starting off as a journalist at the seminal fashion trade journal Women's Wear Daily and later founding the influential textile company Old World Weavers with her husband, Carl, in 1950. Apfel worked on design restoration projects for the White House during nine presidential administrations from Harry S. Truman to Bill Clinton, earning herself the nickname the "First Lady of Fabric." And yet, as she writes, she only became a style starlet in her 80s when in 2005, the Metropolitan Museum of Art presented an exhibit of her personal clothing and accessories, which caught the attention of fashion photographer Bill Cunningham.
Along with glossy photos showcasing Apfel decked out in her signature colourful ensembles and anecdotes from her youth (she describes buying her first pair of jeans in the 1940s despite the shopkeeper telling her "ladies don't wear jeans"), the book is filled with Apfel's musings on modern society, touching on everything from smartphones to the cult of celebrity.
Here, Apfel and I chat about why she would never write a memoir, being a role model for other stylish older women and the golden age of flying.
Why did you decide to to write Accidental Icon?
Since my coffee table book, [Rare Bird: The Irreverent Iris Apfel], came out in 2007, I've been badgered to do something else. I didn't want to do another coffee table book and I certainly didn't want to do a memoir – I resent my privacy being disrupted and I think people are too nosy – and I certainly didn't want to do a how-to book. I think they are very insulting. A couple of years ago, in one week I got three telephone calls from three different publishers all asking if I'd be interested in doing another book, something light and fun.
In the book, you write about how you didn't have any intention on becoming a role model for aging. Do you get letters from older women saying you've inspired them?
Oh my goodness, yes. I get letters from older women and from young women and men, and they all more or less tell me the same thing: that I've inspired them, given them courage and given them a sense of freedom and permission to do a lot of things they didn't think they could do. That makes me happy.
You often talk about how the fashion industry doesn't design clothing for older women, yet recently women like Joni Mitchell and Joan Didion have done high fashion ads for brands like Céline and Saint Laurent. Do you think the fashion industry is getting better?
They've thrown in more sleeves, but I don't see much of anything being done for older women. For a while, it was just horrendous. You couldn't find anything with sleeves. A few years ago I decided that if I had extra time, I would open up a very chic shop on Madison Avenue and call it The Sleeve, and people would come from miles around.
In the book, you write about how we're too obsessed with smartphones and use technology as a crutch. What kind of impact do you think that has?
I think young people depend on devices and they don't develop anything in their heads. They don't remember anything. They think if they press a button they can learn anything, find out anything and that makes them curious. Young people don't relate to each other anymore, they don't know how to converse. All they know how to do is press buttons. You don't agree?
Well, I'm a young person who spends a lot of time reading on the internet and I feel like I'm still curious.
I'm not condemning anybody. I would assume you're not one of those nincompoops.
I also spend a lot of time using social media, like Instagram, though.
Because it's addictive.
I think it's terrible. I have nothing to do with [any of the Iris Apfel social media accounts] and I'm all over the place. I don't do any of the pages myself. I don't even look at it because I don't care what you had for breakfast or who you're sleeping with or where you're going. I don't know why everyone is so interested. They waste a lot of precious time and they live vicariously through other people, rather than doing all these things themselves.
Do you have any advice for people who are caught up in dressing like other people or wearing what other people have deemed trendy?
They should first develop themselves and get an image of who the hell they are. Once they know who they are, maybe they can decide how to dress themselves. Why do you want to look like everyone else? I don't like trends. If there's a trend that comes along that's suitable for you, good. But trends don't suit half of the people. Everyone wants instant everything, so they don't develop their own personalities. What do you think?
I think for some young people, it's not necessarily that they're lazy, it's that they're just caught up in their work life and they don't have time to think about what they wear and they just buy whatever.
It's not just a matter of what they wear. It's their whole lifestyle – it's their whole everything. How old are you, by the way?
I'm 29.
Well, are you still a millennial?
I think the younger ones are much worse.
I was reading an interview you did a few years ago with Style.com and when the interviewer mentioned that they noticed some underlying feminist themes in the Albert Maysles documentary about you, you said you're not a feminist.
I don't know what a feminist is supposed to be. What is a feminist?
Someone who believes that men and women should be treated equally.
Well I believe they should be treated equally. That's not being a feminist, is it?
That's a definition of feminism some people use.
Very frankly, I'm not interested in labels. I think all people should be treated equally. All people are not created equally, but I think they should be treated in an equal manner. And I don't think for the same job a man should be paid more than a woman. But that's not being a feminist.
What do you think being a feminist is?
I never really bothered my head about it. I'm not interested.
In your book, you write a lot about the places you've travelled. Where do you hope to travel to next?
The less travelling I can do from now on the happier I'll be. Travelling today is an agony. You're treated like a barnyard animal when you travel today, no matter what you pay or what category they put you in. I know what travelling used to be like, you travelled like ladies and gentlemen. Years ago, they sent for you in a limo, they took you to the airport, you were escorted to a private lounge, you were given newspapers and magazines in any foreign language, you were served champagne or Scotch or whatever you wanted. There was caviar. Everyone dressed beautifully. It was a whole different ball game. Now everybody looks like a rag heap.
I hope you don't think I'm too negative. I'm really not. I just call a spade a spade.
Let's end on a positive note then. What's something about today's fashion that you're really excited about?
You didn't pick a very good subject because there's nothing much in today's fashion that's exciting. There's nothing new. I don't see anything exciting.

Finding a Twin feeding pillow that will work for you and your babies can be an extremely daunting task. Twin Love Concierge's top tips to choosing a Twin Feeding Pillow include:
1. Shape – pillow should have slightly elevated edges or an angled top so both babies are supported at all times whether feeding or not
2. Back support – so important for Moms that you are comfortable and that the latch can be fastened easily around your back without fuss
3. Materials – what's on the inside is as important as what's on the outside, look for nontoxic and chemical free stuffing. Your babies will spend a lot of time with their faces on this pillow so make sure you know what its made of
4. Feeding position – some pillows only support the football position so if you are looking to mix it up a little chose one that supports this
5. Multiuse – look for a pillow that can be used for breastfeeding and for bottle feeding so that your partner and family can help as well
The two brands we most recommend to Expecting Twin Moms are:
The Twin Z pillow – it has so many uses other than just be a breast-feeding support. Allows the babies to be propped up and fed, then is a perfect support for tummy time.
My Double Brest Friend – this pillow has been a favourite of Moms for many years now. Compared to other twin nursing pillows, this one allows more flexible manoeuvrability.

J.M.W Turner's nineteenth-century masterpiece "Modern Rome" which shows the ancient city dissolving into a thoroughly non-classical blur of limpid light LA Times. I call this colour palette Turners Rome. Turner was known as one of the most prolific of the great artists. There is said to be over 20,000 pictures, drawings and sketches by his hand still in existence. He has the distinction of producing single-handed a larger number of works of art than any other painter.

These flavorful oven roasted potatoes are soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. They're perfect with breakfast, but you'll want to try them with every meal!
We love having potatoes with breakfast at our house. Scratch that, we love having potatoes with every meal. Mashed, hashbrown-ed, but most of all roasted.
I know that these are called breakfast potatoes, but don't hesitate to include them with lunch or dinner.
These roasted breakfast potatoes–also known as home fries–are soft and velvety on the inside and crispy as can be on the outside. They're very simple to make using inexpensive ingredients.

How to make crispy breakfast potatoes
There are two main steps to making these breakfast potatoes:
- Boil the diced potatoes to soften. You can soften potatoes quickly by boiling until tender. Add the diced potatoes to the water, then bring to a boil. The potatoes are ready when you can easily insert a fork into them. You want them to be just underdone and not quite ready to eat.
- Toss in oil + seasonings and roast for 20 minutes. Toss the potatoes with canola or vegetable oil, chopped garlic, thyme, paprika, and a bit of salt. Roast on a parchment paper lined baking sheet until the outsides are crispy.
Recipe notes
- Olive oil can be used in place of canola or vegetable oil, but it's smoke point is 425 F. If you prefer to use olive oil, bring the heat down to 425 and roast until crispy.
- Roast the potatoes until the outsides become crispy and golden brown. Add 5 minutes if you like your breakfast potatoes extra crispy.
- Experiment with the seasonings. Instead of paprika and thyme, try out cumin + chili powder for breakfast tacos, or keep things classic with just salt & pepper.
- This roasting method can be used with a variety of potato types. I prefer to use russet potatoes for baking because they crisp up deliciously when roasted at a high heat.
Potato nutrition: Are potatoes good for me?
Potatoes often get a bad rap because they are high in carbohydrates and are can be made into less-healthy foods like french fries or butter and gravy-laden mashed potatoes.
Nutrient-rich potatoes are actually a great source of potassium and an excellent source of Vitamin C. When eaten with their skins on, they also provide fiber and iron. The complex carbohydrates in potatoes are digested more slowly than simple carbs, like those found in white bread or ice cream.
For a balanced meal, pair energy-packed potatoes with a serving of your favorite protein, like tofu or beans.
For breakfast, try roasted breakfast potatoes with a tofu scramble or vegetarian egg casserole. For lunch or dinner, pair with crispy baked tofu nuggets and a small chickpea salad.

The Best Crispy Roasted Breakfast Potatoes
- 5 medium russet potatoes ~2 and 1/2 pounds
- water as needed
- 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
- 5 cloves garlic roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dry thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- fresh ground black pepper to taste
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Clean the potatoes and remove any dirty bits. Remove the skin if desired, or leave it on for extra texture and crispiness. Cut into bite sized pieces.
- Add diced potatoes to a medium pot. Add just enough water to cover the potatoes. Salt the water generously. Bring the potatoes to a boil over high heat. Boil until fork tender, or just underdone; this will take 5-10 minutes. Drain excess water.
- In a large bowl, or in pot used to cook the potatoes, add the oil, garlic, paprika, thyme and salt. Toss to coat.
- Layer the potatoes evenly on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until outer layer is crispy and golden. Season with fresh ground black pepper to taste.

The Beauty Of An Unraveled Life // The Weekend Brew
When I was a little girl, I loved to watch my grandma crochet. She always created beautiful things. I never was interested in learning the art of crocheting when I was younger. I wish I had been more patient and allowed her to teach me. I was more interested in playing with all of the balls of yarn in her crochet basket. The yarn would often end up unraveled in a messy pile on the floor. It was next to impossible to put it back together the way it was.
When your life unravels, it doesn't always come back together the way it was.
No longer all put together in a neat and orderly way, a life unraveled has many characteristics that some would look upon as negative. I choose to look at the beauty that is evolving in the midst of it.
An unraveled life is a messy life. Tattered, torn, frayed, broken, bruised. When our lives become unraveled we don't know if we are coming or going, which way is up and how it will all come together again. It's overwhelming when we try to make something out of our mess. But when we invite God into it, we give Him permission to put us back together the way He desires for us to be. This requires a life fully surrendered as we relinquish our dreams and desires and hold onto a deep trust that He will make something beautiful out us.Although we are not yet who we desire to be, we are becoming all that God intended us to be. Click To Tweet
An unraveled life has frayed edges. The edges of our lives — those things that are beginning and ending; the hopes and dreams we hold onto; the broken one in need of a Healer; the lost soul in need of a Savior. When we allow the frayed edges to grow, they threaten to unravel us at our very core. How does a heart stay alive and prospering in the midst of an unraveling? We have to let go. We must allow our lives to continue to unravel as we surrender it into His hands. He's waiting at the end of the unraveling to put us back together again.We hold the frayed edges of our lives together, but God asks that we surrender them into His hands. Click To Tweet
An unraveled life is often more beautiful than it was before. When we lie in a heap of tears on the floor and realize that the task of putting ourselves back together again is not ours, but His, we can be at peace. Before the unraveling, we are put together, tightly wound, perfectly patterned, in sync with all of life. But now, we are loose, free, ready to be made new, perhaps better than before. And that's when He comes and gathers us up — the mess, the frayed edges, the brokenness — and restores us to beauty.
I'm not fighting it anymore. I am thankful to be living an unraveled life.
I may be a mess, but God is right here in the middle of it all.
I may be broken, but there is One who comes to restore and build up again.
I may be weak, but there is strength found when I lay myself down.
I may be bruised, but healing will come in His time.
I may have only frayed edges to offer, but God holds them all together in the palm of His hand.
How about you, my friend, how are you finding beauty in living a life unraveled?
*This post reminds me of a beautiful friend, Katie, who blogs about finding grace in the unraveling. If you haven't happened upon her blog yet, be sure to visit. You will be blessed.

High flying students enjoy a tour of RAF Coningsby
PUBLISHED: 12:35 19 March 2019 | UPDATED: 12:39 19 March 2019
The sky's the limit for students, who sat in the cockpit of a fighter jet, during a tour of RAF Coningsby.
Uniformed Services students from the Wisbech campus at the College of West Anglia (CWA) visited the Lincolnshire base for an inspiring tour and demonstrations.
Eighteen students were treated to a tour of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, featuring flying Spitfires and a Hurricane.
They also had an opportunity to sit at the controls of a modern-day fighter jet and watch a Typhoon jet in action, performing a series of tight manoeuvres over the Airfield.
Adrian Kent, uniformed services lecturer, said he was 'incredibly pleased' with the success of the trip and grateful to the welcoming staff at RAF Coningsby.
"It's been an outstanding day," Mr Kent said. "I would like to say a special thanks to Corporal Toni Arnold for arranging this visit.
"She is the sister of one of our former students, so it's great to be able keep in contact with alumni who can help create memorable opportunities like this."
Students also got the opportunity to see the only airworthy Avro Lancaster WW2 bomber in the UK up close, with the aircraft still performing all RAF ceremonial duties, including fly pasts over her Majesty the Queen and dignitaries.

Fudge Fancies Selection
I very much enjoyed the last selection of fudge treats from Fudge Fancies as they were sweet, indulgent and full of flavour. It was most unfortunate that I've only just been able to review these four truffle-shaped fudge treats now, seeing as Michael has stopped taking orders for Christmas delivery now. That's such a shame as they would be great for someone that has a sweet tooth but prefers not to line the pockets of big brands.
The last selection of fudge Michael sent was in a delightful cylindrical form whilst these are in the typical spherical truffle shape. I couldn't see them on his website so I don't exactly know which is in each but I know this first white chocolate one with flashes of dark chocolate have an Advocat and custard flavour which I actually found very enjoyable. There's a pleasant dusty texture but a very soft shell which mitigates, somewhat, the very soft, delicate and rich fudge centre. I only have two in the box, but I most definitely could do with more.
The secondly there was another white fudge 'truffle' coated by what seems a light dark chocolate. This one had less of a pronounced flavour as it is dominated by the sweetness of the fudge, but I did pick out (perhaps incorrectly) some almond flavours. I think I actually preferred the more direct flavours of the first, but did find the contrast of the darker chocolate shell very pleasant.
The third brought the sweetness back again, but I feel as the sweetness of the previous two that I can't pick out the centre flavours. I can see that there are some inclusions in the fudge but am unable to determine what they are.
Overall I'd say this fudge us very much for somebody with a sweet tooth and would appreciate a change from the traditional chocolate fair. It's unfortunate that I've missed this review so that people aren't able to order in time for Christmas, but I have no problem suggesting them as a suitable wedding favour.

Revenues by Type
Advertising revenues increased 2.2% from the year-ago quarter to $1.327 billion. Growth was driven by Network Ten, which the company acquired in fourth-quarter of 2017.
Content licensing & distribution revenues were up 3.8% to $1.096 billion. Higher contribution from "additional series produced for third-party services" boosted year-over-year growth.
Further, affiliate and subscription fee revenues of $989 million grew 16.6% year over year, driven by growth in traditional distribution as well as new digital platforms. A surge in retransmission revenues and fees from CBS Television Network affiliated stations by 25% and the digital initiatives experiencing a 70% growth led to the overall growth of affiliate and subscription fee revenues.
Segment Details
Entertainment revenues increased 8.3% to $2.365 billion, driven by higher affiliate and subscription fee revenues (up 38%), content licensing and distribution revenues (up 4%) and advertising revenues (up 3%).
CBS Network advertising revenues inched up 1% from the year-ago quarter. The company is gaining from the newly launched Sports HQ. Its digital distribution services, CBS All Access and Showtime OTT, are expected to have a combined 8 million subscribers by the end of 2019, a year before the initial target of 2020. Currently, the company is aiming to hit a subscriber base of 16 million by 2022.
Notably, the company's ad-based OTT services led by CBSN, its digital news network, has been attracting younger viewers and adding to the company's top line.
Cable Networks' revenues were up 4% to $591 million primarily due to growth of Showtime subscription streaming service and start of the renewal period for licensing of Showtime original series.
Publishing revenues of $207 million grew 0.5% on the back of 27% increase in digital audio. Bestselling titles were Stephen King book, Restless Wave by Senator John McCain and Spymaster by Brad Thor.

Publishing increased 7% to $31 million due to favorable revenue mix that reduced operating expenses. Cable Networks operating income increased to $256 million from $255 million in the year-ago period which reflected higher revenues offset by increased investment in programming.

Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.

GG4 x Leeroy OG
Dynex CEO posted a gallery image in Member's Gallery
From the album Random UploadsThis is a special pheno of a breeder tester pack Mother GG4 (from clone) Father Leeroy OG Rare Dankness from Seed. Think it's the favorite thing I've grown and smoked in 5 years, the dry sift yields have been massive.
Dinafem-Mark posted a topic in Dinafem SeedsHello everyone here is a nice video showing some very pure hash made from our automatic cheese that was seeded to create our seed,s but also produced some excellent 90-95% pure heads. This was a relatively gentle bounce on the dry sift screen,s we could have been a lot more aggressive with the material but we wanted the best product with the least amount of contaminates . Enjoy y`all D-M.
Our Man In Malana posted a topic in Hash & OilDry-ice (CO2) sift and pressing report. I've been playing about with dry-ice sifting for a year or so, but in small runs. No more - lots of trim, popcorn and entire plants, 5kg of dry ice slabs, a bucket, a 220 micron gauze and a mirror... I ran two grades of product through, the first was dry trim and popcorn bud from a variety of of my stock plants: Northern Lights, Blues, Skunk, etc. The second run was an assortment of Attitude freebies, mostly Snowcap, that I won't be cloning. Using 1,150g of product, I produced 185g of sifted polm, about 155g of it "primo", or first grade, and 30g "secundo". I could have produced more but I usualy call a halt when there is a noticable darkening of the polm. The residue is usually refluxed in iso to give a 10:1 extraction, so I'll expect up to 100g of dark oil from this too. I've experimented with pressing the sift with varying results, and several iterations of press and mould later I've built a 10-ton hydraulic press and a stainless steel mould (10mm press plate in a 5mm wall mould) that doesn't buckle under pressure. (The stainless steel bit is important to me because I process med-grade). I've had good result at about 4 tons pressure with a one-inch square mould (before it warped), but 9 metric tons on a 9cmx9cm plate equals about... enough. Some primo grade sift was too sticky to push intact from the mould - I rolled some up into a fat tola. Most formed very flexible slabs whether 2 or 10mm thick.. The lower grade "secundo" made a lovely solid passport slate. Pictures attached: The tolas are sticky primo (Attitude freeby selection), the big and four small squares are another primo (from the NL/skunk trim) and the lighter thin rectangular slab is the secundo. All good stuff.

Dallas Cowboys
Another underachieving campaign finally spelled the end of Jason Garrett's tenure at the helm of Jerry Jones' ship. New coach Mike McCarthy and an outstanding draft have renewed optimism in Dallas, but this is still a roster that needs to prove it can turn its talent into playoff success.
Offseason Moves
Key Acquisitions
- WR CeeDee Lamb (Rd. 1, No. 17 – Oklahoma)
A draft-day steal, he could be among the NFL's best No. 3 wide receivers.
- QB Andy Dalton (from Bengals)
The Red Rifle gives Dallas stability behind Dak Prescott.
- K Greg Zuerlein (from Rams)
Even after a down 2019, he could still upgrade a woeful kicking game.
- DT Gerald McCoy (from Panthers)
Veteran warrior has at least five sacks in eight straight seasons.
Key Losses
- WR Randall Cobb (to Texans)
Turned his best season since 2015 into a three-year deal with Houston.
- C Travis Frederick (retired)
An autoimmune disease cut short an All-Pro career.
- DE Robert Quinn (to Bears)
Notched his first double-digit sack season since 2014 to earn a big payday.
- CB Byron Jones (to Dolphins)
Shutdown corner leaves a big hole in the secondary.

Top Storylines
New Sheriff in Town
For nearly the entire 2010s, Jason Garrett clapped the Cowboys to just one losing record but little meaningful success, as the team won 10 or more regular-season games only three times and never got over the hump in the playoffs. Finally relieved of his duties, Jerry Jones has turned to a proven coach in Mike McCarthy to try and get better results.
McCarthy won a Super Bowl ring and had three NFC Championship Game appearances during his time with the Packers, but he also had Aaron Rodgers under center. Dak Prescott may not be the same kind of elite talent, but he does have much better weapons at his disposal.
Ezekiel Elliott is one of the league's few remaining true bell cows in the backfield, and he's working behind an offensive line that still features multiple Pro Bowlers even after the retirement of center Travis Frederick.
Both Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup are also coming off 1,000-yard seasons and are joined by first-round pick CeeDee Lamb, giving Dallas a collection of receiving talent that should be the envy of the entire NFL.
The pieces are in place for the team to follow the offense-first pattern the Chiefs rode to a title last year, but McCarthy will need to prove his triumphs in Green Bay weren't just a product of riding the coattails of a generational quarterback like Rodgers.
Paying the Piper
One of the drawbacks of drafting well in the salary cap era is that eventually, all those stars want to get paid. Owner/GM Jerry Jones has opened up his checkbook often in the last few years, handing big extensions to left tackle Tyron Smith, right tackle La'el Collins and right guard Zack Martin in addition to Ezekiel Elliott and Amari Cooper, and Dak Prescott figures to follow in short order by becoming one of the NFL's highest-paid players.
All that spending on offense doesn't leave much left over for the defense, and as a result star players like Byron Jones and Robert Quinn found big bucks elsewhere as free agents this offseason. There is talent on that side of the ball, as linebackers Jaylon Smith and Leighton Vander Esch form a dangerous duo when both are healthy, and DeMarcus Lawrence, who is coming off a down season, still totaled 30 sacks over the last three years.
That leaves a lot of question marks in the unit, however, and a motley collection of rookies, cheap journeymen free agents and players looking to salvage their careers attempting to answer them. Of course, from a fantasy perspective, a team with a potent offense and a shaky defense is the ideal scenario to create shootouts. Consequently, expect a lot of high-scoring affairs for Dallas in 2020.
No Rest for the Weary
If the Cowboys have a secret weapon, it might be their incredible skill-position depth. While Ezekiel Elliott, Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup are all established names, opposition defenses still will be under pressure when those stars aren't getting the ball.
Tony Pollard didn't see consistent work as a rookie behind Elliott last season but was electric with his chances, never getting more than 14 carries in a game but producing two 100-yard rushing performances.
Rookie CeeDee Lamb was widely viewed as one of the top wide receivers available in this year's draft and drew comparisons to DeAndre Hopkins for his yards-after-catch ability. After falling to Dallas with the 17th overall selection, Lamb will work as the third receiver and give secondaries nightmares as he and Cooper flip between the outside and the slot in offensive coordinator Kellen Moore's flexible scheme.
Even Blake Jarwin, who steps into the No. 1 tight end spot following the departure of Jason Witten, has flashed his upside as a threat down the seam and averaged 8.9 yards per target in 2019, a better figure than Mark Andrews or Austin Hooper. Such depth could make touches hard to come by for some of the team's secondary options, but what they lose in volume they should be able to make up in efficiency as they get matched up against lesser defenders.
⬆ Rising: TE Blake Jarwin
Jarwin emerged as Jason Witten's heir apparent with a three-TD game in 2018. What Jarwin lacks in elite speed he makes up for in good size, reliable hands and route-running ability. Even in a stacked offense, he's a breakout candidate.
⬇ Falling: K Kai Forbath
The veteran journeyman didn't miss a kick for Dallas after replacing Brett Maher late last year. That said, the addition of Greg Zuerlein in the offseason may leave Forbath looking for work once again.
😴 Sleeper: RB Tony Pollard
While touches could be limited behind Ezekiel Elliott, Pollard was productive in a secondary role in 2019. The second-year back has a chance to erupt if Elliott's big career workload begins to catch up to him.
🌟 Pivotal Player: Dak Prescott
Coming off his best season yet, Prescott will look to join Russell Wilson at the top of the NFL salary scale, and it's hard to argue he's not worth it. His ability to minimize mistakes gets the most out of the talent around him in the Dallas offense, and head honcho Mike McCarthy could help Prescott find yet another level to his game.
Dak Prescott has vaulted himself into the upper tier of NFL QBs, where he'll soon be paid handsomely.

Walgreens, Hallmark Thank and Reward 'Loyal Customers'
Walgreens and Hallmark in November revisited a tactic they've used over the last few years, sending a personalized greeting card via traditional mail to consumers who've previously purchased the manufacturer's greeting cards at the chain.
This time using a Thanksgiving theme, the card – from "Emily, Greeting Card Buyer, Walgreens" – thanked the consumer "for buying your Hallmark cards in our stores" and presented "two offers we think you'll enjoy."
A two-sided promotional card affixed to the greeting card with an adhesive promoted offers of 5,000 Balance Rewards points with purchase of three qualifying Hallmark cards on one side, and $1 off the purchase of any Hallmark gift wrap item on the other. (The card served as a coupon redeemable in stores.) Both offers are valid through Jan. 5, 2019.
Walgreens and Hallmark similarly partnered to send thank-you cards via the United States Postal Service in July 2015, as well as thank-you emails in July 2017.

Asian traders tread carefully ahead of bank decisions
[HONG KONG] Asian stocks markets drifted Tuesday and the US dollar was virtually unmoved with investors biding their time as crucial central bank gatherings in the United States and Japan kick off.
The Fed heads into one of its most keenly awaited policy meetings after weeks of speculation that has fanned volatility across global trading floors, with investors split on whether it will lift interest rates.
At the same time opinion is divided on what the Bank of Japan's intentions are, with expectations for fresh stimulus tempered by a lack of concrete promises from Tokyo, despite weak growth and almost non-existent inflation.
The uncertainty leading up to the meeting is keeping traders at bay, Chris Weston, chief market analyst in Melbourne at IG Ltd, said.
"No one is prepared to take on too much risk ahead of the Bank of Japan and the Fed Open Market Committee meetings," he told Bloomberg News.
Your feedback is important to us

Tokyo's Nikkei index swung to and fro through the day before ending 0.2 per cent lower.
Hong Kong slipped 0.2 per cent and Shanghai lost 0.1 per cent following healthy gains on Monday. Sydney added 0.2 per cent and Seoul was 0.5 per cent higher, while Singapore shed 0.2 per cent.
In early European trade London fell 0.2 per cent, Frankfurt was flat and Paris fell 0.3 per cent.
Currency markets were also subdued ahead of the bank announcements, which are due Wednesday.
The US dollar edged up to 101.70 yen from 101.88 yen in New York while the euro was at US$1.1185 from US$1.1175.
Sterling bought US$1.3055 compared with US$1.3028.
"It's not unusual for traders to adopt a more cautious approach ahead of these events, particularly when we have two on the same day, both of which have the potential to create huge amounts of volatility in the markets," said Oanda senior market analyst Craig Erlam in a note.
Oil prices turned lower again, digging into Monday's gains as investors grow tetchy about the likelihood of a deal next week between Opec and Russia aimed at addressing a global supply glut and overproduction.
West Texas Intermediate eased 19 US cents to US$43.11 and Brent dipped 16 US cents to US$45.79.
"A big part of the rally was the hope that a deal could be getting closer with agreement at the Algiers meeting potentially leading to another meeting," said Greg McKenna, chief market strategist at CFD and FX provider AxiTrader.
"But without any solid progress or agreement from all the oil producing countries, volatility and uncertain outlook continues."
In company news, Japanese airbag supplier Takata tumbled 11.6 per cent after a report said some potential buyers were considering bankruptcy proceedings if they are successful in its purchase.
The firm has been hit by the global auto industry's biggest-ever safety recall over its exploding bags. Bloomberg News said private equity firms and auto parts makers were preparing offers for the company, and some were considering the drastic bankruptcy action to mitigate the liabilities.

No need
I get screeners sent to me on a regular basis.
My brother used to practically own Rogers, he partnered with Ted Rogers, then ran their legal department, then sold a WHOLE WHACK of his stores back to ROgers and now is a majority share holder in an international Auto glass company.
You guys think I do a lot of different stuff, I can't keep up with my brother though.
I miss local stores.
We now have a Blockbuster membership that bills monthly (I dont know how much, wifie never telles me anything about what we pay for anything). The monthly fee allows unlimited rentals with no late fees, limmit two at a time.
I think Blockbuster is going to die out. Its just too bad they had to take all the locals out before other options do the same to them.
They aren't too popular here.
In BC anyway, they are dead or dying.
Future Shop sells DVD's for $10.00
By the time you rent the DVD $5.00 (approx. I haven't rented in years) then paid for the three days late charge, you may as well buy the damn thing to begin with.
PLUS, they cut and censor movies at BB here so people rent from others.
PLUS Rogers offer cell phone service and you can pay your bill in the store, this makes it familiar and a common visit for many.
PLUS, Blockbuster just plain sucks bobo!
Just like WallMart.
I will spare you my full WalMart rant, I will just be happy to see them go.
Yeah man, I would NEVER do business with BlockBuster. They're awful.
Not to mention they just opened up their netflix wanna be service for cheaper than netflix... but I'd never swtich just because they're blockbuster (ballbuster)...
Here's a Blockbuster scam
They have a promotion where you can bring in any 3 used games and trade them for a new one. My buddy has been going to a third party bargain bin and grabbing some $5 games and trading them in. Basically, he brings in 3 brand new and identical games, that run him less than $20, and trades them for a new release that could run you upwards of about $60 - $70 with tax.
Now they're stuck with a wholesale lot of crappy games that nobody will even look at.
Everytime he walks in, they shake their heads, but managment has not yet removed the promotion.
That's a familiar one
When I bought Turbo Grafx (yeah okay I know, but Bonk was hilarious!), there was a little games shop who did trades the same way. In Vancouver there was a BIG weekly flea market where importers would clear out a lot of junk. We used to buy TG games for a few bucks and trade them in on the new games as the other store.
You know it was a simpler life when you could travel to the flea market, buy games travel to Richmond and trade them in, and actually saving $20-$30 was worth the time.
Hey... I just sold mine to some collector
...a few years back. I had The cds for "Ys" 1,2,3; about 3 "Keith Courage's", and about ten more that I can't remember off hand. A couple of Dungeon games.
That's my problem
I have friends with little kids, I have given away all my console games as they have grown up.
I guess they will be 50yrs old and selling it for a few grand on E-Bay, thinking that stupid old fool mum used to do, he had no idea how much these would be worth!
No, I'm not bitter about it. :)

BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese maritime officials on Friday removed an online notice giving the location of a $1-billion (700.62 million pounds) deepwater oil rig in the South China Sea two days after issuing it, following a warning from Vietnam about drilling in disputed waters.
Vietnam closely tracks the movement of the oil rig, which in mid-2014 caused the worst diplomatic rift between the neighbours in decades, when China parked it for 10 weeks in waters Vietnam considers its own.
Annual trade between the communist neighbours exceeds $60 billion (42.04 billion pounds) but anti-China sentiment is strong in Vietnam, where people are embittered over what many see as a history of Chinese bullying and territorial infringements in the South China Sea.
On Friday, China's Maritime Safety Administration cancelled, and then removed from its website, the notice dated January 20.
The notice placed the Haiyang Shiyou 981 rig at the Lingshui 25-2-1 well site about 140 km (87 miles) south of China's Sanya resort city on Hainan island, and 150 km (93 miles) west of the Paracel Islands that China occupies, and which Vietnam claims.
The agency was not immediately available to comment.
Still on display is a notice from December placing the rig at the Lingshui 24-1-1 well site, about 170 km (106 miles) southeast of Sanya, and 70 km northwest (44 miles) of the Paracel Islands.
The December notice originally said the rig would remain there until February 10.
On Wednesday, China's Foreign Ministry said the rig was not drilling in disputed territory, in response to a warning from Vietnam to refrain from such activity.
China Oilfield Services Ltd (COSL), a subsidiary of China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), manages the platform and rents it out.
CNOOC's flagship listed subsidiary, CNOOC Ltd, said last year it had discovered a mid-sized volume of natural gas at the Lingshui 25-1 well, near the Lingshui 25-2 well site. That followed discovery of a larger volume at the Lingshui 17-2 well, 30 km (19 miles) west of Lingshui 24-1-1.
The company could not immediately be reached for comment.
In 2014, China's deployment of the rig about 120 nautical miles off Vietnam's coast, in what Vietnam considers its exclusive economic zone, led to the worst breakdown in relations since a brief border war in 1979.
Vietnam's concern follows its complaints, echoed by the Philippines, over China's recent test flights on an artificial island in the disputed Spratly archipelago.
China considers most of the South China Sea to be its territory but Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam have competing claims. About $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes through the busy waterway each year.

text: Yamaha PAS rent-a-cycles for Kyoto Helping preserve the environment in this important tourist city December 03, 1997 Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. recently lent a total of 60 units of the Yamaha PAS electro-hybrid bicycle to rental operators in the Arashiyama-Sagano districtof Kyoto on a trial "monitor" basis. Kyoto is actively promoting a program of reducing exhaust gas and noise in o rder to protect the city's priceless cultural heritage and this move came in response to the city's directive to cycle rental operators to introduce electro-hybrid bicycles in their rental fleets. PAS rent-a-cycles in use in Japan's tourism capital, Kyoto The Arashiyama-Sagano district of Kyoto is an important tourist area that includes temples like Tenryu-ji, which has been designated a World Heritage site. The tourist traffic into this area has also brought with it a severe plague of exhaust, noise and traffic jams that the city is seeking ways to combat. In order to protect the invaluable cultural assets of this district by reducing automotive exhaust and noise while at the same time boosting its image as a tourist area, the city of Kyoto is considering designating the Arashiyama-Sagano district as a "Priority Area for Low-pollution Vehicles." In a report issued this past March by an independent specialized research organization commissioned by the city of Kyoto in connection with this plan, the following conclusion was reached: "By beginning with a concentrated introduction of various types of nonpolluting vehicles for services like city buses, local taxis, buses for daycare, nursery schools and facilities for the elderly, etc., that pass through the district, it would eventually be possible to declare the district a complete 'Free Zone for Low-pollution Vehicles' which no gasoline or diesel powered vehicles would be allowed to enter." It also happens that from December 1 to 10, Kyoto was host to the summit on global warming (COP3) attended by some 5,000 representatives from over 170 nations and international organizations. Seizing the occasion of the COP3 summit, the city of Kyoto issued a directive to rental cycle operators to introduce electro-hybrid bicycles into their fleets as vehicles that could be used in such a 'Free Zone,' thus demonstrating as the host city one type of practical measure that cities can undertake to deal with environmental problems. In answer to this call, Yamaha was able to support the city's program by supplying its electro-hybrid bicycle PAS on a monitor lease basis. The PAS electro-hybrid bicycles were lent to the following four operators in the Arashiyama-Sagano district. · Arashiyama Cypic: Nishi-ichikawa-cho, Arashiyama, Nishikyo-ku · Rent-a-cycle Kyoto: Tsukurimichi-cho, Saga Tenryu-ji, Ukyo-ku · Sagano Kanko Tetsudo (Sagano Tourist Railway): Kurumamichi-cho, Saga Tenryu-ji, Ukyo-ku · Arashiyama Ladies Hotel: Tsukurimichi-cho, Saga Tenryu-ji, Ukyo- ku To each of the operators have been lent units of the Yamaha "New PAS" 24-inch and the "PAS Star Cross" that are now being rented out to tourists for getting around the area. As for the number of units, Arashiyama Cypic received 20 units, Rent-a-cycle Kyoto and Sagano Tourist Railway were each lent 15 units and the Arashiyama Ladies Hotel 10 units, bringing the total to 60 units. Arashiyama-Sagano is a hilly district where a number of famous temples are spread over a relatively large tourist area. In the past, rental cycle shops would often hear complaints about the difficulty of riding conventional bicycles over the hills of the area, but since the Yamaha PAS has been introduced the "fun" of riding them has made them increasingly popular. One 26-year-old woman commented, "With a vehicle like the PAS to get around with there is no need to come by car. A combination of trains and a rental PAS is all you need to fully enjoy sightseeing here." Another woman (32) said, "It is cars coming into the narrow streets of the Arashiyama-Sagano district that cause the traffic jams here. Bicycles are a good means not only to relieve traffic congestion but also help ensure the safety of pedestrians. Especially bicycles like the electro-hybrid Yamaha PAS with their reduced physical strain for the users are something that people feel good about renting." The electro-hybrid bicycle Yamaha PAS The electro-hybrid bicycle is a product that was originally developed and released by Yamaha Motor as a world's first. The PAS's Power Assist System utilizes sensors to measure the pedaling force applied by the rider and the speed of the bicycle and, based on these parameters, automatically supplies a commensurate amount of supplementary driving force from the battery-powered electric motor. At times like starting up or riding uphill, into the wind or with a heavy load, the sensors instantly detect the increased force being applied to the pedals and answer by increasing the drive force from the motor. However, as the bicycle speed increases past a certain point the amount of supplementary force applied from the motor decreases proportionately, and when it reaches a predetermined top speed the power assist system shuts off completely and the bicycle is powered solely by the rider?s pedaling, so there is no fear of the bicycle reaching excessive speeds due to the action of the motor. At present there are seven models in the PAS line-up. The PAS power units are also being sold on an OEM basis to major bicycle manufacturers in Japan, Europe and the U.S.A., helping to bring total production of the units to the 250,000 mark in 1997. Tourists ride rent-a-cycles on the road leading to the Adashino Nenbutsu-ji Temple in Sagano.

Tuesday Tue
Wednesday Wed
Thursday Thu
Friday Fri
Saturday Sat
Sunday Sun
Monday Mon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 5 days on 22 April 2054 at 04:02.
Moon rises in the evening and sets in the morning. It is visible to the southwest and it is high in the sky after midnight.
Moon is passing about ∠11° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 6.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1784" and ∠1906".
Next Full Moon is the Flower Moon of May 2054 after 24 days on 21 May 2054 at 15:16.
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
The Moon is 20 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 671 of Meeus index or 1624 from Brown series.
Length of current 671 lunation is 29 days, 12 hours and 28 minutes. It is 2 hours and 48 minutes longer than next lunation 672 length.
Length of current synodic month is 16 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 hours and 53 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This lunation true anomaly is ∠254.3°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠288.9°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
9 days after point of perigee on 18 April 2054 at 00:58 in ♍ Virgo. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 2 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 30 April 2054 at 05:45 in ♒ Aquarius.
Moon is 401 772 km (249 650 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 2 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 404 138 km (251 120 mi).
9 days after its ascending node on 18 April 2054 at 05:03 in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 4 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 2 May 2054 at 00:18 in ♓ Pisces.
9 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
At 01:47 on this date the Moon is meeting its South standstill point, when it will reach southern declination of ∠-18.930°. Next 13 days the lunar orbit will move in opposite northward direction to face North declination of ∠19.033° in its northern standstill point on 11 May 2054 at 05:32 in ♋ Cancer.
After 10 days on 7 May 2054 at 17:00 in ♉ Taurus, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.

Just when you thought you had heard it all with the recent report that a payday lender is in charge of running the regulatory agency for the industry in Texas, score one more for the pay day lending industry.
In El Paso, according to a recent agreement made with the local metropolitan authority, the Camino Real Regional Mobility Authority, Ace Cash Express will begin selling toll tags and collecting tolls on behalf of the transportation authority beginning January 8th.
The Camino Real Regional Mobility Authority is charged with implementing the first toll road in the region and has partnered with the North Texas Tollway Authority. The NTTA currently, according to a statement given to the El Paso Times, doesn't have the infrastructure to operate an office that deals with all the collections and the billings for the toll road.
Ace Cash Express is a pay day lender that provides title loans, and debit card services. The payday lending industry is overseen by the Texas Finance Commission which, as Shelby reported just earlier today, is run by a pay day lender.
Currently there are no rules or regulations to the amount of interest placed on a pay day loan, and there is also no limit to the amount of additional fees that can be incurred on one individual loan.
And you guessed it, there is a convenience fee to set up a toll account with Ace Cash Express.
There have been minor efforts to regulate the payday industry, but all have failed to pass. Many bills were introduced but SB 1247 was the most recent effort, which passed the Senate but did not get out of committee on the House side.

Botanical Microscope (No. 44)
|Age: 17751800
Made by: unknown
Made in: probably England
This is a brass simple microscope, the design of which was popular during the second half of the 18th century. It is patterned after the design of William Withering (17411799) as described in: A Botanical Arrangement of all the vegetables naturally growing in Great Britain, 2 volumes (1776). A description of his life can be found here.
The instrument is a three-tier system. It has a two-element magnifying lens mounted on the top transverse bar. The middle tier is the sample stage mounted on two friction-fit collars. The circular base has three peg-like feet and holds two support pillars. Focusing is accomplished by moving the central, circular stage up or down along the two pillars. It has a large mirror mounted beneath the stage on pivots connected to the support pillars. Attached to the stage are a bull's-eye lens for illuminating opaque samples, and a pointer/forceps (now broken). The stage and base have several cutouts for storage of dissecting tools, all of which are now missing. The magnification is approximately 10x. Illumination can be either transmitted light for transparent specimens, or epi-illumination (for opaque specimens). Imaging is good but shows vignetting at the edges. The instrument is 9.5cm tall.
This microscope is similar to microscope No. 244 in the Golub Collection.
|Microscope featured 8/04, 11/09
