The Minister for Justice has said he will bring in new legislation governing the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission in the next few months.
Charlie Flanagan was speaking this evening at the Association of Garda Superintendents conference where senior officers called for the practice of gardaí investigating gardaí to cease.
The Minister said it was important GSOC be independent and he was working towards that.
Earlier the conference heard that almost 20% of all garda superintendents are currently under investigation by GSOC.
The AGS says that, in some cases, these investigations can last up to five years, which it feels is unacceptable.
Association President Superintendent Noel Cunningham said most of these investigations involved examinations of their role as supervisors and managers.
He called for GSOC to be properly resourced to carry out such investigations and for a proper legal structure to be put in place for those under investigation.
Supt Cunningham said 30 of the AGS's 166 members are under investigation.
No senior garda officer has ever been charged or convicted of a criminal offence following a GSOC investigation.
Earlier, the association warned that Brexit would necessitate a significant increase in the number of gardaí assigned to the border.
The association said that with four times as many roads now open along the border compared to 20 years ago, policing was reduced and "crime corridors" have created new policing challenges.
Supt Cunningham is expected to tell the AGS annual conference today that while cooperation with the PSNI is excellent, Brexit will create the need for a significant increase in gardaí along border counties.
He said garda numbers during the Troubles were at least three times the current figure, and that to restore that number from existing resources, would mean denuding the big urban centres and other divisions of gardaí.
Supt Cunningham said it is vital that early planning and resourcing takes place to ensure the force is prepared for policing after Brexit.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Supt Cunningham said Brexit will have implications for "all the specialist units.
"We don't want to be in the situation, where all of a sudden people have to be drawn, resources have to be drawn, from places where they are already needed, up to the border to address an issue there.
Policing post-Brexit, pay anomalies and investigating complaints for GSOC are the issues set to dominate the conference in Kildare.
Supt Cunningham said current pay rates were a disincentive to officers seeking promotion as, in some cases, garda inspectors are paid more than superintendents.
Superintendents say they are also concerned by the amount of their time taken up by investigating GSOC complaints, which also means the public does not get the independence it expects from those investigations.


Pain is like a burglar alarm. It alerts us to an immediate problem. It is extremely important to obtain a good medical evaluation and proper treatment of any injury or disease we may have. Once you have been evaluated, learned the cause of the problem and begun proper treatment, then you no longer have use for the pain. What can we do with pain which, like the burglar alarm that can't be disconnected, continues to irritate us?
Through hypnosis you can control any type of non-useful pain while leaving your alarm system intact. It is very important in the field of pain management not to try eliminating all pain, but to be selective. After an initial consultation with you in regard to your specific situation, and a referral from your physician, I will design a specific program for you that will eventually either relieve your pain, or dramatically diminish the severity of it.
Unlike with drugs, there is no tolerance level with hypnosis. The benefits build and get stronger with practice.
Hypnosis can also help with dental pain, child birth pain, and other non-disease related discomfort. How does it work? With the use of hypnosis I can teach your body to make use of the built-in pain relievers we were all born with. I will also teach you how to focus on other parts of your body that are not in pain, thereby decreasing the attention and intensity of discomfort you may be experiencing.


Sydney social media platform Gather Online has raised $1 million from former Dimension Data chief Brett Dawson, who has also joined its board of directors as chairman.
With founder David Price setting out on the initial development of the platform in 2012, Gather Online describes itself as a sort of 'Snapchat for groups', with users able to conduct discussions on various topics for a limited period of time.
"Gather Online enables people to shift from passively consuming content, as is often the case with existing social networks, to connecting with like-minded individuals and having meaningful conversations," Price said.
The investment from Dawson follows the startup raising NZ$908,829 (just over $861,000) through equity crowdfunding platform Equitise last year.
With staff across Australia and South Africa, the startup stated it currently has more than 40,000 daily active users. The funding from Price will go towards pushing the startup's international expansion and scaling it "to the levels that would interest Series A venture capital funds" later this year.
The startup will look to partnerships in a bid to scale, with Price stating Gather Online has already partnered with tertiary education institutions, not for profits, and media organisations across Australia, the UK, the US, and South Africa.
"Other partnerships will be established as part of a concerted [business-to-business] outreach as the company expands its international reach," he said.
Beyond B2B channels, the startup will also look to create a freemium model once it reaches around 250,000 active users per month, with premium features for paid subscribers. The platform will also allow content creators to create 'Gatherings' that require a fee for entry, of which Gather Online will take 10 percent.
It will be interesting to see how this model develops as the social media landscape evolves, particularly in the wake of the problems currently in front of Facebook and discussions it has raised around what it means to use a 'free' online platform – that you, or your data, are likely the real product – and the value as a user of being on a platform that is cluttering your feed with ad after ads.
After a week of people flocking to other platforms to announce they were deleting their Facebook accounts, the company this morning revealed the number of users who had data shared with Cambridge Analytica was 87 million, with over 300,000 of them Australians.


Welcome to my alphabet series showcasing some of the new products in the 2017 Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogs. Today I am showcasing the Timeless Tags Thinlits Dies and That's the Tag Stamp Set found on page 23 in the Occasions catalog. I love to make my own tags for gifts but you can use these gorgeous tags for a card too!
I seem to always be in need of thank you notes. That's the Tag stamp set has a variety of sentiments so you could use it for just about anything. I love the coordinating Timeless Tags Thinlits Dies…so detailed!
I started with my favorite for thank you notes…the Note Cards & Envelopes. I cut a strip 1 1/2 x 5 of black polka dots from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack and centered it on the note card. The layers for the flower are So Saffron (3 x 3), Whisper White (2 3/4 x 2 3/4), and Basic Black (3 1/8 x 3 1/8). I centered the flower die on the So Saffron and Basic Black and ran it through the Big Shot using the Precision Base Plate. This made it so easy to remove the pieces from the detailed die. I only needed to save the center piece from the So Saffron die as I just needed the shape cut so I could inset the black flower outline. I like the way it looks like an inlaid puzzle. I also cut the leaves from the die using a scrap piece of Old Olive.
Here's a few more ideas. This is a great set for cards or to dress up gift packaging for all occasions!
You can purchase this set as a bundle and save 10%!. If you purchase the bundle for $37.75 and add $12.25 or more (ex. White Gift Boxes, Gusseted Cellophane Bags, Clear Tiny Treat Boxes, or Note Cards & Envelopes and maybe some ribbon or twine) you qualify for a FREE Sale-A-Bration item! Use the Hostess code EPGDT3KF when you check out and I will send you this card kit. All you have to do is assemble and add a sentiment. Click HERE to go to my online store!
Don't forget…Today is the last day to take the "quiz" for a chance to win a FREE Sale-A-Bration gift. No purchase necessary! Click HERE to enter.

Jeanie, I LOVE your card! This set was on my maybe list but I gave in and it just arrived! As I was reading I wondered, do you save the leftovers from the So Saffron flower die. I have the worst time letting those little pieces go!!!!
DARN YOU….you did it AGAIN – up to CAST this beauty! I LOVE the clean and crisp lines of this card…..way to ROCK IT!!!!
Thanks! This is one of those I will mass produce. Hmmmm…maybe I'll use it for my swap card for Richmond.
Hi Sharon, I must have missed you were doing another swap. I do enjoy swapping. I'm actually thinking of doing a swap on my blog. I love seeing what others create!
One of the prettiest cards EVER! Just my style… gorgeous!
WOW! Thank you! You made my day!!! I appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Jeanie! This is just beautiful! Great job! Now, I think, I have to get this 'Bundle'!!!
Such an enabler!!!!!!! Love it!
So gorgeous! I love the clean, crisp lines and the colors are perfect together! Thanks for the great instructions. Enjoy your day.
Thanks Mary Ann! I can't wait to try this with different colors too! I sometimes tend to just go with my favorites. 🙂 Have a great week!
Oh Boy . . . I too cannot throw away any scraps! Also, Jeanie, if I don't clean up after crafting, I usually use what is left over for the next card too. Oh I do feel so much better, 🙂 . I love the contrasting black and yellow on this card, looks great! Have a great rest of the day!
Ah Nancy, we certainly are Stampin' Sisters! It's fun when I can use what's leftover in my craft space to create another project. Some days the ideas come more easily than others. I love the days when I can't create fast enough because my mind is on overload. And I love that we can always look to others for inspiration (when ours is on vacation.LOL) Have a great week!
Oh this is the best! I adore these colors and I think I could CASE this if I get those darn framelits. I think I could get by without the stamp set probably. I just love the richness and those polka dots! I could see the flower in other colors for different people as well but this is my favorite. Now, I am going to subscribe once more to your blog and hopefully it comes to my E-mail. I looked through a bunch of your posts and I have missed a lot and well, insert an unhappy face here! I hope you didn't block me before because you dislike my comments.
Chris, I would never block you! I always love reading your comments on Susan's blog. I hope you can subscribe too! I agree it would look great in other colors. I actually started out intending to watercolor inside the floral die but the teacher in me saw a puzzle once I cut it out. LOL I happen to LOVE polka dots…always bring out a smile!
Beautiful! I really appreciate how you show step by step how you made this. I've seen other cards but, ok I'm going to admit it, I've been like, how did they do that? Haha your instructions are so clear. My elderly mother loves daisies daisies daisies, so I'm so excited to see this intricate set! Happy February!!
Hello Jeanie, thank you for sharing. I like it the way you used this set in different ways. I was looking for inspiration, a costumer of mine would like to make tags. This set has many possibilities.


Born: 28 August 1873, Place not known.
Died: 2 May 1904, Place not known.
"Miss Lilly Leppan" of Tea Fountain (a farm some 25 km west-north-west of Grahamstown) presented a steady stream of various specimens to the Albany Museum, Grahamstown, during 1891. In 1900 Miss L. Leppan of Tea Fountain, presumably the same person, donated some arachnids, molluscs, and a reptile. Also, "Fraulein L. Leppan" at some time gave specimens of non-marine molluscs to a Dr Panther [not identified] and was commemorated in the name of the species Gulella leppani (since renamed). She was presumably Miss Lilian Lavinia Leppan, aged 18 in 1891, daughter of Charles James Leppan and his wife Margaret Webb. A younger sister of her father, Letitia H. ("Letty") Leppan also presented some specimens to the Albany Museum.

Emerging Leader, Thomas Johnson, Sales Manager, WECO Industries
Emerging Leaders, Members in the News, Wastewater News
Thomas Johnson started in the wastewater business by answering the phone, filing customer information, taking out the trash, and shipping products for his father's company.
And he was only 15 years old.
Today, 17 years later, he is sales manager at WECO Industries, and poised to take over the business someday. "I grew up with it," he says, "and I'm here for the next 30 years. It's my future. I love it, man."
CWEA is in his future, too. Since he joined at a young age, he's become a member of the San Francisco Bay, Santa Clara Valley (SCV), and Students and young Professionals sections. "In just four years, he has risen to vendor liaison for all three sections," states his nomination letter for Emerging Leader. "He has gone above and beyond his job description in several ways, taking the initiative to grow the SCV section with recruiting and even taking the secretary's position, helping with conventions, and running the golf tournament.
"He helps and coordinates ongoing training for all members of CWEA sections…including starting an educational classroom to learn about root foaming."
It's this opportunity to educate and connect with people that drives Thomas. He says his association activities give him the opportunity to build relationships, while using the range of products his company represents to teach various technologies to the membership.
And the association has helped him grow as a professional. "I remember my first training session," he recalls. "I had 55 minutes but I talked so fast I was finished after 22 minutes."
The Covid-19 pandemic has affected his business, of course. All WECO employees who are not in the service department are working from home, he reports, and sales have had to be cancelled because of supply and supplier issues. "The pandemic has delayed shipping so customers have had to wait longer for orders," Johnson says.
We are looking for accomplished water professionals who are making a significant, positive impact on California's water and they have not yet been recognized for that effort.
Emerging leader describes an individual who:
Has demonstrated the potential to assume a leadership role in an organization.
Are strong performers who have the potential, ability, and aspiration for continuing their impact on the profession in a leadership role.
Show commitment to the organization, exert influence, and demonstrate a willingness to step up and take on more responsibility.
Have desire to grow both personally and professionally through networking with like-minded professionals and volunteer work in our profession.
Impact will last for a couple of years or more.
Nominators need to be a CWEA member. The nominee does not have to be a CWEA member but should be involved with California water and should live in California. Self nominations are eligible – make your case for the impact you've had and you might get picked!
The Emerging Leaders will be selected by a panel of seasoned industry leaders and will be interviewed and profiled in Clean Water.
Nominations due April 1!
Submit application.

Good day of racing around the British and Irish Isles today, weather permitting, and speed figures expert Steve Lines, @sjlone1, has singled out the Criterion Stakes at Newmarket for his analysis. It's always worth a read.
A quick look at three matches, now posted on TheShark.com.au website.
Pleased to say the early morning weather in London is quite pleasant, max temp of around 21C expected, with small chance of a shower during the afternoon.
As unique as grass court tennis in the Grand Slams, it's probably the least likely to throw up an odd result. It has been donkey's years since anyone other than Federer, Nadal or Djokovic won it, and most recently, we have had a year of Slam finals fought out between the latter two, Wimbledon's top two seeds.
Having such an elite trio at the top of the game is fabulous to watch, but it gets a bit dull after a while - any sign of some new blood breaking into their domain? Laying the top four in the Betfair market (well, after all, you can't barrack for Murray to win it can you?) gives you about 7/1 the rest of the field.
Another fiendish handicap to look over, but with the favourite 13lbs higher and in a far better race this time around, I think it may pay to look away from the market leaders in a race that has had double figure payouts over the last three years.
Speed ratings expert Steve Lines, @sjlone1, got it spot on with his lay of Astrology on Friday, is there more success to follow?
Hopefully the weather will be kind to Black Caviar. A bog, where the draw may be a factor, is not what her sporting connections deserve, although the new straight course doesn't get as soft as the older round course. This year, as last, being close to the rail on the round course seems to be a disadvantage; Astrology and Homecoming Queen, both short price favourites, failed to make the frame after racing close to the inside yesterday. In 2011 all the runners on the Saturday raced way from the rail.
Odd race, restricted to 2yo sired by horses which won over at least 1900m in their careers. The favourite is the impressive Move To Strike from the Jim Bolger stable in Ireland, who earlier in the week won the Coventry with Dawn Approach. He bolted in by 9L last time at The Curragh on soft ground. That form should make him exceptionally hard to beat here, but he will start quite short.
The fifth and final day of Royal Ascot, and thankfully we are in the fortunate position of not having to chase profits, so no desperate lumping, we hope anyway, unless the dreaded thought of not a bean from the first five races, but that doesn't even bare thinking about! It has been intense so far, and the pressure has been on, hopefully if you're reading this, you've made a few quid and are either playing with Billy Hills, Joe Coral, Paddy Power or Mr Ladbrokes money!
If, by the time the Wokingham Stakes comes round, you're still looking for your first winner at this year's Royal Ascot meeting, there is a good chance you're not going to find it in this 29-runner field. On the flip side if you do manage to unlock the code, there is every chance your punting week could be turned right around.
Double figure odds the field, with most firms offering ¼ the odds first five each way terms, there is some cracking value to be found in this the last big handicap race of the week.
A race that has been farmed by Mark Johnston in recent years it is strange to see a field without a runner of his, but this years field does look a high class renewal.
The Friday of Royal Ascot will be the first time the media and journalists have to 'engage brain'. The previous headlines have written themselves: Timeform have achieved their aim of rating Frankel the best horse of all time. That's another tick off their 'bucket' list; the ratings will be invaluable next time Frankel lines up against Brigadier Gerard……… So You Think continued to prove what we all know – he's good but not great. Frankie won the Gold Cup; so copy submitted and back in the bar in time for the football.
Best 3yo handicap of the season so far, and it's no surprise we are looking at 8s the field. Rougemont running has caused changes all over the places, with nothing rated within 10lbs on ratings, it has resulted in many trainers looking around for jockeys. Using Gabrial The Great and Commitment as examples, last year and 2010 a mark of 85 would see a weight of 8-7, today 8--1, so that has seen Franny Norton get the ride on Gabrial as Jamie Spencer can only do 8-5. JP Guillabert and Fallon can only do 8-6, so Commitment is ridden by Darren Egan.
If you fancy some in-running trading on Royal Ascot, or are just keen to get an idea of how the pace will pan out, then you must read Andy Richmond's daily In-Running Guides being posted on the PatternandProfiles website. Andy's a good mate of mine, we used to run the Betfair Academy training seminars and now he's a pundit on Racing UK.
Here's the link for a selection of races on Tuesday.
Here's the link for a selection of races on Wednesday.
Here's the link for a selection of races on Thursday.
A small but select about of 2 year olds line up for the Norfolk Stakes, with impressive maiden winner Ahern heads straight to Group 2 company after winning a small field conditions stake at Musselburgh earlier this month. A clear winner over similar conditions, this looks much tougher but he can't be ruled out of a place.
One of the more experienced runners in the field, Annunciation heads the market for Richard Hughes and Hannon. Last seen hosing up in a small field maiden at Windsor last month, he appreciated the new tactics of making all the running after breaking well from the stall and didn't see another rival. This looks tougher but with an inside draw and the experience, he should be difficult to beat.
The Tercentenary Stakes, Group III, 1m2f.
Had a decent looking profile at 2 where arguably should have won first three starts but he's paying for that end of season win in the Tattersall Stakes with both his last run and this being run under a penalty. Disappointed at the Curragh after racing so keenly and with only Goldoni the other confirmed front runner in the field, chances are he may fail to settle again. Craven run possibly flattered by having the rail, others preferred.
The feature on Thursday's card at Royal Ascot is the Gold Cup for Europe's best stayers. Regular contributor James Jack, @materialista27, returns with a detailed look at this great race.
The Gold Cup is a Group 1 race open to horses aged four years or older. It is run over a distance of 2 miles and 4 furlongs. It is Britain's most prestigious staying race. Contrary to popular belief the actual title of the race does not include the word "Ascot".
The Gold Cup is the first leg of Britain's Stayers' Triple Crown, followed by the Goodwood Cup and the Doncaster Cup. The last horse to win all three races in the same year was Double Trigger in 1995.
One of the highlights of the Thursday card at Royal Ascot is always the Group II fillies' race over a mile a half. Jon Thompson, @jaytee6666 previews the Ribblesdale Stakes.
The Ribblesdale has long been a favourite race for yours truly at the Royal meeting and a race that has thrown up a surprise package or two over the years yet has been dominated by the front end of the market for the past 5 years. Not since Mont Etoile in 2006 and Thakafaat a year earlier has the winner returned a double digit SP.
There are some interesting trends to observe when assessing the race. Godolphin have featured heavily in the winners enclosure with success 5 times in the past 15 years. Kailani represents the 'Boys In Blue' this year from the Al Zarooni yard with Mickael Barzalona again getting the nod over Frankie Dettori. Kailani remains unexposed but she will need to step forward from her 7th in the Oaks where she was never a real threat to the main contenders.
Not out at the track today and limited time for the form, so just a couple of short mentions below. As always, these races are mighty hard - when the best come to town, it doesn't get any easier.
15.05 - Nahrain - really rate this horse, got me out of jail so to speak on Arc day. Undefeated in Europe, reckon she will win this race.
17.00 - Ceiling Kitty - one of Bert Black (Betfair founder)'s horses and she is pretty quick. Have won on her before and there's still more left in the tank. Tough field though, Andy Richmond, Racing UK expert was very keen on Mironica in our preview panel on Sunday.
and naturally, I'll be cheering So You Think in the Prince of Wales, despite what Jack Milner said in his preview.
The very insightful Calum Madell takes the reins for today's opening event.
A huge field lines up for this race and although it lacks a little depth in places, it is still a cracking race with a number of extremely exciting rivals taking.
None fit in that category more than Sentaril who has caught the eye in a huge way on her first two starts to date. She was a hugely impressive maiden winner at Newbury although the form has taken a bit of a knock with the runner-up failing to win his last two starts and nothing else coming out of it. She then readily thrashed Silverheels who since finished last in the King Charles II Stakes won by ALJAMAAHEER.
The Prince of Wales Stakes is the centrepiece around the dinner table that is day two on Wednesday, and has an absolute abundance of talent at disposal, and a field that looks a minefield is the race slips into another one of these ridiculous crawl, then sprint tactical affairs.
Aidan O' Brien has a good record in this race, and has the hot favourite, So You Think, who I did my absolute coconuts on in this last year, when a narrow second to Godolphin's Rewilding, under a stellar ride from Frankie Dettori, whip bans notwithstanding. Last year he had Jan Vermeer used as a pacemaker, who quite frankly did a shocking job, and this year, Seamie Heffernan does the duties on Robin Hood this time, look after them fractions son. I am still financially and emotionally burnt by that, at a shade of odds-on, I have to oppose him.
Royal Ascot comes upon us once more and it is the first real test of the 'classic generation' going up against the big boys, their older, more experienced rivals. The pageantry, the spectacle, and most importantly Her Majesty, who will no doubt fully immerse herself in the Jubilee celebrations, with a sherry or two during the week. She has couple of interesting runners herself, including Set to Music, Momentary, and her most fancied runner, Carlton House in the Prince of Wales Stakes.
My turn to have a go and I do love the juvenile races at Royal Ascot. So many horses coming in off one or two very promising runs, and you know there will be several being backed. I doubt there have been many ordinary 2yos win the Coventry Stakes. To do the form properly on 2yos, I strongly urge you to watch replays - you can get them all for free on AtTheRaces.com for their tracks, and SportingLife.com for the Racing UK courses.
Artigiano- third on debut behind Funk Soul Brother at York, then took a significant step forward with a facile win at Leicester. Not sure what he beat, but it was impressive. In three seasons of training in Britain, Mahmood Al Zarooni's record with 2yos is top notch - strike rate of 19% with a level stake profit of £82.79 (344 runners).
Baddilini - not up to these, as noted in his price.

On June 23, 2016 the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, OSHA, passed a ruling that works to reduce the amount of silica dust workers breathe in on job sites. Under this ruling, employers are responsible to prevent employees from inhaling silica dust in amounts that exceed the permissible exposure limit, or PEL. This change significantly impacts professionals in the construction industry.
Effective Sept. 23, 2017, the new ruling reduces worker exposure to no more than 50 micrograms of silica dust over an eight hour shift. The health risks associated with silica dust combined with the 2016 OSHA violation penalty increase make it critical that employers comply with this new ruling. Read more.

'Jujutsu Kaisen' introduces new character in prequel movie

Grace Da Rocha, Senior Arts & Entertainment Editor
*This review will contain spoilers for the "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" movie and Volume 0 of the "Jujutsu Kaisen" manga.
Before the cursed fingers, a boy with a ring and low self-esteem battled his way to becoming one of the most powerful sorcerers in Japan.
"Jujutsu Kaisen 0," which premiered in the United States on March 18, serves as a prequel to manga author Gege Akutami's popular shonen series "Jujutsu Kaisen." The film follows 15-year-old Yuta Okkotsu after he is enrolled in the Tokyo Jujutsu Technical High. He and Rika, the highly-powerful spirit of his childhood friend who has turned into a curse that protects him, are supervised by the powerful sorcerer Satoru Gojo and paired up with fellow first-year high schoolers Maki Zen'in, Toge Inumaki and Panda — a literal talking panda.
The movie has received an overwhelmingly positive reception from audiences, with IMDb ranking it an 8.1 out of 10 stars and Rotten Tomatoes reporting a 98% audience score from over 2,500 verified ratings.
With Japanese animation studio MAPPA's signature art style, dynamic fights and an emotional soundtrack carrying the viewers through each scene, it is not hard to see why viewers are so impressed by another one of MAPPA's projects.
Having a star-studded cast that includes veteran figures also helps. Megumi Ogata, known for her performance as Shinji Ikari in the "Evangelion" series, lent her voice to Yuta. She is joined by actors such as Yuichi Nakamura, who plays Gojo. Nakamura gained popularity while playing characters like Gray Fullbuster in "Fairy Tail," Tetsurou Kuroo in "Haikyuu!!," and Shigure Sohma in "Fruits Basket."
After meeting his fellow classmates, Yuta is immediately thrown into his training and must partner up with one of his classmates on two separate occasions to exorcize curses despite his inexperience. The fluid fight sequences are broken up solely by Yuta's moments of personal growth, creating a pattern of fast-paced action and uplifting moments of growth that carries viewers into the emotional final fight.
Organizing the various curse exorcism events Yuta must face is Suguru Geto, the story's main protagonist and a former student of Tokyo Jujutsu Technical High. Geto, after experiencing some traumatic events during his time in high school, later abandons his position as a sorcerer and begins to put in motion a plan to exterminate everyone who cannot see or exorcize curses.
This ideology causes him to clash with the jujutsu society at large and Gojo, who was once his best friend. In the movie's last half, Geto distracts the experienced sorcerers with a parade of 100 curses that he refers to as the hyakki yagyo, a reference to Japanese mythology, and infiltrates the high school to steal Rika's powers from Yuta so he may use them to kill non-sorcerers.
Empowered by Rika and the yearning to save his friends, Yuta overpowers Geto and ultimately releases Rika of her curse. The movie finishes with a teaser of what Yuta has been up to in the main timeline of the Jujutsu Kaisen series, leaving fans hopeful for the return of the anime series' second season in 2023.
"Jujutsu Kaisen 0" has seen great success on its own within the three weeks it has been in theaters. The movie opened in the U.S. at $14.8 million dollars and has grossed over $27 million dollars since. Globally, it has amassed roughly $156 million and rose to become the 10th highest-grossing anime movie of all time, knocking out Hayao Miyazaki's "Arrietty" and joining the likes of films such as "Spirited Away" and "Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train."
Viewers can see "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" in theaters and watch the first season of the "Jujutsu Kaisen" anime series on Crunchyroll or HBO Max.

The original Boss Monster challenged players to become the ultimate villains: video game-style Bosses. Now Boss Monster 2 builds on the original in every way! An all-new set of 160 cards, Boss Monster 2 is playable as a standalone game or as an expansion to the core set.
Dark Heroes and Hybrid Heroes raise the stakes, while Epic Spells and "cycling" rooms give players more options and flexibility. Boss Monster 2 features everything that made the best-selling original a hit with players of all skill levels, with fresh new mechanisms and exciting new options.
With more Bosses, more unique cards, and more ways to slay hapless adventurers, Boss Monster 2 will take your dungeon to The Next Level!
Game's retail price: $24.95
This looks like a fun game to play with Seanie. It looks like a sequel, but the game claims it can be enjoyed without the original so we'll give it a try and see. We do love video game tropes.
Game's retail price: $5.99-$10?
As I stare at the tin containing one set of 28 double six color dot dominoes it occurs to me that I have no idea how to place this classic game. When I was growing up, dominoes were for lining up in long chains on the floor and knocking down. I guess it's high time I learn how to play!
UBONGO Teaser Game
Ubongo is a fast-paced, addictive, and easy-to-learn geometric puzzle game. Players race against the timer and against each other to solve a puzzle of interlocking shapes. The faster you solve the puzzle, the more gems you get. The player with the most valuable gem treasure after nine rounds of solving puzzles wins! Here's how it works: Each player receives a set of 12 polyominos - geometric shapes formed of equal-size squares joined edge to edge in different arrangements. At the start of each round, each player gets a new puzzle panel. A roll of the die determines which polyominos you must use to perfectly fill in the empty spaces on the puzzle panel. Any players who complete the puzzle within the time limit yell out "Ubongo!" and grab a gem at random from the bag. The fastest player also gets a blue gem and the second fastest an amber gem. Each gem color is worth a different amount of points. After nine rounds, the player with the most valuable gem collection wins.
Game's retail price: ??
The description above is for the full-sized version of this game. The little teaser included in the Awesome Pack is just a sample. It has a half-dozen puzzle board challenges for the player to try, but that's it. No gems. I'm not even sure this is even available for retail sale; it just looks like a sample the company gave to reps to help them sell games to their accounts. It looks fun, but I feel like it doesn't contribute much value to the Pack.
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES KEYCHAIN
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x kidrobot keychain series: comes in Donatello, Rocksteady, Bebop, Raphael, Michaelangelo, Splinter, Shredder, Leonardo, Foot Soldier, Krang
I was a little annoyed to see this in the box, because I've consistently requested NO TOYS in my Awesome Packs. I don't want more adorable little dust-catchers in the house. However, if I had to get a toy anwyay, I'm glad I got the Shredder - of all the TMNT characters available in this keychain series, he is the best. I haven't decided if I'll keep him or re-gift him.
This was not a good Awesome Pack. In fact, it's far and away the worst one I've received. I'm quite unhappy with it. The games are cheap and despite the fact that every month I request no toys or pop culture collectibles, they threw one in. I'm hoping this is an outlier, but if the quality of Awesome Packs has taken a nose dive than I won't be keeping a subscription much longer.

With Cycads Of The World, David Jones has achieved that difficult task of writing a scientifically accurate text which is both easy to read and understand. The book covers all 185 living species in their 11 genera. It has over 250 colour photographs, many descriptive maps and 16 fine old colour engravings previously hidden away in antique volumes. The book will appeal to gardeners, landscape architects, horticulturists, botanists, conservationists and curious general readers alike.


During the cold months I seem to crave more in my home. More accessories, more pillows, more throws.... just more. Then as spring nears I want less and a fresher airier look so I'll begin putting some things away. Today I thought I would share how I styled my winter coffee table in the great room.
I love placing stacks of books on the table and I like to add something on top like this majolica plate.
The plate adds interest and a pop of color.
Some of my favorite books where I get decorating ideas from.
I placed two wooden boxes from my collection together.
This round bowl breaks up all the straight lines that are going on and the beads add more interest and texture.
I also have a few magnifying glasses and normally place those on each stack of books, but this time I only have one displayed.
I placed an old pair of binoculars on this stack of books just for fun.
These are very old and in rough shape with the leather splitting, but I think that just makes them more interesting.
The last item is this tall brass candle holder which adds height to the table.
And it looks even better lit on a gloomy day.
When styling a coffee table, side table, or other flat surfaces it is best to decorate in odd numbers. As you can see I have seven things. Even though the books have something on top they still count as one. I could take two things away and have five, etc. If I place magazines or items in a basket like I did on the sunroom coffee table that would also count as one item. I'm not a professional, but just sharing some tips.
Are y'all ready for the weekend?
I'm so excited that I have someone coming to give me a price on some painting I want done and not me doing it! I'm a bit afraid to hear what it's going to cost though. If it's too much I'll have to wait a bit and save my pennies.
It's beautiful, well-collected without being cluttered.
You're right--more seems right when it's winter, whereas pared-down feels better for summer.
Looks great Kim. We just bought a round coffee table and I am having fun figure out table top vignettes for it. Love that brass and glass candle holder.
A most beautifully styled table! Love that you incorporated all of the "do's" of texture, shape, height, "numbers" and color and more.....Hope the estimate is reasonable so that you have the luxury of someone doing the painting for you!!!
You've given me so much inspiration from this post - thanks!
Kim, the coffee table has all of the elements to make it warm and inviting. Books always add interest...love the majolica plate!
Hope you get a good price on your painting. Almost 2 years ago we did some updating in a house I inherited before putting it up as a rental. We always do our own painting in our house, but didn't want to do that house. Plus, there was some paneling and trim I wanted painted, etc. It was pricey, but I found a good painter and it was worth it.
I have several of the old leather binoculars too. We don't use a coffee table in our great room, but do in the sunroom/den but there's only a large maidenhair fern in a pottery bowl on that table.
I love the interest of the binoculars. It makes you wonder what they have seen. Beautifully styled. Thanks for the tips. Inspirational. Have a creative weekend!
Beautiful as always Kim. Happy Friday.
Beautiful, Kim. I may be MIA for awhile, as my hubby is having open heart surgery on Tuesday. I will visit from my phone but may not be able to comment. Have a great weekend.
I have always rather loved tablescapes and especially wooden boxes on tables, you've done this brilliantly. Winter is a time to be cosy and in the wet and windy weather we are having, cosy is of vital importance!
You have such an eye for vignettes! The magnifying glass and the binoculars are my favourite items, but of course they are part of the whole decor.
Beautiful! Love seeing your home. Perfect timing for this post. I put the Christmas decor away on the 13th and everything is still a blank canvas. I have been trying for years to style my coffee table, very similar to your table I have four drawers vs two, and have never been able to make it feel right. Now after reading your post and having been inspired, I am ready to get my normal decor back out and start "playing' to see what I can come up with.

Fighting Rages in Iraq, US Death Toll Reaches 1,000 - 2004-09-07
U.S. troops fought intense battles on two fronts in Iraq Tuesday, with Shi'ite rebels in Baghdad and Sunni insurgents to the west in Fallujah.
More than 30 Iraqis and two U.S. soldiers have died in fighting in Baghdad's Sadr City since Monday. A third American soldier was killed Tuesday in an attack in western Baghdad.
In Fallujah, U.S. forces launched airstrikes after coming under attack outside the city. Some Iraqi casualties were reported.
Meanwhile, the number of American military personnel killed in Iraq since the March, 2003 U.S.-led invasion reached 1,000 Tuesday.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan says those killed made "the ultimate sacrifice." He said the best way to remember them, as well as the victims of the September 11th terrorist attacks, is to press ahead with the war on terror.
Information for this report is provided by AP, AFP and Reuters.


The full broadside. The display of the Vivo Nex Ultimate covers 91% of the front. Thanks to all sorts of innovative ideas, this works even without a notch. This review will tell you, if the Chinese high-end smartphone is suitable for everyday life, or if it is just a showpiece.
Everyone knows these full-bodied promises about smartphones with bezel-less displays: Lenovo for example, failed badly with its Z5. The compromise solution - a notch in the display, which houses the camera, sensors, and earphone - was not very well received by the customers. The Chinese manufacturer Vivo however, does not make only promises. In fact, they sent us a smartphone (via tradingshenzhen.com), whose display covers almost its entire front: no notch, very small bezels, and a front-facing camera extending from the top of the case if necessary. The Vivo Nex Ultimate appeals at first glance and is surprisingly well tailored to western users.
Vivo asks a high-end price of 699 Euros (~$820). However, the smartphone features plenty of the latest technology and up-to-date high-end components. With the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, the OnePlus 6, the LG G7 ThinQ, and the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S, there is already a strong competition on the market.
The Vivo Nex Ultimate is hard to get in western countries, you have to import it from China. Currently, you can order the device in red or black. In the future, there will be a blue option as well. Our review unit has a black case. The back looks very stylish with its dot pattern, breaking the light and shimmering in different colors. Apart from that, the back is made from glass, which is not very scratch resistant, and even feels like simple plastic. Our review unit has a protective foil on the back, which certainly protects the surface, but does not look very good: a mediocre quality impression for a smartphone in this price range.
The Vivo Nex Ultimate is relatively heavy and large. The dimensions are similar to those of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. At nearly 8 mm (~0.3 in), the thickness is within the usual range. The extendable camera does not seem to require additional room. You can hardly warp the device, but you can push in the back significantly, which also reduces the quality impression.
The Vivo Nex Ultimate device is equipped with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. Vivo offers a version with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage as well. The storage cannot be extended by a microSD card.
The USB-C port is located at the bottom of the device. It transfers data with only USB 2.0 speed, but features USB OTG. The 3.5 mm headphone jack is located at the top.
The operating system of the Vivo Nex Ultimate is based on the current Android 8.1, which is almost not recognizable. In fact, the operation system is oriented towards another famous mobile operating system: Apple's iOS. It has a different name, of course: Vivo calls it Funtouch OS. Operation, design, and even the settings menu feel very much like on iOS. This means that Android veterans have to adjust to it. The quick settings menu, for example, is located at the bottom of the screen, while you can still find the notifications at the top. The preinstalled keyboard app seems to be inspired by Apple as well. There is even a Siri, sort of: The Vivo smartphone features Jovi, a voice assistant software. However, it only speaks Chinese.
By the way, a common problem with imports from China is the software, which is often not properly translated. At best, there is an English version of the operating system. Some parts of the software are often still in Mandarin. But as a matter of fact, the Funtouch OS is different: It is available in every important language. The range of languages is similar to that of the stock Android. The translations are consistently on a high level. Of course, some apps are still only available in Mandarin, but these are always apps, that you do not necessarily need. The Google services are not preinstalled, as on every smartphone from China. However, if you connect with your Google account in the settings, the phone offers download and installation of Google services automatically. The process is snappy and works perfectly. After that, you can download every app you need from the Google Play Store.
With 16 LTE bands, the Vivo Nex Ultimate is not a real world phone, but you can use it in Europe quite well. Nevertheless, you should check if the phone supports the bands you need, before traveling to more distant countries. The maximum LTE speed is slightly lower than the absolute top range, but with 1 GBit/s of download speed still very high. The reception in the German D2 network is quite good in urban areas. The display never shows less than half of the signal bars, even in buildings.
The smartphone supports every current Wi-Fi standard. The speed is rather fast, but not as fast as on other high-end devices, according to our test in conjunction with a Linksys ES8500 router. Close to the router, the Nex Ultimate has full signal strength, but the loading of websites is noticeably slow. Sometimes, you have to wait quite a while for images to be loaded. 10 meters (~33 ft) away from the router with three walls in between, there are still three quarters of the full signal strength available. Page loading times are similar to those close to the router.
In buildings, the GPS is only able to locate our position at the windows. Outdoors, the precision ranges within five meters (~16 ft), which is a good value. The compass is very reliable. The location services in Google Maps are snappy, if you are standing still.
To find out how the smartphone performs as a navigation device, we go on a bike trip with both the smartphone and a professional navigation device (Garmin Edge 520). The measured distances sometimes vary by 190 meters (~208 yd), which is a considerable difference for a total distance of 6 kilometers (~3.7 mi). Even the Garmin does not show the driven distance perfectly, but it still is significantly more accurate than the Vivo Nex Ultimate. Turns, for example, are not straightened as often. The side of the street we used is far better identified as well.
The Vivo smartphone is sufficient for occasional navigation tasks. If you need to navigate more often, you should consider buying a different smartphone.
Customers, who are used to Android's standard phone app, have to adapt a little to the Vivo Nex Ultimate. The app only has a keypad with the recent calls shown above it. You can search for contacts using the number keys. There is also a separate key for the contacts tab.
To let the display cover the entire front of the phone, Vivo had to find a solution for the earphone. It usually sits above the display and needs an opening for letting the sound out. The manufacturer uses a piezoelectric speaker, located behind the display. This may sound futuristic, but it is working very well. Although you cannot see any earphone, the call partner is easy to understand and the sound is very clear. The maximum volume is satisfactory, but could be slightly louder. The microphone is good, no matter if our voice is loud or quiet. However, there is a slight overdrive at high sound pressure. The quality of the speaker is good as well. But here again, at high volume the the call partner sounds distorted and slightly rough. You have to speak loudly and directly into the microphone, so your call partner is able to understand you.
The 12 MP resolution of the rear-facing camera is not extraordinary for a high-end device. However, the camera is supported by a second 5 MP camera, used for blur calculation. The advantage of lower resolutions is larger pixels, which are able to absorb more light. This results in a very good low light performance: Images are very detailed and sharp. At normal light, images appear slightly oversaturated. Colors are almost unnatural. Of course, this is a matter of taste. The dynamics and the details are certainly appealing. The optical image stabilization helps preventing blur quite well.
You can record videos in 4K and 30 FPS. The quality is good: The exposure reacts quickly to changes in brightness, but the adjustment does not work continuously. Details and colors are reproduced well and the sound recording is loud and clear.
The front-facing camera is special: it extends from the top of the case if necessary, accompanied by a futuristic sound effect. This is not just a gimmick. It creates room for the almost bezel-less display and is also interesting for security reasons: No app can activate the front-facing camera without the user noticing it, because the camera has to extend first. We found out that GFXBench activates the front-facing camera every time we launched the app. The reason for that remains a mystery. With 8 MP, the front-facing camera offers a decent resolution. Images show clear details, but bright areas bloom quickly and the color reproduction is strong as well.
We take a picture of our test image in the laboratory under controlled lighting conditions. We are able to notice a significant blur in the image. However, the image is exposed appropriately and even larger areas of color are pictured correctly and without artifacts. Text on colored backgrounds does not cause any problems, however, the contrast between black text and dark blue background could be higher.
The color reproduction of our color chart is relatively bold and a little too bright.
The Vivo Nex Ultimate comes with a quick charger, a USB-C cable, a SIM tool, a protective cover, and a headset. Of course, the charger has a Chinese plug, so you might need an adapter. Many Chinese dealers, however, enclose a suitable adapter. You can guess, how the charger and headset are designed: very similar to Apple's accessories.
There is no warranty for the Vivo Nex Ultimate, because officially, the manufacturer offers products only for the Asian market. There are currently very few dealers in Europe who offer the smartphone, so you will not get a 2-year European warranty either. Please see our Guarantees, Return policies and Warranties FAQ for country-specific information.
There are some special features on the Vivo Nex Ultimate in terms of the input devices. There is no visible fingerprint reader, which does not mean that it does not exist. The fingerprint reader is hidden behind the display. It activates, as soon as you approach or move the smartphone. This is shown by a symbol appearing on the screen. You will quickly notice, that the technology is working well but not perfectly: While you have to wait not even a second to unlock other devices with your finger, it takes the Vivo smartphone quite a moment to recognize your finger. The accuracy is also lower than on other devices. Furthermore, the fingerprint reader is sleeping as long as you do not see the symbol. It does not help to touch the spot, even if you know where it is. You first have to activate the phone.
Vivo developed an own keyboard app similar to Apple's iOS keyboard, but it is not useful for European customers. First, there is only an English layout available. Second, it often switches to a Chinese input mode for password entry. However, the installation of other keyboard apps from the Play Store is hassle-free.
There is a distinct button on the left side of the case for activating the voice assistant, which is not useful for western users, because it only speaks Chinese. You can set up an action that happens, if you are pressing the volume down button for a longer time, while the phone is in standby mode: There are a single-hand mode, a split screen mode (only working with preinstalled apps), and some motion gestures available.
The Android navigation controls can be displayed on the screen, however, Vivo usually uses swipe gestures from the bottom of the display for menu control. It works quite intuitively, once you get used to it.
The large, almost bezel-less display is obviously the highlight of the Vivo Nex Ultimate. Its resolution is 2,316 x 1,080 pixels, which is technically a significantly widened Full HD resolution. Especially the strange aspect ratio of 2.14:1 and the uncommon screen size of 6.59 inches make the Vivo smartphone special. Other high-end devices offer more pixels, but the AMOLED display is sharp and 388 PPI is absolutely sufficient.
With 352 cd/m² however, the average brightness is too low. The LG G7 ThinQ offers almost three times the brightness and all the other competing devices are significantly brighter as well. With 95%, the distribution of brightness is quite consistent. Large colored areas are evenly illuminated.
The display backlight flickers at 117.9 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) .
The frequency of 117.9 Hz is very low, so the flickering may cause eyestrain and headaches after extended use.
We noticed a significant screen flickering at a brightness level below 15%. The frequency of 117.9 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users should test the screen first, before buying the smartphone.
It is not possible to change the white balance or other settings. There is only a blue light filter called Global Eye Protection. A test with the software CalMAN and the spectrophotometer reveals a considerable orange color cast. We notice a slight blue color cast with the default settings. With the blue light filter activated, the divergence from the reference color space is significantly higher. If set to normal, the overall divergences are slightly higher than on other smartphones in this price range. Although the measurements with CalMAN offer only an indication for coverage of the color gamut, sRGB seems to be covered pretty well. However, AdobeRGB is not reached.
The Vivo Nex Ultimate struggles during outdoor use, because the peak brightness is relatively low. The brightness sensor is not able to change that. At least, the sensor reacts quickly and reliably to changing light conditions.
The viewing angle stability of the screen is pretty good. The screen is always well readable and there is no brightness decrease when looking at the screen from the side.
As a real high-end smartphone, the Vivo Nex Ultimate features the Snapdragon 845, which, as of now, is the fastest SoC from Qualcomm. This is why the device can keep up with current smartphones and even outperform last year's Samsung Galaxy Note 8. In day-to-day use, you can notice the high performance during scrolling through menus and in fast reacting apps.
The SoC also contains the graphics unit Adreno 630, which is one of the fastest mobile graphics chips at the moment. Therefore, the Vivo smartphone does not have any problems to keep up with the graphics performance of other current high-end devices.
However, web browsing on the Vivo Nex Ultimate feels like someone has activated the handbrake. You have to wait much too long for loading images on websites and the overall loading times are also quite long. Benchmarks show only a low performance at rendering web contents. Complex HTML-5 sites such as Google's Interland however, are rendered quite quickly, which shows that the Vivo device is acting strangely. It might be possible for Vivo to improve the web performance by delivering a patch.
The 256 GB UFS-2.1 storage is read out and written very fast, although it does not reach the extremely fast Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S. Nevertheless, apps are launched very quickly on the Vivo Nex Ultimate.
We test the games "Arena of Valor" and "Asphalt 8: Airborne". The frame rates are measured reliably by the app GameBench. We really wanted to test the demanding Battle-Royale-Game "PUBG Mobile" as well as "Shadow Fight 3", but the installation process was interrupted repeatedly. The games that we are able to test run smoothly. "Arena of Valor" even runs with 60 FPS without any problems.
Apart from installation problems with some games, we can recommend the Vivo Nex Ultimate for gaming because the control via touchscreen or acceleration sensor works smoothly and without any delay.
During the GFXBench battery test, we were able to notice a throttling of the CPU and GPU after some time. After only a few runs of the benchmark, the frame rate dropped significantly. Eventually, only 85% of the performance was available.
The surface temperatures of the case, at the same time, are not dramatically high: 45.9 °C (~115 °F) is quite noticeable and a bit uncomfortable for high ambient temperatures, but not critical. At least, it is not the whole smartphone that becomes that warm. During longer idle times, the warming is hardly noticeable.
(-) The average temperature for the upper side under maximal load is 41.9 °C / 107 F, compared to the average of 33.1 °C / 92 F for the devices in the class Smartphone.
The mono speaker sits on the bottom edge of the device and can be quite loud: We measure up to 82.5 dB(A) using our test microphone and the software ARTA. At peak volume, the music playback is really loud, however, there is a very slight hum and high frequencies sound unpleasant. At three quarters of the peak volume, the sound becomes more balanced and is still quite audible in every spot of a medium sized room. The speaker can certainly keep up with other high-end smartphones, but does not break any records in terms of sound quality.
The included headset or other headsets can be connected via a 3.5 mm headphone jack. The sound reproduction is clean and you can activate a DSD mode with hardware decoding for the headphones output, and a Hi-Fi mode. The latter however, is only supported by some preinstalled apps.
All current standards up to Bluetooth 5.0 are usable and the sound reproduction over Bluetooth is clean as well.
The overall power consumption of the Vivo smartphone is low compared to other high-end devices. However, if switched off, there is still some energy consumption, which is not really good. As soon as you turn on the device, the energy consumption is pleasantly low. Even under high load, the power consumption is moderate, it reaches a maximum of 7.2 W.
The very high battery capacity of 4,000 mAh is reflected in a battery life, which is one of the best in the high-end field: The smartphone endures over 17 hours in our Wi-Fi test. This is an excellent value. Thus, the Vivo Nex Ultimate easily survives a full day of work or school. Even if you do not charge the device for several days, you do not have to be afraid of running out of power when you are on the go.
The charger features the up-to-date QuickCharge 4+ standard, which is claimed to be more secure and even faster. In fact, the battery will be charged completely within one hour using the included 22.5-W charger.
The Vivo Nex Ultimate is a fascinating smartphone: First, it shows the technology of the coming years. Second, it shows that Chinese manufacturers can deliver a neatly translated operating system and adaptions to the western market. And there are so many things to gaze at: the extending front-facing camera, sliding out with a futuristic sound, the fingerprint reader and the speaker, both hidden behind the display, and the case, shimmering in every color of the rainbow. Additionally, the device offers high performance and good cameras.
With all fascination for the device, you should not ignore that you will not get a perfect smartphone for a price of 699 Euros (~$820): The case looks stylish, but is made from ordinary feeling material, the Wi-Fi is slower than on other high-end devices, and the GPS could work more precisely. The speaker is not the best one. The SoC offers high performance, however, it will be throttled considerably under load. The screen is somewhat dark and shows some flickering at low brightness levels. The fingerprint reader takes a while to detect a finger, if it is able to recognize it at all.
Bezel-less, packed with the latest technology and very stylish: This is the Vivo Nex Ultimate. It is not perfect, but a true recommendation for technology enthusiasts, and those who want to become one.
However, the battery life is simply amazing: After 17 hours of continuous Wi-Fi web browsing without any power outlet in reach, you may forgive the smartphone quite some things. Therefore, we can recommend the Vivo Nex Ultimate to anyone, who can live with some minor shortcomings, and is looking for a smartphone standing out from the crowd and having innovative features.

Fee - starting at Rs. 1,25,000/- inclusive of taxes. No of Drawings - 15 No. Delivered Drawings include - Floor Plans (2 No), Sections, Elevations, External 3D View of the House along with Area Statement Time Frame - 20 to 30 Days Revisions - Four Revisions to floor plan designs and any other modifications. Additional drawings are charged seperately Sample Drawings - Check the Sample Drawings Page on our Website to see the quality of drawings that you can expect at the end of the process.
Passive design is inspired by climate, framed by the environment and built for comfort. In an ecologically diverse environment such as India, there is no one size fits all approach to passive design in both residential and commercial properties. Depending on your location in India, your passive design needs will be influenced by hot dry conditions, wet and humid conditions and cold and damp conditions.

Are you tired of renting an apartment and you're thinking of owning your own house? Do you want to do some renovations in your house? Do you have your own plot on which you're planning to build your own house? However, you may ask, "How am I going to start?" "Whom should I ask?" "Should I just do this on my own without consulting a professional?" "Will it be wise to hire a professional architect for the job or they will be expensive?" These are some of the questions that you may consider when you start thinking about building your own house. Further reading will help you understand the right steps that you need to take in this matter.
Many house developers have been in dilemma over the choice between one-floor house plans and multiple-floor house plans. It always seems like a good idea to have two or three floor house plan for a family as there are extra rooms which in case of guests and children can work as Guest Bedroom, Study, Kids Play Area, Puja room, etc. But a very common observation has been there that a more area and space is always welcome at the beginning of house construction, but over the years when the family starts living and using the space that there are lots to maintain and deal with, which in turn is waste of initial capital investment. Rather conserve funds for the overall maintenance of the house over period of time. With this article we would like to raise few reasons which we feel can explain why it is preferable to choose one-floor house plans.
How to get your house designed while keeping the budget in check.
In current times, it has become increasingly difficult for people to build their house, particularly for people on a tight budget. Based on our experience in building homes, this dilemma is not necessarily due to the ever increasing price of raw materials and labour, but may arise from something as simple as not having a proper house planning from the get-go.
There is certainly no infallible method of making a house on a budget. Most methods are probably good ones, as millions of people have built millions of homes, based on their own idiosyncrasies. But since it is the most important buy for the family, the construction of a house must always be preceded with reflection of the most serious magnitude. Decisions should be carried out on a bedrock of information gathering that paints a complete and concrete picture of your new home. Remember, there is no turning back once the plan has been handed over to the contractor.


Marley Shebala's Notebook » Navajo Council Delegate Leonard Tsosie says President Shelly afraid of Navajo Supreme Court.
Navajo Council Delegate Leonard Tsosie says President Shelly afraid of Navajo Supreme Court.
this was long discussion, past midnight. vote occured and it was passed and became CO-47-14 and submitted to President Shelly, who vetoed it.
as you all recall, CO-47-14, was to allow voters to determine fluency of candidates and included other elected officials. it was presented by Delegate Danny Simpson and I voted for it. this now needs two-thirds vote of Council.
and what has since happened then is Dr. Stago, educated individual, analyzed Supreme Court decision and found that it may have not been correct.
Like Delegate Jonathan Nez said this is about healing. and one of saying healing is that it's all water under the bridge, make amends or ask pple what concerned about and how make whole and that is what over-ride legislation is about. with due respect to President Shelly, he had said that he would sign but then he vetoed it and so there was deception by president. when we do that then we should not reject or enact by deception. it is wrong by doing so and the council can make whole what we tried to do.
and i looked at president's letter and he appears to be afraid of supreme court instead of signing and making law.
and the question then becomes on how it would be used and i believe that since this legislation is new then we would nullify retroactive effect but supreme court beat us. some think we could do this and i think we cud do that by asking for a special election on the candidate of their choice and that is how to bring healing back. but i've always asked people to remain calm. there is split in community and important that we act on it.
i've also heard to put into referendum and this is like a referendum by giving the people the choice to choose their leader.

Q: Classifying Data in a New Column I have following df:
Column 1
1
2435
3345
104
505
6005
10000
80000
100000
4000000
4440
520
...

This structure is not the best to plot a histogram, which is the main purpose. Bins don't really solve the problem either, at least from what I've tested so far. That's why I like to create my own bins in a new column:
I basically want to assign every value within a certain range in column 1 a bucket in column2, so that it look like this:
Column 1    Column2
1           < 10000
2435        < 10000
3345        < 10000
104         < 10000
505         < 10000
6005        < 10000
10000       < 50000
80000       < 150000
100000      < 150000
4000000     < 250000
4440        < 10000
520         < 10000
...

Once I get there, creating a plot will be much easier.
Thanks!

A: There is a pandas equivalent to this cut there is a section describing this here. cut returns the open closed intervals for each value:
In [29]:
df['bin'] = pd.cut(df['Column 1'], bins = [0,10000, 50000, 150000, 25000000])
df

Out[29]:

    Column 1                 bin
0          1          (0, 10000]
1       2435          (0, 10000]
2       3345          (0, 10000]
3        104          (0, 10000]
4        505          (0, 10000]
5       6005          (0, 10000]
6      10000          (0, 10000]
7      80000     (50000, 150000]
8     100000     (50000, 150000]
9    4000000  (150000, 25000000]
10      4440          (0, 10000]
11       520          (0, 10000]

The dtype of the column is a Category and can be used for filtering, counting, plotting etc.

A: numpy.histogram takes a bins parameter which can be an integer array, and returns an array of the counts within those bins. So, if you run
import numpy as np

counts, _ = np.histogram(df[`Column 1`].values, [10000, 50000, 150000, 250000])

You will have the bins you want. From here, you can do whatever you want, including plotting the number of counts within each bin:
plot(counts)

Transitional style is a marriage of traditional and contemporary furniture, finishes, materials and fabrics equating to a classic, timeless design. The result is an elegant, enduring design that is both comfortable and classic. Because of their simple design, Asian, Shaker and Mission-style furnishings are often a nice match for transitional interior design.
Whereas traditional and modern schemes may introduce a few opposing elements in their designs, transitional style strikes the perfect balance between the two. Through its simple lines, neutral color scheme, and use of light and warmth, transitional style joins the best of both the traditional and modern worlds. The lines of transitional furniture are typically straight, though the occasional soft, sweeping curve may be thrown in for good measure. This furniture style creates a room that is not too manly and not too frilly, making it comfortable for all.
An emphasis is placed on moderately scaled pieces that exude an unassuming, refined style. Color palettes are very subtle, with an emphasis on ivory, beige and tan, creating a scheme that is relaxing and uncomplicated.


Modern intensive agriculture has made tremendous gains in food production, with yields tripling since 1950. However, these gains have not come without costs, including water pollution, soil depletion, loss of biodiversity, and extensive use of chemical herbicides and pesticides. More effort is going into exploring agricultural methods that work with natural systems, rather than fighting them, and creating farming which can support sustainable yields around the world.
