Mosquitoes have a relatively short lifespan, of which the female mosquito mainly spends her time trying to bite someone. Her adult life will take just a few weeks, but she'll live longer than the males. But let's say a mosquito starts biting someone, will it die immediately? How long does a mosquito live after a bite? They would surely need some time to produce and lay their eggs in standing water. Let's find out what happens to mosquitoes after they successfully bite you.
Those blood-sucking pests seem to bite as many people as they wish at just about any moment you can imagine. They can be real pests, especially if they bite you under your arms or behind your knees. These insects should be easy to control, but sometimes they just seem to swoop and attack as if they really want a piece of that juicy blood. And it won't stop with just a single bite either. So what does happen after you get bitten? Let's find out.
Do Mosquitoes Die After They Bite Someone?
Mosquitoes will not immediately die after they bite someone: They can live up to 3 weeks after their first bite victim. The process of biting someone will not kill a female mosquito: She will bite as many victims as needed to lay her eggs. If they do not consume blood and find water afterward, they are not able to lay eggs.
The mosquito lifecycle determines the survival of the adult female after the biting process. Because the steps after the blood gathering are so crucial, she cannot die in the days after the bites. Dying after bites would make the act of biting humans (or other species) in the first place a useless endeavor.
In case you're interested in how this whole lifecycle process works, this article I wrote will explain it in much more detail. Mosquitoes spend most of their time in the water, and the time in which they need to bite others is actually relatively short-lived. So in a sense, you could say mosquitoes will die relatively quickly after biting someone, although the two don't have much to do with each other.
Can The Same Mosquito Bite More Than Once?
Female mosquitoes will bite as much as needed to produce their eggs. So yes, mosquitoes can and usually will bite more than once. The same mosquito can keep biting you until its abdomen is filled with blood, the number of bites depends on whether or not the mosquito is interrupted during the biting process.
If you tend to toss and turn at night the mosquito may not have got its fill when the first time it bit you. This means that the pesky little creature had to bite you in multiple places before it was satisfied. So if you've woken up and discovered a lot of mosquito bites on your skin, the reason behind it could be because of how you slept. Alternatively, there can be more than one specimen in your room that wants a taste of your blood.
But where do they stop? That's all regulated in the brain. A part of the mosquito's brain tells them when they've had enough blood, otherwise, they would probably keep draining their victims of blood until they're full. It's what they need for their offspring: Your blood contains substances that are required to produce eggs. Once the mosquito has consumed enough blood it will rest for up to three days before it lays eggs. Once she has laid her eggs the mosquito will go back to biting people again. This cycle carries on until the mosquito dies naturally (or you manage to kill it using an insect trap like this).
One of the reasons why there are so many mosquitos around is that a female can lay as many as 300 eggs at any one time. This potentially means that during a single week the buzzing creature could lay up to 600 eggs. 600 eggs a week is 2,400 a month. If the mosquito lives as long as two months it may lay up to 4,800 eggs. It's unlikely that there will ever be a shortage of mosquitos, unfortunately. If just one female lays 600 eggs a week and only 10% survive, 60 mosquitos will still be around to lay 300 eggs at any given time. Yikes.
Can You Die From Mosquito Bites?
Most of these deadly viruses can be found when you're on holiday in another country, especially in continents like South America and Africa. If you're traveling to a place where mosquitoes could kill you, you will need to take some preventative measures. While some mosquitos are harmless there are others that carry a deadly disease.
If you have been bitten by a mosquito in the last three days and you don't feel well, speak to a doctor as soon as you can (just in case). You may not have caught malaria or another deadly disease, but it's always worth getting your symptoms checked out to make sure your situation won't worsen.
Use an insect net: Mosquito nets are a relatively cheap but simple solution to the biting problem. Use mosquito nets or insect screens on your doors and windows so the little bloodsuckers stay away.
Indoor mosquitoes can live for quite a long time: Their indoor lifespan ranges anywhere from four days to a month. After female mosquitoes are done biting, they will live up to three weeks in your home. Most species won't last that long, but it can still seem like a long time period when living with them.
If you're interested to learn more about this topic, I've previously written a full article on indoor mosquito lifespan. The article can be found right here. Certainly worth a read if you'd like to learn how to get rid of them indoors!
How Do I Kill A Mosquito In My Room?
Get a canopy for your bed: Sleep comfortably and insect-free with a mosquito net canopy around your bed.
There are other methods for killing a mosquito, including quite an unusual one. Let's imagine you can hear a mosquito buzzing around your room. What you need to do turn all the lights off and lay on top of the bed or sofa. Take a tablet and place in on your chest, screen-side up. Press the screen which should light up and attract the mosquito, then take a deep breath in and out again. The theory is that the carbon dioxide you breathe out will attract the mosquito. Once the pesky bug is in your sight, swat it hard!
If you want to get rid of mosquitoes and learn even more about how to prevent being bitten, make sure to take a look at the overview page for the best anti-mosquito products. While mosquitoes may seem to swarm around you wherever you go it is possible to give yourself a fighting chance. They always say "Prevention is better than cure" so make sure you wear light colored clothing when you're out and about, and try to stay covered up. Pick up some insect repellent at your local store and deal with the pesky mosquitos before they feast on you.
Mosquitoes will always be around, but they don't have to make your life a misery, so learn how to control them in your home and outside too. My blog provides you with all the resources you'll need to learn and understand to control these pests. I highly recommend you to take a look around for more cool information!

Q: Are VoIP Apps Restarted on Device Boot if the User Force Closed them Before Rebooting? I found this line in the iOS App Programming Guide:

Including the voip value in the UIBackgroundModes key lets the system
  know that it should allow the app to run in the background as needed
  to manage its network sockets. An app with this key is also relaunched
  in the background immediately after system boot to ensure that the
  VoIP services are always available.

And I find this statement to be true in general.  However, if the user force closed the application before rebooting their device, my experience has been that the app is not automatically relaunched on device boot.  Can I get some clarification on the expected behavior in this particular case?

A: All credit goes to "The Eskimo" on this one...

It's generally true that apps that the user 'quits' using the
  multitasking UI are not automatically launched again.  The system
  takes that as a hint from the user that it should not relaunch the
  app.  If the user wants the app to be automatically launched in
  future, they must manually launch it at least once.
For VoIP apps this has been the case since VoIP support was introduced.  For other
  types of automatically launched apps the implementation of this
  heuristic has been less consistent, although I believe that with iOS 7
  it's now applied across the board.

Fault is one of the most critical elements in any car accident. In the event of a car accident, the negligent party who caused the accident must typically pay for the damages of the other party. There are numerous factors relevant to a determination of fault and investigations should immediately ensue to uncover evidence that points to the fault of one or both parties. Even with thorough investigations, fault is not always easy to determine, especially when there may be shared fault for the collision.
The Chicago car accident attorneys at Stein & Shulman, LLC have assisted clients injured in even the most complicated of car accidents. Our firm has over 45 years of combined legal experience which we will bring to your car accident case. We help our injured clients to obtain the compensation they need to cover their medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
Illinois has adopted a doctrine of modified comparative negligence. Under Illinois law, an injured accident victim may recover damages if he or she is less than 50 percent at fault for the crash. However, recovered damages may be reduced by the proportion of fault of each party.
The police report: The police report will be the first official report as to what caused the accident. You should notify police immediately of the crash so they will generate an accurate report.
Witness statements: Witnesses may provide crucial testimony that can help to determine the issue of fault for the accident.
Photographic and video evidence: Photos or videos of the crash and the accident scene can help demonstrate fault in a car accident.
Expert testimony: A scientific expert may be able to testify as to the cause of the accident after a thorough review of all evidence.
Contact a car accident attorney as soon as possible after the crash to protect your legal rights. Your attorney will advocate on your behalf on the issue of fault and damages.
If you have been injured in a car accident, contact the Chicago Car Accident Attorneys at Stein & Shulman, LLC.

Senator PAYNE (12:31 PM) —I wish to resume discussion on the National Rental Affordability Scheme Bill 2008 and the National Rental Affordability Scheme (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2008, which were being discussed in the last sitting week. The debate was interrupted by question time, when we had, again, a larger presence than usual in the chamber, which was gratifying for those interested in the National Rental Affordability Scheme. I indicated at the time the details of the primary bill and the secondary bill.
Can I go on to say that, of the more than $600 million which has been allocated over four years for the scheme in this year's budget, almost $500 million has been allocated to fund the tax offset. The balance has been allocated for direct financial grants and for administrative costs, and the majority of the funds allocated for the scheme have been earmarked for the final year of the scheme. That is four years away and, as I stated in my earlier remarks, over that period it seems, according to reports and assessments, that the accumulated undersupply could be as high as 200,000 housing units nationwide, which is a very significant gap.
This scheme is part of a number of measures being introduced by the government in a promoted effort to address the deterioration which Australia has been experiencing in housing affordability. The others, some of which have already been discussed in the chamber, include the first home saver accounts and the Housing Affordability Fund.
As the coalition has already made quite clear, we will not be opposing the bill. However, as I have also remarked, we do have a number of concerns—particularly in relation to certain aspects of the bill's design—which I would like to put on the record briefly. The most significant of those is the likelihood that the scheme will fail to meet the government's targets. Even if it does meet those targets, it still can only make up a very small proportion of the projected undersupply of housing. We had the opportunity to discuss those targets with the department in the estimates process, including how they were brought together in the promotion of the scheme—and we learnt at that stage that, as sophisticated as the government may now claim it to have been, it was merely a part of opposition policy at the time—and that they are not in fact modelled targets; they are not based on any research which the department was able to supply the committee with in that discussion.
We are also concerned at a potential flaw that might have the capacity to undermine the success of the scheme, and that is its fairly rigidly structured parameters, which we are concerned in a free market may have the impact of reducing the scheme's appeal for the kind of investors that the government is hoping to attract to this new institutional investment asset class. As it happens, there is actually quite a low amount of institutional investment in residential stock in Australia, relatively speaking. That is for a number of reasons, which might include a lack of scalability, higher transaction costs and unwieldy asset management arrangements.
Another barrier to institutional investment in the NRAS, which we have identified through the work of the shadow minister, Mr Morrison, is a lack of compelling evidence that the scheme will produce a competitive rate of return. With all the best will in the world, investors and those people intending, not unreasonably, to make money out of their business will not participate if they are not going to find a reasonable and competitive rate of return. We have seen reports that under this scheme the passing yield could be as relatively low as 4.5 per cent. The residential property council has said that, in order to be competitive, a new asset class of this type would need to return a passing yield of a minimum of five per cent and total returns of closer to nine per cent, with some estimates going as high as 15 per cent.
There is another aspect of the design of this scheme which is probably quite constraining, and that is the value of the incentive being fixed at $6,000 per annum. The value of the incentive will be far greater for areas in which there is relatively low demand for housing than for areas in which there is relatively high demand—for example, the inner-city areas of the three large cities of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. As we and the shadow minister have said, the value of the scheme's incentives might be more beneficially tied to the value of the project and the projected rents, with a sliding scale offered for the incentive. The Australian Housing Industry Association made that suggestion, which we have reported with interest. That may assist in making projects more viable.
Another potential design issue we see is that the tax offsets are to be limited to those parties who will draw, as I understand it, a rental income from the investment, which might reduce the flexibility with which a potential investment itself might be managed. Of course, we will still see state and territory governments reaping significant revenue in stamp duty and GST. We believe they should at least match the Commonwealth's contribution to the scheme to increase its viability.
So we do have a scheme in front of us but it does have tight parameters, and the risks to a potential investor are not insignificant. For example, consider dwelling vacancies, completion delays and turnover created by tenants moving in and out of the income band. The finer points of the management of those aspects may potentially lead to the withdrawal or suspension of the incentives. They are all factors that one would consider as an investor when comparing the scheme to other investment opportunities. So, as the incentives currently stand, it is certainly possible that the only projects which will be commercially viable will end up being those on the fringe of our cities or in smaller metropolitan and regional areas.
On the point relating to the fringes of our cities, I refer again to the report of the Senate Select Committee on Housing Affordability in Australia—and I see Senator Moore nodding with interest—because this was a subject that we considered at some length. Really, it becomes a rather self-defeating process to merely add housing to the fringes of those cities and not match that at the same time with the sorts of infrastructure and support that communities need to be viable and, most importantly, to have employment in situ.
I do note with interest that, in the initial rounds of the scheme, the requirement for a minimum of 100 lots has been relaxed. We have said that, in order to encourage the supply of housing in those areas of greatest demand, that requirement may require permanent relaxation, or the government may be risking potentially worthy projects.
We have also had a look at the eligibility criteria for tenants, and there seems to be a degree of rigidity in those parameters as well, particularly with regard to what are known colloquially as 'key workers'. So we have a scheme from the government which is one of a number of measures to increase homeownership and housing affordability but, because those criteria for tenant eligibility in this regard are quite restrictive, we are concerned that a significant number of potential tenants in need of affordable housing may be locked out. So investors, for example, will want to be very sure that potential tenants have a reliable source of income. Potential tenants who are in need of affordable housing might be those who are saving a deposit to buy their first home or those who unexpectedly find themselves in need of housing in the private rental market. And if the scheme's objective is to reduce rental stress in the private market then perhaps, for breadth of application, greater numbers of potential tenants, all potential tenants who are currently struggling in the private market, should be included in the scheme.
This is another point that the Residential Development Council highlights in a submission which refers to 'key workers'. That would include teachers, childcare workers, nurses, police, firefighters and ambulance officers—all those emergency services personnel—who it seems would almost all, under the criteria as we read them, find themselves in a position of being ineligible for tenancy under the scheme. Key workers on award rates are often stationed in areas where housing costs are especially high. It is not really clear to us or to me how they are going to be able to compete in the local housing market and then compete on the other hand for eligibility in the NRAS. We think it would be inequitable for them to be excluded from the scheme, particularly if the affordable housing is located some distance from their employment. As we see it, the tenant eligibility criteria may be so prescriptive that perhaps the only tenants who will qualify are in fact current public housing tenants, and I am not sure that that is the best way to address the problems that the government is trying to solve.
We also had some concerns—which are ongoing and I know are shared by Senator Ludlam—in relation to the charitable status of not-for-profit organisations that may seek to participate in the scheme. Just before the bill was introduced into the Senate there was a consequential amendments bill produced by the government seeking to address that, and there was a media release by the Treasurer. It will be interesting to see where that takes us.
I also want to acknowledge the work of the Standing Committee on Community Affairs and the report that the committee has brought down under the chairmanship of Senator Moore, and note the valuable contribution of opposition senators in that report. It has certainly given us some interesting material to consider. I also move the amendment standing in my name on the Notice Paper:
At the end of the motion, add:
but the Senate calls on the Government to make such amendments to the National Rental Affordability Scheme as would:
(a) provide for incentives to be given on a sliding scale to take account of the different development and land costs in different locations;
(b) provide for successful applicants to transfer their tax offsets on a once-only basis to project financiers in return for a lower cost of funds, including providing such tax offsets to not for profit entities for this purpose;
(c) require that State and Territory Governments match the incentives provided by the Commonwealth under the Scheme;
(d) extend project eligibility criteria to include conversions to affordable housing from existing residential stock, particularly where such projects involve substantial redevelopment to provide for specific needs groups such as aged or disabled accommodation;
(e) extend the upper level income limits for tenant income eligibility criteria by 30% in each band to ensure greater access for key workers and those seeking to save to buy their first homes;

Young and dynamic, Doyinsola Ogunye is the founder and president of Mental and Environmental Development Initiative for children (MEDIC) a non-governmental organization which focuses on Physical, Mental and Environmental well-being of children established in 2011. Prequel to MEDIC, she started out with the Kids Clean Club in 2009 before it metamorphosed. Having studied law at the University of Lagos and called to the Nigerian bar in 2012, Doyinsola's dream of protecting the environment took the centre stage. She speaks with IJEOMA OPARA about her adventures with teaching young children to be environmental friendly.
I started when I was in my second year in the university. I wanted to do something to protect the environment while I was in school. So instead of focusing on adults I focused on children. The reason my focus is on children, is because I believe they are the future and they can also be part of something great. Over the years, we have created Kids Clean club (KCC), Tyre Playground and Kids Beach Garden where children have been actively involved. I started the Kids Clean Club in the year 2009 when I moved from one part of Lagos to another part where I wasn't used to, where I saw the type of lifestyle the children were living and I wasn't happy about it so I started with environmental games at first then gradually proceeded into founding the Kids Clean Club. I saw a need for a safe place for children to play and also learn with environmentally friendly materials. I started Kids Clean Club with the aim to teach children to be physically mentally and environmentally clean across Nigeria for the love of Nigeria and for a better future. The vision later grew to become the registered Mental and Environmental Development Initiative for Children teaching children across the state the importance of recycling, Tree Planting and the impact of climate change on the environment.
We have always organised and participated in the State environmental sanitation exercises and rallies. In July 2009, I single-handedly joined the then Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola on a tree planting exercise, spearheaded the creation Nigeria's first ever Kids' Garden (an haven for kids to come together and learn while they have fun), the first ever recycling awareness day which occurred in August 20 and October 1, 2011 in Lekki and VGC respectively in collaboration with LAWMA.
I believe that young children are the future of this country and they are going to be the pillars of our society so it is very important to teach them the ways to make our environment better.
It is not looking good at the moment due to the constant depletion of the ecosystem, but as we all know it's never too late to try, so we can do our little bit by planting a tree. It is time we begin to sensitize ourselves and ensure that we use less nylon bags and more of paper or recycle bags; this will better protect our environment. Even the sea animals too, if we constantly have nylon bags thrown into our water ways, our fishes will not have anything to survive on. When we use more of paper bags we are protecting our eco system.
Nigeria is known to have the highest number of felling trees, which is not good for us. The oxygen we breathe is gotten from plants among other environmental repairs which protect the ecosystem. If we don't have these trees to provide these natural resources for us, then we have to go back to where we started from. And so the Kids Clean Club have a goal of planting 50,000 trees under our '50k trees campaign' with the aim to give new life to the environment, we started in May 2014 and we have planted hundreds of trees. This year we are commencing on earth day which is on the 22nd of April where 500 children would plant 500 coconut trees on the Kids Beach Garden, we are in partnership with some schools. In order to achieve this goal, Mr. Desmond Majekodunmi, an environmental activist and owner of Lufasi Park, will work hand in hand to sustain it as long as we can. Even the bible says in Genesis 2:15 'God gave us the earth to keep'. The Kids Beach Garden is the first sustainable beach in Africa, where children learn about coastal life. This is to bridge the gap of no coastal/shoreline education particularly where there are a lot of oceans and waterfronts. The beaches and coastal areas are ours to clean and enjoy. We are currently cleaning, recycling and planting so let's have fun while doing so!
We don't really have financial support and it's really expensive to constantly clean and manage the beach and also there are limited resources with which we can reach our goals. For example, we wouldn't mind if someone can donate 1000 coconut trees to our cause. We do not really have the government support we need to actualize our vision.


Even though this particular data point is a few days old now, I think it's highly relevant in light of Apple's glowing App Store stats revealed yesterday.
According to developer Ustwo Games, its award-winning and incredibly successful Monument Valley, an atmospheric puzzle game in which you manipulate impossible architecture inspired by the works of M.C. Escher, has seen a significant chunk of its potential revenue lost to piracy because only 40 percent of the $3.99 game installs on the iPhone and iPad were paid for.
The vast chunk of the remaining sixty percent iOS installs were illegitimate, or to put it bluntly — pirated. On Android, the paid install base is a paltry five percent (you read that right), as a huge hunk of the remaining 95 percent of users opted to steal Monument Vally on Android rather than pay four bucks to enjoy it.
Is the 60 percent piracy rate on iOS a worrying number for Monument Valley developers and a bad sign for Apple's mobile platform? Read on for the full reveal.
The numbers came via a tweet Ustwo posted Monday.
An important caveat: installs ≠ purchases.
"The only thing we can do is, two bits of data: one, how many purchases we have and, two, how many installs we've got," said Ustwo.
In other words, 60 percent of unpaid iOS installs is comprised of a large portion of pirated installs and a smaller portion of people who have both an iPhone and an iPad, and have installed the game to both devices.
Having debuted in April of last year, Monument Valley has yet to go free in the App Store. Therefore, it's safe to assume that a huge portion of the 60 percent installs on iOS are in fact illegitimate.
It's been established before that Android suffers from a massive piracy problem, owed to Google's decision not to police its Play Store and the fact that Android users are allowed to install apps from unofficial third-party sources or manually.
"Android statistics don't include Amazon Store data by the way. So 95 percent piracy rate isn't affected by the free day we did," Ustwo wrote in another tweet.
Some 315,000 Android users obtained the game during the free day, which "rounds out to 5.3 percent taking out those users," reads another tweet.
Despite rampant piracy, Ustwo have made a conscious decision not to implement any piracy protection on Android, explaining to Re/code that they're not unique in this situation.
"The best way I like to think about it is, the majority of those users probably wouldn't have bought the game anyway. So it's not like we're losing revenue," said Monument Valley producer Dan Gray.
"And, of course, I'm sure some of those users have recommended the game to friends who maybe aren't as tech-savvy as they are. It's essentially free marketing," he said trying to play down the issue.
Developers suspect that such a big difference between Android and iOS comes down to how tech-savvy the user and the region actually is.
"When you compare the most affluent regions, obviously that kind of slants it toward developing markets and Android devices, where people are less inclined to spend $4 on a game," he contended, alluding to markets such as China where Android devices don't ship preloaded with Google's Play store so people are accustomed to obtaining software from third-party stores, many of which pirate apps.
Be that as it may, no one should gloat too much about Android's piracy problem.
Matter of fact, the 60 percent piracy rate on iOS for one of the best mobile games of 2014 is simply too high a figure — even more so knowing piracy requires users to jailbreak their devices, an undertaking the vast majority of mainstream iPhone and iPad owners avoid doing.
The piracy gap between iOS and Android is one of the many reasons why the App Store has remained the mobile platform of choice for most app makers, despite Google's platform having more than twice as large footprint as iOS.
Apple yesterday said the App Store made a record $500 million on New Year's Day, marking the single biggest day ever in its nearly seven-year history.
Apps and games generated over $10 billion in revenue for developers throughout 2014 as billings on the App Store rose 50 percent in 2014. Furthermore, developers have earned a cumulative $25 billion from App Store sales.
Ustwo was highlighted in Apple's press release alongside a few other independent games developers as success stories from the year 2014.
The backlash that ensued after a paid $1.99 'Forgotten Shores' update, which has introduced eight new levels to Monument Valley on top of the original ten levels, shows how easy it is to make excuse for piracy.
Just because a premium game you want isn't available at a price you wish to pay doesn't mean you should become a freeloader. And stealing, as Steve Jobs quipped while announcing a legitimate way to buy music on iTunes, is bad for your karma.
As Megan McArdle keenly observed in her DailyBeast piece, people are not forced into piracy, they're choosing it.
"You are not entitled to shoplift Birkin bags on the grounds that they are ludicrously overpriced, and you cannot say you had no alternative but to break into a local ice cream parlor at 2 am because you are really craving some Rocky Road and the insensitive bastards refused to stay open 24/7 so that you could have your favorite sweet treat whenever you want," she put brilliantly.
iDownloadBlog does not, nor ever will, condone piracy.
And on a more personal note, even though folks who pirate iOS games are aware they're in the wrong, they still choose to do it not thinking their actions will damage developers, and developers are essential to the App Store and Apple's mobile platform.
What's your position on this sensitive matter? What should Apple and its developers do in order to fight piracy on iOS more efficiently and vigilantly than before, do you think?
And what can honest users who value the incredible software the App Store offers collectively do in order to help surmount the app theft challenge?

Deuteronomy 32: 21 They made me jealous by what is no god and angered me with their worthless idols. I will make them envious by those who are not a people; I will make them angry by a nation that has no understanding.
Isaiah 28:11 Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues God will speak to this people, 12 to whom he said, "This is the resting place, let the weary rest"; and, "This is the place of repose" but they would not listen. 13 So then, the word of the Lord to them will become: Do this, do that, a rule for this, a rule for that; a little here, a little there— so that as they go they will fall backward; they will be injured and snared and captured.
• Psalms 14:7 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!When the Lord restores his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
• Psalms 132:13-14 For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling, saying,14 "This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it.
Paul confirms this in Romans 10:19 Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says, "I will make you envious by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding." 20 And Isaiah boldly says, "I was found by those who did not seek me; I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me." 21 But concerning Israel he says, "All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.
• Isaiah 45:4 For the sake of Jacob my servant, of Israel my chosen, I summon you by name and bestow on you a title of honor, though you do not acknowledge me. 5 I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me, 6 so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting people may know there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is no other.


The Texans secondary suffered its third major injury on Sunday, losing Kayvon Webster early against the Dallas Cowboys. Webster, in his first game after a season-ending Achilles injury last year with the Los Angeles Rams, made the first stop of the game but left early in the first quarter with a quadriceps injury. He did not return.
The Texans place Kevin Johnson on injured reserve after back-to-back concussions in the preseason and in Week 1 at New England. Aaron Colvin suffered an ankle injury at Indianapolis in Week 4 and could also miss the remainder of the season.
Kareem Jackson switched to the safety position this year and has filled the gap at cornerback nicely. However, O'Brien has not decided if the nine-year veteran will return to his old position with all the recent injuries.
The Texans currently have cornerback Johnson Bademosi, who mostly contributes on special teams, on the active roster and rookie Andre Chachere on the practice squad, but they could be looking to add depth to the secondary soon.
The (2-3) Texans will host the (2-3) Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Kickoff is set for 12 noon CT on CBS and SportsRadio 610.


Our boxes are reused on average four times, are made from 95% recycled materials and are recycled at the end of their lives but, surprisingly, still account for 10% of our carbon footprint (similar to the lorries delivering the boxes). In the long run we may move to plastic boxes as a more durable and lower impact solution. Preliminary calculations suggest this would give a 70% reduction in CO2 emissions, but it would be a huge capital investment and many of you have expressed a strong resistance to plastic in the past. I sense a rise in pragmatism over dogmatism in environmental issues generally and wonder how you would feel about your veg being delivered in a deposit-carrying plastic crate; email your thoughts to plasticvegbox@riverford.co.uk.
In the meantime we really need as many boxes back as possible, even if they are damaged (there is a much better chance of them being effectively recycled through us than through most municipal recycling schemes). The boxes cost between 54p and 81p but just as importantly this is the biggest thing you can do to reduce the environmental impact of your veg delivery. Please fold your box flat by pushing the ends in so the bottom goes down (not up into the box) and leave it out for your vegman or lady to collect. We are also happy to take back plastic bags but would rather you added paper punnets to your compostable or paper waste.

Today we're going to do a special tarot spread all about giving and receiving, things we do in abundance at this time of year. Our hop wrangler, Arwen Lynch, describes the spread like this: "Yule, Hanukah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Solstice, Winter. Whatever you call this time of year, it is a season of gift giving, gift receiving and sharing with family and friends for a majority of the world. Whether Papa Noel brings you a candy cane or the Winter Witch brings you switches, it's a time of anticipation. The anticipation of what I might be getting and what I am giving are equal joys for me." Arwen has designed a unique tarot spread that will help us reflect on and explore our personal journey during this season of giving and receiving.
Here is the tarot spread!
A gift I would like to give the world: The Moon Wow! I would love to give the world The Moon! I mean, in the metaphorical sense of the phrase that I would love to be able to give the world EVERYTHING: the moon, the stars, anything wonderful and magical that exists. In a more traditional tarot card meaning sense, The Moon stands for the unconscious, the mysterious, the chaotic, and anxieties and fears of the unknown. Therefore, I would like to be able to give the world peace of mind, relief from anxiety, diminishing fear of the unknown. I would love it if people could be comfortable in uncertainty, learn to navigate their darker waters and deal with their shadow issues. It seems like a lot of people in the world are living in fear, overthrown by their emotions, and unable to use wisdom and intuition to help themselves or others. I wish a release from fear for the whole world!
A gift I want from the world?: Empress reversed The reversal here says to me that this isn't something that I am currently getting from the world. I could take this in a literal sense and say that the world is not particularly abundant or fertile right now because it is winter where I live. I would love a nice ripe tomato, but that isn't going to happen! The Empress also represents the feminine, and I would love it if the world was a more balanced place for both men and women. Women do not have the same opportunities or experiences out in the world, and I would very much like this to be different. The whole archetype of the feminine is repressed almost everywhere in the world, creating an imbalanced, unharmonious world. Who does this situation benefit? Why do we allow it to continue? How do we bring greater balance into the world?
A gift that has given me joy: The Queen of Pentacles The Queen of Pentacles is the feminine archetype of The Empress brought into physical form. She is the person in your life who has given you boundless security, comfort, and love. My own mother was such a woman, loving me unconditionally, encouraging me to reach for my dreams, and also there to lend me a hand or a chocolate chip cookie whenever I was in need. Having her as a role model, helps me recognize and value these traits in other people. I'm constantly meeting people who open their hearts and homes to me because of my life on the road and I appreciate these gifts I'm given. People like the Queen of Pentacles show me that the world is a magical and wonderful place, something which I can often forget when I see it only as mundane and ordinary. This Queen helps me see the magic of it all.
A gift I've given that has brought me joy: King of Wands The King of Wands is a visionary, an entrepreneur, a bold leader out in the world. Is this a gift I've given the world? That would be nice! I surely try to accomplish this with my business, The Willow Path Tarot. This was the year that I became an entrepreneur, starting this tarot business, envisioning what it can and will be and bringing it out into the world. I hope that I have influenced and inspired other people through my work. I hope other aspiring tarot readers are motivated to follow along on this own career paths. I hope the readings that I have done for my clients have inspired them to live creativity, passionately, and with a fire in their hearts to succeed. I hope I am a responsible guardian of that inspiration and creativity.
One last thing to share about the season: IV of Cups The IV of Cups reminds us of two important lessons for the holidays and the close of the year. 1. This is a wonderful time to reflect and look back on all that we have gone through over the course of 2014. Spending time meditating, journaling, looking through old notebooks or photographs and getting a handle on what happened last year is a wonderful way to appreciate your accomplishments and memorialize your year. 2.

Mykhailo Tomashevsky keeps his beehives in the highlands of the Ukrainian Carpathians. Once a bear came to the apiary and started to damage hives and bees, and the loss was huge.
However, the owner is not angry with the animal and does not want to harm it. He chose a peaceful way and installed an electric fence to protect the apiary. Sometimes the bear visits the apiary but no longer dares to break Mykhailo's property.

revenge for broken hives
On average, up to 10 bear attacks on apiaries occur in the Carpathians per year. Some beekeepers estimate their losses in thousands of euros because, together with the hives, they lose bees and their honey harvest. But not all of them can "forgive" the bear for the damage. After all, for someone beekeeping is almost the only source of income. Beekeepers and shepherds in the Carpathians sometimes dare to kill the bear as a pest. Such revenge killing is the second reason after poaching, which has reduced the number of bears in the region.
This can be stopped if the owners start using preventive protection tools - electric fences, which is common practice in Europe. The current that passes through a fence does not harm the animals, but effectively scares them away and prevents carnivores from attacking the property or livestock. Bears have to return to the forest and look for food there.
However, the cost of such tools is high and is unaffordable for many farmers who need them. That is why WWF Ukraine provides fences for free use within the LIFE EuroLargeCarnivores project. Owners who have encountered a bear attack on their apiaries or livestock, or noticed its presence nearby can get an electric fence to use. An agreement is concluded with the owner, which also prohibits the use of the fence for purposes other than improving coexistence. Beekeepers also receive instructions on how to properly install the tool.
"Over the past 5 years, WWF-Ukraine has provided Carpathian beekeepers with 10 sets of electric fences to protect their apiaries from bears. Three of them - during the last year,
- Bohdan Vykhor, Wildlife manager at WWF Ukraine.
- But the damage from the bear's attack on the apiary must be compensated by the state. This mechanism is extremely necessary for owners who have lost property that can cost thousands of euros. Beekeeping may be for them almost the only source of income in the mountains. It is also necessary to preserve the bear, which is included in the Red Data Book of Ukraine and treated as on the edge of extinction species for Ukraine".
A beekeeper who found a compromise
A striking example of peaceful coexistence with a bear in one area is the story of Mykhailo Tomashevsky. For 15 years he has been setting up his apiary high in the mountains in the Nikovata tract near the Mykulychyn village. His apiary is surrounded by forests and meadows, where wild grasses and berries grow, which make his honey special.
But bears also live in this wilderness. Beekeeper Mykhailo met the carnivore in the wild several times, but all these meetings took place at a distance. However, two years ago the animal came to his apiary, broke the hives, and caused damage to about 35 thousand hryvnias (about 1,100 euros). And 15 thousand hryvnias (about 500 euros) of these, is the cost of bees. For Mikhailo, as for most other local beekeepers, this is quite a lot of money.
The beekeeper tried different ways to protect the hives from the bear - bright lamps and other scary objects that he installed in his apiary. But it didn't help. The bear kept coming and doing damage. He found the solution after attending a conference organized by WWF Ukraine in Yaremche. There he learned about prevention measures such as the electric fence and how it can be used.
The beekeeper took the opportunity to get an electric fence and installed it in his apiary. He later noticed that the animal was still trying to reach the hives. But, apparently, received an unpleasant electric shock, and escaped into the woods. Sometimes the bear continues to appear near his apiary, but no longer dares to get honey. After all, hives are well protected now and the animal remembers this unpleasant experience.

Previous research and practice show that the use of electric fences significantly limits the access of bears to apiaries, waste dumps, and anthropogenic food (Strorer et al. 1938, Davies and Rockwell 1986, Latour and Hagen 1993, Huygens and Hayashi 1999, Clarc et al. 2005). The effectiveness of electric fences was rated at 70-100% by these authors. For beekeepers, they are a possibility to protect their bees and honey. The electric shepherds used here were equipped with special solar panels which significantly prolonged the operation of their batteries, which was absolutely crucial. Additionally, the fence should not touch the grass or branches of trees and shrubs (grounding).

the bear must be preserved
Mykhailo Tomashevsky did not look for a way to kill the bear, because he believes that this species should be preserved for the sake of the integrity of the Carpathian ecosystem. His village Mykulychyn is quite a popular place among tourists. The beekeeper feels happy when people who come here admire the wildlife and the beauty of the surrounding mountains. And tourists admire the fact that the surrounding forests are inhabited by wild animals - bears, lynx, and wolves.
"A lot of tourists come here, and also from different countries, and see traces of a bear. They are proud that the Carpathians, their integrity, and virgin forests where the bear can live are still preserved. The bear must be in our mountains and it must be preserved. He is the king of animals and let him rule until the end of his term, as long as civilization and the world exist"
says Mykhailo Tomashevsky.

California Supreme Court OKs consumer lawsuits contesting 'organic' labels on foods
Sudhin Thanawala CP Business
SAN FRANCISCO — Consumers have a right to file lawsuits under California law alleging food products are falsely labeled "organic," the state Supreme Court ruled.
Thursday's ruling overturned a lower court decision that barred such suits on the grounds that they were superseded and not allowed by federal law.
Congress wanted only state and federal officials to police organic food violations in order to create a national standard for organic foods, a division of the 2nd District Court of Appeal decided in 2013.
But the state Supreme Court said allowing consumer lawsuits would further congressional goals of curtailing fraud and ensuring consumers can rely on organic labels.
"Accordingly, state lawsuits alleging intentional organic mislabeling promote, rather than hinder, Congress's purposes and objectives," Associate Justice Kathryn Werdegar wrote for the unanimous court.
The ruling will have an impact beyond California's borders, said Marsha Cohen, a professor at UC Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco.
"Nothing in here is irrelevant to a parallel case in another state," she said. "The court is simply saying federal law does not supersede our consumer protection functions."
At issue were allegations in a lawsuit by consumer Michelle Quesada that Herb Thyme Farms Inc. — one of the nation's largest herb producers — mixed organic and non-organic herbs then falsely labeled the product "100 % organic." The term "organic" means the food was produced using sustainable practices and without synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, or genetic engineering, according to the California Department of Public Health. The department says products labeled "100% organic" must consist of only organic ingredients.
A call to Cliff Neimeth, an attorney for Herb Thyme Farms, was not immediately returned.
The company said in court documents it had been authorized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to use the organic label.
Allowing individual lawsuits challenging that designation would open it up to interpretation by a "lay jury," creating a patchwork of standards for the term "organic" that would defeat the goal of a national organic foods marketplace, the company said.
"If a lone consumer can second-guess the USDA's certification, and a grower cannot rely on its federal authorization to use the term, the already high cost of production of such products will skyrocket, or more likely, there will be no organic products to enjoy," Mark Kemple, an attorney for Herb Thyme Farms, wrote in a 2014 brief to the California Supreme Court.
Werdegar said judges — not juries — would decide such lawsuits using the federal organic labeling standard.
Raymond Boucher, an attorney for Quesada, said the ruling was a big victory for consumers.
"When Ms. Quesada goes in to buy a product that's stamped as organic, she wants to know this truly is organic, and she can feel good about it," he said.
The state Supreme Court's ruling reinstates Quesada's lawsuit. The suit seeks to represent thousands of consumers who "fell victim to Herb Thyme's scheme to mislead consumers into paying premium prices for impostor products," her attorneys wrote in a court filing.

Words about faith, life, love, and the journey
Huckabillys, Unite!
Most polls show Mike Huckabee behind McCain, Romney and Giuliani in Florida, but he is second in nation-wide polling (see Real Clear Politics, here). You won't hear that on most news networks. The fact that his underfunded campaign is still going strong is a testimony to the strong grassroots support he has.
My mother has given me a new nickname: Huckabilly. I'm not really a hillbilly — there's not a hill within 100 miles of where I live on the prairie — but I do believe Governor Huckabee is the best choice for our nation. Today I have become a Ranger for Mike Huckabee. That means I am one person, traversing the internet highways, trying to rope in some support and funds for Governor Huckabee's campaign. If your conscience leans towards Huckabee and you want to help his campaign, go here, and enter in my Ranger Code R7954 so I can get credit for raising some funds. My goal is $100 by midnight January 26th. I will match 100% for the amount we raise, up to $100.
That's why tomorrow I will be a part of http://www.huckazoom.com. Huckazoom is a grasssroots effort to raise money for Huckabee's campaign. The goal is to raise $25,000 tomorrow, on January 25th. Supporters can register their intent to donate $25 at http://www.huckazoom.com; then, tomorrow, they can donate the $25 via Mike Huckabee's website. If four readers each donate $25, then we'll meet the goal!
Why am I devoting time and funds in these crunching economic times? Why would it be good for you to do so, too? Because it matters…by doing so, you will be giving a cup of cold water to "one of these little ones because he is my disciple."
2And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward." Matthew 10
In the eyes of the major news networks, Governor Huckabee is an underdog. He is a "little one." I choose to bring a $25 cup of cold water to Mike Huckabee as he walks along this campaign trail. He is a deeply faithful Christ-follower, engaging the culture by his leadership and common sense. I choose to stand up for someone who is for us, who seeks to be a servant leader. Numerous conservative pro-family leaders have endorsed Huckabee in Florida, including:
Art Ally, The Timothy Plan
Frank Attkisson, Florida State Representative
Bill Bunkley, Host of Drive Time, Salem Radio Network
Barbara Collier with the Christian Coalition of Broward County *
Ken Connor, with the Center for a Just Society*
John Grant, Florida Senate, Retired
Janet Folger, with Faith2Action*
Terry Kemple, with Community Issues Forum*
Tomas Lares, with Council on Faith in Action (CONFIA)*
Pam Olson, with the Florida Prayer Network*
Rep. Marco Rubio, Speaker,
Mat Staver, with Liberty Counsel*
John Stemberger, with Florida Family Policy Council*
Stephen Strang, Strang Communications
Dr. David Uth, with First Baptist Church ofOrlando *
Senator Daniel Webster, Florida Senate

One of the bloggers for Huckabee wrote,
I'm not for Mike Huckabee. Mike Huckabee is for me. That's why I'm voting for him.
Another reason to give is to try to level the playing field. Individuals are allowed to donate up to $2300, period. Married couples can give a combined $4600. But if you are an independently wealthy candidate, you can spend AS MUCH of your own money on advertising and fundraising as you want. Current election laws favor the wealthy. But is America a country where only the very wealthy are fit to lead? Of course not! Our own Constitution says that all men were created equal. But even more stirring than that is that in God's economy, the poor are the ones who will be blessed. Governor Huckabee will use these funds with the utmost of caution, realizing that people like you and me trust him to put them to good use. It is amazing that in Iowa, he was outspent almost 65 to 1, and he still won the caucus.
And that brings to mind another thought: Huckabee won a caucus. What do people do in a caucus? They talk. They reason together. Well, I can't reason with you in the voting booth during the primary elections, but I can reason with you here. In a nutshell, here is why this Huckabilly supports Mike Huckabee:
Families. Huckabee believes that parents do a better job raising kids than the government and that the government has no business interfering.
Homeschooling. Huckabee believes that homeschoolers ought to be "left alone" and is endorsed by the Homeschool Legal Defense Fund Association, of which I am a member.
Education. Although I homeschool, I know that most children in this country are enrolled in public schools. Governor Huckabee was faced with a court order to improve the schools in Arkansas. Under his leadership, Arkansas schools rankings went from near the bottom to near the top. He will use the presidency as a "bully pulpit" to encourage reforms such as increased opportunities for the creative aspects of education, like music and art. As a teacher, I am 100% in agreement with his belief that the coming years will require a workforce that is able to "think on its feet" and solve problems in creative ways.
Human life amendment. Governor Huckabee is the only candidate in favor of a Human Life Amendment to the US Constitution. Such an amendment would require a vote by the people, but I believe it is essential that we at least try to get on the right foot here. What started as a way to prevent women's deaths from back alley abortions has now become an epidemic. I have had a miscarriage at 8 weeks and at 2 weeks. Both times, I knew without a doubt that a living being had died, a unique child with a unique DNA. I don't pretend to have all the answers, but I do believe our country deserves the chance to either approve or deny a human life amendment.
Value of people. More than any other candidate, Governor Huckabee believes in our country's constitution that every person has been created equal. He will not favor people based on their income or stock portfolios. He is a true representative of the everyday man and woman. He showed creativity and leadership during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and treated the refugees with dignity. While other places were herding people into stadiums like cattle, he worked with the scouting groups and church groups to open up their summer camping programs. These people were given more than just a roof over their heads. They were given hugs, hope, and even recreation opportunities in the midst of a terrible tragedy. The way he handled the huge influx of people shows that he knows how to respond to disaster — rather than group huge numbers of people together, they kept the groups small to help preserve order and to quarantine in case of outbreaks of illness.
Marriage. When he was nineteen years old, his wife Janet was diagnosed with cancer in her spinal cord. She had to have surgery, and they were told she may be paralyzed from the waist down. Could you have handled that at nineteen? He stayed by her side, drove her miles and miles five days a week to get radiation therapy and cared for her during her recovery. Governor Huckabee also supports an amendment stating that marriage is a union between a man and a woman. He does not deny others their right to live differently, but he believes it degrades the whole meaning of the word marriage to allow other unions the same name.
Fair tax. The sheer lunacy of our tax system has got to stop. Governor Huckabee believes that Harvard economists had it right when they came up with a Fair Tax plan. You can see more about this plan here. A tax system based on consumption would go a long way towards bringing business back to America. Three trillion in offshore revenues making its way back into our economy would be quite a shot in the arm!
Health Care. Governor Huckabee is the only candidate who actively speaks of our nation's health crisis. He recognizes that the health care industry is spiraling out of control — but doesn't look for a government bail out or socialized medicine. There is something broken in our system when a health plan won't cover the cost of a diabetic's shoes but then pays $30,000 for the same diabetic to get an amputation. He knows what he's talking about; he lost over 100 pounds after he got diabetes and has written a book about his experience — Digging Your Grave With a Knife and a Fork. His leadership — and his example — in this area could go a long way towards helping our people develop healthier lifestyles.
Tonight the Republican candidates will have a debate on MSNBC at 8 p.m., Central. I will be watching, and I urge you to watch, too. See what you think about Huckabee. Visit his website. Tell your friends and family. And if you can, give $25 tomorrow. Let's help Huck ZOOM ahead…keeping in mind Proverbs 16:3:
3 Commit to the LORD whatever you do,
and your plans will succeed.

Great photos and description of work. Nice job!
This car is vary lucky it found you!
its tough to have multiple projects, we are trying to finish race prepping our class 11 vw bug for the Mint 400 but with these fenders in hand it's hard to focus on the final prep!
Fun to see a Bug out there still. They are getting harder to find or see on the street, at least around here. A college buddy of mine had one that would do the 1/4 mile in the low 14's (was running out of gears at the end), and it was a terror in the 1/8 mile... Few V8 cars could take him and it got to the point that nobody would race him in the 1/8 mile. That was 30 yrs ago though. It was a cool car.

Those clamps are pretty slick! And that rocker gives me some ideas. I may try a hybrid of what you did and what I've been doing.
Turns out I am very weak when it comes to tools since I just ordered a set of those clamps. I also ordered some clecos too since I think they will be very handy soon. Thanks again.

Ha! Ours isn't that quick, but it sure is fun and always impresses me with what it can do. It can get through some pretty serious stuff, but at the same time, stock parts only hold up to so much abuse so we are constantly rebuilding after races.

My roadster rebuild keeps getting held up by snowmobile repairs, but once I finish the current one it looks like I will be good for the season. 59 degrees here now.
I only had a short amount of time today to progress on the roadster. I decided to work a bit on the front fender. It will take a while to work this out, but I'm still learning the hammer and dolly techniques. The front fender is definitely a bit crinkled but it is healing! Here are before and after shots. I am using the harbor freight hammer and dolly set.
Very nice! What does the hammer and dolly look like?
Ok thanks. I have some old hand me down hammers that look a little like these and also an anvil type dolly, however have not used it. I've seen where some folks hammer directly over the dolly and some where they put the dolly under the dent area and hammer around it. I guess the trick is known when to use which technique.
The Datsun has been on hold for a couple weeks as we got through final prep on the race car. We're on our way to the Mint 400 this weekend then back to body work when I return.
