I Can't Finish With My Partner, And Here's Why That's OK
By Kristine Fellizar
Ashley Batz/Bustle
I recently dated a guy who I couldn't finish with during sex. We had a good amount of sex. I liked him a lot, we had great chemistry and the foreplay was hot AF. But not to keep score or anything — because scorekeeping when it comes to sex never gets you anywhere good — out of all the times we had sex, he came 100 percent of the time, while I barely orgasmed maybe two or three times. But I'm not alone here.
A recent study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior found a huge orgasm gap between straight women and everyone else. While 95 percent of straight men and 86 percent of lesbians say they usually or always orgasm, only 65 percent of straight women can say the same.
While some tend to get concerned that they're unable to finish with their partner, I'm not. After some reassuring, neither was he. "People need to stop thinking of their sex life as a series of individual sexual encounters which have to be judged on their own merit, as either a pass or a fail," certified sexologist and relationship therapist, Kelly McDonnell-Arnold tells Bustle. Instead, you need to think of your sex life as more of a journey where you learn more about each other, become more intimate, and learn to let go of the things that don't really matter. Like achieving an orgasm every time.
"Flexibility, change, and unpredictability are what keep a long-term sexual relationship alive and exciting," she says. So just because you're in a relationship and having sex often, it doesn't mean you're guaranteed to have an orgasm every single time. Some people can always finish with their partner, others can only do it sometimes, and some just can't or haven't been able to altogether. But you know what? It doesn't have to be a big deal. If you're someone who can't ever finish with a partner, here's why that's OK:
1. Orgasms Don't Have To Be The End Goal
I am all about closing the orgasm gap just as much as much as the next person. But orgasms should never be thought of as the end goal. In fact, research has found that thinking sex should always end in an orgasm can have emotionally damaging effects on a relationship if one partner can't finish. It's not hard to imagine why. For the most part, everyone wants to feel like they're good in bed. But the definition of "good" differs from person to person. "When orgasms become the goal every time you have sex, then every time you're together you'll end up feeling like you're being given a grade (i.e. pass or fail)," McDonnell-Arnold says. "Doing so only adds another level of stress to sex that it wasn't designed to have."
As soon as you make it your goal to finish every time, it automatically becomes less likely that you will, she says.
2. Instead, Sex Should Be About Building Intimacy
"When couples or individuals come to me asking questions that concern problems and dissatisfaction with orgasms, one of the first things I suggest is to shift focus from orgasm to the overall act of intimacy," McDonnell-Arnold says.
Intimacy is what makes you feel connected to your partner — and it's not determined by how many orgasms you have. "You just have to enjoy being together, laugh, and have fun," she says. "If you can't laugh, you're too uptight, and you're doing it wrong."
3. Some Positions Aren't As Orgasm-Friendly As Others
Caroline Wurtzel/Bustle
Everyone has their sex position of choice. Some women prefer missionary, others like being on top, and then there are those who like to get creative. It's important to know that the way you or your partner like to have sex may not be the best for female orgasms. For instance, if doggy style is your position of choice, it's great for hitting the G-spot and for those who can finish on vaginal penetration alone. But it's not so great for stimulating the clitoris.
If you want some female-orgasm friendly positions, a recent study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior found there's a "golden trio" of sex moves that can boost your chances. According to the study, it's all about incorporating a mix of genital stimulation, deep kissing, and oral sex.
4. You Might Have To Sacrifice An Orgasm For A Little Adventure
When you like to get creative with your sex life, you may sacrifice an orgasm or two. For instance, when I was with my ex, he was all for doing it in more adventurous locations like on the roof of his apartment building. Before him, I haven't had sex in weird places since college. Even though I didn't orgasm, I never saw having fun as a consolation prize. Plus, the spontaneity of those moments had a way of bringing us closer together since it was just something the two of us shared.
5. There Are Many Ways To Feel Pleasure That Don't Involve Orgasms
There are two goals of sex, Heather Claus, the owner of DatingKinky.com tells Bustle. One is to experience intimacy, and another is to experience pleasure. "Orgasms are one way to help further those goals, but not the be-all-end-all," she says. "In fact, there are many ways to feel pleasure that don't involve orgasm."
A really great way to do that is to give your partner a massage, she suggests. Even a non-sexual one can feel amazingly pleasurable. You can learn all of your partner's erogenous zones through your massage, and as a bonus, touching can even help increase intimacy. "It's incredibly thrilling to hear your partner tell you how much they adore you," she says. "While you run your hands over your partner's body, talk to them, telling them how much their body drives you wild, how you can't get enough of them, touching them, loving them. This is not just physical sensation, but adds closeness, because you are communicating your desires on another level."
Another idea? Read some erotic lit while touching each other. You can also play a game like Touch Me Like This, Touch Me Like That, where you give your partner pleasurable touches and strokes with your hands, lips, tongue, teeth or even toys, while their eyes are closed. You can learn new things about each other, or even just release some oxytocin by holding each other. "Combine any of these ideas together, to add layers of pleasure and enjoyment," she says.
6. It's OK If Both Partners Believe It's OK
When my ex realized I wasn't going to finish anytime soon when he was already done, he felt bad. I, on the other hand, never felt torn up about it. Instead, I'd just finish myself off and let him watch. He always ended up enjoying that.
Sexually, there wasn't anything wrong with either of us. We were also pretty compatible with what we liked in bed overall. But for some reason, it just didn't happen with us most of the time. So after reassuring him that everything was OK, he finally became OK with it too. We focused more on having fun and experimenting, which I think was a lot more sexually satisfying than trying to make me come — that can be super exhausting and frustrating for both parties if nothing's happening.
You shouldn't compare your sexual experience to anybody else's. That's one way to make you feel like your sex life sucks regardless of whether you orgasm all the time or not. So if you're cool, you're partner's cool, then your sex life should be great just as it is.
7. But If You're Starting To Feel Like It's Not, Don't Worry
Things only become problems when you make it one. So if you can't orgasm with your partner and it's becoming distressing to either of you, then you definitely need to discuss it. If it's a problem that you both want to fix, you can do it. It's important to know that orgasming with a partner just doesn't come naturally to some. "It's just like any skill," Claus says. "Some people are better at learning 'the knack' of it than others."
And if you don't? Know that you can still have an amazing sex life.

The Schoonhoven prize is devoted to inspiring artists to explore the boundaries of their traditional art and craft. i.e. stimulating the exploration of new technologies and uses, and innovative art forms. Innovation, as envisioned in the Award's present edition, would center on the rejuvenation of older, time-honored techniques, and on the preservation of an immaterial heritage by injecting dynamic new life.
An exhibition of all nominated works will be presented in a 3 month exhibition at the Nederlands Zilvermuseum Schoonhaven and will then travel to several cities in Belgium and Germany.
Now at the Gallery...
Arnoldsche Art Publishers Presents:
Inspired by the Arte Povera movement, jewellery artist Annamaria Zanella combines base materials with precious metals. The unmistakable blue pigment, produced according to a recipe from the fourteenth century, is just as important as plastic or corroded steel. Their interplay reveals the indwelling energy of the jewellery.
The pieces of the twice winner of the Herbert Hofmann Prize contain personal impressions and wearable references to nature surrounding her. The artist's living reality - and thus her oeuvre - also encompasses the political, the question of how we as a society want to live together.

Fake News and True Love: Fourteen Stories by Robert Baines
Museum of Arts and Design:
Oct. 16, 2018 - March 3, 2019
Fake News and True Love is a clever examination of jewelry as a document of popular cultural history. The artist's fanciful pieces and accompanying "evidence" encourage belief in the fourteen stories he presents. Baines has fabricated alternate realities that span from B.C.E. to the present day and encompass an equally wide range of topics, including migration, conspiracy, forgery, celebrity, and politics.

Document Image Analysis (DIA) was established to address the need for the automated analysis of scanned paper documents, but has since evolved to incorporate a great variety of text containers that include scene images, video sequences, and digital-born (Web and email) images. These types of text containers introduce a range of different problems for document analysis such as anti-aliasing and compression artefacts. Moreover due to their nature have forced a shift of paradigm in the Document Analysis field as we now have to deal with text in complex colour contexts as opposed to the traditional black and white documents.
The ICDAR 2011 Robust Reading competition will carry on from the tradition of previous similar competitions organized in ICDAR 2003 and 2005 but at the same time it will offer a much broader test-bed for participating authors. Two challenges will be organized focused on one hand on camera captured Scene Images and on the other hand on digitally created Web and Email Images.
While scene and born-digital text images appear on the surface very similar to each other at the same time they are distinctly different. Born-digital images are inherently low-resolution (made to be transmitted online and displayed on a screen) and text might suffer from compression artifacts and severe anti-aliasing. Scene text images on the other hand are high-resolution camera captured ones and present high illumination variability and perspective problems.
Therefore it is not necessarily true that methods developed for one domain would work in the other (or is it?). This year we have set out to find out through a the ICADR 2011 Robust Reading competition that contains challenges on both domains. We strongly encourage authors interested to participate to submit results to both challenges! This would allow us to do a meaningful comparison, while it involves minimal effort from the part of the participants (both challenges are structured the same way). Plus you get a second chance to win!
The challenge is set up around three tasks: Text Localization, Text Segmentation (Born-digital images only) and Word Recognition. Participation in any or all tasks and in one or both challenges is welcome! Check the individual challenge Web sites for information.
Datasets and ground-truth information will be prepared such that participants can choose to take part in any of the tasks independently. The competition will be organized in open mode. The test data will be made available for 3 days on the respective challenge websites and the participants will be asked to upload the results of their algorithm for each of the sub tasks till the deadline.

Q: vaadin custom layout setting a text area in a table with the location attribute I need to set a text area in the html template and use it as a custom component in vaadin the html snippet is as below

            JUNK SENTENCE

School of more than 50 students univer versities.

All the place holders are working and displays data but the "details" holder should be a text area.
 as the text is a lot over there so I tried the below way but it just turned the place holder to text vaadin could not manipulate / identify the "Details" place holder.
I tried the below way i set -  in side the text area tag.
  <textarea rows="4" cols="50">

            </textarea>

and again i tried this way too which also did not work.
<textarea rows="4" cols="50" location="Details">

    </textarea>

Any guidance would be appreciated to solve this
I am setting the needed values from a formfeildfactory and these values are set by implementing the Vaadin Custom field class(in case it helps some more to identify)

A: You will have to create vaadin textarea and textfields for your form elements.
You have then to place them in the custom layout via the "customLayout.addComponent(component, "locationName") " method
It will remove your  tags as described here:

Has everyone seen this move? Unfortunately the guy who made had to take it down I heard, and I think that's ridiculous. I'm glad Pat Condell is speaking out about it. Why isn't there more about Islam on this site? I've seen some stuff but I think there needs to be more in addition to everything else. Christianity and Judiasm (which I've seen almost nothing about on here, why is that?) get on my nerves A LOT, but Islam scares the hell out of me. Speak up about it more.
The reason you see so little about Judaism and Islam on this site in comparison to Christianity is that Christianity is the dominant religion in the U.S. Where it would appear the majority of people on this site live.
Orthodox Judaism and Islam both have vanishingly tiny population in the U.S., so we aren't really exposed to it directly.
Christianity on the other hand, surrounds us on a daily basis. And affects our lives in really negative ways. If Jews and Muslims started a large, well-financed campaign to put creationism into the classrooms, I'd be willing to bet you'd suddenly see a lot more posts about those religions here.
Tnanks for the links, I hadn't seen it yet.

I'm playing along with Merry Monday again and this weeks challenge really had me struggling. I've posted before about how much I dislike ovals...I don't know what it is but I have a horrible time trying to get an image in an oval and looking right. Yesterday morning I started this card and by the end of the day I had gotten rid of the original DSP and stamp set I had started with and ended up with something completely different. It may have taken me all day, with my attention being diverted several times throughout the process, but I am quite happy with the end results. I did turn the sketch but stayed true to everything else about it.
I like this! I love the crumb cake with the red. Very nice! What did you use on the other one?
Lovely card! Love the image.
OH, now that house image is PERFECT for a horizontal oval! And I like the monochromatic scheme you chose to go with, too.
Thank you so much for playing in the Merry Monday challenge!
Gorgeous! I am glad you persevered because this turned out to be a wonderful card! Thanks for playing with the Merry Monday challenge this week!
Such a elegant card Lisa, no struggle with ovals here! Just love this pretty card! Thank you for joining us at Merry Monday!
I love this, Lisa! Now I want this set for sure!
I'm glad you're happy with the results because this card is beautiful! You may well be the one who pushes me over the edge to wanting this set.

Bri started her band, titled "The Banned", in 2011 after a top 10 finish on CMT's Next Superstar.
Kody started playing music in the beginning of 2014, eager to take on as many acoustic gigs and songwriting competitions in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area that he could. As a frequent support act of the Texas Country/Red Dirt band Dalton Domino and the Front Porch Family, he took on the role of tour manager beginning of 2015.
Grant Gilbert established his country music credentials in 2017 with his debut EP, "Lost in Transition," and experienced success with his debut single, "On Guard" in subsequent years. On the outset of Gilbert's career, he demonstrated traditional country leanings but refined his sound with a classic rock influence, well-founded melodies, and strapping guitar hooks. Gilbert's version of the regional red dirt sound adjusts to his will and demonstrates an ability to cross over to a rock audience without a hitch, establishing him as an emerging paragon for the genre.
This fun local band pleases the crowd with their old school R&B. Closing the festival Sunday morning, 12-3pm. Come out to enjoy the good weather, the Art Village and some Sunday Street Food and cold drinks.


The old uboot code had, amazingly enough, 21k lines of unit tests. But they were not useful unit tests, as one had to run each program individually, and they each had a bunch of (different) prerequisites, such as account_id 3 existing and having an empty inbox, and so on. And with the older tests, their output would be a bunch of print statements (e.g. insert message; print count of messages), and one would have to compare the printed output with the expected results (which weren't documented anywhere).
I am converting them to PerlUnit (which is a clone of JUnit) so that we can automatically and easily run as many tests as possible before each release. This is an incredibly productive task, as I don't even need to write new unit tests (and think about testing strategy), I'm just converting the lines to a format enabling them to be convenient to run!


Success is such a relative word. How do you measure your own success? I was recently talking to my brother about this while I was delayed in the Portland Maine Airport. We couldn't decide how one measures success for themselves, and therefore if there was a scale upon which you could relate one's successes against another's.
It was told to me by a New Yorker while I was still in college that to be successful in the Acting field is to work. To work more than others. To consistently prove you are in the upper echelon of the field. That is the only way to success. Or so I was told.
That sounded exhausting to me. So I chose a different path. I forged my own. I decided right then and there that I would work hard, and tirelessly for me. Not for comparisons, and not for the sake of people telling stories about me, or for my parents to brag. I decided to work hard, every day, for me and me alone.
I was fortunate enough that after college, I was employed essentially straight from June 1st until the end of September. I used that time to focus my craft, cultivate friendships, and most importantly, enjoy myself. It's easy for me to forget that I do this because I love it. I feel truly alive in the moments where I remember that I am lucky enough to not have a job that I hate, that I'm able to support myself on my art, and that I'm able to be surrounded by some of the greatest people I've ever known.
I have been very fortunate in my first year post-grad, having not stopped working with the exception of a period from october to mid December; and in that unemployment period, I worked hard to hold on to that feeling of success. What that meant in my world is that I went out to auditions daily. I got up early, got there in time to be among the first few in line. Waited all day. Got seen. Didn't get seen. Worked my songs. Worked my monologues. Read my sides. Actively went to pieces of theatre and worked to meet people afterwards. Started writing a play in my free time. Organized events with friends so I wouldn't lose sight of what keeps me going. I worked 50-60 hours a week at two jobs. I was happy, and I was fulfilled. I was unemployed in my field, but I was working to make ends meet, and I felt successful.
Luck has been on my side, I have been in the right places at the right time, and I have the disposition and work ethic to capitalize on and take advantage of that luck. That answer always appeases people, it makes them feel like it can happen to anyone at any time, and I myself am a firm believer in that adage.
That answer doesn't feel truthful to me, though. I feel like I'm cheapening myself, and my success. I feel successful so why do I have to chalk my successes up to chance? Why can't I celebrate in my victories? If it was all luck, I would never be in this industry. I don't play chance. I don't gamble with my life. So I have had a hard time coming up with an answer to this question that satisfies others, while still feeling satisfied myself.
Before long I was off again, 6 months of employment at two different theaters, taking me from the day after christmas until June 4th. I was ecstatic. There was something different, though, about this batch of employment. It started great, the jobs themselves were wonderful, but my attitude started souring. I was feeling less fulfilled, more stagnant, which made no sense. I was working, so I wasn't stagnant. Then how is it I felt more fulfilled auditioning and unemployed, than when employed, and employed well? Rather than try to answer the question, I took my solace in my success. I rested on my laurels. I began bragging to myself. I started comparing my employment streak to others'. I officially became everything that I hated in the initial answer I got in college. I was "successful", but I was unhappy. Over the course of those 6 months I found myself having more and more emotional roller coasters. More bad days. I found myself increasingly irritable, and having to constantly fight to keep my happy disposition with myself and with others. I would lock myself in a room and watch hours of Television when I wasn't performing. I found myself having to work harder and harder trying to find happiness in others and my art, and I found almost none in myself.
Those of you who know me well, know that's not me, and never has been. I am happy in my work, but it's always self-fulfilling. I don't need work to be happy. I simply need to be satisfied with myself to find happiness. What I was finding is that it is true, I am happy when I feel successful, and yet despite being an amazingly successful actor, I didn't feel like I had achieved success. I had lost something, and I didn't know what. I was "unsuccessful", now, despite my successes.
About six weeks ago I was talking to a dear friend of mine who is also an actor. He graduated in 2011 from a different program than I did and made the absolutely inspiring choice to not try and fight the masses. He was going to take time to move to the city, get a job or two that he really loved and get settled. He took the time to become a New Yorker, learning the ins and outs of this city that he had spent so long idolizing for his career. He went to no auditions, he worked 50 hours a week, he loved every second of it. He saw friends, he went to theatre, he didn't go to theatre, he joined a soccer league, he made new friends, he got a girlfriend, he paid his bills, and saved money, he went to bed at normal hours, and he went to bed at ungodly hours. He got very into Yoga. He taught himself how to cook. He lived his life as he wanted to. He kept up on his training, mind you. He took voice lessons, went to dance classes, enrolled in an acting class. When I talked to him those six weeks ago, he asked me what it was like to have not stopped working since I graduated in May of 2012. I told him I'd been pretty unhappy personally in the last couple of months, despite being ecstatic with my professional life, and I couldn't figure out what had changed. I asked what it was like to have taken a leave of absence from his chosen career. His answer changed everything for me.
"It couldn't be better, I have successfully achieved everything I set out to achieve when I graduated. I don't mean to be rude, but compared to many of my fellow graduates, who are constantly miserable, exhausted, broke, and unhappy? I'm a success story."
You're damn right he is. He is a success story, and I wasn't anymore. I had been a success story, and outwardly, to others, I was still perfectly successful, someone to aspire towards, someone to ask advice from. The difference between him and I, was that he had found personal success. He was happy, content, and self satisfied, and I wasn't. I took that lesson with me. I went back to the basics. I reevaluated, and I learned. I started trying to remind myself what it was that made me happy in the fall. I began writing again. I started looking forward. I no longer rested on my laurels, but I also didn't sink myself in fighting for the next job. I called friends that I'd lost track of and caught up. I sat down and I changed myself, and I found happiness within myself again.
Immediately after doing that I booked my next job. I had been auditioning for about 10 weeks at this point with no callbacks and no responses, and yet with just one life adjustment completely unrelated to theatre, I booked a job, but it didn't start until mid-August. I came back to New York, renewed, and ready to spend my summer in the city. I was unemployed, but excited to audition, and to live my life again. I auditioned only once in the week after returning to the city, and I booked that job as well. It will easily be the best thing that's happened to my career yet, and I can not even begin to tell you how excited to start working on this new musical.
Guess what? My friend called me yesterday to say he went to his first audition last week since he graduated college in 2011, and got a callback along with only five other guys. He just found out he's booked that National Tour in a leading role, and will be gone for a year. He took two years off of performing to center himself, and he's truly a success story, both to himself and to others, and someone I aspire to be like every day.
So how do you measure success? I recommend finding success in your own happiness, and not happiness in your success. When you are happy, your life is infinitely better. People can tell those who are happy, self-satisfied individuals, and they want to hire them. They want someone who's easy to work with, who's fun, who doesn't bring a lot of baggage to the table. In the 10 weeks of auditioning with my soured mood, I had all sorts of baggage that I'm sure people could read from a mile away. I shed that baggage, and changed nothing else about my audition technique, hell I even continued to sing the same songs, and here I am, a success story once again.
I find my happiness in myself, and I measure my success in my happiness, and I am proud to say that I have once again found success.

'Stand For Truth' crowd marched in silence to remember abuse survivors as Papal Mass took place
Demonstrators held a rally beforehand at Parnell Street in Dublin city centre.

AS THE VISIT by Pope Francis to Ireland culminated in a Mass delivered to more than 100,000 people in the Phoenix Park, an emotionally charged demonstration was taking place in Dublin city centre.
"What I want to do first of all, is let's take a moment to think about why we're here," lead organiser Colm O'Gorman, director of Amnesty International and a survivor of clerical sex abuse, told the crowd as the event got underway.
"Just for us as individuals, I want you to take a moment to think about why you're here, about your intent, about why you've come to this place today, to do what we're doing here, and just hold for that a moment."
The crowd fell silent.
We're here to stand for truth. We're here to stand and affirm what we know, and to talk about who we are, and who we will be.
Source: TheJournal.ie/YouTube
Organisers did not describe Stand For Truth as a protest. Instead, it was intended to be a demonstration to mark the upset, hurt, and anger that many feel towards the Catholic Church's role in Ireland over the past century, and the need to balance the fanfare Pope Francis has received with the realities that faced many in this country.
The pontiff himself addressed these abuses in unscripted remarks during his Mass.
Stand For Truth was timed for 3pm, as the pope was taking to the altar set on a stage built in front of the Papal Cross, itself constructed for the visit of Pope John Paul II in 1979.
More than a thousand people turned out for the Stand For Truth event, many carrying striking yellow-and-blue Stand For Truth placards, which were handed out before the demonstration got underway.
Over the course of an hour and a half, acts including Hozier, Villagers, and Brian Kennedy performed to the crowd, many passing on messages of support for the demonstration.

Others who took to the stage included author Marian Keyes
"Caught between terror and dishonour, Ireland made our abused people invisible," she told the crowd, "We made you invisible. We made you inaudible. We made your stories unreliable."
"And then, somehow, through the courage of a handful of extraordinary people, the truth about the Church's crimes began to be exposed, but the Church slandered and libeled those heroes.
The Church basically tried to gaslight our entire country.
Praising Ireland's progress as a country – a topic other speakers also praised – Keyes hit out at the Catholic Church's 'lack of humility' when addressing issues relating to Magdalene Laundries, mother and baby homes, institutional and clerical sex abuse:
We need a sincere sign they understand these are real children that they raped. These are real, joyful young women who had sex and got pregnant and then got shoved into a home to be made a slave for the rest of her life. These were real, vulnerable, little babies that were snatched from their mothers and stolen and sold.
We are real. They are real. Nothing they have said has acknowledged that we are real… I can't understand why they're not on their knees, begging for our forgiveness.
It feels like they're still not getting it.
During his own speech, O'Gorman referenced an article published by TheJournal.ie prior to the Pope's visit, which asked for readers to send in an paraphernalia they had relating to the visit of John Paul II in 1979.
This piece included the former pontiff's famous quote from that visit: 'Young people of Ireland, I love you.'
O'Gorman said this brought back painful memories, as a short time after that papal visit, he was raped by a priest.
He said the anger he felt – which he subsequently wrote about in an opinion piece for this website – was part of the inspiration for the need to mark the visit of Pope Francis with a demonstration.

O'Gorman praised the 'new Ireland' that emerged in the past two decades, describing it as people realising their own ability to not be guided by the advice of the Catholic Church:
We don't need to behind crowd control barries and wave papal flags as he walks by in a determined effort to ignore us. We know the truth. So now when I think about, 'Young people of Ireland, I love you', I think, 'No you didn't, you did not love us'. And we have discovered over the past twenty years the depths of how much you did not love us
The crowd then turned around, and marched in silence to the site of the former Magdalene Laundry on Sean McDermott Street, which in October 1996 became the last of these institutions to close.
The building is still owned by the Catholic Church. O'Gorman is calling for it to be preserved as a memorial.
Watch the march back on Facebook Live
The crowd's silence was not interrupted by shouting or beeping as they walked, aside from a few messages of support from passers-by, looks from tourists confused by the march of silent people, and a foreign television crew who had chosen the entrance to Our Lady of Lourdes Church along the route as their spot to record a piece to camera.

After that, performances continued, as the crowd slowly dispersed.
In the Phoenix Park, the pope's unscripted remarks went further than previous comments on abuses by the Catholic Church. Speaking in Spanish, he said:
"We ask forgiveness for the abuse in Ireland. Abuses of power, conscience and sexual abuse perpetrated by members with roles of responsibility in the Church.
"In a special way we ask pardon for all the abuses committed in various institutions run by male or female religious members of the Church and we ask for forgiveness for those cases of exploitation through manual work that so many young women and men were subjected to.
We ask forgiveness for the times that as a Church we did not show survivors of whatever kind of abuse compassion and the seeking of justice and truth through concrete actions. We ask for forgiveness.

We are all tempted by the idea of enjoying luxury, of buying a beautiful replica watch that will make us feel distinguished and stylish. This is exactly the reason why LuxuryReplica.org is alluring us with a large selection of best-selling designer timepieces, knockoffs that are more affordable than the authentic designs, but still enjoy the same glamour and elegance.
LuxuryReplica.org is a pretty common looking site, with a black and gray color scheme, and a few dashes of white and red. Nothing too bold, nothing too plain. On the top side there is a slim and wide black menu bar featuring a few of the available brands- the most important ones. There are many others which are revealed when you click on the "Other" button. By clicking it, you see a very long list of well-known watch companies: Zenith, U-Boat, Breguet, Chopard and much more.
Each brand is organized into collections and every single one includes a couple dozen different designs. The selection of replica watches is not that large. You can tell that the company is very keen on providing the best quality available and because of this it is very selective. This is also the reason why the site only sells Swiss made replicas, as this is the best grade you can find on the market. And as the store only has a limited number of replica watches which are already organized into sub-categories, it is understandable why it really does not need an advanced search to sort the products. You can find the desired watch very easily and quickly.
As I was saying earlier, the company does not carry Japanese movement watches. It only offers fake watches with a Swiss automatic mechanism. This means that the prices are a little bit higher than usual. These knockoffs cost about $500-$700.
The pictures are really beautiful. If I didn't know how the real catalog pictures look like I'd be sure that these were it. But these are just professional studio photographs made by LuxuryReplica.org with the purpose of proving how good its replicas really are. The clarity is exceptional, the watches are photographed from all sides and the images are completely covered by the company's watermark. This shows how much it cares about protecting its photos.
The product descriptions are also very well written, detailed and suggestive. They mention all the important information about these replicas, about their functionality, materials and design.
LuxuryReplica.org accepts payments by Visa, Bank Wire, Western Union, Money Bookers and Money Gram. These are some of the most trusted and used payment options in the world. Of course, some of them even come with a discount. For example, MoneyBookers come with a 1.9% discount, while Western Union, Bank Wire and Money Gram get 5% off.
Can you believe that this company actually says on its website "LuxuryReplica.org shopping means never having to pay for shipping". That's right, folks! All orders placed on this online site enjoy free worldwide delivery. How cool is that? No matter the value or weight of your package, it will be delivered free of charge with EMS, DHL, UPS or Fedex in about 5-8 business days.
Besides the 14 days full refund policy offered by LuxuryReplica.org, you also get a one year free repairs warranty. So if you got the watch and you are not happy with it then contact the store and request the return details so you can send it back before the first 14 days run out. They will issue a full refund. And after the first 10 days if your replica watch experiences any manufacturing defects then you can take advantage of the one year free repairs warranty.
The only way of contacting the company is by Contact Form, which is pretty disappointing. I was expecting a chat service or a contact phone number as well. There are times when you need an urgent and immediate response and in these cases only a phone or chat conversation will do the trick.
Luxuryreplica.org appears to be a pretty great online store with really good quality Swiss replica watches. Its collection isn't very large, but it is pretty selective and it includes the best-selling designer watches ever. Plus, the prices are decent; it has a wide array of payment options, free delivery and a one year warranty. What I totally dislike about this company is the fact that it doesn't have a very professional customer care department. Other than that, it appears to be a reputable online store.

Companies at the emerging edge
Posted by: Neil Johnston, Posted on: 19 January 2016 - Categories: emerging technologies, innovation excellence
Previous blogs have outlined why we consider Emerging Technologies exciting and "impossible". Here we get closer to the reality of creating the industries of tomorrow through the companies working at the forefront of these advances.
Ambition drives progress
Some of the companies which have made the most progress have combined incremental progress with ambitious goals and, to great effect. Take Gas Sensing Solutions, a Glasgow based company which specialises in the monitoring of gases, often in hostile environments where electricity supply is impossible and changing batteries a difficult or dangerous. So, harvesting energy from the environment is an obvious route to take and the company took advantage of our Energy Harvesting competitions to develop an autonomous CO2 sensor.
Demand for energy was reduced substantially by adopting a different way of measuring gas concentrations and, the light available indoors was taken as the maximum available in many of the situations in which sensors are used. This twin track approach led to a 5000x reduction in energy demand which meant that sufficient energy could be gleaned from a solar panel.
Two solar arrays on this small chip, eliminating the need for energy from a light bulb! However, this solar panel is not like those you see on roofs but is the size of a match head and came from another UK company: Solar Press!
Another company at the leading edge of energy harvesting is Perpetuum, a spin out from the University of Southampton in 2004 and now a global leader in vibration energy harvesting. The company has a strong focus on the rail sector where its Rail Harvester product offers a perpetual power solution, optimised for the vibration spectra typically found in a rail environment. This allows train operators to monitor the state of wheel bearings and replace them before they fail. It also saves money compared with the previous approach of replacement at fixed intervals and Perpetuum's revolutionary technology is now deployed and operational on the UK, Australian and Swedish national passenger rail networks.
Like many companies exploring the potential for new technologies, the more progress they made, the greater the opportunities which emerged. Having solved the challenge of monitoring the bearings, Perpetuum is now promoting the concept of a fully condition monitored train offering improved comfort for passengers, greater reliability and security.
Life sciences emerging technology
In the life sciences, progress is no less dramatic. Printing tissues and mini-organs has recently been achieved by using modified ink-jet printer technology in the field of bio fabrication. This novel method of direct printing live cells opens up a new paradigm in tissue science for drug discovery and therapeutic applications. Funded under Innovate UK's Emerging Technologies programme the project aim is to develop the first commercial bio printer capable of printing human embryonic stem cells without damage. Based on the valve-based printing methods pioneered at Heriot-Watt University the project also relies heavily on Renishaw's strong track record in Additive Manufacturing including the world's first 3D printed cycle:
Assembled 3D printed metal bike frame.
Bike frame 'build kit', the whole frame was built in one build on a single build plate.
The crossover of expertise and knowledge
This project exemplifies another feature of many 'emerging technologies': the interdisciplinary nature of the work and the crossover of expertise and knowledge from one branch of science or industrial sector to another.
A recent example was the presence of Warburtons at Innovate 2015, the annual showcase for our work. When asked why they were attending, they replied that, if they went to food events, they inevitably met the same suppliers to the food sector with the same solutions but delegates at Innovate 2015 represented technologies and sectors way outside their experience. And it works; attending the same event two years ago resulted in five new collaborations!
