Most holly diseases are fungal and symptoms often involve leaf discoloration.
Many species of holly tree (Ilex spp.) are grown throughout the United States. Although exact temperature requirements vary from one variety to the next, hollies can generally be grown in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 through 9. Most diseases that affect holly trees are caused by fungi, causing only cosmetic damage in landscape plantings. Root rots, however, are lethal and can live in the ground for many years even without a holly tree present. Prevention is the best form of treatment and holly diseases can often be avoided by practicing sound garden management techniques. Take extra steps, however, when you know there is a problem or you live in an area where one is likely.
Choose disease resistant holly varieties such as Chinese holly (Ilex cornuta) and English holly (Ilex aquifolium) whenever possible, especially when planting in areas known to contain or be susceptible to root rots. Both Chinese and English holly are recommended for USDA zones 7 through 9. Always plant hollies in well-drained soil or raised beds, making sure the top of the root ball is slightly higher than the surrounding soil.
Prune your holly tree in the summer to thin the branches to improve air circulation and reduces the risk of disease. Cut unwanted limbs off at the branch union. Remove dead or damaged limbs along with any that cross each other or grow back toward the trunk first, then continue thinning as needed.
Water holly trees rather at the base. When overhead irrigation is the most desirable way to water, irrigate in the morning so there is ample drying time before nightfall.
Rake up fallen leaves under the holly periodically and keep the area free of debris. Bag or burn the leaves to prevent the spread of disease. When leaf diseases are known to be present, gently shake the holly bush or sweep it with a rake to remove as many diseased leaves as possible before raking the ground.
Spray the holly tree with a general purpose fungicide every seven to 14 days from spring through summer. Thiophanate-methyl is effective against most diseases, including leaf spots and blights as well as anthracnose. Use 1 tablespoon of thiophanate-methyl per gallon of water.
Perform a soil drench every four to 12 weeks during the spring and summer where preventing root rots is a concern. Mix 6 to 12 ounces of thiophanate-methyl per every 100 gallons of water and thoroughly saturate the ground around the plant with the mixture. Thoroughly water the area immediately.
Remove trees that are known to have contracted a root rot disease. Signs of root rots include yellowing leaves, noticeably slowed plant growth, twig dieback and possible limb dieback. Amend the soil to improve drainage and replace the tree with a resistant variety.
Prevention is best, buy you can wait until your holly tree shows signs of disease to apply fungicide sprays, to use chemicals only if necessary.
While thiophanate-methyl works on a wide variety of holly diseases, other fungicides may specifically target some diseases. Visit your local garden center for help identifying and resolving an issue if this chemical does not solve the problem.

Really pleasure working there Nothing disappointed me,except of myself for stopping working there. Big mistake,regret it but that's life!
I worked at MOMO for about 3 years,mr Koliousis Gianis was very generous with me.Beautiful shop,nice selection of jewellery and accessories,really pleasure working there. I miss "my" shop!


Saying that my husband adores Justin Bieber is an understatement. Justin's songs are his favourite cruisin music at the moment and good luck in stopping him from singing-a-long with much gusto - even if he doesn't really know the lyrics.
I'm posting here the correct lyrics for his benefit.
You know you love me. I know you care.
You want my love. You want my heart.
Are we an item? Girl quit playing.
Said there's another, look right in my eyes.
I thought you'd always be mine, mine.
I thought you'd always be mine, mine (oh oh).
For you, I would have done whatever.
And I just can't believe, we ain't together.
And I wanna play it cool. But I'm losin' you.
I'll buy you anything. I'll buy you any ring.
And I'm in pieces. Baby fix me.
I thought youd always be mine, mine.
There was nobody that compared to my baby.
She had me goin' crazy.
She woke me up daily.
She made my heart pound.
At school on the playground.
She know she got me gazin'.
Cuz she was so amazin'.
And now my heart is breakin'.


Important information SIPPs are a type of pension for people happy to make their own investment decisions. Investments go down in value as well as up so you could get back less than you invest. Pensions are meant for your retirement, so you normally can't access your money until any time after your 55th birthday (57 from 2028). Tax rules can change and tax reliefs depend on your circumstances. If you're not sure which investments are right for you, we can put you in touch with one of our advisers.
Over the last few years, the Scottish government has been given increasingly wide-ranging powers over setting their own income tax rates and bands.
They've now made full use of these powers for the first time, making a number of changes to income tax.
There are five tax bands for Scottish taxpayers, starting this tax year (2019/20).
The rest of the UK only has the personal allowance and three bands (basic rate, higher rate and additional rate).
Only Scottish income taxpayers are affected.
Scottish taxpayer status applies for the entire tax year. It's not possible to be a Scottish taxpayer for only part of it.
Is pension tax relief affected?
The government tops up personal contributions with basic-rate tax relief (currently 20%), instantly boosting the amount of money saved (even if you pay tax at a rate below basic rate). This hasn't changed.
Scottish taxpayers with income above £24,945 can claim back up to a further 26% when they make a personal contribution but this extra amount won't be added automatically. They will need to complete a tax return or write to their local tax office.
Please remember, you need to pay enough tax at the higher rate to claim back the full amount of tax relief.
How much tax relief could you get?
Remember, to receive tax relief, your personal contributions are limited by the amount you earn that tax year. If you are a non-earner or earn less than £3,600, you can still pay in £2,880 which the government will top up to £3,600. Money held in a pension cannot normally be accessed until age 55 (57 from 2028), up to 25% tax-free and the rest taxed as income.


Yet again this year's workshop was another well-organised event with lots of activities for the children to participate in. As well as wrapping presents to take home the children coloured Christmas cards and made a beautiful Christmas ornament to take home. Thank you to the PTA and to all the volunteers - the children loved it all!


Despite having the same hair, skin tone, bone structure, body type, sense of excitement, eyes, forehead, ears and general energy, Olivia Sturgiss is NOT Taylor Swift.
If you think about it, fandom can really only go so far.
I mean, yes, you can wear your favorite movie/music/sports star's clothes and personal line of fragrances, but aside from that, there is no real way for normal people to truly emulate someone famous without getting elective cosmetic surgery.
Unless, you naturally just look like a celebrity, kind of like how Olivia Sturgiss looks like a 3D-printed Taylor Swift made in some secret Tesla research and development lab.
The 19-year-old Australian resident made a name for herself on Instagram for her supernatural resemblance to the biggest music name on the planet.
Sturgiss recently told Daily Mail everything about her resembling Swift is completely coincidental aside from her haircut, which she intentionally gets to match Swift's hair.
The resemblance helped Sturgiss' #NoItsLiv become a viral hit on Instagram.
This weird pseudo-celebrity Internet status even resulted in a meet-and-greet with Taylor at a recent concert!
This cute picture was taken after Sturgiss and Swift wrestled, and Swift's security guard had to figure out which one to shoot... At least, that's how I imagined the meeting going down.


Every time I think that's it for Halloween crafting this year something else comes up that we want to make! I suppose I shouldn't be that surprised that with a Batman obsessed toddler that a request for paper plate bats happened ('lets make bats mummy!' 'Err… yep I think I can work that one out!') These were so much fun to do, we did them sat next to each other, both working on the task and we were both really happy with how they turned out.
This is the first time in about a year that my son has let me photograph him for my blog, but he loved these so much he wanted his picture taken with them! That's not me telling him to cover his face either, he just genuinely wanted to show as much of his paper plate bats as possible, bless!
Paint both plates black (or, err, purple). When they are dry fold one plate lightly in half to give you a guideline on where to cut the wings. Cut them out using a curved W shape and then stick them to the back of the main body of the bat using tape.
Using the leftover pits of plate you can now cut out ears and teeth for your bat.
You could probably use some left over bits of the plate to make eyes too but we are massive fans of googly eyes round here so that's what we used!
Your super cool paper plate bats are now ready for Halloween or decorating Batman's Batcave!

Truckee tennis | Boys, girls to host regional semifinal matches
Courtesy Marc PadoTanner Smith competes in a recent match for the Wolverines.
The Truckee boys tennis team clinched the No. 1 seed from the High Desert League of the Northern Division 1-A and a first-round bye in the regional postseason tournament after finishing the regular season with a 7-2 record.
While the second and third seeds from the High Desert and Sierra leagues waged battle in the quarterfinal round Tuesday, the Wolverines will face their first postseason action in the semifinals Thursday at the Tahoe Donner Tennis Center.
Truckee will take on the winner between North Tahoe, which is the third-seeded High Desert team, and Incline, which is seeded second from the Sierra League. Results of that matchup were not available by deadline.
Facing three divisional challengers to end the regular season, the Truckee boys dominated play.
Taking on North Valley without several starters, the depth of the Truckee squad was apparent in a 15-3 win. The first round was a sweep, with all singles and doubles teams winning starting sets.
"We mixed up the doubles teams a bit, just to have them play with different partners," said Truckee coach Rick Deeter.
Aaron Deeter teamed up with Tobie Ziegler to win 6-0. Then Ziegler teamed up with Zack Yamauchi to win 6-1 in the second round. Zach Conradson won 6-0 with Colin Gerrard and then backed it up with another 6-0 victory with Teagan Pado. Several freshman players saw action, including Jack Feick, Colter Fellows and Tanner Smith, all winning their sets.
The Wolverines faced two opponents last week, North Tahoe and Hug, and came out with two more victories, beating the Lakers 18-0 and the Hawks 15-3.
The Lakers struggled with Truckee's starting nine, giving up all six initial sets. The traveling squad quickly rotated in Addison Dvoracek and Eli Yale into singles spots, both winning 6-0 and 6-1, respectively.
Conradson teamed up with Alex Omar and Teagan Pado teamed with Brandon Flora to win doubles, 6-0. Two Tylers, Paladino and Omar, won their second-round match 6-2. French foreign exchange student Raphael Antz jumped into a singles match to win 6-1, helping lead the Wolverines to the sweep.
Hug represented the final match of the regular season. Once again, the entire team was able to contribute, with a few players taking on unusual spots. For the first time this year, Teagan Pado and Brandon Flora played singles instead of doubles, winning their sets 6-3 and 6-2.
Hug was unable to field a complete team, forcing them to forfeit three sets in the match. Hug did manage a few victories in doubles matches, but singles dominance by Yale, Dvoracek, Tyler Paladino and Yamauchi helped lift Truckee to the win.
Truckee's only two losses of the regular season came against larger Division I teams, which for the first year will compete for their own separate tennis state championships.
If the Wolverines win in the semifinal round Thursday – matches begin at 3 p.m. – they'll advance to the regional finals, scheduled for Friday at 3 p.m. at the Reno Tennis Center.
"We hope to move on to the regional finals, given our past performance," said Truckee coach Ken Cutler.
Individual singles and doubles play will start next Friday, Oct. 12, at 9 a.m., hosted by Truckee at the Tahoe Donner Tennis Center.

Find your roots, your connection to creation.
Nestle into ways of being that allow you to live well while letting the rivers and lakes and clouds of dreams invite you to take that step into the unknown.
Go deep with your gratitude when the sun pierces your view as the fog lifts and the call of a crane reminds you to look up from the old worn path that everyone else decided to take.
See grace wherever your eyes land. Notice every opportunity to practice compassion toward all wild things.
Let go of expectation, and ride the torrents of change to a place of peace and healing.
Rest on the stump of an old evergreen and feel the passing of the times. Mourn what is gone and dying, and celebrate the beauty that can still be found in the lichen that grow at the graves of the clear cut forests and the tears that run down the ruined mountaintops. Remember that all is not lost.
Be whom you are called to be — mind, body and spirit — in full wildness and wholly grounded in the reality that illustrates your truth.
Send your howls to the wind and bear witness.
Claim the wild dare of living as one with the earth — with all things that are wild and free.

Notes Jacob Denner (b Nuremberg, 1681; d Nuremberg, 1735), the eldest son of the instrument maker Johann Christoph Denner (born Leipzig), continued his father's work, making recorders, flutes, oboes and clarinets. And he worked for the Medecis court in Florence in 1708 and received his Master's rights in 1716. He was employed at several courts as Stadtmusicus (city musician) and oboist (eg. at Bayreuth and Ansbach).
Doppelmayr (1730) describes Jacob Denner as not only a world-famous master of his own and other instruments but … specially remarkable for his oboe playing. See Kirnbauer & Thalheimer (1995). It seems that Jacob's younger brother, Johann David, took over their father's shop, while Jacob started his own.
'Denner' is an old German word for the pine tree; hence the depiction of a pine.

Moore v. Wilson
Moore v. Wilson.
272 S. W. 2d 316
Opinion delivered November 8, 1954.
Claude F. Cooper, for appellant.
D. Fred Taylor, Jr., and Ralph E. Wilson, for appellee. *■
George Rose Smith, J.
This dispute results from a traffic collision which occurred in Osceola last November. Louise Moore, the defendant, appeals from a $700 judgment representing the property damage sustained by the plaintiffs, Ralph and Mary Ann Wilson. The only issue here is whether Mrs. Wilson, who was driving the Wilson car, was contributorily negligent as a matter of law.
On the day in question Mrs. Wilson was driving along Hale Avenue, which is a through street protected by stop signs. As Mrs. Wilson neared the intersection with Grandview Street she saw the defendant's car approaching from the right. The latter vehicle slowed down, and Mrs. Wilson assumed that it would stop. The defendant did not stop, however; she drove into the intersection in front of the Wilson car. Mrs. Wilson applied her brakes and swerved to the left but was unable to avoid the collision. She testified that Mrs. Moore admitted at once that she had been at fault. Mrs. Moore denies having made this admission, hut she does concede that she diet not stop before entering Hale Avenue. Her version is that she slowed almost to a stop, saw nothing coming, and was crossing Hale Avenue when her car was struck. We think the evidence amply sufficient to support the verdict, for reasonable men might well conclude that Mrs. Wilson was not acting carelessly in assuming that the other driver would obey the stop sign.

Oil poisons native Amazonian communities in Peru
850-kilometre oil pipeline leaked due to "corrosion" and "lack of maintenance"
Parliamentary 2016 investigation was delayed for 18 months
The life of Nehemías Pando and his family changed after the oil spills in their indigenous communities affected hundreds of people in Peru's northern Amazonian jungle in 2014. One of his sons swallowed water contaminated with crude oil, while fishing in the area where the PetroPerú state oil pipeline flood occurred. His 17-year-old daughter also has digestive problems after the toxic inundation. None has received the specialised medical care they require.
"When the health brigades came to gave us the results of our analytical tests, my son came out with a blood level for lead of 11. He has anemia, he is sleepy, since October we've been waiting that the health center (from the town of Maypuco) refers us to Iquitos [hospital] again, but they would not answer me," says Pando. They are far from being the only ones suffering the consequences of the tragedy.
In this Peruvian wild and rural region oil wealth has become a nightmare for its inhabitants. The main pipeline that crosses four departments (Loreto, Amazonas, Cajamarca and Piura) is more than 850 kilometres long and was inaugurated in 1977. A report prepared by a parliamentary commission recorded 36 spills between 2008 and 2016, which affected some 1,410,000 m2 of communal land plots.
Manuel Pulgar-Vidal, the country's former minister of environment, said in 2016 that the spills were due to "lack of maintenance and infrastructure corrosion".
A parliamentary investigation finished in November 2017 found PetroPerú and various third-party suppliers responsible — among other charges — of guaranteeing the pipeline's health and safety as well as the cleanliness of the areas they contaminated. But the Peruvian Parliament's plenary session took 18 months to table the report and on Wednesday, 15th May, 2019 they ruled the whole case out, arguing the commission did not identify a "direct responsibility" despite the fact that the last chapter of the 360-page document mentions dozens of officers as responsible, by action or by omission.
"The spills, as well as the response of the Peruvian State and PetroPerú to the subsequent social, environmental and economic problems, constitute new evidence of the state of marginalisation and lack of protection Amazonian citizens are in", the multi-party report reads.
San Pedro's indigenous comuneros [community land owners] have been hit hard by the disaster: they have suffered several oil spills — most recently in February 2018 — just as PetroPerú announced the end of the cleaning works on river Marañón and the surrounding soil and vegetation.
A group of human rights organizations went to the spill area in early May and found that, to this day, there is oil in the canals near the community. When residents of San Pedro stir the waters with a stick, one metre deep, remains of oil emerge. In the 3-day visit, the words that are most repeated are "hydrocarbon" and "contaminated fish".
"Here, anemia is very common in children because there are no fish anymore. If one goes to the cochas (lagoons) to fish, it is unsafe to eat that fish; now it is too skinny. In the community minutes logbook you can see the company pledged to leave [everything] clean. They say they have finished, but the water still has hydrocarbons," says San Pedro's apu (chief) Humberto Iñapi.
"Before you could bring fish home for three or four days, and sell the excess for about 300 soles ($90). Now if we want our children and grandchildren to eat healthy we have to grow ducks, chickens, pigs, and that food costs. You do not have to grow fish," added the leader of over 170 people.
Nehemías Pando, and his tragedy, are among them.
The man said his son was finally referred to Iquitos after waiting for seven months. "If I had the money I would have taken him there before. I just want him to be able to study, to make his life easier," added the father of six.
In San Pedro, the Ministry of Housing has installed a water filtration plant that supplies the liquid by buckets. From the age of nine, girls carry those buckets to their homes. There is no electricity, drainage or sewers.
At the local school, pupils have painted drawings on the walls. One of them, by little Belinson, shows a boy fishing while sitting in a boat, and at the end of the rod there is a fish that is bigger than the boat. He says he likes to swim in the river Marañón, connected to canals that are still contaminated.
The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) granted precautionary measures in December 2017 to those affected by the spills in San Pedro and Cuninico — a nearby indigenous community — and asked the Peruvian government to provide them with appropriate medical care, "clean drinking water free of pollutants, and adequate nourishment within nutritional and cultural terms," among others.
In addition to that, the Superior Court of the region of Loreto confirmed in January 2018 a sentence that orders the Ministry of Health to design and develop a public health plan in Cuninico, and an epidemiological surveillance system that includes — among other factors — the monitoring of the water health indexes. "The ministry has not yet executed the ruling," says lawyer Juan Carlos Ruiz, who filed the lawsuit.
Cuninico is located some 6 hours from San Pedro upon river Marañón. It has more than 720 inhabitants and in 2014 it was flooded by a 2,560 crude oil barrel leak. Citizens depend on rainwater to cook and bathe, because the town's 14 public water fountains — placed by the Ministry of Housing on Cuninico's main street last year — only work for about 40 minutes a day.
"They hardly work for 30 really⁸," says Elva Vásquez, a resident of Cuninico. And, to make matters even worse, the hoses that carry the liquid are pierced with holes.

Motorized bicycles using an internal combustion engine under 100 cc are generally legally indistinguishable from a bicycle on public roads.
California law prohibits the riding of motorized bicycles and mopeds on sidewalks. You must ride your motorized bicycle on the road, with the rest of the traffic, unless there is a designated bicycle lane. … You cannot take a motorized bicycle on any of the state's freeways or highway systems.
You can ride an electric bike if you're 14 or over, as long as it meets certain requirements. These electric bikes are known as 'electrically assisted pedal cycles' ( EAPCs ). You do not need a licence to ride one and it does not need to be registered, taxed or insured.
Under Irish law, the Garda Press Office says the addition of an engine makes the bike a "mechanically propelled vehicle". … It is an offence to drive/operate a mechanically propelled vehicle on a public road without that vehicle being registered and the appropriate road tax paid and tax disc displayed.

The Government has approved a new Road Traffic Bill which legislates, for the first time, the use of e-scooters and e-bikes on Irish roads. It also includes legislation for the use of scramblers and a variable speed limit system on the M50 in Dublin.
As stated to be legal you would need to get type approval first (Motorcycle Single Vehicle Approval Scheme) and an MOT test certificate. Next insure it, then register it, then get vehicle excise duty. If you don't have a full licence, you will need 'L' plates.
Cycling is a simple pleasure – a bike can be acquired for next to nothing and you don't require a licence or any specialist equipment – but whatever type of cyclist you are, it pays to know your rights and responsibilities in law.
It is perfectly legal to ride an electric motorcycle with a 1000W output (providing of course you have a motorcycle licence, are insured, etc, as for any motorcycle). Electric motorcycles and mopeds are treated in exactly the same way as other ones except in that they are zero-rated for tax.
A battery-powered electronic motor is attached to your back wheel, allowing it to power your bicycle during rides. … When you want to get a workout in, you can pedal like any other bike. For uphill aid or a long-distance break, you can turn on the pedal assist to receive motorized help with every pedal.
IMPORTANT: You asked: Is it cheaper to buy or build a bicycle?
'15mph is too slow in traffic' – retailer says faster e-bikes will improve safety. … Current laws restrict e-bikes to 15.5mph – or 25km/h – which means when you hit that speed, the engine will cut out. The power put out by an 'electronically assisted pedal cycle' also must not exceed 250 watts.
All petrol-powered bicycles are illegal on NSW roads and road-related areas such as footpaths, shared paths, cycle ways and cycle paths. Have a petrol-powered engine attached before or after purchase. … Are powered by other types of internal combustion engines.
Electric bikes (EAPC's) are an affordable and environmentally friendly alternative means of transport for drivers who are disqualified from driving. Electric bikes that meet certain specific technical requirements do not need to be registered, insured, taxed and no licence is required to ride them.
United Kingdom. In United Kingdom, driving a motorized bicycle with a gasoline motor under 100 cc which allows the pedals to rotate is allowed for persons over 14 years old and does not require a license as of July 2021.
If the cyclist is pedalling at the same time, then the throttle can still assist up to 15.5mph (25kph). If you bought an ebike with a full-speed throttle before January 1, 2016, don't panic: those sold prior to this date are still considered as EAPC and so are still legal.
IMPORTANT: Best answer: What are the positive effects of cycling?
E-scooters must be roadworthy, registered, taxed and insured, gardaí say. … The spokesperson said the e-scooters must be roadworthy, must be registered, taxed and insured. The driver must hold the appropriate driving licence and must also wear a helmet, added the Garda spokesperson.
Tax, insurance and driving licences will not be required. As the intention is to legalise the use of PPTs in a public place, they will now be regulated as to how and where they may be used. Under current Irish law, ebikes are not classed as 'mechanically propelled vehicles' (MPVs) or as pedal bicycles.


The Tupler Technique® is the only research-based exercise program proven to effectively treat a diastasis recti. The word diastasis means separation. The recti muscles are the outermost abdominal muscles. So it is a separation of the outermost abdominal muscles. When the muscles separate the connective tissue joining these muscle stretches sideways.
So why should you care if your muscles are separated? Because separated muscles are weak muscles. Separated muscles cannot do their job of supporting your back and organs. To achieve a strong core, your muscles must be close together.
When the muscles separate, the connective tissue (linea alba) joining these muscles stretches sideways. This sideways stretching of the connective tissue causes it to become thinner and weaker. So what happens is this weak saran wrap-like connective tissue is now ineffectively supporting your belly button, back and organs, instead of the muscles if they were close together.
The Tupler Technique® is the only research-based exercise program proven to effectively treat a diastasis recti.
The goal of the Tupler Technique® is to heal the weakened connective tissue that joins your outermost abdominal muscles. As the connective tissue becomes stronger and shallower the muscles gradually come together.

Life underwater: Award-winning photos illuminate world beneath the sea's surface
By Michelle Robertson, SFGATE
Underwater Photographer of the Year 2019, Richard Barnden

It takes a sharp lens, a good eye and a heap of gumption to win the title of Underwater Photographer of the Year.
The competition, which began in the United Kingdom over five decades ago, bestowed this year's honor upon British photographer Richard Barnden for his photograph titled "The Gauntlet."
Taken along the reefs of French Polynesia and chosen from over 5,000 submissions, "The Gauntlet" shows an unlucky parrotfish surrounded by sharks. Cast in cool blue and white tones, the fish swirl across the frame in the shape of a breaking wave, a composition complicated by the bared teeth of a shark and the slight pink glimmer of the fleeing monkfish.

"Photography is about preserving moments and what an unforgettable instant this is," said Alexander Mustard, the chair of the competition's judging panel, in a statement. Mustard commended Barnden for capturing the "full drama of the hunt ... revealing the ocean's wilder side."

Considered the world's most prestigious underwater photography competition, UPY attracts competitors from more than 60 countries annually. Their photos shock and delight, while also educating the public about the triumphs and travails faced by the natural world below the ocean's surface.
The competition also honors a Marine Conservation Photographer of the Year. The title went to Spanish photographer Eduardo Acevedo this year, for a photo of a loggerhead turtle tangled in a plastic fishing net.
Loggerheads must combat manifold obstacles when crossing the Atlantic Ocean from the Caribbean to the Canary Islands, Acevedo explained in a press release, including "plastics, ropes and fishing nets."
The turtle in the photo "was one of the lucky ones." Acevedo's dive team was able to free the trapped animal and pull the net from the water.
You can see some of the winning photographs, including Barnden's and Acevedo's, in the above gallery.

Q: Water-damage computer My child poured some water in my computer. The computer did not blow up or anything like that, it just lost connection with monitor. I shuted it down. I opened it, cleaned it without taking apart and dried some water I saw around.
I managed to start the computer for once but soon the windows screen broke into little squares like the graphics is breaking down or something. then it fell into blue screen and shut down.
Now it has problem to start. Whenever I start it, it runs for few seconds and then restarts itself, runs for few seconds and restarts itself and it restarts like this forever.
When its starting, all the fans are running and the motherboard lights are up.
I took the components apart. I took the graphics out first to try if it would start without it, but it did the same thing. Now I guess some components are dead or faulty, but I dont know which. My best guess is motherboard, RAM and/or graphics, because I found some water on them or around them. But could it also be CPU? though it did not blow up and no water got close to CPU?
How can I determine which components are dead, which to replace?

Java 11 comes with a new standard HttpClient with support for Http 1 and 2. And it supports full async handling, auth, and many more things.
It seems pretty powerful. I don't know about its performance, but it seems definitely full featured and convenient.
Anyone tried it from Clojure? Does Ring support it already?
