Addressing journalists following a visit to Farsons brewery in Mriehel, he said that it emerges that there may be more than the 1,000 individuals that have already been identified. Referring to another Enemalta official who was suspended yesterday, he said that indications show that more is yet to emerge regarding the case. He highlighted that in cases electricity tampering, Malta can either take criminal steps or request the offenders to pay back their dues accompanied with a fine. Asked if the government would be giving instructions to the police to investigate the persons identified to have bribed the Enemalta employees, he replied saying that the government does not give instructions to the police.

WINPRO Performance Supplements Review by Mitch Strobl
Growing up, my dad and I spent many days afield hunting upland birds. We had a couple of chocolate labs, and my dad's best buddy had a beautiful short-hair pointer. As a unit, these pups really had it going. There wasn't a safe bird in the county (unless my dad was shooting, of course).
During one of our hunts, I'll never forget my dad's buddy saying, "hey now… a bird hunter is only as good as his worst bird dog." I forget the context of the conversation, but that line stuck out to me. It was clearly Brett's way of reinforcing the importance of training your dogs.
Over the years as my affection for bird hunting has matured, I invested in my very own pup. George, my incredibly goofy wire-haired pointing griffon. He hunts everything from upland birds, to ducks, to grasshoppers in the backyard, to snuggles with my wife and baby. Yes, I'm one of those guys that lets his hunting dog sleep in the bed and I'm not ashamed to admit it. In fact, George being the pampered house dog that he is was incredibly relevant during my review of the WINPRO supplements.
Now, before I jump into the review I'd like to disclaim that I am by no means a knowledgeable dog trainer. I'm simply a guy dedicated to raising a well-mannered dog that can find a bird for me to shoot. I call that out because I'd like to reinforce that this review was done by a regular guy and his pup, nothing more. I'm a busy professional, I live in the city, I have a house dog that hunts, I have little access to training grounds, etc. I find this is a position that more hunters find themselves in then they care to admit.
Also, many of you reading this will know way more than I do about dogs and that's okay. The point of the article is not to teach about dog training (clearly). Publishing reviews is not my way of making a living, so as such I have no loyalty to WINPRO. I'm not interested in simply regurgitating what the company uses as catchy marketing lingo. I hope you'll find that authenticity beneficial to this review.
I'm going to break my review down into 3 segments, as each produced different results that are worth noting.
1.) The offseason.
WINPRO supplements used: Immunity, Training & Recovery.
Takeaways: WINPRO Immunity definitely helps with gut health. Didn't see a noticeable difference with Training & Recovery supplement.
As I stated earlier, I'm by no means a dog training expert. Our offseason routine includes a couple good runs per week for endurance (depending on weather), some dummy retrieves at the local park or pond, and basic obedience. While using WINPRO supplements during the offseason, I can't say that I saw any performance enhancement from the Training & Recovery supplement, though I believe this was due more to the fact that we don't really train all that hard during the summer. However, the one thing I did notice was an improvement in George's stool as a result of the Immunity supplements. I can't explain why, but George battles with soft or loose stool. We've tried all kinds of foods at the vet's recommendation but honestly, haven't found the silver bullet. In less than a week, George's stool assumed a desirable consistency and became fairly regular and predictable. I really appreciated this because I can tell that he feels better when it comes to #2, but selfishly, it's much easier to pick up solid stool than runny! We have a small backyard, so we have to pick up on a regular basis, so this really did make a huge difference for our family.
2.) The preseason.
WINPRO supplements used: Immunity, Training & Recovery.
Takeaways: Stable gut health and stool. Now noticed a difference with Training & Recovery supplement.
The few months leading up to the season, we do step it up a notch. Still nothing close to what my hardcore hunting buddies and their hounds commit to, but still pretty intense for us. We continue running, we extend our retrieving sessions, and we add in a "wing course" a couple times a week. Towards the latter part of preseason, we also work live birds. Training sessions are longer and more frequent. George's stool continued to be solid and predictable, even as we stepped up the stress level a bit. The noticeable difference, though, came from the Training & Recovery supplements. I noticed that George's energy went further during our training sessions. He rarely showed signs of fatigue, which hadn't been the case in prior years. Additionally, he got second winds. In the past, when he was done he was done. This year, when I did notice fatigue, we took a quick break and he was quick to bounce back. As our runs got longer, I noticed that George recovered quicker than normal, as well. Simply put, even though activity intensified, George was able to handle it and he bounced back and was ready for tomorrow.
3.) Tucker.
WINPRO supplements used: Mobility.
Takeaways: My older dog definitely benefited from mobility.
Perhaps the most hilarious part of my review was giving WINPRO mobility to my wife's (again, my WIFE'S dog) toy poodle. Don't let that full you though, if not for his size he'd be as much of a bird dog as any. He's savage. At the recommendation of WINPRO, I gave Tucker appropriate portions of the Mobility supplement. He's an older pup, about 9 years old to be exact. He has some arthritis, which is becoming more and more apparent when he plays fetch with his stuffed pheasant. Much to my surprise, the mobility supplements helped Tucker. I can't explain it, but he's not as stiff anymore. Plus, he feels better so he's been wanting to play fetch and go on walks much more often which has helped his overall being. I know this isn't the hunting dog review that you might have been after, but again my goal was just to pass along the real results from my review. If you ask me, it doesn't get any more real than admitting you tested performance supplements on a 4.5 lb toy poodle!
So, why are WINPRO performance supplements so important for a pup? Well, I'll be honest with you… I'm still not 100% convinced that they are. We still have to make it through hunting season. I definitely saw favorable results, but I'm confident that my pups would do just fine w/o them. That said, our budget allows for it, so we're opting to keep WINPRO going with George and Tucker.
My review wouldn't be complete if I didn't fully disclose my concerns about the product. I have only 1 concern with the WINPRO supplements.
Flavor: I do think it's important to note that George wasn't crazy about the supplements at first. He spit out the first WINPRO supplement that I gave him. He was not interested at all (though Tucker was, and savagely scarfed it down). On the second day, same deal. George walked away from it, so Tucker raced in and inhaled it. I was beginning to think that I'd have to conduct this review using a 4.5 lb toy poodle! I'm sure WINPRO would have loved that. I only bring this up because there's a chance that the flavor isn't the most desirable and some dogs might not take at all, or like George, take a while to come around. George is definitely picky, so I'm sure it's more that than the product flavor. Plus, all the other dogs chow down on them without hesitation.
About WINPRO supplements.
The WINPRO line of canine supplements is broken down into 4 different categories; Immunity, Focus, Mobility, Training & Recovery. Each supplement containing ingredients that trigger different responses. However, the basic concept as I understand it is that inflammation creates problems. Whether it is inflammation of the GI tract, joints, or other. WINPRO supplements are blended to prevent and minimize inflammation throughout the body, thus reducing problems. It's a simple concept in layman terms, though there's an entire science behind it. I'll leave the scientific explanation up to WINPRO.
Last but not least, I always scrape the internet to find out what others have to say. Social media and 3rd party resellers have really given consumers the ability to voice their true thoughts for all to see. Unfortunately, I didn't find much. This isn't concerning as WINPRO appears to be fairly new to the market, so naturally, they'll need some time to prove themselves. There are testimonials on the WINPRO website, but I was after true, unbiased reviews. They don't have much of a Facebook following yet, but the few reviews they have there are all good. Their supplements are sold on Amazon but don't have any reviews yet. I guess the consumer reviews are TBD!
Would I recommend WINPRO supplements? Yes. If your budget allows for it, I would encourage you to try them out. They can be purchased online at Amazon and www.winpropet.com, as well as other retailers. The beautiful thing about supplements is if they don't work for you or your dog, you can simply stop using them! Pretty simple.

Parasha "Shemot" EX 1:1-6:1
Posted on:
01/02/19 at 07:09:30 EST
PARASHA: Shemot (Names)
We enter into a new era, Jacob/Israel and Joseph are now in the
past, yet their legacy continues, in Am Yisrael (The People of
70 souls entered Mitzraim (Egypt). It is interesting that
the Hebrew word Nefesh is used for souls yet the word is in
singular, but why? Is there a symbolism here? If we are to read this
in the English, we would read; 70 soul entered Egypt.
One could say that the word Nefesh (Soul) could refer to the
whole Family of Israel as ONE (Echad) family unit, as we are ONE
with Elohim, then all of Israel was ONE as well.
hundreds of years later, we have a few million Hebrews.
There is a list in the beginning of Exodus of the b'nei Israel
(the sons of Israel) and they had their children, and their children
had children, etc. They remained in the area of Goshen along the
Nile Delta, farming, raising cattle, probably a few became
merchants, they adapted to the life in Egypt, got used to seeing
Egyptian deities, probably understood spoken Egyptian. Who knows if
many became Egyptianized did they bow down to the deities? Let's
hope not.
How much did they retain about Adonai? El Shaddai? We don't
know, but I am sure that the story of Joseph and how he brought his
family to Egypt from Canaan was passed down from family to family.
The story of the famine, and how Yosef preserved life in midst of
the famine. So b'nei Israel multiplied, and the land was filled
with the b'nei Israel, and now the Egyptians start to get nervous.
In verse 8, problems start;
And there arose a new king over Egypt who knew not Joseph
there are a few ideas of who it might have been. Some believer it
might have been Pharaoh Ahmose the title Pharaoh is not the
name, it is only a title which means ruler. It might have been
Ahmose or even Rameses II. A little on Egyptian words and
etymology, the Egyptian word meses or mose means born of so
the name Moshe or Moses is similar to meses (born of) or
(Taken from). There were many Rameses it means Born of the god
RA Ahmose probably (born of Ah) Thutmose (born of the god
Thut) and so on. So many pharaohs took on those names.
The pharaoh of verse 8 is paranoid and thinks that the
Israelites will join, perhaps with the Hittites, to over throw
Egypt. It is said that Senoset the pharaoh that gave rise to
power to Joseph was a foreign king, a Semite known as a Hyksos
king, perhaps that was why he felt some kinship with Joseph. Now
the slavery starts and the Hebrews (Egyptian word is Hapiru) are
made slaves, and the good times are over.
Yet Elohim hears the cries of his people, and has selected the
tribe of Levi, through a couple; Amran and Jochebed, to bring into
the world, Moshe who would be a sort of Mashiach (like Yosef) to
lead Israel OUT of Egypt, in God's appointed time. YHVH has a time
for ALL THINGS, we cannot rush God's clock, it ticks slowly for us,
yet it ticks out second by second and includes us all in the plan of
the throne of Egyptian probably changes, and the pharaohs
continue to be paranoid, one develops a plan to curb the birth
rate by killing the baby boys, according to the historian 'Ted
Stewart' in his book solving the Exodus Mystery the pharaoh who
ordered the death of the male infants was Sesostris III we see
that Moshe is adopted by the daughter of this pharaoh. At the time
when Moshe grows up and is in the palace, being raised as a prince
of Egypt and at the time, retaining (inside) his Hebrew identity.
We remember that his kills an Egyptian in defending one of his own,
the Pharaoh that sought his death was Amenemhet III. When Moshe
fled and spent 40 years in Madian, upon returning, he faced the
Pharaoh Amenemhet IV who was the Pharaoh of the Exodus, who
pursued the Israelites through the Red Sea, (and didn't quite make
it, receiving a very fatal water baptism). (T. Stewart, Solving the
Exodus Mystery, www.biblediscoveries.com)
This Parashah has so much that I wish to concentrate on the
Calling of Moshe in chapter three of Shemot
God calls to Moshe while he is taking care of Yitro's sheep near Mt.
Sinai. A note to mention is that God prepares his servants
beforehand, before sending them out on the mission fields, Midian
and the flocks of sheep were the training grounds and subjects of
his training, before leading out Human sheep to the land of Midian
that he now knew and was familiar with
God calls him saying; Anochi Elohei Aviyha (I am the God of
your father) so the name Elohei is used, then he uses a more
personal name in verse 14; Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh if you can really
call it a name, it is translated as I AM that or who I AM, which is
really not a name at all. So, what is God trying to convey to Moshe?
In a way, he is saying, Is a proper name so important Moe? Just
understand that I EXIST! I have existed in the past, the present,
and will exist in the future from the word Ehyeh is a form of
Haya or Havayah meaning to exist or the essence of being
from this we get the most sacred name of God: YHVH
HaVaYaH (re-arrange the letters a we get YHVH) modern translators
put in vowels to get YeHoVaH and have changed the Y to J to become
JEHOVAH, but that is not the original name, there exists no J in
The other name used in chapter 3 is Elohim Elohim said to
Moshe….Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh… Elohim is the all power God of
Creation, the Tri-une God (im) who we know, as Messianic believers,
as being EL (father) BEN-YESHUA, (Yeshua the Son) RUACH-HaKodesh
(The Holy Spirit) .
Elohim has revealed himself to us in human form through
YESHUA, and as Moshe lead his people out of the slavery of physical
bondage, YESHUA lead us out of the bondage of spiritual slavery of
sin, leading us to a new life, in a personal relationship with HIM,
as the Israelites entered into a renewed relationship with Elohei
starting at Sinai, our relationship starts at Calvary. We are now
joined to His chosen people through adoption, both native born in
Israel, and those who are from the diaspora, we are all ONE (ECHAD)
in Messiah Yeshua Ben David, Ben Adam, Ben YHVH.
We continue to read and we find in chapter 4 that YHVH sends
Moshe back to Egypt to lead his people out. We find that God works
through people, some very special, others very ordinary. Yet before
sending back Moshe, He prepares him in the desert as a shepherd.
One can divide the life of Moshe into three parts, the first 40
years as prince and general in Egypt, the second 40 years as an
outcast, yet an instrument in the hands of YHVH, and the last 40
years as leader of Israel.
Before sending him back, there are three signs that YHVH gives
Moshe, as authority. When we look at these three signs of
authority, we see Yeshua in these signs. The first was the
Mateh (The staff). It was common for every household leader to
carry a staff, a little more than just a walking stick. The
Mateh was the sign of leadership and authority. But this one
would be changed into a serpent when Moshe threw it down before
Pharaoh. The serpent was the sign of kingly authority in Egypt,
as it was a part of the royal headdress that the pharaohs wore.
Shepherds carried a rod and a staff when leading sheep.
The rod being a short, heavy club that was used as a weapon, and
the staff to lead. Yeshua is the good shepherd who leads us,
who, crushed the head of the serpent at Calvary.
The second sign was the sign of disease and healing of said
disease namely Tza-arat (leprosy). We see in the Prophets that
Elisha healed Naaman the Syrian of leprosy, Yeshua also healed the
sick, including lepers. Even in the desert, those who were bitten
by serpents were healed by a bronze serpent on a staff (again,
returning to the staff and serpent). Yeshua is our healer and heals
us of the curse of sin and death.
The third sign was the water turned to blood on dry land
(4:9). This reminds us of our Messiah Yeshua, who when on the
cross, was pierced by a roman spear, and out of his side came blood
and water and this mixture of blood and water fell from the cross
on dry land. By his shed blood we are saved, by Yeshua who is the
living Water. So, we also see in these three signs, the Torah
the Prophets and the Brit HaDashah
In the days to come, shall Jacob take root, Israel shall
blossom and bud…. We see a fulfilling of this prophecy in that
once taken from Egypt, and united and solidified as a People a
Nation, this people/nation has grown and has spread out throughout
the world
Though many nations have tried to snuff out Am Yisrael, they,
in turn (those nations) have suffered punishment and defeat in
trying to do just that. Can a mouse snuff-out an elephant?
Israel, upon being scattered throughout the nations, brought the
belief in ONE GOD when the nations believed in Multi-gods
Through the Tribe of Yhudah, came forth YHVH in the flesh,
Yeshua who is Yeshuah (Salvation) to all those who believe on
him who died to set men free from sin.
Yeshua tells a parable about the Kingdom of Heaven being
likened to a marriage/wedding feast, and the king invites many to
come, but they refuse, and even kill the servants, then he sends an
army to destroy those who rejected him and killed his servants, and
sent others to invite others to come, and many came, and the feast
was given. Both good and bad came,
When we look at this in plain light, Yeshua is now preparing a
wedding feast to those who have accepted his invitation. Many
accept, even those who walk in evil ways, want to change their
lives, so they come to the wedding feast, yet also, many reject.
The offer still stands, Yeshua died on the cross to offer mankind
salvation (Yeshuah) through his blood and full atonement of sins.
Yet many still make fun of that and refuse the free gift of
salvation, to prefer the ways of the world.
Those who refuse, and die in their sins, will suffer eternal
punishment in the Lake of fire, While the offer was made, they
refused, while others accepted. What will you do with the free gift
of Salvation? Accept or reject?

It's That Time Again…
Mid-season sale time, that is! For guys and gals on a seriously college-level budget (like me), this is your chance to stock up on essentials and snag that trendy swag you've been lusting after all season.
Below is me this summer, on location in San Francisco for a Mawi London piece about our amazing American stockists. I'm wearing a Topshop dress that I scored during their spring mid-season sale. I love it to death, and it's easily become my most-worn piece of clothing.
I've rounded up my top ten picks from Topshop's sale. Hopefuly I'll actually be able to invest in some of them but for now it's just wishful shopping. Have a look below!
1. Mix and Match Sweatshirt: For those grumpy/hurried/oops-I-slept-in days where you throw on some black leggings, yank your hair into a topknot and stomp around in your most bad-girl booties.
2. Rib V Jumper by Boutique: For always.
3. Wash Zip Tunic by Boutique: Been obsessed with this dress since I saw Elle Fanning wearing a similar one, also by Boutique.
4. Floral Print Mesh-Backed Maxi Dress: Throw on pick numbers two and ten and you've got a perfectly disheveled fall ensemble.
5. Lace Soft Bra: No explanation necessary. Considering going wireless forever.
6. Spike Bobbies: Spikes are almost too on-trend at the moment but, for the days when your hair could use some edge.
7. Oxblood Calf-Length Wrap Skirt: Not usually one for the lo-high hemline but this one hits the mark. Plus, oxblooooooooood.
8. Metallic Lace Flippy Dress: Pastels, check. Lace, check. Metallic? Yes please!
9. Oversized Boyfriend Coat: Been drooling over this since Christmas, literally.
10. Aerobic Hi-Top Trainer Wedges: Because I can't resist the wedge sneaker anymore! I've been trying but, let's be honest, they are awesome.
What are you sizing up and hunting down during this month's sale season? Anything specific? Let me know in the comments below!

Kitties and Pretties: First Edition
Today I'm revealing to the world something that, up until now, I've only hinted at here and there. Think what you may, but aside from being a serious student, a lover of all things literary, fashion, film, and craft, I am also deeply pleased by the subject of this post: kitties and pretties!
It's exactly what it sounds like, an absolutely indulgent, hilarious, wonderful subject that is simply a way to have some visual fun with this blog and throw a hefty dose of cuteness into the world amidst a whole lot of really bummer subjects. Enjoy!
Above, a box full of vintage earrings, all recently found and upcycled from clip-ons. Also seen are some vintage bracelets. A new favorite of mine has one of the ten commandments punched onto each charm; I can't get enough of the kitschy Sunday school vibes. It's also proof that I never hesitate to add an element of humour to my outfits — I told you I'm a jewellery addict! And now for this week's kitty…
Above is one of my favorite little kitties, Nola, a resident of P's new house. She was adopted for free from an ad on Craigslist but everyone thinks she's a Bengal. I love her to death because she's so smart! She'll play fetch for hours. See below for more pretties pictures.
Above, a vintage strawberry pin.
Well there you have it! Next up: the full scoop on my most excellent birthday weekend.

Currently Crushing: Tatty Devine
Gosh, I have such a huge crush on British jewellery brand Tatty Devine. Their AW12 collection is chalk full of their trademark perspex riddled with whimsy, this time featuring super cool moths and playful leopards. Check it!
Not only does this designing duo crank out cult favorites season after season (see their much-loved dinosaur necklace), they have an incredible way of reaching out to their customers, both via social media and in person. They even feature a customer of the month on their blog! And their customers are a very, very devoted bunch.
I am just dying right now for not being back in London yet; I would do just about anything to get to their amazing events coming up in October. I'm telling you, they are AWESOME, right?
Another really pro-customer and pushing-the-envelope type thing they do are design your own name necklaces. For this, you can go straight to one of their two stores, in Covent Garden or on Brick Lane, OR you can design your very own name necklace (really whatever word you want, although I haven't tried any dirty ones) online! WHAAAT!
There are over a dozen colors to choose from, little trinkets to add on, and several kinds of fonts making thousands of possible combinations! I might be a little too excited about this, but I am a huge jewellery addict and these gals are doing some great things in the realm of accessories. Above: infinite adorableness in the Tatty Devine Covent Garden window displays, by artist Amy Harris.
I'm also a big fan of their moderate to medium-expensive price range. As your typical shoestring budget student, I mostly 'invest' in thrift store jewellery but I would splurge (a little!) for anything Tatty Devine in a heartbeat. I haven't actually gotten my hands on a piece yet but I think a birthday present to myself may be in order. On my wishlist are…
…these Leopard Stud Earrings in caramel…
…and this supremely fabulous Frida Kahlo necklace!
What do you think of Tatty Devine? Got a crush too? Lemme know in the comments!

The Great American Road Trip Day Four: Omaha, NE
We finally made it to Omaha! I thought Iowa would never end. But seriously.
Last night we camped out at North Overlook Campground on Lake Red Rock in Iowa. We didn't get all of our gear set up until 3am–P and I are obviously novice campers.
The next morning we made a delicious campfire breakfast of eggs and potatoes and jumped in the lake for a swim before heading off to Omaha.
Here we're staying with P's grandpa Richard. The first thing he said as we trampled through his door in desperate search of air conditioning was, "Oh good, I was hoping you'd make it in time fore mass!" So off we went, sweat, lake-water-hair and all to my first Catholic mass just three blocks from Richard's house.
Besides the overwhelming religious undertones, I am thrilled that we got to visit with Richard. He has had such an incredible life: a child of the dust bowl, a world-traveling member of the air force and navy during and after WWII, successful doctor, father of seven, and loyal husband.
He graciously took us to dinner and I insisted on hearing his stories of London life shortly after the blitz. Turns out he lived in a hotel for a few weeks very near where I lived last semester in the Royal Borough of Kensington. It's exciting to think that we've both walked down the same streets, connected in such a distant way.
Afterwards everyone was exhausted but I couldn't hide my curiousity. P's mother grew up in this house and it is saturated with memories of rich childhoods. Also, P's grandmother Jean passed away over a decade ago but her clothes still hang in all the closets, making the space a quiet shrine to her memory. Portraits of her at glamourous dinner parties and family vacations throughout her life litter the walls and tabletops. She certainly was a fabulous woman. Every once in a while P's mom will remember her as constantly emanating a JackieO vibe, American perfection in every way.
Turning down the bed in my (separate, naturally) bedroom, I couldn't help but peel back the closet doors to see what remnants of this woman's incredible wardrobe still remained. I was in the kid's old room so not much to find, but this beautiful floral blazer and a very groovy chiffon dress. In a second closet was a gold mine of Richard's tailored suits and amazing collection of Burberry oxford shirts. P's grandma wasn't the only one with a fine taste for clothing!
The best thing I found was this small book with a black and white picture of one of P's aunts on the cover, arm and arm with a dashing young man. Inside was a picture of twenty or more debs, decked out in elbow-length gloves and white gowns for their Coming Out Ball. I couldn't find a date or list of names of the girls, but the old glamour of this scenario still has me reeling. I love thinking that that night must have been such a milestone for those girls. I can't wait to meet P's aunt and ask her about the experience.
This fascination for generations past is the same motivation that pulls me toward the Victoria and Albert. I haven't gotten anywhere near visiting all of the galleries and museums in London but whenever I find a spare hour or two, I constantly find myself gravitating toward the V&A. The collections never fail to tell a story, and I can't resist the allure of the unknown. No matter how many times I wander its halls, I always find a room I've never seen before.
Next stop: Denver, CO

Bay Club Fourth of July Festivities
Monday, 16. July 2018 8:50
Another successful Bay Club Fourth of July Celebration is in the books for members and their guests.
Attendees enjoyed the carnival-style atmosphere which included face painting, dunk tank, bouncy house, inflatable obstacle course and individual and team races. New attractions of basketball and corn hole joined wiffleball, mini golf and volley ball to add to our game and sport offerings. But the biggest competition of the evening was our popular egg toss – drawing the largest group of participants and even became a spectator event. The competition lasted 20 minutes and in the end, a new pair of champions was crowned.
What's a party without food? A member favorite, Fried Chicken was on the menu, which also included Grilled Sausage, Hamburgers, Grilled Vegetables and various Summer Salads. Our young guests enjoyed Hot Dogs, Popcorn, Cotton Candy and Snow Cones.
And no Fourth of July Celebration would be complete without fireworks! Spectators enjoyed a brilliant display in perfect viewing conditions.
It was a beautiful day and party, and we are already discussing ways to make next year's event even better.

WordPress blog publishing platform allows individual author to override global discussion setting and set whether to allow reader to post comment on the article, or whether to allow link notification (aka pingback and trackback) from other blogs at single post or page level. The feature allows all new posts and pages to be created with comments and pings on, but can always be turned off on specific posts or pages when needed.
When come to time to housekeeping, WordPress does not provide an easy way to list or show all posts or paged articles that has its comments and pings off. For blog administrators who want to see a list blog posts and articles that have forbid readers and visitors to leave comments, and stop other blogs to pingback or trackback, use the following trick to list out all posts and pages that are currently set to comment and pingback/trackback off.
Log on to the MySQL database that powers the WordPress blog, and then use the following SQL query statement to get all posts or pages that either comment is not allowed, pings (trackback and ping back) is not allowed or both.
SELECT * FROM `wp_posts` where `comment_status` <> 'open' or `ping_status` <> 'open';
Tip: To make the selection from database easier, it's recommended to use phpMyAdmin or other GUI interface to MySQL DB.
The query above will return all row (both posts and pages in WordPress) that has either "Allow Comments" or "Allow Pings" set to off (untick). To return only articles where comments is not allowed, use only "comment_status", or "ping_status" for articles that do not allow pingback and trackback.
Both comment_status and ping_status fields have only two easily understand values – open and closed. Open means allow, which closed means disallowed. Once the result is displayed, the posts that have one or both of the criteria can be determined, and changed if required.

Biofuels are delivered by changing over natural issue into fuel for driving our general public. These biofuels are an elective vitality source to the petroleum products that we at present rely on. The biofuels umbrella incorporates under its aegis ethanol and subsidiaries of plants, for example, sugar stick, just as vegetable and corn oils. In any case, not all ethanol items are intended to be utilized as a sort of gas. The Universal Vitality Office (IEA) reveals to us that ethanol could involve up to 10 percent of the world's usable gas by 2025, and up to 30 percent by 2050. Today, the rate figure is two percent.
In any case, we have far to go to refine and make financial and commonsense these biofuels that we are inquiring about. An examination by Oregon State College demonstrates this. We still can't seem to create biofuels that are as vitality proficient as fuel produced using oil. Vitality productivity is the proportion of how much usable vitality for our required reasons for existing is gotten from a specific measure of information vitality. (Nothing that humankind has ever utilized has gotten more vitality from yield than from what the required info was. What has consistently been significant is the change—the final result vitality is what is valuable for our needs, while the info vitality is only the exertion it takes to create the finished result.) The OSU concentrate observed corn-determined ethanol to be just 20% vitality effective (gas produced using oil is 75% vitality proficient). Biodiesel fuel was recorded at 69% vitality productivity. In any case, the examination turned up one positive: cellulose-determined ethanol was outlined at 85% proficiency, which is considerably higher than that of the fabulously productive atomic vitality.
As of late, oil fates have been down on the New York Stock Trade, as investigators from a few unique nations are foreseeing a flood in biofuel accessibility which would balance the estimation of oil, dropping unrefined petroleum costs on the global market to $40 per barrel or something like that. The Chicago Stock Trade has a grain prospects showcase which is beginning to "take" speculation action away from the oil fates in NY, as speculators are unquestionably anticipating that better benefit should begin originating from biofuels. To be sure, it is anticipated by an accord of experts that biofuels will supply seven percent of the whole world's transportation powers constantly 2030. One certain vitality markets expert has stated, development sought after for diesel and gas may back off significantly, if the administration finances firms dispersing biofuels and further pushes to advance the utilization of eco-accommodating fuel.
There are a few countries which are genuinely engaged with the advancement of biofuels.
There is Brazil, which happens to be the world's greatest maker of ethanols got from sugars. It creates roughly three and a half billion gallons of ethanol for each year.
The US, while being the world's most prominent oil-guzzler, is as of now the second biggest maker of biofuels behind Brazil.
The European Association's biodiesel generation limit is currently more than 4,000,000 (English) tons. 80 percent of the EU's biodiesel fills are gotten from rapeseed oil; soybean oil and a minor amount of palm oil contain the other 20 percent.

What's your kissing quotient?
Recently I've had six dates with a guy, but only one passionate kiss — on the fifth date! Before that I got pecks hello and goodbye. I began to wonder if he thought of me as a pal — or worse, his sister! But he treated me and touched me in ways that said otherwise. I'd think, "This guy just doesn't like kissing," but before we even met he asked me if I liked to kiss and I said yes. So I don't think that's the problem.
Only one other guy took more dates — six — to passionately smooch. Other guys have locked lips too much and too soon — some within minutes of meeting me. So I've begun to wonder if each person has a kissing quotient. And you have to work it out with potential partners so both person's kissing needs are met.
There are several kissing quotient criteria:
- How soon — After first meeting someone, at what point do you feel it is appropriate to passionately kiss? This can vary widely depending on the person and the attraction you have to each other. However, do you have some general guidelines? Tyra Banks has said she never kisses on the first date, and if a guy tries to plant one on her lips, she turns her cheek. She wants him to really want to kiss her during the second date!
- Frequency — Some people like to kiss a lot — both pecks and passionately. Do you like a lot of kissing, some, or hardly any? Some people can interpret lots of kissing as lots of attraction. Others feel it shows neediness and clinginess — or horniness!
- Timing — Do you like kissing anywhere you feel drawn to your partner — on the street, in the movies, in a store, or do you prefer private necking — in the car and at home? Or do you like making out only in bed?
- Duration — Some folks like to kiss for hours. Others for only a few minutes. What's the length of time you're comfortable necking?
- Style — Some people have no kissing foreplay. No nibbles or suggestive busses. They just start full bore. If you like nibbles and he's a "full court press" guy, there's a mismatch. I've even tried to teach guys how I liked to be kissed, with not a lot of success.
Of course, all of this depends on how much you enjoy canoodling with the other person. If you don't consider him a good kisser, you're probably not going to extend your lip-locking activities.
Hmmm. Maybe my beau du jour doesn't like my kisses! Or maybe he is afraid they will make him get weak knees and he'll lose his decorum!

When to be passionately kissing? My memory shows that for me it varies tremendously from different relationships. Although I think the perception is that the male initiates the kiss – I believe it is with many men to be otherwise. Some of us depend on the signals – and that when a woman you are getting to know feels it is appropriate – she will indicate such.
Other men try on their schedule – hence the unpredictability of it all.
If your date was holding off – he might be looking for that feedback in stages or might be getting signals of "wanting to keep things at a distance still". It is a two person dance.
January 12, 2007 at 1:12 pm
For me it is all about chemistry… If there is one on first date, I will kiss him. And if there is just a tad of chemistry, I might hold it off till the subsequent date. By chemistry I meant the first initial connection, it can be just physical, or how we get along and how the conversation flows. And as far as the other quotient, if I am very very attracted to him, I will kiss him all the time, anywhere anytime.
January 13, 2007 at 10:58 am
Your last comment is why I tend to be verrrrry conservative about kissing, Janet. It's highly sexually charged for me, so if I start I want to make sure that I'm in a situation where I don't want to stop!
January 13, 2007 at 11:17 am
Kissing is critical for me. Oddly, I was with a man for 14 years, married for 9 who didn't really like to kiss. After about 9 years I gave up on kissing, and chalked it up as one of the compromises necessary. Now that I'm single again, the Gods have rewarded me, and the first 2 guys I've dated more than a few times are EXCELLENT kissers, and LOVE to kiss. Kissing to them is at least as important as it is to me, and not just a necessary step to arouse and bed women.
So, in answer to your questions, don't like to kiss on the first date even if a lot of chemistry. First dates are for hugs to check out their closeness quotient and their body. Since kissing is a very intimate and special act for me, I prefer to wait 'til maybe the 4th date or later to really kiss passionately. Frequency – much of the time is nice. Timing – kissing spattered throughout the date is very best, especially if you pull away before you're ready to to build the anticipation. Love to kiss everywhere, tho' would reserve the really passionate kisses for less public places. Duration – I've found I have a very high tolerance for kissing – an hour or two is nice with a guy who really enjoys it too. Since I had 14 years to make up for, my first few weeks of kissing again included many many many hours of it. I've almost caught up! Style – I convinced myself during my marriage that men don't really like to kiss, just use it as a tool to get to sex. But clearly that was a fallacious rationalization. Thank God!!!

An article in the Washington Examiner by Emily Jashinsky looks at reforms being considered by the administration that will affect K-12 and higher ed. Titled "Betsy DeVos Looks to Curb Federal 'Overreach' in Education," the article begins
The Department of Education has its sights set on regulatory reform in 2018. Led by Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, who often speaks out against what she calls a "one-size-fits-all" approach to education, the department is focused on reviewing rules and requirements issued by previous administrations, seeking to curb what she says is federal overreach.
This effort will include continued review of Title IX guidelines to colleges and universities on the handling of sexual assault cases. The previous guidelines, which have given rise to concerns for the due process rights of the accused, were rescinded in September.
The … department's broader goal [is] "reducing overreach the department has engaged in in the past," in an effort to "[free] up educators and administrators and institutions to actually serve students rather than be more worried about compliance."
Indeed, teachers and administrators currently expend a great deal of time and energy on data collection and paperwork related to regulatory compliance, and this is a factor affecting morale at schools.
The article continues
On the K-12 level, a possible two-year delay of the "significant disproportionality" rule will likely be opened up for comment as well. The rule is a requirement that states note "when districts … discipline children from any racial or ethnic group at markedly higher rates than their peers."
With disciplinary reforms already being of great current interest, critical examination of this rule might light the way toward better solutions overall.
Other possible changes include a school choice program ("vouchers"), and expansion of 529 savings plans to include K-12 expenses.

Everyone wants a quick way to lose weight. There are tons of infomercials on pricey exercise programs, diet plans and fat-fighting pills… but wouldn't it be great if there was a fast way to lose weight with something you already had just lying around the house?
According to a new-age diet craze, the ticket to weight loss and all-around better living could lie within a box of baking soda.
It sounds crazy… But there's quite an interesting theory behind it. So let's examine how to lose weight with baking soda – and if it's even possible.
The Fat Diminisher System is the complete game changer for men and women when it comes to losing weight – Find out more about this revolutionary product HERE
Background: The Alkaline Diet
First, let's look at where the idea of consuming baking soda for weight loss comes from. Chances are, this method stems from the Alkaline Diet. The theory behind this diet is that foods like meat, wheat, sugar and all processed foods lead to an increased acid production in the body.
When there is too much acid in the body, this creates a pH imbalance in the blood which Alkaline dieters believe may cause weight gain and other serious health problems.
Alkaline is the opposite of acidic. So eating specific foods that make your body more alkaline are thought to create stability in the body, which may lead to weight loss and all-around improved wellness.
Alkaline-promoting foods include most fruits and vegetables, soybeans, seeds, tofu and certain varieties of nuts. On the other hand, foods like dairy, eggs, canned/packaged snacks and other convenience goods are extremely restricted because they are acidic.
Baking Soda for Weight Loss
So where does baking soda come into play in all of this? Baking soda is actually a chemical compound known as sodium bicarbonate. It helps regulate pH and maintain neutrality – a process called buffering.
Sodium bicarbonate acts as an antacid, keeping different substances from becoming too acidic or too alkaline. Its ability to neutralize the pH of nearly anything it interacts with makes baking soda a very versatile, valuable substance. Its used for cleaning, cooking, polishing metal, melting ice and – according to the Alkaline diet – losing weight.
Some people take the Alkaline diet one step further and consume baking soda in order to improve their pH balance and lose weight. But of course… Whether or not baking soda works for weight loss depends on the validity of the Alkaline diet.
Does the Alkaline Diet Actually Work?
There isn't enough evidence to support the hypothesis that eating alkaline foods to maintain an optimal body pH does any good. Under normal circumstance, the human body actually does this pretty well on its own.
The American Institute for Cancer Research called the idea of a diet's ability to significantly alter the acidity of the blood a "myth" and stated that goes against "everything we know about the chemistry of the human body."
There is also no evidence that the Alkaline diet has been proven to result in weight loss either. The key to losing weight isn't balancing your pH levels, eating baking soda or any other single food; it's eating a balanced, reduced calorie diet and exercising regularly.
Not only is the Alkaline diet ineffective, it may have adverse effects on your body. Since the diet consists of excluding certain food groups, it could lead to a severely unbalanced diet, resulting in nutrient deficiencies. In fact, that's the reason that most Alkaline diet websites and books sell additional supplements and foods to use in tandem with the diet: to ensure nourishment.
If you need to invest this much time, money and effort into staying healthy following a depravity diet, it should be a tell-tale sign that it's simply not worth the risks.
Proven Benefits of Baking Soda
While consuming baking soda to balance your pH level might not directly help you lose weight, it's not totally worthless. Here are three proven health benefits of baking soda:
1) Improves Athletic Performance
Baking soda actually makes a decent pre-workout supplement. When consumed before exercise, sodium bicarbonate helps to buffer the lactic acid that tends to builds up in muscles. This helps to delay muscle pain and fatigue, enhancing athletic performance and longevity.
2) Aids in Heartburn And Indigestion
If you struggle with heartburn, then you probably take Alka-Seltzer, Rolaids, Tums or some other over-the-counter antacid for relief. Most of these actually contain sodium bicarbonate as the active ingredient.
For a more cost-effective way to relieve painful indigestion, mix half a teaspoon of baking soda into a glass of water and drink it about one hour after your meal. This will help neutralize the acid in anything you ate and calm your stomach.
3) Soothes Sore Feet
Heal up after a hard workout. Just stir three tablespoons of baking soda into a warm tub of water to make a rejuvenating foot soak. For some intense exfoliation, scrub the soles of your feet with baking soda paste. You can make your own paste from a mix of three parts baking soda, combined with one part water.
This will help gently remove any calluses, blisters or other sores so you can get back on your feet – and back in the gym tomorrow.
How Does Baking Soda Help You Lose Weight?
The idea that you can lose weight with baking soda has roots in the Alkaline Diet. According to this diet plan, you can improve your pH levels and restore balance to your body by eating less acidic foods and more alkaline-promoting stuff instead.
When your body is in a neutral state, it's thought to have a stronger ability to fight disease and promote fat loss. Since baking soda helps neutralize acid, some Alkaline dieters consume it on a daily basis to help improve their pH levels.
However, there is really nothing to suggest that the Alkaline diet is legitimate. Health experts have historically dismissed it, stating that the human body works to balance its own pH naturally. Some doctors have even gone a step further to state that the Alkaline diet is dangerous because it encourages so much deprivation of different types of foods.
But even though the Alkaline diet might not work at all… Baking soda still provides a few proven health perks. It can improve athletic performance, relieve indigestion and even make for a relaxing foot soak.
Want to know how to lose weight with baking soda? Your best bet is to incorporate baking soda into your diet as a pre-workout supplement. This will help your muscles from getting fatigued as fast so you can work out longer, better and burn more calories.

IPG's Aquamaster geomembranes offer a dynamic solution to many of the water issues facing the continent of Africa. From the arid and drought prone eastern regions, (Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, Tanzania, Malawi Zimbabwe) to the mineral and forest rich western, and central regions. IPG's Aquamaster provides safe and reliable solutions for water containment, conventional and non-conventional oil and gas extraction, and also water transport.
Water containment: by helping to conserve water loss from source to destination their Aquamaster geomembranes eliminate ground water loss through seepage, while simultaneously helping to conserve our most precious resource at a fraction of the cost of concrete, and without the contamination that other methods of containment would bring.
Their Aquamaster Geomembranes are contaminate free, and NSF Certified to ANSI 61 which means their geomembranes can safely hold and transport drinking water. By lining farm reservoirs and civic canals with Aquamaster Geomembranes this can help emerging markets in Africa better manage water resources, so when the dry season arrives there is more water available without having to tap into underground reservoirs.
According to IPG's marketing manager Raphael Bennett their products can be used in the African continent and they are currently in search of distributors that can to help get their great products into the bidding/construction process.
Raphael also added that their products are 100% recyclable where facilities exist. They are a company that helps save and protect water resources for municipalities such as irrigation districts and farming water reservoirs. Aquamaster geomembranes also help maintain road stability by not allowing water to seep into the gravel underneath which can destabilize the soil under the road while being puncture resistant so that rocks and other debris cannot penetrate the fabric. Whenever something needs protection or containment, Aquamaster Geomembranes are the best of class.
In the regions where mining, oil and gas exploration and extraction are happening Aquamaster geomembranes are the solution to keeping contaminants out of the environment. Chemical runoff, and seepage into the ground water table can cause havoc in developed economies, so in emerging markets like the Nigerian Delta ground water contamination can render an entire swath of rainforest uninhabitable.
Their Aquamaster products are used in Hydraulic Fracturing above ground tank liners, temporary waste covers, and wastewater containment. With extremely high puncture resistance, wider manufacturing widths, and engineered coatings to increase UV resistance, their Aquamaster products can contain most chemicals without fear of puncture or seepage.

What is an IP Camera System?
Closed circuit television (CCTV) systems have long been in place at businesses and homes across the UK, protecting premises by acting both as a visible deterrent and as a tool for police in apprehending criminals.
CCTV systems obviously has their advantages, but they also have limitations. From the inflexible storage and monitoring of the footage, to the complex installation process, CCTV can present a number of issues.
Luckily, technology has developed to work around this, with the last decade or so seeing the rise of IP camera systems that offer a range of benefits over traditional analogue CCTV.
What is an IP System?
An Internet protocol (IP) system is a digital version of a CCTV system. It uses an Ethernet link to rapidly transfer images and audio as data, allowing for remote monitoring of many separate areas from one central spot.
IP cameras can be more favourable than analogue CCTV units for a number of reasons.
- The installation of IP systems is a straightforward process, as cameras can easily be added to an existing network, either wirelessly or wired. With analogue CCTV units however, each camera must be individually routed back to the monitoring system as well as sufficient room being made for respective power and network cables.
- Flexibility is also greatly increased with an IP system. The nature of the technology means that no local monitoring or recording is required; the data can be transmitted across the internet or a local network to a centralised point.
- As IP cameras can interact with other digitised security equipment on the circuit, such as access control or phone systems, increasing the connectivity and convenience of the network.
- Because they convert digital imagery to data, IP camera resolution is limited only by bandwidth. When compared to analogue CCTV systems, which have a maximum resolution of 414,720 pixels, the benefits are obvious. Not only does this allow for greater enhancement of an image without loss of quality, it also means that cameras can be placed further away from the area they are monitoring, giving a wider angle that can be zoomed in and out of at ease.
- Cost-efficiency is another plus point for IP over analogue systems. As monitoring can be done from an existing computer with an internet connection, specialised DVR or other CCTV screens are not required to be purchased. Similarly, if the network needs to grow in the future, an IP camera can simply be added into the system, whereas an analogue camera requires a complex installation of cabling.
AAI Security Systems
Here at AAI Security, we stock a wide range of CCTV systems for use in all commercial and domestic environments. Depending on your needs, we can supply and install both analogue and IP cameras – one of our experts will be happy to discuss your needs with you before suggesting the most suitable CCTV solution.

At Salon Apple, we are driven by the passion to make people not just look good but feel great too. From our staff to our services and ambience, everything we offer is focused on giving the best salon experience and to bring a smile on our customer's face. But being in the beauty industry for this long, we believe we have a bigger responsibility towards the society. We wish to reach every individual and help them feel great and love themselves in every possible way we can. And we strongly believe, by taking up one initiative at a time, we'll be able to achieve this.
One such step to reinforce our goal is our "Hair Today. Hope Tomorrow." initiative. This is an endeavour taken up by us in association with Prashanti Cancer Care Mission in the year 2018, and is especially thought through for the people battling the insecurities of cancer side-effects.
Every day, around 2,000 women are diagnosed with cancer. For those suffering from cancer, sometimes hope seems like a distant dream. Not only do they have to deal with fighting back against the deadly disease, but also cope up with the devastating side-effects of the treatment like hair loss. During this difficult time, even a small coping tool like a wig is a huge confidence booster when hair loss occurs during treatment. This lead to the beginning of our campaign "Hair Today. Hope Tomorrow."
In association with Prashanti Cancer Care Mission, we help the cancer patients cope up with this stress by giving them wigs free of cost made from the hair donated at our salons. So far, this initiative has received a tremendous response where people, of all age spectrums, have donated their long luscious hair for this cause. We also took this opportunity to pamper the cancer patients by giving them free salon services like a foot massage, head massage and other relaxation services.
We believe we still have a long way to go, and thus need every bit of help you've got to offer. If you're interested in donating your hair or know a friend who is willing to do so, just visit any of your nearest Salon Apple today!
For many female patients undergoing Cancer treatment, hair loss can be an absolutely devastating experience in an already challenging time. But now you can help by donating your hair to make a wig for these patients!
Please note that a minimum 16 inches of hair is required to be cut for the donation. Donated hair will be crafted into wigs which will be given to cancer patients free of cost by Salon Apple, in association with the Prashanti Cancer Care Mission.
