Momoko permanently straightens and smoothes frizzy, curly hair.
I'm so excited to be blogging about Momoko, by far my fave treatment to date!
As someone who suffers with frizzy, wavy, unruly hair I can empathise with people who are fighting (and losing) a daily battle with their wild mane.
After a consultation and strand test done for Jenny, we were ready to tame the mane!
1 – Pre-cleanse & protect – we started by using a pre-treatment cleanser to ensure any product build up was washed away to leave the hair fresh & ready to take shape. I also applied some Momoko Mist & APT-Micro to protect Jenny's bleached hair from unnecessary damage.
2 – Straightening Solution! – applied just under the root to the tip and combed through to ensure the C40 Straightening Solution was evenly distributed. The solution was left on for 20 minutes & a small piece of hair wrapped around a perm rod as an indicator of when the hair is ready to take a different shape. TIP when the hair isn't trying to jump away from the rod, it's ready to change.
3 – Deodorise – the Momoko treatment is almost faultless, apart from it's slightly whiffy odour, we use a Deo-Rinse Shampoo to neutralise the smell & wash away the straightening solution. I also apply CMC3, which works a similar way to a conditioner to re-moisturise the hair. After drying and straightening with Repair Milk & (the ever sought after) Shine Oil, we were ready for our next step!
4 – Neutralising – we set the hair in it's new straight position by applying the Momoko Straight C2 Neutraliser & leaving to do it's magic for 15 minutes.
5 – Finish – after again, washing with the Deo-Rinse shampoo & applying the CMC3 conditioner we applied the Repair Milk, Shine Oil and rough dried the hair. Finally straightening the hair into it's new shape.
After having a Momoko treatment, we have been advised to ensure the hair is NOT washed within 48 hours.
Breaking down the hair's bonds to reshape & change the way someone sees their appearance. I am chuffed with these results & would recommend this treatment to anyone who wants frizz-free or straight, smoother locks!
I'm booked in for mine in March, I will share my results soon!

HAMILTON, OH—Blaine Caskill woke up Tuesday morning from a night of drinking copious amounts of alcohol to discover he had placed a massive order from Amazon for books from a host of Arminian, open theist, liberal, and other authors having little to do with Caskill's frequently-proclaimed Calvinist views.
Caskill, who remembered nothing concrete of the previous evening beyond posting a triumphant picture of his glass of Glenmorangie scotch to his Reformed Facebook group page, vainly tried to remember what led him to ordering nearly $800 in books from a dizzying array of authors that could not possibly be more outside his much-asserted Reformed faith.
"I am such an idiot, I am such an idiot," repeated Caskill, still intoxicated, gazing at the email from the online store confirming his purchase of Joseph Prince's book Destined to Reign as he carelessly brushed the Broken Truck empties off his computer desk.
Attempting to retrace his steps, it appeared as if Caskill's drunken purchases began a few minutes after midnight, with a copy of The Essential Brian McLaren and Joyce Meyer's God's Not Mad At You. Amazon's records showed 27 minutes later, he purchased 12 copies of Priscilla Shirer's Fervent, with a custom gift message on the receipt reading "FOR My futurr wife and daughrtir I LOVE YOU SO MUCH". At just past 2 a.m., Caskill's order history showed a purchase including Most Moved Mover, The Circle Maker, Jesus Calling, The Jesus Calling 365 Devotional, Jesus Te Llama (Mr. Caskill does not speak Spanish), and a considerable number of one-cent plus shipping titles from Brian Houston.
In a string that seemed to challenge all five points Caskill frequently espouses almost exclusively by recycled memes, the Young, Restless, and Reformed man appeared to have then sporadically ordered a number of various titles until 4 a.m., when his browsing history showed he visited web pages including that of a local microbrewery, Rachel Held Evans' blog, and a site listing dates in his area for the upcoming BELONG tour.
Finally and perhaps most embarrassing for Caskill was the discovery he had also bid on and won an autographed copy of the T.D. Jakes tome Woman, Thou Art Loosed, for which he paid several hundred dollars.
"I was so wasted last night!" the still-blisteringly-drunk Caskill cried out, before being moved to deep, tearful repentance over his purchases.


This web page is designed to detail progress to implement our Strategic Plan and to provide a history of the process. As we work to realize the goals of the plan, two committees have been constituted: the Implementation Committee and the Evaluation of Programs Committee.
The Implementation Committee is tracking progress on the goals, providing assistance by having representatives serve on committees dedicated to achieving specific action steps, and working to ensure that the plan is a dynamic one by hearing concerns that may arise as it is being rolled out.
The Evaluation of Programs Committee is focused on the fifth goal of the plan—to create a self-sustaining financial model—by designing a template to be approved by the University Senate that will be used to evaluate all programs on campus—academic, support, outreach, and administrative. The committee hopes to present a draft of the template to the University Senate in April.
On the left side of the web page is a listing of the documents that informed the crafting of the mission, values, and vision statements and the goals of the plan as well as documents which discuss how the plan came to be.
We will provide updates regularly so the campus community can see what action steps are being achieved, any changes to deadlines or approaches to strategies, and progress on each of the five goals.

The Best AK-74u loadout for Call of Duty: Warzone
The AK-74u is one of the most powerful SMGs in Black Ops Cold War, and it can become even deadlier with a few attachments.
With the recent integration of Black Ops Cold War and Warzone, there are many new weapons available for fans of the Battle Royale. The AK-74u is a fantastic SMG, and it can become even deadlier with a few attachments.
Black Ops Season 1 is finally here, and now that the game has fully integrated with Warzone, there is a great assortment of new weapons available in Vedansk. These are suited for different combat situations, and if you prefer to meet your enemies head-on, you will benefit from sticking with SMGs.
There are various submachine guns in the game that have won fans over, but a trendy choice is the AK-74u. The Cold War version of this SMG resembles the one from Black Ops III, but with an added folding stock and Bakelite magazine.
This weapon has great accuracy and is ideal for close combat, but you can make it even better by equipping a few attachments. Here's the best AK-74u loadout in Warzone.
Best AK-74u loadout in Warzone
This AK-74u's main strengths are its accuracy, rate of fire and range. This loadout will focus on further improving these characteristics, while increasing ADS speed, movement and recoil control.
Read More: Rebirth Island Event live in Call of Duty: Warzone
Equip the weapon with the following attachments:
Muzzle: Spetsnaz Compensator,
Barrel: 9.3" Extended
Stock: Tactical Stock
Handle: Quickdraw Handle
Ammunition: 40 Rnd Drum
We'll add the Spetsnaz Compensator to increase vertical recoil control. Alternatively, you can always go for the GRU Suppressor or remove the muzzle entirely. This is because these suppressors don't offer the bullet velocity boost that you'd get from Modern Warfare's Monolithic Suppressor.
You'll be running and gunning a lot when playing with an SMG, so you need to be fast to react. The Tactical Stock and Quickdraw handle will give you a boost to your movement speed while aiming and make improve your ADS speed.
Alternatively, you could make the Spetsnaz Field Grip your Handle to improve your ADS and flinch resistance at the cost of the sprint to fire time. This way, you can immediately take out any foe who jumps out of the corner.
We'll cap this loadout off with the ammunition. The AK-74u's high fire rate makes it absolutely lethal, so the 40 Rnd Drum ammo will go along nicely with that.
Read More: Best Mac-10 loadout for CoD: Warzone Season 1
We based this AK-74u loadout on what common ones that you'd see for SMGs in Modern Warfare. This gun can be considered extremely overpowered on its own, and these attachments make it even more of a threat.
This loadout will make you a force to be reckoned with. Be sure to try out different attachments to see if you find something that suits you better.

All Black Ops Cold War multiplayer maps: Standard, Gunfight, & Fireteam
Study up – here's the maps in Black Ops Cold War.
Nicholas Sakadelis
Black Ops Cold War includes a set of new maps for Multiplayer plus the new Combined Arms and Fireteam mode. Here's the maps available/announced as of January 14, 2021.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will deliver multiple new maps that are played across a variety of modes. Some modes will support large player counts, which means some maps will be exclusive to certain larger modes.
Currently, the known variations of modes in Black Ops Cold War are: standard multiplayer at 6v6, Combined Arms at 12v12, and Fireteam at 40 players.
Here's a full breakdown of every map available now in Black Ops Cold War, and what modes they support.
Standard Multiplayer Maps (6v6 & 12v12)
Express (Coming Feb. 4)
Returning from Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Express arrives Feb. 4 in Black Ops Cold War as a 6v6 Multiplayer favorite, known fondly as the hi-tech train station that hosted many a jaw-dropping moment in competitive Call of Duty history. Express is a roughly U-shaped map featuring two train tracks looping around the transportation hub's main hall. Players can expect plenty of close-quarters combat in the hall, but should note that its glass ceiling leaves it susceptible to enemy Scorestreaks.
Long-range combat can take place across the train tracks, especially when looking out from the skybridges on either side of the map. These areas are also great places to watch one of the high-speed trains bolt by the station on one of the tracks, where it won't hesitate to take out any Operator who doesn't mind the gap.
Player Count Supported: 6v6 Modes
A legendary map that debuted in Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Raid is a sprawling luxury complex within the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, California. Fighting takes place across the living space, including a lush courtyard at the map's center, a bedroom overlooking a breathtaking pool area, a basketball half court, a well-kept garden and nearby guest living space, and the iconic roundabout entrance to the mansion. Don't stop to admire this exquisite dream home; the three-lane design gives way to competitive 6v6 combat, especially in objective modes where the central courtyard draws in action from all sides.
The Pine
Located in a neon-drenched New Jersey shopping center, The Pines is a medium-sized, multi-level map at 2900 Churman Drive, just off the I-189. The date is January 21, 1984, and there's little time to check out the latest tech at Radio House or drop a few quarters into the Pitfall!™ machine at the Galaxy Room: This is where Stitch and Adler get reacquainted. Cutting through the unique shops that populate the side lanes allows for quick, intense close-quarter battles and focused combat, while heading through the middle of the mall enables longer range assault rifle and sniper-focused duels.
Nuketown '84
Nuketown is back as Nuketown '84 in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. This new free map was made available on November 24.
Checkmate is a new map that supports 6v6 modes. That map is set inside a training facility in Berlin, East Germany.
NATO Special Forces shutdown a hidden Perseus training facility, built to practice an assassination attempt against the POTUS.
Garrison is a new map that supports 6v6 modes. This map was one of the first leaked maps for the game, when Alpha gameplay footage was shown online in June. The map is set in Hanover, West Germany.
Perseus ups the ante by targeting a NATO base in Hanover, West Germany, during a joint military exercise.
Miami supports standard 6v6 gameplay and features a neon-lit street area. Surrounding the street is a hotel with a pool (complete with a working diving board), clubs, and even a beach.
Cartel supports Standard modes and Combined Arms modes. Cartel features a large center lane filled with cover and bushes, a hangar for CQC, and a sniper tower overlooking the middle lane.
Cartel will be playable in both 6v6 and 12v12 modes with different variations of the map for different player counts.
Player Counts Supported: 6v6 and 12v12 modes
Crossroads is a Combined Arms map for 12v12 combat. The map features long sight lines across a frozen lake, a sniper overlook, multiple bomb proof buildings, tanks and snowmobiles.
Read More: How to pre-load Black Ops Cold War on PS4 Xbox, & PC
Crossroads will be feature both a 6v6 variation and 12v12 variation.
Player Count Supported: 6v6 and 12v12 modes
Armada is set on the North Sea and features a unique design. It features three large battleships, each connected via zip lines. The central ship is where most of the main combat occurs, and the other 2 ships serve as main spawn hubs for each team. You can find heavy turrets mounted on the battleships to use, or take to the water in a speedboat or gunboat.
Armada will feature both a 6v6 and 12v12 variation at launch.
Moscow is a 6v6 map packed with tight spaces and short sightlines. It is a truly classical 3 lane Call Of Duty map and is best for close-quarters combat. Playing Domination or Hardpoint on this map is a must try.
Satellite features wide open map design – perfect for long distance engagements. Snipers will populate the sand dunes and SMG/AR players will use the conveniently placed rock lanes to cross into enemy territory. In the middle rests a downed airplane that provides cover from the snipers on the opposite side of the map.
Gunfight Maps
Engage your fellow contestants in a battle of wits and gunfire, with the emphasis on the gunfire. This studio setting features plenty of places to engage a less cerebral form of competition, from the contestant podium to the stepped stage and '80s camera equipment.
Modes Supported: Gunfight
Set inside a remote launch bay of a clandestine launch facility, engage in explosive combat under the gigantic exhausts of an inter-continental ballistic missile. A roughly circular setting, with control stations, support struts, and a central payload area all viable options to take cover behind.
Hammer victory home among the ostentatious trappings of the old USSR: Deep within the famous Lubyanka KGB building is an ornate hallway of imposing marble. Seek cover behind thick wooden desks and tall library bookcases and secure a Gunfight win for you and your comrade.
Descend into the underground tunnels beneath West Berlin. Look past the concourse and tile walls of the Metro platform and storm the parked train and open subway carriage using the graffiti-covered subway car, central support pillars, and other areas as cover during this subterranean assault.
Fireteam Maps
Ten squads of four will head up to the Ural Plains to fight over objectives and vehicles on land, sea, and air. Here in the Urals is a Soviet experimental health retreat – the focus of a clandestine investigation by NATO forces in September 1984. Low wooded hills provide cover for squads to gain reconnaissance over the main, roughly circular-shaped main "hotel": a concrete, brutalist architectural behemoth flanked by lakeside structures and a large wooden dock.
With links to secret testing within State Sanatorium U-23, notes found within the grounds of this sprawling complex indicate a conditioning trial known as Project Golova.
Player Count Supported: Fireteam Dirty Bomb Mode (40 Players)
Alpine is one of the Fireteam exclusive maps. It supports a total player count of 40 players, mixed into squads of 4. Battle through the large ski-slope terrain on foot, or hop on a snowmobile.
Read More: Black Ops Cold War Campaign: Mission Overview
Ruka takes place in the Ural Mountains in the U.S.S.R. This map is specifically made for the Fireteam modes and features combat in large cabins and forest land.

Q: Is there any default autocomplete option in Angular? I tried to use autocomplete in Angular. Searched Stack Overflow and found few packages. When I try to use those package, I face few errors. So Instead of using a package, is there any default autocomplete feature in Angular without using Angular Materials?
Here I have used select option for testing. Need to move the same options to autocomplete
Here what I have tried
<select class="form-control" name="seg_id" (change)="changeShape($event.target)"> <option *ngFor="let seg of segment" [value]="seg"> {{seg}} </option> </select>

A: You can use Typeahead
Follow this link

A: This is achievable using creating your own auto-complete component
Ref here This is just an example although you need to change few things in order to get your desired functionality. But, you will get some idea out of it.
Hope it helps.

Looking Up: Meet the King of the North
Peter Becker
If you can take your eyes off the King of Planets, brilliant Jupiter dominating the south, turn around and behold the king of the constellations, King Cepheus, reigning in the northern sky.
Cepheus is not particular brilliant. Just ask his wife Queen Cassiopeia! Actually, this is no reflection on Cepheus; its stars are not as bright as in others. Yet, the star group was named by the Greeks to symbolize one of their mythological kings.
Nonetheless, Cepheus is fairly easy to see. Its principal stars form a shape of a house, with a sharp peak. Cepheus is one of several constellations that are circumpolar as seen from mid-northern latitudes.
That means as they whirl once around the point very near the North Star every 24 hours, they completely miss the flat horizon, never setting. The others are Cassiopeia the Queen, Camelopardalis the Giarafe ( a very faint group of stars), the Big Dipper portion of Ursa Major the Great Bear, Ursa Minor the Little Bear (otherwise called the Little Dipper), and Draco the Dragon.
As seen on autumn evenings, Cepheus is high up, above the North Star; as a "house" it appears upside down, with its "peak" at the bottom. The constellation of the king's mythological wife, Cassiopeia, is to the right, her five principal stars shaped like a "W" on end.
Cepheus has two particularly interesting stars for the backyard observer.
Delta Cephei is the prototype of a famous variety of variable stars. The star dims from magnitude +3.4 to +4.4 and back every 5.4 days. The change is easy to see with eyes alone, comparing the star with nearby stars of steady glow.
The period of variability is linked with the luminosity of this type variable star. Cepheid-type variables seen elsewhere in the galaxy reveal how far away they are by measuring their apparent brightness. They have even been detected in far-off galaxies, revealing the galaxy's distance and some sense of the scale of the universe.
Also look for Mu Cephei, visible to unaided eyes in reasonably dark skies. The star also varies in brightness, from 3rd to 5th magnitude. Binoculars will immediately show its deep red-orange hue. Famed 19th century English astronomer William Herschel described the color as "garnet." Ever since the star has been nicknamed the Garnet Star. This massive red giant star, if it were placed in exchange for our sun, would extend as far as the orbit of Saturn.
The Milky Way Band passes through Cassiopeia and Cepheus. You need to be away from town or city lights to see it, and there must be no moonlight. Enjoy sweeping this area with binoculars or a telescope.
Note about Pluto
Last week's column referred to Pluto and its reclassification in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), which changed its status as a planet to a new category of "dwarf planets." The reference to the "astronomical community" as making this change was misleading.
An astronomy graduate student, Laurel Kornfeld, pointed out that the decision was made by only 424 members of the IAU who voted on the matter, out of some 10,000 members. The decision remains a matter of debate among astronomers.
Last-quarter moon is on October 30.

We offer a variety of moving services that can be customized for your unique needs.
Finding the right provider of moving services can be challenging, especially since every experience is unique. Some people want help with every step of the moving process, including packing and loading the truck, while others prefer to handle the packing themselves, but need assistance with the actual transport of their items from one location to another. You may even find yourself somewhere in between, not sure exactly what moving services you want or need. At Port City Movers, we're here to simplify the stressful process of moving from one place to another.
We offer a variety of moving services that can be customized for your unique needs. For our commercial clients, the moving process is very different when moving from one office to another than it is for residential customers.

No matter what your needs may be in your upcoming move, we can make the process go much more smoothly. Our team members have years of experience and can handle moves of all sizes for customers in the Cornelius, North Carolina area.
Our moving services include packing, storage, loading and unloading, truck rentals, and more. If you're not sure if your budget will allow for professional movers, contact us to get a quote. Our reasonable prices may just surprise you. We'll take care of as much as you'd like us to, taking some of the stress out of moving.


Got the nephews out for their bday!
Date night flick with my honey bun!
Free movie day at the cinemas!
Bring it on! I'm ready!
Another good Tom Hardy flick.
I just wish it had better acting in it. Love the premise and like the world. Acting done by Jaden was horrible.
Thanks to my lovely wife for a nice surprise purchase!

In the month of April, most mushers are stowing away their sleds, thinking about which dogs to breed, and switching from mukluks to rubber boots for the arrival of mud season. But in northern Alaska a little-known circuit of village sprint races is just getting started.The races are the main event of each village's spring carnival, which features other events like basketball tournaments and snowmachine races. For the last five years I have managed to put together a mixed team of Iditarod, stage dogs and yearlings to try my luck in the last hurrah of the season. Getting to the villages is sometimes just as challenging as the races themselves. The races are centered around Kotzebue, which is serviced by most of the larger airlines. From there, I charter small Bush planes to get out to the surrounding villages. The flight costs quickly add up but the purses are good, ranging between $20,000 and $30,000 per weekend. Most of the money is raised through bingo and pulltabs, which have become a popular pastime in the villages. The first weekend in April is the Stephen Sampson Memorial Race in Noorvik, one of very few inland Eskimo villages located on the Kobuk River 60 miles east of Kotzebue (which is 200 miles north of Nome, just above the Arctic Circle). They were hosting a 3-day sprint race of 16 miles per day. I enjoyed the races two years ago and was looking forward to another fun weekend. The race is run in honor of Stephen Sampson, his oldest son, Wilbur, and Alfred Wells. In the mid-40s, Sampson was the first Eskimo to run the North American Championships in Fairbanks and he placed second. He brought along Wilbur and Wells, who both later went on to win the North American (Wilbur in '55, and Alfred in '58). At that time, the North American was as important to Alaskans as the Iditarod is today. It was still a predominantly Native sport, dominated by the village teams that would use the same dogs they worked and traveled with to run races. Villages would pool the best dogs and pick the best driver to represent the community. The winner of the race was an instant hero whose name was forever tied to their victory. Now the dog races are regarded as a celebration of their past, as the dog teams have long since been replaced by snowmachines. The race was a real hit with the older generation who watched and cheered excitedly from the banks of the river in front of town. The elders had lots of stories of the old mushing legends from their village. The race organizers made a big last-minute fund-raising effort and came up with a $20,000 purse. The race was advertised on www.Sleddogcentral.com and I thought for sure a lot of teams would show up from outside the area. As it turned out, Bill Kornmueller, a top sprinter from Willow, Alaska, and I were the only drivers who flew in. There were only four other teams that showed up; two from Kotzebue who snowmachined in their teams using dog haulers (a large, open-topped, plywood box mounted on skis that 14-18 dogs can ride in), one from Ambler, 100 miles upriver, and one from Noorvik. Getting to the Villages is sometimes just as challenging as the races themselves.I stayed with Bobby Wells, son of the late Alfred Wells. He had lots of great stories about growing up with dogs. Today, village children have more in common with suburban children than their ancestors; they are more interested in basketball, Game Boys, rap music and TV. Their native language has steadily faded but is now in a resurgence, as it is a common elective taken by students. Many of the older generation still speak a mix of English and Inupiat, and I found myself the subject of many jokes that were spoken partly in English with the punch line being said in Inupiat. The punch line would hit and everyone would laugh at me. I'd turn a little red and someone would always explain the joke in English. They are a wonderfully fun and good-natured group of people that enjoy teasing and laughing, and their hospitality was endless. We watched a cool movie called "The Fast Runner." It's made up in Igloolik in the far north of Canada. It was a story about the old Eskimos that was really well done with very accurate historical clothing, customs and ways of living featured. I had only seen the movie one other time the last time I was in Noorvik. It was all done in Canadian Inupiat language with subtitles. Several of the Wells' friends showed up and reminisced while watching the movie about the old ways, comparing the Canadian customs to their own. Bobby's cousin told a story about an old Shaman when he was a kid that would shoot an arrow across the sky that would come back and hit him, narrowly missing bone and lodging deep into his shoulder. If the feathers of the arrow had lots of caribou blood and hair on it they would take off that direction in hunt of the caribou, otherwise they would head the other way. It was a great place to be a fly on the wall.The race went off pretty well. I did a little better than I had thought I would, placing in second place all three days behind Kornmueller. As a send-off they had a nice banquet and feast. The next weekend was the Arctic Circle Championships in Kotzebue. It's a 3-day race of 25 miles per day all held out on the sea ice in front of town. I was hoping for a blizzard to slow Kornmueller down as well as some of the other true sprinters who were rumored to show up. I've run this race three other times, placing 3rd once and 2nd twice. The trophies are always beautiful here. One year the trophies were carved out of ivory with Scrimshaw etching. Last year's trophies were little hand-tied miniature dog sleds. This year they were made out of jade from one of the local mines. All outside mushers are put up with host families. I've stayed all five years with Paul and Margaret Hanson, who have become good friends over the years. Paul and his family have a small kennel and run the sprint races, which makes a lot of the logistics for me much easier. I mail dog food up a week in advance, which saves me lots of money in freight when flying the team from Fairbanks into Kotzebue. Paul always picks me up with his dog hauler at the airport and there's a great spot to tie out 16 dogs right next to his house.I ran the Kobuk 440 in 2002 and was amazed at the village support and hospitality we received. I had never seen so many villagers out to watch a dog race as when we arrived for the 440, not even in the Iditarod. The same weekend as Arctic Circle, the Kotzebue Dog Musher's Association was hosting the Kobuk 440. The 440 is a grueling mid-distance race that runs up the Kobuk River to the village of Kobuk and back to Kotzebue via Selawik. KDMA is a very active dog club, also funded by the local bingo players. Each year they pay out more than $120,000 in prize money throughout their race season. The spring races are weighted heaviest, with $25,000 set aside for the Arctic Circle and $55,000 for the Kobuk 440. The competition is always stiff in the 440 with top local teams of Ed Iten, John Baker and Louie Nelson racing. Other teams that flew in in 2005 include Jeff King, Lance Mackey, Dave Monson, Ramey Smyth and Jacques Phillip. I ran the 440 in 2002 and was amazed at the village support and hospitality we received. I had never seen so many villagers out to watch a dog race as when we arrived for the 440, not even in the Iditarod. In Selawik, a village most mushers stay only a few hours, it seemed the whole town was packed into the community hall that had a huge buffet of food that was reserved for mushers and elders. Whenever a musher would enter the room to grab a bite to eat, the whole room would erupt in applause. I remember it being a huge mental boost that helped get my sore body back on the runners for the 85-mile push to the finish line. Kotzebue is known for its tumultuous weather. As a musher coming to a sprint race with a team trained for longer distances, I had always welcomed the storms that usually served as an equalizer, giving the longer-trained teams at least a chance to race with the speedsters. But in 2005, the weather was perfect and Kornmueller ran away with it again. The other sprinters rumored to show up never made it and I placed second, just ahead of the local teams. Jeff King put together a great run on one of the best trails the 440 had seen in years. I watched most of the 440 teams finish and was really impressed at how well the dogs looked after running 440 miles on only 20 hours of minimum mandatory rest. The next weekend I chartered a Cessna 206 out to Shishmaref, a tiny barrier island on the Chuckchi Sea. This would be my third time to Shish and I really enjoy it there. The folks are super nice, especially the Nayokpuks whom I stay with. Herbie Nayokpuk is a retired Iditarod racer who was a real Alaskan hero in his time. He came close to winning the race several times in the '80s. A big Eskimo with a huge smile and a quick wit, he's also legendary for his ivory carvings. Shish is probably the coolest village I've ever been to. We had an awesome plane ride going over even though we were totally overloaded in the Cessna 206. The gross payload for the 6-seater aircraft is 1,000 pounds. I started doing a little math in my head when we got to the terminal in Kotzebue and suggested to the pilot that we weigh everything to make sure. He reluctantly did so, I think more to satisfy my concern than for his. I was shocked to see that everything weighed in at 1,400 pounds. I was amazed when the pilot shrugged it off and told me "If we can get it in the aircraft, I can fly 'er". We removed the back seats and started piling straw, dog food, buckets, chains, harnesses and my sled in the center of the aircraft, leaving about 8 inches of floor space around the outside of this floor-to-ceiling pile of gear for the dogs. Right about dog number 12 of the 16 that were going, the tricycle-gear airplane tipped backwards, landing hard on its tail. The tail had a thin metal brace designed to stop such a fall to protect the tail rudder and body of the craft. The brace looked pretty banged up already and I was surprised to see the pilot hardly take notice and keep piling dogs in. Flying to Noorvik I had taken a 207, which is the 7-seater version of the 206 with a slightly larger cargo area that still had a 1,000-pound payload. I thought we were tight in the 207. After we shoehorned the last dog in and got the door slammed shut, two big mechanics came out and muscled the tail back up so we could quickly climb in. When we got in the pilot yelled back to the mechanics, asking if the plane was going to keep horizontal. They let go and I felt us tip back slightly, perched warily in a nose-up configuration. The mechanics gave the thumbs up and the pilot fired the motor, which slowly brought the nose back down just enough so we could see over the dash. As we taxied out to the tarmac I asked the pilot if the FAA doesn't have strict standards on weight limits. He didn't exactly answer my question but rather said "if we adhered to all the rules up here, nothing would get done". That made me a bit nervous.... "Thank God the Kotzebue airstrip is so long", I thought. Amazingly, it only took about a fourth of the airstrip for us to lift off. As the pilot got settled in I asked him what the most amount of weight was he's carried in that aircraft. When he told me "1,650 pounds" I didn't feel quite so nervous any more.After flying out to Noorvik, the dogs were amazingly well behaved and quiet on our 9-hour flight across Kotzebue Sound and along the shoreline out to Shishmaref. The pilot kept us low, at around 500 feet above the ice. The ice was very jumbled but I couldn't see any open water. A few times I spotted some young ice, a smooth area that was obviously a recently frozen lead. These patches of young ice usually had small cracks where I could see seals laying there sunning themselves in the long daylight hours. A couple of times the pilot circled down and we flew right over them to get a closer look. We also saw a herd of about 40 caribou and another group of 15 muskox. When we flew over the muskox, I could see them all jump up and form a circle, which is the known technique of defending themselves. As we hit Cape Espenberg and flew along the coastline, every once in a while I would spot a single snowmachine track and wonder what it would be like to be out in that stark, desolate country all by yourself on a snowmachine. I feel much safer driving a dog team. Every now and then we'd see tiny plywood shacks here and there that serve as shelter cabins for travelers and hunters. When we landed, several snowmachines had pulled up to greet us and help us get to Herbie's. When I opened my passenger-side door, about three dogs piled out, dangling by their short drop-chains that I had connected to various spots on my sled. When I opened the side cargo door about five more dogs sprang out as well. None of the locals there had a hauler, so we just strung my line out and hitched the dogs right up to the sled and ran them from the airport to Herbie's place, only about a mile away. Herbie and his family were all smiles as usual and it felt like I had just left yesterday. I arrived just after they had eaten a meal of Eskimo food, as they call it, which consisted of muktuk (whale fat) and black meat (dried seal) all smothered in seal oil. The first time we came to Shishmaref, my wife Gwen really did me in. She loves Eskimo food, which made her an instant hit in town. She took the lead in the race on the second day (being the first woman ever to lead that race) and that night all of Herbie's wife's friends came over and they made a huge bowl of Eskimo ice cream. They made it the old way, with berries, some sugar, seal oil and dried caribou fat, all whipped and stirred by hand…meaning with their fingers. I sunk further and further in the corner as Gwen gulped down bowl after bowl. I've never really liked fish anyways and seal oil is like fish times 100. Ever since then they always get a kick out of telling me my wife is tougher than me because I don't eat Eskimo food. Last year I went out on a limb and tried a little bit, eating some muktuk, caribou tongue soup and rings or walrus intestine. This year I tried to stay as politely far away from the Eskimo food as possible. The one thing I didn't mind though was muktuk. The outer skin is about a half inch thick with the rubbery consistency of an all-season radial, while the pink inside is pure fat. However, it doesn't taste fishy at all. Shishmaref is the longest of the races, with three 36-mile heats. Most of the outside sprinters usually call it a season after Kotzebue, but it's an interesting event when sprinters and distance racers compete together. Usually a few distance teams fly in from Nome. Joe Garnie, a famous Iditarod racer from Teller, often runs his team in the 70 miles from his village a few days before the race and always seems to manage a top showing. I was the only musher from the Arctic Circle Championships to fly in. With Kornmueller out of the picture, we managed to end the season on a high note with a win. Nils Hahn from Nome edged out the local sprinters on the last day with his steady Iditarod team to finish second place. After the dog races, basketball and the nightly bingo games, the highlight of the weekend was watching the Eskimo dancing. In Eskimo culture, the dancing was a traditional way of story telling and passing on legends from generation to generation. It was slowly dying out until about 15 years ago when a group of Chukchi Eskimos from Russia sailed their boats over to Wales, through Shishmaref, and on to Kotzebue for a mid-summer gathering. Along the way they stayed in Shishmaref and shared their dancing with the community. After that, the younger generation has taken more of an interest in reviving the dancing and I was happy to see that most of the dancers there were younger than 35 years old. I watched for hours the graceful movements to the beat of the skin drum and the chanting of the singers. None of it made any sense to me, other than it seemed quite powerful and that everyone really seemed to enjoy themselves. I had a feeling though, especially since I was the only non-local and the winner of the race, that I would be asked to dance. Sure enough, towards the end of the night, one of the dancers made an announcement that the winner of the dog race was present but hadn't danced yet. The crowd gave a cheer as my face turned apple-red. I obliged, though and put on their traditional pair of gloves and got out in front of everyone to shake my stuff. I kept beat with the drum but didn't know what exactly to do with my feet. I probably looked like I was trying to stomp out a fire…a little one. Being a relative newcomer to the sport, this circuit offers a glimpse into what dog racing used to be like. It harkened back to the days when the top dog racers were heroes. The outside mushers, especially, were treated like kings in all of the villages. I had won the race in Shishmaref last year and was amazed when many of the locals, whom I had never met, knew my name and even knew some of my dogs' names. After Shishmaref the dogs and I were ready to get back home to Fairbanks, which was enjoying warm temperatures (the warmest it was on the whole trip was 15 above). But no matter anxious I was to get back home and put an end to a long season, it's always hard to say good-bye to the region.Ken Anderson and his wife Gwen Holdmann live in Fairbanks, Alaska. They compete in many mid- and long-distance races.


We've added a traditional style steak knife for those who know just how versatile a small knife like this can be. It can work for small game or even larger animals, especially when getting into those tight spots. If you look closely, you can see this particular knife is one piece of steel which includes the bolster/guard area and continues all the way to the end beneath the bone handle.
With an overall length of 10-1/2" and a blade length of 5-1/2", this is a great chopping knife. It also has a super sharp edge to allow you to easily slice your food too.


What is Love To A Jealous Person?
There is no love with jealousy. Love is about trust. If jealousy is in the middle then it is what they call psychotic love which is unhealthy. Better to be single then with a torrid love filled with jealousy. It will only destroy you.

In order to ensure the safety of human life, a system for grounding electrical devices was specially developed. By itself, grounding is a ground wire, which in turn is connected to a grounding point and conductor. The conductor is located in the ground. In most cases, a steel or copper rod is used for the conductor. Some experts recommend using water mains as grounding, but this is not a completely reliable method. So, consider in detail how to make the grounding in the apartment on their own.
A few meters of stranded wire of suitable cross section.
Metal strip, the cross section of which should be 50 mm 2 .
First you need to replace the existing two-wire electrical network with a three-wire one. It is necessary to purchase sockets that are designed for three contacts. As a rule, two-contact sockets were installed in an apartment without grounding. If you are in the apartment completely change the wiring, then immediately run three wires. To connect an outlet with grounding, you must correctly determine the "zero". Accordingly, of the three wires laid, only one wire will be positive. In the process of connecting one neutral wire is connected to ground, and the second directly to the power supply. When all the wires are connected, the ends must be exposed, removing the insulation from them. Further, the vein is divided into two equal halves, between which a screw with a washer is inserted. This wire with a screw must be fastened to a specially prepared place on the shield. In most cases, on the shields, the place for fixing the ground connection is indicated by an appropriate sign, it can be Ground or GND.
If there is no conditional place, then the wire can be fixed to a metal base shield.
As a rule, a wire for grounding in an apartment is held for electric ovens, washing machines, a bathroom, and so on. For some household appliances and stationary devices, the grounding device is simply necessary according to the instructions. In private houses and cottages make the ground loop. How to make it, it goes on.
The accumulation of static electricity can be not only in very wet rooms. Therefore, to make a grounding circuit is necessary to ensure the safety of the electrical system in the house. In addition, not even an electrician can do this. This device is very easy to make: it's enough to drive several electrodes into the ground and connect them with metal strips.
The first step is to dig holes for the installation of electrodes. They should be in the shape of a triangle.
Electrodes are driven to maximum depth.
Small trenches are dug up between three pins.
Three electrodes are interconnected by a metal strip.
As mentioned above, the strip must have a cross section of 50 mm 2 . Then the contour is welded. A grounding wire is attached to the contour with a bolt and nut.
There is a lot of controversy about whether the bath should be grounded or not. It should be noted that the bath is essentially a potentially dangerous object, so it is best to ground it.
Some throw a ground wire from the bath onto a sewer or water riser. But now this technology may fail, for example, if the neighbors on the floor below replace the riser with plastic. For this reason, grounding is best done on the panel, which is a special grounding bus. Consider the examples of cast iron / metal bath and acrylic earthing.
Metal / Cast Iron Bath Grounding.
Mainly a hole is drilled in the leg. Then the grounding strap is fastened with a bolt and a nut with a washer.
In modern cast-iron / metal baths, a special petal is made, which is specially designed for grounding. It is very easy to attach a stranded cable.
If electrical water heaters are additionally installed in the bathroom, then they must also be grounded.
If we talk about acrylic, it does not conduct current by itself. But despite this, an acrylic bath can accumulate a small amount of static electricity. As a rule, such baths are mounted on a metal base, which should be grounded.
This also applies to the installation of a hydromassage bath. Such devices must be connected to a separate outlet, which should also be grounded. Moreover, these sockets are mounted at a certain distance from the hydromassage: from the edge of the bath 700 mm, and from the floor 500 mm. For security purposes, you can install a separate RCD circuit breaker on the panel, which will protect equipment from power surges.
For earthing with acrylic and cast iron / metal baths, use stranded wire with insulation, the cross section of which should be 6 mm 2 . Grounding points should hide behind a decorative installation, so as not to spoil the appearance of the bathroom.
Often when washing a machine can break through the current. Especially often this happens in the process of removing wet laundry from a metal drum.
One of the simple methods of grounding is to install the RCD and the system equipotential bonding.
During the assembly process, it is important to check the wire for integrity of the insulation. As mentioned above, it is better not to use plumbing and sewage for the removal of stray currents.
When installing electrical wiring, it is recommended to make a separate outlet for the washing machine.
It is not recommended to use the carrier.
To connect electricity to a typewriter, you must use a three-core wire. One of them will perform the role of grounding.
On such tracks it is not recommended to use twist to connect the wires. The wire from the machine and to the outlet for the washing machine, should be solid.
As for the machine, it is best for the washing machine use the power of 45 A. If the outlet is waterproof, then it can be put in close proximity to the typewriter. If not, then outside this room. In this case, you will need to extend the wire from the washing machine to the place of its electricity supply. In fact, this method of grounding those or other household appliances is performed according to one scheme. The most important thing is to properly perform the initial work.
It is recommended to ground all household appliances in an apartment.
Each outlet in the apartment must be grounded.
It is not allowed to connect the equipment or grounding of sockets with the neutral wire when the device is in working condition.
When connecting the cable, the power must be temporarily disconnected at the distribution board.
For quality grounding work, special grounding terminals should be used.

In a sleepy East Michigan town, best known as Dow Chemical's world headquarters, a former Chemical Bank branch is now home to a decidedly more free-spirited venture. The Grove Tea Lounge in Midland, Michigan, is a collaborative project between two couples, Patrick and Shannon McElgunn and Erin and Joe Rivard, who all came together to share their passion for tea, as well as create a new and exciting space for their hometown.
Three soft opening events were held last week, including an Emergency Responders preview day that welcomed the community's emergency responders to enjoy a restoring cuppa and check out the new lounge. The space officially opened for business on Thursday, February 2, serving tea, kombucha, drip coffee, espresso, and a selection of food items. Patrick McElgunn informed Fresh Cup that the former bank's drive thru window will soon be operational by late February or early March, after the team dials in indoor service.


In his first expansive interview since he took over Juhu's iconic Prithvi theatre three months ago from sister Sanjna Kapoor, Kunal Kapoor, 53, says he wants the theatre to cut losses, as far as is possible. Kunal wants to achieve this without compromising on the theatre's commitment to experimentation. Suprateek Chatterjee reports.
In his first expansive interview since he took over Juhu's iconic Prithvi theatre three months ago from sister Sanjna Kapoor, Kunal Kapoor, 53, says he wants the theatre to cut losses, as far as is possible. Kunal wants to achieve this without compromising on the theatre's commitment to experimentation.
Kunal, who is a co-trustee of Prithvi, used to run the theatre back in the 1980s. Since the early 1990s, he was involved in the major administrative decisions and focused on his ad filmmaking career, leaving Sanjna to manage Prithvi's day-to-day affairs.
However, despite an average audience occupancy of 82%, Prithvi does not — and cannot — make a profit. Kunal says, "We run at an average loss of Rs2.5 lakh a month.
Kunal Kapoor, 53, stands outside Prithvi theatre in Juhu's Janki Kutir, speaking on the phone while puffing on a Marlboro cigarette. It is about four o'clock in the evening and an event named Mehfil — a monthly sit-down discussion on all things related to Urdu literature and ghazals — is about to get under way. This is its first edition.
There's a fair amount of commotion around as men prepare to set up a projection screen and gaddas for the event.
"Why haven't you set this up yet?" asks Kapoor, in an irritated tone. A second later, though, he breaks into a grin — a jovial, boyish one that reminds one of his father, Shashi Kapoor, as well as his uncle, Raj Kapoor — and the mood lightens immediately.
The easy camaraderie among everyone who works here reflects the loyalty of the staff, some of whom have been associated with the theatre for years. For instance, Lalit Sathe, a familiar face in Prithvi who used to man the booking office, is the son of Prithviraj Chauhan's driver and, currently, the theatre's manager. According to Kunal and everyone else who comes to Prithvi, he is family.
In a way, it's all come full circle as Kunal, who has been getting back into the groove of running Prithvi after his sister Sanjna decided to move on to another project, was the one who originally took charge after his mother, who had been running it since its inception in 1978, passed away in 1984. At the time, he was about 25 years old and the oldest amongst the children.
"While Sanjna is looking at spreading theatre at a pan-India level, I'm looking at venues we can partner with for the Prithvi festival as well as other events," says Kunal. He's open to looking at venues across the city as long as they meet the specifications of being easy to access and providing a good viewing experience for the theatre-goer.
Indeed, the theatre is running as smoothly as ever, with an average occupancy of 82%. However, given its philosophy of offering theatre space at subsidised rates, Prithvi does not and cannot support itself. "We run at an average loss of Rs 2.5 lakh a month. The corpus we had has already been spent on the first phase of repairs." This is one of the reasons Prithvi theatre is looking to raise its rates after more than two years, although Kunal and theatre group owners insist the rise will be extremely reasonable (see 'Great expectations').
He is also open to corporate funding, which it has had twice in the past for a combined period of 16 years, but within limits. "We don't want to lose our identity in the face of corporate branding. Prithvi should never be renamed to 'Company name' Prithvi theatre," he says with a laugh.


In contrast with regular marriages, whose formal status is awarded by a representative of a religious institution (in Israel, by a rabbi), the formal status of a couple married in a civil ceremony is granted by a civil authority. Israel is the only democracy in the world where it is not legally possible to arrange a civil marriage. Notwithstanding, Israel recognizes the needs of registration and, under certain conditions, recognizes civil marriages arranged overseas, subject to legal and procedural requirements.
Numerous couples in Israel prefer civil marriages for various reasons—firstly and foremost their desire to break away from institutionalizing their connection through a rigid religious establishment that demands compliance with religious laws incompatible with the couple's lifestyle and ideology. Occasionally this involves a couple that is disqualified from marriage such as a Cohen and a divorcee, etc.
If you wish to be married in a civil marriage we highly recommended that you do so with the accompaniment and assistance of an attorney experienced in family law and who is well-versed in the intricacies of this complex area. Furthermore, if you have been married in a civil ceremony and your marriage disintegrates, here too it is worthwhile contacting an attorney expert in family law.
