Wherever air infiltration occurs, there is a corresponding exfiltration somewhere else in the building. During the summer, infiltration can bring humid, outdoor air into buildings. In winter, exfiltration can result in moist indoor air moving into cold wall cavities and may result in condensation and ultimately mould and/or rot, which could result in serious lasting damage to the property.
If you employ our services from the start of the project, we will send out our air tightness checklist to help you prepare for the air testing. We also over an air tightness design and site survey service, to ensure the building envelope or the defined air leakage line is being constructed properly, we can then highlight any potential air leakage paths so they can be sealed prior to the air tightness test.


Mr. Frank Schrodt, General Manager of Kesseböhmer China as well as Director of Sales and Marketing in Asia Pacific, was here to conduct a 4-day long comprehensive training to Häfele Malaysia team. Thorough understanding of Kesseböhmer brand and marketing strategy was passed down during the event. Besides, the concept behind clever storage, product training and role play were modules covered and accomplished throughout.

Abilene Slams Loss on Clay
Thurman Geissinger , Staff Writer
On Tuesday October 1st, The Abilene Cowgirls volleyball team faced off at home against NCKL rival Clay Center. Going into the game the team was still propelled by the momentum brought on by the previous sweep against Chapman the Thursday before.
The game was played in two sets per match, so four games would be played by the Cowgirls.
In the first set, the Cowgirls took a defending lead over the Tigers right off the bat. Eventually, the team would go to win the first set 25-20. The second set victory margin would come to be much more narrow with a 25-23 final score.
Ron Preston, reflector-chronicle.
Moreover, the first set of the second match would start out dominant for the Cowgirls, until Mother Nature became upset. After a 3-1 lead by the Cowgirls, there was an announcement that everyone needed to get to the shelters due to the tornado warning being put out in Dickinson County.
After nearly 20 minutes of aniticipation, the game was called back to action. With this, Clay didn't waste time in getting back to the game, going on a four point rally to bring the score to 5-3. After going back and forth for a short time with the scores never being above two, Chesney Sprinkle, sr., gave the power shot that put the tides in motion.
Now with a score of 12-8, the Cowgirls were able to gain slight momentum for a short time. The momentum of the Cowgirls was short lived however, Clay Center stayed in and tied the score at 17. Soon afterward, the game flow was back to where it started. The score was going back and forth to the point where Abilene led over Clay 24-22. Then came the moment that would decide the game, the serve by Clay Center was scuffed and drilled into the net, giving the Cowgirls the win in the first set.
Eventually the second set was called to action. The Cowgirls took out to a quick lead, only to have it tied once again by the Tigers. Soon afterward, Clay Center took a two point lead. With the desire to win, and a couple of kills by Jenna Hayes, soph., and Beth Holmes, sr., the Cowgirls were able to take the lead they once had. After a couple of quick rallies, it was Beth Holmes who sealed the deal for the Cowgirls.
Ron Preston, reflector-chronicle
"We weren't playing our best volleyball, but we worked together and were able to beat them in both games. We just kept fighting and didn't feel like giving up." said Jenna Hayes about the play of the Cowgirls
When asked what could've been improved, Emma Wildman had this to say, "We always do a good job of fighting until the end. However, we need to work on keeping our urgency and energy throughout the game."

Dominique Franco of Park Ridge was on a mission to save the world.
The senior University of Rhode Island nursing major was on track to a career in pediatric oncology. At 17, she launched a fundraiser that collected toys and hundreds of dollars for pediatric cancer patients.
Franco's mission was tragically cut short on Saturday, when she died at 21 years old.
"The girl was out to save the world and make a difference," her mom Gina Franco told The Providence Journal, "and she made a difference in so many people's lives every day."
President of the university's Zeta Tau Alpha sorority, Franco was described by her sisters as an exemplary leader.
"She was friendly, funny and outgoing, lighting up every room she entered," the organization said in an Instagram post. "The world lost a truly incredible person and she will be extremely missed."
"She was such a positive influence, a wonderful friend & selfless leader," Raechel Bennett Biggs wrote on social media. "I know she will be deeply missed."
"My daughter Jordyn spoke so highly of Dominique and her ability to make everyone feel special and make them feel they were a part of something great," Kristina DeNegre said.
"I will never understand why things like this happen to such beautiful souls. My heart breaks for her family and her friends."
Visitation will be Feb. 21 from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Our Lady Mother of the Church in Woodcliff Lake. A Funeral Mass celebrating Dominique's life will be 10:30 a.m. at the church on Friday, Feb. 22.
Donations can be made in Dominique's memory to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.


"What would make working with a nutritionist irresistible?"
I really want to know your thoughts! You can tell me the first thing that springs to your mind, or many things. I.e. shorter consultations / easy to follow plans / no mention of kale / info to be emailed / sessions to be held at the beach - ANYTHING you think would make working with a nutritionist irresistible to YOU.
Let's 'Eat To Win' in person in Newcastle!
But yes, the running has been immense lately! Definitely back on track: last week featured a mixture of intervals, a regular/cruisy run, some hill repeats, a trail run (soooo good!) and a long run around town. Yes, the usual strength-training was had, as well as some NEW cross-training: in the form of riding a pedicab around town on Saturday night!! This was so much fun. Very hard work at times (think of it as a 6-7 hour RPM or spin class!) but so worth it for the enjoyment factor and of meeting so many fun and friendly Novocastrians out and about too. Quite novel for me to be out that late (i.e. after 9pm, lol) these days too, but goes to show: we CAN do anything we set our minds to. Watch this space, and watch the streets for the pedicabs too, if you're local! Come for a ride with me and help me 'train'.
So, onwards with UTA training for May. Having run only a couple of trail runs lately, I am aware that I definitely need to up my game in this area. But as always: progress, not perfection, and one step at a time.
In other news: the amazing Lyn (my mum!) will be touching down to these shores in just a couple of weeks time! Can't. Wait. I wish they would hurry up and invent muuuuch quicker plane travel already. England seems so far away at times. Roll on April 1st for a few excellent reasons then!!


April showers bring spring flowers and a Jacksonville Roadsters Club run to the Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse and Museum at Ponce Inlet Saturday, April 30. At 175 feet, the lighthouse is the tallest in Florida and one of the tallest in the country. The current structure located on the north side of the inlet was completed in 1887. The Light Station was functional up until 1970 when the Coast Guard abandoned it to establish a new light at the Coast Guard Station on the south side of the inlet. In 1972, the property was deeded to the Town of Ponce Inlet and the Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse Preservation Association was founded. In the same year, the Light Station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as one of only a few 19th Century Light Stations to have all its original buildings still intact. The lighthouse and three keepers' dwellings have been restored and open to the public. The cost is $6.95 per person. Price includes tour of the buildings and lighthouse, a video theater of the Light Station history and a gift shop. Lunch is planned at the Hidden Treasure Rum Bar and Grill at 11:00am across the street from the Light Station. We will meet at 10:00 am in the BJ's Wholesale Club parking lot located at 1800 Dunlawton Avenue, Port Orange. We will depart BJ's parking lot promptly at 10:15 am. For those coming on Interstate 95, get off at Exit 256 (FL-241), going East for a short distance, you will see a Golden Corral, CVS Pharmacy and Moe's Southwest Grill on your right. The entrance to BJ's is next to Moe's, make a right into the wholesale club's parking lot. The Kappas will be waiting. Please RSVP Maria Moore by Thursday, April 28. Maria's E-mail address is [email protected] or telephone (386) 597-4794.

Skanska to construct new phases of logistics center in Sipoo, Finland, for EUR 74 M, about SEK 660 M
6/27/2014 8:00 AM CET
Skanska has, in joint venture with Lemminkäinen, signed a contract with S Group to construct the last three phases of a new logistics center for daily consumer goods in Sipoo, Finland. Skanska and Lemminkäinen have equal shares in the joint venture company Freeway. The total contract value is approximately EUR 148 M, about SEK 1.3 billion. Skanska's share is EUR 74 M, about SEK 660 M, which will be included in order bookings for Skanska Finland in the second quarter 2014.
The logistics center is currently one of the largest construction projects in Finland. It will have a surface area of about 189,000 square meters and a capacity of around 3,400,000 cubic meters. Phases III and IV cover the storage facilities for refrigerated foods and phase V the facilities for frozen foods.
Construction of the logistics center began in June 2013, and will be completed 2018.
Skanska Finland is one of the leading construction companies in Finland. The company is active in building construction, residential and commercial premises, as well as civil engineering projects.

The Budget 2021
Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak is part of a Government that has been known to give off mixed messages and today's Budget was a further example of that – portraying himself as a man of the people despite prepping for Budget day in £95 sliders.
It is therefore a challenge to sincerely believe the Chancellor's claims today's Budget will help those at the bottom of society. Yes, the eight per cent reduction in the taper level for Universal Credit was a genuine rabbit out of the hat (going even further than the 3 per cent cut that had been doing the rounds last minute on Twitter), but when it follows a reduction worth £20 a week to struggling families amid a cost of living crisis, is it simply a sticking plaster on a much more fundamental wound?
The Government is committed to levelling up as a strategy for healing a fractured society and promoting greater regional equality, and today saw some positive steps to bolster that vision. Chief among them was the promise of £11.5bn worth of investment to fund 180,000 new affordable homes and a further £1.8bn for the regeneration of brownfield sites – a policy likely motivated by the Government's crushing by-election defeat in Chesham and Amersham earlier this year. Industry has claimed the Government needs to move away from CGI housing and towards getting the affordable homes built that people need and today's announcements should help that.
That levelling up would not just be reserved for English regions or traditional Conservative strongholds was a message the Chancellor was keen to impress upon his audience today. Though not all 'new money' – a common theme throughout today's Budget – the £5.7bn for London-style transport settlements for regional hubs is another welcome boost and statement of intent. It is crucial, however, that this supplements existing funding for intercity transport infrastructure isn't a sweetener to soften the blow if (or when) HS2 and Northern Power House Rail fall by the wayside.
The Chancellor also claimed to be 'levelling up the Labour front bench' as he announced the recipients of the first round of the Levelling Up Fund – a clear attempt to try and dispel previous accusations such schemes were simply a vehicle for pork barrel politics. There were also frequent references to increases in funding for all of the devolved institutions as the Chancellor stressed the Union was much more than a transactional arrangement.
For high streets that have taken a kicking during the pandemic, the reform and cutting of business rates is unlikely to provide bricks and mortar stores with a competitive edge over their online counterparts, but it does give hope that they may live to fight another day.
Away from levelling up, the Chancellor failed to deliver on widespread expectations of a green Budget with net zero at its core. It took over 20 minutes for him to first mention net zero, and with COP26 less than a week away green campaigners will have been horrified by his slashing of air passenger duty on internal flights. Though he can point to increases in duty on long haul flights, the reaction to the Prime Minister's trip to this summer's G7 conference was a warning that now was not the time to be making such pledges.
Recent announcements promoting heat pump grants have also been seen as a positive step on the road to decarbonising Britain's housing stock, but the lack of funding for a coherent retrofitting policy is a significant omission that will almost certainly encourage more protests.
Britain's green spaces also need significant care and attention, but it's unclear if the Chancellor is committed to addressing this despite their value to society being highlighted during the pandemic. Though £200m for new pitches might help football come home, the £9m to be invested in 'pocket parks' is frankly little more than pocket money for the Government and will leave many disappointed.
This was a confused speech from the Chancellor today. It was a Budget where the Chancellor gave back to those at the bottom of society with one hand what he had effectively taken away less than a month ago. Where, not half an hour after Boris Johnson spent the majority of PMQs defending the Government's record on climate change, air passenger duty was reduced and fuel duty was frozen for the 12th consecutive year. And where one of the loudest cheers greeted the news that per pupil funding for schools would return to 2010 levels.
For a Budget where build up has drawn controversy, the Government offered little in the way of substance today in comparison to previous Budgets, with old promises reaffirmed and repeated. This may suit the levelling up agenda which is undoubtedly setting forth on a strong trail, but if climate change is to be tackled then more needs to be done and fast.

'Soul Calibur II' "Nightmare" 20-Inch Statue Now Available For Pre-Order
Consumed by the very blade he wields, Soul Calibur's antagonist Nightmare is getting a new statue produced by First4Figures.
This year marks the 20th Anniversary of Bandai Namco's revolutionary "Soul" fighting game franchise. What originally began as 1996's Soul Edge for arcades and the original PlayStation the following year, the 3D fighter was one of the first to feature weapon-based combat, with each fighter's blade of choice having its own unique properties. The admittedly convoluted "tale of souls and swords eternally retold" spawned five core titles, a free-to-play Sony-exclusive game, and a hack-and-slash spin-off for the Nintendo Wii.
Though Soul Calibur's weapon-based combat is now common practice within the Fighter genre, the series also popularized the concept of "Guest Characters"; not to be confused with a cross-over fighting game (i.e. Marvel VS Capcom, The King of Fighters, Super Smash Bros.), Soul Calibur games from SCII and beyond featured a minimum of one character from another franchise. Past Guest Characters have included Link (The Legend of Zelda), Heihachi Mishima (Tekken), Spawn, Ezio Auditore (Assassin's Creed II trilogy), Starkiller/The Apprentice (Star Wars: The Force Unleashed), KOS-MOS (Xenosaga), Lloyd Irving (Tales of Symphonia)and Darth Vader and Yoda of Star Wars fame.
The Guest Characters are just some of Soul Calibur's iconic characters to wage war over the past 20 years, but very few are as symbolic as the series antagonist, Nightmare. What was once the knight Siegfried Schtauffen, Siegfried became the hellish warrior Nightmare upon wielding the cursed Soul Edge, the dark counterpart to the sword of light magic Soul Calibur. Nightmare acts as both a host to the cursed sword and the spirit Inferno, and later the Soul Edge incarnate through his discarded armor.
Premium-level collectible manufacturer First4Figures recently revealed their own take on Soul Calibur's iconic villain, preserved as an upcoming collectible statue. Standing at a massive 55cm/22in, First4's Nightmare statue depicts the hellish character as seen in Soul Calibur II. Each statue is hand-painted, hand-numbered and shipped with a First4Figures "Certificate of Authenticity", enabling the owner to purchase another First4 Soul Calibur collectible with the same number. A limited Exclusive Edition is also available for pre-order, featuring LEDs in Nighmare's helmet and a custom base inspired by the volcanic final stage of Soul Calibur II.
The Soul Calibur II Nightmare statue from First4Figures can be pre-ordered for $414.99; the Exclusive Edition variant is listed at $474.99. Units are expected to begin shipping in Q3 2017.

Dartmouth is fully committed to export control compliance. Export Controls are a complex set of Federal laws and regulations that govern how physical items, technology, information and data may be exported from the United States or shared with foreign persons within the United States. Export controls are designed to protect U.S. national security, to further U.S. foreign policy goals, and to maintain U.S. economic competitiveness.
Research and other activities at Dartmouth may be subject to export controls, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), implemented by the U.S. Department of State, and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), implemented by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC), which is part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, is responsible for administering and enforcing economic and trade sanctions against certain nations, entities, and individuals. Export controls may apply to research activities on campus, to the temporary export of controlled Dartmouth owned equipment including laptop computers containing controlled software or technical data, and to the shipment of research materials to foreign collaborators. Failure to comply with export controls can result in severe consequences for Dartmouth as well as the individual researchers, including fines of up to $1 million per violation, up to 20 years imprisonment, and debarment from future exporting activities.
Dartmouth faculty, staff, and students may encounter these laws when engaging in several activities (examples not meant to include all activities):
Hand carrying items that export controlled outside of the US
Receiving equipment from a vendor that is restricted
Shipping chemical or biological materials
Receiving materials from another institution
Temporary Export of Equipment
It is important to note that most information and software that Dartmouth develops, shares or receives from colleagues or other is not export controlled.
Dartmouth faculty should become familiar with export control rules. A number of resources are available at Dartmouth to assist with Export Control compliance. OSP's website provides comprehensive information on export control regulations, definitions and applicability. It includes information on what kind of research may be associated with exports controls and how to go about an export control license if necessary. A decision tree tool assists researchers in making the determination whether their project may be export controlled or may require additional analysis.
Fundamental Research Exemption:
Even if an item appears on one of the U.S. government's lists of controlled technologies, generally there is an exclusion for fundamental research. "Fundamental research" means basic and applied research in science and engineering, the results of which ordinarily are published and shared broadly within the scientific community.

Q: Mapbox: Filtering out markers in a Leaflet Omnivore KML layer I am exporting Google Directions routes as KML and displaying them on a Mapbox map by reading them with Omnivore and adding them to the map,
The Google KML stores each route as two Places (the start and end points) and one LineString (the route). In Mapbox I would like to show only the routes, that is to filter out the markers somehow. I'm displaying markers out of my own database and the Google markers clutter it up.
Here is my code. I change the styling of the LineStrings just to show that I can, but do not know what magic call(s) to make to not display the Points.
Thanks.
runLayer = omnivore.kml('data/xxxx.kml')
  .on('ready', function() {
    var llBnds = runLayer.getBounds();
    map.fitBounds(llBnds);

    this.eachLayer(function (layer) {

      if (layer.feature.geometry.type == 'LineString') {
        layer.setStyle({
          color: '#4E3508',
          weight: 4
        });
      }

      if (layer.feature.geometry.type == 'Point') {
        //
        // Do something useful here to not display these items!!
        //
      }
    });
  })
  .addTo(map);

A: Welcome to SO!
Many possible solutions:

*

*Most straight forward from the code you provided, just use the removeLayer method on your runLayer Layer Group when you get a 'Point' feature.

*Cleaner solution would be to filter out those features before they are even converted into Leaflet layers, through a custom GeoJSON Layer Group passed as 3rd argument of omnivore.kml, with a specified filter option:
var customLayer = L.geoJSON(null, {
  filter: function(geoJsonFeature) {
    // my custom filter function: do not display Point type features.
    return geoJsonFeature.geometry.type !== 'Point';
  }
}).addTo(map);

var runLayer = omnivore.kml('data/xxxx.kml', null, customLayer);

You can also use the style and/or onEachFeature options on customLayer to directly apply your desired style on your LineString.

Q: Pass tagTemplate as command line argument - Gradle Release Plugin I have to create builds depending on environment and tag/push to nexus. Currently, I have tagTemplate = 'release-${version}' in my release settings. The first part of the tagTemplate (release) is what we're using in our pipeline to fire off the builds, which require slightly different args for each.
I need to be able to pass in an argument that will replace 'release' with some other build type.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to just pass in what goes in the 'release' part of the template, so the setting would look like:
tagTemplate = '${tagPrefix}-${version}'

Then I'd be able to run the command:
gradle release -PtagPrefix='build1'

I've tried passing it in like this:
gradle release -PtagTemplate='build1-${version}'
gradle release -Prelease.tagTemplate='build1-${version}'
gradle release -Pproject.release.tagTemplate='build1-${version}'

None of these work.

A: gradle release -PtagPrefix would be available via roject.findProperty('tagPrefix').
I'm not sure if you can use template strings for the property args as it depends when they are evaluated.
I would recommend either
release {
    def tagPrefix = project.findProperty('tagPrefix') != null ? project.findProperty('tagPrefix') : 'default'
    tagTemplate = '${tagPrefix}-${version}'
}


You are here: Home / Food / When Do You Really Need More?
I over-analyze, and then go with my gut, because 1) I suspect I'm over-analyzing, and 2) most reviewers (and their reviews) have inherent biases, predicated on their experiences and preferences. Sometimes I can see the bias, but most times, I can't. I've learned that, just like our other relationships, what we need in machines are not easily quantified and put in the right slots.
I've been known to make big spreadsheets, weigh pros and cons, and assign weight to those pros and cons. Yeah, I way over-analyze.
I'm an over-analyser too, and I've never regretted it. I might spend more, but I end up getting exactly what I want.
I'll do some research but I am gut person with most purchases.

Kids love carousels. The circling painted ponies are fine childhood entertainment. But adding a carousel to your website is a serious mistake that will cost you customers and revenue.
How can we say this so definitively? After conducting hundreds of A/B tests on dozens of websites, we've never seen a carousel win a test. The worst offenders are those that auto-rotate rapidly, making the site visitor dizzy before they've had a chance to grasp your message.
Why do home page carousels fail?
They look like ads, so people tend to skip them.
People browse the web seeking information, and they scan pages. The web isn't a passive medium like TV; users want to decide what they read.
Auto-rotating carousels create a loss of control, which makes site visitors much more likely to leave.
Worse, rotating carousels create frustration in your users, so their first feeling toward your site and business is one of irritation. Probably not the effect you were trying to accomplish.
When people come to your home page, they spend just a few seconds scanning it to see if it's what they want. If it passes this initial test, they'll scroll down the page, not wait for the carousel to auto-rotate.
"How else will they find the info on slide 2?" Few people will actually see slide 2, so the crucial information needs to be on slide 1. Typically you can get a 5-10% revenue increase by making the home page the first slide of the carousel.
"Our CEO wanted the information on slide 2 on the home page, and our creative agency wanted the information on slide 3 on the home page, and our VP Product Marketing wanted the info on slide 4 on the home page, etc." Revenue is the bottom line. Cro Metrics can help various team members work together to come up with a site that optimizes for revenue at every stage of the funnel.
If the urge to ride the adult version of painted ponies is inescapable, Nielsen-Norman group provides some good usability guidelines. However, the carousels they describe are NOT generally used on the home page.
If you already have a carousel on your home page, Cro Metrics can help you set up a testing program to systematically increase your revenues. We've found that when there is a carousel on the home page, we can always get more revenue for our client by using static content. And if your friend, colleague or client has a carousel on their home page, forward this article to them as a favor — it's one of the highest ROI actions they can take!

From drinking cocktails in St. Leeds ;) to champagne in St. Tropez... Well what a reality check!
So the time has come, two big holidays & the big 21 whilst in St. Tropez & what a place to be able to celebrate with my delightful family! We didn't have a great start to the trip staying overnight at the Travelodge in Leeds/Bradford - what a nightmare that was! But anyway it was onto Nice, we were flying at 6am; now if anyone knows me well enough I am not a morning person! So it was off to the bar in the airport, now usually I would have a sausage sandwich or a croissant & a diet Coke! Not now I have that MC&L trained mind. Porridge & blueberries it was with a bottle of water & it kept me full throughout my journey on the plane! Perfect! So the family met me & grandma at the airport & we headed to our destination - St. Tropez! What a beautiful place but I still felt underdressed with my blazer on & heels but off they soon came & I jumped into my MC&L bikini! So me & grandma stayed in a luxury villa which was lovely & we had the facility to cook ourselves, so mum had brought my protein powder with her as they came over in the car, breakfast was sorted each morning with blueberries, ideal! Lunch was brilliant, the fresh meat in France is amazing just like the fresh bread (which I didn't touch till my birthday may I add) but with an amazing cold salad it was perfect as it was 35 degrees, we also ate well on an evening having meat & green vegetables so MC&L really can go on holiday with you!
Next stop... Monte Carlo, well if I win the lottery I will be buying a boat. Goodness me! I did hint on my 21st for one but... that didn't happen! It was a lovely place, we managed to have lunch at Cafe de Paris I had a fresh tomato soup & water again lovely & healthy, & it was back to the villa for dinner so there was no issue with clean food! Staying with my grandma has been hilarious! I have done my workouts every day & the first day I did them in the villa, well burpees as we all know make a racket not only jumping on the floor but your mouth also goes! Well I have never seen an 80 year old run so quick, she thought I had fallen, soon to say I was in the gym every other day working out! So as I write this it is mine & my beautiful twins BIG 21! & what an amazing day! Had champagne & croissants for breakfast, opened presents, ate my favourite sweets, had some birthday cake, had a cocktail but a lovely clean meal having prawn with brown rice & green beans, delicious, but to be fair Jo & Fern gave me a day off ;)! Thanks girls! I also showed true dedication & hit the gym this afternoon! So after being spoilt rotten by family & friends it's onto St. Tropez tomorrow for the day & the boats! I am like a child so excited! Then we fly home Friday evening! Then the next stop for me is Ibiza! Complete different holiday celebrating my 21st with the girls! Lots of drinking, dancing, partying for sure!!
Now the best thing with MC&L is that's you can still come away & relax & holiday & stay super clean & find 20 minutes a day to work out! The programme really does train your mind to that way of life!
Walking round the pool for me has been a breeze, the aqua fit lady on the morning of my birthday actually commented on my well-toned stomach & arms! Which was an amazing birthday present in itself! So my tip for this week is don't over indulge & regret it when you get back from your holiday, eat your usual fresh clean food & water, it's brilliant for your appetite when in the warm climates it cools your body & relaxes you without making you feel bloated!
So if you are reading this & want to get that quick boost to your bikini body the next 10 day detox starts on Monday. It's fantastic it really is! It cleansed my skin mostly & wiped out my spots! I also felt fresh on it, some amazing recipe ideas, lots of lovely ways to eat healthy, stay full & lose weight & the support from Jo & Fern is brilliant! So what are you waiting for? Have a look around the website for the detox programmes & any questions just drop the girls an email they will soon get back to you!
Finally I have posted a picture in my MC&L bikini the girls bought me for Ibiza & I have to say it felt amazing! I have had two people by the pool ask me what it was, one German & one French & I think I burnt 2lbs from all the energy I put in trying to explain!

MTN President's Cup On July 1
The 2009 MTN President�s Cup comes off on the scheduled 1st July, 2009 with supporters of both clubs billed to battle on the day upbeat about a victory. In various interviews with Myjoyonline.com, supporters of Accra Hearts of Oak maintained the Phobians are up to run chewy Sekondi Eleven Wise. �Victory is already ours,� Nii Quartey, a Phobian fan said. But supporters of Eleven Wise say they are unfazed by the threats of their opponents. Supporters of the Sekondi-based club believe they surely would carry the day. This year�s cup comes with some interesting fixtures which will see ex-footballers meeting Members of Parliament (MPs); the Actors� Guild meeting GHALCA; and the Media clashing with MUSIGA. The squad for the ex-footballers includes the popular Alhaji Polo, Alhaji Ibrahim Sunday and Sammy Kuffour. The Premier League Board of the Ghana Football Association says it has secured the biggest sponsorship so far to make the game worthwhile. Main sponsors of the event: MTN, Voltic Mineral Water, OMP and Metro Mass Transport, are up with attractive packages all designed to ensure the success of the event. MMT has agreed to provide 20 buses to convey supporters of the two main football clubs playing on day to the Ohene Gyan Sports Stadium. Eight buses are billed to convey supporters of Eleven Wise from Sekondi, Elmina and Cape Coast. Supporters of Accra Hearts of Oak will be transported from Nsawam, Kasoa, Madina, Adenta, Ashaiman, Tema, Achimota and other suburbs of Accra at discounted fares. The 2009 MTN President�s Cup is the biggest in the long history of the annual event, organisers say.

A perfect gift for baby showers, this fun blanket knit with Willow Cub yarn uses the entrelac technique to create a gorgeous woven appearance! Kit includes yarn and experienced knit instructions. 35 x 35" (89 x 89cm). Imported from Europe.
Requires US size 8 (5mm) 32" circular needle and dpn to complete.
"Easy to knit. Even prettier in person. Lively textures and colors. Very unique."
"Kit is very good with plenty of yarn to complete the project. HOWEVER, the best part is that I learned how to knit backward which makes entrelac super easy and fun. Cub yarn is very, very nice; it feels hefty, but it's not over warm. I would buy this kit again."

Many clients come from other states and ask about the weather patterns here because they are looking for milder temperatures, less heat or more seasons when exploring places to buy a 2nd home or retire. I recently had a client in AZ who is specifically looking to be able to enjoy the outside and not be stuck in air-conditioning 24/7! He also asked about global warming as that's a concern of his, too. I haven't seen that occurring here at Fishhawk Lake in the 7-8 years we've been here. We also don't experience the drastic humidity of the south.
There are four seasons at Fishhawk Lake. I've seen everything from 90+ degree summers to four feet or more of snow and that was all in the year of '09! Because we're located in the coastal range, our temperatures can vary 6-12 degrees from the climate in Portland and around that city. We are at 600 feet elevation and tucked in amongst some trees, mountainous area, so we can have 50 degree mornings (perfect for a run or a hike) and then enjoy 90 degrees in the afternoon which warrants a good long swim in the lake.
The winter of '09 was the most amount of snow on record in Northwest Oregon. I measured 4′ on our deck. I took our ATV out and got many photos around the lake to capture the beauty. We have snow removal as one of the many amenities we appreciate in our Homeowners' Association. We have the equipment to clear our main roads, however you need to do your own driveway. ATVs are a great way to get around in inclement weather, but are also fun for going up Greasy Spoon Rd. and hitting 3500′ elevation where you can see Astoria and barges heading for the ocean. It's a series of old logging roads that can be hiked, driven with four-wheel drive vehicles or the efficient ATVs, but wear your helmut!
This spring was unusually wet and long, but the upside to that was the amount of greenery we have and the plethora of flowers this year. I even got to see seven blooms of calla lilies in my water feature–a first since they were planted 5 years ago.
I get asked a lot about mosquitoes! If you've ever spent time at a lake, especially lakes in Michigan, you've experienced the unpleasantness of mosquitoes. We hardly see any at this lake and certainly not the size that can carry away a small child, like in Michigan! We do have "critters": dragonflies, lizards, frogs, and of course waterfowl.
We've got Canadian Geese, ducks, bald eagle, osprey (Fishhawk), herons and other wonderful feathered friends who visit and sometimes stay–maybe they got lost or just found paradise and didn't want to leave!
One of the pleasures of the weather patterns we delight in is the mist on the water in the early mornings here, even in the summer. Since moving onto the lake recently, I've relished those early trysts outside with a cup of coffee and taking in the view before it burns off.
Usually right after the 4th of July is when we kick into summer. Septembers are quite often lovely as well. We can see Indian summers at times, too. What I suggest for attire: layer-and-peel types of clothing are best!!

Singapore is a very safe place for anyone to visit but it is not without risk, nowhere is. I was exploring the Geylang area which, it turns out, has more than old world charm going for it. It turned out to be a red light area, but only off the main street. Here women lined the footpath to be ogled by dozens of men, all Indian, mostly holding hands in friendly pairs. As I turned to return to the main street my instincts were proven correct when a soft drink can just brushed my hair. A milimetre or two closer and it would have hit me. I scanned the dozen or so faces of the men surrounding me but they were impassive, yet hostile. Obviously they resented a European on their street. In the next street it w nearly all Chinese men watching the handful of women dutifully lined up and on parade.
As I made it back to the relative safety of the hustle and bustle of the main street I wondered how many men each must see every night. These were the second and third tier of prostitutes apparently. The younger ones no doubt working more upscale venues. I could clearly see, especially with the Sri Lankan women, they were not happy with hat they had to do. The Thai and Chinese, Vietnamese women seemed to be there voluntarily but the looks on the Indian/Sri Lankan/Bangladeshi women told a different story altogether.
Wherever there is alcohol there is a chance of trouble brewing. Throw in women and the risk increases. In this case it is prostitution rather than girls at a disco but the formula is the same. Men + Alcohol + Women = Trouble. There were places in Kuala Lumpur I had read about that were great places to go in the daylight and shop, but at night they were low rent red light areas, known for pimps and prostitutes ganging up on clients and even likely victims just passing through. Spiked drinks, violent robberies and bashings are to be avoided at all costs. If you have the back up and the curiosity, by all means take a trip there but be prepared, travel light without your valuables and just enough cash spread around you to get you through the night. As I was on my own and not in the market for female company I felt the best thing was to make sure I left the area well before dark, hanging out close to my hotel where there was more than enough local colour to keep me interested.
Coming back from the Skybar where I had spent an enjoyable hour or so taking in the view of the Petronas Twin Towers by night, I spied a gang of local youths charge across the road and towards a single, male European. He was outnumbered about ten to one and the only other people around were older locals, none of whom I think would come to his aid if need be. The crowd mock charged him, stopping short about two metres from the man. He faked a counterattack and as they hesitated he turned and legged it. I told the cabbie to slow down and slid open the door to the 7 seater mini van and called to the man to get in. Either he wasn't paying attention or didn't grasp the seriousness of his predicament but he just looked at me then ran past the cab. At this point the mob were closing in so I slammed shut the door and locked it and the driver hit the gas. I have no idea what happened next as we soon rounded a bend and they were lost to our sight. I gave him a chance and he failed to take it. I wasn't going back for him and putting my life at risk in a fight I didn't have a dog in.
Overll both Singapore and Kuala Lumpur are safe cities but of course, if you go looking for trouble, it will find you. As we used to say in the Military Police, it is all about the Three Ps; Prisoners, prostitutes and property! Also known as Cash, Bash and Gash!

All too often the Arctic region is portrayed as an area on the cusp of military crisis. This is an easy narrative to sell; it harks back to the Cold War. Potent imagery persists of submarines trolling silently beneath the Arctic ice and nuclear ballistic missiles pointed across the North Pole.
During the height of the standoff between NATO and the USSR, the world feared a barrage of nuclear warheads streaming in from the frozen north – and this experience has imprinted on the collective imagination and created distinct ideas about the region. This fear, for example, motivated from the 1950s the construction of the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Lines, a system of radar stations across the northern US (Alaska), Canada, and Greenland. The DEW Lines were meant to give the US and its NATO allies an early warning of an incoming Soviet nuclear strike.
The Cold War was a significant period in history. But catchy headlines playing off the parallels between the region and a new "cold" war are misleading. There have, of course, been increased tensions between the West and Russia since 2014 due to the conflict over Ukraine and Crimea. The 2018 Trident Juncture exercises in the Arctic, featuring "50,000 personnel from NATO Allies and partner countries", are evidence of this. But the tension is not Arctic-specific and militaries are diverse actors in the region. This nuance, however, is often overlooked.
Current military exercises and equipment acquisitions fuel old Cold War perceptions. And a certain militarisation is indeed occurring in the Arctic. Russia, for example, has recently invested heavily in updating its northern military infrastructure. So too have other Arctic states, such as Canada and Denmark. But military activity has, to varying degrees, occurred for decades in the north – it was just largely ignored by those not living there until recently.
The Arctic states guard their land and waterways through aerial, submarine and surface ship patrols, much as they have done for years. This hardly constitutes an escalation of military tensions, even if the infrastructure is being updated and, in some cases, increased. Despite this, talk of a new Cold War is heating up.
A nation's armed forces often play a range of roles – beyond their traditional responsibilities in armed conflict. They are useful for rapid response during disasters, for example, and provide a range of security roles that don't necessarily mean an escalation to war. They offer search and rescue (SAR) services and policing support.
In Norway, for example, the coastguard is one of the branches of the navy, along with the armed fleet, the naval schools and the naval bases. In Denmark, meanwhile, the coastguard's Arctic activities are managed by the Royal Danish Navy.
In Canada, the coastguard is a civilian organisation. It "is the principal civilian maritime operational arm of the government of Canada". But it also works closely with the Department of National Defence to provide Canada's search and rescue services, including aerial support.
The US coastguard is part of the Department of Homeland Security, which "secures the nation's air, land, and sea borders to prevent illegal activity while facilitating lawful travel and trade". By law, however, the US coastguard is outside the Department of Defence "in peacetime and is poised for transfer to the Department of the Navy during war".
Because of affiliations such as these, the line between military and civilian activity can become blurred. But that doesn't mean all military activity is hostile or equates to an escalation towards war.
Climate change and technological advances have begun to open up the Arctic. And this means that more policing is required in a region that is remote and often out of reach for traditional police forces.
Other issues are also arising from climate change, such as increased forest fires. In July 2018, Sweden suffered major forest fires. As part of its effort to combat the fires it deployed "laser-guided bombs to douse forest fires". This initiative was led by the Swedish air force. By using laser bombs, the "shockwaves simply blew out the flames in the same way our breath does to candles".
As the region's economic activity expands, armed forces are also being asked to assist more with civilian issues. In 2017, for example, the Norwegian coastguard was called in by local police in Tromsø to help police Greenpeace protesters who had entered a 500-metre safety zone around the Songa Enabler rig in an effort to stop drilling in the Korpfjell field of the Barents Sea. The Norwegian coastguard vessel, KV Nordkapp, responded, resulting in the seizure of Grenpeace's Arctic Sunrise ship and the arrest of all 35 people on board.
Given the Arctic's growing economic potential, military infrastructure is getting more attention. Russia, in particular, has made it clear that with economic potential on the line in the Arctic, a military build up is essential. For Russia, Arctic resources are central to the country's economic security so the government line is: "National security in the Arctic requires an advanced naval, air force and army presence." But issues of national security are wide ranging and are not solely a matter of building capacity to defend oneself from or in war.
Overall, it is vital to remember that while militaries are tools of war, they are not just tools of war. They also contribute to and provide a wide range of security services. This does not mean that increased military spending and activities should not be viewed with a critical eye. Indeed, they should. But discussing "a new Cold War" is sensationalist. It detracts from the broader roles that militaries play throughout the Arctic and stokes the very tensions it warns of.

You do love you son and it shows in your post. the best thing you can do for him is to not allow him to abuse you any more. His addiction turns him into someone else. continue to pray for his recovery, and head to an Alanon or Naranon meeting. It will do you a world of good to be around others who are going through something similar!
So sorry for your son's relapse. This is my biggest fear when my daughter comes home. Hope things have changed this since this November post. How do you learn to trust again?

home about us fungal infections awareness & advocacy medical community news support us
First RCT directly comparing itraconazole with prednisolone for acute ABPA
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is an immune reaction against colonisation of the lungs by Aspergillus fumigatus. The global burden is thought to be around 5 million, with 1.4 million cases in India alone. Early diagnosis is essential to prevent progression to bronchiectasis and pulmonary fibrosis.
Guidelines generally recommend treatment with glucocorticoids, but these carry a heavy burden of side effects. Itraconazole monotherapy has been suggested as an alternative treatment option, through reduction of the fungal burden, but supporting evidence is currently lacking.
Dr Ritesh Agarwal and colleagues at PGIMER (Chandigarh, India) conducted an open-label randomised controlled trial comparing oral itraconazole (n=68) against prednisolone (n=63) as a first-line treatment in acute ABPA. All (100%) patients taking prednisolone achieved a treatment response, while 88% of patients on itraconazole did so; there were no obvious characteristics in common between non-responders.
Itraconazole was not associated with many of the Cushingoid side effects that glucocorticoids are notorious for, although elevated ASTs/ALTs were seen in more itraconazole patients (15%) than prednisolone patients (0%).
Overall, these results suggest that itraconazole makes a good alternative for patients who cannot tolerate glucocorticoids (e.g. those with uncontrolled diabetes, obesity or osteoporosis), but treatment must be monitored as around 12% of patients will not respond.

Left: cumulative probability of first exacerbation for patients receiving prednisolone (red, n=63) or itraconazole (blue, n=60). Eight subjects taking itraconazole were excluded as they did not respond to treatment.
Right: bilateral bronciectasis in a patient with longstanding ABPA.

← Online Poker – A Brief History Of The Best Gambling Game
Gambling Games – Know To Choose The Best On The Placard!
After World Wide Web was introduced, gambling has changed a lot. Many people used to go to casinos and play craps, poker, black jack, slot machines and other games that were available in the casino.
The people used to go to the social hall named as bingo social hall and used to play bingo. They used to be a gang of people who were a bit rowdy, noisy and used to jump, shout and other things to announce their victory in the game, hollering BINGO! BINGO!
Many people used to go to race tracks and bet on dogs and horses and placed their stakes and wagers. They then used to experience the result of the race first hand.
However, the technology has increasingly become complex and gambling has captured even the peaceful atmosphere of homes.
The practise of playing games online has become so prominent that many people get connected to the web just for the sake of playing games like craps, poker, slots and roulette.
The practise of online gaming has not even spared bingo.
In a few states, betting offline has been almost completely eradicated. Many people bet on their favourite horse, not by going to the race course, but by sitting in front of their system.
Nowadays, it looks as if no one will have to leave the house, pump the adrenaline levels to a very high value and then face the winning or losing.
The choice of game that you wish to play is a choice or decision that is yours personally. Many people have a natural attraction towards horses and dogs and so they prefer betting on them in races and race tracks either online or offline.
Many people actually prefer looking into a paper, wait for a random ball to be drawn and like to jump and shout claiming their victory on the game, shouting BINGO!
Many people prefer in being anonymous and play casino games only inside the house so that even if they lose very badly or even if they win a large amount, no one would be the wiser and identify them.
Some other people like the feel of cards in their fingers and would like to stay in casinos located close by to play, not a card game alone, but a psychological game with other players in the table and also the dealer.
The choice of game, hence, rests on the players. All gambling that is done has a certain level of risk and they have their lows and highs. Hence, the initial decision made in choosing the game will be the best and that game will be enjoyed the most, forever.
