In recent years, there is a very wide range of materials among spectacle frames: metal, plastic, carbon fiber, acetate, titanium, stainless steel, polyamide, wood, horn, optyl, elastomer, and multiple materials.
The frame can be chosen according to the needs of each and the qualities of lightness, comfort, flexibility, resistance, or even for a hypoallergenic criterion. Here is a little guide to enlighten you in this choice
Side fashion and trend, we find this year a lot of material effects with sometimes sophisticated mixtures.
Metal spectacle frames
The metal has the advantage of great strength and impact resistance. In addition, metal frames – particularly those with modern titanium-based alloys – are often lighter and more discreet than other materials.
The frame of metal glasses will harmonize well with a delicate and delicate face. In order not to make the face too severe or too cold, it is good to associate it with a color.
Also be aware that the thicker the sides of a frame, the more the width of the face is increased: metal frames are therefore an ideal material for elongated faces.
Metal spectacle frames are often made of other materials such as aluminum, cobalt or nickel. Be careful because there may be allergies to certain metals. If this is your case, try hypoallergenic options such as titanium or stainless steel. They are very suitable for Men's round sunglasses.
Plastic glasses frames
Plastic is a popular material for frames because it allows a wide variety of colors, textures, and patterns. They are strong, often cheaper and can fit almost any lens and therefore any corrections.
The plastic material is thicker, it marks more the face and is, therefore, shower, but it appears warmer.
It is recommended for people whose facial features are marked and young people who want to assert their personality and give free rein to their fantasy colors.
Make sure to find good quality, some plastics can become brittle or discolor with time.
Acetate eyeglass frames
Acetate and its derivatives are plastics of plant origin. Flexible to work, this material allowed the diversity of forms and gave the glasses a great resistance. Those who like to match their outfit appreciate the wide color palette and the shine offered by acetate.
They are very fashionable this year.
Carbon fiber glasses frames
carbon fiber goggles Carbon fiber belongs to the category of composite materials, that is to say, obtained after mixing several raw materials. It is more and more present in eyeglass garments because it offers very interesting properties: resistance, flexibility, and lightness. Equivalent qualities, carbon fiber glasses are cheaper than those in titanium. They are very suitable for Men's sports sunglasses.
Carbon fiber combines very well with other materials such as titanium or stainless steel for example. The disadvantage is in the more limited colors.
Titanium glasses frames
Of all the materials, titanium is probably the most appreciated because it is light, strong and hypoallergenic, so it is an excellent choice for people who are allergic to other metals. Titanium is robust, easy to adjust, and comes in a wide range of colors. Titanium glasses are perfect for hot and humid environments because of their sturdiness. They are also ideal for active lifestyles or for anyone with thick glasses.
The Flexon alloy (titanium and nickel), in addition to being very strong, returns to its original shape when it is folded or twisted: the branches are very thin and almost invisible. Be careful though because if titanium is hypoallergenic, some people are sensitive to nickel.
Note that titanium frames are more expensive than classic frames.
Stainless steel eyeglass frames
Like titanium, stainless steel is hypoallergenic. Stainless steel is light, strong. In most cases, stainless steel can be a cheaper alternative to titanium. These frames last a long time and can easily recover their shape after an accidental shock.
Wooden glasses frames
The wooden glasses have long remained unaffordable, but they are now found in many collections (and especially among French designers) to less than 150 euros. To assert your eco-chic personality, this is the ideal telescope! The wooden glasses are very pleasant to the touch but they are a little more fragile than the others and are therefore to handle with delicacy.
Horn eyeglass frames
buffalo horn glassesLarge material and high price, buffalo horn is used in luxury frames. However, it is widely used in fashion collections in recent years and often in combination with other materials such as wood. Buffalo horn glasses are often made by hand using a traditional process. Each pair of glasses is thus different in its hues, shades, natural veins …
It is a solid and light to the touch, silky but requires special care. Horn glasses tend to tarnish a bit as they get older.
Eyeglass frames in Optyl
Optyl is a hypoallergenic epoxy resin, it is a shape memory material, it is thermoelastic that is to say that it becomes elastic under the influence of heat and thus regains its shape. 'origin.
Optyl glass is usually translucent but some may be opaque after treatment. The optyl provides great strength and excellent surface finish but the major disadvantage is that it does not support the heat.
Polyamide eyeglass frames
Polyamide is a thermoplastic resin that looks a lot like acetate. Used pure or mixed with other plastics, it is particularly present in sunglasses and sports frames. Polyamide frames are both strong and flexible, unbreakable and much more flexible than plastic. The disadvantage is that they tend to shrink if they are exposed to too high a temperature.
Among the polyamide, glasses are the SPX (very high elasticity and well suited for fine frames) and nylon (well suited to sport glasses frames).
Elastomer eyeglass frames
elastomer goggles Among plastics are the elastomer: a synthetic polymer with the properties of natural rubber.
Elastomer glasses are unbreakable and much more flexible than plastic ones, they are very soft to the touch. The elastomer is particularly suitable for glasses for children or babies.
Multiple materials
Glasses that contain multiple materials can combine the benefits of other materials. For example, some people choose a mixture of metal and plastic, because the metal frame provides good comfort on the nose while the plastic branches give an advantage to the trendy style.

Our boat was called the Osprey, and she was a beauty. There were plenty of seats for all, and it was easy to walk around once the boat got moving. The sides and end of the boat had open-space areas where everyone could comfortably fit, to see the wonderful things we came across along the way.
The boat has a pay-for cooler, where you can get drinks. We got soda, but in hindsight, we probably should have gotten water! Not because of any one reason, but if you're outside in the heat, you want to stay hydrated, and nothing does that better than H20. On the top-right you see a tip jar. There is also one as you exit the boat. There is no pressure whatsoever to leave money, in fact, it's not even mentioned, but the crew works for tips, and the 90-minute boat ride is great, so I recommend leaving one in either of those spots.
The captain and the guide were great. They worked together effortlessly, and changed course as needed when they thought we would come across something appealing. While a lot of people have reported seeing dolphins on this cruise, we didn't. We did, however, come across a manatee. When you spot something in the water, the guide will start to give you a history of what it is you are looking at, which I thought was a great way to run the boat.
There's something to be said for seeing the sights of St. Augustine, from the water. It just gives you a different visual that is hard to ignore (and why would you want to?). Plus, there are no crowds to fight (or stairs to climb in the case of this lighthouse, lol). Not that I mind those things usually, but having a relaxed vantage point was nice as well. Very nice.
At one point in our ride, we came across the backside of Castillo de San Marcos, a large Spanish stone fortress built to protect and defend Spain's claim into St. Augustine years ago. There were changes of hand at this fort, but never due to defeat.
Our timing was impeccable, as we got there right when they were firing the cannon. We all covered our ears, and ooh'd and ahh'd at the boat-view of the experience. Again, no crowds, and no breezeless, beating hot sun on you while you stood to watch. We had the ocean breeze in our faces, and it was as pleasant as pleasant could be.
My son decided taking selfies to send his friends would be a good idea. I should have told him he was on the wrong side of the boat (the other side had the water views), but meh, I let it go. If you see the things he and his friends find amusing, you would understand (goofy dancing, making faces, selfies with the cat). ;) At this age, they just pretty much giggle at everything.
He did change his viewpoint later in the ride (that is his aunt right behind him to the left), but it wasn't a view I was happy with him getting (for some reason, he thinks it's hilarious to send his friends videos of me). 😏
One of the things I like about a peaceful boat ride, is seeing other boats on the water. It's a camaraderie much like military people or motorcycle riders seem to have. Everyone is happy to acknowledge the other party as part of the in-crowd, or group. ;) Almost every boat we passed had people waving hello, and of course we waved in return.
The time we spent seeing the coastal marshes, wetlands, wildlife and points of interest was so enjoyable that we felt like it was over very quickly! Truth be told though, we left and returned exactly on time, which wasn't really surprising, considering the captain and crew worked together very capably and efficiently.
If you find yourself in or around St. Augustine, I do highly recommend Florida Water Tours. We had a wonderful time, and will be taking another tour when we return, perhaps on the Sunset Cruise, where I'm sure the colors in the sky are pretty amazing to behold.
I will say the views we had in the daytime though, even when there was nothing but sky and water to see, were faaaantastic. That's a pelican coming in to land. I get excited when I see a pelican every.single.time.

Working for equal education for all students
With Hispanic students representing nearly half of the Clark County school district, Darlin (Darlene) Delgado is working to bridge this gap between the community and educational system. As a veteran educator and newly appointed principal of Clark County School District's Virtual High School and Academy for Individualized Study, she is implementing programs to benefit all students of Southern Nevada.
Delgado helped develop a campus master schedule to maximize student learning for college and career readiness, direct and coordinate the process for the National Academy Foundation accreditation of the Business Information Technology Academy and implement district and school goals. Delgado also served as dean of students at the Las Vegas Academy of International Studies, Performing & Visual Arts. While there, she monitored student behavior in compliance with CCSD policies and regulations, pupil personnel services and maintained discipline by enforcing school and district rules.
Delgado moved to Las Vegas when she was 11 years old with her family from El Salvador and she spoke no English at the time. "My father relocated our family of seven to Las Vegas to escape from the atrocities of a civil war. He was determined to provide his family a life of freedom and opportunity; he worked as a kitchen worker and porter in various casinos," she explained.
"My parents instilled in me that education was the great equalizer. I often heard from my father that education was my ticket out of poverty and that if I wanted a good life, I had to have a good education."
Educated through the Clark County School District, she credits her experience for helping her achieve many of her goals. "While in high school, I had wonderful and inspiring teachers who believed in my potential. My school counselor, Mr. Montoya guided and helped me get into college and get a scholarship. For me, my career choice has been a personal mission. I give credit to my teachers, counselors, mentors and family for my education."
She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Secondary Education from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and a Master of Arts degree in Educational Administration from the University of Phoenix.
"I wanted to pay back to all of the teachers and everyone who helped me along the way so I also became a teacher," she said. Delgado chose to advance her education because, "as a teacher, you impact the students you are teaching but once you become an administrator, your effects are quadrupled and you reach a bigger group of students."
While a teacher, Delgado, "realized that mentoring became part of my daily interactions with my students. I especially remember one young lady who was my student. During her senior year, Esmeralda told me that she was applying for Metro's cadet program. At first, I was a little apprehensive because I could not envision Esmeralda as a police officer; she was five feet two inches and a girly girl. I completed her reference and later she was accepted into the cadet program. As soon as she turned 21, Esmeralda became a Metro officer and is now a detective. Currently, I have been mentoring three young, new Hispanic teachers who graduated from Clark County School District high schools. One of them is one of my former students and the other two I have met through colleagues."
In her personal life, Delgado has been married to, "her supportive, best friend and husband for twenty years. We have three children who keep us busy." Delgado is grateful to the many people she has met and, "I know that each one of them has left a long lasting impression in my professional and personal life." Delgado is working to create the same opportunities as a Fearless Female.

In Unaccountable, Dr. Makary argues that patients blindly walk into a marketplace they can't study or evaluate. Readers will learn the shocking truth about the Wild West of modern medicine, including its hazards and its heroes.
Why are medical errors now the fifth leading cause of death in America?
Why do some prestigious hospitals have complication rates five times higher than others?
Why are 20-30% of all medications and procedures unnecessary, according to a new study?
How do you find the best medical care?
Today, more than ever, doctors and nurses describe a "corporatization" of healthcare by executives increasingly removed from the front lines of patient care – a detachment parallel to that of large bank executives before the financial collapse. The only difference is that, instead of a onetime taxpayer bailout for the banks, healthcare is being bailed out every day.
The personal advice and broader reforms Dr. Makary lays out are neither impractical nor partisan. They are common sense. With thousands of lives at stake every year, and a broken system that is burdening families, businesses and our national debt, we need the fresh new ideas this book provides.
Now available for pre-order, wherever books are sold.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles beat out a tree named Groot and a bunch of action hero OGs (old guys) to retain the #1 spot at the box-office, as it took in $28.4 million. Let's Be Cops had the best debut among the newbies, as The Expendables 3 and The Giver took the #4 and #5 spots. Here's the top 10:
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – $28.4 million
- Guardians of the Galaxy – Audiences are still hooked on a feeling, as the Marvel flick took in $24.74 million
- Let's Be Cops – With a production budget of $17 million, this buddy cop film does solid business behind The New Girl duo Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. – $17.7 million.
- The Expendables 3 – The old guys huff and puff their way to fourth place with $16.6 million. Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, and Wesley Snipes are the new additions.
- The Giver – Although it debuted at a disappointing fifth with $12.76 million, The Giver was made for just an estimated $25 million. Expect the movie to at least break even.
- Into The Storm – $7.72 million.
- The Hundred-Foot Journey – $7.1 million.
- Lucy – With over $107 million domestically, it's safe to say Scarlett Johansson can carry her own action movie. Black Widow, anyone? Lucy made $5.3 million over the weekend.
- Step Up All In – $2.7 million
- Boyhood – One of the year's best and most ambitious films. Should be remembered come Oscar nomination time. $2.15 million.
In the following clip, Teenage Mutant Ninja actress Megan Fox talks about being a big fan of TMNT:

Media Reviews
Grips can make or break a ride. They're small in size but have one of the biggest effects on comfort. As you know, the wrong grip can cause soreness, pain, and just make for a miserable experience. Red Monkey's Karv (xt) grip is a simple design that gave us nothing but comfort on long rides.
More and more riders are singing the praises of silicone grips thanks to the efforts of brands like Red Monkey and ESI. Even so, there are still those out there that prefer the convenience and holding power of a lock on. Since having options is always good, Red Monkey is putting the Klampz to their silicone with their first lock on grip.
I first heard about RedMonkey Sports and their silicone grips back at the Sea Otter Classic when their Karv was on display. Now, they are back at it with a new lock-on grip called the Klampz. The company itself is based in Orange County, CA and they manufacturer the grips locally.

Liverpool Food and Drink Festival launch day
After coming home full of appreciation for another delicious (and sunny) food festival launch day, we decided we wanted to try a new restaurant on Monday and take advantage of the 50% off promotions available. Having enjoyed a meal at The Monro on Duke Street awhile back, we decided to try its sister restaurant, The James Monro, on Tithebarn Street. Its offer was, and I quote, 'half price off rump steaks' (click on the link then The James Monro to see its Monday offer). I mentioned this offer to the man taking my reservation, who was extremely friendly and professional, confirming that was the offer. Sadly our experience didn't live up to our anticipation.
The James Monro has been decorated in a neoclassical style befitting its early 19th century namesakes (both a ship running the first regular passenger service between Liverpool and New York and the fifth President of the United States). We arrived a few minutes early and had our choice of seats; unfortunately, we picked the Invisible Table ™. You know, the table which has the only unlit candle, unnoticed by waitstaff out of at least twenty candles burning throughout the restaurant (I eventually lit it myself because I like playing with matches). The table that has no cutlery even after the starter arrives (we ate the salad leaves accompanying our garlic bread with our fingers because we're classy like that and hate waste). The table which just seems to be overlooked by waitstaff serving every other table around it. So our restaurant karma was a little off from the beginning.
The James Monro's website mentioned a new menu available from September; I can only surmise they're still getting the hang of it. There were several typos (it took us a little while to figure out what a 'wind mushroom' was) and some incongruities with dishes available on the early bird menu vs the a la carte menu and vice versa. The goat's cheese and courgette parcel with asparagus and yoghurt and mint dressing I ordered wasn't available, I was later informed. And when my husband went to order his steak, he was told that yes, it was available as part of a 2-for-1 offer.
The waiter noticed that we were just *slightly* taken aback, because 2-for-1 was not quite the same thing as half price. If it was, we wouldn't have come, because I don't eat steak. Husband asked for a few minutes to revise his order and the waiter retreated to the kitchen. He returned a few minutes later to say that they would be willing to do husband's steak at half price. All credit to him for resolving the issue, but we shouldn't have had to make a fuss to get what was stated both online and by the member of staff who took our booking.
Faff aside, our food was quite good. I settled on fish and chips since the main I originally wanted wasn't available. Husband's steak was cooked exactly as he ordered, the peppercorn sauce looked appealing and the chips were proper big, handcut chips, cooked almost to perfection. My fish was flaky and moist, the batter dark and crispy. My chips were equally tasty.
We don't like being the couple that have to make a point to get the level of service that other tables are shown as a matter of course; I had to ask for a wine list, whereas others just got them alongside their menus. It left a slightly bitter taste, metaphorically. While the food was nearly the equal to The Monro's, I'm not sure I'll be heading back to the James Monro. The business district definitely needs more quality restauarants if it wants to be be more of a destination after 5pm, so I wish them the best and hope they can live up to the potential that's there.
Next up: a welcome newcomer on Hope Street, just in time for Sunday's Feast…

Yard Waste
Information from Public Works & Natural Resources
Leaves, Grass Clippings and Tree Limbs
It is a violation of the Municipal Code to rake or blow yard wastes into the street because
it can enter the storm sewer and cause blockages and localized flooding.
Violations may result in a warning or a fine.
- DO NOT blow or rake yard wastes into the street - sweep up or rake for proper disposal;
- Check storm drain inlets near your neighborhood to make sure they are free of debris. Rake leaves/debris away from the inlet and dispose properly. You should immediately report the problem to the Utility Operations if the debris is excessive or causes any back up or flooding;
- Never remove the inlet grate from the storm drain opening - this does not unclog the system and creates a hazard;
- Proper disposal of grass includes grasscycling (mulching), composting and trash;
- Proper disposal of leaves includes drop off at Waste Diversion Center, Fall Curbside Leaf Collection, composting and trash

Lawn Care - Fertilizers
Most grasses only require a modest level of nitrogen for good color and controlled growth. Too much fertilizer can be harmful, promote too fast growth (more mowing required) or wash into the storm drain and pollute the river.
Boulder County's Resource Conservation suggests a good schedule to follow is fertilize once in spring, again in fall and mulch grass clippings throughout the summer.
- Use fertilizers sparingly: Different grasses require different fertilizers - check with local garden center to ensure the proper application. For a slower and more unified growth, consider using "slow-release" or "water insoluble" fertilizers. (These are especially good for slopes, compact soil and any other lawn where the potential for runoff is very high.)
- Apply fertilizer when grass is dry. This prevents the foliage from being burned and allows the fertilizer to fall around the plants where it can be watered in.
- Avoid washing away fertilizers: Don't apply fertilizers if the forecast calls for rain. Don't over water your lawn.
- Mulch grass clipping to reduce need for fertilizers. More info available on Boulder Co. website.

Irrigation Run-Off
Overwatering of landscape or improperly planned drainage allows irrigation water or rain to escape your yard. Improve your landscaping by employing:
- Swales - direct run off from your property to a location that allows the soil to absorb the water.
- Rain Gardens - plant a flower garden in an area of your yard where water pools after irrigation or rain. This allows the water to seep into the ground rather than run off the property.
- Pervious Pavement - decorative paving bricks that can enhance absorption of water.

These enabled delegates to maximise their opportunities to learn, network with peers, and build key relationships which last well beyond CPRWeek.
Main Events for CPRWeek
Our 50th anniversary conference was held at County Hall on the banks of the river Thames.
Networking Opportunities
Regulators' Dinner
Top teams from regulators around the world enjoyed dinner together.
Drinks Reception
Delegates and speakers had the opportunity to meet informally at the opening reception, ahead of the 50th Annual Conference.

Housebuilder boss joining federation at a "crucial time" for the industry
Barratt boss David Thomas has joined the board of the Home Builders Federation.
He has filled the slot left vacant by Taylor Wimpey's Peter Redfern, who left the HBF board earlier this year after completing his term.
Thomas (pictured), who recently took a swipe at extravagant executive bonuses in the housebuilding sector, said he was pleased to be joining the HBF at what was a "crucial time" for the industry.
"Housing is very high on the political agenda, government has very ambitious housing targets in place and there are huge challenges facing the industry around skills and quality," he said.
"The HBF does a very good job of representing the industry and working constructively with government and I look forward to working with the board to help tackle the issues facing our sector."
Earlier this month Thomas described the level of some executive remuneration packages in the housebuilding sector as "reputationally problematic".
Persimmon shareholders narrowly approved multi-million pound pay deals for chief executive Jeff Fairburn and other senior management figures, while the housebuilder said it had noted the 'concern' of investors.

Eyebrow Microblading
Eyebrow microwblading is a semi-permanent procedure that allows you to dramatically correct or fully reconstruct lost eyebrow. Microblading techniques involves drawing individual, crisp hair strokes that are more natural looking than tattooing, brow pencils or powders.The blade of microblading pen contains numerous pins that are 3 times thinner than the needles used for tattooing. When performed correctly, the procedure is almost painless.
permanent lipliner and shading
A natural appearing permanent cosmetic lip liner can be applied to give more definition, correct uneven lips, as well as boost your natural collagen, which will result in a fuller appearance. The procedure also helps prevent lipstick from bleeding and can minimize the appearance of wrinkles. Full lip color can be applied in either a natural hue or a more vivid one. Wear your permanent lip color alone in a natural tone or apply different shades of lipstick over your permanent lip color for those occasions when you prefer a more dramatic look–you will find that the color lasts much longer when applied over permanent cosmetic lip color than it did to a bare lip.
3d Areola tatooing
3D nipple areola tattooing or repigmentation has become standard procedure in reconstruction following a mastectomy. It is generally performed as the final stage of breast reconstruction. It can also be done to conceal a scar or cosmetically enhance your nipples. We are able to give them the appearance of a completely natural areola and nipple. This is a simple tattoo procedure for women who have lost one or both nipples through surgery or trauma. By using advanced tattooing techniques, the appearance of the nipple can be restored.
Dusk 'Til
Permanent Cosmetics
about me.
From an early age, I have always been interested in fashion and cosmetics and have always kept up with the latest fashions and advancements in beauty techonology and techniques. Working as a makeup artist, I have worked for MAC Cosmetics, as well as a freelance makeup artist. I have always been fascinated by how makeup can accentuate and highlight areas such as cheekbones or the beauty of the eyes or by shadowing and other techniquess, reduce blemishes or areas of the face that are not quite as flattering. Of course, we all never seem to have enough time in the day, so any time savings in achieving our perfect makeup is valuable. After my own experience with permanent cosmetics, I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a permanent cosmetics technician and completed my training at the Dallas Skin Institute. I look forward to using my skills to provide you a lifetime of beauty through permanent makeup.

A promising young swimmer tipped for the next Olympic Games in Rio has died in her bed aged 16.
Chloe Waddell died at home in Timperley, Greater Manchester, only hours after collecting an award for swimming and then attending a party last weekend.
Desperate efforts by Chloe's parents to revive her with the aid of 999 operators failed, after they discovered her lying unconscious on Saturday morning.
It is believed she suffered a cardiac arrest.
Chloe's distraught family said they were "very proud of her" for her achievements in the pool and in school.
The teenager turned 16 just weeks ago and had spurned a birthday celebration to focus on her swimming.
Mother Fiona Waddell told the Manchester Evening News of the family's shock at her sudden death.
"We are devastated but we have got support from friends and family and that's doing a lot to help," she said.
"She had been marked out for being a gifted swimmer who competed for her country.
"She worked incredibly hard. She loved swimming, she was very focused on it and she wanted to go as far as she could. She was also bright academically, everything she did she gave 100 per cent. We are very proud of her.
"She gave up going on holiday with her friend to compete, she was so committed, so dedicated, she worked everything around her swimming."
Hours before she died, Waddell collected an "outstanding Achievement" award for her efforts at the Swim Trafford and Altrincham swimming club.
Afterwards, she went to a friend's house to celebrate at a party before her parents picked her up and drove her home.
At the time of her death Chloe was the regional 800m freestyle champion. She also competed at the National and British Championships in various events.
A police spokesman said: "At about 8.30am on February 3 2013, police were called by the ambulance service who had attended a house on Bryons Drive in Timperley.
"Paramedics were there to treat a 16-year-old girl who had gone into cardiac arrest.
"She was taken to hospital but sadly died."

The aim of this thesis is to present the digitization process of the herbarium orchids collection of the Croatian herbarium (Herbarium croaticum) of the Botanical Institute of the Faculty of Science in Zagreb. Unlike the digitization of other materials, here is the specific mode of digitization because it includes fragile herbarium specimens. This paper describes the process of preparing material for digitization, digitization of herbarium sheets, and entering metadata into a database and georeferencing. The description includes the application and used tools, and a special scanner used for digitization of herbarium specimens. The purpose of the paper is to show that the digitization of such materials differs from others and what are its specific characteristics. In addition, some examples of digitization of herbarium in the world are mentioned. The paper shows what is needed to digitize this kind of material and how much time this process takes. The aim of this paper is also to help digitize herbarium specimens of the Botanical Institute by presenting all the steps of the process, as well as estimating the time needed to digitize a herbarium sheet.

A good chamois is one of the most important factors to a woman's enjoyment on the mountain bike, and yet one of the most ignored. Many of us simply accept the sub-par chamois that came in our favorite bike shorts or skip the padding all together because its just not comfortable.
While most (but not all) baggy mountain bike shorts come with a pair of chamois, we actually prefer to buy our chamois separately. Why? Just like every woman is different, so is every woman's underside. Some women prefer skinny chamois, while others like more padding. If you are experiencing chafing, saddle sores, or general discomfort, chances are switching your chamois might help.
The other awesome thing about buying separate chamois is that you can wear the same pair of baggies several times while putting on fresh chamois everyday–which is particularly nice when doing a week-long bike packing trip, for instance.
Unfortunately, it's not that easy to find chamois that are sold separately from baggies, but with a little searching, there are some great options out there. We've done the searching and the testing for you, and picked out our favorite women's mountain bike chamois. Buy one, or several, and see what works best for your unique bum.
POC Resistance Enduro Boxers
POC makes my favorite helmets, and I rather dig their women's chamois as well. The material on these boxer-briefs is super soft, and the padding is adequate without being bulky. The only bummer is the pricetag, which is a little on the high side for something that goes under your clothes.
Price & Where to Buy:
Dakine Comp Liner Short
We dig these chamois for their crossover waste band — they stay up well without rubbing or chafing your mid-section. The stitching is both pretty and soft, so you dont have to worry about rubbing anywhere else either. The padding on these are thick, so they work well for long days in the saddle.
Price & Where to Buy:
Terry Women's Mixie Bike Liner
Terry is the leader in women-specific cycling apparel, so we're not surprised that their chamois are better than most. While they market the Mixie as a "recreational" chamois, women who prefer a minimalistic chamois will dig these seamless bottoms. They also happen to come in pretty prints.
Price & Where to Buy:
Fox Switchback Shorts
If you need a little extra "oomph" to get your going, these stylish chamois will do the job. Not only are they comfortable and well constructed, the Fox Switchback chamois, look rad. The women-specific chamois provide superior all-day comfort without being overly bulky.
Price & Where to Buy:
Club Ride Damselcham
These are a favorite amongst all the women I ride with. The Damselcham is both breathable and wicking, so if you need moisture control down there, consider these bottoms. Wear them with your Club Ride baggies or any best-loved short – they have loops for attaching to your favorite pair.
Price & Where to Buy:
- $39.95 at Backcountry.com

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP/WCCO) — A prognosticating orangutan at a Minnesota zoo has picked the Denver Broncos to win Sunday's Super Bowl.
Amanda the Orangutan ran into her exhibit at St. Paul's Como Park Zoo on Saturday and went straight for a pair of boxes, each containing a shirt of the two teams battling for NFL supremacy, the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks.
Zoo spokesman Matt Reinartz says Amanda paused a bit at first to soak up the attention.

This year is the 50th anniversary of two monumental pieces of legislation: the Wilderness Act and the Civil Rights Act. Though these two laws exist within different arenas of public affairs, both have had significant effects on American society.
The Wilderness Act was signed into law in 1964 with almost unanimous support, at a time when American society overwhelmingly supported its passage. Since 1964, wilderness has been criticized as an elitist ideal representing a small interest group in the United States. As our country becomes increasingly diverse, and public lands protection loses popular support, making wilderness more relevant to minority populations is vital.
This project examines the social constructs of wilderness in the United States in response to a changing demographic on our public lands. In this project, I aim to 1) evaluate current recreation trends of African Americans in the United States, 2) discuss criticisms of wilderness and how a focus on the social foundations of the wilderness movement can help to ameliorate those criticisms, and 3) propose changes to future wilderness education in order to increase relevance of the wilderness idea.
Research for this project focused on recreation trends, history of the wilderness movement, and modern wilderness criticisms and commentary. I collected interviews from nine individuals whose work involves the link between wilderness and society through management, education, outreach, and stewardship. Collectively, this project aims to suggest tools for wilderness education that will make wilderness, both in theory and in practice, accessible to a broader populace, hopefully increasing its relevance and assuring its existence into the future.

Elder Patriot – A new factory report reveals that President Trump's Maganomic plan is steaming ahead and gaining momentum. In the process the president has been busy exposing the economic globalists' shills.
Obama seduced fawning Americans with solid, if unimpressive, stock prices. Try spending that at the grocery store. Right, you can't. That proved especially true for the tens of millions of American workers who became unemployed or underemployed while Obama was in office.
The Obama strategy was to allow the offshoring and vertical integration of larger and larger companies until they virtually swallowed their competitors. This allowed companies to trim payrolls by eliminating redundant workers.
Coupled with virtually unfettered immigration, the wages of American workers stagnated or shrunk. Profits soared but America suffered. Corporate America laughed all the way to the bank while Wall Street rejoiced.
Backed by the strength of lobbyists like the Chamber of Commerce and the Business Roundtable this had been the policy of successive presidents beginning with Bush I up until the time Donald Trump kicked it to the curb.
President Trump understands this is fool's gold. This, more than anything else, is the reason he decided to run for president. Declining employment, increased reliance on government services, and negative real wage growth do not combine to make a healthy nation.
Trump's economic policy is based on growing all sectors of the economy and that includes manufacturing. He has unshackled the manufacturing sector and, like a bird released from captivity, it is once again soaring.
This was confirmed by yesterday's release of the Institute for Supply Management June report. The Wall Street Journal grudgingly characterized the report thusly:
American factory activity accelerated for the second straight month this summer, in part because manufacturers were scrambling to move goods ahead of threatened tariffs.
The Institute for Supply Management on Monday said its manufacturing index rose to 60.2 in June from 58.7 in May.
This is the highest level since May 2004. More importantly the report says the fundamentals are there for sustained growth:
"Comments from the panel reflect continued expanding business strength. Demand remains strong, with the New Orders Index at 60 percent or above for the 14th straight month, and the Customers' Inventories Index remaining low. The Backlog of Orders Index continued to expand, reading at 60 percent of higher for the third consecutive month. Consumption, described as production and employment, continues to expand in spite of labor, skill and material shortages. Inputs, expressed as supplier deliveries, inventories and imports, had expansion increases, due primarily to negative supply chain issues. Lead-time extensions, steel and aluminum disruptions, supplier labor issues, and transportation difficulties continue. Export orders expanded at higher rates. Price pressure remains strong, but the index saw its first expansion softening since November 2017. Demand remains robust, but the nation's employment resources and supply chains continue to struggle."
That means more jobs a comin' and with them wage increases – significant wage increases – will be next.
There's no doubt that President Trump is winning for the American people. There's also no doubt that the globalist shills – with trillions of dollars at stake – aren't going to go away without a major fight.
Mitt Romney's successful campaign in Utah shows they are still a formidable force to be reckoned with.
But, American take heart, the longer Trump beats back the elitist economic bullies the more Americans will embrace his presidency.
Let the good times roll!

What's it like? With Heathrow's T5 now seemingly running smoothly, it seems a good time for Sofitel to open the terminal's flagship hotel. Aside from the Hilton at T4, the low-rise Sofitel London Heathrow is the only hotel attached to any of the terminals, lying parallel with the entrance to T5. The property is owned by Arora International Hotels and is managed under a franchise agreement with Sofitel (similar to the arrangement at the Sofitel London Gatwick). The hotel is split over five atria, which are joined by the central "Avenue" alongside which the restaurants, bars and reception areas are located. Standout features of the building itself include five water sculptures designed by David Harber and a peaceful Zen garden taking up the entire floor of one of the atria. This and other indoor gardens (there are a total of 32 trees planted within the building) have been designed to distance the property from the normal "airport-hotel feel", and it works.
Where is it? For those arriving at Terminal 5 by air, or by the Heathrow Express or London Underground Piccadilly line, the hotel is accessed via a lift opposite Marks and Spencer on the Arrival level, which takes you up to Level One. From here, guests head down a covered walkway filled with flatscreen TVs (showing BBC News 24 when I arrived), past a meet-and-greet desk and down a set of escalators to the main reception. Just across from here is the main entrance for those arriving by car or taxi. The hotel has 21 reception desks (although not all are manned 24/7), which should ensure there is never a long wait for check-in.
How many rooms? 605, of which 201 are Classic rooms (26 sqm), 188 are Superior (28 sqm), 164 are Luxury (32 sqm), 25 are Sofitel Suites (36-38 sqm), 24 are Prestige Suites (54-64 sqm), two are Opera Suites (95 sqm), and one is the Imperial Suite (165 sqm).
Room facilities Rooms are arranged around the five atria, with the Luxury rooms and suites positioned towards one end of the hotel, where premium services such as a separate check-in desk and Club Millésime (an executive lounge for suite guests) are located. I was staying in Luxury room 5308 – the "five" referring to the atrium, and the "three" to the floor level. It can be quite confusing at first, but rooms are well signposted, and the advantage of only having four floors of rooms is that I never waited more than a few seconds for one of the many lifts to arrive. (In future, lifts will be keycard-activated as a security measure.)
Rooms are decorated in browns and beiges, with two-tone cherry and walnut timber furniture, and framed prints of London landmarks on the walls. All rooms include Sofitel's signature "My Bed" (queen-size in Classic room categories, king-size in all others), a Hugo Boss armchair and footrest, a workdesk with wired and wifi internet access (£6 per hour or £15 for 24 hours), UK and US sockets, a "media hub" allowing guests to feed iPod and digital-camera content through the flatscreen TVs, a laptop safe, a hairdryer, an empty fridge (this can be pre-filled if requested), plenty of storage space, an iron and ironing board, and tea and coffee-making facilities (with large mugs and a cafetière). The switches on the wall by the door control the air conditioning, room lights, and electronic "Do Not Disturb" and "Please Clean" signs.
Bathrooms have polished granite floors, a separate bath and shower (with rain shower and normal shower heads), a mist-free main mirror, a shaving mirror with individual light, Hermès toiletries, and a bathrobe and slippers, while Luxury rooms and above also have touchscreen LCD televisions at one end of the bath.
All rooms are at least double-glazed (those looking out towards the airport are triple-glazed), and views are of the internal atriums, T5 and the runway or the front of the hotel. The rooms are well thought-out, with all the facilities a business traveller could need (no frustrating call to reception to ask for an iron to be brought up).
Restaurants and Bars The hotel has a total of five restaurants and bars located along the Avenue. At one end is Brasserie Roux, a fine-dining restaurant overseen by Albert Roux and serving French regional dishes such as quenelle de brochet à la Lyonnaise (pike mousse with purée of mushroom and lobster sauce) and cassoulet de queue de lotte (monkfish cassoulet). The restaurant has been cleverly designed with a floating ceiling, allowing the area to feel intimate while still showing off the hotel's airy four floors of open space above, and there is also the option of a private-dining room and chef's table.
Next door, the Library Bar has signature cocktails and the highest-backed chairs I have ever seen (a cluster of four of them create a kind of booth), and the Tea 5 Salon (get it?) is a tearoom offering over 40 different brews, an afternoon tea menu, and a "tea sommelier". Further down the Avenue, Bar Sphere and Lounge has an Icelandic "fire and ice" theme, while Vivre offers five "live cooking-theatre kitchens", including a rotisserie, wok station, pizzeria, grill and a deli, and is also where breakfast is served. This restaurant has been designed with delegates in mind, in order to offer a wider range of dishes for conferences and events.
Business and meeting facilities The Sofitel London Heathrow has the third-largest meeting and conference space in the UK, and will be banking on attracting large events based on its domestic and international transport links. There are 45 meeting rooms and, for large events, there is a separate entrance and reception area. The largest room, the Arora Suite, can accommodate up to 1,700 delegates theatre-style and is divisible into seven separate spaces. Many of the other rooms are named after cities of the world, with the 90 sqm London Suite, for instance, hosting up to 45 people for a banquet. Boardrooms feature Hugo Boss leather chairs and lightbox images on the walls of well-known London sights, and the hotel has outsourced its audio-visual facilities to AVC Productions which has an on-site team. Other features include a 117-seater tiered theatre, an office for event organisers, and a green room for performers. There is wifi internet access throughout the hotel (with 100MB of bandwidth), and the business centre is open 24 hours a day (there is also a cluster of PCs with internet access close to the main entrance).
Leisure facilities The hotel has partnered with Espa to offer five treatment rooms, as well as a relaxation area, sauna, steam room and hydro pool (there is a charge of £25 for guests to use these facilities, unless they are booking a treatment, or are staying in a Prestige Suite or above when it's free). Therapists take customers through an initial consultation to pinpoint specific areas of concern and choose which essential oils to use with the treatments, which include therapies designed for before and after air travel. There is also a 24-hour keycard-operated gym, which is free for all guests.
Verdict Sofitel hopes its Heathrow property will become a destination in its own right rather than just an airport hotel, and it has certainly covered all the bases in terms of excellent facilities, both in-room and in the public spaces. The conference venues are extensive, the internal gardens are a great touch, and Brasserie Roux will undoubtedly rival T5's culinary offerings airside. A significant addition to the Heathrow hotel scene.
Prices Classic rooms start from £223 on weekdays and £152 on weekends. There is a £35 supplement for Superior rooms and £75 for Luxury rooms, while Prestige Suites start from £700.

LONDON FTBs STUMP UP EXTRA £19,000 PER BEDROOM
- Buying a first time buyer (FTB) home with an extra bedroom could add almost £19,000 to a deposit – more than half a Londoner's average annual salary.
- Each bedroom in a FTB property adds more than two years to the amount of time the average couple needs to save for a deposit.
- With Shared Ownership, it can cost less than £600 to upgrade to a larger home.
Each extra bedroom in a first time buyer home in London can add almost £19,000 to the cost of a deposit, according to a recent report by property portal Share to Buy.
The report reveals that – without the assistance of home ownership schemes such as Shared Ownership – purchasing a three-bedroom home in the capital, instead of a two-bedroom property, pushes the average FTB deposit from £93,623 to £112,555. The difference – £18,932 – amounts to more than half a Londoner's average gross income (£32,306). Similarly, upgrading from a one-bed to a two-bed London property adds £16,216 to a FTB deposit.
Besides the financial impact, the report also highlights the added time cost to FTBs who wish to scale the property ladder without Shared Ownership. It takes, on average, 2.2 extra years for a dual earner couple to save for a deposit on a two-bed home compared to that of a one-bed. Moreover, opting for a three-bed property adds a further 2.5 years to their savings time.
Under Shared Ownership, however, smaller deposit sizes mean the cost difference between purchasing a smaller and larger home is greatly reduced. Shared Ownership buyers in London can put down a minimum of £7,819.48 for a two-bedroom home and £8,390.6 for a three-bedroom home, meaning that upgrading to a larger property adds £571.12 to the deposit – a fraction of what it would cost without Shared Ownership. Equally, it can cost a FTB as little as £1,483.51 in extra savings to upscale to a two-bed home from a one-bed, with the latter requiring an average deposit of just £6,335.97 through Shared Ownership.
Shared Ownership offers buyers the opportunity to purchase a percentage share of a property (between 25% and 75% of the home's full market value) and pay a subsidised rent on the remaining share. Buyers can choose to purchase additional shares as and when they can afford to – also known as 'staircasing' – allowing them, in most cases, to ultimately buy their home outright.
Nick Lieb, Head of Operations for Share to Buy, the UK's leading portal for Shared Ownership homes, comments: "Deposits are among the biggest stumbling blocks for buyers trying to get on the property ladder today. Because of the massive gulf in deposit sizes between one, two- and three- bedroom properties, many buyers are left with an unacceptable choice – postpone jumping on the ladder or settle for a smaller home than they may want or need. By allowing buyers to purchase a share in their home, rather than buying outright, Shared Ownership lightens the burden of a deposit and makes it easier for buyers to snap up the right property for them."

Patti lives in a pretty house with several cats and her nice husband. Every cat has a big personality and one will not cohabit, so he is king of the garage. Every day Patti puts all the other cats in their room and brings Kiwi out to play. Kiwi has green eyes and is Jan's bud.
Kiwi on one of my scrappy quilts
Some of the kitties escaped to wander the world one day. What to do? Cats do not take to calling or herding, we all know. Quick as a wink Patti turned on the sprinklers and appeared at the back door saying "Danger! Danger! Danger!" They all know now Danger! means get back to Patti as fast as you can.
Of course she feeds all the wildlife. Every bird. Every rodent. God forbid a chipmunk or a squirrel perish if Patti can help it. I could not put her deer in that last sentence, as they are ruminates. And, as they can start higher and eat my rose bushes to the ground, and then eat the roots, I suppose they need a separate sentence. I will not mention we have too many in our neighborhood.
We live with a lot of trees, many of them oaks. The acorns peppering onto the deck caught Patti's attention one year. "Acorns! Acorns!" There are no oaks in her yard. She took home a big bag to feed her charges. She came back for more. As we had visiting grandchildren that weekend, closer to the ground, we sent them to gather a bushel of acorns for Patti.
She keeps them in the freezer (kills bugs, she says), and doles out a measure year round to her coterie. I have a mental picture of Bambi's woodsy friends shyly approaching.
Grandchildren have been available the last several years for Patti's acorn harvest. This morning Jan and I were on the deck and a breeze brought down a bonanza. Instinctively we started picking them up. I went in and got a container. Half an hour later we looked at each other. Who's nuts?

Answer: Yes.
The latest viral challenge sweeping the Internet, the #BottleCapChallenge involves removing the screw-on cap of a bottle by roundhouse kicking it without knocking the whole thing over. And, of course, you must video it and share the evidence of your success, or failure, with the masses on the Web.
A team of researchers at MIT has put their own spin on this latest viral trend, training a robot to take on the challenge. Because it doesn't have legs, the bot, dubbed Baxter, can't do the full kick, but it can mimic a human being doing a version of it with their hand.
Baxter was designed to mimic people's muscle movements in order to help them lift objects, so all he has to do is watch a team member do the #BottleCapChallenge and then follow suit with equal success.

MEDIA RELEASE – 31 July 2012
Top 100 company welcomes Christchurch CBD blueprint
The blueprint for the development of Christchurch's CBD has been welcomed by one of New Zealand's biggest agricultural companies.
Westland Milk Products says the design future for Christchurch will make it easier to retain and attract the talent the company needs to help it accelerate growth in international markets as an innovative producer of specialist dairy products.

Turning The Tables: Hungarian Government Wants a Bailout From Banks
October 24, 2008
Not waiting until the banks will plea for government bailout, the cornered government turned the tables in a preemptive threat to the banks: give your money before we start to legislate against you.
Hungary has not had a mortgage crisis yet, but the country's public finances are a mess. Since the accession to the European Union the country had no chance to enter the ERM-II and start the adoption of the euro, so its very open, free-trading economy has to do with the forint. The government had excessive deficits since 2002, crowding out everybody else from the credit market and pushing up interest rates a few percentage points above the euro rate. The Hungarian families, hoping to pay back some time in euros, started to take out their mortgages in euros and Swiss francs, which just suited their banks fine, who happened to have Western European owners, and could easily find loanable funds abroad than in cash-strapped Hungary. Everybody had to sign a paper that he or she understood the risks involved: if the forint stumbles, mortage rates will be high.
During the crisis the Hungarian forint was struck heavily, the summer 1:240 euro rates are down to 1:286 and the households should have to pay for the downside of the former deal. Not so, thought the government, which threatened the banks to force them by legislation to free the households from the exchange rate risk at the bank's cost. So, the bank should pay either from the money earned on those who did not expose them to euro or franc risk and took out their mortgages in forints, or from the stockholder's money. The stocks of largest bank on the Hungarian market already trades below its book value.
Hungary has had a public deficit criss, not a banking crisis. We will see if we can swap them.Author : Dániel Antal

Immigrants who were brought into the United States as children and enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program signed into law an executive order in 2012 by former President Obama have until Thursday of next week (October 5th) to file renewal requests.
This comes after President Donald Trump on September 5th announced the expiration of the program.
Recipients whose DACA and work authorizations expire between September 5th, 2017 and March 8th, 2018 have until October 5th to submit their renewals.
Only renewal applications are being accepted until the October 5th deadline. Applications for new enrollees are not being accepted.
Those whose authorizations expired before September 5th or whose authorizations expire after March 8th of next year are not eligible to renew.
"Individuals with DACA and associated work authorization that expire after March 5, 2018, are no longer eligible to submit a renewal request. However, their current DACA and work authorization will remain valid until they expire, unless otherwise terminated or revoked," USCIS said.
DACA was signed into law as an executive order in 2009 by President Barack Obama to protect immigrants brought into the country as young children (under the age of 16) by their parents from deportation and grant them work permits. So far about 800,000 young immigrants - so-called dreamers - have enrolled into the program.
President Trump announced he was terminating the program, which he referred to as a form of amnesty throughout his presidential campaign. He has asked Congress to come up with a permanent solution for the DACA recipients. Absence of a new law from Congress or new executive order by President Trump, current DACA recipients will lose authorization to work legally in the United States. They will also become eligible for deportation.
Immigration rights advocates have termed the move by the Trump administration as cruel, saying terminating the program will allow young immigrants to be sent back to countries they barely remember, when in some cases they don't even speak the language.
