ALTERNATIVE to DT- READ using acetic acid-lympth IS key!!
heads up people ive been around the forums for years, way way back i . i was around when the original hair-site forum was good, when regrowth.com was a cutting edge forum etc.
anyway enough of me. regarding the lymph (and dt) i was using dt for some time and getting the 'sore red welts' that everyone was talking about including the crunching popping sound when you press/knead your head. although dt works, i was looking for a solution that was more time/cost effective. if you imagine i started from the assumption that calcification/and or fibrosis was taking place on the scalp and this was what was causing the crunching sounds, when you press on the scalp, i then looked for chemicals that would aid this.
(calcification broke down TOO WELL) lymph tries to drain the excess away, but too much debris overloads you and makes you sick) my scalp actually squishes when i press on it now. pretty sure that vacuum cupping of the scalp, neck, forehead etc will help lymph drainage. Ive been a lurker for years and looking from the outside in on the forums (every now and then) its OBVIOUS to me that calcification/ fibrosis, lymph drainage and dt therapy (vacuum cupping) and DIET are all the parts of the jigsaw.
I wonder whether dealing with these issues will be enough on their own or whether they will just allow all the chemicals that should have worked|(but don't!) to now actually do their job. Either way in my HUMBLE opinion unless the above is addressed NOTHING will work and people as a demographic with continue to get mixed, unsuccessful or just downright disappointing haphazard results.
p.s it amazes me that people more obscure ways to break down calcification whereas if one just googles acetic acid (in vinegar by the way!) and calcification up comes ......Acetic acid iontophoresis which pretty much proves beyond a doubt that its a good substance to help in this area.
Re: ALTERNATIVE to DT- READ using acetic acid-lympth IS key!!
Interesting research. I do not think that red welts are a common part of dt , at least not from pressing or hand massage.. maybe pinching.
What's funny is a pretty similar thing the OP described has happened to me before. There was a time I mixed magnesium oil with some Topical Grapefruitseed extract and did some DT for about 20 minutes. I remember my head feeling like it shrunk, and then getting a headache a bit later. A few hours later I felt sick as hell with flu like symptoms. Crazy stuff.
It is interesting. Did you mix the solution yourself or buy a 20% diluted solution off the shelf?
I looked more into this today. Apparently the idea of it was to put the calcification into an acidic environment to make it soluble and be processed through the bloodstream. So yeah, get enough of it moving at once and you'd mess up your system during the 'detox'.
I forgot that I tried this once inadvertently. There's an old wives' tale a soccer playing taxi driver told me about where you wrap a busted bone in a vinegar soaked compression bandage and it'll heal you like a miracle. He said he scored three goals the next game. Anyway, I tried it and it didn't do a thing, buuut, everything in there has hardened now so the actual idea of it from way back when may actually be about dissolving calcification. The other thing is I used apple cider vinegar because I had it handy, but white vinegar is more acidic than ACV, so considering the mechanism, should be more effective..
I'm gonna retry this with my ankle using white vinegar this time and see what effect it has, considering I know that's calcified to all buggery I can use freedom of movement as a reasonable test of viability of the treatment. Interesting that grape seed oil has also been shown to be effective so I might try that if this doesn't work out as well.
normal vinegar wont do the trick im afraid or they may eventually but will take (in our terms far too long)i buy pure acetic acid and dilute!!!! its cheap do not inhale the fumes or ever try to smell pure acetic acid. the fumes are dangerous. however they dont leak into the air as long as you dont purposely sniff the bottle your fine. just thought id mention. its quite safe to dilute wear goggles, and gloves.
isn't this incredibly dangerous ?
iuyyighghghgkh wrote: isn't this incredibly dangerous ?
Or ACV, assuming we're going the vinegar route?
So what, like just put this stuff in a spray bottle and keep your scalp saturated with it by spraying it on periodically for a few hours? What sort of ratio should we have, pure ACV, 1 part ACV - 1 part water, what?
Appreciate the responses proscar, but no way I'm diluting my own acetic acid. All the tests used acetic acid at 5%, which is your standard vinegar. I've bought some double strength ACV at 8% acetic acid which I don't mind toying with. Any more than that and you're playing games with your bones. There's no studies in 20% on the scalp, so who knows if you're just liquefying your scalp, not to mention the dangers of an idiot like me mixing it myself. If it's going to do anything, it makes sense to me to start with an 8% vinegar and see how that feels.
As a general comment, ACV will dry out your hair, so I reckon every day is probably a bad idea. I'm thinking every few days as part of a dt regimen might speed things along.
dissolve 30 tablets in 60ml of water, filter in a coffee filter, then spray on scalp.
Can't this be more or less remedied by using this solution an hour or two before a shower so that you can wash it off with a natural shampoo? Or even apply some oils to your hair after the vinegar dries then shower.
From my experience, it'll dry out your hair even if you use it in the shower and wash it off immediately. May just be me, because I have very dry skin anyway. However, yeah if you have some oils you can put in you're comfortable with and working, go nuts. I'm gonna go with every few days to see if I notice the difference after I massage with it in and without it.
Ok thanks, and good luck, looking forward to hearing about this.
Before I mostly just poured ACV in my hair, or sprayed it diluted DURING a shower, so a few minutes at most. That probably doesn't do anything, except maybe conditions nicely.
I stand corrected on ACV drying out hair... it's been conditioning beautifully. My head's shaved, but running my hands over it used to feel like straw. Now it's like a fluffy animal.

EDIT: Sorry I forgot to ask, when and how do you apply it?
I think I already mentioned I'm using a spray bottle, 100% undiluted, at least an hour before a shower.
I just throw it on my head from the bottle and splash it in, then do dt with the ACV on my head and wash it out later with cold water. Gonna give it another two weeks before I report anything, but I'm liking it so far.
to do the job, its not strong enough, even if you use it for years. Drastic situations require drastic actions, 20% acetic acid may seem strong, but its not even a medium peel. you need to wise up people. i cant believe its become an ACV thread. ridiculous!!!! you will get no-where using such methods. thats all folks!!!!
Just buy double strength apple cider vinegar instead.
place it over your scalp.
ACV DOES NOT WORK SAME TIRED OFF POSTS!!!!! PLEASE use another thread!
as i mentioned earlier this actually isn't about acv, i don't know why its become so. ACV WONT WORK as the acid content is too low. i appreciate the member above knowledge but on this subject hes dead wrong. acetic acid is completely safe if handled correctly, as someone whos used to handling this substance for professional purposes i should know. we are not children and i don't like scaremongering. acetic acid can be bought in differing strengths and can also be diluted. acv is pointless as its too low and if if had the effect on the lymph, i would be using it myself. read the thread headline people. show me pub-med reports that acv breaks up calcification. that's just bro science. acetic acid does. if people want to talk about acv then make another thread this was started BY me offering knowledge of what works! lymph is key! and your not going to change the state of your situation using acv.
......but vinegar is just diluted acetic acid.
I'm going to try your acetic acid/magnesium oil mix. I bought the 20% vinegar off Amazon and have Magnesium Oil. How often do you apply it? I've used peels, even some strong ones like 20-30% TCA so I'm used to peeling.
How much peeling do you get with this? I plan on putting on the topical, letting dry, then using a Pure Therapy handheld scalp massager to do the DT work. I also have a rebounder so I'll be using that to help stimulate lymph movement/drainage. Any other recommendations?
Soak apple vinegar in a towel or paper towel and wrap around the area.
It works. It dissolved a calcium heel spur on this man's foot.
To use on the scalp you would have to put on a swimming cap to hold the towel in place.

Lucio Arce has an authentic caberet feeling to his guitar playing and singing. There are overtones, sometimes, of jazz and playfulness.
Comments: the dancing starts immediately. The core is engaged.
If you turn it a little bit, Malakai. This is not a part of the easy sit.
Turn it more, more, more. It's your backs to me.
And you'll see the tightness in her thighs, and the arch in her back. Which is very nice.
His legs are flat. You can rest for a second.
One thing I didn't talk about, which I should have. If we show to this camera.
I guess, it won't reach in that camera. So, we show to this camera.
I don't want the leaders to think, "You pull in". It's not rah. You know, on her rib cage. Poor girl.
It's... You come, underneath the rib cage. You know, that sort of meaty part where there's nothing to hurt.
And then, the goal is not to crunch in, but just enough to pick her up.
So, for the leaders: just in, just enough to pick her up. For the followers,
Right. From the beginning.
How do I say this?
I want you to really stabilize a lot. So, you're pushing down, but you're also stabilizing. And slowly, engaging.
He's like, "Man, David is heavy compared to Jessica". Which is true.
Malakai's strong, it's OK. One more time.
Nice. Very nice. Because of the deliberateness of the start, and engagement in the centers.
Thighs come close, tight.
Right now, I'd like you to show the sense that you can really come underneath the follower.
To grab, to pick up. So, the thighs can also do a lot of the work.
He's like, "I don't need to do that". It's true, he doesn't. But it's very useful.
So, you see the underneath. He grabs. And then, the body helps pick her up.

Q: Question about Polynomial Factor Theorem I was reading the solution to an algebra problem but got stuck at one part.
Problem is here: (http://math.la.asu.edu/~ifulman/mat194/problem-solving.pdf) Example 4.2.6 -- page 140 of the PDF (the book page is numbered 129).
The solution states that $g(a_i)^2+h(a_i)^2=0, \space \therefore g(a_i) =h(a_i)=0$. By the Factor Theorem, both $g$ and $h$ must be divisible by $(x-a_i)$ I understand that.
But then it then states: "the multiplicity of these zeroes must be at least $m_i$;" therefore, $f(x)|g(x)$ and $f(x)|h(x)$.
I don't understand why the multiplicities of $g$ and $h$'s zeroes have to be at least $m_i.$ If we consider an integer analogy, $2^6 = (2^6-2)+2,$ but while the 2 on the left side has a "multiplicity" of 6, the powers of 2 in both terms of the right side is 1. To me it seems that the solution states that because both the left side and the right side are divisible by 2, $(2^6-2)$ and $2$ must have multiplicities of 6 (not a perfect analogy but you get the idea). Came someone explain to me the book's reasoning?

A: Because, when you divide by $(x-a_i)^2$ (which you can do), you have the same equation but with $m_i \gets m_i -1.$ So, by induction, the order of the zeros of $g, h$ is at least $m_i.$

A: Hint $\ $ Cancel $(x-a_i)^2$ then inductively apply the same argument.

Reviewed by Richard A. Glenn, Department of Government and Political Affairs, Millersville University, Pennsylvania. Email: richard.glenn [at] millersville.edu.
It is a wise practice for book reviewers to disclose up front biases that may affect their reviews. So here is mine: TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD has been my favorite fiction text since I first read it in an honors English class in eighth grade. I have read it regularly since. One of my most prized possessions is a signed copy of a first edition, inscribed, "To Richard . . . With best wishes, Harper Lee." I have been to Monroeville, Alabama, Harper Lee's hometown and the model for the fictional town of Maycomb. I have visited the courthouse, traveled the "route" from the elementary school to the Finch residence, and even have a piece of bark from one of the "trees" that sat on the edge of the Radley property. Atticus Finch is my literary hero. And I have never forgotten the novel's lessons about tolerance and justice.
The novel is set in the depression-era South. Maycomb is a typical small southern town - the principal recreation is church (Protestant only); the climate is hot; and the races are segregated. The story is narrated by Jean Louise Finch. Scout, as she prefers to be called, is a feisty, preternaturally perceptive, and precocious six-year old. Her vocabulary rivals that of many college students. Scout's playmates are Jem – her older brother by four years – and Dill Harris, a six-year old who lives in Meridian, Mississippi, but visits his aunt in Maycomb each summer. (Truman Capote, a childhood friend of Lee's who lived with his aunt in Monroeville, served as the model for Dill.) Atticus – Scout and Jem's father – is a simple lawyer, a part-time state legislator, and a respected father and community figure. He walks almost everywhere he goes. Calpurnia, the Finch's black housemaid, is a stern, motherly figure; she has earned the confidence of Atticus and assists him in raising the children. (Scout and Jem's mother passed away when Scout was two.)
Throughout their first summer together, Scout, Jem, and Dill execute various plans to get a neighbor, Arthur "Boo" Radley, to come out of his house. Their efforts are humorous but unproductive – in large part because they are too frightened of this "malevolent phantom" who has not been seen for fifteen years. According to legend, Boo once bit off his mother's finger, is chained to his bed, and dines on cats and squirrels.
That fall, Scout enters first grade. Her adjustment to formal education is difficult. She especially does not like the new way of "teachin'" called the Dewey Decimal System. When Scout brags in class that Atticus taught her to read many years ago, her instructor informs her that she will take over that responsibility and "try to undo the damage." The temperamental Scout [*336] sulks when she is told that her father "does not know how to teach." She is also disappointed that her teacher is uninformed about the peculiarities of her students – such as the poverty-stricken yet fiercely proud family of Walter Cunningham. When Scout complains about these misfortunes to her father, Atticus offers her a "simple trick": "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view" (p.36).
Traveling to and from school each day, Scout and Jem pass near the Radley home. They routinely discover various "gifts" – chewing gum, Indian-head pennies, twine, a medal, and a pocket knife – in a knothole of a live oak tree at the edge of the Radley property. Their attempts to establish communication with the gift-giver are stymied when Nathan, Boo's older brother, cements the knothole.
When Dill returns the next summer, the trio renews its efforts to extricate Boo. The efforts are never successful and regularly result in misadventures, like the time when the three got close enough to the Radley house to be greeted by a shotgun blast from Nathan. As he is fleeing, Jem loses his pants when they catch in the fence. Later that night, Jem returns to retrieve his pants. He finds the pants neatly folded on the fence with the torn fabric sewn up. That fall, as the siblings are watching a neighbor's house burn, someone surreptitiously slips a blanket around their shoulders. They are convinced that Boo did it, and thus inform their father of their many adventures at the Radley's place. Clearly, Scout and Jem are having difficulty reconciling what they have heard about Boo with his acts of kindness.
A second story-line begins when Atticus agrees to defend Tom Robinson, a black man accused of raping a young white girl named Mayella Ewell . Some have speculated that this story line is part-autobiographical (Shields, 2006). Lee's father, a lawyer, unsuccessfully defended two black men accused of rape in 1919. Others suggest that the inspiration for Tom Robinson came from the case of Walter Lett – a black man accused of raping a white woman near Monroeville in 1934 (Bigg, 2007). When the ever-curious Scout asks her father if he is going to win the case, Atticus replies, "No . . . [but] [s]imply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win" (p.84). As a result of their father's actions, Scout and Jem endure taunts from their schoolmates and dismay from their relatives. Atticus encourages them to respond with kindness. After all, he tells them, the term "Nigger lover" means nothing – "like snot nose" (p.117). The night before the trial, Atticus goes down the county jail to protect Tom from a lynch mob led by Mr. Cunningham, whose son Walter is a friend of Scout and Jem. Scout unwittingly engages Mr. Cunningham in a conversation about his son, which shames him and results in the dispersal of the mob.
During the trial, which Scout and Jem watch with the town's black citizens from the "colored balcony," Atticus demonstrates convincingly that Tom did not rape nor harm Mayella. He offers evidence that Mayella had come on to Tom; been caught by her father – the often drunk and temperamental Robert [*337] E. Lee (Bob) Ewell; and then accused Tom to escape her shame and her father's wrath. The critical points in the trial come when Mayella admits that her father regularly assaults her; and Atticus shows that Tom could not have blackened Mayella's right eye because of his crippled left arm. But "Christian judges [cannot] make up for heathen juries" (p.228); Tom is convicted. In one of the most poignant passages of the novel, the folks in the "colored balcony" rise as one as Atticus exits the courtroom. Scout is too focused on her father to see the tribute. "Miss Jean Louise," Reverend Sykes says in a distant voice, "stand up. Your father's passin'" (p.224).
Both Scout and Jem are disillusioned and retreat into despondency. A neighbor, Miss Maudie Atkinson, attempts to console them: "[T]here are some men in this world who were born to do our unpleasant jobs for us. Your father's one of them" (pp.227-228). Scout's take is more juvenile yet equally insightful: "I know why Boo never comes out. He wants to stay inside" (p.240). Tom, tired of the white man's chances, decides to take his own; he is shot while trying to flee prison. A townsperson compares his death to the "senseless slaughter of songbirds," picking up on an earlier theme in which Scout is told that "it is a sin to kill a mockingbird [because they] don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us" (p.98).
Though Tom was convicted, Bob believes that he has been proven a liar and a fool. He confronts Atticus and spits in his face. Atticus does not respond; all he says to his family about the encounter is, "I wish [he] wouldn't chew tobacco" (p.230). Bob intimidates Tom's widow, burgles the judge's home, and attacks Scout and Jem on their way home from a Halloween pageant. That attack occurs near the Radley property. Boo intervenes, fatally stabbing Bob. To protect Boo's privacy, the sheriff insists that Bob stumbled on a tree branch and fell on his own switchblade. When the sheriff concludes his investigation, Boo wants to return home but he is scared to do so alone. Scout escorts Boo home, hand-in-hand. In the final passage, Scout, having realized Boo's humanity and goodness, embraces her father's admonition always to appreciate people's good qualities and understand their bad ones.
I have never assigned TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD in any of my courses. The novel addresses so many important themes, however, I think aspects of it could be taught in courses across a variety of disciplines, although perhaps better suited for high school than college students. The maturation of Scout and Jem could be the basis for a discussion on adolescent psychology – the growth, development, and behavior of children; children making sense of the world in which they live; and even the difficulties that children must face when thrown into adult situations. The philosopher could explore the co-existence of good and evil and theories of social justice. The novel could provide the student of American history with a better understanding of race relations and racial prejudice. A sociology class might be interested in the themes of class conflict and mob violence. "Why reasonable people go stark raving mad when anything involving a Negro comes up, is something I don't pretend to understand," Atticus confesses during [*338] the trial (p.97). A professor teaching about the American South – with its rich and culturally complex history – would do well to consider the novel as a starting point.
English teachers assign the text more often than others. The novel has rich characters – some courageous and humble; others cowardly and proud; most all conflicted. The story is enjoyable – two plots traveling along parallel tracks until converging at the conclusion – and told from the perspective of a young girl whose childhood observations of adult situations have a way of sticking with the reader. The characterization – the interplay of the story line and the interaction between and among the characters – is effective. The elements of this novel – setting, character, plot, style, and form – enable the student to begin the process of becoming a critical reader by learning that there is more to reading fiction than simply being able to tell "what happened." The novel is also full of wonderful aphorisms; the lines of the characters are memorable and worth repeating. "I never loved to read. One does not love breathing" (p.24); "A Bible in the hand of one man is worse than a whiskey bottle in the hand of another" (p.52); and "Atticus was feeble. He was nearly fifty" (p.97) are three of my favorites. And the moral of the story – the importance of looking for the good in people – echoes across generations.
As wonderful as TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is, I do not think it is an appropriate text to assign in political science courses. It is not about government; nor is it about politics. And it is most certainly not about law. While the trial of Tom Robinson is a focal point of the novel, the discussions of courtroom procedures and the law are far too simplistic for academic consideration. This is not a criticism of the book; the book was not intended for such purposes. The closest one gets to any topic worthy of discussion in a pre-law class might be the use (or misuse) of the jury system. While the jury system has been generally regarded by the public at large as a laudable instrument in the quest for justice, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD reminds the reader that the jury system has many shortcomings – most of which are amplified in cases with racial overtones. Herbert Spencer once called a jury "a group of twelve people of average ignorance." Perhaps Harper Lee had a similar thought in mind when the jury, in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, convicted Tom Robinson.
But if I were to assign the novel, I think it would be most useful in a course on civil rights and civil liberties. A section of that course, as I teach it, looks at the rights of persons, often minorities, who have been accused of crimes. Classroom dialogue is improved when students are familiar with the history of racial prejudice – in the public squares and in the courtrooms – in the United States. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is at the intersection of civil rights and civil liberties. I know that Tom Robinson is a character in a depression-era novel. But hundreds of real black men – from the Scottsboro Boys to Ed Brown to Emmitt Till to James Chaney – suffered real injustice at the hands of an all-white jury or in the hands of an angry white mob. Tom Robinson is as real to me as those persons. [*339]

Saying 'God Bless You' Is a 'Microaggression,' College Says
CP Current Page: U.S. | Sunday, March 18, 2018 | Coronavirus →
By Anugrah Kumar, Christian Post Contributor Follow | Sunday, March 18, 2018
American college students in this undated file photo. | (Photo: Reuters)
A college in Boston has prepared an "Anti-Oppression Library Guide" so that no one is offended on campus. It lists "saying 'God bless you' after someone sneezes" as a "microaggression" against Muslim people, and "Merry Christmas" as an offensive phrase.
The guide, prepared by college librarians at Simmons College, "is intended to provide some general information about anti-oppression, diversity, and inclusion as well as information and resources for the social justice issues key to the Simmons College community."
It states that "Islamomisic Microaggressions are commonplace verbal or behavioral indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, which communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative slights and insults in relation to the beliefs and religious practices of Muslims."
And then it explains why saying "God bless you" should be discouraged. "Comments or behaviors that convey people's presumption that their religion is the standard and behaves accordingly (e.g., greeting someone 'Merry Christmas' or saying 'God bless you' after someone sneezes conveys one's perception that everyone is Christian or believes in God)."
The guide avoids using the suffix "phobia," because that too can be "offensive" those suffering from a phobia as a mental health disorder.
"Since labeling oppression with 'phobia' suffixes is harmful, many folks are exchanging them for 'misia' suffixes instead. Misia (pronounced 'miz-eeya') comes from the Greek word for hate or hatred, so similar to how Islamophobia means "fear of Islam,' the more accurate Islamomisia means 'hatred of Islam.'"
The National Review was the first to report on the guide, and its author Katherine Timpf remarked, "If anything, 'God bless you' could perhaps be said to be offensive to people who don't believe in a God of any kind, but honestly I don't think that's true, either. Why? Because I don't think it assumes anything; it's just a phrase. I don't think people actually think about it; it's just something that we grow up hearing and so start saying ourselves. It's really more of a reflex than a declaration of faith. Personally, I'm not religious, but I'd never for a second think to be offended at someone telling me 'God bless you' after I'd sneezed. In fact, I'm even brave enough to admit that I myself have said 'God bless you' before, and never thought for a second that I could possibly be doing anything offensive. It just doesn't seem like a big deal."
Oppression, the guide says, "is more than the prejudicial thoughts and actions of individuals, oppression is institutionalized power that is historically formed and perpetuated over time."
It continues, "Through the use of that institutionalized power, it allows certain groups of people or certain identities to assume a dominant (privileged) position over other groups and identities and this dominance is maintained and continued at institutional and cultural levels. This means oppression is built into institutions like government and education systems. For example, think of ways that heterosexism is privileged by and built into laws around marriage, property ownership, and raising/adopting children."

Iran, world powers reach initial deal on reining in Tehran's nuclear program
Netanyahu says expected Iranian nuclear deal worse than feared
A crowd of well-wishers hailed Iranian negotiators Friday as they returned to Tehran after agreeing the framework of a potentially historic nuclear deal with world powers, Iranian news agencies reported.
Several dozen people greeted Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and his team as they left Tehran's Mehrabad airport after returning from the negotiations in Lausanne, the ISNA news agency reported.
"Viva Zarif! Viva Araghchi!" the crowd chanted, in reference to the minister and one of the main negotiators, Abbas Araghchi.
In brief remarks at the airport, Zarif praised Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for "his remarkable support for the negotiating team and his guidance" in the talks, the official IRNA news agency reported.
Reaching out to Iranian hardliners who have opposed any deal that would curb Tehran's nuclear activities, Zarif said work remained to finalise the agreement before a June 30 deadline.
"This set of solutions will be the basis for writing a final document," he said in the airport.
"In negotiations, it is not supposed to be one side taking all the advantages and the other side surrendering," Zarif said.
"We are proud because we will never surrender... but in return for the advantages that we gain, we will give things in return so we can move on," he said.
"We have serious goals in the negotiations and eventually, based on what we have achieved so far, we believe we can reach them," he added.
Residents lined the streets as Zarif drove away from the airport, some carrying Iranian flags, with the minister emerging from the sunroof of his car and waving to the crowd.
Ali Akbar Salehi, who led the technical negotiations in Lausanne, said the outline agreement was a major step forward.
"We will move on," Salehi said on arrival in Tehran. "We are on the launching pad -- in international relations, technology, trade and the economy."
In the wake of Thursday's agreement, several conservative websites published comments from Mehdi Mohammadi, a political analyst, describing the deal as "in no way balanced".
He said the agreement was a "disaster for Fordo", referring to a nuclear facility that will remain open but not used for enrichment.
He also said the deal was "vague on the timing of sanctions relief".
Saeidollah Allahbedashti, an aide to President Hassan Rouhani, denounced claims that he said were undermining the achievements of negotiators.
"The public has proven it can understand the difference between traitors and those who serve" their country, he said at the airport.

New law draft for transparancy in land selling
Edited By Odishatv Bureau Published By Odishatv Bureau On Nov 11, 2011 - 6:35 PM
New Delhi: Registration of builders, adherence to approved plans and refund of money in cases of default will become mandatory under a new law that the Government plans to bring in to usher in "accountability and transparency" in land selling and housing transactions.
A Real Estate Regulatory Authority will also be established under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Bill, 2011, whose draft was made public today by Union Minister for Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation Kumari Selja here.
The long-pending legislation that seeks to protect home-buyers from fly-by-night developers is likely to be sent to the Union Cabinet for its approval during the Winter Session of Parliament.
Once the law comes into force, no promoter or builder will be able to develop any immovable property without registering the real estate project and obtaining a registration certificate from the proposed authority.
"The Government of India has been planning such a legislation for a very long time and real estate sector and others have approached me on a number of occasions on such kind of a law. The aim is to intervene and ensure transparency and accountability on part of the promoter to the consumer," Selja told a press conference here.
The major aim of such a legislation, the Minister said, was to regulate the activities of the real estate sector and usher in an era of "accountability and transparency" in land selling and housing transactions.
The Minister has also written a letter to Chief Ministers enclosing a copy of the draft bill seeking their views on the legislation.
Asked about the possibility of criticism from the sector of the proposed Bill, Selja said: "I do not wish to convey that I have a rigid stand on the issue. We will talk to everyone whoever wishes to and strike a balance."
The proposed law also has a provision asking the promoter to compulsorily deposit a portion of funds received from the allottees in a separate bank account, to be used for that project only.
Once the promoter registers his project, the firm will be asked to open an online account through which all the necessary documents will have to be sent to the authority, which will further verify them.
The authority will have a chairperson and not less than two members having adequate knowledge and experience of the sector. It will also have the powers to impose penalty on erring promoters and to direct them to refund the money that they have charged from the consumer.
Selja said "much of the apprehensions" of the real estate and other sectors would be met in the legislation and expressed her desire to listen to suggestions. "We are open to suggestions. In fact, I will be holding a meeting with real estate sector, private sector and other stakeholders on this issue," the Minister said.
The legislation also proposes establishment of a `Real Estate Appellate Tribunal` to hear appeals from the Authority`s orders and to adjudicate on disputes. "The tribunal will be headed by a sitting to retired judge of Supreme Court of Chief Justice of High Court with 4 judicial and at-least 4 administrative/technical members," she said.
A Central Advisory Council will also be established to advise the Centre on matters concerning implementation of the Act. Selja also said both Centre and States will have powers to make rules over subjects specified in the Bill, and the Regulatory Authority to have powers to make regulations.
Noting that poor have very little access to credit as financial institutions are "very reluctant" to encourage them, Selja said the Credit risk Guarantee Fund announced by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee during his budget speech this year would go a long way in addressing their concerns.
Under the scheme, she said, the Government will provide credit guarantee support to collateral-free/third-party- guarantee-free housing loans up to Rs 5 lakh extended by lending institutions for low income housing.
"The CGFS will cover the housing loans to EWS/LIG borrowers for the purposes of repairs, home improvement, construction, acquisition, and purchase of new or second-hand dwelling units, involving an amount not exceeding Rs 5 lakh per loan," she said.
Selja said Rs 1000 crores has been earmarked as an initial corpus for CGFS.

Finnish firm Konecranes has been awarded a new order to deliver a second portal jib crane to the US Navy.
The navy placed the $43.5m order by exercising an option under a deal initially announced in December 2019.
As agreed, Konecranes will deliver a portal jib crane similar to the one ordered two years ago.
The crane will be tailored to the historical shipyard layouts of the US Navy and installed at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard.
It will be equipped with the necessary features to operate on the multiple rail section sizes located at the naval base.
Additionally, the crane can be used in other naval shipyards with similar configurations.
Previously, the US Navy ordered a 175t crane for Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.
Konecranes Industrial Equipment vice-president Steven Waisanen said: "The additional order is a confirmation of the navy's ongoing commitment to upgrade its facilities and its confidence in Konecranes to meet their current and future needs with unique products tailored to meet the navy's rigorous requirements."
As per the 2019 agreement, the US Navy can order five additional portal jib cranes. If all options are exercised, the overall agreement may value at around $300m.
The Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard was originally established in 1908 as a naval station on the Hawaiian island of Oahu.
Currently, it offers longer-term repair, maintenance and modernisation works for the US Pacific Fleet.
Konecranes focuses on manufacturing cranes and lifting equipment for different industry verticals.
Last year, the group's total sales amounted to €3.2bn. It has a workforce of around 16,600 people in 50 countries.

Q: What diagramming techniques (not tools) do you use during your programming? What diagramming technique(s) do you use while programming to help you
or others understand your program or design. I am not talking about a person's
favorite tool, though a good tool probable helps a person greatly with
diagramming.
My intent in this question is to find the simple useful diagramming techniques
people actually use and find new ones to learn.
Do you use flow-charts, Data Flow Diagrams, ER diagrams, etc?
The web is full of recommendations! But what do real programmers, designers,
and code maintainers actually use in their day to day work.
Thanks for your feedback

A: I use a whiteboard for modeling, so I guess "whiteboard modeling language" would be my answer.

A: I will do a UML Class diagram for anything i'm designing that is bigger than a couple of classes. Drawing a class diagram makes me take time out to think over the design instead of ploughing straight into the code and always produces a better result.
For bigger and more complicated architectures I find that Sequence diagrams are a good way to communicate behviour, especially for multi-threaded systems.

A: I use diagrams as a way to quickly understand legacy code. It takes some work to create the diagram, but it always pays of in the end.
Normally I use class diagrams to get the big picture. Sometimes sequence diagrams and even dataflow diagram if a piece o code is extremely hard to understand.
In the design phase I use class diagrams, and often state diagrams. State diagrams are perfect if a class behaviour differs with its state.

A: I use Sequence Diagrams a lot (drawn on paper). I find they give me a nice visual representation the logical flow of method calls and information between various systems and components in our applications.

A: *

*Very High Level Discussion - Context Diagrams where the boxes might represent classes, packages, or sub-systems.

*High Level Design - Sequence diagrams which show the interface between sub-systems, still no classes directly used but may be implied from this.

*Detailed Design - Sequence diagrams which are at the class level.

If there is a tricky algorithm for something such as the correlation of multiple data streams into a new stream then I will generally use a Flow Chart to work out the algorithm.
If the solution requires knowledge of state then a State diagram is also used.
Those are the ones I use most.
When doing Data Warehouse design I draw Star Schemas to work out how to store the data.  When doing Transactional DB design I use Entity Relationship diagrams to work our data storage.
When designing a UI I just sketch it out.  Once I start to get some parts of the UI worked out and want to play with some areas I will make a template, print out a copy copies and then use that as a guide to work on sub-sections.  For colour schemes, it can be handy to make a graphic using the gimp and have layers for each piece of the design and then play with the layers colouring each one to find the right balance.

A: What do we really use?  Maybe other people actually create formal diagrams, but for the most part I just scribble bubbles, boxes and lines on a sheet of paper.

A: I have a Flow chart of the main product I work with and develop.
My team also often uses UML diagram sketches on white-boards while designing new parts for us to implement. They're very useful in creating design patterns and modeling the high-level structure of the classes which will be needed. These are never full blown UML though...

A: Whiteboard for discussions.
Pen and paper for less temporary record.
Code stubs for 'Things to impelement'.
Tested and Working code (with extensive comments) for posterity.

A: I use ER and class diagrams on paper and whiteboard for any project that's bigger than a shell script.
Flow charts, only when I need to explain a process to a non-programmer (or if it's a really complicated process and I need to understand it first).
My old boss used to say "the guy just loves drawing stuff."

A: I draw bastardized versions of UML class, object and sequence diagrams. While I try to be true to the syntax, I am much more concerned about expressing the main idea behind particular feature. So, I'll draw up something, ask a colleague to take a look, and if it seems clear enough, we might even scan it and post it in our Wiki.
Then, when it so happens that we actually get some time to work on the documentation (and that is almost never), I'll use BOUML and redraw the scribbles into a proper diagram.
Now, to put is all in context, I'm working at a relatively small team (5 developers), making trading and product configuration platforms in Java. We have our two products that we then additionally customize to customer's requests. Being a close-knit community, with low (zero) turnaround for a few years, we use the documentation primarily as a remainder to ourselves. And in this setup, the above approach works quite well.

A: I work in an AJAX development environment, and most of the backend code I write works like a pipe between a relational database and the frontend javascript (user interface). So, the most used 'diagram' per say that I use are JSON objects to describe how data should be passed back and forth between the database and the interface. They are simple, universal and easy to understand data structures.
Example:

{
      "id": row['id'],
              "name": row['name'],
              "mandatory": row['mandatory'],
              "rangeDescription": "This is the Range",
              "globalRate": row['global']
          }

A: I like Data Flow Diagrams. A lot.

A: I use whatever is needed for communicatation. Usually that's nothing at all. Sometimes it's a whiteboard.
From time to time, I use Sparx Enterprise Architect, which is a UML modeling tool, though it produces decent diagams while it's at it. I've used it for requirements, use case, activity, sequence, domain, and even class modeling, and sometimes some reverse-engineered ER diagrams. Whatever it takes to get the point across.

There continues to be some confusion in NSW with regard to workers insurance renewals being issued by icare.
New South Wales' workplace health and safety regulator offers advice on improving work health and safety, provides licences and registration for potentially dangerous work, investigates workplace incidents and enforces work health and safety laws in NSW.
The State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA) regulates motor accidents, CTP, and workers compensation insurance, as well as the home building compensation fund in NSW.
icare (Insurance & Care NSW) delivers insurance and care services to the people of New South Wales, under the NSW Workers Compensation Scheme. Whether a person is severely injured in the workplace or on our roads, icare supports their long-term care needs to improve quality of life outcomes, including helping people return to work.
It is icare that has been issuing workers insurance renewals but many people are unfamiliar with the name and the logo and may be unsure the documentation is genuine.
For more information about icare, go to https://workersinsurance.icare.nsw.gov.au/about/who-we-are#gref.
Don't hesitate to contact us at WCRS if you need any clarification about your workers insurance renewal.


My ginger scallion sauce is made with hot oil. Other methods exist across the web, but this technique intrigued me so I pursued it. I understand if it makes you a little nervous—if you haven't made something before, it can seem daunting. But I swear it's oh so easy, and you'll be so stoked to pour the herbalicious sauce on almost anything.
How easy is it? Well, all you've got to do is heat some oil on the stove, chop up the scallions, ginger, and garlic while the oil is heating, and then pour the hot oil over everything. Done and done!
Now, the only caveat is that you should use a larger jar/bowl to pour the hot oil into. Why? As you can see in the picture below, the oil bubbles up when it hits the ingredients. I only used a smaller (pint-size) jar because it looks demonstrably better for pictures! I've also made this sauce a number of times and knew how much bubbling to expect/how slowly to pour the oil to control the bubbling. I don't want you to end up with a big hot oil mess, so err on the safe side and use a larger bowl!
Speaking of the pictures… I'm proud of them for a number of reasons. Pour shots are awesome and I'm really happy I was able to capture a shot of the oil bubbling up around the ginger and scallion mixture! The ingredients also look vibrant and sharp. But if I could change something, it would have been my light setup. The light was coming in from the right, and I used a white foam board on the left. I should have gone with a black foam board to bounce more shadow on the left side.
Of course, these pictures are still worth sharing, but as I put more effort into my growth as a photographer I think it's important to critique my own work. I guess I don't exactly have to do that in a public setting, but maybe it will be beneficial for you too!
Spoon some sauce on crispy cast iron chicken thighs just before serving.
Top some pork chops off with a punch of flavor.
With baked sweet potatoes? Game changer!
Drizzle on roasted asparagus or broccoli.
Use it as a quick dressing for a hearty kale salad.
To sum up, you can use this condiment in many ways! It's the perfect vehicle for adding a dose of flavor to your life.
Combine the ginger, garlic, scallions, dried chile, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, and salt in a heat-proof container. Use a larger container than you think – since you're pouring hot oil over everything it will bubble up.
Heat the oil in a saucepan on medium-low. Once the oil is hot and has started gently steaming (about 5-10 minutes), pour it over the ginger and scallion mixture. It will bubble up and crackle but quickly subside. Let cool and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Drizzle on chicken, pork, vegetables or whatever your heart desires!
Tip for chopping up ginger: slice it into quarter-thin rounds, stack a few rounds and slice into thin strips, then turn 90 degrees and mince.
I absolutely love the flavor of ginger and scallions together and can't wait to pour this sauce on EVERYTHING!

By your words I can see where I'm going; they throw a beam of light on my dark path. I've committed myself and I'll never turn back from living by your righteous order. Everything's falling apart on me, God; put me together again with your Word. Festoon me with your finest sayings, God; teach me your holy rules. My life is as close as my own hands, but I don't forget what you have revealed. The wicked do their best to throw me off track, but I don't swerve an inch from your course. I inherited your book on living; it's mine forever— what a gift! And how happy it makes me! I concentrate on doing exactly what you say— I always have and always will.
My soul is continually in my hand, yet I do not forget Your law.
My life is always at risk, but I do not forget your law.
My life is always in danger, but I haven't forgotten your teachings.
My life is in continual danger, but I do not forget your law.
I keep putting my life in danger. But I won't forget to obey your law.
Though I constantly take my life in my hands, I will not forget your law.
My life is always in my hand, yet I do not forget Your Law.
My life constantly hangs in the balance, but I will not stop obeying your instructions.
My nefesh is continually in my yad: yet do I not forget Thy torah.
Even though my life hangs in the balance, I'll keep following what you've taught me, no matter what.
I hold my life in my hand continually, but I do not forget thy law.
My soul is continually in danger, yet I have not forgotten Your Torah.
My soul is continually in danger, but I do not forget Your teachings.
My soul is continually in my hand, yet I won't forget your law.
My soul is ever[more] in mine hands; and I forgat not thy law. (My life is in my hands forevermore/My life is always in my hands; yet I never forget thy Law.)
My soul [is] in my hand continually, And Thy law I have not forgotten.

What is their Career Peak? – Renee Zellweger
Career Peak – The point in an actor, actress or director's career when they have given their best performance, reaching a point they will probably never match again!
The idea is to examine a person's film or television career and decide when their career peak was; the moment that they gave their best performance or produced their best work. This could be with their first movie; it could also be yet to come.
Renee Zellweger has had one of those rare careers where she is well-known but has only seemed to have one stellar role. She seems to have broken Hollywood with one key character and then stayed around the industry, surviving with key supportive roles. It is very telling that after what feels like a long time away from the spotlight, Zellweger is returning to the central role which made her famous for a third time.
Rene Zellweger – Career Peak: Bridget Jones' Diary
This seems too obvious but unfortunately, when examining the career of Renee Zellweger, there isn't much that stands out and shows her acting potential. After a lot of supporting roles early in her career, including movie-star time capsule Dazed and Confused, Zellweger seemed to jump to prominence in Jerry Maguire.
This role will always prove memorable for Zellweger because of that scene and that line. It is hardly her greatest performance though and it would be hard to shine in a Tom Cruise vehicle.
It is difficult to be the star alongside Jim Carrey
This would be the same problem for her next biggest role, starring alongside Jim Carrey in Me, Myself and Irene. Again, she wasn't much more than a love interest in this role and it is difficult to steal a spotlight from biggest comedy star at the time.
It wouldn't take long for her to get her own starring role which would show her comedy skills properly and Zellweger does shine in Bridget Jones' Diary. She shows that she can be likable, funny and appealing, all while doing a perfect English accent. It is a star-making role and one that she would use to catapult herself into other films, although none quite as successful as Bridget Jones.
Is Cold Mountain a memorable role?
Chicago would see her showcase her ability in a musical, Down with Love would be a poor period romantic comedy while Cold Mountain would be a classic Oscar win for a forgettable film and a role which many would forget. It made perfect sense that the actress returned to the role which made her famous.
Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason wouldn't compare to the original though and many saw it as a cheap rehash of the old, popular jokes from the first movie. It would also see a return to Zellweger back to supporting roles to bigger stars, from Russell Crowe in Cinderella Man or George Clooney in Leatherheads. Whenever Zellweger would take the lead, the movies were forgettable, simple comedies, such as New in Town or My One and Only.
Back to supporting roles
That is why, unsurprisingly, Zellweger is returning to Bridget Jones again. The trailer for the film shows a different kind of story for the character but you can't help but feel like it a step backwards for an actress which has shown great potential but never seemed to get herself the huge starring role which other actresses used to launch an ultra-successful career.
Overall, Renee Zellweger's return to Bridget Jones is very apt considering her first movie in this role is her career peak. She has never been as successful in the starring role, always seeming to support in bigger movies, to bigger stars or lead movies which don't resonate or are just simply forgotten.
An unsurprising return to her most successful role

Still waiting for her to do another Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequel. 🙂
I hadn't noticed that on her CV when I was doing the research. I bet if you look at a lot of movie stars careers there are plenty of hidden gems like that in there.
Fangoria used to have a fun feature based on that called Skeletons in the Closet. A ton of mainstream stars have cheap horror buried in the backyard.
I think Zellweger's and McConaughey's agents actively tried to block Chainsaw IV. It was such a disaster of a movie that I find it endlessly fascinating.

California man arrested in death of Army veteran found in trunk of car in Anaheim Hills
Silva was also arrested on suspicion of kidnapping after police found another man held hostage in his apartment
By Jeong Park, The Orange County Register | Published Nov 21, 2019 3:52 PM
A Santa Ana man has been arrested in the alleged murder of an Army veteran, Adrian Darren Bonar, whose body was found in October in the trunk of a deserted Lexus in Anaheim Hills.
Police officers arrested Antonio Silva on Monday, Nov. 18 in his home in the 2500 block of North Bristol Street in Santa Ana. Police arrested Silva on suspicion of kidnapping as well after finding and rescuing an adult male hostage in the home, department spokesman Sgt. Daron Wyatt said Wednesday.
Officials didn't disclose how detectives zeroed in on Silva or more information about the hostage. The kidnapping victim was held captive for at least a couple of days and was released from the hospital on Tuesday.
Police don't believe Silva has ties to a gang or a drug cartel, Sgt. Shane Carringer said, although more than four pounds of fentanyl, two handguns and two rifles also were found in the home.
On Oct. 17, CHP officers found the body of Bonar, 34, of Escondido, in a tarp in the trunk of a Lexus. The sedan had been left deserted for about two days in a dirt lot near the interchange of the 91 Freeway and the State Route 241 in Anaheim Hills, Wyatt said.
Bonar, the son of a Scottish restaurateur Brian Bonar, grew up in Escondido. He was honorably discharged after serving in the Army during the Iraq War.
Officials were mum on what led to the crimes or if Silva has any ties to Bonar or the hostage.
"Regardless of what Adrian may have been involved in, he's the victim of this crime," Anaheim Police Chief Jorge Cisneros said. "No one deserves to die in this fashion."
Officials said they are still investigating the case. If anyone has more information, they can call Anaheim police at 714-321-3669, Cisneros said.

I will continue to record my income and expenses for 2015, but I don't intend on setting a goal for a specific saving % or an amount for keeping expenses below. I noticed that in 2014 my goals were effective in keeping my costs down, but they also influenced me not to spend money on certain things. That might sound good, but it impacted everything, including charitable donations and personal development, which are usually really important to me.
The first two expenses are fixed amounts. 'Mortgage/House Bills' is an account where Lou and I pay into each month (£490 each) to cover mortgage payments, council tax, water, TV licence, telephone, electricity, and broadband. 'Food Account' is another joint account we use to contribute a fixed amount (£70 per month) for food shopping.
June's wage was above average for me. My average wage between Jan-Jun was £1,848 per month. It was my second highest of the year. My income was supported further by my Dividends and Kindle Income.
I hit an all time high on dividend payments in May with £339.89, and my annual average has received a much needed boost from receiving £224.94 in June. My monthly average now sits at £163.11.
Kindle sales were fantastic in June. I hit an all time high of approx £741 (My ACX payments were lower than anticipated). This 'unconfirmed' total now put's my entire Kindle income to £1,527.94 for the year. An average of £254.66 per month for the 6 month payments.
I received £243.01 in my account for the sales I made in April, which is still great. This is my forth month of payments from Kindle, and I'm close to my average payment from Dividends now. This is likely to be the last month that my Kindle income is below Dividends for a long time.
I'm hoping that Kindle and Dividends payments are going to provide more than enough money to cover my expenses in time to come. I have a goal to increase the Kindle Income to £1,000 per month by December, which I'm now very confident of reaching. My new 'unofficial goal' is to bring in enough income from Kindle to cover my income from my current employer. I'm not sure if I'll achieve this goal but I'll give it a bloody good go!
May produced the most income I've received outside of my salary – £448.77. June has now taken that crown, and moved my best non-wage income to £485.77. This total is over half of my monthly expenses. I can't tell you how pleased I am with this result!
I recently handed in my notice at work to pursue Kindle Publishing full time. I'll be working part time in August with my current employer (3 days a week) and then down to 2 days a week in September. I might continue working for them into October if required. I'm not sure how long I'll be employed there, but I want to make sure I'm making more than enough outside of my wage to cover my expenses and investments. I mentioned this earlier, but it's important for me to bring in the same amount of money as I currently do full time, but solely with Kindle. This will prove to myself more than anything that I made the right move, and after that period the sky's the limit.
Now that I've proven to myself that it's possible to live on less than £10,000 a year, I feel like I can challenge myself in other areas. This doesn't mean that I'm going to go on a mass spending spree, but I'm not going to decline Personal Development opportunities to keep my expenses below a set figure this year.
June was a fairly low month for me overall. I might need to continue these low spending months over the next few months whilst I transition to working for myself.
My only major one off was Car Insurance for Lou's car. We agreed that as we have a joint ownership of the car, we would both split the major car bills.
The other notable entry which was unintentionally low was fathers day. I planned to get my dad a voucher for his favourite cycle shop. I drove to the shop on Fathers day to buy the vouchers en-route to seeing dad, only to find out that the shop is closed on a Sunday. I did explain to my dad, and he was fine…… so he says…… but I couldn't help but feel like I was using one of those 'my dog ate my homework' type of excuses. I told him what the gift was to establish credibility, whilst jointly ruining the surprise for him – Well it is Fathers Day! I said I would buy it him next time I drive through. You'll find another Fathers Day category in July's expenses for this.
Other than that, there wasn't a lot else to report on expenses.
I don't have an expense goal for 2015, but I receive a lot of questions about my expenses, perhaps more than most other things I write about. I thought I would keep tracking them as people are interested, as am I. Whilst I was tracking the average for that, I thought it would be worth doing the same thing for Income, as it's an important goal for me this year.
My average spend at the end of May was £919.68. After a more modest June, my average expenses came down to £888.78.
My income average was at £2,050.11 at the end of last month. It's now up to £2,130.28.
I managed to save/invest £1,826.02 in June which was 72.1% of my income. My saving percentage for 2015 is currently 68.5%. I think this figure represents a solid average for me at the moment. In the next few months, my dividend and Kindle income should increase this figure above the 70% mark on a more regular basis up until the point I leave my job and where I'll have to build it up again.
Thank you all once again for your continued support. It means a lot!
Fantastic progress, Huw. You're really shifting along well. I am sure you're really feeling the effect of reducing your expenses sharply.
Unfortunately, for me this month (July) is going to be a bit of an expenses hit (for several reasons). Nonetheless, I should still have an annual average of less than £800 a month which is fantastic.
It really put you in such a strong position. Allows you to invest more (so increasingly future income) whilst also requiring less to live on.
My dividend income was much stronger than mine over June and July. I can't wait to see your September/October figure. With so many companies releasing dividends at that time it should be an impressive total indeed!
Yet another impressive month when it comes to savings rate. You're doing great Huw. Keep up the great work.
Another great update, Huw. Fantastic to see that your Kindle income is already close to your average dividend payment – the snowball gets bigger and bigger with both! Am loving the projections for your Kindle income – it will be amazing when you log those numbers as 'actual income' – wow!
Well done on an awesome savings rate!
With so much on the go, it's fantastic that you have maintained your focus in keeping your costs down and saving/investing so much, but of course, let's not forget Miss FFB40 as she is obviously doing her bit to keep costs down!
June and July have been solid overall. The next few months should also be quite good. My forward dividends over Aug, Sep and Oct are approx £530 in total.
Thanks for the kind words, and keep on the good work yourself!
Thank you Tawcan. I really appreciate it!
Thanks for the kind words. Yes, the projections are great 'n' all, but it's all about what lands in your back pocket overall that counts.
I'm surprised with my expenses so far, I thought they would be higher now I don't have a goal, but they're in a great position currently. Lou has helped tremendously in all of this, and she continues to drive the Frugal Wagon with food, bills etc.

Priyanshu Painyuli joins the cast of Mirzapur season 2- Cinema express
Priyanshu Painyuli joins the cast of Mirzapur season 2
His character will also be a part of the third season of the Amazon Original show
CE Features
Actor Priyanshu Painyuli shot for an extensive schedule of Mirzapur Season 2 and will be playing a pivotal part in this instalment. Priyanshu was recently seen in the Netflix original film Extraction, where he played a Bangaleshi thug. He has also appeared in films like Upstarts and Bhavesh Joshi Superhero.
A source informs, "Given the interest around Mirzapur, the team keeps a strict diktat of not letting character details out because it's important to the show's narrative. But Priyanshu will be a part of Mirzapur this season. It's an elaborate character that spills over to Season 3 as well."
An Amazon Prime show, Mirzapur follows the story of two brothers Guddu (Ali Fazal) and Bablu (Vikrant Massey), who get caught up in a world of drugs, guns and violence after they meet Munna (Divyendu Sharma), the son of Mafia boss Akhandanand Tripathi (Pankaj Tripathi).
The source adds, "The first season ended with the death of many old characters. So the new season inevitably widens its horizons and explores more tracks and subtracts of the larger narrative. Priyanshu shot for the show last August in Benaras. It's a cracker of an ensemble cast and the actor can't wait to speak about it once the final announcement on Season 2 comes in from Amazon."

Q: What the meaning of lazy-load when calling the perl find() function for mongoDB? I use perl script as a client to query mongoDB databases.my code is as below:
my $some_users = $users->find({"name" => "Joe"});
 while (my $doc = $all_users->next) {
        print $doc->{'name'}."\n";
    }

cpan tutorial says:
find returns a MongoDB::Cursor, which can be iterated over. It lazily loads results from the database.

And  yes, after my careful observation,I find that it takes a very short time when calling the find() , instead, the iteration of MongoDB::Cursor will take a long time if the find() function returns many data.So ,I becomes very confused,what does it mean by lazy load?Lazy load means "do nothing" ?lazy load means cheating?

A: Lazy load means returning an iterator instead of whole data.
So in your loop :
This does not return and store full data in $some_users, only a reference/iterator to the data matching the query.
    my $some_users = $users->find({"name" => "Joe"});

Now you can iterate over that data using the iterator, the records are fetched by the Perl Mongodb driver in the loop, it may fetch them one by one, or prefetch a batch of say 1000 records,and then refetch after 1000, that depends on the driver implementation.
     while (my $doc = $all_users->next) {
            print $doc->{'name'}."\n";
        }
