FORGET apples or antibacterial hand gel, because five cups of tea a day are the latest way to keep the doctor at bay.
The Dutch health council claims that three to five cups of tea per day can protect you from strokes, diabetes and high blood pressure.
But the tea must be green or black, as herbal teas and the rooibos variety do not count.
"Other studies agree that daily tea consumption in this range are likely to have a positive impact on heart health," said Tim Bond, a member of the Tea Advisory Panel.

Rancho Santa Fe student leads successful book drive for African Library Project
Bela Gowda, a Rancho Santa Fe seventh grader at the Bishop's School, donated 1,000 books and $500 to The African Library Project.
By Karen Billing
Rancho Santa Fe 12-year-old Bela Gowda shared the gift of reading with African children through her grassroots book drive for The African Library Project. Over a year-long effort, The Bishop's School seventh grader collected 1,000 books and $500 in donations to provide books and build a rural community library for school children in Ghana.
"I knew it would be a lot of work when I started," Bela said. "I was excited when I actually finished it."
Bela sent 35 boxes of books from the Rancho Santa Fe Post Office on Jan. 19 to the organization's warehouse in New Orleans. The African Library Project will make shipments out to Ghana in February and Bela's books will help stock the shelves at the Masi Anfoe School.
According to the African Library Project, most African children grow up without books and many African educators teach reading, writing, math and English without a single book to use as a resource. Africa has the highest percentage of illiteracy in the world and books are the key to increasing literacy and helping people out of poverty.
Since 2005, the African Library Project has donated over 2.6 million books and completed 2,585 libraries in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Cameroon, Lesotho, Nigeria, Botswana, Swaziland, Malawi, Ghana, South Africa, Sierra Leone and Kenya.

While Bela has done other community service projects, such as volunteering at the San Diego Food Bank and Ronald McDonald House, this is the first big project she's done by herself. Bela said she was inspired to take on the book drive by her mom Shilpi. Shilpi is the author of the award-winning and best-selling novels "The Golden Son" and "Secret Daughter"— her third novel "The Seekers" is slated for publication by William Morrow Books this year.
Mom and daughter read a book together nearly every night before bed and often take trips to the local library.
"I love reading and I thought it would be really cool for others to experience that too," Bela said.
Bela sought donations for over a year. She sold homemade cookies for a $1 in the Rancho Santa Fe village and at her birthday party in May she asked for donations instead of gifts. She contacted the Library Guild of Rancho Santa Fe's Books Cellar, which donated about 400 books to her cause. During the holidays, Bela sent emails out to neighbors asking for contributions of books and those who donated were rewarded with fresh-baked loaves of bread.
Once she had collected the books and funds required, Bela's family members helped her with the large task of packing up all of the boxes to mail. As an extra touch, Bela added photos and notes to the boxes of books to personalize them, "so the students can see where they came from," Bela said.
In her first big effort Bela collected over 1,000 books but shipped just 1,000 this time—she is already making plans for her next drive.

Police arrest two more men in killing of 16-year-old boy
On Oct. 16, Santa Cruz High School student Tyler Tenorio was stabbed multiple times in the upper torso near the corner of Chestnut and Laurel streets.
Investigators believe that prior to the stabbing, a group of gang members had yelled gang slogans and territorial claims at Tenorio and his friends as they drove on Laurel Street toward Myrtle Street. Tenorio and his friends pulled around the corner and confronted the gang members.
Witnesses told police that Tenorio was engaged in an argument with a group of males before one of them stabbed him.
At about 1 p.m. Tuesday, Pasqual Reyes, a 21-year-old suspected gang member from Live Oak, was arrested in connection with the death of Tenorio, according to police.
Reyes, who was already in custody in Santa Cruz County jail on a weapons charge, was linked to the homicide via forensic evidence, tips and witness information, police said.
Later Tuesday evening, Walter Escalante, a 24-year-old suspected gang member from Watsonville, was also arrested in connection with Tenorio's death.
Escalante was taken into custody by Watsonville police on an unrelated probation violation before it was later determined he was also wanted for the homicide, according to police.
Escalante was linked to the scene of the murder by forensic evidence and witness statements, police said.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have determined that Escalante is in the country illegally, according to police.
A third suspect, Daniel Onesto, a 20-year-old Santa Cruz man, had also been arrested in the days after the murder and remains in custody, police said.
The fourth suspect, Paulo Luna, 23, is believed to have fled to Mexico late last year. ICE agents are working with Mexican authorities to locate and arrest Luna, according to police.
The two arrests this week were "a significant step toward justice," Santa Cruz Police Chief Howard Skerry said in a statement.
"But we recognize we owe it to this family, and every other family of a homicide victim, to not rest until everyone responsible is in custody," Skerry said.
Anyone with information about the case is urged to contact the Santa Cruz Police Department's investigations section at (831) 420-5820 or the anonymous tip line at (831) 420-5995.

Red Herring: Whoville struggling with post-war existentialism
By By Orion Archibald
By Orion Archibald
Fifty years after world-famous journalist and author Theodore Seuss traveled to Whoville to report firsthand the story of the thieving Grinch, much has changed in that sleepy town in that snowy valley. The oil crisis of the '70s hit the town hard and many working Whos were forced to leave when the local steel-smelting plant shut down. Today, the town is suffering from problems caused by increased immigration, a tight labor market, and many reservist Whos who fought overseas after Sept. 11 and came home profoundly changed. Have the Whos retained their fearlessly optimistic and long-suffering attitude? In the year 2007, do all the Whos in Whoville still like Christmas a lot?
"The biggest shock for me was finding out that the Whoville I'd known as a kid, from the Dr. Seuss book, didn't exist anymore," said James Pinkerton, a cultural historian and author in Whoville for research. "It was such a magical place back then and to see it the way it is now is really heartbreaking. I'm not even sure if this place was ever like Seuss said it was. He might have been making it all up, for all I can tell."
Pinkerton's findings, which are set to be published next week in a book called Two Sizes Too Small: An American Tragedy 1957-2007, shed sordid light on the town which was the subject of Dr. Seuss' work. Using census figures, official documents and personal interviews with many Whos featured in Dr. Seuss' work, Pinkerton charts the path of the small village from its heyday in the mid-'50s to the present day.
"The history of the town reflects, in a smaller way, the changes that washed over America during the '60s and '70s," Pinkerton said.
Opening up a photo album of the late Cindy Lou Who, a famous figure from the book who died last year of breast cancer, Pinkerton points to a series of photographs showing young male Whos returning from Vietnam. One had lost his left arm below the elbow and another was in a wheelchair, his faced raked with shrapnel.
"Vietnam and the end of the '60s were generally the beginning of the time of troubles for Whoville," Pinkerton wrote. "Things were never quite the same."
What followed the turmoil and disillusionment of the Vietnam era was a long, slow decline of the economic fortunes of the city.
"In the '70s, the oil crisis made the already steep utility bills during the winter practically intolerable for all but the richest Whos," Pinkerton wrote. "This led to an ugly confrontation at City Hall over subsidizing the heating costs of the city, which led to a riot that burned down the local fuel depot and several of the Whos' homes. That was probably rock bottom for Whoville."
The '80s were no better. Drug abuse climbed alarmingly during this time, with many Whos losing custody of their children and some, their lives. It was during this time that the Grinch, who had long reverted to his old ways, was found frozen stiff in the forest outside of town.
Pinkerton reveals in his book that, "The autopsy revealed a blood alcohol level 10 times the legal limit. The Grinch probably drank himself into oblivion. Of course, the official story was that his heart was too big for his rib cage, but that was probably just to satisfy an anxious and already depressed public."
Recent times have brought new challenges to the town. The rise of immigration — both legal and illegal — has led to a Whos for Whoville movement which draws support from the working-class housing projects by the freeway. Racially-motivated violence against African-American and Hispanic Whos has spiked alarmingly in recent years, and last year the mayor told a reporter during a press conference that "We must stop the s***s from coming, but how?"
Despite the awfulness of the situation, Pinkerton said he is hopeful that some good might come of it yet.
"Even though Whoville has not lived up to its idyllic past, perhaps, it can continue the tradition of Christmas in providing us with the gift of understanding and reflection — or perhaps this is just a downer of a story for the holiday season," he said. "Regardless, it's something to think deeply about when you're slicing the roast beast."

A country with one of the richest cultural heritage and geographical diversity, China. This world's largest democracy is spread over a vast area rich in tourism resources. It comes out in front of the world with scenic spots and historical sites, spectacular landscape, and varied national customs and tantalizing food culture. With one of the strongest and ever-growing economy, China is increasingly becoming a place to be. The change it has gone through in the last few decades is immense and is the reason why it is now the third most visited country in the world today. The most populated country in the world, China speaks 2 major languages. Mandarin which is spoken by 90 percent of the people and Cantonese. Even though officially declared as an atheist state, most Chinese people find their religious roots in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. The oldest civilization in the world has now become the most-watched and hottest markets for both industrialisation and tourism. With around 65 million tourists arriving Chinese shores each year, the importance of China in world tourism is almost unmatched.
Cities like Beijing and Shanghai have become the melting pot for various world cultures to come together. Almost all of the densely packed Chinese cities are aptly situated around or in the vicinity of great natural beauty or spectacles. They also offer an incredible taste bud satisfying range of Chinese food that one must see and try.
The 4000-mile long The Great Wall of China is the most well-known and most visited site. It is not only the greatest thing ever built by man but also the only man-made structure that can be clearly seen from space.
One must visit China during the festive period of the Chinese New Year to truly enjoy and revel in the hospitality. In 2018 Chinese New Year will fall on Feb. 16. Chinese New Year, also called Spring Festival, has more than 4,000 years of history. It is the grandest and the most important annual event for Chinese people.Incredible firecracker shows to street processions of massive colourful dragons and other animals is a treat to any eye. The Chinese New Year feasts are one of the biggest and elaborate festive feasts in the world.
China is the largest producer and exporter of consumer goods, due to which it boasts an ever-growing shopping tourism. High-quality products at cheap prices has resulted in shoppers from around the globe to visit China throughout the year, for both fashion and tech goods.
Thanks to global movie stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, China is widely known and recognised in the world for its distinctive style of martial arts called Kung Fu. Shaolin Temple, the birthplace of Kung Fu still stands today, where thousands of monks and young students train themselves every day. Movie fans and Kung Fu enthusiasts consider this temple as a must-visit on their trip.
April and May, September and October is the best time to visit China. Places like Xinjiang, which are normally blazing hot in the summer and still a bit too cold in spring, are in perfect season. Same goes for Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and all of the other major tourist cities.
The ancient philosopher Lao Tzu once said of China: "A good traveller has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving." What he probably meant was that China has so many distractions, so many attractions, travellers often forget their destination. That's true even today.
China has been on my list for a while. It is one of the places though I would love to visit with a local. I think that would give me a much better understanding of the country and how people live there. Great to know what the best times of year are to visit, I will keep that in mind!
China is a very intriguing and fascinating country. There is much more to it than the Great Wall of China. I have been fascinated by the culture and history of China. The forbidden city is a place that appeals to me and I hope to see it some day.
You have made this trip look SO beautiful. I do want to see China, badly!
Yes!! China is incredible and September is the best time. I visiting Shaanxi Province in September and got the whole gambit of weather without tons of tourist.

Three talking points from Wednesday's Champions League games
Home » Top stories » Three talking points from Wednesday's Champions League games
By Scott Morris Last Updated: December 13, 2019 12:42 pm
A somewhat lacklustre night
With little to play for across the Champions League on Wednesday, it was somewhat of a lacklustre night, but there were some big talking points.
A lot of teams had already sealed their fate ahead of Wednesday's games, with just Atalanta and Atletico Madrid securing their places in the knockout stages tonight.
The former beat Shakhtar Donetsk 3-0 to clinch their place in the next stage.
Atletico Madrid also beat Lokomotiv Moscow comfortably 2-0, despite Kieran Trippier missing a penalty.
Gabriel Jesus scored a hat-trick for Manchester City during their 4-1 win over Dinamo Zagreb, while fellow Premier League club Tottenham were beaten 3-1 by Bayern.
Real Madrid made hard work of beating Club Brugge, while Juventus pushed past Bayer Leverkusen after goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Gonzalo Higuain.
Olympiacos beat Red Star 1-0, as Paris Saint-Germain swept Galatasaray aside with a 5-0 win.
Here are three talking points from tonight's football.
Sessegnon makes history for Spurs
What a night it's been for Ryan Sessegnon.
The Englishman was rewarded with his full debut against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, and made the most of it.
Starting the game was enough of an honour, but it was Sessegnon's performance which broke records.
At 19 years & 207 days old, Sessegnon is now Tottenham's youngest ever Champions League goalscorer.
A ball from Giovani Lo Celso fell to Sessegnon to the left of Manuel Neuer's goal, with the winger controlling and smashing the ball past the German goalkeeper.
Dele Alli was the previous holder of the record, scoring when he was 20 years & 240 days old.
You never know, Sessegnon's goal could have put him in contention for a start against Wolves at the weekend.
Not a bad way to mark your first Champions League start…
Ryan Sessegnon slams the ball home to level for Tottenham!

Neymar getting back to his best
It's been a very difficult start to the season for Neymar.
The Brazilian was heavily linked with a move away from Paris Saint-Germain over the summer, with rumours of a return to Barcelona.
That saw the PSG fans turn against him, before a ball had even been kicked this season.
Neymar then struggled with his fitness, and injuries started to kick in.
However, having recently overcome his problems, Neymar is now slowly getting back to his best.
After scoring against Galatasaray tonight, Neymar has now scored in three consecutive games.
He had previously scored against FC Nantes and Montpellier in Ligue 1.
Neymar also grabbed himself two assists against Galatasaray, assisting Pablo Sarabia and Kylian Mbappe with a superb through ball.
He even gave a penalty to teammate Edinson Cavani late on in the game.
If he continues this fine form, maybe the PSG fans will start to forgive him!

Manuel Neuer finds a new position
If there's one thing we know about Manuel Neuer, it's that he loves to leave his area.
The sweeper-keeper may now be a trend at many top clubs, but Neuer continues to challenge the boundaries of a goalkeeper.
Against Tottenham tonight, Neuer was his usual self, coming out to thwart Jose Mourinho's side on several occasions.
However, there was one image that circulated social media, and it's an amusing one.
Neuer found himself in possession of the ball in left midfield, with a full bank of four defenders behind him!
Some things just never change.

Church of the Savior on the Spilled Blood
The Church of the Savior on the Spilled Blood was built at the order of Alexander III and the decision of the Synod in 1907 on the spot where Alexander II of Russia was murdered. The Church was built as a national memorial to Alexander II. From 1930 to 1970 the church was used as a warehouse that caused significant damage to the decoration of the church. In 1970 the church became a branch of the museum of Saint Isaac Cathedral. In 1997 basic restoration works were completed and the church was returned to its status of memorial and was opened to the public. The Church of the Savior on the Blood is an example of the late evolution of "Russian style". The building itself represents all the styles of Russian Orthodox Cathedral architecture of the early 17th century.

MSO8358 - Military Camp on Treborough Common (Monument)
A World War II American military camp was seen as cropmarks and mapped from aerial photographs. The camp was occupied for a short time before the D-Day landings in 1944.
MILITARY CAMP (AD 20th Century - 1939 AD to 1945 AD (Unclassified))
Principal Archaeological Landscape 44: West Somerset Mineral Railway and associated mineworkings
A World War II military camp was seen as cropmarks and mapped from aerial photographs. The camp, centred at ST 0045 3504 covers an area 450 metres long by 320 metres wide. [1] The area in question is now improved pasture, and was not enclosed until after 1947. There appears to be no remains of the camp, which was probably mostly tented accommodation: it was an American army camp, occupied for a short time prior to the D-day landings in 1944. Immediately to the North-East of the triangular pillar on the Common at ST 0048 3512 is a rectangular water tank which presumably postdates the military activity. [2] The camp is visible on aerial photographs from 1946 and consists of a roughly rectangular enclosed area surrounded by a temporary wall or low bank. Within the enclosure, parch marks from eight double rows of circular tents can be distinguished, with roads or paths between each row. Several larger, rectangular structures can also be seen which may have been shower blocks or similar. [3]

Q&A: Alouettes GM Kavis Reed discusses the release of Johnny Manziel
The Montreal Alouettes were directed by the CFL to release quarterback Johnny Manziel after it was found that he contravened the agreement which made him eligible to play in the league.
Als general manager Kavis Reed met with the media in Montreal to discuss the situation surrounding Manziel.
Question: How long had the potential release of Manziel been possible?
Reed: This has been a process, something that started in the off-season and we've had some time to deliberate with this and see where it would go.
Q: What brought about the release?
Reed: Mr. Manziel violated one of the conditions of his agreement with the league to be instated in the CFL. The conditions of Mr. Manziel participating in the CFL has been confidential and will remain confidential. If you would want to direct those questions to the league that would be great.
Q: If the league would not have intervened would you have let Manziel go?
Reed: No sir. Mr. Manziel's performance on the field showed that he had a very good upside, but Mr. Manziel violated a term and we all understood those terms and we have to be compliant with it. We're not at liberty to discuss those terms and the league would be more able to address that.
Q: Do you expect the league to give you compensation back from the trade?
Reed: When we made the decision to make the trade for Mr. Manziel we knew the risks that went with it. We felt that we did our due diligence. We felt based on the information coming from Hamilton and by the league that Mr. Manziel was compliant with all conditions and we made the decision to go with that.
Q: How do you feel about trading for Manziel now that he's been barred from the league?
Reed: We made that decision at the time because we felt Mr. Manziel would make our football team better. Our situation at quarterback had us with one quarterback on the roster. His relationship with coach [Mike] Sherman, the information that we had gathered over the year, pointed us in that direction. We're going to be aggressive to try to win football games and there's not going to be an apology for making a decision which we felt was good for our team. In the business of sports it is about doing what is right for winning football games, there is not going to be an embarrassment for making a decision that we felt was vetted and would allow ourselves the opportunity to win football games.
Q: How vetted was the decision because we had heard that he was still partying and missed team meetings during training camp?
Reed: 99 per cent of the players will have a social life and we're not going to expect anyone to live in a test tube or in a bubble. We made a decision based on what we understood and knew. I think that we made the right decision at the time. We took an educated risk and it did not work out.
Q: Where you aware that the release could unfold when free agency started?
Reed: We were familiar with the process and we made some very good decisions in free agency, this would not have changed our path in free agency and we're comfortable with where we have our football team right now. We have tremendous quarterback competition coming into training camp, we feel the position is stable, we feel that out of those four individuals that someone is going to emerge as our starting quarterback.
Q: Did Manziel want to be released to purse playing opportunities in the United States?
Reed: Johnny Manziel never gave any indication of that, during that whole process that wasn't a part of it. Mr. Manziel violated a condition of the agreement with the league. Mr. Manziel was given opportunities to be able to rectify the situation and chose not to. This was not a part of the understanding, the league and our team put a lot of infrastructure in place for Mr. Manziel to be successful and it did not work out.
Q: Is it unusual that a commissioner can make that decision for a team?
Reed: No. Our commissioner has done a tremendous job for our league in terms or protecting the brand. Our league has done what we feel is accurate and correct.
Q: Just to be clear, when did you find out that the league could potentially force the Alouettes to release Manziel?
Reed: This was prior to free agency.
Q: Did you ask Manziel to restructure his contract?
Reed: No. Never.
Q: When Antonio Pipkin played near the end of last season, was it because the team was preparing for Manziel to possibly be released?
Reed: We were preparing as a franchise who hadn't had an established franchise quarterback for a number of years. We never one time said Johnny Manziel was our franchise quarterback. We never put all our stock in Johnny Manziel. That was not prudent.
Q: When was the last time you spoke to Manziel?
Reed: Probably about two weeks ago.


Lois Yoshida demonstrates sumi painting for visitors during the Tacoma Studio Tour.
It might be hard to convince you on a day like today but fall is a little over a month away and that gets our minds thinking about Tacoma Arts Month. What is Tacoma Arts Month? It's the entire month of October chock-full of hundreds of arts and cultural activities for you to participate in including music, dance and theater performances; visual art exhibits; literary readings; lectures; workshops; film screenings and cultural events. Tacoma Arts Month is dedicated to showing off the very best about our community and we want you to be a part of it. Come see how the arts are at work in Tacoma!
One of the signature events that takes place in October is the Tacoma Studio Tour. This year's tour features 57 artists and collaborative studios and allows the general public the opportunity to see the spaces in and tools with which local artists create their work, ask questions, and purchase one-of-a-kind creations. All studios will feature demonstrations of the artistic process or will have hands-on activities for visitors.
Inspired by natural elements, mid-century design, and rich urban textures, Leah Fitts creates original paintings using acrylics, charcoal, and other mixed media. She paints to express herself and forge connections with those who view her work. Allowing spontaneity and intuition to guide her, Leah's abstract paintings represent a personal journey – thoughts and emotions captured on canvas and expressed through bold color, strong composition, and interesting textures and shapes.
Anne Elrod has been creating art for the last 20 years. Her work is in private collections in Washington, California, Hawaii, Alabama, and Norway. Her passion is color, texture, and what if? One of her axioms is painted on her studio wall: "I've never met a color I didn't like", along with Winston Churchill's wise quote: "never, never, never give up" and Goethe's: "begin!" Anne believes that creativity is in everything and everyone.
"Out of the ashes and forged by flame… Art is created and life reclaimed" L. Lisa Lawrence fell in love with the way fire transformed earth and minerals into pottery, glaze, and glass in art class in Junior High School. Located in a once-abandoned 100-year-old home on Tacoma's Hilltop, Phoenix Rising Pottery Studio is now an urban farm helping to feed the local community and an art studio where earth and minerals are reborn into art.
Ann Darling is an award winning, but not famous (outside of clients, family & friends!), custom clothing and accessories maker. After working in the health care field for many years she delights in walking into her studio each day to create items people can wear. Recently, a foray into computer printing images on fabric has opened new avenues for adventures with fabrics created from her own designs.
Retha Hayward owns and manages three of the studios at Manitou Art Center, operates the White Dove Gallery, teaches fused and stained glass and mosaics, is Artist in Residence for Empty Bowls, and serves on the Lakewood Arts Commission. She shares her passion for art with the community, promoting and showcasing local artists and serving as adviser/instructor to many organizations.
Originally from Vancouver, B.C., Karen Utter has always lived in the Pacific Northwest. The area has strongly influenced her imagery and color choices. Karen works in several mediums but recently chose to make a series of collages, some with Asian-style imagery and others based on nature and music. Painted and handmade papers, linocuts, charcoal, ink, and oil pastels will be featured during the Tacoma Studio Tour.


Cole Bellamy, the "Gentleman Photographer" comes from a long family tradition in the arts. At age eleven, he discovered his grandfather's 4x5 film camera and saw his first print magically appear in a tray. He was hooked, and he's been following his passion ever since. Cole's style combines his natural artistic sense with a high level of technical skill and abundant experience, and his joy for the craft shows in his work, from corporate events to social events and portraiture. On weekdays, Cole can also be found at E.P. Levine, where his knowledge and expertise about photography and camera equipment, along with his friendly, outgoing personality, make him renowned in the industry, and greatly relied upon by his fellow professionals.


If you like to sketch out ideas while on the go & then refine them further, Adobe Ideas + Illustrator is a great one-two punch. Here's a short series of quick demos that show the process & offer some best-practice guidance.
In this video, we'll go through a brief tour of the features of Adobe Ideas, before creating a sketch and prepping the workspace for our final illustration.
Next, we'll take our sketch and turn it into a multi-layered colored illustration. We'll also cover some techniques to facilitate a smooth transition into Illustrator, allowing for maximized editing ability.
Finally, we'll use Creative Cloud to bring our Ideas file into Illustrator CS6. From there, we'll learn some techniques on how to clean up and edit our artwork.


Next week is the beginning of SHOT Show 2019, the world's largest shooting, hunting, and outdoor trade show — check OFFGRIDweb.com tomorrow for a live photo gallery of the guns and gear we see at the show. Many of the products that will be unveiled at SHOT are still strictly under wraps, but we got a special opportunity to evaluate some pre-release samples of two new lights from Streamlight.
Although the ProTac 90 and Siege X USB aren't on sale yet, we've already spent a few weeks using them. Read on as we share our impressions of these new lights.
If you're familiar with Streamlight at all, you're bound to know the ProTac series. It's one of the company's most popular lines, making use of sturdy aluminum construction and simple yet versatile controls across a range of EDC-friendly models. Personally, I've been using a ProTac 2L frequently for more than 5 years, and it's still going strong.
The latest addition to the Streamlight ProTac series is the ProTac 90. As anyone who didn't sleep through geometry class can guess, the "90" is an indicator of its 90-degree right-angle head. We've written about angle-head flashlights in the past — while this design still isn't for everyone, it offers a number of considerable advantages.
Like a traditional flashlight, the ProTac 90 can easily be carried in hand. Streamlight designed the ergonomics of the light to fit this use case, placing the raised push-button switch near the head at a 45-degree angle. This permits the user to hold the light in a handlebar-style grip and operate the switch with a thumb. It's also substantially more comfortable than the top-mounted switch on the PolyTac 90 we previously reviewed.
If you've done any low-light shooting drills with a handgun and pocket flashlight, you may be used to aiming your light with one of a few popular grip styles: neck-index (over-the-shoulder), Harries (crossed wrists), or Rogers (between the fingers). The ProTac 90 allows for some interesting alternatives, and we found it felt surprisingly natural when used alongside a weapon. It's especially well-suited to the Harries grip or simply being held close to the body at chest height.
Cycling through these modes requires short half-presses of the switch, then a hold or full-press of the switch once the desired mode is reached.
Given the recent proliferation of 1,000-lumen pocket flashlights, 300 lumens might not sound like a lot. But as is often the case with good-quality flashlights, the optic design makes this output appear brighter and more effective than you'd expect. Streamlight calls it a "blended beam," meaning that it has a smoother gradation between the central spotlight and outer edge. Compared to my old ProTac 2L, the ProTac 90's spotlight is slightly larger and noticeably softer. The ProTac 90 has a mild yellow-green tint — a warmer shade than the bluish output of my 2L, but less warm than a modern Surefire.
The ProTac 90 is constructed from machined aluminum with an anodized finish and a shatter-resistant borofloat glass lens. It's IPX7 waterproof (1-meter immersion for 30 minutes) and impact-resistant to 2-meter drops. It also features a removable, bi-directional pocket clip. Unlike other Streamlight clips that are held in place by spring tension alone, this clip has a clasp that prevents it from popping off the light. I've noticed that's a common problem with many other Streamlight models, including my ProTac 2L, so I'm glad to see it's not an issue in this case.
The clip allows this light to be attached to a pocket, belt, or even the brim of a hat for hands-free illumination. It also works well on backpacks, harnesses, and other MOLLE-compatible gear.
Overall, the ProTac 90 is a welcome addition to the Streamlight tactical line. It's not a replacement for the traditional ProTac 1L-1AA, but rather a complement to it for those who prefer the right-angle style. It works well in concert with a handgun, as a hands-free utility light, or simply as an everyday flashlight. MSRP is $68, and we expect street prices will be roughly half that as is usually the case with Streamlight products.
The second new release from Streamlight is a compact yet potent multi-function lantern, the Siege X USB. Since it shares a name with the original Siege and Siege AA, you might think this is a slight revision of these pre-existing camping lanterns. However, it's a substantially different design with a smaller footprint and several new features.
Measuring in at just 2.1 inches in diameter and 4.4 inches in length, the Siege X fits nicely in hand or in a backpack pocket. It's IPX7 waterproof and impact-resistant to 2 meters. Like the original Siege, it uses an array of LEDs inside a polycarbonate diffuser lens to produce a smooth area of illumination. It also features two hangers for suspending the lantern.
First, a folding handle swings up from around the lens. This can be used as a simple carry handle, but there's a notch in the middle that hooks onto ridgelines, railings, door frames, tabletops, or other edges.
Next, there's a spring-loaded D-ring on the opposite end of the lantern. This is ideal for attaching the light to smaller cord loops, such as the loop at the apex of a tent.
Pressing the button on the side of the lantern turns on the light and cycles through output levels; holding this button down switches between three modes: white lantern, red lantern, and flashlight. The flashlight beam is projected from a separate LED inside an optic at the top of the lantern. This beam pattern is actually similar to that of the ProTac 90, albeit slightly more diffuse and pure white in color.
A single 18650 lithium battery or a pair of CR123A batteries can be used to power the Siege X USB. However, as you might guess from its name, the retail version of this lantern will include a special 18650 battery with a built-in Micro USB charge port directly on the battery. Our sample didn't include this new battery, so we used a standard blue Streamlight 18650 we already had on hand — it's still rechargeable as long as you have a charging cradle or another 18650 flashlight with a built-in USB charging port.
The Siege X USB will include one USB-rechargeable 18650 battery.
The power button contains a battery life indicator that changes from green, to yellow, to red, and finally flashing red as the battery charge depletes.
We've used a variety of camping lanterns over the years, and the Siege X USB strikes us as an impressive package at its $75 MSRP. It's extremely compact, unlike the bulky incandescent lanterns of the past — you could even fit it in a pocket if necessary. The primary lantern output is enough to light a whole room at full blast, and more than enough for a small campsite or tent. Runtime is respectable in either mode, and the battery indicator ensures it won't go dark unexpectedly. Although we didn't get to test the new 18650 with built-in USB charging port, the light works great with a standard 18650 or two CR123As.
The flashlight works fine as a backup, but it's still not as effective as a dedicated flashlight or headlamp.
Battery cap pops off with a quarter-turn and little effort. We'd prefer slightly more secure retention.

Power Spins Casino was launched in 2017 and is owned by BGO Entertainment. It features an expansive range of slots from major software providers such as Playtech as well as a good collection of table games.
It's pretty clear from the off, that the Power Spins website is heavily based on its stablemate, BGO Casino. It shares a similar loading screen and an almost identical narrow page layout. The game thumbnails on the home page are grouped according to type with a 'show all' function included at the end of each section. The horizontal game menu links, lead to these sections by scrolling down to their location instead of opening up a separate page - an unusual but clever technique.
As with BGO Casino, the Power Spins website looks slick and professional. Typically, a site header sits atop the lobby and features game slides promoting the latest offers and bonuses. When the slides change the background follows suit so for Aloha: Cluster Pays, a tropical vista appears as a backdrop. This is a really neat touch which doesn't serve as a distraction but instead makes for a more captivating gaming experience.

Power Spins offer a new sort of welcome package. Instead of a large match bonus that is tied to wagering requirements, they now offer free spins and no wagering at all. When you make your first deposit (min £10) you can get up to 50 free spins. Every pound that you deposit, up to £50, will add another free spin to your welcome package. Any winnings that result from these bonus spins are withdraw-able without having to wager a certain amount. As long as you withdraw a minimum of £20 at a time, you'll be fine! The free spins can be used on the following games: Robocop, Wild Beats, Jungle Trouble and Tiki Paradise. Full terms and conditions apply, and these can be found on the Power Spins website.
Yet more free spins are available by way of 'bolts' which are awarded according to the amount of real-money bets placed on a slot game. So the more you play, the more free spins get unlocked. Progress is indicated by a 'bolt bar' which displays how many you've acquired during play. For full terms and conditions see the website. This promotion is correct at the time of writing the review.Inside Casino update reviews as often as possible, but the most up to date promotions can be found on the Power Spins website. There's also a 24 hour limit to play through their free spins with bolts being removed after a month of inactivity.
Power Spins Slots
Power Spins has an exhaustive range of video slots which numbers well over 400. In addition to titles from Playtech such as Monty Python's Spamalot, Jackpot Giant and White King, there are also games from providers such as Netent including Boom Brothers, Eggomatic and Demolition Squad. It's also worth mentioning that of the 400 slots offered on the Power Spins website, 78 of them are jackpot progressives.
Power Spins Games
Demos can be played for all non-progressive casino games without having to log in. They all run in a Flash-based browser window, which includes recently played games for easier access. Each one features a rather unhelpful marketing spiel in the window frame. As well as the countless video slots, you'll also find plenty of different versions of baccarat, roulette, blackjack and poker. For the desktop website, game loading times tended to lag in certain browsers while performing better on others. When we tested on Internet Explorer and Chrome, there were no problems however.
Power Spins Live Dealer
At present, there are no live table games available on the Power Spins website.
Power Spins App and Mobile
Although there's no app, mobile versions include the colourful, boisterous branding used on the desktop website. And despite the obvious limitations, it includes most of the main features found on larger screens. Navigating between pages is snappy while gameplay remains flawless. The same can also be said for tablet devices, where Power Spins operates and renders very well.
Power Spins VIP Scheme
At the time of writing, Power Spins does not offer a VIP package.
Power Spins Customer Support
In terms of customer support, Power Spins features a thorough FAQ section which provides information about their welcome bonuses as and advice about responsible gaming. We were amused by the way they spin their online email form which, according to the website, enables customers 'to contact us 24/7'. That you'll only get a response from 8:30am to 12:00am puts something of a dampener on this bold claim. And although a physical address is available, live chat and telephone support are not provided. So customers will have to rely on their 24/7, pseudo-service for help and guidance.
Power Spins Review Summary
Power Spins is a fun and vibrant gaming experience which incorporates many of the elements found on the BGO Casino website. Fusing a basic site structure with elaborate game artwork works well and retains a sense of minimalism often found on major casino websites. Their outstanding range of casino slots rivals anything found online. Additionally, their welcome bonuses remain competitive despite a few caveats in the small print. There are a few shortcomings such as the lack of a VIP package, no live games and a sub-standard customer support section. However, Power Spins provides an attractive and robust platform from which to play casino slots.

Fidget cubes, like fidget spinners and other fidget toys, are increasingly becoming popular as simple, low-cost anxiety and stress reduction devices. These gadgets help the fidgeter keep focused, attentive, and calm in their surroundings. Fidget cubes and other fidget toys are particularly helpful for those that contend with symptoms of ADD, ADHD, autism, smoking, nail biting, and other tendencies and habits. They also help those without disabilities enhance their motor skills for better hand coordination and strengthen fingers and hand.
Fidget cubes are small, pocket-sized desk toys marketed for individuals approximately 5 years and older. They are made from plastic and soft vinyl materials and come in a variety of colors. Purchased cubes generally come one to a package. Some fidget cube models have two cubes, one larger than the other, tethered together.
Each of the cube's six sides offers a particular feature and something different to fidget with. They click, flip, roll, spin, glide, or breathe (a traditional worry stone function).
Fidget cubes have all fidgeting actions imaginable incorporated into one, easy to hold, easy to manipulate, six-sided gadget. On the average, cubes weigh approximately 1.5 oz, and measure about 1.3 – 1.5 inches. They can range from under $5 to $30 and are designed for fun as much as for function.
On the "click" side of the cube the contrasting buttons are arranged as a dice number "5". Three of the buttons should click (like a pen) when pushed and two should be silent when pushed. You can quietly or loudly alternately press (when motivated) and release (to de-stress).
The "flip" or "switch" side of the cube has a toggle switch similar to a light switch. It can be flipped up and down (or back and forth). It can be flipped in a normal fashion so you may focus your thoughts or attention on a particular issue. Or the switch may be rapidly toggled to release tension, frustration, or anger. It typically emits a clicking sound, but some models can allow the user to flip the switch quietly by putting a little pressure on the switch as it is flipped.
The "roll" side of the cube has a metal ball that clicks when pressed down, and which can also be rolled in all directions (in place) under your thumb. It also has a series of three small contrasting-color gears that roll up and down similar to combination lock numbers on a safe or briefcase. Rotating the metal ball can aid thinking, problem-solving, and concentration. The series of small gears can also aid analytical processing, focus, and concentration.
The "spin" side of the cube has a contrasting circular dial that spins. It has an indentation that makes it easy to turn using your thumb or forefinger. Rotating the dial helps aid concentration and release remaining stress.
The "glide" side of the cube is a contrasting-color, circular, indented joystick that can be maneuvered by your thumb left, right, up or down. It can also be rotated. It is similar to a joystick on a gaming remote.
This side of the cube appears as a smooth thumb print. It resembles a soothing or worry stone. The cube is held in the palm of the hand and you use your thumb to rub the imprint (softly or aggressively) to reduce anxiety like you would a worry stone. This activity gives you time to breath, meditate, soothe, and slowly release tension.
Why Is There A Need For This Product?
A tapping pencil, jittery foot, or drumming fingers tends to annoy those in the surrounding workplace or conference room. Fidget toys, like the fidget cube and spinner, are unobtrusively small and fit in a pocket. The toy can help the "fidgeter" stay focused and calm during times of boredom, anxiety, or stress.
Today, fidget toys are increasingly being used as holistic tools or remedies. Research has proved that fidgeting with something like a fidget cube can reduce stress and instill a reassurance. Fidget cubes and other fidget toys are not intended to cure extreme incidents of emotional distress or medical disorders. However, they are effective in aiding concentration or boredom and relieving nervous tension.
Work anxiety and stress are common and in isolated cases can grow into debilitating anger, outbursts, withdrawal, or depression It is increasingly being recognized that constructive fidgeting helps achieve a calmer demeanor. Concentration becomes better and can be maintained longer. Facts and information can also be retained more easily. Studies show writing notes, rather than typing them, and doodling increase cognitive processing. If you constantly tap your pencil, click your pen, or need to tap your foot or move your legs, a fidget toy may help reduce your nervous tension and energy so your mind can focus on the project or task at hand.
Fidget toys, such as fidget cubes and spinners, are increasingly being used to assist those afflicted with neurological disorders such as autism, ADD or ADHD. Approximately 1 in 10 children in the US has ADHD. Studies have shown the fidget cube helps improve children's test scores. Many classrooms have fidget cubes on hand to aid in helping children calm down and concentrate. Those suffering from ADD and ADHD find it easier to stay focused and commit to completing the task or project as a result. In fact, the more intense the fidget, the more mentally aroused the child (or adult) becomes and the better their concentration also becomes as a result.
For adults, the inability to stay on task generally results in missed deadlines, poor performance reviews, passed-over promotions, and other negative outcomes. Multi-tasking is an ideal scenario for many ADD and ADHD individuals. Fidgeting with a cube helps provide the right mental and physical balance to mentally prioritize and focus on important tasks.
Those suffering from autism can easily become overwhelmed in any circumstance. They experience severe sensory overloads that cause fear and create stress for themselves and others around them. Each autistic person reacts and responds differently. They all naturally fidget, however, as it becomes a kind of coping mechanism for each of them.
A fidget cube may be used to calm the autistic user when they feel threatened or uncomfortable in strange surroundings. Fidgeting (moving their body) releases nervous energy. Fidget toys, such as the fidget cube, give them a similar sense of motion and sensory movement without physically acting out. Essentially, providing a fidget cube helps mitigate or avoid uncomfortable situations for everyone.
Fidget cubes help those trying to combat a bad habit (I.e.: nail biting, hair twirling, smoking etc.) overcome their urges. Carrying a fidget cube can provide immediate comfort distract from the urge. Fidgeting with the cube essentially replaces the act, motion, or movement associated with the habit trying to be broken.
What To Look For When Buying Fidget Cube?
There are many manufacturers that offer all types and models of fidget cubes. There is only one original fidget cube, however (Antsy Labs' Kickstarter Fidget Cube). Most others found on the market (knock-offs) are acceptable quality, durable, guaranteed, and perform as advertised.
A good quality fidget cube should be packaged well and made well (no loose parts that can dislodge and fall off causing accidents (i.e.: choking, cuts, etc.)). The cube should be made of non-toxic, quality materials. Check the manufacturer's recommended user age and types of outer casing material and inner workings (bearings and magnets) before buying.
The fidget gadgets on each cube face should not be loose, or so stiff they are difficult to manipulate with one hand.
Fidget cubes are plastic or vinyl outside. They have plastic construction inside, with various plastic gears (strung on a miniature metal rod), magnet (for smooth worry stone function), plastic buttons and switch mechanisms, and plastic balls (that help disks rotate). There is also the metal ball bearing that is on the "Roll" face of the cube.
The cube's metal ball, or bearing, can be pressed or rotated. There are also small external and internal plastic balls and bearings that help various features spin and rotate. All of these should be securely in place to avoid them from coming loose and becoming hazards.
Manufacturer's Recommended Age: 6+ yrs.
Manufacturer's Recommended Age: 3 – 20 yrs.
Manufacturer's Recommended Age: 7+ yrs.

Iowa unions, schools taking a proactive approach to training
Ten students from Saydel High School's construction shop class have entered a pilot program that will allow them direct entry into United Association Plumbers and Steamfitters Local Union 33 once they graduate.
By Bob Vavra September 28, 2009
Located on the northern edge of Des Moines, Saydel High School is a small but progressive school with big goals. Working with a local labor union, the school has implemented a program that will prepare students to enter high-demand careers shortly after graduation.
Ten students from Saydel High School's construction shop class have entered a pilot program that will allow them direct entry into United Association Plumbers and Steamfitters Local Union 33 once they graduate. As Local 33 apprentices, they will receive training in plumbing, heating, air conditioning, medical gas, high purity piping, water treatment, and other specialties.
"The school administration is excited about the project," said Greg Foshe, Business Manager of Local 33. "They even made changes to the high school curriculum to fit the union's basic math and science requirements." Saydel High School currently has 510 students attending grades 9 through 12.
Fast-track education
Foshe stated that the goal of this program is to bring people into the union at a younger age. "When students go from high school directly into their trade," he said, "they are going from learning situation to learning situation, creating a fast-track educational experience."
Local 33 has signed an articulation agreement with Des Moines Area Community College, in conjunction with Iowa Workforce Development, that will allow pre-apprentice students to get credit toward an associate's degree, Foshe added.
Linda Phillips, an independent contractor with Career and Life Transition Counseling, brokered the agreement between Saydel High School and Local 33. According to Phillips, the fact that high school students can enter apprenticeships right after their high school training is a definite plus. "I hope this trend will spread to other high schools in Iowa," she said.
Phillips noted that this program will help students to stay engaged in their continuing education. "It gives them potential goals to aim at, with very attainable results," she said. "It provides them with mentors, directional leadership, and contacts for getting involved with the business community. It's real, rigorous, relevant and rational."
Hands-on experience
"Students who enter this program will look at different areas of plumbing, heating and cooling, as well as electrical work and some carpentry," said John Oatts, Training Director of Local 33. "During the program, the students will spend a lot of time at the union training school, so they can see and experience what we do in our classroom and shop." Electricity and carpentry are part of the students' training, he added, because these trades often work together.
If a student enters and passes the program, those over age 18 can gain direct entry into the pre-apprentice program, said Oatts. "They can be a pre-apprentice for a couple months or a year before becoming an apprentice," he explained. "They will go through interviews and a review process through the Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee. The highest ranking scores will become apprentices the soonest. In this program, you get out of it what you put into it."
In the union's five-year program, apprentices spend 246 hours in classroom training and 1,700 to 2,000 hours of on-the-job training with contractors. "Working with the contractors provides apprentices with the hands-on experience they need to excel in real-world situations," Foshe said.
Once high school students graduate and enter the program, Foshe explained, they will get first-year apprentice wages and a basic health care plan. "Not all students wish to pursue a college education," he said, "but they do want stable, rewarding careers. If they decide to enter construction careers that require a college education, they will have the option to follow that path. They can get an associate's or bachelor's degree if they keep up with it."
A vision for the future
"Saydel High School is taking a pro-active stance toward the future of their students," Foshe said, "and we're proud to be a part of their vision."
Foshe mentioned that many of the students in the program have close relatives in the building trades. "We're happy to help these young people to continue in the footsteps of family role models," he said.
According to Oatts, Local 33 currently has 230 apprentices, between 19 and 45 years old, and the average age is mid- to late-twenties. Last year they added 60 apprentices. Graduates of the apprenticeship program become journeymen plumbers, pipefitters, steamfitters, HVAC technicians, building automation technicians, and refrigeration specialists.
"These are good, secure jobs," Oatts said. "You can't outsource what we do. Once you learn a five-year trade, you have a career for as long as you want."

Q: How to validate same field second time in bootstrapvalidator In this iam validating servicedescription after onchange and it is forworking fine but whenever my text changes to otherthan "OTHER" and need validate Remarks in that only StringLength
This is my div

                                   Service Description:*

                                       <textarea class="form-control" name="Remarks" id="Remarks" placeholder="Enter Service Description" rows="5"></textarea>

This is my onchange
.on('change', '[name="ServiceID"]', function () {
    var Serviceid = parseInt($("#ServiceID").val());
    var skillsSelect = document.getElementById("ServiceID");
    var selectedText = skillsSelect.options[skillsSelect.selectedIndex].text;

    if (selectedText == "OTHER") {

        $(".servicedescription").removeClass("hide");
        $('#AddServicesForm').bootstrapValidator('enableFieldValidators','Remarks');
        $('#AddServicesForm').bootstrapValidator('validateField', 'Remarks');

    else{
        $('#AddServicesForm').bootstrapValidator('enableFieldValidators', 'Remarks', false)
        $(".servicedescription").addClass("hide");
