工学研究科・バイオ工学専攻
A zinc-resistant bacterium, Brevibacterium sp. strain HZM-1 which shows a high Zn2+-adsorbing capacity, was isolated from the soil of an abandoned zinc mine. Kinetic analyses showed that Zn2+ binding to HZM-1 cells follows Langmuir isotherm kinetics with a maximum metal capacity of 0.64 mmol/g dry cells and an apparent metal dissociation constant of 0.34 mM. The observed metal-binding capacity was one of the highest values among those reported for known microbial Zn2+ biosorbents. The cells could also adsorb heavy metal ions such as Cu2+. HZM-1 cells could remove relatively low levels of the Zn2+ ion (0.1 mM), even in the presence of large excess amounts (total concentration, 10 mM) of alkali and alkali earth metal ions. Bound Zn2+ ions could be efficiently desorbed by treating the cells with 10 mM HCl or 10 mM EDTA, and the Zn2+-adsorbing capacity of the cells was fully restored by treatment of the desorbed cells with 0.1 M NaOH. Thus, HZM-1 cells can serve as an excellent biosorbent for removal of Zn2+ from natural environments. The cells could grow in the presence of significant concentrations of ZnCl2 (at least up to 15 mM) and thus is potentially applicable to in situ bioremediation of Zn2+-contaminated aqueous systems.

Return to Traditions, Golf Govs set for Bearcat Invitational
APSU Men's Golf
Clarksville, TN – Coming off its season's best finish, Austin Peay State University men's golf team will look to carry its momentum into the Bearcat Invitational, played at the 7,100-yard Traditions Golf Course in Hebron, KY.
Eastern Kentucky and Morehead State are the other two Ohio Valley Conference teams in the 17-team field, which also includes host Cincinnati, Ball State, Ohio, Western Kentucky, Oakland and Belmont.
The Govs, most recently, finished third at the rain-shortened Telich/Sunlife Financial. Played at the difficult Canterbury Golf Club, that tournament was an excellent set-up for a Tradition's course on which the Govs have performed well on in the past. In fact, last season, the Govs finished ninth overall led by then-senior Erik Barnes, who finished fourth.

Historic course at Telich Sun Life Financial/CSU Invite next for Golf Govs
Clarksville, TN – Austin Peay State University men's golf team returns to action at the historic Canterbury Golf Club for the Telich Sun Life Financial/CSU Invitational, in Beachwood, Ohio.
Wright State, ranked No. 67 by Golfweek, highlights the 15-team field, along with Northern Illinois (102), the Govs (128), Oakland (129), Loyola (137) and host Cleveland State (147) round out the top-150 teams. Also in the field is Appalachian State, Cincinnati, IPFW, Malone, North Dakota State, Ohio Wesleyan, Robert Morris, St. Francis, and Youngstown State.
Canterbury is a par-71, 7,012-yard championship course that has played host to all five major golf championships; the PGA Championship, the Senior PGA Championship, the U.S. Open, the Senior U.S. Open and the U.S. Amateur. Most recently, Canterbury hosted the 2009 Senior PGA Championship. «Read the rest of this article»
Sherrod tops OVC field at Louisville, named Athlete of the Week
Copies in a Flash APSU Athlete of the Week
Clarksville, TN – Senior Luke Sherrod, of the Austin Peay State University men's golf team, tallied a 15th-place finish at the Cardinal Intercollegiate, last Tuesday, and has been named the Copies in a Flash Athlete of the Week.
Against a difficult field at the Louisville tournament, Sherrod improved in position each round before closing the tournament with the Govs only under-par round. That final-round 70 allowed him to finish at one-over par for the event.
Out of the four participating Ohio Valley Conference teams, Sherrod was the top performer in the event and named the OVC Golfer of the Week.
Thus far, Sherrod has been the Govs top performer. He was one of two Govs to finish under par at the Marshall Invitational and, last week he overcame a windy day on a tough course to complete his climb. «Read the rest of this article»
Sherrod named OVC Golfer of the Week
Clarksville, TN – Senior Luke Sherrod, of the Austin Peay State University men's golf team, was named Ohio Valley Conference Golfer of the Week, the league announced Wednesday.
Sherrod tallied a 15th-place finish at the Cardinal Intercollegiate, to lead all OVC golfers at the event. Most importantly, the Knoxville native improved in each round, wrapping up the tournament with final-round 70 for a three-round, one-over par 217.
"It's good to see him turning it around," head coach Kirk Kayden said. "Luke had a tough junior year and he told me at the beginning of the season that he was determined to have a good senior year."
Thus far, Sherrod has been the Govs top performer. At the Marshall Invitational, last week, he was one of two Govs to finish under par, but had to settle for 23rd overall. This week at Louisville's Cardinal Club, Sherrod overcame a windy day on a tough course to complete his climb.
"One-over at the Cardinal Club is a good score," Kayden said. "The nice thing about the final round was it was the windiest day, the conditions were the most difficult of the three rounds. The wind was up to 15-20 miles-per-hour. The pins were tucked on every hole and Luke still managed to make some birdies and play really well."
Bradley leads Golf Govs at Marshall Invite
Huntington, W. VA – Freshman Anthony Bradley finished eighth to lead Austin Peay State University men's golf team in an eighth-place finish at the Marshall Invitational.
The event boasted a strong field, evident in Ohio State's 32-under par, first-place 820 aggregate. Xavier followed with an 827, while Virginia Tech improved four spots to finish third (838). Wright State (844) and Richmond (845) rounded out the top five. The Govs' one-over par 853 was five shots behind Ohio Valley Conference member Eastern Kentucky's seventh-place 848.
Bradley was the only Govs golfer to finish inside the top 10 after firing three straight under-par rounds (70-69-68) to finish at six-under par. That left him 10 strokes off the pace of Xavier's Sebastian MacLean, who won the tournament with a 16-under 197.

I'll start with the slightly bad and head toward the worse. I went to the final match-up between the Pens and Caps on Wed. night. The Pens had won the first 3 games of the series in pretty dominating fashion, despite the scores. I was excited for the 4th game to be much of the same and we would have a nice sweep of the season series. The game started off well, with the Pens scoring only a minute or so into the game. But then things started to turn. The goaltending by Caron was awful. He did make some good stops, but his bad (or non-existent) stops were worse than awful. He let a puck go in the net that was shot from 150 ft. away with no one in front of him.
I was very sad that this would be the way my last Pens game of the season would end. It was also the last time that I got to see Recchi in a Pens uniform (for the second time) since he was traded to Carolina on Thursday. Luckily this is not the last time that I will see the Penguins as the PITTSBURGH Penguins. Because despite the fact that they will most likely start city shopping this off season, their lease does not run out until June 2007. That is after next season, so I may get a full year to say good-bye to my beloved Penguins.
Now, on to the even worse news... GW lost in the first round of the A-10. After my post about how impressive the regular season was, they go and break my heart. I was rally pissed off at them yesterday, but I am starting to feel a bit better because of this article in the Post about GW. I think there are some really good points in there, both for and against GW. I am not giving up hope just because they got blown out of the first round by an NIT team. I still have the hope that they will get a pretty good seed and be able to focus and have a good Tourney. We shall see!


Form the clay onto the paper roll. The cardboard can be baked along with the clay!
Make sure the ornament sits nicely on the base. Then remove the ornament and bake the base separately.
Use a ball point pen, or any other tool, to make a pattern on the black clay. Even the simplest dots and squiggles look really cool!
Be very careful when dropping the candy into the opening! The glass breaks easily!!!
If you don't want it to be an ornament, you can put the ball on upside down.
After the base is baked, use super glue to attach the ornament.
Please like the PolymerClayWorkshop facebook page and check out this other adorable ornament tutorial in my etsy shop.

Infertility is a notable global public health concern, and it reflects in the findings by the World Health Organization that 10% of women are inflicted; the overall impact of subfertility or infertility is significant both in men and women, and hasn't decreased in the span of last 20 years or so. Moreover, issues pertaining to sexual health is growing owing to the excessive usage of birth control measures in pills and medicines that imbues infertility. This is leading to an observable growth prospects in the in vitro fertilization market, which was valued to be $7.1 billion to $8.5 billion as of 2018. Furthermore, the demand in the global IVF market will grow with a remarkable CAGR of 8.5% to 9.2% during the forecast period of 2019 to 2025.
In Europe, the average birth per woman has fallen down significantly over the years. While there are other factors like changes in religious faith, affordability of child, and equal rights for women to live an independent life; it's infertility that is attributed as the major factor for the discernible decline in the childbirth. The prevalence of infertility is more in countries such as Denmark and Spain. This has been opening up the in IVF market in Europe that held the maximum share 38% to 40% in 2018, according to the findings by the market analyst.
In vitro fertilisation is a type of assisted reproductive technology used as infertility treatment and gestational surrogacy that involves zygote which undergoes embryo culture. The process is executed through three different methods that involve instruments, consumables, and accessories & disposables. However, the most preferred mode of IVF is through consumables, and the implementation of IVF through consumables will grow with a CAGR of 6.1% to 6.3% through to 2025.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 2.8 million people die each year because of obesity and obesity is linked with a gamut of health-related problems that also include infertility. It is attributable to low sperm counts in males and menstruation dysfunction that leads to anovulation and infertility. Apparently, the number of obese people is perpetually on the rise which is widening the IVF market size.
There is a lot of environmental factors that are associated with infertility. These include air pollution, household water insecurity, disease vectors, and chemical hazards. Furthermore, stress has been observed as one of the most recurring factors responsible for anovulation. Now, the millennial lifestyle is inundated with stress, improper hygiene, and lack of sanitation, and these factors are collectively responsible for infertility. In addition to that, due to the growing industrialization, a significant part of the world population is working amid hazardous chemicals, and the remaining population is either living near industries or is passively affected by the circumstances. This leads to a greater susceptibility of individuals towards infertility.
"Considering that the lifestyle of the millennial generation is a threat to the reproductive health, and the environmental factors are having a profound impact on the same, the in vitro fertilization will observe an upsurge in demand in the coming years," adds the market expert in the in vitro fertilization market research report.
In many societies, childbirth is still considered as an integral duty of women. Even though there is a positive penetration of women empowerment across the globe which is aiding to the individuality of women; but unfortunately, the inability to reproduce is still a societal dogma in some parts of APAC, Africa, and other small countries across the globe. This is a major reason many couples seek for in vitro fertilization or surrogacy in order to gain acceptance in the society which further strokes the IVF market.
In November 2018, National Registry of Activity of the Spanish Fertility Society (SEF) revealed that in 2016, 138,553 IVF cycles and 34,463 artificial inseminations were executed in Spain.
Latest Development – In April 2018, ObsEva – a company that develops reproductive treatment methods had reported trial results of a therapy that can increase the success rate of in vitro fertilization. This innovation will hugely impact the IVF market by instilling further surety factor and subsequently garnering a larger customer base.
The major challenge in front of the vendors in the IVF market is the regulations pertaining to the process which entails some requirements in the laboratory that shoot up the investment.

Analyst: 'Demand for housing is still very strong'
by Karen | Dec 7, 2022 | Housing Market | 0 comments
Even though monthly mortgage payments reached a record high in October, there are still many eager homebuyers, according to one analyst, who cited the unexpected rise in new single-family home sales in October.
"I think what it tells us is that the underlying demand for housing is still very strong," John Lovallo, home builder and building products equity research analyst for UBS, told Yahoo Finance Live (video above).
"There is just very, very little existing home supply in the market, only about three months of supply versus the historical average of closer to six. To the extent that people are looking for homes, they're more inclined to look at a new home and I think those factors are also in play," Lovallo said.
A man carries a ladder through new home construction in Trappe, Maryland, on October 28, 2022. – New home sales in the US dipped in September, official data showed on October 26, 2022, as worsening affordability nudges ownership further out of reach for many. Sales soared during the coronavirus pandemic as Americans snapped up homes on the back of bargain mortgage rates, but the sector has cooled with the US Federal Reserve hiking lending rates as it fights to bring down surging inflation.

Many buyers are competing for the few homes for sale because many homeowners are staying in their homes. With soaring mortgage rates at almost 7%, homeowners want to keep their current low mortgage rates.
"If you're a homeowner, an existing homeowner, and you have a mortgage, chances are that it is below 5%, in many cases below 4%. I think it is forcing a lot of people to sort of stay put," Lovallo said. "The first-time buyers are still very active in the market, in our view, but in terms of existing home sales, you're sort of locked in."
Though it's hard for many homebuyers to find the right house, Lovallo said there are options for them if they have more flexibility in their search.
NOVATO, CALIFORNIA – MARCH 23: New homes under construction are seen at a housing development on March 23, 2022 in Novato, California. According to a report by the Commerce Department, sales of new single-family homes slowed in February as mortgage rates inch up and and house prices continue to rise.

"I think what is most important is that you have levers that you can pull," Lovallo said. "You can move a little further away from the city, and borrow money from mom and dad, you can buy a smaller footprint home."
Lovallo says that the housing market may finally becomes stable after all the recent volatility. The Federal Reserve raising interest rates caused housing interest rates to grow and the relatively safe 10-year Treasury bond to draw investors. He said that if the Treasury bond stabilizes next year, mortgage rates may fall to 4%.
"If we use our economists' forecast for the 10-year bond next year, which is 2.65%, that gets you a mortgage rate that's in the mid-4's," said Lovallo. "That it is a possibility that if we can just get some settling in rates, that affordability will be much improved."

Predictive maintenance: How a small team of AI scientists can change the world
by iotosphere 26/04/2019 | 7:06 0 Posted in News
The confluence of emerging technologies – and their impact in concert – is becoming ever-more pronounced. Edge computing has previously been something of an unsung hero – but for the Internet of Things (IoT), and more specifically predictive maintenance, it is increasingly key.
Take driverless cars as an example. Mike Fay, business development manager at Dell Techologies' IoT and embedded computing group, notes it is an edge device in itself. "You have to do it at such a pace to get it to almost real-time," he said. "If an autonomous car is driving on the road and a deer runs out, and it does the calculations – you can't send that to the cloud. If you do, you're having venison for dinner."
Fay's analogy may not have been ideal for any vegetarians in the IoT Tech Expo audience, but his point was bang on target. Anes Hodzic, VP, head of IoT and digital transformation officer at Airbus, added to it. "There's edge and then there's edge," he said. "If you think about new use cases, [such as] predictive maintenance where you have to react in order to avoid something that breaks down and impacts quality, then you really need a powerful edge.
"In our case we see IoT really as a nervous system. You need a powerful connection between the edge, the device and the brain, which is in our case the cloud."
The wider discussion topic, around predictive maintenance, was arguably one of evolution rather than revolution. As Maggie Slowik, IDC senior research analyst and moderator of the session pointed out, it's not anything new. But recent developments are making a significant difference.
"If you talk with people who invest a lot of money in new infrastructure, technology, equipment, all [of them] are looking for a killer app," explained Hodzic. "The killer app these days could be predictive maintenance.
"RIght now the opportunities with GPUs, new processing and new storage capacities to run some heavy lifting, heavy processing on the edge… it's [easy] to see the full potential," Hodzic added. "This time it's not so much rocket science from my perspective. A small team of AI scientists with a hardware background can change the world."
Many companies are grasping the nettle and developing and optimising for something which may – hopefully – never even happen. "Companies come to us; they're developing something and then waiting for the problem to happen, rather than thinking about the problem as a starting point," said Fay. "What is the end goal? Where's the value in the organisation to go and deliver this to? In some cases we actually recommend them to go back and think it through."
Sujatha Vaidyanathan, senior manager of suply chain and operations analytics at Accenture, noted this as well, but with a caveat. Clients want 'quick, economical, and accurate', she said. "If a failure happens then it's billions of loss," Vaidyanathan said. "You want to predict the failure but the failure has not happened. How you develop the failure patterns using machine learning becomes a challenge."
Some of the case studies were of particular interest. Hodzic noted that Airbus had rolled out policies whereby predictive maintenance had to be switched off after two days because the maintenance team was not ready for it, while Fay outlined an initiative with a provider of heavy mining machinery, and the benefits and challenges with bringing that real estate into the digital world.
Ultimately, the issues may be estimable, but the potential far outstrips that. "That's the challenge for this era," added Vaidyanathan. "It's not about connections. Now it's crossing that boundary, going from predictive to prescriptive. That's what's new – we are now embedding intelligence and moving from asset management to managing the intelligence of the asset."

I've solved a couple of world problems this week and I want to let you in on them so that you, unlike me, don't waste a lot of your time endlessly researching the internet trying to find solutions to your vexing problems. You will thank me, I promise.
First off, we discovered on Wednesday that someone who will not be named had left the upstairs freezer accidentally not all the way shut. We use this freezer to store important items like the bottle of holy water I scooped out of the Jordan River in 2008 while on a trip to the Holy Land with my mother and two oldest girls. They were selling holy water in the gift shop, which you had to exit through in order to leave the park, I mean historical site, but it about $10 US dollars a bottle, and I had an empty water bottle in my travel bag. I walked into a shallow section of the Jordan and promptly lost my footing on the algae, but I recovered in time to scoop my holy water out, screw on the lid, and hide it in my purse. I did not purchase the baptismal package which included a white paper robe, as I was baptized at the age of 9 when I asked Jesus into my heart at First Baptist Church, Abilene, Texas. Now that I'm no longer a Baptist, and all three of my girls were baptized as infants, I thought it would be cool to be able to baptize my grandchildren with actual water from the Jordan River, because Jesus actually was in that river and if He touched it, it has to be extra special. My girls have all since been baptized by immersion as they came to faith and wanted to practice the symbol of believer's baptism. Both are just symbols, and it's okay. So my holy water unthawed but was unharmed. Whew!
The other items we store in the upstairs freezer didn't fare as well. The remaining venison, duck, quail or dove left from last year's hunting season also unthawed and sat in the now-warm freezer from Sunday night to sometime Wednesday evening. To say that it smelled like someone had stored a dead body in a closet for a week might be an understatement. It was the most disgusting smell and mess I can remember. Will and I trashed all the bad meat, and carried it out to the garbage (which doesn't go out until Monday afternoon) so you can just imagine the smell of our garbage cans today as they went to the curb. We didn't have time to do a proper cleaning of the freezer at that point, so we shut the door and went to bed. The next day when I went up to tackle the cleaning, it quickly went downhill. I got everything cleaned up on the inside, but it still smelled really badly, so I decided to pull it out from the wall and make sure nothing had leaked underneath it. This was a profound discovery and a huge mistake since Will was at work and once I discovered it I had to be the one to clean it up. The contents of the freezer which had unthawed had leaked under the freezer onto the laminate floor. I proceeded to clean this up, which was literally terrible, but it still smelled. I noticed that in the corner, it appeared that the leak might have gotten under the flooring and onto the subfloor. I won't bore you with the details, but after I had taken up the flooring down to the subfloor, I realized we would have to replace the flooring in the laundry room.
So, world problem #1 I solved: If you have a freezer that has a lock on it with a key that you can use to make sure the door is fully shut each time you open it, LOCK THE FREEZER EVERY TIME YOU SHUT THE DOOR SO YOU KNOW IT IS FULLY SHUT. You will thank me every time your meat is still frozen when you open it.
Secondly, I have finally discovered how to clean glass shower doors. Let me back up to say that we updated a very outdated master bathroom last year. I had never really cared about keeping my shower doors clean because they were not real glass, they were textured, and they had been there for 20 years and weren't clean when we bought the house. Once we gutted that bathroom and installed a new, pretty glass shower, I dutifully bought the squeegee that everyone says you must have to clean the doors. I used it faithfully for a month or so, but then I got lazy and didn't squeegee so much. I noticed that the glass wasn't as clear as it used it be, so I have cleaned it with Windex, CLR, vinegar, vinegar and water, and a host of other expensive cleaning products that were supposed to work. They did not. I tried RainEx. I tried fine steel wool. Nothing would get that hard water, calcium, build up off the glass. Today I spent many minutes on the internet researching people's thoughts on this pressing issue. Someone suggested HOT vinegar and Dawn original dish soap in a spray bottle. I am pleased to say that it worked. I had to do it a couple of times, and I had to scrub it with fine steel wool and a textured Mr. Clean pad, but it looks almost brand new.
I'm not sure what it is about hard work that feels so fulfilling. Obviously, I haven't cured cancer or anything really important, but I have worked really hard this week solving problems that have happened in our house. It wasn't creative or financially productive, but it sure does feel good to have done hard work. In the creation account found in Genesis, we learn that God worked to create the earth and everything in it and that when He banished Adam and Eve from the Garden, it was to a life of work. Work is God's gift to us. When we work, we are reflecting the character of God. Work is good for us. One of my professors at Gordon Conwell taught that "when sin entered the world, it corrupted everything, including work. Instead of joy, work is tainted by sin. It is difficult, exhausting, and aversive. All work, no matter how sure we are that God has called us to it, has moments when it is hard, routine, restrictive, boring and lonely.
We can love our jobs. We can feel called to do what we do. And it can still be hard. We can have jobs we don't love or even feel particularly called to. We can have a job that we don't like. Work is complicated, isn't it?
In Colossians 3:23, Paul says "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters". So this week, I cleaned out a freezer and cleaned glass shower doors for the Lord. And it felt really good. What kind of work did you do this week to the glory of God?

Today I'm posting over at imagine gnats about the Darling Ranges dress I made in double gauze.
I went through about 14 muslin versions of the bodice — my floor was covered in discarded bits! And this was right after I read a post on Sew Mama Sew advising sewers to avoid muslining in order to be less wasteful. >_< It turned out that the first 12 or so versions were due to my shifting my darts incorrectly; once I followed an actual method (instead of winging it), I only needed one muslin to get the darts in the correct place and a second one to adjust the dart height. gahhhh.
The coral stripes are a little outside of my comfort zone, so I was nervous about using the fabric well and actually sketched a bunch of options for the stripes to go on the dress. Could you tell that I tried to make the front chevrony? 😀 The back is pieced to be chevrony too, but I regret that a little because it's always covered by my hair, and now I'm worried that the bias edges at the waist will stretch out funny.

'A Gest of Robin Hood'
A Gest of Robin Hood: Woodcut of Robin Hood from a tract called 'Here begynneth a gest of Robyn Hode', probably printed in Antwerp between 1510 and 1515. This woodcut is the oldest known likeness of Robin Hood.
This particular image/extract from a book was not printed by 'Chepman & Myllar Prints' but by other printers, which were then bound with the Chepman & Myllar Prints' in the same single volume for over 200 years, pp.197-220 in the volume.
The only known copies of nine of the earliest books printed in Scotland are known as 'The Chepman & Myllar Prints.' They were produced in or about 1508 on Scotland's first printing press, established in Edinburgh (in what is now the Cowgate) by Walter Chepman and Androw Myllar. Chepman, an Edinburgh merchant, provided the money. Myllar, an Edinburgh bookseller who had previously been involved with printing in France, brought with him experience in the book trade. The 'The Chepman & Myllar Prints' were originally produced, as far as can be told, as separate items.

Fortnite is a fun game, sure, however if you've played both Fortnite and PUBG, you'll have noticed that spatial audio in PUBG is leagues ahead of what it is in Fortnite. Using audio cues in PUBG makes it a lot easier to pinpoint the location of an enemy, while using audio cues in Fortnite is helpful, but not nearly as good as it should be especially in a game where you're competing against 99 other actual players.
Fortunately, Epic has taken note of this problem, and in a new blog post, the Fortnite developer has outlined the steps (no pun intended) it's taking (and will be taking) to make spatial audio better in the game.
Footstep sounds will be improved to make it easier to differentiate between footsteps above and below your location.
Epic will also add more high frequency audio content to make it easier for players to pinpoint the location of steps.
Glider audio will also be tweaked, and will use Doppler effect to give a more realistic feel when a glider passes above (or close by) a player.
Glider opening and closing sounds will also be audible from further away.
Fortnite will get a system to add audio-tells to players in movement through the air, including sounds for players jumping from launchpads, bounce pads, and more.
Epic will also be identifying cases where important sounds sometimes don't play at all or get mixed up in the chaos. Once these cases are identified, they will also be fixed.
Season 6 hits Fortnite on September 27, so we can expect some improvement in Fortnite's audio system then, while more changes continue to arrive throughout the Season.

Robbie Krawcyzk (pictured) is the chef behind one of 2018's most talked-about restaurant openings: Chestnut in Ballydehob. Robbie grew up in West Cork, so there's something of a return of the prodigal to his new venture.
Robbie's paternal grandparents left Poland around the time that Stalin was making his presence felt, and ended up in Shepherd's Bush, where Robbie's father, Frank, was raised. When Frank met Anne Kenefick, from Cork city, they settled in Schull, where the couple ran a seasonal summer restaurant, The Barn, from their home.
"It was a pop-up, really," says Robbie, "they were holding dinner parties and charging people to come." Frank began to experiment with making sausages and salamis for the restaurant, his customers liked them, and almost inadvertently a hobby turned into a year-round business – more sustainable than a restaurant that was open for only two months a year.
These days Frank consults for others starting to make their own charcuterie and, says his son, has been a huge help in the early months of Chestnut.
Robbie is already making ham fat which he preserves in salt for use in the kitchen at Chestnut, and plans to start making coppa, different flavours of salami, bacons and pancetta in the coming months – under Frank's guidance.
This month, Rob will host Black Bush Cured: a hands-on whiskey and charcuterie masterclass at Drury Buildings in Dublin, on July 25, in collaboration with Bushmills Irish Whiskey. The interactive event will see him teaching his students how to use the whiskey to cure and smoke their own meat.
The masterclass is part of the #BlackBushStories campaign – a collaborative event series celebrating the stories and crafts of independent, spirited and extraordinary talent across Ireland.

In your letter dated March 24, 2004, you requested a classification ruling.
You submitted a pair of boys' blue denim carpenter shorts, identified as style 103566. They are made of 100% cotton woven fabric and feature a buttoned waistband with six belt loops; a zippered fly; two front scoop pockets; a small watch pocket; one in the front and one in the back pocket; a side carpenter's pocket designed to hold long handled tools; and hemmed leg openings. Attached to the front belt loop and connected to a fabric loop on the side seam is a metal chain measuring approximately seven inches in length. Each end is fitted with a snap hook which fastens to "D" rings affixed to the belt loop and side fabric loop. You specifically ask if this chain and hook is classified separately from the garment. The sample will be returned as you requested in a telephone conversation.
The applicable subheading for style 103566 will be 6203.42.4060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for men's or boys' trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts: Of cotton: Other: Shorts: Boys': Other. The duty rate will be 16.6% ad valorem.
The chain with attached snap hooks is classified separately from the garment. Although you attempted to provide information on the metal content of the hooks and chain on two separate occasions, the information you supplied was either incorrect or inadequate. In order to provide complete classification information on the chain and hooks, you must provide the metal content of the chain and hooks expressed in percentages by weight of the component metals. You stated that the chain and hook were made of iron or steel, but the chain does not react to a magnet as iron or steel would react. You then stated that the metal content was copper, but 100% copper does not have the silver color that the chain and hooks have. We suggest that you check with the manufacturer of the metal components to ascertain the correct metal content. Once you obtain that information, you could resubmit your request for complete classification advice on the metal portion of this sample.
Style 103566 falls within textile category designation 647. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of Kenya are not subject to quota and do not require a visa.


So very good idea even used before. Doesnt matter that the idea is used earlier. Some sources are just made for an idea. Like this one. Execution is good also.
I like that you did not just draw colored circles and drop them on, there is detail to make it look like inserted colors. Nice touch.


22 May 2014 CREATE YOUR OWN DECORATIVE LIGHTS WITH AN OLD BALL AND SOME STRING!
The latest trend in any professional field is shifting from traditional to creative methods, and more so on the branding and the promotional aspects. How companies or individuals portray themselves has become more and more important in recent times, especially with the increasing use of social media. Keeping this current trend in mind, three individuals with a knack for graphic designs and cartoons started Khwappa Cartoons where they create lookalike cartoon characters for their clients and use them for promotional purposes of any kind. To further elaborate on the story of Khwappa Cartoons we had a talk with the three co-founders of Khwappa Cartoons: Mr. Saujanya Pradhan, Mr. Sonal Shrestha and Mr. Sameep Babu Malla.
HOW DID THE IDEA OF STARTING KHWAPPA CARTOON COME TO LIGHT?
It all started and became what it is over time. Initially we got the idea while doing a project for our college which was promotion and branding. We have always been interested in graphic designing and also Saujanya's full time job. After that we had this idea of making lookalike cartoons for people in college. We went out on a hunch and that worked out really well. After that, we started printing on business cards, mugs, t-shirts, stickers, badges and such.
HOW IS THE RESPONSE FROM THE CUSTOMERS OR THE PUBLIC ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS IDEA?
We are still to officially launch Khwappa Cartoons and we are still striving to make our business better, but as per the response, it has exceeded our expectations as we have been approached businesses in a good way, and we have had inquiries that all look positive.
YOU ARE A PRETTY YOUNG COMPANY, HOW ARE YOU TACKLING THE OBSTACLES COME YOUR WAY?
Being a small business we there are plenty of obstacles, especially because we are just starting out. Also, we have many clients that give us a small order but the printing company doesn't take those orders because it has to be in a certain amount. And also finding a printing press and a good supplier was also a hassle but from Saujanya's graphic designing job we were able to make it more efficient from the people he already knew. There are more obstacles and probably more that will come our way, but that is something we will take on as they come.
We are planning do all sorts of merchandising. We hope to be the place where customers can have all sorts of branding products. Basically, our target is a package system; we are also trying to make birthday gifts, and nametags with cartoons on it for school kids. So, our target is not just business houses but personal merchandise as well. We are lately trying to reach college students where they have the option to make a group cartoon photo or also individual photos where they can quote a favorite dialogue they use or anything memorable as such.

Couple in Diss reveal the secret of a happy marriage on 65th anniversary
John and Jean Rhall celebrate their 65th wedding anniverary. Submitted picture.
A Diss couple reflected on their "wonderful life together" as they celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary today.
John and Jean Rhall have hardly spent a day apart, and received a telegram from the Queen to mark their 60th anniversary five years ago.
Jean and I have had a wonderful life together. Members of the family often joke that we finish each other's sentences, and we always have done
John Rhall
Originally from Liverpool, they now live at De Lucy House in Diss.
John, 86, a retired builder, and Jean, 85, have three daughters and two sons, nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Mr Rhall said: "We have seen plenty of changes over the years. For instance, the year we got married the NHS introduced a prescription charge of one shilling, and not long after our wedding day tea rationing was finally brought to an end after 13 years.
"Jean and I have had a wonderful life together. Members of the family often joke that we finish each other's sentences, and we always have done.
Mr Rhall believes the secret of a long and happy marriage is there has to be "a little bit of give and take between both people".
He added: "Jean has always been a fantastic home-maker and the thing that has given us most joy and happiness is watching our family grow up and expand.
"We are also incredibly lucky to have found De Lucy House. It's really comfortable and the staff have gone out of their way to make us feel at home."

What Is a Game?
Traditionally, games have been skill-based activities. A game involves two or more players who are trying to achieve a goal. The game may involve skill, luck, and chance. Sometimes, the results are directly affected by the game, such as in bullet hell games, where players must shoot their enemies or die.
Other examples of games include puzzle games, where the player must solve visual or logic problems. A game can also be a type of interactive entertainment, in which the player is required to interact with props, such as a table or a chair. Other games can be designed to teach children about specific topics.
For example, a real-time strategy game is a video game that requires the player to manage armies. This genre of video game includes titles like Civilization, which is a real-time strategy game.
Another type of game is an interactive board game. A business game is a game that is used to train or develop a team, as well as to generate discussions about how to improve an organization. Some business games are computer simulations, while others are board games, like Tetris.
The definition of a game is often broad, but most games have some common elements. These include a set of rules and goals, as well as a challenge. The best way to determine what a game is is to examine its rules. This is because the rules of a game are its heart. The rules define the game and the borders of the game. They are the foundation of the game, and they never exist outside of the game. Those who study the rules are called game theorists. They offer many theories to explain what makes a game "feel" right.
For example, a real-time game is a video game that involves controlling opposing armies, with rhythmic prompting through music and sound effects. This kind of game is usually played online, and is used to simulate team sports.
The basic criteria apply to all types of games. However, there are some exceptions. For instance, games that require a lot of skill, such as the game of chess, will probably be easier to play than a game that is purely based on luck.
One reason why some people find video games appealing is that they are an interactive experience. They can be played alone, or with friends. Some games are completely scripted, while others are more creative and artistic. The most popular kinds of games are usually multiplayer.
A game is a group activity that engages players' emotions and intellect. These games can be competitive or cooperative, and most games are done for fun or entertainment. There are many types of games, including video games, games of chance, and games of skill. Typically, a game involves an interactive environment, a goal, a challenge, and a reward. There are also games that are abstract or deconstructed.
Some games have no challenge or are pure artistic immersion. Some are text-based, where the scenarios are presented in text form. There are also games that require the player to interact with the game, such as a platformer.

FanPulse: Confidence is sky high after the Ravens beat the Patriots
Opposite sides of the spectrum

After a road victory over the Seahawks in Week 7, the confidence of Ravens fans in their team was already high. However, following last week's primetime win against the Patriots, optimism is now through the roof.
Yep, the Ravens moved up from 97% to 100%. Thus, confidence could not be higher than it is right now. The same can't be said for their AFC North foes, however.
Confidence from Steelers fans has fluctuated throughout the season, but it's currently at the highest point since the preseason and Week 1. Given their recent win over the Colts, it's not too surprising. They'll face an uphill climb to keep their win streak alive against the Rams in Week 10.
As the Browns have continued to drop multiple games in a row, so too has the confidence from their fans. After a road loss to Brandon Allen and the Broncos last week, it has plummeted to 17% - the lowest of the season. Cleveland will look to right the ship against the Bills this Sunday.
Last but not least, we have the Bengals. Not much has changed here, even after the team announced Ryan Finley would be taking over as the starting quarterback. Cincinnati is still searching for their first win of the season, and Ravens fans are both confident and hoping that it won't come against Baltimore this week.

More than 180 knives have been handed into police stations across Lancashire in a bid to tackle knife crime.
Between April and December 2018 Lancashire Police saw knife crime figures increase by almost 20 per cent - 849 crimes where a knife or sharp implement was used compared to 682 for the same period in 2017.
The figures reflect an overall increase in recorded crime in Lancashire and in each period make up around four per cent of overall crimes.
As part of a national campaign to take knives off the streets, Lancashire Police ran Operation Sceptre, encouraging residents to hand over their blades.
Between March 11 and March 15, 182 weapons were handed in at police stations across the county, which will now be safely destroyed.
Clive Grunshaw, Lancashire's Police and Crime Commissioner added: "I'm pleased that this knife surrender has seen many knives handed in to the police, with our communities safer as a result.
