This poncho style sweater with fringe is a simple and easy addition to a pair of medium wash jeans and black booties. I would accessorize this with a small black purse and black necklace with minimal embellishments. This is a super cute outfit that you can wear running errands or out to lunch with friends. This poncho is multi use and can be worn as an overlay to a dress, skirt, or dress pants.

News: Ty Dolla $ign Announces Debut Aussie Tour
(AUS) One of the hottest artists in the US, Ty Dolla $ign, is set to tour Australia & New Zealand for the first time later this month. The singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist, who's breakout single "Paranoid" from the Beach House EP continues to be played in clubs and on radio across the globe, has collaborated with some of the world's biggest artists including label-mate Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg, Trey Songz, YG, French Montana and Jeremih.
Ty Dolla $ign is also an accomplished songwriter, having written some of the biggest club anthems of the last few years including "Toot It & Boot It" by YG, and "Loyal" by Chris Brown. Adding to his growing resume, Ty recently returned from studio time with Kanye West where he lay down vocals for Kanye and Paul McCartney's recent collaboration "Only One".

Superb protection for your eyes, lungs and face—built-in motor prevents fogging and overheating!
Protect your lungs, face and eyes during virtually any woodworking task with the air-circulating Trend® Airshield Pro. Its built-in fan circulates filtered air to prevent fogging, provide cooling and protect users from dust particulates down to 0.6 microns in size at a 98% efficiency rate. This model also meets ANSI Z87+ standards for eye-protection. It features an improved headband with a ratchet suspension and pivoting nape back strap for enhanced comfort, fit and durability. The nickel metal hydride battery allows for up to eight hours of operation on a full charge, twice the length of previous models. Includes a charger, airflow indicator and pre-installed plastic film overlay to prevent buildup of sap after heavy turning jobs, and to prevent scratching.
Fully protects lungs and face during woodworking.
Twin filters with 98% efficiency.
New high-impact eye protection rating of ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2010.
Approved to new European standard BS EN 12941.
Combination face-seal and hood improves protection.
Motor positioned away from forehead to reduce noise.
Strategically designed for balance and comfort.
Works wonderful use it all the time while turning.
I have had COPD for a few years now and find this product excellent in protecting my breathing environment in my workshop.
I am getting use to the weight, I barely notice the fan noise anymore when tools are not running.
I produce a lot of fine heavy dust and I don't get any of it inside the mask. My eyes have not had any dust since I started using it and because I am not using a standard half face mask it is very easy to breath and the circulating air is wonderful. I highly recommend it.
Great protection from big things (a chunk of wood flying off of the lathe) and little (clouds of sawdust when sanding), doesn't fog up, and comfortable to wear so I am not tempted to "forget" to put it on.
This was a birthday gift for my husband. He loves it and now wants a spare battery.
This helmet has helped me so much with me breathing! My allergies and dust are hard to continue woodworking. Since I bought this helmet it's been great!!
I have only had a chance to use this a few times, but I love it for turning. It's very comfortable other than being a little top heavy. Gives me extra confidence when turning and sanding. Surpirsed how much my dust collection system lets by.
An excellent product that has lessened if not eliminated harmful dust and fine wood dust.
I would recommend this shield/respirator. It fits me well after making adjustments. I didn't have any difficulty wearing glasses under it despite some reviews I read that indicated otherwise.
This device takes the curse out of masks, respirators and goggles. If it could be improved it would be lighter weight and provide noise protection, too. But, you can't have everything and I am happy with this purchase.
A very important piece of equipment I wish I had a long time ago.
I hesitantly purchased this air shield after reading some of the problems users were having with batteries being charged. I have used mine for over a year and (knock on wood), I use it, it keeps the dust out and it runs 3-4 hours at a time on a charge. In fact I have never drained the battery during use. I plug it in when done using. It can take 24 hours or more to fully charge. It has worked well.
I also purchased the ear defenders. They do help block external noise. But the fan in the Air Shield is noisy. The noise radiates thru the helmut right thru the head. So the Ear Defenders don't do anything to eliminate the helmut fan noise. But I still use them. You will think you are going to break the Ear Defender arms when popping them out to remove the helmut. But just put a thumb under eadh and force them out. They do click open and don't break.
Works great in the wood shop and outdoors when using a power blower. I am hypersensitive to wood dust and bought this for health reasons, I can still work in shop.
I did some woodturning this weekend where I didn't utilize the mask but paid the price of sawdust in the sinus. The next day working on another project with lots of sanding of redwood I put the mask on for the first time. There was sawdust all over the face of the mask leading me to believe I would have been breathing that in. I think I'm really going to like having this especially having the sinus problems that I do.
My air shield made the difference between giving up woodworking and continuing to enjoy it! What more can I say?
Takes some getting used to. Neck muscles need to build up a bit. Not really that heavy but the new additional weight does need some getting used to. Love breathing clean air while sanding and routing.
I have had problems with sinuses for years that is almost instantly aggravated whenever I start breathing sawdust. I have tried a variety of other dust masks from surgical masks to fan powered respirator type masks. All with a at least some relief but not complete. In addition when using a regular face mask for turning I have had problems with the mask fogging over. The Air Circulating Shield has ;really helped with both problems. I have had considerable less breathing problems since I started using the mask and only when I start cutting or sanding, forgetting to put on the shield. My only discomfort when using the mask is the weight and noise of the fan. Both problems could possibly be solved if the battery pack and fan were on a separate module which could be fastened to a bent and connected to the helmet by a flexible tube as is used for C-pac machines.
Performs as described. There is enough clearance you can wear goggles over Rx glasses. Hearing protection will not cover ears tightly enough to seal against high dB Noise. (Guess I need a fatter [wider] head LOL). Battery recovery time is very, very long with respect to 2016 technology. Does readily clear fogging of the clear shield.
Works beyond my expectations. I did buy the optional ear protection. This prove dot be very worthwhile. They cancel a lot of noise. Highly recommend this air shield.
After using this for about a month I must say that it was worth the money.
works well but the headband starts to hurt after a while.
When I first tried it on I was not impressed. After properly tightening the head band. I adjusted my glasses, lower the face mask and turned it on to a light breeze across my face. I thought this was not going to work. I then did the outside and inside of a bowl and then did some power sanding. Face mask collected dust, so I wipe it off. When I got done, and took it off, I noted three important things. First, my glasses were clear with no dust - so it must be working. Second, no dust or grit on my face or eyes. Third, my throat felt no discomfort. After two or three uses, I absolutely think this is the best product ever!!!
That being said one lesson from the school of the had knocks. This mask is heavy. You don't make any quick movements with it on. Your neck and trap muscles feel a little strain after 45 minutes of use. But with every use there after you get stronger and have less strain. By the fifth use I felt no strain.
The Visor is now a part of my every wood turning adventure. I dream of the day when I get a unit like this with the motor, filter, and battery in a belt unit connected by hose to my light weight visor. Yes, I know the product exist with another company - but their price is outrageous.
It's nice to have a cool breeze blowing across your face, really comfortable.
After breathing in dust for years and years I made the plunge and invested in the Airshield Pro. Should have done it much sooner but certainly enjoy having it in my shop. I use it whenever I am sanding or doing anything that creates small dust particles.
You want fresh air then this is the ticket!
If you value your lung health, this is the unit to buy. Yes it's expensive but if you're going to be a wood worker, you need to do everything you can to keep fine dust out of your lungs. I've used mine several times for 8-12 hours at a time and it works great. The noise of the fan isn't noticeable compared to the sound of shop equipment and there doesn't appear to be any dust getting through the filters. The constant flow of fresh clean air across the face shield keeps it from fogging. Once you get the fit adjusted to your head and wear it for a while you will almost forget you're wearing it. Obviously, I like mine a lot.
I have been using the Trend Airshield Pro for about 4 years. It works better than any other type of shield / mask I have used. Most of the others will for my glasses, this is not an issue here.
My only complaint is the cost of the replacement filters. I think that about $50.00 is a bit too expensive.
The hearing protectors also leave a lot to be desired in both protection and comfort. I have stopped using them and use ear plugs in their place. They are just too uncomfortable and never fit your ears well.
I would recommend this product and the company that provides it. Yes it is expensive but so are your lungs and eyesight. I wear glasses. Wearing a dust mask they fog with the Airshield not a problem. The motor is quiet and the air makes the Airshield easy to use during hot weather. Sanding while wood turning and you can breath.
I've only had it for a week but I am so impressed with the quality, fit and the feeling of being free from conventional breathing masks. The first few days I would be turning and suddenly think 'I didn't mask up', it seems like it's not there with its comfortable fit. It is truly a feeling of being in a protective environment with no restrictive equipment.
Battery life exceeded 9 hrs (and was still not sounding an alarm) and that was on the first charge.
It's so good I had to give it 5 stars... even though the cost of a spare battery is rediculous and the non-smart charging system is nothing Trend should be proud of. I knew that prior to the purchase so that's on me, the unit itself is fabulous.
Absolutely satisfied. Easy to use, Only regret not getting the ear protection.
bought the Trend Air/Pro as a less expensive alternative to outfitting my shop with a room-size ventilation system. Prior to this time, I used various dust masks with reasonable success, but less than adequate. My wood working primarily involves carving and a lot of sanding. I gave the Trend Air/Pro a "5 Star" rating because it does exactly as advertised, and while I am still faced with a very dusty shop, at least the dust is not getting into my lungs. The unit fits very comfortably on my head. It is whisper quiet. There was a little initial confusion as the ongoing fan sound sometimes made me double check that I had actually turned off the tool I was using! : ) I experienced some neck fatigue the first couple uses, usually after 2 hours of carving/grinding/sanding. This is no longer a problem and I can wear the thing all day without fatigue. I would recommend this product highly; it is not a replacement for eliminating all the environmental dust in your shop, but it will keep you supplied with clean, dust free air while you are working. Nice product!
Excellent air filter. Works exactly as described.
This is a highly engineered air filter system. Mine works perfectly. I have a size 8 head, and it fits all the way extended out. I do not take it off, nor do I turn it off once I start woodworking. I charge it between uses. It I usually use it about 4-5 hours at a time. It is comfortable. I also have the ear protectors - which quiet machine noise, quiet the low hum of the airflow noise, and holds the helmet in place. I have the helmet a not tight so the ear cups actually hold the helmet snug - very comfortable. I have ashma - it is helping a lot, even though I also have a complete shop dust collection system.
Wow what a difference. This is a really good product. It is a little too heavy after wearing it for over an hour, but it was very easy to get use too. I have it four stars for its weight on the head and the head strap. The head wrap is not the quality I would expect in an item of this price point.
This does an excellent job of giving me clean air to breathe. I do have to get used to wearing something on my head all of the time. I have a little trouble opening and closing it past my glasses. After reading reviews, I did not get the ear muffs. I plan to go the ISO Tunes Pro rout. Still would recommend.
Purchased the Trend Airshield Pro because my lungs could no longer tolerate the dust I'd been breathing in. I had considered a Hobby Air system but did not like the idea of dragging a hose behind me around my shop. The Airshield is a terrific alternative to dust mask or respirators as it actually works especially for those of us that have full beards. I only gave it 4 stars because I feel the head gear could be improved for comfort and fit by a cross style top strap. I wear a welders cap under the Airshield to keep it from sliding on my hair and add a comfortable fit against the tightened head band. Wish a product like this had been available.hen I was much younger!
It works as advertised. Need some time to adjust it properly. A little top heavy, so when you lean over it slides off.
I would recommend this hood to anyone whoever tried to get by with paper masks and has glasses or facial hair. My sinuses are starting to clear up the fresh air extends the comfortable work time. If they could make it a little quieter it would get 5 stars.
I found it to be lighter and less noisy than expected. Head band is very comfortable.
However, after charging battery for the recommended time I tried the unit out and the electronics failed! Couldn't turn unit off. I called Trend, they said they hadn't heard of that problem and would send me a new power unit. Waiting on unit.
Have used the air pro twice now. Works fairly well. Helmet can be a little heavy after a while but for the most part it works pretty well. For the most part it stays fog free. Although I was getting a little bit the other day when I used it. But not a whole lot. Been using it while I do lots routing and has performed well. Biggest down side is the overall cost. It's nearly $400 which I feel is over priced.
Great option for keeping dust out of mouth, nose, and eyes.
After trying many different masks and respirators over the years of remodeling and managing leased properties, i could never find one that worked decently with a beard and that would not cause the ridge of my nose to ache after a couple of hours.
The Airshield is a product that solves several issues for me - no aching line on my nose, no dust in my eyes, no fogging up my glasses, and no seal necessary around the beard.
I have used the Airshield so far in woodworking, plaster removal, insulation, mowing dried leaves, and cleaning up construction sites. It has worked very well to control dust.
I do hope the designers will continue to improve new versions of the product, specifically to reduce the weight and to provide a HEPA level filter.
Helmet is somewhat top heavy and a bit wobbly if you are leaning over or looking down a lot.
Overall, I am happy with the Airshield and look forward to new design improvements.
I really like the Air Shield. I feel protected and it is reasonably comfortable. Easy to put on and care for.
Product has been a life saver for me. I have had several lung issue that have kept me out of the shop. Dust masks just don't cut it when you wear glasses. It's a little heavy at first, but you get used to it real quick. My only complaint was that it was a little pricey.
I have only used it a few times. I build corian and Laminate casework and counter tops. My shop is small and the shop dust collection is not good. The hood is considerably more comfortable then using dust masts and It seems to work well.
I think you have to baby it and keep it clean but it might be the answer for dusty environments.
I thinks its expensive. But if it continues to work and last for a several years I will be quite happy.
This is a great mask. I wear glasses and I have not had any problems with it fogging up. The internal fan does a great job of keeping the shield clear. The only issue I have with it, it gets to be a little on the heavy side. After doing about 20 /25 minutes of turning on my lathe, it started to get a little heavy, but nothing crazy..!!! Overall this was a great purchase.
I am on oxygen and need to spare my lungs as much as possible.
Getting to old to work without a really good protection for eyes, lungs.
Recommendations from other turners and need for lung and eye protection. After looking at several other vendors, your price was the best.
My Dad requested for Christmas, as he values his lungs and eyesight. Used one for years and time to replace.
Needed better air filtration, especially for sanding on turnings.
I do most of my wood turning in the winter months in an unheated, converted greenhouse. My regular face shield gets fogged up on the inside and needs frequent cleaning.
Tired of old style nose pinching, dust in your eyes respirators while remodeling, woodworking, mowing, crawl space spelunking, and restoring old homes. Looking for a comfortable option and Trend Air Pro has many good reviews! And, I have a beard and glasses...hoping this will be as good as reviewed!
For protection during wood turning.
As with most of the items I've purchased this year, the AirShield Pro is replacing the one I lost to the tornado. I have lung issues and wouldn't be able to enjoy my woodworking without it.
Best price and trust in Rockler Woodworking.
Good reviews by independent users with beards. Working with Arizona native woods is starting to take a toll on my lungs.
As a wood turner and wood worker I needed protection from the dust. I felt that this was the best option as it should not fog my glasses. Hopefully Trend has learned from customer feed back over the years and improved the headband and battery. I will soon find out.
Have had serious lung disease in the past - want to breathe clean air to protect lungs.
I need dust protection that I can keep on for long periods without separate mask, goggles and ear protection.
Works well if you do not have a very small head.
Good reviews on it and to protect my lungs.
How well does it work for metal grinding?
Does it work with beards?
BEST ANSWER: Yes it works with a beard. I have been using mine for a couple of years without any problems.
I have the triton mask and air pump. Is this superior to the Triton ?
Would it work for drywall sanding? Including sanding drywall ceilings for many hours.
BEST ANSWER: I've used it for drywall sanding and it worked fine. Just vacuum the filters to clean them (should be done anyway). Sanding ceilings might be taxing because there's a weight over your head to control. It's not very noticeable when your head is vertical.
I'm not an expert in drywall powder from sanding but I think it filters down to 2 microns (extremely efficient). Plus, with the police air pressure pushing out of the mask, it would keep pushing airborne powder away.
How can I get a replacement headband?
Are the filters washable? What is the typical life span for the filters?
BEST ANSWER: I have used my Trend Air Shield Pro for about a year and a half. I regularly vacuum the filters off with my shop vac from the outside of the helmet (sometimes carefully from the inside) while they are still mounted. This seems to work well as the airflow inside the face shield is still testing fine fine. I have not felt the need to replace the filters yet (I do wood turning). Trend has been extremely helpful whenever I have a question. I'm sure they can answer your washing question. I would not be afraid to try it, but I'd probably call them first. Hope this helps.
I believe so. Shaking/knocking out the dust has sufficed for cleaning mine. I expect them to last indefinitely.
Does the Trend Air/Pro come with the 10 pack of visor overlays? The part number suggests so but there is no mention in the product copy.
BEST ANSWER: There was not a 10 pack in the box but Rocker stood by their greatness by giving me a pack off the shelf.
Read the package details it does state a pack of 10 overlays in deal.
Mine came also came with one installed and an extra pack of 10.
Mine came with one on the visor and a pack of 10 extra.
How long does the filter last during normal use? Say, 3 hours per day?
BEST ANSWER: Depends on how much particulate matter is in the air.. it would also depend on what you are filtering, sawdust would be very different from plaster.
Once a month is probably a good rule of thumb.
I have had no problem using it for multiple days at three hours a day. I am a woodturner and so always have it on and running, sometimes the chips are bigger and then I also sand the pieces on the lathe. I don't use it only for sanding. I just knock the dust out of the filters once a week or so, or use my compressed air on it.
How long does the battery charge last? I know it says eight hours but I've heard it really doesn't last that long.
BEST ANSWER: When I first received mine, I had a lot of problems getting the battery to last more than about 1 or 1 1/2 hours. I called tech support and they sent me a cradle charger because I was just charging my battery through the helmet. When I began using the cradle, the battery immediately began going 8-10 hours on a charge. I have had no problems since.
I have been very unhappy. The charge for me lasts less than 20 minutes. It may be because it stays plugged in. however, if it isn't plugged in then it would never be charged when I need it.
Longest I have used mine is about 5 hours it was fine . I shut it off for 30 min. While I had lunch .
my husband says it usually lasts about 4-5 hours per charge.
How long does the battery seem to last for you?
I have a beard can I still use the air pro?
BEST ANSWER: Yes, you can. It's hard to see but there's a perforated, elastic band that runs around the faceplate which serves as an exhaust for the internal fan as well as a seal around your lower jaw. It extends below a beard without any tightness or restriction.
I don't have a beard, but I think so if it is not a really big and bushy beard. The elastic part that goes under your chin is fairly flexible. Hope this helps but you might want an opinion from someone with a beard.
I would think so ,as the shroud in the picture shows that it covers the whole facial area , sealing it off from the dust particles.
Yes, it doesn't have a sealed fit.
I would like to know exact price as well. My battery is giving out.
Easy answer: ROCKLER CATALOG SELLS IT FOR $72.99.
Sorry. I returned the item, because I did not like all the weight at the top. So I have no idea about batteries. You might check with Batteries Plus. They seem to sell almost every battery made.
I don't know. I haven't had to get extra batteries yet.
Is item compatiable with oxygen users ewho wear a cannulus 24/7?
BEST ANSWER: Although I don't wear a cannulus I know what it is and see no reason why it wouldn't work just fine with the Airshield Pro. The reason I say this is because of the flexible/stretchy fabric that circles the face. It's intended to be comfortable so it would allow for a tube to enter almost anyplace from ear to ear. I can feel a little air leaking out of the mask near my ears at times but it's due to the positive air pressure inside the mask. There are also a few manufactured holes under the chin which are there to let the air out. It's an extremely comfortable experience and I'll bet it wouldn't cause any issues with your setup. Good luck!
I really don't know, but my guess would be that would not be compatiable. You might want to ask some one who supplies your oxygen.
Does this helmet meet ANSI type 1 impact protection?
BEST ANSWER: I am not qualified to answer that question..I ordered the helmet because i have an incurable lung disease-f that has helped me enjoy the out doors again. contact Trend Airshield Pro direct for your answer.
The Trend Air/Pro face shield is rated z 87+ High Impact Protection.
This is low energy impact .
I use it on my wood lathe but would use safety glasses with side shealds if I was using an air nailer.
Not sure about ANSI type 1 impact protection. It is pretty well built and a solid face shield. Definitely better than saftry glasses or my other face shield.
I work renovating various vintage items usually made from metals such as brass copper and cast iron using a electric polishing mop and abrasive polishing compound, which creates a lot of dust, so I am just wondering if the blown air helmet would be suitable for protecting my lungs in this job?
BEST ANSWER: Yes the helmet is ideal for protecting its wearer against particulate inhalation. It ia not intended to filter solvents and does not contain a HEPA filter but will effectively block rust particles and most dusts and mold spores.
I feel that it will if it is just the dust you are worried about. It does nothing for the fumes that may be generated if the process creates them. It does well in keeping the sanding dust from wood out.
I need to wear glasses all waking hours . Will this mask cause my glasses to be an irritant?
I am a glasses wearer myself (bifocals). I have been using the Airshield Pro for about two years and have had no problems with it. The circulating air keeps my glasses clearer compared to when wearing a traditional face shield or safety glasses. You may have to adjust your head slightly to get clear vision through your glasses and the face shield, but well worth the investment.
I wear glasses too. It's not a problem. Also, I found that wearing a knit watch cap under the Air Shield Pro makes it much more comfortable. I use a smart charger rather than the one supplied with the unit. You can learn more about that on U-tube if you are interested. Air Shield Pro works great. I would buy it again.
Having to wear glasses all the time could be a problem for you. If you use this unit most of the time. I wear contacts and have had no issues.
I wear prescription safety glasses when using mine with no problems, however your mileage may vary.
I use a prescription glasses with the mask and works well for me.
I wear glasses and have no problem whatsoever with the mask.
No. I wear glasses with this mask without anybissues.
I work with heavey equipment in dusty conditions. will this work for me?
BEST ANSWER: I'm sure it would. My two comments on the unit are 1. if you spend a lot of time bent over, like over a work bench, the mask tends to slip forward unless you really tighten the head band which tends to give me a headache after a while. Secondly, the noise factor.
I use it for sanding. It keeps a lot of dirt/ and sawdust out of my face eyes and Lungs.
After an hour or so it gets a little heavy on my neck and I need to rest.
The Tool is a good aide!
It could. I find it doesn't secure snugly to my head. Maybe for you/your head you might get a better fit. It does take a little getting used to.
I believe that it will Bruce. Mine filters out fine particulate dust, so I'm certain it will also work in dusty conditions too.
It should help a lot. I use it for woodworking since I have become sensitized to the dust of a few wood species.
Can eyeglasses be worn when using mask?
BEST ANSWER: Yes, I wear them. Best thing about this is no small face mask and the fresh air giving positive pressure so you get no dust in your eyes or nose.
I have no problems using my reading glasses with my Airsheild pro. The filtered air flow from the top of the mask keeps the glasses from fogging and filter keeps the dust out. Very satisfied.
I suppose it depends on the size of the eyeglasses, but mine have plenty of clearance.
Absolutely! I wear eyeglasses and wear them while using the mask with np problem.
I HAVE ONLY USED IT ONCE NOW MY BATTERY WONT RECHARGE. Is there suppose to be a light on the charger when its charging?
BEST ANSWER: Hey Tim is it possible you have the battery installed incorrectly?
I did that the first time I installed the battery.
If you aren't having success visit the folks at Rockler!
Thanks mike I will check it out. My battery stays in the helmet while charging I plug the charger into the helmet. Does the cradle work better?
Can the filters be washed and reused?
BEST ANSWER: Michael I would not wash the filters donto the manner they are constructed. If you do I would not recomment any soap as this will leave a residue which will clog more quickly and also restrict air flow.
Carefully vacuuming the filter will pull the dust back the direction it attached and proling filter life..
As this is the fundamental purpose of this expensive device I would recommend filter replacement at least every other cleaning..
Always think of your own protection over cost..
The filters cannot be washed and reused. This is an industrial quality product and is designed to be used in very dusty environments. A little pricey, but a good product.
Sorry, I returned the unit right away, because I did not like the weight distribution. I cannot answer the question.
Is it satisfactory for glasses wearers?
BEST ANSWER: Yes, I find it very helpful with glasses as the air across your face from the fan will keep them from fogging up from your breath as they do with a face shield and/or mask.
Yes. I wear safety glasses under it all the time. Wearing safety glasses is a habit while in the workshop, so I put on the Trend helmet over the glasses.
yes, it works well with glasses and you no longer have to clean your glasses when you are woodturning!!!!
I wear glasses and have NOT had any issues wearing them with the helmet.
Yes. I wear shop bifocals with no problems.
Does this come with a draw string hood so dust doesn't get into the helmet?
BEST ANSWER: The vents in the top of the helmet draw air into and over the plastic faceplate by way of the rechargeable fan, also located in the top of the helmet. Each of the 2 sets of vents has a replaceable filter that keeps the dust from entering the helmet.
It doesn't come with a draw string. It comes with an elastic band about 1 1/4" wide all the way around the face opening. I haven't had any dust infiltration problems.
I does not have a drawstring but the material around the face shield has elastic around the edges that goes under your chin and up the sides.
It comes with elastic fabric from the shield that fits around the face, which does not allow dust to get in.
Yes it does. I really like it a lot.
Thank you Roy& Jim. I appreciate the answers. I'm going to try he fabric sheets first because i have them, them I'll try to find the static cleaner on line .
Have you tried to wipe it with a fabric softener sheet?
I'm a full time refinishing tech in a body shop, would you recommend this as a good respirator?
Good luck out there... remember the route of entry for VOC chemicals is through the lungs.
While I love mine for woodworking I do not use for wallboard sanding ornother ultra fine particulate.
This is only designed to filter dust, which it does very well. The optional ear protectors are also a plus. If you are being exposed to paint or chemical fumes, you'll need something else.
Does it filter out organic odors? I own a biohazard remediation company and looking for an alternative to the half face respirator.
BEST ANSWER: No, it's just a filter. Battery life and the weight of having the battery on top of one's head mean that it might not be a good choice for you. When I was looking for this, I found that 3M makes things more like what you're looking for.
not with the filters it came with. i haven't found ny filters for it capable of filtering out organic volatiles. Sure wish it would, since it'd be great for spraying lacquer and other stuff.
No it doesn't filter out organic orders. This unit is nothing more than a highly over priced dust mask.
I am only getting 2 hours use before it beeps to recharge the battery. Do I need a new battery? Don't see them listed for purchase.
BEST ANSWER: Check the battery connections for cleanliness first! If they look clean, cycle the battery in and out several times. If they look dirty, try something more aggressive like a pencil eraser or 2000 grit sandpaper (can't do this too many times). It's amazing how much of a difference this can make. Just rolling a cylindrical battery inside a TV remote or kid's toy can do a world of good.
If you're really sure that the connections are good, then yes you need a new battery. I get at least 4 hours per charge. Rechargeable batteries only last for 500-1000 cycles unless they're high-end batteries babied by sophisticated algorithms.
I've had mine for about 14 months but have only gone through 3 charges... usually after about 8-10 hrs of use. Batteries are expensive but I've seen them online, not necessarily on the rockler site.
I get several hours out of mine but usually don't last that long. I find the noise bothersome. Sounds like you need a new battery. Replacements are available.
Is it possible to use in mildly freezing temperature? E.g. 30F / -1C. I'd think in this case the "cooling" will work against me and freeze my face?
BEST ANSWER: I don't see this as a problem. Exhaled breath is near body temperature, therefore no freezing. Note: I used to be a regular long distance runner and often ran in sub-zero temperatures down to -40 degrees F without any breathing freeze!
I wear a stocking cap under the helmet.
I'm a mason and need protection from silica dust and often work in hot dusty locations.im looking for a light weight air assist respirator Any thoughts on this one?
I think it would work. You would most likely have to exchange the filter often because of the masonry dust. It is comfortable in my woodshop, but I'm always vertical.
Would this work in the cold? I work in a cold MN garage in the winters and need something that won't fog?
BEST ANSWER: I live in Southern California, so "cold" isn't something we're familiar with. However, I would be surprised if it fogged. The air flow inside the face shield is pretty good, which will reduce humidity and temperature inside, which ought to prevent fogging.
I don't have experience with those types of temperatures but you get a pretty good air flow behind the mask so the temperature should be pretty close to the same both sides of the shield. I would be surprised if fogging would be a problem.
Can I use this for lead paint during RRP work procedures?
BEST ANSWER: In my opinion, no. I wouldn't use it for any type of lead removal. Weather its paint or actual lead abatement. The unit doesn't seal well enough and the filters were not designed for heavy metals.
I don't think it has any chemical filtering at all. Absolutely fantastic for wood dust, which some are toxic, but not a chemical mask. I've used it a little while working with CA glue knowing that it's positive pressure so it's at least keeping the fumes from directly entering my nose.
I don't see why not. The paint will be particulate matter and the works well for that. It may be worth checking with Trend though.


In software engineering, decorator design pattern is used to add additional features or behaviors to a particular instance of a class, while not modifying the other instances of same class. Decorators provide a flexible alternative to sub-classing for extending functionality. Please note that the description above implies that decorating an object changes its behavior but not its interface.
This pattern is very important to understand because once you know the techniques of decorating, you'll be able to give your (or someone else's) objects new responsibilities without making any code changes to the underlying classes. Interesting, isn't it?? Also this pattern is really useful and commonly faced java interview question on design patterns.
A typical diagram of decorator pattern looks like this.
Component – this is the wrapper which can have additional responsibilities associated with it at runtime.
Concrete component– is the original object to which the additional responsibilities are added in program.
Decorator-this is an abstract class which contains a reference to the component object and also implements the component interface.
Concrete decorator-they extend the decorator and builds additional functionality on top of the Component class.
You have an instance, and you put another instance inside of it. They both support the same (or similar) interfaces. The one on the outside is a "decorator." You use the one on the outside. It either masks, changes, or pass-troughs the methods of the instance inside of it.
I always prefer to learn things by example. So, let's have one problem and let's solve it.
Let's have a common usecase where we have to show all user created reports to admin. Now, these reports can fall into these categories.
Both of these reports must have their first column as a link to original report and they should have different coloring. Possibly they should be opened in different popup window sizes. These are just few things, a lot can come in reality.
A possible approach can be to extend the Report object, and then have two separate classes ClientReport and SupportReport. In both methods, define private methods e.g. makeAnchorLink(), designPopup(), applyColor() and so on. Now call these methods in some getter method for first column data cell.
It will work if you stop here and do not modify the system anymore. But, let's say after few days you are told to apply different background colors for both kinds of report. Now you have only one way that define a method colorBackground() in both classes and call appropriately. Problem becomes worse when you have more number of reports in your system in future.
Above solution is a clear violation of Open/Closed principle mentioned in SMART principles for class design.
Above problem is a perfect candidate for decorator pattern. Remember when we have an object that requires the extension but by design that is not suitable, go for decoration.
Above problem can be solved easily by following class diagram. Here I am using only for Support reports. A similar class hierarchy can be build for client reports also.
If we have implemented our solution like this, anytime in future we can add additional decoration without modifying existing class hierarchy. That is the ultimate goal we had in starting of this post, right?
Let's see above class's source code to know how actually it looks like.
To download the complete source code and UML diagram, follow the download link in the end of post.
A) How to decide when to use decorator pattern?
If we drill down more on the concept, we find that Decorator Design Pattern has several requirement indicators to suggest that it is potential solution e.g.
We have an object that requires the extension e. a window control that requires additional "optional" features like scrollbars, titlebar and statusbar.
Several objects that support the extension by "decoration". Usually, those objects share a common interface, traits, or superclass, and sometimes, additional, intermediate super-classes .
The decorated object (class or prototype instantiation), and the decorator objects have one or several common features. In order to ensure that functionality, the decorated object & the decorators have a common interface, traits, or class inheritance.
No. AdapterPattern is used to convert the interface of an object into something else. DecoratorPattern is used to extend the functionality of an object while maintaining its interface. Both of these are probably sometimes called Wrapper Pattern since both of them do "wrap" an object.
The difference between a DecoratorPattern and subclassing is that In subclassing you can decorate any class that implements an interface "with a single class". Say I wanted to give myself a java.util.Map that printed a message whenever I added or removed a key. If I only ever actually used java.util.HashMap I could just create PrintingMap? as a subclass of HashMap and override put & remove. But if I want to create a printing version of TreeMap then I either create PrintingTreeMap? (which has almost identical code to PrintingMap?
2) In decorator column data in display-tag jsp library e.g.
3) Decorators are used in sitemesh, to give a consistent UI experience.
Thanks Lokesh.. Simple and understandable… And great comment also "Nothing feels better than a sense of being a part of someone's success" ……. Best of luck to you..
Nice example with simple coding style.
Nice article sir. I enjoy reading your blog. I want to thank you, recently i cracked a dream interview with help of this blog.
Great. Congratulations buddy. Nothing feels better than a sense of being a part of someone's success.

Q: How to filter Azure stream analytics input data from different IoT devices and process them to PowerBI I have 3 devices configured on my Azure IoT hub. All of them send the same kind of data (temp, humidity, light and their deviceId). I use this IoT hub as input in Azure stream analytics. Then it should be filtered based on the deviceId via a query. I use PowerBI as output. In PowerBI I would like to make a line chart showing the temperature of the three devices. Currently, I use a PowerBI output for each device, which creates three datasets in PowerBI and unfortunately it is not possible to combine datasets.
Any suggestions?
For now I use this query
WITH outputSander as(
    SELECT temp,deviceId,System.TIMESTAMP as time
    from Sensordata
    where deviceId = 'Raspberry_Pi_Sander'),
outputKoen as(
    SELECT temp,deviceId,System.TIMESTAMP as time
    from Sensordata
    where deviceId = 'Raspberry_Pi_Koen')
--outputLukas as(
  --  SELECT temp,deviceId,System.TIMESTAMP as time
   -- from Sensordata
   -- where deviceId = 'Raspberry_Pi_Lukas')
    select s1, s2
INTO
    [outputData]
FROM
    outputSander s1 LEFT JOIN outputKoen s2 on(DATEDIFF(s, s1, s2) BETWEEN 0 AND 5)

As output I would like to see something like this:
S1.temp S1.deviceId, S1.time, S2.temp, S2.deviceId, S2.time with their correct values respectively.

A: you can use JOIN clause to join multiple streams into one and direct it to the one output. In your case, there can be an extra field that can be used for a join.

One of Erie County Court's biggest tax cases looks set to end without a trial.
Erie Insurance Group and Erie's three taxing authorities are close to settling an agreement on the assessed value of the Fortune 500 Company's downtown Erie headquarters.
The deal, which is expected to affect tens of thousands of dollars in tax revenue, is done in principle, yet numerous details need to be fixed, Erie Insurance lawyers and taxing authorities said in court.
"We are very close to a resolution of the case," John Mehler, lawyer, Erie Insurance, told Shad Connelly, Senior Erie County Judge, who is handling the 3 ½-year-old case.
Connelly had scheduled a nonjury trial to commence on Monday, and he indefinitely postponed the trial at the lawyers' request.
Lawyers said that they had reached a uncertain agreement on the crucial figure – the assessed value of the properties at issue, composed of four interlocking buildings and two parking ramps that sit on 10.58 acres and encompass 502,304 square feet on Perry Square's east side.
They refused to present the assessed value which was published in the deal, yet they say that the amount will be in the final proposal that must clinch the city, Erie School District and the Erie County government's respective approvals. Connelly must also see the final proposal.
The assessed value in the final deal is projected to be between $13.1 million and $36.5 million, as stated on the GoErie website.
At present, its assessed value is $32.1 million, which the Erie County Assessment Bureau established in 2013, following the countrywide reassessment that ended in 2012. The Erie County Assessment Board refused to configure the value.
In December 2014, Erie Insurance went to court to decimate the amount to $13.1 million, a 59.2% decrease, while taxing authorities countered with the assessed value of $36.5 million, which is a 13.7% increase.
Reducing the assessed value to $13.1 million would drop Erie Insurance's tax bill by $632,000 a year, while increasing it to $36.5 million would increase the tax bill by $150,000.
"We are continuing to work on a resolution," Greg Karle, City Solicitor, said after the hearing, while Bryan Baumann, lawyer for the school district, and Dan Susi, lawyer for the Assessment Board, refused to comment on details. However, they said that the case is nearing a settlement.

Baseline to Baseline recaps: Knicks, Heat win, can start thinking showdown
By Kurt HelinApr 23, 2012, 8:06 AM EDT
What you missed while figuring out why ice cream causes brain freeze…
Lakers 114, Thunder 106 (2OT): There was a game, too, not just an elbow. The Lakers got a win that can give them some confidence for a potential playoff meeting between these teams — but can they replicate this recipe for success? Our own Matt Moore discussed this game.
Knicks 113, Hawks 112: Very tight game, neither team had a double digit lead all game. Carmelo Anthony had 39 and took all the shots down the stretch. Amare Stoudemire was back and looking like his old self — 22 points, 12 rebounds and a key late block on Marvin Williams to save the game (actually, Williams did that himself trying to dunk a ball and not getting it out of his hands before the buzzer sounded).
The win locks the Hawks into a first round battle with the Celtics. Knicks have a 95 percent chance of having the Heat in the first round.
Heat 97, Rockets 88: Houston had a lead in the fourth quarter, but Miami owned the last seven minutes of this game, sparked by LeBron James dropping 11 of his 32 in the fourth quarter. The loss eliminated the already very slim chance the Rockets had of making the playoffs. The Heat can start dreaming of the Knicks, that's not set in stone but it's getting there.
Nuggets 101, Magic 74: Jameer Nelson played only two minutes in this one due to calf bruise he suffered. Because the Magic need another injury. This game was actually close until midway through the third quarter when the subs came in and Denver went on a 10-2 run, then the Nuggets blew the game open in the fourth. JaVale McGee had a good game for Denver with 17 points — if you throw him lobs he can dunk them.
The loss and other games this weekend has locked Orlando into a series against Indiana in the first round.
Spurs 114, Cavaliers 98: No Tim Duncan… but did you really think that would matter? Manu Ginobili dropped 20, DeJuan Blair 15 filling in as the guy setting the picks for Tony Parker. With the win the Spurs need just one more win in their last three games to secure the top seed in the West (or one more Thunder loss).
Clippers 107, Hornets 98: New Orleans took control of this game in the third quarter, them came the Chris Paul and Randy Foye show — CP3 had 13 points in the fourth, Foye 11 (he was knocking down outside shots all night). Chris Paul's playmaking is something to behold, but will it be enough against a good team (like Memphis) in the playoffs?
Pistons 76, Raptors 73: With three seconds left and a final shot, the Raptors ran a simple set they have used a few times this year — Linas Kleiza inbounds the ball, runs off a pick near him, gets the ball back and… there isn't a Piston within 10 feet of him. No switch off the pick, nothing. He has so much time he has a split second to gather himself and in doing so throws off his rhythm and misses. Pistons win. Brandon Knight and Ben Gordon each had 19 for the Pistons.
Kings 114, Bobcats 88: The Bobcats are so bad they are getting blown out be weak teams. DeMarcus Cousins had 29 and 10 for the Kings.
Warriors 93, Timberwolves 88: Golden State snaps its losing streak, thanks to a key three with a minute to go from Brandon Rush and a good game from Charles Jenkins (24 points, nine dimes).

The Mexican village that got itself talking
Home/Articles (Press Coverage), Uncategorised/The Mexican village that got itself talking
The Mexican village of Talea de Castro has long been ignored by Mexico's mobile phone companies as too remote to put on their networks, but as the BBC's Will Grant reports, they have responded by building their own.
Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, the richest man in the world, has a lot of customers.
In Latin America, Carlos Slim's telecommunications giant, America Movil, has around 262 million subscribers, and in Mexico alone handles more than 70% of the country's mobile phone users.
But the residents of the tiny coffee-producing village of Talea de Castro are not among them.
For years, the locals have asked the main networks in Mexico to install a mobile phone antenna in the village.
They kept getting the same answer: it was not worth sending an engineer into the remote mountains of Oaxaca for fewer than 10,000 customers.
The phone companies "were asking things of us that were virtually impossible in a small community like this", remembers Wilfrido Martinez, the secretary of Talea's municipal council.
In particular, they wanted electricity lines and a new road built to the site where the antenna would be erected, involving significant cost and red tape for the local people.
Faced with such intransigence from big business, the 2,500 villagers of Talea decided to do something revolutionary. They launched a mobile phone network of their own.
Phones to the rescue
"We held an assembly which the whole village attended," says Mr Martinez. "The people from the community radio network had information about a telephone system we could install ourselves.
We said: 'Wow, this is what we need!'"
Using technology from a US-based company and expertise from a non-profit organisation called Rhizomatica, the villagers installed an antenna on the roof of a strategically placed private residence to provide maximum coverage to Talea.
The Talea Cellular Network was born.
Calls and texts within the village are free and calls to areas outside are significantly cheaper than they would be using the big telecom companies.
"The charges are really low," remarks Mr Martinez. "I called family members in the United States and for a five-minute call, I only spent around $0.30 (£0.18). That's about ten times cheaper than using a land line."
Others have even managed to boost their income by carrying a phone. "It's more practical," says taxi driver Ruben Marcial.
"Previously we had to just drive around the streets looking for work."
But it is not just in their pockets that people are feeling the benefits.
When newcomers arrive in the village, they automatically receive a message telling them to go to the local radio station to register their phone.
There they will meet Keyla Ramirez, who sums up the advantages in one word: "Communication. From the very start, that was our principle objective as a collective," she explains.
"Sometimes there might be an accident in the fields and, before, people couldn't let anyone know.
"They'd be cut off if the river was high or if they'd been bitten by a snake and couldn't make it back to the village. Now they can call their families and they'll come and help them."
Arriving in Talea in the middle of Mexico's rainy season, it was clear such problems are common. The village was part of the region lashed by Hurricane Manuel last month.
Amid the downpours, the villagers were making improvements to the network. Since its initial launch, calls have been restricted to just five minutes to avoid saturating the system's capacity.
So the locals have installed a more permanent antenna on top of a specially built phone mast to provide more lines and wider coverage.
Tight-knit community
As the neighbours pitched in to help, it was another sign of the strong community spirit driving the project. But some foreign expertise was needed to get the idea off the ground.
"If you look around the world there are some 700 million people without access to cellular telephony," says Peter Bloom of Rhizomatica. "That mainly has to do with them living in remote areas or areas that are difficult to access.
"In the case of Mexico, the large providers don't see the Mexican countryside as being a viable option in terms of economics."
He understands that might make sense for Carlos Slim's corporation, but adds: "We see other options. We use new technology, we try to take advantage of local structures and local capacity in order to provide equipment and services at a much lower cost."
It is a model which is certainly appreciated in the tight-knit community of Talea.
Though Mr Slim can afford to live without the villagers as customers, he may regret his company's refusal to grant them an antenna.
Talea is slowly becoming an example for other remote indigenous villages in Mexico and Central America.
"In Mexico we have a saying: 'don't ask to be breastfed!'" laughs local radio presenter, Keyla Ramirez. "We have the satisfaction of no longer having to ask them: 'Please, come and install a service for which we're going to pay you'."
"This equipment belongs to the whole community. Now we can be autonomous, self-sufficient and self-reliant without having to ask to be breastfed by anyone!"

Q: Opening Tif file with PIL "PIL.UnidentifiedImageError: cannot identify image file" I've a huge TIF file of shape (39906, 30365, 4). I want to use it on PyQt5, however when I use PIL to open the image it gives the error "PIL.UnidentifiedImageError: cannot identify image file".
I've searched and it seems that PIL can open TIF/TIFF files, but it has to be 8bit and my image is 8bit.
What could I do fix it? Is the file to large to be open by PIL? Is there another option to open a huge TIF to be used with PyQt5?
It's not necessary to open the whole image. Actually, if I could open a 25% scaled version of the original would be better.
Pillow version = 7.2.0

A: If you are having issues handling very large images, consider using libvips, either in your Python code or in the Terminal. It is very fast and frugal with memory.
Here's an example for Terminal:
vipsthumbnail BIGBOY.TIF --size 10000x -o small.tif     # reduce width to 10000px

And see usingVIPSandShrink() here.

Q: UPDATE column using COUNT I want the parameter 'HoursPerWeek' to Equal the number of pupils with a specific Teachers ID.
I'm really lost on how to go about this.
CREATE PROC spUpdateTeachingHoursAndWages
AS
update Payments.HoursPerWeek
set HoursPerWeek = (select COUNT(PupilDetails.Teacher_ID)
FROM Assignment.dbo.Payments JOIN Assignment.dbo.PupilDetails
ON Payments.ID = PupilDetails.Teacher_ID

A: If you try to update HourPerWeek and with a specific Teachers ID, you should add a parameter to your stored procedure just to indicate the Teacher_ID.
NOTE: I've used a int value change it according your table schema.
CREATE PROC spUpdateTeachingHoursAndWages (@Teacher_ID int)
AS
    UPDATE Payments
    SET    HoursPerWeek = (SELECT COUNT(PupilDetails.Teacher_ID)
                           FROM   Assignment.dbo.Payments
                           JOIN   Assignment.dbo.PupilDetails
                           ON     Payments.ID = PupilDetails.Teacher_ID
                           WHERE  Payments.ID = @Teacher_id)
    WHERE Payments.ID = @Teacher_ID

A: The answer of @McNets is correct, but there can be modifications:
Better use table aliases and there is no need for sub-query:
CREATE PROC spUpdateTeachingHoursAndWages --(@Teacher_ID int)
AS
UPDATE p
SET HoursPerWeek = COUNT(pd.Teacher_ID)
FROM Assignment.dbo.Payments p
INNER JOIN Assignment.dbo.PupilDetails pd
    ON p.ID = pd.Teacher_ID
--WHERE p.ID = @Teacher_ID
--Uncomment this, if you need to change HoursPerWeek for some special teacher

A: Without using a specific Teacher_ID parameter:
Correlated subquery version:
create proc spUpdateTeachingHoursAndWages as
begin;
set nocount, xact_abort on;
  update p
  set HoursPerWeek = (
      select count(*)
      from Assignment.dbo.PupilDetails pd
      where pd.Teacher_id = p.id
      )
  from Assignment.dbo.Payments p;
end;
go

inner join version:
create proc spUpdateTeachingHoursAndWages as
begin;
set nocount, xact_abort on;
  update p
  set HoursPerWeek = pd.HoursPerWeek
  from Assignment.dbo.Payments p
    inner join (
      select
          pd.id
        , HoursPerWeek = count(*)
      from Assignment.dbo.PupilDetails pd
      group by pd.id
      ) pd
      on p.id = pd.Teacher_id;
end;
go

cross apply() version:
create proc spUpdateTeachingHoursAndWages as
begin;
set nocount, xact_abort on;
  update p
  set HoursPerWeek = pd.HoursPerWeek
  from Assignment.dbo.Payments p
    cross apply(
      select HoursPerWeek = count(*)
      from Assignment.dbo.PupilDetails pd
      where p.id = pd.Teacher_id;
      ) pd
end;
go

Note: Why you should always include set xact_abort, nocount on; - Erland Sommarskog

Campanile in winter, 1947
View this item in its source respository
The Campanile in winter. The long distance photograph shows the top of the tower rising from a group of trees, which together with an overhanging branch close to the camera frame the Campanile as the focus of the shot. The clock shows 10:10.
Throughout the twentieth century the Bells of Iowa State have sounded across the campus. The first bells were placed in the Campanile in 1899. Since then they have become an outstanding tradition of the University as well as a unique symbol remembered pleasantly by alumni and campus visitors. This is exactly as their donor, Edgar W. Stanton, wished. Stanton graduated with the first class at Iowa State in 1872. He spent 50 years on campus as a student and faculty member, becoming the Head of the Department of Mathematics, secretary to the Board of Trustees, dean of the junior college, vice-president, and on four different occasions, acting President. His first wife was Margaret MacDonald Stanton, first dean of women. When she died, July 25, 1895, she had been closely identified with the University for almost twenty-five years. Stanton wanted to establish a monument so all students and friends of Iowa State would remember her. He finally decided to purchase and have installed a chime of 10 bells in a detached tower on central campus. President William M. Beardshear helped him choose the site, and the state legislature appropriated $7, 500 for the construction of the tower and its clock.
According to H. Summerfield Day's The Iowa State University Campus and Its Buildings, 1859-1979 (1980), construction began in 1897 and was completed in 1898. The contractor was J.F. Atkinson and the architect was George E. Hallett. The final cost was $6,510.20 and the Campanile stood 110 feet tall and its main shaft was 16 feet square. Stanton died September 12, 1920, and his will provided that after certain bequests were taken out, the residue of his estate should be turned over to the University for furnishing a memorial to him. His second wife, Julia Wentch Stanton, and the children, decided to request that the University install 26 additional bells, thus forming a musical instrument which became known as the Edgar W. and Margaret MacDonald Stanton Memorial Carillon. In 1954, the trustees of the Stanton Memorial Trust joined with others to create the Stanton Memorial Carillon Foundation to further the advancement of the carillon at Iowa State. One of the first acts of the Foundation was to purchase 13 additional treble bells, along with a new keyboard large enough to accommodate a 53-bell carillon. They were installed in 1956, brining the total number of bells in 49. In 1967, a fiftieth bell was added.

This sounds just like the sort of novel I would like to read. Enjoyed the article very absorbing.
Wonderful, detailed description of how the author honors her work in the right-now-here-real world. This is honest and helpful: a gift. Thanks!
Loved reading about the author made me very interested in reading her novel.


Seventeen-year-old Catherine 'Cat' Morland has led a sheltered existence in rural Dorset, a life entirely bereft of the romance and excitement for which she yearns. So when Cat's wealthy neighbours, the Allens, invite her to Edinburgh Festival, she is sure adventure beckons.
Edinburgh initially offers no such thrills: Susie Allen is obsessed by shopping, Andrew Allen by the Fringe. A Highland Dance class, though, brings Cat a new acquaintance: Henry Tilney, a pale, dark-eyed gentleman whose family home, Northanger Abbey, sounds perfectly thrilling. And an introduction to Bella Thorpe, who shares her passion for supernatural novels, provides Cat with a like-minded friend. But with Bella comes her brother John, an obnoxious banker whose vulgar behaviour seems designed to thwart Cat's growing fondness for Henry.

Follansbee Church comes to rescue of its community after flood
Posted August 26, 2016 in Featured News
Rubbish from the basement of Follansbee Presbyterian Church waits to be picked up following a flood that affected over 150 buildings, including three churches, in this West Virginia community.
Southern West Virginia was rocked by intense rains and severe flooding in late June when several storms lined up like railroad cars along the mountains and dumped as much as a foot of rain in a few hours on towns likes White Sulphur Springs and Alderson. The images were unsettling. Many people from the region pitched in any way they could with manpower and donations all the while thinking they were happy this didn't happen to them.
"That evening (of the flooding on June 23) I thought, 'Yes, I'm glad that didn't happen here," said Pastor Frank Haas, a commissioned ruling elder at Follansbee Presbyterian Church.
Unfortunately for the community of Follansbee, WV, their time was coming. A little over a month later on Saturday, July 30, storms that brought five inches of rain during two brief stints created flooding that affected over 150 homes and businesses. Just as importantly, a building collapsed into the Allegheny Creek, causing water to rise several feet above the creek's banks and flow down the streets and into people's homes. Illegal trash dumping in the creek has also been blamed for the rise in water during the storm.
Among the affected were three church buildings, including Follansbee Church, which had several inches of water in its basement and had to replace drywall and carpeting. The local United Methodist Church didn't fare as well, having water encompass most of its first floor and getting within three feet of the second-floor sanctuary.
"It got in the ceiling tiles in the kitchen and the basement," Frank said. "They're now just four walls and a roof. Everything was condemned."
Follansbee Church served between 2,000 and 3,000 meals to workers helping with the flooding situation in this West Virginia town.
The adjacent Christian Assembly church also had devastating damage that has forced it to find another worship space. Invitations by Follansbee Church were made to both congregations, and the Methodist church has been worshiping with the Presbyterians for the past month. The much-smaller Christian Assembly church is meeting on Sundays across the street from Follansbee Church in a funeral home.
"We served the Lord's Supper and it was different from customs there were used to, but everybody seemed to be feeding off each other and learning and enjoying the camaraderie and the fellowship of worshiping together," Frank said.
Follansbee Church also opened its doors to the emergency management groups that came to the area for flood relief. The church was also the center for volunteers to register before going out into the community, and for 11 days the church served between 2,000 and 3,000 meals and provided a place to wash up and cool down for the workers, who came from an estimated five states.
"We offered (to be the point location), we had a good location for it and we were minimally affected by (the flooding)," Frank explained. "It just evolved. All of the plans we were making were changing hour by hour. God just leads you in the way that the needs are to be able to help. Some people would just drop off food and leave. We didn't even know who they were.
"We had a lot of people and they, of course, needed a lot of food and a lot of drink, and every time we would look like we're about out, somebody would come through the door with a roaster full of food or a couple of crockpots and we'd be able to keep going. We never missed having something there for the people to eat and to drink."
Read about the flood-relief efforts of the Follansbee Church youth group here.
Follansbee Church also helped out a local Italian restaurant. A recently-purchased freezer in the church that hadn't been filled kept pizza sauce and other items cold as the restaurant cleaned up after the flood. Otherwise, the shop owner felt like he would have to close because of the loss created from the flood.
Youth groups at Follansbee Church drew colorful posters as inspiration to the workers who came into their building for food and air conditioning.
Frank didn't realize the extent of the flooding in Follansbee until he arrived for church Sunday morning. Living in nearby Wellsburg, Frank drove through the town that evening, and while the water was high, he felt like it was just another thunderstorm.
"By the time the morning came and it was time to go to church and meet the congregation, there was debris all over the place," Frank recalled. "Mud was everywhere. We were stunned by the damage. We didn't have a traditional worship service. It was more of a period of prayers and planning for what we should do."
The church building was spared in part because it sits on a higher part of town and was about two blocks from the harshest flooding in Follansbee, which, according to Frank, had no warning from the weather bureau that such a storm was coming. The flood waters did recede quickly, but the mud and debris it left behind was devastating.
Because the flooding took place in a confined area, the Federal Emergency Management Agency did not come in to assist with the damage. Additionally, most insurances won't cover damage caused by flooding, leaving many people without financial help. Fortunately, there's a congregation in town that has been more than willing to reach out to its neighbors in this time of need.
"God has given us the facilities to be helpful to people and has also given us the manpower and the community support," Frank said. "The people in the town rallied together, putting to use what was available to put things right. The people kept their spirit about the damage, the loss and the disaster. Rather than having a melancholy, depressed attitude about things, they expressed their determination to bounce back and to put things back to normal. That's something we prayed for and tried to preach."


A look at a player who gave his team a significant boost in Week 6.
Even after he watched King Dunlap allow three sacks Oct. 10 against the 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid defended the player. He thought a full week of practice as the starter at left tackle would give him a much better chance to succeed, and he was right.
Dunlap's our High Energy Player of the Week because he did a tremendous job on Falcons defensive end John Abraham, considering the circumstances. Abraham came into the game with four sacks in five games, but he didn't add to his total against Dunlap. The former Auburn player used excellent technique and put those freakishly long arms to good use.
"I thought big King did a pretty good job," Reid told reporters after Sunday's game. "I thought he bent well. I thought he delivered his hands well. I thought he kept his hands in tight. When he extends those, I don't think there's anybody in the league who can get into his chest. He battled all the way through."
Right tackle Winston Justice, a man who knows about getting thrown into a tough situation, reminded Dunlap to use his hands immediately after the snap. The two of them talked all week, and then Dunlap went out and had an excellent game. He certainly had help from running back LeSean McCoy and the tight ends at times, but he was handling Abraham on his own a lot in the second half.
He had the one penalty for grabbing a player's face mask, but he didn't have all the holding penalties that regular starter Jason Peters is known for. I'd have a tough time pulling Dunlap from the starting lineup, although Peters will eventually get his spot back.

Pfizer-EU COVID Vaccine Deal Messages Mysteriously Disappears
There are significant risks and problems associated with the Pfizer BioNTech vaccines. The latest questionable event surrounding the vaccine is that the Pfizer-EU COVID vaccine deal messages just mysteriously disappeared.
The European Commission acknowledged that communications between Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla have vanished in a letter (read below) sent to its internal watchdog organization, the European Ombudsman, on Wednesday.
The revelation comes in the midst of concerns around a possible multibillion-dollar agreement between Pfizer and the European Union (EU) for COVID vaccinations.
EU Justice Commissioner Vera Jourova said in the letter, "The Commission can confirm that the search undertaken by the President's cabinet for relevant text messages corresponding to the request for access to documents has not yielded any results." Von der Leyen and Bourla exchanged SMS while a deal for COVID vaccinations was being finalized, which was disclosed in May 2021. According to Von der Leyen's account to The New York Times, she and Bourla were discussing the agreement over text messages.
Following a journalist's denial of a freedom of information request for the texts, Emily O'Reilly of the European Ombudsman concluded that the Commission had not made any effort to locate the documents. Later, the Commission claimed that because the documents were "short-lived," it did not think they were subject to EU transparency laws. O'Reilly accused the commission of "maladministration" following the "Deletegate" event and requested that they do another search for the communications.
The letter states that the texts were formerly in von der Leyen's possession but are now lost, and it asserts that "Due to their short-lived and ephemeral nature, text and instant messages in general do not contain important information relating to policies, activities and decisions of the commission." To prevent disclosure issues in the future, the Commission also indicated that it would "issue further guidance on modern communication tools" to avoid transparency problems in future and maintained that its actions were "in line with the applicable legislation and the relevant case law on access to documents."
O'Reilly responded to the letter by saying it was "problematic on several points." According to The Guardian, O'Reilly declined to speak further while a report on the investigation was being drafted and is expected to be published in July.
Several EU member states had supported the agreement between the EU and Pfizer. However, a number of member nations questioned the agreement due to falling vaccination rates and concerns that the doses would go to waste.
There are significant risks and problems associated with the Pfizer BioNTech vaccines. According to studies, male fertility considerably declines in the months following the Pfizer vaccine, and teenage boys are far more likely to experience heart inflammation. The World Health Organization recommended against routinely immunizing kids with the Pfizer vaccine for COVID-19 in January.
Additionally, Pfizer has asserted that because of government contracts, it is free from transparency requirements for vaccination trials. Last year, the COVID vaccination generated an estimated $37 billion for the corporation.
Despite objections, the EU voted to continue its COVID passport program on Monday.
