Hidden Toxins Lurking in Your Household Products
Everyone loves a clean home that smells like spring. The household cleaning market is steadily increasing from one year to the next. Yet, most products are highly controversial. Your favorite detergent, soap, or air freshener & skin care products might contain dangerous chemicals that put your health at risk.
According to CNN, everyday products used in most households are the culprit behind ADHD, autism, infertility, and even cancer. The chemicals found in these formulas disrupt thyroid function and weaken immunity. Over time, they build up in your system, causing a myriad of side effects.
Let's take a look at the most harmful toxins lurking in household products:
This chemical is used in all-purpose cleaners, glass and window cleaners, drain cleaners, and shining waxes. It's highly toxic and may cause skin rashes, eye irritation, or burns. When inhaled, it affects your lungs and contributes to respiratory disorders.
Phthalates are found in just any product that smells nice. Perfumes, dish soap, air fresheners, shampoos, and detergents contain this ingredient in large amounts.
According to health experts, phthalates disrupt the endocrine system and damage the lungs, kidneys, and liver. They are absorbed through the skin and spread throughout the entire body. Children are the most vulnerable to their side effects.
To stay safe, use organic or fragrance-free household products. Better yet, make your own products using natural ingredients.
Antibacterial soaps and detergents are high in triclosan, a chemical that destroys germs. The downside is that it weakens your immune system and promotes the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
If you fear germs, stick to alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Check the labels to make sure triclosan isn't on the ingredient list.
Alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEs)
These chemicals have been shown to cause breast cancer in mice. They're widely used in most cleaners and detergents and can be easily inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Due to their estrogen-like properties, they promote tumor growth and cause hormonal imbalances. For this reason, APEs are considered hormone disruptors.
Another common offender is chlorine, an ingredient found in household tap water, laundry whiteners, and cleaning formulas. It's considered a dangerous thyroid disruptor and affects your health on the long term. This chemical has been linked to dementia, asthma, eye irritation, chest pain, and hormonal disorders.
Household products make our life easier. Unfortunately, their risks often outweigh the benefits. If you care about your health. And removing toxins from our body, Your future self will thank you.

"For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered" (1 Corinthians 11:6).
Anciently women did not go abroad with uncovered heads, therefore, it was regarded as a disgrace to a woman and to her husband if she should appear publicly without a veil, especially in the capacity of a leader of worship. For a woman at Corinth to take public part in the services of the church with her head uncovered would give the impression that she acted shamelessly and immodestly, without the adorning of shame-facedness and sobriety (1 Tim. 2:9). Paul reasoned that by thus discarding the veil, a recognized emblem of her sex and position, she shows a lack of respect for husband, father, the female sex in general, and Christ.
It was also customary for Jewish, Greek, and Roman males to wear short hair at that time. Among the Israelites it was looked upon as disgraceful for a man to have long hair, with the exception of one who had taken a vow as a Nazirite.
Short hair was sometimes the mark of a woman of poor repute, thus a Corinthian woman who took a part in the public services of the church with her head uncovered might be regarded as having put herself on the same level as a low, perhaps lewd, woman.
if a woman wanted to act like a man, she ought, in order to be consistent, to cut her hair after the fashion of men. But such a course would be regarded as disgraceful. Therefore, Paul said she should be properly veiled. Today, in worship, the underlying principle should be "whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31) respecting the customs of society and culture.

The relationship between food and DNA is quite tight but surprisingly DNA can enter our kitchen as an extra ingredient too. Just follow this simple recipe-tutorial and with a little bit of alcohol and pineapple juice you'll get a glass full of DNA.
First, you need some organic material as the source of DNA… and plants like strawberries or banana work the best. Why? Because their cells are 1) relatively easy to smash favoring the release of the DNA hidden inside the nuclei and 2) contain a large amount of DNA. Indeed, both the fruits, as many other plants, are polyploidy: they have multiple copies of a set of chromosomes. For example, while humans have only two copies of a set of 23 chromosomes, the banana has 3 copies of a set of 11 and the strawberry 8 copies of a set of 7 … That's a lot of DNA! In addition, as a special assistant in the kitchen equipment, we need Bromelain, an enzyme in the pineapple juice that untangles the strains of DNA allowing them to freely float in water. Finally, it comes in handy to add a little bit of alcohol at high %. This adds a sparkle to the juicy extract but also it helps the DNA to aggregate, forming a fuzzy bubble visible to human eye.
Sounds tasty? At least now you can have a toast with DNA!

Metro Source Media Networks, Inc.
(Portland, OR) -- Portland and Multnomah County leaders are vowing the city and county governments will convert 100-percent to clean, fossil-fuel-free energy by the year 2050. Officials say the goal is to provide the community's electricity through renewable resources by 2035, with all other energy resources shifting to renewables by 2050. Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler says while the plan is ambitious, "we have a responsibility to lead this effort in Oregon." The Portland Development Commission says the shift to clean energy has created an economic boost for the area.

And why do I care? Because I'm making an art piece for Stretching Art, the twentieth such exhibition they have sponsored. And the theme is "Twenty." Anything themed on the number or idea of 20, or XX. And that relates to carrots as follows: When I visited India in 2014 with my granddaughter, I bought a charming piece of handprinted cotton with carrots on it. The next day in Varanasi (I think) we saw multicolored carrots on display in the food market. I had never seen purple carrots before; they were so gorgeous next to the orange and yellowish ones. Thus I knew one day I would make a carrot quilt.
It is called "XX CAROTAE" or 20 Carrots. You can see the vertical orange carrots printed over the botanical swirly ground. The twenty featured carrots are appliqued and quilted, their feathery leaves embroidered in various simple stitches. I also quilted the printed carrots around the edges.
The next decision was, what to do about the background--leave it alone? Machine quilt in some sort of pattern? Hand-stitch? I finally chose to add French knots in white string; these aren't obtrusive on the white ground, and add some texture while holding the three layers together nicely. I started on that last night.
Today I stitched on a binding,which I'll finish soon. Then the rest of the French knots and a label. This has come together in about three days. It's funny; once the concept jells I feel compelled to get to work right away. I used to tell Pat, "Don't bother me, I'm on a roll." And he would just shrug, order pizza for supper and leave me to it. I so appreciated that.
So: Veinte Zanahorias
Vingt Carrottes
Twenty Carrots (or Carats, I guess)

Stick a Fork in Trustify- Danny Boice and Jen Mellon are Toast
You can mark this day… stick a fork in Trustify… it's done. Danny Boice & Jen Mellon are toast. In the past few weeks, publicity hound, Jen Mellon, took down her Twitter page. Then Jen Mellon who goes through men faster than grass goes through a goose moved out of her home with Danny and back in with her ex-husband Eli (make sure you check this post on Jen's revolving door love life).
Meanwhile, vendors are not getting paid, including lawyers. Just look at this email out from this angry Harvard Student hired via upwork to do research for Danny. This email shows the researcher is seeking satisfaction from the sleazy couple. Yes, Stick a fork in Trustify, Danny Boice and Jen Mellon are Toast
From: Amit
Date: Sat, Sep 29, 2018 at 9:59 AM
Subject: Final settlement offer re: delinquent invoice
To: <[email protected]>
To Daniel Keith Boice, CEO of Trustify, Inc.:
This is a pre-suit settlement offer regarding the delinquent invoice for $419.21 owed to me by your company, Trustify, Inc., for services rendered in your child custody case under the written supervision of your personal attorney, Craig White. As you recall, I contacted you directly and your chief of staff, Elizabeth Klimp Magney, four times regarding your overdue invoice over a period of three weeks. On my fourth request for payment, I was removed from the Slack and ignored thereafter.
I am very disappointed in your refusal to pay me for services rendered. One would think that $420 would barely be a footnote of an invoice for you. However, what's stunning is that you have taken the even more irresponsible step of providing full access to all of your corporate and personal emails, company documents, etc., to a contractor that you intended to rip off from the start. It's also particularly concerning that you appear to be litigating your personal child custody case with your company's resources, promising to pay me from the company account, and then seem to be willing to risk spending thousands of dollars in legal fees from the company's pocket – all to avoid paying a random freelancer $420.
But most egregiously, you also handed me a huge amount of employee information, including I-9 documents – i.e., social security cards and driver's licenses. I was compelled to destroy these immediately, but if this is how you handle sensitive employee data with regards to people you want to defraud, I cannot imagine the security risk your management poses to their safety.
With regards to your outstanding invoice, please make payment of the sum of $800, the remaining amount compensating for my efforts at collection, immediately, or I will file suit against you, Elizabeth Klimp Magney and Trustify, Inc. I don't know and don't care which one of you is responsible – though you hid behind the corporation, you're personally liable for fraud, and you're all probably severally liable for civil conspiracy – so I'll have the N.D. Cal. sort it out when I sue you under the CFAA's civil cause of action at 18 U.S.C. § 1030(g) and assert supplemental jurisdiction for a treble damages and a punitive damages claim under California law. This offer does not include any general release, confidentiality agreement, non-disparagement agreement, non-disclosure agreement or any other agreement but the release of my specific claims arising out of nonpayment against those three entities.
I understand that you have a habit of screwing investors and other assorted elements of the employing class over, what with Speek and the College Board and God knows what else. Seriously, I get it. For a hundred thousand dollars or so, a million or so, sure, why not – I'd never do it myself, but I can imagine it being a temptation for the morally weak. But for four hundred dollars? I am absolutely astounded at your complete lack of judgment, and I am ashamed to be graduating from the same institution you claim to have attended. I don't care if you have some kind of childlike fantasy of being a criminal mastermind, masterfully cheating pennies out of orphans, but stick to picking on people your own size.

|The Patricia Routledge National English Song Competition 2019
Final Result
The final of this year's Senior Prize took place at St Marylebone Parish Church and the AESS is
grateful to the Rector and his staff for their help and support. Thanks too to the Director of Music,
Gavin Roberts who is an AESS committee member.
A record number of people attended the final and they greatly enjoyed the five singers and their
pianists who performed twenty minute themed programmes of English art songs, poetry and prose of their own devising.
Former winner, Barbara O Neill, explained how the judges arrived at their decision and what they
were looking for, particularly an ability to inhabit the material at hand and convey the full emotional gamut to the audience.
Dame Patricia commended everyone for the hard work of planning and rehearsing the
programmes. She spoke of the need to be able to work spontaneously with a new and sometimes
difficult acoustic.
Chariman, Sarah Leonard, announced the winners:
First Prize of £2,000 Milly Forrest
Joint Second Prize of £1,000 each Siân Dicker & Laurence Williams
Pianist's Prize of £1,000 Cameron Richardson-Eames
Congratulations to them and thanks to everyone who entered the competition for helping the AESS in its core aim which is 'to encourage the communication of English words, in singing and speech, with clarity, understanding and imagination'.
The programme: 1 & 2
Our thanks to the judges of both rounds:
Jane Roberson, Patricia Williams, Sarah Leonard
Sally Burgess, Julia Dewhurst, Barbara O Neill, Stephen Gutman, Brian Parsons
Thanks to Lynda Morgan for her practical help

Darnley's Spiced Gin - 70cl - 42.7% ABV
An earthy, dusty and slightly curried juniper rises to the fore. Close your eyes, breathe deep and sense the tropics; not the mangos and coconuts tropics, but the big green jungles of Sri Lanka et al. As with Darnley's Original, this is an easy sipper - it tiptoes onto the tongue with a delicate grace, warming the palate but bringing no burn. It's complex and delicious, perfect Negroni material.

I went out for dinner last night with a friend, and I forgot to eat my fortune cookie.
So I tossed it in my bag and forgot about it.
Fast forward to tonight: It's 10:30 and dinner is still in the oven. I'm starving. I see the fortune cookie sitting on the counter, where I had tossed it this morning.
You know how one is supposed to read a fortune.
Mine says, " Something special will happen at home soon..." in bed.
I can only hope that it doesn't mean another impressive hairball incident.

At some point I'm going to have to stop apologising for how scarcely I update this blog. The unfortunate reality is that life happens and recreational activities, like writing this blog, sometimes have to be put on the back burner. I absolutely love sharing my recipes with you but don't always have the time to sit down and write it up. With that being said, I've increased my effort to keep my socials updated so if you don't follow me on Facebook or instagram now is a good time to start! You'll find lots of pretty and inspiring food photos and a few gems of nutritional information.
Without further ado, let's talk about Meatballs!
You might have seen that Woolworths has introduced this innovative new product
Subsequently, the world went absolutely mad. Vegans and vegetarians everywhere rejoiced while liberal and national members of the government got themselves in a right tizzy working alongside the National Farmers Federation to be more like France who recently banned the usage of "meat and dairy words" to describe plant-based products. How that applies to "mince" still baffles me, as Rosemary Stanton so eloquently put it "mince is a process, not a product".
AAANYway. This product is truly revolutionary in terms of vegan alternatives, it looks, feels, and operates like beef mince which allows you to convert your old mince recipes to vegan recipes with no fuss. The first thing I made with it was a classic bolognese, cliche, but delicious. But the second thing I made, was something I'm yet to see anyone else make (although I'm sure they have because this product has existed in Scandinavian countries for yonks). So I'm here to share it with you.
Lots of poor-quality phone photos incoming!
Now for the recipe (adapted from The Recipe Critic):
- 1 pack of Funky Fields Minced
- ¼ cup panko bread crumbs (read the label, breadcrumbs often contain fish. Whyyyyyyy? I get these)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ cup onion, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- Pepper to taste, skip the salt in this one as the mince is already salted
- 1 flax egg
- 1 Tbsp ground flax
- 2 1/2 Tbsp Water
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 5 tbsp Nuttelex Buttery
- 3 tbsp Plain flour
- 2 cups beef stock (2x massels stock cubes + 500ml water)
- 1 cup cashew cream
- 50g cashews
- 250ml water (boiled for speedy method)
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- Soak your cashews. Cover them in boiling water and wait. In about 1 hour they will have absorbed a lot of water and will have a soft texture and look as if they've expanded a bit. Soaking ensures a smooth creamy blend.
- Prepare your flax egg, mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside until it forms a gel
- In a large bowl combine your mince, bread crumbs, parsley, spices, and flax egg. Get your hands in there and mix it around until it's well combined
- Roll into even sized balls. I made around 20
- Add olive oil and 1 tbsp butter, and meatballs to a cold pan and bring up to medium heat. Cook, turning occasionally until the surface has a brown crust (the insides will still be pink, this doesn't change)
- Remove meatballs and cover with foil
- In the same pan make the gravy, add the flour and the remaining 4tbsp of butter and cook your roux until it's browning. Slowly add the stock, continuously whisking to prevent lumps.
- Meanwhile, blend your cashews if you haven't already
- After all the stock has been added, add the mustard and Worcestershire, it will appear very runny but don't fear, mix in your cashew cream and simmer until it's thickened up.
- Add your meatballs back into the gravy and cook for a further 2-3 minutes until it's all nice and warm.
- Serve with some roast/steamed/mashed potato and steamed veggies. YUM

Evolution of politics is not through love: A response to Mensah-Williams
Vitalio Angula
"The kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force."
Although the preceding scripture was set in an entirely different context, I will endeavour to reach in an attempt to rebut Margaret Mensah- Williams' assertion that 'the evolution of politics is through love' as published in the New Era on 15 February 2019 - ironically a day after the day of St Valentine.
The Kumbaya approach of singing 'we shall overcome' whenever faced with the insurmountable problems of disenfranchisement and social exclusion has never served Africans well in the past, neither will it serve us well in the present.
The words, "The world suffers violence and the violent take it by force" has context in the struggle for Namibia's independence where, had it not been for the violent armed struggle waged by the People's Liberation Army of Namibia, Namibia's independence and Apartheid South Africa's illegitimate mandate of the territory would have been delayed further past 1990.
It is through violent armed struggle that negotiations for Namibia's independence began to bear fruit and if need be it will be through violent struggle that Namibia will begin to move towards a greater equitable distribution of the country's resources such as land, access to opportunity and social mobility.
The wide economic divide between the haves and have nots, measured using the Gini co-efficient, ranks Namibia as the third most unequal country in the world.
Inequality is a result of a government and leadership that is out of touch with the lived realities of the everyday Namibian experience because it has not done enough to uplift those still at the bottom of the social economic ladder. A leadership that preaches love when the majorities are hungry and screaming 'give us land or food!'
The Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of human needs that places food, clothes and shelter as the basic motivation for human beings cannot be taken as an absolute given and should not be mistakenly used as Mensah-Williams does when she asserts that "human beings exist to live a fruitful and victorious life".
The Pentecostal approach of prayer as a solution to Namibia's developmental challenges is delusional and Mensah-Williams as an authority should exercise restraint and distinguish between her personal beliefs when commenting on serious matters in the public space.
Religion has its place in the churches and mosques but in public discourse it should only be consumed in limited doses. Religion never served the poor well except for telling them to accept their lot and await a better day and a reward in heaven, as she asserts in her article that "the masses should remain calm and dignified instead of being drunk and dizzy with anger".
Anger is justified in the face of oppression and cannot be downplayed as a rude response to draw the attention of those who ignore the needs of the majority. Anger births violence and violence has proven to be an effective response for the downtrodden to get their fair share of the national cake.
Problems are problems and Mensah-Williams should not be condescending in her approach to interest groups by seeking to distinguish between real problems and fake ones. Every individual's problems are the worse for them. Problems are best felt by the beholder.
Mensah-Williams posits that "as leaders on all levels of government we are committed to poverty alleviation…..". The argument in itself is fallacious and devoid of any truth. It would be safer for her to speak for herself and say she is committed to addressing unemployment, gender-based violence, etc.
Leaders at different levels in government are committed to getting a salary, a tender, a house, a car, a wife, a farm, a position and membership to the higher echelons of society.
Different people are motivated by different things but what is required from government leaders should be a commitment to serve in the interests of the people. Part of service entails listening to other people's viewpoints, even those who you may not like because of their insults and lack of a good early childhood instruction. Part of serving in elected positions is acknowledging that the state can do better and should do better.
To ignore the urgency with which the poor and marginalised demand social inclusion is to ignore that it only takes one villain to channel his anger and hatred into a movement of sorts that has the potential to ignite a fire that will not be as easy to put out.
It is well intended to write and persuade the masses to refrain from insulting leaders, but humans work in the manner that when your pleading seems to be failing, you rely on insults. What comes after insults may be violence, a situation we must avoid at all cost.

Renovation does not necessarily have to do with change. With just a little creativity, undoubtedly the interior space in your dream home can be realized soon. Like for example the look of the kitchen that you feel is very boring.
- Recolor kitchen cabinets
To make it fresh again, there are actually many easy and inexpensive ways to follow. One of them by painting a wall in the kitchen and recolor kitchen cabinets with a more attractive color. It can be done if the cabinets is knotty alder kitchen cabinets. Alternatively, the kitchen needs to be stuffed with some small pots containing herbs on display by hanging or placed near a window. In addition to beautify the kitchen because of the fresh green leaves, herbs are also useful for complementary flavor of cooking. If both of you have done but the kitchen still looks monotonous, there may be one element that escaped the attention, namely the cabinet. However, choosing the type of kitchen cabinets for your kitchen is not as easy as imagined. The following material variations must be known in detail, so you will not regret it later.
- Classic wood cabinets
Classic wooden cabinets, in Indonesia, wood cabinets circulating in furniture outlets are generally layered veneer, while the average door material uses solid wood. By displaying a beautiful pattern of wood fiber, veneer is able to appear more natural than other materials. Interestingly, this material can be used on a wide surface, curved, twisted or for difficult corners. Wood can be regarded as the best material for this knotty alder kitchen cabinets, because it is suitable with any condition and more durable. Especially for those who want a kitchen of classical nuances.
- Wood as eco-friendly cabinets
Wood as eco-friendly cabinets, most type of kitchen cabinets are made of Particle Board that use Urea-Formaldehyde in the process of manufacture. This is one example of resin that was very dangerous for the health of the inhabitants of the house. Its resistance to moisture, especially when combined with the heat of the cooking activity, can trigger a backlash and release an imperfect monomer. It is this monomer that spreads toxins, potentially causing cancer for family members. Therefore, we recommend considering the use of environmentally friendly knotty alder kitchen cabinets for your kitchen. For example, easily renewable recycled materials such as bamboo.

Lizzo and Charli XCX to release collaboration this week
Lizzo is releasing a song with Charli XCX this week.
The 'Boom Clap' hitmaker took to Instagram to share her excitement about the as-yet-untitled collaboration and joked that her fans should "prep [her] grave" because she's so happy to have landed the dream gig.
Alongside a Polaroid-style picture with the sassy 'Juice' hitmaker, Charli teased: "IMAGINE IF I MADE A SONG WITH @LIZZOBEEATING AKA THE QUEEN OF EVERYTHING - WOULD U DIE??? I WOULD DIEEEEEEEE!!! PREP MY GRAVE ASAP WE GOT A BOP COMING THIS WEEK. SPAM ME WITH LOVEEEEE ANGELS!!!! (sic)"
There is no official release date for the track yet, but it will mark the first music from Charli since October's '1999′ featuring Troye Sivan.
Whilst Lizzo released her debut album 'Cuz I Love You' to critical acclaim last month.
Meanwhile, the British pop star recently apologised to fans for the wait for new music - but promised the new material is her "best yet".
The 'Boys' hitmaker logged onto to Twitter to share an update on her long-awaited new tunes and teased that they will be a continuation of her popular mixtape 'Pop 2' and "even more Charli" with "no compromises".
She wrote: "just so you know angels - i am working on new music and things are coming this year. i know i'm slow sometimes but i want things perfect. this new era will be all things Charli. kind of a continuation of pop 2 but also more Charli than ever before. no compromises, my best yet. (sic)"
At the beginning of the year, the 26-year-old pop star vowed to release a new album this year.
The '5 in the Morning' singer had initially told fans last year that she would make her first record since 2014′s 'Sucker' if '1999′ went into the top 10.
And she later told her loyal following it's "about time" she releases her next the full-length effort.
Sharing her New Year's Resolutions written on an iPhone Note, which read: "New Years Resolutions:
"1. Make an album
"2. Release it (sic)", she captioned the Twitter post: "about time, right?? (sic)"
Charli was blown away by how well 2018′s '1999′, which features Troye Sivan, performed in the charts - it peaked at number 13 in UK - and had said she planned on rewarding her fans, known as her Angels, by dropping her first studio album in five years, if the track shifted two places up.
Sharing a link to download the track, Charli tweeted in December: "UMMM ANGELS WTF?! IF THIS GOES TOP 10 I'LL MAKE ANOTHER ALBUM AND DROP IT NEXT YEAR. https://ad.gt/1999 (sic)"

This Must Be One Of The Best First-Gen MX-5s You Can Buy Right Now
It's undergone a full restoration, is packing 400bhp and has an extensive list of modifications
The Mazda MX-5 is best thought of as a blank canvas. A front-engined, rear-wheel drive starting point for the project car of your dreams.
So prolific is the aftermarket MX-5 scene, however, that you don't necessarily have to do the work yourself: there are all kinds of massively modded Miatas out there to choose from. Like this one.
If the MX-5 is a blank canvas, then this one is a meticulously painted masterpiece. It's an 'NA' first-gen Miata with one hell of a spec, with two numbers grabbing our attention first: 409bhp and 365lb ft of torque.
This is developed from the car's inline-four thanks to a Garrett GT3076R turbocharger running at 1.5 bar, although the seller claims the engine is capable of "much more". At 2 bar, it'll apparently be good for more like 500bhp.
With its upgraded valve springs, the engine is said to be capable of revving to 9000rpm, although it's currently making peak power at a still very zingy 8000rpm. The overbored block runs JE Pistons, while the cylinder head is from the NB-generation MX-5. Finishing off proceedings nicely is a Mazda 323 rocker cover with 'universe paint'.
To make sure that power actually goes to the road rather than just generating large clouds of smoke, there's a Torsen limited-slip differential at the back, and Toyo Proxes R888R semi-slick tyres sitting at each corner.
Thankfully, the NA's soft and roll-happy chassis hasn't been left alone. It has a full polybush kit plus HSD Dualtech performance coilovers, and to make sure it stops promptly, it's received a big brake kit plus slotted discs and EBC Yellow Stuff pads.
If you want an MX-5 that flies under the radar, this probably isn't one for you. It's been given a wide-arch conversion, various aero parts, and a striking 'Advan' livery. Our favourite exterior feature? That'd be the ducktail spoiler. On the inside, meanwhile, you'll find Sparco Sprint bucket seats, Takata harnesses and a Nardi steering wheel.
It's also been extensively restored and had the underside given a rust prevention treatment. Ask our video chief Alex and he'll tell you why that's a very good thing for an NA…
The price for all this? £15,000, which might seem like a lot for a first-gen MX-5, but we can easily see the owner having spent much, much more getting the car to where it is today. In terms of what's been done to it, we've only just scratched the surface, so we recommend taking a look at the brilliantly detailed classifieds advert.

Two upcoming programs in San Luis Obispo will tackle an important issue for the Central Coast — how to get improved air service to aid business travel and advance economic development.
RRM Design Group is hosting two meetings — one in the morning on Sept. 17, and another in the afternoon on the same day, to update business and community leaders on the state of the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport. Also discussed will be plans for future development, including the effort to gain non-stop service between SLO and Denver International Airport.
The program is being developed by the airport and the Economic Vitality Corp., which previously collaborated on a $500,000 federal grant and a market analysis that will no doubt inform the Sept. 17 programs.
We'll grant that the SLO Regional Airport has come a long way since 2008, when it lost 90 percent of its service and the future looked grim. However, gaining more flights into SLO is not an easy task.
One of the region's knottiest problems is that both San Luis Obispo and Santa Maria have airports with viable airfields but populations that are relatively small when it comes to supporting air service.
Santa Maria has the edge on population — it is much bigger than San Luis Obispo and it can draw flyers easily from south SLO County. Santa Maria may also be the superior location for leisure travel, with Las Vegas and more recently Hawaii being added as destinations.
SLO's airport gets a lift from nearby Cal Poly, from a growing number of medium-sized tech companies in the county, and from the county's food-and-wine-centric tourism scene.
Some experts believe this is an either/or situation and it's true that if one city gets a Denver flight, the other may have to wait years or perhaps decades before it can go back to test the waters again.
We learned long ago that when it comes to picking winners in the arena of aviation, or anything else for that matter, the marketplace speaks with a more powerful voice than just about anything else.
No RSVP is required for the Sept. 17 meetings, which are in the RRM training room at 3765 S. Higuera St. in SLO. The morning session runs from 9-10 a.m. and the afternoon session from 4-5 p.m. If you have questions, contact Phil D'Acri of the SLO County Regional Airport at (805) 781-5218 or [email protected]
We think increased air service for the Central Coast — an area that is increasingly powerful magnet for tourism, tech firms, wineries and agribusiness — is an important goal, and we're glad to see it rise to the top of the economic development agenda.

Antoine Griezmann picked up a "muscle injury in the quadriceps of his right leg" during Barcelona's 1-0 win over Real Valladolid in La Liga on Saturday.
Lionel Messi teed up Arturo Vidal's winner to become the first player to provide 20 assists in Spain's top flight since Xavi Hernandez in 2009.
Arturo Vidal, who joined Barcelona in 2018, has been linked with a move to Serie A club Inter Milan.
Barcelona are second in the La Liga table, two points behind Real Madrid, following their 4-0 win over Sevilla at Camp Nou.
Barcelona's victory means they stretch their lead at the top of the table to 11 points over Atletico Madrid, and 18 ahead of Real Madrid.
Lionel Messi blazed a penalty over the bar in the shoot-out before Lucas Biglia missed to leave Chile's Francisco Silva with the task of stroking home the winning spot-kick at the MetLife Stadium.
While Chile are the defending champions, having won the 2015 edition, Mexico are in with a chance to clinch their maiden Copa America title in the 100th year of the tournament.
Arturo Vidal scored a controversial penalty in extra time as Chile defeated Bolivia 2-1 in a dramatic Copa America match to keep their knock-out hopes alive
Arturo Vidal scored inside two minutes to take Bayern Munich to a 1-0 win over Benfica in UEFA Champions League
Bayern Munich's director of sport Mathias Sammer threatened to take legal action over reports that Arturo Vidal has an alcohol problem. He also defended Pep Guardiola's decision to leave the club
Midfielder Arturo Vidal and forward Alexis Sanchez have not trained and have only done recovery work with the medics.
Bayern Munich regained top spot in the Bundesliga table with a 3-0 win over 12th placed team Darmstadt.
The Copa America-winner himself moved to Allianz Arena from Juventus for a fee of 40 million euros ($45.7 million) in July. The 28-year-old admitted few players are worth the bloated transfer fees, claiming it puts enormous pressure on them.
Bayern Munich had already announced that they had convinced Juventus of the deal but Arturo Vidal had to pass the medical on Tuesday before signing the dotted line.
Bayern Munich were beaten 5-4 on penalties by Chinese champions Guangzhou Evergrande after a goalless friendly
Bayern Munich are set to pay around 35 million euros for Arturo Vidal, who will leave Juventus after four successful years.
Bayern Munich have identified the 28-year-old Arturo Vidal as the ideal replacement for the departed Bastian Schweinsteiger, who left for English club Manchester United, and are pursuing the Chile international. Vidal has earlier played in Germany for club Bayer Leverkusen from 2007 to 2011.
Bayern Munich wanted to rope in Arturo Vidal four years ago after he left another German team Bayern Leverkusen but the latter did not allow him to join their rivals.

Well, tonight was an exception. Everything started off pleasantly enough; we were seated quickly, our waiter was fairly polite and attentive, and things sounded good. I ordered the eggplant linguine with crab meat, chopped tomatoes, baby artichokes, and a light cream sauce. (I made one slight change, and asked them to substitute the eggplant linguine for spinach linguine. I know flavored linguines don't really have much flavor, mostly just color, but whatever.) Sounds good, right? It should've been.
The thing is, it came out, looking good, and smelling good, and on initial taste, tasting good. And then I stabbed a piece of crab meat with my fork and... it... unrolled. I looked at it, perplexed, and then unbelieving, and ate it. What? I tried another. Same thing. It was imitation crab meat. Yeah. FAKE crab meat.
I dug around, and there were a few bits of real crab meat... maybe, oh, a teaspoon-full's worth scattered around the entire plate. Meanwhile, there were many, many... chunks... of the rubbery, fake, pretty nasty fake stuff. The fact that there was a little bit of real crab meat just made it even more ridiculous, as even an idiot would've been able to taste, see, and feel the difference between the two. (For one thing, real crab meat doesn't come in rolled up "sheets" of "meat".)
The waiter came over and asked how things were, and I told him there was fake crab meat in my meal. And I showed him. He was a bit surprised, or at least did a decent job of feigning it, and said he'd go ask the manager.
So he walked the three feet to where the manager was sitting at one of the tables, talking to (presumably) a table of her friends. She said something to him (I couldn't hear what they said), and he came back a minute later and said the manager would be out in a minute. (Out? Out? She's sitting right there ignoring he clientele while she chats up her buds!)
I waited a minute. And another minute. And so on and so forth, until the meal was over. Not once was it acknowledged, the bill wasn't adjusted (and that meal - fake crab and all - was $16, which is just a couple bucks shy of the lobster/pasta special I had last time I went - which was real lobster), and she didn't even turn her head once to look and see what was going on. After grimacing a bit, trying to decide what to do, I settled on this: I wrote a note on the back of the bill pointing out what just happened, and then decided to write this up.
So, while I've recommended it in the past, I can't recommend Cara Mia any more. My meal was bad, the manager's response was appalling, and the price (at least on my dish) was way too high. (Plus the sodas were $2.50 each, and they were small. Minor gripe, but when I already feel like I'm getting gypped, it just adds insult to injury.) So, if you're in the neighborhood and considering Cara Mia, keep on walking. You can do better, and they don't deserve the business.

Nature's power doesn't always come in the form of snowstorms and hurricanes. Sometimes it's a lot smaller, and can really stink.
Hagerman, New Mexico is currently dealing with a yearly skunk invasion. The small black and white mephitidae's are causing a big problem for residents of this small town who have found them, in alarming numbers, under their homes and in their backyards.
While skunks aren't frequently seen in Hagerman because they are nocturnal, they can create horrible smells in homes and buildings where people are trying to sleep and work.
"It's quite odorful, it's a rude awakening at times," said Cathey Haley, a Hagerman resident who has had a skunk living underneath her home. "When a skunk lets go right underneath your house or right under your bed, it makes for a very interesting night of sleep, or lack thereof."
Skunks were once rare in in Hagerman, a town of about 1,200 residents. But now skunk carcasses are strewn all over the town's streets. Drive down any street and there are one or two dead skunks on roadways. One street was sprinkled with four lifeless skunks.
"We're finding a bunch of dead ones on the road almost nightly now in the spring and summertime. In the winter not so much," said Officer Adam Chavez of the Hagerman Police Department.
The skunks are a problem because the critters could bite pets and infect them with rabies.
Hagerman police have received eight calls for skunks so far this year, compared to just two all of last year. Police said the problem normally arrives in the spring, but has started in the late winter this year because skunks are coming out of their idle stage earlier.
The police set traps to catch the skunks, and release them outside of town. However, the traps haven't been working as planned this year. So far, they've captured 12 cats, four dogs and a domesticated rabbit – but no skunks.
"It is helping us get control of our animals-at-large issue also," said Hagerman Police Chief Rachelle Bateman.
There are stray and loose cats and dogs running around all over Hagerman. The police entered a partnership with a local animal shelter to help the animals. Cats are spayed or neutered and relocated, dogs are given back to their owners or put up for adoption.
In addition to skunks, Hagerman is also home to many rattlesnakes, which can wander into town.
"As it gets cold at night and heats up during the day, they tend to be out on the asphalt to try and warm up," said Chavez.
Last year, police received nine calls for the deadly reptile. One was found at the high school football field, another at the middle school playground while children were playing.
Chavez said for the safety of the officers and everyone around, they shoot the snakes.
"We don't have the equipment to catch them safely, so usually the rattle snakes are destroyed on site," said Chavez.

DEMAND for potatoes in the build up to Christmas will send an Ilminster factory into overdrive this festive season.
More than 2,000 tonnes of potatoes will be packed and distributed at Branston's Somerset factory in the week leading up to Christmas Day – an increase of 73 per cent on the average week at the site.
As demand soars for one of the nation's favourite components to Christmas dinner, more than 16.2 million packs of potatoes will be sold by retailers nationwide during the week leading up to December 25.
Jonathan Taylor, general manager at Branston's Ilminster site in Somerset, said: "Christmas dinner just wouldn't be the same without the roasties and we are in the midst of our very own '12 days of Christmas' countdown. From 13 December we really start to see uplift in demand for potatoes, as families across the country prepare for the festive season.
"In the lead up to the festive season, potato packing jumps from 170 tonnes a day to over 550 tonnes on the peak days in the week before Christmas and our production facility runs around the clock to meet demand."
Research shows that large family gatherings are the norm this festive season with 60 per cent of households intending to cook dinner for six or more people. Less than a third (28 per cent) of households will be eating alone with just one other person.
Jonathan continued: "Your festive dinner would not be the same without some lovely fluffy crisp roasties, so no wonder we have such a surge in sales. King Edward and Maris Piper are the best-known varieties for roasties as they have that fluffy texture that crisps up really well, but all our potatoes will make a great addition to Christmas – whether that's at the main meal or to feed the family throughout the holidays."

Matchstick Monkey Product Review
October 24, 2018
My three month old is in the beginning stages of teething. Crazy, right? My oldest didn't begin teething until seven months! I just noticed a lot of drooling and needing to force her knuckles and fingers into her mouth to suck on them all day long.
I tried the most basic teething toys I had stored from our first born like the cooling teether, but my daughter had zero interest in that. I could not even get her to grip it.
I came across the Matchstick Monkey teething toy and instantly fell in love with its versatility:
- It can be used to help babies teething by soothing their gums.
- It can be used as a toothbrush to help babies and up with their oral hygiene skills.
- It can be used as an applicator by applying pain relief gels, oils, and granules to the bumps on the back of the monkey's head.
I just had to get it for my daughter so Matchstick Monkey was incredibly generous enough to send me two Matchstick Monkey teething toys to try out with my daughter. There are two advertised Matchstick Monkeys on their website: the original and then the dancing monkey.
The original matchstick monkey:
The dancing matchstick monkey:
The differences between the two is that the dancing matchstick monkey has a variety of textures to help soothe your little one's sore gums and is a bit longer in height (14 cm. as opposed to 10.5 cm from the original).
They are both made from BPA free, FDA and CE certified food trade silicone. They are both dishwasher safe.
The products are all incredibly captivating to the eyes because they are bright, and their packaging is stunning.
I requested an original blue monkey and an orange dancing monkey for my daughter Jade, but the company offers so many more colors such as rubine red, pink, light or dark blue, grey, and yellow.
Interestingly enough, my daughter enjoyed the dancing monkey to hold and play with, but she preferred the original monkey in her mouth. I had her test both out during the day, and I noticed she laughed and played with the dancing monkey, but when it came to having something in her mouth, she definitely preferred the original matchstick monkey.
I'm not an expert so I can't say for sure, but my daughter might have enjoyed the original matchstick monkey more because it is less textured and because of its silicone material. My daughter is an exclusively breastfed baby so when she held it, she instantly wanted to suck on the head of the monkey. I believe it reminded her of my breasts for nursing so it was a comfort for her.
Overall, I'm very happy with the products because it is a fun and flexible teething toy that can grow with my daughter. Once her teething phase ends, I can still use the matchstick monkey as an "introductory" toothbrush, which I think is fantastic.
I did worry that the teether would maybe be too big for my daughter to hold because the company does offer a mini version of the dancing monkey as well. However, after opening it and handing it to her personally, she griped all parts of the monkey with little to no help from me or her daddy! I was super pleased but not that surprised either because all parts of the monkey are thin.
I have to give the Matchstick Monkey a five star rating. A very light-weight and versatile teether perfect for my three month old. She chews on her monkeys during the day on the carpet and looks perfectly content. I wish I had come across their company two years ago when I first became a mother.
If your baby is drooling or teething from sore gums, then please consider getting your little one a Matchstick Monkey. This is by far a must-have product.
They have quick and easy international delivery so go to their site at https://www.matchstickmonkey.com and check them out. They are famous for their teething toy, but the company also sells blankets, swaddles, gift sets, and more.

How do you finish a timber slab?
There's something about the smell of timber, the earthy aroma somehow makes you feel good. The majority of people who visit our workshop mention the amazing smell before addressing what they actually came for.
After letting yourself enjoy the scent, you'll notice next our vast array of slabs on display; small large and everything in between, and species from messmate to cypress. Because we salvage all our timber from tree removals, we have a huge number of varieties to choose from.
The Wood Project can supply local timbers such as spotted gum and local sugar gum, salvaged from trees that are more than 100 years old. Imagine the unique character of the timber, it's nothing like spotted gum flooring or plantation timber, which is almost never locally grown. If you'd like to know more about plantation timber, send us a message!
In this post, we want to talk about live edge timber slabs and how you can work with them. The majority of our slabs are milled to 55mm thick. A slab at this thickness takes around two years to dry, however a slab milled at 75mm takes more like four to five years to dry properly, and cannot be kiln dried.
Once a slab is 'dressed' it will typically end up around 50mm thick, which is perfect for working with. Occasionally we'll get asked for thicker slabs – thank you, Pinterest – however thickness seems to be less of an issue once in our workshop – there are so many other choices! Often our customers visit with a particular idea in mind and leave with a completely different colour, size or shape of timber than what they had initially imagined.
A visit to our Hastings workshop is more than likely to set your creativity in motion, you may even walk out with with a new hobby!
All of our slabs have natural ('live') edges still in tact. We love to create live edge furniture for its uniqueness, warmth and character. Of course, it's an option to remove the live edges, but we will always leave them on when milling to give you the option.
How do you flatten a live edge timber slab?
Most of our slabs in the workshop are already 'dressed', that is, put through the industrial sander, and flattened to 60 grit. At this stage you can get an idea of the character and grain in the timber. All of our slabs are priced individually, and the dressing is included in the displayed price.
Prior to being dressed, our slabs all look similar and quite grey. We can sell you a slab like this, straight out of the kiln, however it's hard to see the unique detail in each.
The process to flatten and sand by hand is time consuming and labour intensive – hours with a router and jig to take off the high points – or might be ideal for you if you're already set up to do this. If you would like to flatten and sand your slab yourself you'll save yourself around $100.
Alternatively, a few passes through our industrial wide belt sander and your slab will be ready to be filled and fine sanded, ready for coating.
Finishing live edge wood
Now it's time to sand that live edge! We use a Festool Orbital Sander, using approximately 60 grit (grind off) you gently sand the live edge. If there's any bark still intact you'll need to pull or gently chisel this off. Underneath this are amazing patterns, lump, bumps and out of this world character – and this is why we recommend keeping your live edge!
Once you have a smooth finish – don't sand away too much as you will sand away the colour and texture of the live edge – change your pad to a 120 grit and give it the once over.
Finishing live edge wood with bark
We have never left the bark on our slabs. This is because if your slab is dry, the bark will naturally want to come off. There is no need to keep it on as there's plenty of character underneath.
If the bark on your slab wants to stay on, be worried! It usually means the slab is 'green' – not dry. The best way to combat this is to buy kiln dried slabs. Our slabs are kiln dried to 10% moisture content, which is optimum for furniture making. You can't get to this point by air-drying.
We have a kiln right here at our workshop. We load it ourselves and monitor it twice a day to ensure the right outcome for each kiln load.
If you work with a slab that is still 'green', it will soon be a problem. The moisture has to come out of timber, meaning the timber will move and warp, regardless of what you use to work with it – it will most likely end up as firewood.
We dry our timber under extremely controlled conditions. There is an art to ensuring your timber dries flat and doesn't warp. Sometimes even the best-laid plans see slabs of timber well, not go to plan – we are dealing with nature here!
Even kiln dried it has 10% moisture – enough to wreak havoc with certain timber in our fluctuating Melbourne weather! If you want to know more about kiln dried slabs let us know!
Options available to help finish live edge timber
Finishing a live edge slab is really a matter of personal choice. You can add a black or brown bog to fill the cracks, use clear resin, you can leave it unfilled to enjoy the rustic feel (not recommended for bench tops for hygiene). We mostly finish with a matt 2 pac polyurethane which we outsource. Whatever you decide to do with your timber slab we can either advise you or simply do it for you!
Some customers will buy a slab, dressed and take it home to work their own magic, and some customers will choose a slab and ask us to have it finished ready for installation. Think kitchen benches, vanities, laundry benches, table tops, coffee tables, hall tables, shelves, bar tops and desks.
Some customers will have us fill and fine sand for them to take home to do the top coat. Whatever your creative endeavour, we can definitely get you started or get the job done for you.
Similarly if you love the idea of purchasing a sustainable piece of furniture, we have pieces ready to go in our show room. We have so many timber slabs air drying and waiting for the kiln, 2020 is set to be our biggest year yet!
Whatever your situation, feel free to drop in, smell our timber and leave with a slab, a table or an idea for your next project.

Cape Town - Orlando Pirates head coach Kjell Jonevret remained silent as to which players the club are looking to offload in the upcoming transfer window.
The transfer window is set to open next month and the Swedish mentor will be looking to better his squad for the 2018/19 season as early as possible.
"I haven't talked so much about that (player transfers) but of course when you are in this situation you've got ideas already from the beginning - it is possible to do this thing," Jonevret said as quoted by KickOff website.
"But I can't say I'm looking forward to it but it should be when the season is over. Hopefully, it'll end in the positive way.
"It should be really nice to start the new pre-season and I'm looking forward to that but right now my focus is to try to play as well as possible in these games in the league and do everything we can to extend this season by an extra month for the (Nedbank) Cup final.
"But of course we've got ideas but we'll discuss that with the club and we'll wait and see."
It has not been the best of seasons for the Sowetan giants as they find themselves 10th on the Premiership log with a chance of lifting the Nedbank Cup.
The Buccaneers take on Golden Arrows in the semi-final of the Ke Yona competition on Sunday at the Princess Magogo Stadium.
Kick off is at 15:00.

30 construction firms plan to tap equity market, raise Rs2,000 cr2 min read . Updated: 24 Nov 2007, 12:33 AM IST
30 construction firms plan to tap equity market, raise Rs2,000 cr
30 construction firms plan to tap equity market, raise Rs2,000 cr
Around 30 construction firms are planning to raise close to Rs2,000 crore over the next 12-16 months from the capital market through initial public offerrings (IPOs), according to the first-ever Dun & Bradstreet India survey of Indian infrastructure companies. D&B is an information services company.
These construction firms include small and mid-sized companies such as the Hyderabad-based SVEC Construction Ltd, BGR Energy Systems Ltd, Bangalore-based Brigade Enterprises Ltd, New Delhi-based Vijai Infrastructure Ltd and Brahamputra Consortium Ltd.
The survey profiled 187 infrastructure service providers across construction, power and telecom sectors. "What we have tried to do with this survey is provide a bird's-eye view of what the companies in these sectors think of themselves and the sector," said Kaushal Sampat, chief operating officer, D&B India.
The D&B India survey profiled 121 firms in the construction sector, including real estate developers, 52 power companies, including generation, transmission and distribution companies, and 14 telecom companies.
While 20 of these construction companies have already filed red herring prospectus with the market regulator, Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), the other 10 are expected to do so shortly.
Most of this money will be used to fund 'build own operate transfer' projects in the roads, ports and highways sectors, and buy construction equipment, the D&B India survey said.
The Bombay Stock Exchange's 14-stock realty index has moved 28% from 7,377.53 points since its inception five months ago to close at 9,457.37 points on Thursday. Several of the companies that are part of the index have been included in the survey.
The survey has found that the majority of the large-scale construction companies are involved in the development of information technology (IT) parks and special economic zones (SEZ), and most of the smaller companies are in the residential segment.
"The build and sell model suits the cash flow requirement of the smaller companies, while the larger companies seem more comfortable with the lease model, where the cash flows come in later," Sampat said.
The D&B survey also found that most of the companies felt the public-private partnership model for infrastructure building had taken off.
Among the power firms, the central public sector undertakings (PSUs) such as NTPC Ltd have been most aggressive in their capacity expansion plans.
While Central PSUs are planning to add 58% additional capacity, private companies such as Tata Power Co. Ltd and Reliance Energy Ltd accounted for 32% of the planned capacity addition. The state government-owned electricity boards accounted for only 16% of the capacity addition.

The end of freedom of speech as we know it………WHAAAT?
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
– Edmund Burke
Christians should "have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but (also) reprove them" (Ephesians 5:11).
Those Christians who are silent when there is sin and evil around them are in fact partakers with those that do evil (Ephesians 5:7).
WND says this in a recent article, What we face today in America is worse than "good men doing nothing." More times than not it's "good men" in the name of political correctness or out of cowardliness holding others back from speaking out against evil.
Should we all remember at this point in our history Martin Niemöller(1892-1984) who was a Protestant pastor during Adolf Hitler's killing spree. He arose as a spoken public foe of Hitler while others said nothing. For the last seven years of Hitler's rule, Niemöller was imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp.
He is best remembered for this quote:
We need more courageous loud voices like that of Martin Niemöller need to speak out and help issue a warning to the world: "The Final Great Islamic Fatah(conquest) is upon us, and we must not be silent!"
America, Patriots, Christians we can no longer be silent and allow our freedoms to be trampled on and taken away from us. This is the time to stand and say we will not be forced to conform to middle eastern hypocrisy. If you want to live in our country then it is you that must conform to our standards and way of life. In America all men are created equal along with women.
Did you get that? If I were a Jewish person, I'd fear an Obama 2nd term. Here is what will be said in 2016, if he gets re-elected:
Listen to the end, you may be as surprised as I was.

Four simple steps to request a 50-item demo project in GMDH Streamline
If you wish to test GMDH Streamline using your data, please follow these four simple steps.
1. Include as much history as possible in your sales history file
We recommend a minimum of at least 24 months of sales data so that GMDH Streamline can automatically see seasonality. When less than 24 months of information are used, depending on the data, the demand model may be just a trend (although a very smart trend!).
2. Prepare your data
Streamline is very flexible, and can take data in a format you may already have. GMDH Streamline supports a number of formats: sales aggregated by periods (months or weeks), or a raw list of customer orders exported from your database.
For Demand Planning
Here is an example of the historical sales spreadsheet in the proper format for Demand Forecasting.
- Group is an optional (and not limited to one) column, and makes up the hierarchy (in this case, creating a hierarchy of SKU within Group).
- Item code is an item identifier. It's the lowest level of detail, the SKU or forecasted item and is required.
- Description is a readable name of the item.
Required data: item code, sales history for 2 years.
If it is easier to create your file with this information in rows, as opposed to columns, Streamline can easily take information in either way.
Streamline can build hierarchies of product categories (e.g. item category > item subcategory > item code) and location categories (e.g. region > city > store). Just add as many category columns as you need into the data table and make shure that the historical data is broken by these categories.
For Sales & Operation Planning
Streamline allows generating revenue forecast based on demand forecast and planned or forecasted prices. Here is an example of the data in the proper format for Sales & Operation Planning.
- Location column is used to forecast item's consumption per location.
- Selling price per unit is the amount you charge for the item. It can be your current sales price or your target price. If you charge a different amount per location, the column should have different selling prices for item-location pairs. This allows to forecast the revenue at the location level.
- Purchase price per unit is used by the application to determine such KPIs as inventory value, non-moving inventory value, and gross margin.
Required data: item code, sales history for 2 years, selling price per unit.
For Demand Planning & Inventory Planning
If you are interested in using Streamline for Inventory Management, it would be helpful to provide your inventory parameters. Here is a example of the data spreadsheet in the proper format for Inventory Planning.
- On Hand is the amount of inventory currently in stock.
- In transition is the item amount currently in transition.
- Delivery date is the expected delivery date of the item from your supplier.
- Lead time is given in days and represents the time from ordering to receipt of the item from your supplier
- Order cycle is entered in months and represents how often the item is ordered from your supplier.
- Min lot and Max lot represent optional constraints on how few or how many of this item can be purchased from your supplier.
- Rounding allows Streamline to take into account how many items come packed in a carton, allowing the application to suggest exactly the right amount of the item to order.
- Purchase price allows calculating gross margins.
- Selling price is the amount you charge for the item.
Required data: item code, sales history for 2 years, on hand, lead time, in transition, delivery date, order cycle.
3. Send your data
Email us your sales history and inventory data in Excel or CSV files. We keep your data strictly confidential. We will load your data and prepare a 50-item demo project for you.
4. Schedule a demonstration of the application using your data
Once the demo project is ready, we will inform you and offer to schedule a meeting and go through the demo project and specifics of your use of Streamline.
Please contact us with any questions. We will be happy to help!

How Does it Work?
SkinTyte™ works by delivering a sequence of rapid, gentle pulses of infrared light over the selected treatment area. This light passes through the uppermost layer of the skin and penetrates deep into the dermis. Once the light has entered the dermis, the treatment works in two phases: it first heats collagen in the upper, middle, and deep dermis, and then causes collagen bonds to contract and soft tissue to coagulate. Over time, this leads to collagen remodeling and the toning and tightening of the skin.

Background and requirements
The Executive Shaving Company is one of the largest shaving and grooming suppliers in Europe. Executive Shaving stock and supply shaving products from leading manufacturers world wide in addition to developing and supplying own brand products including razors, shaving creams and balms.
Executive Shaving had previously gone through several redesign and developments of the website that unfortunately resulted in a drop in natural listings.
Following a workshop, we identified that they required a core internal system for stock control, warehouse and fulfilment, purchase orders and price control, in addition to being a customer facing website.
This led to the implementation of a customised ERP solution, integrated with Magento 2.
Magento2 ERP ecommerce platform
Starting with a workshop to understand the business, its objectives and its target market allowed us to develop a solution from the outset that would work not only for the customers that needed to transact on the website, but for the team that needed a toolset to run the business from.
We started with a Magento 2 platform and a custom ERP installation that allowed the business to implement all suppliers and product relationships. This created both inhouse and dropship warehouses, and a fullfilment solution that allowed the full tracking of pick pack and dispatch to reduce errors and reports for multi currency VAT reconciliation.
Loyalty scheme, gift card, special promotions, multi currency, channel integration (Amazon, eBay), Braintree payment gateway and Sage integration are some examples of the features required.
Website Development
We provided Executive Shaving with a comprehensive website redesign and development to provide a fully responsive user experience that drives customers to the desired call to action. The implementation of key social proofing including live chat and Trustpilot reviews have resulted in a direct year on year increase in sales and a stronger return on investment.
Digital Marketing
We provide various Digital Marketing services for Executive Shaving, including but not limited to pay-per-click, search engine optimisation, email marketing, website creative and paid for social remarketing.
