These 19th century terracotta urns would have been used domestically to store and preserve wine, olive oil, vegetables, meat, honey and seed.
They would originally have had a lid and were made using a potter's' wheel mainly on the Greek Islands of Rhodes, Chios and Sifnos.They were white washed to reflect the sun to help keep the contents cool.
We have a number of these in stock and each one is a slightly different size and shape and has its own individual patina and markings making them all totally original.
These attractive urns look fantastic as decorative items both inside and in the garden.


The burglary took place on April 2, where gardening equipment valued at a four figure sum was stolen.
An Essex Police spokesman said: "We were called with reports of a burglary at an address on Dunmow Road, Dunmow on April 2. It was reported that between 8pm and 9pm entry had been forced into the property and gardening equipment valued at a four figure sum was stolen. Witnesses or anyone who saw suspicious behaviour in the area around this time, are asked to contact the Uttlesford Community Policing team on 101, quoting reference 42/51990/19.

Pepper Rutland – Founder and CEO of MMR Group
Mario Schulzke • December 15, 2019 June 27, 2017
I believe that there are two words you must eliminate in your culture to get people behind you in order to grow. Those two words are "Ego" and "Greed."
Pepper Rutland is an entrepreneurial philanthropist first and an entrepreneurial businessman second. He founded his company, MMR Group, in 1991 and is currently serving as the company's President/CEO. Through his work and life experiences, and thanks to the success of his business, Pepper has been able to give back to the community in several ways, including by founding his own charitable baseball league. None of this would be possible without the support of his family and colleagues, and he credits his successes not only to his strong determination and work ethic, but to those who have influenced him along his career.
Pepper attended Louisiana State University, where he was awarded a football scholarship. He served as team captain, and was named a member of the All Southeastern Conference Academic Team for the 1971-1972 school year. Although Pepper Rutland excelled on the football field, this was not his only area of expertise while attending LSU. Pepper continued to excel in his academic studies as well, focusing on his Bachelor of Science in Construction Technology & Engineering degree diligently.
Adding yet another accomplishment to his time at LSU, Pepper Rutland was actually one of the first students to graduate from the Construction Technology Program. During his time in college, Pepper also held the distinguished honor of serving as Vice President of Sigma Lambda Chi, the National Construction Scholastic Society.
Through his determination and strong academic successes, Pepper was able to create his own company from the ground up. To this day, MMR Group is the largest privately-owned merit shop electrical and instrumentation contractor in America. The great stature and reputation of MMR Group has given Pepper Rutland the chance to expand his business, giving it the added benefit of being one of the only businesses in the industry that houses such a wide skill set of work.
Pepper Rutland has been able to partner with his beloved alma mater, LSU, through MMR Group to donate over $1 million to the College of Engineering in the hopes of inspiring others to pursue the studies within this major. This donation elevated the college to become recognized by the Society for Engineering Excellence of LSU.
Although Pepper has immense pride for his company, MMR Group is not the only accomplishment that aids in his entrepreneurial endeavors. Sports were such an important part of Pepper's life growing up that he wanted to share this joy with others in addition to being able to give back to the community. This desire to give others the foundation of success that he enjoyed was the inspiration for his next big adventure.
Pepper Rutland became a founding member of the Miracle League at Cypress Mounds, where he currently serves as President of the organization. Through the Miracle League, Pepper is able to provide opportunities for children with disabilities to play baseball in a league all their own. This organization gives support for both a men's and women's team, giving the volunteers and members of the group a chance to mentor these young individuals and inspire them to strive for success. This project has brought great joy to Pepper, as he and his fellow members believe that nothing should stop the determination of a young mind, no matter the circumstances.
With humble pride, Pepper Rutland continues to lead his peers and employees within his own business, and those he comes into contact with through his philanthropic work. With expansions for MMR Group in North Dakota, Texas, and Ecuador, increased participation within the Miracle League of Cypress Mounds, and ongoing recognitions from LSU, Pepper Rutland has enjoyed being able to reflect on the lessons he's learned throughout his early adulthood and career in order to provide advice and support for others. It is his wish that everyone be successful and give back in whatever capacity they are able.
Where did the idea for MMR Group come from?
After leaving a previous organization that was similar in nature, I believed that, managed differently, our business model would thrive, and it has.
My typical day is spent reacting to problems, answering questions, resolving issues or conflicts, and directing our management team on the path and business model we have chosen. Unanswered questions or issues do nothing but slow progress.
I generally bounce new ideas off my senior management team to get their reaction and look for the flaws and weak points. If we can't shoot it down, we move on to the next step.
What's one trend that really excites you?
The trend that our country is really working toward is Energy Independence. This will truly have a long-lasting impact on our economy and where we are headed as a nation.
I have the determination to complete a task in full–never leaving anything unfinished. I believe that it is important to clean up all the details that are often overlooked, no matter how small.
To be more patient. Sometimes quick reactions are truly knee-jerk, and you later wish you would have taken a little more time to think it through.
Tell us something that's true that almost nobody agrees with you on?
I believe in today's lifestyle the entrepreneur can still succeed and help influence change. That the sophisticated society we live in has not dampened that spirit, even though it is much harder than it was 20 years ago.
Organize and prioritize your schedule and routine every day. Disorganization creates chaos and confusion. People tend to migrate toward stable, structured, and organized operations.
What is one strategy that has helped you grow your business? Please explain how.
Leadership through Example. When people see senior leaders in the "trenches" willing to do whatever to help succeed, they respond. I believe that there are two words you must eliminate in your culture to get people behind you in order to grow. Those two words are "Ego" and "Greed."
To not listen to my gut instinct when I knew better, knew something wasn't right but did it anyway because there was a compelling argument at the time. Listen to your gut, your heart, and your conscience.
Divisionalized entrepreneurship, where you invest in your management on a basis that you reward good management skills and decision making financially. Effectively, you are asking them to "bet" on themselves.
Picking up a dinner tab for a couple of military guys coming back from Iraq. It's amazing how grateful they were when it should be us that has that gratitude.
What is one piece of software or a web service that helps you be productive? How do you use it?
Everything is on my cell phone, daily morning report, stock market analysis, every APP available, well maybe not every APP.
I have 5 books I recommend to our upcoming management. I personally liked Endurance by Alfred Lansing. It shows great leadership of men and how you can endure struggle in the toughest of situations.
"Learning and innovation go hand in hand. The arrogance of success is to think what you did yesterday will be sufficient for tomorrow." William Pollard

Causes of women's mental health issues and treatment recommendations will be explored at the "Building Hope" public lecture on Tuesday, March 6.
Psychiatrist Jessica Reis, M.D., will present "Women's Mental Health: Promoting Wellness Across the Reproductive Lifecycle" at 7 p.m. at Second Presbyterian Church, 3701 Old Brownsboro Road. The "Building Hope" lecture series is sponsored by the UofL Depression Center.
Women are more likely than men to develop depression, most anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders and attempt suicide, said Reis, the associate program director of the UofL Department of Psychiatry and Brain Sciences Residency Program.
Some disorders are specifically associated with a woman's menstrual cycle and pregnancy, including mood disorders that arise during pregnancy or within weeks after giving birth and premenstrual dysphoric disorder, a severe form of premenstrual syndrome with debilitating emotional symptoms of irritability, depression and anxiety.
Reis also will discuss treatment and prevention recommendations, including medication, therapy, diet and exercise.
The UofL Depression Center is Kentuckiana's leading resource for depression and bipolar disorder treatment, research and education. It is a charter member of the National Network of Depression Centers, a consortium of leading depression centers that develops and fosters connections among members to advance scientific discovery and provide stigma-free, evidence-based care to patients with depressive and bipolar illnesses.

Nishikori potentiality out of Australian Open
Cape Town - Kei Nishikori's participation in the 2020 Australian Open is dependent on his rehabilitation following elbow surgery.
The Japanese star missed the end of the 2019 season after undergoing elbow surgery following the US Open in August.
It was hoped that he would be back in action or the start of the season, but he has cast doubt over that, saying that his focus is on finishing the season strongly, not starting it.
"I don't want to overdo it," the 29-year-old told Nikkan Sports regarding his comeback bid.
"The prospect is a return from surgery on right elbow in January, maybe February.

Do this drill often enough, and you'll improve your conditioning and coordination, and crush the competition.
Ready to give the drill a shot for this weekend's fitness challenge? Grab a jump rope and a stopwatch, and then watch the video above. Durkin completed 500 jumps in 3 minutes and 58 seconds. When Sproles performed the drill, he completed 500 reps in 3 minutes and 20 seconds. What was your time? Let us know in the comments below.


Does car insurance cover roadside assistance?
Does my auto insurance cover roadside assistance?
You buy car insurance so you don't have to pay out of pocket for the damages to your car or someone else's after an accident.
Insurance allows you to pay a reasonable amount each month, or every six months, for the security of knowing you won't have a huge bill in a worst-case-scenario situation.
But there are limits on what car insurance covers. These limits can vary based on the policy you choose.
For instance, the least-expensive policies that keep you within the parameters of the law while driving cover you for only a modest amount of liability when you hit another driver. These policies don't pay for anything having to do with your car.
Then you have more robust policies that pay not only for damage to your car in an accident but also for the destruction caused by other events, such as theft, vandalism or storm damage.
Another situation where you might need help is when your vehicle breaks down on the side of the road.
A car breakdown can be nerve-wracking, especially if you're in an unfamiliar area or there's lots of traffic. Can you call your insurance company to help in this situation?
If you have a traditional insurance policy, then, unfortunately, chances are you probably can't. But read on to learn how you can protect yourself with supplemental insurance for roadside assistance.
Compare car insurance quotes right here to find the insurance coverage you need at a rate you can afford.
What if I need assistance following an accident?
Traditional policies cover you for damages or injuries in an accident or non-accident situation. The extent of your coverage depends on the type or types of car insurance you have. The three main kinds of car insurance are as follows.
Liability insurance – this covers only damage to another person's vehicle or injuries to their person. All states except two (New Hampshire and Virginia) require liability coverage for you to drive legally. This option gives you the cheapest car insurance, but understand that you won't be covered for damage to your own vehicle or injuries to yourself.
Collision insurance – this covers damage to your vehicle in an accident where you are at fault. (If the other driver is at fault, their insurance should cover your damage.) Any damage to your car from something other than an accident (e.g., storm damage) isn't covered by collision insurance.
Comprehensive insurance – this coverage is for damage that occurs to your vehicle in non-collision situations. The most common are storms, theft, and vandalism.
Notice that roadside assistance isn't listed for any of these coverage types. That's because a roadside breakdown isn't an event caused by external forces, such as a car crash or a tree falling on your car during a tornado.
It's more akin to a car repair, such as for a blown transmission or worn brake pads – issues for which you wouldn't file a claim with your auto insurance.
But don't fret. If you need coverage for roadside assistance, you can find it with ease. The following sections give you your options on where to obtain this coverage.
Specific auto insurance exists just for roadside assistance. What's more, this coverage typically costs much less than traditional auto insurance coverage.
While you might pay $100 a month or more if you have collision and comprehensive insurance, you can often find roadside assistance insurance for $100 a year or less.
You can buy roadside assistance insurance from your current auto insurance company or from a third-party provider.
The first place you might want to look for roadside assistance coverage is with your current auto insurance company. Most of the major carriers offer this coverage.
Buying from your current company offers convenience since all your car insurance coverage will be with the same company.
Moreover, your carrier might offer bundle discounts, where they lower the premiums on either your primary or supplemental policy for having multiple coverage types with them.
You can also frequently find such discounts when you buy homeowner's insurance or life insurance from the same company you use for auto insurance.
Before agreeing to roadside assistance from your current car insurance company, it's a good idea to check with third-party providers to see what they offer. You might be able to find a better deal.
There are several companies that specialize in this coverage and have excellent reputations. Consider getting a quote from one or more of these companies and putting it side by side with the offer from your current car insurance company and comparing them.
If you're a member of a trade union or discount club, you might be able to obtain roadside assistance coverage there. Various clubs and civic organizations sometimes offer it as a membership perk.
Even your cell phone provider offers a potential place to look for roadside assistance insurance. The more options you investigate, the more likely you are to find the best deal on the market.
Here's an interesting question: what if you have a car accident that necessitates an insurance claim, but you also need roadside assistance because your car is immobilized and you are stranded?
As a general rule, your traditional auto insurance policy kicks in on roadside assistance if the need for it arises from a situation in which a valid claim is filed.
For instance, if your car needs towing following a collision, your traditional insurance, assuming you have collision coverage, pays for the tow truck cost.
If you have comprehensive coverage and your vehicle is vandalized in a parking lot to the point where it won't start, your traditional insurance should cover the cost of towing your vehicle to a repair shop.
On the other hand, if you're driving down the interstate and hear the familiar hum and vibration of a flat tire, you should call the company with which you have roadside assistance coverage to send out help.
Whether it's traditional coverage or a supplemental policy for roadside assistance, you want to be sure you're getting the best deal on auto insurance. There are tons of policies out there to choose from, and sometimes it can get overwhelming.
The following tips can help you find the best policy for your needs and ensure you're always getting the best deal.
You don't have to go with the first company that offers you a quote. Statistically speaking, the first quote you receive isn't likely to be the best deal.
Instead, look at three to four different options before making your decision. This way, you'll have a frame of references to use for judging each quote. When you make your choice, you can do it with confidence knowing that it's the best out of the several you reviewed.
Your insurance needs change over time. The insurance business itself is also fluid. The policy that was best for you six months ago might not still be best going forward. For this reason, you should conduct regular policy reviews.
Determine if your needs have changed, and also investigate whether another company now has a better policy to fit what you're looking for.
Insurance companies get rated on their ability to pay claims and their customer service quality. Evaluating these ratings before making your decision can help you pick the company that will offer you the best experience and the most reliability.

Creighton University Side Saddle
Over the next three months, our blog posts will detail the history, condition, and treatment of a saddle that belongs to Creighton University. It is believed to have been the saddle of Mary Lucretia Creighton and was in dire need of help when it arrived at the Ford Center. While it looked like a hopeless case, it ended up being one of the most impressive transformations we've seen.
Portrait of Mary Lucretia Creighton
Mary Lucretia Creighton was born Mary Lucretia Wareham in Dayton, Ohio, on February 3, 1834. She married Edward Creighton in 1865 and the couple eventually moved to Omaha, Nebraska. Edward was a successful banker and gave his wife a daily allowance of $25 for her work with the poor (this is approximately equivalent to $675 today!). Mary Lucretia would ride through the poorer parts of Omaha on her carriage pulled by a horse named Billy. She often distributed household items that were needed instead of cash. When Edward Creighton died in 1874, Mary Lucretia used the money she had inherited to carry out his wish to establish what became Creighton University, the first free Catholic college in the United States.
We don't know for certain that the saddle was Mary Lucretia Creighton, but it was included in a student exhibit on the Creighton family in the 1920s and the exhibit stay up until it was taken down in 1937. According to Creighton University Archivist, David Crawford, during that time, it was mentioned several times in the school newspaper that the saddle belonged to or was used by Mary Lucretia, Sarah Emily Creighton, and other female Creightons. According to one such article, the saddle may have been a gift from Edward Creighton to one of his nieces. Mr. Crawford, however, has not been able to corroborate these claims. After the saddle was removed from exhibit, it was stored in an attic from 1934 to 2007. While no one has been able to confirm that the saddle belonged to Mary Lucretia, it nevertheless represents a compelling chapter in Omaha and Creighton University history.
When Mr. Crawford was hired in 2007, he was alerted by several staff to "the saddle in the attic." When he was eventually taken up to see it, he describes it as, "It was stuck against the wall, under the rafters, on a broken metal typing table, covered by an old tarp," as seen in the photo below. As soon as he confirmed that the University Archives could take possession of it, he arranged for it to be brought to the Ford Conservation Center for treatment.
The side-saddle as it was found in the attic.
The Saddle
On the practical side, the saddle is a hoop style side saddle made of a wooden frame, or tree, and covered in vegetable tanned leather. Under the leather are layers of coarse linen, dried plant fiber, and wool padding. The exterior of the seat is covered with black leather that is decorated with simple, straight lines of stitching bordered with scalloped forms.
Under the saddle is a leather and textile saddle pad and a black wool blanket that would have covered the horses flanks on both sides. The off-side, or proper right side of the saddle has a small skirt section of brown leather along with a flap of thicker brown leather that would lie across the horse's side. The near-side of the saddle also has a small skirt of brown leather that is further enhanced with curved, embossed lines and red and black coloring. The brown leather flap on the near-side of the saddle also has curved vine-like embossed lines and circles with red and black decorative elements.
A Sorry State
Overall, the condition of the saddle was poor. The saddle was structurally unsound, with numerous cracks, splits, tears, and wear holes overall. The saddle's leather was suffering from red rot, a condition caused by exposure to sulfur dioxide from pollution that causes the pH of the leather to go very low, destroying the collagen network and greatly weakening the leather.
Both sides of the saddle before treatment showing some of the damage
The largest split followed the entire length of the iron hoop. Other large splits and tears zigzagged throughout the seat, and tended to follow along the stitch lines. A large loss in the leather, measuring approximately twelve inches in length, extended along the entire top edge of the cantle (curved part at the back of the saddle seat). Most of the straps and flaps of the saddle were very weak, as evidenced by areas of leather loss, numerous cracks, and tears. The flap on the off-side of the saddle was in the worst shape, with a large, multi-segmented tear that left a four and one-quarter inch by two inch section barely attached to the rest of the flap. There were numerous additional losses to the pommel and seat of the saddle; along with minor abrasions in the leather over the entire surface of the saddle from use and poor storage conditions. There were spots of discoloration on the leather flaps from exposure to various liquids.

The textile attached to the bottom of the cantle and above the panel was severely frayed with heavy losses. Some evidence of insect infestation was noted when the saddle was brought in, so it was sealed in polyethylene and frozen for two forty-eight hour periods prior to thorough examination. All of the metals associated with the saddle were disfigured with varying levels of surface corrosion. And the surface of the saddle had a heavy layer of soil and dust overall.

Treatment was proposed in order to improve stability and overall appearance of the saddle so that it could be safely stored or displayed and insure the long-term preservation of this important part of Creighton history.
Check back in February and March to find out what treatment steps were carried out and see the impressive Before and After photos!

Multiculturalism and Baseball's Unwritten Rules
Alex Rodriguez is, of course, one of baseball's least popular superstars. He is not unpopular like other players have been, such as another steroid abuser, Barry Bonds, who was reviled everywhere but always well liked in San Francisco. Nor is Rodriguez unpopular on the road, but generally respected as a great player by fans and players around the league, like his teammate Derek Jeter. Rodriguez is despised by fans outside of New York, but Yankee fans themselves have never warmed to A-Rod either. Rodriguez has run afoul of former manager Joe Torre who is still well liked among Yankee fans and team captain Derek Jeter, who is one of the best and most adored players in franchise history. Yankee fans seem to hold A-Rod to extremely high standards, take his impressive achievements for granted and are completely blind to his sacrifices. On a team full of well paid players, Rodriguez' contract seems to bother Yankee fans more than that of any other player.
Rodriguez had not helped the situation because he has developed a gruff style, is often embroiled in controversies that generate negative media attention and has a somewhat aloof manner with teammates and fans. While probably no longer the best player in the game, Rodriguez is still a great player who had contributed a lot to recent Yankee successes, not least being last year's World Championship. Somehow Yankee fans forget this, and the two MVP awards he has won while wearing pinstripes and focus on A-Rod's rough post-seasons from 2005-2007 as the measure of his value as a Yankee.
It has also been completely overlooked that when Rodriguez arrived in New York, despite being the superior shortstop, he moved from shortstop to third, allowing Jeter to remain at shortstop. This move will have an impact on how Rodriguez is viewed by baseball historians, because had he remained at shortstop he would have easily become the best at that position since Honus Wagner and secured his place as the greatest shortstop in American League history. Rodriguez made this transition quietly without raising any problems for the Yankees, but Yankee fans seem unaware of this.
As an unpopular, highly paid player with a nose for trouble, Rodriguez is an easy target for detractors seeking to make him look bad while generating some attention for themselves. The incident involving Oakland Athletics pitcher Dallas Braden a few weeks ago is an example of this. Braden lost his composure and began screaming at Rodriguez because Rodriguez had allegedly broken one of baseball's sacred unwritten rules by walking across the pitcher's mound and touching the rubber on his way back to first base after a foul ball. In the video of the incident, Braden can be seen yelling the words "That's my mound" as he storms off the field after the inning ended. Rodriguez seems puzzled by Braden's outburst, but more significantly, so do Braden's teammates.
Apparently, this unwritten rule is significantly obscure that few people know about it. Rodriguez has a history of what might be generously called quirky, or more accurately obnoxious, behavior on the field, but in this incident, the mistake is clearly Braden's for his overreaction. The expressions on the faces of Braden's teammates make that clear.
In addition to the question of whether Braden or Rodriguez is at fault, the incident also raises another question about the unwritten rules. Implicit in the notion of unwritten rules is that there are one set of unwritten rules which all players should understand. However, as the game becomes more international this assumption seems unlikely to hold up. Just as the language and expressions used in baseball vary regionally and nationally, it is likely that these unwritten rules will as well. For example, the policy of not stealing with a big lead dates back to a time when a five or six run lead seemed insurmountable. Countries where baseball has been introduced recently, during a period of stronger offense, may not view a five or six run lead as insurmountable and may view it as fine to steal in that situation. Similarly, places where baseball has not been played as long may have different views of brushing back hitters because they do not have the traditions of brushback pitches which were common in baseball until recent decades.
It is equally likely that ballplayers from Taiwan, Australia or the Netherlands, whose numbers will likely increase in the near future, will bring their own unwritten rules and either take offense at a seemingly innocent gesture by an American or Dominican player or deeply offend those players by doing something that is considered normal in their own country.
This dynamic is clearly not at play in the Braden-Rodriguez contretemps, as both players grew up in the U.S. However, the event raises questions with which baseball will have to wrestle as it continues to become more international. Baseball is a game of customs, traditions, jargon and, yes, unwritten rules. These will all become less homogenous as baseball continues to become more international with fewer common reference points.

"Mural Painting and the Ancient Americas" goes to the city
Professor Lisa Trever and some students in the seminar "Mural Painting and the Ancient Americas" arrive at the de Young Museum in San Francisco to study and photograph the fragments of ancient murals from Teotihuacan, Mexico on view there in the Harald Wagner collection. With the support of the Digital Humanities at Berkeley initiative and the staff of the Visual Resources Center of the Department of History of Art, the class used specialized equipment to take photographs for panoramic stitching and photogrammetry. Special thanks to Sue Grinols, Director of Photo Services and Imaging, and Dr. Matthew Robb, curator of the Art of the Americas at the de Young, for making this visit possible. Students enrolled in the seminar will use these photographs in the production of their final research projects. The surprisingly traffic-free trip from Berkeley to Golden Gate Park even allowed the group to stop for tea at the Japanese Tea Garden before beginning their photographic work!

Digital Humanities Grants in History of Art
Two projects in the Department of History of Art have received grants from the new Digital Humanities at Berkeley initiative.
Professor Lisa Trever submitted a successful proposal to integrate digital components into her fall 2015 course "Mural Painting and the Ancient Americas." This seminar will explore the traditions of palace, temple, and tomb painting in ancient and pre-Hispanic Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, and the American Southwest, as well as modern and contemporary legacies of mural painting in Latin America and the United States. The Course Development Grant will allow the class to experiment with digital technologies for rendering digital models of ancient murals and for capturing site visits to murals in the Bay Area. This project is supported through the collaboration of digital curators and research specialists in the department's Visual Resources Center and the Archaeological Research Facility.
In addition, Professor Elizabeth Honig and the VRC have received funds from the Digital Humanities initiative to create a repurposable platform that can be used to catalog the works of any visual artist. Built using Drupal, this platform will be made freely available to other scholars. This grant w... [show more]

Dripping or even worse leaking taps are a common feature in many Essex households; in fact, it's the number one plumbing issue in most UK homes.
At best dripping taps are annoying that constant drip, drip, drip can get on your nerves after a while and because of this, we're often called out to repair offending taps.
Very often though dripping taps (or worse leaking taps) are left alone and forgotten about sadly, it's not a high priority for most people but what they don't realise is a dripping tap can waste over 1000 gallons of water a year.
A lot of water and money down the drain even more so if it's a hot tap that's dripping.
Fortunately fixing a leaky tap's inexpensive whether you do it yourself or hire a Plumber. Only attempt to fix the tap yourself if you have good DIY skills and the correct tools do it wrong, and a dripping tap will be the least of your worries.
Firstly ensure you have the correct size washer for your tap.
Switch off the water supply to your tap most taps these days are fitted with tap connectors where you can cut off the water supply at the connector with a flat-headed screwdriver otherwise shut off the water at the mains stopcock.
Undo the headgear nut with an adjustable spanner if it's hard to undo grip the nut underneath the tap with an additional spanner.
Once undone remove the top assembly known as the stem from the tap.
Mixer taps generally use the same mechanism as traditional taps but will have two headgears (one for hot and one for cold) remove both and follow the same process listed above.
Many modern taps utilise a cartridge containing a pair of ceramic discs which eventually will wear out (especially in hard water areas) you will need to install a new cartridge in the tap, if you're not sure what cartridge you need remove it first and take it to your local DIY store to match a replacement one.


Matt Baier: Devastated Over Amber Portwood's Pregnancy News!
by Emily Trainham at November 5, 2017 12:23 pm .
She shared the news on Instagram, saying "I'm very excited for my future with Andrew and our little family we are starting together!"
She also did an interview with Us Weekly in which she explained that "When I first found out, I was a little scared," but "after the initial shock, it was nothing but happy thoughts and just enjoying my time with my boyfriend."
It seems like a very short amount of time to come to terms with all that, but hey, we know that Amber isn't really one to take things slow.
It's also worth mentioning that she met him while filming Marriage Boot Camp, the show she went on to try to save her relationship with Matt Baier.
So there was literally no downtime between Matt and Andrew. And it's not exactly like Andrew was the knight in shining armor who saved her from ol' douchey Matt, either.
Two of Andrew's ex-girlfriends have restraining orders against him, and they've accused him of stalking them.
He's really and truly a creep, and in some ways, he's even worse than Matt.
And hey, since we keep talking about Matt, how do you think he's handling all of this?
Radar Online reached out to him to ask him about the pregnancy news, and it sounds like he wasn't aware of it until they called him -- his first response was apparently "You're kidding."
When he gathered his thoughts, he said "Amber is a great mother. If this is what she wants then I'm extraordinarily happy for her and I wish them nothing but the best."
He also said that while he hasn't talked to her "at all" since their split, he did plan to "text her congratulations."
As for his own life, he said that he's "doing great," and that he's even got a new significant other himself.
It can't be easy for him though -- with as many kids as he has out there and as much as he loved Amber's fame and money, you'd have to imagine that he wanted to be the one to impregnate her.
It's because "Matt has a lot of regret about their breakup," and "he feels like Amber is the one that got away."
"There's still a part of him that was hoping they might eventually get back together, so this pregnancy news hit him hard."
And also because he stole thousands and thousands of dollars from her, and said horrible, humiliating things about her on national television, and tried to control her whole entire life ... the list goes on and on.
So yeah, it's definitely a good thing Amber got away from him and cut ties in such a permanent way.

Rapid-rise yeast has two time-saving advantages over active dry yeast: It does not need to be dissolved in water before mixing, and it requires only one rise after shaping. Simply add the dry yeast to the flour mixture. Heat the liquid ingredients to 120°-130° (rather than 110°-115° for dissolving active dry yeast). In place of the first rise, allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes before shaping. The next rise should take about half the time stated in a recipe that calls for active dry yeast.


Imagine reliving every crappy relationship, every awful decision, and every painful moment you've experienced in love. That's what I am currently going through as I revamp my first book, Love Trips, for republishing. It's been a goal of mine to do so for three years, as I want to add more stories and lessons to the book. Thing is, I kept distracting myself. I couldn't face my love history because it's so damn painful, embarrassing, and cathartic. Here's one story.
It's also a good thing to think about past choices. No dwelling, though; that's not good for anyone. I mean reflecting on past relationships – what we loved about the person and their qualities, how we were treated, what we learned – and then asking ourselves, am I in the same unhealthy relationship? Is it a better relationship? Are my needs being met? Does my partner have the values and traits that my ex had that I loved? Am I repeating similar, hurtful patterns?
1. I manifested a man with Boo's traits (traits I gel with and traits I struggle with) by complaining about the traits of the men that I dated at the time. Lesson here: watch your tongue.
2. I wish I could take pieces of every man that I loved to create my (im)perfect match. Only I can't. Lesson here: Move forward with a greater awareness of what you need to be fulfilled in love.
3. I've been through various emotional rollercoasters, yet I've somehow reinvented myself over and over again. Lesson here: Despite the hurt and relationship stumbles, you can stand strong and queenly.
So, take the last few weeks of 2018 to look back at your journey. Reflect on your past and your current romantic relationship (or situation) and ask yourself, is this enough? Because, my loves, we deserve a whole lot more than a love made up of fragmented memories.
Stay tuned for Love Trips (The Reboot) coming in 2019.


There is something you should know about me. I don't follow directions well. At. all. So when I pulled out my favorite pumpkin pie recipe and realized I should have purchased evaporated milk instead of sweetened condensed milk, well, it didn't really surprise me. And if you know me you'll also not be surprised that I went ahead and made the pie anyhow. The pumpkin pie was so good we fight over the last piece every time.
The other thing you should know about me is that I tend to be a perfectionist. Especially with a recipe. I've now not followed the directions five times in an effort to make the best pumpkin pie imaginable. And somebody really should benefit from all that sacrifice!
Preheat the oven to 325. Line a 9 inch pie plate with the unbaked crust.
Mix the eggs, brown sugar, pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, and butter together in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients. Stir the spices into the pumpkin mixture.
Pour the pumpkin into the pie crust and bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set. Cool completely before serving.
**Also, please note that these Paula Deen pie plates have high sides. If you are using a normal, shorter-sided pie plate this recipe will likely make two pies. Either bake them both now, or store the extra filling in the freezer. Bake for 40-45 minutes.
If you're interested in not following directions yourself, here is the original recipe I sort of used!
Oh! I wish I had known! I don't follow directions well either and always add way more cinnamon than the recipe calls for. Last thanksgiving, I made the same mistake, bought sweetened condensed milk instead of evaporate milk. But, I let my lack of confidence play in and ran back to the store later for the condensed milk, thinking it wouldn't have worked with what I had on hand. I wish I had found this post before! Thanks for sharing your recipe, I love it, sounds delicious! Way to go for your persistence!

Medical Schools In Arizona: Have you ever wondered what is it with The Grand Canyon State that made it one of the sorts after state for medical students?
Well, you don't need to wander far as the reason is very simple.
Annually, medical students choose the medical schools in Arizona for one of these two reasons; one being that, Arizona medical schools are quite competitive, good, and produce a number of fantastic doctors every year.
The second is the location and the weather. Put simply, students want to go to a medical school that is in a great place and the cost of living is quite low too.
This does not include the fact that one of the world's best medical schools has a campus in this state; Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine.
More so, out of the five best medical schools in Arizona, two are osteopathic and the other three are allopathic.
That being said, applicants face fierce competition when applying to any of the schools.
If you are an ardent follower of our articles you will know that we try to help our readers understand what they are going to face when applying to any school.
Thus, in this article, Our goals are simple; to help you understand the standards you'll need to meet as an Arizona medical school applicant and to provide helpful strategies so you can craft an outstanding application.
Without further Ado, let's start by answering the question what are Arizona medical school requirements?
When you choose a career in medicine, you know that you have to put in a lot of hard work and inevitably a lot of studies.
But in the end, all your efforts will be worth it. After all, the medical profession is one of the noblest and most rewarding professions in the world.
Applying for a medical degree is not something to be done superficially. You need to choose your medical school wisely.
In the US, medical degrees are considered second degrees, which means you cannot enroll directly for a Bachelor of Medicine.
You must first earn a bachelor's degree in a related science subject (biology and chemistry are the most common) before you can apply to study medicine. Then you can enroll in a medical degree, which usually lasts 4 years.
Here are some of the general Arizona Medical School Requirements that are consistent with what is acceptable in other medical schools in the country.
Undergraduate degree in the field of Sciences (3-4 years)
Minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0
Good TOEFL language scores
Minimum MCAT exam result (set by each university individually)
Some American med schools have additional requirements, like completing premedical courses, such as:
College Biology with laboratory, one year
General college chemistry with laboratory, one year
Biology, Chemistry – minimum of 24 semester hours in areas of Humanities
Mathematics (Calculus and/or Statistics, one year (6-8 semester hours)
General college physics with laboratory, one year (8 semester hours)
If are wondering what is MCAT see this article What Is A Good MCAT Score? | See The Breakdown On How to Get It
Medical schools in Arizona accept students with a wide range of GPA and MCAT results. Therefore, be honest with yourself when assessing your level of competitiveness.
Are your MCAT and GPA close to the accepted Arizona Medical Schools Requirements?
If not, consider retaking your MCAT or improving your GPA.
Two very prestigious medical schools have their campuses in Arizona: the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine and the University of Arizona-Tucson.

The Mayo Clinic is ranked in the top ten medical schools for research according to US News and World Report.
The University of Arizona-Tucson is also a highly respected institution offering an MD / PhD track.
Don't forget to inquire about additional diplomas and programs offered at each institution. If you're interested in something like an MD / Ph.D. or MPH, make a list of potential schools and review their application processes.
For some dual study programs, you must apply at the same time as you apply for the MD; for other study programs, you can apply for a dual study program after admission or in the first year.
Now you know how to get accepted into any of the Arizona MD schools, let's list the best Arizona medical schools.
Are you asking what is the best medical school in Arizona? Well, there are actually 5 medical schools in Arizona namely;
University of Arizona – Tucson
University of Arizona- Phoenix

Q: radixSort java Implement using distribution sort RadixSort using distribution sort
I need some help to implement Radix Sort algorithm using the distribution counting sort, i know what i need to do but i don't know how.
below you can find my code, i'm having trouble to associate the less significant digits to the String where those digits come from in order to sort the input array.
public class RadixSort {
        public static void radixSort(String[] a, int w) {
            //throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
            // read LSD decimal digits or letter
            StringBuilder aux = new StringBuilder();
            int i = 0, j = w - 1;
            while (i < a.length) {
                char pointer;
                pointer = a[i++].charAt(j);
                aux.append(pointer);
            }

            // count occurrences of LSD decimal digits or letters and stores in frequency array (f)
            String d = new String(aux);
            int[] f = new int[('9' - '0' + 1) + ('z' - 'a' + 1)];
            int character;
            for (int k = 0; k < d.length(); k++) {
                character = d.charAt(k);
                if (character >= '0' && character <= '9') character -= '0';
                else if (character >= 'a' && character <= 'z') character -= 'W';
                f[character] += 1;
            }

            // calculate distribution of frequency array (f)
            for (int k = 0; k < f.length; k++) {
                if (k != f.length - 1)
                    f[k + 1] = f[k] + f[k + 1];
            }

            // calculate Sort array from last distribution array
            String[] s = new String[a.length];
            int index = 0;
            for (int k = 0; k < f.length; k++) {
                if (d.charAt(index) - '0' == k) {
                    f[k] = f[k] - 1;
                    index++;
                }
            }
        }

        public static void main(String[] args) {
            String[] a = {"461", "852", "211", "108"};
            radixSort(a, 3);
            System.out.println();
        }
    }

A: Key point: After calculating distribution of freqeuncy array, f[i] has number of strings which has digit that is less than or equal to i. Let's say we have to sort "461", "852", "211", "108" and we are currently looking to least significant digit. Then f[1] == 2 ("461", "211"), f[2] == 3 ("461", 852", "211"), and f[8] == 4 ("461", 852", "211", "108"). Therefore, in the sorted array, strings which has digit of i should be f[i-1] + 1th ~ f[i]th element in the sorted array.
There are two ways to implement this.

*

*Look string from forwards, put string which has digit of i into f[i-1] + 1th element of sorted array, and then increment f[i-1]. (for 0, f[-1] = 0)

*Look string from backwards, put string which has digit of i into f[i]th element of sorted array, and then decrement f[i].

I'll use the second approach because I don't want to handle 0.
public class RadixSort {
    public static void radixSort(String[] a, int w) {
        // sort finished if w == 0
        if (w == 0) {
            return;
        }

        while (i < a.length) {

No. 21 Oregon State edges No. 9 Oregon, clearing way for USC vs. Utah rematch in Pac-12 Championship Game
Surprising results in the Pac-12 to close out the regular season shook up the conference title game picture
By Shehan Jeyarajah
Nov 27, 2022 at 2:34 am ET • 2 min read
USATSI
No. 9 Oregon squandered a trip to the Pac-12 Championship Game after losing 38-34 to rival No. 21 Oregon State as the Beavers pulled off a miraculous comeback. No. 14 Utah, with its 63-21 win over Colorado coupled with No. 13 Washington's Apple Cup victory, jumped past the Ducks thanks to conference tiebreaker rules and will play No. 6 USC in Las Vegas. The title game will serve as a rematch of a 43-42 victory for the Utes on Oct. 15.
The Ducks could have clinched a title game berth with a win over their rival, but Washington's win over Washington State bumped the Huskies into a three-way tie with the Ducks and Utes. The tiebreaker rules gave Utah the three-way advantage due to a better strength of schedule. The Ducks will have a long offseason to think about their loss after giving up a massive lead.
Oregon State trailed 31-10 in the third quarter but finished the game on a 28-3 run down the stretch to beat its rival for just the third time since 2008. The Beavers' passing game struggled, but a dominant running performance helped make up the gap. Running back Damien Martinez, one of the best freshmen players in America, toted the ball 15 times for 103 yards to lead a Beavers rushing effort that posted 268 yards and five touchdowns. Freshman quarterback Ben Gulbranson completed just six passes and threw two interceptions in the win.
Oregon quarterback Bo Nix had another strong game with 327 yards passing and two touchdowns, but the Ducks failed to convert in key situations. The Ducks settled for a field goal at the beginning of the fourth quarter at the Oregon State 6-yard line and muffed a punt at the 2-yard line to set up another Beavers score. Nix made a wrong decision on a fourth-and-1 zone read and was stopped for a turnover on downs.
Nix had one last chance to throw a game-winner into the end zone, but his pass on fourth-and-goal from the 3-yard line fell harmlessly into the end zone. Oregon State was able to get a first down and run out the clock.
The win clinches a 9-3 season for Oregon State, which is the best since former coach Mike Riley led the Beavers to a 9-4 campaign in 2012. If Oregon State can win a bowl game, the Beavers could put together a 10-win campaign for the first time since 2006.
The Pac-12 Championship Game features No. 6 USC facing off against No. 14 Utah in Las Vegas at 8 p.m. ET on Friday. With a win, the Trojans can likely earn their first trip to the College Football Playoff. The Utes will try to win their second consecutive conference championship after entering the season as betting favorites.

Ex-Bacco chef opening SheWolf pasta restaurant in Midtown
Mark Kurlyandchik
When former Bacco Chef Anthony Lombardo opens SheWolf Pastificio & Bar on the ground floor of the Selden building in Midtown early next year, Detroit will become home to one of only a few restaurants in the country that mill their own flour for house-made pasta.
"When most flour is milled in an industrial aspect where it's shipped across the country or even from Italy you have to add preservatives," Lombardo, 35, said. "When grains are milled fresh, they have these delicious nutrients and oils in them that go rancid if you leave them out at room temperature for too long.
"You take grains and mill them fresh, you preserve all the acids and nutrients that are in there. It's delicious. If you make the pasta fresh you don't have to worry about it going bad, and it changes the flavor profile of the pasta."
Lombardo said the flour will be made from heritage, non-GMO grains mostly from Michigan, Arizona and Italy.
The restaurant's name is both a reference to the Roman origin myth – in which a female wolf nurses the abandoned infant founder of Rome and his twin brother until their rescue – as well as the level of care SheWolf will take in crafting its house-made pasta. "Pastificio" means "pasta factory" in Italian.
Lombardo, a Sterling Heights native of Italian descent, has spent plenty of time traveling, eating and cooking around the Boot. After earning a culinary degree in 2004 from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y., the young chef studied butchery at a salumeria in Italy's Piedmont region and worked at the Michelin-starred Villa Maiella Ristorante, living in the country for two years and learning to speak fluent Italian in the process.
Though still relatively unknown to the wider dining public in his home state, Lombardo became a rising star in the Washington, D.C., culinary world following his Italian sojourn. He earned three stars from the Washington Post during his tenure running the kitchen at Georgetown's 1789 Restaurant and then went on to helm the behemoth Hamilton restaurant, overseeing a kitchen staff of more than 100. He returned to the Detroit area last year as executive chef of Bacco Ristorante in Southfield – a post he left this summer to focus on SheWolf.

"Growing up in Sterling Heights, I've never seen a renaissance like what's happening in Detroit," Lombardo said. "I just wanted to be a part of it. I could probably open a successful restaurant in D.C., but Detroit is where my heart is."
SheWolf will take up approximately 3,300 square feet on the ground floor of the currently under-construction Selden building at 435 Selden, around the corner from 2015 Free Press Restaurant of the Year Selden Standard.
Though the design by Ron & Roman architects hasn't been finalized, Lombardo said the Roman-inspired modern Italian restaurant will seat approximately 80 diners who'll be treated to a special view.
"There will be a glass-enclosed pasta room where we mill all our flour and extrude all of our heritage-grain pastas that we're making," Lombardo, 35, said. "Someone will be in there making pasta every hour of the day."
The focus for the bar side will be Italian wines from lesser-known regions and aperitivo-style low-ABV cocktails (think: spritzes and Vermouth-based drinks).
Fellow Sterling Heights native Marc Camaj recently left his post working for Andrew Carmellini's NoHo restaurant group in New York and will serve as SheWolf's chef de cuisine.
While the restaurant isn't set to open until early 2018, Lombardo will be previewing the SheWolf menu and concept at 2017 Freep Restaurant of the Year Mabel Gray in Hazel Park during Thanksgiving week. Lombardo and Mabel Gray chef-owner James Rigato worked together previously at Bacco and at numerous events.
On Nov. 21-22 and 24-25, Mabel will transform into SheWolf while Rigato is out of town. Lombardo will be running the show and will serve an a la carte menu as well as a five-course pasta tasting menu for $65. Reservations are highly recommended and can be made by calling Mabel Gray: 248-398-4300.

"The role of P2 receptors in controlling infections by intracellular pa" by Robson Coutinho-Silva, Christiane Monteiro da Cruz et al.
A growing number of studies have demonstrated the importance of ATPe-signalling via P2 receptors as an important component of the inflammatory response to infection. More recent studies have shown that ATPe can also have a direct effect on infection by intracellular pathogens, by modulating membrane trafficking in cells that contain vacuoles that harbour intracellular pathogens, such as mycobacteria and chlamydiae. A conserved mechanism appears to be involved in controlling infection by both of these pathogens, as a role for phospholipase D in inducing fusion between lysosomes and the vacuoles has been demonstrated. Other P2-dependent mechanisms are most likely operative in the cases of pathogens, such as Leishmania, which survive in an acidic phagolysosomal-like compartment. ATPee may function as a 'danger signal–that alerts the immune system to the presence of intracellular pathogens that damage the host cell, while different intracellular pathogens have evolved enzymes or other mechanisms to inhibit ATPe-mediated signalling, which should, thus, be viewed as virulence factors for these pathogens.
