In my mind as soon as the 1st March hits, its never too early to start prepping for summer. Whilst in Robert Dyas (the glamour) this week I caught myself eyeing up camping equipment and planning sunny jaunts into the country! I doubt camping will be happening anytime soon or ever, but wearing a sundress again and banishing my black tights to the back of the wardrobe is quite likely. In hope I have rounded up my some favourite happy pieces that would definitely put a spring in my step and a smile on my face. I do already have the face mask and highly recommend, but really want the shoes, bag, necklace and dress to go with!
hahaha, eyeing up camping equipment. I hope it was a cath kidson cowboy teepee.

US Reviewing Tariffs On Chinese Goods Set To End In July
By AFP News
American tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars of Chinese imports are due to expire in July, but could be extended if enough industries ask for it, US officials said Tuesday.
With Americans facing the highest inflation in more than four decades and companies struggling to find key supplies, President Joe Biden has faced increasing calls to get rid of the punitive duties imposed during the trade war launched by his predecessor Donald Trump.
The tariffs were first imposed in 2018, eventually ramping up to cover about $350 billion in annual imports from China in retaliation for Beijing's theft of American intellectual property and forced transfer of technology.
The measures will lapse July 6 unless there is a request to continue them, at which point they would be subject to review.
US trade officials said Tuesday they are officially reaching out to the public to seek comment on whether to extend the tariffs, including sending letters to 600 firms that expressed support for the measures.

"Under the statute, the tariffs would expire at the four-year anniversary unless we go through this process and get a request for the continuation of action," a senior official with the office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) told reporters.
The official declined to say whether high prices would be a consideration, but said any review will look at "the effects of such actions on the United States economy, including consumers."
Foreign companies have long complained about Beijing's failure to protect know-how and patents, and in some cases forcing firms to share information with domestic partners as the price for doing business in the massive Chinese market.
Prior to Trump, US administrations had sought to resolve the issues through dialogue and gentle pressure, but Trump pulled out all the stops, sparking retaliation from Beijing on US goods.
And despite a "phase one" trade pact that took effect in February 2020, USTR Katherine Tai said the hardline measures have not "incentivized" Beijing to alter its practices.
USTR will look at input from "all stakeholders on how they view the tariffs whether they want to be increased, decreased (or) modified," another official said.

I've never really been one to do anything with my hair. It's straight, pretty boring and since I've been about 15 a ponytail or bun is my go to. For quite a while I had hair down to my waist, and the easiest thing to do with it was just put it up all the time. More recently I've been experimenting with different lengths, mostly opting for something a little shorter but still long enough to go up if needs must. With different haircuts and length, of course, comes some experimenting with different styles. I've been embracing my straight hair and trying out something a little different that I've completely fallen in love with. Don't get me wrong I still have days where my hair is up and out of the way, but I've really been enjoying this little routine for sleek hair that looks polished throughout the day with minimal effort.
I start off by double shampooing my hair using the Garnier Ultimate Blends Delicate Oat shampoo. This smells absolutely divine, creamy yet clean, I love it, and it doesn't irritate my scalp at all. I don't really use conventional conditioner anymore, hence why I double shampoo. My hair is naturally very soft and silky, and I found that using a traditional conditioner was just weight my hair down. Instead I opt for a leave in conditioner spray from Aussie, which I apply to lightly towel dried and brushed hair. This adds a little extra softness to my hair, whilst still being very lightweight on my hair. On the odd occasion that I do use a 'normal' conditioner, I use the matching one to the Garnier shampoo.
Next I really roughly blow dry my hair upside down, so it's semi-dry but mostly quite damp. This just adds a little volume and dries the underneath, before I flip my hair back to normal and part my hair slightly to the side. I fully blow dry my hair using the Denman Medium Hot Curl Thermoceramic brush. For a hairbrush to only use when blowdrying, this is pretty pricey but boy did it change my at home blow dry game! It makes my hair looks so much nicer when I've finished drying, and I can add a little extra volume by drying my hair away from the scalp and slightly under at the ends. Both of which make all the different with straight hair.
Once my hair is dry I spritz in some heat defence spray from TRESemme. Although my spray in conditioner has a certain amount of heat protectant in it, going in with a second heated hair tool I like to add a little more to avoid too much damage. I use the Irresistible Me Diamond hair tool* to gently bring the ends of my hair under slightly, there's a full how to which you can read here. I love how this makes my hair look, it looks much more polished and 'done' without needed a qualification in hairdressing. All that's left is to just spray it with a little hairspray to make sure it lasts all day, the Wella Silvikrin 2 or 3 hold is my favourite as my hair doesn't go all crispy and gross, yet it really holds my style in place, which considering my hair can fall flat with a gentle breeze is pretty impressive!
I've been doing this so much over the past month or so that it hardly takes any time at all and I just look and feel a lot more put together. Of course there are days where I still reach for the hair ties, but I like having a go-to routine that looks nice, yet takes very minimal effort.
Do you have a go-to hair routine?

Feb. 14 2020, Updated 10:06 p.m. ET
Tickets for Kobe Bryant and daughter Gianna Bryant's public memorial at Staples Center went on sale on Friday, February 14. Fans can now register through Monday, February 17 to buy tickets to the event on Ticketmaster. Proceeds from the sales will go to the late athlete's Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation.
A post shared by Vanessa Bryant 🦋 (@vanessabryant)
"A limited number of tickets will be released for public sale, with all proceeds going to the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation. The Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation exists to further Kobe and Gianna Bryant's legacy in youth sports. Specifically, the foundation aims to provide access, opportunity, and to teach life skills to young girls and boys through the vehicle of sports," Ticketmaster's website explained.
A post shared by Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant)
Kobe and Gianna's celebration of life is set to take place on February 24. It is expected to draw a huge crowd of athletes, celebrities, fans and friends. Speakers and performers for the memorial have yet to be announced.
Kobe, Gianna and seven others lost their lives in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California on Sunday, January 26. The athlete and his daughter were recently laid to rest in a private funeral at the Pacific View Memorial Park in Corona Del Mar, California.
Kobe's widow Vanessa Bryant hasn't been seen in public since the heartbreaking tragedy, but she is expected to be in attendance at the memorial. She took to Instagram on February 10 to share that she was suffering from survivor's guilt and doing her best to cope with her grief for the sake of her daughters Natalia, Bianka, and Capri.

"I've been reluctant to put my feelings into words. My brain refuses to accept that both Kobe and Gigi are gone. I can't process both at the same time. It's like I'm trying to process Kobe being gone but my body refuses to accept my Gigi will never come back to me. It feels wrong. Why should I be able to wake up another day when my baby girl isn't being able to have that opportunity?! I'm so mad. She had so much life to live," Vanessa wrote.
She continued, "Then I realize I need to be strong and be here for my 3 daughters. Mad I'm not with Kobe and Gigi but thankful I'm here with my other daughters Natalia, Bianka and Capri. I know what I'm feeling is normal. It's part of the grieving process. I just wanted to share in case there's anyone out there that's experienced a loss like this. God I wish they were here and this nightmare would be over. Praying for all of the victims of this horrible tragedy. Please continue to pray for all."
Vanessa changed the name of Kobe's Mamba Sports Foundation to include Gianna, she announced on Thursday, February 13. "Because there is no #24 without #2, we have updated the Mamba Sports Foundation to now be called the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation. Our mission remains the same — and stronger than ever — to provide opportunities to young people through sports. Thank you all for the outpouring of support and your kind donations to date as we carry forth Kobe and Gigi's legacy. We hope to empower young athletes in a world they left us all to help shape. #Mamba #Mambacita #wings @mambamambacitasports," she said.


Bilal Muslim Mission of Americas was incorporated in October 1993 in New York USA as a non-profit corporation with IRS tax exemption status. Hence all donations given to BMMA will receive tax deductible receipts in USA.
BMMA was primarily incorporated to propagate the teaching of Ahlulbayt to the inmates of correctional institutions in USA and Canada. These inmates who had embraced Islam according to the Sunni Madhhab were disenchanted and asked for directions towards the Seerah of Ahlulbayt. The founder members of BMMA embarked on this mission with full support from well-wishers and donors who pledged their loyal support for this cause. BMMA was born.
Soon after BMMA was informed of the Shiite converts in Trinidad and Guyana. Most interestingly BMMA stumbled upon the Hossay Festival in Trinidad which has been taking place every Muharram for the last 150 years to commemorate the martyrdon of Imam Hussein (a.s.). This event is organized by the Shiite Muslims of Indian ethnic origin whose fore fathers were taken to Trinidad by British Raaj as indentured labourers. This festival was known to the Muslim Ummah for a long time. Unfortunately it was ignored by all. Time took its toll and the event change from solemnity to festivity.
During Muharram in 1994 BMMA sent a couple of persons to investigate this event as well as pay a visit to Guyana. Since then BMMA has participated in this event regularly. BMMA arranges for zakirs to go to Trinidad to read majlises for the Hossay as well as for the African ethnic Trinidadians who had embraced Shiite Madhhab. Unfortunately the Shiite Muslims in Trinidad and Guyana do not have a mosque or a centre to call their own. Their number is very small indeed in relation to the entire Muslim population. Being Shiite Muslims they are resented by the main Muslim body by the propaganda of the Wahhabis. They are, however, very dedicated and need the support, help and encouragement from all of us.
Since then I have been paying regular visits to Trinidad and Guyana. BMMA sent hundreds of copies of Quran translated by S.V. Mir Ahmad Ali and other literature. BMMA also supplied the small community in Trinidad and Guyana with TV, VCR, Computer, Printer and Fax machines. BMMA also financially supports the running of Madressah in Guyana and dispatches reading material and other literature for the same on regular basis.
The need for a centre has been felt in this region for a long time. In 1996 the President of World Federation Alhaj Mulla Asghar with an entourage of 10 individuals including the President of NewYork Jamaat, Br. Liyakat Fazal, visited Trinidad and Guyana. His report has been posted in the WF Webpage. The President also felt the need for a centre in the region and discussed the issue with the board of officers of BMMA. It was in this Muharram of 1996 that BMMA organized Imam Hussein Day Seminar in Trinidad, the first of its kind in the region. The Chief Guest of Honour was The President of World Federation and the Main Guest Speaker was the Archbishop of Trinidad and Tobago. This event was very successful.
Since BMMA has been participating in The Hossay event, the anomalies which were encountered in 1994 are slowly dissipating. The people of Trinidad gradually have come to understand the solemnity of this event. It is not called a festival anymore. It is now officially called the Hossay Procession. This procession has been video taped with an introduction by the President of World Federation and a copy of this video has been distributed to all jamaats world wide. Please contact the official of your jamaat to see this event on tape. Failing which please Email to : kermalli@yesic.com and a copy will be mailed to you.
BMMA has been fortunate to obtain the services of Alhaj Yusuf Kermalli from Tanzania who was on a visit to New York. Yusufbhai accepted the challenge and is employed as the administrator of BMMA stationed New York. Yusufbhai is inundated with correspondence from the inmates of the correctional institutions nationwide. BMMA receives more then 50 letters daily. These inmates ask a lot of pertinent questions which have to be answered responsibly. The inmates also request for literature which are sent to them to propagate the Madhhab of Ahlulbayt. Yusufbhai has also written a book on Hajj and presently is typesetting a book which has the biography of Imam Hassan(a.s.) and Imam Hussein(a.s.) written by Dr. Raza Dungersi. Both these books are published by BMMA. Write to us for a copy. This book is very much in demand in the Caribbean and South America. The book on Hassanain(a.s.) will be distributed at Second Imam Hussein Day Seminar in Trinidad this year. Donations are welcomed for this publication. Last year BMMA published a book "The Missing Link" written by Haroon Abdulla, an African American from Nigeria, who had reformed from Sunnite Islam to Shiite Islam. This book is also available from BMMA.
BMMA has now embarked on a very ambitious project. BMMA has signed and made down payment for a property in Trinidad. The President of World Federation Mullah Asghar has seen this property and encouraged BMMA to go ahead with the purchase. This property will be used as a mosque and centre for the Shiite Muslims. It is also planned to establish a Hawza at this centre so that students from the region can be catered for and eventually transferred to Qum for further studies. Local Muballigh are unheard of. BMMA plans to prepare local students to cater for their towns in the region. This property will cost US$ 250,000.00 when complete. The main objective for purchasing this property was to make it self sufficient to run. The property has three floors. Each floor has an area of 5000 sq. ft. The second floor will be used as Bait-u-Salaat and Lecture Hall. The first floor will cater for a Daycare Centre, a Vocational Training Centre for Women and a One Bedroom apartment for the Resident Aalim. The ground floor will have five to six shops ranging from a Mini Supermarket to Used Tire Resale. All mumineen are welcome to share in this venture by contributions. Mumineen outside USA may make payments to their constituent jamaats who will then donate the same amount to BMMA on your behalf. This way all of you will benefit from tax exempt receipts for tax deduction purposes. The brochure for this project is under preparation. It will be mailed to all jamaats as soon as it is ready. Please Email to kermalli@yesic.com for any further clarifications.
IEB of World Federation has entrusted BMMA with distribution of all literature for them in America. This arrangement will eliminate duplication and centralize the distribution process. Other organizations and institutions are welcome to make such arrangements with BMMA. BMMA will Inshallah cater for the need of the Shiite Muslim converts and propagate Shiite Islam in all parts of North and South America including the Caribbean. Islam is the fastest growing religion today. We are anticipating a flood towards the Madhhab of Ahlulbayt in this part of the world. BMMA is preparing for this eventually and Inshallah with your encouragement and support we shall march forward and prepare the groundwork for the Awaited Savior who will come and direct us further.

Spider veins and varicose veins are similar, but spider veins are much smaller and appear in clusters making some result in spiders-like forms on your skin. These veins that appear on your skin can be harmless, but can lead to further complications. There are many ways to treat spider veins for health and cosmetic reasons, and here's how.
One of the main causes of spider veins is poor blood circulation. Increased exercise helps with your blood circulation and other venous insufficiency problems. Sitting or standing for long periods of time can cause poor blood circulation, so you can do simple things like walking for at least 30 minutes 5 times a week, or getting up and walking around for 10 minutes every 2 to 3 hours. You can also add exercises that are meant to help with blood circulation to your routine like climbing stairs, swimming, or jogging.
There are several remedies that have been said to help with the appearance of spider veins. You can try remedies that increase blood circulation like drinking ginger tea. Placing a cloth with apple cider vinegar on the affected area also helps with blood flow and circulation and placing gel with horse chestnut in it can help with swelling. At home remedies are cost effective, but may not always work, so you should seek help if your veins start to cause you any physical discomfort.
Elevating your legs, hands, or head can help reduce the appearance of spider veins since it takes some of the pressure off the veins in the elevated area. You can elevate wherever your spider veins are easily with pillows for 15 minutes at a time a couple times a day. You can also massage the area to help your circulation. If it's painful to massage or you experience more severe symptoms, you may need medical help form a vein clinic.
When you've tried everything and your spider veins become painful or persist, medical intervention may be necessary. Vein clinics and hospitals offer many medical treatments for spider veins, such as microsclerotherapy or laser treatments. These are noninvasive procedures that can block off spider veins and reduce their appearance and the pain they may cause by making healthier veins pick up the slack from the closed off veins. Medical help can prevent spider veins from becoming more serious, and you can find vein clinics in Chicago with advanced treatments like Veins Without Surgery.
Spider veins can lead to more serious problems like varicose veins, blood clots, throbbing, swelling, or pain. Treating your veins will help your veins become healthier, and can also reduce the appearance of them. Spider veins can happen to anyone, so it's important to understand what kind of treatment options are available for you to live the healthiest life you can.

Located in Ambarès-et-Lagrave, facing the vineyards of the Medoc, the chateau Peychaud was founded in the 17th century by the Marquis de Fayet, Councellor at the Bordeaux Parliament, and ancestor of the actual owners, the family de Pontac.
The three main Bordeaux varieties planted at chateau Peychaud: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot evolve on various gravel and alluvium soils, which give to the wine complexity and a superb expression of the fruit.
Since 2012, the two sisters de Pontac, Slanie and Elisabeth, produce red and Rosé wines in a pure Bordeaux style.

In a time of uncertainty, blue collar job growth was certainly consistent at the end of 2020. Employment in construction, manufacturing, and mining and logging increased by 76,000 jobs in December, or 0.38 percent over the previous month. The three-month average from October to December was 83,670 jobs, or a 0.42 percent month-to-month change. Since the January 2021 jobs numbers have already been released, it's worth reporting that the nationwide December numbers for each industry have been revised. There was a slight decline for each industry but the numbers are not drastically different from when they were first reported in January.
Construction jobs increased by 42,000 in December, or 0.57 percent over the previous month. The three-month average from October to December was 46,330 jobs, or a 0.64 percent month-to-month change. This reflects a strong October, with 73,000 jobs added, and a smaller increase in November of 24,000 jobs.
By region, the West saw a staggering increase of 36,800 construction jobs, 1.92 percent over the previous month. The majority of jobs were located in California, which experienced a net increase of 31,600, a 3.67 percent increase over the previous month. The state is now only 4,700 jobs below its February, pre-pandemic peak. According to the Census, the start of construction on new privately-owned housing units in the West rose by 10.2 percent from November to December. Arizona and Oregon, however, saw net decreases of 4,100 (-2.35 percent) and 800 (-0.74 percent), respectively.
While housing is certainly playing a part in the construction job boom, it can't explain everything. The Northeast saw a net increase of 18,000 jobs, or 1.69 percent over the previous month; however, the Census notes that starts of construction on new privately owned housing units in the region declined by 34.8 percent. New York and New Jersey accounted for a good portion of the increase in construction jobs, with net increases of 8,500 (+2.29 percent) and 3,100 (+2.11 percent), respectively.
The Midwest and South experienced net increases of 17,500 (+1.27 percent) and 10,600 (+0.37 percent) of construction jobs, respectively. Illinois and Indiana led construction job growth in the Midwest with net increases of 8,300 (+3.85 percent) and 3,300 (+2.19 percent), respectively, while Michigan saw the largest net decrease in the region with a loss of 1,800 jobs (-1.02 percent). In the South, Florida and Texas led construction job growth in the region with net increases of 3,200 (+0.57 percent) and 3,100 (+0.41 percent) jobs, respectively. Louisiana had the largest net decrease in construction jobs in the South, with a loss of 2,000 jobs, or a 1.51 percent decrease over the previous month.
Manufacturing jobs increased by 31,000 in December, or 0.25 percent over the previous month. Much like construction, the latest number isn't too different from the three-month, October-to-December average of 34,670 jobs, or a 0.28 percent month-to-month change. Unlike construction, however, jobs added over the last three months have been consistent, with 32,000 added in October and 41,000 added in November.
By region, the South yet again had the largest net increase in manufacturing jobs, with 22,800 added, or a 0.55 percent increase over the previous month. Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, and Texas had the largest increases with 4,500 (+1.17 percent), 4,500 (+1.02 percent), 4,400 (+1.92 percent), 3,000 (+1.25 percent), and 2,700 (+0.31 percent) jobs added, respectively.
The Midwest followed, with a net increase of 18,400 manufacturing jobs, a 0.47 percent increase over the previous month. Wisconsin had the largest net increase in the region and out of all states in December, with 6,500 jobs added, or a 1.40 percent increase over the previous month. Iowa and Illinois followed with net increases of 3,800 (+1.71 percent) and 2,400 (+0.43 percent) jobs, respectively. Ohio experienced a net loss of 1,100 jobs, a 0.16 percent decrease over the previous month.
Manufacturing job growth was weaker in the Northeast, with only 9,800 jobs added in December, a 0.56 percent increase over the previous month. The majority of these jobs were in New York state, which saw a net increase of 5,100 jobs, or a 1.29 percent increase over the previous month.
The West saw a 5,000 net decrease in manufacturing jobs, a 0.21 percent decrease from the previous month. The bulk of these jobs were in California and Oregon, which experienced net decreases of 3,600 (-0.29 percent) and 900 jobs (-0.49 percent), respectively. New Mexico saw a net decrease of 400 jobs, but that's a 1.50 percent decrease from the previous month — the largest month-to-month percentage decrease in December.
Mining and Logging
Mining and logging jobs increased by 3,000 in December, or 0.50 percent over the previous month. The three-month average from October to December was 2,670 jobs, or a 0.45 percent change over the previous month. For mining (minus support activities), the net increase was 1,300 jobs (+0.23 percent), and for logging, the net increase was 900 jobs (+2.0 percent).
Texas saw the largest net increase in mining and logging jobs, with 1,000 added in December (+0.52 percent). The sector has been slowly rebounding in the state since July of 2020, but it still remains 42,900 jobs below its February, pre-pandemic peak.
This report shows blue collar industries were finally, albeit slowly, rebounding from the beginning of the pandemic. However, the January numbers that were released last week don't paint a great picture. The winter surge in coronavirus cases could cause a similar disruption, further delaying recovery. It's highly unlikely the pandemic is the sole cause for what we're seeing. Increases in housing starts, for example, can explain construction job growth in certain regions of the US. But we also can't ignore the effects of the pandemic. The sooner everything is under control, the sooner we can see the blue collar jobs recovery resume.

Growing up, I knew that I wanted to be an engineer because I've always been fascinated with building things. But I struggled with the fact people like myself were not represented in the field. Now, I look for ways to help other under-represented people find opportunities to be in roles like mine.
On my first day at Facebook, I was amazed that I had access to the entire repository of code. I spotted a bug in a major feature and messaged another engineer about it, who said I could write the fix if I were up to it. I coded the fix, had it reviewed, and pushed it live to hundreds of millions of people, all on my first day. It was unbelievable.
I now lead engineering for Instagram Live, which lets people connect in real-time using our Live Streaming and Video Calling products. I've always admired Instagram because I come from a mixed background, having studied film in addition to computer science and math. Instagram's focus on building beautiful, emotionally rich, and well-crafted products was a huge draw for me, and I'm thrilled to be at a company working at the intersection of art and engineering.
As a manager, I get fulfillment from coaching and developing other people. I love helping people work through difficult situations and finding opportunities for them to showcase their talent. Growing up, I knew that I wanted to be an engineer because I've always been fascinated with building things. But I struggled with the fact people like myself were not represented in the field. Now, I look for ways to help other under-represented people find opportunities to be in roles like mine. I've participated in our Black Mobile Engineering dinner series, our Grace Hopper presence, our internal Diversity and Inclusiveness program, and the Facebook University program, which helps students from under-represented backgrounds to get to know Facebook's people and services.
Having held several other jobs, I've truly found that Facebook is the one place where I could come in from day one and have a huge impact while being my authentic self. And I want others to know that this can also be a place for you too, where you can bring your authentic self to work, and help bring others closer to the people and things they love.

Our last post, Tim Walz, troublemaker: making noise about raises blocks 2010 pay hike, noted that House leadership had decided that members should forgo next year's automatic pay raise.
What is it that congressional lawmakers don't get on the economy?
The economy is in the tank, but it is OK for members of Congress to take a raise. It must be Washington economics.
Members of Congress just got a 3 percent or $5,000 raise in January and the majority accepted it.
Now the No. 2 Democrat in the House said Washington lawmakers are going to have to give up their automatic raise in 2010. It would be "inappropriate," said Maryland Democrat Steny Hoyer, for Congress to accept its 2010 raise when the economy is in bad shape and people are losing their jobs.
Well, Mr. Hoyer, what about the 2009 raise last month?
We think is not only inappropriate but almost immoral for Congress to have accepted a 3 percent pay increase last month, which raised members' salaries to $174,000.
The congressional pay raise in January added an additional $2.5 million to the budget.
We call on Congress to not attempt to fool Americans by rejecting the 2010 increase; when they just accepted the 2009 increase in the midst of a failing economy, crashing markets and a banking slowdown.
The House should repeal their 2009 salary increase and do it now.
Of the other two co-sponsors in Minnesota, only Johnny-come-lately Kline boasted about it in a press release when he signed on in later January; Blue Dog DFLer Peterson came onboard earlier on January 14 without publicizing his move. Neither Kline nor Peterson followed Walz's led in returning the 2009 raise.
Bluestem Prairie and the Minnesota Independent led the media, old and new, in getting news of Walz's actions out to the public.

Netherlands, 12 五月 2015 - In collaboration with DSM Dyneema, Norway-based Load Solutions AS, a global provider of lashing and loading systems for the transport industry, will officially launch their innovative lightweight synthetic TYCAN® chain at the upcoming international trade show BreakBulk Europe 2015, May 18-21 in Antwerp, Belgium. Available on the market since January of this year, the new chain has been hailed for its outstanding performance by users across a wide range of industries, from shipping, mining and oil and gas to commercial fishing. Already, Load Solutions is seeing very sizable new orders and reorders from initial customers. Commercial field trials are ongoing globally in various industrial branches to further expand the commercial market opportunities for TYCAN®.
TYCAN® chain is a non-metallic link chain made with Dyneema®, the world's strongest fiber™. It has been developed to replace the steel chains that are traditionally used to lash and secure project cargo during transportation. Dyneema® is a patent-protected ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber made by DSM Dyneema. Dyneema® is 15 times stronger than steel on a weight-to-weight basis and up to 40% stronger than aramid materials.
"Our best customers, active in the sustainable fishing industry in the coastal waters of Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California and in Mexico, enthusiastically tested TYCAN® with highly satisfying results. These new synthetic link chains, which are lashed and pulled under any and all weather conditions, up to twenty four times a day by the fishermen, are incredibly light, safe and easy to use!", he said.
TYCAN® chain weighs up to 8 times less than its conventional metal counterparts and is more than fifty times less noisy in use. The chain has been shown to provide impressive productivity gains and savings in cost throughout the entire transport process. On trucks, outsize cargo, such as electricity pylons or windmill turbine blades can weigh almost as much as the vehicle's maximum payload capacity. Using TYCAN® chain significantly reduces dead weight, which means trucks can safely carry more cargo while remaining within the insurable limits.
The lighter weight of TYCAN® chain translates in many cases to lower labor costs - fewer simultaneous hands needed, more efficient securing processes – and on ships, to shorter port stay times and hence lower costs. Additional significant savings can also be realized by the substantially lower claim costs for damaged freight and equipment.

Gabrielle Ruiz Is Pregnant! Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Star Expecting Baby 1 Year After Miscarriage

"Since my miscarriage last fall, I had a new perspective on my health as a woman ready to start a family," Gabrielle Ruiz tells PEOPLE

Motherhood is on the horizon for Gabrielle Ruiz.
The Crazy Ex-Girlfriend star is expecting her first child with husband Philip Pisanchyn one year after suffering a devastating miscarriage, she confirms to PEOPLE as she surprises her costar and pal Rachel Bloom with the news live Saturday (Ruiz's 36th birthday!) on the mom-to-be's podcast, What Are Friends For.
"Even in isolation, it's been important for me to share our wonderful news of this pregnancy with friends one by one and in creative ways," she says. "I wish I could tell Rachel in person, but at least I can record her reaction and have it forever online! And it's extra special that our show is all about friendship. Live, on my birthday, with our amazing girlfriends and fans is such a poetic way to break the news!"
Alongside a set of photos taken by her husband at their cabin in Big Bear Lake, California, over the Thanksgiving holidays, Ruiz tells PEOPLE that their new addition is due in May 2021.
"Since my miscarriage last fall, I had a new perspective on my health as a woman ready to start a family," Ruiz says. "I focused on my mental and physical health while we were trying again. When COVID-19 took over the world, we were weary of trying again, but decided to continue in faith. Six months later, we were pregnant!"

"Philip and I are so thrilled and grateful to God for this new chapter in our lives," she adds. "We have been focusing on the positives of staying safe in isolation while sharing our pregnancy journey with family, friends and fans in new, virtual ways. So if any other soon-to-be mothers out there have any tips, we'll take them!"
Ruiz and Pisanchyn met on Match.com and later tied the knot in August of 2016 on the Caribbean island of St. Martin. They share two rescue pets together: a cat named Veronica and dog named Leela.
She opened up about her miscarriage back in November 2019, detailing the moments before and after the loss weeks before — coincidentally, on Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.
"When our OB-GYN gave us the news, I went through all the emotions; shocked, numb, confused, practical, overwhelmed, scared, sad, sarcastic, relieved, frustrated, even the thought, 'Oh, this couldn't be happening to US,' " Ruiz wrote in her post.

Ruiz went on to explain that reading the stories of other women going through similar experiences gave her the motivation and courage to share her own.
"The stories you all shared gave me strength, understanding and the feeling that I truly wasn't alone and that this all wasn't in any way my fault," the Broadway veteran said. "So, I feel it is my duty to continue the transparency in sharing the secret story-telling of miscarriages. Because no one really talks about it as much as we should. I now have the opportunity to tell you that you, my dear, are not alone."
"If you're reading this and you got the miscarriage talk or if you're anxious about starting a family, know that this is a common possibility, it's no one's fault, and it's all going to truly be okay," Ruiz continued further down. "We truly don't know how brave our bodies and hearts are until we prevail in the moment, tears and all. xoG."
The star later thanked her followers on her Instagram Story for all the messages of support she'd received since sharing her post, and gave her husband a shout-out, calling him her "rock."

As a Microsoft Word user, you likely know of and use many of its wonderful features. However, this vibrant application has many tools and options that often go underused. Here are seven of those common features, how to use them, and how to make them work for you.
Creating tables for data from scratch can take a lot of time. Luckily, Word offers a set of options called Quick Tables. These handy tools can be popped right into your document, are already formatted with styles, and can be edited or customized even further.
Select the Insert tab and click the arrow below the Table button. Move down to Quick Tables and the slide-out menu will display several convenient options. You can choose from four different calendar tables, a matrix, a tabular list, and two tables for data.
Once you choose the Quick Table you would like to use, you can simply enter the data you need and be on your way. However, you have options to customize these tables just like any other table added to Word 8 Tips to Format the Perfect Table in Microsoft Word 8 Tips to Format the Perfect Table in Microsoft Word Microsoft Word tables are essential formatting tools. Find out how to make a table and format it perfectly with these simple tips. Read More .
Change the colors, font sizes, or number styles by selecting the area you want to alter and applying your changes. You can also adjust the number of rows or columns, change the alignment or size, and alter cell attributes all in one spot. To do this, select the table, right-click on it, and pick Table Properties from the context menu.
For changing the entire look and feel of your document, Word has both Themes and Styles. Themes can be accessed from the Design tab and Styles reside on the Home tab. These two formatting tools work together to create a beautiful, consistent appearance.
Themes contain colors, font styles, and effects that are applied to your document. When on the Design tab, select the arrow below the Themes button to view your options. You will see a nice selection with a tiny preview, so you can pick the one you want easily. If you would like to adjust them slightly or completely, those options are available on the same tab, to the right, using the Colors and Fonts buttons.
Styles can be used alone to make your titles, subtitles, headings, and paragraphs consistent. But, these are also used in conjunction with Themes to apply the appearance you have selected. For instance, once you pick a Theme such as Circuit, the elements of your document must be tagged for the style to apply. Select your title and from Styles click the Title style. Then, select your headings and do the same. You will instantly see the Theme you chose once the Styles are applied.
When you have your document elements tagged for titles, headings, and text, you can check out different Themes if you like. Head back to the Design tab, open the Theme options, and as you move your mouse over each one, you will see your document change. This makes it super easy to pick another Theme if you like.
Maybe you would like to spruce up your document, but do not want to go all in with a theme or style. Word offers some wonderful options for fonts that really make your text stand out. Plus, you have customization options that let you make them your own style.

Your sidebar will pop open and allow you to adjust each of these font styles as well as soft edges and 3D effects.
And, keep in mind that you do not have to choose an effect to see how it looks. Simply select the text in your document and as you move your mouse over the different options you can see what it will look like. This is great for checking out various looks for just the right one.

To quickly format parts of your document just like other sections, use the Format Painter on the Home tab. Just select the formatting you want to carry over, click Format Painter, and then apply it to the area you want.
If you need to apply the formatting to several sections, double-click the Format Painter button, and continue applying to multiple areas. When you are finished, click the Format Painter button once more to deactivate it.

I would like to know more about adding graphics to word letters and fun graphics to envelopes.. I really have a hard time with this. I would like to be able to create pretty graphics on the envelopes.
Using styles is key for good document structure and to manage it. This is not emphasized enough.
Font gimmicks should be avoided, I agree.
Working with pictures : good: crop tool and size reduction ; user unfriendly : position and layout of multiple picts is a pain, no way I know of to set same attributes to multiple picts. Grrr.
Nothing says unprofessional more than Word's font effects. Whether its a school project, a thesis or a business document, font effects are the first port of call of the chronic underperformer. Stay away from them.
As a teacher and an employer, I agree. Don't try to liven things up with such gimmickry.
I completely agree when it comes to serious projects, documents, and papers. But, for signs, announcements, brochures, and the like, those fonts can be effective. Plus, not everyone's business is the same, there are many that likely can find them appealing...entertainment, gaming, etc.
If you use Word to design brochures and such like then you are asking for a whole world of hurt. Rather invest in a low cost (e.g. Serif PagePlus) or free (e.g. Scribus) DTP package and use Word to generate the text. What Word does to page layout is just short of criminal.

The oldest rivalry in the NHL has lost some of its lustre this season because the Leafs are good and the Canadiens are very bad.
The matchup: The oldest rivalry in the NHL has lost some of its lustre this season because the Leafs are good and the Canadiens are very bad. This is the third of four meetings between these teams and Toronto won the first two games at the Bell Centre. The Leafs needed overtime to win 4-3 on Oct. 14 and romped to a 6-0 win on Nov. 18. The Canadiens will return to Toronto to close the season on April 7.
Price getting closer: Goaltender Carey Price, who has been out since he suffered a concussion on Feb. 20, accompanied the team to Toronto, but hasn't been cleared to play. The start will go to Charlie Lindgren, who has lost his last three starts after shutting out the Philadelphia Flyers on Feb. 26. Lindgren gave up 16 goals in the three losses and that left the rookie with a 4-7-2 record, a 2.95 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage.
Lehkonen finding the range:Artturi Lehkonen's second NHL season has been marked by bad luck and injuries, but the Finn has regained his scoring touch, which produced 18 goals in 73 games last season. Lehkonen has four goals in the past four games for a total of nine goals in 55 games. He has been playing on the second line with Alex Galchenyuk and Jacob De La Rose.
Leafs weathering storm: Toronto star Auston Matthews has missed the last eight games with a shoulder injury, but the Maple Leafs haven't missed a beat. They have won three in a row and are 6-2-2 in their last 10 games. Starting goaltender Frederick Andersen is day-to-day with an upper-body injury, which opened the door for Curtis McElhinney, who has been a winner in each of the past two games to boost his record to 9-4-1.
The trade you don't make: There was pressure on Leafs GM Lou Lamoriello to trade James Van Riemsdyk at the deadline because he is in a position to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. Lamoriello elected to keep him because he didn't see a player who represented an upgrade. It has been a good decision because Van Riemsdyk has five goals in the last two games for a career-high 31.

The Yana () is a river in Magadan Oblast, Russian Far East. It has a drainage basin of . Tauisk village is located at the mouth of the river.

The basin of the river includes tundra zones which provide a habitat for the brown bear, bird species such as the long-toed stint and the common snipe, as well as amphibians such as the Siberian salamander.

Course
The Yana river is formed at the confluence of the Right Yana (Правая Яна) and the Left Yana (Левая Яна) at an elevation of , from which point the river is  long. Including the  long Right Yana, which has its source in the eastern end of the Suntar-Khayata Range, the total length is . The shorter Left Yana has its source in the Kolyma Highlands.

The Yana flows roughly southeastwards across mountainous terrain. In its last stretch it enters a floodplain among wetlands just east of the Taui River (Kava) and west of the Arman. Finally it flows into the Amakhton Bay, part of the Taui Bay of the Sea of Okhotsk.

The main tributary of the Yana is the  long Seimkan that joins it in its lower course from the left.

Nature | News: Q&A
How the brain views race
How do our brains respond when we see someone of a different ethnicity?
Mo Costandi
Liz Phelps was one of the first researchers to tackle how the brain responds to people of different racial groups.
How the brain responds to and processes images of people from different racial groups is an emerging field of investigation that could have major implications for society. Psychologist Elizabeth Phelps of New York University, in New York, who in 2000 led one of the first studies in this area, tells Nature what her latest review of the field reveals about the neuroscience of race1.
What does psychology tell us about race?
Social psychologists differentiate between the attitudes that people express and their implicit preferences. This can be studied using the implicit association task, which measures initial, evaluative responses. It involves asking people to pair concepts such as black and white with concepts like good and bad. What you find is that most white Americans take longer to make a response that pairs black with good and white with bad than vice versa. This reveals their implicit preferences.
What did your review of the neuroscience literature show?
My colleagues and I found that there's a network of brain regions that is consistently activated in neuroimaging studies of race processing. This network overlaps with the circuits involved in decision-making and emotion regulation, and includes the amygdala, fusiform face area (FFA), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC).
What did your previous work show?
Our 2000 study was the first to link race preference to brain activity. We measured the eye-blink startle, a reflex response that people display when they hear a loud noise, for example. A lot of studies have shown that this reflex is potentiated [enhanced] when people are anxious or in the presence of something they think is negative. We found that implicit preferences were correlated with potentiated startle, and that both were correlated with the amount of amygdala activation.
How does the neuroscience fit with the psychological model?
Activity in the FFA isn't surprising, because all of these studies use photos of faces. The amygdala is involved in emotions, and might be linked to the automatic evaluations we make when we see people from other racial groups. We think that the ACC and DLPFC are involved in more complex functions. People tend to show unintentional indications of race bias, even when they are motivated to be non-prejudiced, so the ACC may be involved in detecting these conflicts. You can have an implicit bias and choose not to act on it, and the DLPFC may be trying to regulate the emotional responses that conflict with our egalitarian goals and beliefs.
What about people who are overtly prejudiced?
Finding differences in people with extreme views wouldn't be too surprising, but I'm not sure we'd see anything more than an exaggerated [emotional] response. We're more interested in 'normal' people. Those who are more internally motivated to be non-prejudiced show greater ACC activity, whereas those who hold extreme views obviously have explicit, intentional race bias and don't care about controlling their emotional responses.
What are the societal implications of this research?
Most white Americans we studied show an implicit preference for their own group. They don't have bad intentions, but because they've associated black people with, say, criminality so many times, their decisions are infused with that association, whether or not they believe it's accurate. There's evidence of unintentional race bias at every stage of the legal process. Despite the fact that it aims to be egalitarian, sentencing is vastly different for African Americans. The bias is also there in employment.
How should this research progress?
We need to investigate how our implicit preferences are linked to the choices and decisions we make. We want to use this knowledge to reduce the unintended consequences of race bias — the things we do that aren't consistent with our beliefs. One problem is the lack of funding for this type of work. It's very hard to fund this kind of research because it's not really relevant to health. One way to go would be to apply the sophisticated tools of neuroeconomics to investigate how unintentional bias affects our decision making. The research could also be linked to emerging work on controlling emotions.

HomeWhy Does Diane Rehm Think Bernie Sanders Is Israeli?
Why Does Diane Rehm Think Bernie Sanders Is Israeli?
Josh Nathan-KazisJune 10, 2015
No, Bernie Sanders does not hold Israeli citizenship.
That much was apparent to all but a few internet oddballs. Or so we all thought till this morning, when nationally syndicated NPR host Diane Rehm quizzed the Jewish Democratic presidential candidate about the topic.
In an interview on The Diane Rehm Show today, Rehm stated, wrongly, that Sanders was Israeli.
"Senator, you have dual citizenship with Israel," Rehm said.
"No, I do not have dual citizenship with Israel … I don't know where that questioning came from," Sanders said, taken aback. "No, I'm an American citizen, period."
Rehm went on to attribute the question to "a list we have gotten."
"That's some of the nonsense that goes on in the internet, but that's absolutely not true," Sanders said.
"Interesting," Rehm responded.
Interesting, indeed.
Sanders, who is Jewish, has enjoyed an early surge since he declared his presidential candidacy in May, drawing large crowds to campaign events in Iowa. Polls still have him running a distant second to frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
UPDATE:In a statement posted to Facebook, Rehm apologized for the misstatement of fact.
Rehm noted that she had apologized to Sanders on the air. "I want to apologize as well to all our listeners for having made an erroneous statement," she wrote. "I am sorry for the mistake. However, I am glad to play a role in putting this rumor to rest."
