I am joined by Nicole Cheri Oden to help us with the legal part of our businesses but she shared more than that and gave us her recommendations about many things. 🎙 What I cover this episode; [1:50] - How Nicole started her entrepreneurship [5:50] - Why legal actions are important [7:10] - How should we proceed with the legal side of the business [10:35] - Be cautious with copy paste [12:05] - Where should you start with your legal actions [14:05] - If you plan on using FB Ads listen up [18:30] - Nicole's mission [18:50] - What about social media? [26:00] - Her advice to us as entrepreneurs [27:20] - Last words from me for this episode ============ Nicole is an attorney licensed in the State of California for 7 years. After 4 1/2 years at a big firm, she became a mama. She knew that if she wanted to be present while her daughter grew up, she had to make some big changes. So she started her own firm and spent the next 2 years learning how to actively create a work-life balance while teaching other women to do the same thing. After receiving countless questions from other online entrepreneurs who were just so overwhelmed with legal, she pivoted in her coaching to offer legal templates to take the expense and overwhelm out of the process for them. Because while you don't have to devote all your time, energy, and money to address legal issues, as an entrepreneur you do have to become familiar with the law.

Our white vinyl sleeves are sold two sleeves to a pack and are designed to keep your arms dry, while protecting your shirtsleeves from becoming stained. Each sleeve has an elastic band on each end to ensure that they fit securely and prevent contaminants from reaching your arms. Most often these vinyl sleeves are used during light duty industrial applications in grooming shops, clinics, food processing, laboratory environments, car washes, and when working with wet tools.
Vinyl sleeves offer an inexpensive, quick, and simple way to save time and money. Although simplistic in design, these vinyl protective sleeves will save you a lot of time spent trying various mixtures in the laundry room attempting to remove stains from your shirtsleeves. They also save you money by eliminating the need to throw out the shirts that you weren't able to get clean. Simply slide one of these vinyl sleeves over each of your shirtsleeves and get to work. When you're done working, our vinyl sleeves are durable enough to clean and store for later use, although cheap enough to toss out as well.
White protective vinyl sleeves aren't just for contractors anymore. The popularity of our vinyl sleeves is growing with homeowners, hobbyists, and crafters. They have found that vinyl sleeves help keep their clothes clean as well. For the homeowner, cleaning and repairs are very common. When cleaning rooms that have been neglected, reaching behind electronics, and making minor repairs, homeowners tend to get their shirtsleeves covered in dirt, grease, and other stain causing substances. Wearing protective vinyl sleeves while performing theses tasks is an easy way for homeowners to save both time and money.
During meal preparations, at home or in a restaurant, anyone that cooks knows how messy cooking can be. These protective sleeves will not only keep their shirtsleeves clean, they will help prevent the spread of contaminates such as salmonella, e-coli, and other germs that may cause themselves and others to become ill. By wearing vinyl sleeves for tasks like removing the innards from a turkey and afterward disposing of the sleeves, you can keep your cooking environment much more sanitary.
Hobbyists find that by wearing protective vinyl sleeves while enjoying their crafting projects, they can spend more time crafting and less time cleaning. Substances like glue, paint, and glitter, tend to be attracted to their clothing and vinyl sleeves provide an ideal barrier to stop them from ruining their shirts. Another benefit offered by these inexpensive sleeves is that they are small in size and can easily be packed away with the rest of their crafting supplies.

Becoming a Man
Trajectories of Young Gay Men in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
Wendell Ferrari and Marcos Nascimento
This paper seeks to analyze the affective-sexual trajectories of young gay men in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Based on qualitative research with 15 young, urban, low-income gay men aged between 19 and 24, carried out in 2019, this article shows the learning of masculinity and its consequences on the men's sex lives. As a result, we argue that these young men have been brought up for the exaltation of heterosexuality and being a real man since boyhood; that the pedagogies of masculinity produce hierarchies among gay masculinities; and that the connection with other social markers, such as race, social class, religion, sexual preferences related to being active or passive, and gender expressions, upholds the notion of hegemonic masculinity. Regarding those who escape this pattern, these young men reveal several vulnerabilities and multiple violent acts during their trajectories.

Being Screens, Making Screens
Functions and Technical Objects
Mauro Carbone, Graziano Lingua, and Sarah De Sanctis
The present relations between screens and the human body invoke a genealogy that should help us to understand their status. However, we suggest that this historical-genealogical work shall be matched with a more comprehensive anthropology of screen experiences. By mobilizing the notion of "arche-screen," we identify the transhistorical principle underlying such experiences with the showing/concealing and the exposing/protecting function pairs—the latter exceeding the visual dimension and involving our bodily relations with the environment. These function pairs, which are rooted in our body and make it into our proto-screen, can be enhanced via their externalization as appropriate technical objects. By highlighting the prostheticization of skin in some prehistoric artistic techniques and the role of the veil from the Old Testament to Leon Battista Alberti's treatise On Painting, we stress that the interweaving of the above-mentioned screen functions is a constant feature of human experiences and that its thematic variations are traceable in more recent screen forms.

Bodies with Objects in Space through Screens
Casual Virtuality and the Self-Mediation of Laura Paolini's Constraining Aesthetics
Jakub Zdebik
Constraining aesthetics are central to Laura Paolini's artistic corpus, involving the relationship of her body to everyday objects in confined spaces during the time of the pandemic. Paolini creates a self-reflexive simulacrum of artistic experience of body, objects, and space through the interface of digital screens. This article seeks to elaborate how the elements of body, objects, and space in performance, video, and installation art are part of a screenic embodiment when read through the concepts of habit (Walter Benjamin), proprioception (Brian Massumi), allegory (Craig Owens), mediation (Fredric Jameson), and documentation (Amelia Jones).

Screening Transgression
Andrew J. Ball
The final issue of Screen Bodies Volume 6 offers readers an ideal combination of the diverse kinds of work we feature, from a macroscopic theory that proposes a new discipline, to a set of articles that rigorously examine a small number of artworks with respect to a shared topic, to a piece of curatorial criticism on a recent media arts exhibition. The articles collected here offer a fitting cross section of the topics and media we cover, discussing such varied subjects as prehistoric art, Pink Film, artificial intelligence, and video art.

I took over as editor of BHS in January 2019. In that time, we have put out three regular issues, which have contained a large variety of work focusing on gender issues concerning boys and young men, and three special issues on more specific topics, such as boyhood and belonging and the work of one of the leading masculinities scholars of the past 30 years, Raewyn Connell. These two recent special issues (13.2 and 14.1) contained work from established and emerging scholars focusing on the twentieth anniversary of Connell's seminal text, The Men and the Boys. Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, they have been very well received, and articles in this collection are among the most read in the journal's history.

Embodied Liberation
The Female Reception of Oshima Nagisa's International Co-Productions
Yuta Kaminishi
Oshima Nagisa's international co-productions, which include the pornographic film In the Realm of the Senses and the war drama with homoerotic themes Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, were noted as the emergence of his female audience. How did this reported demographic change of the audience from male-centered to female-oriented relate to sexualized bodies on screen? In their roundtable discussion about sexual liberation, feminists found emancipatory power from patriarchal society in the face of the actor who played Abe Sada. Girls praised queerness that disrupted heteronormativity in David Bowie's performance in their film reviews. Focusing on the reception of the films within feminists' discourse and girls' culture, this article argues that the female audience created political significance of the films by interpreting the bodies as embodied liberation.
"Isn't That a Girl Problem?"
Boys, Bodies, and the Discourse of Denial
Michael Kehler and Chris Borduas
Revisions to Health and Physical Education (HPE) curriculums across Canada have prompted a conservative response denouncing the explicit and robust language used to address sexualities and young bodies. In this paper, we question the (in)visibility of male bodies and a prevailing discourse of denial, while situating the discussion alongside an evolving Canadian curriculum. Drawing on a national study, we examine narratives of adolescent boys to demonstrate how they make sense of locker-room interactions and bodily negotiations among their male peers. We introduce a discourse of denial to illustrate the ways in which adolescent male bodies and body image issues specifically have been misunderstood as a "girl problem" in schools. We argue that a limiting narrative of male bodies ignores the marginalization of boys facing shaming and homophobia in schools. We conclude by calling for a (re)consideration of male bodily practices while proposing changes that would more fully acknowledge adolescent male bodies in schools.
Making Masculinities on the Street
Exploring Street Boys' Everyday Relationships on the Streets of Bukavu, Democratic Republic of Congo
Thandie Hlabana, Lorraine van Blerk, and Janine Hunter
Raewyn Connell's seminal texts, including Masculinities (1995), The Men and the Boys (2000), and others have contributed to a nuanced understanding of masculinities as both contextual and relational, including gendered power relations, division of labor, emotional relations, and symbolism. This article seeks to extend Connell's approach by using this nuanced lens of masculinities to examine the lives of boys living on the streets of a city in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The article highlights the experiences of everyday relationships over three years for 19 street boys, aged 13–18, and the role of city spaces in their lives. It suggests that the spatiality and temporality of street boys' relationships shape their masculine practices and identities, as played out in their everyday interactions with each other and with girls, women, and men as part of their daily survival. A mosaic of street masculinities emerges, that is both fluid and complex, shedding light on previously unexplored masculinities in an understudied group and part of the world.
A Phenomenological Study of Arranged Friendships between Young Boys and Men
Man Interest and Masculine Embodiment
Kathrine Vitus and Nathalie Perregaard
We explore the experience and meaning of being in an arranged male adult friendship for 7–10-year-old boys from single-mother families; we look at this from the perspective of the boys, their mothers, and their adult friends. In analyzing empirical material from a two-year fieldwork study, we draw on methodology and concepts from phenomenology. We propose that boy–adult friendships provide boys with a realization of masculine embodiment and reflect hierarchical masculinity, but that the presence of the male body is essential. We discuss how the analysis contributes to the literature on adult–child friendships, particularly between boys and male nonrelative adults, and to that on masculinity and boyhood studies, exploring boys' embodiment from a phenomenological perspective.

I came across the most amazing video last night. Last year, time lapse photographer Terje Sorgjerd captured the milky way from Spain's highest mountain (El Teide) and turned it into an incredible piece of art. You can watch the video below. It's definitely worth 3 minutes of your life. I promise.
As I watched the video in awe it made me feel really small in comparison to this vast expanse of nature – Terje even managed to capture the milky way through a sandstorm at one point (30 seconds in).
And I pondered how ridiculous many of the problems I face on a day-to-day basis really are when put into context. It's so easy to get sucked into a problem and let it completely take over your hour, day or even week. When in reality when you pull yourself out of the problem and look at it from a 'big picture' perspective, it's often not that important.
It's funny how problems we have yesterday are so quickly forgotten about tomorrow.
The other thing this video struck home for me was 'don't sweat the small stuff'. In the grand scheme of your life, is it worth getting angry, sad or anxious over things that don't really matter?
Consciously we know that all of this makes sense – but when we're 'in a problem' we often can't see past the problem to pull ourselves out of it. And this is where over-analysis usually kicks in.
If only we could remember to 'think big' next time we were obsessing over something insignificant and unimportant…it might just dissolve our problems.
Context – Put the problem into the context of your whole life!
Consider genuine 'big problems' around the world such as war-torn countries, famines and homelessness – how does your problem stack up against these issues?
Perception. Remember – at the end of the day it's your perception of the problem that will result in over-analysis – choose to view the problem differently and watch it dissolve!
Know someone who could do with thinking big this week? Share this article with them!

AIPAC Outspends Other Religion-Related Advocacy Groups in Washington, D.C.
By Russell Heimlich
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee spent $87,899,089 on advocacy in 2008 — significantly more than any of 212 other religion-related advocacy organizations examined by the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life. AIPAC's expenditures amounted to more than three times that of the next highest-spending organization, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. The Conference of Bishops spent $26,662,111 in 2009, according to the most recently-available data on the subject.
Forty groups (about one-third of the 131 groups for which data was available) accounted for more than $330 million of the $390 million in total reported advocacy expenditures. The top 10 groups each had expenditures of $9 million or more, and collectively accounted for more than $200 million of advocacy spending.
Among the 40 biggest annual spenders from 2008 to 2009, 14 are interreligious, six are Jewish, six are Evangelical Protestant, five are Catholic, four are mainline Protestant, two are Muslim, one is Quaker, one is Buddhist and one is Unitarian Universalist. Of the top 40 advocacy spenders, 23 represent individuals, while seven represent religious bodies.
Advocacy groups report their spending in many different ways. While some groups break out their advocacy and lobbying expenditures, many do not. In addition, many groups report expenses only for direct lobbying as strictly defined by the Internal Revenue Service. Direct lobbying is defined as attempts to influence, or urge the public to influence, specific legislation, whether the legislation is before a legislative body, such as the U.S. Congress or any state legislature, or before the public as a referendum, ballot initiative, constitutional amendment or similar measure. As noted earlier, this study defines advocacy more broadly, encompassing a wide range of efforts to shape and influence public policy on religion-related issues. (See "What Is Religious Advocacy?") As a corollary, the study attempts to use the expenditure figures that best reflect the broader definition of religious advocacy used in the report rather than the narrower definition used by the IRS.

BC's Fantasy Football Nightmares
Game-Week 21: Montezuma Salah's Revenge?
Friday, January 29, 2021 Filed in: Fantasy Football Nightmares
A FANTASY FOOTBALL NIGHTMARE — But You Never Wake Up
An advice column for the bottom seven million Fantasy Premier League managers
For the last four years, BC FC, my Fantasy Premier League team, has followed the same strategy every season: in game-week one, establish yourself firmly in the cellar position in every league and mini-league and maintain that slot resolutely until GW38.
The other managers in my family & friends and neighbourhood mini-leagues have appreciated BC FC the way this year's Premiership teams are valuing Sheffield United: as long as I was in the competition — no, as long as I was around — they didn't ever have to worry about coming last.
This 2020/21 season began as usual. Until game-week five, BC FC was rock solid at the bottom of both its mini-leagues, and settled in the bottom half of the bottom million in the world; in the bottom hundred thousand, probably. (I haven't checked and know it wouldn't be worth my while to check, one way or the other.)
This week could be the seventh or eighth or even ninth or tenth week BC FC is sitting at the top of our family & friends mini-league. (I haven't checked; see parentheses above.) BC FC is in the top 40K in the Chelsea league (38,434), at #320 in the Barbados national FPL and at #705,199 in the world, up almost 200K places from last week's 900,106.
After declaring last week that I knew better than to pay four points to transfer out Mo Salah and bring in Raheem Sterling, in the last minutes before the game-week deadline expired, I did, in fact, and entirely on impulse, pay the four points and swap Sterling for Salah.
If I'd had the cojones to captain Sterling, it would have turned out even better but there are now 34 points between BC FC and the number two team. In the far more knowledgeable neighbourhood mini-league, BC FC has narrowed the gap between itself and the number one team to under 100 points for the first time since about game-week two. (I haven't checked; see two sets of parentheses above.)
You can see from my pedigree as confessed here that I'm in genuinely unwatered charts.
And I'm feeling the unsettling pressure of all those who don't deserve to be at the top on merit but nevertheless desperately want to remain there; making this the first time I've felt any sympathy for Boris Johnson.
The first temptation, then, is to have a drink, take the edge off, and make a relaxed, inspired team choice; but I know from bitter experience, so to speak — four pints of Abbot — that this approach is a shortcut back to cellar position.
The second, stronger temptation is to go with my hunch again this week, since it wasn't disastrous last week, and was even positively good; but you can only push your luck so far; and, with BC FC at the top, my luck is already near its limit of elasticity.
So my one free transfer this week goes to replacing the injured Harry Kane. After much agonising between them, I opted for Dominic Calvert-Lewin ahead of Ollie Watkins.
And, somehow resisted the temptation to pay four points, transfer out Rhian Brewster, and get them both.
And, hopefully, I will continue resisting that temptation past this week's deadline.
Even though giving in to it last week was profitable.
And Oscar Wilde said, "I can resist anything but temptation."
And Ollie Watkins is probably more likely to score v Southhampton than Mikhail Antonio v Liverpool.
There's a mental link in here somewhere to the top FPL managers & me on the one hand and GameStop & AMC shares on the US stock market on the other.
I just know I'll short myself if I can't keep myself distracted until two hours before the first kick-off on Saturday.
Already, in the back of my mind, I can hear the theme from Robin Hood.
My next advice column/eulogy/apology for BC FC will appear around the GW22 deadline

There are three educational magic shows that Stephen offers for libraries, infant and primary schools.
Each show is structured to teach important elements regarding the show theme and is tied to the national curriculum.
They each last one hour and have ten key points which we will explore through a demonstration of comedy magic, circus skills and puppets.
They are suitable for all ages and can be performed to one class or the entire school.
1. Reading is Magic is a show featuring a variety of effects based upon popular children's books. The children learn why reading is useful, ways to improve and about recycling books.
There are ten key learning points, all themed to a different children's picture book, non-fiction or novel, with a magic trick that accompanies the message.
This is my most popular educational show and includes several ventriloquist puppet routines, the opportunity for around five children to help on stage within an effect, and often ends on a big dance number featuring the entire audience!
2. Recycling is Fun demonstrates what can be recycled and how it helps the planet. The effects demonstrate its various forms and teach how we can all make a difference for our future.
There are ten key points we explore, each of which is accompanied by a magic trick or puppet routine. There will be numerous opportunities for children to help on stage within an effect and the entire show has lots of audience interactivity.
3. Math's & Science Trickery features numerous magical effects using equations and physics to accomplish the feat. This show is designed to show these topics in a fun and engaging way to help children's motivation in learning these subjects.
The show features live speed demonstrations of completing a Magic Square and solving a Sudoku puzzle in under a minute, to demonstrate mathematics.
I will solve a Rubik Cube in seconds, demonstrating algorithms and pattern recognition.
Water will be spun upside down to represent centripetal force and how artificial gravity works. Items will be balanced on edge points, to explain centre of gravity / balance techniques.
Each feat performed in the show uses a principle of math or science to help educate while be entertaining. Several effects will also be taught to the audience to perform themselves.
Each one-hour show is £165, and two shows back-to-back is £225.

A nation that gave us KD Lang, Keanu Reeves, Pammy Anderson & Will from Will & Grace can't be bad, so any bar dedicated to the USA's cooler northern neighbour (climatically & possibly culturally, depending on your viewpoint) has got to be worth checking out. The interior is how you might imagine a Mountie's den, its butch pine-clad walls hung with shirts from team sports that will mean nothing to the average Brit. Watch them on the big screen as Canadian chaps padded out like Michelin men do unfathomable things on ice skates. Still, the natives are friendly, & beers such as Labatt, Sleeman's (Silver or Honey Brown) & Moosehead make a pleasant change from the norm. Food includes burgers, meat loaf & Québecois favourite poutine (basically, chips covered in a cheesy curd sauce).

GoPro Is Developing Its Own Drones, VR Camera Rigs
By Bryant Frazer / May 28, 2015
As Competition Heats Up, Action-Cam Company Looks for More Leadership Positions
GoPro—the company that dominated the market for tiny action cams by figuring out how to make them nearly ubiquitous—is getting ready to sell its own drones.
The news, which was confirmed yesterday by GoPro CEO Nick Woodman at Re/Code's Code Conference 2015, comes as no surprise, and not just because The Wall Street Journal first reported on GoPro's planned sub-$1000 mini-copters last year. A GoPro drone is a foregone conclusion because the company has perfected the science and design of the disposable 4K camera. Now, with action-cam competitors (including Sony Action Cam and the inexpensive Xiaomi Yi) coming out of the woodwork, there's nowhere else for GoPro to go but up.
If anything, GoPro has been a little slow to pull the trigger. First it'll have to catch up with China's DJI, which just launched the Phantom 3, which packs its own camera in both HD ($1259) and 4K ($999) versions. GoPro's imaging technology may well be superior, but will its first-generation drone technology compare favorably with what DJI is offering?
It may not matter. DJI is well-known among digital filmmakers, but GoPro has overwhelming brand recognition among consumers. If GoPro can market an inexpensive but fully featured and easy-to-use quadcopter, the built-in brand recognition should help it fly a long, long way.
The GoPro drone is scheduled for the first half of 2016, but Woodman wouldn't comment on pricing.
A GoPro-branded drone will be aimed at the mass audience, but another new initiative—a VR camera rig—is geared more toward pros. Woodman announced yesterday that GoPro is developing a spherical six-camera array for VR acquisition. That wasn't a huge surprise, either, given that GoPro purchased French VR specialist Kolor, which makes multi-camera GoPro VR rigs, last month. But lots of pro users have built multi-camera rigs. The real challenge will be software and workflow. If GoPro makes VR image acquisition and stitching truly simple, the company that generated the big boom in POV camera gear will take a leadership position in virtual reality, too.
The GoPro VR rig is due later this year.
Watch the video below using Google's Chrome browser or the Kolor app to get an idea of what a GoPro-originated VR experience feels like.

Think of the Fiat 500 and you naturally picture a small, cute Italian city car. But Fiat has expanded the 500 range over the last couple of years to now cover a total of five different models. This 500L is, as you may have guessed, a larger 500, and although it might bear some family resemblance, any links to trendy city cars ends there.
On the outside, the 500L is a big enough car with chunky styling that is aimed squarely at younger parents. Its funky looks will appeal as will the variety of colours available. It comes in just five-door hatchback form and thanks to a high roofline it delivers bucket-loads of space inside, while the large doors make it easier when getting the younger rear passengers strapped into their seats – something parents will appreciate. The rear seats feature two ISOFIX points and alternatively (at a push) can fit in three adults too.
The kids (and Steven Cooper, adults) will also get a kick out of the airplane-style tables that fold out from the back of the front seats, great for eating on the go or balancing an iPad on. Other features like the full-length glass roof make the cabin that bit brighter and might act as a further distraction for the kids. Fiat has built in plenty of useful features with the 500L such as well-sized door pockets, a huge boot-lid which has two levels and conveniently also has a very low loading level.
As for driving it, the 500L's 1.3-litre diesel won't set the world alight with its 85hp, but the 200Nm should be enough for it to cope with day to day family life. Fiat claim that on a combined cycle it will return 4.2l/100km, which when driven frugally seems reasonably accurate. The five-speed manual gearbox isn't the most refined in the world but, realistically, precise driving enjoyment probably isn't the reason you'll be considering a 500L in the first place.
Fiat do offer two other variants of the 500L – the 500L MPW which is a longer, seven-seat version, and the 500L Trekking which takes on more of a crossover stance, but for the majority of buyers the standard 500L will tick most of the boxes. Its styling might not be as cool as say the MINI Countryman, but it is way more spacious inside and ultimately in a car like this, that's the kind of thing that matters more.

Q: Is there is an event detecting inserting a value to an input directly from code? For example if I have :
<input type="text" id="search" >

And I use Javascript/Jquery to set its value:
$('#search').val('someThing');

Is there is an event to detect this action like keyup,click,input, ..?

A: As you are inserting the value from code you can just call your method() on the line after the value is inserted from Javascript.
If I have misunderstood the question please elaborate and i'll help further :)

A: You can add event listener of input to detect when the value is changed.

const input = document.querySelector('#search');

input.addEventListener('input', (e) => console.log(e.target.value));
<input type="text" id="search">

This is a great little project. One, it's super easy and 2, it has a lot of character and depth to it.
It's a killer project for beginning woodworkers. It introduces an element of art to your builds. So let's take you through the steps. You may want to watch the short video above to get a feel for this.
Take a 2x4 scrap and cut it evenly in half, using your jig saw.
Now you have two equal 2x4s...I hope, but I'm not too confidant you did it right,,,we'll see.
By the way, you can cut them on an angle if you want the top to be a little crazy looking.
Ok, next, take the two 2x4s and add some glue to one side of each piece.
Spread that glue around and sandwich the two together.
ok, use the speed square to find the center for the 'block' up top.
Mark your cross hairs and drill down in there.
Take your grinder and cup wheel. Go to town on it.
This is where you get creative. Mangle the wood.
Start off slow and work up to the level of rustic you want. Do this for all sides. Be very careful, a grinder can mess your mojo up real bad.
Ok, get the dowel you want to use for the handle.
I hope you have a Fostner bit that is the same size as that dowel. You'll need it. More on that in a bit..but I think you got this, I think...but I could be wrong.
Take your grinder and shape the one edge to look like a stake.
Drive that stake through and you're done with this step. boy you're good!
Ok, what are you waiting for dude..or dudette?
Take your torch, burn up all that hard work!
Yes, I know, it seems counter productive but It's a technique, t'll be fine!
Torching the piece will give it an awesome look, try it out but be careful, fire is hot and can burn. Just google it. Let's move on.
So, use some spray lacquer, or any clear finish you like.
Let it dry and you have yourself a primitive looking candle holder.
People will think you're a genius...but we know the truth.
Thank you for checking out my instructables. I hope you enjoyed it.
Maybe come over and check out my channel. Let me know if you make one!
Nice. Love the fire weathering technique.
Make it pointy and stab it through. LOL. Great project, man. Love the simplicity of it all. Definitely a great starter project.

Energy giant Shell has brushed off persistent talk about technical problems dogging the start-up of the huge Prelude floating LNG project off Australia's far north-west coast but has signalled the first LNG cargo from the closely watched venture may still be several weeks away.
A working meeting between Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee, and Maarten Wetselaar, Member of the Executive Committee of Royal Dutch Shell, was recently held in St. Petersburg.
Shell and Gazprom representatives have held a working meeting in St Petersburg to discuss the state and prospects of their strategic cooperation in the gas sector.
Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee, led the Gazprom delegation; and Maarten Wetselaar, Member of the Executive Committee of Royal Dutch Shell, and his associates represented Shell.
LONDON (Reuters) – More than $200 billion of investment in liquefied natural gas is needed to meet a boom in demand by 2030, Royal Dutch Shell, the world's top LNG trader, said on Monday.
Royal Dutch Shell's plans to take on the Big Six energy suppliers include buying gas-fired power plants and building wind and solar farms in Britain.
Royal Dutch Shell has sewn doubt in the market about an early 2018 start-up of the oil major's innovative Prelude floating LNG project off the coast of north-west Australia, with chief executive Ben van Beurden signalling that the project will only start contributing noticeably to cash flow in 2019.
The meeting addressed relevant aspects of strategic cooperation.
The meeting also focused on the Nord Stream 2 project.
The world's second-biggest liquefied natural gas exporting nation will probably curb shipments next year to avoid a domestic shortfall of the fuel, according to the Australian head of Royal Dutch Shell Plc.
Europe's biggest energy company is investing in projects to boost global gas demand and aims to continue feeding the market it's nurturing with new liquefied natural gas export plants.
For months, banks including Citigroup Inc. have talked about a massive oversupply in the global market for liquefied natural gas. The head of natural gas at Royal Dutch Shell Plc, one of the world's biggest producers of the fuel, would beg to differ.
Shell Australia chairman Andrew Smith is set to call on LNG industry leaders to drop their egos and get serious about collaboration to reduce costs, deliver better returns and improve competitiveness.
"We must put collaboration ahead of our industry's natural desire to immortalise our own activities in concrete and steel," Mr Smith will tell the LNG18 conference in Perth on Friday.
Royal Dutch Shell remains unequivocally bullish on prospects for liquefied natural gas despite the current market glut, pointing to several options for new supply projects after its planned $US70 billion ($97 billion) takeover of BG Group and plenty of new markets opening up around the world.
Royal Dutch Shell Plc said its record takeover of BG Group Plc will still deliver value to investors even in a prolonged oil-industry downturn and reshaped its business in preparation for the acquisition.
Royal Dutch Shell plc ("Shell", NYSE: RDS.A, NYSE: RDS.B)) today announces the appointment of Maarten Wetselaar Integrated Gas Director with effect from January 1st, 2016.

L'Hauture est un quartier du centre-ville d'Arles.

Description
Le quartier d'Arles appelé Hauture (ou Auture) est situé sur la plus haute proéminence de la ville surplombant la plaine deltaïque environnante. Au sud-est du centre historique, il est limité au nord par les quartiers Portagnel/Cavalerie, à l'ouest par la Cité, à l'est par le Mouleyres et au sud par le boulevard des Lices.

Il s'agit du plus vieux quartier d'Arles. Aujourd'hui l'Hauture, comme l'ensemble du centre-ville figure dans le périmètre du secteur sauvegardé. La richesse de son passé, son agrément et la tranquillité de ses petites rues en font un quartier très prisé des touristes.

Histoire

Le quartier de l'Hauture est occupé dès le  par des indigènes qui commercent avec la colonie grecque de Marseille. Il s'organise au  en une proto-cité salyenne.

L'urbanisation du quartier commence avec la fondation de la colonie romaine, en  Dès cette époque sont construits le théâtre et une première enceinte encore visible surtout dans son tracé Est où se trouvent les restes de la porte d'Auguste, entrée monumentale dans la ville de la voie Aurélienne reliant Arles à l'Italie. Aux siècles suivants, le quartier va être remanié, notamment à l'époque flavienne avec la construction de l'amphithéâtre et le remodelage des fortifications. Au début du , la première cathédrale paléochrétienne de la cité y est érigée à son extrémité sud-est.

Sous l'Antiquité tardive et le haut Moyen Âge, le quartier  est délaissé au profit de celui de la Cité qui accueille la nouvelle cathédrale Saint-Étienne. De son côté, l'amphithéâtre fortifié va désormais servir d'ultime forteresse aux arlésiens.
À partir du , le quartier se réorganise autour de l'église Notre-Dame-de-la-Major. Avec ses nombreux jardins, c'est le quartier des paysans et des bergers de la Crau qui en modèlent son urbanisme par un bâti modeste fait de petites maisons simples et de rues étroites encore visibles de nos jours.

À compter de la Renaissance, le quartier, échappant aux transformations de la ville à l'exception du développement de l'abbaye Saint-Césaire et à la création du château d'eau au , va conserver son caractère rural et artisanal et son petit habitat ancien et individuel.

Merkel's party chooses new leader ahead of German election
Chancellor Angela Merkel's center-right party is choosing a new leader this weekend, a decision that will help shape German voters' choice of a successor to Merkel at the helm of the European Union's biggest economy after her 16-year reign.
Merkel, now 66, has steered Germany, and Europe, through a series of crises since she took office in 2005. But she said over two years ago that she won't seek a fifth term as chancellor.
Now her Christian Democratic Union party is seeking its second new leader since she quit that role in 2018. That person will either run for chancellor in Germany's Sept. 26 election or have a big say in who does run.
Current leader Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer announced her resignation last February after failing to impose her authority on the party. A decision on her successor was delayed repeatedly by the coronavirus pandemic. Eventually, the CDU decided to hold an online convention this weekend.
Delegates from Germany's strongest party can choose Saturday between three main candidates who differ markedly, at least in style. There's no clear favorite.
Friedrich Merz, 65, would mark a break from the Merkel era. The party has dominated the center ground, ending military conscription, enabling if not embracing same-sex marriage, and allowing in large numbers of migrants, among other things.
He has a more traditionally conservative and pro-business image, and recently wrote in Der Spiegel magazine that "the CDU must, whether it wants to or not, step out from the shadow of Angela Merkel."
Merz has said he wants to give a "political home" to disillusioned conservatives, but won't move "one millimeter" toward the far-right Alternative for Germany party.
Nation's capital gets ready for anything ahead of inauguration
This is Merz's second bid for the party leadership after he lost narrowly last time to Kramp-Karrenbauer, considered Merkel's preferred candidate. He led the center-right group in parliament from 2000 to 2002, when Merkel pushed him out of that job, and left parliament in 2009 — later practicing as a lawyer and heading the supervisory board of investment manager BlackRock's German branch.
Merz has sought to portray his decade out of politics as a strength but lacks government experience. Armin Laschet, the governor of Germany's most populous state, North Rhine-Westphalia, offers that.
Laschet, 59, is a more liberal figure, elected as governor in 2017 in a traditionally center-left stronghold, and viewed as likely to continue Merkel's centrist approach. In a debate among the candidates last week, he said: "What I bring is government experience, the leadership of a big state, balancing different interests and — this perhaps doesn't hurt for a CDU leader — having won an election."
The third contender, Norbert Roettgen, lost the 2012 state election in North Rhine-Westphalia. Merkel subsequently fired him as Germany's environment minister. Roettgen, 55, says he has learned from that experience. He has proclaims himself a candidate for the "modern center" who emphasizes issues such as fighting climate change.
Roettgen, now chairman of parliament's foreign affairs committee, was long considered the outsider but surveys have showed him gaining ground among CDU supporters. He suggested last week he would …read more

GOP senators in spotlight as second impeachment trial looms For a second time, Republican senators face the choice of whether to convict President Donald Trump in an impeachment trial. While only one GOP senator, Utah's Mitt Romney, voted to convict Trump last year, that number could increase as lawmakers consider whether to punish Trump for his role in inciting a deadly insurrection at the Capitol. Whatever they decide, Trump is likely to be gone from the White House when the verdict comes in. An impeachment trial is likely to start next week, as early as Inauguration Day, raising the specter of the Senate trying the previous president even as…

Jorge Rodríguez's comments came in his first interview since taking the helm of Venezuela's National Assembly over strong protests from the U.S., European Union and domestic opponents.

How Lille Managed To Stop The Dominance Of PSG In Ligue 1
Saatvik Oberoi 2 min read
Ligue 1 finally has a new champion after a few years as Lille stops PSG's dominance in the league. It was their first title since 2011 when they had the young and explosive Eden Hazard in their side. This is an excellent achievement for the manager, players, the club, and its fans. They didn't look like a title-winning side at the start of the season but were giving glimpses as to how and why they shouldn't be underestimated at all.

The board's belief in the manager has been incredible over the past couple of years, and they knew he was building a title-winning team and backed him financially, and at times when he needed the support. He and his team showed the potential that they have in them to go all the way. Their team now is a good mixture of Youth and Experience, which is much needed to guide them and lead them to victory. Mike Maignan has had an outstanding season in goal, while the center-back pairing of Jose Fonte (37 years old) and Sven Botman (21) has been the best in the country. In midfield, captain Benjamin Andre (30) has led by example, guiding tremendous talents such as Boubakary Soumare (22) and former Bayern player Renato Sanches (23). Upfront, Burak Yilmaz was in sensational form during the final stretch of the campaign, scoring six goals in the past five matches. He has been in the form of his life and was the reason for all the goals for the team.
Another primary reason for their title win is their stepping up their A-game in the title-deciding clashes. They didn't lose a single game when they came up against quality opposition like PSG, Monaco, and Lyon. This is one reason why they are champions and can defend their crown next year as well. They need to improve now on their squad depth and don't let their young stars go to other teams. If they manage to do so, they can give competition to PSG once again for the title.

Visible Ink Press : What is a down payment, how much should be invested in a down payment, and what are some guidelines for down payments?
What is a down payment, how much should be invested in a down payment, and what are some guidelines for down payments?
It is based on the buyer's ability to pay.
It determines the amount of the mortgage.
It should be saved in addition to 4-6 months of living expenses.
It is typically 10-20% of the house's price.
The down payment is the amount that you can comfortably pay in cash for the purchase of the house. This down payment, plus the mortgage amount is the price that you pay for your house (plus some additional fees and expenses). The more cash that you put down, which is a percentage of the home price, the less your mortgage amount, and therefore your monthly payment, will be.
This is a tough question because it touches on the sentiment of the purchaser. You should have already saved at least four to six months of living expenses, in a cash account for your emergency fund, in case something should happen or change in your employment. This money should not be touched, not even for the purchase of a house. The money that you have managed to save in addition to that, money that you may have invested in other ways, should be used for your initial down payment.
Most lenders would prefer to have you put down 10%-30% of the price of the house in the form of a down payment. This enables you to possibly get better interest rates, less fees or points, and reduce your monthly payments and interest over the lifetime of the loan. There are many programs offered by banks, including federal incentives, for the purchases of homes, especially for first time home buyers. Check with your bank or mortgage adviser.

This glass mason drinking jar holds 490ml (roughly 0.86 UK pints) and comes with a metal screw lid. The lid has a straw hole that is protected with a silicon grommet to prevent minor leakages (straw not included). The drinking jar has a sturdy handle making it easy to hold.
"QUALITY – Refreshing Ice Cold Drink – GLASSWARE – Est 1841".
– Do not store near heat or open flame.
– Do not use scourer or abrasive cleaners as they may cause scratches on the surface.
– The drinking jar is not leak-proof. Do not tilt the jar as the liquid may leak.
– Do not pour hot water, or pour cold liquids when the glass is hot. Sudden temperature change could lead to breakage of glass.
– Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture.
– Keep out of reach of infants and children.
– Do not use bleach or sterilize with boiling water.
– Keep fingers away from the hole in the lid to avoid injuries.
I have been using the drinking jars since the summer of last year for my cold drinks, and nothing beats drinking from a chilled glass. The jars were sold everywhere over the summer last year, which is probably why this year they are stocked in Can★Do just before the hot and humid summer (which is supposed to be very long this year). Most drinking jars I saw in stores are fairly expensive, so I was surprised to see this for just 100 yen.
The glass jar and handle is thick and solid, very pleasant to hold and carry around.
I like the silicon grommet that protects the straw hole, preventing leakages. However, the lid itself does not have any lining on the base to create a leak-proof seal between the lid and the rim of the jar.
The tin lid was scratched a bit when I got it, probably scratched when it was on the shelf over at Can★Do.
I like the size and weight of the jar when I hold it, probably make good use of it over the next couple of months.
Here are some other mason drinking jars I found. The glass jar is very similar to the one from Can★Do, but the price is 900 yen + tax.
I need buy one quality refreshing ice cold drink glassware.
Hi Helio, thank you for leaving a comment. I will email you directly if you are interested in purchasing one of the Mason Drinking Jars.
Hi Helio, thank you for the order.
You should receive the mason jar in a few days. Hope you like it.

After 35 years together, love and laughter keep us going
Kevin Fisher-Paulson
Sep. 22, 2020 Updated: Sep. 22, 2020 6:38 a.m.
1of3Brian and Kevin Fisher-Paulson pose for a photo on their wedding day on Sept. 19, 2008. In 2020, the couple celebrates 35 years since they first met.Courtesy Kevin Fisher-PaulsonShow MoreShow Less
On my side of the family, a long-lasting marriage is genetic. Nurse Vivian and Hap were married 54½ years. On Brian's side, however, marriage was more of a blood sport. They didn't have in-laws. They had "out-laws."
His Aunt Jeannie is one example. Monmouth, Maine, is not a big town. Population of 4,129, according to 2018 data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Around the time she got her sixth divorce, Aunt Jeannie calculated she had an ex-family member in 1 out of 3 households. She ran out of clergymen willing to officiate.
After Brian's mother divorced his father, Jerry, he went on to wed seven more times. His penultimate wife, Aloise, introduced him to his last, Edna, saying, "One more and we got a baseball team."
It was, therefore, highly unlikely that Brian would stay with me as long as he has. When we first met, he was a Broadway dancer, whereas I sold dinnerware in downtown Newark.
My cousin Rita introduced us over lasagna at her apartment in Jersey City in 1985. Even she said, "It's like Fred Astaire and Archie Bunker." But against all odds, it worked.
This year marked the coral anniversary of when we first met. Nothing says "I love you" quite like marine invertebrates. It was once thought that red coral protects against pestilence, so considering the plague we've had lately, maybe the timing is right.
What's our secret to happiness for all these years?
1. We're the classic Western romance. Brian's the dance hall girl. I'm the deputy. He doesn't make me tango, and I don't make him arrest criminals.
2. We didn't rush into marriage. The fact that it was illegal at the time may have contributed, but on Sept. 19, 1987, in a little bar in Chelsea, Brian and I exchanged rings in front of a priest. His job with the Catholic Church didn't last much longer, but Brian and I lasted the next 33 years and counting. In Germany that's the tin anniversary, but in France it's the porphyry anniversary. Had to look that one up. Porphyry is a crystal rock made of feldspar. After a third of a century, nothing says "I love you" quite like cooled magma.
3. We don't switch anniversary dates. We became domestic partners on Sept. 19, 1991. We got legally married, on Sept. 19, 2008. That would officially make this our 12th anniversary, traditionally pearl, but Brian never cast pearls before wine.
I wrote to Hallmark to ask for their gay anniversary list: Which year is gym memberships, and which is Beyoncé tickets?
4. We don't stay together for the children. But I do think that Zane and Aidan stay together for the sake of us parents. If brothers could divorce, Aidan would file for palimony.
We might be staying together for the sake of the dogs, who are much more loyal than our children. Queenie never complains about homework. Bandit never skips class, unlike Aidan who managed to be the first student at Riordan to earn virtual detention.
Track water shortages and restrictions across Bay Area
Updated to include drought zones while tracking water shortage status of your area, plus reservoir levels and a list of restrictions for the Bay Area's largest water districts.
5. We still make each other laugh. It's not a dad joke. It's a husband joke, which means that it's even lamer.
Whenever anyone asks me how long Brian and I have been together, I say, "35 years. And it feels like 35 minutes..." I clasp Brian's hand. He smiles and adds, "Under. Water."
We still argue over who drives worse (he does). We still live in the bedlam blue bungalow in the outer, outer, outer, outer Excelsior because that's our home. He still slouches in all of our pictures together so that people will think I'm the tall one.
We've made up our own family: sons and puppies, aunts and uncles, in-laws and "out-laws."
Oh, yeah. And love. That's the real secret.

Flight attendant breastfeeds passenger's baby aboard plane
Here's a real-life hero soaring above the clouds.
Flight attendant Patrisha Organo shared a now-viral photo last night of her holding a passenger's baby girl which she breastfed during a flight.
Organo told Coconuts Manila in a call that this happened on Tuesday morning during a domestic flight.
She said in the Facebook post that it was a check flight that she needed to take so that she could become a Cabin Crew Evaluator, a promotion from her title as an Assistant Line Administrator. Check flights are trips cabin crew members need to take before they could be qualified for other positions.
"I thought that this flight's gonna be so special as this is a big step on (sic) my flying career," she starts her post. And it actually was. She said in the Facebook post that everything went smoothly until after the plane took off.
"I heard an infant's cry, a cry that will make you want to do anything to help," she wrote.
Organo saw a mother with her child and asked her if things were alright. She asked the mother if she could feed her child but the mother said she didn't have any more formula milk.
"I don't think the mother really breastfeeds," Organo, who has been a Philippine Airlines flight attendant for over three years now, told Coconuts in a mix of English and Filipino.
She said that the mother and baby were at the airport since 9pm the night before. "[The mother was] traveling alone with [the] infant."
"I felt a pinch in my heart. There's no formula milk onboard. I thought to myself, there's only one thing I could offer and that's my own milk. And so I offered," she wrote in the post.
A co-flight attendant assisted Organo and the mother to the aircraft's galley, where most flight attendants stay and rest during a flight.
She continued in the Facebook post: "I saw the relief on her mother's eyes. I continued to feed the baby until she fell asleep. I escorted her back to her seat and just before I left, the mother sincerely thanked me."
"I was right, the flight's gonna be special, so special not only because I got qualified as [a cabin crew evaluator] but I got to help," Organo added.
She told Coconuts that she's an advocate of breastfeeding: "I wish to normalize breastfeeding because how could you breastfeed the child in the CR (restroom)? Do you guys eat in the CR (restroom)? It's an unnatural way to feed a baby."
Organo added that she was surprised by how quickly her Facebook post became viral.
"I was shocked because I just wanted to inspire my friends [and] fellow breastfeeding moms," she told Coconuts.
The Facebook post garnered over 59,000 likes and 11,600 shares as of this article's posting. Netizens commended Organo for stepping up.
Facebook user Ruel Calvelo said: "You are amazing."
Facebook user Carmela Dela Cruz wrote: "Keep it up mam (sic). God bless you."
"Good job mommy," said Alona Ramos Bucag.
"Mothers helping mothers," wrote Ria P. Estrella-Padilla.
Elma Sansawi Sanduyugan said the post made her cry.
Melita Dominguez wrote Organo had a mother's instinct.
Mj Vries said it was "true kindness."
"I love how theres no judgement (sic) between the 2 moms. Formula feeding mom and breastfeeding mom both know a fed baby is the most important," wrote Arrieanna Danielle Martinez.
Gwen Querubin Matanguihan said: "I am (sic) really envy of (sic) you. I only got the chance to breastfeed my baby for a month, and still with formula's help. [Some] might say you are boastful, posting it to social media. [But] it takes to have a really good heart, before doing such. [May] God bless you more."
Have you witnessed other random acts of kindness like this? Let us know in the comments below or tweet us @CoconutsManila.

Thanks, mate! Are you using Python? I'm trying to see if there are ML extensions for Processing (the language).
@basselch sorry for clogging up your rant with this back-and-forth chat. It's just cool to see someone else getting into ML. Thanks for the info.

Q: Does IIS 6 Virtual SMTP Server support UTF/Unicode Subject Lines I have a Windows 2008 R2 server running IIS 7.5 hosting a bunch of websites. These websites relay email through the IIS 6 Manager's Virtual SMTP Server.
I'm trying to verify whether or not this setup will allow Unicode Characters in the subject lines.
I can find references ot IIS6 supporting unicode and IIS 6 FTP service supporting unicode but cannot find a difinitive reference as to whether UTF/Unicode is supported when sending mail through the IIS 6 Virtual SMTP Server.
Here's the reference I found discussing general unicode support in IIS6 and its FTP service.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc301710.aspx

A: After some manual testing it does indeed seem to support Unicode/UTF encoding. Thought I still couldn't find a definitive reference.
