If after the debacles in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya (dare I say Vietnam?) some people still want the U.S. government to intervene — further — in the war inside Syria (but fueled by outsiders), we must conclude, not that they can't learn the lessons of recent history, but that they won't because doing so would be contrary to their assorted political, ideological, and material interests.
Eighty percent of U.S. arms to Afghan rebels in the 1980s ended up in the hands of Hezb-e-Islami, the most hardline of the half dozen or so mujahedeen groups fighting the Soviets and their puppet Afghan regime. After the Soviets withdrew and Afghanistan's Communist government was overthrown, Hezb-e-Islami forces killed thousands of Afghan civilians and are now allied with the Taliban fighting American forces.
For starters, President Obama articulates — as he has not done — how the disintegration of Syria represents a serious danger to America's interests and ideals. The United States moves to assert control of the arming and training of rebels — funneling weapons through the rebel Supreme Military Council, cultivating insurgents who commit to negotiating an orderly transition to a nonsectarian [!] Syria. We make clear to President Assad that if he does not cease his campaign of terror and enter negotiations on a new order, he will pay a heavy price. When he refuses, we send missiles against his military installations until he, or more likely those around him, calculate that they should sue for peace.
All of this must be carefully choreographed [!] and accompanied by a symphony of diplomacy to keep our allies with us and our adversaries at bay. The aim would be to eventually have a transition government, stabilized for a while by an international peacekeeping force drawn mostly from neighboring states like Turkey.
Such humility is also exuded by Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham, neocon guru William Kristol, and others.
goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.
None of this is to suggest that what's going on in Syria isn't a heart-breaking catastrophe. Innocent people are dying, and all decent people naturally want it to stop. (Which is not to say that this is the motive for intervention; the motive is to deal a blow to Iran, Syria's ally.) But the impulse to "do something" must be always be restrained — especially when government bureaucrats will be doing it and double especially when the object of the action is a foreign society, the complexities of which are always beyond the ken of policymakers. And none is more complex than Syria, where Sunni Muslims including al-Qaeda oppose Assad's authoritarian minority Alawite (part of Shia Islam) regime and Christians support it.
If the general principle of limiting government power isn't enough to stop all U.S. intervention in Syria, the particulars of this case certainly should be.

"filling the pain with empty calories" - that's a whole other blog post right there. A whole series, even.
Amen to sleep and water!
Good on you for speaking so honestly with your doctor. I am miserbly tired right now, because of my own doing. I think once the babies in bed I need to make the most of my time without her, because of that I ended up going to bed waaaay too late. Last night I went to bed at 11.30, the first time in a week I got to bed before midnight. I'm torturing myself!!!
Take care of yourself Jess.
I've been having the same internal debate with myself lately. It's reassuring to hear I'm not the only one.
When I finally got the nerve to go to my doctor about my depression (not PND, I don't think, just regular depression), I was actually having a good day and didn't feel like crying at all. I sat down, she said "So what's your problem?" and I said "Well, I think I have depression...". Whereupon she reached over with a slightly world-weary poker face and slapped a box of tissues down in front of me. It was kind of hilarious.
Anyway, yes, fatigue is ghastly. Good luck with the bedtime routine!

Entergy agrees to continue pumping tritiated water
Shumlin: �Grateful� for company�s willingness to meet with him
Additional reporting was provided by Anne Galloway, editor of VTDigger.org.
VERNON—Entergy Corp. has agreed to resume pumping tritiated groundwater from the soils within the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant compound by the end of December. The Louisiana-based corporation has also said it will step up its environmental monitoring efforts.
Gov.-elect Peter Shumlin toured Vermont Yankee on Friday and met with Entergy officials to discuss a formal request he issued to the company and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
In his letter last week to Michael Colomb, Vermont Yankee site vice-president, and Gregory Jazcko, head of the NRC, Shumlin asked Entergy to resume pumping radioactive water from the ground, continue monitoring an abandoned drinking water well in the Construction Office Building, which has tested positive for tritium, and continue its testing of Connecticut River fish and plant life for radioactivity.
Entergy spokesman Larry Smith said Entergy could answer "yes" to all three requests. "I think we're in full agreement," he said.
Smith said extraction would resume by the end of December once pumps have been installed.
He contended Entergy's decision to continue extracting tritiated water from the site was based on information the company recently obtained – not on the letter or the meeting with the future governor. Smith did not elaborate, except to say, "[The meeting] was very good from our perspective."
On Friday night, Shumlin said the visit was "worthwhile."
"As governor I have to work with everybody — that's my job," Shumlin said.
As president pro tem of the Senate, he led the charge to block the Public Service Board from issuing a Certificate of Public Good for the plant, which is scheduled to be retired in March 2012. Even if the plant receives a renewal of its federal license from the NRC, Vermont Yankee cannot operate in the state without the CPG.
Throughout Shumlin's campaign for governor, he aggressively used the Yankee issue against his opponent, Republican Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie.
Shumlin said he did not discuss Entergy's relicensing bid with Vermont Yankee officials on Friday. After the meeting, he struck a more conciliatory tone, saying that he was grateful for the officials' willingness to meet with him.
"As governor, I want to have as productive a relationship with Entergy, who is the owner of our only nuke plant, as possible," Shumlin said. "I appreciate their willingness to sit down with me. Obviously, I've been one of their lead critics. It would be easy for them to slam the door on me."
Shumlin said the tritium plume is now close to the former Construction Office Building drinking water well. The soils in this area of the plant compound are compressed, he said, as a result of the fill that was used to construct the facility in the early 1970s. The compacted soil will slow down the extraction, he said.
"Every gallon we pump out now is a gallon we don't have to deal with later," Shumlin said. "The most important part of the visit was the conversations about minimizing as much as possible the damage from the leaks."
Tritium leaks at Vermont Yankee were first reported last January. A leaking underground pipe and clogged drain sent water containing radioactive isotopes, including tritium — the form of radioactive hydrogen that can contaminate water — into the ground around the plant.
According to Smith, the plume of contaminated water has continued to follow the site's hydrology, west to east, toward the Connecticut River.
Last spring, Vermont Yankee officials identified the source of the leaks, excavated the area around the leaks, began extracting tritiated water from the site, and dug monitoring wells on the compound to measure tritium levels. Over the course of the spring and summer, testing results showed declining levels of the radioactive isotope.
The Vermont Department of Health recommended the extraction, and Entergy originally agreed to pump 300,000 gallons of tritiated water from the soil and to re-evaluate whether continued extraction was necessary once the target amount had been removed.
Smith said Entergy removed 309,000 gallons of groundwater. Extraction was halted on Nov. 18. Smith said that in the interim, Entergy had been waiting to hear about the site's hydrology and to see if "what we've been doing was having an effect."
The amount of tritium found in routine testing in the wells closer to the original leak site is "trending down," according to Smith. The wells closer to the river, east of the leak site, are showing higher numbers, as expected.
"It's headed toward the river, and we've never denied it," said Smith. "But we can't measure tritium above background levels in the river."
Shumlin said he wanted to keep Vermonters safe and that the end goal of dealing with the contaminated ground water was to "mitigate all radioisotopes," such as the Strontium-90 also found in the soil surrounding the leak site.
"The challenge is to mitigate as much as we can," Shumlin said. "It's prudent to pump out as much tritium as we can. I'm grateful to Entergy they've agreed to continue pumping."

Cica Is The Latest Buzz In Skincare, But Should You Use It?
Sharon Brandwein is a parenting and commerce writer, currently living in Alabama. Her work has appeared on ABCNews, Motherly, Parents, Bustle, and Elite Daily.
More posts by Sharon Brandwein.
What Is Cica?
Cica is the more commonly used term for Centella Asiatica. It is also known as gotu kola, Indian pennywort, and tiger grass. Cica is a leafy green herb that has been used for centuries in eastern medicine to treat wounds. In fact, the term tiger grass stems from the fact that tigers have been known to rub their wounds on the herb to heal their wounds and scratches.
Cica started its foray into skincare and beauty products with K Beauty. In recent years though, its popularity has been gaining a significant amount of steam. Cica is now finding its way into skincare products everywhere the world over.
What Are The Benefits Of Cica?
Research has shown that cica is teeming with amino acids, beta-carotene, fatty acids, and vitamins C, B, and B2, all of which work in concert to produce some pretty incredible skin-boosting benefits.
Cica can calm inflammation, strengthen the skin's moisture barrier and increase the production of collagen (something we all lose as we age). If that weren't plenty, there is a growing body of evidence to suggest that cica can even help balance oily skin and reduce acne.
Is Cica Safe For Sensitive Skin?
Cica has plenty of soothing and healing properties, and it's gentle enough for the most sensitive skin. Moreover, with all that cica seems to be capable of, it sounds like it can be beneficial to almost anyone regardless of their skincare concerns.
How Can You Incorporate Cica Into Your Skin Care Routine?
If you're thinking about adding cica to your skincare routine, we have some good news. You should have no problems finding products that contain this magical ingredient. Cica has arrived and it's finding its way into serums masks, and creams.
If you're still not sure, here are some great options for your shortlist:
L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Cicacream
This cica-infused cream with Pro Retinol Visibly reduces wrinkles and helps repair the Skin Barrier, To reduce the visible signs of aging. It's perfect for all skin types and for less than $10, it's certainly a low-risk way to try a novel ingredient.

Wrexham Glyndwr University to House 850,000 Honey Bees in New Flintshire Hive Partnership
Published: Sunday, Jul 9th, 2017
Hundreds of thousands of honey bees have made their home in North East Wales after a University threw its support behind a campaign to halt a decline in the population of the insect.
Wrexham Glyndwr University and Coleg Cambria have supplied Flint and District Beekeepers Association with land for 14 hives, housing up to 850,000 bees in Northop.
As well as preserving the species, students will also have the opportunity to work with the group to study the bees and the pollination process.
University spokeswoman Pip Francis said the Northop campus is already home to many types of wildlife, adding that they were happy to help the Association.
"We are delighted to support Flint and District Beekeepers Association in their battle to save the honey bee," said Pip.
"As well as being a fantastic opportunity for our students to learn more about them, it means we are helping with conservation and the environment, which is a major role of this campus."
Each hive could contain up to 60,000 bees, particularly during the summer months when numbers contract in the warmer weather.
Satya Schofield, treasurer of the Association, thanked the University for supporting the project.
"We are so grateful to Wrexham Glyndwr University and the college for hosting the beehives," said Satya.
"Bees play a major role in the survival of our ecosystem – fertilising trees and plants and produce – so they are of massive importance to farmers and food suppliers.
"The Flintshare orchard at Northop is an example of this; they said their produce has improved because of the bees we now have on site. The number of beekeepers in the UK is on the increase, so we are thrilled to have secured this partnership."
Wrexham Glyndwr University currently has three known feral colonies of honey bee on the Plas Coch campus and whilst not on the endangered species register as yet, they are at serious risk of decline within the UK.
By having these beehives put in place it will enable opportunities for teaching and learning resources for students and staff through activities such as observations and lectures, outdoor learning and curriculum development and an opportunity to engage with the local community.

Easter Procurement – How Do They Make Yours?
April 10, 2020 Procurious HQ
They have been a staple in the Easter diet for many children (and adults too!) for decades. But just how does Cadbury make the Creme Eggs we enjoy so much?
The humble Cadbury's Creme Egg has been an Easter staple since its launch nearly half a century ago. Global sales of the eggs are over 500 million per year, with the UK alone accounting for approximately 200 million per year (that's around 3 each per year in the UK), with the majority of these manufactured in Birmingham, UK.
The Creme Egg brand has a value in itself of £55 million, which certainly isn't bad for a confectionery item that's only available between January and Easter each year.
Like them or loathe them, Easter just wouldn't be the same without the instantly recognisable purple, red and yellow packaging (or green, blue, red and yellow if you happen to live in the USA). It's no small feat to produce the volume of eggs to satisfy global demand, at such a specific time of year to take full advantage of the condensed sales period.
Before we delve into the supply chain and production process, some facts about this famous egg…
All Gone a Bit Egg Shaped – Fun Facts!
Cadbury Creme Eggs are banned in the USA.
In fact, all Cadbury-manufactured chocolate is banned in the USA, Creme Eggs amongst them. The Hershey Company has the rights to manufacture all Cadbury chocolate in the USA and the move was to limit competition with imported items.
They really do taste different in different countries.
This is down to the recipes being altered slightly to adjust to different tastes, as well as to account for some ingredients that are banned in certain countries.
Cadbury tried to change the recipe in 2016.
More on this below, but let's just say that it did not go well…
The eggs are shrinking, as are the multipacks.
Not only are the Eggs themselves shrinking thanks to 'shrinkflation', but in 2015 the multipacks dropped from six to five eggs. But that probably helps with the next fact…
They are really unhealthy (but you knew that and it doesn't really matter anyway).
Each egg contains around the same volume of sugar as two bowls of really sugary cereal. And at around 6 teaspoons of sugar, it's what the American Heart Association considers to be a full day's worth of sugar.
The Creme Egg that we buy and eat today has been in production since its introduction in 1963. It's recipe has been the same since this time, using the same key ingredients. There was a brief period in 2015 when Mondelez, who currently own Cadbury, and Kraft, their parent company, changed the recipe. This involved changing the use of Cadbury's Dairy Milk chocolate for the egg's shell to a cheaper, cocoa-based shell.
And much like the ill-fated New Coke recipe, the outcry was much the same. After much protest the recipe was changed back, but not before the organisation had seen a loss in sales estimated at £6 million in 2015. FYI, for those of you outside the UK, don't get a Brit started on what their feelings are on Cadbury's chocolate in general since the firm was taken over by Schweppes and then Mondelez!
The key ingredients we're looking at here are, of course, cocoa and, in Cadbury's own words, "a glass and a half of milk in each bar". The majority of the milk in the UK, over 50%, is supplied by dairy farm co-operative, Selkley Vale farmers, from Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.
The cocoa is a bit more complicated and, in the past, a lot more controversial. As with most chocolate manufacturers, Cadbury sources its chocolate from countries with high volumes of cocoa production – Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, Indonesia, the Dominican Republic, India and Brazil. Previously fully affiliated with Fairtrade, Cadbury drew criticism of practices and its supply chain when it dropped this in 2016 in favour of a new scheme, Cocoa Life.
The scheme, which is, as of 2019 working in close partnership with Fairtrade, aims to use over $400 million to aid 200,000 cocoa farmers worldwide. Not only will this mean that more Cadbury chocolate is made from sustainably sourced cocoa, but farmers will still have benefits in line with Fairtrade goals, such as improved income, competitive pricing and tailored investment suited to their needs.
Cadbury has been able to leverage its supply chain well in recent years to provide a solid and stable foundation for its production in the UK, Canada and the USA. How do they go from that to the magic end product?
Ever wondered how Cadbury manages to get the very unhealthy, yet absolutely delicious, fondant filling into Creme Eggs? Had discussions over whether it's an injection mould for the outer shells and then the fillings? Then wonder no more!
It's actually quite simple really. The two halves of the shell are made separately and then filled with the fondant to create that 'fresh egg' look inside. The halves are then shut in a book mould to create the final product, that is then wrapped for sale. If you want to see everything in action, there's a great video on YouTube (and below…) from Bloomberg on the full UK production process.
Probably the most bizzare thing in the whole production process, apart from the fact that there's someone working for Cadbury whose job title is 'Easter Shift Manager', is that all of this happens in winter. Supply chains are year-round anyway, but production processes need to be done in such a way that the hundreds of millions of eggs are ready for shipping for the 1st of January.
There you have it – a brief history of, and the not-so-secrets behind manufacturing one of the pillars of Easter. Now, I don't know about you, but we're off to the shops for a few Creme Eggs before they disappear for another year…!

Tamasha presentsDecolonising HistoryWed 30 Oct 2019
A Tamasha Digital Project for SOAS, supported by Arts Council England.
For years, students and staff at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) have been active voices in debates about 'Decolonising History' – what it means in practice, and if it is even possible.
Inspired in part by SOAS's own uncomfortable past as a training college for officers of the British Empire, SOAS History department hosted five Tamasha playwrights on an access-all-areas basis.
Five thrilling audio dramas reflect what they found. Exploring issues from politicised teaching, to the legacy of trauma, to the joys of discovering uncelebrated historical figures, these five plays showcase the power of drama to unpack big ideas in a human and relatable way.
Hear two of the five audios dramas at Rich Mix on Wed 30 October:
Scar Tissue by Satinder Chohan
When sisters Neeti and Priya travel back to India to scatter their grandmother's ashes, Neeti takes with her the final recordings their beloved Bibi made on her death bed. Haunted by her past and gripped by strange visitations, Bibi's voice follows them on their journey, before revealing a devastating secret.
Please note: listeners may find some scenes featured in this piece distressing.
The Museum by Danusia Samal
Once upon a time, a desperate man accepted an offer he couldn't refuse for a collection of highly personal community artefacts at risk from war. Years later his daughter, on a scholarship to a London university, seeks out the academic she holds responsible. What lengths is she prepared to go to, to reclaim this lost museum?
Accompanying the playback will be a panel debate involving SOAS staff, students and playwrights, chaired by Aliyah Hasinah and featuring MA.MOYO (performer). This will be your opportunity to ask questions about the journey they have been on together, and about this fascinating subject.
Illustration by Erin Aniker.
The discipline of History as we know it today is a product of the age of European empire. This has had profound consequences for our understanding of where 'history' happens and who shapes it.

Restoring old Aston Martins is painstaking work
Aston Martin Works' Heritage Centre brings rare classics back to life with hand-crafted care
Brian Harper
Jul 28, 2014 • Last Updated November 12, 2020 • 4 minute read
NEWPORT PAGNELL, England — In retrospect, it probably wasn't that smart an idea. That is to say, put a couple of auto writers in a $200,000 V12-powered, right-hand-drive Aston Martin Vantage S and let them loose on the unfamiliar, narrow, twisty backroads of central England — the ones with high curbs when they wend their way through quaint villages with silly names. It's just an invitation for a mishap involving a very expensive repair or, at least, some banged up wheel rims (also quite pricey).
Luckily, there was no international incident, or even mild embarrassment, as my driving partner and I enjoyed the mellifluous tones emanating from the 565-horsepower powerplant without putting a ding in the car's aluminum sheet metal or chewing up the rims. However, it got me thinking: Where does an Aston Martin owner turn to if the beloved chariot has met with misfortune, or if the car, after many years of enjoyment, is looking a tad ratty and is in need of some TLC?
Yes, there are competent local body repair facilities and restoration shops, but if one has the time, money and wherewithal, the very best care resides at Aston Martin Works' Heritage Centre, located across the street from the bespoke British sports car maker's former manufacturing facility (from 1955 to 2003) in Newport Pagnell. Whether it's maintenance, mechanical service, body repair, painting or a full-blown restoration, the Heritage Centre handles it with time-honoured tradition that reflects the history of Aston Martin as well as skills that are rapidly becoming lost arts.
Painstaking repairs are made entirely by hand at Aston Martin Works.
At AM's new manufacturing plant in nearby Gaydon — with its clean and modern assembly lines — the company's extravagantly priced vehicle lineup is still largely hand-built, often by loyal workers who affix their names or initials to various components and trim materials as the cars are carefully put together. Even the paint department eschews the modernity of computerized robot arms spraying bodies with a limited palette of chosen colours for skilled painters finishing the cars in whatever custom shade the customer chooses.
That 101-year history of hand-assembling new cars is duplicated in the Heritage Centre, and is most ably demonstrated in the building's panel-beating department, where sheets of aluminum are shaped on old-fashioned English wheels and painstakingly turned into hoods and fenders and doors. The front end of a DB5, notes Scott Fisher, the public relations manager for Aston Martin Works, takes approximately 220 hours to complete.
In this department, 10 or so post-war Astons are laid bare, stripped of their finery, their chassis and panels in various stages of repair. Here, Fisher allows that a full, ground-up restoration of a model such as a DB4, 5 or 6 — cars first built during the 1950s and '60s — will set the owner back a princely £330,000 (about $600,000). After a suitable time — the waiting list to have one's car restored is 18 months, says Fisher, and the Works can only handle about 25 cars at a time — the process will take a further 18 to 24 months. The result, he promises, is a car that will be better than when it first came out of the factory doors. And, even though most Astons have not reached the astronomical prices of similar vintage Ferraris, the outlay can be worth it: Fisher says a concours-quality DB5 with a little provenance could easily fetch £1-million (about $1.8-million) in England. (Pressing the point, some Astons are worth their weight in gold: In one corner of the Centre sat a simply stunning and very rare DB4 GT Zagato fettled for vintage racing. Asked its value, Fisher — without batting an eye— simply said "about £10-million.") Sidebar here for those of us of more ordinary means: That someone would take a $18-million car and risk it out on a racetrack, instead of sticking it in a museum or shuttering it behind vault-like doors, should be applauded as much for audacity as bravery.
This stunning and very rare DB4 GT Zagato is worth more than $18 million CDN.
Making sure Astons continue to be returned to their former glories for many years hence, the Works has an aggressive apprenticeship program for young technicians who show promise. This program is key, says Fisher, for teaching apprentices methods of repair and refinishing that are outdated in the modern world, such as a properly tuning a four-carburetor setup on a V8 engine. "You can't just plug in a computer; you have to be able to tune by eye and ear and feel."
For anyone considering becoming a "custodian" of a Heritage Aston Martin, the Works does have a showroom of available models of various vintage and condition. The current list of cars for sale includes a DB5 of the exact year and colour as James Bond's legendary wheels in Goldfinger and Thunderball — without the machine guns and other Q-designed paraphernalia — as well as one of two DB6 Shooting Brake (i.e., station wagon) of its type known to exist, this one built for Formula One driver Innes Ireland. The price of exclusivity isn't for the faint-hearted, however; the Shooting Brake has a £750,000 price tag.
This Aston Martin DB5, the same year and colour as the one featured in the James Bond flicks Goldfinger and Thunderball, is up for sale.

10+ Interesting Spider Facts That Will Surprised You Entirely
Emily Walker December 14, 2022, 3:09 am
Spiders are fascinating creatures that have many interesting characteristics and behaviors.
Whether they are big or small, web-spinning or hunting on the ground, these arachnids have unique features that allow them to thrive in various environments around the world.
This article will explore some of the most intriguing spider facts, including their appearance, behaviors, and unique adaptations.
Fact #1: Spiders are not insects.
Spiders are a distinct group of animals that are often misunderstood and feared by many people.
They are not insects, as many people mistakenly believe, but actually arachnids – a group that also includes other eight-legged creatures like scorpions and mites.
One of the most interesting characteristics of spiders is their unique anatomy.
Most spiders have eight legs, which is one of the key features that distinguish them from insects.
They also have two body segments – a fused head and thorax called the cephalothorax and an abdomen – as well as several pairs of eyes.
Fact #2: There are over 40,000 species of spiders in the world.
There are over 40,000 different species of spiders in the world, making them one of the most diverse and widespread groups of animals on the planet.
These arachnids can be found on almost every continent, inhabiting a wide range of habitats from desert sands to tropical rainforests.
Despite their diversity and wide distribution, however, there are still many gaps in our understanding of spider biology and ecology, and new species are routinely discovered by researchers around the world.
Fact #3: Most spiders are harmless to humans.
Spiders are typically harmless to humans, with only a small number of species being capable of biting or otherwise harming people.
Most spiders do not have venom potent enough to cause serious effects in humans, and even those that are able to bite rarely do so unless they are provoked or trapped against the skin.
However, there are some rare cases where spider bites can cause serious health issues, such as allergic reactions or infections.
For this reason, it is important to be cautious around spiders and to avoid provoking them if you are unsure of their species or behavior.
Fact #4: Spiders typically eat insects.
Spiders are well-known for their ability to hunt and capture small insects, using a variety of techniques such as web silk, sticky fluid, and expertly timing their strikes.
However, some larger species of spiders are also capable of preying on small mammals and birds.
One example of this is the South American Goliath birdeater, a massive tarantula that is one of the largest spiders in the world.
This spider uses its strong jaws to kill and subdue small birds and mammals before dragging the prey back to its burrow to devour at its leisure.
Fact #5: All spiders have venom.
Spiders are well known for their ability to produce venom, a toxic substance that can be used to subdue and kill prey.
While all types of spiders have venom, only a few species have venom that is harmful to humans.
These species typically produce a more potent form of venom than other spiders, which can cause serious effects such as allergic reactions or infections in people who are bitten.
Fact #6: The venom of a spider is used to kill its prey.
The venom of a spider is used both to kill its prey and to defend itself against potential predators.
This venom is typically injected through the spider's fangs, which are modified mouthparts that can be rapidly extended and retracted as needed.
Most species of spider use venom in their hunting behavior, either by biting their prey directly or using specialized venom-delivery techniques such as spinning webs or shooting web silk.
This venom typically contains toxic compounds that are designed to immobilize and kill the prey, allowing the spider to feed on its body without resistance.

Fact #7: Spiders typically mate in the spring or summer months.
Spiders typically mate in the spring or summer months, usually after their first major molt of the year.
During mating, the male spider deposits sperm into a specialized organ called the palpal bulb, which is located on his pedipalps (a pair of appendages near his mouth).
After mating, the female spider uses her silk glands to construct a silken sac, which she attaches to her web.
This sac serves as a protective nest for her eggs, and she will typically lay hundreds of eggs in the sac and guard it until they hatch.
Fact #8: Baby spiders are called spiderlings.
Baby spiders, or spiderlings, hatch from their eggs into the care of their mother, who carries them on her back until they are old enough to fend for themselves.
This typically occurs in the spring or summer months, when the young spiders will have completed their first major molt of the year.
During this time, the baby spiders will climb up the legs of their mother, using small hooks on their feet to secure themselves.
Once they reach her back, they remain there for several days or weeks until they are old enough to venture out on their own.
Fact #9: Most spiders live for one to two years.
Most spiders live for one to two years, but some larger species can live for much longer, sometimes up to 20 years in captivity.
This longevity is largely determined by the type of spider and its living conditions, with some species thriving in natural environments and others surviving only under carefully controlled conditions in a laboratory or other human-controlled environment.
Fact #10: Some spiders build webs to catch their prey.
Some spiders build webs to catch their prey, while others hunt down their prey on foot.
This hunting behavior can take many different forms, depending on the type of spider and its natural environment.
Many web-building spiders use a combination of silk threads and chemical attractants to lure their prey into the webs, where they become entangled in the complex network of sticky threads and can be easily subdued.
Fact #11: The largest spider in the world is the goliath birdeater spider.
The goliath birdeater spider is the largest spider in the world, with a leg span of up to 12 inches and a body weight of up to 6 ounces.
This enormous arachnid is found in the rainforests of South America, where it uses its impressive size and powerful fangs to hunt for prey, such as insects, lizards, and small mammals.
Despite its fearsome appearance, the goliath birdeater is generally not considered to be a threat to humans.
However, its large size and powerful venom make it an important predator in the rainforest ecosystem, helping to keep insect populations in check.
Fact #12: The smallest spider in the world is the Patu marplesi spider.
The smallest spider in the world is the Patu marplesi, with a leg span of fewer than 0.39 inches (1 mm) and a weight of fewer than 0.0022 ounces (0.063 grams).
This tiny arachnid is found in the forests of New Zealand, where it uses its small size and powerful venom to hunt for insects and other small prey.
Overall, there are many interesting facts about spiders that make them fascinating creatures.
Whether they build webs to catch their prey or hunt down their prey on foot, these remarkable arachnids play an important role in the ecosystems of our planet.
So the next time you see a spider, take a moment to appreciate its unique and intriguing nature!

It's Pitch Madness Day! #PitMad
It's Pitch Madness Day, and I'm so excited! What is Pitch Madness, you ask? It's this incredibly fun game on Twitter, sponsored by a woman named Brenda Drake. Authors all over Twitter will pitch their novels to literary agents (and publishers?) in only the 140 characters allowed by Twitter.
Holy buckets! YOU try explaining the plot of your favorite book in 140 characters!! It's hard! But CRAZY fun!
As a writer, I'd loved to have my book picked up and sold to a huge publishing house. I mean, who wouldn't? But the truth is that the game is so much fun that it really doesn't matter. So, if you're in the mood for some entertainment, pop yourself a bowl of popcorn and head on over to #PitMad on Twitter!
BIG RULE: Please do NOT "favorite" any post unless you're an agent or publisher.
"Favoriting" is how the authors are notified by agents to send in their queries!
Want more information? Go to: http://www.brenda-drake.com/pitmad/
If you're interested in my book, here's the synopsis:
Victoria Hastings Harrison Greene knows her family despises her. She's even heard her grandchildren snigger behind her back about the "Immaculate Conception of David" — her fifth child, conceived between husbands. But Victoria refuses to die before revealing the secrets she's held locked away for more than 50 years; the secrets only whispered about in family folklore that have made her the feared matriarch of her family. Widowed with nine children, Victoria will do anything to provide for her large family — even murder, and without remorse. Each day brings greater challenges: poverty, homelessness, death, starvation, degradation and disease. Some challenges will require despicable acts to overcome. But at what cost? Can her family understand the decisions she's made to secure their futures?
In the meantime, best wishes to all of that authors out there madly tweeting their books! And stay tuned to see how I do!

666 missed classes marks year record
Hannah Cho
More students missed classes because of illness during the week of Nov. 3 than any week so far this school year.
The absences began on Tuesday when many students either came in late or left early, Head of Attendance Gabriel Preciado said. For the rest of the week, many of the students just stayed home.
"Most of these absences were due to colds, bugs, some students have pneumonia, fevers, and some students have been missing for multiple days, but Tuesday was one of the peak days," Preciado said.
That week, there were 666 classes missed due to illness, with about 168 students that did not attend school. However, Preciado predicted that the total classes missed for that week would be around 760 after the 160 unresolved absences are resolved. In addition, there were more field trips that week that added to the total number of classes missed for that week.
"I feel it, obviously because my workload spikes up, I get calls and students asking to leave campus," Preciado said.
The week before, Oct. 27, there were around 520 classes missed. The high number of absences is more commonly seen in December to February, Preciado said.

Hydrocarbons leaks at Loving-area facilities are called 'concerning' by Sendero President
Adrian Hedden
Hydrocarbons could be leaking out of at least two southern Eddy County extraction facilities, per video footage released this week by environmentalist group Earthworks.
The footage was created using Forward Looking InfraRed (FLIR) GF320 cameras directed at Sendero Midstream's Pecos Compressor Station in Loving, and a wellsite owned by Mewbourne Oil Co. in southern Eddy County.
Hydrocarbons, a chief component of petroleum and natural gas, can cause severe health effects if consumed in large quantities for an extended amount of time.
They can be harmless at low levels and short exposures, but can cause death, nausea or other illnesses, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control.
More:Natural gas expanding in southeast New Mexico, Sendero plans 4 more plants
While the cameras cannot detect the exact chemicals being released, or the quantity, Earthworks thermographer Sharon Wilson said the devices are specifically calibrated to pick up hydrocarbons and other volatile compounds.
After reviewing the footage during an interview with the Current-Argus, Sendero President and Chief Executive Officer Clay Bretches agreed that the apparent leak was "concerning."
Mewbourne did not return a request for comment.
Bretches said it appeared a pressure release valve was triggered and left open, releasing gas into the air, and Sendero personnel would immediately address the issue.
Such an incident can occur when a large amount of liquid is pumped into the compression station, raising the tank pressure and triggering the release to prevent an explosion, Bretches said.
More:Permian oil and gas growth could be hampered by infrastructure needs
Sendero also uses FLIR cameras to look for leaks, Bretches said, but had not found any at the gas compression plant that celebrated its grand opening last month.
Sendero's safety program calls for quarterly testing for leaks at the sites, he said.
"All our pipes are brand new," he said. "There should be minimal leakage. That's realistic."
More:Rescinded BLM fracking rule could have cost industry millions
Bretches said his company is committed to protecting the environment during its expansion which is expected to include four more facilities in southeast New Mexico.
"We're very committed to the environment," Bretches said. "These types of things are very concerning. We want to be good stewards of the environment. It will be addressed."
He said the possible leak would be inspected by Sendero workers immediately following the Friday interview.
"We're going to see to it that we step up our efforts to make sure this doesn't happen again," Bretches said.
Hydrocarbons absorb a "narrow" area of the light spectrum, Wilson said, and the cameras are the oil and gas industry's standard for detecting leaks.
Bretches confirmed that Sendero uses the same FLIR cameras during its own inspections.
"It's very narrowly tuned for the hydrocarbons," Wilson said. "It images the air pollution coming off of these facilities."
More:Activists, industry debate impact of venting methane rule
She said black or gray smoke seen in the footage indicates a high level of hydrocarbons that could be methane or other byproducts of extraction.
The camera is verified to pick up 20 volatile organic compounds, Wilson said, at a "minimum leak detection rate."
"If you're looking at a tank that holds oil and there's a lot of emissions, it's not going to be cotton candy," Wilson said. "It will be hydrocarbon vapors. It does pick up other compounds, and forms of air pollution."
Wilson said the footage was generated in hopes of raising awareness for the pollution that could be the result of oil and gas activities.
She was certified to use the equipment in 2014, and has created footage in 15 states and three countries.
More:Opposition grows against rollback of venting and flaring methane rule
The Permian Basin was one of the worst areas she's filmed, Wilson said, due to the fast-paced growth in the region's industry.
"It's the frenzied pace of the build out," she said. "They don't seem to be taking much care. It's really shocking to see this happening. The Permian Basin is the worst I've seen anywhere. For the people of Carlsbad, it's very harmful to their health.
"It's also a waste. That gas could be put in a pipeline."
According to the EDF, $240 million of potential revenue is lost per year due to methane waste. The industry disputed that number, saying that the methane capture rule recently rescinded by the Bureau of Land Management would have meant a $750 million loss in revenue for the New Mexico's general fund.
Extraction companies often favor quick development over environmental concerns, Wilson said, hoping to capitalize on a volatile industry that defines the region.
"I think they see it. They just don't do anything about it," she said. "Out there, they're moving so fast they don't to stop and take time. They're basically on their honor to solve the problem."
More:Bills in Congress could speed up BLM permit process
In addition to publicizing the footage online, Earthworks field advocate Nathalie Eddy said she filed seven complaints to the New Mexico Environment Department, each for a facility in the Loving area.
She said some of the sites had open "thief hatches" which vented large clouds of hydrocarbons into the air.
Eddy said it was unknown how long the gasses were vented, but were evident during filming on June 4.
More:Sendero Midstream proposes second natural gas plant in Eddy County
"We're not looking at heat," she said. "You could just see the density of the fumes comings off. We're looking for the most significant emissions. It's a danger for workers, and nearby homes. These sites aren't in peoples' backyards, but we know how far emissions can travel by wind."
The project to attempt to document emissions at extraction sites comes amid significant growth in the industry in New Mexico, in a year that saw a 150 percent increase in active wells, per June 15 data from Baker Hughes.
"We want more eyes on these sites," Eddy said. "The development is happening really fast. It feels very wild west and out of control. The Permian is on full charge ahead. You can feel it."
U.S. emissions could be higher than reported
The incident at Sendero came on the heels of a report issued by the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) on Thursday, reporting U.S. Oil and Gas methane emissions are 60 percent higher than reported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The reports cites data from the "journal Science" pointing to 13 million metric tons of methane released from operations each year.
The study was led by EDF researchers, claiming support from 15 other institutions, read an EDF news release.
The study estimated the leak rate at U.S. oil and gas systems at 2.3 percent, against the EPA's estimate of 1.4 percent, records show.
More:Study says EPA underestimates methane release numbers; industry leaders question
New research and more than half a decade of studies into methane emissions went into the report, read the release.
"These studies, synthesized in this Science paper, have transformed our understanding of methane emissions from natural gas systems in the United States," said Professor David Allen at the Cockrell School of Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, a contributor to the new paper and lead author on several of the earlier studies.
The findings reported included measurements taken at more than 400 well pads and six basins across the country, the release read.
EDF Chief Scientist Steven Hamburg said it was the most "comprehensive" study of methane emissions ever undertaken.
He said reducing methane emissions could increase state revenue if the released gas is instead captured, and sold.
More:Senate votes down BLM methane rule rollback
"Scientists have uncovered a huge problem, but also an enormous opportunity," Hamburg said. "Reducing methane emissions from the oil and gas sector is the fastest, most cost-effective way we have to slow the rate of warming today, even as the larger transition to lower-carbon energy continues."
EDF senior Vice President Mark Brownstein called on federal and state governments to increase oversight, and reduce emissions at extraction sites.
More:County to publicly oppose venting and flaring rule
The EDF report also called for a 45 percent reduction in methane emissions by 2025, a goal that could have the same benefit as "closing one-third of the world's coal plants."
"Federal and state governments must take action – and many states are – but industry leadership remains crucial," Brownstein said.
"Companies have the ability to lead through operational best practices, comprehensive methane programs, target setting, technology innovation and pilots, and constructively engaging with the regulatory process."

The touching story of a reclusive, embittered oldman (Philip Goldacre, Tomb Raider Ascension) and a young mother trying to outrun an abusive relationship (Tayo Elesin, Law and Order UK), The Journey of Alfred Small is a thought-provoking and meaningful film that examines the journeys of life and the ways in which we are both different and amazingly similar.
Written and directed by Mike Archer (Easy Virtue), The Journey of Alfred Small is a simple, quiet little film that allows the story time to grow, perhaps a tad too much, but in doing so brings life to these two lovely people whom everyone might not realize are quite lovely.
Alfred is an aging man who has become resigned to a daily routine of taking the bus to visit his hospitalized wife over the past three months; one day, his routine is disrupted when he meets Kendal, a young mother, and her young son, Benj, at the bus stop.
The meeting doesn't go well.
When Kendal suffers a violent attack at the hands of her boyfriend, Alfred must make a decision whether to continue living within his own little world or to get involved with someone whom he seemingly has nothing in common.
Perhaps the perfect metaphor for the state of American politics these days, such a scenario is thought-provoking, meaningful and difficult to forget even if it doesn't quite gel together perfectly. There are moments in the film when the challenges of low-budget filmmaking are evident, an occasionally wonky sound mix and modest lighting issues being the primary culprits, but for the most part Archer has crafted a solid film with grounded, disciplined performances from both Goldacre and Elesin.
The Journey of Alfred Small is now available for viewing on Youtube or you can simply watch it in its entirety above thsi review.


Making The right choice is critical to your website's achievement, however — so isn't something to be taken lightly. After all, your website's theme will decide the design displayed to your visitors, and your plugins will add the majority of its functionalities.
To help You make an educated choice, I'll take an in-depth look at a few of the top places to purchase WordPress plugins and themes: MyThemeShop. In addition to analyzing MyThemeShop in general, I will also be looking in its most important features, reviewing some of its best products and sharing hints to prospective buyers.
With a Name like MyThemeShop, you'd think the answer would be clear cut. In reality, MyThemeShop occupies a middle ground between a WordPress theme store and a WordPress'club'. However it probably leans more towards being a club.
As we've Touched numerous times during this article, MyThemeShop provides quality, 24/7 support for its clients. It takes place primarily in its support forum, in public, so that users can learn from common problems.
There is a Dedicated department for plugins and themes, also parting between free and premium products. Post your problem about the forum and among those MyThemeShop-employed support staff will respond immediately in no longer than the hour.
The forum Also supports a search function, so you can start looking for existing solutions to a problem — usually the fastest way to discover answers. Inquiries are indicated with a stamp.
On top of The support forum, MyThemeShop has included a collection of 45 video tutorials teaching the basics of WordPress, the way to use the MyThemeShop products, and even how to utilize some popular non-MyThemeShop plugins. These videos are accessible through the Tutorial tab.
And, if You're still not able to fix your issue after posting to the support forum, MyThemeShop also offers email support. Should you need tweaks to your theme, special customisations, website setup, or website migrations, the MyThemeShop service team will be able to assist you out (although these solutions are, as you'd expect, paid).
MyThemeShop Themes were created with usability in mind, and every single theme ships with a market-leading theme options panel from which you can command the theme's settings, import arbitrary content (to have your site looking like the demo you watched when you bought the theme), or dive into its many customisation options.
It's Worth taking a moment to discuss the extent of those customisation options, making the topics versatile.
For a Begin, every theme has support for unlimited colours and the entire catalog of Google net fonts — more than 600. Perhaps more importantly, all themes offer you unlimited background choices: including many different built-in desktop layouts, the aforementioned unlimited colours, and the option to upload a custom background image.
The Topics are pretty. There is built in advertising management, lightweight and fashionable buttons that were social-sharing, and contact form included with each theme. All themes come with support for the entire collection of MyThemeShop shortcodes, allowing you to add eye-catching design elements to your website with ease.
All Themes include a preview to assist you to get an concept of the plan. These previews come in rows of three by default, but, if you'd like a slightly bigger preview, then you can pick rows of 2. There is also a filter which allows you sort the topics by launch date or popularity.
When You've found a theme you like the look of, you could click through to the theme's product page. Here, you are going to have the ability to read more about this theme's major attributes, and you'll get an idea of the subject's popularity — each theme includes a community rating out of five.
Before You purchase a theme, I would strongly suggest spending a couple of minutes researching this demo. You will be able to sample the motif's layouts, try out different customisation choices, and get an overall idea of the way the motif looks and plays.
From Social media to the search engines, Schema is a website tailored for dominating the SERPs — achieved by a carefully constructed, SEO-optimized layout. The theme is also quick, with site speed an important factor. The site uses a stylish-yet-simple layout, also it comes packaged with inspection performance and advertising management. For an SEO-focused theme named Schema, the motif, of course, adds the necessary Schema markup which powers Google rich snippets.
Social Traffic is consistently growing, and whole sites have popped up feeding almost exclusively off traffic that is social. If you are searching to construct a viral societal website, SociallyViral was assembled for you — the motif boasts many different features to Boost social shares and cater to viral traffic. That usually means a site with lots of social buttons, trending post widgets, and also, with one eye on monetization, advanced AdSense optimization.
OnePage supports a stunning full-screen slider over The fold, grabbing visitors' attentions. It's largely a business theme, encouraging dedicated staff, portfolio, customer, testimonials, and pricing segments — all of that look extremely professional and extend stylish parallax effects. The theme looks great when kitted out from its own alternative blogging skin.
PointPro is just another stylish, professional theme, this Time coming in three variations — blog business, and shop. The business template is particularly eye-catching, with a tidy, organized layout complementing lots of pictures — there is an image slider, thumbnails, and gallery performance, too. The motif provides you plenty of flexibility, with unlimited backgrounds, colors that are boundless, and custom sidebars.
You can Look for plugins in precisely the exact same way as topics because plugins change in terms of their capacities, the plugin product pages are the places to search for whatever details you are after.
Each Plugin page has a long list of the plugin's features, providing you with a very clear indication of what it could (or can't) do. You'll also observe an individual evaluation, plus there's a demo for every plugin so that you can see every one in action.
Because There are fewer plugins compared to themes, let us run down the best three MyThemeShop WordPress plugins. I provide a succinct overview of what each plugin can do.
WP Mega Menus adds beautiful menus into your website. The menus that are mega arrive loaded with options, and permit you to add thumbnail pictures. These menus are a stunning and notable design feature for your site, plus they make it more simple to navigate.
WP Subscribe Pro lets you display stylish popups and Subscription boxes to grow your list. This plugin boasts plenty of design choices and support for departure intent technology. You could also integrate WP Subscribe Pro with the most popular email marketing autoresponder services, including MailChimp AWeber and, needless to say.
MyThemeShop Functions a pricing structure — any theme will set you back a predetermined $59, with plugins. This is a fairly typical price for themes and plugins, and on a par with major marketplaces like CodeCanyon and ThemeForest.
Should you Need access to its subject club, an membership account costs $167 annually. You'll get access to customer support and 20 plugins, in addition to most of 99 themes and complete access to Photoshop PSDs.
Membership Is pricier than that of some of the other motif clubs, like ElegantThemes (from $59 a year), TeslaThemes (from $59 a year), also ThemeIsle (from $99 a year), but more reasonably priced than the likes of WooThemes (from $399 annually — update — 16th July: WooThemes.com is currently under the umbrella of WooCommerce.com, with their themes available at https://woocommerce.com/product-category/themes/), WPMU Dev (from $294 a year), and StudioPress (from $499 a year).
In General, MyThemeShop is certainly among the WordPress clubs round — it delivers an impressive range of themes that are famous for their quality. Throw in an outstanding choice of plugins and service, and it is not tough to see over 300,000 clients have taken the plunge and become MyThemeShop customers.
Should you Construct a lot of websites — maybe as an independent developer or a agency — then the club membership is sure to be the most appealing option. This package will provide you access to nearly a hundred topics to impress your clients each one comes loaded with customisation options so it is possible to tailor a website.

The Xiaomi Redmi 3S (and Redmi 3S Prime) propelled in India in August a year ago, and the organization asserts that they are the most astounding offering cell phones in the online portion, having sold four million units in only nine months. In spite of this, the all-new Xiaomi Redmi 4 will soon supplant the famous Redmi 3S (and Redmi 3S Prime).
Xiaomi has so far observed a series of victories with its Redmi extend, with most models discovering place in our intermittent arrangements of the best spending telephones. This new Redmi model won't just need to go up against the opposition, additionally experience its ancestor from multiple points of view, and it surely appears like a change with regards to details. How about we see if the new Redmi 4 is justified regardless of your time and cash.
At the point when the Redmi 4 touched base at our office surprisingly, we mixed up it for a "Lite" or littler variation of the Redmi Note 4. You can see a lot of outline likenesses between the two. Jai Mani, Lead Product Manager at Xiaomi revealed to Gadgets 360 at a pre-dispatch instructions that the Redmi 4's looks are intentionally more in a state of harmony with the greater Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (Review). The all-metal back of the Redmi 4 is cleaned and makes this telephone look more premium than its antecedent. Be that as it may, it makes the telephone marginally elusive, and we almost dropped it several times while attempting to take photographs amid the survey time frame.
There has not been much change to the fundamental Redmi recipe. Much like the Redmi 3S, the Redmi 4 includes a 5-inch screen. The new model, be that as it may, is marginally thicker at 8.65mm and heavier at 150 grams. The Redmi 3S measured 8.5mm and weighed at 144 grams. Generally speaking the expansion in thickness or weight doesn't change much for the Redmi 4 as the telephone is still very usable with only one hand, and in actuality fits preferred in the hand over the active model.
We had no issue achieving the unique mark sensor whenever. The telephone has just a single Mi logo on the back, but at the same time there's a "Planned by Xiaomi/Assembled in India" articulation emblazoned in little letters. We like the consideration detail, for example, a defensive ring around the camera focal point.
The power and volume catches are on the privilege, and are effectively available when utilizing the telephone with only one hand. There is a Micro-USB port for charging and information exchanges on the base, with grilles on either side, however just a single of them is really a speaker. The 3.5mm sound attachment and an Infrared producer can be found on the top.
The route catches are set directly beneath the screen however they aren't illuminated, which implies finding them out of the loop is tough.The warning LED is directly underneath the Home catch and is sufficiently splendid to ready clients about approaching notices. Much like other Redmi cell phones, the new Redmi 4 additionally has a half and half double SIM plate, which implies that you should choose whether to utilize two SIM cards or one SIM alongside a microSD card. The Redmi 4 will be accessible in Champagne Gold and Matte Black, and we got the last for the survey.
You get standard arrangement of records, an information link, a power connector, and a SIM ejector instrument alongside the telephone itself in the retail box.
The Xiaomi Redmi 4 includes a 5-inch HD (720x1280) IPS show with 2.5D bended edge glass. This is by all accounts the first occasion when that Xiaomi is utilizing 2.5D glass on a Redmi cell phone evaluated beneath Rs. 10,000. There's a non-removable 4100mAh battery which is an indistinguishable limit from the Redmi 3S's battery, and is being advanced as one of this present telephone's highlights. The telephone is controlled by an octa-center Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 processor timed at 1.4GHz. There are three variations of the Redmi 4: one with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of capacity; one with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of capacity; lastly 4GB of RAM with 64GB of capacity. Our audit unit had 3GB of RAM and 32GB of capacity. The Redmi 4 underpins expandable capacity utilizing a microSD card (up to 128GB).
You get a 13-megapixel raise camera with f/2.0 opening, PDAF, and a LED streak. There's likewise a 5-megapixel front camera with f/2.2 gap. The new Redmi 4 will bolster 4G and VoLTE alongside other availability alternatives. At the point when two SIM cards are utilized, just the essential one will permit 4G calls and information while the optional SIM falls back to 2G calls as it were.
The telephone keeps running on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, with Xiaomi's MIUI 8.2 skin. This is a steady form which is indistinguishable to what we saw on the Redmi Note 4 and Redmi 4A. This implies the Redmi 4 has a considerable measure of programming components that we have as of now observed, including Dual Apps, which gives you a chance to make a moment occurrence of any application and backings Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, and then some. The Quick Ball highlight gives clients a chance to dole out easy routes for elements. One-gave mode recoils the show to one corner of the screen so that everything's less demanding to reach. The telephone likewise gets a looking over screenshot highlight that will give you a chance to take screenshot of a whole Web page. Youngster Mode gives clients a chance to bolt applications, and Second Space makes a different profile to help clients oversee business and individual information on a similar gadget.
This adaptation of MIUI looks cleaner and more cleaned than past forms. You can read about the product in more detail in our surveys of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and Xiaomi Redmi 4A.
With regards to past Redmi telephones, the Redmi 4 additionally packs loads of preinstalled applications, for example, Music, Mi Picks, Mi Community, News, Security, Notes, Recorder, and Weather. The Themes application gives clients a chance to choose topics, backdrops, ringtones, and textual styles from a store. There's additionally a devoted Mi Store application on the gadget through which clients can purchase Xiaomi items and extras. We trust that the MIUI interface could end up plainly lighter with the evacuation of some of this bloatware, yet not every one of them can be erased and they take up profitable storage room on the gadget. There are likewise some preinstalled outsider applications including Amazon, PhonePe Wallet, Flipkart, Facebook, and SwiftKey.
Clients will get up to 5GB of free Mi Cloud stockpiling when they sign in with a Mi record, which is extra to the 15GB of free distributed storage that is offered by Google with each Gmail sign-in.
We were frustrated to see that the Redmi 4 does not run Android 7.0 Nougat, nor did it bolster Google Assistant at the season of audit. On long-squeezing the home catch, the Now on Tap include for setting based quests is activated. Xiaomi says that the Redmi 4 will accepting a refresh to Nougat, and we may get Google Assistant before that, however no course of events has been guaranteed by the organization.
The 13-megapixel raise camera is speedy at centering because of the stage discovery self-adjust include. The camera application additionally has a face acknowledgment include that can prove to be useful. Contrasted with the Redmi 3S Prime, we found that self-adjust on the Redmi 4 was somewhat speedier. Camera tests were point by point and sharp, with hues that were energetic and really popped. Scenes had exact hues generally and additionally sensible detail. Large scale or close-up shots had a slight fog when seen full-measure on a desktop screen, however the HDR mode served to some degree.
Sadly, turning HDR mode on made picture catching and preparing truly moderate, and this is one of our greatest protestations with the gadget. With HDR on, clients should be unfaltering for a few moments to get a decent shot, or else photographs turned out looking horrendous.
The back camera tends to catch a considerable measure of clamor when there is no immediate light source. Some camera test shots taken oblivious were ineffectively characterized and had excessively movement obscure. During the evening, the Redmi 4 figured out how to take great photographs just when we were near the subject under a light source, for example, a streetlamp.

my turn | Gary Palmer
As elections go, this next one is about as hard to figure as they get. Elections are supposed to be about something ... the economy, taxes, education or national defense ó something that will motivate voters to go to the polls. But for this election, there seems to be no single theme.
If you're a Republican, you are hoping that the war against terrorism or taking down Saddam Hussein will motivate voters to cast their ballot for your team. If you're a Democrat, you are hoping that it is the economy or corporate corruption that will drive voters to the polls to support your candidates.
But apparently citizens are not all that fired up about anything or anybody, which could mean a low voter turnout. If that is true, it will mean some sweeping victories for the Democrats on Nov. 5.
In the past, low voter turnout usually benefited conservative candidates. But the dynamic has changed because of a change in strategy among some of the big-money special interest groups. Rather than spending every penny they can scrape up on political advertising, instead these groups are pouring millions of dollars into "get-out-the-vote" efforts.
A different meaning
"Getting out the vote" has a different meaning than it used to. In recent years getting out the vote included everything from making phone calls to voters to preparing pre-marked ballots to arranging for rental vans and buses to pick people up and take them to the polls. Efforts such as these are being sponsored by big-money unions and other liberal special interests and are predominantly targeted toward minorities and the elderly.
Already this year, groups such as People for the American Way have teamed up with the NAACP in Florida and with the League of United Latin American Citizens in California to register and mobilize voters for the primaries and this fall's elections. In Florida, PFAW implemented its "Arrive With Five" campaign to encourage African-American college students and low-income individuals to bring five friends along when they go to the polls. This same strategy in the 2000 elections resulted in a record turnout among African-Americans that almost gave Al Gore the victory in Florida. In addition, PFAW has/simplemented a plan through its African-American Ministers Leadership Council challenging black churches to "get all souls to the polls."
Disturbing aspect
The most interesting, and frankly disturbing, aspect of the effort to get out the vote among African-Americans is that in the majority of races many black voters are being encouraged to vote for candidates that hold positions opposite of their own.
For instance, PFAW is a left-wing group that opposes school prayer and public display of the Ten Commandments and that supports abortion and homosexual rights. PFAW also has been among the liberal groups that have opposed requiring children to say the Pledge of Allegiance because it includes the words "under God" and that has expressed concern about President Bush's references to his faith as a Christian. These are positions that are contrary to those of millions of African-Americans.
Moreover, polls consistently show that more than 60 percent of African-Americans support school voucher programs in which low-income parents can choose to use a designated amount of public money to place their children in private school. Although these vouchers would allow black parents to get their children out of unsafe and failing schools, the unions and PFAW have vigorously opposed every voucher program including the Cleveland program that was ultimately upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.
In fact, PFAW was co-counsel for those opposing the Cleveland school voucher program and in a court case against the Florida voucher program that succeeded in shutting the program down. And last December, PFAW issued a special report attacking the Black Alliance for Education Options, a group that had sponsored ads promoting school choice.
Although some of their methods are certainly immoral and very possibly illegal, you have to admire the commitment of liberal groups such as PFAW that are willing to put their money where their ideology is. And they have plenty of money. According to the Capitol Research Center in Washington, D.C., PFAW has more than $12.5 million at its disposal that it has received from Hollywood liberals such as Alec Baldwin and Kathleen Turner along with millions from huge left-wing foundations.
Liberal groups such as PFAW are motivated to get involved in elections because they know that regardless of the issues, every election has one central themeógaining control. Given that about half of the eligible voters, including five to six million professing Christians, stay away from the polls each election, with every election PFAW gets closer to its goal.

View Full Version : Connors outfit,items and weapons.
Could you elaborate? I'm not quite sure what you mean..
I think he means that on the steelbook that you can get, every weapon, item etc. is on connor?
While that is a valid interpretation, we may never know the author's true intent because structuralism is DEAD!!! Also, poor grammar.
That's because the steelbook drawn by Alex Ross Is In a comic book style.
It's not any upgraded armor or armory.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure we'll unlock new weapons and outfits as we progress.
Just like any AC game, right?..
