How Can Auto Fire Guard Help Me?
Auto Fire Guard can allow you to afford an inexpensive sprinkler system or fire extinguisher subsititute in West Bloomfield Township.	Auto Fire Guard can be used in two ways: As an inexpensive fire sprinkler system.
As an easier-to-use fire extinguisher. As an easier-to-use fire extinguisher. One of the main drawbacks to fire extinguishers is that they are difficult to use. They are often times heavy, and while they're not particularly complicated to implement, the reality is most people are not level-headed enough to use in an emergency situation. Auto Fire Guard can be tossed or rolled into a fire, so you can turn, run and call the West Bloomfield Township fire department. It can be used by even people with limited movement like the handicapped or the elderly, as well as children. Auto Fire Guard works on three kinds of fire: Class A, Class B and Class C. This would include combustibles like fire, paper, oil based paints, thinners, etc., and fusebox fires.
Auto Fire Guard was invented by a fireman who knew there had to be a better way to keep fires from spreading before the fire department arrived. He also realize that many people are unaware that homes in West Bloomfield Township and elsewhere today use a lot more in the way of synthetically made materials. These materials are often made with petroleum products, which means that they can burn a lot hotter than regular wood. Oddly, the basic idea for Auto Fire Guard is quite old. A similar product called The Fire Grenade was invented by Thomas Edison in the early part of the 20th century. Edison had seen one of his Laboratories go up in flames and decided to create a product that he hold would prevent that from happening again. The Fire Grenade worked in a rudimentary way, but had a few flaws. One of which is that it had no dispersal mechanism. Essentially it was flame retardant chemicals inside a large light bulb with the fire retardant sin held in with a cork and wax. Another drawback was that the chemicals it used were dangerous, and finally had to be discontinued. Auto Fire Guard on the other hand continues uses environmentally Safe products that are harmless to Children pets and the environment.

UT alumnus talks experience aboard International Space Station
5 years ago Benjamin Webb
UT graduate, Navy pilot and astronaut, Barry Wilmore spoke to students and faculty on Sept. 11 about his recent stint aboard the International Space Station.
In the presentation, Wilmore's most recent stay on the International Space Station ran from September of 2014 to March of 2015. The main focus of his lecture was to show what astronauts have to do aboard the International Space Station in regards to training, physical wellness, how gravity affects the body. Wilmore talked about what types of scientific experiments he performed and explained how people adjust to zero-gravity before and after space flight.
"You know, there are many people that… try to just shove a pencil across the room at their wife," Wilmore said in response to a question about how people adjust to being back on Earth after being in space. "I never did that for whatever reason, I didn't!"
"The first three days, I mean… it took a little bit of time [for me] to readjust to gravity," Wilmore went on to add. "Some people, it takes weeks."
Wilmore presented a video about his stay after his lecture. The video, which was mostly shot with a GoPro camera, included the preparation for the launch, interviews aboard the station, documentations of the experiments he did aboard the station and the crew returning to Earth.
During the video, Wilmore narrated some of the key aspects, such as flying close to Aurora Borealis, doing experiments in zero-gravity and the reentry process. He said one of the most noticeable difference after being aboard the station for a couple of months was how his feet lacked calluses.
There were other noticeable differences about his body.
"Some of the great things [about space]; you go to space, your internal organs kind of adjust up into your chest, so your chest looks bigger. So your waist gets smaller… metabolism for almost everybody is completely different. I had to eat more than I wanted to to maintain my weight," Wilmore said.
At the end of Wilmore's presentation, Chancellor Jimmy Cheek announced that Wilmore would be included in the university's Accomplished Alumni Program and said that Wilmore would be honored once again at the football game on Sept. 12.

The Noble Savage, Caliban, and Hobbes
The great divide in early modern philosophy is still that which fundamentally divides politics today: what is man in the state of nature, when without state or society? To the romantic imagination it was the noble savage roaming the virgin plains of America without sin or care, but this opposed all experience and Biblical principle. The attraction of the 'noble savage' idea is obvious – if only we could cast off all the constraints and expectations of society and be free, then we might find a prelapsarian idyll. The realist and the theologian (which are by no means exclusive terms) will look with pity at the naïvety, while wishing in the dark hours of the soul that they could find the idyll themselves.
The ills of the world, the evils committed and the relentless need to labour without relief for little reward until death have been the realities of life forever, so it is a very attractive idea that all this is the result of oppressive powers and the dead hand of previous generations' ideas. If that so then there must once have been that wild idyll and it is possible to reach it once again.
The Biblical picture has Adam and Eve living in a garden where all is provided for them until they eat of the fruit of knowledge, after which all is toil and a struggle with inborn sin. This fruit of knowledge is the moment when they became human. The brief prelapsarian age cannot be regained unless we cease to be human.
Hobbes in Leviathan burst the noble savage idea. The natives of America were not sinless dwellers in an idyll, and for man, the state of nature is such that:
they are in that condition which is called Warre; and such a warre, as is of every man, against every man . . . Whatsoever therefore is consequent to a time of Warre, where every man is Enemy to every man; the same is consequent to the time, wherein men live without other security, than what their own strength, and their own invention shall furnish them withall.
In such condition, there is no place for Industry; because the fruit thereof is uncertain; and consequently no Culture of the Earth; no Navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by Sea; no commodious Building; no Instruments of moving, and removing such things as require much force; no Knowledge of the face of the Earth; no account of Time; no Arts; no Letters; no Society; and which is worst of all, continuall feare, and danger of violent death; And the life of man, solitary, poore, nasty, brutish, and short
This observation naturally upsets all those who believe in the perfectibility of mankind as it overturns the fundamental idea on which such a project must be built, but every experience of human nature proves Hobbes right.
Hobbes did turn to the 'noble savages' of America (whom the English settlers in America knew far better than the romantic philosophes of Paris):
For the savage people in many places of America, except the government of small Families, the concord whereof dependeth on naturall lust, have no government at all; and live at this day in that brutish manner, as I said before. Howsoever, it may be perceived what manner of life there would be, where there were no common Power to feare; by the manner of life, which men that have formerly lived under a peacefull government, use to degenerate into, in a civill Warre.
The idea of the noble savage and the inherent goodness of natural man is too attractive to have been lost though. It is strongly held by some today.
Anthony Burgess, in the commentary section of his book 1985, characterises the division of ideas as 'Pelagian' and 'Augustinian' after the two theologies which battled in the twilight of the Roman Empire; Pelagius claiming that men are good but corrupted by society and Augustine of Hippo asserting that all are born in sin and must seek salvation. Burgess acknowledged the attraction of the Pelagian idea, but who could ever believe in the basic goodness of man after the Holocaust?
The same divide – Augustinian v Pelagian or noble savage v Caliban – echoes in the division of conservative and radical, and specifically socialism. The attraction of the Pelagian idea is what keeps the latter discredited, disproven philosophy alive: the idea that all ills are caused by state and social structures which could be dismantled. Conservatives in contrast see the seething evil lurking in the pit of man's soul and recognise that only a strong, established society and the apparatus of state can prevent it from bursting out. The two seem irreconcilable.
Burgess wrote in an age when idealists wanted to remake man and honestly believed they could do better than the Creator, and he satirised this more famously in A Clockwork Orange. Other writers have done the same – H G Wells wanted to believe in the scientific perfectibility of man, which he planned out in In The Days of The Comet and The Shape of Things to Come, but his own works knew the uselessness of the idea, in The War in the Air, which reaches a Hobbesian conclusion, and The Island of Doctor Moreau where a scientist literally tries to make men. Best known of all is The Time Machine, where he imagines a bifurcation of the human race – Wells though sympathised with the useless Eloi who are merely farmed cattle for the Morlocks, the latter a far better representation of humanity. His Pelagian view was comprehensively refuted by a better writer, and his old tutor's son, Aldous Huxley, in Brave New World, where ironically the Savage is noble, as having been brought up not in a state on nature but in a strong, tribal society.
In every age we see proof that natural man is Caliban and in every age are many who convince themselves and others that the prelapsarian idyll can be achieved, and so society and political philosophy can never reach a consensus.

Happy Wednesday Peaches! I have a lovely watercolor Christmas card to share with you today. Watercolor is so fun and easy because there's really now way to go wrong. To start I take a piece of Watercolor Paper and my Aqua Painter. To "prime" my paper, I like to "color" the area that I want watercolored with my Aqua Painter (water only). Then I take my Emerald Envy Ink Pad (while it's still closed), squeeze it a bit so that the ink pad touches the inside of the lid and leaves a little ink. Then I dip my Aqua Painter in the ink and create Emerald Envy watercolor. I run my painter all along the area that I had already wet with water and the ink should spread seamlessly. If you use too much water, you run the risk of getting a shopping mess and hard edges. Additionally, your project is more likely to warp. If you wish for your color to be more intense, I recommend drying in between layers and just keep adding color until you are satisfied with the results.
The rest is really simple. I added some gold embossing, die cut a house and church from the Hearts Come Home Bundle, and added a few sequins. I just love how adding a few extra details creates so much interest.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll see you next post!

Hello Peaches! How was your Thanksgiving (if you celebrate)? Mine was great! It was my baby brother's first year in his new house, so he wanted to host this year. It's nestled on some beautiful property which made for great scenery for our holiday get-together. We all were a little unsure about how we would possibly fit 20-25 people in his house, but they came up with a great solution. They got some long tables, covered them with tablecloths, lined hay bales on both sides for seats, and covered the bales of hay with blankets so that they were softer to sit on. It was really the perfect set up for our Thanksgiving meal together. I've included pictures of our Thanksgiving down below if you're curious. Now on to my projects for today!
This week I'm having fun participating in the Global Design Project #115. The theme this week is sharing the joy of Christmas. This can mean so many things. Perhaps you enjoy extra time family and friends or maybe baking yummy treats for those in need. Whatever the reason, this time of year brings so many wonderful ways to be joyful. Check out the Global Design Project Page to see what other great projects the team has come up with.
One of my favorite Christmas preparations that brings me so much joy is to create my own handmade gift tags. Actually, if you make a bunch of them, you can wrap them up and give them as a gift. Handmade gifts are the best!
Generally I like to begin with a set color scheme. This makes it easier for me for a few reasons. I feel like it takes a lot of the guesswork out of coming up with the perfect color combo. I can just mix and match different colored elements, creating new designs every time. I also love how I can just mass produce them easier with a set color scheme. I just cut out the same shape in all the different color combos I'm working with and mix and match. The other great thing is that if there are extra pieces, they won't get wasted because I can just use them in another tag since they all match.
I chose to use Real Red, Emerald Envy, and gold for my colors. I added a little white here and there, but mostly just the other three colors. I took my Hang Your Stocking Stamps and Dies and began stamping and cutting a bunch of stockings from Real Red Cardstock, Emerald Envy Cardstock, and Gold Glimmer Paper. I also stamped a few in Real Red Ink and Emerald Envy Ink. After this was done the rest was easy.
I took all my stamped and cut images and began arranging them. I thought that adding some Layering Circles Dies and a few labels from the Lots of Labels Dies would be a great foundation to ground and arrange my stockings. After I assembled them the way I wanted, I punched a whole in the top so I could add string or ribbon later. That finishes off today's projects! Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll see you next post!
Hey crafty friends! I wanted to share a fun little project with you today. I often love giving delicious treats during the holidays. I really love these adorable Mini Pizza Boxes for delivering my handmade goodies. They can be colored in any color you like and even stamped on. You can create fun tags to them for an added creative touch and even add stenciled on patterns to name just a few ideas. To top it all off, these boxes are food safe, so you can put all kinds of treats in them.
For my project today, I took a piece of patterned paper from the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) and cut it down to wrap my box. After wrapping it around my box, I cut a few circles, one from Basic Black Cardstock and one from Pool Party Cardstock, and adhered them to the patterned paper. Next, I took some Bermuda Bay 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon and wrapped it around my box. I then, took a stamp from the Merry Little Labels Stamp Set and stamped it in Basic Black Ink onto some Bermuda Bay Cardstock and used the coordinating punch to punch it out. I added a strand of Silver Mini Sequin Trim behind it and added it to my box. To finish it off, I die cut a few snowflakes, added a bow made from Pool Party Solid Baker's Twine, and added some Rhinestone Basic Jewels. Well, that's my project for today! I hope you liked it and I'll see you next post!

Zondveld (Veghels dialect: "Zoffelt") is een buurtschap in de Noord-Brabantse gemeente Meierijstad. De naam Zondveld laat zich mogelijk verklaren als 'zuidelijk gelegen veld' (het eerste deel misschien afkomstig van het Germaanse sund 'zuidelijk') bezien vanuit de oude parochie Veghel of als afgezonderd veld, uit het woord sond 'afgezonderd' wegens de afgezonderde ligging. Veld betekent hier onontgonnen, woeste grond.

Ligging
De buurtschap Zondveld is gelegen ten zuidwesten van de kern Veghel en wordt gerekend tot het dorp Zijtaart.

Geschiedenis
De ontginning van Zondveld van vermoedelijk 11e of 12e eeuw plaats en behoort tot de oudste in de omgeving. Daarmee is Zondveld een van de oudste buurtschappen van Veghel.
De buurtschap bestond vroeger uit Laag en Hoog Zondveld. Op Laag Zondveld stond de Zondveldse Hoef, een oud herengoed, dat haar naam gaf aan deze buurtschap. Hoog Zondveld ontstond als primaire ontginning van kleine plaatselijke boeren.

Zondveld behoorde van oudsher tot de parochie Veghel. In latere eeuwen zijn er onduidelijkheden geweest over het grensverloop en het administratieve toebehoren van de buurtschap Zondveld. Juffrouw Anna van Hambroek, vrouwe van de heerlijkheid Jekschot, beweerde in 1644 tijdens een proces over de grenspalen van Sint-Oedenrode, Jekschot en Veghel, dat Zondveld binnen de grenzen van de heerlijkheid Jekschot lag. De grenzen van Jekschot en Veghel, zouden volgens haar liggen ter hoogte van het Rijbroek, een drassig broekland ten noorden van Zondveld.
De huizen van Zondveld behoorden echter tot het bestuurlijk ressort van Veghel, maar de wat zuidelijker gelegen landerijen ten noorden van de Jekschotse loop ressorteerden wel onder de heerlijkheid Jekschot. Zondveld bleef uiteindelijk onder Veghel en ter hoogte van de buurtschap kwam de gemeentegrens van Veghel en Sint-Oedenrode te liggen op de Jekschotse loop, een zijriviertje van de Aa.

In 1872 ging Zondveld deel uitmaken van de parochie Zijtaart.

Ontwikkelingen
In het kader van de ruilverkaveling Sint-Oedenrode heeft de voormalige gemeente Veghel ter hoogte van Zondveld een oud ven in ere hersteld. Dit in het kader van natuurontwikkeling.

Dirrhagofarsus – rodzaj chrząszczy z rodziny goleńczykowatych i podrodziny Melasinae.

Morfologia
Chrząszcze o wydłużonym ciele. Mają kulistawą głowę z poprzeczną przepaską gęstego owłosienia na ciemieniu i parą podłużnych żeberek umieszczonych na czole, w pobliżu dużych oczu złożonych. Czułki mogą być od niemal nitkowatych po piłkowane; osadzone są w na przodzie czoła, w oddaleniu od żuwaczek i oczu złożonych. Drugi człon czułków jest zawsze krótszy od czwartego. Przedplecze jest mniej więcej tak długie jak szerokie i ma krawędzie boczne równoległe. Żuwaczki są krótkie, silne i ostro zakończone. Położone na przedtułowiu bruzdy do chowania czułków mają krawędzie równoległe, odgraniczone bocznymi żeberkami. Wierzchołek tarczki jest zaokrąglony. Episternity i epimeryty śródtułowia zlane są ze sobą. Episternity zatułowia są bardzo wąskie, od siedmiu do dziewięciu razy dłuższe niż szerokie i mają niemal równoległe boki. Pokrywy w widoku bocznym odznaczają się silnie wypukłymi wierzchołkami. Płytka bioder tylnej pary odnóży jest pośrodkowo silnie rozszerzona. Odnóża mają smukłe golenie i stopy oraz niezmodyfikowane pazurki. W tylnej ich parze stopy mają człon pierwszy półtora raza dłuższy niż człony od drugiego do czwartego razem wzięte. Odwłok ma widoczne sternity (wentryty) stożkowate, a piąty z nich zaostrzony w widoku brzusznym. Narządy kopulacyjne samca cechuje spłaszczony grzbietobrzusznie, trójpłatowy edeagus. Płat środkowy, czyli prącie jest na szczycie rozdwojony. Paramery (płaty boczne) są nieprzyrośnięte do płytki wentralnej, smukłe i silnie zwężone w częściach wierzchołkowych.

Biologia i ekologia
Chrząszcze saproksylofagiczne, rozwijające się w gnijącym, wilgotnym, martwym drewnie drzew. Rozwój larwalny przebiega z nadprzeobrażeniem – larwą pierwszego stadium jest nie przyjmujący pokarmu, zdolny do aktywnego ruchu w płynnym środowisku trójpazurkowiec. Kolejne stadia larwalne są już beznogie. Wyrośnięta larwa jest stadium zimującym.

Rozprzestrzenienie
Rodzaj holarktyczny. W Nearktyce stwierdzono 2 gatunki, a we wschodniej Palearktyce 3 gatunki. W Europie, w tym w Polsce, występuje tylko skrajnie rzadki, klasyfikowany jako krytycznie zagrożony lub zagrożony wyginięciem goleńczyk szczupły.

Taksonomia
Rodzaj ten wprowadzony został w 1935 roku przez Edmonda Jean-Baptiste'a Fleutiaux jako monotypowy, dla gatunku znanego wcześniej jako Microrhagus lewisi. W 1975 roku Aldo Olexa utworzył nowy rodzaj Attenuorhagus, w którym gatunkiem typowym został goleńczyk szczupły. Takson ten traktowany był także jako podrodzaj w obrębie Rhacopus. W 1993 roku Jyrki Muona zsynonimizował Attenuorhagus z Dirrhagofarsus.

Do rodzaju należy 7 opisanych gatunków:
 Dirrhagofarsus attenuatus (Mäklin, 1845) – goleńczyk szczupły
 Dirrhagofarsus ernae Otto et al., 2014
 Dirrhagofarsus ferrugineus (Reitter, 1889)
 Dirrhagofarsus foveicollis Otto et al., 2016
 Dirrhagofarsus lewisi (Fleutiaux 1900)
 Dirrhagofarsus modestus (Fleutiaux, 1923)
 Dirrhagofarsus unicolor (Hisamatsu, 1960)

Ramstein Airmen Help Renovate Georgian School
September 9, 2015 By larryf
GORI, Georgia (AFNS) – September 9, 2015 — For the past month, the hallways of Gori Public School No. 4 were alive with the sounds of construction workers sanding, sawing, tearing down, building up and transforming what looked like a century-old building.
The transformation continued till just hours before the Aug. 31 culminating ceremony, as a team of Air Force and Georgian army engineers worked hard to make their finishing touches.
As the last coat of paint dried, local community members, teachers and students gather in front of the school for the event.
Distinguished visitors from the U.S. Embassy in Georgia and Georgian officials celebrated the completion of the school restoration project, financed by the U.S. European Command and implemented by the Office of Defense Cooperation, U.S. Embassy to Georgia.
The humanitarian assistance project had a construction materials budget of $40,000 with the goal of supporting national military strategy and enhancing the operational readiness skills of military personnel; all while providing substantial benefits to host country populations.
Capt. Parnaoz Svanidze, a member of Georgia?s land forces, assisted with many aspects including logistics and scheduling of the project, and said one of the main focuses for the project was to renovate the school and attached gym for the children with disabilities because most of the disabled children that live in Gori attend Public School No. 4.
Better access for those children was a top priority throughout the project.
"I'm so grateful to work with Americans again," said Svanidze, who served in Operation Enduring Freedom and worked side by side with U.S. Marines for six months in Afghanistan. "I like working with (the Air Force engineers) because they work really hard and know exactly how to do it. I can tell they do it from the heart because they know that everything they've done is for the children and for the future."
During the ceremony, the sounds of the neighborhood school children could be heard throughout the crowd; laughing, giggling and whispering in anticipation. They were excited to see all the new updates to their school.
As the last words were spoken and the crowd dispersed to take the grand tour and a group of children weaved through the crowd and headed straight for the new gym.
"The gym in the school has been used as a safe haven for these kids in the neighborhood for years," said Tech. Sgt. Brendan Allen, the 435th Construction and Training Squadron, and Georgia humanitarian and civic assistance project manager. "When we got here the kids couldn't even play here without pieces of the wall falling down on them; now it's safe."
The gym has been completely redone. The floors and walls were completely remodeled, the basketball backboards replaced, new lighting was installed and a fresh coat of yellow paint for the walls and white for the high ceilings were applied.
"This whole project has been an amazing experience," Allen said. "My guys worked really hard the entire time. I don't want to go, but I know we can leave here knowing we helped the children and we can be proud of our work."
The project is one of about 15 that will be done this year throughout the European and Eurasia regions and has trained military engineers from the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force active duty, Reserve, and Guard forces in the past.
The team explained that their time spent in Georgia has been extremely rewarding and has given them an appreciation for hard work.
"It's extremely impressive how hard the Georgian engineers worked," Allen said. "Without their support, we definitely wouldn't have been able to get as much done in that amount of time, and we're extremely thankful for it."

Q: Display all existing members How would I (using a loop) pull in all of the existing users? I'm trying to loop through these users and then pull in meta data for each one.

A: You can use get_users().
$args = array(
    'fields' => 'all_with_meta',
);
$users = get_users( $args );
foreach( $users as $user ) {
    // your display code here
    var_dump( $user );  // so you can see what's in $user
}

all_with_meta will get the user and all the associated meta, if I'm reading the Codex page right.
Update: After testing the code, I find that 'number' => -1 returns nothing at all, so I removed it from the code.

HomeM.E.Saudi Arabia imposes a temporary ban on "umrah" pilgrims
Saudi Arabia imposes a temporary ban on "umrah" pilgrims
As the increasing number of coronavirus outside china deepens fear of coronavirus, Saudi Arabia suspends entrance for the tourism and umrah pilgrimage. The kingdom introduced the latest tourism visa to more than 49 countries in October 2019, and the country welcomes millions of pilgrims across the year as it has two holiest Islamic sites in Makkah and Madina.
The minister of foreign affairs stated that the suspension was tentative, yet no time frame was provided for the expiry. There is no clarification regarding the hajj schedule whether it would be implemented that is due in late July.
Entry is also prohibited for the visit to the prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) mosque in Medina.
Though coronavirus is spreading to neighboring regions, no case has been reported in Saudi Arabia.
The ministry did not specify which countries would be affected by the deferral, but the authorities would identify which countries are worst affected and constitute a threat to the country.
The top tourism official of Saudi Arabia said 400,000 tourists were scheduled to visit the country, and the country is supposed to attract some 100 million visitors in 2030.
The COVID-19 cases have been identified in Brazil, Sweden, Pakistan, Norway, Greece, Romania, and Algeria.–Worldwide News

Microbial growth of any kind but especially black mold is concerning and scheduling a mold inspection or mold testing appointment is the first step to rid your home of the pernicious fungus.
Mold grows where it has a food and moisture source like in your attic, basement or crawlspace. Mold growth, like black mold, is potentially dangerous to your family's health. If someone in your household has a mold allergy or other respiratory conditions like chronic asthma, they can suffer from migraines, nasal congestion, and coughing when in the presence of mold growth. Even if the mold is hidden in your attic, or inside a wall, you can suffer from health symptoms.
AdvantaClean of Fort Lauderdale offers the Pompano Beach, Florida area with expert mold inspection, mold testing, mold removal, and mold remediation appointments. We will find the source and extent of your mold growth no matter where it occurs, and efficiently remove it from the building. Our mold removal and mold remediation process involve a HEPA-filtered vacuum, anti-microbial spray, and air scrubbers to clean the surfaces and the air in the affected areas.
When moisture enters your home, mold is sure to follow. Fixing the entry point of the moisture is your best bet toward curbing future mold growth. Attics, basements, and crawl spaces are naturally prone to moisture issues as they are typically closed off areas and often unused save for convenient storage. We offer your Pompano Beach home moisture control options including basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and installation of a dehumidifier.
Crawl space encapsulation uses an industrial plastic material to cover the floor and walls of the crawl space to prevent moisture from entering and mold from growing. Basement waterproofing can incorporate the use of French drains and sump pumps to channel the flow of water coming to the basement out and away from your home.
Water, no matter where it came from or where it entered, is a dangerous element in the indoor environment. Causing lasting damage to your floors, walls, ceiling, and possessions, a water intrusion of any kind or size requires prompt water removal and water damage restoration. Water damage also introduces the chance of mold growth, which can harm the health of you and your family.

At AdvantaClean of Fort Lauderdale, we are NADCA certified in the best method for air duct cleanings. We use the push-pull technique as set forth by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association. We use a HEPA-filtered vacuum with negative air pressure to draw out the dust, dirt, and debris littering your ductwork. Our high-pressure air whip, or Viper, pushes air and agitates the contaminants with octopus-like attachments to clean every inch of your ductwork.
When there are pollutants in your air ducts, your family's health can suffer. Respiratory conditions like asthma and allergies are strongly affected by the quality of indoor air. Any dangerous particulate matter inside the ductwork can negatively affect the health of these occupants. We recommend scheduling an air duct cleaning every five to seven years, or sooner, to prevent contaminants from harming your family.
Yearly dryer vent cleanings are vital to protecting your family from dryer vent fires. Lint that is stuck to your damp clothes after a washing cycle is pushed into the vent when the dryer vents the humid, hot air during the drying cycle. Over time, the dryer vent becomes clogged with lint, making your dryer work harder to dry your clothes. The lint clog poses the risk of igniting and setting your dryer on fire. By cleaning the dryer vent every year as part of your annual home maintenance schedule, you significantly reduce your chances of a fire.


The Lolo Peak Fire has been burning since being started by lightning in mid-July -Dennis Bragg photo (MISSOULA)- This is already one of the most expensive fire seasons on record in Montana.
And Western Montana's "Big 3" fires are chewing through most of the money, with the combined total approaching $100-million.
The latest report shows the Lolo Peak Fire's price tag just hit $30.8 million dollars. But the Sapphire Complex burning above Rock Creek and the Sunrise Fire near Superior aren't far behind, with both fires costing over $27-million dollars each. Those three fires have burned a combined total of just under 100,000 acres through Saturday night.
The Meyers Fire in Granite County has cost $21.1-million to date. The Rice Ridge Fire, which continues to burn near Seeley Lake has passed the $20-million mark.
Other fires that have cost more than $1-million dollars include the Liberty Fire southeast of Arlee, the Alice Creek and Arastra Fires near Lincoln, the Tamarack Fire, and the Blue Bay Fire on Flathead Lake.
Lolo Peak Fire Wednesday evening- USFS photo (FLORENCE)- The Ravalli County Sheriff's Office orders new evacuations near Florence, after the Lolo Peak Fire flares up again in windy weather.
The new orders impact residents west of Florence Carlton Loop south to One Horse Creek Road and west of Highway 93 from One Horse to Sweeney Creek Loop. The orders came Wednesday evening as 40 mile per hour gusts raked across the southeast corner of the fire above Florence, creating what the sheriff's office called "dangerous fire behavior."
Previous evacuations remained in place.
More gusty winds are possible through this afternoon.
(MISSOULA)- Residents of Missoula County and the northern Bitterroot continue to suffer with terrible air quality from all the fire smoke.
DEQ reports air quality was "unhealthy" in Missoula and Frenchtown as well as Hamilton late Wednesday evening. And in Lolo, the air was even worse, reaching "hazardous" levels.
However, by Thursday morning conditions had improved somewhat, with all those same areas reporting air was "unhealthy for sensitive groups."
And forecasters aren't expecting any real long term relief, with more dry weather in the forecast after a chance of thunderstorms Thursday afternoon.

Two goals in the final three minutes of the game earned a third successive Premier League win for Everton as they overcame a wasteful Crystal Palace team 2-0 at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon.
The visitors should have taken the lead in the second half but Luka Milivojević missed from the penalty spot.
They were punished, as Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Cenk Tosun netted in the 87th and the 89th minute respectively to seal yet another victory for Marco Silva's side.
On the other hand, Palace will feel that they should have got something from the game but once again their failure to score was their downfall and led to yet another loss in the league.
Both managers revealed good news before the game with the teams that they selected. Andres Gomes finally made his Everton debut after joining from Barcelona in the summer, while Wilfried Zaha was passed fit to play much to the relief of everyone at Palace as he is their talisman.
The game itself began very tactically as it was clear that Roy Hodgson set up his side to be defensively strong and then play on the counter.
By doing this, the Eagles frustrated the Toffees for the opening half an hour as they would have been wanting to get off to a fast start but it didn't materialise.
The hosts didn't create anything of note until Gylfi Sigurðsson found space at the edge of the Palace box and forced Wayne Hennessey into a very good save.
That one moment, though, only seemed to wake the visitors up as they went down the other end and almost took the lead themselves on a couple of occasions.
The first opportunity came when Andros Townsend played a great cross into the box which found James Tomkins unmarked but somehow he headed wide when he should have scored.
Minutes later, the visitors came even closer to opening the scoring when a corner was delivered into the box by Zaha, which found Tomkins, who headed the ball back across the area to Cheikhou Kouyaté, whose goalbound header came back off the bar.
The Eagles continued to attack right up until the break without much luck.
Therefore, at half-time, the scoreline was goalless with the hosts knowing that they would need to up their game in the second half to get the win, while the visitors would have been hoping for more of the same in the second half.
It was clear that Silva had some words with his side at half-time as they came out at the start of the second half with much more intent to attack.
They piled the pressure on the Eagles defence but out of nowhere, Palace were awarded a penalty when Seamus Coleman was adjudged to have fouled Zaha in the box.
Milivojević stepped up to take the penalty but he saw his spot kick saved by Jordan Pickford with his legs.
That incident brought real life to the game as straight away down the other end, Theo Walcott found himself in on goal after a great through pass from Sigurðsson but he was denied by Hennessey, who to his credit was quick off his line to block the shot.
Both teams continued to look for that opening goal which led to an end to end game and just as the game was petering out for a draw, Everton scored twice in the final three minutes of the game.
The first goal was made by second half substitute Ademola Lookman, who played a great cross into Calvert-Lewin, also on as a second half substitute, who headed home past the despairing dive of Hennessey.
That meant that Palace had to go all out attack to try and get an equaliser before the end of the game but that left them really exposed at the back.
One long ball forward from Michael Keane found Tosun in on goal and he made no mistake to seal the three points for the Toffees in a game that could really have went either way.


Google Offers 1TB of Drive storage for new Chromebooks. Google is offering a pretty good deal to anyone who buys or receives a new Chromebook for the holidays. Their popularity has been on the rise over the last year and numerous retailers are offering steep discounts on and around Black Friday. Alex Vogenthaler, Group Product Manager & Holiday Sock Collector, announced that Google will offer new Chromebook buyers a free terabyte of Google Drive storage for two years. As per Google, Chromebook buyers can get 1TB of Google Drive storage for two years, almost $240 in value and absolutely free.
"That's enough space to keep more than 100,000 awkward holiday sweater pics safe and shareable in Drive" the blogpost said.
The offer is good for any new Chromebook user buying a laptop either in-store, online, or through the Google Play Store. In 2013, when Google launched the Pixel, 1TB of Drive storage was $50 per month. If you would compare, the features and capabilities of a Chromebook are essentially the same as a Windows-based laptop, even when running offline with no connection to the Internet. The primary difference is that it relies heavily on Google for things like email, calendar, music, and productivity tools. There are plenty of third-party apps and services designed for Chrome OS, but you won't be installing or running your Windows software on a Chromebook. New Chromebooks that qualify for the current 1TB Drive offer cost as little as $199. The deal looks good because 1TB Google Drive plan runs about $10 a month and over the course of 2 years, that's a $240 in savings. Google says only some Chromebooks will be eligible, so make sure you're getting one that is if you plan on taking advantage of this.

Ernst Heymann (* 6. April 1870 in Berlin; † 2. Mai 1946 in Tübingen) war ein deutscher Jurist und Rechtswissenschaftler. Er war Geheimer Justizrat.

Leben
Im Jahre 1889 legte er am Breslauer Maria-Magdalenen-Gymnasium die Reifeprüfung ab. Anschließend studierte er bis 1892 Jura an der Schlesischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Breslau. Heymann wurde 1899 Professor an der Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin. 1902 wurde er auf den Lehrstuhl für Rechtswissenschaft der  Albertus-Universität Königsberg berufen, zwei Jahre später wechselte er an die Philipps-Universität Marburg. 1914 kehrte er nach Berlin an die Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zurück.

Seit dem Jahr 1918 war Heymann ordentliches Mitglied der Preußischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. 1925 wurde er zum korrespondierenden Mitglied der Göttinger Akademie der Wissenschaften gewählt. Von 1926 bis 1938 war er Sekretar der Philosophisch-historischen Klasse der Akademie, danach zunächst bis 1939 kommissarischer Vizepräsident und von 1939 bis 1942 schließlich ordentlicher Vizepräsident. Heymann war langjähriger Vorsitzender der Akademiekommissionen "Deutsches Rechtswörterbuch", "Deutsche Kommission" und "Vocabularium Iurisprudentiae Romanae" sowie Justizsachverständiger der Akademie.

Seit 1926 war Heymann wissenschaftlicher Berater des Kaiser-Wilhelm-Instituts für ausländisches und internationales Privatrecht (KWI). Von 1929 bis 1932 und später wieder ab 1943 war Heymann Mitglied des Senats der Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gesellschaft (der heutigen Max-Planck-Gesellschaft). Von 1931 bis 1933 war er Präsident der Juristischen Gesellschaft zu Berlin. Zudem war er Mitglied der Zentraldirektion und Leiter der Abteilung "Leges" der Monumenta Germaniae Historica.

Nach der "Machtergreifung" der Nationalsozialisten gehörte er im Mai 1934 zu den Gründungsmitgliedern des Ausschusses für Rechtsphilosophie innerhalb der nationalsozialistischen Akademie für Deutsches Recht. Von 1937 bis 1946 war er Wissenschaftliches Mitglied der Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gesellschaft und leitete – bis 1938 zunächst kommissarisch – als Nachfolger des vom NS-Regime zur Niederlegung seines Amtes gezwungenen und 1939 emigrierten Ernst Rabel das Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut für ausländisches und internationales Privatrecht, dessen Neuausrichtung im Sinne einer "völkischen Profilierung" er vorantrieb. Sein Renommee setzte er dazu ein, eine vom nationalsozialistischen Rechtsverständnis geprägte Lesart des internationalen Privatrechts (IPR) auch auf internationaler Ebene zu befördern, und koordinierte in diesem Sinn die deutschen Beiträge zum II. Internationalen Kongress für Rechtsvergleichung in Den Haag 1937. In diesen Kontext gehört der Aufbau eines Zentrums der rechtsvergleichenden Grundlagenforschung am KWI. Allerdings isolierten sich die deutschen Vertreter durch ihre Positionen zusehends vom internationalen Diskurs und das IPR wurde unter Heymanns Institutsleitung in der bis dahin auf diesem Gebiet führenden deutschen Rechtswissenschaft zu einem randständigen Thema. 1939 gehörte Heymann zu den Autoren der Festschrift Deutsche Wissenschaft – Arbeit und Aufgabe zu Hitlers 50. Geburtstag. Der Titel seines Beitrages lautete Deutsche Handelsrechtswissenschaft. Im Rahmen der Evakuierung Berlins siedelte er 1944 mit den Mitarbeitern des Instituts nach Tübingen über.

First what great article I see there is a lot to learn I feel that you have the right steps, approaching this topic. I do appreciate that you provide the right plugins and tools that you mention in this article. I know that will help me when I approach this area.
So Luke I would like to say thank you for this article that you posted. All the best.
Nice article Luke! Interesting choice in your autoresponder. After researching several of them I decided on Sendinblue, as I think it has the best free version available. I originally was going to use Mailchimp, but they don't include any automation on their free plan.
Thanks Andy. I really like ConvertKit. It's super easy. The first plan is pretty cheap really when you consider what you should be able to make off a targeted email list. I'll have to check out Sendinblue though. Haven't heard of it.
Hello Luke, thanks for sharing your ideas. Recently I've started a blog on technology and I am learning many strategies from your ideas..
Thanks a lot and keep it up..
Hi Luke, nice article, completely agreed with your thought on having a blog for a business.
Just started my blog. I found your article very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
The Author Bio section, not able to find a way to make a similar edit..
Please let me know, thanks for the guide!
I did it manually in the php file for that section of the theme.
Awesome article, Luke! Yes, every business needs a blog. It may not pay off right away, but it sure pays off over time. As a blogger, it's easy for me to want to push aside my own business's blog because my clients' blogs are more important, but keeping up with my business blog has definitely brought in clients that I wouldn't have had otherwise and has helped me make other business connections. Thanks for all the plugin tips, too!
Great post, It's really very helpful.
Hey Luke, I found everything nice here. Nice blog design, Nice way of writing and Nice Post.. Thanks for sharing.
Many thanks for the helpful tips as always!
I totally agree with your point; i believe every business should have a blog and use it as a means to reach out to their audience.
Looking from the point of view of risk to reward ratio; i believe the rewards will surely pay-off over and over again, in as much as the content value is maintained.
Also, being new with FPTraffic; I personally find the blog very helpful; most especially in possible questions relating to Facebook fan-page engagement and others!
Many thanks for sharing the tips and update!
Hey Luke, Great post. some very helpful hints and tips.
You are right on the money, every business online should have a blog. I use mine as my 'home' online. Where I can connect with my readers, post great content and show where I am with my business, even mistakes I've made. IMO your blog shows you are a real person rather than just a 'business' , people like to buy from people so the more you connect with your audience via your blog the more engaged they will become with you. It does take some work but it is worth it in the long run.
nice blog i love to read your content and offers.
But it is very difficult to generate traffic on a new blog if u are a beginner.
All good things take time to build.
That feeling after you start your blog is so intense. You have to work and create those evergreen blog posts, churning out 1,000 + word pages in hopes of setting yourself up for good SEO. How long did it take to get your blog off the ground after launching?
When I created my blog, most of your strategies were similar were with mine. Though I learned many new things from your post. Keep doing the best works.
too helpful post with lots of uniqueness……………….
Hello Luke, I learned many new things from your post.
Hai, This is nice post.Thank for your information.Okay,Great Thank you.
I've created my blog but I'm not able to generate traffic can you please share some helpful tips for a beginner?
Hey Luke, can i open a blog using google blogger? And what are the disadvantages?
I highly recommend creating your own blog on your own domain using WordPress. Using Blogger is kind of like building your brand for someone else. You don't own your blog, blogger does.
Just curious how you managed to grow the audience…i.e do you have a backlinking technique you deploy?


News, NewsNow, Premier League, Transfers June 22, 2018 , by Ian H.
Arsenal confirmed that Bernd Leno is the club's second signing of the summer. The Gunners reached an agreement with his old club and the German international is now our first team keeper for next season.
The North London club conceded 60 goals last term, a stat which might have led to the club recruiting a new keeper and the arrival of Leno means the likes of Petr Cech, David Ospina, Emi Martinez will be limited to the bench for the majority of next season and some of them might be pushed to force a move away from the club.
Leno has featured in 304 games for Bayern Leverkusen since he joined from Vfb Stuttgart in 2012, keeping 100 clean sheets.
This wasn't enough to earn him a space in Joachim Loew's World Cup squad but lets wait and see if he makes it in to Germany's squad since he's now at Arsenal, arguably a bigger club than Leverkusen.
Along with Leno, we have also managed to secure the signature of Stephan Lichtsteiner and are scheduled to announce Sokratis Papastathopoulos on the 1st of July.


Over 11,000,000 man-hours without a lost time incident.
Completing the work under the provisions of the contract by innovating and implementing new concrete pouring methodologies.
Implementation of quality standards and construction procedures in accordance with the latest standards in developed countries.
Saving of up to 10% in related costs and expenditures.
Navrood, as head of the joint venture, had to provide reliable communication links and information flow throughout the project management organization, put in place an effective quality management system, set up a well-organized and resourced HSE unit, work out detailed plans for daily, weekly and monthly progress reporting, and organize cost control procedures to ensure on time and on budget completion of work.


The University of Newcastle has slipped in global rankings.
The university is now ranked in the 301 to 350 band after falling out of the 251 to 300 band. In 217 the institution sat in the 201-250 band.
Victoria University and La Trobe University are the other Australian universities that sit in the same band.
Macquarie University and the University of Wollongong are ranked in the 201-250 band while Western Sydney University was ranked in the 351 to 400 band.
The overall rankings reflect the number of students at a university, student to staff ratios, male to female ratios and the number of international students.
They also take into account teaching, research, citations, industry incomes and proportion of international students.
The University of Newcastle was among a number of Australian universities that lost ground in this year's rankings. The rankings' authors warned that Australia's tertiary institutions faced being overtaken unless there was more investment in universities and research facilities.
A University of Newcastle spokeswoman said the Times Higher Education World University Rankings was one of many benchmarks of sector and institutional performance.
"Just a few months ago, for example, we were placed 214 in the QS World University Rankings – up 10 places since last year, and an impressive 84 places since 2014," she said.
She fluctuations in performance were to be expected from year to year.
"In this year's Times Higher Education rankings, our relative performance across Teaching, Research and Citations is generally stable, and we've performed particularly well in the Industry Engagement and International Outlook categories, outperforming the likes of Harvard University. This is demonstrable of our concerted efforts to collaborate with, and contribute to, our local and international communities," she said.
The Herald reported this week that the University of Newcastle has gained top marks in two categories in the 2019 Good Universities Guide. The Guide placed Newcastle in the top twenty per cent of Australian universities for overall student experience and social equity.
More than a quarter of the university's undergraduate students were from disadvantaged backgrounds, earning it a fourth place in the guide's 'social equity' ranking in Australia, first in NSW.
The University of Melbourne remains Australia's highest-placed university at equal 32nd, according to the 2019 world university rankings, released on Wednesday. It was followed by the Australian National University, which slipped one spot to 49th.
The University of Sydney (59th), The University of Queensland (69th), Monash University (84th) and the University of New South Wales (96th) round out the list of Australian universities in the top 100.

Below are our most frequently asked questions about exams, contacts, glasses, and eyes. Check out our other patient resource pages to learn more about common vision conditions, the latest technology in vision correction and more!
1. Why do I need an annual eye exam?
Eye health is just as important as taking care of your teeth or body. Eye exams are necessary because they can help prevent vision loss and other eye diseases and ailments. Annual eye exams keep you and your doctor up-to-date on any issues that could arise.
2. How much does and eye exam cost?
Our eye exams start at $145.00. We do accept most major medical and vision insurance plans too!
3. What does an eye doctor do during my annual eye exam?
During a basic eye exam, your eye doctor will cover a few main points, starting with your medical history. Next, they will have you take a visual acuity test to see if you need glasses or contacts. Your doctor may also check the pressure of your eye and if necessary, dilate your eye.
4. How long will the eye appointment usually take?
We strive to spend as much time as needed with each patient, therefore, there is not an exact length of time we can quote for your eye examination. Factors that can influence the length of your exam are dependent on your individual vision needs and the overall health of your eyes.
For your appointment, make sure to bring any current glasses or contacts you have and a list of current medications that you are taking. If you are having your eyes dilated, make sure to come with a family member or friend so someone can drive you home if you are unsure of how your eyes function after being dilated (see below).
6. What is dilation and how long does it take to wear off?
When getting your eyes dilated, your doctor will put drops in your eyes. After the drops have had time to work, usually about 15 to 30 minutes, you may start to experience blurry vision and light sensitivity. Dilation is necessary because it gives your eye doctor a better view of your retina by opening the pupil wider to let more light in. This allows your doctor to check for various eye diseases and conditions. Normally, dilation effects last about three to six hours and typically only affects near vision so driving afterward is generally allowed. In children, adults with lighter colored eyes (irides), and patients with certain conditions, dilation could last much longer (up to 24 hours).
7. When should I start getting regular eye exams for my child?
Although annual eye exams are not always necessary for children, we recommended that they have them in stages. The first exam should be done around 6 months old, which is about the time their visual acuity improves. The next exam should occur around age 3, and then again when entering their first grade, around 5 or 6 years old. Children are visual learners and can suffer from nearsighted or farsightedness, astigmatism, or even amblyopia, which is often referred to as a "lazy-eye," so it is important for them to have exams as well. If your child is bumping into objects, sitting too close to the television or having a difficult time learning in school, it is best to schedule an eye exam to rule out any underlying visual causes.
8. What is the difference between an optometrist, ophthalmologist, and an optician?
Optometrists have a doctor of optometry (OD) degree and can provide full eye care services including exams, prescriptions, and treat most eye conditions and diseases. An ophthalmologist can provide all those services plus perform surgery and have a medical doctor (MD) or doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO) degree. If eye surgery is necessary, your optometrist will refer you to an ophthalmologist. Opticians are specialists that have been trained to fit eyeglasses and make lenses to correct vision problems.
9. I have an eye emergency/injury after-hours, who do I call?
For after hour emergencies call 1-316-775-6341 then press 32 to be directed to the doctor on call. The Dr. will return your call within an hour. For severe injuries or vision impairment/loss or if unsure what to do, go to the nearest emergency room!
1. Why should I order my glasses from T&G Eyecare?
Although there are plenty of third-party glasses retailers, ordering your glasses from T&G means 100% satisfaction guaranteed. We can make sure your prescription is correct, help you find any frames to fit your needs and more.
2. How long does it take to get my new glasses?
Glasses are ready in 7 – 10 business days.
3. How should I take care of and clean my eyeglasses?
When you are not wearing your glasses, make sure to store them in a case so they don't get damaged. The best way to clean your glasses is to use glasses spray or wipes and then a clean soft cloth to dry.
4. What if I don't like my new glasses?
If you don't like your new glasses — simple! Let us fix them for you. Whether that be a new frame or a simple adjustment, we want you to be satisfied with your glasses.
5. What is the warranty on my eyeglasses?
Most of our frames and lenses come with a 1 year warranty. Warranties vary based on lens and frame options.
1. Why should I order my contacts from T&G Eyecare?
Ordering your contacts from T&G is just like ordering your glasses from us. We are not only a reliable source for contacts, but, if you are not satisfied with your product, we will exchange them for something you enjoy.
2. How long does it take to get my new contacts?
Most contact lens orders can be picked up within 1 – 2 business days.
3. How do I take care of and clean my contacts?
The first step for caring for your contacts (and your eye) is to make sure your hands are clean whenever you handle them. Use a mild soap when washing your hands if possible and do not apply lotions before touching them. After putting your contacts in, rinse your lens container with contact solution and allow the lens container to air dry throughout the day. When you take your contacts out at night, make sure to put them your lens container with fresh contact solution every time. Don't use water, saline, or rewetting solution as none of these products will actually disinfect your contacts. The type of material your contacts are made from may cause the care to be different than other contact lenses you have used previously. Be sure to follow the instructions on disinfecting the contact lenses that we give you during your appointment to prevent bacteria, build up and other issues that could damage your contacts and injure your eyes.
4. What lens solution should I use?
Lens solution is different for every patient. We offer a variety of solutions to fit the needs of all patients.
The anatomy of the eye is extremely complex as there are many parts that work together for you to see. This is just a basic explanation of how seeing works. First, light rays have to enter through the cornea, which then bends the light rays so they pass through the pupil. Much like a camera shutter, the iris will enlarge or shrink depending on how much light is being passed through. Next, the light passes through the lens which will shorten or lengthen its width to properly focus. Then the light comes to a sharp focus point on the retina which captures the light rays and processes them into electrical impulses. The electrical impulses are then sent to through the optic nerve to the brain which interprets the image and lets you know what you are seeing!
2. What is considered "legally blind"?
To be considered legally blind, neither eye would be able to see better than a visual acuity of 20/200 vision. Visual acuity is the number that indicates sharpness or clarity. This means, based off of the universal standard of 20/20 vision, a person that sees 20/200 who is 20 feet away from the eye chart sees what someone with unimpaired vision would see from 200 feet away. This is usually the top line of a vision chart.
Low vision means there is significant visual impairment that will not be corrected through glasses, contacts, or surgery. Although it may sound similar to being legally blind, they are still separate issues as low vision can still be helped through means such as glasses or contacts.
4. What is digital eye strain?
Digital eye strain (DES) is exactly what it sounds like. DES is caused by looking too long at a phone, laptop, or other electronic devices. This can cause headaches, dry or itchy eyes, irritated eyes, or discomfort from staring too long.
5. Is pink eye contagious?
Since pink eye, or conjunctivitis, could be caused by an allergy, bacteria or virus, it is best to seek medical attention to determine if it may be contagious. Allergic conjunctivitis is not contagious and should resolve with proper treatment.
Astigmatism is a condition of the eye that causes the eye to not focus all the light entering it into one focus point. Astigmatism can be combined with nearsightedness or farsightedness or may be by itself. As a result, the lens that is used to correct astigmatism will have an "out of round" surface. Often an attempt to describe astigmatism will include a comparison of the eye to the side of a football. The long curve of the side of the football would not focus light the same as the short curve.
7. Can UV rays hurt my eyes?
Yes, extended exposure to UV rays can cause many eye problems such as cataracts, macular degeneration, and other forms of eye damage. It is important to wear sunglasses when you are outside to protect your eyes from these issues.

Every site has flaws, and for such a site like this one, we must take the risk that someone might edit something wrong, with no one else on to see it. Thus we cannot guarantee for every single detail to be correct every single second of the day, but we can and do guarantee all information to be correct within a reasonable time period. At least until a staff member of the Wiki patrols those changes.
