For regular marijuana consumers, it can take 30 days and sometimes even longer to get clean. Even people who smoke weed only once have a waiting period of roughly 5 to 8 days before they can give a THC-free urine sample. Using fake, or synthetic urine to pass a drug test is quickly becoming the most popular and, seemingly, most efficient way of passing a drug test. More and more people around the country are purchasing synthetic urine and slipping it into specimen cups in an attempt to "beat" drug tests required by their current employer, a prospective employer, or even their school.
What is synthetic urine?
Friedrich Wohler of Germany, a chemist, back in the 19th Century, was trying to create ammonium cyanate in his laboratory, when his concoction passed as urine after a few tests. Many laboratories use synthetic urine to calibrate and test their equipment. This fake pee is designed to look, smell and act like real urine. It foams when you shake it, the color is slightly yellow and it smells like urea. The chemical properties of synthetic urine are comparable to urine with a human origin. The pH levels are within the normal range, creatinine and urea are part of the chemical makeup just like real urine. Your actual urine is made up of certain components and mimicking these is what synthetic urine is all about.
Fake urine covers these bases:
- 95% of the liquid is water
- 5% is made up of creatinine and urea
Other substances that are added:
- phosphates
- ammonia
- sulphates
- chlorides
You will find that the different manufacturers will have their own unique formula and recipe. So, no synthetic urine available on the market will have exactly the same makeup. Some of the kits come in a powder form that you must mix and heat with an external heating source. A thermometer will come with these kits to ensure that you heat the urine to the correct body temperature range. Other tests come pre-mixed and with a type of heating powder that you mix into the liquid to raise the temperature.
Can I legally buy fake pee?
In most states, the sale of synthetic urine is legal.
So Synthetic Pee is fail proof?
Many people swear by using synthetic urine to pass a drug test, but as laboratories are gaining more knowledge and insight into the process of how synthetic urine is made, they have come up with ways to test whether or not the urine that you supply is human in origin. Even the most reliable fake pee products are extremely risky. If the deceiver doesn't properly mix the product, heat it, hide it, and transport it, the ruse may be revealed, and the culprit could be fired or fined.
Temperature is often the tell-tale characteristic of synthetic urine. The biggest mistake that people make is using fake urine at an incorrect temperature. If a specimen falls outside of the range 90–100 degrees Fahrenheit, it is clearly a fake. Human urine leaves your body between 94 to 96 degrees Fahrenheit. And drug test samples are tested for the temperature within a few minutes of you handing it over. You may think giving a room temperature sample will be sufficient, but it's a dead giveaway that you're trying to scam the system.
Other revealing characteristics include the following:
- Presence of creatinine, a substance produced by the kidneys (some fake pee does contain creatinine)
- Lack of bubbles when shaken (the protein in urine bubbles when agitated)
- pH level
- Specific gravity (measuring amount of particulates in the fluid)
- Scent
- Even a tiny mistake by the product manufacturer or the donor can result in the specimen being flagged, placing the donor's future in jeopardy.
How do labs test for drugs in your urine?
The labs first put your urine through a test called EMIT, which stands for Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay Technique. This tests for any drugs and high levels of protein. They test the color of the urine, to make sure it is the required color that urine needs to be.
They look for the following:
- the pH level is between 4,5 and 8
- the gravity level is between 1.005 and 1.030 – this measures the density of the urine as well as concentrate of solutes within
- the creatinine levels are above 15 mg
- that there isn't Glutaraldehyde present in the urine, as this is an obvious mix from synthetic urines
- that there isn't Nitrate present for same reasons as above point
- that there isn't increased volumes of urea present, which indicates that it is fake urine
- color and odor is measured against set parameters
- temperature, if taken quick enough to test can also be factored in to see whether the urine is real or not
How to Properly Use Synthetic Pee?
First off, you have to choose a high-quality unisex product – a synthetic urine product that works for both men and women. Once you have chosen a good synthetic urine brand, then you can begin planning on how to get it inside the facility where your drug test will take place. You will need a container or bag that is not too bulky to store your synthetic urine in. This part gets A LOT more complicated when it comes to supervised drug tests because you will flat out fail if you don't step it up. This is why we recommend using the Monkey Dong or Monkey Whizz because it looks just like the real thing. You might also want to consider getting a thermometer strip, so you know the exact temperature of what you're going to hand over. Wear tight underwear or leggings to hold your piss container against your body. This way it will stay warm longer, and won't fall out of the bottom of your pants because that would be bad.
- Microwave your fake piss for about 15 seconds, or until it reaches 110 degrees. If you heat it up to the ideal temperature, it will only cool down.
- Pour the fake piss into your flask.
- Double check the temperature on the thermometer strip. If it matches, you're all set to go.
- Place the body flask in your underwear. If it's irritating or directly rubbing against your skin, tie it over your underwear or wear leggings between your underwear and pants so that it stays in place.
- In the bathroom, read the temperature on your flask. If it is below 94 degrees, activate the heating pad and apply it to the flask until it reaches the proper temperature of 94-96 degrees.
- Shake the flask to create bubbles in the fake urine before pouring it into the sample cup.
So, there you have it.. If you follow these suggestions, you'll be well on your way to successfully pass a drug test.

Below Deck's Rhylee Gerber Flaunted Her Bare Booty ... in the Snow!
The Below Deck yachtie steamed up a frigid climate with these daring pics.
As an Alaska native, Rhylee Gerber is pretty used to cold climates. But the Below Deck deckhand just proved that she's not only comfortable with frigid temps — she embraces it fearlessly! Think Frozen's Elsa, but in a bikini ... and on a paddleboard. You'll see what we mean! Keep scrolling to see some cold-weather snaps that will have you shivering vicariously.
On a recent trip to Alberta, Canada, Rhylee embraced a bold philosophy that she wrote up in an Instagram caption. "A lady should never do what everyone expects," she wrote. Flashing her bare booty from atop a paddleboard that was stationed in the show, the yachtie wore bright orange bikini bottoms, a thin tank top, and not much else. Take a look if you dare!
This isn't the first time Rhylee has bravely — or should we say barely — braved the elements. Back in May, she stood on a snow-covered mountaintop topless.
We're not sure if it's possible to make snow blush, but Rhylee might have come close.

I have a couple of ideas too and after setting up my dev environment to start and so the question came to me that what if nobody gives a damn about my game because nobody plays browser texts games anymore. Or is there something I'm not seeing maybe some statistics I'm missing. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Australia's Commercial Cleaning Industry, Please Take a Bow
When you're caught up in the day-to-day challenges of running a commercial cleaning business, it's easy to lose sight of what an important contribution the industry makes to the economy, employees, their families and Australians in general.
This was highlighted in the 2018-19 report on the industry by the research publisher IBIS World. It just goes to prove what a wonderfully positive contribution all of us involved in and around the commercial cleaning industry are making. We should be proud.
Here is just a quick look at some of the report's important insights on where we are now and where we're headed as an industry, and some statistics that you might find startling.
Growing from strength to strength
To borrow a well-worn pun, the commercial cleaning industry in Australia has really been cleaning up over the last five years, and the trend looks set to continue. Industry revenue is expected to grow at an annualised 5% over the five years to 2018-19 to a total of $12 billion for the current year, with growth of 3.3% is expected for the year. Yes, this figure is down on previous years, but still a figure that would be the envy of many industries.
Contributing to the nation and families
When you read a report like this, it really brings home what a valuable contribution we as an industry make to the nation, individuals and families.
We've already mentioned revenue. But consider this; there are 29,517 businesses operating in the industry that employ a whopping 159,213 employees, and pay more than $4.6 billion in wages. That's a lot of jobs, and a lot of people who rely on and benefit from that income.
Outsourcing trends driving demand
One of the standout findings in the report was that the trend towards outsourced cleaning services has proved a boon for the industry. Part of this is the long-term trend for businesses looking for efficiencies by outsourcing services that aren't a part of their core business.
To add to that is a growing trend for busy families and ageing households to outsource cleaning services. What's more, many in-home aged-care programs are now offering cleaning services, particularly for disabled clients. It's important for us to continue to monitor these trends as an industry, and put ourselves in a position to capitalise on them.
Re-imagining our services and how we provide them
In addition to the outsourcing trends we're noticing, this report also shows that traditional cleaning companies are re-imagining the services they provide and how they provide them. It's this kind of thinking that's going to help drive our industry forward in the future.
One interesting development has been the increasing demand by industry clients for multi-service contract agreements that incorporate once separate services, such cleaning, catering, security and maintenance in the one package.
Some of our larger firms have jumped on this opportunity, and have expanded their scope of services to meet this demand. Recent strategic moves by the industry's two largest players, Downer EDI Limited and ISS Facility Services, are great examples of this adaption. Downer EDI's recent acquisition of Spotless Group, for one.
A look into the crystal ball
Sure, not everything in the industry is beer and skittles. Like any industry, we face our own particular challenges and peccadillos. High staff turnover due to non-standard working hours and low pay, and increasing internal competition are still issues we're facing. But we're certainly not throwing up our hands. At the BSCAA, for example, we're actively working with many industry stakeholders to fix these issues, and the changes are happening.
The good news is that the industry is growing and looks set to continue growing. In fact, the IBIS World report predicts revenue to grow at 3.2% annually over the five years through to 2023-24 to $14.1 billion annually. Okay, it's lower than the previous five years, but it's still a growth rate that would please many industries.
All in all, it's important to reflect on what our industry adds to the Australia economy and the services we provide to Australians in general. And for that, I'd like the commercial cleaning industry to please stand up and take a bow.

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May18, 2019 – The United Arab Emirates has welcomed the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud's call to the leaders of the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) and other Arab League states for two emergency summits in Makkah on May 30th, on the critical circumstances the region is going through and their consequences on regional peace and stability.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, in a statement, said the call is reflective of the Saudi Leadership's continued determination to establish peace and security in the region.
The statement underline, in this respect, the leading role played by King Salman in ,,unifying Arab ranks and coordinating Arab stances".
"The current critical circumstances entail a unified Arab and Gulf stance towards the besetting challenges and risk", said the statement, characterizing the call of King Salman as a "significant opportunity for the countries of the region to achieve their aspirations for establishing and stability and ensuring our joint security, sovereignty and achievemements."

The Dallas Mavericks have placed at least one call to the Charlotte Hornets.
With the NBA trade deadline a little over two weeks away, the Mavs have inquired about Hornets point guard Kemba Walker.
The news was first reported by The Athletic's Shams Charania.
"In recent weeks, the Dallas Mavericks had interest in Walker and inquired on him, but the Hornets stated they were keeping Walker and wanted him to remain a Hornet," Charania wrote.
Hornets owner Michael Jordan is reluctant to trade the best player on his team and has stated numerous times that he wants Walker to stay in the Queen City. Yet, that hasn't stopped clubs from making inquiries.
The seventh-year point guard is in the last year of his team friendly four-year, $48 million deal. Walker's contract is one of the biggest bargains in all of the NBA based on his all-star level performance on the court.
Walker is a two-time all-star and is destined to receive another invite to this year's game in Charlotte. The Connecticut product is averaging 25 points, 5.6 assists and 4.3 rebounds this season.
Referencing Isaiah Thomas, Walker will probably want his next contract to require the team to "bring the Brinks truck" to his residence.
A Walker trade makes sense for a Mavericks team that is still reportedly shopping Dennis Smith Jr. Smith is back playing with the team, but a trade is not off the table.
Reports are circulating that the Dallas Mavericks are interested in a Kemba Walker trade ... does this intrigue you? #MFFL— SportsDay Mavs (@dmn_mavericks) January 23, 2019

This sort of system maintains a record with the business transactions associated with cash disbursement, cash receipt, purchases and sales. This type of method is far more of an informal system appropriate for little business transactions. The bookkeeper will generally use this system to sustain a day-to-day summary on the money receipts and money payments and also a monthly summary in the money receipts and payments. Inside a single entry book keeping process, every single transaction will have an effect on only one account. In the case of a double entry transaction, every single transaction would have an entry on both the accounts.
If there is a sale of a specific item, the money receipt or money deposit account only be updated with the amount received. The corresponding entry inside a sales account will not be created in single entry bookkeeping technique.
Hence it doesn't deliver the comprehensive economic standing of the several systems within the business. If you'd like a detailed accounting in the distinct systems involved in business transactions, you could go for a double entry system.
Double entry bookkeeping method. That is the type of system that is certainly most frequently applied by the bookkeeper or an accountant in any business organization. This program is employed by the bookkeeper to keep total accounting information from the business transactions. This method also introduces the concept of debit and credit. As there are plenty of accounting systems inside a business, a debit entry in on the list of accounting program will normally be accompanied by a credit entry in a different accounting program or in more than 1 accounting method. Similarly, a bookkeeper could be required to make greater than one particular debit entry for a single credit entry. The economic efficiency of a enterprise may be clearly ascertained primarily based on the accounting particulars obtained from the double entry accounting systems.
Fundamentally, you'll find two methods of book maintaining. One particular is the manual approach of bookkeeping plus the other could be the computerised approach of bookkeeping.
Manual bookkeeping may be the oldest form of bookkeeping where within the bookkeeper will likely be employing a journal book or perhaps a ledger book to record the distinctive accounting entries related to the business transactions. Compact business owners nevertheless choose manual method of bookkeeping because it is economical and is suitable for sustaining significantly less complex business transactions.
Computerised bookkeeping helps the bookkeeper to perform bookkeeping of complicated business transactions in a a great deal less difficult and more quickly manner. An accounting application technique is generally made use of to do the accounting entries. The advantage this technique has over the manual bookkeeping system is inside the ease of creating reports and performing calculations. Complicated calculations could be performed accurately and swiftly.

BleachBit is a free and open source alternative to CCleaner. The program original was designed for Linux back in 2008 and is written in Python, it got later with v0.5.0 a second life with the announcement that it supports Windows XP. The program was improved over the years and new features were added, like support for a command-line interface or a an option to compress Firefox database.
The program in his current forms works for Linux the same way like on Windows, it offers a bunch of functions in order to delete files, folders and program leftovers. The interface is minimalistic and you need to check what you like to clean, by default every program which you see on the left side is unchecked.
The overall goal of the program is to clean remove private information relevant files and the second main function is to remove temporarily or junk files. The program is translated in over 61 languages. Prominent users include Bruce Schneier and Hillary Clinton's team.
The first time you start the program it tries to communicate with the Internet to the following URL
https://update.bleachbit.org/update/2.0 (over HTTPS) in order to check for program updates. You can disable this (if you like) in the options menu.
The developer of BleachBit created a video that visualizes the development of the program from its humble beginnings in 2008 to 2018, you can find more videos from the developer and the program history over here.
The BleachBit project has it's own shop were you can buy an autograph or a special 'BlackBerry' Edition. It also lists an donation option in order to support the developers.
- It supports all Linux systems and all Windows versions from XP up to Windows 10. MacOS support is somewhat limited, see here why.
- The program can be used/downloaded in a portable package, so you don't have to install the program.
- The program shred your files and wiping unallocated disk space to minimize data remanence
- BleachBit also has an option menu with 'advance settings' in order to e.g. whitelist specific files or folders
- A command line interface which allows you to automate some cleaning processes
- CleanerML allows you to write your own cleaning rules.
You can directly get access to the downloads of the setup or portable versions over the official website. There are also unstable (nightly) builds available here, keep in mind that these builds are beta which mean they might contain more bugs compared to the final versions.
Using the program
BleachBit works similar like CCleaner, you select the things it should clean, like temporarily files, old database backups or saved passwords. In case something important gets wiped you see an approval Window which warns you if you rally like to clean it.
BleachBit detects which software you have installed based on it's integrated database, if one of your programs are detected by it's database and installed on your OS it shows you options to clean it's integrated temporarily files. You can improve the database with more entires by downloading the Winapp.ini (for Windows) and place it into the same location as the BleachBit executable. This offers more database entries which are then been checked and if a match appears also displayed in BleachBit.
BleachBit itself requests administrative privileges in order to get access to the files it like to clean, this is done because several files or folders are might be protected and need higher rights in order to delete it's content.
The preferences menu brings you to some more options the program has to offer. You can set your custom cleaning paths or folders you like to clean (Blacklist) and you also can exclude some folders or files (Whitelist).
In case the program crashes
If there any crashes then you see a Window which shows you that a log file was created, you can use this logfile to show what was causing the crash or to submit it to the developers so that they might can take a look at it and fix the program.
The program includes a BleachBit.ini file which allows you to manually edit the program settings, this is useful if you're on a portable version or not like to manually re-configure the program and it's given options or black-/whitelists every time you re-install or unpack it.
Differences BleachBit and CCleaner
CCleaner is the all-in-one solution, it has more options like a Registry Cleaner, a Cookie auto-cleaning option and a better user interface (matter of taste of course). However, BleachBit does exactly what it promises and that it doesn't have other features like a missing Registry Cleaning function is not a bad thing, I think it's a plus because you simply won't need it.
The missing monitoring option is also not a big deal, you simply can work with command line interface (bleachbit_console.exe) in order to get the ability to clean the junk via a script and a scheduled task. It's not as comfortable as CCleaner because it doesn't have an integrated option for it but it's still possible. An example how you do it is given here. The official forum also is a good start in case you need help or to get example scripts.
Closing Words
BleachBit is a real alternative to CCleaner, that some functions are 'missing' is pretty much okay in my eyes – I'm not a fan of registry cleaning and it's not needed. The little program is underrated and deserves more support, what I don't like is the GUI which looks awful and has room for improvements, it could get some Icons to quickly identify the specific cleaning sections and the explanation what it clean is here and there incomplete.
The real criticism point I have is only that the command line interface should be integrated into the main program, so you have one executable for everything and beginners might find it easier to automatically clean cookies after they restarted their system. I think this could really be improved and it would be a win-win situations for experts the same like for beginners, the usability is in my opinion always an important point in ever program and not something BleachBit exclusive.
The program gets my full recommendation, when it comes to it's cleaning functions. It does exactly the same as other programs and you can work with it straight from the beginning. The Winapp2.ini function 'pimps' the integrated database (the same way like with CCleaner) and allows you to clean additional leftovers.

DIRECTOR: ItsImaniB
Big Kaino returns with his second visual to "On Me". Following up on his initial hit song, "ASSHOLE". After getting his first deal offer in 2018, with this visual plus more coming soon, he's applying pressure to put the world on high-alert of what's to come and the new sound he's bringing to the game.
In a recent interview he refers to it as "Fun-Bully Music" but it is reminiscent of a sub-version of Trap-Metal & Chicago Drill music combined, in my opinion. This high-energy single gives a deeper look into the underground Florida artist, telling us who Big Kaino is. In this song he is proclaiming that he is going to make it because he put the pressure of doing so on himself. With this high-energy, horse-powered video, it is clear to say he's is activated.
Check out the latest Big Kaino visual, edited & directed by ItsImaniB, below.

Dedicated to advocating personal and property interests throughout the state of Florida
Our staff is always ready to help you.
Call today for a free consultation.
Most businesses in Florida are required by law to have workers' compensation insurance. This ensures that injured workers will be able to get benefits that cover their medical expenses and lost wages.
Workers' compensation benefits are not automatic though. People frequently have claims denied or minimized by insurance companies or employers claiming that the injuries are not as severe as the workers claim or injuries occurred outside the workplace.
It is important to understand that workers' compensation is not always the only avenue for compensation for workplace injury victims. In certain cases, a third party—or possibly even the employer—can be liable for a worker's injuries.
Did you suffer an injury or was your loved one killed on the job in Florida? Germain Law Group represents clients in communities throughout Hillsborough County, Brevard County, Manatee County, Pasco County, and Pinellas County.
Tampa personal injury attorney Michael B. Germain has been recognized as a Florida SuperLawyer for his work fighting insurance companies. Call (813) 835-8888 right now to have him review your case during a free initial consultation.
Many people believe that worker's compensation is the only form of compensation available to them following a workplace injury. Several exceptions exist though for cases in which an injured worker may be able to sue for additional damages.
A few examples of possible situations in which injured workers may be able to file lawsuits include:
Some injuries sustained on the job are relatively minor and only cause employees to miss a few days of work. Many other injuries are much more serious and keep workers off the job for several months.
The nature of injuries varies in severity depending on the type of the accident. Some of the most common types of injuries people suffer on the job include, but are not limited to:
Certain employees work in dangerous settings. Many others believe there are very few physical risks to their jobs.
Workplace accidents can occur at any time in any job setting for a variety of reasons. Common causes of these accidents include, but are not limited to:
Division of Workers' Compensation — This division of the Florida Department of Financial Services oversees the state's workers' compensation system. On this website, you can find databases, reports, and answers to frequently asked questions. You can also find information about benefits, reemployment services, and how to report an illness or injury.
Injuries, Illnesses, and Fatalities – Bureau of Labor Statistics — The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics is the principal fact-finding agency for the federal government in the field of labor economics and statistics. On this website, you can find databases, statistics, and publications about work-related injuries, illnesses, and fatal injuries. You can also find news releases, definitions, and special notices.
If you sustained an injury or your loved one was killed on the job in Florida, time is of the essence and you should immediately seek legal counsel. Germain Law Group has more than a decade of experience dealing with insurance companies who seek to minimize or deny the claims of accident victims.

Germain is a Tampa personal injury lawyer who fights for clients all over Hillsborough County, Charlotte County, Sarasota County, St. Lucie County, Indian River County, and surrounding areas.

The Fourth Chinese Star Contest for Overseas Students from Colleges and Universities in Beijing Solemnly Held
Two students from our school won the mass selection contest held on April 14. A German student Deanna from Chinese Center won the favors of the judges by a Chinese song A New Drunken Beauty and her fluency in the Chinese speech which ensured her entering the preliminary contest with 120 competitors successfully. She gave a song in the preliminary contest held on May 5, and performed perfectly in the session of storytelling by drawing lots, and she ranked the top 60 which ensured her qualification for the semi-final. It was held in Lecture Hall of International School in North Campus of Capital Normal University on May 27. Both leaders and teachers from Chinese Center gave their care and guidance to the contestants from the mass selection contest to the finals.
The semi-final was divided to two parts including the video display and the response in Chinese. Deanna displayed her life in Beijing University of Post and Telecommunication as well as her aim to the judges and her peers through the video. Her vigor displayed in the playground, her diligence, her innovation and practice, all attracted the eyes of the spectators.
Chinese Star Contest is the platform for overseas students from colleges and universities in Beijing to communicate and interact. The International Division and Chinese Training Center organize students to participate the contest each year.

Dr. Dylan Wiliam Reveals Key Assessment Practices for Improving Student Education
/EIN News/ -- Bloomington, IN, Nov. 01, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research indicates that attention to classroom assessment processes can substantially increase the rate of student learning—in some cases effectively doubling its speed. In the second edition of his best-selling Embedded Formative Assessment, published by Solution Tree, author Dylan Wiliam presents new insights, examples and formative assessment techniques that teachers can immediately apply in their classrooms.
"The key features of effective learning environments are that they create student engagement and allow teachers, learners and their peers to ensure that the learning is proceeding in the intended direction," explained Wiliam. "The only way we can do this is through assessment."
This second edition of Embedded Formative Assessment has the following additions and revisions:
- Over 30% new content, research and formative assessment techniques for teachers to apply in their classrooms.
- Updated and revised data and research that aligns the book's contents with continuing studies in the field.
- New insights into the current states of education and employment, and a discussion of how these changes affect student performance and teacher practice.
- Additional examples and templates to help teachers elicit evidence of learning, provide meaningful feedback and activate students as owners of their own learning.
- A deeper and more thorough discussion of educational neuroscience, including studies of memory and dual-pathway theory.
Wiliam's hope is that the book convinces educators about the potential impact of formative assessment and empowers them to begin the challenging but important task of applying research to practice. "If all teachers accept the need to improve practice, not because they are not good enough but because they can be even better—and focus on the things that make the biggest difference to their students—we will be able to prepare our students to thrive in the impossibly complex, unpredictable world of the 21st century," stated Wiliam.
Myron Dueck, vice principal of Summerland Secondary School in British Columbia, praised the title, stating, "Dylan Wiliam's latest work seamlessly weaves research with practicality, big ideas with accessible classroom examples, and grassroots movements with global trends. Wiliam is refreshingly honest in his analysis of what most impacts learning, and he leaves the reader more convinced than ever that assessment does indeed form the bridge between teaching and learning."
The second edition of Embedded Formative Assessment is now available to order at SolutionTree.com.

[ S2:E22 "F. Emasculata" <<< Season 2 >>> S2:E24 "Our Town" ]
This episode starts with a hokey premise - a theoretical physicist (Tony Shalhoub) who, to quote the episode synopsis, is "literally afraid of his own shadow", after an experiment into dark matter goes wrong, in a dark twist on your prototypical superhero origin story - and follows it up with a number of throwbacks to the first season, starting with our favorite agents being introduced to the case by an old professional acquaintance (one of Scully's former students from the academy). The tech lab set is reminiscent of Roland, and an early scene features an excellently crafted reference to Squeeze.
There's plenty of good banter between Mulder and Scully (which we got a lot of in the first season), including lots of the dry humor that is appropriate to this series (as opposed to the quirkier approach in Humbug). Additionally, Mulder's forensic genius is once again pushed to the forefront, which is always fun to watch. A third act subplot involving government conspiracy raises the stakes in this episode, which features X in an unprecedentedly substantial role, that addresses the strain between him and Mulder since their last meeting in End Game. Altogether, the episode fails to rise to the level of greatness, but it has a lot of things going for it.
Memorable quotes:
Scully: Spontaneous human combustion?
Mulder: I've over a dozen case files; a human body is reduced to ash without any attendant burning or melting - rapid oxidation without heat.
Scully: Let's just forget for a moment that there's no scientific theory to support it.
Mulder: Okay!
Scully: Darkness covers a multitude of sins.
Scully: And whatever happened to spontaneous human combustion?
Mulder: Maybe it's not so spontaneous.
(This is an excellent example of why Mulder is such a great agent in spite of his radical theories. It's not that he's detached from reality - he's willing to modify his theories to fit the evidence that he's confronted with. He just doesn't have the same barrier to considering unusual hypotheses that most people have - which makes him the ideal investigator on cases that do end up involving paranormal phenomena. He zeroes in on the truth like a homing beacon while everybody else is fumbling over themselves because they refuse to acknowledge the possibility that what they're dealing with might really be alien abductions, or werewolves, or what have you).
Mulder: He believes the government is out to get him.
X: It's tax season, so do most Americans.
X: Dead men can't keep promises.
X: I'm not at your beck and call, Agent Mulder. I have nothing to gain and everything to lose by helping you.
Mulder: Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

Supermarket price war biggest problem for industry
Price wars between the major multiples are causing bigger problems for food and drink suppliers than anything they have experienced for many years, as the big four supermarkets battle it out with each other.
For years, Food Manufacture's annual 'state-of-the-industry' survey has reported on excessive pressure from the top retailers. We have had examples of them suddenly changing the rules of the game: issuing demands on their suppliers to cut costs; calling for money up front to be listed; or penalising them for dubious contractual failings and for consumer complaints. But this year, the level of complaints has soared.
Not only did 61% of the 522 respondents to our survey report that supermarket price wars were preventing them from passing on cost increases to their customers, but there were numerous complaints about underhand practices by big retailers.
"Poor retailer performance will only result in one thing – reduced margin for manufacturers," said by one respondent was typical.
Downward price pressure (Return to top)
"There is downward price pressure due to multiple retailer competition," said another respondent. "Although competition is good, lower prices lead to cost cutting and corner cutting, which will inevitably lead to the next food scandal or crisis."
Given that 64% believed the food industry had learned lessons from last year's horsemeat scandal, it is worrying that some believed pricing pressure could lead to it happening again. "Retailer price wars are causing ever increasing margin pressure on manufacturers," said a manager at a convenience foods firm. "This is exactly the type of situation which could cause another 'horsegate', which would be disastrous for the industry."
Overall, 84% reported that pricing pressure from retailers was threatening the quality of own-label products through excessive 'value engineering' basically, forcing them to cut costs through the use of cheaper ingredients. While this was very similar to the 83% who reported the same last year, it was the volume of accompanying complaints about supermarket misbehaviour and bullying that really stood out.
"Supermarket pressure is causing a reduction in quality in order to achieve a price point. Some competitors are being forced to sell at a loss to keep volume," said a respondent. "One of the major issues we face is that retailers are looking to hold or increase their margins while squeezing producers on price," said a manager in the bakery sector. "In the end the only thing producers can do is to engineer products to fit that price which, in turn, could mean the consumers are not seeing the best of your products."
And another biscuit company manager said: "Price wars among the retailers are having a major impact on business development. Also, trade investment seems too high with 60–70% of products always on promotion."
Just 21% of respondents thought the Groceries Code Adjudicator Christine Tacon was being effective in preventing big supermarkets from abusing their power over suppliers. That compares with 55% who last year expressed hope that she would stop them from doing so.
"Most retailers are still approaching any negotiations in a 'price down for quality up and don't care if you go out of business' manner," remarked one respondent. "The corrupt practices hidden under the carpet in the UK retail market beggar belief – give us a whistle-blower protection scheme and there'll be a herd of witnesses available!" Clearly, Tacon has more to do to convince suppliers – particularly small companies – that she is being effective.
Positives (Return to top)
On a more positive note, however, the number complaining that their customers were taking longer to pay bills fell slightly to 44% this year, compared with 46% last year. And while raw materials prices are still a problem (83%), the figure is down slightly on last year (88%). Also, despite the cost pressures from retail customers, 66% (62%) planned to invest more in new product development (NPD) this year.
The focus on healthy reformulation remains. Last year 58% claimed that reducing fat, salt and sugar was a key part of their companies' NPD strategy. However, with all the adverse press coverage about sugar in food and drink over the past six months, it was interesting to note that 47% reported that the debate over fat, salt and sugar content was hampering their NPD.
Despite everything, optimism in the sector remains high, with 78% more positive about the future of their companies than a year ago (73%) and 88% positive about the long-term prospects of the sector as a whole. Expectations about improving profit margins are also on the rise 72% (66%), although lack of access to finance remains a problem for around one-third 36% (33%).
The overall feeling of optimism is further demonstrated by a significant increase in the number of respondents expecting their companies to carry out more capital investment this year – 61% compared with 51% last year – and those planning to take on more staff at 49% (45%) because of vacancies in key roles (48% cf 45%). On the down side, problems in recruiting people with the requisite skills remain, at 63% (60%).
Also, pressure on profit margins was likely to inhibit manufacturers' ability to invest. As one own-label ready meal manufacturing manager succinctly put it: "Retailer price strategy is having a massively negative impact on future plans."
Energy efficiency (Return to top)
The environmental ambitions of companies highlighted by the survey remain similar to last year. The most notable difference, however, relates to plans by 71% (66%) to improve energy efficiency of their operations, which is probably related to new rules under the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS).
However, as one respondent noted: "Utilities and raw material increases too are a major concern; it is all very well saying invest in energy efficient equipment, etc, but you have to generate the income to do so."
The ESOS comes into effect next year as part of the EU's Energy Efficiency Directive and will make it mandatory for all large energy users to carry out energy audits every four years.

Viewing the results of the survey overall, it would be fair to conclude that despite much adversity, those in the sector are clearly more 'cup half full' than 'half empty' people.
Responding to a new question this year on expectations about consumer spending over the coming year, 75% said they expected it to rise. And yet this isn't supported by recent economic indicators, which point to consumer wariness about any economic recovery.
But, no doubt, retailers as well as manufacturers will also be hoping that consumer spending does pick up over the coming year.

For a lot of People, automobiles are an essential part of daily life. An induction motor actually has a wound field rotor so when less torque is required the excitation energy and magnetic field power is diminished subsequently reducing the core loss within the stator (exponentially). Legal responsibility insurance coverage shouldn't be the portion of your insurance coverage that covers your own injuries or property loss, however is instead used for the medical bills of accident victims , or to exchange the automobile or some other property which will have been broken.
Comprehensive insurance coverage is a superb selection of protection as a result of it should cover pretty much any damage that's carried out to your automobile.

Shortly after our interview with Disney•Pixar's The Good Dinosaur Director Peter Sohn and Producer Denise Ream, we sat with the cast of the film to learn more about the voices behind the characters.
Pictured from left to right: Sam Elliott, Director Peter Sohn, Anna Paquin, AJ Buckley, Producer Denise Ream, Jeffrey Wright and Raymond Ochoa.
Disney•Pixar's "The Good Dinosaur" opens in theaters on Nov. 25, 2015.
Interview with the Cast of Disney•Pixar's The Good Dinosaur
Q: In terms of the conversations with Peter, talk about what goals you talked about and what you were going for with the characters. What were the challenging moments for you?
Raymond Ochoa: Peter was so helpful in telling us what the characters were. Their backgrounds. Their ideas. He told me what I was scared of. I thought he was this brave dinosaur, because that's what I think dinosaurs are. They are brave, but that's not Arlo. He's not like that.
The fact that I had to talk like a dinosaur that's not outgoing, he's very scared, he's shy, he's not like how I am, that was when real acting had to come out. Because that's not me. I had to bring out my old self, because I was like that at one point. I had to reach into really deep into my old self.
Q: What was the specific pitch that you got in terms of your characters, what Pete was looking for?
Anna Paquin: I had already said yes before they actually told me what it was about. I want to say that they seemed ever so slightly nervous that I might be offended that they wanted me to be this big, bad-ass T-Rex. I was bracing myself to be some little thing that's really wimpy, because I'm a girl. I'm like, "That's fantastic," and they're like, "Really?" And I'm like, "Yeah, that's awesome! I get to be, you know, one of the dudes." Except a girl. Even cooler.
Q: Did you guys do any T-Rex research to prepare?
Anna Paquin: My kids have this really cool series of books called "How Does a Dinosaur Clean Up His Room". I don't know if any of you guys have kids or have seen this. It's using dinosaurs to teach important childhood lessons and life skills and morals. There's quite a lot of it in our household at the moment.
AJ Buckley: I was obsessed with dinosaurs as a kid. I was, many times, grounded for digging up my mom's beautiful backyard looking for fossils, and using my dad's toothbrush when I thought I'd found something and needed to gently scrape the dirt off. I was a big fan of dinosaurs, back in the day. Not that I know all of the facts, but I just geeked out you know. I was ready.
Q: Being of a still-learning school-age class, what kind of research and preparation do you do going into a film like this? Did you call on what you'd learned about dinosaurs?
Raymond Ochoa: I have great parents and they are so helpful in everything I do. When I knew that I was an apatosaurus, they helped me on what it actually was. They helped me Google stuff. They helped me Google facts about what it actually looked like, because I had no idea what it looked like.
I didn't know what an apatosaurus was at the time, but you kind of get to learn those things. I saw a picture of it, and I was like, "This dinosaur doesn't look that mean." But, you know, it doesn't look kid-friendly at the same time either.
If you saw that thing walking around, you'd be scared of it. Being a Pixar movie, you kind of have to be able to research enough work to make it look like and sound like a dinosaur. A kid-friendly dinosaur for kids to be able to listen to and be like, "Okay, I'm not scared of that voice." My voice was really high at the time, so no one would be scared of that voice.
Q: What were your conversations like in terms of developing what they wanted from the character personality-wise, as well as your catalyst for the story itself?
Sam Elliott: The first thing I saw was words on a page. You see the scenes. You don't see the script. You just see the scenes that you are involved with. A rendering in terms of an eight-by-ten rendering of what this character looked like. When we got into the studio with Pete, I didn't go off to Pixar to their facility, up north. I did mine in LA, and did it in a day.
When you go in there you meet this guy that is so enthusiastic, and so specific in his vision, and he has this incredible ability to draw that vision out of the performers, and that's a real gift of a director. As you saw, undoubtedly, through talking to him, he was a very enthusiastic individual, and a very sweet guy. He was the right guy to do this thing. It may be his first, but it's certainly not gonna be his last.
AJ Buckley: When I got out to see him, I asked him when we sat down, "Why did this happen?" He said, "I saw your character on Justified, and I loved the sound of your voice." These guys were already cast, and they took scenes from Justified, and examined it, and mixed it with them, and it fit. He said, "I just want you to do Danny Crow," and Danny Crow on Justified was this horrible, like, sociopath.
We were trying to find the voice and I was trying to figure out how to be a dinosaur, and be this guy. My character on Justified, chewed. So, I needed chew. They only had Jolly Ranchers there so I picked up a Jolly Rancher, and put the Jolly Rancher in my lip and Nash came out.
Q: What do you think this movie says specifically about fatherhood? Where do you draw a line on trying to push your son to be more than he is and being accepting of him for what he is?
Jeffrey Wright: That's the core issue and challenge for Papa, for my character. What I tried to draw on in order to understand the emotions and the dynamics of this relationship, was to draw on my relationship with my son and my daughter.
It's a really the central question of how. What level of encouragement or what level of pushing your kids does more damage than good. How do you strike that balance between a nurturing posture and one that's a bit too overbearing?
All parents go through that. That's what is so wonderful about this movie. You are experiencing this movie through the relationships you have through either your parents or your children. We, as audience members, bring a lot to the table as we're watching this. I think it's a fantastic story to take in, for parents to take in with their kids, or for kids to take in with their parents.
Q: Talk about what you think these characters will do in terms of how people perceive them, flipping that perception of dinosaurs on its head and surprising people.
Sam Elliott: Well, it's all of that. They're not typical of any T-Rex that's ever been represented on film or in animation that I'm privy to. I think that's part of the charm of this thing. Certainly all of the overriding themes that are involved, and whether it's the T-Rexes or the kid on his journey, this is about real life.
There's a lot of themes in here that ring true for families and parents and children. There's great things to be taken away from this. It's one thing to be able to entertain people, and we're blessed because we get to do that, I've always felt. But it's another thing, to inform people, or to provoke people, or make them think.
Q: What does it mean to be a part of the Pixar legacy at such an important time for Pixar (20th Anniversary)?
Sam Elliott: I think it's huge. For obvious reasons. It's huge for me, personally, because the 25th of November, if my mother were still living, she passed away three years ago, would've been her 100th birthday. That's a milestone for me. Anytime you get to be involved with a company like Pixar, it doesn't matter what day it is, or date it is, or anything else. This is a gift. I just look at this as a gift, and a grand opportunity over the long haul.

When NYC turned into an icicle in December, I needed a new soup spot to warm up my cold stomach. That's when I came across Ivan's Ramen.
Ramen is a new obsession of mine. My good friend who loves Asian food (I call him my Asian food consultant- everybody needs one in their life!) used to tell me 'ramen is the weakest noodle'. Like a fool, I believed him.
My love for ramen was not the "first sight" kind. Quite the contrary- I thought it was gross. I hate meat in my soup, and I try to stay away from carbs. But I first started eating the broth just to warm up, and I'd leave the rest for my husband to eat. Then, gradually, I developed an appreciation for the texture of the noodle, the complex flavors and the overall simplicity of the dish. Before I knew it, it was fire and desire, baby.
Trying out Ivan's Ramen was a no-brainer. Ivan Orkin is a Jewish guy from Brooklyn who makes ramen so good that Japanese people in Tokyo line up for it. How could I not be intrigued?!
Slurp! Slurp! at the West Gotham Market
We went to Ivan's Ramen at West Gotham to try out the famous Chicken Paitan ramen, which is Ivan's signature dish. First of all, this is not a regular ramen. It's literally Ivan's Ramen, one of a kind bowls of soupy goodness. The level of mastery he reached in this craft only happens when you understand the concept well enough that you start bending the rules and somehow upholding them all at the same time. He mixes elements of other cuisines, i.e. Tuscan and Jewish cuisines in a typical Japanese dish.
The ramen we ordered was a thick chicken broth, with soft egg, minced chicken, scallions, rye noodles and a garlic bomb (that was an extra).The broth was smoky and a bit salty (especially at the end). The best part was the richness of the soup, and the garlic bomb, which was a mix of lightly spicy red sauce and garlic deliciousness.
The staff saw me taking photos of the slurp shop, and they told me that Ivan was at the shop that day. Of course, I had to meet him.
The only negative was the price. With add-ons, we paid $20 for one bowl of ramen, which is pretty crazy. However, the ramen was rich and filling and one bowl was more than enough to fill up two hungry people.
Dessert at Waffle de Lys
For 10/10 satisfaction I always need to end my meal with a dessert. The Gotham West Market is a random compilation of great food stands, so you can get pretty much exactly what you're in the mood for, including dessert. We headed over to Waffle de Lys. I'm biased when it comes to sweets, but on the scale of deliciousness, I think my waffle was my favorite food that day!
It was just that good (this comes from a person who lived for 6 months in Brussels!). I had la nutty, which had nutella, banana, hazelnut crunch, and homemade whipped cream. The whipped cream was my favorite, but every other part of that waffle was also high quality – dense waffle, thick nutella, and crispy drizzle on top. Did I mention the whipped cream? I'd come back just to indulge in more of this super creamy, yummy cream.
The takeaway
If you're not quite convinced about ramen, and you want to try something creative, check out Ivan's Ramen Slurp Shop. His ramen turned my ideas about this traditional soup on its head. It will make your head spin too!
If you're not into ramen, a visit to West Gotham Market is still a must, especially if you have a larger group with trendy, hard to please taste buds. There's something for everyone there. And if everything fails, there's always the whipped cream at Waffle de Lys.

Regulars have taken action to head off the possibility of their pub going out of use as a community hostelry.
The Lambton Arms in Eighton Banks in Gateshead is currently being offered for sale by charterer surveyors Fleurets for £320,000.
Only six months ago, the pub was sold by owners Greene King to new Wiltshire-based pub company Hawthorn Leisure.
It was one of 275 tenanted and leased pubs sold by Greene King to Hawthorn Leisure who at the time said it planned to work with its tenants, providing management support and capital investment to help them drive growth and maximise the potential of their premises.
But now the Lambton Arms is back on the market and a group led by regular Marc Birkett has applied to Gateshead Council for the pub to be declared an asset of community value.
This means that, if a change of use is planned, the community group is informed and given the chance to buy the property and keep it as a pub.
Web development manager Mr Birkett has used the pub, where his grandfather was a regular, since 1998.
He said: "This is our pub. It's been someone's pub for generations, but now, today, it's ours and it needs help. We would hate to be the generation that does nothing and allows it to be closed for good.
"Our hope is that we can return the Lambton to a well-managed community pub, serving local beers that people want to drink, in a relaxed environment where you would want to bring your family."
The group has the backing of the Campaign For Real Ale, which estimates over 300 pubs nationwide have been listed as assets of community value.
"It has been a successful pub, but it has closed and then re-opened. If a good buyer comes along for it as a pub that should be no problem but if it is proposed it becomes a house or a store that is when the community asset would come in," said Mr Birkett.
The campaign would revert the pub, which dates to the 19th Century, to its original name of the Engine Inn.
It has launched a website www.engineinn.co.uk
The website says: "Our pub, the Lambton Arms at Eighton Banks, is currently up for sale by its owners. This is obviously a concern as we would like it to remain as a pub. It is our intention to raise the money to purchase it and run it as a community pub.
"We intend to revert the pub back to its original name to hopefully break the connection with the cycle of new owners, then closure, which the pub has suffered for the last few years.
"We would look to our local breweries rather than beer wholesalers and would take the place to what it once was, quiet, relaxed, family and dog friendly.
"We could even look at creating a brew pub, as we have people with the interest and the skills and the space and out buildings for a nano brewery."
When the council's decision is made the campaign will hold a public meeting at the Mount Community Centre, Eighton Banks.
"We need as many people to attend as possible, to demonstrate the desire within the community to keep the Lambton open," said Mr Birkett. "We would love to take it back to its original name and fill it with memorabilia and maps promoting our mining and quarrying history, of which we are immensely proud.
"The Lambton has so much to offer already and given the right management, can become a vibrant, popular pub once again. It needs the old life it used to have put back into it and with support and help, we think we can do it."
The Localism Act 2011 introduced an important new power for local communities to protect buildings and open spaces they value.
The Community Right to Bid came into effect in 2012. This is relevant to all civic societies and community groups.
This new right means communities can ask their local council to list certain assets as being of value to the community. If an asset is listed and then comes up for sale, the new right will give communities that want it six months to put together a bid to buy it.
A spokesman for Gateshead Council said: "We can confirm that we have received a nomination to register the Lambton Arms at Eighton Banks as an Asset of Community Value. "

A while back, I wrote a rather
long-winded lengthy comment on the culture of beauty. And I don't really have anything to add this time around, except this:
Don't try to live up to the standards that the advertising and marketing worlds have set for you unless you have make-up artists, hair stylists, professional light and photography, and Photoshop following you around everywhere you go.
Of course, this is easy and perhaps a bit cruel for me to say, since I have CL at my side. But still, to
all you ugly people the rest of you, just remember, beauty fades eventually.
Unless, apparently, you're CL. Haha.

6.30pm 6 miles in 46 minutes 24 seconds
Year to date mileage 1101
Month to date 11 miles
Average miles per month 109
Average weekly rate 25.2
Weather: Wet and windy
Warmed up with a mile of the track before tonight's session which was three 5 minute runs at slightly slower than 10k pace then three 4 minute runs at 10k pace and three 3 minute runs at slightly faster than 10k pace. Finally we did a 400 metre sprint of the track.
In between each run we had a minute recovery. I ran the first 5 minute runs quicker than my race pace. I find you get tempted to run slightly quicker because you are on the track, still I was consistent with my times on all the laps. It was a fairly blustery evening and the wind picked up on the bends.
The final 400 metres I have never managed better than 1 minute 30 and I didn't do any better tonight.
