Basic Carrier Deck at the Cosmo Aeromodelling Club Control Line Competition
Damyns Hall Airfield in Essex – 21st April 2013
Report by Andy Housden
PHOTO GALLERY FLYING REPORT RESULTS
Damyn's Hall Airfield in the Essex countryside south of Upminster is home to a range of light aircraft and a microlight flying club which, with the busy Carrier and Scale circles of Cosmo's event, meant that there was always some entertaining aviation wherever you looked! The weather was just right – blue skies, pleasant sunshine and only a light breeze for most of the day.
Organiser Peter Tribe took advantage of the lack of early queues to test fly his new Class 1 model, an electric Bell XFL Airabonita. Still experimenting with the power set-up, Peter tried different batteries and obtained a maximum speed of 75.9mph. Whilst this was a good result, Peter's aim was to get up to the 85mph achieved by his West 36 powered Vought Kingfisher. So – more work required! Peter then chose to fly his extremely quiet Gloster Meteor – a twin electric/propeller design – for his BCD entry and two consecutive flights achieved very consistent scores, the best of which, 197.6 points, was enough to place him fourth overall.
Andy Housden, flying the ex-Trevor Tabor Short Seamew for the third season, surprised himself by two flights with no cock-ups. The Seamew has been broken – sometimes very badly – and repaired on numerous occasions, yet still soldiers on amazingly well despite astoundingly warped wings and a dreadfully scarred fuselage. Andy's best score of 207.4 points eventually turned out to be worth third place. Blimey!
A rather more impressive approach was demonstrated by Gary Church and his extremely rapid Grumman AF Guardian. This model is powered by the very underrated but truly excellent Irvine39 – a screaming 40-sized engine in a 25-sized crankcase. Gary's very first flight set the bar horribly high with a dauntingly-long slow flight and, despite a single overshoot, he achieved a final score of 229.6 points that got him second place. Surprisingly, his second and third flights suffered from unusual bad luck, as both had poor engine runs – the silencer falling apart on the third flight and the model coming down hard enough to cause extensive damage.
Ian Gilbert had brought two models and first tried his very lightweight electric Fairey Spearfish, but despite a score which very nearly equalled Gary Church's best, decided that the model was just too floaty and concentrated on his tried-and-tested Westland Wyvern for the rest of his flights. It was a good choice! The conditions were almost perfect for the model and Ian's piloting skills – a constant light breeze – and his best flight gave him a score of 257.7 points which was unbeatable!
The brothers of Ken and Bob Taylor were very busy competing in the adjacent Scale contest, but fortunately managed to spend some time flying their Carrier models as well. Ken's Mitsubishi Zero was actually one of the alternative versions of the free-plan Grumman Hellcat published in Aeromodeller in 1998, and Ken flew it cautiously but competently for a fault-free flight and seventh place. Bob flew rather late in the day when the breeze was getting a little stronger and more erratic. His first flight with his small Fairey Barracuda suffered from engine failure during the slow run, and the late afternoon wind on his second flight caused the model to balloon on landing, missing all the wires. He still got eighth place, though!
Mike Welch invariably provides good entertainment value whether he has a successful or an unsuccessful day, his models and control systems rarely conforming to the conventional! Today featured his Blackburn Firebrand, which, 40-powered, flexed alarmingly if not held in exactly the right place! The fact that its thin sections have held together without a problem for two full seasons is merely part of the Welch Effect! Today Mike's ninth place was unfortunately one of his more unsuccessful days and the power unit, or perhaps the fuel supply, misbehaved and dropped the model in the briny twice before he could attempt a landing. Shame!
Fifth place Trevor Tabor was persuaded away from the Scale circle to become briefly reacquainted with his old model – Andy Housden's Short Seamew – and put in a very good flight that missed beating Peter Tribe into fourth place by only 1.6 points. Trevor has achieved much higher scores with this model in the past, so it can only be presumed that he flew more conservatively than he might have done as he didn't want to risk further damage to the already beaten-up airframe! You're a gentleman, sir!
Team Phillips was present as expected! Bob was unlucky in tenth place, flying a 1/12th scale blue foam converted R/C Grumman Hellcat. Pretty though the model was, the Thunder Tiger 25 was simply NOT powerful enough. Not only did the model struggle to take off in the available deck space, there was really insufficient reserve of power for slow flying and, allied perhaps to fuel supply problems, resulted in the Pilot's metaphorical toes being more than just dipped in the water! On a distinctly more positive note, though, despite flying towards the end of the day when it was a little windier, John put in two very good flights indeed with his Grumman AF Guardian. His first flight would have been his best had he not been unlucky during the landing when the hook bounced over all the wires, the model missing the wires again after the overshoot and subsequently ditching. John's second flight – and score of 194.4 for sixth place – was the result of a more conservative slow run and one of the most careful – and accurate – landings of the day.

This is post covered How to Upload Image or File in Laravel with server side validation. If you are beginner in Laravel and if you want to learn how to upload file or image on public folder of laravel framework, then in this post you can learn step by step how to upload image with validation in Laravel. Because upload of media is required feature in any web application and if you have build your web application by using Laravel then you have come right place. Here we have discuss upload of image file with validation rules like we should have to select file because image is required, selected file must be an image, image extension must be .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif and image size not exceeds 2 MB. If this validation rules not follow then it will display particular validation error on web page and image will not be uploaded. If this validation rules successfully passed then it will upload image in public folder of Laravel directory.
For this first we have to download and installed Laravel framework, so for this we have write following command in command prompt. In command prompt you have to first run composer command then after you have to run this command because this framework use composer for manage it's dependency.
This command will make student_crud directory and in that it will download Laravel framework. After this we want to make one controller for upload image file. For this we have write following command.
This command will make UploadfileController.php controller in app/Http/Controllers directory. Now we want to make one view file for upload image. So for this we have make upload.blade.php view file in resources/views directory and write following code.
After this we have write following code in UploadfileController.php this code will first load view file and in that file we can select file and it will send request to this controller again for upload image file with validation.
Lastly, we want set route for two method of UploadfileController.php controller. For this we have to go to routes/web.php and in that we have write following code.
So, this whole code is for how to upload image file with validation in Laravel.

The whole works of ... Jeremy Taylor, with a life of the author and ..., Том 11
Авторы: Jeremy Taylor (bp. of Down and Connor.)
And although he may command fond things, being abused by flatterers, or misinformation, yet the commandment issues from a just authority, and therefore equally passes into a law; so it is in conscience. If error or passion dictates, the king is misinformed, but the inferiors are bound to obey and we may no more disobey our conscience commanding of evil things, than we may disobey our king enjoining things imprudent and inconvenient. But therefore this rule gives caution to observe the information and inducement, and if we can discern the abuse, then the evil is avoided. For this governor conscience' is tied to laws, as kings are to the laws of God and nations, to justice and charity; and a man's conscience cannot be malicious: his will may; but if the error be discovered, the conscience, that is, the practical understanding, cannot. For it is impossible for a man to believe what himself finds to be an error: and when we perceive our conscience to be misguided, the deception is at an end. And therefore to make up this rule complete, we ought to be strict and united to our rule: for by that only we can be guided, and by the proportions to it we can discern right and wrong, when we walk safely, and when we walk by false fires. Concerning which, besides the direct survey of the rule and action, and the comparing each other, we may, in cases of doubt and suspicion, be helped by the following
measures.
Advices for the Practice of the former Rule.
3. (1.) We are to suspect our conscience to be misinformed, when we are not willing to inquire into the particulars. He that searches, desires to find, and so far takes the right course for truth can never hurt a man, though it may prejudice his vice, and his affected folly. In the inquiries after truth, every man should have a traveller's indifferency, wholly careless whether this or that be the right way, so he may find it. For we are not to choose the way because it looks fair, but because it leads surely. And to this purpose, the most hearty and particular inquest is most prudent and effective. But we are afraid of truth when we will not inquire, that is, when the truth is against our interest or passion, our lust or folly, that is, seemingly against us, in the present indisposition of our affairs.
4. (2.) He that resolves upon the conclusion before the premises, inquiring into particulars to confirm his opinion at a venture, not to shake it if it be false, or to establish it only in case it be true, unless he be defended by chance, is sure to mistake, or at least can never be sure whether he does or no.
This is to be understood in all cases to be so, unless the particular unknown be secured by a general that is known. He that believes Christ's advocation and intercession for us, in heaven upon the stock of Scripture, cannot be prejudiced by this rule, although, in the inquiries of probation and arguments of the doctrine, he resolve to believe nothing that shall make against his conclusion; because he is ascertained. by a proposition that cannot fail him. The reason of this exception is this, because in all discourses which are not perfectly demonstrative, there is one lame supporter, which must be helped out by the better leg; and the weaker part does its office well enough, if it can bring us to a place where we may rest ourselves and rely. He that cannot choose for himself, hath chosen well enough, if he can choose one that can choose for him; and when he hath, he may prudently rely upon such a person in all particulars, where he himself cannot judge, and the other can, or he thinks he can, and cannot well know the contrary. It is easier to judge of the general lines of duty, than of minutes and particulars and travellers that are not well skilled in all the little turnings of the ways, may confidently rely upon a guide whom they choose out of the natives of the place; and if he understands the coast of the country, he may well harden his face against any vile person, that goes about wittily to persuade him he must go the contrary way, though he cannot answer his arguments to the contrary. A man may prudently and piously hold a conclusion, which he cannot defend against a witty adversary, if he have one strong hold upon which he may rely for the whole question; because he derives his conclusion from the best ground he hath, and takes the wisest course he can, and uses the best means he can get, and chooses the safest ways that are in his power. No man is bound to do better than his best.
5. (3.) Illusion cannot be distinguished from conscience, if, in our search, we take a wrong course and use incompetent
instruments.
He that will choose to follow the multitude which easily errs, rather than the wise guides of souls; and a man that is his partner in the question, rather than him that is disinterested; and them that speak by chance, rather than them who have studied the question: and a man of another profession, rather than him whose office and employment it is to answer,-hath no reason to be confident he shall be well instructed. John Niders tells an apologue well enough to this purpose:-Two brethren travelling together, whereof one was esteemed wise, and the other little better than a fool, came to a place where the way parted. The foolish brother espying one of them to be fair and pleasant, and the other dirty and uneven, would needs go that way, though his wiser brother told him, that in all reason that must needs be the wrong way; but he followedhis own eyes, not his brother's reason and his brother being more kind than wise, though against his reason, followed his foolish brother; they went on till they fell into the hands of thieves, who robbed them and imprisoned them, till they could redeem themselves with a sum of money. These brothers accuse each other before the king as author of each other's evil. The wiser complained that his brother would not obey him, though he was known to be wiser, and spake reason. The other complained of him for following him that was a fool, affirming, that he would have returned back, if he had seen his wise' brother confident, and to have followed his own reason. The king condemned them both; the fool, because he did not follow the direction of the wise, and the wise, because he did follow the wilfulness of the fool.-So will God deal with us at the day of judgment in the scrutinies of conscience. If appetite refuses to follow reason, and reason does not refuse to follow appetite, they have both of them taken incompetent courses, and shall perish together. It was wisely said of Brutus to Cicero, "Malo tuum judicium, quam ex altera parte omnium istorum. Tu enim à certo sensu et vero judicas de nobis ; quod isti ne faciant, summa malevolentia et livore impediuntur:" "I prefer thy judgment singly, before all theirs, because thou judgest by intuition of the thing; they cannot do that, being hindered by envy and ill-will."— The particulars of reducing this advice to practice in all special cases, I shall afterward enumerate; for the present I
g In Lavacro Conscient.
Lib. 11. Famil. Epist. 10. Cortius, p. 570.
say this only, that a man may consent to an evil authority, and rest in a false persuasion, and be conducted by an abused conscience, so long as the legislative reason is not conjoined to the judge conscience, that is, while by unapt instruments we suffer our persuasions to be determined.
6. (4.) That determination is to be suspected, that does apparently serve an interest, and but obscurely serve a pious end:
Utile quod nobis, do tibi consilium':
When that appears, and nothing else appears, the resolution or counsel is to be considered warily before it be pursued. It is a great allay to the confidence of the bold talkers in the church of Rome, and hinders their gain and market of proselytes from among the wise and pious very much,—that most of their propositions, for which they contend so earnestly against the other parts of Christendom, do evidently serve the ends of covetousness and ambition, of power and riches, and therefore stand vehemently suspected of design and art, rather than of piety or truth of the article, or designs upon heaven. I instance in the pope's power over princes and all the world; his power of dispensation; the exemption of the clergy from jurisdiction of secular princes; the doctrine of purgatory and indulgences, by which once the friars were set a work to raise a portion for a lady, the niece of Pope Leo X.; the doctrine of transubstantiation, by the effects and consequence of which, the priests are made greater than angels, and next to God; and so is also that heap of doctrines, by the particulars of which the ecclesiastical power is far advanced beyond the authority of any warrant from Scripture, and is made highly instrumental for procuring absolute obedience to the Papacy. In these things every man with half an eye can see the temporal advantage; but how piety and truth shall thrive in the meanwhile, no eye hath yet been so illuminate as to perceive. It was the advice of Ben Sirach," Consult not with a woman touching her of whom she is jealous; neither with a coward in matters of war; nor with a merchant concerning exchange; nor with a buyer, of selling; nor with an envious man of thankfulness; nor with an unmerciful man touching kindness; nor with the slothful for any work; nor with the hireling, for a year of
i Martial. 5, 20. 18.
k Ecclus. xxxvii. 11.
finishing work; nor with an idle servant, of much business; hearken not unto these in any matter of counsel." These will counsel by their interest, not for thy advantage.
But it is possible that both truth and interest may be conjoined; and when a priest preaches to the people the necessity of paying tithes, where they are by law appointed, or when a poor man pleads for charity, or a man in debt urges the excellency of forgetfulness; the truth which they discourse of, cannot be prejudiced by their proper concernments. For if the proposition serves the ends in religion, in providing for their personal necessities, their need makes the instances still the more religious, and the things may otherwise be proved. But when the end of piety is obscure, or the truth of the proposition is uncertain, then observe the bias; and if the man's zeal be bigger than the certainty of the proposition, it is to be estimated by the interest, and to be used accordingly.
But this is not to prejudice him that gives the counsel; for although the counsel is to be suspected, yet the man is not, unless by some other indications he betray himself. For he may be heartily and innocently persuaded of the thing he counsels, and the more easily and aptly believe that, against which himself did less watch, because he quickly perceived it could not be against himself,
Add to this, the counsel is the less to be suspected, if it be asked, then if it be offered. But this is a consideration of prudence, not of conscience directly.
7, (5.) If the proposition serve or maintain a vice, or lessen a virtue, it is certainly not conscience, but error and abuse; because no truth of God can serve God's enemy directly, or by its own force and persuasion. But this is to be understood only in case the answer does directly minister to sin, not if it does so only accidentally. Q. Furius is married to Valeria; but she being fierce and imperious, quarrelsome and loud, and he peevish and fretful, turns her away that he might have peace and live in patience. But being admonished by Hortensius the orator, to take her again, he asked counsel of the priests, and they advise him to receive her. He answers, that then he cannot live innocently, but in a perpetual state of temptation, in which he daily falls. The priest replies, that it is his own fault; let him learn patience, and

interview with jaume plensa as monumental white resin head unveiled in newport pier park
GRAY gallery announces the unveiling of 'water's soul,' 2020, a new site-specific sculpture by internationally renowned artist jaume plensa. the white resin head rises 80 feet (24 meters) above newport pier park, across from downtown manhattan and marks the artist's tallest public sculpture to-date (as a comparison, the statue of liberty is 150 feet/ 46 meters tall from the top of the base to her torch). organized by GRAY gallery, the permanent installation depicts the serene face of a young subject holding a finger to her lips in a state of silent contemplation. the sculptural portrait, though monumental in scale, humbly gestures for quietude, a beckoning towards empathetic self-reflection. 'water's soul' will be permanently installed in the newport development on the hudson river in jersey city, new jersey, and dedicated on site in a ceremony tomorrow, thursday, october 21, 2021.
in addition to 'water's soul', plensa has also been commissioned to develop his largest indoor project to date, UTOPIA, which will be installed in the lobby of a new welcome center for the frederik meijer gardens & sculpture park, in grand rapids, michigan. composed of portraits that are rendered in relief from pure white marble, UTOPIA opens in november 2021. finally, galerie lelong & co., new york, presents a solo exhibition featuring new sculptures by the artist, including the debut of the new NEST series, alabaster sculptures about five feet (one and a half meters) tall that see portraits emerge from the stone. the exhibition opens on friday, october 29, and will be on view until december 23, 2021.
designboom (DB): water's soul, your latest site-specific sculpture, will be unveiled soon as a permanent addition to the newport pier park on the hudson river. what is the relation of the sculpture to the surrounding body of water?
jaume plensa (JP): water's soul pays homage to water. the project asks for silence—for us to listen to the profound voice of the water speaking to us. water is the source of life, and water's soul is a celebration of life.

DB: can you tell us more about UTOPIA, your largest indoor project to date, set to open soon as part of the new welcome center for the frederik meijer gardens & sculpture park in grand rapids, michigan?
JP: four horizontally elongated faces will cover the four walls of the room creating a surreal monochrome landscape and emotional experience. when visitors enter the space, they will be completely embraced by UTOPIA!
DB: what are the new works that you are presenting in your upcoming gallery exhibition NEST at galerie lelong & co.?
JP: the exhibition NEST explores the head as a poetical shelter that embraces and protects our inner world. for me, the head is the nest where our dreams are born.

JP: perhaps my mediterranean origin has influenced my passion for poetry and music, as well as the permanent desire to work with and for the community.
DB: where do you work on your projects, and how is your studio activated on a day to day basis?
JP: I have always said that my study is located in my head, in the nomadic displacement, and in the multiple activities between materials and ideas.
DB: what is the best moment of the day?
JP: I have always liked the dawn, the awakening of the day. it seems that everything is still possible.
DB: you've long explored an interest in philosophical and spiritual expressions of the human body — can you recall the moment you first acknowledged your interest in the human condition, and what impact that had on you at the time?
JP: I believe that the most important things in life are always invisible; connections that embrace our body in its mysterious relationship with nature and community.
DB: your work has ranged from public sculpture monumental in scale, to more intimate drawings that voice a private search for expression — how does your approach to a project change depending on medium and form?
JP: I can use a large telescope to see the stars illuminating the cosmos or a small microscope to contemplate the humble cells that give life to a simple organism. I am inspired by the wonderful friction of opposites that seeks to fuse body and soul, matter and spirit.
DB: why has it been important for you to create work that is accessible to the general public, and that can reach audiences outside of gallery settings?
JP: I think that art in the public space has the extraordinary function of introducing beauty into the daily life of the community, creating spaces of intimacy and silence.
DB: how do you intend your work to engage with the cities in which they reside? what impressions do you hope it conjures? what dialogue do you hope it provokes?
JP: each public space asks for a different answer. there is no single formula for intervention. in any case, I always try to integrate my personal tradition and experience with the specific tradition of the site, to create a dialogue between my work and the place, between my dreams and the dreams of the community.
DB: what are you currently fascinated by, and how is it feeding into your artistic practice?
JP: I am currently working in stone. the ancestral memory of this material condensed over multiple centuries turns a simple boulder into a sophisticated time capsule.

Your search engine of choice, whether it is Google, Bing, or my recent favorite, DuckDuckGo, uses pieces of software called "robots" that crawl the around the web and map the Internet.
Your job is to ensure that when a user is looking for X on the map of the Internet, your web page marks the spot.
Ideally, these robots are meant to traverse the web just as humans do: Get your bearings, read the content, and follow relevant hyperlinks. They are always getting better at this, but there are a few things one can do to help the little HAL-to-be out. The side effect will be that the user experience for flesh-and-blood will get better as well.
One more thing. As I mentioned previously, accessibility for the vision-impaired also depends on software being able to make sense of your website. Screen-reading software and search engine crawlers share the basic concepts of reading web sites.
In the end, you'll end up with a web site that is simply easier to find and use. Onward!
Please, please, please don't use Flash.
Content inside Adobe Flash is not easily searchable. That alone should disqualify it for everything but for the most dire circumstance. You would also be shunning your iOS-using audience, along with the increasing number of users who decide to forego Flash entirely. (Macs no longer come with Flash pre-installed.) If you need animation or other whiz-bang effects, there are newer, HTML-based solutions available today.
Use HTML5′s new semantic structural tags.
HTML5 introduces new tags that just plain make more sense than <div> ever could.
Your page title is what will stand out the most in a sea of search results or browser tabs. Give each page a distinct title that accurately describes what a person can expect to find there. Sadly, this is going to preclude a lot of the wit that comes from lede-writing in general, but try to work in the key words at least.
The clickable text for links should have something to do with where it leads. "Click here" itself tells you nothing about the page behind it. A robot will better understand the relationship between pages if you use real words in link text.
Tell the search engines where you are.
Let your creation unto the world and tell the search engines about it directly.
Both Google and Bing provide webmaster tools that allow you to see what they see. They'll tell you about the relevant keywords they found in your content, as well as any errors and broken links at your site.
In the end, though, nothing is going to help you more than having content that's relevant in the first place. Write with clarity of thought and purpose, and you'll be rewarding yourself and your users for finding your content. That will only increase the likelihood of them sharing it with their friends.
As search robots gets more sophisticated at mimicking human behavior, they too will be get better and better at recognizing quality.

Do you want to know the real reason why the FISA warrant against Carter Page is bogus?
Do you want to know why the FISA warrant against Carter Page is bogus? Just who can be surveilled under such a warrant? Adam Schiff's memo fails to explain that Page was a government cooperator in a 2013 investigation of Russian spies and that his information was used to prosecute the spies. Read this article by Andrew McCarthy and be enlightened.
As Written and Reported By Andrew C. McCarthy for the National Review:
My column that posted last night is an in-depth analysis of the Schiff memo, the response of House Intelligence Committee Democrats to the Nunes memo published by committee Republicans. I offer a variety of reasons why the response principally proffered by the committee's ranking member, Representative Adam Schiff (D., Calif.), fails to defend the issuance of FISA court surveillance warrants against an American citizen tied to the Trump campaign, Carter Page, in a counterintelligence investigation seeking to probe suspected ties between Donald Trump and Russia. The warrant was issued based on uncorroborated hearsay allegations from unknown sources, compiled in the so-called Steele dossier. The FBI and Justice Department failed to disclose that these allegations were generated by an opposition-research project commissioned by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
As I argue in the column, the Schiff memo leaves no doubt that the key allegation supporting issuance of the warrant is the Steele dossier's claim that, while on a well-publicized trip to Moscow in July 2016, Page met with two top Putin regime operatives, Igor Sechin and Igor Divyekin. Page credibly denies the meetings; former British spy Christoper Steele's claim that they happened is based on unidentified hearsay sources that he concedes he never confirmed; and all indications are that the FBI never corroborated them. In congressional testimony, Former FBI director James Comey described the dossier's allegations about Donald Trump as "salacious and unverified." Furthermore, according to a memo published by two senior Senate Judiciary Committee members …..

Overwraps Flexibles specializes in printing, laminating, and converting flexible film for packaging needs.
In order to become a customer, please contact us here. We will need the following: Credit application/ Tax form, project scope/ specifications.
For standard new orders, lead times are four to six weeks after artwork is approved, and for repeat orders, lead times are three to four weeks. Raw material supply may add to these time frames. If you are under tight deadlines, let us know and we'll do our best to meet your needs.
Overwraps does not have a minimum order quantity. Our printing capabilities become very efficient at 10 million square inches or more. We do run many orders with small print quantities.
We need artwork (web width and repeat/ cutoff; number of colors, ink %), film structure, order quantity, unwind (if roll-stock), outside diameter of customer rolls, and ship-to location.
We use both solvent and water based ink systems - including extended gamut.
Extrusion lamination is a good manufacturing method and is widely and appropriately used in the snack food industry. However, there are considerations for and situations in which Adhesive Lamination is a superior choice.
Extrusion – melted PE (polyethylene) used as the binder between layers of packaging film. Adhesive – 100% solids Solvent-less Adhesive Laminations (SAL), using a 2 part epoxy glue to bond layers of packaging film. We use SAL vs. solvent or water based Adhesive processes.
Hydroscopic products (Ex. Popcorn, Puffed Snacks, Pork Rinds, Corn Products, Sugar/Splenda) will readily absorb odors.
Melted PE from Extrusion Laminations could be absorbed and produce a plastic odor for consumers.
Because Extrusion Laminations can have a relatively uneven distribution on PE extrudate, there are occasional occurrences of roll confirmation issues, such as gauge bands, hard edges and curled edges.
Since the Adhesive is applied more evenly, the rolls are perfectly flat and easier to process in your plant with minimal tracking issues.
OPP/Adh/OPP is a more recyclable product that a OPP/PE Ext./OPP structure. There is a higher value for OPP/Adh/OPP on the secondary/recycle market.
It takes considerably less energy to produce Adhesive Laminations compared to melting PE resin pellets.
The Extrusion Process emits a great deal of pollutants into the environment in the form of airborne burned PE and black PE tar in the chimney and on the roof. Adhesive Laminations have no VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).

Development of new materials and their applications has always been the area of great interest for researchers; indicated by innumerable applications appearing in research journals every year. Advancement in characterization technologies has led to better understanding of material properties at nano-level, which has opened new horizons of applications of both metals and non-metals. Addition of nano-phase in polymers and polymer based composites has resulted in entirely a new range of hybrid materials with much improved properties and functionalities. Similar advancements are also visible in other fields of Materials' Research. The Advance Material Chapter of 16th IBCAST Conference will provide a forum for scientists and engineers to share their knowledge and ideas about materials, their properties, behavior, and uses.

Anti-obesity drug Reductil banned across Europe
Sibutramine blamed for increasing patients' chances of suffering a heart attack or stroke
Denis Campbell, health correspondent
Thu 21 Jan 2010 19.39 EST First published on Thu 21 Jan 2010 19.39 EST
One of the country's most commonly prescribed anti-obesity drugs has been banned across Europe after it was blamed for increasing patients' chances of suffering a heart attack or a stroke.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) ordered doctors across the continent to stop prescribing sibutramine and told pharmacists not to dispense the drug, which is marketed in the UK as Reductil.
The watchdog's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) acted after a study of 9,800 patients said the risks of sibutramine outweighed its minimal benefits.
About 86,000 people took the drug last year. It is prescribed alongside lifetsyle changes for patients who are classed as clinically obese, because they have a Body Mass Index of at least 30, and also in profoundly overweight people who also have a condition such as type 2 diabetes or abnormal levels of fat in their blood.
Users should not worry and should arrange to see their family doctor to be put on an alternative treatment, according to EMA advice last night, which was endorsed by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
Dr June Raine, from the MHRA said: "Evidence suggests that there is an increased risk of non-fatal heart attacks and strokes with this medicine that outweigh the benefits of weight loss, which is modest and may not be sustained in the long term after stopping treatment."
Anyone currently using the weight-loss aid should not face any implications for their health if they decided to stop taking it before seeing their GP, Raine added.There has been concern about the safety of sibutramine since it was first licensed for use in the EU in 1999. Initially it was felt that the drug's benefits overrode the risks involved.

When I design a new collection, I usually have a theme in mind. Not a "fill the room with stripes" type of theme, for me it's more about lifestyle. The lifestyle theme for my recent product launch was "less stuff, more fun." Who wouldn't want that? I think it's a lifestyle change that a lot of busy women are making. So if I want less stuff, why am I making more stuff? Glad you asked.
My life has been full of change. I've moved from a tiny house to a medium-size house, then back to a small house. My little babies became teenagers, and one just left for college. With every life change, the products I rely on to keep my office, family and life organized have also changed. I now have boxes of items that I rarely use. Some of it–think little boy pirate birthday party supplies–won't see the light of day until I have grandkids. So with this new collection, I created products that could work for a variety of situations and a variety of lifestyles. I used neutral colors and classic patterns, with a bit of whimsy thrown in for good measure.
Then came the test, putting the designs to use. My house is usually full of kids, my kids, their friends, my friends' kids, neighbors, kids just seem to multiply. A great way to entertain a variety of age groups is with art supplies, so I keep them ready to go in a Tin Caddy. I also use the Tin Caddy to keep homework supplies portable, my kids end up doing their homework at the kitchen table, not on the desks I carefully chose for their rooms (sigh). Here I am coloring with one of my favorite kids (and artists), Addison.
On the kids first day of school, I found another use for these products, a celebratory brunch with friends. I lined the Tin Storage Tub with plastic and filled it with ice, champagne and drinks.
I dumped out the art supplies and used the Tin Caddy for plates, silverware, napkins and straws.
Back-to-school week is hectic for moms, so it's important to take a little break and spend time with friends. On this occasion, I didn't go crazy, I bought pastries from a good bakery and fresh fruit from the market. With the purchases displayed on fancy plates, it looked great, but was super easy.
I hope these products and ideas will make your life a little easier and a lot more fun!

The Kinks invented the power chord. Despite what you may have heard, the basic rock 'n' roll power chord as we know it was shaped and perfected by Dave Davies on the Kinks' mid-'60s material. 'You Really Got Me' is the king of them, but there are plenty others. And if the Kinks' career stopped there, that would be enough to qualify them as legends. But around 1967 or so, when everyone else started exploring the boundaries of psychedelia, Kinks singer and songwriter Ray Davies dipped back to his native England's Victorian period, penning songs about a more pastoral and innocent time that somehow served as comments on modern-day society. For the next half-decade, the band released a string of terrific but low-selling albums that elevated Davies to one of rock's best-ever songwriters. The band had a commercial rebirth at the end of the '70s that lasted until the early '80s. By the end of the '90s, they had broken up.

Russian-American soprano Zhanna Alkhazova has most recently made her debut in the title role of TURANDOT with NJ Verismo Opera under the baton of Lucy Arner. Of this performance Opera News' David Shengold wrote: "Zhanna Alkhazova wielded a bright, sword-flashing sound." This season, Ms. Alkhazova is scheduled to make her Opera Connecticut house debut as NEDDA in I Pagliacci.
In the 2019-2020 season, Ms. Alkhazova was featured as LIZA in highlights from Tchaikovsky's The Queen of Spades with the Metropolitan Opera Guild at Lincoln Center. She also appeared as ELIZABETH in a concert performance of Verdi's French version of Don Carlos. She then performed as the soprano soloist in Dvorak's The Spectre's Bride with Harvard University Chorus and Orchestra. Other appearances included her Jordan Hall debut in a joint recital of operatic highlights, same program with which she appeared at Carnegie Hall. Her spring performance with the Russian Chamber Art Society was praised by Leslie Weisman of the DCMetro calling her performance "masterful" and her voice "effortless…with an exquisite ease…"
Ms. Alkhazova made her Sarasota Opera debut in 2018 in the title role of MANON LESCAUT, when she stepped in for an ailing colleague. Of her performance in the title role as MANON LESCAUT with Regina Opera, James Jorden of the NY Observer wrote that she "flaunted a cool, silvery soprano with a high C whose poise Anna Netrebko might envy. What's more, she made the unlikely "love at first sight" plot point in the first act utterly believable with the sort of beguiling flashing glances one reads about but seldom sees outside of an Ava Gardner film." She made her Geneva Opera debut in the role of DONNA ELVIRA in Don Giovanni. Earlier in the season she debuted as TAMARA in Rubinstein's The Demon with Commonwealth Lyric Opera.
Early professional engagements included the title role in TOSCA, LEONORA in Il Trovatore, the title role in IOLANTA and NEDDA in I Pagliacci. Ms. Alkhazova has sung with Des Moines Opera, Opera New Jersey, Opera Boston, New Rochelle Opera, Martha Cardona Opera Theater, Long Island Opera and others. Internationally, Ms. Alkhazova has performed in Italy, Ireland, Canada and Russia, where she headlined a critically acclaimed recital tour. She is a frequent featured soloist with the Refugee Orchestra Project and has been featured on the cover of a Russian-American magazine.
Ms. Alkhazova was awarded top prizes in the NJ Verismo Opera Competition, the Barry Alexander International Vocal Competition, the Arkadi Foundation Competition and the Rhode Island NATS Competition. She was named finalist in the Career Bridges Competition, Kaliningrad International "Nightingale" Competition and a semi-finalist in The Montserrat Caballé International Singing Competition and the Elizabeth Connell International Competition for Dramatic Sopranos.
Originally from Moscow, Russia, Ms. Alkhazova grew up in the New England area where she completed her studies, graduating with a Master of Music Degree from Boston University.


A seaside resort among the most popular Tyrrhenian ones, Forte dei Marmi is located around a jetty set up during the sixteenth century to ship the apuan marbles. Since 1788 this has been sheltered through an outpost which had been built by Leopoldo I and is still visible in the middle of Garibaldi Square. Just about every european noble but also diplomats, businness-men and managers, artists and V.I.P.s had their bautiful villas, protected by the greenery of the pinewoods, built in this zone. Moreover they chose its sandy beaches to spend their holidays and to relax themselves.
During the last century Forte dei Marmi has become a famous tourist resort and its value is recognized all over the world: although a part of the original environment has been turned into enchanting gardens, kitchen gardens and luxuriant meadows sorrounding beautiful villas, the man-nature relationship has been kept intact. Nature even dominates man, whose often careless and abusing presence it reshapes. From Forte dei Marmi a tourist can rediscover many historical and cultural architectural evidences, enchanting villages situated on the numerous valleys or on the hills and enjoy the spell of the Apuan Alps.
The hotels in Forte dei Marmi are well depicted in this web-site which I hope to be a useful incentive for you to be our guests. Versilia offers the tourist the possibility to play the sport he/she likes best: mounteneering, sailing and may others.
The Apuan Alps allow the climbers, either traditional or free-climbing, to make very interesting climbs. Moreover the Apuan Alps allow the hiker to cover itineraries in every season and of every level.
Sailors of every raiting level could take advantage of the sea and of the Massaciuccoli lake as well. The sea gives the opportunity to surf too (when the weather allows it). The sport facilities are available to train or compete: The Apuan Alps allow the climbers, either traditional or free-climbing, to make very interesting climbs.

VIDEO: Landis+Gyr brings smart metering to Austria
Netz Burgenland Strom is one of the seven largest electricity distribution system operators in Austria and has more than 200,000 metering points in its network
Landis+Gyr will supply its smart metering solution, Gridstream which will run on G3 PLC technology to Netz Burgenland Strom. The agreement includes the supply of infrastructure for the utility's head-end-system, which enables the utility to remotely read all meters in its network.
Netz Burgenland Strom is one of the seven largest electricity distribution system operators in Austria and has more than 200,000 metering points in its network. It awarded Landis+Gyr the contract following a pan-European tender.
Under the terms of the agreement, the first 3,000 meters will be installed in late 2015. The next rollout step, comprising 20,000 further devices, is planned for 2016, with the full meter park to be replaced with smart meters by 2019.
G3 is an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based technology, which is a modulation format used for many of the latest wireless and telecommunications standards. It enables fast and cost-efficient data transfer over existing power lines: Very high volumes of data can be communicated over electricity networks using G3 and by doing so, opportunity for future smart grid. applications are created. Crucially, as power line communication enables energy data to be transferred over existing electricity networks, the operation and installation costs are extremely low.
The smart residential meter, the E450 from Landis+Gyr, will be rolled out across the network of Netz Burgenland Strom from November this year. The meter enables core functionalities that include multi-energy metering and personal energy management, which allows for direct communication between the utility and the end-consumer.
Landis+Gyr's Gridstream is an end-to-end smart grid solution that combines metering, communications, network management, software, grid and consumer applications, as well as professional services in a single secure and integrated platform.
In April 2012, the Austrian Ministry for Economy, Family and Youth passed a decree that stated 95 percent of the country's meters must be 'smart' by the year 2019. The act was passed as a response to the framework set out in the EU's 3rd Energy Package, which states that at least 80 percent of European households should be enjoying the benefits of smart metering by the year 2020.

Do you have to be verified on Tiktok to make money?
Home Freelance Do you have to be verified on Tiktok to make money?
Ludiah Freelance April 11, 2022 December 13, 2022
Last Updated on December 13, 2022 by Ludiah
Do you have to be verified on Tiktok to make money? First, there has not been any rule establishing that you have to get the verification badge to start making money on TikTok. But it's common knowledge that having more followers and influence increases your chances of landing lucrative brand deals. And, similarly, the more followers and influence you have, the more likely you are to get verified.
So, do you have to be verified on Tiktok to make money? No, you don't have to be verified to make money on Tiktok. While it's not necessary to be verified in order to earn money on Tiktok, the better the quality of your account, the more you can earn.
And in case you're wondering how to get your TikTok account verified and increase your earning potential, keep reading to learn more!

TikTok is the world's most rapidly expanding social networking platform. It's an app that lets you use videos and music to create and share fun content. The platform has taken the world of social media by storm. The number of downloads on the app store have exceeded 1.5 billion since its debut, and currently has more than 800 million monthly active users.
With TikTok becoming more popular, many are questioning how they can possibly monetize it. Creators have especially inquired whether they must be verified to earn money from their videos. While being verified provides you an advantage when it comes to negotiating sponsorship partnerships with various businesses, TikTok does not compensate its verified producers. However, there are a number of tactics you may employ in order to profit from the site.
If you're interested in learning how to make money on TikTok, this post is for you.
You cannot request verification in the same way that you do on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. Rather, TikTok has devised strict rules developed by their Creator Launch Team that is responsible for awarding the blue badge to deserving persons. TikTok expert, Rachel Pederson, who works closely with the Creator Launch Team, shared some of the verification criteria, which are:
This is where people start asking how many followers do you need to get verified on TikTok? Anything between 500-2000 per day is recommended. In short, you must be gaining new fans on a daily basis. If you already have a huge fan base on other social networks, be sure to refer them to your TikTok account and encourage them to follow you there as well.
Another crucial metric is the length of time individuals spend watching your content. Increasing this number may be as simple as making videos that people want to watch all the way through or revisit again and over. Looping videos can also help you increase your audience.
You might get verified if you continuously create viral content. So, make interesting videos that get you more likes, comments, and shares.
Your chances of getting the verification badge will increase if you have good press coverage under your belt because it gives you some credibility.
Earning that TikTok Verified Badge has to be at the top of your to-do list for a variety of reasons:
Authority. Your account will be formally authorized by TikTok as a trusted thought leader upon verification, bolstering your credibility throughout the site.
Authenticity. Since followers feel they're communicating with a real person, your material will appear more genuine and legitimate after your profile is verified.
Increased visibility. Verified content reaches a larger audience because the TikTok algorithm favors it, and more often because the platform is aware that this is the content individuals are interested in.
More credibility. When followers know who's behind the account, they're more inclined to believe it and share the content, extending the user's reach even further.
It is unfortunate that TikTok's official verification isn't totally clear, so there's no foolproof way to get a TikTok Verified Badge. Instead of depending on wishful thinking, there are a few things you can do to tip the scales in your favor. To enhance your chances of getting confirmed, follow these guidelines!
The "For You" page, which systematically organizes your videos, is one of TikTok's most useful features. Yet, the more interesting your videos are, the more your followers are likely to share them with their friends. And the more they share, the more inclined you are to be verified.
Having the blue checkmark on your other social profiles is like a rubber stamp, so obtaining it on those platforms may increase your chances of acquiring it on TikTok. You may request the verification badge on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, which makes things significantly simpler. If you haven't already, it's advisable for you to attempt and get verified on these other platforms. The more, the better!
TikTok checks accounts to see whether they follow their community guidelines and terms of service. The moderators will flag you if you break these guidelines, and your chances of being verified will be greatly reduced.
First, can you make money on TikTok if you're not verified? Yes. There are so many ways to make money on TikTok. Here are some of them.
Just like on those other social media platforms, becoming an influencer is one of the surest ways of making money on TikTok. A report from Forbes noted that the most popular TikTok content creators made millions of dollars in 2020 alone. The likes of Addison Rae made more than $5 million in that year, with 54 million followers.
You must be asking-must one have millions of followers to become a TikTok influencer? Numbers are important, but the number of followers isn't a criterion that marketers rely on to select influencers. The majority of businesses are concerned with the extent to which the followers are actively engaged. It is possible to have an actively engaged audience with only 20,000 followers than an influencer with 100,000 followers.
One more thing, big influencers can be expensive because they reach a wider audience. For this reason, most brands find influencers with a smaller number of influencers more favorable to work with.
The strategy is already in use on Instagram, so it could be imitated on TikTok. To begin rolling, choose a niche of interest and make great content surrounding it. When that profile attains a desirable following, you could sell it to companies in that niche.
Themed accounts are especially easy to sell compared to personal accounts. The profile's followers engage with it especially because of that theme, and they are unlikely to realize the change of ownership when you sell it. An example is a TikTok account that makes videos specifically about travel and adventure. It is easy to sell such a profile to a company offering services. The same can be simulated in other niches like fitness, food, and fashion.
TikTok typically lets content creators receive virtual gifts which have a fiscal value through live streaming. When holding a live session, your fans can send virtual gifts using "coins". You can convert these gifts into diamonds and later exchange them for real money that is deposited directly into your PayPal account.
Pro Tip: Your profile name should match that in your PayPal account for you to receive the funds.
But here's the hook:
Not all TikTok content creators are entitled to get into the TikTok Livestream Program. Selection is done at the platform's discretion. For you to become eligible, ensure to:
Produce high-quality content on a regular basis.
Grow your TikTok following.
Boost engagement rates.
You could earn a living on TikTok by sharing commercial videos. The business insider noted that each sponsored view on TikTok may earn between $0.01 and $0.02 USD.
Grow a TikTok fanbase and approach businesses to sell your service. Begin by researching the influencers in your chosen business to learn about the sponsors with whom they collaborate. This will help you decide which brands to contact.
Send an email pitch when you've compiled a list of potential sponsors. In your pitch include details of:
· Who you are
· What you do
· Key KPIs like the number of followers and the rate of interaction
· Achievements- share success examples from previous sponsorship campaigns
Pro Tip: At the start, consider working with smaller brands. They are easier to convince and help you build your portfolio.
Selling your own stuff on TikTok is another clever method to make money. The most intriguing aspect is that you wouldn't need lots of followers to begin selling your brand. The key is to create innovative content that will capture the mind of the target clients. So, even if you just have 1000 followers, you may generate sales on the site.
If your company offers beauty items, for example, you might create innovative 1-minute cosmetic tutorial clips and upload them on TikTok. You may include a promotional chassis at the end of the movie that advertises your items and how people can contact you.
If your goal is to make money as a TikToker and have been asking: do you have to be verified to make money on TikTok? The answer is no. However, verification does bring certain benefits. And as you've seen, there are several options for earning money on TikTok. By posting videos on this network, you have numerous options for making an income with your creativity and skills. Keep producing great niche-specific content to earn influencer endorsements and other money-making opportunities.

Our Worth Is Not in What We Own
Video Excerpt

Fifteen-Minute Gospel Presentation
Sing! Conference | Belfast, Northern Ireland
Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:15 Topic: The Gospel
After the congregation sang "My Worth Is Not in What I Own," John Piper presented this gospel message at the Sing! Belfast conference.

Let's put God's absolute authority underneath that song like a rock foundation, so that you don't feel that song just as poetic sentiment or musical pleasure alone, but as unshakable reality. And I have in mind not just the thousands of believers in this room, but the hundreds of you who have come, by providence, that you might believe.
We are unworthy of Christ, and we have great worth because of Christ, at the cross.
With all your worth, you are not your own treasure; Christ is, at the cross.
Trust that looks away from self to Christ becomes the ultimate satisfaction of the self, at the cross.
Let's take those one at a time and put God's authority underneath them, and I invite you to hear for your own soul.
1. Encounter True Worth
We are unworthy of Christ, and we have great worth because of Christ. The final verse of "My Worth Is Not in What I Own" went like this:
Two wonders here that I confess:
My worth and my unworthiness,
My value fixed — my ransom paid
At the cross.
One of the most beautiful sentences in the Bible is that "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners" (1 Timothy 1:15). What is sin? Sin is a mindset that prefers other things more than God, and therefore sin exchanges God for created things. And therefore sin belittles God, demeans God, is rebellious against God.
That's who we are — every one of you. We are that way. "None is righteous, no, not one" (Romans 3:10). Christ died for us, not because we are worthy, but because we are unworthy, and there was no other way for us to be made worthy.
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person — though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die — but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:6–8)
We are saved by grace. The death of Jesus is not divine compliance with fair trade laws. It wasn't a fair trade. The Son of God died; rebels live. That's not fair. That's grace, and that's how I stand here.
What happens as a result? Jesus put it like this:
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. . . . Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. (Matthew 10:29, 31)
All because of the cross. That's paradox number 1: We're unworthy of the cross — and, because of the cross, we are worthy.
2. Discover Real Treasure
With all your worth, you are not your own treasure; Christ is, because of the cross. The refrain of the song goes like this:
I rejoice in my Redeemer,
Greatest Treasure,
Wellspring of my soul.
Why didn't the verse come to a climax like this?
I rejoice in my new worth,
I am my new treasure,
I am the new wellspring of my soul,
I am at last somebody.
"Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners."
Why didn't the cross result in that kind of song? It didn't. Why not? Why won't we sing for ages long that "I am my treasure"? You won't sing that way in heaven. Heaven is not a hall of mirrors where the greatest joy is that we get to like what we see. You were made for something infinitely better than yourself. Your soul, your worth could never satisfy you — ever. You weren't made to find deepest satisfaction in having worth.
Listen to the way the saints sing in celebration of being redeemed into priests to God — into the kingdom of God.
Worthy are you to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God
from every tribe and language and people and nation,
and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God,
and they shall reign on the earth. (Revelation 5:9–10)
The song that breaks out in heaven forever is not "Look, traitors got in. Blasphemers are now priests." That's not the song. The song is "Worthy are you." You were made to be made priests, to be made a kingdom, so that you could enjoy making much of Jesus as Lord. You will never be worthy enough to be your own treasure. You were made to treasure him above all. You can't be the wellspring of your own soul — because of the cross.
3. Find Full Satisfaction
Trust that looks away from self to Christ becomes the ultimate satisfaction of the self, because of the cross. Here's the way the refrain ends:
. . . Greatest Treasure,
I will trust in him, no other.
My soul is satisfied in him alone.
And I ask you now as I draw to a close, Do you want that? Do you want to be a Christian? Do you want to be able to say, "My worth is in the costly wounds"? Do you want to be able to say, "My worth is in the blood that flowed"? Do you want to be able to say, "My value fixed — my ransom paid at the cross"?
How do you become a Christian? How do you become a true Christian? And you know the answer. Almost everybody in this country would probably say something like, "Trust Jesus." What's that mean? What does that mean? How do you trust a treasure? What does it mean to trust a wellspring?
"You were made for something infinitely better than yourself."
The song tells us, the Bible tells us, "My soul is satisfied in him alone." What does alone mean in that song? Really? That doesn't mean you can't enjoy a meal tonight. It doesn't mean you can't enjoy friends. It means that all those gifts — all those gifts of Christ — are now means by which you taste Christ, more of Christ. And it means that if Christ takes them away — all the friends, all the food, and even your life — he's enough.
He is all-satisfying as your treasure and your wellspring. That's what alone means. He's there in everything, he's there after everything, and he's enough. To trust a treasure is to embrace and rest in him as your satisfaction like that. It's a gift of grace.
A Prayer for Northern Ireland
I offer him to you. Jesus offers himself to you, and I would like to pray for you. If I could have come to Northern Ireland just to pray what I'm about to pray, it would be enough.
Father, it is grace that anyone would listen to me now. It will be grace if anyone is longing and leaning into this song, this truth, this word from you. And I ask for the grace of treasure in Christ that is saving faith.
I ask, Lord, if there are people right now who are saying, "I can't do that," I pray that they would at least pray for the strength to do it. And I ask, Lord, for every believer in this room that they would so treasure Christ, that Christ would be such a wellspring of joy for their souls through all their troubles, that they would have courage to commend Christ to every person in this nation, indeed in this island.
And lastly, Lord, I ask that if any is saying, as we all do, "I don't know if I can last, I don't know if tonight's sense of calling on my life will last — I'm young or I'm old, and I don't know if I can persevere that far in this new thing you're calling me to do," I pray, Lord, that as we sing now, you would answer that question: You will hold us fast. That's the only way we'll make it.
Lord, draw people now into this song and into yourself forever.

This week we are on holidays. A traditional family beach holiday with a plethora of boogie boards, sunscreen, sandcastles, and all the ball games you can think of. It has been lovely. We are ignoring the absence of the Aussie summer, but I am sure that somewhere in the world the current temperature of 22 degrees celsius constitutes a glorious summer's day. We are pretending the same here. It has not halted the trips to the beach.
But today I have felt the need to reconnect to the cyber world. What's going on out there? How many blog posts have happened, how many pictures on pinterest have I missed? Some may say I have a problem – but I'll just refer to it as one of my passions. I don't have an iphone or any similar technology by which to check online status updates or to add to my own blog posts while out of the home zone. I won't do an "oh woe is me" spiel here – I don't have the technology for no special reason except that I have never sought it out. I think 2013 will be the year of new technology. An iphone, ipad, an external hard drive, some new tech stuff for the TV, and a new digital camera as the current one is on its way to crapping itself (as you will tell by some current and near future posts). I also think I will start wearing a watch again.
The laptop is on holidays with us. Not for any bad work related reasons. Consequently I can (re)connect with the cyber world. Hooray!
Today we went for a lovely walk into town and there is a charming bookshop there. How long has it been since you last bought a book from a good old fashioned bookshop? It has been a while for me. I tend to buy my books online, and they are my standard gift during Christmas so I definitely buy a lot during this season. This year however I have not done the online things so much. I wanted to go out and buy them myself and I really noticed the diminished presence of the bookshop. I could buy books from Myer, BigW and the like, but when searching for a special not current best-selling book I found it a little disappointing. And the browse factor is gone. Oh how I love to browse.
At the bookshop today, Boobook on Owen at Huskisson, I enjoyed the browse. I felt a little naughty caressing the books, lightly touching their covers, peeking into a few that seduced my glance. And it was calm. No poky aisles with shelves packed to the brim with numerous copies of the same book. Instead there was space to peruse, to stroll and meander, a place to sit and indulge a little in something that caught my eye. And all four kids were quiet. Whisper quiet. We are not naturally a rowdy bunch but we are voluminous. A genetic mishap (my side of the family I hate to admit) has meant most of us know only two volumes with our vocal chords – silent and full-ball-loud. And given we are not a shy bunch either, loud is what one normally gets. But today at Boobook on Owen we were all quiet.
A book each. What a joy. What a glory. I can't wait to go back tomorrow and introduce myself to a few other friendly tomes.
How long has it been since you last enjoyed a bookstore? Which is your favourite?


1. Does your home have cold spots…areas where there is no evidence of a draft, but you can feel one anyway? Oftentimes, spiritual activity is accompanied by cold wisps of air and chilling puffs against your skin. They can be a barely-noticeable occurrence, or very strong. Goosebumps can result. Pay attention, these can be very tell-tale.
Do the inhabitants of your house hear unexplainable noises, usually in the middle of the night? Barring all possibilities such as pipe air, outside noises, the house settling and other completely rational explanations, these noises can include but are not limited to – whispers, footsteps, thumps and bumps, moans, crying, and laughter, including children, aside from the noise things make being moved. Most standard recorders can pick up these noises. If you have these, listen closely because you may have captured some EVPs as well.
Do your dogs or cats tend to avoid or obsess about a particular location in your home? Animals are extremely sensitive to paranormal occurrences and "vibes". They will often stare at a particular spot for no specific reason, growl at thin air, flee from nothing and bark at something you can't see. Sooth the animal and get it to calm down. Take notice of when and where these things happen and see what other signs might be going on. Pay heed to your pets. They're innocently psychic.
Do you find that friends or family mention feeling a particular way in your home or specific location in the home? Are they spooked at times? Do they talk about nighttime occurrences or feelings they have? Those who don't live full time in the house will often feel more spirit energy than those living there. We can grow "immune" to the feelings in our own house. Pay attention to what visitors say.
Very common scents that are not usual to your surroundings can indicate some spirit activity. The sense of smell is extremely strong in relation to memory for human beings. We can smell a particular aroma and be taken instantly back to a strong memory we've stored that is connected to that smell. Perfumes, flower scents, earthy scents and cooking smells are some of the scents detected in relation to ghostly activity.
Finally, open yourself to the experience of feeling the atmosphere of your own home. Clear your thoughts and breathe deeply, drawing in the ambiance around your house and filtering it through your senses. Does it feel charged with energy? Does it feel as though you're not alone? Does it feel like there are emotions there that don't belong to your or other inhabitants? These things all can indicate presences of spirit people and ghostly visitors.
If you find yourself nodding as your read these paragraphs, then once again open yourself to the idea that your house is likely haunted. Keep notes or a journal, with dates and times and details. This can be one of the best ways to backtrack and check on something. Investigate the signs of a haunting, call in ghost groups or simply leave well enough alone and live side by side with your spectral roommates.


Taking your initial instructions, undertaking due diligence exercises on the property, managing and exchanging contracts on your behalf, ensuring funds are transferred properly for completing the transfer of property, and registering the property in your name.
The below prices are estimates of the Total Cost to you which includes VAT and disbursements.
A typical property sale will take up to 12 weeks.
We require a £50 deposit, full payment is required on completion of the sale.
A typical property purchase will take up to 12 weeks.
We require a £300 deposit, full payment is required on completion of the purchase.
A typical property remortgage will take up to 8 weeks.
We require a £300 deposit, full payment is required on completion of the remortgage.
There may be additional fees based on the nature of your sale or purchase. For instance, if the property is leasehold there will be an additional fee.
Disbursements are costs related to third party services which we pay on your behalf. We have included all anticipated disbursements in the above prices.
Chris Greaves became a Partner of Evans & Greaves in 1994 and has dealt with conveyancing issues since 1985 when he started training . Recently he has adopted a supervisory role having left the day to day running of the files to the Head of Department.
Julie Davies started working for the firm as a legal executive. She later became a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives and now heads up the firms residential conveyancing practice.
Joanne Milton recently joined the firm to assist in the Conveyancing Department. She is a Student Member of the Charted Institute of Legal Executive and has enrolled to undertake the necessary course to qualify as a Chartered Legal Executive.
At this stage your solicitor will establish contact with everyone involved. We collect the relevant documents and information from everyone involved to get the process started.
This is where your solicitor does their due diligence. We perform searches on the property and surrounding area as well as reviewing the deeds and related paperwork to make sure you know exactly what you're getting into. If we catch anything out of the ordinary, we'll discuss it with you and work out how to move forward. When you're selling a property with us we respond to the new buyers queries and they perform the searches.
Based on the findings of this stage we write up a contract to confirm the terms of the property transfer. Once everyone agrees on the content of this contract we'll invite you to sign it and transfer us your deposit if you're making a purchase.
At the point where contracts are exchanged the transfer of property becomes binding. We will transfer your deposit if you're making a purchase and agree a 'completion date' which is when we will transfer ownership.
This is the day that the transfer is completed. Solicitors will confirm the transfer of funds due, and the keys are released from your estate agents – congratulations on your new home!
Following completion your solicitor will set about arranging the payment of any tax due, and the registration of the transfer of property with the Land Registry.
When it comes to mortgages your solicitor is required to review the offer as well as the other property documents (e.g. deeds). We'll check over your mortgage offer and make sure all the conditions are met. We may have to carry out some searches on the property at this point too to satisfy your mortgage lender.
Once your lender and you are content with the offer and that conditions are being met you sign the Mortgage Deeds. Your solicitor then gets an up-to-date settlement figure for your existing mortgage and we set a date to transfer all of the funds.
On the day the funds are transferred to us from your new lender we will settle any existing mortgages and we transfer any left over money to you. Finally, we register your new mortgage at the Land Registry.

Gigantic 110-foot Asteroid 2022 QZ6 to zoom past Earth on Wednesday
A gigantic 110 feet wide asteroid named Asteroid 2022 QZ6 is expected to zoom past Earth tomorrow- Wednesday. Here's what you need to know.
Nasa defines asteroids as rocky, airless remnants left over from the early formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. Most of them can be found orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter within the main asteroid belt. Asteroids come in all shapes and sizes, with the largest being nearly 530 kilometers in diameter called Vesta. Earth is being bombarded with asteroids this year. August alone has seen more than 35 asteroids passing by Earth closely. Now, another one is on its way.
Asteroid 2022 QZ6 to zoom past Earth
A 110 feet wide asteroid named Asteroid 2022 QZ6 is expected to zoom past Earth tomorrow, August 31. The asteroid is already on its way towards Earth, travelling at a staggering speed of 42,768 kilometers per hour. Nasa has issued a warning classifying the Asteroid 2022 QZ6 as a "Potentially Hazardous Object" due to the close proximity at which it will pass by Earth. Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) which pass by Earth within 8 million kilometers of the planet are classified as potentially hazardous objects. Although they don't collide with Earth, a slight deviation in their trajectory due to the Earth's gravitational pull can send them towards Earth for an impact.
The Asteroid 2022 QZ6 is expected to make its closest approach to Earth tomorrow, August 31, at a distance of just 784,000 kilometers. That makes it one of the closest asteroids to pass by Earth this year.
Nasa scrubs Artemis 1 launch
Nasa has postponed the launch of the Artemis 1 mission yesterday due to a malfunction in one of the four RS-25 engines of Nasa's new Space Launch System (SLS). The mission was scheduled for launch yesterday from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. However, a malfunction in one of the engines of the SLS caused engine 3 to bleed less, therefore delaying the launch. The launch was ultimately scrubbed for a later date. Nasa is expected to attempt another launch at 12:48pm EDT this Friday.
